At ten o'clock in the evening, Wei Kang came to the living room and turned on the TV.
A live broadcast of the Olympic Games immediately appeared on the screen, and a reporter was talking to the camera, reporting on the situation at the competition site.
"Today is the last day of the Olympic Games. At seven o'clock in the morning local time, the final race will start soon."
"On the track behind me, marathon runners from various countries are warming up. Let's zoom in and see their mental state."
As soon as the reporter finished speaking, the camera turned and Xue Shen's bouncing figure appeared in the center of the screen.
Wearing a set of red vests and shorts, he stood at the starting point with an expressionless face. There was perseverance in his eyes, and he was ready to go.
After jumping around for a while, he began to stretch his body again and do various warm-up movements.
"This is Xue Shen, China's number one marathon seed. Just over a month ago, he was still an amateur, but he won the Lancheng Marathon and broke the world record, becoming the most popular marathon player in this year's marathon. A dark horse.”
"He usually loves running. He has persisted for more than ten years and his physical condition is very good. At the same time, he is still a top student. He is focused on work and study, so he has not entered the sports circle."
"It can be said that this is a world champion who was delayed by scientific research. Haha, here we would like to thank the friends who pushed him to participate in the marathon. Without their unintentional actions, we might have lost a world champion. "
"He also has several strong opponents in this marathon, including former world champion Gural and the last marathon Olympic gold medalist Delta. Let us analyze their respective advantages and disadvantages..."
The reporter went on and on, introducing every player who appeared in the camera in detail.
Wei Kang leaned back, half-lying on the sofa, feeling a little bored.
He actually has little interest in sports, let alone marathons.
But the Olympic Games is a national sport after all, and the public's enthusiasm for winning the medal has been very high throughout the month. Naturally, he is not exempt from this, and will pay attention to the Chinese team's gold medal status every day.
The focus on the marathon is also due to Xue Shen's participation, especially since this subordinate is a seeded runner who has a strong voice in winning the championship.
So you can just look at the results for other races, but you can’t ignore this marathon.
He was already ready and planned to watch the game while scrolling through his phone.
If you really can't hold on and watch yourself fall asleep, ask Anmei to start the alarm clock to wake you up immediately.
In this way, we can know the competition results of our subordinates as soon as possible.
There was a "bang"!
When the starting gun was fired, everyone was ejected like bullets, running at full speed, gradually turning into small black dots on the screen.
Wei Kang suddenly became energetic and stared at the screen, looking for that familiar figure.
Fortunately, the camera also favors Xue Shen very much, giving him close-ups from time to time.
At the beginning, his speed was mediocre and he was not among the best overseas players.
Leading the way were the two black athletes, the former world champions and gold medalists who received the spotlight.
They seemed to be full of energy and wanted to compete for the gold medal this time, so their speed was very tight and they were almost running side by side at the front.
Behind him are other marathon runners, such as world championship champions and some overseas marathon champions.
Without exception, these people are all black.
Overall, in this marathon, both the men’s and women’s groups had an astonishing amount of black content.
But in Wei Kang's eyes, they all looked exactly the same, and he couldn't tell who was who.
In this way, for the first 20 kilometers, Xue Shen maintained a speed just reaching the level, and followed the black man leisurely.
After 20 kilometers, he replenished his energy and water, and suddenly he seemed like a new person and began to accelerate to catch up with the people in front.
"Xue Shen started to speed up. It seems that he is ready to show off his cards and show his true strength." The reporter's voice suddenly became extremely excited.
Wei Kang also became nervous and stared at the game intently.
Xue Kun was like a hot wheel on the sole of his foot, surpassing the players in front of him one after another.
At the same time, he began to exhale a faint mist between breaths.
"Everyone, the temperature difference between day and night is large in Los Angeles. It is very hot at noon, often exceeding 35 degrees, but it is very cool in the morning, only over 20 degrees."
"It's only 8 o'clock in the morning. The temperature is not particularly high. The surface temperature is probably about 20 degrees. There is a slight coolness when the wind blows. This is why the marathon is held early in the morning, just to avoid the cold weather. High temperatures at noon.”
