Chapter 893 Disappointed British (four more)

The auditorium at the finish line was completely silent, and in front of the TV, countless British viewers stared at the TV screen in silence. Even though Zhang Guan had already crossed the line, the subtitles also showed that Zhang Guan had won the championship, but the British audience Still can't believe the result.

Disappointment, unparalleled disappointment! This psychological gap is really too big!

Before the competition, both the media, experts and ordinary people felt that the champion must be produced among the Brownlee brothers, and that Britain would definitely win this triathlon Olympic gold medal. After all, the strength of the Brownlee Brothers was originally the top two in the world. Coupled with the advantage of the home game, the gold medal must be guaranteed.

Not only media experts in the UK think so, but media and experts in Europe and even the world think so. The Brownlee brothers, who are number one and number two in the world, are playing at home. This is double insurance, and it is such an important event as the Olympics. It would be strange not to win the championship.

However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. When people felt that the British gold medal was no longer in suspense, the reality made a big joke for the whole world. Zhang Guan had already crossed the finish line, but the Brownlee brothers didn't even see their shadows.

"What happened? Where did Brother Brownlee go?"

Just when people were wondering, Big Brownlee finally appeared in people's sight.

"Here it is, brother Alistair!"

"Why did you come here now? Zhang Guan has already crossed the finish line!"

"What's the use of coming now, the champion has already flown!"

"How much slower is Big Brownlee than Zhang Guan? I'm afraid it's 1 minute?"

"Almost, with a disadvantage of 1 minute, the Brownlee Brothers, whom we have high hopes for, will be so much slower!"

Instead of cheers and applause, what greeted Big Brownlee was bursts of deep boos. Obtaining only one runner-up in the Olympic Games obviously cannot satisfy the British audience at the scene.

At the finish line, Zhang Guan started to celebrate again. The effect of the speed running skill was not over yet, so Zhang Guan could only pretend to be celebrating and continued running, but this time he did not reach the end, and Zhang Guan could only circle around the audience Seat celebrated.

In the auditorium, many people looked at Zhang Guan, and they all looked angry.

It was already enough to make the audience depressed if they didn’t get the gold medal, and let the cooked ducks fly away, but Zhang Guan is still celebrating here, which broke the hearts of many British audiences. .

"Zhang Guan, he is too arrogant!"

"I really want to go down and beat him hard!"

"Okay, you go, beat me with my share! I'm cheering for you!"

"What's the use of cheering up? Have I ever beaten Zhang Guan! Little Klitschko was beaten by him, even if there were 10 of them, I couldn't beat one of him!"

"Okay, I'll help you refuel first, and then call an ambulance for you!"

On the other side, Big Brownlee finally crossed the finish line, and a dozen seconds behind him, Spanish player Noah was working hard, and more than 20 seconds behind Noah was his younger brother Brownlee.

"I actually lost, losing in front of the elders in my hometown! I'm not reconciled!" Big Brown clenched his fists tightly, and he couldn't wait to find the timing office, wanting to know Zhang Guan's results.

"I didn't see Zhang Guan's shadow in the final sprint. How much faster is Zhang Guan than me?"

Big Brownlee finally found the technical department and understood his own results.

1 hour, 46 minutes and 25 seconds, this is the final result of Big Brownlee. Considering that the bicycle has 43 kilometers, this result is a very good result.

"Where's Zhang Guan?" Big Brownlee continued to check the report card.

"1 hour, 45 minutes and 18 seconds! How is it possible? How is it possible to be so fast!" Big Brownlie's eyes widened, and then he saw a number that shocked him.

"At 28 minutes and 01 seconds, Zhang Guan ran 10 kilometers in only 28 minutes and 01 seconds! So fast? How could it be so fast! In the 10 kilometers of the triathlon, he actually ran a 10,000-meter long-distance race! The average person with sufficient physical strength Under the circumstances, it is impossible to run so fast!" Big Brownlee looked at the number with a downcast look.

In the final 10km long run, Big Brownlee's score was 29 minutes and 07 seconds, which was very close to the 29-point mark, but Zhang Guan was more than 1 minute faster than him!

