At the Youth Games, the long jump competition is about to begin.
A total of 12 athletes participated in the main competition of the long jump event, and the rules of the main competition are different from those of the qualifying competition. In the qualifying competition, each athlete only has three trial jump opportunities. In the main competition, three trial jumps are performed first. The bottom four will be eliminated. The top eight will be able to do three more trial jumps. This is also the Olympic Games. General Contest Rules.
For capable athletes, this is equal to six attempts, and the chance of the competition is greatly reduced.
"I estimate that as long as you can jump more than 7 meters, you can enter the top eight. So don't rush for success in your first trial jump. Focus on stability and get a guaranteed result first." Dai Li Open your mouth and give the order.
Fang Haiquan nodded. He was still a little nervous as a captain, but it was much better than yesterday.
This time Fang Haiquan drew number 7, which was the seventh number to play. This was considered a lucky number.
The first six players came on stage one after another, including Hong Chenglong who jumped 7.39 meters yesterday. When asked to jump in the main competition, Hong Chenglong still performed very steadily and easily jumped 7.28. This result means that he has already You can rank in the top eight and get the opportunity to try out the next three jumps. Next, he can choose a more extreme jumping method to achieve good results.
Except for Hong Chenglong, several other athletes who participated had scores within 7 meters. They still need to work hard, otherwise they will have to rely on luck.
Finally it was Fang Haiquan's turn to appear. He calmed down his nervousness and then stood in the running area.
"Look, this is the 16-year-old youngster, a talented athlete of the provincial youth team."
"He was the one who jumped 7.54 meters in the qualifying competition this morning, right? Now in the main competition, I don't know if he can perform as well as he did."
"Normally, he will preserve his strength in the qualifying rounds. I think now that it's the main round, his results may be even better."
People around started talking quietly.
On the field, Fang Haiquan had already started to take a run-up. His acceleration was still very fast, and he increased his speed to the highest level in the blink of an eye. However, his takeoff this time was still as conservative as in the morning, and he did not make full use of the takeoff board.
Fang Haiquan jumped into the air, and then landed directly in the sand pool. The traces left in the sand pool already exceeded the 7-meter mark.
"7.26 meters!" the surveyor reported the result.
"Nice job!" Dai Li applauded Fang Haiquan. This result can also ensure that he will enter the top eight, and in the next five trial jumps, Fang Haiquan can boldly try more extreme jumps.
Soon after, Yang Gang from the Yuzhou team also appeared. He jumped 7.43 meters in his first try and took the lead again.
…
"We now have a guaranteed result, so next, you can jump a little more unrestrainedly and to the extreme. Especially when taking off, you can try to make more use of the springboard. The trial jump you just made, There is still a long distance between the toes and the springboard." Li Dai said.
"I'm just worried about stepping on the line." Fang Haiquan explained.
"Don't worry, be brave and try. We have five opportunities to try. Just seize one of the opportunities." Dai Li continued to guide: "In addition, you should pay attention to your waist when landing. Use force, tighten your abdomen a little tighter, and push your legs forward harder...
In the second trial jump, Fang Haiquan chose a more extreme take-off according to what Li Dai said, but he stepped on the line and fouled. In the subsequent third trial jump, Fang Haiquan performed very well and jumped a good score of 7.57 meters, which was further than the qualifying round.
The situation of other athletes is also mixed. For example, Yang Gang, perhaps too pursuing extreme results, so he failed two consecutive trial jumps.
After three trial jumps, four contestants were eliminated, and the remaining eight contestants will be re-arranged according to their respective results. The better the performance ranking, the later they will appear.
Fang Haiquan is temporarily ranked first with 7.57 meters, so he will appear in the finale. Yang Gang's second and third attempts all ended in failure.
…
Yang Gang failed two consecutive trial jumps, which made Zhao Shouliang look a little ugly. What made Zhao Shouliang even more dissatisfied was that Fang Haiquan was currently the best performer, and even Yang Gang was suppressed by Fang Haiquan.
"You can't lose to Li Dai!" Zhao Shouliang gritted his teeth fiercely. He called Yang Gang closer and said in a low voice: "You have to work harder. Your strength is superior. You should always be the first." Yes, how can you be surpassed by others? Besides, the athlete who surpassed you is only 16 years old, and you are much older than him!"
Yang Gang's face tightened. He obviously didn't want to mention his age, which was his weakness.
"The fourth trial jump will begin soon. Be serious and give your best! Don't forget that our goal is to win the championship!" Zhao Shouliang said with a burning look in his eyes.
If Yang Gang can win the championship, Zhao Shouliang, as the coach, will definitely be the first to win, and he may have the opportunity to be promoted.
