From the moment Baiyu Station stepped onto the track, even though the race hadn't started yet, 80-90% of the audience's attention was focused on him.
Even the image displayed on the stadium's big screen was of Bai Yu.
Even though other competitors were still competing in other venues, the large screen was still focused on Bai Yu.
This shows that not only Bai Yu's fans and Chinese people are paying attention to the outcome of this match, but people from other parties are also very concerned.
If Bai Yu wins the championship in this 5,000-meter race, he will be the first person in track and field history to achieve this feat!
There have been Grand Slams in track and field before, and even double Grand Slams have occurred, but a triple double Grand Slam has never happened before.
Even decades ago, when sports competitions were not highly valued and various drugs were rampant, there was never a triple Grand Slam.
However, with increasingly advanced technology, stricter regulations, and the prohibition of many illegal methods, a triple double Grand Slam is about to emerge.
Moreover, this person wasn't even the most talented Black person in track and field, but rather the Asian person who, according to stereotypes, had the weakest track and field talent.
Witnessing a historic moment is something no one wants to miss, and that's why the stadium is packed with spectators today.
There were a total of 18 runners in this 5,000-meter race. Apart from Bai Yu, there were no other Asians, and there were only two white runners. The rest were all black.
Bai Yu knew all of these athletes, and was quite familiar with them. After all, before the Olympics, Bai Yu had taught these athletes and earned tuition fees from them or their teams.
Because everyone knew each other, the atmosphere of the competition was actually quite good. At least before the competition started, everyone could chat for a while.
Unlike other events, the competitors in this event seem to have a deep-seated hatred for each other, and there is almost no communication between them.
Of course, this was just a pre-race discussion. As the warm-up activities ended and everyone stepped onto the starting line, the overall atmosphere changed and became tense.
Bai Yu's position wasn't ideal; he was in the middle of all the contestants, essentially surrounded.
This position is relatively awkward, with people on both sides and a certain distance from the inner circle.
If it were any other contestant, they might have just followed the crowd from the start, staying behind the main group and looking for an opportunity to overtake.
But Bai Yu didn't think that way; he still wanted to crush his opponent and win.
So the moment the match started, he had already sprinted out with all his might.
Bai Yu wasn't the only one who started sprinting; the remaining seventeen contestants all made the same choice, rushing out immediately. Everyone was giving their all for the last championship.
This left the audience at the scene and those watching online completely stunned. Who would start a 5,000-meter race by sprinting right from the beginning, especially with all eighteen runners sprinting together?
If you didn't know better, you'd think you were watching a sprint race. They start by sprinting right away. How can you play like that?
Especially the other seventeen contestants, which is something that all the viewers cannot understand.
Bai Yu's sprint is understandable, after all, he is striving for his three-time double Grand Slam. If he wins another championship in this event, he can become the number one track and field athlete.
This achievement is truly remarkable and would be incredibly enticing for any track and field athlete.
However, the remaining athletes, let alone achieving a double Grand Slam, haven't even managed one Grand Slam in these two Olympic Games due to Bai Yu's presence.
How can someone who hasn't even won a Grand Slam possibly aim for a double Grand Slam?
What the general public doesn't know is that these players weren't actually aiming for a Grand Slam; they simply wanted to compete with Bai Yu and add some prestige to Bai Yu's last championship.
After all, Bai Yu had given them some pointers on long-distance running, and they wanted to test themselves through this competition to see if their skills had improved.
Moreover, although none of the seventeen people explicitly stated it, they all unanimously chose to launch a siege against Bai Yu, fighting against him in a seventeen-against-one manner.
What if Bai Yu doesn't hold on in the end and loses the triple double Grand Slam?
Then you can't blame them. They were just playing normally. If Bai Yu couldn't beat them, then it's just bad luck of his.
It also gave everyone else an opportunity, an opportunity to surpass him in achievement.
However, while the ideal is beautiful, the reality is very cruel.
Even though the remaining seventeen contestants had essentially teamed up, the final result was still as expected.
From the start of the competition, other contestants only had the opportunity to take the lead over Bai Yu for the first ten seconds.
Ten seconds later, Bai Yu had already taken the lead and was continuing to widen her advantage.
From that moment on, Bai Yu never gave any other contestants a chance, and he led the race until the very end.
Later, according to relevant personnel who analyzed the slow-motion footage, the reason why Bai Yu was able to take the lead in the first ten seconds of the race was because his explosive power was too strong.
In ten seconds, he ran a distance of about 106 meters!
