The whole audience was shocked!
8.42 meters, a new national record!
The national record for long jump is still 8.40 meters set at the 1997 National Track and Field Championships. Although the long jump level of domestic athletes has always been very good, this national record still stood for nine years and was only broken by Zhang Guan today.
Zhang Guan is the strongest sprinter in the world. After all, he has extraordinary physical talent and his high level of long jump is expected by many people. However, no one thought that Zhang Guan could break the national record in the long jump event.
The previous national record of 8.40 meters was also an Asian record at the time. This result is also regarded as a top result in the world. Based on the standard of the Athens Olympics, the champion's result at that time was 8.59 meters, and the runner-up's result It is 8.47 meters, and the third place result is 8.32 meters, which means that the national record of 8.40 meters can get a third place even in the Athens Olympics.
The Athens Olympics is an Olympic Games with a relatively high level of long jump in recent years. If it were in the 2008 Olympics, the 8.40-meter event would be enough to win the gold medal, because the champion Saladino's long jump score at the time was only 8.34. rice.
The Asian record of 10 seconds in the 100-meter dash may not even qualify for the Olympic finals, but a national record in the long jump can win an Olympic medal. This also shows from the side that the level of the national team in the long jump is much better than that in the sprint. So from this perspective, the national record in the long jump is more valuable than the national record in the 100-meter dash.
Of course, this result is still far from the world record. The world record of the long jump is similar to the world record of the 400-meter dash. Both are extremely abnormal results. The world record of 8.95 meters set by American Mike Powell in 1991 is also regarded as impossible to be achieved within fifty years. Broken, so the long jump world record cannot be measured according to conventional standards.
…
"Zhang Guan broke the national record! He actually broke the national record in the long jump!" Coach Zhou's heart suddenly felt like thousands of horses galloping. Next, Coach Zhou shouted excitedly, and other coaches and athletes from the provincial team also Let’s celebrate together.
On the rostrum, Director Ma smiled almost to his earlobes. As a coach with a background in long jump, Director Ma naturally has a special affection for long jump. In the 1980s, he was still the coach of the national team and his disciple. He once broke the national record, and today, the most proud disciple in his life broke the national record again.
For Director Ma, this is a surprise, a huge surprise!
Next to him, Director Yu felt as if he had broken all kinds of condiment bottles, filled with infinite emotions.
"It has only been three months since Zhang Guan started long jump training!" Director Yu muttered quietly.
Director Ma usually sits in the capital, but Director Yu is always with Zhang Guan. He has an incomparable understanding of Zhang Guan's training arrangements. It has only been three months since Zhang Guan officially started long jump training. In normal training time, the long jump event actually only occupies one-third of the training time. At other times, Zhang Guan is still training for sprinting. In addition, during this period, Zhang Guan is still training for sprints. During the time when Guan was competing abroad, Zhang Guan spent very little time training on the long jump event.
But even so, Zhang Guan still broke the national record in the long jump within three months. Director Yu knew that if the news was released, it would definitely cause a sensation in the entire track and field world.
This trial jump competition was so dramatic. Originally, Zhang Guan's score of 8.12 meters seemed to have sealed the championship, but Zhou Can's score of 8.14 meters told everyone that the championship had just begun. At the beginning, Li Dalong immediately raised his score to 8.17 meters, making the competition more intense. Li Run's score of 8.20 meters seemed to declare that he was the winner.
The three athletes made three trial jumps, and Zhang Guan went from first place to fourth place. Just when everyone was guessing what Zhang Guan would do next, Zhang Guan responded directly with a new national record!
Li Run stood in the athletes' preparation area, looking at the results on the scoreboard, with helplessness on his face.
"National record! New national record!" In Li Run's mind, the new national record of 8.42 meters kept rolling, and Li Run also knew that with his results, it was impossible to achieve this level. Even in training, he never exceeded this result.
"Come on! Maybe you can do it in the future!" Zhou Can's voice sounded from behind Li Run. Li Run turned around and found a smile on Zhou Can's face, and this smile felt so bitter. .
Zhou Can continued: "I'm not young anymore, and now my body is at its limit. I guess I can't get better results, but you are still young. You are only 23 years old this year, and you still have a lot of progress." space!"
"Brother Zhou, please stop laughing at me. Zhang Guan is only 20 years old and has already broken the national record..." Li Run said.
Zhou Can interrupted Li Run: "Don't compare with Zhang Guan! How many foreigners with abnormal bodies can't compare with him, how can we compare with him? This guy is a genius and a monster! So don't think about surpassing Zhang Guan, let's do it Just be good to yourself and give your best in the game.”
