Capítulo 171: Qualifiers skip eight meters
Sports reporter Yang Zhongyi came to the site of the pre-match press conference early and then occupied a good position. Soon after, other reporters also came here one after another, and several familiar people also came to say hello to Yang Zhongyi.
There are a few journalists who often run the track and field line in China, and they all know each other. Before the press conference for the game, the reporters got together and chatted.
"Old Yang, Zhang Guan did not participate in the sprint event this time!" Said a young reporter. This reporter, named Sun, is a reporter who specializes in the line of Zhang Guan, and this media is the one that first reported the relationship between Zhang Guan and Sharapova last year.
"I know, Zhang Guan signed up for the long jump." Yang Zhongyi then asked, "Aren't you always following Zhang Guan's line? How is Zhang Guan's long jump practice now, do you know? Tell me first! "
Reporter Xiao Sun shook his head, "How can I know this! The old man at the gate of the Xinzhuang base, you know, he doesn't let you enter, he doesn't want you to go in to interview. You are old Yang, after all, an official reporter of the Tian Association, but I'm just a regular reporter, so you must know some new news!"
"I don't know." Yang Zhongyi spread his hands together, "The national team training is confidential, especially Zhang Guan, the level of confidentiality is the highest, and what I know is similar to you. However, I think that Zhang Guan long jump should be very awesome if the average sprinter jumps a long distance, his results are good. Zhang Guan may be able to jump over the eight-meter mark!"
"Is eight meters far away? I checked it before I came here. The national record for the long jump is 8 meters 40! You see Zhang Guan breaking Asian records in sprinting is just like playing. For the jump long, he has to break the whole country record first!" Xiao Sun said.
Yang Zhongyi shook his head slightly, "It's very difficult. This long jump is different from sprinting. In the case of sprinting, our country's previous strength is quite weak, but in the long jump, our country has always been very strong, at least in Asia. The standard of 8.40m you said is not only a national record but also an Asian record!"
"No, I checked when I came, the Asian record is 8 meters 48!" Xiao Sun said.
"The Asian record for the long jump was just broken last month." Yang Zhongyi thought about it carefully and then said, "I remember it was July 2 that the Asian record was broken by a Saudi athlete. He is also an Asian record holder."
Xiao Sun nodded, then said, "Old Yang, do you think Zhang Guan will go for the Asian Games long jump, will it work? Can he win the championship? He running 100 meters, 200 meters, and 400 meters, plus a long jump, But there are four events in the world, I am afraid there are no athletes who can master these four events at the same time!"
"Why not? Isn't American Marion Jones proficient in these four projects? And they are all world-class. As for the Asian Games..." Yang Zhongyi paused, then said, "Actually, the Asian Games' long jump record ratio is much lower, it seems to be 8.14 meters and it was created by Kazakh Suriman at the last Busan Asian Games. I wondered if Zhang Guan might be able to fight for the long jump gold medal at the Asian Games."
"If you add a sprint, wouldn't that be four gold medals for the Asian Games? If you add the 4x100m race, the other athletes in our country would have a little more strength, it would be five gold medals!" Xiao Sun exclaimed, and then spoke after a turn, he said, "Maybe there are more than five gold medals. This time Zhang Guan also signed up for the 800 meters and 1500 meters. Maybe he can get two more gold medals in the middle run..."
"You can think more about it." Yang Zhongyi said with a smile, "As far as I know, this time the national team did not intend to send people to participate in the 800 meters and 1500 meters of the Asian Games! And the middle and sprint are completely different, the two projects of 400 meters and 800 meters have some similarities. Zhang Guan is the world's first in the 400 meters project. It should be no problem getting a place in the domestic 800 meters race, but 1500 meters is different. To be honest, I don't have high hope for Zhang Guan in the 1500-meter run, I hope he can run an ideal result!"
...
The National Athletics Championships will be contested for four days. The timing of this competition is also different. In the past, the domestic track and field Grand Prix was held in the daytime, and this time the competition was arranged in the afternoon and evening, and the Olympic Games, Asian Games World-class competition conferences are synchronized, which is to simulate the scene of the competition, to cultivate athletes' sense of competition.
On the first day, Zhang Guan will participate in the 800m preliminaries and long jump qualifying matches. In the afternoon, the qualifier for the long jump will be held first, and in the evening, the preliminaries for the 800-meter middle race.
In track and field jumping events, such as the Olympics and other large-scale competitions, there will be more participants, so qualifying competitions are held. If it is a track and field competition with a small number of participants, there is no need to engage in qualifying for the jump event and go directly to the final.
The level of the long jump for domestic athletes is fairly good. There are some excellent long jump athletes in the provinces, so there are many participants in the long jump event. Therefore, the long jump event will be held on the first day. The qualification competition is divided into two groups, each athlete can jump three times, and the two groups of an athlete who accumulate the best results, and the total score ranks is in the top twelve will be able to enter the final.
