Almighty Athlete Chapter 34: World Championship champion
The name of Gatling appears on the list of participants!
In addition to Gatlin, Sean Crawford also appeared in the 100m roster. Another player of the US team who participated in the 100m is named Leonard Scott.
"Gatling? Why is he here?" Zhang Guan asked. The cause of the US stimulant scandal was that Gatling was found to be using illegal drugs. Gatling was also absent from all competitions after the IAAF Osaka Grand Prix, although the final IAAF penalty has not yet come out. But Gatling now must be in trouble.
"Are you surprised, right?" Director Ma continued: "Gatling was found to use illegal drugs before, so for this stimulant incident, Gatling's highest penalty is likely to be a lifetime ban, So he never admitted to using stimulants before, and he even hired private investigators to investigate whether someone framed him. But recently he has cooperated with the IAAF Anti-Doping Committee."
"Did you find out?" Zhang Guan asked.
Director Ma nodded: "I found it out, but Gatling argued that he had ADHD since childhood, and he has always had mental problems, so occasionally he needs to take some psychoactive drugs. The drugs contain some prohibited ingredients. Therefore, he will be detected as having illegal drugs. He also submitted medical certificates and doctor’s prescriptions as evidence to the IAAF Anti-Doping Committee."
"Medical certificate and doctor's prescription, even if it is available now." Zhang Guan asked curiously: "The anti-doping committee adopted the evidence submitted by Gatlin?"
"The anti-doping committee is not a fool! But from the procedural point of view, since Gatling submitted evidence, they will have to review it." Director Ma thought for a while and then said: "Anti-doping The committee cannot prove that Gatling was cheating on the medical certificate, so according to the current situation, the IAAF is unlikely to give Gatling a lifetime ban, but they cannot determine that Gatling is innocent, most likely Taking a compromise approach is likely to give Gatling a penalty of five to ten years of suspension."
"This is so long! If five years is better, if it is ten years. But it is almost the same for life." Zhang Guan said.
Gatlin is 23 years old this year, which is the golden age of sprinters. If Gatlin is 33 years old in ten years, it is for a sprinter. At 33, he can retire.
"In fact, even if it is sentenced to a ten-year ban, it is impossible to be banned for ten years. Gatling can apply for a commutation during the ban. It only needs to be regularly tested for prohibited drugs and has not been investigated for several months. If you use illegal drugs, you can apply to reduce the ban time, so if you are banned for ten years, you may finally be able to lift the ban in six or seven years; if you are five years, maybe you will be lifted in three years, and you may even participate. The next Olympic Games." Director Ma said.
The Zhang Guan thought about it and said immediately: "Then Gatlin definitely hopes that the final IAAF penalty suspension time is as little as possible. So he came to participate in this World Athletics Championship? He wanted Prove that the previous stimulants were not taken for the purpose of improving performance, but for the treatment of illness."
"Yes, it has been so long. I believe that the illegal drugs in Gatling have been excreted with the metabolism. If he can make a good result in this case, it will be no worse than before. Send a message to the world, with his strength. No stimulant can run extremely fast, so he really took the drug for treatment of illness. The anti-doping committee may also Light penalty," Director Ma said.
"It's all scheming bitches!" Zhang Guan said with a smile.
Director Ma ignored the joke of Zhang Guan, but said with a hint of warning: "In competitive sports, even to the top level in the world, it is not so clean. The results in competitive sports represent everything, So many athletes or coaches can't help but temptation. Zhang Guan, you are still young, the future potential is unlimited, in the face of right and wrong, you must hold yourself. Don't fall forever and hate."
Zhang Guan understands that Director Ma is for his own good, and immediately nodded and said: "Director Ma is assured that I will never touch doping in my life!"
The World Championships in Athletics were held at the Helsinki Olympic Stadium. The stadium was built in 1927 and was used as a stronghold for Finns to resist Soviet attacks during World War II. Sixteen aviation bombs that survived the Soviet Union are still standing. After the end of World War II, the 1952 Olympic Games was held. In addition, the World Championships in Athletics were also held here, so it is a long-standing sports field in Europe.
On August 6, the tenth World Athletics Championships began. On the day of the competition, the preliminary and rematch of the 100-meter sprint was held. Many of the preliminary and semi-finals are second- and third-rate athletes in the world. So Zhang Guan easily entered the next day's game.
The next day's rematch, Zhang Guan is still very easy to promote, and the men's 100m final will be held that night.
American player Gatlin also successfully entered the final, while the other two American players, Crawford, were eliminated in the rematch, and young American teenager Leonard Scott reached the final.
Also in the finals were European champion Obik Viru, Jamaica’s Dwight Thomas and Michael Fretel, Ghana’s Aziz Ariza and a Nigerian athlete whom Zhang Guan did not know. In addition to American teenager Leonard Scott and the Nigerian player, Zhang Guan has played against other players.
Although Powell did not participate because of injury, he still came to the scene of the game and served as a guest on the official broadcast signal.
In fact, Powell has not been to Jamaica these days, but has been rehabilitating in Germany. The level of sports rehabilitation in Germany is the best in the world. Many American sports stars will choose to come to Germany to rehabilitate after injury. Powell has naturally done the same s Choice.
Nine out of ten Jamaicans will be very good at expressing themselves, as is Powell. At the moment, he is sitting in the commentary, as if he is talking on the side of the speech, and the commentator next to him is working hard to plug it in. In a word.
"Recently, Gatling's condition seems to be very good. I remember he said in the interview before the game that his goal was 9.78 seconds this time. It seems that he is determined to win the championship!" The commentator said.
