On the signboard marking the distance next to the sand pool, the big "9" is particularly conspicuous. The edge of the traces in the sand pool seemed to be exactly on top of this number.
"Did it reach nine meters?" This is the question on everyone's mind, but one thing that can be confirmed is that Zhang Guan's test jump result must have exceeded the world record of 8.96 meters just now.
The traces of the last trial jump are still within nine meters, but the traces of this trial jump have already overwhelmed the nine-meter mark. Even if it is just one centimeter short of reaching nine meters, it must be a bigger jump than the last trial jump. Far results.
"The referee raised the white flag. The result of this jump is valid. We still don't know whether it reached nine meters. We need to wait for the measurement results. But one thing is certain. Zhang Guan's test jump result has already reached 9 meters." It surpassed his last trial jump, which means that Zhang Guan once again broke the world record! Regardless of whether Zhang Guan's trial jump can reach the nine-meter mark, we will congratulate Zhang Guan and congratulate him for breaking it again World record!" The commentator suppressed the excitement in his heart and at the same time waited expectantly for the referee to announce the result.
Following the commentator's words, people realized that Zhang Guan had once again broken the world record.
"Two consecutive trial jumps, two consecutive world records, and the second time is very likely to reach nine meters. Am I dreaming? There are really such powerful people in this world!" The person who spoke Apparently he just came to his senses.
"Of course, that's Zhang Guan!" Someone next to him immediately replied: "Zhang Guan is a genius and the creator of miracles! It's up to you. His jump will definitely reach nine meters!"
Whether Zhang Guan's jump reached nine meters is the biggest suspense of today's competition. Before the result is announced, even the inspiration of a new world has been temporarily forgotten by people.
The surveyor carried out the operation carefully. It can be seen that he was very nervous, fearing that there would be any mistakes. If you walked closer, you could even notice that his hands were shaking constantly.
Zhang Guan was also very nervous. He was also anxiously waiting for his results. Zhang Guan himself was not sure whether he had surpassed the nine-meter mark. The pile of sand rising at the nine-meter line gave Zhang Guan a feeling of something stuck in his throat. He looked at the referee nervously. Every second at this time was extremely long to him.
Suddenly, there was an abnormal commotion among the judges, and then, the result of 9.00 meters appeared on the electronic monitor, clearly displayed in front of everyone, and was seen by countless pairs of eyes. Immediately, the cheers from the audience sounded like a typhoon and a tsunami, almost overturning the entire stadium.
"9 meters! It's 9 meters! It's really 9 meters! Zhang Guan did it! He did it! He really did it! He jumped to nine meters!" The commentator's roar sounded like a beast in heat that had just found a mate.
At the same time, photographers rushed over again, but this time, they did not encounter any obstruction. At this time, they were like a pride of lions who had discovered a mistake, rushing to Zhang Guan's side, the lens in their hands from Zhang Guan was aimed at Zhang Guan from all angles and recorded this historic scene.
ESPN's two commentators were also shocked.
"Oh! My God, Zhang Guan actually did it, 9 meters, the first time in human history to reach 9 meters. Unbelievable! Unimaginable! 9 meters! I was able to witness all this with my own eyes. I saw someone with my own eyes. Jumping to 9 meters, where are the limits of human beings?" the commentator exclaimed.
His companion next to him performed much better than him. He said: "Seventeen years ago, when Mike Powell jumped out of 8.95 meters, someone predicted that it was already the ultimate performance of mankind and that it would be impossible for humans to jump. to 9 meters, but today, that prophecy was broken, and a Chinese person broke this prophecy."
In front of the TV, countless European and American viewers were still talking about Zhang Guan having just surpassed Mike Powell. However, a few minutes later, Zhang Guan had already jumped to 9 meters. This is completely different from surpassing Powell just now. If surpassing Mike Powell with a score of 8.96 meters is to surpass a predecessor and a legend, then the current score of 9 meters seems to tell the world: I am Zhang Guan, I am a legend!
…
At the competition site, Saladino looked at the results on the electronic monitor and Zhang Guan, who was surrounded by reporters, and suddenly felt a sense of relief in his heart.
"9 meters. It turns out that 8.96 meters is not his limit. He can jump to 9 meters! Has he reached this point? Is this his true level?" Saladino took a deep breath and said By then he had fully understood that he was facing a god-like opponent.
"Perhaps in his eyes, I'm not worthy of being called an opponent at all!" Saladino shook his head mockingly. Suddenly, he found that the frustration and loss in his heart that he had just lost due to the loss of the championship had disappeared. Without a trace, he had absolutely no hatred towards Zhang Guan.
This is not numbness, but a biological instinct, the instinct of surrendering to the strong.
It's like two jackals on the prairie fighting for territory. The loser doesn't run away, but lurks around, waiting for opportunities to take back the territory, because the other party is also a jackal, and it is not afraid of fighting with it. . But if it discovers that the one occupying his territory is not a jackal, but a lion, he will definitely not wander around anymore, but decisively choose to go away. At the same time, the jackal will not resent the lion. , and even feel lucky that the lion did not eat him.
Now Saladino is like this jackal. He knows that Zhang Guan he is facing is a lion. He has no courage to challenge the lion at all. He even feels that it is natural for him to lose to Zhang Guan.
…
The bright national flag was raised again at this venue, and the majestic national anthem was played again at this stadium.
The audience stood up collectively, looked at the rising national flag, and sang loudly along with the playing of the national anthem.
Zhang Guan had the gold and jade Olympic gold medal hanging around his neck. Standing at the highest position on the podium, his heart was filled with a special sense of pride.
This is the third gold medal Zhang Guan has won in this Olympic Games, one in tennis and two in track and field. This is also the third time Zhang Guanzai has stood on the podium, but every time he stands here, Zhang Guan will feel an inexplicable touch.
This feeling is like that of a student who has been in poverty for ten years and went to Beijing to take the exam, and then returns to his hometown with the top score in high school, and comes to his mother. He is proud, but more importantly, he is grateful.
Zhang Guan took a deep breath. He liked this feeling and was obsessed with it.
"Three gold medals already, but for me, this is just the beginning!"
