Almighty Athlete Chapter 77: 5 games a day

Ramz in history won Bahrain’s first Olympic gold medal in history, but in the following year Ramz was tested for the use of stimulants, and the International Olympic Committee subsequently tested the sealed Olympic B bottle specimens The result is positive, which means that Ramz did use stimulants during the 2008 Olympic Games and Ramz was suspended for two years.

Now, Ramz is on this old path again. He does not hesitate to use stimulants in order to improve his performance.

Athletes use stimulants, and the coach must be inseparable. Sometimes, even the coach encourages the athletes to use stimulants.

Ramz’s new coach thinks it’s American. It is very coincident that this coach has also been involved in the stimulant scandal of the US “Balko Lab”. The original scandal ruined, for example, the flying lady Jones At that time, the world record holder Montgomery and others, so the coach is also very familiar with the use of stimulants, knowing many ways to avoid urine tests.

Ramz used erythropoietin-stimulating stimulants, the third generation of erythropoietin EPO, and the most advanced stimulant at the time. This stimulant can increase the number of red blood cells in the human blood and increase the oxygen content of blood hormones, used to maintain and promote normal red blood cell metabolism. The use of such stimulants can improve athletes' athletic performance and exercise endurance.

This stimulant is actually a glycoprotein hormone, which was originally present in the human body, so as long as the amount of hormone is controlled within a certain range, you can avoid post-race urine tests. Of course, if the amount is relatively large, it will definitely be detected.

Although Ramz has been using this stimulant before, his dosage is very well controlled. He even specially invited a testing agency in the United States to conduct the test, but no problems were detected. But in today's game, Zhang Guan's performance made Ramz feel great pressure, so he decided to increase the use of stimulants.

In the mind of this coach, he does not support Ramz to continue to increase the amount of doping. From the experience of the coach, it seems that if the amount of doping is added, it will probably fail the post-match urine test.

But when the coach thought about it, what Ramz said was very reasonable. Bahrain had never won a gold medal in the Olympic Games, and for now, Ramz is the only possibility for the Bahrain team to win gold. If Ram If he wins the championship, he will also receive a huge reward from Bahrain as a coach. And if Ramz cannot win the championship, perhaps his coaching career in Bahrain will come to an end.

As an American coach, he gave up his life in the United States. He traveled to Bahrain in the Middle East and endured the heat and drought. He didn't just pay attention to the money. And Ramz's suggestion can obviously bring huge economic benefits to the coach.

"If you want to gamble once, win the Olympic champion first and transfer a lot of money. Anyway, I am an American, it is impossible to stay in Bahrain for a lifetime, maybe Ramz will be found out in the future, but maybe that It’s time for me to come back to the United States!" The coach thought of it and nodded silently, saying, "Well, since you have decided, then I support you to do so."

......

Zhang Guai's successful promotion to the men's 1500m middle distance finals is also what the public hopes. After this game is over, Zhang Guan's game of the day is also over. The next day, Zhang Guan will usher in the most difficult day schedule.

At 9:00 am on August 18th, Zhang Guan will participate in the men’s 400-meter sprint pre-match; one hour later at 10:00 am, Zhang Guan will participate in the men’s 200-meter sprint, followed by the men’s triple jump qualification In the two and a half years of the afternoon, the men's basketball team will face the last opponent of the group stage, Greece; at eight o'clock in the evening, Zhang Guan will participate in the men's 200m sprint rematch, and after the rematch, Zhang Guan will also participate in the men's long jump event finals. In other words, Zhang Guan will face five events in one day.

Fortunately, there is no middle-distance running event on this day, the physical exertion will not be very large, and most of the track and field events are preliminaries and rematches, and the competition pressure will be much less. As for the last item, the long jump finals. In the basketball project, since the Chinese team and the Greek team have successfully qualified for the quarterfinals, the role of this game is mainly to rank the team, and it will not be played very fiercely.

......

On August 18th, Zhang Guan arrived at the Bird's Nest early in the morning to prepare for today's game.

The preliminaries for the men’s 400-meter sprint are today’s first competitions in the Bird’s Nest. A total of 56 players signed up to participate, so the preliminaries happened to be divided into seven groups.

The promotion rule for men’s 400-meter sprint is that the top three of each group directly advance to the semi-finals. In addition, the three best players can also get promoted, so a total of 24 players can qualify for the promotion.

It is said that players of the superstar level Zhang Guan, who are also fighting locally, are often scheduled to play in the final group of the finale. However, considering that Zhang Guan will also participate in the 200m preliminaries in an hour, the organizer deliberately set Zhang Guan Arranged in the third group appearance.

This is a great grouping for Zhang Guan. After the first and second group matches, the related equipment has been put into operation and the personnel are already in place. At least the hardware will not cause trouble to the athletes.

In terms of contestants, the third group has no well-known players except Zhang Guan. Except for Zhang Guan, this group is definitely the weakest of the seven groups, and Zhang Guan can occupy the home battle. The cheaper one, the promotion to the semi-finals looks like no pressure.

......

As soon as Zhang Guan walked near the athlete preparation zone, he saw Varina greet him with a smile on his face, and behind him were Merritt and Neville, two American athletes, who were also Americans sprinting at 400 meters. Three people sent on the project.

In the memory of Zhang Guan~IndoMTL.com~ There were seven times at the same time that one country won the first and second place in the Olympic Games, that is, three identical national flags were raised at the award ceremony. This is the three American players in the women's Sabre individual game, which took the championship, runner-up and third place at the same time. The women's 100-meter sprint Jamaica team won the championship, runner-up and third place at the same time. The tennis women's singles Russian player took the championship, runner-up and third place at the same time. The men's 400 The U.S. Milan team won the championship, runner-up and third place at the same time. The men’s 400-meter U.S. team won the championship, runner-up and third place at the same time. The table tennis women’s singles team won the championship, runner-up and third place at the same time. .

So if there is no Zhang Guan, the three teams of US team Varina, Merritt and Neville will be the top three in the 400-meter sprint. And they will add another gold to the American team in the 4 by 400 meters project.

"It is indeed spectacular to raise three national flags at the same time, but this time when I was there, at the award ceremony of the 400-meter sprint project, I couldn't hear "Starry Flag"!" Zhang Guan thought this way. , Greeted with a smile.

Note: "The Starry Banner" is the American national anthem.