"I don't think Gatling is likely to run within 9.8o seconds. As for winning the championship, as long as Zhang Guan is in, Gatling is impossible to win. Even if he runs 9.78 seconds, it won't work." Powell immediately took a pot Cold water splashed over.
"Asafah, why do you think so?" the commentator asked.
"I know Zhang Guan, I have dealt with him many times, and even I can't beat Zhang Guan. How could Gatling win him!" Powell continued: "I predict that when Zhang Guan is around 60 meters Will take the lead, and then keep the lead until the end."
The commentator nodded: "It is true that Zhang Guan broke the world record twice last month. He is in a very hot state now. Maybe he will set a world record today. Oh, the game is about to start, let We enter the game."
Gatlin on the track sneaked a glance at the Zhang Guan that is not far away. In order to reduce the number of years of suspension penalty as much as possible, Gatlin naturally wants to run as fast as possible, if he can beat the world record holder Zhang Guan , It couldn't be better.
With a gunshot, Gatling rushed out and quickly entered the game
Gatlin feels that he is in very good shape today, and is estimated to be able to run 9.85 seconds. This result is placed in any track and field competition, there is a great chance to win.
"Today is in very good condition, just like last year’s Olympics. I have a chance to win the championship! First, I won a 100-meter sprint champion, and then I won a 2oo-meter sprint champion. A double crown will make the country The tianlian guys alleviated the punishment on me. The five-year suspension is still too long. If it is a two-year suspension, it is much better, and the best is not to be suspended. Just monitor the observation period, a longer period of time is OK! "Thinking of this, Gatling even had a feeling of beauty in her heart.
There is also a penalty under the suspension, which is a certain period of observation. During the observation period, athletes must regularly receive urine or blood tests, and they must also regularly report their schedules to the International Olympic Committee. Although this is troublesome and will be lost, it is always better than the ban.
Thirty meters later, Gatling's degree advantage began to show up, and the gap between athletes gradually became obvious.
After another twenty meters. The leading athlete finally became apparent. In addition to Gatlin, there were Zhang Guan, Obikeviru, and the Nigerian athlete.
Gatlin didn’t care about Obik Viru and the Nigerian. He stared closely at Zhang Guan and his goal was to defeat Zhang Guan.
At 70 meters, Gatlin and Zhang Guan are still running side by side, but Obik Viru and the Nigerian athlete have fallen behind. The game became a contest between Zhang Guan and Gatling.
"Zhang Guan! Come on! Gatling is also fast! They are on the same track! Zhang Guan! Zhang Guan! Come on more! Go more! More!" The commentator on the TV began to scream.
On the field, Zhang Guan is finishing against Gatling.
Zhang Guan was extremely calm at this time, and he even began to carefully analyze Gatling.
"The current strength of Gatling should be above Powell. Compared to Powell, Gatling's strength in the back fifty meters is more powerful. Such an excellent athlete, and using stimulants, it is a pity That's it!" Zhang Guan felt a little sorry for Gatling, but the degree at his feet became faster.
In less than a second, the positions of Zhang Guan and Gatling have changed, and Zhang Guan has completely crossed Gatling.
"It's faster! He can be faster!" Gatling's pupils reflected the figure of Zhang Guan. At this time, he realized that Zhang Guan hadn't just tried his best to run.
"There is already such a big gap between us?" Gatlin knew that it was impossible for him to win this game!
Twenty meters from the end, Zhang Guan crossed Gatling, and for a 100-meter sprinter, the last 20 meters takes less than two seconds! So after more than a second, Zhang Guan crossed the finish line first.
"Zhang Guan! Crossing the line! Champion! 9 seconds 8o! Perfect! Perfect performance! Congratulations Zhang Guan. He won the men’s 100-meter sprint championship in the World Championships in Athletics! This is also the national team’s current World Championships in Athletics. The first gold medal won in China is also the first medal!" The narrator looked down at the information already prepared in his hand, and then said: "Since the Chinese athletes first participated in the World Athletics Championships in 1983, they have experienced a total of In the ninth competition, Chinese players won a total of 7 gold medals. Today, Zhang Guan won the 8th gold medal in the world track and field championships in history. It is also the first gold medal in the world championships since the 21st century!"
The broadcaster’s footage was finally transferred to Gatling at this time, and he won the second place. The result was 9 seconds and 84, which was similar to his performance at the Athens Olympics. Although he failed to win the championship, it at least proves that he can reach the top level in the world without using doping.
And the third place was not European champion Obikvilu, but the Nigerian athlete. His name was Orusoki Fasuba. At the final juncture, Obicvilu won the first place. Three.
A few days later, in the men’s 2oom match, Gatling defeated compatriots Sean Crawford and Tyson Gay and won a gold medal. Soon after, the IAAF also announced the penalty for Gatling, and decided to give Gatling a five-year penalty.
On August 19th, Zhang Guan and Liu Feiren appeared at the same time on the IAAF Gold League in Zurich again, Zhang Guan added another gold medal, but Liu Feiren still failed to win the championship in the Gold League, only Won a runner-up.
After this campaign~IndoMTL.com~Liu Feiren decided to abandon this year's IAAF Golden League game and concentrate on preparing for the Asian Athletics Championships.
The Zhang Guan stays in Europe, preparing to participate in the last two matches of the Golden League.
At the same time, in this gold league, Alon, the French female trapeze, only ran fourth and withdrew from the million dollar general competition.
After Zhang Guan missed the IAAF Grand Prix, it was Sheffield Station. This battle level Grand Prix was only one day away from Zurich. The schedule was really too tight. The Austria Grand Prix and Zhang Guan were also chosen absence. He came to Brussels early in Belgium to prepare for the IAAF Golden League Brussels on August 26.
