All-round Athlete

Chapter 198 One Jump Is Enough

When the lottery was drawn before the long jump competition, Zhang Guan got the eleventh appearance, which was relatively late among the fourteen contestants. If you only participate in the long jump competition, this is definitely a very good pick, but at the same time as the long jump competition begins, Zhang Guan will also participate in the 100m and 400m competitions, and the eleventh appearance is not so good ideal.

The long jump final starts at 19:35, and the 100-meter final starts at 19:40. The difference between the two games is five minutes. However, the long jump preparation time is very short, while the 100-meter preparation time is longer. Calculated, when the 100-meter When the competition started, the long jump competition was almost in the second half of the first trial jump, which happened to be the time for Zhang Guan to play, so Zhang Guan had to give up the first trial jump.

The preparation area for long jump athletes, the former Asian record holder, Alku-Walidi from Saudi Arabia looked around, but did not find Zhang Guan, and then he turned his attention to the starting line 100 meters away, and finally I found Zhang Guan in the fourth lane.

"The 100-meter race is about to start! According to this calculation, Zhang Guan will miss the first jump! What a pity, I wanted to compete with you, but it seems that this time I have no chance! "Walidi thought while looking at Saladino.

"Saladino, you have won five times in the Golden League. You should be the strongest player in the long jump right now! I heard that you have already jumped to 8.7 meters. I don't know if it is true or not. Since Zhang Guan can't come, today I will Let's challenge you!"

Walidi's face is full of confidence. This year is the best year for Walidi. He has skipped the 8.4 mark three times in this year's competition. If Zhang Guan did not appear suddenly, Walidi is definitely well-deserved Asia's number one long jumper.

Not long ago, the Asian record broken by Zhang Guan in the National Athletics Championships was held by Walidi. At that time, Walidi was very upset. Zhang Guan’s new Asian record of 8.52 meters was even more exciting. Walidi. Walidi also had a score of more than 8.5 meters in daily training, so he felt that he could regain the Asian record. These days, he has doubled his training, just to perform in the Athletics World Cup today.

Walidi was the third to appear on the stage. The two players in front of him only jumped about 7.6 meters. This result can be regarded as the bottom of the world-class competition.

"The results of the first two contestants are not high. I'd better be safe in the first jump! Make sure of a success rate first."

I saw Walidi start the run-up, then take off, vacate, land, and finally achieved a score of 7.87 meters.

"With a guaranteed score of 7.87 meters, I will definitely not be able to enter the top eight. The jump just now made me find some game status." Walidi walked out of the sand pool while thinking.

The sand pool was quickly leveled off, and then the next athlete started a run-up. This person jumped over the 8-meter line in one fell swoop, and he was also the first athlete to cross the 8-meter mark today.

Walidi was startled. He knew this man, named Iprasie Camejo, a Cuban athlete who represented the South American team this time.

Next, Mokuna, a South African player from the African team, and Melis, a Spanish player from the European team, also jumped over the eight-meter line one after another.

"Oops, the first jump is really a bit conservative!" Walidi thought to himself.

At this moment, the on-site audio began to introduce the participants of the 100-meter sprint.

Tyson Gay of the US team, Obike Viru of the European team, Fasuba, the "African crown", etc., are all old acquaintances, and it is Trinia and Tobago star Bourne who replaced Powell. However, none of these athletes pose any threat to Zhang Guan.

Before standing on the starting block, Zhang Guan involuntarily looked at the long jump field in the distance, and happened to see the favorite to win the championship, Panamanian Saladino, standing in the run-up area and started to run.

"Saladino is the ninth to appear, and there are two more coming to me. It seems that I have to give up the first trial jump. It is a waste of time to introduce the athletes before the competition..." Zhang Guan felt dissatisfied While complaining, Saladino has already jumped a result of 8.17 meters, which is also the best result among the players currently participating.

Although Zhang Guan was a little anxious, he had to participate in the 100-meter final first, so he turned his head and focused on the 100-meter race.

Finally, the referee signaled the athletes to stand on the starting blocks and shouted the instructions to prepare.

At the same time, in the long jump competition, the referee announced that Zhang Guan was postponed to the last one because he had to participate in the 100-meter competition. The player who should have played twelfth was moved up one. When the 100-meter gun was about to sound, he had already completed his first trial jump.

The last one to play was the native Greek athlete Teresa Thomas. He originally had a minute to prepare, but he didn't seem to want to buy time for Zhang Guan. At the moment when the 100-meter gunshot sounded, he had already started the run-up, and then with a Stepped on the line foul and completed his first trial jump.

...

