Chapter 362 The Smiles of the Gods

The much-anticipated game.

From the very beginning it seemed like a 'fairy fight'.

Although Rousseau and Usain's starting reaction is not fast.

But their performance on the corners can be described as "magical". Rousseau in the 6th lane has not entered the fastest running state on the way, and he has continuously caught up with the American players Charles and Clark in the 7th lane and the 8th lane. American player Crawford.

Crawford did not perform well in the semi-finals, and his luck was not good when the lanes were divided in the final, but even if he got 8 lanes, the two-time Olympic champion is a two-time Olympic champion after all. After that, it still maintains the top 3 position.

But Crawford can only go so far.

When Rousseau and Usain entered the straight track one after the other, the other six runners behind hadn't completed the corner yet.

You must know that Usain and Rousseau have a 5-lane and a 6-lane, and their starting positions are relatively rear. Therefore, from the perspective of the audience, it seems that the two of them are about to take off. The two of them are in the rhythm of the game against each other.

on the straight.

Rousseau strode wildly.

Usain chased after him.

This scene is thrilling but very familiar to mainland audiences.

This is the rhythm of the game between Rousseau and Usain. Usually, Rousseau runs in front and Usain chases behind. Will they be able to catch up this time?
Huang Jue's voice in the CCTV live broadcast room was full of passion: "Rousseau is now ranked first, Usain is chasing behind, both of them are very fast, and they will cross the line soon, Rousseau must hold on... hey! Cross the line Already!"

The reason why Huang Jue sighed was because Usain caught up with Rousseau just before the two players reached the finish line, and crossed the finish line half a step faster than Rousseau. doubt.

And after the two of them crossed the line, behind them, the distance between them and the other six contestants was enough to fill a group of eight contestants.

This is simply not a level of opponent!
Huang Jue exclaimed: "The gap is too big. The gap between Rousseau and Usain in the 200-meter event is too big with other players in the world. I don't feel it in the 100-meter event. But in the 200-meter event, the performance of these two people Kind of amazing."

The guest said: "Let's look at the results, and the results have already come out."

Huang Jue slapped the table: "19 seconds 19! 19 seconds 21! Unbelievable!"

When these two results appeared on the timing board of the Berlin Olympic Stadium, I believe that all the TV hosts around the world who broadcast the game live will burst out with adjectives similar to the four characters "unbelievable".

It's too fast...

How could it be so fast?

The world record of 200 meters was trampled to pieces in this competition.

"A new world record is born!"

Excited announcements erupted on the contest broadcast.

The 75000 spectators at the scene turned into a boiling sea. They had forgotten that this was the first time that they burst into shouts of excitement. The World Championships in Berlin left them with too many wonderful memories.

A dozen journalists with guns and short cannons rushed to the runway to take pictures of the winners.

Rousseau shook his head and sighed, wanting to avoid it. After all, this is a glorious moment that can only be enjoyed by winners, but Usain grabbed him. This tall boy, who is considered very beautiful among blacks, put his arms around Rousseau's neck to show victory. gesture.

"This belongs to us!" Usain shouted in Rousseau's ear, "We won! Remember, we agreed to see who could reach 19 seconds first, and now we have achieved it together!"

"Okay, okay, I can hear you." Rousseau pushed Usain's face away in disgust, but he couldn't help but smile when he remembered the bet they made when they first met in the European Tour in 2005.

Yeah, they all did.

……

After the game, this photo of Usain with his arms around Rousseau, Usain laughing and Rousseau smiling went viral in all the media, and it was funny how the media got the title for this photo, they called it: Gods smile.

……

The 200m final.

Seems to drain the enthusiasm of the audience and media.

The rest of the game looked dull.

For mainland audiences, although Liu Yu's qualifiers are still to come, the ratings of CCTV's broadcast are still plummeting.

Liu Yu successfully qualified in the 110-meter hurdles qualifying competition.There is no doubt that Liu Yu has the strength of the world's first person in this project.

But the domestic media gave all the attention and enthusiasm to Rousseau and Usain, and there were very few reports on Liu Yu. Although this was only a qualifier, Liu Yu received too little attention.

This is for a reason.

The withdrawal of the 08 Olympic Games consumed the enthusiasm and expectations of domestic audiences for Liu Yu.

It would be fine without Rousseau, but with Rousseau, the domestic audience's feelings for Liu Yu will become: I don't want to see you, can't you?

The market quickly noticed that domestic consumers' attention and expectations for Liu Yu were both lowered, so Liu Yu's endorsement brands decreased rapidly after the 08 Olympic Games. For Liu Yu, he probably felt a little disappointed.

As an athlete, of course Rousseau wanted to support Liu Yu.

But as a coach, Lu Jinrong would sometimes say a few words of truth in front of Rousseau.

From Lu Jinrong's point of view, Liu Yu's coach, Sun Haiping, paid too much attention to Liu Yu's commercial value. In Liu Yu's situation, he couldn't afford the high-intensity competition system of the Olympics. This kind of thing can be concluded without research and judgment.

Then Liu Yu's non-competition statement should have been issued earlier.

Before the 08 Olympics, Sun Haiping didn't make this statement because he was still taking chances. For a coach, this is a bit dereliction of duty.

Of course, Liu Yu must also want to run. As an athlete, in this "home" Olympics, he will definitely have the idea of ​​"run even if he is disabled", but what is the use of running disabled? win?

It is one of the duties of the coach to stop the unrealistic thoughts of the athletes.

Lu Jinrong therefore criticized that he did not stop Rousseau from participating in the final 07×4 meters at the 100 World Championships, which was also a dereliction of duty.

"If it happens again, I will never let you play." Lu Jinrong said to Rousseau at that time.

In short.

In Lu Jinrong's eyes, before the 08 Olympics, after Rousseau was injured and his performance was sluggish, Sun Haiping was a little dazzled by Liu Yu's honor and commercial interests that were expected by the whole mainland, so he made such a decision.

This greatly hurt Liu Yu's image in the minds of Chinese people.

Therefore, on the 21st, when Liu Yu won the 13-meter hurdles championship with a time of 09 seconds, domestic media and audiences responded mediocrely.

Netizens said: "Congratulations, the World Championships is also the highest level of track and field events in the world, but Liu Yu missed the most important game in his life. This is an eternal regret for him and for us."

　Fourth update~ There is still a little bit of 4X100, and then enter the final plot. Some games will be omitted, such as the National Games and Asian Games. A big scene is the 2012 Olympics.
