Almighty Athlete Chapter 522: Five thousand wars

On August 11th, the track and field competition of the London Olympics is also coming to an end. After today’s game, the main venue of the London Olympics will be closed to prepare for the closing ceremony of the last day.

Today’s track and field arena to produce eight gold medals. The men’s long-distance race of 5,000 meters is today’s highlight.

Four years of the 2008 Olympic Games, the number of people participating in the 5,000 meters is still relatively large. At that time, a preliminary game was held. In the London Olympics, there were only 16 athletes participating in the 5,000 meters, which is much less than the last Olympics.

In terms of difficulty in winning the championship, 5000 meters is also greater than 10000 meters. This is not because 5000 meters is more difficult than 10000 meters, but because the competition of 5000 meters is more intense.

5000 meters is a long-distance running, so long-distance runners will definitely participate in the 5000-meter race; in addition, some marathon runners will occasionally participate in the 5000-meter race; there are also 3000-meter obstacle race players The physical consumption of the 3000m obstacle race is actually similar to the 5000m, and they will also participate in the 5000m competition. The king of the 3000m obstacle race, Sahin, also won the gold medal of the 5,000m world championship; in addition, Some players who run 1500 meters will also run 5,000 meters.

Ethiopian star Becker used to be the world record holder of 5000 meters. After his return from the Olympics this time, he is still a world-class standard in the 10,000-meter event. However, Ethiopia has no place for him, which also shows from the side how fierce the competition of the 5000-meter long-distance race is.

The player preparation area, British player Farah looks very active.

As the new "Long Running King", Farah is considered to be the biggest favorite to win the championship before the game. However, since Zhang Guan broke the men’s 10,000-meter world record, Zhang Guan’s odds for winning the championship have been comparable to Farah. .

In fact, Farah’s 5,000-meter level is much stronger than his 10,000-meter level, and 5000-meter is Farah’s real strength.

Farrah first practiced football, but later changed to practice running 3000 meters. This is an indoor event, not an Olympic event. 3000 meters and 5000 meters have many similarities, but compared with 10000 meters, the difference is relatively large. Therefore, compared with 10,000 meters, Farah is better at running 5000 meters. As early as 2006, Farah won the European Championship.

At this time, Farah was not intimidated by the Zhang Guan’s 10,000-meter world record. His heart even looked forward to defeating Zhang Guan in the 5,000-meter field.

"The whole world knows that Zhang Guan is deliberately sniping the British team. Wiggins, the Brownlee brothers, and even Sir Hoy are defeated by Zhang Guan. If the next 5000 meters final, I can If you defeat Zhang Guan, I will become a hero of the British Empire! It may even be awarded by Her Majesty the Queen! 5000 meters is my greatest strength, and I will definitely win."

The title "Heroes of the British Empire" is far too tempting for Farah.

Although Farah is already the world’s top athlete, in fact, in the UK, many people have not really regarded Farah as the last British and did not accept him from the heart.

Falah was born in Somalia and later entered the UK as a refugee. No country in the world can accept the refugees without reservation, and it is impossible for ordinary people to regard the refugees as their own. This has been confirmed countless times in history, not to mention that the United Kingdom is still a relatively exclusive country in Europe. In the future, refugees in the Middle East, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, and even Belgium, have accepted refugees. Only the United Kingdom, a refugee does not want it, and even made out of Brexit.

British xenophobia, traditional xenophobia is even xenophobia, Somalia was once a British colony, and refugees from this colony of Farah, even if they acquired British citizenship, are only two in the eyes of traditional British Waiting for citizens, discrimination is inevitable. Therefore, if Farah wants to be a true British, if he wants to be recognized by ordinary British people, he must make enough contributions to Britain and must earn enough honors for Britain.

And today, the temptation of a "British Empire hero" and an opportunity for Farah to realize his dream are enough for Farah to work hard for it!

......

Not far away, Zhang Guan's expression looked dignified.

"It's not easy to win this game today!" Zhang Guan sighed silently.

5000 meters was originally a strong man, and after Zhang Guan was added, a "catfish effect" was formed.

Long-distance running has a major feature, that is, everyone must be fast, and everyone must be slow, so in some games, the organizer often invites some "rabbit" players in order to make the athletes faster. Lead.

