Zhang Guan was the second player to appear. After Zhang Guan, there was Romanian athlete Oppulia.
Opria jumped out of 17.22 seconds in her first trial jump, which actually locked her into the top eight. Therefore, Opria’s third jump result will not affect the allocation of the top eight places.
Currently ranked eighth is Russian player Spasokhosky. His score is 16.79 meters. Therefore, Zhang Guan only needs to jump out with a score of 16.80 meters to squeeze out Spasokhosky and enter. Top eight. However, if Zhang Guan fails to jump 16.80 meters, or fails in his third try, he will be eliminated.
Therefore, Zhang Guan’s third trial jump was not only important to Zhang Guan, but also to Spasokhoski.
Spasokhoski on the sidelines was of course the most nervous person. He kept crossing himself on his chest and silently praying to God in his heart. Li Yanxi almost surpassed Spasokhoski in his trial jump just now, but before he could be happy after escaping from death, he once again faced the moment of life and death.
In comparison, Zhang Guanke ranked first in the preliminaries. His score of 17.54 meters in the preliminaries alone was already higher than Spasokhoski's normal level. If calculated based on strength, perhaps Zhang Guan only needs to succeed in the trial jump to surpass Spasokhoski's 16.79 meters.
"Zhang Guan is about to start his third trial jump. This is the most crucial trial jump. We hope that Zhang Guan can successfully complete this trial jump and advance to the top eight." The commentator said with a tone of voice. He spoke with an extremely solemn voice, and the atmosphere at the scene seemed very depressing and dull at this moment.
On the sidelines, Evola, Aidou or Sanz and others even hoped that Zhang Guan would make a mistake in this trial jump or even fail again due to a foul, so that they could lose a powerful opponent.
Zhang Guan walked into the run-up area. The TV broadcast camera gave a big close-up of his face. However, Zhang Guan looked very calm at this time. There was no sense of nervousness at all, as if he was not affected by the failure of the previous two attempts at all. Impact.
But in his heart, Zhang Guan has been summarizing his two trial jumps just now.
"I fouled the line twice in a row. I'm not very lucky today. Does this springboard today have any grudge against me?" Zhang Guan thought mockingly, then looked at the sand pool in front of him and took a deep breath. Made a running motion.
The next second, he transformed into a swift and agile cheetah, thinking ahead and rushing forward.
Countless eyes were all focused on Zhang Guan, and countless people held their breath, waiting for the moment when Zhang Guan took off. But some people seemed to be unable to bear the tension and excitement, so they closed their eyes and did not dare to look at what was happening on the field.
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Guan was in front of the springboard. He stepped on the springboard and jumped high into the air.
"Oh!" Someone exclaimed, because Zhang Guan looked pretty good even if he jumped on one foot.
At this time, Zhang Guan had already landed on the ground for the first time, and then started to jump.
"So far!" Evola, who was watching the game from the sidelines, said to himself. Although it was only a short time for Zhang Guan to jump from take-off to landing, Evola could already see it clearly. Zhang Guan's step jump was perfect. .
Zhang Guan has learned the skill of "stepping", so he is indeed stronger in step jumping.
After landing again, Zhang Guan took off again. This was the final jump and a crucial jump in the triple jump.
Zhang Guan was like a shooting star, streaking through the air. His shadow was reflected on the flat sand pool, and the shadow moved forward rapidly, and at the same time, it slowly became smaller.
It was Zhang Guan who was descending. Finally, the black shadow on the sand pool overlapped with Zhang Guan's body, and he landed in the sand pool.
The flying sand was flying everywhere, but it could not cover up the deep mark left by Zhang Guan when he fell into the sand pool. Everyone's eyes were focused on the leftmost edge of the mark, and then looked at the mark beside the sand pool. distance.
The left side of the edge of the trace corresponds to a deep marking line, and an Arabic numeral marked on the marking line: 18!
"18 meters! 18 meters! Oh my god! 18 meters! Zhang Guan jumped over the 18-meter mark!" While the commentator was speaking, the camera had already cut to the referee, who was holding a small white flag high. This was Tell everyone that Zhang Guan succeeded in his trial jump this time.
"There was no foul, the trial jump was successful, Zhang Guan jumped over the 18-meter mark! After the failure of the first two trial jumps, Zhang Guan became a blockbuster and jumped directly over 18 meters! Before that, only the British player Edwards and the American player Harrison once crossed 18 meters, and both men also set world records in the triple jump. Today, at this moment, there is another person in the world who can jump 18 meters, and he is Zhang Guan !”
The commentator shouted loudly, but his voice could not cover the cheers of the audience. For Zhang Guan's supporters, Zhang Guan's failure in his first two attempts was really depressing. Now, this This kind of depression finally found a window to vent. The original feelings of depression and frustration disappeared without a trace at this moment, replaced by a strong sense of excitement and satisfaction. It was as if the heavy rain and flash flood that had been blocked by the dam suddenly found a gap and surged out.
Amid the cheers and applause of the audience, the measurer completed the final measurement and then reported the results to the referee for final confirmation. Immediately afterwards, the results of Zhang Guan's trial jump appeared on the electronic monitor, and the television broadcaster also provided a subtitle box.
"Zhang Guan's jump was 18.10 meters. He broke the triple jump Olympic record held by American player Harrison! That's great! No one among the active athletes except Zhang Guan has jumped For results above 18 meters, even the world's number one Evola, his best result is only 17.74 meters. I think we can even congratulate Zhang Guan in advance for winning the men's triple jump championship. It’s his sixth gold medal in this Olympics! Zhang Guan only needed one trial jump to secure the championship, winning with one jump! It was really a one-jump victory!”
Since world record holder Edwards retired, let alone the 18-meter mark, even 17.80 has not been conquered for several years. Nowadays, the best results of the world's top triple jumpers are generally above 17.60 meters. There are very few who exceed 17.70 meters. The best result of a player like Evora, who is ranked number one in the world, is only 17.74 meters. So a score of over 18 meters can be said to have locked in the gold medal.
What's more, Zhang Guan's score is 18.10 meters. For a score of more than 18 meters, every 0.01 meter is an insurmountable chasm. From 18 meters to 18.10 meters, it is equivalent to crossing ten mountains in a row.
…
Zhang Guan looked at his score of 18.10 meters and let out a sigh of relief.
"It feels pretty good to win with one jump."
