All-round Athlete

Chapter 112 The King of Track and Field Wins Gatlin Again

Osaka.

As soon as Zhang Guan got off the plane, he was surrounded by a large number of media reporters, and at the same time, there were dozens of times more fans than the media reporters.

Zhang Guan never thought that he has such a high popularity in Japan, as if he is a super star, which makes Zhang Guan feel a little smug. In the subsequent pre-match interviews, Zhang Guan did not encounter any unruly reporters.

On the match day, Zhang Guan also met many acquaintances, such as Habebe from Kazakhstan, Chenofi from Hazatest, Shinji Asahara and Naoki Tsukahara from Japan and so on. As for the US team, Maurice Green did not come, but Justin Gatlin did, and a player named Tyson Gay also appeared on the field.

Zhang Guan knew that after Bolt became famous, Tyson Gay was called "the second flying man in the world" because his performance was second only to Bolt. He is the second person after Bolt to run the 100 meters within 9.70 seconds, and he is also regarded by Americans as the successor of track and field legend superstar Michael Johnson.

It is worth mentioning that Tyson Gay is also a very comprehensive athlete and a runner.

Like Bolt, Tyson Gay first practiced the 200-meter sprint, and later added the 100-meter sprint. Unlike Bolt, Tyson Gay also developed techniques for the 400-meter dash. In 2010, Tyson Gay became the first runner in the world to simultaneously break the 100-meter 10-second mark, the 200-meter 20-second mark and the 400-meter 45-second mark. Although in the 400-meter event, Tyson Gay is not as good as the world's top special 400-meter athlete, but it is undeniable that he is indeed an all-around sprinter.

In the course of history, Tyson Gay really rose to prominence at the World Athletics Finals at the end of the year. At this time, he was only a 23-year-old young player who had not yet achieved world-level competition. Even when facing Zhang Guan, who was younger than him, Guy seemed a little scared.

After all, Zhang Guan is the world record holder.

Moreover, he is a local player in Asia, so he undoubtedly has the highest popularity on this field. Even the veteran player Shinji Asahara from Japan is less popular than Zhang Guan.

The 100-meter sprint is still ranked after the 110-meter hurdles.

Liu Feiren is in very good form today, but his old opponent American Alan Johnson did not come to the competition, which is more or less a pity, other opponents are not worth mentioning in front of Liu Feiren. Liu Feier also saved a hand in the final, but still won the championship with a good time of 13.12 seconds.

Next is the long-awaited 100-meter sprinter battle. Zhang Guan will face his old rival Gatlin, which is also the main highlight of this IAAF Osaka Grand Prix.

Gatlin's condition this year is much better than last year's. In the past two months, he has repeatedly achieved good results in some track and field competitions held in the United States. This is exactly the case. He decided to participate in the Grand Prix in Osaka, and once again issued a letter to Zhang Guan. up the challenge.

Faced with Gatlin's challenge, Zhang Guan seemed very calm. Although he has been practicing 200 meters these days, perhaps because of the large amount of practice on weekdays, Zhang Guan's condition is quite good. Currently 79 The state is enough for Zhang Guan to run within 9.85 seconds. This result can win the championship in general world-class track and field grand prix.

...

Gatlin glanced at Zhang Guan, then raised his head, and slowly closed his eyes, scenes flashed through his mind.

Gatlin thought of the Athens Olympic Games, he overcame all obstacles and entered the final. He saw that Green had exhausted too much energy in the semifinals. At that time, he was even sure that he had won the Olympic gold medal. Working hard, working hard to compete with other athletes for second place!

Gatlin remembered last year's Yokohama All-Star Game, he traveled all the way from the United States to Japan to prove his strength to the world, and then he once again worked hard to compete with other athletes for second place!

"No. 2? No. 2 again! Fuck him for No. 2!" Gatlin opened his eyes fiercely, "I'm here to fight for No. 1, not for some shit like No. 2! Zhang Guan, I will fight hard today!" Do my best, I must defeat you! I want the champion!"

...

The starter signaled the athletes to get ready, then called out the command, raised the gun, and pulled the trigger.

Zhang Guan was in good condition, he rushed out immediately, and his reaction time at the start was very good.

But Gatlin adopted the gun-running tactic and succeeded. He was the first to cross the starting line and took the lead at this very first moment.

Today's Gatlin is obviously prepared, his acceleration is very fast, and he is obviously ready to continue to expand his advantage by taking advantage of the lead obtained by running with the gun. And Zhang Guan was not to be outdone, he was almost clinging to Gatlin, and there was still a slight gap between the two at the start.

The hearts of the audience immediately rose to their throats. As soon as the match started, Zhang Guan and Gatlin were about to face off.

After 40 meters, the athlete's speed has reached the peak. At this time, for the top athletes, the contest has just begun. However, there was still a slight gap between Zhang Guan and Gatlin at the start.

Fifty meters, Zhang Guan still did not catch up with Gatlin.

At 60 meters, the two were clearly ahead of the other competitors, but Zhang Hang was still slightly behind Gatlin.

Zhang Guan has already noticed that Gatlin is a bit different today, he is in very good condition, so at this time his speed is very fast, almost comparable to his own.