"The game started! Burns rushed to the front, followed by Obikveru, Guy! Guy caught up! Overtook, Guy took the lead! Wait, Zhang Guan! Zhang Guan! Zhang Guan catch up On it! Leading! There is an advantage, a great advantage! We will reach the finish line soon! Zhang Guan is the first to cross the line! 9.79 seconds! Zhang Guan ran within 9.8 seconds!" The commentator finished these in one breath, and then He took a deep breath to adjust, and then said: "Sure enough, Zhang Guan won the championship, a game without any suspense. We congratulate him! Congratulations to Zhang Guan for winning another gold medal for the Asian League. Team's second gold medal today!"

"The second place is the American player Tyson Gay, who ran a good time of 9.88 seconds! I think in the near future, this young man may become the backbone of the American sprint event. The third place is to replace Powell. Burns, who participated in the competition, although he started very well, he did not maintain the leading advantage, but we still have to congratulate him for being able to win a bronze medal!"

While the commentator was talking, Zhang Guan was also surrounded by reporters.

Zhang Guan looked at the long jump arena in the distance. Now the one-minute countdown is going on, but the run-up area is empty, and no athletes are preparing.

Zhang Guan knew that this countdown was aimed at him. Due to the need to participate in the 100-meter competition, the referee allowed Zhang Guan to be the last one to make a trial jump, but adjusting the order of appearance does not mean that he can wait indefinitely, so when Greek player Tessa Thomas ended his first trial jump After that, the timing for Zhang Guan began.

Zhang Guan shook his head helplessly. He just performed a crazy sprint of 100 meters, and he can replenish his physical strength, but his ligaments and leg muscles need three to five minutes to rest. In the long jump field, I am afraid it is not suitable for immediate competition.

"The 400-meter sprint will start in 20 minutes. I hope this round can be jumped faster so that I can take part in the second round before the 400-meter race." Zhang Guan thought silently.

...

Al-Walidi from Saudi Arabia had a serious expression on his face. Among the players behind him, several of them had already skipped eight meters. Compared with his 7.87-meter guarantee score, he was considered the last one. This made Walidi Dee desperately needs to make a good grade.

Walidi stood in the run-up area. He looked at the countdown and felt that there was still plenty of time, so he silently adjusted his state through breathing, and at the same time went through the technical essentials in his mind.

"Don't dawdle, you're jumping!" Zhang Guan, who was watching the battle from a distance, kept shouting in his heart. At this time, Zhang Guan was very anxious. He only felt that the West Asian guy in front of him was wasting time. This kind of behavior Very annoying.

"Just now in the first round of trial jumps, everyone jumped so fast, why did it take so long to prepare for the second round of trial jumps, this is the third trial jump, so after counting, when it's my turn , The 400-meter race is about to start again!"

Depression was written on Zhang Guan's face, and the camera just captured Zhang Guan's expression at this moment.

"It seems that Zhang Guan is waiting very anxiously! Walidi is the third player to take part in the test jump. After him, there are seven other players who will try to jump before it will be Zhang Guan's turn. Oh! The athlete of the men's 400-meter sprint It seems that preparations have begun! It seems that Zhang Guan will not be able to participate in the second trial jump. What a pity, I am afraid we will not be able to witness Zhang Guan's wonderful performance in the long jump event!"

At this time, Zhang Guan also saw the 400-meter runners come out one after another and walked to the starting line.

Walidi completed his second trial jump, raising his score to 8.03 meters.

"How time flies so fast! The 400-meter race is about to start, and it seems that I will give up on the second jump!" Zhang Guan silently glared at the Cuban player Iprasi who was preparing for the run-up area- Camejo, this guy not only dawdled and failed to prepare for the jump, but also chatted with the referee.

"You should feel it. It's headwind now. I ask to wait for the wind to calm down before doing this trial jump!" Ipraci-Camejo said to the referee.

The referee discussed with the two assistant referees and agreed to Iprahi Kamejo's request.

Similar situations are very common in long jump competitions. Athletes feel that the wind is too strong, which will affect their take-off, so they can ask not to start the countdown.

Nearly a minute later, the wind on the court was much less, and the referee signaled Ipraxi Kamejo to start his second trial jump. However, Camejo did not get the good results he wanted, and he fouled by stepping on the line.

"After spending so much time, I deserve no results!" Zhang Guan silently drew a few circles in his heart. But Zhang Guan also knew that according to the current situation, he really couldn't catch up with the second trial jump.

Ever since, Zhang Guan walked towards the 400-meter starting line helplessly. He gave up the jump again.

"In the first three jumps, you must enter the top eight. I have already given up on two trial jumps, and I still have one last chance!" Zhang Guan silently clenched his fists: "For me, one chance is enough! "
