Almighty Coach

"Justin Alexander, cross the finish line!" The commentator's voice was extremely excited, and the timer was also fixed at the number 9 seconds 78.

"9 seconds 78, Justin Alexander created the best result in the 100-meter sprint this year, and it is also the first time after Gitel retired that the result was less than 9 seconds 80!" The commentator said in an exaggerated tone.

Winning the championship with a time of less than 9.80 seconds, Alexander's Olympic gold medal is full of gold.

After crossing the finish line, Alexander didn't smile, and his expression was not even a little excited. He beat his chest with his right hand and roared forward, as if he hadn't finished venting his emotions.

McNee of the Jamaican team looked distraught. For him, it was a disaster for the Jamaican team not to be able to keep the gold medal in the 100-meter sprint. As the top player of the Jamaican team, McNee blamed himself extremely.

"We lost, and I have to bear the main responsibility." Jamaica coach Fraser said in a low voice.

"Coach, it's not your fault, nor our team members' fault, it's just that Alexander ran too fast, a score of less than 9 seconds 80, unless Gitel played in person, no one can get it from Alexander. Take this gold medal." The assistant said.

"What we have to do now is to prove to the world that Gitel is not irreplaceable, we want to tell the world that even without Gitel, our Jamaica team is still the world's number one sprint power! Fraser let out a long sigh: "Unfortunately, we failed! We lost the gold medal in the 100-meter sprint. Maybe the whole world will feel that without Gitel, our Jamaican team is nothing!"

"Coach, we just lost a more important gold medal. There is still 200 meters and a relay race. Next, we still have four gold medals to fight for. As long as we can win those four gold medals smoothly, we can still win the gold medal." Prove to the world that Jamaica is the strongest sprint country." The assistant continued to persuade.

The assistant's words seemed to have awakened Fraser, he regained his courage, and then said: "Yes, you are right, the competition is not over yet, we still have to win the remaining four gold medals!"

...

"Coach Li, congratulations! Helped the US team regain the gold medal in the 100-meter sprint! Our US team has not won the men's 100-meter sprint championship for three consecutive years. The last time we won this gold medal dates back to 16 Years ago!" Downey said with a cheerful look on his face.

"Yes, this gold medal is indeed hard-won." Dai Li looked at Alexander who was still celebrating at the finish line with a look of relief.

Dai Li knows that Alexander has endured too many tests for this gold medal, constantly challenging Gitel, being suspended at the peak, and coming back again in his thirties. The tortuous process of more than ten years, countless hard work and comeback , finally paid off.

Although he still hasn't defeated Gitel, at this moment, Alexander is still standing at the pinnacle of the world.

"The gold medal in the 100-meter sprint was also won. So, today we won a total of two gold medals and two bronze medals. It's another harvest day." Dai Li showed a bumper harvest expression on his face.

On this day of the competition, there were only four gold medals in the track and field field. The US team led by Dai Li won two of them, which can indeed be regarded as a very outstanding achievement.

...

Today's US Athletic Association CEO Williams did not miss any track and field competition.

When the last event, the men's 100-meter sprint, was crowned the champion and the awards ceremony was over, Williams was still sitting by the TV, staring at the TV screen in a daze.

After a long time, he sighed and said to himself: "It has been sixteen years, and the Olympic gold medal in the men's 100-meter sprint has finally been won!"

For USA Track and Field, the men's 100m gold medal has a different meaning.

The strongest man in the men's 100 meters is also known as the fastest man in the world. This is not just a gold medal or an honor, but also a symbol of the world's best, the limit of a human being, and influence One of the largest track and field events.

In the past few decades, the United States has dominated the men's 100-meter sprint. There are many "flyers" in the United States, and the world record for the 100-meter sprint has always been held by Americans. Until the rise of Jamaica's Gitel broke the monopoly of the United States in the sprint event, and made the Americans have not tasted the taste of the 100-meter Olympic gold medal for more than ten years.

A U.S. track and field team without a 100-meter world champion is like a rice dumpling without stuffing. It looks the same on the outside, but when you eat it, you always feel that the most important thing is missing.

Therefore, the men's 100-meter world championship has always been a heart problem for Williams. Now that the gold medal has returned to the US team, Williams feels that American track and field has once again become complete.

