Saladino began his fifth trial jump.
Saladino raised his arms high and waved to the audience, and the audience gave him rhythmic applause and cheered him up.
In the jumping events of track and field, many big-name athletes will ask for applause from the audience before they try to jump. This kind of applause is not chaotic, but unified and rhythmic. This applause is like the drumbeat of soldiers before going out to fight, neat and uniform The applause is accompanied by an increasingly faster rhythm, which can easily make the athletes' blood boil and can greatly boost the morale of the athletes.
So in track and field competitions, if you hear this kind of unanimous applause, it must be that a big-name jumper is about to try out his jump. Of course, sometimes it would be quite embarrassing for an athlete who is not very popular to work hard for a long time but not receive applause from the audience.
After a moment, Saladino put down his hands and made a running gesture. The applause of the audience gradually calmed down. Not only that, the scene also gradually became quiet, and even the flash lights were much less. Everyone was waiting for Saladino to start his trial jump.
At the same time, Saladino began to recall the jump in his mind. Although Saladino jumped 8.54 meters in his last trial jump, when Saladino thought back carefully, he could still find some shortcomings and areas for improvement. Therefore, in the following jump, he must pay more attention and complete this trial jump more perfectly.
Saladino started to take off. His start this time was very sudden, but it did not affect the acceleration rhythm and the speed of the run-up at all. He rushed towards the sand pit, and the moment he stepped onto the springboard, those who were close could even hear the sound of his pedals.
"Uh oh..." Saladino flew into the air, and at the same time he involuntarily let out a roar in his throat.
"Woo..." At the moment Saladino soared into the air, the audience let out a burst of exclamations. Saladino's soaring was extraordinary this time, really looking like a falcon soaring after spotting its prey.
Saladino's take-off this time was perfect in both rhythm and flight. Even laymen who don't know how to long jump will be attracted by Saladino's elegant jump.
Later, Saladino fell into the sand pool. When he took advantage of the situation to get up, he clenched his fists excitedly because when he landed, he secretly glanced at the markings next to the sand pool. The distance of his jump It should be above 8.60 meters!
"Is it more than 8.60 meters? This is almost 8.63 meters! As expected of Saladino, when he gets serious and gives full play to his level, it is really scary!" Dwight Phillips looked at the people in the sand pool. Traces, a silent sigh in my heart.
At this time, there was a sigh around, and a red flag was raised high above the head by the referee.
"Foul! Saladino stepped on the line and fouled!"
Saladino looked confused. He didn't think he had committed a foul in his jump attempt just now. He really wanted to argue with the referee, but if he refused, he decided to watch the replay on the big screen in the arena.
The big screen showed a close-up of the take-off board. Saladino stepped on it fiercely, as if he had stepped on the line, but also seemed not to have stepped on the line. It was difficult to tell for a while.
Next, the camera zoomed in and the playback speed doubled. When the screen was played back to Saladino stepping on the springboard, the screen suddenly paused. Only then did everyone see clearly that Saladino's toes were indeed guessing. Got to the line.
"The referee's decision was very accurate! Saladino did step on the line! It's such a pity. From the replay, it can be seen that he only stepped a little bit. If his feet were a little bit backward, it would have been It must be a perfect jump!" The commentator on the scene also began to feel sorry for Saladino.
Zhang Guan, who was about to appear, let out a sigh of relief. Saladino's trial jump just now also shocked Zhang Guan. Fortunately, Saladino's trial jump failed this time.
"Saladino was really strong at his peak. No wonder he won the next Olympics in just four attempts. Compared with him, the previous Asian record holder Validi was really far behind. One level. Five wins in the Golden League is really well-deserved!"
Zhang Guan looked at the bunker and saw that the sand pool had been filled. The referee also indicated that he could play, so Zhang Guan walked to the running area.
This time, Zhang Guan still walked directly to the referee. As the referee announced, Zhang Guan gave up his fifth trial jump.
"Zhang Guan once again gave up his trial jump! It seems that his physical strength has not yet recovered, or he feels that the result of 5.58 meters is still enough to win the championship! It seems that Saladino's trial jump was fouled just now Zhang Guan did not bring much pressure. I think if Saladino did not foul in the last trial jump, I think Zhang Guan would not give up this trial jump. But even so, Zhang Guan The result of the championship is still ranked first. Next, the final round of trial jumps is about to begin. Can any other athletes perform exceptionally? Can Saladino seize the last opportunity to let We’ll see!”
