Chapter 220: Win two gold medal each day

At 8.70 meters, Zhang Guan once again refreshed the best result of the year, and this result is also the best long jump result in ten years.

"8.7 meters, we won! We won! Zhang Guan! Zhang Guan!" The narrator shouted almost at the same time as Director Sun. After a few seconds, the two gradually calmed down, and the narrator began to say, "It is difficult to imagine! Zhang Guan jumped to the 8.7-meter mark! This is 0.08 meters more than the record at the track and field World Cup more than two months ago! The long jump event reached this level of competition. Every 0.01 meters forward is extremely difficult, and Zhang Guan suddenly improved his score by 0.08 meters! In my impression, it seems that only the world record holder Mike Powell of the long jump event and the legendary flying man Carl Lewis can achieve this result!"

Director Sun is more professional than the narrator, he said, "The last 8.7-meter performance dates back to 1993, which was created by world record holder Mike Powell, and then in 1994 and 1995 the American athlete Wald and the Cuban athlete Pedroso also jumped beyond 9.7 meters, but after that, no athlete can jump to 8.7 meters. It can be said that this is the best result in the eleven-year long jump event."

Director Sun took a deep breath, and then said, "Now we can announce that Zhang Guan won the men's long jump event at the Doha Asian Games! This 8.7-meter result, no one can surpass in this world!"

For Director Sun, this sentence is full of confidence, as if he was stating a fact, and he is indeed stating a fact.

The game was not over yet, but the athletes around came forward one after another to celebrate with Zhang Guan, and the referee also knew the current situation and suspended the game.

The lens gave Ben Mazuk a close-up, and Ben Mazuk, who had just gotten angry, was already in despair.

Despair! Real despair!

8.7 meters, not only is it beyond the scope of Ben Mazuk's ability but also beyond his imagination. Even if Ben Mazuk's coach was world record holder Mike Powell, he never imagined that he could jump to 8.7 meters.

"8.7 meters! I can't surpass it in my life! It turns out that Zhang Guan's strength has been so strong, it seems that Walid is right, maybe in Zhang Guan's eyes, we are all just jumping beam clowns." Ben Mazuk sighed silently.

...

Coach Mike Powell sighed too, knowing that he can no longer get a huge coaching contract for the next two years.

"I didn't expect that since our generation retired, there could still be such a great athlete in the world! The key is that he is only twenty years old this year, far from reaching the golden age of a long jumper, maybe the future Zhang Guan can surpass the peak period! Even if not, at least in the next ten years, he will rule the entire long jump project!" Coach Powell sighed abruptly, he suddenly felt like he could not continue to eat the coach's dinner.

Coaches such as Powell are generally unaffordable, and people are willing to spend money to hire Powell for vocational education. The rich tyrants asked Powell to teach, certainly not for him to get a runner-up, if there is no championship, Powell is equivalent to having no value.

However, the emergence of Zhang Guan made Powell feel that perhaps he would not be able to teach a disciple who could surpass Zhang Guan within ten years. If he had won second place but failed to win the championship, his value as a coach would be infinitely reduced.

"Perhaps I should pause for a while, instead of working as a coach, I can learn from Johnson, and it's good to be a guest commentator!" Powell's mind has already begun to plan for his future.

...

After a few minutes, the game continued and Ben Mazuk played his fifth test jump.

However, Zhang Guan's 8.7-meter score has destroyed Ben Mazuk's confidence. As a result, this time when he tried to jump, he didn't even make the most basic walking movements, and there were many low-level mistakes. The final score was not even seven meters.

The next final round of test jumps became more of a competition where athletes fought for honor. Zhang Guan ranked first, and had a score of 8.7 meters, which is not surpassable; Ben Mazuk, who ranked second, had a score of 8.42 meters. Although this result is not as abnormal as Zhang Guan, at the level of these contestants on the spot it is also difficult to match.

The third-placed Al Shaba scored 8.18 meters. There are probably two or three of the remaining athletes who can reach this distance, but at this time only the last test jump is left, and the possibility of a reversal score is not very likely.

After the top five athletes were adjusted in sequence, the long jump finals in the Asian Games in Doha have been determined, for Zhang Guan, everyone knows he is first, so there is only suspense for the second place between the two Saudi athletes.

Although Al Shaba tried his best in the last jump, he still did not surpass Ben Mazuk. Then Zhang Guan gave up the sixth test jump, and then Ben Mazuk also chose to give up the sixth test jump.

