Chapter 498: The Invincible Zhang Guan

For the audience at the scene, as well as countless ordinary viewers in front of the TV, Zhang Guan broke a world record, which is indeed something worth celebrating. The excellent record of a world record, so many people think that it is a matter of course that Zhang Guan broke a world record again.

However, for professionals in the sports world, especially the coaches from various countries on the scene, Zhang Guan did another incredible thing.

Although the world record of 1500 meters does not attract as much attention as the world record of 100 meters, it is still an insurmountable gap for athletes, because the person who created this world record is the former "king of middle and long distance running" Queiroy.

In the track and field events of modern sports, no one can have such a stable dominance in the 1500-meter event as Guerroy. When you open the men's 1500m page on the IAAF website, you will find that a person named "Hicham-El-Guerrouj" swipes the screen, seven of the world's best eight results belong to him, and the top 50 results Most of it is his. This point, whether it is Carl Lewis, Mike Johnson, John Powell, or even Jeremy Variner, Asafa Powell, or even Bolt, who is known as the most talented, cannot To do what Gueroi did, none of them has the kind of dominance that Gueroi has in the 1500-meter event. In the past eight years, 81 world championships have been won in 84 international competitions. No one can break this record.

When people mention a certain top athlete, they can't help but compare him with other athletes, such as the 100-meter sprint event. In the 1990s, people would compare Lewis and Burrell. People have also refreshed the world record twice; in the 21st century, people will mention Asafa Powell and Justin Gatlin; and then there will be one more Bolt, even in the future Brazil Olympic Games , there are still people asking who is stronger between Bolt and his compatriot Blake.

The same is true of other track and field events, but in the 1500m event, when people mention Guerroy, they can't find any athlete who can compare with him, because no one has the amazing dominance of Guerroy. force.

Although the 1500-meter world record of 3 minutes and 26 seconds held by Guerroy is not as well-known as the world record for the 100-meter sprint, although it is not as hopeless as the world record for the long jump or the world record for the triple jump, it is definitely the best. A world record that is not disputed is also a world record that people take for granted.

Today, however, this world record was broken by Zhang Guan. He surpassed Que Roy. This feeling seemed to kick a god admired by thousands of people off the altar.

"My God, Zhang Guan broke the world record of 1500 meters? And he raised the world record by a whole second, that's one second!"

"How did he do it? The world record of 1,500 meters has been maintained for ten years, and 3 minutes and 26 seconds is considered the limit of a human being. Even the holder of this result, Guerroy, admitted that he could not be in the Created a better result, but Zhang Guan did it! He ran a better result!"

"As the world record holder in the 100m, he was able to break the world record in the long jump, which I can understand. After all, sprinting and long jump have a lot in common, but he was able to break the world record in the 1,500m. Tan? There is no similarity between 100 meters and 1500 meters, and even the physical requirements are completely opposite to each other. He was able to break these two world records at the same time! This... This is beyond my imagination!"

"3 minutes and 25 seconds, I read it right!" A coach rubbed his eyes, then looked at the overall scoreboard, his face froze instantly, and then he pointed to the scoreboard and shouted, "Look, Ramzi's results came out, and Ramzi also ran within 3 minutes and 26 seconds!"

On the electronic timer on the sidelines, under Zhang Guan's 3 minutes and 25 seconds, the second place Ramzi's score appeared.

At 3:25.99, Ramzi also ran within 3:26. Although it was only 0.01 seconds faster than 3:26, Ramzi also surpassed Guerroy's world record.

...

After crossing the finish line, Ramzi knelt down on the ground. He felt extremely tired, not only physically, but also psychologically.

"I lost, I lost in the end!" Tears rolled out of Ramzi's eyes, he really wanted to find a place where no one was around, and cry quietly.

For this game, for this Olympic gold medal, he made so much effort, he even gave up his dignity, and in the game, he once thought he could win, but in the end, he still lost , lost at the final sprint moment.

Ramzi felt that everything in front of him seemed to be in a dream, so unreal. This is a nightmare, he hopes to wake up from this dream as soon as possible, he hopes to return to reality as soon as possible.

However, this is reality, and Ramzi immediately realized this, and he also understood that his dream of being an Olympic champion was once again shattered.

His heart is full of unwillingness, because he made too many comebacks for this Olympic gold medal; his heart is full of anger, he is angry for losing the gold medal; I hope this has not happened yet, so that he can go back three and a half minutes ago and start again. He thinks that if he starts again, he will do better and he can win the championship.

Finally, Ramzi raised his head, and then he got up from the ground, he knew that this was reality, he accepted it all, he had to stand up and face failure.

Ramzi subconsciously looked at the electronic display on the sidelines. He wanted to see what his final score was, and he even wanted to know what Zhang Guan's final score was. He found his name right away, and also saw the results behind his name.

"3:25.99, I broke Guerroy's world record!" Ramz stayed on the spot. Although he knew that he was fast in the game, he didn't expect that he could surpass Guerroy.

For Ramzi, who was born in Morocco, Guerroy is undoubtedly his idol. He has dreamed more than once that he can surpass Guerroy and stand at the top of the world class. At this time, when he found that he had surpassed Guerroy, there was a kind of excitement and excitement in his heart.

Ramz did surpass Guerroy by 0.01 seconds, but he did not stand on the top of the world.

"I overtook Gueroi... No, Zhang Guan is faster than me. I can already run within 3 minutes and 26 seconds. If Zhang Guan, what will his score be?" Ramzi found Zhang Guan's name, and then saw his results.

"It's... 3 minutes and 25 seconds!" Ramzi's expression became dull again.

