The birth of a new world record forced the game to come to a standstill, especially since Zhang Guan was the host player. The home audience needed time to vent their extremely excited emotions.
A few minutes later, the group of photographers who broke into the stadium illegally were finally driven aside. The enthusiasm in the audience also subsided a lot, and the game could finally continue.
There is one last trial jump left. There is no longer any suspense about who will win the gold and silver medals. Although the rest is just a battle for the bronze medal, it is after all a competition between world-class players, so the competition is still exciting.
Probably because Zhang Guan broke the world record, the atmosphere at the scene became unprecedentedly lively. The audience showed the unique friendliness and enthusiasm of the Chinese people. Even if an unknown player came on the stage, they would still give warm applause. .
Perhaps because of the last jump, or perhaps inspired by the audience, several players performed very well in this last trial jump. For example, Cuban player Cameyo jumped 8.30 meters, Zimbabwean player Makusa also reached 8.20 meters, and Senegalese player Kababadi also jumped 8.16 meters.
However, these results are not enough to compete for the silver medal. At present, apart from Zhang Guan and Saladino, the best result is Mokeyena from South Africa. His score is 8.34 meters. If there are no accidents, he will win An Olympic bronze medal.
Judging from the results alone, in this Olympic long jump final, except for Zhang Guan and Saladino, the level of other players is indeed a slightly lower level. Without the contest between Zhang Guan and Saladino, the level of this Olympic final would be similar to that of an ordinary track and field grand prix, and the viewing would be average, and the audience would find it boring.
Dwight Phillips, the American long jump star and double champion of the World Championships and Athens Olympics, did not participate. He is the defending Olympic champion in the long jump event, but he has been injured and recovering from injuries throughout the year and has missed a lot. the match of. Another Greek star, Tessa Tomas, withdrew from the competition early because he failed in his first three attempts. Both of these two people are capable of competing with Saladino. The loss of these two heroes made the game look a lot worse.
Fortunately, Zhang Guan's world record can make up for everything.
On the field, all six players had finished their competition, and the bronze medal finally went to South Africa's Mokyena. Saladino also made his seventh appearance, and he was about to complete his sixth trial jump.
"Saladino is on the stage. This is his last trial jump. He has now confirmed to have won the Olympic silver medal, but I don't know if he is interested in challenging for the gold medal. After all, the 8.96 meters that Zhang Guan just set is a The new world record. Based on Saladino’s previous results, it may be difficult to challenge this world record.” The commentator commented. Of course, he hoped that Saladino would give up the last trial jump as soon as possible. That way Zhang Guan can directly win the gold medal.
Of course, some people have hopes for Saladino. In their view, since Zhang Guan can jump out of the world record of 8.96 meters, Saladino should also be able to jump out to a better result. After all, before this competition, Saladino has always been known as the world's number one long jumper.
Saladino walked onto the field, his expression still looked confused. He had no confidence at all to challenge the astonishing result of 8.96 meters. At this time, he was even thinking about completing this last trial jump as soon as possible. End the game.
The quality of a professional athlete he has cultivated over the years still made him become serious the moment he appeared on the stage. Even though he knew that surpassing Zhang Guan was an impossible task, he still stood firmly on the approach zone. , start running.
"Saladino, let's start... Hey!" The commentator suddenly sighed, and the audience also made a sound of regret, because at this time the referee had raised the red flag.
"Saladino committed a foul when he stepped on the line. It is a pity that he did not complete his last trial jump! At the same time, we also congratulate Zhang Guan for winning the men's long jump championship in this Olympic Games! This is Zhang Guan's best performance in this Olympic Games The third gold medal he won is also the second gold medal in track and field! We congratulate him!"
When the commentator finished speaking, the scene was already filled with thunderous applause.

"With Saladino's last trial jump failure, the overall situation has been decided. Although the competition is not over yet, Zhang Guan has already won the Olympic gold medal in advance! Congratulations to Zhang Guan for winning another gold medal."
"Yes, although Zhang Guan still has one last trial jump left, I think there is no need for him to continue to compete. Anyway, he has already won the championship and broke the record. This result is perfect for him. , I think any athlete would be very satisfied if he could achieve such a result." As soon as the commentator finished speaking, he saw Zhang Guan walking onto the field again in the broadcast.
"Zhang Guan is still on the stage. I think he may just dance casually. After all, he is playing at home, so he still has to give an explanation to the audience. I think this is also the reason why he continues to appear!" Another commentator said said immediately.
…
"Zhang Guan! Zhang Guan! Zhang Guan! Zhang Guan!" The audience began to shout Zhang Guan's name in unison again.
"Zhang Guan appears again. It seems that he is going to complete his last trial jump. Zhang Guan may have decided to end this game from beginning to end. After Zhang Guan's trial jump is over, the final of the Olympic men's long jump event will also follow. It’s over, and then we can officially announce that Zhang Guan won the Olympic champion in the men’s long jump event!”
The commentator paused and then said: "Actually, whether Zhang Guan completes this last trial jump, it will not affect the result. Even if Zhang Guan gives up this last trial jump, I think the audience can Accept, he has won the championship with a world record-breaking result, and he gave us the most perfect performance!"
At this time, Zhang Guan suddenly stretched out his right hand and pointed it at the camera. His thumb, middle finger, ring finger and little finger were all clenched into a fist. Only his index finger stretched out. Then he bent his index finger down and did A gesture.
"This?" The commentator was stunned for a moment and said, "Zhang Guan made a gesture towards the camera. This gesture means the number 'nine'. Why did he make this gesture?"
The next second, the commentator suddenly realized something. He shouted in shock: "Nine? Is it nine? Zhang Guan made a 'nine' gesture. I understand. Zhang Guan wants to continue to complete the trial jump. He wants to challenge nine. Mi Daguan!”
