Chapter 20: Running in 9.9 seconds!
Although Athens is still August 21, it is already August 22 in China. Because it coincides with Saturday, many sports enthusiasts in China still choose to fight at night. So even though it's 1 o'clock in the morning, there are still a lot of spectators in front of the TV to watch the Olympics.
In the provincial capital, in the community where Zhang Guan lives, almost every house is brightly lit. There is an Olympian in the community, and the residents of the whole community feel that it is particularly honorable, and those aunts who are idle and have nothing to do say it when they meet people.
"Lao Zhang, come here, our son is here!" Zhang's mother shouted softly, and then heard the sound of the toilet flushing in the bathroom, and Zhang's father trotted out.
"It's going to start, why didn't you call me earlier!" Father Zhang sat on the sofa and kept complaining about Mother Zhang.
"This is just the beginning, I called you, who made you stay in the toilet for so long and hide in it and smoke?" Zhang's mother's momentum was even better, and suddenly Zhang's father stopped talking.
Then the two of them stared at the TV, refusing to miss a detail.
At the same time, in the land of abundance, Chen Lao also sat by the TV and watched this game.
"Lao Chen, it's so late, you should go to bed, the doctor said......" Old Chen's wife walked out of the room, and then saw Zhang Guan on the TV screen, and suddenly stopped talking, she knew that on the TV was her husband's most proud disciple, and his game, Chen Lao would never miss it.
The old lady looked at Chen Lao a little nervously, and then quickly ran to the room, took the fast-acting heart-saving pill and held it in her hand, she was worried that her husband was too excited and her heart would not be able to stand it.

In the BBC studio, the camera gave a close-up of each athlete in the athletes, and the host introduced each athlete one by one.
"This is Sean Crawford of the United States, and his main event is the 200-meter dash, but he also has championship quality in the sprint." The moderator spoke.
Eriksen immediately continued: "Yes, Crawford will be the top of the group, the only suspense is what his final result will be. β
"Obadley Thompson, an athlete from Barbados. Many of you have heard of Barbados, a country in the Caribbean and a member of our Commonwealth. The host introduced.
Eriksen replied tacitly: "O'Baled Thompson is currently the fastest 100m speed in the world at 9.69 seconds, but this time is really 5.1 meters downwind. He's certainly not as strong as Crawford, but there's a lot of hope to cause problems for Crawford. β
"Vicente Lima from Brazil ......"
"Aki Aliyu from Nigeria ......"
The camera finally focused on Zhang Guan, and before the host could open his mouth, Eriksen was the first to speak: "This is the Chinese player I just said!" I don't think you need to introduce you to him, but if you don't know him, you can take a look at The Times a few days ago. β
As Erikson teased, the camera raced to the next athlete.
β¦β¦
The referee in charge of giving the order carried a small megaphone, so his shouts could be heard by people far away.
βOnyourmarksβ¦β¦ setβ¦β¦β
The referee raised the starting pistol, but before he could give the order, he saw two athletes rushing out.
Two people ran away!
The referee immediately stopped the race and motioned for the athletes to get ready for the start again.
Zhang Guan returned to the starting line with a smile on his face, and not far from him, another runner also walked back slowly, this person smiled at Zhang Guan as he walked.
At the start, Zhang Guan and Kazakhstan's Geradi Chenofe both ran the race.
In the BBC studio, the host introduced: "The two runners are Geraldi Chenofe from Kazakhstan and Zhang Guan from China. β
Eriksen immediately spoke: "I have said before that in the preliminary round or semi-finals, if the athlete is not strong, he will choose to run with the gun to fight for the advantage of 0.00 seconds, so it is obvious that these two Asians know that there is no hope of qualifying, so they decided to use the pressure gun run tactic to fight for a shot, but unfortunately, they do not understand the rhythm of the European referees, so the pressure gun run has become a rush." β
On the field, Kazakhstan's Chenofe is indeed ready to run to win some advantages, and he feels that he can make it to the second round of the match, so he must fight in the rematch.
Zhang Guan, on the other hand, felt that his emotions were a little too excited, and he felt that he needed to adjust appropriately, so he chose to simply take the initiative to run and let his body adapt to the rhythm of the game. And through this rush, Zhang Guan's competitive state actually rose a little more, reaching 68 points.
So far, Zhang Guan does not know the rules for the growth of competitive state, but he can clearly feel that the higher the number of competitive state, the easier it is to run well.
A minute later, the eight athletes were ready to start again.
Inside the BBC studio. The host said: "The athletes are ready, the competition is about to start. β
Subsequently, neither the host nor the two guests spoke, quietly waiting for the starting gun to sound.
After the starting gun sounded, the host began his passionate commentary.
