If it was said that Chen Jian had previously drawn a sign, then Zhang Guan had drawn a sign.
In the sixth group, there are three Olympic B-marked athletes. Also, three of the A-marked athletes have the best results in 10.10 seconds. This group has the strongest athletes without Zhang Guan. It can be said that there is no pressure for Zhang Guan to qualify.
Since there are no internationally renowned players participating, neither media reporters, live audiences nor event broadcasters pay much attention to this game, and some TV stations even directly enter advertising time.
...
Olympic village. Athletes of the Jamaican track and field team who are not playing are gathering together to watch the television broadcast of the 100-meter trapeze battle. Jamaica is a sprint power, and there have been many sprint world champions in history, so the 100-meter trapeze battle naturally attracted everyone's attention, not to mention Powell has not yet played.
"Isn't Gatlin the weakest member in the United States team. Now it looks like he is also strong!"
"I think Gatlin is still not as good as Crawford, but to my surprise is that Portuguese Obic Viru, he has the strength to win the championship."
"Our Jamaican athletes debuted in the seventh, eighth, and tenth groups. Immediately after the sixth group ends, it should be Powell!"
"With Powell's strength, it must be the first in the group."
In the discussion, everyone including a young big man sat up from the sofa.
"Usain, what are you doing? The game is about to start." One said.
"There are no great athletes in the next group. I'll go to the bathroom first." Usain Bolt, a rookie athlete at this time, said as he walked into the bathroom.
...
As for Yu Gui and even the entire track and field team, this game is extremely valued. Everyone knows that Zhang Guan can enter the next round if he runs normally, and before that, the Chinese team has never entered the first place in the Olympic 100-meter sprint. The second round, so as long as you can enter the second round, is considered a breakthrough in the history of the Chinese Olympics.
"Don't be nervous, just run like usual, relax. Your group has no strong opponents. It is estimated that Asahara Xuanzhi is the most powerful except you. As a result, Asahara Xuanzhi in Japan suffers a defeat from you, so don't use too much energy. Pay attention to your opponents and do your best. If you are nervous, close your eyes and think about the previous competitions in China, you will regard this as a domestic competition ... "Yu Gui has been beside Zhang Guan, constantly relaxing him.
Zhang Guan nodded non-stop while watching his state in the system.
[Physical Condition]: 80/100
[Competitive State]: 63/100
"Physical condition 80 has reached the best state in normal time; the competitive state has returned to 63, which means that it can be played normally in the game. If it is played normally in the preliminary round, there will be no problem in the second round. No, fortunately, this is also the Olympic Games. I have to use this opportunity to break an Asian record and earn at least two skill points." Zhang Guan thought secretly.
The referee signaled that the athletes were ready to enter the stadium, and Zhang Guan immediately stepped into the runway.
"Hello, Zhang Guan. I am honored to be able to compete with you again." Improper pronunciation of English came. Zhang Guan looked back and saw Yuan Xuanzhi bowing at himself, which seemed very polite.
The Japanese have so much instinct, Zhang Guan's strength is stronger than that of Asahara Xuanzhi, so Asahara Xuanzhi is very polite to Zhang Guan. If it is a player whose strength is not as good as Asahiara Xuanzhi, Asahara Xuanzhi will not have such a humble attitude.
"I also wish you good luck." Although Zhang Guan doesn't like the Japanese, however at the age of 33, Asahara Xuanzhi can still run into the Olympic A standard and appear on the Olympic stadium. This effort alone can be regarded as an example for athletes, which he has a deep respect for!.
Except for Asahara Xuanzhi, everyone else ignored Zhang Guan. They didn't know Zhang Guan, nor did Zhang Guan know them. Although this competition is in the same field, athletes of this level ignore each other, unless they are from the same continent, otherwise, athletes are afraid that there is no chance to meet each other, naturally, there is no need to say hello.
...
At the same time, among the major gambling companies in Europe, they are also paying attention to this game.
Ordinary spectators may only pay attention to those big-name players, while coaches pay attention to the performance of athletes, while the attention of spinach companies is the comprehensive strength and presence of athletes. Once the athlete shows a very good competitive state or a very strong overall strength, the gambling company will immediately adjust the odds.
A few days ago, as the media revealed that Zhang Guan was betting on himself, the gambling company also knew where the one hundred bets of 500 euros came from. Each company received more or less a dozen bets. If calculated according to the odds at that time, each gambling company would have to pay about 1 million euros.
Although the European media admired Zhang Guan for nothing, the analysts of the gambling company did not think so. They thought that Zhang Guan dared to bet on himself, maybe he would have to rely on it. Pigs eat tigers. For major gambling companies, the odds must be changed as soon as possible, otherwise, they will be prepared to lose money.
...
Of the eight athletes in the sixth group, two are white, from Poland and Hungary, the other is from the Pacific island country of Micronesia, and the players from Trinidad and Tobago are one Mixed race, also, Côte d'Ivoire and French players are black. It is worth mentioning that this black player from Côte d' Ivoire is a B-mark player.
Black people are inherently superior in sprinting, so French black player Niseppi shows ambition.
Nisapi was on the fourth lane, and next to him was Zhang Guan on the third lane and Asahara Xuanzhi on the fifth lane.
"Are there orientals on the left and right?" Niseppi looked at both sides and found that Zhang Guan was wearing red sportswear, while Xuanji Chaoyuan was wearing white, the style of sportswear was different.