At this time, Ben Mazuk's mentality was already on the verge of collapse. From the fifth trial jump just now, it can be seen that a lot of low-level mistake occurred. Now that Ben Mazuk has no intention of playing, he directly chose to give up.

"Ben Mazuk gave up the game! We congratulate Zhang Guan, this is the first gold medal he won in this Asian Games, and his first gold medal in the Asian Games!" The commentator seemed very calm when Zhang Guan jumped out of the 8.7 meters, the commentator had already vented a lot of excitement, so at this moment, he was just reading off a script.

The commentator went on to say, "But spectators who want to continue to appreciate Zhang Guan game please do not go away. Two hours later, Zhang Guan will participate in the men's 800m preliminaries, and at 11:30, Zhang Guan will also appear in the men's 100m sprint event. I believe Zhang Guan will get another gold medal."

...

The number of participants in the 800-meter middle-distance race is similar to that of the 1500-meter middle-distance race. The personnel composition is also very similar. The average middle-distance runners are both 800m and 1500m, so most of the athletes who participated in the 1500m preliminaries yesterday appeared in the 800m preliminaries today.

The first 100 meters of the 800-meter starting stage will be run in separate lanes, so each game can only accommodate eight athletes. Therefore, the 800-meter preliminaries are one more than the 1500-meter preliminaries, but the competition between athletes is more brutal. The same number of contestants can have twelve promotion places at 1500 meters, while there are only eight promotion places in the 800 meters.

In the third 800m preliminaries, the top two in the group and the top two in the other two will advance to the finals the day after tomorrow, and the grouping of athletes becomes more important. For the strong athletes, it is good to be able to be assigned to the weaker group and get the first two places to advance directly compared to being assigned to the stronger group to fight for a third place, this is an advantage when comparing the results.

Zhang Guan's luck was very good and was divided into a group with weak overall strength, and promotion was not a problem for him.

In the middle- and long-distance running events, Zhang Guan's height and weight become burdensome. He consumes more physical energy than other athletes. Therefore, the longer the distance of the game, the smaller Zhang Guan's advantage is, and vice versa. 800 meters is less than half the distance of 1500 meters. Zhang Guan's physical strength consumption will be less than half under the "following run" situation, which means Zhang Guan's 800 meters strength is stronger than 1500 meters.

However, due to the weaker overall strength of this group of athletes, his speed must be relatively slow. The speed of Zhang Guan's follow-up depends on the speed of the athlete in front. If the former athlete runs slowly, Zhang Guan naturally runs slow, so in the end, although Zhang Guan was the first in the group, his performance was not so impressive.

After an hour's rest, the highlight of today's game, the men's 100-meter sprint battle officially started.

In any track and field event, the 100-meter sprint battle is the main event, but today's 100-meter sprint battle made the audience bored because the level gap between athletes was too large.

Zhang Guan is the world record holder and has run into 9.7 seconds, and the best results of the remaining athletes are only within ten seconds, which has a difference of more than 0.3 seconds! In the men's 100m race, at the last moment of the game, the athlete's speed is the fastest, there will be a gap of more than five meters in 0.3 seconds, such a large gap in the 100m race, it can be said that this game will have no suspense at all.

So Zhang Guan easily won his second Asian Games gold medal. Saudi athlete Habebe won the runner-up in the 100-meter sprint, while the third runner-up was taken away by Japan's Rising Star Tsukahara.

...

On this day, the National Athletics Team won more than one gold medal. The track and field team also won quite a few other events. For example, the women's shot put had the top two and the women's marathon won the gold medal. On this day, nine gold medals were produced on the track and field, and the national team won four of them in one sentence, so on the return bus, the team members were full of happiness and laughter. As the leader of the team, the Deputy Leader Luo is also happy.

"Our record is quite good today, and all the gold medals that we should have won were won by us." Director Ma said.

"Yeah, especially Zhang Guan, he looks good! To be honest, when the Saudi Arabian jumped 8.42 meters, I squeezed sweat for Zhang Guan!" Director Luo said with a smile.

Director Ma lowered his voice and said, "According to the schedule, tomorrow is the 1500m final. What if Zhang Guan wins the championship? What if he wants him to run the middle distance in the future? What should we do if he returned with six gold medals, and now he has already got two, and he is still short of four medals."

"If you didn't say anything I would have forgotten about this thing!" Director Luo nodded silently, "From the state that Zhang Guan showed today, maybe he can win the 1500m championship. Fortunately, who would think that he won too many gold medals!"

"What about running in the middle? Let him continue to participate in the future?" Director Ma asked.

