Chapter 737 Gold Medal Competition
The last event of every Olympic Games is usually the men's marathon.
This is also the last medal!
In this event, black people have always been stronger. In many competitions, African countries often win gold medals.
But this year, something unexpected happened.
A naturalized black athlete from the United States had achieved excellent results in several marathon competitions before, and he is also a strong contender for the men's marathon gold medal in this Paris Olympics.
"The competition in the medal table is very fierce."
Zhang Zhaoyang checked the latest medal table and said, "The United States is now ranked first, with a total of 112 gold, silver and bronze medals. There is also a men's marathon behind it, and it is said that there is a great chance of winning the gold medal, which is 113 medals."
"And we are ranked second, with a total of 88 medals. It seems that there is no chance to win the first place."
Mo Yu was also checking the medal table at this time.
The Olympics have reached the final stage, and there are only a few events left to compete.
Even if China wins all the championships in the future, it will not have a chance to compete for the first place in the medal table.
"I'm afraid I can't get the first place in total medals, but I think there is still a chance in the gold medal list." Mo Yu shook his head.
"What do you mean?"
Zhang Zhaoyang didn't react for a while, and looked down to check the number of gold medals of China and the United States. Then he suddenly figured it out, slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "Hey, there is really a chance!"
Seeing this reaction, Mo Yu knew that Zhang Zhaoyang understood.
In terms of total medals, China is definitely not better than the United States. The gap is too big, but there is a chance in terms of gold medals.
"Now the United States has 38 gold medals, and we have 37 gold medals, only one difference."
"And among the events scheduled for the last day of the Paris Olympics, there are only a few that have not been completed yet, and among these events, China and the United States have the most hope of winning gold medals in only three events."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Zhaoyang immediately followed up: "GAG, DOTA, men's marathon!"
"That's right!"
Mo Yu nodded.
In previous years, the last day of the Olympics was often the key to the United States surpassing China in the number of gold medals.
But the arrangement of this Paris Olympics is different.
The United States has basically finished all its advantageous events, so it has locked the first place in the medal list early.
The situation is similar for China.
So the key to the gold medal competition is the last three events.
There is no need to say much about the men's marathon.
GAG and DOTA, the two major e-sports events, have a long schedule, many participating countries, and each game is BO3 and BO5, which takes a long time, so the winner will also be decided on the last day.
"The current situation is that the men's marathon, we have no chance; GAG United States has no chance, the champion is likely to be between China and South Korea; DOTA United States has great hope."
"If we can get two gold medals in e-sports events, then the first place in the gold medal list will be stable!"
Mo Yu analyzed it carefully.
The trend of the two major e-sports events is different from the results he judged before.
GAG is not bad. The 16 teams that advanced have been playing until the end. The national teams that performed well were eventually eliminated. The final champions are indeed China and South Korea.
DOTA surprised him.
After so many games, the strength comparison of DOTA countries is now more obvious.
According to the country, there are basically four countries at the top, Ukraine, Russia, China, and the United States!
Even looking at the situation in recent years, the performance of Ukraine and Russia may even be superior to the other two countries.
But in this Olympics, Ukraine and Russia both fell in the semi-finals. In the third and fourth battle, Ukraine defeated Russia and has locked the bronze medal. Now only China and the United States have entered the finals and will compete for the gold medal on the last day of the Olympics.
So the current situation is very clear.
For the men's marathon, basically don't think about it in China. The gold medal will most likely be produced by the United States and the African countries, among which the United States has the highest probability of winning the gold medal because of the naturalized player.
For GAG, the United States has no hope, and it didn't even get the bronze medal. The gold medal will only be produced between China and South Korea.
The final DOTA gold medal will be produced between China and the United States.
But in terms of the number of gold medals, there is only one difference between China and the United States!
"If there are no accidents in other events, and no one from China or the United States wins a gold medal, then the last chance will fall on men's horse racing, GAG, and DOTA."
"If the United States wins the gold medals in men's horse racing and DOTA, then we have no chance."
"On the contrary, if we can win the gold medals in DOTA and GAG, we can come from behind and take the first place in the gold medal list!"
Mo Yu made a brief analysis and explained the current situation of the Olympics clearly.
Zhang Zhaoyang also understood it clearly.
"I didn't expect that the final key to the first place in the gold medal competition would fall on the two major e-sports events. I'm afraid there will be a good show to watch!"
"Yes!" Mo Yu nodded and said, "I believe that everyone who pays attention to the Olympics can see it clearly. Now it is probably really the focus of the world. The final decisive battle is coming."
Zhang Zhaoyang agreed with what he said.
In the Olympics, the medal competition has always been the most eye-catching event.
It is said that friendship comes first and competition comes second, but in real terms, who is not chasing the gold medal?
In peacetime, the stadium is the battlefield!
China and the United States, in particular, tend to rank first and second every time the Olympics are held. Except for those games held in their own countries, this ranking has basically not changed.
This is true whether it is the total number of medals or the number of gold medals.
But this year there was actually suspense.
Who can judge the winner until the last moment?
As expected, many analysis and prediction posts soon appeared on the Internet. Everyone was guessing who among China and the United States would take first place in the end. In the remaining events, which country would win the gold medal?
In the end, all the analysis results were summarized, and they were basically similar to Mo Yu's judgment.
The key lies in the final e-sports event!
"The fight for the gold medal!"
"The final decisive battle!"
"Who can win the gold medal first?"
Strong public opinion is fermenting, and netizens all over the world are paying attention and looking forward to the final result.
Amid this strong expectation, the last day of the Olympic Games finally arrived.
August 11th.
At 8:30 in the morning, in the e-sports venue specially renovated and built by France for e-sports projects, all parties had already gathered, and the venue was full.
The huge venue is filled with spectators and reporters, and prominent figures in the e-sports world can be seen everywhere in the crowd, including professional players, club owners, hosts, and commentators. You can easily spot them with a quick glance at the camera.
In the audience.
Countless Chinese and American flags have already been raised, and fans from both countries are dancing crazily.
Backstage, the players were already in place and making final preparations before the game. (End of chapter)