"This is already the fifth gold medal won by the track and field team! In just three days of competition, we have won five gold medals, and this year's national team is weaker than previous ones. To achieve such results, who Li Dai's coaching level is really good. Perhaps the plan needs to be changed, and the press conference that was going to shift responsibility for the failure to him will be changed to his celebration banquet!"

...

The Olympic track and field competition has come to the fourth competition day, but the topic of the 100-meter trapeze competition is still going on. Although no new world record was born this time, the news that Alexander won the Olympic gold medal still dominated the headlines of many sports media.

Dai Li didn't pay much attention to what was written in the news, and his energy still had to be on the fourth match day.

On the fourth competition day of the track and field event, the first event in the morning was the qualifying competition for the men's triple jump. This event was the gold point for the United States. Two athletes from the American team also successfully entered the final. Among them is defending champion Thales.

However, what surprised Li Dai was that the performance of the European team was not good. Britain, Italy and Germany, the three traditional powers in the triple jump, did not make it to the finals, and only one person from Russia made it to the finals. Among them, it was the Chinese team, all three athletes entered the final.

The first round of women's 200m was held at the same time as the triple jump qualifying competition, and the three players from the US team easily advanced.

The third event is the men's 3,000-meter hurdle race. The three boys from the US team performed very well and all advanced to the final.

After the men's 3,000-meter obstacle course, the first gold medal in track and field is about to be born today, which is the final of the women's hammer throw event.

Dai Li's favorite thing now is the field race. Whether it is the high jump, long jump, or the four major throwing events, it is the time when the state scale is effective, and this feeling is like a bet on size, full of excitement.

However, what Li Dai didn't expect was that although he won the bet this time, the American players were in full form three times, but they didn't win the game.

...

The third trial throw of the women's hammer throw. Polish athlete Ulodaczyk stood on the throwing area. He held the handle of the hammer with both hands. The person and the ball began to spin at the same time. After three laps, the hammer dropped from his hand and flew into the air. .

"Plop..." The hammer hit the ground, but Dai Li was taken aback by where it landed.

"This distance definitely exceeds 81 meters!"

The Olympic record for women's hammer throw is 78.18 meters, while the world record is 81.08 meters. According to the situation of the world's top competitions in recent years, if you can throw more than 76 meters, you may win a gold medal.

"Could it be a world record?" Dai Li looked at the scoreboard.

After careful measurement by the surveyor and repeated confirmation by the referee, a number of 82.29 meters appeared on the scoreboard.

"Sure enough, it's a new world record, and it's 1.21 meters higher than the previous world record!" Dai Li gasped suddenly. He knew that there was no hope for the US team to win the women's hammer throw gold medal. Not only the US team, facing a world record, it is impossible for athletes from other countries to surpass it.

This is no longer a problem that can be solved by the state scale. The strength of the athletes is not up to the level of breaking the world record. Even if the state is so good, this game cannot be won.

In the end, the US team won a bronze medal in the women's hammer throw event. Although Dai Li was a little disappointed by this result, he could only be forced to accept it. Who let his opponent break the world record!

Then came the final of the women's 3000-meter obstacle course, which is also the second gold medal born in today's track and field.

This game was basically a three-country competition between the United States, Kenya and Ethiopia. In the end, the Kenyan athlete was superior and won the championship. The US team came in second and won a silver medal, and Ethiopia won the third place.

In the first two finals, although the US team did not win the gold medal, they won one silver and one bronze, which can be regarded as quite rewarding.

The next three events are the first round of the men's 400m hurdles, the first round of the men's 110m hurdles and the women's discus qualifiers.

Both the 400-meter hurdles and the 110-meter hurdles are events in which the U.S. team has won gold points. As for the women's discus, the U.S. team's athletes did not perform well, and no one advanced to the final.

Then to decide today's third track and field gold medal - men's pole vault.

The rules of high jump and pole vault are different from those of long jump. In long jump, the first three trials are performed, and the top eight can enter the next three trials. Whoever jumps farther in the end will be the champion.

The high jump project is to first determine a height, and then increase the height a little bit. At each height, athletes have three chances to try jumping. As long as one is successful, they can challenge the next height. If they fail three times, they will be eliminated. As the height continues to increase, until the last person left is encountered, that is the champion. .

