Chapter 1895 The stronger we are, the more obstacles we will encounter. This is the only way to rise.

During the 200-meter race, another thing happened.

[Hamburger thrower Zhang Wenxiu lost his medal due to a retrial, Germany successfully appealed and won the bronze medal]

In the women's hammer throw final at the London Olympics, Chinese athlete Zhang Wenxiu threw 76 meters and was once ranked third; but after the final, the German team appealed, and after the referee's ruling, Heidler's fifth throw result was valid and was confirmed to be 34 meters. In this way, Heidler's result overwhelmed Zhang Wenxiu's 77 meters and won the bronze medal; Zhang Wenxiu retreated to fourth place.

The controversial scene occurred in the fifth throw. After Heidler threw the hammer, the electronic distance meter had a problem and did not display the result at first. Heidler's result could only be pending. At this time, Moldovan athlete Mazieva came on stage. After throwing, the electronic distance meter showed a result of 72 meters, and this result belonged to Mazieva. This means that Heidler's previous result was "swallowed" by the electronic distance meter. Heidler raised an objection, and the referee discussed and gave Heidler a chance to re-throw the fifth throw. Heidler tried again, but the throwing result did not reach 34 meters.

Zhang Wenxiu tried her best in the last throw, but her excessive effort had the opposite effect. Her hammer hit the net again and she was called for a foul. Her final score was 76 meters. Heidler's last throw was 34 meters.

Zhang Wenxiu thought he had won a medal and celebrated by running around the field, but the German team subsequently appealed. The referee team verified through manual measurement that Heidler's first throw of his fifth throw was 77 meters, so Heidler's ranking rose to third and Zhang Wenxiu ranked fourth.

It seems like there is nothing wrong, but actually...

There are quite a few problems.

German athlete Heidler, who was previously judged to have violated the rules by stepping outside the circle with her right foot during the competition and whose results were cancelled, unexpectedly appealed successfully, and her score was changed from invalid to valid. That's fine, but since Heidler agreed to the referee's request for her to throw again and did so, the result of the second throw should be taken, and the result of the first throw should be directly invalidated. Otherwise, it would be obviously unfair to other athletes who only tried six times. Let's assume that if Heidler's second throw result exceeded Zhang Wenxiu's or even the champion Russian Lesenko's result, could Lesenko and Zhang Wenxiu appeal and request the referee to re-measure the result of the first throw and cancel the result of the supplementary throw? After the IAAF, it was believed that the reasons for the flower grower's appeal were insufficient. So, did the referee's arbitrary supplementary throw and change of judgment have sufficient basis and reason?

Moreover, seven throws are problematic in themselves, and if the results are not accepted because they are not good, that is another problem.

It's crazy.

Feng Shuyong was watching the game here. When he heard the news, he immediately got angry and walked over to lead our delegation to express his protest.

His reasons were very good - "I think the referee made a mistake. First, after discussing with the referee, the German athlete got another chance to re-throw in the fifth throw. We think this means that both parties agreed that her first result was invalid and the second throw would be the standard. Second, if Heidler did not make a foul in the second throw of the fifth round and threw 80 meters, I would like to ask, which one should be counted as the first or second result? Since the red flag was raised and it was invalid, there was no need to measure it at all. Where did this result come from?"

Zhang Wenxiu's coach Ye Kuigang said that since the referee allowed Heidler to throw one more time in the fifth throw, it meant that they had already disowned the result of the previous throw. However, after the game, they found out the result of that throw and recognized it. This was inconsistent and actually resulted in Heidler throwing one more time than the other players. This was also obviously unreasonable in the referee's manual.

And the reason why Feng Shuyong is so annoyed is that this is not the first time this has happened in this year's Olympics.

The cycling gold medal became a silver medal, the hammer throw bronze medal became no medal, archery became second, and the gymnastics rings gold medal became a silver medal. Our athletes were "re-judged" time and time again.

On the cycling side, the women's team broke the world record just set by the Eagle Team composed of world champions V. Pendleton and Jay Warnish with a score of 32 in the qualifying round, and advanced as the first in the qualifying round. Then they broke the world record again in the first round of preliminaries with a score of 447.

