Almighty Athlete Chapter 24: Olympic semifinals
Originally, Director Guo could go to the dormitory of the athletes to read the penalty decision, but Director Guo felt that it was not enough, so Director Guo came to the restaurant and decided to wait here. As long as Zhang Guan came to the restaurant to eat, he would read it out under the public. A penalty decision was made known to the entire national team. This can bring a humiliating humiliation to Zhang Guan, and Director Guo will enjoy unparalleled pleasure.
really bad guys getting old!
"Zhang Guan, you were so crazy in front of me a few days ago, you talked a set of words, let you write a check, and push three and four, this time is not a check can be solved! I just have to pay Regarding you as a little athlete, it's not easy!" Director Guo thought quite excitedly. He seemed to have returned to his special age when he was young, and he found the kind of fighting other people when he was young. Pleasure!
At this time, Director Zhao's voice interrupted Director Guo's thoughts. He carefully looked at every track and field team member who entered the restaurant, and then said: "Director Guo, Zhang Guan did not come."
"Don't come?" Director Guo looked closely, and indeed did not see Zhang Guan.
"Let's go and ask." Director Guo stepped forward, stopped an athlete, and asked, "Zhang Guan? Why didn't you see Zhang Guan? Didn't he train with you?"
The athlete shook his head: "No, he has a game today, he got on the bus not long ago and went to the stadium."
"He still has games today? Didn’t he just compare yesterday?" Director Guo asked.
"Yeah, but Zhang Guan was promoted in yesterday's game! So I have to go to the semifinals today." The athlete said.
"Actually promoted! Really **** luck!" Director Guo's face suddenly gloomy.
Mr. Zhao next to said, "Director Guo, let's go back first, and come back to Zhang Guan tomorrow to read the penalty decision. You see, it may be dark after a while, maybe the Zhang Guan game is very serious Start late."
"No! I have to wait until later!" Director Guo took out the kind of indomitable energy he used to engage in sports, and then said: "Let's also eat first, and wait for him in the parking lot of the shuttle after eating! If he gets off the bus, we will immediately read the penalty decision!"
"This old man who has passed the menopause! You don't rest, others have to rest! Abnormal!" Zhao officer scolded in his heart, but his face had to show obedience.
......
At 9 o'clock on the evening of August 22, Athens time, the semi-finals of the men's 100-meter sprint finally kicked off.
A total of 16 athletes participated in the semifinals, so the semifinals will be divided into two groups, and the top four of each group will enter the finals. As for the fifth place in the group, even if it runs faster than the first place in another group, this fifth place is not eligible to enter the next round.
able to enter the semi-finals are all world-class sprinters, plus the top four promotion elimination mechanism, the competition becomes more intense, and in this case, many players will inevitably feel nervous, Affects the normal play, so the uncertainty of the game has increased a lot.
American players Sean Crawford and Justin Gatlin were both in the first group. However, considering that the men’s 100m final will be held in two hours, both American players did not do their best, but chose to retain physical strength appropriately, so neither of them made a result within 10 seconds. Crawford, the first in the group, ran 10.07 seconds, while Gatling's second was 10.09 seconds. This result is not as good as in the rematch.
The semi-finals were not as exciting as the semi-finals, which made the audience very uncomfortable, but the professional sports commentators did not show much surprise. After all, it is only two hours away from the final, and it is normal for star athletes who are aspiring to compete in the championship to have reservations. And the turbulent semifinals mean that a more dangerous and fierce final will be staged!
The other two advancement places in the first group were won by Ghanaian Aziz Zachary and Barbados Obadily Thompson.
In the second group of the semifinals after , in addition to Morris Green and Zhang Guan, Jamaican flying player Powell and European champion Obick Velu are also in this group. In addition, there are St. Kitts and Nevis athlete Kim Collins and British star Jason Gardner. These six people have the strength to impact the next round, so from the paper, the second group is stronger than the first. In one group, competition is bound to be more intense.
......
Powell sneaked a peek at Kim Collins, who knew that the 100m champion of the World Championships in Paris would definitely go all out to win a promotion. This is not good news for Powell. The semifinals are only two hours away from the finals. Powell obviously does not want to consume too much energy in the semifinals. He also wants to get a medal in the finals!
The same thought with Powell was also the Portuguese Obik Viru.
