Chapter 395: You can pass the A mark in one day
The next day, Zhang Guan officially started training in the triple jump.
After spending several hours, coach Li was constantly correcting the essential actions. Zhang Guan gradually became more familiar with the technical action of the triple jump and was able to complete the entire set of triple jump skillfully.
Of course, this alone is not enough. Triple jump is far more technically demanding than ordinary long jump. The long-jump technique has a greater impact on the final score. Zhang Guan needs more practice before he can become a true A level triple jumper.
After training on the first day, Zhang Guan felt good about himself. He felt that even in the last game, he could get a better result.
In the evening, Zhang Guan sat on the runway and looked at the sunset in the distance.
"It's getting dark, let end practice here today, take a shower, and eat!" Coach Li said as he handed the water bottle to Zhang Guan.
Zhang Guan felt that after a day of training, he didn't even perform a formal test jump, and some of it was too bad, so he said, "Coach, you saw that I have practiced a day's movements, can you let me formally try to jump once?"
"Official test jump? It is still too early! You are just getting started now. You haven't found your sense of the rhythm of the triple jump. There is still a certain distance from the field." Coach Li said with a voice, then said, "But if you want to take a jump, then try it, but you have to protect yourself from being injured."
"Good!" Zhang Guan walked up the run zone, but suddenly remembered something, so he asked aloud, "Coach Li, what is the national record for triple jump now?"
"The national record for the triple jump? 17 meters 34, which was created by Zou Zhenxian in the 1981 World Cup track and field competition, which is now 27 years ago." Coach Li asked with a smile, "Why? Do you want to break the national record?"
Zhang Guan did not answer directly, but then asked, "What is the Asian record for the triple jump?"
"The one I just said, 17.34 meters is also the Asian record for the triple jump!" Coach Li replied.
"Okay, I will work hard for the 17.34 meters!" Zhang Guan thought of this and started running.
"Run-up is as fast as ever!" Coach Li nodded with satisfaction, and at this time, Zhang Guan also ended the run-up and started to take off.
One-leg jumping, step-jumping, jumping, the whole set of movements is completed in one go, and it looks very smooth.
"The movement is very smooth, our one day's efforts are not in vain. Huh? Feel the distance jumped this time, a little far away!" Coach Li suddenly widened his eyes.
Zhang Guan has fallen into the bunker. When Zhang Guan got up, obvious marks appeared in the bunker. Although this is just a driving range, there is no large-scale ruler next to the bunker to intuitively explain the distance, but there are still small signs. At this time, Zhang Guan left the edge of the mark, which surpassed one of the small signs.
"This position is over 17 meters! It's even over 17 meters! I'm right, it's over 17 meters!" Coach Li exclaimed.
17 meters, there is still a lot of distance from the distance of 17.34 meters, but in the triple jump, this is already a very good number. At present, among the active triple jumpers in China, those who can jump 17 meters can be counted with one hand.
"In the triple jump event, the achievement of the international athletes is 16.85 meters! The Olympic A standard seems to be 17.10 meters! I don't have any professional measuring tools here. I don't know if Zhang Guan achieved the Olympic A standard in this jump. Even if you don't get the grades, he should be close!"
Thinking of this, Coach Li had a damn expression, "This is Zhang Guan's first day of practicing the triple-jump! After practicing a day of the triple jump, he can jump 17 meters. If you say it, who would believe it? "
Looking at the traces in the sand pool, Zhang Guan shook his head slightly dissatisfied.
"This is just a little over 17 meters, and it is far from the national record of 17.34 meters!" Zhang Guan said to coach Li, "Coach, I have to try again."
After Zhang Guan finished speaking, he went to the running area.
Zhang Guan then started running, and then took off.
This time, Zhang Guan worked harder than before. He felt that his jump should be farther than the last time.
"Flapping..." Zhang Guan landed in the sand pond with his feet, suddenly shoveling the sand, the fine sand rolled, and it seemed like a huge wave rising under the sunlight, flapping on the ground.
Zhang Guan looked back, this time it was indeed better than the last jump, but still some distance from 17.34 meters.
...
"Zhang Guan jumped very far again!" Coach Li was still immersed in the matter of Zhang Guan skipping 17 meters. The first time he did not react, when he looked up, Zhang Guan had landed.
"Longer than before!" Coach Li whispered, according to coach Li's judgment, Zhang Guan has exceeded 17.10 meters in this jump.
"This jump must have passed 17.10 meters and reached the Olympic A standard! No one else can reach the Olympic A standard in his lifetime. Zhang Guan can jump out of the Olympic A standard in one day of training. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, how could I believe it!" Coach Li was shocked by Zhang Guan again.
Zhang Guan is still not satisfied with his jump.
"I have tried my best to jump, but it is still far from the national record. This national record is also an Asian record. It has not been broken in 27 years. It seems to be a very difficult record. I don't know much worse is the record."
Thinking of this, Zhang Guan asked, "Coach, what is the world record for triple jump?"
"A world record?" Coach Li said immediately, "The world record for the triple jump is 18.29 meters created by Jon Edwards, a British athlete and known as the Bird of the Century. Edwards jumped out of this result in 1995, it was 13 years ago!"
"18.29 meters? So much ahead of the Asian record! This is almost one meter away!" Zhang Guan took a breath, he thought that the national record of 17.34 meters should be closer to the world record, it has been 27 years and no one broke it but he did not expect the world record to be a godly achievement.
"It seems that my current level of triple jump is still far away, and I need to train more seriously in the future!" Zhang Guan took a deep breath, "It's a long way to go!"
...
Recognizing his shortcomings, in the next few days, Zhang Guan began to train seriously, his movements were more proficient and smoother, he began to slowly find his own triple jump sense of rhythm.
Training is to repeat and repeat. This seemingly infinite repetition is actually the most boring. At the same time, for the athletes, this boring repetition can also make them forget time, make their lives extremely fulfilling, and make them unaware. They can unconsciously spend every day doing it.
Time passed quickly and soon came to the end of February.
There were 29 days in February 2008, and it was on this day on February 29 that the Basketball Association announced the upcoming training list for the men's basketball team, with a total of 18 players participating.
Zhang Guan's name had the most attention!
