Korva's speed slowed down, but Ismail overtook the lead at the end of the straight. Zhang Guan took advantage of this opportunity to overtake Korva and followed Ismail.
Ismail was depressed and led the entire curve. When the athletes entered the straight again, there were only 300 meters left before the end of the race.
The sprint point of 800 meters is earlier. Many athletes start sprinting after entering the last 200 meters. Carmel behind knows that there is not much time left for them. Perhaps the 100 meters in the straight is to interfere with Zhang Guan's sprint. Last chance.
"You still have to use the blocking method." Carmel secretly gave a gesture to Bongay next to him.
Bangayi understood, and then the two began to accelerate at the same time. They caught up with Zhang Guan in front of him in the straight road, and then the two moved to Zhang Guan's side one after another. Together with Ismail, the three Zhang Guan's position where individuals are stuck together.
But Zhang Guan felt that the current speed was a bit slow.
Zhang Guan's goal is not only an Olympic gold medal, he is also preparing to break the 800-meter world record. However, at the current speed of progress, he may not be able to achieve the 800-meter world record.
"The pace of the leader is not fast enough. If we continue at this pace, it is impossible to break the world record. It seems that the 800-meter contestants are still far behind the world record." Zhang Guan thought silently in his heart. , and at the same time, he decided not to follow, but to catch up to the front. Even if he used some stamina potions, he would set a world record.
But at this time, Zhang Guan discovered that he was stuck on the inside by Bangayi and Carmel, and could not turn to the outside to overtake him. Unless he was willing to give up his position and let Bangayy and Carmel run to the inside. Go in front of yourself.
"Just give way, I'm not going to follow anyway, I want to sprint ahead." Zhang Guan thought of this, slowed down, gave up his second position, and fell behind Bangayi and Carmel. behind.
…
"The position blocking tactic worked. Zhang Guan took the initiative to give up his position. There are still more than 200 meters left from the finish line. Zhang Guan must not be able to adapt to this kind of competition rhythm. Maybe there is a physical problem! Sure enough, it is still mine. Tactics are the most effective." There was a proud look in Carmel's eyes.
However, Carmel did not know that after Zhang Guan gave up his position, he immediately turned to the outside track. When the track in front of Zhang Guan was empty, the effect of the follow-up skill disappeared instantly.
Zhang Guan was now faster than before. In two seconds, he had already caught up with Carmel.
Carmel was still feeling complacent about the success of his tactics, but the figure that suddenly caught up from behind on the right surprised him. The red shirt and the tall figure told Carmel that the man he caught up with was Zhang Guan.
"It's Zhang Guan! He's catching up from the outside track! What is he going to do? Is he going to lead the race because he can't occupy a good position?" Carmel was still thinking about what tactics Zhang Guan was going to use. By that time, Zhang Guan had already surpassed him.
Zhang Guan ran all the way, his speed was faster than any other athlete. He surpassed Carmel, Bongay, and Ismail, and rushed to the first position.
"Zhang Guan is taking the lead!" This is the thought in every contestant's mind.
However, they all made a mistake in their judgment. Zhang Guan rushed to the first position, but had no intention of slowing down. He still maintained his original high speed and rushed into the corner.
"Zhang Guan is not leading! He is sprinting! Why did he rush so early? There are still more than 200 meters left in the race, but Zhang Guan sprinted ahead of schedule!"
The audience couldn't care less about the enthusiastic cheers that followed. They saw Zhang Guan rushing to the front. They saw Zhang Guan rushing to the finish line quickly, so they gave them applause and cheers without hesitation. Voice.
With these applause, Zhang Guan transformed into a wild horse, his speed getting faster and faster, with no intention of slowing down.
Zhang Guan was the first to rush into the final straight, while the other players were already far behind Zhang Guan.
The camera was directly focused on Zhang Guan. At this moment, other players had become foils. All people were looking forward to was the moment Zhang Guan crossed the finish line, and that was the moment people were waiting for.
Behind the scenes, other contestants had already realized that Zhang Guan was sprinting. Of course, those who wanted to win the championship could not let Zhang Guan cross the finish line first, so they also began to accelerate. But how could their speed compare with Zhang Guan, not to mention that Zhang Guan had already opened some distance.
The tall figure standing in front of Carmel was filled with reluctance.
"Why? We have tried various methods to interfere with Zhang Guan, but why is there no effect at all? Why can he still sprint so fast? It turns out that what we did before was all in vain!" Carmel There was a look of despair in their eyes. They could be said to have used all means except dragging Zhang Guan behind with their hands, but in the end it had no effect. Zhang Guan seemed to be invulnerable to fire and water. , such a Zhang Guan really makes people unable to have the desire to challenge.
"Is the gap between us really that big?" Ramzi had a doubt in his heart.
…
Banggai looked at Zhang Guan in front of him. He visually measured the distance between the two sides and couldn't help but feel a little shocked.
"I'm actually so far behind Zhang Guan!"
Although Bongay has not won a championship in the world's top events, he can enter the Olympic finals, which also shows that he has the world's top strength, but he has never been so far behind a player in the game.
"Is this the strongest track and field athlete in the world? He is actually so strong! Yes, it is strength!" Bangayi silently repeated the word "strength" in his heart.
"We used so many methods to disrupt Zhang Guan, but in the end they all had no effect. It is precisely because Zhang Guan has great strength! We are athletes. Although we will use some tricks to win, in the final analysis, the competition depends on It’s still about your own strength, not those dispensable tricks. Perhaps in front of truly capable players, those little tricks are simply something that you don’t need to care about.”