…
On the track, the women's 800-meter final has ended, and now is the men's 5,000-meter final, in which the Asian team's 3,000-meter obstacle king Shaheen will participate in this event.
The audience's attention was briefly focused on the men's 5,000-meter race. However, in this event, which requires running more than ten laps in a row, the athletes spend most of their time running, which does not seem so tense and exciting. Therefore, the audience The attention quickly turned to the long jump competition. The athletes had already started their last trial jump of the day, which would determine the championship, second and third place in the long jump competition as well as the final ranking of the athletes.
Saladino looked at Zhang Guan silently. Zhang Guan gave up the trial jump again, which surprised Saladino. Because of the fifth trial jump just now, the athletes generally spent too much time, and Saladino spent a lot of time mobilizing the emotions of the audience. Therefore, when Zhang Guan entered the arena, it was far from the last time. Nearly ten minutes have passed since the trial jump. According to the physical recovery conditions of normal athletes, ten minutes is enough time to recover enough physical strength for a trial jump.
"Does Zhang Guan really think that he can win the championship with a score of 8.58 meters? He really underestimates me! In the long jump competition, every trial jump is extremely precious. After a while, you will already be excited about this time. I regret giving up the trial jump!" Saladino clenched his fists fiercely, feeling high in spirit.
One after another, athletes completed their last trial jumps, either succeeding or failing, satisfied with the results, or dissatisfied with the results. However, no athlete was able to jump beyond 8.4 meters. Zhang Guan and Sa Ladino's position remains unshakable.
In fact, when it comes to the last trial jump, especially when you feel that there is no hope of winning the championship, you will definitely use some more extreme jumping methods, which also greatly increases the chance of making mistakes, so under normal circumstances, the sixth place in the competition The first trial jump is the trial jump with the lowest success rate.
When the sixth player ended his game with a foul and walked out of the sandbox with a look of regret, Saladino stepped onto the court again.
"Saladino is about to start his last trial jump. For him, this time must be a desperate jump. If he cannot reach 8.58 meters, then the competition will end early. This is not only in Testing Saladino's technical level and on-the-spot performance is also testing his psychological quality. At this moment, it depends on Saladino's comprehensive strength! Can Saladino stage a great comeback? Let us Let's wait and see!" The commentator shouted excitedly, and the rhythmic applause sounded again in the scene.
"This is my last trial jump!" Saladino was unprecedentedly calm at this moment. His strong psychological quality prevented him from panicking at all. Instead, he kept reminding himself of the things he needed to continue to pay attention to in his mind. .
"The championship belongs to me! I must win!" Saladino kept encouraging himself deep in his heart, and then he started his last trial jump.
"Oh! Saladino starts running! The speed is very good! Take off! OK, no foul!"
In this trial jump, Saladino was not as extreme as the previous jump, so even though Saladino's take-off speed was very fast, the commentator could clearly see through the screen in front of him that Saladino was not foul.
But if you look carefully at Saladino's jump this time, it's actually not worse than the previous jump. If Saladino didn't make any mistakes when he landed, the result of this jump might be the same as the jump he made after committing a foul. The results are about the same.
Saladino landed, and countless fine sand spread around. When Saladino stood up, he was extremely nervous. He didn't know what the result of this jump was, but he could feel that this time he was already very good. Close to 8.6 meters.
"It must be more than 8.58 meters!" Saladino looked back at the sand pool, but his brows furrowed.
"It's almost 8.6 meters! But how much is it? 8.59 meters? Or 8.58 meters?" Saladino looked at the surveyor, waiting for him to announce the final score.
This was a measurement related to a gold medal. Of course the surveyor did not dare to be sloppy in the slightest. He repeatedly confirmed the numbers and then reported Saladino’s final score:
"8.58 meters!"
The whole place was in an uproar, accompanied by endless exclamations.
"It turned out to be 8.58 meters! It turned out to be 8.58 meters! The same result as Zhang Guan!" Saladino felt a little disappointed. He thought he could surpass Zhang Guan with this jump, but then he became proud again.
The corners of Saladino's mouth turned up, unable to conceal the joy in his heart: "Although it is the same result, according to the rules, I am now ranked first. Zhang Guan, you will definitely regret giving up that time just now." Try jumping! Now, you will be killed by me!"
