Chapter 738
"boom!"

The starting gun rang, and the eight contestants rushed out like arrows from the string.Meredith has excellent physical condition, and his starting reaction is extremely fast. As soon as the starting gun was fired, he rushed out first. Behind him were two famous French sprinters and a Canadian. People only ranked fourth.

Meredith's advantage is fast start and fast sprint, but his weakness is that his speed will slow down a little in the middle, in order to accumulate strength for the final sprint.

There is no suspense in the first 30 meters. Meredith is one body ahead of No.2. His face is full of smiles. The finish line ahead is getting closer and closer. He seems to have seen the championship honor waving to him. .

At this time, Swallow Li San has been placed in the No.6 position. Not to mention foreign audiences, even Chinese audiences feel that he has no hope. A big inner guard came to participate in the sprint that Westerners are best at. It was an extremely wrong decision. The Chinese put themselves in a very embarrassing position this time.

The passion for watching the football game has not subsided. At this time, people are focusing on No.1 Meredith. For them, there is no suspense for Meredith to win the championship. What they are looking forward to now is this Can the famous sprinter hold the world record again, [-] seconds!
Meredith had already crossed the distance of 75 meters, and it was about to reach the final sprint stage. The huge Zunhuang Stadium became silent at this moment, and people held their breaths, waiting for the moment when a new world record was born!
Meredith had sprinted the 85 meters into the final sprint with a pace so unmatched that everyone thought he was the only man on the planet who could catch a train.Now, the proud Meredith has raised his arms, it seems that the championship medal has been in his pocket early.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden exclamation in the auditorium, and everyone turned their attention to the thin Chinese man. At this moment, Li San, the swallow, was dropped by Meredith more than ten meters away. Far away, he was ranked last among the eight contestants. Just when everyone thought that Meredith would be the well-deserved champion of this competition, Swallow Li San suddenly began to change his pace. Although he was not as tall as Meredith and had long legs He has an advantage, but with a leap, he actually covered a distance of two or three meters. If he hadn't appeared in the [-]-meter sprint, people would have thought he was doing hurdles.

Swallow Li San surpassed the four competitors in the first step, surpassed the runners in the second and third positions in the second step, and jumped more than one meter in the air in the third step, leaning forward , pedaling repeatedly like a wheel in the air, directly passed Meredith by one position, and crossed the finish line first.

The timekeeper almost forgot to count the time in shock. At the same time as pressing the timer, Meredith also crossed the finish line, 9 seconds 86!A new world record was born!But this is only the record created by Meredith. Don’t forget that the Chinese player is still ahead of him by as much as one body. The referee and the staff hurriedly got together and discussed for a long time. There was no way, due to the negligence of the timer Today's strongest world record has not been recorded, but people believe that if the timekeeper faithfully recorded the achievements of the Chinese people at that time, the whole world would be dumbfounded, and it would be a new world created by breaking the limit of human body record!

Meredith was surprised at first, and then he seized the reason that the timekeeper did not record the results of the Chinese players, and argued with the referee. He believed that the Chinese players could not win the championship if they had no results. At this time, Meredith’s coach and team members , also flocked to the field, asking the referee to announce that Meredith is the champion of this game, so there was a small confusion on the field, but the Chinese audience didn't buy it at all. They cursed the British for being shameless, while Throwing the rubbish newspaper at hand to Meredith, the audience quickly resounded with angry condemnation.

The referee had no choice. After discussing with the Olympic Committee officials, he finally announced that the champion of the [-]-meter sprint was Chinese player Li San!

In the next competition, the Chinese players continued to create miracles. After the champion of the 200-meter sprint, Swallow Li San won the men's 1000-meter, 200-meter race, and the men's long jump. Take the [-]-meter relay team and won the championship of this project again.

Swallow Li San became a well-deserved star today. He stood on the podium, watching the five-clawed golden dragon flag rise slowly with solemn eyes. The Olympic Committee made an exception and personally won the gold medal for Li San.The emblem pattern of the Beijing Olympic Games condenses the yearning of athletes from all over the world for the Olympic movement: it depicts a team of athletic Olympians waving the flags of their respective countries and rushing to the Olympic arena.Can faintly smell the atmosphere of the ancient Olympic Games.The pattern fully embodies the fitness and vitality of the Chinese people.The design of the medal and the front pattern completely adopt the same content as the previous Olympic Games, with the athletes receiving the award as the main body, receiving the coronation of two women in a sitting position holding laurel crowns.The only difference is that the text on the stone base is removed and changed to the reverse side of the medal.On the reverse side of the medal is a woman holding a dove of peace, symbolizing the nature of the Olympic Games.Next to it is a bust of Guan Xuqing, Emperor of China.Surrounding the medals are engraved with the words of the Beijing 1912 Olympic Games in ancient Chinese script.The total weight of the gold medal is 24 grams, the silver medal is 18.2 grams, and the bronze medal is 19 grams.The designer of the medal is Bollam, who was also the designer of the medal of the last Olympic Games; the reverse designer is Guan Xuqing, the emperor of the Chinese Empire.