At the same time, pole vaulting allows athletes to avoid jumping. The so-called no-jump means that in high jump and pole vault competitions, in order to save energy, athletes can request not to jump for any trial jump at each height, and this time no-jump is not counted as the number of trial jumps. Simply put, athletes can jump over a certain height and directly enter the trial jump of the next height without a trial jump.

In addition, if the athlete fails the first or second attempt at a certain height, he can also request to skip this height, but the number of attempts for the next height can only be the number of failed attempts at the previous height. The remaining number of non-jumps after that. For example, at a certain height, a contestant fails the first jump and applies for a free jump. When reaching the next height, the previous failed attempt will also be counted in the number of attempts. He only has two jumps left. chance to jump.

At the same time, the rules also stipulate that after athletes request a no-jump at a certain height, they are not allowed to resume the trial jump at that height, that is to say, after the no-jump, they can only challenge the next height.

In addition, when the height increases to only one athlete left, this athlete must perform a trial jump, and has to jump.

According to this no-jump rule, theoretically athletes can always choose no-jump until they are left alone. Of course, when that time comes, it must be the highest height in the audience. Once it is passed, it will be the first place, but if it cannot be passed, it will be zero.

...

The first height of today's competition is 5.50 meters. For this height, athletes from France and Russia chose to skip the jump. Maybe they think this height is not challenging for them, and they can't even warm up. So Just don't jump, save a little energy.

The other ten athletes all chose to try jumping. After all, this is a relatively low-difficulty height, and it is regarded as a warm-up, or to familiarize themselves with the competition venue, or to find the state of the competition.

5.50 meters is not very difficult for sports that can enter the Olympic finals. Only one Latvian athlete failed to jump over this height and was eliminated, and the others passed smoothly.

There are still eleven athletes left on the field, and the next height has directly increased by 0.15 meters to 5.65 meters.

According to the regulations of the IAAF, the height of the pole vault should be increased by at least 5 centimeters each time. In the Olympic Games, the level of the athletes is the best in the world. At the beginning of the competition, the height is increased by 5 centimeters. Otherwise, the athletes will perform many trial jumps, which will slow down the rhythm of the competition, and the athletes will also consume more energy, which will affect the viewing of the competition and the final results of the players, so the competition will directly increase the height by 15 centimeters.

Moreover, at the level of the Olympic finals, 5.65 meters can be regarded as somewhat difficult. If you can't even jump this height, it is impossible to have the strength to compete for the gold medal.

As a result, at this height, five players were eliminated. At this time, there are still six competitors left on the field.

The height of the third increased to 5.75 meters, and another player was eliminated. At this time, there were still five players on the field.

The fourth height is 5.85 meters, which is 10 centimeters higher than before. Four players skipped this height, and another player chose to avoid jumping after two failed attempts. There is only one chance to try jumping at the height.

The next height was 5.93 metres, this time up 7 centimeters instead of 10 centimetres, because the Olympic record was 5.97 metres.

Since the Olympic record is 5.97 meters, in the height setting of the Olympic Games, there must be an Olympic record of 5.98 meters. According to the rules of the International Association of Athletics Associations, the height of the pole vault is increased by 5 centimeters each time, so the previous one The height is 5.98 meters minus 5 cm, which is 5.93 meters.

At this height, two players were eliminated, and there were still three athletes left on the field. A French player, a Russian player, and an American player, and their next challenge is the Olympic record of 5.98 meters!

...

"The height that the athletes will try to jump next is 5.98 meters. There are three other players on the field, the defending champion Patrene from France, the world champion Kulaev from Russia, and Muller from the United States. "The narrator introduced.

French player Patrene was the champion of the last Olympic Games, and it was he who created the 5.97-meter Olympic men's pole vault record.

Russian player Kulaev, who was the champion of the World Athletics Championships two years ago, is naturally very strong.

With the strength and fame of these two people, it is reasonable to challenge the Olympic record.

The American player Franz Muller is a rookie who participated in the World Series for the first time.

At this time, the Russian head coach Melklov looked at the rather handsome Muller with a bewildered expression.

"Who can tell me, who is this Muller? Where did he come from? How did he persist to this height? This guy, who I don't know at all, wants to compete in the Olympics with our world champion record!"
