Chapter 507: Breaking the 10,000-meter world record

In the air on the track at the finish line, there is a TV timing sign, which often shows the results of the first athlete to cross the finish line. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

At this point, the time shown on it is 26 minutes and 15 seconds.

"26 minutes and 15 seconds! I'm not dazzled! Director Ma rubbed his eyes to confirm that he was not mistaken.

Director Ma's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and even his breathing instantly became rapid.

"26 minutes and 15 seconds! It's really 26 minutes and 15 seconds! A world record, a world record! Zhang Guan broke the world record! Director Ma turned his head sharply and asked at the same time: "I'm not mistaken!" ”

That's right, the previous world record was Bekele's 26 minutes and 17 seconds! Zhang Guan was 2 seconds faster than the world record! He really broke the world record! The person next to him immediately said.

"Not only is it the champion, but it is also the world record that won the championship, Zhang Guan, it's the same as four years ago!" Director Ma had a strong smile on his face, he waved his hand and said to the colleagues around him, "Shall we have a drink at night to celebrate?" I secretly brought a bottle of Moutai from China. ”

……

Director Ma was discussing celebrating with his colleagues, but Sebastian had already sobered up. At this time, he stared blankly at the TV screen, but the number kept flashing in his mind.

"26 minutes and 15 seconds! 26 minutes and 15 seconds! A new world record in the 10,000 meters! ”

Sebastian sat on the chair and looked at the TV with a dejected face, in fact, at this time, it didn't matter what was playing on the TV, that feeling of frustration made Sebastian feel that life was so boring and empty.

At the beginning of the game, Zhang Guan was thrown away by the big team, which made Sebastian feel the excitement that he had not felt for a long time, but the final result came to a shocking reversal.

Zhang Guan rushed from the bottom to the first place, not only won the final victory and won this Olympic gold medal, but also broke the world record in the 10,000 meters.

Breaking the record to win the championship is a rare occurrence in the Olympic Games, and in the track and field competition of the London Olympics, Zhang Guan is the first athlete to break the world record and win the championship.

"I worked hard so that Zhang Guan could only compete in three track and field events, but I didn't expect him to be a god in track and field again!" Sebastian looked disappointed, picked up the bottle, and drank the rest of the brandy inside.

At this time, Sebastian really wanted to be drunk, maybe only alcohol could numb the depression in his heart.

……

Farah crossed the finish line second, and then he looked at the results monitor.

In 26 minutes and 45 seconds, Farah did run his best time, in the previous track and field diamond league, Farah was outside 27 minutes, and sometimes ran a 27 minutes and 30 seconds, and he was able to win the championship.

Bekele's previous Olympic record was only 27 minutes 01 seconds, so the 26 minutes and 45 seconds score was almost in the top 30 of history for a 10,000-meter runner.

In normal times, Farah would have been very excited, because he had run a very satisfactory result, a result that he would remember for the rest of his life.

And today, Farah looked at the results monitor, but he was distracted for a while, because before Farah, it was a time of 26 minutes and 15 seconds.

"26 minutes and 15 seconds, a new world record! Zhang Guan broke the world record! Farah suddenly felt as if a heavy stone was pressing down on his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.

26 minutes and 15 seconds, for Farah, a big mountain is a big mountain that cannot be crossed in a lifetime!

"I lost!" Farah let out a long sigh, although he didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit that he would never be able to surpass the world record of 26 minutes and 15 seconds in his lifetime.

There was confusion in Farah's eyes, and he couldn't help but look at Zhang Guan, but there was no figure around him.

"Where's Zhang Guan?" Farah searched for a long time, and finally saw Zhang Guan's figure on the opposite side of the runway.

At this time, Zhang Guanzheng was wearing the national flag and marching along the perimeter of the runway, while waving like a spectator in the stands.

"It turns out that Zhang Guan is celebrating victory!" Farah had an envious look on his face, how he wished that he was now celebrating around the stadium with the national flag, and how he hoped that he could get the most enthusiastic shouts and applause from the home crowd.

……

In the stands, a spectator from China handed a national flag to Zhang Guan, who took advantage of the situation to drape the national flag and began to celebrate around the field.

The commentators were still marveling at the world record broken by Zhang Guan, while the other players also completed the race one after another.

Every athlete who crossed the finish line was amazed to see which time of 26 minutes and 15 seconds was, for them it was a lifelong dream to break a world record, and since Bekele raised the 10,000m world record to 26 minutes and 17 seconds, this dream has become out of reach.

