Chapter 871 Second Gold (Make up 8)

German player Martin doesn't know how bitter the hearts of the British are now. After seeing Zhang Guan's results, he was still thinking about what speed he should use to finish the race.

"Zhang Guan finished the game in a total of 34 minutes and 10 seconds. Considering that he is the first player to start, his speed will be slightly slower. In contrast, my speed should be within 34 minutes, which is more appropriate. But 34 minutes Certainly not enough to win the gold medal, the British players have the home court advantage and they know the track very well, so I have to be faster.” Thinking of this, Martin couldn’t help looking at the British team not far away, but saw the British team. The coach is arguing with the stewards about something.

"What are the British doing?" Martin looked puzzled.

At this time, the British coach was pestering the tournament officials, asking for a review of Zhang Guan's game results.

"It is impossible for Zhang Guan to be so fast, 34 minutes and 10 seconds, our Wiggins is not so fast!" The coach of the British team continued: "There must be something wrong with Zhang Guan's performance, you must check his performance. Review!"

"I know what you said, but when Zhang Guan finished the competition, we had already conducted a preliminary review, and Zhang Guan's result was no problem!" Said the organizer rather innocently.

"Then review again, carefully review, and I want to participate!" The coach of the British team said.

The stewards of the tournament frowned slightly, re-reviewing the results meant that their workload would increase, not to mention that the British coach was not a referee or an official official. It was very unreasonable for him to ask to participate in the review of the results. Require.

The stewards of the competition wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it carefully, the British team is the host after all, so they finally agreed to the request of the British team and re-checked Zhang Guan's results in the presence of the British coach.

...

If it is an event that relies on referees to score, maybe something will happen, but cycling is a racing sport, and it is clear at a glance who is faster and who is slower.

The time of 34 minutes and 10 seconds is there, no matter how much it is reviewed, it is impossible for manpower to change the time. What time did Zhang Guan set off, what time did he come back, and how much time did he spend in total? These cannot be faked. Even if someone wants to do something wrong, there is nothing they can do. Everyone at the scene had a watch and could see the time. With so many eyes watching, it was impossible for the organizer to artificially increase the time for Zhang Guan.

This is also the fairness of racing sports, and it is also the reason why Zhang Guan does not participate in the scoring project. For sports such as diving and gymnastics that are scored by referees, it is easy to be blacked out by others. Even if others do not do as well as you, the referee can give a high score without conscience; no matter how good your movements are, the referee may also Give a low score. There's no reason for this. Even in scoring sports such as basketball, football, and table tennis, the referee can deliberately call a few fouls, which directly affects the final result of the game.

But in racing sports, fast is fast and slow is slow. The timer is there. As long as there is no foul, no one can change the result of the game. The stronger side is the champion!

Therefore, the British team asked for a review of the results, but in the end it was futile. It takes hard work to strike the iron. The British coach did this to find some comfort for himself.

...

The race continued, with one person starting every two minutes.

After Spain's Sanchez Gill started, it was American Feeney's turn, followed by German player Martin, British player Wiggins, and last Olympic champion Cancellara.

"In the first stage, as long as you can reach the first timing point within 8 minutes, you have a great chance to win the championship!" German player Martin is full of passion. He thinks that Zhang Guan can ride in the first stage If you get a score of 8 minutes and 20 seconds, then it is absolutely possible for you to spell an 8 minutes.

4 kilometers, 5 kilometers, 6 kilometers, the road signs on the side of the road remind Martin how much distance he has ridden.

"2 kilometers ahead, the first timing point!" Martin finally saw the sign of the timing point.

"There are still 2 kilometers until the first timing point!" Martin subconsciously looked at the timer he was carrying, and then immediately frowned.

"Slow, at this speed, it is impossible to reach the first timing point within 8 minutes, I have to go faster!" Martin thought of this, and tried to speed up.

Two minutes later, Martin crossed the first timing point. His score was 8 minutes and 22 seconds, which was 2 seconds slower than Zhang Guanlai. And this is the result that Martin only achieved when he rode with all his strength.

At this time, Martin was out of breath because he was riding so fast just now.

"When I reached the first timing point just now, it was already more than 8 minutes and 20 seconds, which is slower than Zhang Guan! I have already ridden so fast, how can I still be slower than Zhang Guan!"

Not only Martin, but American player Feeney, who passed the first timing point in 8 minutes and 31 seconds, also had the same idea.

