Chapter 2366: Chapter 600: Legendary Champion

On TV, an unknown contestant is accusing the Yellow Ball King of securing a triathlon wildcard qualification.

After all, this competition tests the endurance of contestants, and there is no preliminary, directly just one round to determine the result. So, as long as you can participate in the Olympic triathlon, you are definitely a finalist.

Getting the wildcard qualification means one person is squeezed out of the finals qualification.

The triathlon venue is set in Hyde Park, where Huang Kaiwen used to stroll around when playing for Chelsea.

So he is fairly familiar with the venue.

"How can he say that?"

The young lady said unhappily.

To watch the Olympics, Paul was settled at Beatrice’s home.

Kaka was also in London, so his wife brought two kids along, arguably the most expensive nanny.

Sitting in front of the TV waiting for the upcoming men’s team archery finals.

In the semifinals, Italy eliminated the South Korean team, and their next opponent is the USA Team.

Gagliani called to inform Huang Kaiwen that the items were delivered and immediately hung up the phone.

It’s almost August, and there are many team-related matters.

Recently, all the great clubs are in top gear, but although there aren’t any big moves, the competition for players with good value and decent skills is more intense.

Full-backs and midfielders are the most hotly contested positions among Europe’s top clubs.

Bale no longer wants to play full-back, so Milan currently has no particularly good targets.

Players available at this time are basically of lower level; wanting full-backs like Evra or Lahm is simply impossible.

Fortunately, things are going smoothly with Atletico Madrid.

Gagliani is well versed in such matters, he broke through Calderon’s Saul last season and immediately signed him outright.

The Hernandez brothers haven’t even signed their professional contracts yet, after dealing with their parents, they also became players of the Milan Youth Team.

That’s the aspect Huang Kaiwen appreciates most about Gagliani.

If you don’t have money, he can ride his bicycle across Europe to persuade expiring contract players for free transfers.

If you have money, he’s equally adept at poaching players.

At this moment, the competition finally started.

Faces on TV are all familiar.

The Brady Edson and Mauro Nespoli encountered in the morning participated in the men’s team event.

Usually, those who participate in men’s singles also compete in the men’s team event, Huang Kaiwen, who only joins individual events, is rather rare.

In team archery rankings, positions at the top directly enter the quarterfinals.

Knockout format has a group of six, with a total of four groups, and altogether 240 rings.

A team of A shoots one arrow per member, while team B shoots three arrows in two rounds, and then follow the same order to complete six arrows, this is one set.

This event is harder than individual matches, mainly because arrows from your teammates on the target might affect you, hence more practice is required.

Team event scores usually do not match those of individual matches.

An 8-ring in an individual event for top players is a significant error, but it’s common in team events, typically appearing once or twice per group.

Both the USA Team vs South Korean team and Italy’s elimination of Mexico were spectacular in the semifinals. Earlier, Italy was trailing by three rings in the last set but managed to astonishingly reverse the outcome.

Huang Kaiwen thought of something interesting, asked with a mischievous smile: "Lily, you’re American, which team are you rooting for in this match?"

"What American? I’m British!"

Lily hugged the young lady, glanced at Huang Kaiwen irritably, and said: "Of course, I’m supporting the Italy National Team!"

The first set is completed, Italy leads 54:52 over the USA Team by two rings.

Italian spectators on the scene are already cheering on the stands.

Nonetheless, the strong USA Team is highly resilient; after twenty-four arrows, they scored 218 rings, and Italy with twenty-three arrows scored 209 rings.

Mitchell Frangili is standing before the target.

Even Huang Kaiwen couldn’t help but start feeling nervous.

Even without his connection to Italy, he wouldn’t want to see the Americans win the match.

Woosh,

The next second the arrow has already struck the target.

rings!!!

The three hugged each other.

Italy beat the USA Team 219:218!

It was a thrilling reversal.

If the last arrow wasn’t a perfect 10-ring, and got a 9-ring instead, they’d enter an extra-arrow round.

The Italy Team, who was caught up after leading, had considerable psychological pressure, and might have lost the match under those circumstances.

The charm of sports competitions lies here.

The duel of skills and psychological aspects.

The thrill occasionally influenced by luck.

The exploration of human potential.

The resilience of comebacks in desperation.

The wisdom of team collaboration.

Of course, most importantly, just like Frangili, it’s the display of personal heroism!

Unreservedly, this 10-ring is the most crucial shot of his life.

Italy conquers the USA Team to win the championship, while the Little Stick can only stand on the third-place podium.

The team event has already shattered the South Korean team’s monopoly over men’s team archery.

Next is the individual event.

Huang Kaiwen only hopes to meet the Little Stick early and eliminate them prematurely.

He is powerless in the women’s events.

But in men’s singles, he can take on whoever comes, one at a time, and if two appear, he’ll take them both.

At this moment, Huang Kaiwen has already taken out his phone and posted on social media: Congratulations to the Italian Archery Team for successfully eliminating the USA Team, securing Italy Delegation’s first gold medal at this Olympics (this message is sent by Kevin’s Tea, the sponsor of the Italian Delegation, and founder Kevin himself).

On TV, the Italian contestants are already being interviewed.
