Almighty Coach

It was the weekend again, and the Olympic Games came to the penultimate game day.

At the track and field, the women's high jump final started first.

Two players from the US team advanced to the finals, one was 32-year-old veteran Jennifer and the other was 18-year-old junior Ayman.

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

But it is such an American track and field team that has won 20 gold medals, refreshing the best results of the American team.

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

The number of 20 gold medals is too horrible, which fully shows the strong strength of the US team, not to mention that at this Olympic Games, the US team has created too many upsets in this stadium, there are old athletes Renewed youth, but also young athletes blockbuster. No one can guarantee that the next upset will happen immediately.

Li Dai's expression is very relaxed, because the women's high jump contestants are relatively average in strength, and there is no one that is very prominent, which also maximizes the benefits of the state of Libra.

A total of 17 athletes participated in today's finals. Originally, there were only twelve places in the finals. However, in the qualifying competition, six players could not skip the next height, so they could only come to the final together.

The starting height of the final is 1.88 meters. For the players who can enter the final, the first starting height is not too difficult, and all the contestants have successfully advanced.

The second height is 1.93 meters. This height disqualified the six players from continuing to compete.

Then the height reached 1.97 meters. At this height, the 18-year-old teenager of the US team was eliminated, and only five players were finally promoted, one Spanish player, one Bulgarian player, and one Russian player, an Italian player, and the 32-year-old veteran of the US team, Jennifer.

The next height is 2 meters. Surprisingly, no one of the five players can cross this height.

At this Olympic Games, the strength of the women's high jumpers is indeed somewhat unsatisfactory, not even skipping the height of 2 meters. It is important to know that the world record for this project is 2.09 meters, and the Olympic record is also 2.06 meters. In recent Olympics, it is only until 2.03 meters that the gold medal can be determined.

In this case, according to the rules, it can only be lowered. The game will reduce the height of the crossbar by 1 cm to 1.99 meters.

American veteran Jennifer started the first jump. For her, 1.99 meters should not be difficult to cross the height. When she was young, she could easily jump over 1.99 meters. Even if she is 32 years old, she does n’t think this How difficult it is.

Jennifer took a deep breath and began to run up. He took off in front of the crossbar and rolled over beautifully.

At 1.99 meters, Jennifer succeeded in one test jump.

On the American team, the coaching staff suddenly cheered up. This successful jump test means that Jennifer is already in an undefeated position.

Since this is the height after the drop, it is equal to the overtime after the regular game, so there is no need to finish all three test jumps. As long as someone succeeds in the test jump, others fail in the same round of test jumps, then Was eliminated from the game.

For example, if Lawrence succeeds in the first test jump, then if other athletes fail the first test jump, they do not need to perform the second test jump and will be eliminated. If someone from other players succeeds in the first test jump, the person who succeeded in the test jump will increase the height and continue the game until the victory or defeat is decided.

Therefore, after Lawrence succeeded in the first test jump, if the other four players want to continue to the next height, they must also succeed in the first test jump.

For the other four contestants, the pressure suddenly increased several times, which is equal to the opportunity of the original three test jumps, which directly became an opportunity.

Under pressure, the Italian players and the Croatian players failed one after another and were eliminated. This also gave the other two more pressure.

The Russian player who subsequently played, also failed in the test jump, which means that he and the Italian player and the Croatian player who failed before can at least get a bronze medal.

High jump games are allowed to appear in parallel silver or bronze medals, but there can only be one gold medal.

At this time, the eliminated players hope that the Spanish player who has not yet appeared will also fail the test jump. If the Spanish player fails the test jump, then the four of them will tie for runner-up and the bronze medal will also become a silver medal.

Perhaps it was the curse of these three people that worked. The Spanish player really hit the bar and she failed. All four of them won silver medals.

The only gold medal naturally belongs to the American veteran Lawrence.

...

"21 gold medals!" Downey's face was full of smiles, he continued: "If you count the last 4 times 400 meters relay race, we can get 23 gold medals!"

"23 gold medals are not enough. As I said before, we are going to impact 25 gold medals." Li Dai replied.

"Did you not give up this idea? 25 gold medals, this is too difficult, and it is two times worse than we expected. In fact, the 23 gold medals are already good enough. The Olympic track and field events have a total of 47 gold medals. We Half of it, are you still not satisfied? In this world, no country's track and field team can win 23 gold medals in the Olympic Games! "Downey said.

"Maybe it won't take long, you will see the 24th gold medal." Li Dai said as he pointed to the javelin's arena.

The final of the men's javelin is about to start.

"Are you talking about javelin?" Downey shook his head. "That's not always our strength."

"The previous men's pole vault is not our strong point." Li Dai replied with a smile.

"But in pole vaulting, Mueller's strength is very strong, we can't always count on, there is a Mueller in every event? Men's javelin, we only have Marcus Allen to advance to the final, I Do not think he will have the strength of Mueller. "Downey said.

Li Dai shook his head in disapproval: "In the pole vault event, our team's Mueller is very strong, but the opponent's strength is also very strong. The next men's javelin is different, our team Marcus- Although Allen ’s strength is more general, his opponent ’s strength is also more general. In sports competitions, the person who won the gold medal may not be the strongest person, but it must be the one who defeated all other opponents. To defeat all opponents, either you are strong enough or the opponents are weak. Since the strength of our competitors is already fixed, why not pray that the opponents are weaker? "

...

