Wariner stood on the track with his ears filled with cheers from the audience. He knew that these sounds were for Zhang Guan.
"It's been two years. Zhang Guan hasn't competed in track and field for two years. Before the Olympics, I thought he was no longer as brave as he was back then. But now it seems I was totally wrong. He's stronger than he was back then." !”
Warina thought of this and sighed. In the past two years, he has continuously set new personal best results, especially in 2007. For a whole year, he almost encountered no opponents. After Zhang Guan left the track and field, He even thought he had secured the Olympic gold medal in the 400 meters.
Varina was also not optimistic about Zhang Guan's comeback. After all, he has not participated in track and field competitions for more than a year. Although Zhang Guan has achieved the world's top achievements in tennis, it is certainly not enough to make up for the loss in track and field. time.
Those who engage in sports need to practice every day, just like those who engage in traditional arts. As the saying goes, if you don't practice for one day, you will know it, if you don't practice for two days, the master will know it, and if you don't practice for three days, the audience will know it. The same is true for competitive sports. If you don't practice for three or four days in a row, your condition will be affected. If you don't play for three or four months in a row, you won't be able to feel the game, let alone being away from the competition for nearly two years.
In Varina's view, Zhang Guan has lost too much time in the track and field field and has lost his competition status. This is more serious than an injury and cannot be made up for through months of training.
However, Zhang Guan's 100-meter world record told Varina that his judgment was wrong. Later in the long jump, 1500 meters and 200 meters, including today's triple jump, Zhang Guan continued to set new world records. These seemed to be an oath to Varina that Zhang Guan from two years ago was back! Not only are we back, but we are even stronger than two years ago!
"How strong will Zhang Guan be now?" Warina suddenly felt a sense of expectation in his heart. He knew that he was facing Zhang Guan in his strongest form. He was very much looking forward to competing with the strongest athletes in the world. A competition.
"Perhaps I still won't be able to defeat Zhang Guan in the next competition, and maybe Zhang Guan will break the 400-meter world record in the next competition, but no matter what, I will show my personal best. I will Show me the strongest version of myself!”
Varina's eyes are full of fighting spirit. This fighting spirit has nothing to do with victory or defeat, but the dignity that a world champion should have. Even if he loses the game, he will rush towards the defeat without fear!
…
"How strong will Zhang Guan be now?" It's not just Varina who has this idea, but also Merritt.
Two years ago, Merritt was still a young athlete. The youth mentioned here does not refer to age, but to the experience of participating in international competitions.
Merritt remembers that the first time he met Zhang Guan was at the indoor track and field championships, where Zhang Guan first appeared in the 400-meter international competition.
At that time, Merritt felt that a 100-meter world champion must be "playing for money" when he ran to the 400-meter field. But what he didn't expect was that he would be completely defeated by Zhang Guan!
When Merritt met Zhang Guan again on the field, he was already the world record holder in the 400 meters. He had won six games in the 400 meters event in the IAAF Golden League. Even Varina was the winner. His men were defeated. At that time, Zhang Guan had become a person that Merritt looked up to.
However, today, Merritt met Zhang Guan again, and it was in the Olympic finals! But that scene two years ago kept flashing through Merritt's mind.
"It's been two years. I've made a lot of progress in the past two years. I even dared to challenge Varina! But when Zhang Guan appeared on the court, I realized that I still hadn't caught up with him. Now Zhang Guan , he should be much stronger than two years ago! How strong will he be now? Will he refresh his world record again? "
Merritt took a deep breath, and his heart was already occupied by excitement. This excitement still had nothing to do with victory or defeat, but the expectation of the game as a professional athlete. He would face the strongest athletes in the world, even if they were You can only keep chasing the opponent's back, and you will rush over without hesitation, without hesitation!
…
The gunshot at the beginning of the game finally sounded. This gunshot carried the waiting of too many people, and it also carried their expectations.
In the 400-meter event, the starting positions are first and last. For ordinary spectators, it is really difficult to tell who is first and who is last before entering the final straight track. All they can do is keep shouting. Keep cheering for the players. So from the moment the athletes started running, the scene was completely overwhelmed by the cheers of the audience.
On the track, Zhang Guan could not hear clearly what the audience was shouting, but he could feel that they were cheering him on.
The surrounding area has turned into a sea of red. The large national flag, the medium national flag, and the small national flag that you are constantly shaking and waving in your hands have dyed the entire auditorium red. At this moment, the ocean is rolling and roaring, expressing her anger and showing their will to the world.
That is the indomitable will and the quality of moving forward courageously, and these are all gathered in Zhang Guan.
"Today's Zhang Guan was so fast!" the coach of the American team couldn't help but sigh.
Zhang Guan was indeed very fast today. He did not use the incomplete sprint activation skills all the time. After entering the first straight, he directly used the sprint skills.
So he's fast, he's faster than usual.
He was the first to rush into the final straight track, and at this time, Varina, who was second, had already been separated by a large distance.
Zhang Guan once again took a physical recovery potion during the game to support him in maintaining this speed and reaching the finish line.
Behind Zhang Guan, Warina was not surprised by Zhang Guan's speed. He felt more relieved.
"It turns out that Zhang Guan has already reached this point! It might be really exciting to be able to compete with such Zhang Guan!" Warina thought silently in his heart.
Warina could feel that Zhang Guan had tried his best today, and Warina also felt happy and satisfied. Warina had already expected that he would lose the game, but Zhang Guan faced it with his strongest self. For Varina, facing these opponents, this is the greatest respect for them.
At this moment, those athletes who are lagging behind are not losers, they are opponents worthy of respect!
After entering the last 100 meters, there was no suspense about who would win the championship. No matter it was Varina, Merritt, Neville, or those European players, they could no longer pose a threat to Zhang Guan's gold medal. They and The distance between Zhang Guan is really too big.
The only suspense has become whether Zhang Guan can break the 400-meter world record.
This is something people look forward to. Perhaps for other athletes, winning a gold medal can already bring a perfect ending to a game. But he is Zhang Guan. How can the Olympic gold medal he won not be worthy of a world record? Only by breaking the world record and winning the championship, that is Zhang Guan, and that is the Zhang Guan that people recognize!
Finally, Zhang Guan crossed the finish line.
The time is fixed at 43.11.
This result may have an error of about one hundredth of a second, but what is certain is that this is a new world record. Because the previous world record was 43.16 seconds held by Zhang Guan himself, so even if the error is taken into account, it will still exceed the original world record.
"Record-breaking win! Seventh gold medal! Sixth event world record! Ninth world record! Zhang Guan, he did it!"
