Chapter 953

It was August 12th in London, the last day of the London Olympics.

So far, the British team had won a total of 19 gold medals, which had not exceeded the 20 mark. In the last Olympics, the British team had also won 19 gold medals, which meant that the British team's results were the same as the last Olympics. There was no improvement or regression.

But considering that this was the British team's home game, the situation was completely different. With the home advantage, there was no improvement in the results, which was tantamount to regression. This was really embarrassing for the British team.

"At least get another gold medal! Let's at least get 20 gold medals. "

This was the voice of many British people.

Although there was only one difference between 19 gold medals and 20 gold medals, for the British, it had a completely different meaning. This additional gold medal meant that the number of gold medals had entered the 20 mark, which meant that the British team had made progress compared to the last Olympics.

On the last day of the London Olympics, the British also had a chance to hit for the 20th gold medal, and there was more than one chance.

In the women's modern pentathlon, four of the competitions had ended, and the British athlete Samantha Murray had a chance to hit for the gold medal.

In the boxing event, in the men's welterweight, or 69kg weight class, the British athlete Fred Evans had entered the final.

Also in the boxing event, in the men's super heavyweight, or 91kg weight class, Anthony Joshua, who was known as the most promising young boxer in Britain, also entered the final.

In these three events, even if only one of them won a gold medal, the British Empire's face would be saved.

…

The first news came from the women's modern pentathlon. Today was the final shooting event, and the Belarusian athlete won the first place in the shooting event, the Lithuanian athlete won second, and the Chinese athlete won third.

In terms of the total points, the Lithuanian athlete Laila Asadauskaite won the gold medal with a total score of 5,408 points, breaking the Olympic record. The British athlete Samantha Murray won the silver medal with 5,346 points. The British's hope of being the first to win the gold medal was dashed.

In the men's 69kg boxing field, the British athlete Fred Evans faced the Kazakh athlete Cherik Sapiev.

Evans won the European Championship last year, so the British had high hopes for him. Many British spectators thought that Evans could win the gold medal, but after the game began, Evans's performance was disappointing.

In the first round, Evans was behind Sapiev 2-4, and in the second round, Evans was behind Sapiev 3-6. In just two rounds, Evans was behind by five points.

The British audience was probably the most knowledgeable audience in the world about boxing. They could see that Sapiev was indeed stronger than Evans, and it was impossible for Evans to win.

As expected, the final score was 17 to 9. Evans lost to Sapiev and only got a silver medal. A score of 17 to 9 was a relatively large gap in an amateur boxing competition.

"Evans lost as well! I'm afraid there's no hope for the 20th gold medal. "The surrounding audience seemed a little disappointed.

"The next match is the 81kg weight class final, and then the 91kg + weight class final. Anthony Joshua will be on the stage then. We still have a chance to win the 20th gold medal!"

Anthony Joshua? He is the champion of the 2009 and 2010 Xia Ling Box Cup, the champion of the 2010 and 2011 ABAE Elite Competition, and the champion of the 2011 World Championship. He is the strongest in amateur boxing! " I know him. He's the champion of the Xia Ling Base Box Cup in 2009 and 2010, the champion of the ABAE Elite Tournament in 2010 and 2011, and the champion of the 2011 World Championship. He's the strongest in amateur boxing! "

He is confident that he will become a professional boxer, which means that he is not far from a professional boxer. He is the best amateur boxer! " He had the confidence to become a professional boxer, which meant that his current level should not be too far from that of a professional boxer. No matter what, he was at least a quasi-professional boxer! If a quasi-professional athlete were to participate in the Olympic Games, he might really win the championship! "

"Didn't Young Klitschko also become a professional player after finishing the Olympics? Anthony Joshua might become the next Young Klitschko! He'll definitely be able to sweep his opponents to victory. The 20th gold medal for Great Britain's national team depends on Anthony Joshua. By the way, who is Anthony Joshua's opponent? "

"Let me see … What? Zhang Guan! Anthony Joshua's opponent is Zhang Guan! "

The stadium suddenly became silent. The confidence that the British audience had in Anthony Joshua vanished at this moment.