As a party, Bekele has mixed feelings. Of course, he knew how difficult his 10,000-meter world record of 26 minutes and 17 seconds was to be broken, originally Bekele thought that this world record could be held for twenty or thirty years, but what he didn't expect was that Zhang Guan broke this world record right in front of him.

Bekele crossed the finish line in fifth, and after crossing the finish line, he was about to congratulate Zhang Guan, only to find that Zhang Guan had circled the other side of the track.

Bekele stopped, ready to congratulate Zhang when he returned.

However, after Zhang Guan entered the straight track, he ran an arc and turned around, and then went around the field in the opposite direction to celebrate.

"Zhang Guan seems to be very happy!" Bekele smiled helplessly: "It's a young man, energetic." But if I break the world record, I will be as excited as he is! ”

……

The level of the athletes who can participate in the Olympics is not too bad, and at about 29 and a half minutes, the last player also finished his competition.

At this time, Zhang Guan was still celebrating around the field.

"Zhang Guan has been circling for three minutes, right?"

"It's been less than three minutes, this kid is too excited!"

"Isn't it, just a symbolic celebration, it's been three minutes, and it's still on the track, and then there's the women's 100m final!"

"It's normal for people to get a gold medal and break a world record, so it's normal to be a little excited."

"Having said that, I think the speed at which Zhang Guan celebrated around the court was about the same as the speed he had when he was competing!"

"About the same speed? Don't you have to run three laps in those three minutes? At least an extra 1,000 meters! ”

"Others are tired like a dog after running 10,000 meters, Zhang Guan is good, and he will race an extra 1,000 meters, haha!"

Amid the discussion, Zhang Guan finally stayed up for thirty minutes, and then stopped.

……

A whole bottle of brandy poured into his stomach, and the numbing effect of the alcohol made Sebastian lean back on the couch and fall asleep.

"First of all, I would like to thank Mr Sebastian, the president of the IAAF and the president of the British Organising Committee of the Olympic Games." Zhang Guan's voice sounded on the TV, and Zhang Guan was being interviewed by reporters after the game.

Sebastian woke up from his sleep when he heard his name called, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Zhang Guan facing the camera on the television screen. Then, Sebastian recalled what Zhang Guan had just said.

"Thank me! Here it is again! Sebastian looked at the TV in exasperation.

Sebastian remembered that before that, after the bicycle road race and the road individual race, Zhang Guan's words were obviously a deliberate slap in the face Sebastian. And whenever Sebastian recalls Zhang Guan's words, he can't wait to go up and beat him.

Sebastian suddenly remembered that the two gold medals in road cycling were both Zhang Guan's first and Britain's second, and in the track and field field, the two gold medals produced today were the same, the long jump was Zhang Guan's first place, and Britain's Rutherford won second; Zhang Guan, who ran the 10,000-meter run, still won the first place, and the second was also a British player.

"Coincidence! This should be a coincidence! Sebastian suddenly had a feeling that all this had been arranged by Zhang Guan in advance, and that he had come to deliberately snatch the gold medal of the British team.

"It must all be a coincidence!" Sebastian comforted himself, then thought to himself, "I said I restricted you from athletics, that's why I went cycling." This time it's the turn of the track and field event, and I see what else you have to say! ”

"Actually, I wasn't going to participate in the 10,000-meter run, after all, I was an athlete from the 100-meter sprint event, so I should participate in the sprint. But the IAAF has restricted me from competing in track and field......," Zhang said.

"It has nothing to do with your participation in long-distance running! I'm not leaving you with three track and field events, you can choose between 100 meters and 200 meters! You can run in the middle of a run! Why do you have to run long distances, you have to get involved with me! Sebastian whispered at the TV.

Zhang Guan continued: "The IAAF restricted me from competing in track and field, so I had to sign up for other events, such as cycling, boxing, and triathlon. These events conflict with the sprint race time, so I have to choose the long-distance running event! That's why I'm thankful to the IAAF President, Mr. Sebastian, because if he hadn't restricted me from participating in athletics, I wouldn't have had a conflict, I wouldn't have competed in long-distance running, and I certainly wouldn't have won this gold medal. ”

In front of the TV, Sebastian's expression had already begun to twitch, and then he cursed a British national curse:

“F@@@! Can this all be on my head? ”
