Kapitel 198: Formal open jump
At the starting line, they introduced athletes who participated in the 400-meter event. When the camera lens was aimed at Zhang Guan, Zhang Guan had to smile and wave at the camera, but the smile felt extremely bitter.
"This shitty schedule! My second test jump is gone!" Zhang Guan watched as Saladino completed the second test jump, raising the best result to 8.21 meters.
It was the eleventh turn, which was Zhang Guan's appearance in sequence. The long jump referee once again announced that Zhang Guan could try to jump in the last appearance, but at this time the race still did not start. LaShawn Merritt, an American athlete who played for Warina, said that his laces were not fastened, so he had to re-tie them.
In the long jump, the native Greek athlete Tsathomas stood in the run zone for the second time. Since he was at home he immediately drew cheers from the audience, but the cheers were so harsh in Zhang Guan's ears. Because after Tsathomas's test jump, it will be his turn again. His turn was still delayed by the referee to the final order, but Zhang Guan still missed it.
At this time, even the commentators in the studio began to complain, "The fear of this schedule is quite unreasonable, at least for Zhang Guan. He needs to participate in three events within half an hour, which is very difficult to complete. And this is Zhang Guan's first time participating in a long jump competition. If there is no chance to even try to jump, it's a pity, I think it's very unfair to Zhang Guan!"
The host smiled embarrassedly and explained, "In fact, the schedule was arranged very early. The organizer did not get the final list of participants at the time. We all know that the track and field World Cup is in the form of alliances on all continents. When participating in competitions, it is often the case that athletes replace each other, and some alliances even determine the final list of entries even after coming to Athens, so the organizer can't change the schedule. And I think that in this world except for Zhang Guan, no one will participate in four events at the same time."
While the host made excuses for the organizers, the gunshots of the men's 400m race also sounded.
Varina did not participate, and Zhang Guan lost his biggest competitor, so this 400-meter contest also lost suspense. Zhang Guan was able to run within 43.20 seconds, and the best results of other contestants were all within 44 seconds. This is a contest between two different levels.
In the game, although the young rookie LaShawn Merritt played a very good level, it was still impossible to block Zhang Guan's footsteps to get the first place, but being able to get the second place for Merritt was a good achievement.
Zhang Guan easily won the gold medal of 400 meters with a result of 43.97 seconds. Just like the previous 100 meters game, this championship has no suspense.
"Let me see, the first place in the men's project is the Asian United. They currently have won a total of three gold medals, especially Zhang Guan's two gold medals. The help of the Asian team is too great." He went on to say, "In the 100-meter sprint, Powell did not participate, and in the 400-meter sprint, Varina did not participate. Zhang Guan completely lost his opponent in these two events, and winning the championship was also an expected thing. In just 20 minutes, Zhang Guan completed the two events. I don't know if he still has the physical strength left to complete the third test jump-off in the long jump event!"
The guest immediately said through the interface, "I think with Zhang Guan's physical reserve, he will certainly be able to complete his third test jump. Only one test jump requires much less physical strength, and now the third test jump has just begun, I think Zhang Guan should have eight or nine minutes to rest and adjust, which is enough for a test jump."
As the two discussed the long jump event, the broadcaster also aimed the camera at the long jump field, and the athlete's third test jump had already begun.
After this jump, the top eight athletes with the best results will remain on the field and complete the next three test jumps, while the other athletes will be eliminated. At this time, for those athletes who have been able to enter the top eight more steadily, they can already try to sprint towards the best results, and those athletes who have not yet reached the top eight will have to be desperate in this jump.
The best score of the Saudi athlete Walid is 8.03 meters. According to the performance of the athletes so far, there is a chance of more than 90% that this score is enough to make him stand in the top eight.
"This result is not a result of 100% insurance. I want to improve some more!" Walid's expression was very serious at this time. He bowed slightly and then started running.
Not far away, Mike Powell, the world record holder of the long jump, showed a satisfied smile on his face. As a coach of Walid, he could feel that Walidi's run-up was very good. If he takes off normally, he should be able to get a good result.