"We watched the video and found that the athletes from the Flower Planting Team did not commit any of the three violations mentioned above, and we did not find any evidence that our athletes committed fouls. The referee had already announced that we were ranked first, but then downgraded us to second place. The big screen at the competition did not have a slow-motion replay, and when we asked the referee to watch the video, he refused with an impolite attitude."

"In the end, no reason was given, it was just a foul."

This has happened several times in a row, and it's always such nonsensical things. Of course Feng Shuyong can't stand it.

For them, it is an achievement and a political contribution. For the athletes, it is also the result of four years. Whether for the country or for individuals, it is something that must be made clear.

But Su Shen knew that, in fact, this matter... could not be changed.

If you look closely into the modern Olympic Games, you will find that it has always been a sporting event with some "political overtones".

We have been targeted not once or twice.

Because in foreign countries, people attach great importance to physical fitness, so Europeans and Americans definitely do not want us to rise in sports, or even surpass the West. Otherwise, the idea that Easterners are not as good as Westerners in physical fitness will be shaken.

This is also a tacit understanding among Europeans and Americans.

Isn’t this a kind of “political correctness” in the sports field?

The key is--

Throughout the Olympics, we had the most medals downgraded due to medal changes...

This is very unreasonable.

Moreover, this is not the end. Su Shen knows that in tomorrow's women's 20km race walk at the London Olympics, we will lose the gold, silver, and bronze medals because the athletes are taking doping and cannot be detected at the moment.

Yes, you read that right, that's all, otherwise we'll take care of it all.

This matter will not be cleared up until 2023.

Over the past decade, those who won gold and silver medals have already used this to earn what they deserved. So what if their money is taken back?

I have enjoyed and earned enough during this period.

However, our flower-growing girls have not enjoyed the treatment and honor they deserve in the past ten years.

Of course, I can't interfere with these changes, and the referee won't listen to me. There is nothing I can do if he is determined to do so.

but……

I can still help in the women's 20km race walk at the London Olympics tomorrow.

After all, once doping is detected, the truth will be revealed immediately. No matter how powerful you are, you will be brought down.

We also need to make a beautiful counterattack.

Even if the referee is their biological father, it won’t work.

……

By the time Feng Shuyong and the others came back with their heads hung, the second group had finished the competition.

Bolt was put in the same group with Dix again, and the two were tied in a fight.

At least that's what it looks like from the front.

Bolt is about to get overwhelmed.

I really don't understand how such a thing could happen.

How come a good Olympic Games seems to have turned into its own "Good Friday"?

I am against myself everywhere.

In the end, Bolt took first place with a time of 20.00s, and Dix took second place with a time of 20.01s.

On the sidelines, while waiting for the third group to come up, Yuan Guoqiang turned around and asked, "How is it?"

"How is it going? Will it be effective?"

Feng Shuyong had a stern face and said nothing. It was Yu Weili next to him who spoke up, "Effect? No effect. The people from the Olympic Committee are like deaf people. They didn't listen to us or give us a chance to say anything. They didn't even read the refereeing rules. They just insisted on their own way."

"How many times has this happened this year?" Yuan Guoqiang was also a little surprised.

After 08, this kind of situation has obviously increased more frequently. It may be because our voice in the Olympics is getting louder and louder, and we are no longer the dispensable little Karami.

Yu Weili saw Feng Shuyong and didn't want to say a word. He shook his head and whispered, "It seems that the country's overall strength covers the Olympics."

“I still don’t have enough say.”

"Otherwise, let me ask you, Lao Yuan, if this happened to us, would we be able to successfully appeal one, two, three, or four times, or even directly replace someone else's medal?"

Yuan Guoqiang remained silent.

After 08, we began to take off in all aspects, and the influence we created at the Olympics was incomparable.

When there is a threat, it is no longer the time to show weakness or even to give charity in a high-handed manner.

The time has come for them to reveal their true colors.

"We are secondary. The main thing is these athletes who have worked so hard for four years..."

"All the hard work has been in vain."

