Chapter 140: Rushing to the Seventh Gold

Britain, the commentator looked at the live broadcast screen dumbfounded, just a minute ago, he was still saying that unless God came, how could anyone be able to break the world record three times in a row, but a minute later, Zhang Guan broke the world record for the third time.

Beside him, Edwards smiled wryly.

The phrase "maybe he will surpass me in the next attempt" was just a joke from Edwards, and he didn't expect Zhang Guan to really break the world record for the third time.

"I'm just talking, he really did it!" Edwards sighed in his heart.

Meanwhile, in the locker room of the Bird's Nest, the leader of the U.S. track and field team looked like a boxer with a bruised nose and swollen face who had just been beaten, and his expression was full of embarrassment.

It was he who swore that Zhang Guan was not in good shape; It was he who confidently turned on the TV to see Zhang Guan's failure, hoping that he could encourage his teammates. But he witnessed Zhang Guan break the world record in the triple jump three times in a row.

The leader of the American team really doesn't know what to say now, now he not only has a sense of self-defeating shame, but his heart is deeply shocked by Zhang Guan, three consecutive jumps, three consecutive world records, this is in the United States, the number one sports power, has never happened.

Bad condition? If breaking the world record three times in a row is called bad form, then there are no good athletes in the world. Zhang Guan is clearly in his personal best form, and it is clear that Zhang Guan will also carry this form to the 400m final in the near future, and the so-called "sniping Zhang Guan" has become a joke.

In the 400-meter final, even if Zhang Guan has his current state, it is estimated that he can win the championship, and if Zhang Guan can maintain this state of triple jump, he will definitely go to the world record. Of course, the American team leader knows this, a Zhang Guan who is not in good shape, the American team may still have a chance to win, and a Zhang Guan who has broken three world records in a row, there is certainly no one in the world who can stop his progress.

At this time, the American team leader was very embarrassed, and Varina had already seen the embarrassment of the American team leader, in fact, from the time the American team leader said that he wanted to snipe Zhang Guan, Varina had a hunch that this was just wishful thinking on the part of the American team leader.

Varina sighed a little helplessly, and then said: "Mr. Team Leader, you can also see that Zhang Guan's condition today looks very good, I think it is really difficult to snipe Zhang Guan in the 400-meter event, but for the glory of American sports, we will definitely do our best in the competition." ”

The team leader glanced at Varina very gratefully, Varina's words also found a step for himself, and the team leader immediately borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and he said: "Jeremy is right, in fact, the so-called goal is just a good expectation. You're still fighting for the glory of America in the end, come on, boys, and I wish you all the best in the game! ”

……

After the triple jump, two more competitions were held, the women's 4x100m relay and the men's 110m hurdles final.

In the women's 4-city 100m race, the powerful American team made another mistake, and although the Chinese team completed the race, the final result was not enough to enter the final round.

As for the final of the men's 110m hurdles, after Liu Feiren withdrew, the Chinese audience lost the attraction and the final result was as expected before the game, with Cuba's Roberts successfully reaching the top and winning his first Olympic gold medal.

After that, today's track and field finale will be staged, which is the final of the men's 400m

In this event, in addition to Zhang Guan and the American trio, the other four finalists are Bahamian star Brown, France's De Joan, Britain's Ronnie and Trinidad and Tobago's Kaul. In addition to Kaul, several other people are also acquaintances of Zhang Guan, and they have competed with Zhang Guan in different competitions.

De Joan and Ronnie are both European stars, and Brown is also a player who has been famous for many years, but neither of them is as strong as the American trio. Even Neville, the weakest of the American trio, is stronger than the European athletes.

The other two American athletes, Varina's strength does not need to be introduced, and Merritt has made rapid progress in the past two years, two years ago Merritt was still Varina's younger brother, and a year ago he and Varina also lost more and won less, but this year, between Merritt and Varina, there are already mutual wins and losses, that is to say, the current Merritt, although the best results are still inferior to Varina, but in terms of strength, can already compete with Varina.

Zhang Guan is the world record holder in the men's 400m, which he had broken in Belgium that year, so there was more expectation before the race. In fact, many spectators bought tickets to come to the scene, not to see Zhang Guan break the world record in the triple jump, but to see Zhang Guan break the world record in the 400-meter event.

It can be said that in the triple jump event, Zhang Guan broke the world record three times, which is undoubtedly a surprise for the audience and an unplanned thing, but the current 400-meter event is the long-awaited drama of the audience.

"Audience friends, the next final is the men's 400m, Zhang Guan will appear, and he will hit his seventh gold medal in this Olympic Games!" The narrator spoke.

"Maybe there will be a new world record! Zhang Guan is the world record holder in this event, having broken the world record in the 400m two years ago, and judging from the previous competitions, Zhang Guan is much better now than he was two years ago. The commentator next to him continued: "At present, Zhang Guan has broken the world record in five track and field events, and if he breaks the world record in the 400-meter event, Zhang Guan will break six world records, which will equal the six world records of Phelps!" ”

"You're a few less!" The commentator said with a smile: "In the long jump event, Zhang Guan has broken the world record twice, and in the triple jump event, Zhang Guan has broken the world record three times, so the current Zhang Guan has actually broken the world record eight times in this Olympic Games, and in terms of quantity, he has surpassed Phelps, but there are only five in the event." ”

"That's right! Right! I miscalculated, it's eight world records, so we may see Zhang Guan break the ninth world record with our own eyes! (To be continued.) )
