All-round Athlete

Chapter 492

On August 19th, there was no men's basketball game on this day, but the eight teams that were about to participate in the knockout round were all insisting on daily training to prepare for the next day's knockout round.

And Zhang Guan will participate in three events today, namely the men's 200m semi-final, the men's 400m semi-final and the men's 1500m final. The competitions of these three events were all held in the evening, and the start time of the earliest men's 200m semi-final had already reached 9:30 in the evening.

The men's 200-meter competition has reached the semi-final stage, and the rest are strong players, and many of them are full-time 200-meter athletes, such as Spearman from the United States, Dez Gay from Zimbabwe, and the Dutch team. Martina of Les, they are all athletes who specialize in 200 meters.

There are also some players whose main event is the 200-meter sprint. The two favorites to win the championship, Bolt of Jamaica and Sean Crawford of the United States, are both athletes of the main event of 200 meters.

According to the predictions of experts before the competition, in today's situation where sports events are becoming more and more specialized, the kind of athletes whose main event is the 100-meter sprint and the 200-meter sprint is basically unable to enter the Olympic Games final.

Of course Zhang Guan is an exception. Zhang Guan, who showed amazing form in the long jump yesterday, has been re-regarded as the favorite to win the 200-meter dash. The most popular player in the 200-meter sprint event in the previous Olympic Games was naturally Bolt. This was not because Bolt was better than Zhang Guan, but because people generally questioned Zhang Guan's competitive status.

But since Zhang Guan jumped 9 meters in the long jump final yesterday, all doubts disappeared without a trace. If Zhang Guan is not in good condition, how can it be possible to jump 9 meters, which is beyond the limit of human beings?

The astonishing performance in the long jump field also made everyone have more expectations for Zhang Guan in the middle and sprint events, especially the sprint event, which is Zhang Guan's "old line". The domestic audience is obviously looking forward to Zhang Guan Won a gold medal in the sprint event.

A total of 16 contestants participated in the 200-meter semi-final, so they were divided into two groups. The top three in each group plus the other two with the best results can advance to the final. Therefore, Zhang Guan must have no pressure to advance. .

This time, Zhang Guan was assigned to play in the first group. He was also in the same group as Martina from the Netherlands Antilles, Dez Gay from Zimbabwe, Dix from the United States, and Williams from Jamaica. , These players are more likely to advance to the finals, while the other players in the same group are somewhat lacking in strength, and it is estimated that they will stop at the semi-finals.

Although it was the semi-finals, when Zhang Guan appeared on the stage, the audience still gave the warmest applause, and Zhang Guan did not disappoint them, leading all the way after the gunfire sounded.

"Zhang Guan, he's very fast, and he's already ahead! He's about to enter the straight track, and Zhang Guan's lead is obvious! Alright, Zhang Guan is the first to enter the straight track!"

On the field, Zhang Guan was the first to run into the straight track area, and then began to sprint. As for the straight sprint, Zhang Guan, as a 100-meter runner, was obviously much better than these professional 200-meter runners. getting bigger.

On the sidelines of the arena, several players who were about to appear in the next group felt tremendous pressure.

"Zhang Guan is still so fast. Some people said that he is not in good condition! He broke the world record in the 100-meter sprint and the long jump. How could he not be in good condition? Maybe tomorrow, I will lose again. Give it to him!" Olympic 200m defending champion Crawford thought silently.

For Crawford, he has been defeated by Zhang Guan many times in the past few years, especially after Zhang Guan broke the 200-meter world record, Crawford has no hope of defeating Zhang Guan. Desire, he has habitually lost to Zhang Guan.

Standing next to Crawford, Spearman is not as strong as Crawford, and he doesn't have much hope for the Olympic champion.

There was only one person, facing Zhang Guan who was in such an overwhelmed state, there was still a strong fighting spirit in his eyes.

That's Bolt!

At this time, Bolt clenched his fists tightly, and his arms were even trembling uncontrollably. And the scene of Zhang Guan breaking the 200-meter world record two years ago emerged in his mind.

"The strongest Zhang Guan has come back! The scene when you broke the 200-meter world record is still fresh in my memory. At that time, your time to break the world record seems to be 19.30 seconds, but now I can run Faster than this! I will be faster than you." Bolt couldn't bear it anymore, and he was looking forward to the final even more in his heart.

On the field, Zhang Guan crossed the finish line with the first place in the group without any suspense. The second place in the group was won by Martina of the Netherlands Antilles, and the famous Zimbabwean player Dez Gay won the third place in the group, while the fourth place American Dix can only wait for the end of the semi-finals to get an extra Two places.

Then in the second group competition, Bolt easily qualified first in the group, and the two American players Crawford and Spearman won the second and third respectively. The two players with the best results were then selected, and Dix and Kim Collins became the two lucky ones.

...

After the 200-meter semi-finals, the 400-meter sprint semi-finals will be held immediately, and Zhang Guan still has to appear.

A total of 24 contestants participated in the 400-meter semi-final, and the competition was divided into three groups. 24 runners-in-8 had to eliminate 16 runners, which was obviously more intense than the 200-meter race of 16 runner-ups. The 400-meter promotion rule is that the top two in each group and the two with the best extra scores can advance to the final.

In the first group of competitions, the famous American player Wariner and the Bahamian player Brown won the first and second places respectively, and successfully advanced. Besides the two of them, there was indeed no third strong player in this group.

In the second group, the famous French player DeJong took the first place, and the young American player Merritt won the second place, which was the same as the result that everyone guessed before the game.

Zhang Guan appeared in the third group, which is also the most intense group. In addition to Zhang Guan, there are British star Ronnie, Swedish star Weisman and American player Neville. There must be a clear gap between these three people and Zhang Guan, so when Zhang Guan pre-booked the next promotion place, these three people will compete for another promotion place.

The competition in this group was indeed extremely fierce. Of course Zhang Guan was the first in the group, while the famous British player Ronnie won the second place. However, the Swedish Weisman and the American Neville were also lucky. With the extra two places for the best results, they also advanced to the 400-meter final the day after tomorrow.
