Almighty Athlete Chapter 17: Promotion and elimination

　　In China, the TV station did not broadcast this 100-meter sprint race. At the same time as this game, the table tennis women's singles project is in the semi-finals. National hand Zhang Yining is playing against South Korea's "world's first chopper" Jin Jing'e. Needless to say, the status and popularity of table tennis in the country, compared with a track and field preliminary match, the TV station naturally chose to broadcast the game of table tennis.

　　 The Japanese TV station broadcast the group stage of the Olympic 100-meter sprint.

　　 Japan's track and field atmosphere has always been relatively strong, and this time the three players of the Japanese team have great hopes to enter the next round, so the Japanese TV station chose to broadcast the 100-meter sprint group stage.

　　 The last part of the first group's appearance, Shingo, has been successfully promoted, the fifth group's Tujiang Kuanyu is in a pending state, and the sixth group's Asahara Xuanji, as a veteran, is also quite expected by the Japanese audience.

　　 On the TV screen, Asahara Xuanzhi and the Polish Lucas Zira are running side by side, while the commentators are also passionately explaining the game.

　　 "Chaoyuan Xuanzhi and Zira are in no particular order, Zhaoyuan Jun, come on! Come on! Come on! Now almost at the same time, oh, no! It is Zhao Yuanjun leading. Must be Zhao Yuanjun in front!"

　　With the commentary’s voice, the shot of the red line appeared on the hall test screen again. Although the difference between Asahara Xuanzhi and Zira is not big, it can be distinguished if you look carefully with the naked eye. Crossing the finish line.

　　 "Congratulations to Asahara, he won the second place, and successfully entered the second round of the rematch, his score was 10.33 seconds! Polish player Lucas Zila ranked third with a gap of 0.02 seconds . And the first place in this group is the Chinese player Zhang Guan, his score is... 9.96 seconds! A new Asian record is born!"

　　The voice of the commentator suddenly became excited: "9.96 seconds, this is the best result in the group stage and a new Asian record! The previous Asian record was 9.98 seconds, which was also created by Zhang Guan players, and today, He improved this score by 0.02 seconds! According to the information in my hand, this is the third time he has run within 10 seconds this year! He is well-deservedly the first flying man in Asia!"

　　 At this time, the shots of Olympic broadcasters were all aimed at Zhang Guan, and the score of 9.96 seconds was also marked at the bottom of the screen, which is a new Asian record.

　　 The message of breaking the Asian record flashed on the big screen in the stadium, and there was a short round of applause. Although Europeans are not interested in Asian records, any new record is worthy of respect. The audience still Give some encouraging applause.

　　 "How to break the Asian record again!" Yu guide looks a little trance, as if forgetting to celebrate.

　　 When I was in the Philippines last year, Zhang Guan broke the Asian record, and I did not fall asleep for several days when I was excited; at the National Athletics Grand Prix half a month ago, Zhang Guan broke the Asian record again. He didn't close his eyes; and today, Yu Gui suddenly discovered that he seemed less excited than before.

　　The next moment, Yu Gui suddenly understood why he didn’t feel that excitement.

　　 "9.96, the new Asian record, but unfortunately, this is the Olympics, but the 9.96 second result can't even get a medal." Yu Gui smiled self-deprecatingly, thinking secretly: "I'm too greedy It’s good to be able to enter the second round and break the Asian record. How dare you hope for a medal!"

　　......

　　Since the domestic TV station did not broadcast the game, the reporter stationed in Athens by the TV station has been on the scene. Zhang Guan just entered the rest area and the reporter ran over.

　　 "Zhang Guan, first of all congratulations on entering the second round and completing the historic breakthrough. How are you feeling now?"

　　 "I feel pretty good." Zhang Guan said with a smile.

　　 "The result of 9 seconds and 96 has once again set a new Asian record of your own. Are you satisfied with this result?" The reporter then asked.

　　 "After all, the opponents in the first round are not very strong. There is no need to run too fast."

　　 "So you still have reservations?" The reporter asked with some surprise. The reporter felt that at the level of Chinese athletes, the first game must be full of unreserved efforts, not to mention the 9.96 second Asian record, how It is impossible to say that it is a reserved result.

　　Zhang Guan nodded: "That is of course, after all, there will be another game, so the first game will have to leave some effort."

　　The reporter was stunned. He said that the kid was very likely to talk big, but he still said: "Then I wish you a smooth promotion in the next game!"

　　......

　　 The game is still going on. The seventh group to play next is the strongest group in the group stage and the most watched group. There are two big-name players in this group, the Jamaican flyer Asa-Powell and the British star Jason Gardner.