Twenty minutes later, Downey seemed to have forgotten what he had just said about Li Dai. He celebrated more than anyone else.

American player Marcus Allen really got the final gold medal, his score is 85 meters 38. The second-placed German player has a score of 85 meters and 32, which means that the US team won only 6 centimeters.

In the javelin movement, the gap of 6 centimeters is really very small. If calculated according to the total score of 85 meters, 6 centimeters is equivalent to seven ten thousandths. It was a pity that the German team lost the game with a gap of seven ten thousandths, and the American team was too thrilling to win.

And this 85 meters and 38 championship results is also the worst men's javelin in recent Olympics. The world record for the men ’s javelin is 98 meters 48, the Olympic record is also 90 meters 57, and the previous championships in the previous Olympic games have all been above 88 meters.

As Li Dai said before the game, the men's javelin contestants were not very strong in this Olympic Games. As an athlete, if you want to overcome nothing more than two possibilities, the first is that you are strong enough to beat everyone else; the second is that other people are weak enough to be a threat to you.

If you want to keep yourself strong, you can only continue to develop yourself, and you want others to be weaker than you. In addition to developing yourself, you can also weaken others. It's just that in sports, competition is relatively fair. As an athlete, there is basically no way to weaken competitors, because there must be someone who is better than you and harder than you, and athletes can only make themselves more Strong, and then defeat the opponent on the field.

...

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

This project, American player Ramon entered the finals. Ramon is 25 years old and has participated in many international competitions. He has won the IAAF Grand Prix. He is a strong and experienced player, and it is also rare in the US team that has not been affected by the stimulant smell scandal. athlete.

In terms of strength, Ramon has the possibility to win the championship, but the opponents facing Ramon are also not weak. Algeria, Uganda, Kenya and other countries in Africa all have strong players to participate.

This is another event where the strength of the contestants is relatively average, except that 1500 meters is not like a high jump or a javelin. The athletes do not have multiple opportunities to try, and the state scales can not play the effect.

"I can only watch Ramon's own play." Li Dai took a deep breath. He hoped that Ramon could bring him some surprises.

At this time, Ramon was already on the runway, but in his mind, it was the picture of the award ceremony of the men's javelin project.

As early as a dozen days ago, Ramon arrived in Rio de Janeiro with the US team. In the previous eight days, he also witnessed an American athlete win the championship and win the gold medal.

Among them, there are athletes such as Jimmy Elvin who ruled for an era, there are athletes such as Justin Alexander who paid after the suspension, and there are athletes such as Sean Ford who have not achieved good results for many years. Athletes such as Smet, who stopped in the first round of qualifying, also have athletes such as Franz Mueller who did not even qualify. And they all won gold medals.

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

Ramon felt that he should have an advantage over these players. He won the first place in the domestic competition in the United States. Even after the doping scandal broke out, it did not affect him.

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

He is also more experienced than athletes such as Metter and Mueller. He has participated in world-class competitions and won championships in the IAAF Grand Prix.

Compared with Lawrence and Maris Allen who just won the championship, Ramon is also better. He is not a mediocre athlete. His strength is top in the men's 1500 meters project.

"They can all get the gold medal, and I can too!" Ramon thought of the gold medal, and he was suddenly excited, and he became more confident.

In the eight days of track and field, he has envied too many times, and every day he can see several teammates showing off their gold medals. Today, Ramon is also going to fight for his own gold medal.

...

Li Dai looked at the timer on his hand.

"The speed of today's players is a bit slow. If we continue at this speed, the final result may be 3 minutes and 50 seconds away." Li Dai said to himself.

Men's 1500m is not a split run, so the speed of the players depends on the speed of the leader. In today's game, the speed of the leader is not fast, so it also suppresses other athletes relatively slowly.

The world record for this event is 3 minutes and 26 seconds, and the Olympic record is 3 minutes, 32 seconds and 07. If you only run a 3 minutes and 50 seconds, it is indeed a relatively unsatisfactory result.

"The speed in front is slower, and the players' physical strength will be more abundant. In this way, the final sprint will be extremely fierce." Downey said from the side.

"This may be an advantage for Ramon. He is not an athlete who is good at distributing and retaining physical strength, but he is very good at explosive sprints." Li Dai said.

As the head coach ~ www.readwn.com ~ Li Dai is naturally well aware of the advantages and disadvantages of his athletes.

Sure enough, after entering the last sprint, Ramon's speed became faster. In the last 100 meters, he was already in the leading position.

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

"Can we really get 25 gold?" Downey suddenly realized this.

At this point, Ramon started the final sprint. He first crossed the finish line, and the final result was exactly what Li Dai expected, exactly 3 minutes and 50 seconds.

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

Counting the 4x400m relay that has not yet been held, the US team can win five gold medals today.

In addition to the previous 20 gold medals, the American track and field team really won 25 gold medals in this Olympic Games.

The prediction made by Li Dai in an interview yesterday came true again!
