"Are you still losing?" When Li Tian saw his English spelling name on the data bar on the third row of the electronic screen, he finally confirmed that the championship no longer belongs to him. However, the first feeling in his heart was not the frustration after the defeat, but the feeling that he had never felt relaxed. He ignored the final result he had achieved, closed his eyes gently, raised his head slightly, and let out a long breath. He had never lost on the field before, so he had an extremely "unbeaten king" in China

The title of honor, but which athlete can win forever in his career? When an athlete's honor becomes a burden on him, it is extremely unfavorable to the athlete's future development. This situation is particularly obvious in the Chinese environment. Sometimes even Li Tian himself is afraid that one day he will fall off the high "altar" and be smashed to pieces. Now he has fallen from that "altar". Fortunately, the current position of the "altar" is not too high, and even if he falls, it is just a pain.

"Wow!" Just as Li Tian sighed, a commotion suddenly broke out in the stands on the scene, and many viewers exclaimed in surprise, and it was the huge electronic screen that caught their attention.

"Is it difficult to break the world record?" Seeing the extremely surprised expression of the audience, Li Tian immediately looked at the electronic screen that he had not looked closely. This time he finally saw the final result he ran clearly - "9.98 seconds!" A very good result. However, just one second after he looked at the first two, he himself was stunned by the results displayed on the electronic screen.

"Ah! How could this happen!" Li Tian finally came to his senses amid the surprise of the audience, but he rubbed his eyes unbelievably and confirmed that he was not wrong. That's right, in the athlete score column of the electronic large screen, Green, the number one, Gatlin, and Li Tian himself, all showed the same number of "9.98" in the final score. It is rare for two people to tie the scores in the track and field competitions. The final scores of the three people are the same, which is even more rare in the track and field competitions. No wonder it surprised the audience. Even some senior sports media reporters couldn't understand this situation for a while.

"Since the three people have the same results, why is Green the champion and Li Tian can only get the third place? Is the final ranking assigned by age? Isn't there a saying that he tied for the championship in the game?" Some Chinese audiences at the scene began to ask their own questions first.

"Yes! In this way, Li Tian is also the champion. Why is the Chinese player inferior to the United States now only ranked third? "Many people who are not clear about the rules of sprint competitions began to get impatient. In their opinion, Li Tian's winning of the championship is more important than anything else.

"Dear spectators, please calm down. In view of the special situation where three contestants tied in the men's 100m competition, the event organizing committee will immediately give a reasonable explanation." The scene was in chaos, and the commentator immediately conveyed the notice of the event organizing committee.

"This situation is really rare! But this just reflects the intensity of the game. I think this is something the audience is very happy to see." Mr. Diak, who was sitting on the rostrum, was very satisfied with the process of the first game of the Golden League today and the atmosphere of the arena. Although the previous Gold League was held successfully, it was definitely not as popular as today. Just a game played by Li Tian, ​​it could attract more than 20,000 Chinese audiences to watch in Germany. This is a miracle. What kind of scene will be like in China? It can be imagined. In recent years, as the brand event of the Golden League has become more mature, and its influence has been continuously increasing. However, for some underdeveloped track and field events like China, even with Liu Xiang's participation last year, the entire event has attracted attention.

The degree is also very limited, but from today's competition scene, it is obvious who is more popular than the Olympic champion. Chairman Diak couldn't help but feel proud of his decision half a month ago. At that time, he insisted on letting Li Tian participate in this Golden League, but many people in the Athletics Federation raised doubts. Is it really appropriate to let a 16-year-old boy participate in such an important competition? However, the facts proved that his original decision was extremely correct. Before the start of the game, he set the fastest record of ticket sales since the start of the Golden League. Coupled with the huge Chinese market support behind him, this reflects the value of this sixteen-year-old young player. Now, being able to compete with world-renowned players like Green and Gatlin is enough to reflect his personal strength. I believe that the voice of doubts will never appear again.

Soon, the referee at the scene gave a reasonable explanation. According to the International Athletics Federation's competition regulations, track and field sprint events are allowed to tie the rankings, but there is a prerequisite, that is, the gap between the results must be less than 0.001 seconds, which means that the difference between the results is less than one thousandth of a second, which can be considered a tie-in result. In various domestic and foreign track and field competitions, the electronic timers used by various countries are accurate to one hundredth of a second, and to make a more accurate comparison, the photos taken by the high-speed camera set at the end of the lease are determined. Then the event organizing committee displayed the photos of the last three people rushing the line on the big screen. Through the images on the photos, Green's body first passed the finish line, while Gatlin, the second, was only about one fist, and Li Tian was unfortunately two thousandth of a second away from Gatlin, and had to rank third.

The explanation of the organizing committee once again caused an uproar in the scene. The gap of less than one percent of a second made Li Tian miss his first gold medal in the Golden League, which is extremely pitiful. Even Li Tian, ​​who had just seen the results of the game just now, suddenly became less peaceful when he saw that the difference between himself and the first place Green was less than five-thousandth of a second. A person's heart always would be like this. It can accept failure calmly, but when he knew that victory was so close to his hands but finally slipped away from his fingertips, he would always feel particularly regretful and pity. Li Tian was of course no exception, but the result of the game could not be changed.

However, just when Li Tian felt sorry for "losing" the first 100-meter championship in the Golden League, thunderous applause rang out in the stands. All 60,000 spectators stood up and sent their most sincere congratulations to the players who presented a wonderful game to them on the field. Although Li Tian finally missed the gold medal, this heavy third place, which is not inferior to Green's gold medal at all, will start from today. No one dares to say that China does not have the world's top sprinters, defeating many world champions, European champions, and fighting with Green and Gatlin, the two strongest sprinters in the current sprint industry to such an extent that Li Tian finally established his position in the world track and field industry in this game.

"I am not only the strongest among young players, but also one of the best track and field athletes in the world!" Li Tian conveyed such a message to the world with his actions.

The Chinese audience at the scene did not look disappointed at this time, but were more expectant about Li Tian’s future. Their smiles and applause illustrate all this. After all, this is just the beginning. Li Tian will have more opportunities to bring them happiness and happiness in the future. Even many foreign media were not optimistic about Li Tian, ​​which had to admit that the 16-year-old World Youth Championship champion in China has an unlimited future and he has the potential to become a world superstar.

Amid the long-lasting applause of the audience, Li Tian came back to his senses from sighs. There are no "if" or "assumptions" in the world. If you lose, you lose. The most important thing is to accumulate experience in the game and strive to win back all the lost as soon as possible. Nothing else, just to make those who have always firmly supported him taste the taste of happiness after victory earlier, and he has no time to stop here.

Looking at the many Chinese audiences holding national flags in the stands and the German track and field fans who liked him and supported him, Li Tian raised his chest and bowed deeply to them, and immediately won a wave of warmer applause.

With the climax falling, the first game of the 2006 IAAF Gold League came to an end. Judging from the overall effect, the event was organized very successfully. Whether it was the organizing committee, athletes and spectators, all showed extremely high levels in all aspects, and set a series of new records since the hosting of the International Gold League.
Chapter completed!
