On the weekend, the Olympic Games also reached the second day of the countdown.

In the track and field, the first to start is the final of the women's high jump project.

The U.S. team has two players to advance to the final, one is 32-year-old veteran Jennifer, and the other is 18-year-old young general Ayman.

Old and small, this situation is also a true portrayal of the American track and field team at this Olympic Games, and this situation often occurs in other projects.Affected by the doping scandal, most of the backbone of American athletics has not come, so it can only rely on veterans who are no longer at the top and have not yet grown up.

But it is also such a U.S. track and field team, has won 20 gold medals, refreshing the best results of the U.S. team.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of athlete who is not at the top will not be optimistic, but today is different, the players from other countries have shown enough attention to this old and young, because they are American athletes.

The number of 20 gold medals is too terrible, which fully shows the strong strength of the American team, not to mention that at this Olympic Games, the United States team has created too many cold doors in this stadium, there are old athletes rejuvenated, and young athletes are amazing.No one can guarantee that the next cold will happen immediately.

Li Dai's expression is very relaxed, because the women's high jumpers, the average strength is relatively, there is no athlete is very prominent which one, which also makes the state scale's income can be maximized.

Today's finals have a total of 17 athletes, the original final number is only 12, but in the qualifiers, there are six players can not jump the next height, so they can only come to the final together.

The starting height of the final is 1.88 meters, and for the players who can enter the final, the first starting height will not be too difficult, and all the participants have successfully promoted.

The second height is 1.93 meters, which disqualifies the six players from continuing.

Then the height reached 1.97 meters, at this height, the 18-year-old of the United States team was eliminated, and only five players eventually won the promotion, namely a Spanish player, a Bulgarian, a Russian player, an Italian player, and the United States team's 32-year-old veteran Jennifer.

The next height is 2 meters, and surprisingly, no one of the five players was able to cross this height.

In this Olympic Games, the strength of women's high jumpers is indeed somewhat unsatisfactory, and even the height of 2 meters has not been skipped.It is necessary to know that the world record of this project is 2.09 meters, the Olympic record is also 2.06 meters, and in the recent Olympic Games, it is necessary to reach more than 2.03 meters before you can decide the ownership of the gold medal.

This situation, according to the rules can only be reduced, the crossing height will be reduced by 1 cm, into 1.99 meters.

American veteran Jennifer was the first to start to try to jump, for her, 1.99 meters should not be difficult to cross the height, when she was young, she can easily jump 1.99 meters, even if she is 32 years old, do not feel how difficult this height is.

Jennifer took a deep breath, began to run, vacated in front of the crossbar, and beautifully crossed over.

1.99 meters, Jennifer a try to jump was a success.

On the U.S. side, the coaching staff cheered, and this successful test jump meant that Jennifer was already in an unbeaten position.

Since this is the height after the drop, it is equivalent to the overtime after the regular game, so there is no need to jump all three times, as long as someone tries to jump successfully, others in the same round of test jump failure, then will be eliminated from the game.

For example, Lawrence was successful in the first test jump, so if other athletes failed in the first test jump, they did not need to do a second test jump and would go straight out.And if other players also have a successful first jump, then the successful jump will increase the height and continue to play until the decision is won.

So after Lawrence's first test jump was a success, the other four players who wanted to move on to the next level had to be successful on the first jump.

For the other four competitors, the pressure suddenly increased several times, which is equivalent to the original three attempts to jump, directly into an opportunity.

Under pressure, the Italian players and the Croatian players have failed and were eliminated, which also gave the other two more pressure.

Then the Russian players on the field also failed to jump, which means that he and the previous failed Italian players, Croatia players, at least one bronze medal.

High jumps are allowed to appear in silver or bronze medals, but only one gold medal can be played.

At this time, these eliminated players are more likely to hope that the Spanish player who has not yet appeared also tried to fail, once the Spanish players try to jump failure, then the four of them will be tied for the runner-up, the bronze medal will become silver.

Perhaps the curse of these three people worked, and the Spanish player did indeed hit the crossbar, and she failed.All four of them won silver medals.

The only gold medal, of course, belongs to American veteran Lawrence.

...

“Teven gold medals!”Downey's face was full of smiles, he continued: "In the last 4 rides 400 meters relay, we can win 23 gold medals!"

"Tthree gold medals is not enough, I said before, we're going to hit 25 gold."Lee answered.

“Haven’t you given up on that idea yet?25 gold medals, which is too difficult, and we expected two.In fact, 23 gold medals is good enough.There are a total of 47 gold medals in the Olympic Games, and we have won half of them.No country in the world has a track and field team that can win 23 gold medals in one Olympic Games!Donny said.

"Maybe it won't be long before you see the 24th gold medal."Li Dai said as he pointed to the javelin field.

The men’s javelin final is about to begin.

“You mean the gun?”Downey shook his head: "That has never been our strength."

"The men who were before pole vaulting weren't our strengths."Li Dai replied with a smile.

"But in the pole vault project, Muller is very strong, we can't expect, there is a Mueller on every project, right?"Men's Javelin, we only have Marcus Allen to advance to the final, I don't think he will have the same quality as Muller."Donny said.

Li Dai shook his head in disapproval: "In the pole vault project, our team's strength of Muller is very strong, but the strength of the opponent is also very strong."The next men's javelin is different, although the strength of our team Marcus Allen is relatively general, but the strength of the opponent is also more general.In the sports competition, the person who won the gold medal is not necessarily the strongest person, but it must be the person who defeated the other opponent.As for how to defeat all opponents, either they are strong enough or their opponents are weak.Since the strength of our players is relatively fixed, why not pray that the opponents are weaker?”

