"Oh my god, Ben Mazuk actually jumped 8.42 meters! In this way, Ben Mazuk became the fourth athlete in Asia to jump 8.4 meters. If we look at his personal best, Ben Mazuk ranks only behind Zhang Guan and Walidi, it can be said that he has become the third Asian in the long jump event!"
Ben Marzuk exited the game with excitement on his face. Coach Meyer Powell from a distance immediately shouted to Marzuk: "Ben! Well done! I knew you could do it!"
The score of 8.42 meters is considered a top score for Asian athletes. According to usual experience, this score is enough to win the Asian Games championship.
Zhang Guan looked at the score of 8.42 meters and suddenly realized that he would be ranked second to last among the next three jumps.
"It doesn't matter the order of appearance. Anyway, it's still very early before my next game, so there won't be any competition conflicts. It's just that this Mazuk actually jumped 8.42 meters. I didn't expect that apart from Walidi, Asia also has Some people can jump over the 8.4-meter mark. Ben Mazuk is also a naturalized athlete from Africa. In recent years, countries in the Middle East have spent a lot of money to win gold medals, especially Saudi Arabia, in sprint, long jump, high jump, and middle and long-distance running. The almost exclusively African planning corps is a bad trend."
"Sports industry should be developed over a long period of time to be effective. If we only naturalize players from other countries and do not develop our own sports, even though the naturalized athletes will win gold medals, it will not be the same as buying them with money. What difference does a gold medal make? But since I am here, even if you rich countries spend money to buy Saladino and Phillips, you will not be able to win the long jump gold medal in this Asian Games!"
The eight athletes were re-ordered and will then conduct the next three trial jumps according to the new order. However, judging from the current situation, perhaps only three athletes who have jumped the eight-meter mark will have a chance to compete for the gold medal.
Several of the remaining athletes have jumped the eight-meter mark. Even if there is no hope of competing for the gold medal, these athletes still hope to win the medal, so in the fourth jump, the athletes unanimously chose the more extreme jump. Jumping method, which also greatly increases the chance of fouling.
Three of the top five contestants failed their jump attempts due to fouls, and only two successfully completed their fourth trial jump. Although both of these two achieved good results, neither of them reached eight meters.
The sixth player to appear is Saudi Arabian star Al Shaba. He has already exceeded the eight-meter mark in his second trial jump. However, with Al Shaba’s strength, he only needs to perform better to go further.
Alshaba adjusted his condition and started to take off. Perhaps it was influenced by Ben Mazuk's jump of 8.4 meters. Alshaba also chose the extreme jump method for this jump. His toes almost stepped on the marking line, but In the end, his jump was successful, and his score of 8.18 meters was close to Zhang Guan's 8.20 meters.
Alshaba, who walked off the field, shook his head slightly disappointedly, as if he was dissatisfied with the result. In fact, this result is already very good for Alashaba. Al Shaba's personal best is 8.35 meters. He was able to jump close to 8.20 meters in the competition, which shows that he performed very well. After all, Ben-Mazuk's situation of beating his personal best in the game is rare.
The next player ranked seventh was Zhang Guan.
"It's finally time for Zhang Guan to appear again. I think this time Zhang Guan will definitely not give up the trial jump again. Saudi Arabian athlete Ben Mazuk just jumped with a good result of 8.42 meters. If Zhang Guan wants to win the gold medal, We must challenge this result!”
The TV broadcast screen also focused on Ben Mazuk at the right time. At this time, Mazuk looked a little nervous, obviously worried that Zhang Guan would get a better result.
I saw Zhang Guan starting to take a run, and then with the crisp sound of pedals, Zhang Guan had already taken off into the air.
"This height in the air is much better than his previous jump!" Ben Mazuk suddenly felt guilty.
However, Zhang Guan, who was in the air, realized that his previous jump had crossed the line!
"Oops, I was a little too hasty just now, and the rhythm was a little messy. Forget it, let's talk about it next time!"
I saw Zhang Guan retracting his strength in the air, and then landed on the ground with a protective movement. At this time, the referee raised the red flag.
In the long jump, injuries are more likely to occur during the take-off and landing phases. When many athletes discover that they have committed a foul or made a mistake, they will choose some protective follow-up actions to avoid injury. This is true in sports such as gymnastics and diving. Also very common.
Due to the protective landing action, Zhang Guan's jump was just over six meters, but since he was sentenced to a foul, the result was useless.