"The situation is wrong. It took me more than 8 minutes and 30 seconds to pass the first timing point, but Zhang Guan only took 8 minutes and 20 seconds. Why is this happening? Why is Zhang Guan so much faster than me? It is me Is today's speed too slow!"

British player Wiggins passed the first timing point at 8 minutes and 27 seconds, which was 7 seconds slower than Zhang Guan.

"My result should be several seconds slower than Zhang Guan's. But this is also expected. It only took him 34 minutes and 10 seconds to finish the ride. I hope I don't lose too badly!"

...

American player Feeney passed the second timing point. At this time, his time has reached 23 minutes and 59 seconds, and it almost took 24 minutes.

"My timer shows that it took me almost 24 minutes to reach the second timing point, but Zhang Guan only took 22 minutes and 58 seconds! This is only 23.5 kilometers, and Zhang Guan is 1 minute faster than me! What are you doing? How come Zhang Guan, who is the first to appear, is one minute faster than me!"

Feeney couldn't help but start to blame himself.

Not long after, the German player Martin also passed here. Martin is worthy of the time trial expert. When he passed the second timing point, he spent a total of 23 minutes and 26 seconds.

"It's almost 23 minutes and a half, and I just reached the second timing point, but Zhang Guan actually rode to the second timing point within 23 minutes! I have tried my best, but why is the officer faster than me? So much?" At this moment, Martin suddenly had a glimmer of understanding.

"I understand, it's not that my speed is slow, but that Zhang Guan's speed is too fast! I was wrong, big mistake, I shouldn't take Zhang Guan's performance as a reference, his performance is originally a Extreme speed!"

After trying to understand this point, Martin suddenly felt that he was really ridiculous. He used Zhang Guan's performance as a reference before and set himself a faster result than Zhang Guan. However, now he finally found out that he even The level of "reference standard" is not as good!

"Shame on you, if you spread the word, you will definitely be laughed out of your teeth! It is clearly an unattainable number, but I regard it as a reference standard..."

A bitter smile appeared on Martin's face.

What makes Martin even more depressed is that in the first two stages, he has already consumed too much physical strength in order to surpass the "reference standard". In the next third stage, he may be much slower than usual.

...

The data of the players in front was continuously sent back to the starting point, which is also the end of the game, Hamton Palace.

"Christopher Fromm, the second timing point is 23 minutes and 38 seconds!"

"Marco Pinotti, 24 minutes and 04 seconds for the second timing point!"

"Taylor Feeney, 23 minutes and 59 seconds on the second clock!"

"Tony Martin, 23 minutes and 26 seconds for the second timing point!"

"Bradley Wiggins, 23 minutes and 14 seconds on the second tick!

"Fabian Cancellara, 23 minutes and 46 seconds for the second clock!"

The results one by one, accompanied by the names of big-name players, keep appearing in people's eyes. These are the top road cyclists in the world, and they are the favorites to win the Olympic Games!

And the fastest among them is only Wiggins' 23 minutes and 14 seconds, which is 16 seconds behind Zhang Guan's 22 minutes and 58 seconds!

With a distance of 23.5 kilometers, the difference is 16 seconds, which is almost a number that can make people desperate.

For those players who came back earlier, it took them more than 25 or 6 minutes to complete the second stage. Those players are not the top players in the world, and their results are not considered to be of reference value.

But it is different now. Now these results are all the results of the world's top players, and they are the results of the favorites to win the championship. Their results represent the highest level in the world.

But they are still much slower than Zhang Guan. It's not that one person is slower, but everyone is slower than Zhang Guan.

At this time, the coaches of each team suddenly realized how unbelievable it was that Zhang Guan reached the second timing point in 22 minutes and 58 seconds.

"I thought Zhang Guan was just an average score, but I didn't expect him to be the fastest one!"

"We all guessed wrong. Zhang Guan's result cannot be used as our reference standard at all, but should be considered as the fastest result!"

"Oops, if the players take Zhang Guan's results as the standard, will they have exhausted too much energy in the first two stages!"

"If one move is wrong, the whole game will be lost! I didn't expect Zhang Guan to be the first to start, and he could ride at the fastest speed."

"It's a pervert, it's a monster! Aren't the first ones to go to land mines? Zhang Guan is good, he got the fastest result."

"Don't the British have home court advantage? They should be familiar with this track, right? They are still behind Zhang Guan."

"In the second stage, we lead the second place by 16 seconds. It seems that this gold medal must belong to Zhang Guan!"
