A new day of Olympic competition has not yet begun. On the other side of the world, due to the time difference, it is now the prime time for television viewing. Especially in the United States, the most popular talk shows are becoming popular.
A talk show-type program invited several well-known sports commentators. They were all well-known athletes in the past and have been active in the sports world after retiring. Now it happens to be during the Olympic Games, and discussions related to the Olympic Games can attract the most attention of the audience, so it is also the time when these well-known sports commentators are active.
"Zhang Guan wants to win the ninth gold medal? This must be an exaggeration. I think eight gold medals has reached his limit. He cannot surpass Phelps." One of the guests said.
Another guest immediately said: "I think so too. To be honest, eight gold medals are enough to shock the world. Zhang Guan has achieved the same achievements as Phelps."
The two of them kept mentioning Phelps, both open and closed, just to show that Phelps is a greater athlete than Zhang Guan.
The talk show host smiled and nodded, and then said: "Since both guests think so, please analyze for us why eight gold medals is the limit for Zhang Guan?"
"This is mainly judged by Zhang Guan's participating events. So far, the eight gold medals Zhang Guan has won are tennis, 100-meter dash, 200-meter dash, 400-meter dash, 800-meter dash, 1500-meter dash, and long jump. and triple jump, and then he still has two events left to complete, the 4x100-meter relay and basketball. Although Zhang Guan successfully entered the finals in these two events, he still wants to win the championship , obviously impossible!”
The guest smiled slightly and continued: "Basketball and 4x100 meters are both team events. The Chinese team is not good at team events, I think everyone knows this. In the basketball event, the Chinese team has to face our dream Team, the result is already determined, I don’t need to introduce it. In the 4x100m event, although our American team unfortunately failed to enter the finals, and the defending champion British team also missed the finals due to fouls, but don’t forget that there is also the Jamaican team .”
"Jamaica's sprint team has risen rapidly in the past two years," the talk show host said.
"Yes, the Jamaican team has Bolt and Powell. Although neither of them is Zhang Guan's opponent, the disadvantages of other players in the Chinese team have completely offset Zhang Guan's advantages." The guest continued: "This It seems to be an arithmetic problem. Even if Zhang Guan can be 0.5 seconds faster than other athletes, the other three players of the Chinese team are each 0.2 seconds slower, so the total is 0.6 seconds slower, so the Chinese team is still 0.1 seconds slower in the end. seconds, not to mention that Bolt cannot be 0.5 seconds slower than Zhang Guan."
…
"I was still praising Zhang Guan's greatness, but now I have to say that Zhang Guan is really too arrogant. Perhaps the eight gold medals made him lose himself and made him forget that he is just a human being. If Next, Zhang Guanshuo will participate in individual events. I think he has hope of winning the ninth gold medal, but the next 4x100 meters is a team event. The Chinese team is really inferior to Jamaica in this event. There is a big gap in strength. I think China’s only hope of winning is that the Jamaican team will foul.”
A well-known European sports commentator wrote this on his blog. This blogger's position has always been relatively neutral, but when Zhang Guan called for winning the ninth gold medal, he still was not optimistic about Zhang Guan.
In fact, almost everyone is not optimistic that Zhang Guan will win the ninth gold medal, including some domestic sports people.
In the 4x100m event, the Jamaican team is really very strong. Even if the foursome of Carter, Flatt, Powell and Bolt break the world record of 4x100m, no one will be able to break the 4x100m world record. Feel surprised.
The key is that the other three players of the Chinese team are too weak. If the level of the other three players of the Chinese team can reach the middle level in the world, the Chinese team may still have hope of winning the gold medal. However, the other three players of the Chinese team are all at the Olympic B standard level. This is obviously only good on the big stage of the Olympic Games. It can be regarded as a lower level. No matter how strong Zhang Guan is, it is impossible to complete the task of winning gold with three laggards.
Therefore, in the eyes of the world, winning the Olympic gold medal in the 4x100m is obviously an impossible task for Zhang Guan.
…
"Does Zhang Guan still want to compete for the 4x100m championship?" Bolt had a joking smile on his face, but there was a sense of determination in this smile.
"You have already taken away two gold medals from me, are you going to take away my third gold medal? This time, I can't let you get what you want! I must win the 100-meter final in the four cities!" Bol Te raised his head and saw Powell standing opposite, looking at him with a smile.
"I know what you are thinking, I can guess it." Powell suddenly said, and then said: "Maybe what you are thinking is exactly what I am thinking."
As Powell spoke, he walked over, sat next to Bolt, and then said: "This time, we must win, we can't lose to Zhang Guan again. If we compete in the 4x100m event, I If you lose to Zhang Guan, you will be really embarrassed."
Compared to Bolt, Powell has lost to Zhang Guan more times. Starting from the Athens Olympics four years ago, followed by the 2005 and 2006 Golden League and other World Athletics Grand Prix, Powell lost consecutively to Zhang Guan. Zhang Guan dozens of times, never won.
Powell himself even felt numb from losing, but when he heard Zhang's declaration of winning his ninth gold medal this morning, the fire of passion in his heart was ignited again.
Powell wants to win. He wants to get the Olympic gold medal. This time it is a team event. He is no longer alone. He has teammates, and they are the strongest teammates in the world. This is the reason why Powell must win.
"We want to win!"
"We want victory!"
Two of the best athletes in the world are already in high spirits!
Not far away, another Jamaican player Flatt seemed to feel the will of the two, and his eyes became hot. Only Carter, who ran the first leg, seemed a little nervous.
…
On August 23, the penultimate competition day of the Olympic Games, at the Bird's Nest, the main venue of the Olympic Games, the last event of the day, the men's 4x100m final, will be held.
Zhang Guan is about to win his ninth gold medal in this Olympics.
An impossible mission.
