Chapter 69 - Breaking the World Record

Countless of lenses were aimed at Zhang Guan at this moment. Some camera reporters rushed to Zhang Guan regardless of the staff's obstruction. Zhang Guan saw a triumphant smile. He raised his arms high and stretched out his arms. After the index finger was raised, the appearance of "first" was followed by the cheers of the audience.

Behind Zhang Guan, Maurice Greene's face was unwilling. He looked at Zhang Guan focused under the flash and clenched his fists fiercely.

"All this should have been mine! If it wasn't for consuming too much physical energy in the semifinals, how could I lose the finals! This guy Crawford, sooner or later I will ask him to settle accounts! And this Chinese, you better wait, next time I will beat you, I will regain my honor! I want to let you know who is the first in the world!" Greene has made up his mind that if he meets Zhang again during the race, there must be revenge before the snow.

But at the next moment, he turned his attention to the big number card at the finish line showing the performance of the fastest athlete, and his face instantly became difficult to see.

"How could this be? His speed is so fast! It seems that the Chinese still have a certain strength. But I will still beat you next time I meet!" Greene's thoughts became firmer and firmer.

...

"9 seconds 77! 9 seconds 77! 9 seconds 77! Zhang Guan ran out of 9 seconds 77! A new world record! This is a new world record! Zhang Guan broke the world record for men's 100-meter dash! A black-haired yellow skinned Chinese broke the world record for men's 100 meters! Zhang Guan is a well-deserved champion and the world's first trapeze! This is a great victory and the greatest victory in our country's track and field history! "

After finishing this series of words, the pain from the vocal cords finally calmed the narrator. He tried to calm down his emotions, picked up the information he had already prepared, and then introduced: "Before again, the world record is set by the American Montgomery who maintained at 9.78 seconds, and the top ten results in the world are all created by Americans. Since the last century, the famous American sprinter Carl Lewis, have monopolized the world record of the 100-meter sprint. It has been twenty years, and today, the American monopoly has been broken, and it has been broken by the athlete in our country! "

"I think before that, no one would think that Zhang Guan could win the Olympic championship, and no one would think that Zhang Guan could break the world record of the men's 100 meters, but at this moment, Zhang Guan used his strength to tell the world that he is the world fastest person! "

...

Gatlin looked at the scoreboard and sighed helplessly. The runner-up of the Olympics is also a good result for him. If Gatlin's final score of 9.84 seconds is placed in the finals of this level of the Olympics, and it can't be regarded as a very fast result, and there is a gap of 0.07 seconds with Zhang Guan, which is equivalent to a big gap in the world's top contest. Not to mention Zhang Guan also set a new world record.

"9.77 seconds! A new world record. He's really fast. I didn't get such a good result in practice. I didn't lose." Gatlin smirked with a smile on his face and stepped forward with Zhang Guan shook hands and congratulated him.

The third-ranked Obik Viru ran a 9.86-second result, which was quite ideal for him. At least in Europe, no one except him could achieve this result. A bronze medal for an Olympic track and field event is also very good for a country like Portugal.

When Obik Viru noticed that Zhang Guan was all around the camera, he rushed forward to give Zhang Guan a big hug, congratulations in a Nigerian-speaking English, and pulled Zhang Guan in front of the camera putting up a few poses and forcibly looking for the lens, for an athlete who is naturalized in the developed countries of Europe, it is easier to make more money in the future by increasing his popularity.

The fourth place was Maurice Greene. Even after consuming a lot of physical energy in the semifinals, Greene still ran out of 9.87 seconds and showed a strong strength. If it wasn't for consuming too much energy in the semifinals, I believe Greene can make a better result. He just symbolically congratulated Zhang Guan and turned away.

Fifth place, Shawn Crawford had a score of 9.89 seconds. He appeared very peaceful, without showing any expression of joy or disappointment. Crawford's main event is the men's 200-meter race. For the 100-meter event, Crawford feels that it is natural, but when it comes to the 200-meter sprint event, he must fight every second.

Jamaican trapeze Powell ranked sixth with 9.94 seconds, which is not a perfect result for him. Perhaps due to the influence of the Olympic finals, Powell appeared very nervous in the game and also affected his state. At this time, Powell is not the flying man who monopolizes the men's sprint in the future. Zhang Guan's 9.77-second result is still a difficult peak for Powell, and Zhang Guan has become a goal for future efforts in Powell's eyes.

"Congratulations! 9.77 seconds, it's great!" Powell stepped forward and shook hands with Zhang Guan.

Zhang Guan looked at the future super trapeze. He knew that in June next year, Powell would be able to achieve a score of 9.77 seconds, and then running within 9.85 seconds would become the norm for Powell.

"Powell, I believe you will run out of this result next year, maybe also in this venue." Zhang Guan said with a smile.

"Me? Next year? Thank you." Powell thought Zhang Guan was comforting himself.

"This is not a joke." Zhang Guan paused and said seriously, "I believe you will become the best sprinter in the world."

...

In the cheering of the audience, the bright red flag was raised above the national crown. He slowly walked along the runway. This is the honor of the winner. He is qualified to share his joy with the world. At this moment, he is the most dazzling star in the world.

In the auditorium, the few overseas Chinese became the most dazzling star at this moment. They were excited, they were joyful, they wept bitterly, they waved the national flag and enjoyed the envious glances cast by the audience from other countries around.

Subsequently, Zhang Guan came to the end of the time to display the card on the ground, the above is the result of winning the championship. Countless photojournalists have already gathered here, waiting to record this historic moment with a lens.

9.77 seconds, the new world record. According to the usual practice, the new world record creator wants to take a picture with this fast number. Zhang Guan's name and this result will also be inscribed in this stadium.

...

Olympic Village, sportsman entertainment center.

All the Chinese athletes are in front of the TV, and the TV channels are naturally tuned to CCTV.

The TV in the Olympic Village is received by satellite. There is no control, so you can watch domestic TV stations.

On the TV screen, a female reporter is conducting a live interview with Zhang Guan.

"Congratulations, Zhang Guan, today you have created a miracle! Not only did you win the Olympic 100-meter championship, but you also broke the world record. Can you tell me what you are thinking right now? Are you very excited?" The female reporter asked.

"I think before the game, the whole world didn't think that I would win the championship, or that I would break the world record, but I don't think this is a miracle! Who said that the Chinese can't get the world championship in the sprint? Who said the Chinese can't break the world record of 100 meters? This is not a miracle, it is for me to want to tell the world today, what others can do, we Chinese can do it! We can not only do it, but we also do it better than others!"

"Good speech!" The athletes of the national team in front of the TV set off applause and directly covered up the next question of the female reporter. After the applause was over, Zhang Guan had already begun to answer the next question.

"This should be regarded as a good start, for me, or our national track and field team." Zhang Guan paused, then said: "I know next, the national team and players will participate in short track and field I am looking forward to your performance in the competition! Since I can do it, I believe you can do it! Others may despise us, but we must not despise ourselves! I know, you are strong!"

"I know, you guys are strong!" Zhao Guan's words constantly emerged in Liu Feiren's mind.

"He is right since he can win the Olympic champion, then I can do it. We are strong!" Liu Feiren clenched his fists tightly, his eyes full of firmness.

Originally, the goal set by the national team for Liu Feiren was to reach the finals, but at this moment, Liu Feiren's state of mind has changed, and Liu Feiren decided to sprint towards the gold medal.
