Chapter 201 The Bronze Medal
The schedule on August 16 ends, and Yidun will usher in the second final event on the 17th, namely the hammer final.
At around 6:50 pm, Yi Dun's record was completed and the hammer final was officially started in twenty minutes.
The twelve contestants, including three Asians, namely Yidun, Yuki Fukushima, Japan and Zanalov of Tajikistan.
The remaining nine players are all from European and American countries. What’s strange is that no American players participated in this hammer match.
Although Yidun won Hiroji Murofuka at the Osaka Grand Prix last time, the Osaka Grand Prix and the Olympics are definitely not of the same level.
After deducting Yidun's grand prix, the strongest one was Murofuku Hiroji.
But Hiroji Mori's current strength is not outstanding in this Olympics.
So winning the Gunshi Fu Guangzhi does not mean that Yi Dun can win 100% medals.
Yi Dun has one advantage, that is, he never sets his tone too high.
Of course, this cannot be said to be an advantage. Sometimes, it is better for people to have greater ambitions.
Muro Fukuji was in a complicated mood and didn't pay attention to Yi Dun. When he arrived at a stage of the Olympics, who had the heart to fight, he was all focused on the gold medal.
The same is true for Yi Dun. He looked at the contestants around him and considered whether he would have a chance to win the medal today.
After the lottery draw, Yi Dun drew the lottery position No. 8, a very good position.
Then Shi Fu Guangzhi's luck was not very good. He directly drew the No. 1 lottery and was the first to appear.
Among the twelve players, three of them had a career record of 84 meters, with Hiroji Murofuka being one of them, and the other two were Belarusians.
There are two people behind that record more than 83 meters, one is Pole and the other is Finnish.
Yi Dun's personal record was previously at the Osaka Grand Prix. Among the twelve contestants, it is a high-end and neither up nor down.
However, even though Yi Dun's personal record is not good, it does not mean that he can only win a bad result in this hammer game.
Take Shi Fu Guangzhi as an example. His personal record naturally beats Yi Dun, but now his strength is not as good as Yi Dun.
There must be some situations like Muro Fukuhi, so Yi Dun feels that even if he can't win the medal, his ranking will not fall out of the top five.
...
The first shot of Hiroji Murofuka has come out, and the difference is definitely not very bad, but if you look forward to this score, you will definitely not have the chance to win the card.
The next few players appeared in turn, and the best-achieved Slovakians scored the results.
Yi Dun was the eighth appearance, and his first shot score was that Yi Dun shook his head dissatisfied.
However, after all the players' first shots were over, Yi Dun smiled.
My poor score is temporarily ranked second. Except for myself and the Slovakian player, no other player has scored more than 80...
There were two players who made mistakes and had no results. The results were actually scored by the weakest Tajikistan player, which was quite embarrassing.
The first shot is temporarily ranked second, which is definitely a good sign. Yi Dun wonders whether the performance of the players in the hammer game today will be as bad as the shot put night before. If this is the case, he might be able to earn another silver medal.
However, the next second shot was to pour a basin of cold water on Yi Dun.
The Slovakian player directly scored a score, which was 100% able to help him win a medal.
Slovakia and the Czech Republic were once the same country, and were also a socialist country. Later, they split. The Czech population was 10 million, and Slovakia was even smaller, with only five or six million people.
The population is not as large as Songyang City, but it is really not easy to have a world-class player with just such a small population.
In addition to this Slovak player, a Belarusian player scored a score that squeezed out Yidun's second place.
Yi Dun's second shot is better than the first shot, and his score is temporarily ranked third.
The Hungarian player ranked fourth with his score, while Hiroji Muro ranked fifth.
The current situation is similar to what Yi Dun thought. He can make sure to enter the top five, but there is definitely no chance of gold medals.
My current personal record is that two people have already scored above the score.
But it is comforting to talk about that Yi Dun is still ranked third and has the opportunity to win the bronze medal.
In the next third shot, many players performed a little badly, only the Slovakian player scored 80, while the others were under 80 meters.
Yi Dun made a direct mistake in this third shot and no results were recorded.
Three trial shots ended, four players were eliminated, and there were eight players left on the field.
The next three shots will determine the outcome of today's game.
Half of the fourth shots were shot, Yi Dun's heart skipped a beat, and another Belarusian player directly squeezed Yi Dun from the third position.
Yi Dun's fourth shot was not outstanding, and only his score was recorded.
Even if the Slovakian and the two Belarusian players no longer improve their performance, if Yi Dun fails to score above the score in the latter two, he will miss the medal.
The fifth shot was the result, everyone was not performing well, and Yi Dun was no exception. This time he only scored the results.
"The situation on the scene is a bit unfavorable to Yi Dun. There is still a chance to make the last shot. If Yi Dun cannot make the above results, Yi Dun will take the opportunity to win the card." The CCTV host said with a serious expression.
The commentator invited by CCTV today is Bi Zhong, the domestic male shot put record holder before Yi Dun. He set a domestic record in 1989. If it weren't for Yi Dun, it would probably be possible that this record would have remained for at least twenty or thirty years...
"The situation is indeed a bit unfavorable to Yi Dun. Yi Dun's personal record is that now we can only hope that Yi Dun can break his personal limit in the last shot."
"But we should not put too much pressure on Yi Dun. Even if we cannot win the cards this time, Yi Dun actually created the Olympic history of men's hammers."
"He is the first athlete in China to enter the Olympic men's hammer finals." Bi Zhong said with hope.
As an old athlete who has retired for many years, he naturally hopes that Yi Dun can bring an Olympic medal to Chinese men's hammer.
...
Starting from the sixth shot, the scores of several players before Yi Dun were not good. After all, when it was the sixth shot, it was difficult to make too impressive results.
The Slovakians and the two Belarusians have all shot six times, and their results have been fixed and there will be no changes.
As for Japanese player Fukuhiro Fukuji, he also ended with six shots, so he definitely had no chance to win the card, and even entered the top five.
It was Yi Dun's turn to play, Yi Dun took a deep breath. Whether he could win the card and achieve a breakthrough in men's zero hammer depends on the next shot.
"Huh!"
"Ah..." Yi Dun roared and threw out the hammer in his hand.
The Belarusian player, who is temporarily ranked third, is nervously waiting for Yi Dun's results to be released.
The situation is very clear at the moment, and I definitely don’t have the chance to be in the top two. Whether I can keep this third place depends on Yi Dun’s performance.
After a moment, the surveyor gave a surprising result.
"!"
It's exactly the same as the Belarusian player's performance!
Yi Dun was also stunned. Although this kind of thing has not happened once or twice in history, it still feels quite wonderful when I actually happened to me.
The best results are the same as the third-ranked Belarusian player?!
Yi Dun hurriedly thought about his second best results. His second best results are, what about the Belarusian player?!
Chapter completed!