Bongay's mind suddenly flashed back to his childhood. In a poor tribe in Kenya, becoming an athlete was the only way out of poverty and into urban life. In the area where he lived, there were hundreds of thousands of athletes every year. Children follow this path one after another, hoping to become athletes.
Bongai was lucky and successful. He stood out among thousands of people and became the best middle-distance runner in Kenya and the best athlete in the world. And all this did not rely on tricks, but It is a powerful force. He worked hard day and night to improve his strength, and finally stood in the Olympic finals.
"I was wrong, I was really wrong. I am an athlete. When facing an opponent who is stronger than me, I should improve myself through hard training and then defeat him, instead of playing tricks in the game. trick!"
At this moment, Bangayi suddenly had a glimmer of understanding, and there was even more determination in his eyes.
"Zhang Guan, thank you for making me understand this! To be able to reach the Olympic finals, I am not weaker than any of them. I have to work hard! I have to work hard to get everything I want!"
The next moment, Bangayi vaguely stood out from the crowd. Although he could no longer catch up with Zhang Guan, he was ranked second.
…
"Come on! Come on! Zhang Guan! Come on!"
The shouts at the scene have become one, and everyone's eyes are fixed on the finish line, and Zhang Guan has already rushed there.
Zhang Guan leaned forward, made a sprinting motion, and successfully crossed the finish line.
"Win! Win! Zhang Guan wins again! The eighth gold medal! Zhang Guan did it! Zhang Guan did it! In one Olympic Games, he won eight gold medals, he did it!"
While the commentator was speaking, the time it took Zhang Guan also appeared on the electronic display.
"1 minute, 40 seconds and 22 seconds! Sure enough, it is a new world record! A new 800-meter world record! Prior to this, the 800-meter world record was 1 minute, 41 seconds and 11 set by Danish player Kibkater. Today, Zhang Guan broke this world record! 100 meters, 200 meters, 400 meters, 800 meters, 1500 meters, Zhang Guan swept the world records in all Olympic events from 100 meters to 1500 meters! In addition to the long jump and three years Zhang Guan currently holds the world record in seven events. From this point on, he has surpassed the six world records of American player Phelps. Although both Zhang Guan and Phelps have He once won eight gold medals in one Olympic Games, but Zhang Guan wants to get one more world record! Zhang Guan is well-deserved as the greatest athlete in the world!"
The slogan "The Greatest Athlete in History" was already displayed in the audience, and the commentator kept repeating this word. Obviously, no matter what excuses the foreign media may find, in the hearts of Chinese people, Zhang Guan is already the greatest athlete in the world.
…
Four seconds after Zhang Guan crossed the finish line, Bangayi was the second to cross the finish line, followed by Sudan's Ismail and Kenya's Korwa. Bahrain's Kamel was beaten by Canada's Li Li at the final moment of crossing the line. The distance between the two was only 0.01 seconds. The last two were won by Cuban players and Algerian players.
The 800-meter race may be over, but the debate about the world's greatest athlete has just begun.
Before the start of this game, the American media could also say that Phelps's results were better, with eight gold medals and six world records than Zhang Guan, so Phelps is the greatest athlete in the world. . However, after this game, Zhang Guan also won eight gold medals, but one more world record. What's more, Zhang Guan will win at least one basketball silver medal in the future, so in terms of results, Zhang Guan has surpassed Philp Sri Lanka.
However, many foreign media do not want to admit that Zhang Guancai is the greatest athlete in the world. This is due to prejudice against China. Many Western media look at China's achievements through colored glasses, such as China's certain achievements in science and technology. Inventions will be said to be plagiarized from the West, or stolen from the West. In fact, the Western world itself has not reached that level of technology.
There is no such thing as plagiarism or stealing information in sports, especially in track and field, where the competition is about hard power. If I can run faster than you and jump further than you, that means I am better than you! Can you still say that I copied your running style, or that I stole your speed? Do you have to innovate a way of running by hopping on one foot
Therefore, the achievements in sports can make those who look at China through colored glasses speechless.
However, there are still many Western media who are unwilling to admit that Zhang Guan is the greatest athlete in the world. It is easy for some reporters who are good at confusing right and wrong to find faults. So they used time to talk about things one after another, that is, Phelps is the first athlete to win eight gold medals in one Olympic Games, and Zhang Guan is only the second, so Zhang Guan is still not as good as Phelps.
This is not the first time they have used this method of nitpicking or avoiding the important. For example, when a Western media with an anti-China tendency reported on the 2008 Olympics, they first reported on the gold medal list. However, they found that China surpassed the United States and became the first place in the gold medal list, so they stopped reporting on the gold medal list the next day. Instead, we started reporting on the medal table, because the United States was No. 1 on the medal table. But soon China surpassed the United States in the medal list, and then this media shamelessly added together the medals of all EU member states. There are more than 20 European member states, including Britain, Germany, and Italy. As a sports powerhouse, it definitely has more medals than China. In all the media’s Olympic medal lists, the number of medals from the European Union is first, followed by China, the United States and Russia. At that time, some people joked that if China's medal count exceeded that of the entire European Union, then this media would definitely add the medals of all NATO countries together.
At this time, a report appeared in the eyes of reporters around the world. It was a post-race interview with Zhang Guan after the 800-meter race.
"Yes, I have won eight gold medals, but I feel that this is not the end. There are still two days of the Olympics, and I still have the opportunity to go further." Zhang Guan smiled slightly at the camera and continued: "I am not satisfied. After winning eight gold medals, I will strive for the ninth gold medal next!”
This is not just an ordinary news report.
This is more like Zhang Guan’s declaration of war! He wants to tell the world with facts who is the greatest athlete in the world!