Zhang Guan was divided into the qualifying group A. There are a total of 18 athletes in this group. The order of appearance is determined by the draw. Zhang Guan draws the eleventh appearance. There are also many well-known athletes in the same group as Zhang Guan, such as Zhang Xin, the 10th National Games champion, and Gu Junjie, who is proficient in the long jump and triple jump.
Since the competition system is the top twelve of the total scores of the two groups of qualified athletes are in the finals, Zhang Guan not only has to compete with the athletes in this group but also faces the challenges of the B group athletes. And Group A play before Group B, under this system, it is a disadvantage.
After the game started, the referee signaled the athletes to prepare, and then let the first athlete try to jump.
For the chance of three trial jumps in qualifying, athletes will often take a more stable jump in the first jump to ensure the success rate and obtain a guaranteed score first.
Perhaps it is to obtain this guaranteed score, or perhaps the level is relatively limited. The first jump of the first athlete only jumped out of 7.25 meters. This result is considered poor in the national track and field team.
The situation of the second athlete was slightly better. He jumped 7.41 meters, and the third and fourth athletes did not jump past 7.5 meters. Until the fifth famous athlete Gu Junjie appeared, he jumped 7.66 meters, which is a good result.
The subsequent athletes were of average strength, and their scores were all around 7.5 meters. Two of them chose to play with some tactics. As a result, there was no score due to foul play.
Although eighteen athletes are participating in this group of qualifying matches, each person can prepare to complete the jump action, which takes a minute, so the speed of the game is still very fast, less than twenty minutes after the start of the game, it was Zhang Guan's turn to play.
"Look at the long jump, Zhang Guan is going to play!"
Everyone's attention was focused on the long jump competition venue, and Zhang Guan was just standing in the running area.
"How far do you think Zhang Guan can jump? Can he jump past 7.5meters?"
"I don't think it's a big problem. 100-meter sprinters can achieve good results in the long jump, and Zhang Guan is the world's first in the 100-meter sprint. Even if the long jump technique is poor, the physical talent is there, he skips past .57 meters with no problem."
"Stop talking, Zhang Guan starting to run!"
"Wow, he runs so fast!"
"He is worthy of being the world's first flying man, this speed!"
Zhang Guan in the running zone started to run, and then increased his speed to the limit in a rhythmic manner, and then aroused the excitement and cheers around him.
Other people can't run at Zhang Run's run speed. There are many people with knowledge in the field. Judging from Zhang Guan's run speed, it can be predicted that Zhang Guan's jump will not be easy. Perhaps it will exceed the 7.66 meters set by Gu Junjie just now.
Zhang Guan approached the springboard, he stepped on the board, his toes were far away from the performance, and then began to jump.
"It's so high! Hey? Is this squatting?" Zhang Guan rose from the sky, the height looked very good, but someone immediately noticed that Zhang Guan used the squatting pose.
"With squatting, it is a beginner!"
The squat is the lowest-tech vacated posture used by beginners, but not many squat methods are used in high-level competitions. Even domestic athletes are mainly striding.
"This posture is pretty ugly."
"Technique is more general, and the sense of rhythm is poor."
"The sense of balance in the air is barely qualified!"
When Zhang Guan's body was still in the air, those professional coaches and long jumpers who watched the battle commented in their hearts.
"Poof..." Zhang Guan fell into the bunker.
In the game, the markings were standing directly next to the bunker. At this time, according to the mark left by Zhang Guan, he has skipped past the eight-meter marking!
"Past the eight-meter line!" Someone exclaimed directly. The vast majority of people turned their attention to the referee at the springboard. They wanted to know whether Zhang Guan's performance in this jump was effective.
The referee raised the white flag and the result is valid!
"Results are valid! He's broken eight meters! Is it broken by eight meters?"
"I feel like it so easy for him to jump! Just a run-up, and then a jump, and he broke eight meters!"
"It's worthy of Zhang Guan, a genius, really a genius! He broke eight meters on the first jump!"
"8.05 meters!" The referee said the final result after the measurement.
The scene was boiling again.
"This is the qualifier. He jumped 8.05 meters. Unfortunately, the qualifier results are not counted in the finals. If it was tomorrow's result, maybe he can win the championship."
"Yeah, the final result of last year's 10th National Games long jump champion seems to be 7.99 meters, which has not yet broken past eight meters!"
"But that's fine, Zhang Guan is definitely in the final."
"Nonsense, 8.05 meters, even in the finals of the Olympic Games, let alone he can win our national track and field championship."
"You said that Zhang Guan will participate in the long jump in the next Olympics?"
"It shouldn't be, 100 meters, 200 meters, 400 meters. If you add another long jump, Zhang Guan would be too busy!"
...
Whether it was athletes, coaches, or spectators, there was a heated discussion.
