All-round Athlete

Chapter 128 The King of Track and Field: The Only All-Winner

At this moment, Lebedeva seemed a little impatient in her heart. Zhang Guan had already won the game, which means that even if Lebedeva won, she would have lost a bonus of 250,000 US dollars. Not every star player in the sports world is a billionaire like Zhang Guan, and $250,000 is a big loss for Lebedeva.

What made Lebedeva even more depressed was that the Sudanese Aldama jumped 14.82 meters and surpassed Lebedeva in one fell swoop, ranking first. Lebedeva did not expect that her old opponent Smith did not cause trouble to herself, but this Aldama became an obstacle on her way to winning the championship.

The Sudanese Aldama once won the fifth place in the women's triple jump in the Athens Olympics, but according to Lebedeva's strength, 14.82 meters is not a difficult result to surpass.

Lebedeva stood on the run-up area again, she held her breath and started the run-up.

landing! Lebedeva stepped out of the sand pool immediately, and then looked back. The jump did not exceed 15 meters, not even 14.90 meters.

"It should be able to surpass Aldama's 14.82 meters!" Lebedeva prayed silently in her heart.

Lebedeva scored 14.85 meters in this jump, and Lebedeva once again became the first.

The audience cheered again, but this cheer seemed to be reserved. There are still two jumps before the end of the game, and no one knows what will happen next.

In the fifth jump, Aldama was the penultimate player, but failed to score due to a foul, and Lebedeva also failed to break through her 14.85-meter score.

The score of 14.85 meters is not a very good score in the top competitions, but from the current point of view, I am afraid that it is difficult for athletes to surpass Zhang Guan's score. As long as Lebedeva survives the last jump, she can share the US$500,000 prize with Zhang Guan equally.

However, it was this last jump that happened again unexpectedly. The unknown Greek player Devitz jumped out of 14.89 meters in one fell swoop!

Of course, there are no real unknowns who can participate in the Golden League. Devitz has also won the runner-up in the women's triple jump in the Athens Olympics, but compared to other players, Devitz's results are a bit thin, and his reputation is far less than that of Lai. Bedeva. But at this moment, only the last jump is left, and the score of 14.89 seconds is tantamount to a lore!

The audience instantly boiled over. Everyone did not expect that there would be a big reversal in this last jump, but more people were cheering for Lebedeva. They hoped that Lebedeva could surpass in the last jump. Then win the championship, this is definitely everyone's favorite script to see.

At this moment, Lebedeva's mentality has undergone some changes. Starting from the Paris station of the Golden League, there were a total of six games. The whole process lasted for more than two months. Lebedeva won all the first five games. Work hard, and today's last jump is a jump worth 250,000 US dollars. As long as she surpasses Devitz, she can share the million prize with Zhang Guan. If she can't surpass Devitz, she will only have 250,000 US dollars left bonus.

The audience, coaches, and athletes all focused their attention on Lebedeva, and the camera captured Zhang Guan's expression just right.

At this time, Zhang Guan looked very calm. To be honest, Zhang Guan is rich, and although 250,000 US dollars is not a small bonus for him, Zhang Guan will not be distressed by 250,000 US dollars. What Zhang Guan really cares about is not the bonus, but the honor. If possible, Zhang Guan would not even want Lebedeva to take away the 250,000 bonus. It would be a very honorable thing to receive the million-dollar prize alone. But this year's Lebedeva is indeed very strong, worthy of the title of long jump queen.

Lebedeva is still preparing and adjusting her status silently, but the referee next to her did not urge her. The referee also knows how critical this jump is, and they are willing to give Lebedeva more time to prepare.

However, the audience at the scene quit. They were already waiting very anxiously, and they were eager to know the result of the battle for the million-dollar prize. As a result, the atmosphere in the field gradually changed. There were already some boos during the malfunction cheers, but fortunately there were no football hooligans among the people present, otherwise the mineral water bottle would have been thrown into the field.

The boos made Lebedeva even more irritable. She felt that she needed more time to adjust her emotions, but at the same time she also knew that if she stood like this again, there would be more and more boos.

"It would be great if there was another jump, I can adjust it again! But it's only 14.89 meters!" Lebedeva's eyes were full of determination. She took a deep breath, started to run up, and then took off.

"Woo..." The audience made a curious sound, and then they saw that Lebedeva fell near the 15-meter line, but she still did not exceed 15 meters. However, it is almost the same as the previous distance of 14.89 meters for Devitz.

"It doesn't seem to exceed 14.9 meters, but as long as the results are the same, I will win in the end!" Lebedeva's heart was already hanging, waiting for the referee to announce the final result.

In the long jump competition, if the athletes have the same results and it involves the first place competition, the second best result of the athletes will be compared. Lebedeva's second best result is 14.85 meters, which is the second best result so far. So if Lebedeva and Devitz have the same results, Lebedeva will win in the end.

