It was already evening, and there were only a few dozen minutes left before the Olympic Games closing ceremony began. On the other side of the world, it was early morning.
The ringtone of his cell phone woke Phelps from his sleep. He opened his eyes angrily, and the first thing he saw was a brown-haired beauty.
Phelps' Olympic competition has long been over. He returned to the United States with eight gold medals and immediately became the darling of the United States. While advertising contracts came in piles, Phelps's "bad boy" nature It also shows that going to nightclubs and dating beautiful women has become something he must do every day. Almost every day he wakes up, there is a new face in front of him.
Phelps got out of bed and walked in the direction of the sound. He finally found his cell phone on the table full of leftovers. The caller ID showed his agent's phone number.
"Why are you calling so early?" Phelps grumbled with dissatisfaction, and then he picked up the phone.
"Michael, I'm sorry to bother you so early, but I have to tell you some unfortunate news. In the just-concluded Olympic men's basketball finals, our dream team lost!" the agent's voice sounded.
"Oh my god! Did you call me so early just to tell me this?" Phelps said dissatisfied: "It is true that losing in basketball is depressing, but it's not like those guys have never lost before. I remember the last time Didn't they also lose the Olympics? What does this have to do with me?"
"The Chinese team defeated us!" the agent continued.
"Oh, that's such an upset!" Phelps' words were full of irony, and he continued: "But it still has nothing to do with me!"
"How come it doesn't matter? Have you forgotten that Zhang Guan also participated in the Olympic basketball game, and he is also on the Chinese team! And now he has won his ninth gold medal." The agent said After a pause, he continued with a hint of frustration: "He surpassed your eight gold medals!"
"What? Zhang Guan won his ninth gold medal? What do those guys on the basketball team do for a living! What a dream team! What a dream team! They can't even keep an Olympic gold medal!" Phelps roared angrily, He immediately put the blame on the US men's basketball team.
Winning eight gold medals in one Olympic Games is an unprecedented achievement that everyone will treasure extremely. No one will give up the title of "the greatest athlete". Now this great achievement has been surpassed by Zhang Guan. Phelps Of course he will become angry.
"The news has come out. Zhang Guan defeated the Dream Team with a three-pointer at the last moment. You can go to the computer and take a look!" the agent said.
"Okay, I'll go check it out right away." Phelps hung up the phone and walked to the computer. As he turned on the computer, he muttered: "If I had known this, I would have participated in two more competitions. Maybe I can win 10 gold medals, but Zhang Guan will not surpass me!"
Phelps has participated in a total of eight individual and team events in this Olympics. His personal ability allows him to participate in several more events, but the US team is worried that Phelps's energy cannot cope with so many events at the same time. Phelps only participated in eight competitions.
Phelps's strongest events are butterfly and freestyle, but his first gold medal at this Olympics was the 400-meter medley, and he broke the world record to win. The 400-meter medley divides the 400-meter distance into four sections, and a different swimming method is required every 100 meters. The individual medley competition is conducted in the order of butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle. Phelps can break the world record in this event , indicating that he is also world-class in backstroke and breaststroke, especially in backstroke, Phelps is capable of competing for Olympic gold medals. As for breaststroke, Phelps' breaststroke technique four years ago was still relatively rough and could only be considered world-class. However, after four years of training, his breaststroke technique has improved a lot.
When the computer was turned on, Phelps couldn't wait to open the browser and found news related to the Olympic Games.
"Huh?" The first thing that caught Phelps's eyes was not the news that Dream Team 8 lost the gold medal, but another big headline.
"The results of the men's 4x100m Jamaican team were cancelled! The Chinese team won the gold medal in this event?" Phelps' eyes widened, and the next moment he clicked the mouse to enter this news.
"Has a member of the Jamaican team used doping? The International Anti-Doping Organization and the IAAF have confirmed it? The gold medal of the Jamaican team has been canceled? The Chinese team has become the gold medal winner in this event? Doesn't that mean that Zhang Guan won another one? A gold medal? 10 golds? 10 golds!"
Phelps leaned back in his chair in despair. A moment ago, he was still imagining that if he participated in two more events, he might have a chance to win 10 gold medals. But just a few seconds later, he It was discovered that Zhang Guan had already accomplished this.