Director Luo spread his hands and said roughly, "You can't ask me about this matter. You have to ask Director Qu. Let him have a headache..."

Chapter 221: Can't win without training

The athletes in Saudi Arabia did not rest up in the Asian Games Village but instead went to rest in a five-star hotel with a beautiful environment and first-class service in Doha City, which fully shows the status of a local country.

Al Bish is a 400-meter sprinter in Saudi Arabia. As an African naturalized athlete, Al Bish quickly established a foothold in Saudi Arabia with his strong physical talent and became a 400-meter project in Saudi Arabia. He was called "One Brother" on the Internet. And Al Bish once ran in the game within 45 seconds, this result is the top in Asia.

"Tomorrow is about to reach the 400m final! It makes me look forward to it. If tomorrow I can win against Zhang Guan, my name will be spread all over the world!" Al Bish thought silently.

Although Al Bish has lived in Saudi Arabia for some years, the optimistic nature of Africans cannot be changed. Even if sometimes the goal is completely out of reach, it does not affect the African brother's vision of a better future.

At this time, the athletes who had finished the game in the Saudi Arabian track and field team returned to the hotel one after another. Al Bish saw coach Mike Powell in the crowd with a glance.

"I went to a spa and didn't go to the game. I remember that there was a long jump competition this afternoon. I don't know how well Al Shaba and Ben Mazuk jumped. Did they beat Zhang Guan?". Of course, coming closer, when seeing Coach Powell's expression, Al Bish realized that the long jump championship might have flown away.

"It seems that I didn't get the long jump champion. Remember that the contract of coach Powell is 3 + 2, and it will expire this year. This time I lost the long jump champion of the Asian Games. Coach Powell may not get the next two years Salary. "Al Bish thought silently.

At this time, Saudi Arabia's two long jumpers Al Shaba and Ben Mazuk also came over. Bish looked up, Al Saba's expression was normal, but Ben Mazuk was dull, and looked like a mentally retarded child.

"What's wrong with him?" Bish decided that he should step forward to care about Mazuk. Both of them are Kenyan and naturalized athletes in Saudi Arabia. They are from two different events so there is no competition. Their relationship is still very good.

Al Bish steps forward and greets Ben Mazuk with a smile, "Hi Ben, how is the game going today?"

Ben Mazuk still had that dull look, without giving Al Bish any response.

"Ben!" Al Bish shot directly at Ben Mazuk's shoulder.

"Ah!" Mazuk screamed suddenly as if he was frightened by something. He slammed backward but accidentally stepped on the foot of one of the athletes behind. Then Mazuk suddenly lost his balance and fell directly to the ground.

"Ben! Be careful!" Al Bish immediately stepped forward to help Mazuk, and then Mazuk recovered.

"Al, it's you!" Mazuk let out a breath and stood up, but his forehead had rolled out beads of sweat.

"What's wrong with him?" Bish looked at Al Shaba next to him for help.

"Let Ben go back to rest first!" Al Shaba said, using his eyes to signal to talk later.

The two walked to the sofa not far away, and wish they hadn't had the time to ask, Al Shaba said, "In today's game, he was originally in the lead, but Zhang Guan jumped out of 8.7 meters, and succeed in overtaking him. I think he is a bit difficult to accept for a while! "

"What? 8.7 meters? Did I hear it right!" Although Bish is a 400-meter sprinter, he also knows what 8.7 meters means in the long jump event.

Al Shaba told Bish about the process of the long jump, and Bish immediately fell into silence.

"8.7 meters, in my memory, none of the active athletes can jump to 8.7 meters! Zhang Guan's condition is so good, then in tomorrow's 400 meters game, can I still beat him? Zhang Guan's best result of the game was originally about 1.5 seconds away. If it is placed before the finish line, it will be a distance of more than ten meters. I originally thought that Zhang Guan would not in a good state in every game, but now it seems that Zhang Guan's status is very good. I am finished! I will lose tomorrow! "

Before the game started, Al Bish's confidence had been destroyed.

...

The track and field competition of the Asian Games in Doha entered the fourth day. On this day, Zhang Guan will participate in the men's 200m preliminaries and rematches, the men's 400m finals, and the men's 1500m finals.

The afternoon time belongs to the prime time for ratings, and the finals are usually scheduled in the afternoon, so the 200m preliminaries are scheduled for the morning.