Anthony Joshua could really be called a professional boxer, and he was indeed invincible in amateur competitions. However, when faced with a real professional boxer, Anthony Joshua was no match for him.

Anthony Joshua was indeed a genius boxer. In the eyes of the British boxing fans, he could become the next Klitschko. However, this time, his opponent was the one who had KO-ed Klitschko Jr. Even if Klitschko came in person, he would be beaten by Zhang Guan, let alone the future "next" Klitschko.

"Zhang Guan. Why is it Zhang Guan again? Is the British team going to stop at 19 gold medals? "

…

In the last boxing match of the Olympic Games, Zhang Guan was up against Anthony Joshua.

Anthony Joshua was fighting on his home ground, and it was already the final. Of course, he did not want to lose. Even though he was hit several times by Zhang Guan in the first round, Anthony Joshua still insisted on standing on the stage in the second round.

So, he was now on the ground. He was KO'd by Zhang Guan.

KO-ing opponents in the Olympic Games happened from time to time in taekwondo competitions. However, it had almost never happened in boxing. This was because the Olympic competition required protective gear, especially on the head. It could effectively protect the contestants from getting concussed and fainting.

The contest of laps was mainly fought with the legs. The strength of the legs was much stronger than the strength of the arms. Therefore, it was possible to be KO'd even with protective gear. In boxing, the only person who could still KO'd his opponent in the final stage was American athlete Ray who KO'd Cuban athlete Duvier at the Atlanta Olympics.

And today, the second KO'd in the Olympic final was born. Zhang Guan KO'd Anthony Joshua in the second round.

"Anthony Joshua was KO-ed?"

"He was wearing protective gear, wasn't he? He was knocked out with protective gear. If he didn't wear protective gear, wouldn't he be beaten to death? "

"Alas, the miracle didn't happen. Anthony lost to Zhang Guan!"

"He still didn't get the 20th gold medal! The London Olympics may be the eternal pain in the hearts of our generation! "

…

On the TV, Zhang Guan was waving his arms, celebrating his victory.

Sebastian pressed the button on the remote control to turn off the TV. Then he picked up the box with his personal belongings and walked out of the office.

There were still people coming and going in the corridor, but they seemed to not see him. Almost everyone kept a respectful distance from him.

The elevator arrived and Sebastian walked in. Several people who wanted to enter the elevator with him pretended to chat, text, read documents, and even crouched down to tie their shoelaces when they saw Sebastian. Obviously, these people did not want to enter the same elevator as Sebastian.

Before this, Sebastian would encounter the same situation every day. Because he was the chairman of the London Olympic Committee, the subordinates did not dare to take the same elevator as the big boss.

But today's situation was completely different. As the saying goes, the tea cools when the person is gone. It was more reasonable for Sebastian to leave the London Olympic Committee in such an embarrassing way. At this time, he was like a stray dog who had been chased out. He ran away with his tail between his legs.

No one wanted to be with a stray dog!

When the elevator door closed, Sebastian could even feel his former colleagues pointing and talking about him outside.

"A sinner of the British Empire?" A wave of sadness and annoyance rose in Sebastian's heart.

At this moment, Sebastian could not help but think of Zhang Guan.

Sebastian would never have thought that an athlete could bring him so much harm. As the chairman of the British Olympic Committee and the chairman of the IAAF, he could be said to be the most powerful person in the world of sports. For him, an ordinary athlete was like an ant. But now, an "ant" had pulled him down from his position as chairman of the London Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games.

"Zhang Guan! Just you wait, I am still the chairman of the IAAF. I will take revenge sooner or later! "Sebastian thought fiercely.

…

On the afternoon of August 12th, the last day of the London Olympic Games, a piece of news appeared quietly.

"Mr. Sebastian, Chairman of the London Olympic Games Committee, has resigned from his position as Chairman of the London Olympic Games Committee today!

When Zhang Guan saw the news, he had already finished his boxing match and was preparing for the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games that night.

