At the finish line, a TV timing display board is erected in the air in the runway. This position often displays the results of the first athlete to pass the finish line.
At this time, the time displayed above is 26 minutes and 15 seconds.
"26 minutes and 15 seconds! I'm not dazzled!" Director Ma rubbed his eyes to confirm that he had read it correctly.
Director Ma's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and even his breathing suddenly became rapid.
"26 minutes and 15 seconds! It's really 26 minutes and 15 seconds! The world record, it's the world record! Zhang Guan broke the world record!" Director Ma suddenly turned around and asked the person next to him: "Am I not mistaken?"
"Yes, the previous world record was Bekele's 26 minutes and 17 seconds! Zhang Guan was 2 seconds faster than the world record! He really broke the world record!" the person next to him said immediately.
"Not only is he the champion, but he also broke the world record and won the championship. Zhang Guan is still the same as he was four years ago!" Director Ma showed a strong smile on his face. He waved his hand and said to his colleagues: "How about we go tonight?" Want to have a drink to celebrate? I secretly brought a bottle of Moutai from China."
…
Director Ma was discussing celebrating with his colleagues, but Sebastian had already sobered up. At this time, he was looking at the TV screen with dull eyes, but the number kept flashing in his mind.
"26 minutes and 15 seconds! 26 minutes and 15 seconds! A new world record for 10,000 meters!"
Sebastian sat down on the chair and looked at the TV with a dejected expression. In fact, at this time, what was playing on the TV no longer mattered. That feeling of frustration made Sebastian An felt that life was so boring and empty.
At the beginning of the game, Zhang Guan was thrown away by the big team, which made Sebastian feel the excitement that he had not seen for a long time. However, the final result was a shocking reversal.
Zhang Guan rushed from last to first. Not only did he win the final victory and the Olympic gold medal, he also broke the 10,000-meter world record.
Breaking a record and winning a championship is a rare occurrence in the Olympic Games. In the track and field competition of the London Olympics, Zhang Guan was the first athlete to break a world record and win the championship.
"I worked so hard that Zhang Guan could only participate in three track and field events. Unexpectedly, he once again became a god in the track and field competition!" Sebastian looked disappointed. He picked up the bottle and Drink the remaining brandy in it.
At this time, Sebastian really hoped to get drunk and rest. Perhaps only alcohol could numb the depression in his heart.
…
Farah crossed the finish line second, and then looked at the results monitor.
In 26 minutes and 45 seconds, Farah did run his best time. In the previous track and field Diamond League, Farah's results were all outside of 27 minutes. Sometimes he could get it even if he ran 27 minutes and 30 seconds. champion.
Bekele's previous Olympic record was only 27 minutes and 01 seconds, so a time of 26 minutes and 45 seconds would almost rank among the top 30 in history for 10,000-meter runners.
Normally, Farah would be very excited because he ran a very satisfactory result, a result that he would remember for a lifetime.
But today, when Farah looked at the results display, he was absent-minded for a while, because before Farah, there was a score of 26 minutes and 15 seconds.
"26 minutes and 15 seconds, a new world record! Zhang Guan broke the world record!" Farah suddenly felt as if his chest was being pressed by a heavy stone, making it difficult to breathe.
26 minutes and 15 seconds, for Farah, is a mountain that cannot be overcome in a lifetime!
"I lost!" Farah sighed. Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that he would never be able to surpass the world record of 26 minutes and 15 seconds.
There was confusion in Farah's eyes. He couldn't help but look at Zhang Guan, but there was no Zhang Guan around.
"Where is Zhang Guan?" Farah searched for a long time and finally saw Zhang Guan's figure on the opposite side of the runway.
At this time, Zhang Guanzheng, wearing the national flag, was walking along the periphery of the runway, while still waving to the audience in the stands.
"It turns out that Zhang Guan is celebrating the victory!" Farah had an expression of envy on his face. How he hoped that it was him who was celebrating around the field wearing the national flag. How he hoped that he could get the most enthusiastic cheers from the home audience. with applause.
…
There were spectators from China in the stands who handed a national flag to Zhang Guan. Zhang Guan took advantage of the situation and started to circle the field to celebrate.
The commentators were still marveling at the world record broken by Zhang Guan, while other players also completed the competition one after another.
Every athlete who crossed the finish line was surprised when they saw the time of 26 minutes and 15 seconds. For them, breaking a world record is a lifelong dream, and since Bekele raised the 10,000-meter world record to 26 minutes At 17 seconds, this dream became out of reach.
