In the following days, Bai Yu participated in the preliminary rounds of the 3,000-meter obstacle course and the 5,000-meter long-distance race.
He easily secured a spot in the finals for both projects, and the attention he received grew increasingly intense.
R has even appeared on some overseas gambling websites, suggesting that Bai Yu has won three championships and that he has quite a few options to play.
For example, can Bai Yu win three championships? Can all three championships break the Olympic record and the world record?
Different options represent different odds.
The option with the highest odds is three gold medals, three Grand Slams, three new Olympic records, and three new world records, with odds of 1 to 1.9.
A ratio of 1 to 1.9 may not seem high, but it is actually very high. After all, given Bai Yu's achievements in the 10,000-meter race, his chances of winning all three championships this time are very high.
Choosing this option is basically a sure-fire way to make money.
Indeed, this was the case; in the subsequent 3,000-meter obstacle course, Bai Yu won the championship with ease.
Moreover, he once again broke the record, improving the world record he had just set two months prior by more than ten seconds.
This is yet another new record, and Bai Yu has once again achieved a Grand Slam, winning the 3,000-meter obstacle course Grand Slam.
After running the 3,000-meter obstacle course, Bai Yu's followers on Douyin (TikTok) reached 99.99 million, making her the first individual user on Douyin to surpass 100 million followers.
On August 6th, Bai Yu had her last event final, the 5,000-meter race.
On August 6th, the number of spectators at the stadium increased significantly.
In the past, it was considered good if the number of spectators at track and field events reached one-tenth of the venue's capacity.
However, on the 6th, the number of spectators at the stadium was close to half of the total capacity, and that was only because the organizers implemented personnel control measures to prevent too many spectators from entering.
Otherwise, if the venue they are in has a capacity of 40,000 to 50,000 people, they could bring in 40,000 to 50,000 people to watch the game.
The reason these people are so eager to watch the match is simply to witness history, the birth of a three-time Grand Slam champion.
Throughout track and field history, in every event—long-distance running, sprinting, high jump, long jump, shot put, and javelin—there have been Grand Slam winners, and even double Grand Slam winners are not uncommon.
However, this is only a Grand Slam winner in a single event. A person's energy is limited, especially for athletes. Often, while participating in one event, it is difficult to take care of other events as well.
Athletes must make choices, so when venturing into two or three events, their focus will inevitably shift.
In the history of track and field, there has almost never been an athlete who has won three Grand Slam titles at the same time.
Bai Yu is now a double Grand Slam winner, and he is about to participate in the 5,000-meter final. If he wins the championship in this event again, he will become a triple Grand Slam winner, an unprecedented athlete who has achieved a Grand Slam in three events.
The spectators who come to the stadium to watch the game want to be witnesses, to witness the birth of history.
As Bai Yu took to the stage, cheers resounded throughout the stadium, echoing across Yunxiao Road. Everyone was cheering for Bai Yu.
Regardless of whether they were Chinese or fans of Bai Yu, at this moment, these spectators had only one thought in their minds: that Bai Yu could win the championship and they wanted to witness the birth of history.
When Bai Yu arrived at the starting line, the other competitors all looked at him with respect.
In competitive sports, being bad at something is a cardinal sin, but truly skilled players will inevitably earn the respect of other players.
Bai Yu was in this situation at that time. Based on his achievements in the first two projects, he was already worthy of respect from others.
In this 5,000-meter final, there were only twelve participants in total, and apart from Bai Yu, all the other participants were Black.
Moreover, these people were mostly acquaintances of Bai Yu, and many of them had also signed up for the 3,000-meter obstacle course and the 10,000-meter race.
Even though they looked at Bai Yu with respect, it didn't mean they had given up. On the contrary, they were all full of fighting spirit.
It's important to know that before this Olympics, Black people dominated long-distance running events, with the top three finishers almost always being Black.
However, since Bai Yu emerged and broke their monopoly in these events, Bai Yu has now won two championships, leaving only the 5,000-meter event.
So before the competition even started, these Black people had already banded together for mutual support, and they had only one goal: Bai Yu.
Among these athletes, Bai Yu's biggest rival is still Chegai, who is even more courageous than Bai Yu. In this Olympics, he has entered four events by himself.
Three of them are the same as Bai Yu's, plus an additional 1,500-meter middle-distance run.
It was also because of Bai Yu's presence that Che Gai only won one silver and one bronze medal in the 3,000-meter and 10,000-meter events, and only won a gold medal in the 1,500-meter event.
If it weren't for Bai Yu, Chege would definitely be the biggest winner in long-distance running at this Olympics.
Unfortunately, Bai Yu was in the competition, and he was the biggest rival of all the black players.
At the start of the match, he was targeted by several black players who rushed forward at the same time, blocking Bai Yu's path and preventing him from moving.
However, Bai Yu was not flustered at all in the face of this situation. They were blocking the road, but it was impossible for these athletes to block all the positions on the huge track.
After running alongside these people for several dozen meters, Bai Yu seized an opportunity and surged into the lead.
However, Bai Yu's acceleration seemed to trigger a chain reaction, as the other contestants all accelerated at the same time, trying to regain the lead.
However, Bai Yu was not going to give these people a chance. They accelerated, and Bai Yu accelerated as well. In short-distance sprints, Bai Yu was not afraid of anyone.
Then a strange scene unfolded on the field. What was supposed to be a 5,000-meter race was turned into a sprint race, as if the event was all about who had the strongest explosive power.
Unfortunately, in terms of absolute strength, Bai Yu is second to none. Anyone who wants to take the lead from him is just daydreaming.
Throughout the race, Bai Yu maintained a lead until the final lap, where he unleashed another burst of energy and accelerated to the finish line.
When Bai Yu crossed the finish line, thunderous cheers erupted once again. Tens of thousands of spectators cheered for him, witnessing the birth of history.
Bai Yu once again set a new Olympic and world record in the 5,000-meter event, breaking his previous record by more than 40 seconds, nearly 50 seconds.
This time, Chegai and the others were so determined to take the lead that they put a lot of pressure on Bai Yu during the race.
This is why Bai Yu achieved another breakthrough in his final results, improving his record by such a significant margin.
With Bai Yu crossing the finish line successfully, she won the championship in this event and also completed the Grand Slam of this event.
Thus, a athlete with three Grand Slam titles was born, and he was also of Asian descent, who won three Grand Slam titles in track and field!
At the moment the white fisherman crossed the finish line, news about a person of Asian descent achieving a triple Grand Slam was spreading rapidly throughout various regions of Asia.
Asia is a country where most countries have people of East Asian descent. If honors were to be divided according to race, Bai Yu's triple slam would also be a part of that.
