All-round Athlete

Chapter 508: The Lucky One

Martina, the fourth to cross the finish line, was crying. He was only a little slower than Spearman, but he missed the medal.

Martina was also shocked by the results of Zhang Guan and Bolt, but he envied Spielman even more. The time of 19.20 seconds for the first two was something Martina couldn't even imagine. He couldn't run so fast in his life. results, but Spearman's results are capable of surpassing.

"Damn it, just a little bit, just a little bit slower!" Martina was angry and depressed at the same time. This involved the ownership of an Olympic medal. The two masters won a bronze medal in front of them, which is full of gold.

Spielman, who was third, also realized this. Both Zhang Guan and Bolt ran within 19.20 seconds, and Spielman didn't feel ashamed to lose to them. Moreover, an Olympic bronze medal can also win him the favor of many sponsors. After all, the United States is a country with extremely developed commercial sports. Some big sponsors may look down on an Olympic bronze medal, but scattered small sponsors The business will also bring a lot of money to Spearman.

"Bronze medal is not bad, after all, the top two are Zhang Guan and Bolt!" Spearman looked at the two times within 19.20 seconds, and was more satisfied with this bronze medal.

But at this moment, the referee's voice sounded very inappropriately.

"Athlete No. 655195, the result of the competition was canceled due to a foul."

"No. 655195? That's me! I made a foul and the result was cancelled?" Spearman's eyes widened in surprise. The bronze medal in his hand flew away, which made Spearman feel unacceptable for a while. He immediately went to the referee and asked what happened, and the referee told him that he had a line foul in the 100-meter curve ahead, so he was disqualified, and told Spielman that if he If you disagree with the referee's decision, you can appeal after the game.

Spearman's face suddenly darkened. Of course he knew that he could appeal if he disobeyed the referee's decision, but for things like stepping on the line, there must be an on-site defense. The referee made this kind of penalty based on the live video In the replay, you can tell if you have stepped on the line. The referee will definitely not be wrong about this kind of thing, so even if it is an appeal, there is no chance.

Spielman's running in the corner was too extreme. In order to keep up with Zhang Guan and Bolt's pace, he almost ran close to the track markings. With Spielman's strength, he should not run like this If he didn't, he couldn't keep up with Zhang Guan and Bolt's pace at all, and the result was an unexperienced stepping on the line, which caused him to foul and be disqualified from the game.

In fact, this kind of inadvertent stepping on the line, if it is not very serious, sometimes the athletes will retain their results. This is also a humane penalty, but when it comes to medals, the referee will of course be very strict on the scale of the penalty. careful. If Spielman is ranked fifth, sixth or even lower, he may not be held accountable for stepping on the line this time, but Spielman is in third place, which is a position that can win the Olympic bronze medal , so even the slightest foul on the line will be disqualified.

Knowing that the gold medal was cancelled, Spielman looked annoyed, and the broadcast camera also gave him a close-up.

"What a pity, Spearman is really a pity, a small mistake ruined this Olympic bronze medal!" The commentator of the United States also said very regretfully.

In the Olympics, although the United States won the medals, there is a saying that "no matter how small a mosquito is, it is a piece of meat." Even if it is a bronze medal, the Americans feel extremely reluctant, and this is the traditional track and field event of the US team. bronze medal.

Not far away, Martina took a serious look at the number on Spielman.

"6-5-5-1-9-5, 655195 was disqualified for a foul! Spearman is 655195! He was disqualified, so I was third and I won Olympic Bronze Medal!"

Martina immediately raised his arms high in excitement. This luck suddenly fell on him, which made him feel a little overwhelmed. Originally, he was depressed because he failed to win the medal because of the gap of one ranking, but at this moment , but the depression in his heart was swept away. This feeling was even more comfortable than the feeling he had obtained the bronze medal directly.

People are like this, they always feel that other people's things are better than their own, especially the feeling of snatching a medal from others, the joy it brings to the mood is definitely much stronger than living by yourself.

"Speelman was disqualified because of a foul. Martina from the Netherlands Antilles moved up one place and became the third place. He was lucky to get the bronze medal. Congratulations!" The narrator was a little absent-minded said, but the next moment he suddenly raised his spirits.

"Wait a minute, the referee seems to have said something again."

"Athlete No. 471880, the result of the competition was canceled due to a foul." The referee announced.

"471880? Who is it?" There was an uproar at the scene. People looked at Zhang Guan's number first, but Zhang Guan carried a number starting with "6" on his back, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

"471880, fortunately it's not Zhang Guan, nor Bolt, Bolt is 485385. Who could it be? Oh, it's Martina! It's Martina who just became the third! He also fouled! He The grades have also been cancelled.”

Under the camera, Martina, who was still waving to celebrate just now, has already changed his expression. 417880 is his number, which means that he was disqualified because of a foul. You must know that he was just happy for more than ten seconds bell.

Martina felt as if it was a dream. The Olympic bronze medal came very suddenly, but the loss was even more sudden. One moment he thought he was a lucky guy, but the next moment he found himself an unlucky guy. I saw him make a surprised expression, and then went to the referee to ask the reason.

Martina got the same answer as Spielman, who fouled the line in the corner.

Martina also wanted to win too much, so he also ran to the limit in the corner. It was because of this limit that he was not thrown away by Zhang Guan and Bolt in the first 100 meters, but this limit It also cost him dearly.

The feeling of snatching the bronze medal from others will give people a double sense of comfort, but this feeling of snatching the duck and flying away will also make people double depressed.

Martina is completely depressed, and Martina's depression means that someone will get double comfort.

That person was the defending champion Sean Crawford, and this luck finally fell on his head.

As the defending champion, the fifth place result is indeed a bit horrible, but there is no way to do it. The young players are much stronger than Crawford in terms of strength. In the 200-meter final of the Athens Olympic Games four years ago, Only Crawford ran within 20 seconds by himself, and today, four years later, in the 200-meter final of the Olympic Games, only one player did not run within 20 seconds, and there were even Zhang Guan and Bolt. Two "monsters" who ran into 19.20 seconds.

However, Crawford's luck was really great. He ran fifth, which is a position that missed the medal. However, Spielman, who was third, and Martina, who was fourth, were both due to fouls. However, his results were cancelled. As the fifth place, he miraculously rose to third place and won a bronze medal.

At this time, Crawford was completely stupefied. The happiness that came to him was not just as simple as a sudden, but more incredible.

"Congratulations to Crawford, he has risen from the original fifth place to the third place! He won the bronze medal!" With the commentator's voice, the audience also gave Crawford encouraging applause, but this applause But it made Crawford a little guilty.

"I won't foul by stepping on the line too! Probably not, I run relatively conservatively in the corner." Crawford subconsciously looked at the referee, but this time, the referee did not announce anything, Ke Lawford's bronze medal was finally confirmed.

The Americans also began to celebrate again. The Olympic bronze medal went around and finally returned to the Americans. They can experience this feeling of regaining it.

So far, another sprint event in the Olympic Games has also ended. Zhang Guan won the championship, Bolt was the runner-up, and "Lucky" Crawford became the third runner-up.

Bolt challenged Zhang Guan in two events and ended in failure. He won two silver medals, but his game is not over yet, because next, he will compete in the men's 4x100m race . An overall strong Jamaica team might be able to guarantee Bolt a gold medal.

Zhang Guan’s competition is not over either. Of course he will also participate in the men’s 4-city 100-meter race, but he still has a personal event. He will face a new challenger tomorrow—Jeremy in the men’s 400-meter sprint - Varina.