At this moment, all the unwillingness, anger, and regret in Ramzi's heart disappeared without a trace, and all that was left was deep confusion.

"Zhang Guan ran for 3 minutes and 25 seconds! He was one full second faster than Guerroy! No wonder I lost, it turns out that he can run so fast. But how can I beat him with Zhang Guan like this? Ramzi took another subconscious step back, a manifestation of his subconscious fear.

Ramzi knew that he was able to run such a result by using prohibited drugs, and if it was true strength, it would be impossible for Ramzi to run within 3 minutes and 26 seconds. At the same time, Ramzi also knew that Zhang Guan's time of 3 minutes and 25 seconds was his true strength, because Zhang Guan had won three gold medals and passed three urine tests before, so it was impossible to use illegal drugs.

"Is Zhang Guan really so strong? Even if I use stimulants, I am not his opponent. Zhang Guan like this makes me feel desperate! Maybe he is really invincible!"

Thinking of this, Ramzi suddenly felt incomparably crying. He suddenly felt that he was born in the wrong era, because in this era, there was an opponent he could never defeat.

...

On the sidelines, Ramzi's coach also has this idea.

"3:25.99, Ramzi has already run within 3:26. In this game, it's not that Ramzi's speed is not fast enough, but that Zhang Guan is too fast!" The coach took a deep breath, and he looked at Zhang Guan. Crown, a wave of fear also rose in my heart.

"Ramzi used erythropoietin, and the dosage was very large, but even in this case, he couldn't beat Zhang Guan. This Chinese is really terrible. Perhaps for athletes, he was born with Zhang Guan. In the same era, it is really a kind of sadness..."

In the next second, a feeling of fear suddenly rose in the coach's heart.

"For this gold medal, Ramzi increased the dosage of erythropoietin. Although I don't know how the Chinese people's biotechnology testing level is, since it can pass the certification of the International Olympic Committee, it must be a real talent. Yes, and the International Anti-Doping Organization will also give China some help. If the erythropoietin used by Ramzi is detected, what should I do? If I knew this, I should not let Ramzi continue to use it recently. erythropoietin."

In the view of this coach, Ramzi used doping in order to win a gold medal in the Olympics. For the first Olympic gold medal in Bahrain's history, it is worth fighting for. But now the gold medal has not been won, and Ramzi has only won a silver medal. If he is found to be doping, Ramzi will not only be deprived of this silver medal, but will probably ruin his subsequent career. All in all, the use of doping is really not worth it.

Among the twelve contestants, apart from Zhang Guan, none of them were Ramz's opponents, so even if Ramz didn't use doping, he could still win a silver medal. So judging from the current results, the use of doping was not only useless, but even brought huge risks to Ramzi.

Thinking of this, nervous sweat rolled down the coach's forehead. He prayed silently in his heart, hoping that Ramzi would not be tested for doping, and that Ramzi could keep this Olympic silver medal.

...

Inside and outside the arena, many foreign spectators who watched the game started talking.

"Oh, what a pity for Ramzi, this is a quasi-world record! If there is no Zhang Guan, Ramzi will break the world record. But the current situation is that Zhang Guan took the lead in running the time of 3 minutes and 25 seconds result, so it is impossible for Ramzi's result to be recognized as a world record." Someone said regretfully.

"It can't be said that if there is no Zhang Guan, Ramzi may not be able to sprint so fast at the end, and he will not be able to run within 3 minutes and 26 seconds. It is precisely because Zhang Guan is constantly Putting pressure on Ramzi will allow Ramzi to have the current good results." Someone immediately retorted.

"Do you feel that this scene seems familiar! I remember that in the final of the 100-meter sprint a few days ago, it seemed to be like this. Bolt also ran a result that exceeded the world record, but Zhang Guan was faster. As a result, although Bolt exceeded the world record, his achievement cannot be recognized as a new world record." Someone said.

"That's right, when you said that, I remembered that there is such a thing! Today's 1500-meter final seems to be a repeat of history! And this also reflects the strength of Zhang Guan."

"That's right, this situation twice in a row is really too dramatic. Did Zhang Guan think it would be too easy to directly win the championship or break the world record, so he wants to defeat an opponent who is also capable of breaking the world record? ?”

"Zhang Guan can break the world record in the 100m and 1500m events, but what about those events in the middle? Does Zhang Guan also have the ability to break the world record in the 200m, 400m, and 800m? Can I get three more gold medals?" Someone asked.

"He has won four gold medals now. If he gets three more, wouldn't that be seven gold medals? Seven gold medals in one Olympic Games! It's incredible!" Someone exclaimed.

"What's incredible? Isn't it just seven gold medals? Don't forget that American Phelps has already won eight gold medals in this Olympic Games! No matter what, Zhang Guan still can't surpass Phelps .” This person obviously doesn’t like Zhang Guan.

"Don't forget that Zhang Guan also has a triple jump event. He can break the world record in the long jump, so his strength in the triple jump event is also not weak. Maybe Zhang Guan will win a gold medal."

"That's eight gold medals, equal to the world record of Phelps' eight gold medals. But people often only remember the person who set the world record, and people only recognize the greatness of the first time..." This person Go on.

"Zhang Guan has two more events! The 4x100m relay race and the basketball game." Someone said immediately.

"Hehehe...are you kidding? In the sprint event, the Chinese team has no second-class athletes except Zhang Guan. The 4x100m is a team event. There are teams from the United States, Jamaica and the United Kingdom. The world's top strong team, even if the Chinese team has Zhang Guan, it is impossible to win the gold medal. If you can get a medal, you are already thankful! As for basketball, besides the American Dream Team, do you think there are other teams? Can the second team win the title?"
