All-round Athlete

Chapter 484: Breaking the Olympic Record (Fifth Watch)

The entire National Stadium was silent. The excitement in the auditorium was swept away at this moment, leaving only countless disappointed faces. Some people even couldn't help covering their faces and quietly shedding sad tears.

And it was not only the audience who wept, but also Saladino, who walked out of the sand pool and covered his face and cried bitterly. No one knows how much Saladino was thinking just now, and no one knows what kind of pressure Saladino was facing just now. At this moment, when Saladino was sure that his score would exceed 8.80 meters, He can no longer hide the complicated feelings in his heart, and he can no longer restrain his emotions at the moment.

Saladino knew that he had succeeded. He not only defeated Zhang Guan, but also defeated himself. He let go of all the pressure at this moment, he swept away all the depression at this moment, he reaped the joy of success, and his hard work in the past two years finally paid off.

After being stunned for a few seconds, the surveyor stepped forward to confirm Saladino's result, and then he reported a result of 8.86 meters.

There was a series of exclamations at the scene, some were surprised by Saladino, and some felt sorry for Zhang Guan.

8.86 meters, has already tied the world's fourth best result created by the former Soviet player Amy Yang in 1988, while Zhang Guan's world's fifth best result was squeezed to the sixth position in a blink of an eye.

CCTV’s commentator didn’t know what to say anymore. In his opinion, Zhang Guan’s 8.80-meter score was enough to stand out from the crowd, but he didn’t expect that Saladino’s extraordinary performance at this moment actually jumped out to a better score. . At this moment, an old saying can't help but arise in his heart: He Shengliang is born in Yu.

However, ESPN's commentators didn't care so much, and they even cheered directly in the studio.

"8.86 meters, my God! Saladino actually jumped out of 8.86 meters. This is the first time I feel incredible today? The exciting level of this game has reached the battle between Powell and Lewis back then, perhaps even worse!" The commentator said.

"As expected of the Olympic Games, it is really exciting. There are no losers in this game. Both Saladino and Zhang Guan have done their best! This game is destined to be remembered. I believe that no matter who wins the final Victory, this game will become an epic existence!" The voice of the guest commentator next to him changed, and he continued: "But at present, it seems that Saladino is better. If there is no Saladino, Zhang Guan has already won The champion. It's a pity that he met Saladino, Saladino is really too strong, he deserves to be the world's number one long jumper!"

"Yeah, 8.86 meters, who would have thought that there are still athletes who can jump 8.86 meters? It's unbelievable, it's unbelievable. I'm now sure that Saladino has won a part of his life." Olympic gold medal, 8.86 meters, perhaps within ten years, no one can surpass this achievement! How can Zhang Guan want to exceed 8.86 meters, unless it is a miracle!"

Indeed, no one can imagine that Saladino can jump such an astonishing result of 8.86 meters. Since Mike Powell and Carl Lewis and other American golden generations have retired, being able to jump 8.50 meters is already a very impressive figure in the world. . This can be seen from the best results over the years. In 2001, the world's best long jump result was 8.41 meters. In 2002, the world's best long jump result was 8.52 meters. In 2003, it was 8.53 meters. The annual uniform is 8.60 meters... These results are far worse than those in the late 1980s and early 1990s. You must know that Mike Powell and Carl Lewis at that time could score 8.70 many times in one game meters or more.

...

Saladino walked out of the sandbox, and the contestants around him congratulated him one after another, while the camera was focused on Zhang Guan.

Zhang Guan did not show the slightest panic. He was still as steady as a mountain, as if he was not surprised by Saladino's 8.86-meter score.

Zhang Guan was not surprised. Saladino's personal best in history was 8.73 meters, but Zhang Guan knew that Saladino's real strength was not only 8.73 meters.

In Zhang Guan's memory, the future Saladino once jumped more than 9 meters, but that time Saladino fouled by stepping on the line by 15 centimeters, and the result was invalid. But if you subtract 15 centimeters from 9 meters, it is exactly 8.85 meters, which is similar to the current result of Saladino's 8.86 meters. Therefore, Zhang Guan just feels a little surprised by Saladino's result, but it is still understandable within range.

After the traces in the sand pool were filled, Zhang Guan stepped onto the run-up area and started his fourth trial jump.

The audience still gave their ear-splitting cheers and cheers, but this time, there was a sense of helplessness and loss in the cheers and cheers. Apparently many viewers thought that Zhang Guan was doomed, and their cheers and cheers were more of a symbolic encouragement to Zhang Guan.

Of course, there are more people expecting that Zhang Guan can jump out better than Saladino. Although they also know that the hope is slim, they are also looking forward to a miracle.

Zhang Guan started his run-up, and the scene immediately became quiet. More than 80,000 pairs of eyes were staring at Zhang Guan at this moment, and in front of the TV, hundreds of millions of viewers were staring at the TV.

"Come on, Zhang Guan!" Some people clenched their fists and muttered silently.

"Come on, Zhang Guan!" Some people gritted their teeth, but they were working hard for Zhang Guan in their hearts.

"Come on, Zhang Guan!" Some people had already closed their eyes, he didn't dare to watch the game anymore, he just prayed silently in his heart.

Zhang Guan rushed to the springboard, then jumped high, flying in the air.

Countless people held their breath, waiting for the moment when Zhang Guan landed.

From take-off, to vacating, to landing, all of this is just a moment. However, many people feel that this moment has become extremely long.

This seemingly long and short moment is over. Zhang Guan fell firmly into the sand pool, and the splashed sand was scattered around. Countless people stretched their necks, wanting to see the end of the trace. What kind of number is marked on the corresponding marking line.

Finally, all the splashed sand fell down, and Zhang Guan got up and left the sand pool. At this time, there was nothing in the sand pool, only the trace left by Zhang Guan appeared in front of everyone.

"Is there a mark of 8.9 meters on the left side of that trace? Did I read it wrong?"

"You read that right, that's the 8.9 meter mark!"

"So Zhang Guan jumped 8.9 meters?"

"That's right, it's 8.9 meters! Zhang Guan overtook it!"

The next moment, the audience began to cheer heartily again.

"8.9 meters, Zhang Guan's jump must have surpassed 8.9 meters, and he surpassed Saladino and ranked first! Although we don't know what Zhang Guan's final score is, there is one thing What is certain is that Zhang Guan has broken the Olympic record in the long jump event!"
