Athletes' locker room.
"Zhang Guan broke the national record in the triple jump!" Da Shi, who had just won the silver medal, said with surprise when he heard the news.
"Is there anything strange about this? This is normal Zhang Guan." Liu Feiren smiled and continued: "National records, Asian records, and then world records. Zhang Guan always follows this pattern in every event. Today He broke the national record and the Asian record in the triple jump, and I guess he will be able to break the world record by the time of the Olympics!"
"You are quite optimistic about Zhang Guan. Has his condition fully recovered?" Da Shi asked.
Liu Feiren shook his head: "I don't know. From what I know about him, domestic competitions will obviously not allow him to show his full strength. Zhang Guan likes to perform in large events, so I guess in the Olympics, He might break several world records! Or break his own world record."
"Refresh his own world record?" Da Shi shook his head in disbelief. He feels that breaking a world record in track and field is already extremely difficult.
…
On the rostrum, Director Ma held a form in his hand. On it was a list of triple jumpers who had reached the Olympic A standard.
"I was still hesitating whether to let Zhang Guan participate in the Olympic triple jump competition. Now it seems that Zhang Guan must be given a quota. After breaking the national record, Zhang Guan became the domestic triple jump The person with the best performance in the event. And Li Yanxi, the player with the most stable triple jump performance in the country, also has to occupy a spot."
Director Ma ticked Zhang Guan's name, and then ticked Li Yanxi's name, thus confirming two places.
"Zhong Minwei, Gu Junjie, and Wu Bo, if there are no accidents, the remaining places will be chosen from these three people. Zhong Minwei's time of 17.27 meters last year met the standard, and Gu Junjie's best time was 17.23 meters, which met the standard. It’s 17.11 meters. Wu Bo’s best result is only 17.10 meters. Wu Bo probably doesn’t have to think about it. Let’s take a look at the next performance of Zhong Minwei and Gu Junjie!”
…
On the field, Gu Junjie looked serious. He knew that his Olympic quota was already very high. If Zhang Guan was still the holder of the original score of 17.15 meters, Gu Junjie could still beat Zhang Guan with his personal best result. But now that Zhang Guan has broken the national record and the Asian record in the triple jump, it means that he will participate in the competition. Zhang Guan has already taken one of the three places in the Olympic Games.
"My best score and standard score are not as good as Zhong Minwei's. I must jump to a better score!" Gu Junjie clenched his fists. There are still two trial jumps left, which will be his last chance.
Zhang Guan's record-breaking performance has already locked up the championship. Seeing the championship, there is no suspense. In the fifth trial jump, the athletes put down their burdens and performed at a good level.
In the last trial jump, Gu Junjie was extremely focused and worked hard. His concentration and hard work also brought him rewards. He jumped 17.25 meters, which also set a new personal best.
On the rostrum, Director Ma thought carefully for a moment and marked the words "to be determined" after the names of Zhong Minwei and Gu Junjie.
"Gu Junjie seems to be in very good shape recently, and Zhong Minwei's performance in today's game was average. If either of them plays, let's keep an eye on it!"
…
After the triple jump finals, Zhang Guan had no competition events on this day.
On May 25, the track and field open training was held. In addition to the final few gold medals in track and field events, there were also related competitions for the Paralympic events, because the Paralympic Games after the Olympic Games will also be held here. It is carried out on a set and requires on-site testing.
In the morning competition, Zhang Guan only had to participate in one competition, which was the men's 200m semi-finals. Zhang Guanqingsong advanced.
In the afternoon competition, the first event was the men's 200m final. Apart from Zhang Guan, no one in Asia could run the 200m within 20 seconds, so Zhang Guan ran a time of 19.98 seconds and successfully won. champion.
Half an hour later, Zhang Guan will participate in his last event in this Open, the men's 800m final.
…
At the starting line, Li Xiangyu, the domestic 800-meter champion, looked solemn.
Li Xiangyu previously reached the Olympic B standard, but Zhang Guan reached the Olympic A standard. When an A standard and a B standard appear at the same time, A standard athletes will definitely be selected to participate, so from the moment Zhang Guan reaches the Olympic A standard, Li Xiangyu has actually lost his qualification to participate in the Olympics.
If Li Xiangyu wants to continue competing, the only way is for him to also reach the Olympic A standard, but this is too difficult for him. Except for Zhang Guan, no domestic player has ever been able to reach the Olympic A standard of 1 minute and 46 seconds. This is even more difficult for him. It exceeded Li Xiangyu’s personal best of 1 minute, 46 seconds and 45 seconds, so rather than saying that Li Xiangyu was challenging the Olympic A standard, he was challenging himself.
Li Xiangyu also knew that this was a last-ditch battle, so he rushed to the front after the gunfire started. Li Xiangyu was worried that if other players took the lead, the speed would be too slow and affect his results. He has made plans to use all his strength to reach the finish line even if he is leading the race.
Among the domestic 800-meter athletes, Li Xiangyu is the strongest. For a relatively strong athlete, leading all the way to the finish line is also a way to achieve good results, and today, Li Xiangyu chose this method.
After one lap, several players could no longer keep up with Li Xiangyu's pace. After another 200 meters, only Zhang Guan and another player named Xia Xiudong were left behind Li Xiangyu.
Li Xiangyu's strength is indeed higher than other competitors. His endurance is very good. He led the whole 700 meters. In the last 100 meters, he still had the physical strength to exert force in the sprint stage.
After Zhang Guan followed for 700 meters, he passed Li Xiangyu in the last 100 meters and rushed to the first place. But this no longer matters to Li Xiangyu. He is eager to run a time of less than 1 minute and 46 seconds, reach the Olympic A standard, and participate in the Olympic Games.
Unfortunately, Li Xiangyu was still 0.2 seconds slower. His time of 1 minute, 46 seconds and 20 seconds was already his personal best, but he was still 0.2 seconds away from the Olympic A standard.
At the same time, Zhang Guan also won the men's 800m championship. This was his seventh gold medal in this track and field open!
With seven gold medals in one competition, Zhang Guan's performance was perfect.
Zhang Guan is also announcing to the world in this way that the King of Track and Field is back!
Chapter 3 delivered. The title is wrong, it should be Chapter 29. I can’t change it after it’s published. Sorry.
