The position where Zhang Guan's feet landed has clearly exceeded the 8.55-meter mark. Even without the virtual red line drawn by the broadcaster, the audience can tell from the position of the ruler, but with that red line, It looks more vivid and intuitive.
"Zhang Guan jumped over!" Saladino suddenly felt like he had eaten a big plate of bitter melon mixed with old vinegar. The sourness and bitterness were mixed together. Originally, he thought he had defeated Zhang Guan, but he completed the absolute victory over Zhang Guan in the last jump. However, Zhang Guan never expected that Zhang Guan would also complete the kill in the last jump.
The next moment, Saladino's eyes were fixed on the place where Zhang Guan landed. The originally flat bunker left obvious traces due to the athlete's landing. At the end of the trace, it had already crossed 8.6 meters. The position of the reticle.
"Breaking the 8.6-meter mark!" Although Saladino is still unable to know Zhang Guan's final accurate score, he clearly knows that Zhang Guan's final score will definitely exceed 8.6 meters.
The effective results in official competitions, which can exceed 8.6 meters, must be traced back to the 8.65 meters jumped by Cuban long jump star Ivan Pedroso six years ago. Pedroso was the winner of three consecutive world championships in the long jump. He was the strongest long jumper in the world after Mike Powell retired, and he once jumped over 8.7 meters. Pedroso also had many fights with American player Phillips later in his career, and was even seen as a weakened version of Powell's fight with Lewis.
In addition, the best result in the past six years is Dwight Phillips's 8.60 meters. Both Phillips before the injury and Saladino at his peak are actually capable of jumping 8.7 meters. This is already recognized by the long jump community. What they lack is better performance in the game and some luck. That’s all. In fact, both of them jumped the 8.70-meter mark in the next three years. It's just that in today's game, the two did not perform at their best.
So at this moment, Saladino looked at Zhang Guan's score of over 8.6 meters. In addition to being a little disappointed, he was also unwilling to accept it.
"Did I jump 8.6 meters? I can do it too! If I am in better shape and have better luck, I can jump further!" Saladino clenched his fists fiercely and continued I thought: "It's just that you have better luck today. Next time we fight, I will definitely not lose to you!"
Not far away, Phillips' face looked slightly solemn. Due to injuries, he almost gave up this year's competition. Whether it was in the National level competition, this year's Athletics Golden Face, or today's Track and Field World Cup, Phillips always focused on recovering his body and adjusting his competition. He is confident that he will be able to return to the top in the near future. And Phillips also knows that the biggest obstacle on his way back to the top is Saladino.
Now Phillips has confirmed that the obstacle in front of him is not only Saladino, but also a younger and more physically talented Zhang Guan. Judging from Zhang Guan's current performance, he may be more difficult to deal with than Saladino.

"We won! We won! We won! We won! Wuwuwuwuwu..." Coach Li roared crazily, tears bursting from his eyes. He was crying with joy, and then he saw Coach Li hugging him fiercely. Director Yu, who was closest to him, wanted to kiss his bald head a few times.
Coach Li is just an ordinary coach of the national team, still relatively young, while Director Yu is the deputy head coach of the national track and field team. The superior-subordinate relationship between the two is quite different. Normally, Coach Li would not dare to give guidance like this, but today he was so excited that his thinking ability could be said to be completely lost, and the rest was just instinct.
Indeed, for a coach like Coach Li who rarely even has the opportunity to go abroad, it is normal for him to have such an exaggerated performance when he sees his disciples win the world championship.
Director Yu did not blame Coach Li, even though Coach Li was wiping tears and snot on his clothes. Director Yu can feel Coach Li's mood, just like the moment when Zhang Guan won the men's 100-meter championship in the Athens Olympics. Director Yu, who is nearly 60 years old, behaved almost like Coach Li today, maybe with a runny nose. More to come.
…
"It's over, over 8.6 meters! Unbelievable! When we were still discussing whether Zhang Guan could jump to 8.55 meters, he had already passed 8.6 meters. Zhang Guan had no intention of comparing the second best result with Saladino. , he was going to surpass himself! Although the final result has not been measured yet, it is certain that Zhang Guan has won the championship! We congratulate Zhang Guan! At the same time, we also congratulate Saladino for winning the runner-up, and thank him A great game for us!”
The commentator on the TV went on to say: "This can be said to be the most exciting long jump competition I have ever seen! Go-ahead, victory, and victory! The game is still in suspense until the last jump, and the outcome is final. It will be revealed in just a moment! If you are a track and field fan, then I strongly recommend you to watch this game! This is a wonderful game that must not be missed!"
