August 12, London time, is the last competition day of the London Olympics.
So far, the British delegation has won a total of 19 gold medals, which has not exceeded the 20 mark. In the last Olympic Games, the British delegation also won 19 gold medals, which means that the British team's performance is the same as the previous one. Just like the Olympic Games, there is no progress or regression.
But considering that this is the British team's home game, the situation is completely different. With the advantage of home court, the results have not improved at all, which is tantamount to a regression. This is really embarrassing for the UK.
"At least get one more gold medal! At least let the number of gold medals reach 20."
This is the sentiment of many British people.
Although there is only one difference between 19 gold medals and 20 gold medals, they have completely different meanings to the British. The addition of this gold medal means that the number of gold medals has reached the 20 mark, which means that the British delegation has made progress compared with the previous Olympic Games.
On the last day of the London Olympics, the British also have a chance to win their 20th gold medal, and there's more than one chance.
In the women's modern pentathlon, four of the competitions have ended, and British player Samantha Murray's points have a chance to hit the gold medal.
In the boxing event, in the men's cruiserweight category, the 69kg category, British player Fred Evans entered the finals.
Also in the boxing event, the men's super heavyweight, that is, the 91kg and above category, Anthony Joshua, known as the most promising young boxer in the UK, also reached the final.
Even if only one of the three events won a gold medal, the British Empire could barely save its face.
…
The first news came from the women's modern pentathlon competition. What was held today was the final competition in the shooting and running event. In the end, the Belarusian player won the first place in the shooting and running event, the Lithuanian player won the second place, and the Chinese player won the third place.
In terms of total points, Lithuania's Laola-Assada Usket won the gold medal with a total score of 5,408 points and broke the Olympic record. British player Samantha Murray won the silver medal with 5346 points. The British's hopes of being the first to win gold were dashed.
In the boxing arena, in the men's 69kg category, British player Fred Evans faced Kazakhstan's Serik Sapiev.
Evans won the European Championship last year, so the British had high hopes for him. Many British viewers thought Evans could win the gold medal. However, after the game started, Evans' performance was disappointing. .
In the first round, Evans trailed Sapiev 2-4. In the second round, Evans continued to trail Sapiev 3-6. In just two rounds, Evans fell behind by 5 points.
The British audience is probably the most knowledgeable audience in the world about boxing. At this time, they have already seen that Sapiev's strength is indeed superior to Evans. It is already impossible for Evans to win.
Sure enough, the final total score was 17 to 9. Evans lost to Sapiev and only won a silver medal. And 17 to 9 is basically a relatively large gap in amateur boxing competitions.
"Evans also lost! I'm afraid there is no hope for the 20th gold medal." The surrounding audience seemed a little disappointed.
"The next one is the 81kg final, and the next one is the 91kg and above final. Anthony Joshua will appear then, and we still hope to win the 20th gold medal!"
"Anthony Joshua? That talented boxer? I know him, the winner of the 2009 and 2010 Xia Linji Box Cup, the 2010 and 2011 ABAE Classic champion, the 2011 World Championship champion, in amateur boxing Among them, he is the strongest!"
"Yes, it is said that after the London Olympics, Anthony Joshua will enter professional boxing. He has the confidence to fight professionally, which means that his current level should not be very far from professional boxing. In any case, he is a good candidate. Become a professional player! If a quasi-professional player comes to compete in the Olympics, it is really possible to win the championship!"
"Didn't Klitschko enter the professional level after playing in the Olympics? Anthony Joshua may become the next Klitschko! He can definitely sweep his opponents and win. Our British team The 20th gold medal depends on Anthony Joshua. By the way, who is Anthony Joshua’s opponent?”
"Let me see... what? Zhang Guan! Anthony Joshua's opponent is actually Zhang Guan!"
The scene suddenly became silent. The British audience's confidence in Anthony Joshua also disappeared at this moment.
Anthony Joshua can really be called a quasi-professional boxer, and he is indeed invincible in amateur competitions, but when it comes to real professional boxers, Anthony Joshua is not enough.
