On December 9, ten gold medals will be awarded in the track and field competition of the Doha Asian Games.
Zhang Guan only had one competition in the morning, which was the semi-finals of the men's 100-meter dash. In the 100-meter semi-finals, Zhang Guanyou saw many familiar faces that he had not seen for a long time, such as Nobuharu Asahara, Habeibei and others.
The sixteen contestants participating in the 100-meter semi-finals were divided into two groups, and the top four in each group entered the finals. There is no doubt that Zhang Guan will advance. For the national team, glasses man Hu Kai also entered the finals. Shingo, the last member of the Japanese team, retired due to injury before the game, so the Japanese team finally qualified Nobuharu Asahara and Naoki Tsukahara. Habeib and another player from Saudi Arabia also successfully entered the finals, and the last two places were It was divided between Qatari players and Thai players.
After the men's 100-meter semi-finals, there was the preliminaries of the women's 100-meter hurdles, followed by a lunch break of more than five hours. When the competition started again in the afternoon, the first thing to be held was the final of the men's long jump event.
When the long jump competition started, it happened to be eight o'clock in the evening, capital time. The highest ratings period was also the golden moment for the live broadcast of the competition. In addition, Zhang Guanhui appeared on the long jump court, so there was no doubt that this competition would be a success. It has become the first choice for TV stations to broadcast the game live.
Guest Director Sun once again visited the live broadcast room. At this time, he began to introduce incessantly. Most of the content was what he had said yesterday. For example, Zhang Guan won the World Cup Championship in Track and Field, and Zhang Guan twice set the world's best record this year. Results, etc. At the end of the day, Director Sun began to introduce today’s competition.
Director Sun said: "Zhang Guan's main competitor is Saudi Arabian player Alqur Walidi. Walidi has twice broken the Asian record in the long jump event and was also the previous Asian record holder of Zhang Guan. But it is a pity that Walidi performed abnormally in the qualifying round and committed fouls in all three attempts, and failed to enter today's final."
"Does that mean that today Zhang Guan will be able to win the long jump championship more smoothly?" the commentator immediately asked from the side.
"I think that's the case." Director Sun changed his voice and continued: "But Zhang Guan cannot take it lightly, because Saudi Arabia still has two very capable players entering the finals, they are Al Shaba and Ben- Mazuk. What appears on the screen now is Al Shaba!"
The TV screen just gave a close-up of Al Shaba, and Director Sun went on to introduce: "Al Shaba is a veteran with rich competition experience. He has participated in various long jump competitions since the late 1990s, and has achieved He has achieved very good results. As a player born in Saudi Arabia, he has always been the mainstay of the long jump event in West Asia."
"The person next to Al Shaba is Ben Mazuk. He is a naturalized African player. His current best result is 8.39 meters. This is a very good result. This result is the highest in ordinary international competitions. Of course, there is still a big gap between those who can win the gold medal and Zhang Guanlai." Director Sun said confidently.
At this time, Ben-Mazuk was obviously aware that the camera was pointing at him. He waved symbolically at the camera, and then continued to talk to Al Shaba beside him.
"I've been waiting for a whole day, and finally I'm waiting for this final." Mazuk continued with an excited look: "As long as I defeat Zhang Guan in the final, I will become famous all over the world!"
"I'm afraid it's not that easy!" Alshaba seemed much more pessimistic, and he continued: "Zhang Guan's best result is already over 8.6 meters, which shows that he and Saladino are players of the same level. We are the best in the world, but we are probably still far behind that level."
"Didn't Saladino also lose a game in the Golden League? So I believe that Zhang Guan can't be in such good shape in every game and jump to 8.6 meters. Besides, the coach thinks I have great potential. He I think I can defeat Zhang Guan." Mazuk then added: "Don't you trust the coach's judgment? Our coach is the world record holder in the long jump!"
"Coach..." Alshaba quietly looked back at Coach Mike Powell, and then sighed softly. As a veteran, he was not as easily fooled by Coach Powell as the young Ben Marzuk.
Not far behind, Mike Powell, the coach of the Saudi Arabian team, looked worried.
At that time, Saudi Arabia hired Powell to coach with a high salary and gave him a 3+2 contract, which means that the first three years of coaching are guaranteed. After three years, if Powell leads the Saudi Arabian team to achieve good results, the contract will be renewed. About two years, and now it happens to be the last year of the first three years.
Validi broke the Asian record twice, which made Powell think that there must be no problem in renewing the contract. However, he did not expect that just one month after Validi broke the Asian record for the second time, Zhang Guan appeared in the long jump. On the field, not only set a new Asian record, but also set a new best result of the year.
