Johnny Brownlee, the younger brother of the Brownlee brothers, put on his running shoes and started running out of the transition area, only to find that the body of his brother Alistair Brownlee beside him had already started.
"Alistair was one second faster than me again! I lost to him again this time." Brownlee took a breath angrily, but then he discovered that Zhang Guan was still in front of the two brothers.
"Follow me!" The two brothers ran towards Zhang Guan without hesitation.
For the Brownlee brothers, the final 10 kilometers is their strongest point. Their father is a long-distance runner. The two brothers not only inherited their father's excellent genes, but also started physical exercise at a very young age. The most basic physical exercise is long-distance running. Therefore, their long-distance running experience is richer than that of many professional long-distance runners.
What's more, in today's competition, the British team's player Hayes led the Brownlee brothers during the bicycle ride, so the two of them still maintained good physical strength. In the final 10 kilometers of long-distance running, they were faster than other players. There are advantages.
"The last 10-kilometer long-distance running is what I am best at. Today I will try to run within 29 minutes!" Big Brown thought to himself.
In the triathlon, 10 kilometers is run in 29 minutes, which is definitely the top speed in the world, enough to put any triathlete out of reach. For many Asian athletes, it takes 30 minutes for them to run 10 kilometers at full strength. If they can run for 29 minutes, they are the best in Asia.
After a 1.5-kilometer swim and a 40-kilometer ride, Big Brownlee ran another 10,000 meters, and the result was still 29 minutes. This kind of strength can really be called "terrifying", so Big Brownley The title of world’s number one triathlete is definitely well deserved.
The players in the leading group ran out of the transition area one after another. At this time, their movement rhythm seemed a bit chaotic. After all, they had just finished riding and had sprinted for several kilometers. Their bodies had not fully adapted yet, so the players needed a short break. The adjustment process allows the body to enter the state of long-distance running from the state of cycling.
"Zhang Guan's rhythm seems to be very good!" Brownlee glanced at Zhang Guan and realized that Zhang Guan had already entered the rhythm of long-distance running.
"As expected of a track and field athlete, he has just run out of the transition zone and has already entered a rhythm. His rhythm is so good, I can follow him first and slowly adjust my own rhythm." Thinking of this, Big Brownley followed directly Behind Zhang Guan.
Little Brownlee saw through his brother's thoughts instantly, and he made the same decision as Big Brownlee and chose to follow.
In the Olympic Games, those who can be in the leading group must be experienced athletes. At this time, everyone has noticed that Zhang Guan's movement rhythm is very good, so they all choose to follow Zhang Guan, usually running. , while adjusting your own rhythm to allow your body to integrate into the state of long-distance running as soon as possible.
As for Zhang Guan, he has already used the "fixed speed running" skill, and his speed is also constant, so from the outside, the rhythm is of course very good.
…
After five or six hundred meters, Brownlee's body had adjusted and began to adapt to the rhythm of long-distance running. At this time, Brownlee finally began to pay attention to Zhang Guan in front of him.
"Zhang Guan's speed is really not slow! No, not only is it not slow, it can be regarded as relatively fast! Is he also very physically strong? If it were me, at this stage, the fastest he can run is this Let’s pick up the speed!” Brownlee hesitated for a moment, thinking it would be safer to continue running.
However, at the back, some of the other players couldn't keep up. Big Brownlee is a triathlon genius. He was able to participate in youth competitions when he was in the youth group. He is the kind of strongman who can leapfrog his opponents and kill them. As for triathletes, not everyone can be as perverted as Brownlee, and not everyone is as good at long-distance running as Brownlee.
At the beginning, everyone was still adjusting and the situation was better. However, after 3 kilometers, some runners could not keep up with the pace of the competition.
In the Olympic triathlon competition, the vast majority of competitors take more than 30 minutes to run a 10-kilometer long-distance race. Even some first-class athletes will take more than 31 minutes if they are not in good condition. As for soy sauce runners, the last 10 kilometers It is normal to spend more than 33 minutes. After all, the intensity of competition in the Olympic Games is the highest. It is normal for less powerful athletes to consume too much energy in the first two items and the subsequent 10-kilometer long run to be slower.
So after 3 kilometers, some people in the leading group began to fall behind. For example, French player Louis was still in fourth place at the end of the cycling event, but now he has been left behind by the leading group.
At 3.5 kilometers, Italian star Fabian began to fall behind.
At 4 kilometers, Portuguese player Silva could not keep up with Swiss Ridler in front.
At 4.3 kilometers, Swiss star Ridler was also left behind by the leading group.
Russian star Brukhankov, German star Frodero, French star Vidal and Haus, these are all the world's top players. They were once considered promising to win a medal, but now, they are no longer able to follow them. The rhythm of the crown.
At 5 kilometers, there were only three runners left behind Zhang Guan. Alistair Brownlee, Johnny Brownlee, and Spanish star Noah. These three happened to be the top three players in the world and were hailed as possible gold medal players before the competition.
It is not surprising that the three Brownlee brothers and Noah are in the lead. It can even be said to be something that has been expected before the game. However, when it comes to the actual game, there is one more person in the leading group.
That is Zhang Guan!