"When did Gatlin become so strong! Is he bloody? I can't keep up with him." Zhang Guan was a little annoyed. Then he suddenly remembered that in the previous two contests with Gatling, he took stamina potions and status potions, and both broke the world record. But in those two matches in the world, Gatlin showed extremely fast speed, and Zhang Guan thinks that Gatlin is weak, just because he who broke the world record is indeed much faster than Gatling.

"Without me, Gatlin would have been the 100-meter champion in the Athens Olympics! I was the one who underestimated him before..." Zhang Guan realized this, and then he became more focused.

...

The members of the coaching staff watching the game from a distance also looked nervous.

From the start to the present, in just five or six seconds, there were traces of sweat on Director Yu's forehead. He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes widened, and he was silently cheering for Zhang Guan in his heart.

Director Yu hasn't felt this nervous feeling for a long time. Since the Athens Olympics, all the competitions Zhang Guan has experienced have been smooth sailing, leading all the way to winning the championship. Today, although Zhang Guan is in good condition, Gatlin is also in good condition, and Director Yu feels the tension and excitement that he has not seen for a long time.

Not far away, Gatlin's coach Graham's expression was similar to Yu's, but his heart was far more active than Yu's.

"Although Zhang Guan's speed today is not as fast as when he broke the world record last year, he is still very fast! I really don't know how the Chinese train. A man of yellow race can be so fast! We have already used that method, But he still can't beat Zhang Guan." Graham thought to himself.

Graham is a well-known coach in the United States. He has coached many champion-level American players, including Tim Montgomery, who broke the world record with 9.78 seconds, and the legendary American flying woman, Marion Jones.

At the same time, Graham is also a coach with a "conviction". The so-called "conviction" means that among the athletes he coaches, there is a precedent for using illegal drugs, including Tim Montgomery and Marion Jones.

...

On the track, two athletes have entered the final 20-meter contest.

"Hurry up! Hurry up! I can't lose!" Zhang Guan tried his best to mobilize his emotions, and his feet were also exerting more force.

Finally, at this second, he caught up with Gatling.

The two are neck and neck!

"Zhang Guan is catching up! Sure enough, he is catching up! But I won't lose!" Gatlin found that the slight lead at the start had disappeared, and he didn't panic in the slightest. Instead, he seemed more motivated.

There are only ten meters left in this world's most peak contest, and for the two top athletes, it doesn't even take 1 second to finish the last ten meters.

The victory or defeat is only a moment away, the two athletes are still fighting, they will not give up, they are both eager to win!

"It's the finish line, let's fight!" Zhang Guan made a move to cross the line, his body leaned forward violently, and his head stretched forward. At this moment, Zhang Guan almost lost his body balance. For a split second, he had to twist his body to keep his balance. At this time, Zhang Guan didn't know who would win in the end.

Gatlin also crossed the line at the finish line. He didn't look at Zhang Guan, he only had the finish line in his eyes, and his burning eyes were full of yearning for the championship.

Cross the line!

"Did I win?" This thought popped up in the minds of Zhang Guan and Gatlin at the same time.

However, from God's perspective, Zhang Guan seems to be ahead.

Both Zhang Guan and Gatlin slowed down, and they looked at the scoreboard almost at the same time.

Gatling, 9.83 seconds.

And Zhang Guan was 9.82 seconds, and Zhang Guan narrowly won by 0.01 seconds!

Immediately afterwards, cheers erupted in the camp of the national team, while the US team seemed a little frustrated.

Seeing this result, Gatling sighed slightly: "Second again! Damn it! I lost again!"

...

The process for athletes to take urine samples is very strict. First of all, they have to take off their clothes, not only their pants, but also their tops. Avoid athletes who have previously hidden specimens in their clothing. At least two sets of containers for collecting specimens must be prepared in advance, and each set must contain at least two containers, which must be transparent and unopened, so that athletes can observe whether there is anything else inside. Before taking the specimen, the athlete chooses one of the containers to use.

During the process of taking the specimens, the staff will hand the containers to the athletes, and the athletes will first use one of the containers to collect the specimens, then pour part of the collected specimens into another container, and then seal the container by themselves. Although there are staff supervision, the staff will never handle it, and all the work is done by the athletes themselves. This is also to prevent the staff from secretly mixing some other things into the specimens. Then the staff will seal the container in front of the athletes, and even ask the athletes to write or mark on the seals, and then put them in the copy storage box. All of this must be done under the athletes' sight.

Two bottles of specimens, one of which will be used for urine testing and the other will be used as a reserved specimen. Once an athlete is found to have used prohibited drugs in the urine test, another bottle of retained samples will be tested, and in the process of re-testing, from sampling, unpacking, to subsequent testing, the athlete or coach was allowed to be present to witness the whole process.

The whole process above is very complicated to say, and more than 30 operating specifications can be listed specifically, but once the athletes are more proficient, the operation is also very fast. Zhang Guan has also experienced the situation of taking specimens many times, so it soon became a specimen collection process.

Soon after, the staff completed the collection of specimens for all athletes who needed to be sampled. He put the specimens in a special box, and then prepared to send the specimens to the testing center.

But he had just walked a few steps when a man wearing a mask suddenly rushed over, snatched the box containing the athletes' specimens, and ran away.
