Bolt is indeed at the top of the world rankings in the 100 meters and 200 meters. Zhang Guan has not participated in track and field competitions for two years, so Zhang Guan's name is no longer on the sprint standings.
"Zhang Guan, I'm here to challenge you again!" Bolt closed his eyes. He thought of the figure he saw on the TV in Athens four years ago. He thought of Zhang Guan's first time breaking the world record. moment, when he first learned about Zhang Guan.
Bolt recalled that in Jamaica, he saw news in the newspaper that Zhang Guan broke world records again and again. At that time, he was excited and envious, dreaming that one day he could be like Zhang Guan.
And the day finally came, Bolt felt that he couldn't hold back the nervous mood. He stood there, his hands trembling involuntarily.
It was not just nervousness, but also excitement. Bolt had a premonition that he was about to reach the top of the 100-meter race and become the fastest man in the world.
"Break the world record! I want to break the world record!" Bolt kept repeating these words in his mind. These few words represented Bolt's belief at this time.
The broadcast in the Bird's Nest has started to play everyone's name, and the whole audience burst into wild applause. At this time, the atmosphere in the scene has reached its peak, especially when the camera shows Zhang Guan, the scene like a landslide and tsunami, It can no longer be described in words.
Zhang Guan smiled slightly at the camera and held out a finger, as if to tell the world that he would win first place.
When the cameraman focused on Bolt, he made an arrow-shooting motion, which is Bolt's signature move.
Zhang Guan, Bolt, Powell, Dicks and Patton from the United States, Thompson and Burns from Trinidad and Tobago, and Martina from the Netherlands Antilles, these are Eight athletes participating in the 100-meter final. They appeared in front of the camera one by one, and immediately, one of them was destined to become the focus of the audience today.
The audience burst into rhythmic applause, as if they were beating war drums for war. Hearing this sound and feeling this atmosphere, even the most experienced Powell could not help but feel a little nervous.
At the referee's signal, the athletes stood on the starting block. Seeing this scene, the audience suddenly became quiet. Everyone was waiting for that sound, the starting gunshot.
"The game is about to start, will anyone jump ahead?"
"In such an important competition, the athletes must be very nervous. Maybe some people can't help but rush away!"
"I don't know who is stronger between Zhang Guan and Bolt."
"Will someone break the world record? It is said that Bolt can run within 9.70 seconds, which is very close to Zhang Guan's world record."
"Maybe Zhang Guan can break his own world record? He has broken world records many times in a year."
The various whispered discussions in his ears made Yu Gui feel more and more restless. At this moment, he felt unprecedented pressure, pressure he had never encountered in his thirty-year coaching career.
"Really, I have led the team to participate in several Olympic Games, why do I still feel so nervous?" Director Yu couldn't help but look at Director Ma next to him, and Director Ma's condition at this time was not much better than Director Yu.
Beads of sweat as big as soybeans rolled down Director Ma's cheeks, and he didn't know whether it was because of heat or nervousness. His face looked a little pale, and although his expression seemed calm, the panic in his eyes betrayed him.
"On-your-marks!" The starter raised his gun and continued: "set..."
Director Ma and Director Yu's bodies were shocked at the same time.
