Chapter 219 Surpassing You (Part 2)

On December 9th, ten gold medals will be determined in the track and field field of the Doha Asian Games.

Zhang Guan has only one game in the morning, which is the semi-final of the men's 100-meter sprint. In the 100m semi-finals, Zhang Guanyou saw many familiar faces he hadn't seen for a long time, such as Asahara Xuanzhi, Ha Beibei and others.

The sixteen contestants participating in the 100m semi-finals were divided into two groups, and the top four in each group entered the final. There must be no suspense for Zhang Guan to advance, and Hu Kai, the glasses man of the national team, also entered the final. Shingo Suesui of the Japanese pair retired due to injury before the match, so the Japanese team finally qualified as Asahara Shinji and Tsukahara Naoki, Habebe and another player from Saudi Arabia also successfully entered the final, and the last two places were Divided by Qatar players and Thailand players.

After the semi-finals of the men's 100m, followed by the preliminaries of the women's 100m hurdles, followed by a lunch break of more than five hours. When the competition starts again in the afternoon, the final of the men's long jump will be held first.

When the long jump competition started, it happened to be at 8 o'clock in the evening of the capital time, and the period with the highest ratings was also the prime time for the live broadcast of the competition. In addition, Zhang Guan would appear on the long jump field, so there was no doubt that the competition would be It has become the first choice for TV stations to broadcast live games.

The guest director Sun was once again a guest in the live broadcast room. At this time, he began to introduce incessantly. Most of the content was already mentioned yesterday. Results and so on. At the end, Director Sun began to introduce today's competition.

Director Sun said: "Zhang Guan's main competitor is Saudi Arabia's Alku Walidi, who has twice broken the Asian record in the long jump and was also the Asian record holder before Zhang Guan. But it is a pity that Walidi played abnormally in the qualifying round, fouled all three attempts, and failed to enter today's final."

"Does that mean that today's Zhang Guan will win the long jump championship relatively smoothly?" The commentator immediately asked from the side.

"I think it's like this." Director Sun changed his voice, and continued: "But Zhang Guan can't take it lightly, because Saudi Arabia still has two very strong players who have entered the finals, they are Al Shaba and Ben- Mazuk. What appears on the screen is Al-Shabah!"

There was a close-up of Al Shaba on the TV screen, and Director Sun continued to introduce: "Al Shaba is a seasoned veteran. He has participated in various long jump competitions since the late 1990s, and has won He has achieved very good results. As a player born in Saudi Arabia, he has always been the mainstay of the West Asian countries' long jump events."

"The one next to Al Shaba is Ben Mazuk. He is an African naturalized player. His current best result is 8.39 meters. This is a very good result. This result is the highest in the general international competition. Those who can win the gold medal are of course far behind Zhang Guan." Director Sun said confidently.

At this time, Ben Mazuk obviously realized that the camera was pointing at him. He waved his hand at the camera symbolically, and then continued to talk to Al Shaba next to him.

"I've been waiting for the whole day, and finally it's the final." Mazuk continued excitedly: "In the final, as long as I beat Zhang Guan, I will be famous all over the world!"

"I'm afraid it's not that easy!" Al Shaba seemed much more pessimistic, and he continued, "Zhang Guan's best result has exceeded 8.6 meters, which shows that he and Saladino are players of the same level. It is the top in the world, and we are still a little far from that level."

"Didn't Saladino also lose a game in the Golden League! So I believe that it is impossible for Zhang Guan to be in such a good state every game and jump to 8.6 meters. Besides, the coach thinks I have great potential. He I think I can defeat Zhang Guan." Mazuk then added: "Don't you trust the coach's judgment? Our coach is the world record holder in the long jump!"

"Coach..." Al Shaba quietly looked back at Coach Mike Powell, and then sighed softly. As a veteran, he was not as easily fooled by Coach Powell as the young Ben Mazuk.

Not far behind, Saudi Arabia coach Mike Powell looked worried.

At that time, Saudi Arabia hired Powell to coach with a high salary and gave him a 3+2 contract, which means that the first three years of coaching are guaranteed. After three years, if Powell leads the Saudi Arabian team to achieve good results, he will continue to continue. About two years, and now it happens to be the last of the previous three years.

Walidi broke the Asian record twice, which made Powell feel that there must be no problem in renewing the contract, but he did not expect that just a month after Walidi broke the Asian record for the second time, Zhang Guan turned out to appear in the long jump On the field, not only created a new Asian record, but also refreshed the best result of the year.

Powell suddenly felt a lot of pressure. Saudi Arabia hired Powell with a high salary, nothing more than for good results. If the Saudi team can't even win the Asian championship, Powell's job as the Saudi coach may come to an end. Although Powell doesn't like the weather in Saudi Arabia very much, he likes the dollar in Saudi Arabia very much, so the long jump final of the Asian Games is a battle to defend his job for Powell.