Although Phelps didn't want to admit it in his heart, he understood that even if he could really win 10 gold medals, the gold content would still be inferior to Zhang Guan. Almost every one of Zhang Guan's 10 gold medals could be regarded as Miracles, the Golden Slam in tennis, the leap from 100 meters to 1,500 meters in track and field, and the victory over the Dream Team in basketball were like a unique epic drama, but Phelps felt that he had become a part of this epic drama. The main supporting character and the biggest villain of the show.
"He can really be said to be the greatest athlete in the world!" Phelps sighed softly.
…
All competitions in the Olympic Games have ended, and the audience is sitting in front of the TV, waiting to watch the final closing ceremony.
On the TV, the host of the seven o'clock live broadcast said in a clear voice: "After 19 days of fierce competition in the Olympic Games, all competitions finally ended today... Our athletes performed well in this Olympic Games and won a total of 61 2 gold medals, 21 silver medals, and 28 bronze medals..."
"61 gold medals? Did I hear that right? Isn't it 60 gold medals? The boxing competition over 91 kilograms just ended. The host said it was 60 gold medals. It was already the last event in the Olympic Games. , why is there another gold medal? Could it be that the host made a mistake?" said an audience member in front of the TV.
"How can you say something like this wrong? I'll check it out online!" His son said as he walked back to his room. After a while, he heard a shout from inside the room: "Dad, hurry up!" Come and see! The relay race in Jamaica was cancelled, and we got another gold medal! 10 golds, Zhang Guan got 10 golds!"
"10 gold?" The spectator jumped up from the sofa and ran over quickly.
…
"The results of the Jamaican team were disqualified because they were found to be doping? Then I won another gold medal? 10 gold medals? Perfect, a good sign!" Zhang Guan was also very surprised by the result. He thought that nine gold medals was his limit, but he didn't expect that he would win another gold medal before the closing ceremony began.
"The American team and the British team fouled in the preliminaries of the relay race, and the Jamaican team was found to be doping. This is really dramatic. Such good things can happen to me, it's pie in the sky! I I really should buy lottery tickets!" Zhang Guan said into his mobile phone.
On the other end of the phone, Director Ma could not restrain his excitement. He said: "In this Olympics, we have achieved unprecedented good results in track and field events. The leaders of the association have decided that after the General Sports Commendation Conference, we will I will also hold a commendation meeting, and I will inform you in advance that I will not leave Beijing for the next two days."
…
The news that the Jamaican team's relay gold medal was canceled spread across the country immediately. The Olympic Games were already over, but they got another gold medal. It can really be said to be an unexpected surprise.
However, Zhang Guan won 10 gold medals in one Olympic Games, which is something that people pay more attention to. Because just yesterday, people all over the world thought that Zhang Guan would stop winning 8 gold medals, and there were also voices of regret in China. But just one day later, Zhang Guan not only won the 9th gold medal, but also won 10 gold medals. Winning two gold medals in a row completed a super reversal.
The discussion of the greatest athletes can be put to rest. For some athletes who are known as "legends of a generation", they will not be able to win 10 Olympic gold medals in their lifetime. Zhang Guan did it in just one Olympic Games.
At the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games, the camera once again found Zhang Guan, and all this was met with thunderous applause!
"Four years ago, when Zhang Guan won the men's 100-meter gold medal at the Athens Olympics, we remembered his name for the first time; and four years later, when he appeared on the Olympic stage again, he became The greatest athlete in the world. In one Olympic Games, he participated in 10 events and won championships in all of them, world records in seven events, the Golden Slam in tennis, and the three-pointer in the men's basketball finals. With the buzzer-beater, Zhang Guan gave us so many things worth remembering in this Olympics, with passion, excitement, and pride!"
The host paused and then said: "Although the quadrennial Olympics is over, our journey has just begun for our athletes. We believe that in four years, after eight years, in Twelve years later, in every subsequent Olympic Games, no matter what difficulties they encounter, our athletes will move forward bravely and face the wind and rain. There will be more "Zhang Guan" in our sports career. !”
"Chinese athletes, come on!"
