All-round Athlete

Chapter 204 Over 8.6m

The position where Zhang Guan's feet landed has clearly surpassed the 8.55-meter point. Even if there is no virtual red line drawn by the broadcaster, the audience can tell it from the position of the ruler, but with the red line, It looks more vivid and intuitive.

"Zhang Guanyue has passed!" Saladino felt as if he had eaten a large plate of vinegar mixed with bitter gourd, mixed with sourness and bitterness. Originally, he thought he had defeated Zhang Guan, and in the last jump he completed the absolute victory over Zhang Guan. However, he never expected that Zhang Guan also completed the lore in the last jump.

The next moment, Saladino's eyes were fixed on the spot where Zhang Guan had landed. There was an obvious mark left in the originally flat bunker due to the landing of the athlete. At the end of the mark, it had already crossed 8.6 meters. The position of the marking line.

"Break the 8.6-meter barrier!" Although Saladino still couldn't know the exact final result of Zhang Guan, he clearly knew that Zhang Guan's jump would definitely exceed the final score of 8.6 meters.

The effective score in the official competition, which can exceed 8.6 meters, can be traced back to the 8.65 meters jumped by Cuban long jump star Ivan Pedroso six years ago. Pedroso used to be the winner of three consecutive long jump championships at the World Championships. He was the strongest long jump athlete in the world after Mike Powell retired. He once jumped more than 8.7 meters. In the latter part of his career, Pedroso also played against American player Phillips many times, and was even watched as a weakened version of Powell vs. Lewis.

In addition, the best result in the last six years is Dwight Phillips' 8.60 meters. Whether it is Phillips before the injury or Saladino at his peak, they actually have the ability to jump 8.7 meters. This is already recognized by the long jump community. What they lack is better performance and some luck in the game That's all. In fact, both of them have skipped the 8.70-meter mark in the next three years. It's just that in today's game, the two did not play their best form at their peak.

So at this moment, Saladino looked at Zhang Guan's result of over 8.6 meters, and in addition to being a little disappointed, he was more unwilling.

"Have you skipped 8.6 meters? I can do it too! If I am in better condition and luckier, I can jump farther!" Saladino clenched his fists fiercely, and then Thinking: "It's just that you have better luck today, next time we fight again, I will definitely not lose to you!"

Phillips, who was not far away, looked a little dignified. Due to injuries, he almost gave up this year's competition. Whether it is in the national level competition, this year's Athletic Federation Golden Face, or today's Track and Field World Cup, Phillips is based on recovering his body and adjusting the competition. The purpose of the state comes, and he is confident that he will be able to return to the top in the near future. And Phillips also knows that the biggest obstacle on his way back to the top is Saladino.

And now Phillips has confirmed that the obstacle before him is not only Saladino, but also a younger and more physically talented Zhang Guan. Judging from Zhang Guan's current performance, he may be more difficult to deal with than Saladino.

...

"We won! We won! We won! We won! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." Director Yu, who lived closest to him, wished he could kiss his bald head a few times.

Coach Li is just an ordinary coach of the national team, and he is still relatively young in age, while Director Yu is the deputy head coach of the national track and field team. The relationship between the two is quite different. In normal times, Coach Li would not dare to deal with the guidance like this, but today he is too excited. It can be said that his current thinking ability has been completely lost, and the rest is just instinct.

Indeed, for a coach like Coach Li who rarely even has the opportunity to go abroad on weekdays, it is normal to see his disciple win the world championship, how exaggerated his performance is.

Director Yu didn't blame Coach Li, even though Coach Li was wiping tears and snot all over his clothes. Director Yu can understand Coach Li's mood, just like the moment when Zhang Guan won the men's 100-meter championship in the Athens Olympics, the performance of Director Yu, who is nearly 60 years old, is similar to that of Coach Li today, perhaps with a runny nose And a little more.

...

"Crossed, surpassed 8.6 meters! Unbelievable! We were still discussing that Zhang Guan was able to jump to 8.55 meters, and he had already crossed 8.6 meters. Zhang Guan had no intention of comparing the second best result with Saladino. , He was about to surpass himself! Although the final result has not been measured yet, it is certain that Zhang Guan has won the championship! We congratulate Zhang Guan! At the same time, we also congratulate Saladino for winning the runner-up, thank you It was a great game for us!"

The commentator on the TV went on to say: "This can be said to be the most exciting long jump competition I have ever seen! Overtake, lore, and anti-lore! There is still suspense at the last jump of the game, and the outcome is at the end It was revealed in a moment! If you are a track and field fan, then I highly recommend you to watch this game! This is an amazing game that must not be missed!"

