All-round Athlete

Chapter 199 Officially Opening the Dance

At the starting line, the athletes who participated in the 400-meter event were introduced again. When the camera lens was aimed at Zhang Guan, Zhang Guan had to smile and wave to the camera, but the smile felt extremely bitter.

"This stupid schedule! My second trial jump is gone!" Zhang Guan watched helplessly as Saladino completed the second trial jump, raising his best result to 8.21 meters.

It was the eleventh place, that is, the order of Zhang Guan's appearance. The long jump referee announced again that Zhang Guan could be the last one to appear in the jump, but it still didn't start. The American player Rashawn Merritt, who replaced Wariner, said that the shoelaces were not tied tightly, so he had to re-tie the shoelaces.

In the long jump field, the native Greek athlete Tessa Thomas stood in the run-up area for the second time. He was playing at home, and immediately attracted cheers from the audience, but the cheers were so piercing in Zhang Guan's ears. Because after Tessa Thomas's trial jump is over, it will be his turn again. This was still the last order postponed by the referee, but Zhang Guan still didn't catch up.

At this time, even the guest commentators in the studio began to complain: "This schedule is unreasonable, at least for Zhang Guan. He needs to participate in three competitions within half an hour, which is very unreasonable." It is difficult to complete. Moreover, this is the first time Zhang Guan participated in the long jump competition. It would be a pity if he did not even have the chance to try the jump. I think it is very unfair to Zhang Guan!"

The host smiled awkwardly, and explained: "Actually, the schedule was arranged very early. The organizer did not get the final list of participants. We all know that the World Cup in Track and Field is organized in the form of alliances from all continents." When participating in the competition, there are often situations where players replace each other. Some alliances even determine the final entry list after arriving in Athens, so it is impossible for the organizer to change the schedule. And I think that in this world, except for Zhang Guan , no one will compete in four events at the same time.”

While the host was making excuses for the sponsor, the gunfire of the men's 400-meter race also rang out.

Varina did not participate, and Zhang Guan lost his biggest competitor, so the 400-meter contest also lost its suspense. Zhang Guan is the one who can run within 43.20 seconds, while the best results of other contestants are all under 44 seconds. This is a contest between two different levels.

During the competition, although LaShaun Merritt, a young rookie, played a very good level, it was still impossible to stop Zhang Guan from winning the first place, but it was also a challenge for Merritt to be able to win the second place. good achievement.

Zhang Guan easily won the 400-meter gold medal with a time of 43.97 seconds. Just like the previous 100-meter competition, there is no suspense about this championship.

"Let me see, the first place in the men's event is actually the Asian United Team. They have won a total of three gold medals, especially Zhang Guan's two gold medals, which are of great help to the Asian team." Host People went on to say: "In the 100-meter sprint, Powell did not participate, and in the 400-meter sprint, Wariner did not participate. Zhang Guan has no opponents in these two events. It is expected to win the championship. In just 20 minutes, Zhang Guan completed the competition of two events, I wonder if he still has the energy left to complete the third trial jump of the long jump event!"

The guest immediately interjected and said: "I think Zhang Guan's stamina reserves will definitely be able to complete his third trial jump. Just one trial jump requires much less physical strength, and the third trial jump has just begun now." , I think Zhang Guan should have eight or nine minutes to rest and adjust, which is enough for a trial jump."

As the two talked about the long jump event, the broadcaster also pointed the camera at the long jump field. At this time, the athlete's third trial jump had already begun.

After this jump, the top eight players with the best results will remain on the field to complete the next three jumps, while the rest of the players will be eliminated. At this time, for those athletes who have been able to enter the top eight in a relatively stable manner, they can already try to sprint to the best results, and those who cannot stay in the top eight need to put all their eggs in one basket. up.

The current best result of Saudi player Walidi is 8.03 meters. According to the performance of the players so far, this result has more than 90% chances for him to stand in the top eight.

"This result is not a 100% guaranteed result, I have to improve it a little bit more!" Walidi's expression was extremely serious at this time, he bowed slightly, and then started the run-up.

Not far away, Mike Powell, the world record holder in the long jump, showed a satisfied smile on his face. As Walidi’s coach, he could feel that Walidi’s run-up was very good. If he performed normally in the jump, he should be able to Get a good grade.

Walidi did not disappoint Coach Powell either. He jumped out of 8.29 meters in this trial jump, which is infinitely close to 8.3 meters. This is definitely a very good result.

Validi walked off the field with a satisfied face. This very good result is the best result on the field so far. Not only can it ensure that he can enter the top eight smoothly, but if other players perform worse, Validi might You can also win a medal for this achievement.