What does this mean? It means that Bai Yu's explosive speed is equivalent to that of a 100-meter sprinter, which can be completed in under ten seconds.
A time under 10 seconds for 100 meters is the time of a top sprinter, while the world record for 100 meters is 9.58 seconds.
If we calculate based on Bai Yu's time of 10.106 seconds in this race, his 100-meter time would be 9.44 seconds, which is even faster than the world record.
However, many people do not agree with this result because the 106-meter result is an estimate, not the actual measured 106 meters.
After all, Bai Yu was participating in the 5,000-meter race, which started with a bend. Bai Yu ran from the middle to the inner circle and then continued running forward. This 106-meter distance is just a guess. No one can say for sure what the exact distance is, and there will never be an actual number.
Even so, most people agree that Bai Yu's sprint time is around ten seconds, or even less than ten seconds.
Of course, all of that is for the future. Right now, Bai Yu is celebrating by walking around the field.
He successfully crossed the finish line in first place, thus winning the gold medal in the 5,000-meter race at this Olympics and completing the final piece of the puzzle for a double grand slam in the 5,000-meter event.
The moment he crossed the finish line, the entire stadium erupted in thunderous cheers.
At this moment, all the audience members present, regardless of nationality or race, gave Bai Yu their most sincere cheers.
That's how sports competitions are; when one person conquers the entire field with absolute strength, all other issues cease to matter.
Bai Yu became a triple double-club grand slam winner at this moment, and the audience witnessed the birth of this historic moment, as well as a top-level competition. Everyone was satisfied.
After the awards ceremony, Bai Yu was surrounded by reporters, who then began the interview that Bai Yu least wanted to do.
Fortunately, during this interview, Bai Yu also saw an acquaintance, a very, very familiar person, who was an employee of their company.
As mentioned before, Bai Yu's company specifically purchased a broadcasting rights in order to better broadcast Bai Yu's matches in the live stream.
Although only Bai Yu's match was authorized for broadcast, and most of the footage still needed to be filmed by him,
But this is already quite good. Bai Yu's company even sent a professional team to film it. At this moment, these people are mixed in with the reporters, filming and interviewing them.
Bai Yu's team has proper credentials, specially issued by the organizing committee, which allow them access to various competition venues and to interview the finished contestants.
Now that their boss has finished the competition and even won three double Grand Slam titles, they naturally wouldn't miss the chance to interview him.
Among the interview team, Bai Yu spotted an acquaintance. Guess what the final result will be?
The final result was that Bai Yu answered a question from another reporter, and then had his own staff ask a question, answering one question and then asking another, giving his team plenty of face.
This also relieved a lot of pressure for Bai Yu, at least he didn't have to deal with foreigners anymore, since he couldn't speak English.
Having finally endured the interview, Bai Yu immediately went to have her sample taken, then slipped away to go back with Coach Li and the others.
Bai Yu originally thought that everything was over and he could pack up and go home, but as soon as he returned to the Olympic Village, another celebration ceremony was waiting for him.
This time, it wasn't just the track and field team members waiting for him, but the entire delegation. Anyone who hadn't returned home early and was currently free of any issues came.
After all, Bai Yu's achievement this time is really amazing. It is not just a gold medal in a competition, but also represents that the yellow race has made history, an achievement that no other race can achieve.
At this moment, everyone on the team felt honored and proud of Bai Yu.
In addition, since today is the last day of the Olympic Games, most athletes have finished their competitions, so everyone can finally rest and catch their breath.
At the same time, taking advantage of Bai Yu's victory, all the athletes and staff gathered for a meal to celebrate the successful conclusion of this Olympic Games and also to celebrate our family's outstanding achievements.
This Olympic journey was filled with joy and happiness, but also with some regrets. However, in the end, the result was good, and there were no unexpected events along the way, which is enough.
At this celebratory banquet, Bai Yuna also saw the fallow deer and hare that he had brought back earlier.
The competition is now over, and all the contestants have had their samples taken. The fallow deer and hares have also undergone the necessary tests, so everyone can eat them with peace of mind.
To be honest, our chef's cooking skills are still better.
Previously, when Bai Yu was at Uncle Victor's house, he didn't eat much roasted whole deer. But after his own chef cooked it, Bai Yu ate a whole deer leg all by himself and was very happy.
After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Bai Yu returned to her room and began to rest.
Compared to Bai Yu's ability to fall asleep so easily, others were not so relaxed, and the internet was no exception.