He is still the front runner in first place!
…
At 6 kilometers, Brownlee's speed began to slow down.
"I can't keep up! I really can't keep up." Little Brownlee watched the three people in front of him gradually move away, with a trace of unwillingness in his eyes.
"I lost to my brother again! He is still stronger than me!"
At 7 kilometers, the Spaniard Noah had already opened his mouth and sucked in big breaths. The soreness in the muscles of his calves made every step he took a torment of will.
"No, I can't keep up! Damn it, Zhang Guan is leading the race too fast. It has just passed 7 kilometers, but I feel even more tired than if I had finished the whole race!"
Noah didn't want to slow down, but his body was no longer under the control of his will, and he slowed down involuntarily.
"Big Brown can actually keep up! He is indeed a super genius in triathlon! His strength has surpassed mine!"
Noah didn't know that Big Brownlee was also following very hard at this time.
"There is no rabbit in triathlon, why are you running so fast! I can hardly keep up!" Brownlee was secretly surprised. Since 2010, Big Brownlee has never been in a situation where he couldn't keep up even if he was running.
"I'm so sore, my muscles are so sore! I can't use my strength anymore." Brownlee looked at Zhang Guan in front of him, and then thought: "Don't you know how to slow down the whole way? It's almost 8 kilometers, and you still can't use it anymore." Don’t you know you’re tired from running so fast?”
The next second, Big Brownlee's pace took a slightly smaller step, but this small step caused a chain reaction. Big Brownlee's pace became slower and slower, and he could no longer keep up with Zhang Guan. rhythm.
This is the physiological limit of the body, which Big Brownlee cannot overcome.
"I can't keep up, and I can't keep up! Am I going to lose? Do I really want to lose? And I'm losing to Zhang Guan!" Brownlee couldn't believe the result.
Brownlee was more able to accept losing to his younger brother. After all, the two brothers grew up playing and fighting, so naturally they would win and lose.
Brownlee could barely accept losing to Spanish player Noah. After all, Noah was the senior. Before the rise of the Brownlee brothers, Noah was the strongest triathlete in the world. Four or five years ago, Big Brownlee also often lost to Noah.
However, today, Big Brownlee has to lose to Zhang Guan, an opponent he has encountered for the first time, and it is still at his home court, at the London Olympics! This result seemed to be a bombshell, which directly shattered Brownlee's belief.
For Brownlee, a gold medal that he is determined to win is about to fly away.
Looking at Zhang Guan getting further and further away, Big Brownley could no longer calm down.
"Zhang Guan is still so fast. This has completely surpassed the speed of a triathlon. Running so fast, does he think he is the king of long-distance running? Farah!" Brownlee complained in his heart, but the next moment, he suddenly I remembered that just a few days ago, the "king of long-distance running" Farah also lost to Zhang Guan.
"How could I forget this? Just a few days ago, Zhang Guan just broke the 10,000-meter world record! Farah was defeated by Zhang Guan. Damn it, the 10,000-meter world record holder , how did he get into triathlon!"
…
At the finish line, the audience eagerly awaited the arrival of the champion.
Finally, a black spot appeared at the end of the horizon, and the audience at the finish line began to cheer subconsciously.
"Is it Brownlee? Is it the elder brother or the younger brother?"
"Brother is more likely. After all, Alistair is just a little bit more powerful than Johnny."
"It would be even better if the Brownlee brothers could take the top two places and stand on the podium at the same time. We British could only do this at the beginning of the last century!"
“I haven’t seen the second person yet, but it looks like the first one has a huge lead!”
"It doesn't look like Brownlee is here! The British team is wearing blue and black sportswear, and the person in front is wearing red sportswear! That's not our British player!"
With this shout, the crowd quickly fell silent.
"Who is it? Who defeated the Brownlee brothers and ran first!" A middle-aged man shouted in despair.
Next to him, a young man raised his telescope, and he immediately answered the middle-aged man's question.
"It's Zhang Guan! That person is Zhang Guan!"
"Zhang Guan again? In the bicycle ride just now, Zhang Guan was in the lead. Now in the 10-kilometer long-distance race, Zhang Guan is still in the lead? Where are the Brownlee brothers? Alistair! Johnny! Where are they?"
Perhaps the gap was too big. When people saw Zhang Guan's appearance clearly, they still didn't see the Brownlee brothers.
On both sides of the road, the spectators no longer continued to wave the British flag. They watched Zhang Guan rush towards the finish line, with confused expressions on their faces. They could not believe what they were seeing.
The triathlon gold medal, a gold medal thought to be Britain's default, is now about to be lost.
Zhang Guan is already very close to the gold medal, but the Brownlee brothers have not yet appeared in everyone's field of vision. At this time, even if Zhang Guan walks or even climbs, he will definitely win the championship.
"We lost! In the triathlon, we are actually going to lose!"
"Why? The Brownlee brothers are so powerful, doesn't it mean they will definitely win a gold medal? Why did they lose?"
At this moment, on both sides of the road in front of the finish line, some British people could not help but start crying.
At the same time, Zhang Guan raised his arms and crossed the finish line.
In the men's triathlon final, Zhang Guan won another gold!
