Chapter 514 Olympic Games

The pace of the Olympic Games is gradually approaching, and the athletes have also begun their final sprint training.

The training location of the American track and field team came to Los Angeles. As the second largest city in the United States, with the presence of Hollywood, the entertainment industry in Los Angeles is quite developed, and this is also a fatal attraction for young people. Many young athletes from the U.S. track and field team agreed to come to Los Angeles for training, and they also took a fancy to the rich entertainment life here.

However, they soon discovered that they simply had no time and energy for entertainment, and their training schedule was full, from morning to night, even on weekends. Moreover, the intensity of the training is still very high. After a day of training, almost everyone is in a state of going to bed and going to bed. Going out to nightclubs is completely impossible.

This kind of training is very boring, and it is a kind of torment to persevere, but since you are an athlete, you should get used to the torment of this kind of training, besides, Dai Li has already made a sound, if you can't adapt to this kind of training, you will get out immediately!

Everyone has self-esteem, especially the athletes who can be selected for the U.S. national team. All of them are top-notch track and field talents, and their self-esteem is even stronger. Such people will not give up lightly. No one is willing to quit voluntarily, nor People like to be thought of as jerks by other athletes.

...

On the training field, Ellis Meite crossed the last hurdle and crossed the finish line with all his might.

Then he looked back, and the scoreboard showed a number of 12.98.

Mette was startled, he couldn't believe his eyes.

"My God, I ran into 13 seconds, this is not a dream!" Meite couldn't help exclaiming.

In the 110-meter hurdles, if you can run within 13 seconds, you can win the championship in any competition.

...

Franz Muller held the pole in his hand and looked up at the crossbar supported in front of him.

There is a height he has never challenged: 6 meters!

He took a deep breath and started to accelerate.

Supporting, taking off, and relying on the elasticity of the pole, he completed the actions of hanging, swinging, leg raising, and pull-ups.

Then he landed on a thick cotton pad.

Muller got up quickly and looked at the crossbar above for the first time to confirm that the crossbar did not fall.

"A height of 6 meters! I really succeeded!" Muller couldn't help shouting excitedly.

Muller knows what it means to be able to exceed 6 meters in the men's pole vault. The Olympic record for this event is only 5.97 meters!

The same thing keeps happening on the training ground, athletes challenge their limits and make better and better results.

...

The quadrennial Olympic Games has come to Brazil. For American audiences, this Olympic Games is very suitable for watching. It is also in America, and the time difference is negligible. American audiences will not miss any games.

However, a few days after the start of the competition, the results of the US Olympic team were somewhat unsatisfactory.

In this Olympic Games, the first major events are shooting, weightlifting, swimming, diving, judo, and road cycling. Among them, shooting, swimming, and road cycling are all strong events in the United States, and they all have gold medals in the United States. one.

However, the competition for these projects is also very fierce, and the United States cannot be the only one. Take shooting for example. Although the United States has the most shooters in the world, it is really at the top of the world. China, South Korea, Russia, Italy, and Germany also have top athletes in the world. American athletes do not have any advantages. Another example is road bicycles. The strength of European countries such as Britain, France, Germany, Belgium, and Italy is not inferior to that of the United States.

In these two events, the performance of the US team is relatively normal, and the results are similar to previous years. But swimming took off the US team's hind legs.

In terms of swimming, the United States is the undisputed No. 1 in the world, and it is also the number one event in which the United States wins gold. The US team has won more gold medals in swimming than track and field. There are 34 gold medals in Olympic swimming. If the U.S. team performs better, it can win 15 or 6 gold medals, almost half of the gold medals in swimming. In comparison, the U.S. team can only win Ten or so gold medals.

However, the recent doping scandal has also affected many swimmers, which has caused the strength of the US swimming team to decline. The strength of the first major item to win gold has been weakened, and the number of gold medals in the United States has naturally declined.

When swimming is a bit "cool", track and field has become a life-saving straw in the minds of many Americans.

...

The first day of competition in track and field. At 9:30 a.m. local time, the Olympic track and field competition officially began, starting with the men's discus qualifier.

Discus throw is a sport that combines strength and technique. Athletes do not necessarily need a lot of weight, but they must have good force skills and excellent body balance ability for teachers.

European countries have always dominated this event, especially Germany, which is very good at this event, and other countries such as Austria, Hungary, Belgium, Poland, Estonia, which have a blood relationship with the German nation, are also very strong in the discus event Strength.

As for the United States, although its strength in the discus throw event is not as good as that of Germany, it is still considered world-class.

However, the impact of the doping scandal caused the top American discus thrower to withdraw from the Olympic Games, and the newly recruited athletes were not very strong. Even Li Dai did not find any outstanding talents in this event. Therefore, although the US team sent three athletes to participate in the competition, all of them were eliminated in the qualifying rounds, and none of them entered the finals.

This is a very poor result for the U.S. team. In previous Olympics or World Championships, although the U.S. could not win a medal, at least one athlete could make it to the final.

...

An athlete from the Russian team entered the men's discus final. For this result, the head coach of the Russian team, Melklov, is still very satisfied.

"Our goal in the men's discus event has been met if some athletes can enter the final." Melcroft subconsciously glanced in the direction of the US team, and then continued: "There should be no one from the US team to enter the final." Finals, right?"

"Yes." The deputy head coach Ignagarf continued: "The Americans sent three athletes to participate, but the results are all in the second half of all the players, and they are still far away from the final!"

"As we expected before the game, although there are still a lot of people in the US team this year, there are not many real top players." Melcroft smiled easily.

...

USA Athletic Association headquarters, CEO Williams is also concerned about the performance of the US track and field team.

"None of the athletes made it to the finals. The strength of the players is too low! It seems that we shouldn't have too much hope for Coach Li. If it doesn't work, it won't work..." Williams shook his head.
