In the evening of the men's 100-meter preliminary sprint, Zhang Guan boarded the stadium in the cheers of the audience, and almost all the camera shots were aimed at him.
After a gunshot, Zhang Guan rushed out, and rushed to the first without suspense, and then crossed the finish line with an increasingly large lead.
The score is 9.97 seconds, a score of fewer than ten seconds as if to tell the audience across the country that he is still in a very good competitive state.
On the rostrum, Director Ma took a deep breath, and the double fists originally held by the tension gradually loosened.
Next to him, Yu said, "From the perspective of Zhang Guan's performance today, his condition is still very good. He has already won the Olympic A standard in the three events of 100 meters, 400 meters, and long jump. It is estimated that there is no problem in reaching the Olympic A standard for the 200-meter sprint event."
Director Ma nodded slightly, and then said, "But Zhang Guan seems to not be running well in the middle distance!"
"Zhang Guan hadn't had much special training for middle-distance running, and his performance in middle distance running was not as dazzling as sprinting, so it's normal to run badly. I think this is a good thing so that he can focus more on the sprint event, so while waiting for the Olympics, maybe he can get three gold medals in the sprinting events." Yu Gui said immediately.
Director Ma smiled. He knew that Yu Gui was a sprint coach, so naturally, he was more inclined to the sprint event. Yu Gui did not support Zhang Guan in middle distance running.
"Let's observe it first!" Director Ma thought for a while and said.
"Look at it?" Yu Gui was a little dissatisfied.
At this time, Yu is in the state of retirement and re-employment, so he does not have the kind of consideration on the job, whether it is talking or daily actions, it must be a lot straightforward.
So Director Ma explained, "Old Yu, the above people are still looking forward to Zhang Guan's participation in the middle distance running event. Although it is difficult to get the Olympic gold medal in the middle distance running, there is still some hope for the Olympic medal. After all, this Olympic Games is held in our territory, even if it is a medal, you have to fight hard."
Yu Gui sighed helplessly, he knew that this kind of thing could not be done by him. An Olympic medal is an honor and money for athletes and coaches, but for officials, it is a further bonus on the career path.
Director Ma's voice changed and then said, "Tomorrow Zhang Guan's task is very heavy. He will participate in the triple jump qualifier in the morning. In the afternoon, there will be a 100-meter semifinal and final, a 1500-meter final, and a 400-meter final. And the final of the long jump. This is a big test for his physical strength. And the qualification of the triple jump is the first time Zhang Guan boarded the triple jump. I don't know how strong his triple jump is ."
"I heard coach Li said that Zhang Guan did a good job in the triple jump, and it should be no problem to reach the Olympic A standard." Yu Gui said casually.
"Just the Olympic A standard is not enough." Director Ma continued, "Our country's triple jump level is the top in Asia, and it is not weak in the world. Now several people have reached the Olympic A standard. If Zhang Guan want to participate in the Olympic triple jump event, he must exceed the Olympic A mark by a lot, maybe then he can be hoped to be selected!"
...
On May 23, the Track and Field Open entered its second competition day. At 10:45 in the morning, the qualifying event for the triple jump event officially began.
The national team is full of talents in the triple jump, and it has always ranked first in Asia. There is more than one person who can reach the Olympic A standard. At present, four athletes have reached the Olympic A standard among active athletes. They are the domestic triple jump "One Brother" and the first person in the Asian triple jump: Li Yanxi who used to compete in the National Triple Jump Challenge last year. Zhong Minwei, who won the championship at 17.27 meters, Gu Junjie, a youth triple jump record holder in Asia, and Wu Bo, a young teenager who has just risen recently. Among them, Gu Junjie's standard-achieving result was 17.11 meters, and Wu Bo just reached the triple jump standard line of 17.10 meters.
In addition to the above four players, there are also four or five athletes among the active players in China who are also capable of impacting the Olympic A standard. Compared with other track and field events, the competition in triple jump events is extremely fierce.
So for Zhang Guan, if he wants to participate in the Olympic triple jump competition, it is not enough to jump out of the Olympic A mark. He also has to make a convincing achievement before he can successfully participate in the Olympic triple jump event.
"Dear spectators, the preliminaries for the men's triple jump event will be held next. I believe everyone has seen Zhang Guan's figure on the field. Yes, this is his first time participating in the triple jump event." The commentator continued "According to the information obtained before the game, Zhang Guan started the triple jump training only this year, but Zhang Guan once won the world championship in the long jump event and is the Asian record holder of the long jump event, which is enough to prove Zhang Guan's talent in the long jump!"
In the athlete preparation area, the players participating in the triple jump are all looking at Zhang Guan with a watchful face, especially the few players who have the hope of reaching the Olympic A standard, and they are somewhat worried.
The competition in the domestic triple jump is already fierce. Now there are still three months before the opening of the Olympic Games. Four athletes have reached the Olympic A standard, and there are only three Olympic participants, so one person is destined to be eliminated, now a long-jump Asian record holder is about to participate in it, which is equivalent to the sudden appearance of a strong enemy. Although Zhang Guan has not participated in the triple jump, the long jump and the triple jump have a lot of interconnection. The achievements of Zhang Guan's long jump project are enough to bring a strong deterrent to this group of triple jumpers.
Today, Zhang Guan is scheduled to play in the middle stage, and the athletes in the first few jumps are still playing well. The results are all around 16 meters. According to the level of the domestic triple jump, the 16-meter mark is already good.
Finally, it was Zhang Guan's turn to play, and it was another highly anticipated moment.
"Zhang Guan started running up! The speed is still very fast!"
Zhang Guan's approach speed surprised many contestants. The faster the approach speed, the greater the kinetic energy during the takeoff. As long as you don't foul during the takeoff, the kinetic energy lost after the jump should not be too outrageous. The distance of this jump will be compared. far.
One-leg jump, stride jump, jump, Zhang Guan's movement did not have any flaws, and then he fell into the bunker smoothly.
"It's over 17 meters!" said a good-looking player.
Everyone immediately looked around, and the edge of the jumping trace did indeed exceed the 17-meter mark.