…
The pace of athletes in long jump competitions is very fast. It only takes more than a minute for an athlete to prepare to complete the jump. Basically, the first athlete leaves the competition venue and the next athlete is already standing in the approach area.
However, the birth of a new national record obviously affected the rhythm of the entire long jump competition. The long jump competition was paused for nearly ten minutes before continuing.
Now there are only four jumps, and there are still two final jumps. Although the long jump championship is a foregone conclusion, the battle between second and third place is still not over.
In the fifth round of trial jumps, the athletes who originally aspired to win the championship also knew that there was no hope of winning, so they relaxed. As a result, their jump results were quite good, among which Zhou Can also jumped 8.20 meters. .
According to the rules of the long jump competition, if the best results of two athletes are the same, the second best result will be compared. Zhou Can and Li Run both jumped 8.20 seconds, but Zhou Can's second best time was higher, so Zhou Can is now the player most likely to win the silver medal.
The first seven contestants finished their appearance one after another, and Zhang Guan started his fifth trial jump.
When the championship has been won, many players will choose to give up the game, especially some old players with old injuries, who will choose to take a symbolic dance. Of course, there are also players who will challenge the extreme results without any worries.
Zhang Guan stood in the run-up area, moved his body a little, and got ready for the game.
In the entire stadium, all eyes were focused on Zhang Guan, and the picture on the big screen also switched to Zhang Guan's game. No one knew what choice Zhang Guan would make next, whether to give up the game or move forward further. Distance challenges.
"Brother Zhou, do you think Zhang Guan will give up the next two trial jumps like he did in the qualifying round? He has an 800-meter final in the evening, so he should choose to save his energy now!" Li Run asked Zhou beside him Chan.
Zhou Can shook his head: "Absolutely not. I guess Zhang Guan will continue to challenge new distances! He is the world champion of sprinting. People who can become world champions have the heart of a champion. No one among them will Give up easily!"
As soon as Zhou Can finished speaking, Zhang Guan had already started running.
Director Ma leaned forward, stretched his neck vigorously, and looked at Zhang Guan who was taking a run.
"I haven't given up the game, Zhang Guan is going to give it a try!" Director Ma said.
Director Ma's judgment was based on Zhang Guan's approach speed. In this trial jump, Zhang Guan's approach speed was still the same as before, reaching the limit.
If you want to get better results in the long jump competition, the faster the approach speed is of course the better. If Zhang Guan is ready to give up the competition, a symbolic jump will be enough. There is no need to use extreme speed for the approach.
When Director Ma finished speaking these words, Zhang Guan had already completed the take-off, and his body drew a perfect trajectory in the air, soaring in the air like a giant eagle soaring.
Retracting his legs and preparing to land, Zhang Guan has already passed the eight-meter line. Although Zhang Guan has not yet landed, professionals have guessed that Zhang Guan's performance in this jump must be very good.
The referee's white flag was raised, and he fell to the ground at the same time, and then took advantage of the situation and stood up.
"Zhang Guan exceeded 8.40 meters again! It seems further than before!"
"No, this is already 8.50 meters tall!"
In the fourth jump just now, Zhang Guan exceeded 8.40 meters, but judging from the traces of jumping into the pit, it was only a little over. This time, the jumper had already reached the 8.50 mark. Therefore, Zhang Guan's jump must be farther than the previous jump. As for whether the final score of 8.50 meters can be achieved, it depends on the final measurement results.
"It's farther than last time. This seems to be another national record!"
“It’s amazing to break the national record twice in one day!”
"Not in one day, but twice in a row, breaking the national record twice..."
The surveyor walked up to the sand pool and carefully measured Zhang Guan's final score. This was bound to be another national record-breaking score, so he was extremely careful at this time and did not dare to make any mistakes.
The surveyor's face suddenly changed. It was obvious that he had measured Zhang Guan's score, and this score was enough to surprise him.
The surveyor took a deep breath and shouted out Zhang Guan's final score in front of everyone's expectant eyes.
"8.49 meters!"
The next moment, in the coaching area and athlete area, there was applause and bursts of cheers from Shuai Xian.
On the podium.
"Old Yu, pinch me!" Director Ma said.
Director Yu really pinched Director Ma's arm, and then asked, "Does it hurt?"
Director Ma nodded seriously: "It hurts! It's true."
"8.49 meters! This is the new Asian record! We have regained the Asian record in the long jump!"
