After the men's high jump final, the next gold medal in track and field will not be produced until two hours later. During this period, there were a total of six competitions on the track and field field, namely the women's javelin throw qualifying match, the men's 110-meter hurdles semi-final, the women's long jump qualifying match, the women's 400-meter hurdles semi-final, the men's 400-meter hurdles semi-final and the women's 200-meter hurdles. semifinals.

In the competitions of these six events, the American players performed normally, and there were no unpopular situations.

After that, the women's 1,500-meter gold medal will be decided in the track and field.

The U.S. team has two players advanced to the finals, which is not bad. The Ethiopians with the largest number of people who advanced to the finals, but in the women's 1500m event, Ethiopia is considered to be sufficient in quantity but poor in quality. Although their athletes are of good level, they are still somewhat reluctant to compete for Olympic medals.

Turkey's strength in the women's 1500m event is extraordinary. They won the top two in the last Olympic Games and won the gold medal in the World Championships. Originally, they were also the biggest competitors of the US team, but in the World Championships two years ago Afterwards, the Turkish athlete was found to be using prohibited drugs, and was banned by the IAAF. Therefore, the last Olympic champion and runner-up were absent from this Olympic Games.

The Russian team is also very strong in the women's middle-distance running event. The Soviet era even ruled this event for a long time. But in racing sports, the racial talent of blacks is indeed beyond the reach of other races.

Bahrain, Morocco, and Cartel also have strong players participating. The unique climate of West Asia and North Africa and the eating habits of the world are very suitable for training middle-distance runners. In the middle distance of many competitions, Arabs from West Asia and North Africa can beat sub-Saharan black players.

It is a pity that this time they encountered black athletes in the United States.

Blacks in the United States are much stronger and have better physical fitness than blacks in Africa.

Many people think that it is because the economy of the United States is developed, the people eat well, and their nutrition can keep up, so the black people in the United States are physically strong.

This is just one aspect. For example, Britain and France are also developed countries, and there are many blacks. Moreover, the social security in Europe is stronger than that in the United States. Poor blacks can receive more social welfare, and the supply of nutrition will be better than that in the United States Blacks are better, but British and French blacks are not as strong as American blacks.

The real reason why black Americans are stronger starts from the colonial era.

When European colonists sold black slaves to the Americas, they mainly chose the Negro race. They were tall, strong, and full of strength, and they were the favorite of slave traders. When the black slave trade flourished, the number of Negroes in Africa decreased significantly, and even the Negroes in many places were exterminated.

Moreover, from Africa to America, under the conditions at the time, the long journey was a great test for human physique. The blacks were crowded in the cabin in the dark, with little food and water. Those black slaves who could survive to America, It must be a person with very good physical fitness. If the body is a little weak, he will die halfway and be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks. And offspring born to strong blacks are also more likely to inherit strong genes.

In comparison, the transportation of black slaves from Africa to Europe is much closer, and the risk in the middle will be much lower. At that time, many slave traders would go through the Strait of Gibraltar, and there was almost no risk in the transportation process. Therefore, the overall physical fitness of European blacks is not as good as that of American blacks.

...

In the women's 1,500-meter event, the Turkish athlete was banned for illegal drugs, and the US team became the biggest beneficiary. The two American players performed well and won a gold medal and a bronze medal.

After the women's 1500m final, there is one last event left in today's track and field competition, which is the men's 110m hurdles final.

Hurdles has always been the strength of the US team, and in the men's 110-meter hurdles, the US team has always been in a dominant position. In the past two decades, only Lin Feixiang broke the US team's monopoly in this event.

However, after Lin Feixiang retired, the Chinese team's hurdle level instantly became second-rate in the world, and the Americans also regained their dominant position in the 110-meter hurdles event.

The opponent Americans should worry about most today should be the Jamaicans. After the Jamaican team succeeded in the two events of 100 meters and 200 meters, it also began to develop other track and field events, the two most important of which are 400 meters and short-distance hurdles.