Walid also did not disappoint coach Powell. His test jump jumped to 8.29 meters, and he was close to 8.3 meters indefinitely. This is a very good result.
Walid walked down with satisfaction. This very good result is the best so far in the field. Not only that he can ensure that he can smoothly enter the top eight even if other athletes play better, but Walid can also get a medal with this result.
The next athlete was Cuban athlete Iprasi Camejo. This time he did not protest the wind speed problem to the coach. Instead, he adjusted the game slightly and started to run quickly. This time, the goddess of fortune stood on the side of Camejo, he jumped out a good score of 8.20 meters in one fell swoop.
"8.20 meters! There is a result of more than 8.20 meters! Although this is only the third test jump, there are still many athletes who will have to work hard to be able to enter the top eight, but I have smelled the championship battle. I want to see the long jump. The championship game doesn't have to be delayed until the last three jumps, it can start now!" The commentator said fervently.
The South African athlete Mokuna of the African United team came on stage. He also jumped a good score of 8.20 meters, and Spanish Melis was fouled in this jump, but he scored more than 8 meters in the first two jumps. There are many chances to enter the top eight.
Soon, Saladino, the biggest champion in the long jump competition, also made his third test jump.
In the previous second test jump, Saradino's 8.21m score was surpassed by Walid, and it was exceeded 0.08m. This is not a small gap, but Saladino did not panic. In the first two test jumps, he did not exert his full strength, and his best score could reach 8.7 meters, so Walid's 8.29 meters score made Saladino feel no pressure at all.
Saladino approached, took off, vacated, and landed, all in one go, but everyone noticed that this time Saladino used the most basic squatting volley.
Saladino's long jump technique can be regarded as the world's first level. He is proficient in various flying positions, and he is also accustomed to choosing a jumping position based on the situation of the run. For example, this time, he chose the squatting take-off method.
Although it is the most basic flight, Saladino's performance is very good. From the traces left in the bunker, he jumped the 8.3-meter mark.
"8.33 meters!" The surveyor reported Saladino's third test jump.
"Oh, it's true that it is Saladino! He scored 8.33 meters in the third test jump! Saladino continued his good state in the IAAF Golden League, I think this result is enough to let him get a medal, even a gold medal!" The narrator began to praise Saladino in various ways.
Saladino has achieved five victories in this year's Golden League, so he is still very famous in Europe, especially the 8.33-meter result, which attracted warm cheers from the audience.
The strength of the next athlete to play is more general, perhaps due to the atmosphere of the scene, he did not make good results, the third test jump score was only 7.78 meters. He quickly completed his third test jump, then shook his head and left the field. He was not satisfied with his performance. According to his previous three test jump results, it was impossible to enter the top eight.
"Next, it's Zhang Guan's turn for his third test jump!" The commentator paused for two seconds and then said, "Maybe I should describe it in more detail. The following is Zhang Guan's first jump in the track and field World Cup which is also Zhang Guan's first jump in an international competition! But this jump is the third test jump in this game."
"Due to the conflict in the competition time, Zhang Guan gave up the first two test jumps. We don't know his strength in the long jump event. However, in the history of track and field, there are too many 100-meter sprinters with long-jump experience, athletes who can break the 100-meter sprint world record, often have good strength in long jump events!"
"Zhang Guan has participated in two competitions now, and we don't know how his physical reserve is right now. But without the adjustment of the previous two test jumps, Zhang Guan is likely to find it difficult to enter the state immediately! According to the results of the athletes, the eighth-place athlete has a score of 7.98 meters. I think Zhang Guan needs to jump to at least 7.99 meters to ensure that he can enter the top eight! If Zhang Guan also jumps out of 7.98 meters, the comparison will be by the rules., it will be judged by the second-best result, but Zhang Guan gave up in the first two test jumps, that is, no results were achieved, so compared with the second-best result, Zhang Guan will lose!"
"Oh, Zhang Guan is ready to run up, he is about to start this test jump, let us wish him good luck again!"
The voice of the narrator has just fallen, Zhang Guan has already started to run up and started his first show in the long jump world!
