All eyes were on Zhang Guan. The third trial jump of the competition was already quite eye-catching, and Zhang Guan made his debut in the long jump for the first time, so of course he became the focus of attention.
Although many people are not optimistic that Zhang Guan can squeeze into the top eight with one trial jump, almost everyone believes that Zhang Guan's long jump strength should not be too weak, because there are many 100-meter dash champions in history. He has achieved good results in the long jump.
"Zhang Guan started his approach! His approach is so fast! It reminds me of Lewis." Long jump world record holder Mike Powell inexplicably thought of his old rival Carl Lewis.
Carl Lewis was not only the king of the 100-meter race, but also the best long jumper after Mike Powell at the time. The thrilling confrontation between Powell and Lewis is still often mentioned today.
Lewis's jumping ability is not as good as Powell's, but his run-up speed is worse than Powell's, which determines that his long jump technical characteristics are also different from Powell's. Lewis's long jump relies more on his extreme run-up to provide thrust, while Powell relies on his super jumping ability and excellent technique.
"Lewis was like this back then. Although his take-off height was not as high as mine, he could still jump a long distance with his extremely fast run-up. Zhang Guan is also like this today, right! What? His take-off height is so high!"
While Powell was still recalling Carl Lewis, he saw Zhang Guan already stepping onto the springboard, jumping high into the air. Zhang Guan's jumping height was far from what Powell imagined.
"Unlike Lewis, this bounce is not inferior to that of me back then! Zhang Guan actually has such a great bounce! Lewis's running speed and my jumping ability are all in one person! Oh, my God, it's unbelievable , This is crazy..." Powell was suddenly startled by his own thoughts. When he was young, he once dreamed that he could have the speed of Carl Lewis. He even confidently believed that if he had the speed of Lewis, With his powerful jumping ability, he will definitely have a chance to jump over nine meters!
But for more than ten years, Powell felt that it was impossible for that kind of player to emerge. Especially after contacting more and more young long jumpers, Powell became even more convinced that it was impossible for anyone in the world to have the same speed as Lewis and also have the same speed. own bounce.
But today, Powell knew that such a person had appeared!
…
"Zhang Guan's run-up speed is indeed very fast." Saladino's expression was very calm at first.
Saladino had already expected that Zhang Guan would run faster than other runners. Although he had never seen Zhang Guan's long jump competition, Zhang Guan's identity as the 100-meter world record holder was already destined. He is the fastest long jumper in the world.
"Athletes with strong sprinting ability should be like Carl Lewis. They use high-speed run-up to gain greater thrust. Now Zhang Guan's run-up should be his most advantage. I don't know about his jump. How far can it jump? Can it exceed eight meters? It should be impossible. It is not easy for ordinary long jumpers to jump eight meters for the first time without adjusting their condition through previous trial jumps!" Saladi Nuo thought silently.
But the next moment, Saladino was suddenly shocked.
"The flying height is great! It's perfect!" Saladino looked at Zhang Guan in the air, his expression changed from surprise to solemn. With the speed of his run-up just now and the current flying height, Saladino was able to confirm , Zhang Guan's jump will definitely exceed eight meters.
"As expected of Zhang Guan! He is so strong in the long jump. It seems that there is another strong opponent in the long jump event. It seems a little difficult for me to win the gold medal in the long jump!"
While Saladino was thinking this, Zhang Guan also completed his landing action. I saw Zhang Guan sliding out a long trace in the sand pit, and then took advantage of the situation to stand up.
Saladino immediately looked at the control mark on the outside of the sand pool, and his original solemn expression turned into surprise again.
"This doesn't seem to be a difficult problem anymore! In this case, I will have to try my best next time I try to jump!"
…
Saudi player Walidi looked at Zhang Guan who was taking a run-up with an unconvinced expression.
"Isn't it better to run faster! What's so great. If I had practiced sprinting back then, I might not be worse than you! Besides, this is long jump, not to compare who can run faster. Be careful and it will be a foul if you step on the line too fast! "
Ever since Zhang Guan broke the Asian long jump record held by Walidi, Walidi began to be unhappy with Zhang Guan. As time went by, this unhappiness gradually turned into a kind of hostility. This is not to say that Walidi is petty. Any athlete whose record is taken away by others will probably not feel very happy. It might be better if they were acquaintances with each other, but for people like Walidi and Zhang Guan who have never met before, it is easy for them to have antagonistic psychology subconsciously.