As one of the parties, Bekele had mixed feelings in his heart. Of course he knew how difficult it was to break his 10,000-meter world record of 26 minutes and 17 seconds. Originally, Bekele thought that this world record could be maintained for twenty or thirty years, but what he didn't expect was that Zhang Guan would In front of him, the world record was broken.
Bekele crossed the finish line fifth. After crossing the finish line, he was about to congratulate Zhang Guan, but found that Zhang Guan had already circled to the other side of the track.
Bekele stopped and was ready to congratulate Zhang Guancuan again when he came back.
However, after Zhang Guan entered the straight track, he ran an arc and turned around, then went around the field in the opposite direction to celebrate.
"Zhang Guan seems to be very happy!" Bekele smiled helplessly: "He is a young man after all, he is energetic. But if it were me who broke the world record, I would be as excited as him!"
…
The level of athletes who can participate in the Olympic Games is not too bad. At about 29 and a half minutes, the last player also ended his game.
At this time, Zhang Guan was still going around the field to celebrate.
"Zhang Guan has been around for three minutes, right?"
"It's almost less than three minutes. This kid must be too excited!"
"Isn't it? It's just a symbolic celebration. It's been three minutes and we're still wasting time on the track. There's still the women's 100m final next!"
"When someone wins a gold medal and breaks a world record, it's normal to be a little excited."
"Having said that, I think the speed at which Zhang Guan goes around the field to celebrate is almost the same as the speed at which he competes!"
"The speed is about the same? Didn't he run three laps in three minutes? At least he had to run an extra 1,000 meters!"
"Others are as tired as a dog after running 10,000 meters. It's better for Zhang Guan to run an extra 1,000 meters, haha!"
While people were talking, Zhang Guan finally stayed up for thirty minutes and then stopped.
…
A whole bottle of brandy was poured into his stomach, and the anesthetic effect of the alcohol made Sebastian lean on the sofa and fall asleep.
"First of all, I want to thank Mr. Sebastian, the chairman of the IAAF and the chairman of the British Olympic Organizing Committee." Zhang Guan's voice sounded on the TV. At this time, Zhang Guan was being interviewed by reporters after the game.
Sebastian woke up from his sleep when he heard someone calling his name. He opened his eyes and saw Zhang Guan facing the camera on the TV screen. Later, Sebastian recalled what Zhang Guan had just said.
"Thank me! Here we go again!" Sebastian looked at the TV angrily.
Sebastian thought of what Zhang Guan had said before, after the bicycle road race and the road individual speed race. It was obvious that he was deliberately trying to slap Sebastian in the face. And every time Sebastian recalled Zhang Guan's words, he wanted to go up and beat him up.
Sebastian suddenly remembered that in the two gold medals in road cycling, Zhang Guan was first and the British athlete was second. In the track and field, the same situation was true for the two gold medals produced today. Zhang Guan was the winner in the long jump. In first place, the British player Rutherford came in second; in the 10,000-meter long-distance race, Zhang Guan still won the first place, and the second place was also a British player.
"It must be a coincidence! This must be a coincidence!" Sebastian suddenly had a feeling that all this was arranged by Zhang Guan in advance, and he came here to steal the British team's gold medal on purpose.
"It must be all a coincidence!" Sebastian comforted himself, and then thought in his mind: "I said before that I restricted you from participating in track and field events, so you went to ride a bicycle. This time it's my turn to participate in track and field events. Let’s see what else you have to say!”
"Actually, I was not planning to participate in the 10,000-meter long-distance race. After all, I am an athlete from the 100-meter dash event, so I should participate in sprints. But the IAAF restricted my participation in track and field competitions..." Zhang Guan said.
"This has nothing to do with your participation in long-distance running! Didn't I leave you three track and field events? You can choose 100 meters and 200 meters! You can run in the middle! Why do you have to run long-distance running? What nonsense? Fuck me!" Sebastian growled at the TV.
Just listen to Zhang Guan continue to say: "The IAAF has restricted my participation in track and field competitions, so I can only sign up for other events, such as cycling, boxing, and triathlon. These events conflict with the sprint competition time. So I can only choose to participate in long-distance running events! This is why I am grateful to Mr. Sebastian, President of the IAAF. If he had not restricted my participation in track and field events, I would not have had a schedule conflict. If I can’t compete in long-distance running, I certainly can’t win this gold medal.”
In front of the TV, Sebastian's expression began to twitch, and then he cursed a British curse:
"F@@@! This can all be brought to my head?"
