Chapter 2392: Chapter 605: Your Horse Is Gone

It’s not like F1 where you can succeed and get sky-high sponsorship.

The return rate is indeed very low.

United States contestant Ritchie Phelis shouted sarcastically: "The competition is only halfway through, you think you’ve already won?"

Jaco Schroeder responded angrily with a middle finger.

He handed the horse to the coaching team, then sat down next to Huang Kaiwen and said: "In the preliminaries, he didn’t outrun me, yet he keeps talking like this."

"Americans always have this confidence of being number one in the world."

Huang Kaiwen said with a smile.

"Yeah, yeah!"

Jaco Schroeder nodded and said: "They love to mock others’ English accents, but they admire the London accent, these bumpkins."

Gerrod didn’t lower his voice, and many athletes nearby laughed along.

Because Americans can really be annoying at times.

Mikan, who had finished his competition, shouted: "And they’re always eating, clutching soda and popcorn, eating non-stop, and even when walking, they’re holding Snapple or Starbucks."

"They can’t handle others’ criticisms."

"Yeah, they love to say ’You’re not local, you have no right to speak anything.’"

"Americans are very noisy, they’re as annoying as South Koreans."

"I think they’re like Japanese, with exaggerated reactions like ’Oh my god, it’s so delicious, it’s amazing!’ when eating."

Huang Kaiwen stayed silent beside them, only snickering, drawing glares from the United States coaching team.

Can’t blame Yellow Ball King for this.

Isn’t it because the Americans have annoyed too many people outside?

Ritchie Phelis wanted to say something.

Huang Kaiwen pointed at him and shouted: "Buddy, don’t say anything, your horse is gone."

Phelis’s horse ran away, and the arena was once again filled with schadenfreude laughter.

"Warm up, Kevin, it’s your turn."

The team leader came over to remind him.

Huang Kaiwen pushed off the cement ground with both hands to stand up, then dusted off his riding pants, and got up to walk towards Sang Biao.

This Hanoverian horse is indeed excellent.

Previously, it accompanied him and a German taxi driver in a chase and managed to rush into Allianz Arena.

At least in terms of stamina and speed, there are no issues.

The young lady is somewhat worried that Sang Biao might be uncontrollable.

Previously, it couldn’t stop at Allianz, and this time it will compete in front of tens of thousands of people.

Lately, Huang Kaiwen’s horse training focused mainly on this, hoping Sang Biao can adapt to the noisy environment and concentrate on jumping obstacles.

In training, its performance was good, but the specific situation will need to be seen during the competition.

Huang Kaiwen rode Sang Biao along the outskirts of Greenwich Racecourse, winding to the western entrance.

Wearing a red knight’s outfit, Huang Kaiwen immediately grabbed the fans’ attention.

The on-site DJ enthusiastically shouted: "Here comes the King of London, who once desperately saved more than 30 families, bringing countless honors on the pitch to London, Sir Kevin!"

Roar——

Greenwich Racecourse became restless.

Sang Biao obviously seemed a bit flustered, Huang Kaiwen quickly exerted force with his legs, tightened the reins, and two seconds later, Sang Biao’s condition improved quite a bit.

As a police horse, its stability is still relatively assured.

Huang Kaiwen waved to the stands, exerting force with his legs to control Sang Biao as it started to run, preparing to jump over the first obstacle.

The first obstacle isn’t very high, and the width is simple, just an ordinary wooden obstacle.

About three meters from a double-decker bus, Huang Kaiwen tapped with his right foot, Sang Biao began to accelerate, with all its hooves exerting force, Huang Kaiwen bent down to cooperate, Sang Biao successfully cleared an obstacle.

Immediately afterward, it carried Huang Kaiwen to the next obstacle.

"Next is a set of poles of varying heights, the height is quite ordinary at 1.4 meters, but the width is challenging for the horse, can the horse make the right judgment... Jumped, beautiful, cleared!"

Then it cleared a set of double bars.

By now, Sang Biao had reached the front of the clock tower.

The clock tower is the tallest obstacle of all.

Moreover, what’s challenging for the horse is that after completing this jump, there are two consecutive obstacles next.

Without sufficient sprint space, it really tests the horse’s strength.