400 meters and 200 meters have something in common. In the 1990s, many 400-meter athletes would also run 200 meters. The short-distance hurdles also have high requirements for physical explosiveness. Jamaicans are good at sprinting, and the competition among their domestic sprinters is also very fierce. When faced with fierce competition, many Jamaican sprinters find a new way to practice short-distance hurdles.

As for the U.S. team, affected by the doping scandal, the relatively strong U.S. players all missed the Olympics. In the end, only one player from the US team advanced to the final of the men's 110m hurdles. It was Ellis Meite who was directly selected by Dai Li to the US team after failing to pass the first round of the Olympic trials.

The masters of the US team did not participate, and the men's 110-meter hurdles event became the battlefield of "competition among heroes" in everyone's mind.

...

Jamaica coach Fraser is still in a very excited state to motivate his athletes.

"The U.S. team has been affected by the doping scandal. Their strongest player did not participate in this Olympic Games. This is our best chance to win the championship. The only U.S. player who made it to the final this time is named Ellis- Mette, he has never participated in an international competition. According to the information we have collected, he has not even passed the first round of the US domestic Olympic trials! Let such a person participate in the Olympic Games, the US team is really withered gone."

"In the previous men's 100-meter sprint, the Americans snatched the gold medal from us. This time, we will let the Americans pay back the debt. We will let the Americans taste the feeling of the gold medal being snatched away by others." ! Reed, it will be up to you in a while, come on, work hard to win this gold medal!" Fraser said to his athletes.

The contestant from Jamaica is named Reed. At the World Athletics Championships two years ago, Reed won the bronze medal in the men's 110-meter hurdles. Now that the main force of the US team is absent, Reed is naturally going to hit the gold medal .

On the other side, at the position of the French team, a black athlete also showed a covetous expression.

His name is Backus, and he is a 29-year-old veteran. This is his third Olympic Games.

Bacchus is a very capable player, but a little unlucky. When he first entered the international arena, it happened to be the era when Lin Feixiang was at his peak. In that era, even American players would be suppressed by Lin Feixiang in the arena, especially for the young player Bakus. Maybe taste the taste of the champion.

During the time when Lin Feixiang was injured and gave up on himself, Bacchus gradually gained some fame, but the good times didn't last long. Li Dai helped Lin Feixiang heal his injury, and Lin Feixiang also ushered in the second spring of his career. Backus, who had just entered the peak at that time, was once again reduced to a supporting role.

After Lin Feixiang retired, the American players rose rapidly and regained the dominance of the men's 110m hurdles. Bacchus still did not win the gold-worthy championship.

It can be said that over the past ten years, Backus has always maintained the state of a top player, but there have always been stronger players overpowering him, making him only inferior.

This time, several well-known players from the United States did not participate, which also gave Backus the hope of winning the championship.

"I've never heard of the young player from the United States. I heard that he didn't even pass the first round of the domestic trials in the United States. Such strength will not pose a threat to me. After a while, I just need to pay attention to Reed in Jamaica, this guy won the bronze medal at the world championships in track and field the year before last, and he is also very capable."

Backus looked at the position of the podium, his eyes full of longing.

"God bless. It's been my turn to win the championship after so many years!"

...

All the contestants had already stood on the track, but Dai Li showed a winner's smile ahead of time.

Originally, Dai Li was still very worried about Mette, but after scouting the other contestants, Dai Li's heart settled down instead. The other seven contestants are not as good as Mette in terms of ability or talent.

Mette has an A+ talent, which is already a very rare talent. Even in the world's top competitions like the Olympics, athletes with A+ talent are not Chinese cabbage. Athletes with A+ talent may not have one of every two events on average. Basically, athletes with A+ talent in each event have won the championship. Of course, if you encounter an S+ level ruler like Erwin, you can only consider yourself unlucky.

"It is more than enough for Meite to win a medal. As for the gold medal, as long as he plays normally, there should be no problem. However, in the Olympic trials in the United States, Mete did not perform well on the spot, so he did not even pass the first round. I'd better use a status scale for him."