"Sebastian resigned!" When Zhang Guan saw the news, he felt refreshed.

As the chairman of the London Olympic Committee, he had resigned before the end of the Olympic Games. Anyone could see that Sebastian had been ousted. The so-called resignation was just to make the London Olympic Games look a little more respectable.

Considering that the process of the London Olympic Games was not so smooth and that there were many scandals, Sebastian's resignation could be interpreted with more meaning.

At least the French delegation was quite excited about the news. Since the diving incident in the cycling team race, the French delegation had been making a scene for more than a week. Now, as the chairman of the London Olympic Committee, Sebastian's resignation could be considered an explanation to the French team. The boss of the Olympic Committee had already stepped down, so the French team did not continue to make a scene.

In Britain, Sebastian's resignation could be considered to have calmed the public's anger. At least after the news was released, the crowd that had been protesting in front of the London Olympic Committee gradually dispersed. Some people even ran to the pub to celebrate as if the England team had won.

For the London Olympic Games, Sebastian's resignation could be said to have killed two birds with one stone. It not only appeased the foreign delegations led by France, but also appeased the domestic people who were not satisfied with the performance of the British team.

The only one who was hurt was perhaps Sebastian himself. At least, it had a great impact on his resignation.

If Sebastian had resigned after the London Olympic Games, his merits and demerits would be judged by later generations. Once many things became "later generations' comments," there would be a "dialectical" situation, and even the bad parts could be directly denied.

But Sebastian had resigned during the London Olympics, which was obviously an admission of guilt. "Guilt" referred to admitting his own mistakes, which meant that Sebastian had admitted that he was at fault. No matter how he argued or denied, he could not clear his name.

…

At the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games, Sebastian did not appear. The handover of the Olympic flame was also handed over by the Mayor of London to the chairman of the Rio Olympic Committee.

However, Zhang Guan knew that all this was not over.

"Diak should have collected enough evidence! Maybe in a few days, he will make a move! "

…

September 12th, the third day of the closing of the 2012 London Paralympic Games.

The American people had just finished commemorating the tragedy of that year. French C + TV, France Sports Network and many other media broke out a shocking news. Mr. Sebastian, the former president of the London Olympic Committee and the current president of the IAAF, used his power to seek personal benefits for British athletes!

Sebastian was British. It was normal for him to be a little biased towards his own country. As long as it was not too out of line, it would not lead to serious investigation. However, this time the French media broke out a very outrageous behavior.

Sebastian helped British athletes use performance-enhancing drugs!

Performance-Enhancing drugs were always a taboo in sports and an inevitable topic in competitive sports. This issue was not only related to fair competition, but also to the ethics of athletes.

According to the information given by the French media, as long as British athletes applied for performance-enhancing drugs immunity, the success rate was 100%. However, the success rate of athletes from other countries was less than 10%!

As soon as the news came out, the Russian Athletics Federation immediately jumped out. The number of track and field athletes in Russia was second only to the United States, and the strength of track and field was second only to the United States. They had more than 200 athletes applying for performance-enhancing drugs immunity a year, but not even ten of them were approved. The Russian Athletics Federation had long been complaining about this.

Subsequently, some African countries, Caribbean countries, Latin American countries, and even Asian countries' track and field associations also stood up and expressed support for a thorough investigation of this matter.

Track and field was a sport that was greatly affected by performance-enhancing drugs. Half of the athletes who were found to have used performance-enhancing drugs were track and field athletes. However, in this "performance-enhancing drugs immunity" incident, only Britain, the United States, and Australia really benefited.

For athletes from other countries, why could athletes from Britain, the United States, and Australia legally use performance-enhancing drugs, but they could not make any progress even though they trained so hard! To use performance-enhancing drugs, everyone should use them together.

More importantly, the former president of the IAAF, Diak, had been adding fuel to the fire in the dark. He constantly used his power and began to target Sebastian.

Internal enemies were always the most terrible.

A week later, someone in the IAAF finally proposed to impeach President Sebastian!

Sebastian's doomsday was finally coming.