"It's time to start! Thompson's start was good, he was in the lead, Crawford started to catch up, accelerate, accelerate, he was neck with Thompson, Thompson also accelerated, who the hell was faster? Still holding each other! Oh, Crawford overtook Thompson, Crawford! Thompson wants to overtake, he can't catch up, can't catch up! Crawford faster! He's in the ...... now. Second! β
In the end, the word "second", the host seemed to be frightened, almost screaming.
According to the original commentary, he was about to say "now that he is in the lead", but the word "leading" was about to be spoken, and he realized that Crawford was in second place.
Sean Crawford, one of the three favorites to win the championship, turned out to be only in second place!
And the leader is a Chinese, it is Zhang Guan!
Thompson is really a pump-out player, and he can pump up as fast as Crawford. The host has also been paying attention to the grappling between Crawford and Thompson, and it was only at this moment that he noticed that Zhang Guan had rushed to the first position. This made the host fall into a state of distraction in an instant.
"What's going on? Am I dreaming? The Chinese are ahead? Crawford is actually behind a Chinese! How is this possible. A Chinese is ahead, this is simply unreasonable! What is this Chinese name? Damn, I don't even know the names of the contestants, so how do I explain that? Countless questions popped up in the host's mind in an instant.
Not only the BBC host, but also the hosts of other TV stations did not know how to explain, their original commentary focus was on Crawford, but now Crawford is lagging behind a Chinese, and the commentary prepared by the host is instantly wasted. The host wanted to look down at the name of the Chinese athlete on the data, but it was a 100-meter sprint race, and he didn't have time to check the information.
β¦β¦
In contrast, the commentary of the domestic TV station was not affected at all, because he only focused on Zhang Guan's game.
"At the start of the race, Zhang Guan's start was not bad, he started to accelerate, come on, he started to accelerate, the competition was very fierce, Zhang Guan rushed to the front and caught up with Crawford! Very good, try to hold on to your current position! Zhang Guan's speed is very fast, hold on, you must hold on, and if you can keep the top three, it is a victory! Transcendence! Beyond Crawford! β
The next moment, the commentator's voice suddenly rose several degrees, and instantly changed from a midrange to a high pitch.
"Ahead! Zhang Guan overtakes Crawford! Zhang Guan is ahead! Come on! Come on! Come on! Crawford wants to overtake! He's still behind Zhang Guan! It's time to cross the line! Still ahead! Fast! Come on! Come on! Rush the line! Zhang Guan has rushed to the line! Good! Good job! First! First in the group! It's out! Reach the semi-finals! We've won! We made it to the semi-finals! β
The narrator's voice had turned to a growl, and he seemed a little incoherent, or he simply didn't know what to say at this point. It wasn't until a moment later that he realized that the sound in the headset was going to make his ears hurt a little, and that the sound was made by himself, and the narrator realized that he had just behaved a little out of shape.
This is a live broadcast of a set of programs, and shouting in disregard of his image like he just did can be regarded as a violation of live broadcast discipline. So the commentator took a deep breath and tried to calm his excitement, but the next moment, the camera focused on Zhang Guan, who was in first place, and the athletes' results appeared on the broadcast screen.
The narrator couldn't hold back his mood again and shouted: "9.87 seconds!" 9.87 seconds! Zhang Guan ran 9.87 seconds! Ran into 9.9 seconds! Asians, Chinese, were the first to run in 9.9 seconds! β
In the guide room not far away, there was already applause, and Director Xu, who was sitting in the director room, didn't notice the commentator's gaffe at all, he clenched his fists tightly, and was so excited that he was about to tremble. The tiredness and sleepiness that had been busy for more than ten hours completely disappeared without a trace at this moment, and there was only excitement and shock in his heart.
"What an exciting game!" Director Xu took a sharp breath, although it was only a short ten seconds, but he felt that the level of excitement was much stronger than the previous badminton women's doubles final. In the one-hour badminton women's doubles final, the two teams of Chinese athletes did play a wonderful showdown, but both sides are Chinese, and they always feel that something is missing when they watch, although the gold medal is in hand, the psychological satisfaction brought to the audience is far less than defeating foreigners, especially defeating Americans, defeating them in the most powerful sprinting event of Americans!
"Cut it right away, and then replay the game in detail!" Director Xu spoke.
At this moment, Director Xu's mobile phone suddenly rang.
"It's so late, who called? My wife knows I'm going to be live until late at night today. Director Xu looked at the caller ID and called a deputy director in charge of the station.
Director Xu hurriedly picked up the phone: "Hey, hello director, I'm Xiao Xu." β
"Xiao Xu, I watched a set of 100-meter sprint races, and the live broadcast of this race is good! Winning the Americans, it's exciting! Tomorrow's news will highlight it, especially the fact that sprinting is what Americans do best, and we beat the Americans in this event! The deputy director spoke.
"Don't worry, director, I will follow up on this report personally." Director Xu put down the phone and paid attention to and reported on the Olympic Games every year, the main purpose of which was to boost the self-confidence of the Chinese people and strengthen national cohesion.
