Run Out of My Life - Chapter 396
“…the eight finalist teams are Poland second, Nigeria third, Russia fourth, Belgium fifth, Jamaica sixth, and seventh England, Brazil in the eighth, Germany in the ninth…”
At 21:13 on August 22, the live broadcast of the Olympic Games on the CCTV channel was transferred to the Bird’s Nest National Stadium, where there are more than 90,000 people.
On the track and field track of the stadium, the players of the eight women’s relay teams and four bats have all appeared on the track, doing simple warm-up and step measurement.
“Hey Jamaican girls, do your best!”
Nesta Carter looked excited and waved at the four Jamaican female players on the TV screen.
Just after a brief warm-up, Bolt, Powell, Nesta Carter and Michael Flatt, the four Jamaican men’s relay team players, all stopped briefly and appeared in the In front of the TV in the seating area next to the warm-up court.
This Jamaican women’s 4 x 100m relay team is arguably the strongest in Jamaica’s history, and all Jamaicans want to see how amazing they will be.
“This gold medal must be ours!” Michael Flat shouted with great confidence, “Do you think they will think about breaking the Olympic record or the world record now? They Are there no Yanks in your opponents?”
“Perhaps, Cologne said before the game that they would definitely win the gold medal, so what else do they have to challenge, of course it’s a record!”
Before Powell and Bolt spoke, Nesta Carter turned her head and danced happily.
The current women’s Olympic record is 41.60 seconds set by the East German women’s 4x100m relay team in Moscow in 1980, and the world record is also set by the East German women’s relay team in Canberra, Australia in 1985 Created 41 seconds 37.
The Jamaican women’s relay team easily advanced in the preliminaries with a time of 42.24. The world record dare not say, the Olympic record is very promising.
In addition, in the final of the women’s 4×100m relay at the Olympic Games, the only American team comparable to them has been eliminated due to a mistake in dropping the bat. This gold medal was almost “booked” by the Jamaica team in advance.
Including Bolt and Powell on the side, there is basically no suspense about the women’s team winning the championship at this time, and they are more guessing whether the record will be broken.
At 21:15, with the sound of instructions from the venue broadcast, the noisy stadium became quiet a little, and the first runner of the eight final relay teams stepped onto the running aid.
The starting gun rang, and the 100m female trapeze Fraser quickly took the lead for the Jamaica team with her super starting ability, followed by Russia and Belgium.
Simpson, who was in charge of the second rod, also completed the second rod very smoothly, with a clear lead.
“Wow!”
But at this moment, in the Bird’s Nest National Stadium, a huge exclamation suddenly sounded.
When Jamaica’s second bat Simpson handed the baton to the third bat, Colon Stewart, the latter did not grasp firmly, and the handover baton made a major mistake.
At this time, except for the British team that also had a handover accident, the other teams have rushed to the fourth. When the game entered the last 100 meters, everyone was sprinting, but the Jamaican 200-meter champion Campbell could only stay on the starting line doing nothing.
“Gosh, what’s this… what happened?”
“FUCK!” Nesta Carter roared like an angry bull.
At this time, the four members of the Jamaican relay men’s team, who seemed to be very relaxed, were instantly extremely depressed.
Bolt held his head and watched the situation on the field through the TV, almost making him unable to believe his eyes. Powell shook his head again and again, showing a rare expression of pity.
In such a good situation, it is difficult for almost everyone to accept such a major mistake. This is arguably the most accessible gold medal in Jamaica, but now it’s gone.
“Okay, we need a meeting.”
Michael Flatt looked gloomily at the dejected Jamaican female players passing by on TV, took a deep breath, turned his head and clapped his hands at Asafa Powell and Yosse cried En Bolt.
Different from the original time and space, their men’s 4×100m relay race has already faced a formidable challenge. The American team with Guy and Gatling is no weaker than them. go.
And at this moment, the situation in front of them is a real reminder to them that the four fastest female athletes on the earth should have won the gold medal, but in the end they were handed over. Mistakes, failed to complete the game, unfortunately out.
This tension and excitement instantly made several people nervous.

National Olympic Sports Center.
There was thunderous applause in the hockey hall, and the cheers resounding through the sky almost shook the entire hall.
But it’s not the host’s Chinese fans who create this momentum.
No matter where you went to watch the game before, as long as there was a Chinese team participating in the game, the fans in the stands would provide an overwhelming home field advantage, supporting the home team with cheers and cheers and shocking the opponent.
However, at 20:30, in this final final, Chinese fans met a strong opponent for the first time.
At the women’s hockey final scene, the Dutch fans from across the ocean accounted for more than 30% of the audience that night, and their uniforms were uniform, and the stands formed square formations, which was even more imposing.
And at this moment, the cheers reached their climax.
Dutch fans who followed the team from the Netherlands to China from thousands of miles away are celebrating their Olympic championship with enthusiasm.
The large number of Chinese spectators in the stands also gave the Chinese women’s hockey team warm applause and encouragement, which was the best result of Chinese women’s hockey in the history of the Olympic Games.
At this moment, no one is criticizing the young Chinese women’s hockey girls. Before this, the Chinese women’s hockey had never entered the Olympic finals, and their best result before was only the last one Olympic semifinals.
Just as the atmosphere in the audience reached the most enthusiastic, when many Dutch women’s hockey players hugged each other to celebrate the championship, suddenly, the scene was cheering and jumping, and the Dutch fans who were singing loudly suddenly exclaimed.
Their most eye-catching pearl on the court, after hugging all the players, spit out the braces, lost the hockey stick, and ran out of the field quickly.
A series of Mercedes-Benz business cars had already been waiting outside the venue. After she got in the car, the engine sounded loudly and drove out directly from the inner ring road of the Olympic Games.

Countless Chinese spectators who were waiting in front of the TV were all sitting at the moment when the TV screen switched to the Bird’s Nest Stadium, waiting for the upcoming game.
Eight relay teams appeared one by one, and the atmosphere at the scene continued to rise. The camera was especially given to Su Zu, who was far away from the fourth bat who was measuring his pace.
“…audience friends, the upcoming men’s 4×100m relay final.
Su Zu is guarding the last stroke. He has finished measuring his steps and is turning around and waving to the audience. For Su Zu, this game is of great significance. If he can win the gold medal in the final relay race , he will become the second athlete to achieve the men’s 100m, 200m and 4x100m triple crowns in one Olympic Games after Carl Lewis of the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, and holds a world record in terms of performance and hands And the performance of the competition, Su Zu will far exceed Carl Lewis… I hope the Chinese athletes in the first three bats can have a normal, high-level performance today, and successfully hand the baton to Su Zu…”