...

With much anticipation, the long jump finals began.

The twelve contestants who participated in the finals will draw lots to determine the order of appearance. After the first three jumps, the four contestants with the worst performance will be eliminated, and then the remaining eight contestants will appear in reverse order of the best performance.

Under this competition system, the first three jumps become very important. For weaker players, of course they hope to enter the top eight, but for stronger players, a good result in the first three jumps can guarantee a later appearance in the next three jumps. In the long jump, players who come out later will be more active.

The first player to play was a Filipino player named Dagmir. The Filipino player asked the audience for applause in a very ignorant way after he came on the stage, but he tossed around for a long time, but the audience didn't buy it. The kind of loud and rhythmic applause he was expecting did not sound, but instead attracted a lot of teasing whistles Voice.

A Filipino, neither a well-known big-name athlete nor a Qatari host player, naturally won't get much applause.

Seeing that there was no applause, Dugmeer could only start the run-up in embarrassment. He did not jump out of good results, and barely ended the first trial jump with a 7.15 meters.

Then, the Kuwaiti boy Al-Haddad, who performed very well in the qualifying round, came on the stage. He continued his good form yesterday and jumped 7.73 meters in the first jump, which is also his personal best result.

The third player to play is Japanese veteran Shinichi Terano, who is also the Japanese long jump record holder, but he stepped on the line and fouled in his first attempt.

Shinichi Terano's foul seemed to be contagious, and the next three players failed in their jump attempts. It was not until Al Shaba, who appeared next, jumped 7.65 meters, that the athlete's foul was stopped.

Immediately afterwards, Abdullah Al-Nubi, a local player from Qatar, appeared on the stage. Nubi once participated in the Athens Olympics and was a well-known long jump athlete in West Asian countries. Now he is a player from the host country, which naturally attracted There was a round of cheers from the audience. And Nubi did not disappoint the audience in Qatar, and the score of 7.62 meters temporarily ranked third.

Next came Zhang Guan.

I saw that Zhang Guan made a rhythmic run-up, and quickly increased his speed to the limit. When he was pedaling, he chose a more conservative way, and then jumped out, making elegant movements in the air, and easily crossed the Eight meters.

"8.20 meters, this is the first result of more than 8 meters today! I think this result can already win a medal. As for the gold medal, it depends on whether other players have performed better." The commentator immediately Said.

Director Sun, the guest at the side, went on to say: "I jumped 8.20 meters in the first jump. I'm afraid Zhang Guan will give up in the next few jumps!"

The competition was still going on, and Ben Mazuk was very lucky in the draw, and he was the last one to appear on the stage, but he had very bad luck in the first trial jump, his toe just touched the marking line, and the trial jump failed.

In the second round of trial jump immediately, Alshaba jumped 8.02 meters in one fell swoop, which can be regarded as touching the edge of the medal. After Ben Mazuk adjusted his state, he achieved a good result of 7.88 meters. And Zhang Guan, as Director Sun said, simply gave up the second trial jump.

In the third round of trial jumping, Al Shaba fouled, and Zhang Guan still gave up the trial jump. Al-Haddad from Kewell once again performed well, setting his own best result again with 7.80 meters. Japan's Terano Shinichi scored 7.59 meters, and India's Yadav, who had no results in the first two jumps, temporarily ranked eighth with 7.58 meters.

However, after Yadav's trial jump, the current results of the next few players are higher than Yadav's, so the top eight are basically determined, and the only suspense is the order of the last three jumps.

In the third attempt, Ben Mazuk was still the last to appear.

"I'm already in the top eight. Counting this time, I still have four attempts! I have four chances to become the champion of the Asian Games!"

Ben Mazuk has already decided that he will use the most extreme jumping method to attack the Asian Games champion.

Ma Zuke ran up quickly and came to the take-off board. The spiked shoes stepped on the take-off board and made a crisp sound. The referee was slightly stunned, as if recalling whether Ma Zuke had fouled by stepping on the line, and was hesitating whether to raise the white flag or the red flag.

Ma Zuke in the air didn't think so much, he made a walking movement in the air, and then violently rushed into the sand pool.

"Passed 8.4 meters!" Mazuk was ecstatic at the moment of landing, and then he walked out of the sandbox and looked at the referee. At this time, the referee had raised the white flag to indicate that there was no foul in this jump.

"Okay! No foul!" Mazuk clenched his fists and roared excitedly. At the same time, he thought silently in his heart:

"Zhang Guan, I skipped 8.4 meters, now I surpass you!"
