On the runway, forthcoming is men's 800 meters finals.
On the stand, had the audience has played „the eighth gold medal” the slogan.
The athletes prepare the area, a player expression dignified is looking at the runway before body, in the innermost feelings is actually waging the intense struggle.
„Ramzy uses the stimulant exposure may really not be the time, it is said IAAF and international anti-doping organization had sent, following stimulant examination also strict. What to do should I? Also can continue to try to win the medal?” This athlete thinking of silently.
It is not each athlete will participate in the examination of stimulant, but the stimulant examination is actually one compared with one strict, at 2004 Athens Olympic games, altogether has probably carried on 3600 stimulant examinations, but to 2008, stimulant examination has achieved 4500 times. According to 2008 rule of stimulant examination, the first five famous metropolises of all sports must participate in the examination of stimulant, moreover in other players, will also carry on the random spot-check examination. Moreover is not all examinations is the urine tests, in 4500 examinations, but also has included about 900 blood examinations.
Not only the athlete affirmation of use stimulant a Ramzy person, especially the track and field meet, is always the wealthy and powerful family of stimulant use, besides individual, will take the country to occur as unit the situation of association use stimulant. But under at present this stimulant examination rule, so long as cannot run first five, can dodge the examination of stimulant.
Some athletes use the stimulant, is in a lucky psychology, they thought that will unable to look up to use, but Ramzy's event will make the stimulant examination severe, this has also cancelled leaving things to chance of many person. They must make a choice between the competition result and careers.
This choice is very difficult, an athlete attended Olympic Games, naturally to make the good progress, four years time Olympic Games, to any athlete is incomparably important. Golden age such several years of athlete, some people for a lifetime also can only attend time Olympic Games, they are not certainly willing to give up an impact medal the opportunity.
However these have used the athletes of stimulant, to preserve the future career, must choose to give up, if abandons the match directly, may cause other people's suspicion, might as well run in the competition on the contrary intentionally a quite backward position, then evades the inspection of stimulant.
Since Ramzy's event occurred, some athletes withdrew from competition of Olympic medal in disguised form.
Naturally, competent player disdains in truly using some despicable methods obtains the competition to win, but in forthcoming 800 m final, has the strength player many.
Bahraini player Karmel, he had won 800 meters bronze medal at four years ago Athens Olympic games, won 800 meters championship at two years ago track and field World Cup, he is after Ramzy, the Bahraini team attacks in history another high hope of first gold medal.
At two years ago Asian Games, Karmel had a contest with Zhang Guan, finally Zhang Guan broke the Asian record, but Karmel can only occupy second. Today they meet in the competition once more, moreover Ramzy's Olympic Games silver medal was cancelled because of the stimulant, therefore Karmel is hopes the enterprise that obviously completes Ramzy not to complete, wins a gold medal for the Bahraini team.
Kenyan player Korvua, calculates on is at present in the athletic field the most influential player, he is the world champion who a last year international championship 800 meters middle distance ran, the athlete of second world champion rank besides Karmel. But for him also the good news, he was Kenya has two players both to enter 800 meters finals, they can carry on some tactical coordination in the competition.
Another player star nation Gaye of Kenya, he is not the popular player of winning. But in fact, a 800 meters middle distance in world runs at present is the time that outstanding heroes rise together simultaneously, once world champion cannot even guarantee that attains a medal, likely is Sudanese player Ismail, Cuban player Lopez, Canadian player Reed , is very competent.
Zhang Guan obviously is the most well-known player, he will attack the eighth gold medal matter, is the entire world the well-known matter, but he from 100 meters to 1500 meters five projects, 800 meters has not only broken the new world record.
Even if were Zhang Guan has won this 800 meters Olympic gold medal, if cannot break the world record, regarding certain had the audience of obsession unable to endure. But Zhang Guan as 400 meters and 1500 meters world record holder, breaks the person of 800 meters world record obviously hopefully.
However Zhang Guan actually knows whether he can break the world record, does not depend on him, but depends on other players to run quickly, this is „follows runs” the skill biggest shortcoming. This time Zhang Guan cannot help but recalls 1500 meters competition, if not Ramzy in the competition goes crazy from the beginning leading, he is also not necessarily have the opportunity to break 1500 meters world record.