Anthony Joshua is indeed a talented boxer. In the eyes of British boxing fans, he may become the next Klitschko. However, this time, the opponent he encountered was the one who knocked out Klitschko. Not to mention the "next" Klitschko in the future, even if Klitschko came in person, he would still be beaten to the ground by Zhang Guan.
"Zhang Guan, why did we meet Zhang Guan again! Can our British team only stop at 19 gold medals?"
…
In the last match of the Olympic boxing competition, Zhang Guan faced Anthony Joshua.
Anthony Joshua was fighting at home, and he had already reached the finals. Of course he didn’t want to lose. Even though he was hit several times by Zhang Guan’s heavy punches in the first round, Anthony Joshua still stood firm. The second round of the competition stage.
So, he fell to the ground now, and he was KO'd by Zhang Guan.
KOing opponents in Olympic games happens from time to time in taekwondo, but it is almost never done in boxing. Because protective gear is worn in Olympic games, especially the protective gear worn on the head, which can effectively protect athletes from fainting due to concussion.
The main part of the ring battle is to attack with the legs. The power of the legs is much stronger than the power of the arms, so it is possible to be KO even if you are wearing protective gear. In boxing matches, especially in the finals, the only one who could KO his opponent was American player Redd KOing Cuban player Duviher at the Atlanta Olympics.
And today, the second KO in the Olympic finals was born. Zhang Guanzai knocked out Anthony Joshua in the second round of the game.
"Anthony Joshua was KOed?"
"Aren't you wearing protective gear? You were beaten unconscious even if you were wearing protective gear. If you weren't wearing protective gear, wouldn't you be beaten to death?"
"Hey, the miracle didn't happen. Anthony still lost to Zhang Guan!"
"I still haven't won the 20th gold medal! The London Olympics may become an eternal pain in the hearts of the British of our generation!"
…
On the TV, Zhang Guan was waving his arms and celebrating his victory.
Sebastian pressed the button on the remote control, turned off the TV, then picked up the box containing personal belongings and walked out of the office.
In the corridor, people were still coming and going, but no one seemed to see him, and almost everyone kept a distance from him.
The elevator came and Sebastian walked in. When the few people who originally wanted to enter the elevator together saw that it was Sebastian, they all pretended to chat, text, read documents, and even Pretending to squat down to tie their shoes, it was obvious that none of these people intended to enter the same elevator as Sebastian.
Before this, Sebastian would encounter the same situation every day, because he was the chairman of the London Olympic Organizing Committee, and his subordinates did not dare to take the same elevator with the big leaders.
But today the situation is completely different. As the saying goes, it makes more sense for Sebastian to leave the London Olympic Organizing Committee in such an embarrassing manner. At this time, he was like a lost dog that was driven out and ran away with its tail between its legs.
No one wants to be around a lost dog!
When the elevator door closed, Sebastian could even feel the fingers and comments from his former colleagues outside.
"A sinner of the British Empire?" Sebastian felt a sense of sadness and annoyance rising from his heart.
At this moment, Sebastian couldn't help but think of Zhang Guan.
Sebastian would never have imagined that a mere athlete could cause such huge harm to him. As the chairman of the British Olympic Organizing Committee and the chairman of the International Association of Athletics Federations, he can be said to be the most powerful person in the world of sports. For him, an ordinary athlete is half as good as an ant. After his birth, he was pulled down from his position as chairman of the London Olympic Organizing Committee by an "ant".
"Zhang Guan! Just wait for me. I am still the chairman of the IAAF. Sooner or later I will take revenge for today!" Sebastian thought fiercely.
…
On August 12, the last day of the London Olympics, in the afternoon, a piece of news quietly appeared.
"Mr. Sebastian, Chairman of the London Olympic Organizing Committee, resigned as Chairman of the London Olympic Organizing Committee today!"
When Zhang Guan saw the news, he had already finished the boxing match and began to prepare for the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games in the evening.