The reporter said passionately, wanting to tear Xue Shen's thoughts apart and crush them into pieces, and interpret them 360 degrees without blind spots.
"When athletes exercise vigorously, their body temperature will rise sharply, sweat will continue to flow out, and there will be a lot of water vapor in their breath. This temperature is at least 10 degrees higher than the outside world, so fog will form."
"It can be seen that Xue Shen must be very determined to win the championship, so he will show all his strength in advance."
"Let's look forward to his performance and see if he can break 2 again this time."
"If we can break 2, the gold medal should be guaranteed."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Shen seemed to have heard his words, and instantly surpassed the two black men at the front and ran to the first place.
The reporter became excited again: "Wow, it seems that Xue Shen is going to break the zero breakthrough in the Olympics and win the Chinese team's first marathon gold medal."
"There is no doubt that as long as he keeps running at this speed to the finish line, the gold medal will be in our hands."
"Then, the next question is, will he break 2?"
"If it breaks 2, what kind of results will it achieve? Will it break the world record set one and a half months ago again?"
"let us wait and see."
Hearing such passionate reports, Wei Kang couldn't help but get excited.
At this time, all the eyes of the audience were focused on Xue Shen.
All the cameras were focused on him, giving him close-ups one after another.
Under the gaze of everyone, Xue Shen ran faster and faster, his body like lightning, shuttled across the field.
A series of sparks shot out from the soles of his feet, and the white mist coming out of his mouth became thicker and thicker.
A group of black people were chasing after them crazily, but despite all their strength, they couldn't get any closer. Instead, they got further and further away.
He maintained high speed like this, crossing the finish line like a bullet and blasting into the crowd behind him.
The Chinese teammates who were watching came up to him with laughter, lifted him up, lifted him high, and threw him into the air.
Amidst deafening cheers, he fell down, was caught by his teammates, and was thrown into the air again.
After throwing it for a full minute, it landed on the ground at the instruction of the coach.
A masseur rushed over, pushed him down on the chair, and started massaging the muscles in his legs.
All this was broadcast throughout the world through ubiquitous lenses, accompanied by chants of "1 hour, 59 minutes and 8 seconds".
Wei Kang couldn't help but clenched his fists, shouted "Ah" and jumped up from the sofa.
"Great, my people won the championship!"
“Although we didn’t break the record again this time, it was still the best result in previous Olympic Games.”
He was spinning and jumping excitedly on the living room floor, unleashing his inner passion.
"When Xue Shen comes back, the company will give him an award to commend his contribution."
****
Xue Shen was lying on the chair, enjoying the massage and waiting for the end of the game.
The game at 7 o'clock will not end until 9:45.
Of course, if all runners finish running within the stipulated time, the game will naturally end early.
He closed his eyes and felt the strength on his legs, groaning in comfort.
The sun shone on my body and slowly heated me up.
Suddenly, a dark shadow blocked the sunlight above his head.
At the same time, a calm and cold voice spoke.
"Mr. Xue, I am a staff member of the Anti-Doping Center of the Olympic Committee. I need to conduct a comprehensive doping test on you. Please cooperate."
Xue Shen opened his eyes and saw a tall white man in uniform appearing in front of him, looking at him expressionlessly.
"What are you doing? It's just a doping test. It's like an FBI dispatch."
He couldn't help but secretly complain, but the expression on his face did not change, and he sat up unusually calmly.
He had been waiting for this moment for a long time. Fortunately, he was fully prepared and there shouldn't be any problems.
The masseuse showed a surprised expression and asked: "What's going on? Don't you usually do the check-up after the game?"
"His massage is not over yet. Did you come too early?"
"Can you wait a moment while I finish the massage so my leg muscles don't feel tired after the game."
The big white man had a straight face and said coldly: "No, the competition is over. You must do a doping test as soon as possible to comply with the regulations."
"As for muscle fatigue or not, the game is over anyway and it won't have any impact at all."
The masseuse blushed and protested: "How could it not be affected? The team members' muscles cannot be fully stretched and relaxed, which will definitely affect the physical condition and they cannot resume training immediately..."
He wanted to continue talking, but Xue Shen grabbed him and smiled lightly.