...

Twenty minutes later, Downey seemed to have forgotten what he had just done to Lee Dai, who celebrated more joy than anyone else.

Marcus Allen of the United States won the final gold medal, his score is 85 meters 38.The second German player scored 85 meters 32, which means that the US team won only 6 centimeters.

In the javelin movement, the gap of 6 cm is really minimal, if calculated according to the total score of 85 meters, 6 cm to the equivalent of seven parts per thousand.Losing the game by seven per cent, Germany lost too much regret, and the United States won it was too dangerous.

And this 85m 38 championship result is also the worst victory of the men's javelin in recent Olympic Games.The world record for the men's Javelin is 98 meters 48, the Olympic record is also 90 meters 57, and the previous Olympic champion's results are also above 88 meters.

As Li Dai said before the game, this Olympic Games, the men's Javelin players, the strength is not very strong.As an athlete, if you want to win, it is two possibilities, the first is that you are strong enough to beat everyone else; the second is that everyone else is weak enough to be a threat to you.

If you want to keep yourself strong, you can only keep developing yourself, and wanting others to be weaker than you, you can weaken others in addition to developing yourself.But in sports, the competition is relatively fair, as an athlete, there is basically no way to weaken the competitors, because there will be someone better than your talent, more than you work harder, athletes can only make themselves stronger, and then beat the opponent on the field.

...

On the track, the final of the men’s 1500m is about to begin.

For this project, American Ramon reached the final.Ramon, 25, has also participated in many international competitions, has won the IAAF Grand Prix, is a strong and experienced player, but also a rare athlete in the United States team that has not been affected by the doping odor scandal.

In terms of strength, Ramon has the possibility of winning the championship, but Ramon's opponent is also not weak, and Algeria, Uganda, Kenya and other countries in Africa have strong players to participate.

This is a relatively average strength of the participants of the project, but 1500 meters is not like a high jump or a Javelin, the athletes do not have the opportunity to try many times, the state Libra can not play an effect.

"I can only watch Ramon play on his own."Li Dai took a deep breath, and he hoped Ramon could bring him some surprises.

At this time, Ramon has stood on the runway, but in his mind, it is just a picture of the award ceremony of the men's javelin project.

As early as ten days ago, Ramon arrived in Rio de Janeiro with the United States team, and in the previous eight days of the competition, he also witnessed an American athlete win the championship and win the gold medal.

Among them, there are Jimmy Irwin such an athlete, there are Justin Alexander after the ban and pay the athletes, there is Sean Ford, who has not achieved good results for many years, there are athletes such as Ellis Meight, who stopped the first round of the qualification, and there are also athletes such as Franz Muller who have not even participated in the qualification.And they all won gold medals.

In today's game, Ramon witnessed the veteran Lawrence and the mediocre Marcus Allen win the championship, at which time Ramon's heart has already begun to stir.

Ramon felt that he should have an advantage over these players.He won the first place in the domestic trials in the United States, and even if the doping scandal broke out later, it did not affect him.

Compared with Alvin, Alexander and Ford, he is not old, and 25 years old is the peak age of a track and field athlete.

He is also more experienced than Mette and Muller, who has participated in world-class competitions and won the IAAF Grand Prix.

Compared with the just-winning Lawrence, Maris Allen, Ramon is also more outstanding, he is not the kind of mediocre athlete, his strength in the men's 1500 meters project is top-notch.

“They can all win gold medals, and I can too!”Ramon thought of the gold medal, his heart suddenly excited, he also more confident.

He has been envious of the eight competition days of track and field, and every day he can see several teammates showing off their gold medals.Today, Ramon is also going to fight for a gold medal of his own.

...

Lee looked at the timer in his hand.

"Today the pace of the players is a bit slow, at this rate, the final result is probably 3 minutes and 50 seconds away."Li Dai said to himself.

The men's 1500m is not a split run, so the speed of the runners depends on the speed of the runners, and in today's race, the speed of the runners is not fast, so the other athletes are also suppressed more slowly.

The world record for this project is 3 minutes and 26 seconds, and the Olympic record is 3:32.07, if it is just a 3 minutes and 50 seconds, it is indeed a relatively unsatisfactory result.

"The speed in front is relatively slow, the physical strength of the players will be more abundant, so that if you come, the last round of sprint, the competition will be particularly fierce."Donny said from the side.

“This may be an advantage for Ramon.He's not a good athlete who distributes and retains his physical strength, but he's very good at bursting sprints."Li Dai said.

As a head coach, Li Dai naturally knows the advantages and disadvantages of his athletes.

Unsurprisingly, after entering the last lap of the sprint, Ramon’s speed grew faster, and the last 100 meters, he was already in the leading position.

"This game should be won."Li Dai also gave his own judgment at this time.

“Can we really get 25 cents?”Donny suddenly realized this.

At this time, Ramon began the final sprint, he was the first to cross the finish line, and the final result was exactly 3 minutes and 50 seconds as Li Dai expected.

Unconsciously, today's U.S. track and field team has won three gold medals.

And without counting the four-to-400-meter relay that has not yet been held, the U.S. team can win five gold medals today.

Coupled with the previous 20 gold medals, the US track and field team really won 25 gold medals in this Olympic Games.

The prophecies issued by Li Dai in an interview yesterday have come true again!