"Zhang Guan fouled! Great!" Ben Mazuk suddenly became excited. The height of Zhang Guan's flight made Mazuk have a premonition that it would be a great result, and it might even exceed 8.4 meters. But now Zhang Guan's foul made Mazuk feel like he was surviving a disaster.
"I am still ranked first. Next, I will jump to a better result." Mazuk thought as he stood on the approach area.
Ben-Mazuk was the last player to make his fourth trial jump, and the referee did not urge him. The one-minute timer started only after Mazuk had almost adjusted.
Run-up, take-off, airborne and landing, Mazuk's jump was perfect in action, but the result was not as good as the third jump just now.
"8.33 meters? That's okay! It's already surpassed Zhang Guan's 8.20 meters. Calculating it this way, even if Zhang Guan can jump to 8.42 meters next time, the best result will be the same as mine, but the second best result will be But it is lower than me, and the championship is still mine!" Thinking of this, Mazuk was overjoyed, and he surpassed Zhang Guan in two consecutive results, which is definitely a very big advantage.
In events such as long jump, mental state is very important. It can be said that the psychological state has a geometric impact on the performance of the physical state. Especially when two athletes compete for the final championship, a slight psychological advantage can be used to perform better. The so-called superiority, the greater the advantage, mainly refers to the psychological aspect.
Next comes the fifth round of test jumps for the contestants.
The previous players did not bring any surprises, and Alshaba, the sixth player to appear, still did not achieve better results.
"It's Zhang Guan's turn next. He will make his fifth trial jump. I don't know that this time, he will be able to fly over 8.42 meters. Since Ben Mazuk's second best result is 8.33 meters, it also exceeds Zhang Guan's 8.20 meters, so if Zhang Guan wants to win the gold medal, he must jump to at least 8.43 meters." When the CCTV commentator said this, he turned to ask the guest next to him, Director Sun: "Director Sun, what do you think? Is it possible that Zhang Guan’s jump reached 8.43 meters or even better?”
"I think the possibility is still very high. Although Zhang Guan's last trial jump failed, we can see that Zhang Guan also used a relatively radical jumping method. I think if Zhang Guan does not foul this jump, More than 8.4 meters is very possible."
As soon as Director Sun finished speaking, Zhang Guan had already started running.
"Zhang Guan started his run-up! Not bad! Take off! Perfect! No foul!" Director Sun's tone rose one degree every time he said a word, but as soon as he uttered his last sentence "no foul", Zhang Guan had already fallen into the sand pool.
However, the next moment, Director Sun suddenly screamed: "We win! We win! We must win!"
…
Zhang Guan was flying in the air, but coach Mike Powell, who was watching the game from a distance, seemed to see himself in his youth.
"Awesome!" Coach Powell muttered to himself. Even though he was an opponent and even though this game was related to his job, Coach Powell still couldn't help but praise Zhang Guan.
But in Mazuk's eyes, time seemed to slow down. He saw Zhang Guan soaring into the air, gliding in the air, and then getting closer and closer to the 8.4-meter mark.
"Zhang Guan's body is starting to fall!" Mazuk clenched his fists tightly. He expected Zhang Guan's body to fall to the ground as soon as possible, preferably before 8.4 meters.
Unfortunately, Zhang Guan's body was still in the air, but it had clearly passed 8.4 meters.
"Zhang Guan has surpassed me! But I will definitely go back and surpass him again!" Mazuk thought to himself, and he was already preparing to challenge the distance of 8.5 meters in the next trial jump.
But then, Zhang Guan's body crossed the 8.5-meter mark again, but his feet were still not in contact with the ground.
"Passed 8.5 meters!" Mazuk's heart thumped. He had realized that he might have lost. 8.5 meters was a result that he had never reached in training. But at this time, Mazuk still had a little bit of luck in his heart. Maybe he could perform beyond his level in the competition, jump over 8.5 meters, and eventually overtake Zhang Guan.
But in the next 0.1 seconds, Zhang Guan's body seemed to have crossed the 8.6-meter mark again. Although his feet were already close to the ground, they still did not touch the ground.
"Over 8.6 meters!" The slightest bit of luck in Mazuk's heart was completely shattered at this moment.
…
Zhang Guan landed, and the mark seemed to be on the 8.7-meter mark.
"8.7 meters, has it reached 8.7 meters?"
In the long jump event, when it reaches the highest level in the world, every centimeter raised is extremely difficult. However, people still generally regard ten centimeters as a level and a high wall that is difficult to leap, such as 8.4 meters, 8.5 meters. Meters, 8.6 meters…
The surveyor immediately took the measurement and immediately announced Zhang Guan's jump result.
"8.70 meters!"
