All-round Athlete

Chapter 896: Victory over Hoy (3rd watch)

The motorcycle in charge had already left the track, and the six contestants also started to start without hesitation, and then formed a long snake formation, following behind the motorcycle. Everyone is riding along, and there is no need to fight for a moment.

This situation seems fair, but for Hoy, it has an absolute advantage because he is playing at home.

In the Keirin race, the leading motorcycle will gradually accelerate from fast to slow, but the motorcycle is controlled by people after all, so how to operate the acceleration process depends entirely on the rider of the motorcycle. The motorcycle riders in the London Olympics are naturally members of the London Olympic Organizing Committee, and he will definitely be biased towards local British athletes.

The motorcycle rider at the scene had communicated with Hoy long before the race, and even practiced many times in private. Hoy is very familiar with how and at what pace a motorcycle rider will accelerate in a race.

Don't underestimate this little bit of familiarity. For example, in track cycling Keirin races, the players' final results may be only a few tenths of a second away, but the familiarity with leading motorcycles can help athletes save a little energy, and may be better than others. The key to a few tenths of a second.

The motorcycle began to accelerate gradually, and the riders behind also began to speed up the frequency of their feet, using the wake in front to speed up. At this time, there was no ups and downs during the race, and the auditorium was relatively quiet, except for the "beep" sound from the motorcycle engine, which was more obvious.

One lap, two laps... The speed of the motorcycle has been raised to a relatively fast level, and the speed of the players has also reached a relatively fast level.

A staff member held a big sign with the Arabic numeral "3" on it, which means that there are still three laps left in the race, and the players all know that the motorcycle is about to leave the track.

At this time, the motorcycle did not accelerate any further, and the driver maintained a relatively stable speed, which also stabilized the speed of the athletes. Then, the motorcycle turned on a turn signal, indicating that he was about to leave. A few seconds later, the motorcycle suddenly chose to accelerate, throwing off the athlete and leaving the runway.

Without the guidance of motorcycles, players need to rely on their own abilities to overtake their opponents and accelerate at will. The real competition is officially started at this moment

The surrounding auditorium erupted in an instant, cheering and shouting came and went, and the audience seemed not to care about shouting, they frantically directed at the athletes on the track, roaring loudly.

In fact, there are only two more laps left in the race. According to the speed of the cyclists, the final journey only takes about 20 seconds. That is to say, what the cyclists are facing is a sprint of more than 20 seconds, while the audience What they were facing was more than 20 seconds of shouting.

There are only more than two laps, and only more than 20 seconds. For any player, it is necessary to race against time. More importantly, there are six people on the track!

In track cycling competitions, there are only two riders competing on the same field, and there is a lot of space for overtaking. If you turn to the outside, there is room for overtaking, so even if it is the last corner, there is room for overtaking. hope.

However, in the Keirin race, there are six people on the field at the same time. The width of the track cannot accommodate so many players, and the space for overtaking is also fleeting, so the time for two laps is really too much for athletes. It was short.

Every second is so precious, and every opportunity is fleeting. Athletes cannot hesitate at all. The opportunity that is like a meteor passing by must be seized immediately.

The speed of the drivers has increased to more than 60 kilometers. At this time, the expressions of the drivers can no longer be seen clearly with the naked eye. People can only distinguish the identities of the athletes through their sportswear.

Hoy, red helmet, blue and white tracksuit, like the colors of the Union Jack.

Levi, a pure white sportswear with a black and white striped helmet, and black, red, and yellow stripes on his arms, just like the German flag.

Van Veersowen, with a black helmet with bright reflections, a pure black competition uniform, and even the position of the New Zealand flag is not very conspicuous.

Mulder, the orange in his racing suit is like a tulip, which is the national flower of the Netherlands and the favorite color of the Dutch.

Perkins, all in yellow, looks like a kangaroo hopping on the land of Australia.

Zhang Guan, on the other hand, is bright red, like flames, like blood, and his helmet is also red, and on the top, there is a Peking Opera face of Guan Gong, with fierce eyebrows and wide-eyed eyes!

In the past, Guan Gong passed five tests; today, Zhang Guan will beat these five in a row!

...

"Sir Hoy is in the lead, and someone is catching up behind him, it's Zhang Guan! Zhang Guan is trying to overtake! Can you, can you succeed!"

Amid the narrator's shouts, Zhang Guan was almost neck and neck with Huo Yi. The other athletes have already been left behind by them. It seems that the final champion will be between Zhang Guan and Huo Yi.

