The Olympic Games gave birth to many heroes, composed many hymns, and the glory of the gold medal illuminated countless bright smiling faces.
In fact, there is only one gold medal in each event, the Olympic Games are the Waterloo of more people, and countless people shed sad tears at the Olympic Games.
Since so many people are sad and disappointed, shouldn't the Olympic Games set up a project to award gold medals to the most sad and disappointed athletes to show humanistic care?
So, who is most qualified for the Olympic gold medal in the sad disappointment event? Of course: the Americans — Matthew. Emmons!
At the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, the 23-year-old Emmons was young and crazy, and the spring breeze was proud, and he participated in the shooting of the men's 50m rifle three postures and entered the final. After the first nine shots, Emmons led the second place by as many as 3 rings. Leading the 3 rings is a huge advantage, as long as the last shot can hit a 7 rings, the gold medal can fall into the bag, and playing 7 rings for professional athletes is as simple as standing at the edge of the pond and throwing a stone to hit the water. At this time, most of the reporters' press releases of "Emmons won the gold medal" were written, holding the mouse and waiting to press the send button.
However, no one expected that after Emmons's bullet was fired, there was no record on his target paper. Match officials inspected the target paper, which left no trace of the bullet, and the officer signaled to Emmons that "it could be fired." Emmons revealed his shell and said with a puzzled face, "I have fired." At this moment, the No. 3 target paper showed that it had been hit twice, the two bullets were 10.6 rings and 8.1 rings.
The three officers gathered around and finally concluded that Emmons' last shot was 0 rings, and he shot the wrong target! And those two achievements, no matter which one is Emmons's, as long as he hits his own target, he will be firmly on the championship throne.
In the end, Chinese athlete Jia Zhanbo took advantage of Emmons's mistake to win the gold medal. Emmons fell off a cliff and finished only 8th.
At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, history repeats itself again, the same 50-meter rifle three-position final, the same top 9 guns lead, this time Emmons has a larger, 3.3 ring lead.
Maybe he remembered Athens 4 years ago, when everyone else had finished playing, except that Emmons hadn't pulled the trigger yet. All waited with bated breath for Emmons' last gunshot. Uh-huh—fortunately, this time Emmons didn't get the target wrong, wow—all of a sudden the whole audience commotioned, and all of a sudden their mouths were wide open, 4.4 rings!
4.4 rings, the lowest record for all shooters in this Olympic Games.
This time, of course, it was the Chinese player who picked up the basket, but the name was changed from Jia Zhanbo to Qiu Jian. Because all three of the others played well in their last bullets, Emmons only finished fourth.
At the 2012 London Olympics, the 31-year-old Emmons made a comeback, and after the first nine rounds of the men's 50m rifle three-position final, he was 5.8 rings behind the first place and 1.2 rings ahead of the third place, in a position of silver and gold. History is always strikingly similar, and Emmons' last shot was an unexpected mistake, 7.6 rings! Earn a bronze medal. It wasn't Chinese who won the gold medal this time. Emmons did not lose the championship, and the final shot of the three Olympic Games improved steadily (0, 4.4, 7.6 rings, respectively), and it is not very sad.
The last shot mistake of three consecutive Olympic Games made Emmons famous all over the world, and he won the reputation of "King of 9 Guns", "Mr. Last Shot", "First Place in the Top Ten Unlucky People in the Olympic Games" and so on. It was as if there was no one in the world who was more miserable than him.
Under the cover of his aura of bad luck, everyone in the world forgot: he was an Olympic gold, silver and bronze medalist, an incomparably successful athlete; he had gained beautiful love by losing the last shot; and his wife was also an Olympic gold medalist.
Before losing the 50m three-position gold medal in 2004, Emmons had already won the gold medal in the 50m horizontal shot. He began to learn to shoot at the age of 14, winning all the world championships, runners-up and third place, and is a gold, silver and bronze Grand Slam winner.
After losing the 50m three-position gold medal in 2004, a beautiful Czech female shooter was so shocked that out of sympathy, she took the initiative to find him, soft-hearted, and finally became his wife in 2007, changing her name: Caterina Emmons.
Before losing the 50m Sanzi gold medal in 2008, his beautiful new wife, Caterina Emmons, had already shot down the gold medal in the women's 10m air rifle, and it was a victory over the famous Chinese Du Li, breaking the Olympic record held by Du Li and winning the first gold medal at the Beijing Olympic Games. It is very interesting that this time, Du Li, who lost the gold medal and cried a lot, gained the love of Pang Wei who came to comfort her (what did she learn?). You get the idea).
Recently, the American Shooting Association announced the list of participants in the Rio Olympic Games, and Matthew Emmons led the finalists.
Let's look forward to Matthew. Emmons's last shot at the Rio Olympics!
At that time, it is estimated that the entire stadium audience will hide under the chairs with their heads held, because no one knows where he will shoot.
If you are sitting in front of the TV, please sit a little off.
