The surveyor hurriedly walked onto the sand pool, and then reported Zhang Guan's fourth trial jump score with excitement - 8.92 meters!
"8.92 meters! Zhang Guan jumped 8.92 meters! This is a new Olympic record! Again, the previous Olympic record for men's long jump was 8.90 meters set by American player Beamon in 1968. This was also the world record at the time. This world record It was not broken until 1991 by Mike Powell. But for the Olympics, this record has stood for 40 years! Forty years ago on October 18, at the Mexico Olympics, Beamon jumped 8.90 meters. The Olympic record was finally broken by Zhang Guan today, and today is also the 18th. This seems to be an inheritance, an inheritance separated by forty years!" The commentator could not conceal his excitement, and his voice began to change. Have to tremble.
Whether at the Bird's Nest or in front of the TV, countless spectators began to cheer. Just now, when Saladino jumped 8.86 meters, almost everyone thought that the championship had lost its suspense. However, just one minute later, everything Everything was reversed. Originally, Saladino overtook Zhang Guan by 0.06 meters, but now, Zhang Guan overtook Saladino by 0.06 meters. This rollercoaster-like change happened so fast that many people with heart problems even found out about quick-acting Jiuxin Pills.
In the ESPN studio, the two commentators once again fell into a state of confusion.
A minute ago, they were still there praising Saladino for his strength. His performance of 8.86 meters could not be surpassed. But a minute later, when Zhang Guan walked out of the sand pool, both of them were speechless at the same time. Word.
What about the achievement that no one promised to surpass within ten years? Why was he surpassed after just one minute? Did you say that Zhang Guan can overtake unless a miracle happens? As a result, a miracle really happened.
After a long time, one of the commentators took a deep breath and said: "At 8.92 meters, Zhang Guan is now second only to the world record holder Mike Powell in the long jump! It must be said that Zhang Guan is a very good person. An athlete who is good at creating miracles, he has created countless miracles in track and field before this, and today, he created another miracle again!"
Another commentator also recovered and said: "Yes, 8.92 meters, a new Olympic long jump record, and he is only 3 centimeters away from Mike Powell's world record. He has only 3 centimeters left this year. At 22 years old, maybe one day in the future, he can surpass Mike Powell and set a new world record."
"One day in the future? I don't think so. Maybe Zhang Guan will set a new world record in his next trial jump!"
…
"Zhang Guan! Zhang Guan! Zhang Guan! Zhang Guan..."
The audience at the scene began to shout Zhang Guan's name in unison, as if welcoming a hero's triumphant return.
Saladino looked at all this in a daze, as if he had fallen from heaven into hell. He only enjoyed the fruits of victory for a minute. In just one minute, Saladino, who was full of hope, once again fell into a sea of despair.
"8.92 meters? Zhang Guan jumped 8.92 meters? Can I still surpass him?" Saladino kept asking himself. At this time, he actually knew that he could not jump better than Zhang Guan. In his heart, he was still unwilling to accept failure or admit failure.
The last time Zhang Guan jumped out of 8.80 meters, Saladino felt despair, but he turned that despair into motivation to move forward; and this time, he felt even greater despair, which even made him He didn't have the courage to face it anymore.
Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted. Things like a last-ditch fight can only be used once in a game. The feeling of surviving the disaster is indeed extremely exciting, but when it is discovered that the so-called victory only eliminated the enemy's vanguard, there is no capital for the second battle. Therefore, after breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, one can only fight once against the odds. I have never heard of the term "World War II against the odds."
At this time, Saladino was on the verge of collapse, but as the world's top track and field athlete, his professionalism allowed him to continue to persevere, and the desire for victory in his heart supported him to continue. Get on the field.
The competition has entered the fifth trial jump, and the remaining six players have begun competing for the bronze medal. Whether it is Zhang Guan's score of 8.92 meters or Saladino's score of 8.86 meters, they are beyond their reach. The gap is really too big. After knowing that there is no hope for gold or silver medals, the players relieved themselves of their burdens. Therefore, it also performed better.
The fifth trial jump of the top six contestants ended again, and Saladino walked onto the field in a daze.
"8.92 meters? How should I surpass him? Am I really unable to defeat him? Did I come to the Olympics just to lose to him again?" Saladino shook his head fiercely: "No, I don't I will admit defeat!”
Saladino once again mustered up the courage to challenge Zhang Guan. However, in the eyes of many people, Saladino's move is undoubtedly a mantis trying to control the situation. 8.92 meters, in people's minds, is already an achievement that cannot be surpassed.
During the fourth trial jump, Saladino's mind was completely blank. However, this time, Saladino's mind was filled with all kinds of distracting thoughts.
I saw Saladino start his run-up, and his speed was still very fast. He stepped on the take-off board accurately, and then jumped high. But the professionals on the field have already seen that Saladino's trial jump was far inferior to his previous attempts.
Saladino fell into the sand pool. The moment his feet came into contact with the sand, Saladino saw from the corner of his eye that the 8.90-meter marking line was still in front of him. He even knew that he had not surpassed Zhang Guan in this regard.
8.42 meters, this is the result of Saladino’s fifth trial jump. In normal times, this is also a great number, but today, for Saladino, this result is really far behind. too far. He walked off the field in despair, his eyes full of confusion.
"Saladino has lost. His results have been constantly improving in the past few times, but this time he only jumped 8.42 meters, which has exhausted his momentum. Although Saladino still has one more trial jump , but if his momentum is not as good as before, he has failed psychologically, and it is impossible for him to achieve better results." Many people have realized this, and this also means that Zhang Guan is about to win his The first long jump Olympic champion, and also his third gold medal in this Olympic Games.
…
"With Saladino's current state, I'm afraid he won't be able to surpass Zhang Guan again. I think Zhang Guan can relax now and complete the next two trial jumps safely. 8.92 meters is already a very good jump. Now that he has achieved good results, Zhang Guan can choose a more conservative jumping method to save energy and avoid injuries at the same time." The ESPN commentator said.
"Yes, if I were Zhang Guan, I would simply give up the next two trial jumps. We all know that Zhang Guan will also participate in competitions in other events. Timely retention will also be beneficial to the next schedule." This person After a pause, he continued: "But Zhang Guan obviously can't hear our advice. Look, he is on the field again. Is he going to complete his last two trial jumps?"
Zhang Guan walked onto the field again, and the broadcast camera was also focused on him, giving him a big close-up of his face.
Zhang Guan stretched out a finger and seemed to be saying something at the same time.
The two ESPN commentators looked at each other in confusion, and then one of them said: "Zhang Guan stretched out his finger, obviously indicating that he was the first, but I don't know what he said, it should be a Chinese sentence Come on! Do you understand Chinese?"
His companion shook his head: "In Chinese, I can only say 'hello', but Zhang Guan's mouth shape just now is obviously not 'hello'. I think our Chinese colleagues may have interpreted Zhang Guan's mouth shape just now." What are you talking about?"
Of course ESPN's two foreign commentators didn't understand the Chinese mouth patterns, but the domestic commentators understood Zhang Guan's mouth patterns.
"World record! What Zhang Guan just said was the word 'world record'. That's right. I can confirm that from the shape of his mouth, Zhang Guan said the word 'world record'. I understand. Now, an Olympic record cannot satisfy Zhang Guan, Zhang Guan wants to hit the world record in the long jump event!"
