All-round Athlete

Chapter 445

In the Olympic long jump qualifying competition, basically as long as you jump eight meters, you can enter the finals, which is no difficulty for Zhang Guan.

Zhang Guan was placed in Group A. In this group, there were several players that Zhang Guan knew, including Tessa Thomas from Greece, Carmeyo from Cuba, Meriz from Spain and Al-Sabah from Saudi Arabia. These players all participated in the Track and Field World Cup two years ago, and that time was Zhang Guan's first appearance in the international arena of long jump.

The qualifying competition still involves three jumps per person, but there are more than 20 contestants participating in this group, and it takes more than an hour to complete all the competitions, so the pace of the competition is actually not fast.

The performances of the first few contestants were relatively mediocre, and the best result was only 7.77 meters. This result is obviously impossible to enter the final.

Until Al Shaba of Saudi Arabia played, he jumped 8.04 meters, which is also the first result of more than 8 meters today.

Athletes play one by one, some people try to jump successfully, and some people fail to try to jump.

Finally, it was Zhang Guan's turn to play, and this once again attracted everyone's attention.

The more than 40 athletes participating in the competition may not all know each other, but it is certain that all of them know Zhang Guan, and some people who are interested will inevitably start to discuss.

"The next one is Zhang Guan's trial jump. I don't know what kind of result he can jump out of."

"The world champion of the 100-meter sprint and long jump, it has been a long time since such an athlete has appeared! He reminds me of Carl Lewis back then."

"Zhang Guan has the level of Carl Lewis in the sprint event, but not necessarily in the long jump event. He can reach the height of Carl Lewis."

"Zhang Guan has just finished running 100 meters, will he consume a lot of energy, maybe his first jump result will be very unsatisfactory!"

"Look, Zhang Guan has started his run-up, the speed is so fast!"

In the run-up area, Zhang Guan has already started to accelerate. His run-up speed was obviously much faster than other long jumpers, and he was not affected by the 100-meter semi-finals, which immediately attracted another surprised look.

"Based on this run-up speed, maybe they can skip eight meters!" Someone thought so.

At this time, Zhang Guan had already rushed down in front of the springboard. He stepped on the springboard with one foot and made a crisp sound. Then Zhang Guan exerted his strength and rose into the air.

"The take-off is a bit conservative." Someone immediately commented in his heart, because he noticed that although Zhang Guan's feet stepped on the take-off board, there was still a certain distance from the marking line of the take-off board, so this was an accidental jump. Conservative jumping.

This is Zhang Guan's first trial jump, so he still focuses on stability, jumping out with an effective result first to ensure that he can enter the final.

Zhang Guan's body turned into an arc in the air, and then landed in the sand pool, leaving a deep trace in the sand pool, and the edge of the trace obviously exceeded the eight-meter mark.

"Sure enough, the eight-meter mark has been passed! Calculated in this way, there is one less place to advance to the final."

"Zhang Guan is also very strong in the long jump event!"

"After all, long jump is still a sport that depends on physical talent. Zhang Guan is the world record holder in the 100 meters. It's normal to perform well in long jump, regardless of physical talent."

"Although it has passed eight meters, it has only passed a little bit. There is still a lot of difference from Saladino's 8.73 meters!"

"The result is out, 8.12 meters, it should be firmly in the final!"

...

8.12 meters is not a very good result in the Olympics, but it is enough to get out of the qualifying round and enter the finals the day after tomorrow.

The commentator at the scene also understood this, and he immediately said: "Steady! Zhang Guan's score of 8.12 meters must have made it to the day after tomorrow's long jump final. It seems that the impact of the 100-meter semi-final just now on Zhang Guan It's not big, and we also congratulate Zhang Guan for successfully qualifying! Considering that Zhang Guan will participate in the 100-meter final in a while, I suggest that Zhang Guan should not play in the next two trials to save energy. Prepare for the 100-meter final."

Just after the commentator finished speaking, South African player Mokeyena also completed his trial jump.

"Mokeyena jumped so far! It's almost the same as Zhang Guan just now."

"I think Mokeyena jumped farther than Zhang Guan!"

"The result is out, 8.14 meters, it is indeed farther than Zhang Guan's jump, he refreshed Zhang Guan's best result."

And just one person away, the British long jumper Rutherford who played next jumped out with a score of 8.16 meters.

"Rutherford, 8.16 meters, another finalist!"

"The Olympic Games are really full of strong people! Just now Zhang Guan jumped 8.12 meters, I already think he is very good, I didn't expect someone else to be able to jump 8.16 meters!"

"Nonsense, both Mokeyena and Rutherford are full-time long jump athletes, while Zhang Guan is a sprinter and long jumper. How can he be comparable to a full-time long jump player!"

On the sidelines, Zhang Guan frowned slightly. He expected that his 8.12m score would fall behind, but he did not expect to fall behind so quickly, and was overtaken by two opponents in the blink of an eye.

"This is our own Olympic Games. How can we let you foreigners take the lead. It seems that I have to go on stage to dance again. Even if it is a qualifying competition, I will keep the first result in China!" Zhang Guan Has made up his mind.

According to the past situation, since he has successfully advanced to the final, Zhang Guan will definitely give up the last two trials. But today is different, this is the Bird's Nest, and this is the Olympic Games held by China, so Zhang Guan will definitely strive for the first place in a group. This is not just for the honor of being the first in a group, but to show an aura to the world, an aura of never falling behind!

A few minutes later, Zhang Guan appeared in the run-up area again, and he started his second trial jump.

"Zhang Guan still has to play! His 8.12 meters in the first trial jump has ensured that he can successfully advance to the final, but he still has to play!" The commentator's tone was full of disbelief. He obviously didn't understand why Zhang Guan still played. In his opinion, it was the best choice to preserve his physical strength for the 100-meter final.

However, when all the audience stood up and cheered for Zhang Guan, the boiling atmosphere around him finally made the commentator understand why Zhang Guan chose to try jumping again.

In the run-up area, Zhang Guan took a deep breath and started the run-up again.

Zhang Guan's speed is still very fast, but unlike before, Zhang Guan is now more focused.

take off! Gliding in the air, and then made a landing action.

The fine sand in the sand pool was shoveled away, like a huge wave suddenly appearing on the calm sea, behind the sand wave was the dark trace left by Zhang Guan.

"It's more than 8.2 meters! Zhang Guan jumped farther than last time. It's also farther than Mokeyena and Rutherford!"

"Zhang Guan ranked first in the group again. So he didn't try his best in the first jump!"

"The surveyor announced, 8.22 meters! It's 10 centimeters more than just now."

"Who said just now that Zhang Guan is a sprinter and long jumper, and his performance must not be as good as a full-time long jumper?"