„Hopes in 800 meters competition , the workaholic will lead in front!” Zhang Guan thinking silently.
This 800 meters finals, although does not have the American players to participate, but the audiences in US similarly are actually paying attention to this competition, once the crown wins the gold medal, he will tie Phelps Olympic Games to obtain eight gold medals result. But in men's basketball team semifinal that some time ago just ended, China entered the finals, therefore Zhang Guan will win inevitably also a silver medal, 8 gold/metal 1 silver, Zhang Guan will also exceed Phelps in the total medal number.
The audiences in US do not hope obviously Zhang Guan exceeds Phelps, but the audiences in China hopefully are actually anticipating this gold medal.
On the stand, one group of audiences have completed „in history spontaneously the greatest athlete” the product label, waits for Zhang Guan to obtain gold medal that moment to lift, but the sponsors are ready to fight, many sponsors have prepared the advertisement of update.
In this atmosphere, Zhang Guan has stepped onto the athletic field, however in his side, several eyes is actually staring at him.
Karmel, Korvua and nation Gaye, Ismail these people are in the world the most outstanding 800 meters athlete, they come for the champion, to this situation, they are is certainly impossible to choose to give up, they are impossible the acquired champion who made Zhang Guan achieve wishes, or each of them, hopes that can ambush Zhang Guan.
Nation Gaye arrives at side Karmel, he opens the mouth to ask: „Did Karmel, consider? Ismail has decided to join, now looks your! You, I and Korvua, in addition Ismail, our four people stick together, ambushes Zhang Guan together! After waiting opening the crown eliminates the winning team, among us again one high under.”
What nation Gaye said is the Swahili language, this is Africa uses very widespread one language, is African number of users most one language, in Africa, the Swahili language sometimes even compared with many that English is effective.
Nation Gaye is a Kenyan, the Swahili language is one of the Kenyan official languages, but comes Karmel is Kenya naturalizes the player to Bahrain, he also will certainly speak the Swahili language, but that Sudanese player Ismail will speak the Swahili language similarly, because of Sudan with the country of Kenyan border, but in that region, such as the Congo and Uganda, waits for the country, the people will speak the Swahili language.
Seven gold medals, the world records of six projects, open the crown good athletic state to make each player feel frightened, they realized that is only their someone the strength, is unable to ambush Zhang Guan.
The good 800 meters are one and project of running, therefore they can cooperate, several people form an alliance together, can use some more tactics in the competition.
Therefore the athletes in two Kenya coordinate, they have contacted with Sudanese player Ismail, as well as Karmel of ancestral home Kenya, they must form an alliance, alliance that ambushes Zhang Guan.
Nation Gaye uses the Swahili language, obviously does not need to be worried that was heard by other players, did not fear that was heard by Zhang Guan, even if heard Zhang Guan unable to understand. But this time Karmel somewhat hesitates, he after all is the athlete of world champion rank, he has his pride, making him go to and several other players cooperates, ambushes Zhang Guan using the tactic, this makes him feel that is not very willingly.
„Karmel, thinks Ramzy! He runs that quick, he has even exceeded Kuiluoyi, but he was still not Zhang Guan the match! That pitiful Boulter of Jamaica, breaks the result of world record twice, but has run twice into Zhang Guan.” Nation Gaye opens the mouth to say.
Karmel awakens first suddenly, he knows, oneself in 800 meters does not have what dominant strength, is inferior to Ramzy in 1500 meters, is inferior to 100 meters and Boulter in 200 meters.
Karmel has cannot help but remembered for two years ago, at the Doha Asian Games, in the front of numerous Southwest Asia audience, he was surmounted by Zhang Guan, in his heart of that time has felt the dilutedness, he is no use, he is dejected, he felt endless desperate, that feeling, he will remember still to taste the pain today.
He does not want to experience one again time such failure.
Karmel comes soberly, he knows, now does not display world champion proud time, he must put down his pride, what he needs is the victory, to win, must bridge over Zhang Guan!
„Good, I promise you! This time, I will not be defeated again.” Karmel said finally. To be continued