Powell suddenly felt a lot of pressure. Saudi Arabia hired Powell with a high salary just for good results. If the Saudi team could not even win the Asian championship, Powell's job as coach of Saudi Arabia would probably be over. Although Powell dislikes the weather in Saudi Arabia, he likes the U.S. dollars in Saudi Arabia very much. Therefore, this long jump final of the Asian Games is a battle to protect his job.
…
Under much anticipation, the long jump finals began.
The twelve players participating in the finals will draw lots to determine the order of appearance. After the first three jumps, the four players with the worst results will be eliminated, and then the remaining eight players will appear in reverse order according to the best results.
In this format, the first three jumps become very important. For weaker players, of course they hope to be in the top eight, but for stronger players, a good result in the first three jumps can ensure that they will appear later in the next three jumps. In the long jump, athletes who appear late are relatively more proactive.
The first player to appear was a Filipino player named Dagmir. After this Filipino player came on the stage, he very ignorantly asked for applause from the audience. However, he fiddled around for a long time, but the audience did not buy it. The loud and rhythmic applause he expected did not sound, but instead attracted a lot of ridiculing whistles. Voice.
A Filipino who is neither a well-known big-name athlete nor a Qatari host player will naturally receive little applause.
Seeing that he didn't get any applause, Dagmir had no choice but to start his run-up in embarrassment. He also failed to achieve a good result and barely ended his first trial jump with a jump of 7.15 meters.
Then, Al-Haddad, a young man from Kuwait who performed very well in the qualifying rounds, appeared. He continued his good form yesterday and jumped 7.73 meters in the first jump, which was also his personal best.
The third person to appear was Japanese veteran Shinichi Terano. He is also the Japanese long jump record holder, but he stepped on the line and fouled in his first trial jump.
Shinichi Terano's foul seemed to be contagious. The next three players all failed their jump attempts. It was not until Alshaba, who came on next, jumped 7.65 meters that the athletes' fouling was stopped.
Next came Abdullah Al-Nubi, a local player from Qatar. Nubi once participated in the Athens Olympics and is a well-known long jumper in West Asian countries. Now he is also a player from the host country, which naturally attracts attention. There came a cheer from the audience. Nubi did not disappoint the Qatari audience, with a score of 7.62 meters temporarily ranked third.
Next is Zhang Guan’s appearance.
Zhang Guan was seen taking a rhythmic run-up, quickly increasing his speed to the limit. When pedaling, he chose a more conservative method, and then jumped out, making elegant movements in the air, and easily crossed The eight-meter line.
"8.20 meters, this is the first result of over eight meters today! I think this result is enough to win a medal. As for the gold medal, it depends on whether other athletes can perform better." The commentator immediately said.
Director Sun, the guest on the side, continued: "I jumped 8.20 meters in the first jump. I'm afraid Zhang Guan will give up again in the next few jumps!"
The competition is still going on. Ben-Mazuk was very lucky during the draw and was selected as the last one to play. However, he had very bad luck in his first trial jump. His toes just touched the marking line and the trial jump failed.
In the second trial jump immediately, Alshaba jumped 8.02 meters in one fell swoop. This result can be regarded as touching the edge of the medal. After adjusting his condition, Ben Mazuk achieved a good result of 7.88 meters. As Director Sun said, Zhang Guan simply gave up the second try.
In the third round of trial jumps, Al Shaba fouled, but Zhang Guan still gave up the trial jumps. Al-Hadad, a native of Kewell, once again performed well and once again set a new best score of 7.80 meters. Japanese player Shinichi Terano achieved a score of 7.59 meters, while Indian player Yadav, who had no results in the first two jumps, temporarily ranked eighth with a score of 7.58 meters.
However, after Yadav's test jump, the current results of the following competitors are higher than Yadav's, so the top eight have basically been determined. The only thing that remains suspense is the order of the last three jumps.
In the third trial jump, Ben Mazuk was still the last one to appear.
"I'm already in the top eight. Counting this time, I still have four more trial jumps! I have four chances to win the Asian Games championship!"
Ben-Mazuk has decided that he will use the most extreme jumping method to attack the Asian Games championship.
Mazuk took a quick start and came to the take-off board. His nail shoes made a crisp sound when he stepped on the take-off board. The referee was slightly stunned, as if he was recalling whether Mazuk had committed a foul by stepping on the line, and was hesitating whether to raise the white flag or the red flag.
Mazuk didn't think too much in the air. He made a walking motion in the air, and then rushed into the sand pool violently.
"Over 8.4 meters!" Mazuk felt a burst of ecstasy when he landed. Then he walked out of the sand pool and looked at the referee. At this time, the referee had raised a white flag to indicate that there was no foul in this jump.
"Okay! No foul!" Mazuk clenched his fists and roared excitedly. At the same time, he thought silently in his heart:
"Zhang Guan, I jumped 8.4 meters. Now I'm overtaking you!"