Finally, Feng Shuyong spoke up and said, "Stop talking. If something cannot be changed, then it cannot be changed. There will be more and more such things in the future. We should find a way to study the rules and referee books more in the future so that we can better help athletes win the honors they deserve."

Yu Weili saw Feng Shuyong say this.

No one was talking either.

Because it is true that we were not well prepared and did not expect so many problems to arise this time. This can be regarded as a lesson learned.

When we encounter such things again in the future, we must have a way to deal with it, or even make the other party give in.

Although things are improving bit by bit and lessons are being learned time and time again, one can only imagine the lost expressions on these athletes' faces.

Feng Shuyong still had some feeling that he had failed to protect them.

Even this kind of thing is not something he can influence alone. Behind this is the game of international economic and political situation.

But he is a leader.

These lovely athletes should be held accountable.

This is also the reason why Feng Shuyong looked so unhappy after his appeal failed.

He is a passionate sportsman.

Naturally, when encountering such things, one will be very angry.

"Coach Feng, let's watch the game first. We will continue to appeal. Let's watch the next game first."

The two of them could only persuade Feng Shuyong.

But even a fool knows that.

On-site appeals were ineffective.

The possibility of further appeal being successful is even slimmer.

Unless it is something counterintuitive like stimulants that cannot be covered up, the rest... the possibility of success is almost zero.

……

The turmoil here is continuing.

The men's 200m race also continued to move forward.

In electronic broadcasting.

The third group of contestants came out.

They are Kuranti Martina from Jamaica, Warren Weir from the Eagles, Kristen Malcolm from the United States, Maurice Mitchell from the United States, Brandon Christian from Antigua and Barbuda, Shinji Takahira from the Little World, as well as Xie Zhengye and Antoine Adams from St. Kitts and Nevis.

This group is actually not as strong as the previous two groups, and there are no super athletes.

Everyone looks average.

In addition to Martina and Xie Zhengye, Warren Weir from Jamaica is also a player who suddenly rose this year. Last year, his career best was only 20.43s. This year, he broke 19.99 seconds for the first time in the semi-finals of the Jamaican Championships with 20s. His current PB is 19.99s.

But he can’t be underestimated because he has hidden a bit of his strength, and in fact he now has the ability to run around 19.80s.

If I remember correctly, this year was the Olympic final, and he had a burst of energy and directly rushed to 19.84s.

He took the Olympic 200-meter bronze medal in one go.

But now in this group, 19.99s is really not good enough, far inferior to Xie Zhengye and Martina.

But at least it was opened for 20 seconds, so it is more appropriate to be the contender for small Q at the moment.

Kristen Malcolm of the Eagle Country, as a veteran born in the 20.08s, has long passed his prime. Even if he were at his peak, he would only be at the level and would not pose any threat at all.

Brandon Christian from Antigua and Barbuda has never broken 20 seconds. This is his last year before retirement. No matter how good his condition is, it will only be this good. Running 20.50+ is the limit.

As for the small book player, Shinji Kodaira, all I can say is...

Times have changed.

Now, the 200m in Asia has entered the era of less than 20 seconds due to the mutual impact between Su Shen and Xie Zhengye.

Even if he can match the 09s level he achieved in Hiroshima in 20.22.

That's it.

What's more, after a few years, he has slipped to 20.50+, which is not good enough at all.

Antoine Adams from Saint Kitts and Nevis can only focus on the 200 meters. He still has a chance to run under 20 seconds and break the 20.40-second mark. As for the meters, he will never be able to break seconds in his lifetime. This year, his best time is only +, which is already the best result of his career.

If you look at it this way.

Xie Zhengye is the second seed to advance.

Second only to Martina in front.

When Martina saw Xie Zhengye, his eyes were red and his heart was beating fast. He thought to himself -

How come I'm assigned to the same group with him again?

But since I can beat you once, I can beat you a second time.

The grouping is good, I want the C position in the final.

Don't try to snatch it from me.

But at this time, Xie Zhengye looked at him, guess what...

Suddenly smiled.

In English, I said:

"Do you want the center position?"
