The next morning, CCTV 5 broadcast news about the Olympic Games.

"We continue to pay attention to the news of the Los Angeles Olympic Games! In the preliminaries of the equestrian triathlon team competition that ended yesterday afternoon in Los Angeles time, the Chinese team composed of Zhang Da, Hua Tian and Sun Donghua successfully advanced to the finals!

Zhang Da, as a popular player in this year's equestrian triathlon individual competition, still performed very well in the team competition. He ranked first in the preliminaries in all three events, and also scored 120 points for the Chinese team.

...

Let’s pay attention to the Olympic gold medal list! Currently, the Chinese team and the Citi team have won 39 gold medals each, tied for the top of the gold medal list..."

Citigroup, Fan Jiang and others were dining in a restaurant in Chinatown as night fell.

On the TV in the restaurant's private room, Citi Sports' report on the Olympic gold medal list was also playing.

Fan Jiang asked: "We are now tied for first place with the United States. How many events are left with gold medals that have not yet been decided?"

Cheng Mingming said: "There are 18 gold medals left."

Fan Jiang asked curiously: "Oh, you know all this?"

"The group will report the situation of the Olympics every day, and I watch it every day." Cheng Mingming explained, "Because Zhang Da participated in the Olympics, employees in the company are very concerned about this matter."

"So, Zhang Da's next competition is very important." Fan Jiang thought for a while and said, "We ranked 8th in the preliminaries of the team competition. There is no hope of winning the championship, but he still has great hope in the individual competition."

Shen Haoran complained: "That's the truth, but don't put more pressure on Zhang Da."

Fan Jiang shrugged and said, "It's okay, Brother Shen, Zhang Da can't hear it anyway."

In the Olympic Village, Zhang Da, who had already had dinner, was walking in the dormitory area with his coach and teammates.

"The schedule of the finals is the same as that of the preliminaries. We will start with the individual events first." The coach said as he walked, "There are still two days left before the start of the finals. The training in these two days will focus on maintaining your condition. Don't overdo it.

To prevent the horse from becoming tired.

This time we have achieved the best result of the national equestrian team in the Olympics, so don’t be burdened and just enjoy the competition!"

Huatian and Sun Donghua nodded and said, "Okay, coach."

"No problem, coach."

Zhang Da, who had always been very relaxed, also responded.

...

Two days later, the finals of the equestrian event began on time.

As a matter of course, CCTV 5 broadcast this much-anticipated final.

In the studio, the director looked at the rising real-time ratings, and his face instantly blossomed with joy.

The commentator is also eloquent:

“The next thing to be done is the competition for the finals of the equestrian triathlon individual competition. The schedule of this competition is relatively long and takes a total of 2 days.

Zhang Da, who represents the Chinese team, is a strong contender for the championship in this event. He also took first place in the preliminaries.

Therefore, as the preliminary champion, he will be the last to appear in the final..."

In the audience, the smile on the director's face froze instantly.

He clearly saw that when the commentator said that Zhang Da would not appear until the end, the real-time ratings instantly dropped by more than half.

He quickly took the small blackboard from the staff and hurriedly wrote a line on it: "Mention more content related to Zhang Da!!!"

In order to attract the commentator's attention, he specially added three exclamation points.

"Ahem..." The commentator who was introducing the rules of the competition quickly changed the topic, "In the current gold medal list, the Chinese team and Citigroup are tied for the top spot, so if Zhang Da can win the championship in the final, then we may be on the gold medal list.

Take the lead..."

Looking at the ratings that were gradually recovering, the director let out a sigh of relief.

Three hours later, the program’s ratings finally reached a new high!

There is no other reason than that Zhang Da once again received perfect scores in the first dressage competition.

Although many viewers still don't understand the ins and outs of equestrian, everyone still understands the formula of "full score = championship".

At the scene, Cheng Mingming and others all stood up and applauded Zhang Da non-stop.

Fan Jiang said excitedly: "Looking at this posture, Zhang Da seems to be really going to win the championship!"

Shao Yu complained: "I found out, you have really been poisoning me, brother."

"It's okay, with Zhang Da's strength, no one can help him!" Fan Jiang said proudly, "Look, there were so many players cheating on him before the game, didn't he still get full marks? As long as he has strong strength

Once it’s in place, other factors don’t matter!”

Shao Yu: "..."

She was suddenly worried that if this continued, Zhang Da would really overturn in the finals.

Fortunately, the performance of Zhang Dahe's system is as stable as ever.

Whether it was the remaining competitions in the dressage event, or the obstacle course and cross-country competition on the next day, Zhang Da's performance was perfect.

He scored perfect marks in all dressage competitions, and also came out on top in the jumping and cross-country events.

In this way, Zhang Da naturally won the gold medal in the individual equestrian event.

The award ceremony was arranged on the equestrian field.

"Rise up, you who do not want to be slaves..."

Standing on the podium of the Olympic Games and listening to the national anthem, Zhang Da finally couldn't help but get excited.

This kind of happiness is countless times more intense than the happiness of "cheating" in equestrian competitions.

So much so that Zhang Da couldn't help but wonder, will participating in the Olympics be a regular part of his schedule in the future?

Or, simply go to the golf course and experience the feeling of winning the championship?

As long as there is no second cheater on the planet, no one should be able to challenge his position as champion.

Thinking of this, Zhang Da showed a heartfelt smile on his face.

In the subsequent team competition finals, although the Chinese team failed to get on the podium, they still finished fifth in the overall score.

This undoubtedly created the best result of the national equestrian team in the Olympic Games.

The coach of the national team was naturally very excited. Hua Tian and Sun Donghua also found Zhang Da privately.

Sun Donghua said: "Zhang Da, thank you very much. If you hadn't been with me, I probably wouldn't have been able to touch the lawn of the finals in this life."

Huatian also said with emotion: "Yes, this is the first time we have reached the finals in a team competition!"

"Both brothers, keep working hard. Let's try to get on the podium next time." Zhang Da said, "To be honest, I think equestrian is a very healthy sport and it is suitable to be a lifelong hobby."

Hearing what Zhang Da said, Hua Tian and Sun Donghua's eyes lit up at the same time.

If Zhang Da's "long-term thigh" is here, getting on the podium in the Olympic team competition doesn't seem to be an unreachable goal, right?

After all, we already finished fifth this time. As long as we advance two more places, wouldn't we be able to achieve our goal?

Thinking of this, the two of them suddenly put aside the joy in their hearts and wished they could return to the equestrian field and start training immediately.

At the end of the Olympic Games, the Chinese team topped the gold medal list with 40 gold medals, beating the Citi team by one gold medal.
Chapter completed!