Of course there is no rabbit player in this level of the Olympic Games, and no athlete will lead the rhythm of the belt in the front, but since Zhang Guan broke the world record of 10,000 meters, the situation is different. Originally everyone was an athlete of the same level, and suddenly a person who could break the world record popped up. It was like a catfish coming out of the sardine school. The other athletes will definitely increase their rhythm subconsciously. This may be more effective than finding a "rabbit" player.

Zhang Guan looked around, and Farah's eager look came into his eyes.

"Falah looks very excited!" Zhang Guan sighed and then noticed the Ethiopian Army.

Ethiopia, the first long-distance power, sent three players this time, the strongest of which was Gebre Meskel, who had ran a good score of 12 minutes and 53 seconds, which has surpassed Beckler Keep the Olympic record. It can be said that Gebre Meskel also has the strength to win the championship.

On the other side, the US team sent three players. The first player in the US team was veteran Lagart. He is a Kenyan naturalized player and was born in a middle- and long-distance running family. In addition to 5000 meters, Lagat also runs 1500 meters. It is worth mentioning that Lagat’s wife is a Canadian Chinese, and his coach is also a Chinese, so Lagat can speak a few simple Chinese.

Ramz, Gebre Meskel and Lagat, plus a Zhang Guan, are the four players most likely to win the 5000 meters.

......

A shot from the starter and the game officially started.

As expected before the Zhang Guan game, although there are no rabbit players, the athletes move faster. The Americans, Ethiopians, Kenyans, and the British Farah did not choose conservative tactics, but chose a more aggressive running method.

"Yes, I'm afraid you can't run fast!" Zhang Guan used follow-up running and was mixed in the middle of the team.

Zhang Guan wanted to break another world record. Prior to this, Zhang Guan worried that other players would not run fast, which would affect their results. But now it seems that all speeds are very good. , Is very promising to break the world record.

In the first two laps, everyone is in the same group, and there is no big gap between them. After all, the players who dare to participate in the Olympics will not be too weak. Even in the first two laps, even if the speed is relatively fast, no one will be left behind.

The world record for this project is 12 minutes and 37 seconds maintained by Beckler, so after two and a half minutes, Zhang Guan did not continue to use the follow-up run, but switched to a fixed-speed run.

At the moment when Zhang Guan switched to constant speed running, the speed difference he and other players saw was clearly reflected.

The Zhang Guan setting is a speed that can break the world record. If other competitors can also have this speed, then they have already broken the world record.

I saw that Zhang Guan stood out from the team and quickly rushed to the front.

"Is Zhang Guan the leader? Are we following or not?"

"The speed is fast enough now. If we keep up, will we not be able to hold on in the second half?"

"The current speed of Zhang Guan is too much for physical exertion and cannot be followed!"

The other fifteen players had different thoughts and made different choices. Some people choose to speed up following Zhang Guan, while others choose not to keep up, but continue to maintain their original rhythm.

2000 meters, Zhang Guan is in the lead, followed by three Ethiopian players, three American players and British Farah. The two Konya players did not choose to run, but ran at their own pace.

After 3000 meters, Ethiopian players Watt and O'Mary, and American player Romon have fallen behind~IndoMTL.com~ They can't keep up with the leading pace of Zhang Guan.

At 3500 meters, another American player, Rupp, gradually slowed down. At this time only British Farah, Ethiopia's Gebre Meskel and American Lagat were able to keep up with the pace of Zhang Guan.

After 4000 meters, Lagat was also thrown away, leaving only two people behind Zhang Guan.

......

"Zhang Guan can still maintain such a fast speed! Isn't he tired?" Gebremeskell's expression was grim, and he could not bear it anymore.

Gebre Meskel looked at Farah next to him. He gritted his teeth and tried to keep his pace.

"Falach can keep up, and I must be able to keep up! I will not lose to Farah!"

But in the next second, Gebremeskell's legs began to be a little indifferent.

Gebre Meskel is still holding on, but his conviction can no longer overcome his physical fatigue.

"I can't keep up, I'm going to lose!" Gebremeskell was reluctant.

Ethiopia used to be the number one power in long-distance running, and it is even more common to take the top three.

Now, as the No. 1 player in Ethiopia, he has already lost in the running phase, and he still lost to two people.

However, this is competitive sports. It has nothing to do with nationality, only strength.

Historical honors can only represent the past, any abnormal game is a new beginning, and the winner is the king!

The next second, Gebre Meskel was thrown away by the leading two... The first chapter will be delivered after the pass, asking for a guaranteed monthly ticket.
