The shot put clearly pa.s.sed the 20 . 50-meter mark . However, before an official measurement was completed, there was no way to know if it had pa.s.sed Serayegev's .

Dai Li smiled . He did not actually know whether Vince Jackson's final effort was able to surpa.s.s Sergeyeva . However, it was a result that exceeded the 20 . 50-meter mark . It clearly meant that it was another form of maximized performance .

Six throws . Three times her form was maximized . The 50% success rate couldn't help but make Dai Li feel happy . It meant that the state scale was fairly practical . It was only the first day of the track and field compet.i.tions in the Olympics . There were other events such as the javelin throw, the hammer throw, long jump, h and the high jump . The state scale was suited to help in all of those events .

Of course, the condition was that the ability gap between athletes could not be too big . If the athlete couldn't even get into the final through their strength alone, there was no helping them get a medal .

In the stadium, the referee did not immediately announce the result of that throw . As it involved the winning the gold medal, the referee was very cautious, repeatedly checking for the accuracy of the result . There was no room for error .

Finally, on the scoreboard, a number appeared . At the same time, the referee announced, "20 . 66 meters!"

Vince Jackson had successfully made a complete comeback in her last throw .

Applause erupted from everywhere . The audience began cheering for Vince Jackson, and the camera pointed her way . Many athletes walked towards her and hugged her as if congratulating her .

Sergeyeva looked crestfallen . The gold medal had been within her grasp but, in the blink of an eye, it had disappeared like the wind .

Melklov was doing a deep breathing exercise to suppress the wrath he felt . He wasn't mad at his Russian athletes, nor was he mad at Russia losing a gold medal, he was angry at the strength of the U . S . team .

Melklov had initially thought that the U . S . National Track and Field Team that was affected by the performance-enhancing drug team was significantly weakened and that they had lost their compet.i.tive edge in many events . However, that wasn't the case . At least when it came to the shot put event, he had been very wrong . The U . S . team sent out an obscure athlete that won the gold medal .

The camera stopped and focused on Vince Jackson . At that moment, the 19-year-old girl did not look excited, she looked dumbfounded . It was as if she wasn't aware of what was happening, that she had really won an Olympic gold medal .

This was her first time entering the Olympic . Heck, it was her first time taking part in an international compet.i.tion and she had won the gold medal . To Vince Jackson, it was more fantasy than reality .

She did not prepare anything to say in interviews . She was unprepared for anything related to winning the gold medal, so when the journalists flocked towards and surrounded her, she did not know what to do .

. . .

In the TV studio, two commentators began discussing the compet.i.tion .

"I originally thought that she was partic.i.p.ating just to gain some experience . Who'd have thought she would win and become the champion? Does this count as an upset?"

"It could be considered an upset . I'd never even heard of Vince Jackson before all of this . She never partic.i.p.ated in any international compet.i.tion, so she had zero points on the International a.s.sociation of Athletics Federation table . However, she is an American athlete . I feel that when it comes to track and field, an American athlete winning the champions.h.i.+p shouldn't be counted as an upset . "

"That sounds about right . The U . S . is deservedly called the world's strongest country in track and field . At first, I thought that the performance-enhancing drug scandal would negatively affect the U . S . team, but it seems that they are still showing us just how scary they are . They have far too many exceptional athletes in their country . They sent an unknown athlete out, and she became a champion . "

"This is also the first track and field gold medal for the U . S . team in this Olympics, right? Getting a gold medal on the first day of track and field events . That is certainly a good start . "

. . .

The CEO of the American Track and Field a.s.sociation, Williams, was already in bad . He read a book and laid down, ready to rest .

"Dear, the track and field compet.i.tion starts today, right?" His wife asked .

"Yup, that's right . The track and field compet.i.tion starts today," Williams answered vaguely .

"Why aren't you watching the games? You are the CEO . Don't tell me you don't care about the team?" His wife asked .

"There's no need to watch . The current team is too weak and there aren't that many events where the team can win a gold medal . Today is the first day of the track and field compet.i.tions, so there are only three gold medals . The U . S . team definitely won't be getting any of them," Williams answered .

"Then what about silver or bronze medal?" His wife continued asking .

"The silver and bronze medals are also out of reach for the U . S . team . We got nothing in the women's 10,000 meters race walking as well as the men's 20 kilometers race walking in the morning . In the women's shot put final at night, we only had one unknown athlete get into the final, and it's her first time partic.i.p.ating in an international compet.i.tion . It was an achievement that avoided elimination in the first three rounds . " Williams turned over and faced away from his wife, clearly done talking about the topic .

At that moment, a phone rang .

Williams was ready to sleep, but someone had to call and disturb him . It made him furious .

Williams looked at the caller ID on his phone . It was Frey calling .

"This bast*rd . Does he not know what time it is? This is my personal time!" Williams snorted coldly . Frey was definitely calling about work, and Williams hated talking about work-related matters on his own time .

"h.e.l.lo, it's me . What's the matter?" Williams picked up the phone, and his tone was icy . He made his dissatisfaction clear .

However, Frey did not feel it at all . He was very enthusiastic . "Mr . Williams, good news, we made an upset! We've got a gold medal!"

"Upset? Gold medal? Us? You mean the U . S . national team? Or do you mean a track and field event?" Williams asked immediately .

"It's track and field! Women's shot put . Vince Jackson won!" Frey exclaimed .

"Vince Jackson," Williams repeated the name once but it was unfamiliar . He subconsciously asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

"Of course! Why would I lie to you? If you turn on your TV now, you can still see the awards ceremony!" Frey said .

Williams stood up, walked towards the TV, and turned it on .

The shot put awards ceremony had just begun .

A familiar song rang about . It was the U . S . national anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner . "

"Oh, say can you see…"

Williams could not help but raise his voice and sing along .
