America's Road to Fame

In the men's 100-meter butterfly final, Phelps was on the track next to William Chen. When he jumped into the water, he had already started to swim with all his strength.

At this time, he felt that today's condition was particularly good, and he couldn't help but feel a little more urgent in his heart.

You know, this may be his last chance to win the gold medal in the single event in this Olympic Games.

Anyway?He hopes to break his embarrassing situation of zero gold medals so far.

He also knew that in this game, his strongest opponent was right next to him. So far, William Chen had won eight gold medals, tying his gold medal record in the Yanjing Olympics.

But in fact, everyone knows that William Chen's 8 gold medals are more gold-rich than others, because among the 8 gold medals won by Phelps in the Yanjing Olympic Games, there is also a gold medal in a team event such as the relay race.

The 8 gold medals won by William Chen are all personal events.

However, this game is not only of great significance to William Chen, but also very important to Phelps. If he can win the championship, it will not only break the embarrassing situation of zero gold medals in this Olympic Games so far, Moreover, he was able to successfully prevent William Chen from winning the gold medal, thereby surpassing his record in the Yanjing Olympic Games and becoming the person who won the most gold medals in a single Olympic Games.

Therefore, when he felt that Chen William on the track beside him was advancing at an extremely fast speed, Phelps put in all his strength, hoping to overtake him and maintain the lead.

It's just that his thoughts didn't last long, and he felt that William Chen beside him had surpassed him, and Phelps immediately became anxious in his heart. He tried his best to speed up and catch up, but felt that he had almost reached the limit. However, the distance between William Chen and him is continuously widening...

In the end, William Chen hit the wall first and finished the race, while Phelps was slightly behind and became No.2.

At this moment, Phelps leaned against the edge of the swimming pool, did not take off his swimming goggles, but looked at the scoreboard in a little hesitation, waiting for the final result to appear. It was the best time, and William Chen is still much ahead of him. It is very likely that William Chen will break his own record this time.

The previous men's 100m butterfly world record was 49 seconds.The record was set by Phelps at the 82 World Swimming Championships.

Sure enough, when everyone reached the finish line, the result of the game appeared on the big screen after a while——

The first place was William Chen with a score of 48 seconds!

As soon as the result came out, there was a sensation in the audience!
Facing Chen William's 48 seconds, at this time, apart from Phelps, I am afraid that not many people have paid attention to his results, because Chen William not only won the championship in the 80-meter butterfly final, but also got his The 100th gold medal in this Olympic Games broke the record of the athlete with the most gold medals in a single Olympic Games, which was created by Phelps beside him at the Yanjing Olympic Games with 9 gold medals, and broke the world record in the 8-meter breaststroke , increased by more than 100 second! !
Today's cheers and applause belong to William Chen, who has become the most dazzling star in the London Olympics.

Even Phelps won two gold medals in the team competition in the following competitions, thus becoming the athlete with the most medals and gold medals in the Olympic Games with 22 medals and 16 gold medals.

However, Chen William's performance in this Olympic Games was even better. The 9 gold medals not only made him the person who won the most gold medals in a single Olympic Games in history, but also relied on his 9 gold medals to make Atlanta Olympic representative The team finally ranked 9th in the gold medal list with 1 golds, 2 silver and 8 bronzes, second only to France with 10 gold medals, and above Australia and Italy with 8 gold medals...

It is worth mentioning that, of the 9 gold medals won by William Chen, in his previous life, 2 were won by South Africa, 1 by France, and 1 by Hungary...

The biggest victim is the United States, and 5 yuan was originally obtained by them.

This also led to the United States winning only 11 gold medals in their gold medal event-swimming competition, far below expectations.

In addition, in the Atlanta Olympic team, in addition to Chen William's 9 gold medals, there is also a silver medal from rhythmic gymnastics, and two bronze medals from women's archery and track and field events.

It can be said that Chen William's 9 gold medals directly "led" the Atlanta Olympic team.

For the athletes who won honors for Atlanta in the Olympics, the Atlanta Management Committee has also made a decision to reward the silver medalist with 100 million US dollars, the bronze medalist with 50 US dollars, and other athletes with 5 US dollars each. million dollar award.

After learning the news, Yevgenia, who won the silver medal in individual rhythmic gymnastics, almost cried with joy.

She was originally in Russia because of her previous injuries and her age compared to gymnastics, so she was not selected for the Olympic gymnastics team last year. If she cannot participate in this Olympic Games, then she will soon retire. I am old, and I will never have the chance to participate in the Olympics next time.

Moreover, as a traditional strong team in gymnastics, Russia itself is very "rolled" in this event, just in time for the period when gymnasts are changing from old to new, and they will hardly have the opportunity to participate in competitions if they stay.

When Orisa recruited "naturalized" athletes to participate in the Olympic Games on behalf of the Atlanta Management Committee, because she and Orisa were both Russian athletes and had friendship before, after careful consideration, Yevgenia He chose to join the Atlanta Olympic team to participate in the London Olympics.

In this Olympics, she performed exceptionally well and finally won the silver medal in the individual event. Now that she has learned that she can get a reward of 100 million US dollars, she is naturally extremely excited.

With this bonus, she will be able to bring her family to the island of Atlanta, where the climate is much better than that of Russia, and there are more opportunities.

The feelings of other athletes are similar to Yevgenia. Since they can make the decision to "naturalize" to the Atlanta Olympic team, most of them are difficult to get in the original national Olympic team for various reasons. quota, to participate in the Olympic Games.

Now after the London Olympics, regardless of whether they have won medals or not, they are grateful for such an opportunity, and Atlanta has also given them bonuses, so most people have decided to settle in Atlanta.

And William Chen, after attending the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games, received an invitation from the royal family to participate in the grand banquet they held for the successful hosting of the Olympic Games.
