Victory over Gatlin

Osaka.

As soon as Zhang Guan got off the plane, he was surrounded by a large number of media reporters, and at the same time, he had dozens of fans.

Zhang Guan never thought that he had such high popularity in Japan as if he was a superstar, which made Zhang Guan feel like he was floating. In subsequent interviews before the game, Zhang Guan did not meet any unruly reporters.

On the match day, Zhang Guan also met many acquaintances, such as Habebe of Kazakhstan, Chenofe of Hazardite, Xuanzhi, and Naoki Tsukahara of Japan, and so on. As for the American team, Maurice Greene did not come, but Justin Gatlin did, and a player named Tyson Gay also appeared on the field.

Zhang Guan knew that after Bolt became famous, Tyson Gay was called "the second flying man in the world" because his results were second only to Bolt. He is the second person after Bolt to run within 9.70 seconds in 100 meters. He is also regarded by the Americans as the successor of legendary track and field superstar Michael Johnson.

It is worth mentioning that Tyson Gay is also a very technical athlete and a runner.

Like Bolt, Tyson Gay's earliest practice was a 200-meter sprint, and later he added a 100-meter sprint. Unlike Bolt, Tyson Gay also developed a 400-meter sprint technique. In 2010, Tyson Gay became the first player in the world to simultaneously run into the 100m10s, 200m20s, and 400m45s barriers. Although Tyson Guy is not the world's top special 400m athlete in the 400m event, it is undeniable that he is indeed an all-around sprinter.

In the course of history, at the end of the world track and field finals, Tyson Gay would rise, and at this time he is only a 23-year-old green player, who has not yet achieved anything in the world level competition, even when he was younger than Zhang Guan, Gay seemed a little scared.

Zhang Guan is the world record holder after all.

And he is also a native Asian player, so he undoubtedly has the highest popularity in this field. Even the native Japanese veteran Xuanzhi has lower popularity than Zhang Guan.

The 100-meter sprint is still ranked behind the 110-meter hurdles.

Liu Feiren's condition is very good today, but his old opponent American Alan Johnson did not come to participate. This is more or less a pity. Other opponents are not worth mentioning in front of Liu Feiren. Liu Feiren also left a hand in the final, but still won the championship with a good result of 13.12 seconds.

The next is the long-awaited 100m trapeze battle between the audience. Zhang Guan against the old opponent Gatlin is also the main highlight of this IAAF Osaka Grand Prix.

Gatlin's condition this year is much better than last year. In the past two months, he has repeatedly achieved good results in some track and field competitions held in the United States. This is also the case. He decided to participate in the Osaka Grand Prix and once again issued a challenge to Zhang Guan.

Faced with the challenge of Gatlin, Zhang Guan seemed very calm. Although he has been practicing 200 meters these days, it may be because of the large amount of practice on weekdays. Zhang Guan's state is still quite good. Currently, his competitive state was 79, which was enough for Zhang Guan to run within 9.85 seconds. This result can be won in the general world-class track and field Grand Prix.

...

Gatlin glanced at Zhang Guan, then raised his head and closed his eyes slowly. Scenes flashed from his mind.

Gatlin remembered the Athens Olympics. He went to the finals in general. He saw that Greene had consumed too much energy in the semi-finals. At that time, he could even be sure that he had won the Olympic gold medal. However, in the game, he was working hard to compete with other athletes for the second!

Gatling again remembered last year's Yokohama All-Star Game. He rushed from the United States to Japan to prove his strength to the world, and then ended up competing with other athletes for the second!

"Second? It's the second place again! Go to his forked second!" Gatlin opened his eyes fiercely, "I'm here to fight for the first, not for shit second! Zhang Guan, I will fight today I will do my best to defeat you! I want the championship! "

...

The starter signaled that the athletes were ready, then shouted the password, raised the gun, and pulled the trigger.

Zhang Guan's condition is good, he rushed out the first time, and his starting reaction time was very good.

However, Gatlin used pressure gun-running tactics and achieved success. He was the first to break out of the starting line and achieved a leading advantage at the first moment.

Today's Gatlin is prepared. He is accelerating very quickly. He is ready to use the pressure gun to run the lead and continue to expand his advantage. And Zhang Guan was not to be outdone. He was almost close to Gatlin, and there was still a slight gap between the two at the start.

The audience's heart suddenly tightened seeing this. At the beginning of the game, Zhang Guan and Gatlin were about to meet short-handedly. This looks very exciting, and according to this situation, the following game will be more exciting.

After forty meters, the athlete's speed has already reached its peak value. At this time, for top athletes, the contest has just begun. However, there was still a slight gap between Zhang Guan and Gatlin.

Fifty meters, Zhang Guan still failed to catch up with Gatlin.

At sixty meters, the two had led the other players, but Zhang Gua was still slightly behind Gatlin.

Zhang Guan has noticed that today's Gatlin is a bit different. His condition is very good, so at this time his speed is very fast, it is almost comparable to himself.