At the end of the 43-kilometer cycle, Zhang Guan was only 1 second faster than Brownlee; and when the 10-kilometer long-distance race was over, Zhang Guan was 1 minute and 06 seconds faster than Brownlee!

Brownlee is best at long-distance running, and today, he was defeated by Zhang Guan in his best event, and he lost for a full 1 minute and 06 seconds. This number was printed in Brownlee's heart, like a devil, It made Brownlee terrified and helpless.

What is the concept of 28 minutes and 01 seconds? Taking the London Olympics as an example, the Olympic B standard for men's 10,000 meters is 28 minutes and 05 seconds, so a score of 28 minutes and 01 seconds is enough to participate in the Olympic men's 10,000 meters race.

But this result appeared in the triathlon. After swimming for 1.5 kilometers, riding a long distance of 43 kilometers, and after 1 hour and 16 minutes of physical exertion, he can still run 10,000 meters into the Olympic Games The B standard, the shock and shock it brought to Brownlee will definitely accompany him for the rest of his life.

...

In front of the TV, there was no anger in Sebastian's heart, but a feeling of helplessness.

"Lost, lost again, even lost the gold medal in the triathlon!" Sebastian leaned back on the seat, he felt that he had ridden another roller coaster today.

At the end of the 1.5-kilometer swim, Zhang Guan was two and a half minutes behind; at the end of the 43-kilometer bicycle, Zhang Guan was behind and was chased back; and at the end of the 10-kilometer long-distance race, Zhang Guan was 1 minute ahead. The process that Sebastian also experienced from great joy to great sorrow was really a roller coaster.

In the triathlon, there are only two competitions for men and women, and only two gold medals for men and women. In the eyes of many people, it is a small event. But in fact, this sport has a broad public base in developed countries in Europe and the United States. The sports stars born in the triathlon are as famous in Europe and the United States as the stars of such major events as track and field.

And this time, Britain lost the gold medal in the triathlon, perhaps more serious than any gold medal lost before!

Although road cycling is the strong point of the British, and the United Kingdom has also sent top players in the world to participate, countries such as France and Belgium are also very strong. In this event, the British team has never been the only one. Gold medals are also understandable.

In tennis, although Murray is playing locally and has high expectations, his world ranking is only at the fourth place at best. Before Murray, there are three kings of Federer, Nadal and Djokovic As well as Zhang Guan, a perverted player, Murray can win a silver medal, which can be regarded as the fulfillment of the pre-match goal.

In track cycling, although the British team occupies a dominant position, it is not a public event after all, and the threshold for participation is relatively high, so it is not popular among ordinary people. Just like shooting or gymnastics and other sports, no matter how strong the athletes are, it has nothing to do with ordinary people. In some places, it is not even possible to use BB bullets to make a balloon. Who cares about the accuracy of athletes' air rifles or air pistols? Not allowed? Therefore, although the British team lost the gold medal in track cycling, it only caused a momentary reaction at most.

But the triathlon is different. There are more than 200 triathlon clubs in the UK, and there are as many as 350 officially sanctioned triathlon events every year, almost every day. Primary and middle school students have competitions in the junior group, high school students have competitions in the youth group, and there are more competitions for adults. The sport of triathlon in the UK can almost be said to have started from the baby.

And before the game, everyone said that the Brownlee brothers' double insurance would win, and everyone thought that the gold medal belonged to Britain. But when the result came out, it was more than a minute behind others!

It was a big blow to the entire British delegation to blow it out but not to do it, to pretend to be coercive but not successful but to be slapped in the face by others!

Sebastian was thinking about how to resolve this matter and minimize the repercussions of the incident, when Zhang Guan's voice sounded on the TV again:

"First of all, I would like to thank Mr. Sebastian, the chairman of the IAAF and the chairman of the British Olympic Organizing Committee."

"Actually, I didn't intend to participate in the triathlon. After all, I am a track and field athlete. I should be on the track and field field. But the IAAF has restricted me from participating in track and field competitions, so I can only participate in the triathlon. After all, this sport is also related to track and field..."

"Absolute? Fuck! I'm a big-headed bastard! You are a sprinter! 100 meters, 200 meters, 400 meters, which one is not related to 10 kilometers!" Sebastian couldn't help cursing.