The race has entered the final lap, and Hoy has tried his best, showing all his cards in order to be faster.

Beside Huo Yi, Zhang Guan is also desperately trying. He has already held his breath, and he is pedaling with all his strength. At this time, Zhang Guan seems to feel that he is in a 100-meter sprint race. All of his explosive power is used under his feet.

At this time, there is no wake to use, and the competition is who is faster and who is stronger.

"Sir Hoy, Zhang Guan, who is faster!"

Everyone stretched their necks and stared at the two athletes intently, for fear of missing any second of the exciting scene. At the same time, they are still shouting, they are cheering for Huo Yi, cheering for the flag in their hearts!

However, no sound could be heard in Huo Yi's ears. At this moment, he had already put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind. There was only one thought in his mind, and that was the champion.

Entering the final corner, the two were neck and neck.

In the corner, the two drove side by side.

Out of the corner, the two were neck and neck.

The end is at hand.

In the next moment, Zhang Guan's wheel surpassed Hoy's wheel by a thumb's distance.

Immediately afterwards, it is the distance of an index finger, and then the distance of a hand. Then, it's time to cross the line!

The distance of a hand length is about one-fourth to one-fifth of the diameter of the bicycle wheel, which is the gap that can be seen by the naked eye. However, when the athletes cross the line, the speed of the car has already exceeded 70 kilometers per hour. Under such a fast situation, not all positions can clearly see the difference in hand length, or most of the positions in the audience seats , cannot see the difference clearly.

"Who won? Who actually won?"

"It was too fast to see clearly, but I think the winner must be Sir Howy."

"Sir Howy will win! He will definitely be able to defeat Zhang Guan!"

"Look, the rankings are out!" Someone pointed to the monitor on the sidelines, and the six players had already appeared on it in order of their respective rankings. And the name on the top is Zhang Guan!

"The first place is Zhang Guan!"

There was an uproar in the audience at the scene.

"Losing. Sir Howy lost!"

"We lost, we lost!"

"Impossible, I don't believe it, I must have made a mistake! How could Sir Hoy lose? It is impossible for Sir Hoy to lose!"

"The monitor is broken, or the ranking is wrong. Sir Hoy is so powerful, he is invincible, how could he lose to Zhang Guan!"

The British audience dared to believe what they saw before them. Sir Hoy, the pride of British sports and the flag of British athletes, collapsed at this moment.

"I lost!" Sir Howy lowered his head, even though he was 36 years old, he still couldn't hold back the tears from his eyes.

"I really should retire!" Hoy seemed to be 10 years old at this moment. A Hoy who couldn't bring the gold medal to Britain has lost his value as an athlete!

...

"First of all, I would like to thank Mr. Sebastian, the chairman of the IAAF and the chairman of the British Olympic Organizing Committee." When Zhang Guan was interviewed, he made up for Sebastian again.

However, this time, the same words had a very different effect.

Because this time, it was Sir Hoy who lost the game! is the flag of british athletes

It didn't matter to the Brit that Tour de France winner Wiggins lost. Before winning the Tour de France, Wiggins could only be regarded as an excellent driver and did not bring much honor to Britain.

It doesn't matter to the British that Rutherford lost in the long jump event. Zhang Guan is the world record holder in the long jump. It is normal for Rutherford to lose the game.

In the 10,000-meter long-distance race, Farah lost, and the British can ignore it. Farah is just a Somali refugee, not a native British. In the eyes of many conservative British, this kind of naturalized athlete cannot truly represent the United Kingdom. .

Murray's loss in tennis is not something to be upset about for the British. After all, there are so many tennis masters and the competition is too fierce. Murray was able to kill Federer and get a silver medal, which is the best he has done.

Kenny's loss in the individual track cycling competition may be the beginning of the British people's distress. After all, in this event, the UK is very hopeful to win the championship.

Triathlon lost, which really made the British unacceptable.

And today, Huo Yi lost, this is the athlete who cannot lose the most, and the game that he cannot afford to lose! It was a game that the whole of England could afford to lose.

...

When the awards ceremony ended, it was less than six o'clock in the afternoon in London, and it was still very bright in the summer of August.

The audience poured out of the Olympic Velodrome, but instead of going home, they spontaneously walked to the office of the London Olympic Organizing Committee.

This is the angry crowd!

They want to protest!

Huo Yi lost, someone has to be responsible for it!

They want Sebastian in charge!

They want Sebastian to step down!