"When was Gatlin so strong! Did he hit the chicken blood? I couldn't keep up with him." Zhang Guan was annoyed. Then he suddenly remembered that in the two previous contests with Gatling, he took the physical potion and the state potion, and both broke the world record. But in those two fights in the world, Gatlin was showing extremely fast speed, and Zhang Guan believed that Gatlin was weak only because he broke the world record and was indeed much faster than Gatlin.

"If it weren't for me, Gatlin would be the 100-meter champion of the Athens Olympics! I used to despise him too much..." Zhang Guan realized this and then focused more.

...

Members of the coaching staff watching from a distance are also nervous.

From the start to the present, in just five or six seconds, there was already a trace of sweat on the forehead of the coach. He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes widened, and his heart was silently cheering for Zhang Guan.

Yu Gui hasn't felt this kind of nervousness for a long time. Since the Athens Olympics, Zhang Guan has experienced smooth sailing, leading to winning the championship. Although Zhang Guan's condition is good today, Gatlin's condition is also good. Yu Gui felt a long-lost tension and excitement.

Not far away, Gatlin's coach Graham's expression was similar to that of the coach, but his heart was much more active than the coach.

"Although Zhang Guan is not as fast as when he broke the world record last year, it is still very fast! I don't know how the Chinese are trained. A yellow man can be so fast! We have already used that method, But he couldn't beat Zhang Guan yet." Graham thought.

Graham is a famous American coach. He has coached many championship-level American players, including Tim Montgomery, who broke the world record in 9.78 seconds, and Marion Jones, a legendary American flying woman.

At the same time, Graham is also a coach with a "former conviction". The so-called "former convict" means that among the athletes he taught, there are precedents for using illegal drugs, including Tim Montgomery and Marion Jones.

...

On the track, the two athletes have entered the final 20m contest.

"Hurry up! Hurry up! I can't lose!" Zhang Guan tried to mobilize his emotions, and his feet were also violently exerting force.

Finally, he caught up with Gatlin in this second.

The two go hand in hand!

"Zhang Guan is catching up! He is catching up! But I won't lose!" Gatlin noticed that the slight lead at the start had disappeared, and he didn't panic. Instead, he looked more aggressive.

The world's most advanced content is only ten meters, and the last ten meters, for the two top athletes, it does not even take 1 second to run.

The victory and defeat are only in a flash, the two athletes are still fighting, they will not give up, they are eager to win!

"It's the end of the fight!" Zhang Guan made a line-crossing motion, his body leaned forward violently, and his head also stretched forward. At this moment, Zhang Guan almost lost his balance while crossing the finish line. Suddenly, he had to twist his body to keep his balance. Zhang Guan at this time does not know who ultimately won.

Gatlin also made a line-crossing action at the finish line. He didn't look at Zhang Guan. He only had the finish line in his eyes. His burning eyes were full of yearning for the champion.

Cross the line!

"Did I win?" The idea emerged from the minds of Zhang Guan and Gatlin at the same time.

However, from the perspective of God, Zhang Guan seems to be ahead.

Both Zhang Guan and Gatling slowed down, and the two looked at the scoreboard almost simultaneously.

Gatling, 9.83 seconds.

And Zhang Guan is 9.82 seconds, Zhang Guan wins by 0.01 seconds!

Immediately afterward, cheers rang out in the national team's camp, while the American team looked a little frustrated.

Seeing this result, Gatlin sighed slightly, "It's second! Damn it! I lost again!"

...

The process for athletes to take urine specimens is very strict. The first step is to take off the clothes, not just the pants, but also the top. According to the regulations, the pants must be taken off below the knee and the top should be lifted below the chest. This is to avoid athletes hiding samples in their clothes in advance. At least two sets of containers for sample collection must be prepared in advance. Each set must have at least two containers, which must be transparent and unopened so that athletes can observe whether there is anything else in it. Before taking the sample, the athlete chooses one set of containers to use.

In the process of taking the sample, the staff handed the container to the athlete. The athlete would first collect the sample in one of the containers, and then pour part of the collected sample into another container, and then seal the container by themselves. Although during this whole process, they are supervised by the staff, the staff will never handle it, and it is all done by the athletes themselves. This is also to avoid the staff secretly mixing some other things in the sample. Then the staff will put a seal on the container in front of the athlete, and even let the athlete write or mark the seal, and then put it in the storage box of the copy, all of which must be monitored by the athlete's sight.

Two bottles of samples, one of which will be used for urinalysis, and the other as a preserved specimen. Once the athlete is found to have used illegal drugs during the urine test, another bottle of the remaining sample will be tested. During the re-test, from the sampling, unpacking, to the subsequent test, the athlete or coach will be allowed to witness the whole process.

The whole process above is complicated to say, and more than thirty operating specifications can be listed specifically, but once the athlete is more proficient, the operation is also very fast. Zhang Guan also experienced the situation of taking samples many times, so it quickly became a simple sample collection process.

Soon after, the staff completed all sample collection work for athletes who needed to be sampled. He placed the samples in a special box and prepared to send the samples to the testing center.

But after he took a few steps, a man with a mask next to him suddenly rushed over, grabbed the box containing the athlete's sample, and ran away with his legs.