"Oh, the result is out, 8.63 meters! It's a pity that Ivan Pedroso, the famous Cuban long jumper, jumped 8.65 meters in 2000, but this is still the best result in the world's long jump competition in the past six years! And Don't forget, Zhang Guan is a sprinter. This is the first time he has appeared in the long jump field of an international competition. It is the first time he has participated in an international competition. He only used two jumps to refresh the long jump of the year twice. best result!"

"Zhang Guan deserves to be the most talented athlete in the world. Even in the field of long jump that he has never touched, he can achieve world championship level achievements. I think those who questioned Zhang Guan's long jump ability before the game, now You can shut up now, Zhang Guan has proved his strength with a gold medal."

"Today, Zhang Guan participated in a total of three events, namely the men's 100-meter sprint, the men's 400-meter sprint and the men's long jump. In all three events, Zhang Guan won the championship, and tomorrow, Zhang Guan will participate again In the final of the men's 200-meter sprint, we also look forward to Zhang Guan winning the fourth championship in this competition! Having won four gold medals in one Athletics World Cup, Zhang Guan will once again achieve unprecedented achievements!"

"It is a pity that the Asian United Team did not participate in the 4x100m and 4x400m competitions, otherwise Zhang Guan may still have hope for the fifth and sixth gold medals."

While the commentator was talking, the men's 5,000-meter final was also over. Qatar's 3,000-meter hurdle king, Shaheen, played a very strong part-time running ability in the men's 5,000-meter long-distance race and won the gold medal.

There are still many similarities between the 3,000-meter obstacle course and the 5,000-meter long-distance race. Although the distance between the two sports is 2,000 meters, the 3,000-meter obstacle course needs to cross obstacles, so the physical exertion is not very different from the 5,000-meter race. . Moreover, athletes who run the 3,000-meter obstacle course are better in terms of physical adjustment than those who run the 5,000-meter race, so it is not surprising that a world-record player like Shaheen also won the 5,000-meter championship. Moreover, in this Athletics World Cup, Bekele, the king of long-distance running in Ethiopia, did not participate in the competition, which also achieved Shaheen's gold medal.

This is also the fifth gold medal in the Asian United men's event. In this Athletics World Cup, a total of 10 gold medals will be won in the men's event on the first day of the competition, and the Asian United Team won half of them at one time, naturally standing at the top of the standings. For the Asian United, which has always been at the bottom of the list, this is a big upset.

...

The competition on the first day ended before 9:00 pm. For Athens, the host, 9:00 pm is obviously the beginning of a good nightlife. In addition, the second day’s competition will not start until 4:00 pm, so Participating athletes also have sufficient rest time.

Since the time permits, the organizer has specially vacated several venues after today's game for each participating team to hold a press conference.

The Asian United team won five gold medals in a row on the first day of the competition, and Zhang Guan won three gold medals, including a debut long jump event, which of course was the focus of media attention, so even if this is In European matches, the press conference of the Asian United still gathered the largest number of reporters.

Except for the spokesperson of the Asian United Team, Director Ma was arranged to sit in the most prominent position. Among the athletes who won the gold medal, only Koji Murofushi of the Japanese team attended the press conference. Neither Zhang Guan nor Sha Xien came. They will have a competition tomorrow. Zhang Guan will participate in the 200-meter sprint event, while Shaheen will participate in the 3,000-meter obstacle course in his old school.

After the spokesperson introduced the relevant situation eloquently, the media questioning session began. The media reporters were obviously impatient, and the target of their questions was of course Director Ma.

A blond reporter stood up and said, "First of all, I would like to congratulate Zhang Guan for winning three events on the first day of the competition. I am not surprised that Zhang Guan won the gold medals in the 100m and 400m events. What I didn't expect was that Zhang Guan has such a strong ability in the long jump event, may I ask when Zhang Guan started to get in touch with long jump."

"Thank you for your congratulations." Director Ma smiled slightly and said in proficient English: "In fact, Zhang Guan started to practice long jump after the World Indoor Athletics Championships in the first half of this year. The league, and to participate in two events at the same time, so the training time is very tight, even on a normal training day, you can only guarantee three hours for long jump training!"

When Director Ma said this, he paused on purpose to let the reporters digest the consultation he just revealed, and there was a chaotic whisper among the reporters below.

"Three hours a day? You can win the world championship! It's incredible!" the blond reporter sighed involuntarily.

"This is impossible! Three hours is enough for me to have dinner!" A Greek reporter whispered.

A German reporter next to him glared at the Greek reporter disdainfully, saying that Greece deserves to be the laziest country in Europe. Look at the Chinese, you can become a world champion in your dinner time!