"It's okay, no need to argue. Everyone has to check anyway, and I won't miss these few minutes."
The big white man nodded: "Yes, you are sensible, come with me."
Xue Shen stood up and followed the other person through a long corridor and came to a room with the sign "Anti-Doping Center".
A doctor in a white coat quickly drew a tube of blood from him, and then pointed to the water dispenser outside.
"Drink more water, then go to the bathroom to pee and bring it back for a urine test."
Xue Shen was very obedient, took a plastic pipe and walked into the bathroom outside.
As soon as he unzipped his pants, he saw a big white man walking in on his heels.
He couldn't help being stunned: "Brother, why are you following me?"
The other party looked serious: "I have to keep an eye on you to prevent you from doing anything."
Xue Shen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he could only accept it.
He suddenly remembered that in order to evade doping tests, some overseas players did. The most common operation was to bring a tube of other people's normal urine with them, and then sneak it into the bathroom to achieve ulterior motives.
Later, the Olympic Committee also learned the lesson and would send people to follow the athletes every time they had a urine test.
We strive to ensure that no player is given the opportunity to cheat from beginning to end.
With such a scrutinizing gaze staring at him, Xue Shen had trouble urinating smoothly. It took him a long time to drain the water and collect the liquid needed for the urine test.
When he walked out of the bathroom, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt secretly angry.
"It's so unlucky. I never want to see this damn crotch-gazing cat again."
"This Olympic gold medal is my marathon success."
"There won't be a next time."
In fact, what he likes is long-distance running, not marathon.
If it hadn't been for some mistake this time, and someone had been pushing me away inexplicably, I wouldn't have gotten to the Olympics at all.
He has made up his mind to quit the world after winning the gold medal and will never participate in any marathon again.
Anyway, the task has been completed, and it was done well, so the national team will probably have no objections.
After all, his main job is to develop new drugs, not to run this damn marathon.
After handing over a tube of light yellow liquid in his hand, Xue Shen returned to the arena again.
The game is almost over.
He turned around and went to change his clothes in preparation for the awards ceremony.
Doping tests are not that fast and are expected to take a day or two. After the results come out, if a player is caught cheating, the results will be immediately invalidated and they will be banned for several years depending on the situation.
After running for so long, the nanoparticles in his blood have almost decomposed. Even if there is a little bit left, it will require very sophisticated instruments to detect it.
So Xue Shen is not nervous at all now and plans to get the gold medal first.
****
At the same time, the news that China Marathon won its first gold medal has spread back to China, causing a sensation on the Internet.
Wei Kang sat on the sofa, scrolling through netizens' comments while waiting for the award ceremony.
Sure enough, not long after, Xue Shen appeared on the TV again.
He held a bouquet of flowers in his hand and walked up to the championship podium with his head held high.
Amid the melodious national anthem, the red flag rose slowly, and a gold medal was hung around his neck.
Such a scene instantly made countless Chinese people's hearts swell and their eyes moistened.
Wei Kang was no exception. After watching the award ceremony and closing ceremony, he felt energetic.
The clock on the wall had already read three o'clock in the morning, but he was not sleepy at all.
Pictures of the game kept flashing through his mind, and he missed his usual bedtime, making him a mentally energetic guy who stayed up late.
I can only go to work early and work in the study room.
I had just turned on the computer and replied to a few emails when the computer suddenly made a dinging sound.
After taking a closer look, I saw that I had received a project notification.
Clicking in, I found news about high oxygen-carrying nanoparticles. This project has completed animal experiments and can officially launch human clinical trials.
"Wait, this seems to be Xue Shen's project..."
Out of curiosity, Wei Kang opened the project report and read it.
He didn't know why, but the more he looked at it, the more he felt something was wrong, and he had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.
He frowned, and the image of Xue Shen running a marathon appeared in his mind.
These images appear alternately with key data in the project report.
Gradually, they overlapped.
boom! Wei Kang slapped the table hard and shouted angrily.
"No way, he really dares to do such a thing?"
I felt a little sleepy while typing at night, so I woke up after a nap and quickly finished writing this chapter and posted it.