"Oh, the result is out, 8.63 meters! It's a pity that it can't surpass the 8.65 meters jumped by Cuban long jump star Ivan Pedroso in 2000, but this is still the best result in the world long jump in the past six years! And! Don’t forget, Zhang Guan is a sprinter. This is the first time he has appeared in the long jump in an international competition. His first time participating in an international competition, he only used two jumps to set the long jump record twice this year. best result!"
"Zhang Guan is indeed the most talented athlete in the world. Even in the long jump field that he has never touched, he can achieve world championship level achievements. I think those who questioned Zhang Guan's long jump ability before the game are now You can shut up, Zhang Guan has proved his strength with a gold medal."
"Today, Zhang Guan participated in three events, namely the men's 100-meter dash, the men's 400-meter dash and the men's long jump. Zhang Guan won the championship in all three events, and tomorrow, Zhang Guan will also participate In the final of the men's 200-meter dash, we also look forward to Zhang Guan winning his fourth championship in this competition! Winning four gold medals in one track and field World Cup, Zhang Guan will once again achieve unprecedented achievements!"
"It is a pity that the Asian United Team did not participate in the 4x100m and 4x400m competitions, otherwise Zhang Guan might still have hope to win the fifth and sixth gold medals."
While the commentator was talking nonstop, the men's 5,000-meter final also ended. Qatar's 3,000-meter obstacle course star Shaheen showed his strong dual-running ability in the men's 5,000-meter long-distance race and won the gold medal.
There are still many similarities between the 3000-meter obstacle race and the 5000-meter long-distance race. Although the distance between the two sports is 2000 meters, the 3000-meter obstacle course requires crossing obstacles, so the difference in physical exertion from the 5000-meter race is not very big. . Moreover, athletes who run the 3,000-meter obstacle course are better at adjusting their physical strength than those who run the 5,000-meter race. Therefore, it is not surprising that a world-record-level athlete like Shaheen also won the championship by running the 5,000-meter race. Moreover, in this track and field World Cup, Ethiopian long-distance running king Bekele did not participate, which also made Shaheen win the gold medal.
This is also the fifth gold medal for the Asian United men's event. In this Track and Field World Cup, a total of 10 gold medals will be awarded in the men's event on the first day of competition. The Asian team won half of them at once, and naturally stood at the top of the standings. This is a big upset for the Asian United team, which has always been in last place.
…
The first day's game ended before 9 pm. For the host Athens, 9 pm is obviously the beginning of the wonderful nightlife. In addition, the second day's game does not start until 4 pm, so The participating athletes also have sufficient rest time.
Since time permits, the organizers have specially set aside several venues after today's game for each participating team to hold press conferences.
The Asian United Team won five gold medals in a row on the first day of competition, and Zhang Guan won gold medals in three events, including a debut long jump event. Of course, it was the focus of media attention, so even if this is In the competition held in Europe, the press conference of the Asian United Team still gathered the largest number of reporters.
In addition to the spokesperson of the Asian United Team, Director Ma was arranged to sit in the most conspicuous position. Among the athletes who won the gold medal, only Koji Murofushi of the Japanese team attended the press conference. Neither Zhang Guan nor Shahien came. They will still compete tomorrow. Zhang Guan will participate in the 200-meter dash event, while Shaheen will participate in his hometown 3,000-meter obstacle course.
After the spokesperson introduced the relevant situation non-stop, the media questions began. The reporters were obviously impatient, and the target of their questions was of course Director Ma.
A blond reporter stood up and said: "First of all, I would like to congratulate Zhang Guan for winning three events on the first day of the competition. I am not surprised that Zhang Guan won the gold medal in the 100 meters and 400 meters. What I didn’t expect was that Zhang Guan was so strong in the long jump event. When did Zhang Guan get into long jump?”
"Thank you for your congratulations." Director Ma smiled slightly and said in proficient English: "Actually, Zhang Guan started practicing long jump after the World Indoor Track and Field Championships in the first half of this year. However, because Zhang Guan wanted to participate in the Athletics Federation Gold League, and we have to participate in two events at the same time, so the training time is very tight. Even on a normal training day, we can only guarantee three hours for long jump training!”
Director Ma said this and deliberately paused to let the reporters digest the consultation he had just disclosed, and there was a murmur of whispering among the reporters below.
"Three hours a day? You can win the world championship! It's incredible!" The blond reporter couldn't help but sigh.
"This is impossible! Three hours is enough for me to have dinner!" a Greek reporter whispered.
A German reporter next to him glared at the Greek reporter with disdain, saying that Greece is indeed the laziest country in Europe. Look at the Chinese, you can train a world champion in the time it takes you to eat dinner!