The competition was paused for more than ten minutes, and after the athletes' appearance order was determined, the fourth round of test jumps began. At this point in the competition, athletes give it all a try and no longer have any chance of retaining their strength. Every time they try to jump, they try to be as extreme as possible, with the goal of achieving a good result. The consequence of this hard work is that the failure rate greatly increases.
After the fourth trial jump began, the first two athletes' trial jumps both ended in line-stepping fouls.
The third player succeeded. He achieved a good result of 7.31 meters, which already reached the first-level athlete standard of 7.30 meters.
The athlete walked out of the sandbox with satisfaction. He was not strong enough to win a medal and could meet the standards of a first-level athlete. His purpose of participating had been achieved.
…
Hong Chenglong walked into the running area, his face looking extremely solemn.
Hong Chenglong was also selected for the provincial youth team at the age of sixteen. After less than a year of training, he was selected by the provincial sports team. Today, he has become the strongest long jumper under the age of 18 in the provincial sports team. So before participating in the competition, Hong Chenglong felt that he had already won the championship. What he didn't expect was that there would be someone better than him, and two of them suddenly appeared.
"Yang Gang from Yuzhou City has never been heard of before. I don't know where he came from. There is also Fang Haiquan from the youth team. He is only 16 years old and is already so perverted. How can the long jump event in China be affected in the future? Aren't you going to become his world? Why am I so unlucky..."
Hong Chenglong sighed. He felt that the gold medal was already very far away from him, but as an athlete, he did not choose to give up. He still tried to fight for it.
"At 7.51 meters, Hong Chenglong also broke through the 7.50 meter mark!"
7.51 meters is a very good result for Hong Chenglong. If it were normal times, Hong Chenglong would definitely celebrate happily, but now, Hong Chenglong still has a depressed look on his face because he still cannot compare to Fang Haiquan. 7.57 meters.
The next person to appear is Yang Gang. He jumped 7.63 meters in the qualifying round, so many people will have expectations for him.
As soon as Yang Gang prepared, he immediately started running, then took off, soared, and landed, all in one movement.
"Another 7.60 meters passed!"
Everyone looked and saw that the edge of Yang Gang's traces in the sand pool had indeed exceeded the 7.60-meter mark. "
"7.64 meters!" the surveyor said.
"He jumped 7.63 meters in the qualifying round. It seems like that was no coincidence!"
"It's even farther than what they jumped in the qualifying round. I'm afraid the Yuzhou City team will get the gold medal!"
"It's rare to see results exceeding 7.60 meters in youth competitions."
"That's right. Even in the U20 level competition, 7.60 meters is a very good result."
Zhao Shouliang looked satisfied, and he glanced deliberately, his eyes full of provocation.
Amid people's discussion, Fang Haiquan also stepped onto the field.
"That 16-year-old talented player is going to play!"
People's attention instantly focused on Fang Haiquan.
"Bah bang bang bang!" Li Dai applauded Fang Haiquan.
"Come on! Come on!" Dai Li shouted extremely loudly.
"The one who applauded and shouted cheers must be his coach. He is quite young. He looks like he is only in his twenties. He is younger than many athletes!"
"This young man has some ability and can bring out an excellent athlete, and he is also very conscientious. Look at his 'come on' and shouting, work harder!"
Of course, everyone didn't know that Li Dai was using the morale-boosting book, and thought that Li Dai was simply encouraging Fang Haiquan.
Zhao Shouliang had a disdainful expression on his face: "Shout, just shout, it doesn't matter if you break your throat! The improvement of an athlete's strength requires years of training, and it doesn't happen overnight. Now that you are shouting so loudly, it doesn't matter at all." It’s no use!”
While Zhao Shouliang was thinking about it, Fang Haiquan on the field was already moving. At this time, his morale was boosted and his movements became more powerful.
"Drink!" He shouted, and at the same time his body rose into the air, and then he made an elegant three-step movement in the air, straightened his legs forward, and rushed into the sand pool.
"Okay!" Li Dai was the first to shout. His sight was blocked by the flying sand, and he could not see Fang Haiquan's results clearly at all. However, just by Fang Haiquan's movements, Li Dai felt Fang Haiquan's jump and results. It will definitely be good.
The scattered sand fell, and Fang Haiquan used his strength to run out of the sand pool. The edge of the trail behind him had already exceeded the 7.60-meter mark.
"Another score of over 7.60 meters, what is it?"
"It feels farther than the 7.64 meters just now."
Everyone around them stretched their heads and stared at the surveyor.
"7.66 meters!" the surveyor shouted.
"What!" Zhao Shouliang's face tightened in vain!
