Chapter 446 Another Carl Lewis?

"8.22 meters! Zhang Guan's test jump this time is 8.22 meters, which is even better than before!" The commentator continued: "Zhang Guan's second test jump is still very stable. It seems that the jump is very easy, but The results are much better than before! He is now ranked first in the group again."

"Zhang Guan! Zhang Guan! Zhang Guan! Zhang Guan..."

The audience at the scene began to collectively shout Zhang Guan's name, and Zhang Guan once again ascended to the first place in the group, and also conquered the entire audience.

"8.22 meters, Zhang Guan's performance has improved again. He has already surpassed your and my results. Are you ready to challenge again?" The speaker was South African player Mokeyena, who just jumped out of the 8.14 meters. score.

Opposite Mokyena, the British player Rutherford shook his head: "I'll go up and find out how I feel. Now it's just a qualifying round. There's no need to fight so fiercely. Since my 8.16 meters can already guarantee to qualify , there is no need to fight for the first place in that group, and this is Zhang Guan's home field after all, so we still have to give him some face."

While the two were talking, someone suddenly exclaimed: "8.27 meters, Tessa Thomas jumped 8.27 meters! Zhang Guan was overtaken again!"

At this moment, beside the sand pool, the Greek player Tessa Thomas saw his results, made a punching movement, and roared excitedly.

Tessa Thomas is a famous long jump player in Europe. He participated in the Athens Olympics four years ago, but was eliminated in the qualifying round. He also participated in the Athletics World Cup two years ago and achieved good results. In recent years, he has made great progress and can be said to be one of the strongest long jump players in Europe.

Tessa Thomas is an athlete who pursues the limit very much. When other athletes encounter fouls when they step on the line during take-off, they tend to be more conservative in the next trial jump, but Tessa Thomas will choose to jump to a more extreme limit. So Tessa Thomas is often able to jump some great results, but there are often failed attempts.

For example, in today's Olympic Games, many athletes in the long jump will choose to seek stability in the first jump and make a result first, but Tessa Thomas is different. His first jump is very extreme, and the result is that he stepped on the line. Foul. But in the second trial jump, he continued to choose the extreme jump method, which also brought him rewards, and he jumped out of 8.27 meters in one fell swoop.

8.27 meters, in the general long jump world competitions, it is already possible to win the gold medal. In the Olympic competition, athletes can only jump out of this result when they perform well.

"8.27 meters, I think this should be the number one result in today's qualifying competition!"

"This is just the qualifying round. It feels so intense. Zhang Guan just jumped out of 8.22 meters, and was immediately overtaken by Tessa Thomas."

"Zhang Guan still has a chance to try jumping. Do you think he will play again?"

Many people's eyes were on Zhang Guan, and even the broadcast camera gave Zhang Guan a big close-up.

Zhang Guan still looked normal, unable to tell what was going on in his heart.

The second round of trial jumping is over. Some people are happy, and some are worried. Except for one Algerian athlete, all other contestants have already achieved guaranteed results, and some strong players have basically locked themselves in to qualify for the group stage. quota.

The third round of trial jumps begins, which is the last jump of the qualifying round. For those athletes whose results are not satisfactory, this is their last chance to hit the Olympic finals. In this jump, the athletes jumped more boldly, and the probability of failure also increased significantly.

"Cuban player Carmeyo jumped 8.23 ​​meters! This is another achievement exceeding 8.2 meters!"

Carmeyo walked off the field with a look of excitement. He is also a player who is qualified to compete for a medal, but his performance in the first two jumps was not satisfactory. His best result was only 7.97 meters, and he was on the verge of being eliminated. , and this time the result of 8.23 ​​meters can make him enter the final steadily.

Zhang Guan's score of 8.22 meters was squeezed to the third place again.

One player after another came on the stage, and finally, it was Zhang Guan's turn to make the third trial jump.

The previous contestant had just finished jumping, and Zhang Guan hadn't stood on the run-up zone, and the audience had already started to cheer wildly. Obviously they are looking forward to Zhang Guan appearing on the field again.

Zhang Guan did not disappoint them either. He walked slowly to the run-up area, and was greeted with even more enthusiastic cheers and applause.

"Zhang Guan is on the field! He must challenge Tessa Thomas' 8.27-meter score! It's been a long time since I saw such an intense long jump qualifying competition."

This time, Zhang Guan spent a lot of preparation time, and the referee also cooperated for a long time before pressing the timer.

Zhang Guan started to run up, like a galloping horse, and then he jumped high, like a shooting star, gliding over the sand pool.

Soaring into the air, rising, falling, and landing, Zhang Guan simply and neatly completed the whole set of long jump movements.

"It's over 8.3 meters!" Someone said looking at the measurement performance next to the sand pool.

At this time, although everyone didn't know Zhang Guan's distance score, but the traces left by Zhang Guan did obviously exceed the 8.3-meter marking line.

"8.32 meters!" The surveyor announced the result of this jump.

The players watching the match immediately fell into a brief commotion.

"Is this really a qualifying competition? The 8.27 meters just now is enough to surprise me. I didn't expect another 8.32 meters to appear."

"This is definitely the number one result in the qualifying competition, and no one can surpass it. I don't think anyone will be able to surpass this result in the next few Olympic Games."

"Zhang Guan is really getting braver as he fights. He is 8.12 meters, 8.22 meters, and now he is 8.32 meters. His performance has improved so fast. Where is his limit?"

"Maybe Zhang Guan has returned to his peak state. Two years ago in the Track and Field World Cup, Zhang Guan jumped 8.70 meters, the best result of the year!"

"Sprint and long jump, and both are so good, I seem to see Carl Lewis back in the world! Isn't that what Carl Lewis was like back then, the world champion of sprint and long jump."

"Yes, sprint and long jump were very popular at that time, but after entering the new century, this kind of athlete has become extinct!"

"Carl Lewis, Zhang Guan will become the second Carl Lewis!"

...

When Zhang Guan returned to the athlete preparation area, Li Run, another player of the Chinese team, immediately stepped forward to express his congratulations.

"Zhang Guan, you danced really well, congratulations!" Li Run said.

Li Run also completed three trial jumps, but his best result was 7.70 meters, so he missed the final.

Only Li Run continued to say: "Did you know that when you just completed your last trial jump, some people here said that you are the second Carl-Lewis!"

In Li Run's view, Carl Lewis is one of the greatest track and field athletes in history. Some people compare Zhang Guan to Carl Lewis, which should be his praise and praise.

But Zhang Guan didn't think so.

"Carl Lewis?" Zhang Guan smiled, and continued, "I want to surpass him!"