That’s why no one has faith in Huang Kaiwen.

Huang Kaiwen’s height and weight give the horse a greater burden compared to those players around 1.7 meters tall.

Even if the horse clears the obstacles without knocking down poles, it might affect the speed.

Xu Xiaomei said, "We see that players hardly decelerate, that’s because the rules of the competition require the horse’s speed to reach 375 meters per minute, demanding completion of all 15 obstacles within 80 seconds."

After accelerating, Sen Biao successfully jumped over the 1.65-meter clock tower.

It continued to accelerate, and with powerful hind legs, successfully cleared the first set of obstacles.

It immediately jumped over the second obstacle.

Applause broke out at the scene.

Huang Kaiwen quickly tightened the horse’s belly, controlling Sen Biao to keep running.

"Beautiful!"

Zhang instructed, "The difficulty with those three obstacles was firstly the lack of sprinting space, and secondly, after the clock tower, there are two sets of obstacles. The first set is 1.6 meters wide, the second became standard obstacles, all the same color, even people might make a judgment mistake, and horses can easily have problems. Fortunately, Huang Kaiwen and Sen Biao got past them successfully."

"Yes, this set of obstacles is designed to mislead."

The next two sets of obstacles, as Sen Biao ran quite fast and out of control, Huang Kaiwen completed them almost non-stop.

At this point, the course is already half completed.

"Now come three consecutive obstacles of the same style, except the first set is standard width, the other two have widths of eighty centimeters. Earlier a player didn’t notice and knocked down the pole when jumping the second set, Huang Kaiwen must be careful."

"Here comes, jump, jump again, triple jump... Beautiful, Huang Kaiwen and Sen Biao spent less time on this target, some spectators are already standing!"

After landing, Sen Biao didn’t slow down and continued to carry Huang Kaiwen at full speed.

This guy is quite considerate, even after being frightened it still remembers its duty.

Huang Kaiwen decided, if he could win the gold this time, to retire it and take good care of it at home, and provide it with two companions.

William tightened Kate’s hand in the stands.

He’s always liked horse riding.

But the skill level is just mediocre.

Kate comforted softly, "Don’t worry, Kevin will definitely win."

"No, I’m afraid he’ll win." William said somewhat sadly, "I’ve bet on others, if he wins, won’t I seem very foolish?"

The next set of obstacles is sailboat-like, with white poles painted black in the middle to affect the horse.

Horses primarily see blue, yellow, and the gray scale between these two colors.

Black and white can still interfere with the horse’s eyes to some extent.

Moreover, the height of this obstacle has also been increased.

Huang Kaiwen felt Sen Biao’s emotion, squeezed his feet, and leaned forward, as Sen Biao decisively accelerated and jumped successfully over the obstacle.

Without touching the pole!!!

"Saint Kevin!"

"Saint Kevin!"

"Saint Kevin!"

Now there are sporadic cheers.

The rest of the audience is mainly afraid of affecting the horse.

Huang Kaiwen also breathed a sigh of relief.

Previously, the coach and other players told him, whatever happens, your confidence must not waver.

In horse racing, a knight’s emotions are very sensitive. If you hesitate even slightly, the horse might go on strike.

The last are two sets of knight’s poles, the second set with added width.

This is already the critical moment.

Huang Kaiwen fiercely squeezed the horse’s belly with his feet, after accelerating Sen Biao leaped and successfully cleared the first pole, then with unabated speed accelerated again.

Over!!!!

One man and one horse ran out a few steps, the timer then stopped.

"77 seconds 56, 77 seconds 56, Huang Kaiwen is currently the fastest among all 23 players who completed the match." Cai Meng shouted excitedly, "I don’t know what will happen next, but Huang Kaiwen’s result should secure him a medal."

"Our equestrian events started relatively late, but it’s a lucky day for today’s audience, we might see the national equestrian medal achieve a breakthrough from zero to one, Huang Kaiwen and Sen Biao really performed brilliantly today!"

Greenwich Racecourse is already in a frenzy.

William forgot his identity and cheered madly with other spectators.

Huang Kaiwen raised his hand to greet the audience, and the startled Sen Biao suddenly accelerated, bouncing him out of the venue.
