Chapter 37 Robin Hood
Tang Hao's second arrow was still stable, and the arrow's parabola was perfect, but the landing point was slightly off, and the final number of rings was frozen at 9 rings.
After shooting, Tang Hao couldn't help but curl his lips. With his current strength, it was still difficult to stabilize the arrow at 10 rings.
Qiu Tian came to the stage.
This is his chance. He is still one ring behind now. If this arrow can hit 10 rings, he will tie the score.
The audience all looked at the field with their breath holding their breath, fearing that a little sound would affect Qiu Tian's performance.
Qiu Tian's movement was perfect, and the parabola was comparable to Tang Hao's previous arrow, but the arrow's landing point obviously went down a little. His final number of rings was frozen at 8 rings, and the number of rings behind changed from 1 ring to 2 rings.
After seeing the number of targets, he couldn't help but shake his head, and he could see that he was very depressed.
In fact, this is normal. Tang Hao, who has obtained 70% of Li Guang's strength, cannot stabilize the 10 rings, so he naturally cannot do it.
The last arrow.
Seeing that Tang Hao was about to shoot an archery, the audience unconsciously showed a faint expectation on their faces.
With only one arrow left, his lead has 2 rings. As long as the number of rings shot by this arrow is not less than 8 rings, he will not lose the game. According to his previous performance, the probability of this happening is extremely low.
In other words, they are likely to witness the birth of a new national archery champion after the next arrow.
After Tang Hao took the pose, he pulled out the last arrow from the quiver.
Qiu Tian looked at him with a slightly nervous expression. At this time, whether he still has a chance to shoot the last arrow depends entirely on Tang Hao's arrow.
Tang Hao took a breath, then pulled the arrow and pulled the string. After pulling the string, he then aimed at the target in the distance.
When resting between rounds, special staff will clean up the arrows on the target, which means that during the competition, there will be only 3 arrows on the target.
Because this is the last arrow of this round, the target was left with the 2 arrows he had left after shooting, 9 rings of one arrow, 10 rings of one arrow.
Because the arrow was a little slower, he raised the arrow's accuracy a little, held his breath, and then let go.
"Swoosh!"
The arrow made a sound of breaking through the air and shot straight towards the center of the target.
"Bang!"
A dull sound.
There was no expected cheers at the scene, but it was shocked.
This arrow did not directly hit the bull's eye, but shot on the first arrow! Then it directly shot the arrow that was originally inserted into it...
In 2010, unlike now, most of the arrows used in competitions were carbon arrows, and their fastness was not as strong as they are now. Tang Hao's third arrow happened to hit the shaft of the first arrow and directly shot it out.
The referee on the sidelines saw this scene and signaled that the game was suspended, and then ran to the target to watch.
The scene suddenly fell into a lot of discussion, which was not common in the game.
"Robin Hood!"
Just as the conversation started, the referee raised his hand to signal the technical station and shouted.
As soon as these words came out, the scene was in an uproar.
Tian Zhenzhe suddenly stood up from the judges, his eyes full of incredible expression.
Robin Hood, a hero of British folklore, is known as the Earl of Handington. He is a well-known thief in the UK. There are many novels with him as the protagonist and are widely circulated in the UK. There are even popular clothing brands with Robin Hood today. It is one of the most well-known historical figures in the UK.
The thief Robin Hood robs the rich and helps the poor, is chivalrous and righteous, and even helps the royal prince restore the throne. He is famous for his shooting skills and is a British version of Li Guang.
Modern archery originated in the UK, and for this reason, there is a professional term "Robin Hood" that is extremely praiseworthy in archery terms.
In the archery competition, the player's next arrow shot the previous arrow, divided it into two, and scored on the target, which was Robin Hood.
Tang Hao's arrow just now shot the previous arrow, and after the referee observed, the landing point of the arrow was within the range of 10 rings, which means that this is an undisputed Robin Hood.
No wonder Tian Zhenzhe was shocked like that, this is an extremely rare scene in archery competitions.
With the emergence of Robin Hood, the final result of the game also came out, and Tang Hao won the individual championship of this competition.
Because Qiu Tian still had an arrow, the originally restless mood at the scene was relieved by the field control.
Qiu Tian’s last arrow.
Although the winner was decided, he still earnestly completed the last arrow.
With 9 rings in one shot, he also completed the game.
When the arrow hit the target, the cheers at the scene could no longer be suppressed, and the excited roars of the audience seemed to shock the entire venue.
Not only did they witness the birth of a new champion, but the champion also ended the competition with a rare Robin Hood at the end of the moment, which was the most perfect performance.
If it weren't for the gap between the stands and the stadium, the audience in the front row would probably be excited to rush down to take a photo with him.
Qiu Tian, who was standing beside him, also reached out to applaud him.
Losing to such an opponent is no regret for this former first archery player in China.
Tang Hao felt the enthusiasm of the audience, and raised the bow and arrow high, and waved to the audience with a smile.
The cheers at the scene were even higher.
At this moment, Tang Hao was the most eye-catching focus in the venue.
Even the players next door preparing for the women's finals were looking up, and Zhang Juanjuan unconsciously gave him a thumbs up.
And it is more worth mentioning that in the finals between Tang Hao and Qiu Tian, 12 arrows shot a super result of 116 rings, breaking the record of domestic archery finals of 115 rings that had been maintained for ten years.
The women's competition continues, but after this day, the popularity of the name Tang Hao is no longer limited to a place like Zhejiang Province.
The words Robin Hood and 116 rings are like shadows. Together with the name Tang Hao, they have dominated the headlines of major sports media and newspapers.
This is a kind of catharsis, and it is also an emotion. People need a person to regain the archery sport that originally belonged to the Chinese. Tang Hao's emergence is undoubtedly a good catharsis, especially at the critical moment when the 2010 Asian Games will be held in Guangzhou, which is becoming more and more exciting.
The media knows people's psychology and publicity efforts are constantly increasing. This is completely different from the concept of Zhang Juanjuan's Olympic championship or Qiu Tian Championship. It represents a new possibility, just like Liu Xiang at the time.
However, before Tang Hao could pay attention to these things, he was taken to the National Archery Association by Song Feng.
Here, he met the person who was going to meet him today.
A face with a national character and a thrilling look, looking at her forties.
