Chapter 897 [Won the second gold, the strongest crosswalker]
After participating in the Demon Island Triathlon and the 24-hour Frog Obstacle Competition, Wang Jun saw the Olympic Iron Triathlon schedule and said: "This is also called Iron Triathlon? It's too pediatric."
Compared with Alcatraz Island, swimming is nearly one kilometer less, and the distance to cycling is similar, but Alcatraz Island is much more difficult to climb and downhill, sandy.
Compared with the tormenting things that the Navy SEALs have, this game seems too easy.
At 11:30 London time, the competition officially began at Hyde Park.
It is really rare for London, which is as thorough as it is today, and the 100% summer sunshine is so bright. Wang Jun changed into clothes and felt that his spirit had reached its peak.
Hyde Park is the best choice for relaxation and travel. This place is the most graceful special place in central London. In the hinterland of the international financial center, 255 hectares of green space are left, luxurious, yet extremely natural.
Many people did not expect that the organizers of the event would arrange the 10-kilometer open water race here. Hyde Park is full of green and attractive, but it is often easy to ignore the snake-shaped lake hidden in the garden. This 11-hectare water has become stagnant today, and only by water pumps are used to change water from the Thames River.
As an open water race, it seems that there is a lot of discomfort. The water surface area is not enough, so the contestants need to go around the track for three laps because it is stagnant water and there is no wave movement.
There are naturally benefits to the competition here. There is no need to worry about jellyfish or big fish. The most lethal one is just black fish. For the sake of the Olympics, the organizers also made a special trip to catch the floating algae.
Under this arrangement, Wang Jun's first item broke out.
He swam 15 kilometers away from the favorites to win the championship, the Brownley brothers in the UK.
He has conducted 9 years of swimming training, without wind and waves, with a perfect sense of rhythm, and is as fast as he can compare with many professional swimmers.
Thousands of spectators on the shore cheered the athletes. The open water competition was somewhat boring, but fortunately there was no background music that had stopped.
This made some viewers feel that this is a sunlight music party based on sports and Olympics.
The cycling stage surrounds Hyde Park, passes through London's famous attractions such as Buckingham Palace and Victoria Square. It is more than 6 kilometers long. Athletes have to ride for 7 laps on this stage.
It just circles around and doesn't require great skills. Wang Jun is moving forward at a constant speed and continues to maintain the lead. Just like when he was on the Alcatraz Island, no one follows him.
The Brownley brothers and Spanish star Javier Gomez were together and became the "second group". They thought that Wang Jun's traveling skills would soon consume all their energy and could catch up with the bicycle race, but after five laps, they did not see Wang Jun's shadow.
The surprise of several popular favorites cannot be described in words. They did not dare to follow Wang Jun when swimming, which would disrupt their rhythm and be detrimental to the subsequent competition. However, if they fell behind in the first event, it would be difficult to chase after them.
After spending his physical strength to about 20, Wang Jun used a bottle of physical strength Coke, and then completed the bicycle stage at a constant speed and entered a 10-kilometer long-distance race.
The public participation here is high. Except for the temporary stands set up at the starting point and the end point, other areas are open to the public for free. The track and the lakeside are crowded with tourists from all directions, and cheers are heard one after another.
Wang Jun’s running without taking the lead can ensure the rhythm, and move forward at a constant speed, and no longer uses physical strength to Coke. If he gives another bottle, he will definitely be far superior to others.
Even if he didn't use it, Wang Jun easily won the championship with his extra 30 physical strength. He crossed the finish line first, which took 1 hour, 44 minutes and 47 seconds.
When Xie Rong arrived at the scene, he personally draped the national flag on Wang Jun, hugged him hard, and jumped excitedly, as if he was a young man again.
Wang Jun won another gold medal, and he also raised his head.
The reporters came up and surrounded Wang Jun for an interview.
"Wang Jun, what do you think now?"
Wang Jun took two sips of water, wiped his sweat and said, "It's great. Winning the championship is expected. I still have the strength to run another ten kilometers. Compared with the Iron Third in Demon Island, this is much easier."
The reporters took photos wildly. As a cross-traveler, Wang Jun is really too strong.
Alistair Brownley won the silver medal, which took 1 hour, 46 minutes and 25 seconds.
Espanyol Gomez won the bronze medal in 1 hour, 46 minutes and 36 seconds.
Jonathan Brownley followed closely behind and missed the medal, but his willpower is still worthy of recognition, and he is a veritable "Iron Man".
Wang Jun, who had arrived a while ago, continued to accept interviews, attracting most reporters, only local reporters went to interview the two brothers.
Speaking of the future, Wang Jun said: "I enjoyed this moment very much and felt very shining. This medal was what I dreamed of. I got it. I don't know what to do next, maybe I can retire."
The reporters were shocked. "Retired?"
"Yes, Tie San retires and puts his mind on the basketball court." Wang Jun smiled.
The reporters all laughed. What he said was ambiguous and was deliberately joking.
The Brownley brothers were convinced that Wang Jun won the championship.
The brother sighed: "He is really incredible. We have been trying to catch up with him without success."
The younger brother who won the silver medal said, "He is better than us and swims much faster. He has established an advantage from the beginning. To be honest, I think he can win the championship even when he participates in the 1500-meter swimming competition."
Of course, this is impossible. The Chinese swimming team will not look for Wang Jun, and there is no shortage of strong players.
Sun Yang's 1500m freestyle broke the world record he held with a time of 14 minutes, 31 seconds, 02, and won the championship without any suspense. He must be faster than Wang Jun.
In any case, Wang Jun won two track and field gold medals, setting a record for the Chinese Olympic Games, and was the first Chinese athlete to win two track and field gold medals in the Olympic Games.
When he announced his permanent withdrawal from the men's basketball national team, many people said that he was unpatriotic and was the main handle for him to hack him.
After winning two gold medals, Wang Jun completely reversed his reputation. No one said that he was not patriotic anymore and his national flag was not covered in vain.
On the contrary, the Chinese men's basketball team, which was eliminated in all five games, became very embarrassing.
There is a comment online saying: "If Wang Jun does not enter the men's basketball team in the 2008 Olympics and participates in other events, he might be able to win the gold medal in 2008. The Basketball Association is the one who drags Wang Jun down."
"If Wang Jun participated in the triathlon in 2008, the Chinese team would definitely have another gold medal. He was younger at that time and his physical strength might be better than now."
"After the men's basketball team won the 2006 World Championships, the Basketball Association was unable to find the right position. The deputy director wanted to show Wang Jun's face and felt that he was very awesome. Now everyone understands who deserves the basketball championship? Without Wang Jun, the men's basketball team is nothing at all."
"Yao Ming is no longer good, just relying on Yi Jianlian, the men's basketball team is not easy to play in Asian games. In terms of the speed of depravity, no team can compare with them. Wang Jun's withdrawal is right, otherwise his reputation will be ruined in his lifetime and he will have to take the blame."
Wang Jun did not participate, and a fig leaf of the men's basketball team was torn off. Yao Ming was very patriotic and worked hard enough. Unfortunately, he was no longer the super center of the Rockets era. Now he has a loophole in the defensive end.
During the Olympics, agent Ryan Hughes became busy. Chinese businesses wanted to find Wang Jun as an endorsement. Wang Jun said he would choose a few and prepared to support domestic products.
Before the Olympics closed, Wang Jun could easily be a spectator and have fun for several days.
To be continued.