Then came the Cuban player Iprasi Camejo. This time he did not protest the wind speed to the coach. Instead, he made a slight adjustment after entering the field and started a quick run-up. This time, the goddess of luck stood on Camejo On this side, he jumped out of a good result of 8.20 meters in one fell swoop.

"8.20 meters! There is a result of more than 8.20 meters! Although this is only the third trial jump, there are still many players working hard to be able to enter the top eight, but I have already smelled the taste of the championship, and I want to participate in the long jump event There is no need to wait until the last three jumps for the championship, it can start now!" The commentator said impassionedly.

Mokuna, a South African athlete from the African United team, also jumped out with a good result of 8.20 meters. Spain's Melis was sentenced to a foul in this jump, but he relied on his first two jumps of more than 8 meters. There is also a great chance to be in the top eight.

Soon, Saladino, the favorite to win the long jump competition, also appeared on the stage to start his third attempt.

In the previous second trial jump, Saladino's score of 8.21 meters was surpassed by Validi, and it exceeded 0.08 meters. This is not a small gap, but Saladino did not panic. He didn't give full play in the first two trials, and his best result could reach 8.7 meters, so Saladino couldn't feel the pressure at all with Validi's 8.29 meters.

Saladino ran up, took off, vacated, and landed in one go. However, everyone noticed that this time Saladino used the most basic squatting vacant.

Saladino's long jump technique can be regarded as the best in the world at present. He is proficient in various vacating postures, and he is also very accustomed to choosing the take-off and vacating posture on the spot according to the run-up situation. For example, this time, he chose the crouching posture Jump into the air.

Although it is the most basic volley, Saladino's results are very good. Judging from the traces left in the bunker, he obviously skipped the 8.3-meter barrier.

"8.33 meters!" The surveyor reported the result of Saladino's third attempt.

"Oh, it's Saladino! He scored 8.33 meters in the third attempt! Saladino continued his good form in the IAAF Gold League. I think this result must be enough Let him get a medal, even a gold!" The commentator began to praise Saladino in various ways.

Saladino has won five games in this year's Golden League, so he is still very famous in Europe, especially the result of 8.33 meters, which attracted warm cheers from the audience.

The strength of the next contestant who appeared on the stage was relatively average, perhaps affected by the atmosphere of the scene, he did not make a good result, and the result of the third trial jump was only 7.78 meters. He quickly completed his third trial jump, then left the arena shaking his head, obviously dissatisfied with his performance. According to his results of the first three trial jumps, it is impossible to enter the top eight.

"Next, it's Zhang Guan's turn to make his third trial jump!" The commentator paused for two seconds, and then said: "Maybe I should describe it in more detail. The first jump in the Athletics World Cup is also Zhang Guan's first jump in an international competition! But this jump is the third attempt in this competition."

"Due to the conflict of competition time, Zhang Guan gave up the first two trial jumps. We don't know how strong he is in the long jump event, but in the history of track and field, there are too many players who have both 100-meter sprint and long jump. From past experience, players who can break the world record in the 100-meter sprint often have good strength in the long jump event!"

"Now Zhang Guan has participated in two competitions, and we don't know how his current physical strength is. But without the adjustment of the first two jumps, Zhang Guan may not be able to enter the state immediately! From now on Looking at the results of the players, the score of the eighth player is 7.98 meters. I think Zhang Guan needs to jump at least 7.99 meters to ensure that he can enter the top eight! If Zhang Guan also jumps 7.98 meters, the comparison will be made according to the rules. The second best result, but Zhang Guan gave up in the first two attempts, that is to say, he did not get the result, so compared with the second best result, Zhang Guan will definitely lose!"

"Oh, Zhang Guan is ready for the run-up, he is about to start this trial jump, let us once again wish him good results!"

As soon as the commentator's voice fell, Zhang Guan had already started the run-up, starting his debut in the world long jump competition!

The first chapter has been delivered, ask for a monthly pass! The schedule of this Athletics World Cup is completely in accordance with the actual schedule at that time. After all, what I write is a competitive essay, not a fantasy fairy tale. It is definitely irresponsible to think of a plot in a flash of the mind, so before writing each paragraph, I will first check the information and set the plot according to the real information, so Whether you think it is reasonable or unreasonable, at least in terms of attitude, I wrote it for you very seriously, and I don’t demand everyone’s likes, as long as I have a clear conscience. Finally, I would like to thank the Purple Prison Moon and Half Thousand Points Awards.
