Another commentator also immediately said: "Zhang Guan has three chances to hit the world record. I originally thought he would make a slight adjustment in this trial jump and wait for the next two trial jumps before hitting the world record. Unexpectedly He got it right the first time!”
"Okay, I think we can relax now and enjoy the game in a down-to-earth manner. The gold medal and the world record, the two major suspense of this game have been revealed. Zhang Guan did his best! Next, Zhang Guan can Put the focus of the competition on the upcoming 400-meter final, and we also wish him to win another gold medal in the 400-meter final an hour later!"
Zhang Guan once again broke the world record. This result was expected by many people, but when it actually happened, some people still couldn't believe it.
"It's unbelievable, it's unbelievable. Zhang Guan broke the world record. Zhang Guan broke the world record again! The triple jump world record!" After the British commentator exclaimed, he suddenly remembered that Edwards was sitting By his side, wasn't what Zhang Guan broke the triple jump world record held by Edwards
"Mr. Edwards must feel very uncomfortable about the world record he holds!" The British man thought silently in his heart, and at the same time looked at Edwards beside him. However, Edwards did not show any loss or depression. Instead, he felt excited and relieved.
Edwards didn't pay attention to the commentator's surprised gaze. He took a deep breath and said: "Zhang Guan indeed broke the world record in the triple jump. I have been waiting for this day for 23 years! In 23 years When I broke the triple jump world record some time ago, I was thinking, who will break the record I set next? Today, I finally saw someone break my world record!"
"Mr. Edwards, you seem to be expecting someone to break your world record?" the commentator said casually.
"Yes, I don't deny this. I really look forward to someone breaking my world record!" Edwards continued: "23 years ago, I thought someone would be able to break this world record soon, but no one could break it. Thinking that I have waited for 23 years, I even thought that I would not see my world record broken by others until the day I leave this world. Fortunately, Zhang Guan, I want to thank him!"
"Thank you Zhang Guan?" the host was even more surprised.
"Do you feel that your world record has been broken by others, and you should be upset? Are you disappointed? Or depressed?" Edwards smiled slightly, and then continued: "Maybe some people will be like that, but I am not. In fact, I I feel that world records are both an honor and a burden.”
"Burden?" the narrator repeated the word in confusion.
"Yes, it is a burden." Edwards sighed softly and said: "When you stand at the top of the world, you will think that one day in the future, there may be a young man who will kick you down. Especially It is a sport that can only be higher, faster and stronger. Even if you are a world record holder, one day your world record will be broken by others. That is to say, one day you will be beaten by a young man. People are kicked off the altar! And the most painful thing is not the moment when someone is kicked off the altar, but the waiting time. Just like that step in the cartoon of "The Lion King"."
"Well, I don't quite understand what this has to do with cartoons," the narrator said bluntly.
"In "The Lion King", Simba's father Mufasa is the Lion King. Later, Scar replaces him during menopause, and then Simba replaces Scar. In the future, when Simba gets old, Scar will Scar's son will replace Simba again... However, in reality, on the African savannah, things will probably be more cruel. The lion king will continue to face challenges from other lions until they grow old, and then be kicked out of the pride. Eventually, they may Died in the mouths of a pack of hyenas or hyenas. Just imagine, if a lion king knows that sooner or later he will end up like this, then this kind of waiting will be so painful."
Edwards spread his hands and continued: "I have always felt this way. I am like that lion, waiting all the time. I am very anxious and painful. I was even afraid to read the newspaper because I I’m afraid that one day when I wake up and sit at the breakfast table, I will see someone breaking my world record! I will suddenly be hit by an inexplicable blow. But now, I don’t feel this way, because I have already Be mentally prepared, because the whole world knows that Zhang Guan is going to challenge the world of triple jump! He succeeded, congratulations to him! And thank him!"
"I think maybe only a legend like you who is at the top of the world can feel this way!" The commentator did not forget to praise Edwards.
"I don't know about other people, but I really feel relaxed now. I don't have to carry the heavy burden of being a world record holder anymore, and I don't have to worry every day that someone will surpass me. I'm finally free! Now, the wheel Zhang Guanlai is on tenterhooks now, and he holds more than one world record..." Edwards said this and laughed happily.