"14.87 meters!" The referee's voice sounded, and Lebedeva was two centimeters away from the champion!

"Oh, what a pity, Lebedeva failed to win the championship in the end! We also congratulate Zhang Guan, who became the only athlete who won all six games in this Golden League!"

...

On the high platform in the center of the arena is a wooden box with the logo of the IAAF Gold League in white on a black background.

Zhang Guan and Lebedeva opened the box together, and there were five rows of gold bricks inside, with three gold bricks in the top row, and one more brick on each floor below.

"What a big gold brick!" Zhang Guan excitedly picked up one, but felt that the total weight was wrong.

"This gold brick is adulterated." Zhang Guan took the gold brick in his hand and weighed it. Although it feels very strong, it is absolutely impossible to be pure gold. Gold is a very heavy metal. Calculated according to the density of gold, Such a large gold brick should weigh 25 to 30 kilograms, and it will definitely not be so light to lift.

Zhang Guan looked at Lebedeva next to her, who was trying to nibble on a corner of the gold brick, posing for the media. But Zhang Guan didn't do that. It's all fake anyway, so why pretend to bite and verify it.

In 2005, the purchase price fluctuated between US$410 and US$450 per ounce. Based on the median price of US$430 per ounce, about 2,325 ounces of gold can be bought for US$1 million, which is about 66 kilograms in terms of basic mass units. , If it is replaced by a gold bar of 1 kg, it still looks quite shocking when placed together.

In the Golden League before 2003, the athletes were indeed given real gold, but since 2003 it was changed to a million-dollar general, so only some fake gold bricks were prepared as props for the winning athletes to take pictures.

In the process, Zhang Guan also received a system message that the honor of winning all six games in the Golden League brought him an additional 6 skill points. It is also the first time that Zhang Guan has received an additional honorary award.

Afterwards, Lamini Diack of Senegal issued an enlarged check to Zhang Guan, which was from Anyin Bank, and the orange lion looked particularly conspicuous. But in fact, there is no money in it. According to international rules, athletes who win the million dollar award still need to participate in the IAAF World Athletics Finals to get the bonus. Of course, it's just for participating, and you don't need to get any rankings, even if you just climb from the starting point to the finish line, you can get bonuses.

The IAAF World Athletics Finals is the final battle of the Grand Prix, Super Grand Prix and Golden League held by the IAAF every year. After the World Athletics Finals, this year's IAAF regular competitions will all end .

The IAAF World Finals is in Monaco on September 9, five days later. Monaco is located in the south of France, not far from Germany, and can be reached quickly even by land. So Zhang Guan has plenty of time.

...

"How much gold can be worth $750,000? Is it heavy?" Sharapova's voice rang through the phone.

"Where is the gold? It's all fake. In the end, a check was issued." Zhang Guan paused, and then asked, "What about you? How is the US Open?"

"I lost to Clijsters in the semi-finals, and I stopped in the semi-finals again! Among the four Grand Slam events this year, I have already missed the semi-finals for the third time." Sharapova paused, then continued Said: "The game was over yesterday. I was worried that it would affect your game state, so I didn't tell you."

"It's okay, my dear, just come back next year, anyway, you are already ranked number one in the world." Zhang Guanan said steadily.

In the latest WTA ranking announced on August 22, Sharapova successfully climbed to the top and became the world's number one female tennis player.

At this time, Sharapova changed her voice and asked, "When are you going to return to China?"

"Next week! I'll go back after the World Athletics Finals. What's the matter? Do you want me to accompany you?" Zhang Guan continued to ask.

"No, I'm here to accompany you. Did you forget that the China Open is about to start, and the time is September 19." Sharapova said.

"You want to come? That's great!" Zhang Guan felt a little excited. Then he suddenly remembered that Sharapova still had injuries on her body, so he asked, "How are your injuries?"

"The MRI showed muscle strain or inflammation, and I felt a little bit during the US Open. But now I have a rest time of more than ten days, and it should be better!" Sharapova said here, her tone suddenly changed. A little strange, and then said: "There is one thing, I must tell you in advance, I also hope you can have a psychological preparation."

"Could it be that I won the lottery? Impossible! What should I do? It was too sudden! I didn't have any mental preparations at all! No, I took protective measures at the time! It's not right, it seems that I was too excited once and forgot... Zhang Guan's heart suddenly felt as if ten thousand horses were galloping, and he wished he could find a calendar and do the calculations carefully.

"That..." Sharapova continued, and Zhang Guan seemed to be a death row prisoner waiting to be sentenced.

"This China Open, my dad will accompany me..." Sharapova continued.

"I'm going, so it wasn't! I scared the baby to death..." Zhang Guan slumped on the ground.