"It seems that these two people are not from one country. But it doesn't matter, this is a 100-meter sprint. The yellow people are sparring on this project. Although the red dress on the left is tall, he looks too young, and the white dress on the right is not strong enough, I will get the first in this group." Thinking of this, Niseppi's face even had a smile on his face.
At this time, Niseppi suddenly felt that someone on the right track was looking at himself. He turned to look and found that he was a white player on the sixth track. The white player was very tall and strong, and it was Polish sprint Player Lucas Zila.
"It should be people from Eastern European countries. This is probably my biggest opponent in this group!" Niseppi thought to himself.
The opposite Lucas Zira has the same idea, he thinks Niseppi is his biggest opponent to win the championship.
As for Zhang Guan and Asahara Xuanzhi, the two were directly ignored, and the yellow race was never taken seriously at the 100-meter circuit.
All eight athletes are ready to start.
After the gunshot sounded, the athlete rushed out of the starting line
Perhaps it was because of the first Olympic game that Zhang Guan 's starting was more general, but the starting of other players was similar, and even the experienced Japanese veteran Xuanzhi did not perform as expected in the starting.
At the start, none of the eight athletes took advantage, but after accelerating, the gap between them immediately became apparent.
After thirty meters, Niseppi found that he had started to lag behind Polish player Lucas Zila, but this is not the point. To the right of the Asahara Xuanzhi, the speed did not lose to Lucas Zila Shang and Qila kept going side by side.
"This yellow man ran faster than me!" Niseppi's thought, if it was normal for a white player to surpass himself, being overtaken by a yellow man completely subverted Niseppi's three views.
"How can I lose to a yellow man!" Niseppi glared, ready to use his full strength, and at this moment, he found that on the left track, Zhang Guan had left him far behind. The distance gap between them is almost five meters.
"How is it possible! Just halfway through, he is so much ahead of me! The yellow man on the right is fast enough, how can the yellow man on the left be faster! What happened today, and where did such a strong yellow man come from and still meet me!" Niseppi looked at Zhang Guan's back. He felt that the gap between him and Zhang Guan was constantly widening.
...
In the stands, this scene caused an uproar among the audience.
According to common sense, two black athletes should take the lead after the gunshots sound, and the yellow race should be right at the end. Well, the sprint event, the yellow races are all coming together! The current situation is that the yellow race is at the forefront, and the gap with the second place is still growing.
Immediately afterward, huge cheers began to ring out. People were sympathetic to the weak. If they have always been blacks, they are indeed a boring thing. Now that the yellows are leading, the blacks are being dumped. Behind him, the audience became a counterattack for the weak, so the audience spontaneously started to cheer for the athletes.
The French player Niseppi on the court was caught in irritability because the Ivorian player had surpassed him, and the Trinidad and Tobago athletes had already kept pace with him.
"How could this be!" Nisapi was suddenly hit, and the rhythm also appeared messy
In front, Polish player Lucas Zila is competing for the second place in the group against Xuanzhi.
As for catching up with Zhang Guan, they no longer have to think about it, the gap is too big.
Whether it is the second or third place in the group, you can enter the second round of the game. With the strength of both of them, it is impossible to enter the semi-finals. The second round of the rematch will be their end of the Olympic Games. However, the following Ivorian players are chasing very close, and have gradually approached the two, which makes the two have to fight for the second.
...
When he first started running, Zhang Guan chose to exert his utmost strength. After all, his first Olympic game should be paid attention to in terms of attitude, especially the two black players, who looked very strong. In Zhang Guan's subconscious mind, black people should all run fast.
But afterward, Zhang Guan took the lead easily, and he realized that not every black player was a Scud. The black player in France seemed to sell well, but his speed was not as good as his own.
"There is still a game in the afternoon. Let's keep our strength first! This is like adjusting the state and adapting to the rhythm of the game." Zhang Guan thought of it while relaxing his rhythm slightly and then rushed across the finish line first.
In this group match, Zhang Guan won with no suspense, just like the other players who won the championship.
...
Outside the field, Yu Gui clenched his fists fiercely, Zhang Guan has determined a huge lead and continues to run, there will be no doubt that he will enter the second round with the first result of this group.
"Crossing the line! In the second round, we finally entered the second round!" Coach Yu closed his eyes excitedly and forced the tears back. Since the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, Yu has been hoping to lead his team to the second round of the Olympics. Now, two decades later, after five full Olympics, his dream has finally come true!
What is even more gratifying for the coach is that Zhang Guan's performance looks normal, and has not affected his performance due to tension.
"I can't be complacent, the game is not over, and there is a second round in the afternoon. With Zhang Guan's play, maybe I can still enter the semi-finals!" By the way, as for entering the Olympic finals, it is just a good wish.
Regardless of whether or not Zhang Guan could hear it, Yu started to shout, "Zhang Guan! Good!"
...
The little rookie Bolt of the Jamaican team came out of the bathroom and saw the moment when Zhang Guan was on the TV. In the lower right corner of the TV, the time is fixed at 9.96 seconds.
"I'm right, a yellow man in the 100 meters ran 9.96 seconds! This is the best result in the preliminary round! Now even a yellow man can run so fast!
At this moment, Bolt suddenly had a strange thought in his mind. The yellow race can run out for 9.96 seconds. Perhaps he can try the 100-meter sprint while taking into account the 200-meter.
