In the men's 100-meter sprint preliminaries in the evening, Zhang Guan entered the arena amidst the cheers of the audience, and almost all the cameras were focused on him.
After the gunshot, Zhang Guan rushed out, reaching the first place without any suspense, and then crossed the finish line with an ever-increasing lead.
The result was 9.97 seconds, a time of less than ten seconds, which seemed to tell the national audience that he was still in good competitive condition.
On the rostrum, Director Ma let out a long breath, and his fists that were originally clenched due to nervousness gradually loosened.
Next to him, Director Yu said: "Judging from Zhang Guan's performance today, his recovery is still very good. He has already obtained the Olympic A standard in the three events of 100 meters, 400 meters and long jump. It is estimated that there will be no problem if the 200-meter sprint event reaches the Olympic A standard.”
Director Ma nodded slightly, and then said: "But in the middle distance, Zhang Guan doesn't seem to be doing very well!"
"Zhang Guan has not done much special training in middle-distance running, and his performance in middle-distance running events is far less impressive than sprinting, so it is normal for him not to run well. I think the 1,500 meters is not up to standard. It's a good thing, so that he can focus more on the sprint event. When the Olympics come, he might be able to win three gold medals in sprinting." Director Yu said immediately.
Director Ma smiled. He knew that Director Yu was a sprint coach, so he naturally preferred sprinting in his heart. It was normal for Director Yu not to support Zhang Guan's participation in middle-distance running.
"Let's observe it first!" Director Ma thought for a while and said.
"Observe?" Director Yu said with some dissatisfaction in his tone.
At this time, Director Yu is in the state of retirement and re-employment, so he does not have the same consideration as on-the-job. Whether it is speaking or daily behavior, he is much more straightforward.
Director Ma then explained: "Old Yu, the people above still have expectations for Zhang Guan to participate in the middle distance running event. Although it is difficult to win an Olympic gold medal in middle distance running, there is still some hope for an Olympic medal. After all, this Olympics is being held on our own territory, so even if it’s a medal, we have to work hard to win it.”
Director Yu sighed helplessly. He knew that this kind of thing was not something he could do. An Olympic medal is honor and financial income for athletes and coaches, but for officials, it is a further bonus in their career.
Director Ma changed his tone and continued: "Zhang Guan has a heavy task tomorrow. He will participate in the triple jump qualifying competition in the morning, and in the afternoon there will be the 100m semi-finals and finals, the 1500m finals, and the 400m finals. and the long jump final. This was a big test for his physical strength. Moreover, the triple jump qualifying competition was Zhang Guan’s first time to participate in the triple jump competition. It is not known what his triple jump strength is. .”
"I heard Coach Li say that Zhang Guan has done quite well in the triple jump, and there should be no problem reaching the Olympic A standard." Director Yu said casually.
"The Olympic A standard is not enough." Director Ma continued: "Our country's triple jump level is the top in Asia and not weak in the world. There are several people who have reached the Olympic A standard. Zhang Guanyu If you want to participate in the Olympic triple jump event, you must exceed the Olympic A standard by a lot, and maybe you can hope to be selected!"
…
On May 23, the Track and Field Open entered its second competition day. At 10:45 in the morning, the qualifying round for the triple jump event officially began.
The national team is full of talents in the triple jump event, and has always been ranked first in Asia overall. There is more than one person who can reach the Olympic A standard. At present, there are four active athletes who have reached the Olympic A standard. They are the "first brother" in the domestic triple jump and the current number one triple jumper in Asia. Li Yanxi once won the National Triple Jump Challenge last year. Zhong Minwei, who won the championship at 17.27 meters, Gu Junjie, the Asian triple jump youth record holder, and Wu Bo, a young player who has just emerged recently. Among them, Gu Junjie reached the standard mark of 17.11 meters, while Wu Bo just reached the triple jump mark of 17.10 meters.
In addition to the above four athletes, among the current domestic athletes, there are four or five athletes who are also capable of hitting the Olympic A standard. Compared with other track and field events, the competition in the triple jump event is very fierce.
Therefore, for Zhang Guan, if he wants to participate in the Olympic triple jump competition, it is not enough to just jump out of an Olympic A standard. He must also jump out with a convincing result to ensure that he can successfully participate in the Olympic triple jump. Contest.
"Dear viewers, next is the preliminaries for the men's triple jump event. I believe you have seen Zhang Guan on the field. Yes, this is his first time participating in the triple jump competition." The commentator continued. : "According to the information received before the competition, Zhang Guan only started training for the triple jump this year. However, Zhang Guan once won the world championship in the long jump event and is the Asian record holder in the long jump event. This is enough. Proves Zhang Guan’s talent in long jump!”
In the athletes' preparation area, the athletes participating in the triple jump looked at Zhang Guan with vigilance, especially those who were hopeful of reaching the Olympic A standard, and they looked a little worried.
Competition in the domestic triple jump event is already fierce. There are still three months until the opening of the Olympic Games. Four athletes have already reached the Olympic A standard. However, there are only three Olympic quotas, so one person is destined to be eliminated. After being eliminated, Zhang Guan, the Asian record holder in the long jump, is now involved, which means a strong enemy suddenly appears. Although Zhang Guan has not participated in triple jump, there are great similarities between long jump and triple jump. Zhang Guan's results in the long jump event are enough to bring a strong deterrent to this group of triple jump athletes.
Zhang Guan was scheduled to appear in the middle stage today, and the athletes in the first few jumps performed pretty well, with scores of around 16 meters. According to the domestic triple jump level, it is very good to be able to occasionally jump over the 16-meter mark. Hope to get ranked.
Finally, it was Zhang Guan's turn to appear, and it was another moment that attracted much attention.
"Zhang Guan has started to run! The speed is still very fast!"
Zhang Guan's approach speed surprised many contestants. The faster the approach speed, the greater the kinetic energy when taking off. As long as you don't foul when taking off, and the kinetic energy loss after that is not too outrageous, the distance of this jump will definitely be longer. Far.
Zhang Guan's movements were flawless in hopping, striding, and hopping, and then he fell into the sand pit smoothly.
"It's over 17 meters!" A player with good eyes said.
Everyone immediately looked around and saw that the edge of the jump mark had indeed exceeded the 17-meter mark.