Obik Viru was originally a Nigerian. He once won the 100m and 200m doubles championships in the World Youth Championship. In 2001, he was naturalized in Portugal, and he has also won in the Gold League and IAAF Grand Prix and other series After the championship, it can be said to be the fastest runner in Europe.
Obik Viru’s naturalization process is also a setback. As an African athlete, he has longed for life in Europe, and in Nigeria, it is a very common thing for athletes to travel to Europe. In the football league, there are many Nigerian football players. However, the Nigerian government did not want Obikwiru to become a naturalized European country, so Obikwiru found an excuse for injury and stayed in Europe. Then he hoped to be naturalized to European countries and eventually accepted by Portugal.
For Obik Viru, his only skill for survival is sprinting. The Portuguese are willing to naturalize him, and they also fancy his sprinting level. Therefore, he must achieve good results in the competition, so as to reflect his value, but if he can not even enter the finals, Obic Viru is worthless to Portugal. It is not easy for a naturalized athlete from Africa with no value to survive in Europe. So for Obik Viru, this is his battle for survival.
Another player, Kim Collins, felt a little depressed at this time. He came from Saint Kitts and Nevis, a small island country in the Caribbean. In such a small country with few people, Kim Collins is undoubtedly a sports superstar. His best result was the champion of the World Championships in Paris last year, but because the big players of that World Championship did not come to participate. In fact, that time Kim Collins only ran out of 9.97 seconds. It can be said that he picked up a leak and won a Paris World Championship.
Although this championship is very good, it is a champion anyway. Even if no one regards Kim Collins as a championship winner, in the pre-match predictions, there is nothing unexpected if he enters the final. There is no problem. But an accident happened, and a Zhang Guan suddenly appeared, and it can still run within 9.9 seconds, which is equivalent to stealing a promotion from Collins. So in the next semi-final, Collins is ready, he will do his best, desperate to compete for a place in the finals.
Maurice Green looked at Zhang Guan provocatively. He always felt that he was the leader of the American track and field team. The 100-meter champion seemed to him to be in the bag. The Chinese are listed as the No. 1 favorite in winning the championship! So Green decided to start with some appetizers before winning the championship, to teach the Chinese a good lesson, but also to let the analysts of the spinach companies know who is the strongest 100m trapeze!
At this time, Zhang Guan was in a good mood. He didn't pay attention to Green's provocative look. After he returned to the Olympic Village yesterday, he got good news. In the men’s football match, Iraq entered the semi-finals!
has never been optimistic about Iraq after defeating Portugal 4:2 in the group stage, and then defeated Costa Rica 2:0, and got the qualifying place. Then they lost to Morocco in the third game 1:2. But what everyone did not expect was that in another game in the same group, Portugal lost to Costa Rica 2:4. As a result, this group of Iraq and Costa Rica came out side by side, and the Iraq team was still the first in the group.
In the quarter-finals held on the 21st, Iraq played against Group C's second Australian team, Iraq 1-0 victory over Australia, miraculously entered the semifinals.
Zhang Guan also made a lot of money, about 1 to 80 odds, let Zhang Guan earn three million euros, although not yet to redeem, but Zhang Guan is still in a good mood.
"As long as the 100m champion is won tonight, there will be more than 10 million euros in prize money, which is equivalent to more than one billion national currency. This becomes a rich man overnight!"
money is undoubtedly the most direct stimulus. Thinking of this over ten million euros, Zhang Guan’s body will be involuntarily excited. At this moment, he can’t wait to start the race as soon as possible~IndoMTL.com~The eight athletes on the track are all ready Preparation.
Because the athletes in the first group did not perform well, the audience on the scene seemed to lack interest in the semifinals of the next group. At this time, everyone was paying attention to the finals of men’s high jump and men’s triple jump. As for the 100-meter sprint, let's wait for the final two hours later!
The pole height of the high jump has risen to 2.34 meters, and there are six athletes on the field trying. As the Swedish star Stephen Holm failed to try 2.34 meters for the second time, the audience in the field collectively made a noise. sigh. Everyone is discussing, the former world champion is probably going to be at a height at this height.
At this time, on the 100-meter sprint track, the starter reminded the athletes to prepare for the start, and then pulled the trigger at the start of the game.