"Sebastian resigned!" Zhang Guan felt refreshed when he saw the news.
As the chairman of the Olympic Organizing Committee, he resigned before the end of the Olympic Games. Anyone can see that Sebastian was ousted. The so-called resignation was just to make the London Olympics appear more respectable. .
Considering that the process of the London Olympics was not so smooth, and there were many scandals, Sebastian's resignation can be interpreted as having more meanings.
At least the French delegation seemed quite excited about the news. Since the diving in the cycling team competition, the French delegation has been in trouble for more than a week. Now, as the chairman of the London Olympic Organizing Committee, Sebastian has resigned, which can be regarded as giving the French team an explanation. The boss of the Olympic Organizing Committee has already stepped down, and the French team has taken it easy and stopped making trouble.
In the UK, Sebastian's resignation can be regarded as calming a certain amount of public anger. At least after this news was released, the crowds protesting in front of the London Olympic Organizing Committee gradually dispersed. Some people even looked like As if the England team had won, they went to the pub to celebrate.
For the London Olympics, Sebastian's resignation can be said to have served multiple purposes. It not only appeased those foreign delegations led by France who were dissatisfied with the London Olympics, but also appeased those in China who were dissatisfied with the results of the British team. people.
Perhaps the only person who was hurt was Sebastian himself, which at least had a great impact on his resignation.
If Sebastian resigns after the London Olympics, then his merits and demerits will be commented by future generations. Once many things become "commentary by future generations", there will be a "dialectical" situation, and it can even be directly Deny the broken parts.
But Sebastian resigned during the London Olympics. This was obviously a resignation taking the blame. "Taking the blame" refers to blaming oneself, which means that Sebastian admitted that he was at fault. Regardless of this, Sebastian resigned during the London Olympics. Neither "dialectics" nor denial can exonerate oneself.
…
At the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games, Sebastian was not seen. The handover of the Olympic flame was also handed over by the Mayor of London to the Chairman of the Rio Olympic Organizing Committee.
However, Zhang Guan knew that all this was not over.
"Diak should have collected enough evidence! Maybe in a few days, he will take action!"
…
September 12, the third day of the closing of the 2012 London Paralympic Games.
The American people had just finished commemorating the tragedy that year, when French C+ TV station, French Sports Network and many other media broke the shocking news. Mr. Sebastian, the former chairman of the London Olympic Committee and the current chairman of the IAAF, Using his position to seek personal benefits for British athletes!
Sebastian is British, and it is normal to be a little biased towards his own country. As long as it is not too out of line, it will not attract serious investigation. However, what the French media revealed this time was a very outrageous behavior.
Sebastian helps British athletes dope!
Doping is always a taboo in sports and an unavoidable topic in competitive sports. This issue not only involves fair play, but also involves the ethics of athletes.
Information provided by the French media shows that as long as British athletes apply for doping exemption, the pass rate is 100%, while the pass rate for athletes from other countries is less than 10%!
As soon as the news came out, the Russian Athletics Federation immediately jumped out. The number of Russian track and field athletes is second only to the United States, and the strength of track and field is also second only to the United States. More than 200 athletes apply for doping exemptions every year, but not even ten of them are approved. The Russian Athletics Federation has long complained about this.
Subsequently, athletics federations from some African countries, Caribbean countries, Latin American countries and even Asian countries also stood up and expressed their support for a thorough investigation of this matter.
Track and field is an event that is greatly affected by doping. Half of the athletes found to have used doping are track and field athletes. However, in this "doping exemption" incident, only the United Kingdom, the United States, and Australia really benefited.
As for athletes from other countries, why can athletes from the UK, the U.S. and Australia use doping legally, while we are half-dead from training but can't make any progress! If stimulants are to be used, everyone should use them together.
What's more important is that Diack, the former president of the IAAF, has been secretly fueling the situation. He has been using his own power to target Sebastian.
The enemy within is always the most terrifying.
A week later, someone within the IAAF finally proposed impeaching Chairman Sebastian!
Sebastian's end is finally coming.