In addition to Zhang Guan, the strongest runner in the Asian 200m event is undoubtedly the Japanese continuation of Shingo. After all, he can run to nearly 20 seconds. After that, Yang Yao and Gao Pingshi can reach the Olympic A level. Although there are some naturalized athletes in West Asian countries, they do not have an advantage in the 200-meter event.

The result of the preliminaries was not beyond people's expectations. All the athletes who should be promoted were promoted, and there was no upset.

After the lunch break, the Asian Games track and field competition continued. The first event in the afternoon was the men's pole vault final. China chose to win a bronze medal in this event, followed by the women's 100-meter hurdles final. After winning the gold and silver medals, during the men's discus finals and the women's 400m finals, the national team won no medals.

After the women's 400m race, the men's 400m finals immediately began.

Two athletes in Saudi Arabia reached the 400m finals, including Al Bish who has completely lost confidence, in addition to the Japanese Jin Maru Yuan, Bahrain athlete Simpson, Kuwait athlete Al Shamali and others.

Both athletes in Saudi Arabia are African naturalized athletes, Bahraini Simpson is also an African naturalized athlete, Kuwaiti Al Shamali is also an African naturalized athlete, plus the rest of the athlete, our of a total of eight athletes, five of the athletes are African naturalized athletes. There are only three athletes born in Asia.

When it comes to the 400-meter project, black athletes are indeed very advantageous. If Zhang Guan is not there, maybe black athletes will win gold, silver, and bronze medals at the same time. But, the situation is completely different when Zhang Guan comes on stage. There must be no suspense in the gold medal. Other athletes can only work hard to win the silver and bronze medals.

Except for Zhang Guan, no other athlete ran in less than 44.50 seconds. Their best results generally have a gap of more than 1.5 seconds compared to the world record held by Zhang Guan. This can be said to be a difference in strength by several grades. Therefore, Zhang Guan won the championship easily with a score of fewer than 44 seconds. The second-placed Saudi athlete Al Bish and the third-placed Bahrain athlete Simpson all scored within 45.5 seconds.

The men's 400-meter final made many West Asian audiences feel bored. Five West Asian athletes competed, and the all-naturalized corps looked imposing, but the fastest one was also dropped by Zhang Guan. But domestic audiences were also very happy to see Zhang Guan lead the way to win the gold medal, it is exactly what everyone wants.

In the next women's 400-meter hurdles, a Chinese athlete won another gold medal, while the runner-up was a Japanese athlete; in the subsequent men's 400-meter hurdle, the rankings of China and Japan changed places and the Japanese athlete won the championship, and China chose to win a silver medal.

Soon, the time came at 7 pm in Doha time, and the gold medal competition for the last track and field event on this matchday was about to start, which is the men's 1500 meters final.

...

The upcoming men's 1500m finals made Director Ma's mood very complicated at this time.

In the pre-match evaluation made by the Field Management Center, the shorter the distance, the greater the advantage of Zhang Guan, and as the distance becomes longer, the advantage of Zhang Guan gradually decreases, so Zhang Guan is unlikely to win a gold medal in this project.

Before this, Director Ma had negotiated with Zhang Guan. If Zhang Guan could not get all 6 gold medals in the six individual events, he would not be allowed to participate in the middle distance running event. Instead, he would practice sprinting with peace of mind. From this point, Director Ma hopes that Zhang Guan wouldn't be able to get this gold medal, but, as the head coach of the national track and field team, how could he hope that his athletes would lose the game?

Therefore, Director Ma's mind is very contradictory at this time, and he can't tell clearly whether he wants Zhang Guan to win or lose.

Coach Yu seems to have seen the hesitation in Director Ma's mind. He walked quietly and pretended to say something with an exclamation. "The 1500m level of the West Asian athlete should be the world's top, especially Ramz, the champion of the World Championships! And Zhang Guan seems to have not conducted any middle-distance training these days."

"Well?" Director Ma frowned suddenly, carefully pondering the words from the coach.

"What Old Yu said seems quite right. The middle-distance running level of the West Asian countries is indeed the world's top. Recently, Zhang Guan has never practiced middle-distance running. Even the middle-distance running coach assigned to him was dropped by him. It's a complete run with talent! It's not going to be easy to be able to enter the finals. But if he wants to win gold in this project, I'm afraid it is unlikely. There are several opponents in the finals in the World Championships. There are a lot of athletes in the game, plus Ramz, the double champion of the World Championships... " Director Ma thought of this, was relieved, and then shook his head mockingly, "It seems that I was thinking too much, Zhang Guan's expectations are too high. How could Zhang Guan win against Ramz without any training before the game!"