What's more, Zhang Guan is a sprinter. Validi felt that Zhang Guan did not run well but participated in the long jump competition and broke the Asian record. This made Validi subconsciously feel that Zhang Guan came here on purpose. It's your own trouble.
Zhang Guan jumped into the air, and the height he soared also surprised Validi.
"I can't do this height! Is Zhang Guan really better than me?" Validi doubted himself for the first time.
Zhang Guan's body began to fall, getting closer and closer to the ground. Although he had not yet landed, Validi was already convinced that this would be the best result in today's game so far. However, Validi did not go to appreciate the victory. Instead, he turned his attention to the referee at the take-off board. At this time, the referee had already raised the white flag in his hand high.
"No foul!" Validi's eyes widened with jealousy.
Immediately afterwards, Validi looked at the sand pool, he wanted to finally confirm Zhang Guan's results.
"Zhang Guan jumped 8.5 meters again!" Walidi instantly shriveled up like a long-standing cabbage.
…
Zhang Guan walked out of the sandpit, shaking off the remaining sand on his shorts, but with a rather satisfied smile on his face.
He looked back and found that he had jumped 8.5 meters again, and visually estimated that this jump should be better than the time when he broke the Asian record.
After careful measurement, the surveyor loudly reported Zhang Guan's results.
"8.58 meters!"
The surveyor's voice was certainly not loud enough for the entire audience to hear, but the score had already reached the ears of the on-site commentator through the headset. The commentator immediately shouted: "Zhang Guan's jump score is 8.58 meters." !Currently ranked first!”
The audience immediately burst into exclamations of surprise.
The previous best result was Saladino's 8.33 meters, and Zhang Guan suddenly improved his score to 8.58 meters. The 0.25 meter gap was enough to shock the audience in the long jump event.
"Oh my god, it's so unexpected! Although this is the third trial jump in this competition, it is the first trial jump for Zhang Guan! If you can't seize this opportunity, you will definitely be eliminated. ! But Zhang Guan showed us his big heart. Not only did he seize the opportunity for the last trial jump, but his performance was perfect! 8.58 meters, which is the best result in the men's long jump event this year! I was there before It's a pity that Zhang Guan gave up the first two trial jumps. Now it seems that he doesn't need the first two trial jumps at all! Maybe there is no need for Zhang Guan to participate in the next three trial jumps. This result is enough for Zhang Guan Guan wins the long jump competition!”
The commentator who was praising Saladino a minute ago fully demonstrated the professionalism of the "foolish" commentator. He seemed to have forgotten that Saladino had just been praised to the sky by him. At this time, he The praise for Zhang Guan is like a torrential river, out of control.
…
"The system is equipped with professional long jump shoes, which has indeed greatly improved my performance. I jumped conservatively just now. I thought it would be good to be able to jump to 8.3 meters, but I didn't expect that it was almost close to 8.6 meters. I heard just now Commentator, this seems to be the best result in the long jump event this year." Zhang Guan looked at the score card again, and his score was already ranked first.
"With a score of 8.58 meters, I don't know if I can win the championship! There are three jumps left. If Saladino performs well, he can surpass this score. Fortunately, I am now ranked first, and there will be eight people left in a while. I will be the last one to go out and try out the jump, which is an advantage for me.”
Zhang Guan walked towards the athletes' preparation area. The reporters' waiting area in the distance instantly turned into a sea of glitter. If there were no staff blocking him, the reporters would have rushed over.
At the same time, the last two players also completed the third trial jump one after another. Among them, the local Greek player Tessa Thomas lived up to expectations and reached the top eight, while the other player was eliminated.
Next, the top eight athletes will appear in reverse order of their best results to try out the jumps. In order to confirm the order of appearance, the competition also went into a short pause.
However, at this time, most of the top eight athletes have given up on competing for the championship. The score of 8.58 meters is simply unattainable for most athletes. Among active athletes, only a handful can surpass this score. number.
Of course, Saladino will not give up his pursuit of the championship, even if Zhang Guan has already achieved the best long jump result this year.
Before Zhang Guan jumped 8.58 meters, the best long jump result this year was 8.56 meters held by Saladino. So if anyone among the athletes can challenge Zhang Guan, Saladino is definitely the most promising. The one who succeeds.