Thinking of this, Dai Li added all the weight of the state scale to the side of the stable state.

At this time Downey's voice sounded from the side: "You seem confident in Mate and that."

"Of course, he is an athlete I personally selected." Dai Li said.

"But in the domestic trials, he didn't even pass the first round." Downey said with a pessimistic expression.

"Didn't Muller even participate in the trials? But he still won a gold medal." Dai Li replied.

"The situation of Muller and Mette is completely different. Muller did not participate in the trials, but he has the strength to win the championship. Or it is because he did not participate in the trials, so he did not show the strength to win the championship. But Mette participated Trials, and stopped in the first round. This shows that he does not have that strength."

Downey paused, and then continued: "If an ax has not split wood, it may be a sharp axe, or it may be a dull ax. But if a father and son have split wood, And it keeps chopping, so it's 100% a dull ax. I really don't understand why you have to show such strong confidence in a dull ax."

"Because I am the woodcutter with the axe! The efficiency of chopping wood is only one of the factors, whether the axe is sharp or not, the key is the person who uses the axe. If you let a three-year-old child hold a sharp axe, he will still be able to chop wood continuously. Firewood." Dai Li laughed, and he continued, "Give Captain America a dull ax and give you a sharp ax, do you think you can match Captain America in terms of chopping speed?"

Downey was at a loss for words. Let alone a sharp axe, even if he was given a chainsaw, he couldn't compare to Captain America in chopping wood.

"Your analogy is too inappropriate. Captain America is a superhero. How can ordinary people compare with superheroes!" Downey said unconvinced.

"The difference between superheroes and ordinary people is that superheroes can do things that ordinary people can't, or what superheroes can do is considered a miracle in the eyes of ordinary people." Dai Li paused. , Then said: "Then do you think that in this Olympic Games, leading such an American team, I have created few miracles? And I can assure you that Meite is not a dull axe. "

Downey frowned. He was very disdainful of Dai Li's stinking appearance, but so far, God has never punished this stinky person.

...

After dinner, USA Athletic Association Chairman Williams has been watching the Olympic Games in front of the TV.

Today's US track and field team has won 3 golds, 1 silver and 1 bronze, surpassing the situation in the past four competition days. Of course, Williams is very satisfied with this result. Especially for the gold medal in the high jump, Leonard defeated two extremely powerful opponents to win the championship, which gave Williams a sense of excitement that he had not seen for a long time.

Now came the last item of the day, Williams stood up instead, picked up the remote control to turn off the TV.

"Today's game is not over yet, don't you plan to watch it?" asked the wife.

"Don't read it, there is no need for that anymore. It's getting late, I should go to bed. I'll go to the bathroom first..." Williams said.

"Why don't you go to bed after watching it? This should be the last track and field event today, right? And there are also American athletes on the stage." The wife continued to ask.

"There was an American player, but he couldn't win. This upcoming Mette was eliminated in the domestic Olympic trials without even passing the first round. Later, he was directly selected into the national team by Coach Li. He was able to reach the finals, which has exceeded my expectations, as for the Olympic medals, he is not that competitive." Williams said.

"You're going to the toilet anyway, so turn on the TV first, and then turn off the TV when you come out of the toilet. The game should be over by then, at least you can know the result of the game." The wife persuaded .

"Okay." Williams put down the remote, turned and walked to the bathroom, then pulled off his pants to pee.

The sound of tick-tock water sounded, and Williams had an expression of enjoyment on his face, and even sighed in his heart: "I've been holding it in for a long time, it's so refreshing!"

At this moment, there was a burst of wild cheers from the TV.

“Looks like the game is over and the champion has emerged. Don’t know who is that lucky one.”

Williams stood in front of the toilet and turned to look out of the bathroom. This angle happened to be able to see most of the screen of the TV.

In the next second, Williams' expression froze suddenly, and he couldn't believe what he saw with his eyes.

"I'm not mistaken!" Williams said to himself.

Suddenly, Williams felt a warm sensation in his hand.

"Oops, one didn't pay attention and peed on his hand."
