The triple jump finals began, and Zhang Guan also stepped onto the court.
This is the most competitive event among the men's track and field events. Counting Zhang Guan, five athletes have already reached the Olympic A standard, and there are other athletes who are also competing for the Olympic A standard, and the chances are great.
Zhang Guan was drawn to appear fifth, which is neither good nor bad. Although the position is in the middle and front among the twelve contestants, considering that after three trial jumps, he will be re-ranked according to his results, so for Zhang Guan this For such strong players, as long as their rankings in the draw are in the middle, they are pretty much the same.
The first one to appear was a 17-year-old youngster named Cao Shuo. He reached the finals of the Track and Field Open and set his best personal record.
However, in the first jump of the final, Cao Shuo still maintained his fiery form and jumped 16.25 meters in one fell swoop. This is definitely a perfect top level for a 17-year-old youngster.
Then the third player to appear was also a young player, Dong Bin, who was nearly 20 years old. Dong Bin performed better than Cao Shuo. He jumped 16.28 meters.
Zhang Guan appeared on the stage amidst cheers. He jumped directly to a score of 17.12 meters. However, in the eyes of many professionals, Zhang Guan still had reservations about this jump.
"Zhang Guan seems to have reservations. The situation is not good." Gu Junjie frowned. Gu Junjie is the youth record holder in the domestic triple jump, and has reached the Olympic A standard with a score of 17.11 meters, and his personal best score is 17.23 meters. Originally, he was expected to participate in the Olympics, but Zhang Guan failed in the preliminary round He jumped 17.15 meters in the middle jump, which is likely to exclude him from the competition.
Next, Li Yanxi, the number one long jumper in the country, had some bad luck and failed in his first jump. After that, Zhong Minwei also had very bad luck in his first jump and only jumped 15.59 meters. Both of them reached the Olympic A standard last year with a time of over 17.2 meters. It can be said that they have basically locked in two Olympic quotas.
Next up was Wu Bo, who had just reached the A mark with a time of 17.10 meters. Since Wu Bo's score had just reached the Olympic A mark, even without Zhang Guan, there were three players in front of Wu Bo who had better results than him. The chance of participating in the Olympics is very slim, unless he can jump over 17.20 meters.
The score of 17.10 meters is already close to his limit for Wu Bo. His first trial jump only jumped 15.62 meters.
Then Gu Junjie came on the stage. He didn’t want to be squeezed out of the competition by Zhang Guan, so Gu Junjie showed great effort in the first jump, and this hard work also brought him huge benefits. His first jump score reached 16.88 meters, this is a good result that exceeds the Olympic B standard. This result also moved Gu Junjie to second place, second only to Zhang Guan.
The last twelfth person to appear is Zhu Shujing. He is the triple jump champion of the 10th National Games. He has also achieved scores of over 17 meters many times, but he has not yet reached the A standard score of this Olympic Games. At the same time, he is also the most promising Athletes who hope to reach the Olympic A standard. This track and field open is also an opportunity for Zhu Shujing to sprint towards the Olympic A standard. He chose a relatively stable jumping method for his first jump, and his score of 16.03 meters is also an excellent guaranteed score.
…
In the second and third rounds of trial jumps, Zhang Guan still gave up the trial jump, but no contestant could surpass Zhang Guan's 17.12 meters. After three rounds of trial jumps, four contestants with lower scores were eliminated, and the contestants' performance was also improved. The appearance was quickly re-ranked, and Zhang Guan also obtained the final appearance ranking.
In the fourth round of trial jumps, the performance of the contestants was mixed. Li Yanxi jumped with a score of 16.98 meters and rose to second place. However, except for Zhang Guan, no one could exceed 17 meters.
"It's Zhang Guan's turn next, and he may choose to give up the trial jump! Oh, no, Zhang Guan didn't give up this time, he stood in the approach area!"
The audience immediately burst into warm applause.
"I jumped 17.15 meters in the preliminaries, and I jumped 17.12 meters just now. Although these two results exceeded 17.10 meters, they were definitely not enough to ensure my participation in the Olympics. Zhong Minwei's best result was 17.27 meters , Gu Junjie once jumped 17.23 meters, so I need to jump over 17.3 meters. It looks like I need to work hard!" Zhang Guan stared ahead, his expression gradually became serious, and then started to run.
"Huh? Zhang Guan's momentum is different from just now!" The athletes who were closer to Zhang Guan had already felt the difference in Zhang Guan.
"The run-up is faster!"
Everyone gasped, and everyone could feel that Zhang Guan's jump would definitely exceed his previous jump of 17.12 meters.
One foot, step, take off, and then land in the sand pit, the trace of the final landing point has clearly exceeded the 17-meter mark, and it is much more than that.
"Wow!" Everyone exclaimed involuntarily.
"It feels like Zhang Guan's jump is really far! It is estimated to be more than 17.2 meters."
"I can't stop watching it, it's almost 17.3 meters!"
"I've never seen anyone jump that far."
"Stop talking, the surveyor is about to announce the results."
At this time, the measurer had finished the measurement. He had an incredulous expression on his face, then checked with another referee for a long time, and finally reported a result:
"17.37 meters!"
"Crash..." The athletes waiting to play in the preparation area immediately became confused.
"What? Did I hear it correctly? 17.37 meters?"
"It's impossible. Zhang Guan actually jumped 17.37 meters! Isn't that..."
"Yes, that's a new triple jump record! It broke the previous world record of 17.34 meters!"
There was a burst of applause from the audience. Everyone knew that Zhang Guan's score was much higher than others, but they didn't know that it was a record-breaking score. The commentator said: "
"17.37 meters! Oh my god, 17.37 meters. This is a new national record and a new Asian record! Before this, the national record and Asian record for the triple jump was 17.34 meters. This national record has been held No one has broken it for 27 years! Congratulations to Zhang Guan, for breaking the 27-year record! Congratulations to Zhang Guan!"
After hearing what the commentator said, the audience understood what the result of 17.37 meters meant.
Thunderous sounds resounded throughout the country's tranquil center, and even the earth seemed to be shaking. The audience was cheering, jumping for joy, shouting, and roaring. They waited all night and finally saw the scene they were looking forward to.
Among the coaching staff on the sidelines, a coach in his fifties showed a happy smile on his face.
"Broken, this record is finally broken! I didn't expect that my national record would last for twenty-seven years. Now someone has finally broken this record! It's great, it's great, this is what we need, This is how sports should be, higher, faster, stronger, constantly challenging yourself, constantly setting new records!”