　　Zhang Guan continued to enjoy the next game through the TV in the rest area, and just appeared against Powell, Zhang Guan will also choose to watch this game.

　　 Powell is still not the strongest sprinter in the world, but in the future, he will rule the entire 100-meter sprint. Since 2005, until the rise of Bolt in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Powell has broken two world records in four years and won dozens of championships in the hundreds of meters. The honors are countless. If Bolt was not born, Powell would probably dominate the 100m arena for several years.

　　 At this time, Powell can only be regarded as a rising star, far from reaching his best state, nor showing absolute dominance, but even so, Powell is still the top five hot players.

　　 There was no upset in this group of matches, Powell easily won the first, and British player Jason Gardner won the second. The top four players all achieved results within 10.30 seconds, and even the fifth place ran 10.32 seconds, with a great chance to enter the next round.

　　 In the next eighth set of matches, the defending champion of the Olympic men’s 100m event, Morris Green, is about to debut.

　　 Morris Green is the last American player to debut.

　　After all, Morris Green is not the top 100-meter athlete in the United States. The top sprinter in the United States is Tim Montgomery, the world record holder. Montgomery has won multiple world championships since 2001, in 2002 He broke the world record in 9.78 seconds. In recent years, he has also stabilized Morris-Green, but his girlfriend in Montgomery has recently been caught in a drug ban scandal, and has not passed the Olympic qualifiers in the United States. And Montgomery's girlfriend is the "Queen of Track and Field" Marion Jones.

　　In the same group as Morris Green, Jamaican player Dwight Thomas, but in the Athens Olympics, Jamaicans are not as dominant as four years later, and their strength in the 100-meter sprint is obviously not as good as that of the Americans.

　　 There was no upset in this group of matches. Defending champion Morris Green came first in the group and Jamaican Dwight Thomas took second place. It is worth mentioning that sprinters from Hong Kong, China also appeared in this group, but unfortunately only achieved a score of 10.70 seconds.

　　 There are no well-known athletes in the ninth group of the preliminaries. Before the start of the competition, it was considered to be the penultimate group, but the ninth group of athletes played the level of the penultimate. The first place in this group only ran out of 10.39 seconds. If this result is placed in another group, it will not even enter the top five. The third-ranked Kazakhstan player was lucky to enter the second round with a score of 10.43 seconds.

In the last group of games, last year’s 100m champion Kim Collins of the Paris World Championships debuted. Kim Collins was ranked third in the world ranking last year. Although this year's ranking has dropped, it is still considered to be a player competing for medals.

　　 In the match, Kim Collins really won the group first, and the strength of this group of athletes is also very strong. Five players all ran within 10.30 seconds.

　　The first round of the men’s 100-meter sprint of the Athens Olympic Games officially ended. In addition to the top three in the group, other athletes ranked in the top ten can also enter the next round, of which the tenth place is 10.34 seconds, which is almost the same as everyone predicted before the game.

　　 After the game, the athletes who failed to enter the second round of the semi-finals can leave, and the athletes who entered the second round of the semi-finals will continue to wait because after a few hours ~IndoMTL.com~ will hold a 100-meter sprint The second round of the rematch.

　　......

　　Chen Jian has changed clothes, and then put the competition clothes and nail shoes into the bag. He put the white number on the top. He looked at his number, and he was reluctant to zip up his travel bag for a long time.

　　Chen Jian’s Olympics are over. Now that he thinks about it, he feels a bit regretful. If he could be faster just now, he might enter the second round. At this moment, he suddenly has an urge to cry. For him, running into the Olympic A-standard is already a very difficult thing. After four years, he is old and he can no longer make the A-mark results, so This will be the only Olympics in his career. He doesn't want his Olympics to end like this. He is not reconciled.

　　Not far away, Zhang Guan looked at Chen Jian. Zhang Guan wanted to step forward and comfort him, but he didn't know how to do it.

　　Zhang Guan looked at Yu Gui beside him, and Yu Gui shook his head at Zhang Guan, and then pointed to the distance, indicating that Zhang Guan would go aside first, don’t disturb Chen Jian.

　　 Indeed, in this situation, it may be the best way to calm down Chen Jian himself.

　　Looking at Chen Jian's back, Zhang Guan once again felt the cruelty of competitive sports. In the Olympic Games, every athlete comes with a dream, but on this dream road, only a few people can reach the end, and others are destined to be eliminated.

　　 "Since I have embarked on this path, let's be the one who has reached the end!" Zhang Guan thought in silence.