Compared with the previous one, the competition items of this Olympic Games have been reduced a lot.Take boxing as an example. The host country, China, believes that boxing is too violent to embody the spirit of unity and friendship in the Olympics. Therefore, when organizing and setting up sports events, this event was canceled and replaced by traditional Chinese martial arts.This is a pity for many Westerners who love boxing.The finalized competition events include martial arts, track and field, swimming (including diving; water polo), cycling, shooting, gymnastics, wrestling (classical), equestrian, fencing, modern pentathlon, rowing, sailing football and tennis for men; Swimming (including diving) and tennis.This also laid the basic prototype for the establishment of future Olympic events.

Individual preliminaries and semi-finals have begun before the opening ceremony. China, as the host country, generally does not need to go through the preliminaries. This is also Coubertin’s green light for China. Only after the opening ceremony did the drums sound.The Chinese are very concerned about the games, and the attendance rate of each game is more than 8%, which is the highest in the history of the Olympic Games.

In the first women's platform diving competition, the champion was a girl from the Dong nationality in Guilin, China. She was the only player who had the courage to jump from a 12-meter-high platform. Therefore, she became the champion without any competition. A champion of the event, since then the event was canceled and turned into a three-meter platform.Of course, the most important event in the Olympic Games is the track and field competition. Compared with the previous Olympic Games, it has also included standard events such as the 5000-meter long-distance race for the first time.Enrollment is extremely enthusiastic.There are 13 teams participating in this new project.A total of 34 countries participated in this year's meeting, and as many as 26 countries participated in the track and field competition.

Since the Olympic Games, the US team, which has always had a great advantage in track and field competitions, lost the 100 and 200 sprint titles in the previous Olympic Games.When they came to Beijing on the "Finland" ship, they specially installed a cork runway on the ship. Even during the journey across the Atlantic, they never stopped training.They originally aimed at the British, but they did not expect that in this year's track and field event, the Chinese would emerge as a new army and overwhelm the crowd.

In the men's 200-meter hurdles competition, they sent Craig, the most powerful sprinter in the team. In the previous two Olympic Games, he had won the championship of this event twice.His opponent is Chinese player Du Xinwu.But his calculations soon came to nothing. During the game, Du Xinwu made eight false starts, and finally succeeded in the last one. However, his opponent Craig had been defeated by his "nervous battle", and finally only won the Item No.4.

The distance of the marathon set in the previous Olympic Games has not been adopted in this Olympic Games. After the planned route, the total length is 40 kilometers, which is 5 kilometers shorter than the previous one.It was a hot day during the competition, and there were 68 contestants.Most of them quit the game halfway through.Because of the fraud incidents in the previous sessions, the supervision of this marathon is very strict, and for the first time a fence is used to separate the audience and the contestants.When they were 3 miles away from the stadium, the two Chinese players ran together, throwing the other players far behind.When the two passed the last water supply station, the tall player stopped to drink water, and the short player told him that he would wait for him.But when the tall runner really went to drink water, the short runner continued to run forward, so he ran back to the stadium first and won the marathon gold medal.The teammates were angry and cheated and could only watch the gold medal fall into the hands of others and get the silver medal themselves.

When the reporters interviewed the champion Chinese player, a dramatic scene happened. The reporter first asked a lot of impressions, and then asked him how he usually trains and whether he can tell the secret to the audience. This short player But he said: "I don't have any training, I wake up early and stay late every day, just to earn some money to support my family. As time goes on, my legs and feet will be developed."

After repeated questioning, the reporters finally found out that the Chinese player was pulling a foreign car before.

An unfortunate incident occurred in the marathon of this Olympic Games. A 21-year-old Portuguese runner was approaching the finish line during the race. He collapsed and went into shock due to exhaustion. He was sent to the hospital, but unfortunately died.This unfortunate incident was dealt with immediately, and in future marathon races, doctors and ambulance personnel were placed along the route to prevent accidents for all participants.
