Countless cameras were focused on Zhang Guan at this moment. Some camera reporters rushed to Zhang Guan regardless of the staff's obstruction. Zhang Guan was seen with a victorious smile on his face. He raised his arms high and stretched out his hands. He raised his index finger and gestured "first", followed by cheers from the audience.
Behind Zhang Guan, Maurice Green looked unwilling. He looked at Zhang Guan who was focused under the flashlight and clenched his fists fiercely.
"All of this should have been mine! If I hadn't consumed too much energy in the semifinals, how could I have lost the finals! Sooner or later, this guy Crawford, I will have to settle accounts with him! And this Chinese guy, Just wait, I will definitely defeat you in the next competition, and I will take back my honor! I will let you know who is the best in the world!" Green has already made up his mind. If he meets Zhang again in the competition, Crown, we must avenge our past humiliation.
But the next moment, he set his sights on the big number board at the finish line showing the results of the fastest athletes, and his face instantly became ugly.
"How could this happen? His speed is so fast! It seems that this Chinese man still has a certain strength. But I will still defeat you next time we meet!" Green's thoughts became more determined.
…
"9 seconds 77! 9 seconds 77! 9 seconds 77! Zhang Guan ran 9 seconds 77! A new world record! This is a new world record! Zhang Guan broke the men's 100-meter dash world record! A black man with yellow hair The skinned Chinese broke the men's 100-meter world record! Zhang Guan is a well-deserved champion and the world's number one flying man! This is a great victory, the greatest victory in the history of our country's track and field!"
After saying this series of words, the pain coming from his vocal cords finally calmed down the commentator. He tried hard to calm down his emotions, picked up the information he had prepared in his hand, and then introduced: "Before again, the world record was set by an American. The 9.78 seconds maintained by Montgomery, and the current top ten results in the world, are all set by Americans. Since the time of the famous American sprinter Carl Lewis in the last century, Americans have monopolized the world record for the 100-meter dash. It has been twenty years, and today, the American monopoly has been broken, by our country’s players!”
"I think that before this, no one would think that Zhang Guan could win the Olympic championship, and no one would think that Zhang Guan could break the men's 100-meter world record. But at this moment, Zhang Guan used his strength to tell the world that he is the best in the world. The fastest one!"
…
Gatlin looked at the scoreboard and sighed helplessly. The runner-up in the Olympics was considered a good result for him. If Gatlin's final time of 9.84 seconds was placed in the finals of a competition like the Olympics, it would not be the same. It is not a very fast result, and there is a gap of 0.07 seconds with Zhang Guan, which is equivalent to a gap in the world's top competition. What's more, Zhang Guan also set a new world record.
"9.77 seconds! A new world record. It's really fast. I didn't get such a good result in practice. I didn't lose unfairly." Gatlin put a smile on his face and stepped forward to talk to Zhang Guan shook hands and congratulated him.
Obikeweru, who placed third, ran a time of 9.86 seconds. This result is quite ideal for him. At least in Europe, no one except him can achieve this result. A bronze medal in Olympic track and field is also very impressive for a country like Portugal.
When Obikweru realized that the cameras were surrounding Zhang Guan, he rushed forward first and gave Zhang Guan a big hug. He congratulated Zhang Guan eloquently in a Nigerian accent, and by the way, he pulled Zhang Guan in front of the camera. He posed several times and forced himself to look for the camera. For an athlete like him who is naturalized in developed European countries, it would be easier to make more money in the future if he became more famous.
The fourth place was Maurice Green. Even though he consumed a lot of energy in the semi-finals, Green still ran a time of 9.87 seconds, showing his strong strength. If he hadn't consumed too much energy in the semifinals, I believe Green could have done better. He just congratulated Zhang Guan symbolically, then turned and left.
The fifth place finisher, Sean Crawford, finished with a time of 9.89 seconds. He looked very calm and did not show any expression of joy or disappointment. Crawford's main event is the men's 200-meter race. For the 100-meter event, Crawford feels that it is fine to let nature take its course, but when it comes to the 200-meter sprint event, he must race against every second.
Jamaican flyer Powell ranked sixth with a time of 9.94 seconds, which was not a perfect result for him. Perhaps influenced by the Olympic finals, Powell seemed very nervous during the game, which also affected his state. At this time, Powell was not yet the man who would monopolize the men's sprint in the future. Zhang Guan's time of 9.77 seconds was still a difficult peak for Powell, and Zhang Guan also became the goal of future efforts in Powell's eyes.
"Congratulations! 9.77 seconds, that's great!" Powell stepped forward to shake hands with Zhang Guan.
Zhang Guan looked at this future super flyer. He knew that in June next year, Powell would be able to reach the time of 9.77 seconds. After that, running within 9.85 seconds would become the norm for Powell.
"Powell, I believe you will also achieve this result next year, maybe at this venue." Zhang Guan said with a smile.
"Me? Next year? Thank you." Powell obviously thought Zhang Guan was comforting himself.
"This is no joke." Zhang Guan paused and said seriously: "I believe you will become the best sprinter in the world.
…
Amid the roaring cheers of the audience, the bright red flag was held high above the heads of the whole country. He slowly walked around the track along the track. This is an honor that belongs to the winner, and he is qualified to share his joy with the world. At this moment, he is the most dazzling star in the world.
In the audience, the few overseas Chinese became the most dazzling stars at this moment. They were excited, they were happy, they cried, they waved the national flag, and enjoyed the envious looks cast by the audiences from other countries around them.
Later, Zhang Guan came to the time display board erected on the ground at the finish line, which showed the results of this championship. Countless photographers have already gathered here, waiting to record this historic moment with their lenses.
9.77 seconds, a new world record. As usual, the new world record holder has to take a photo with this fast number. Zhang Guan’s name and this result will also be engraved in this stadium.
…
Olympic Village, athletes entertainment center.
All the Chinese athletes were in front of the TV, and the TV channel was naturally tuned to the CCTV set.
The TV in the Olympic Village is satellite reception and there is no control, so you can watch domestic TV stations.
In the TV screen, a female reporter was conducting a live interview with Zhang Guan.
"Congratulations, Zhang Guan, you created a miracle today! Not only did you win the 100-meter championship in the Olympics, you also broke the world record. Can you tell me what you think now? Are you very excited?" the female reporter asked.
"I think before the competition, the whole world did not think that I would win the championship or break the world record, but I don't think this is a miracle! Who said that the Chinese can't win the world championship in sprinting? Who said that the Chinese can't win the world championship in sprint events? Can't we break the 100-meter world record? This is not a miracle, it is a matter of course for me! Today I want to tell the world that if others can do it, we Chinese can also do it! Not only can we do it, we can also Do it better than others!”
"Well said!" The national team athletes in front of the TV burst into applause, which directly covered up the female reporter's next question. By the time the applause ended, Zhang Guan had already begun to answer the next question.
"This should be considered a good start, for me, or for our national track and field team." Zhang Guan paused, then said: "I know that next, there will be athletes from the national team participating in the track and field short. I look forward to your performance in the event competition! Since I can do it, I believe you can do it too! Others may despise us, but we must never despise ourselves! I know that you are very strong!"
"I know, you are very strong!" Zhang Guan's words kept popping up in Liu Feiren's mind.
"He is right. Since he can win the Olympic championship, then I can do it too. We are very strong!" Liu Feiren clenched his fists tightly, his eyes full of determination.
Originally, the goal set by the national team for Liu Feiren was to enter the finals, but at this moment, Liu Feiren's mood has changed, and Liu Feiren decided to sprint towards the gold medal.
