Almighty Athlete Chapter 80: Qualifying skips 8 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 came here one after another, and a few familiar people also came forward. Say hello to Yang Zhongyi.
There are only a few journalists who often run the track and field line in China, and they all know each other. Before the press conference before the game, the reporters just got together and chatted.
"Old Yang, Zhang Guan did not participate in the sprint competition this time!" said a young reporter. The surnamed Sun is a reporter who specializes in the Zhang Guan line. This media is the one that first reported the love affair 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 the Zhang Guan line? How is Zhang Guan's long jump practice now, do you know? Let me disclose it first!" "
Reporter Xiaosun shook his head: "How can I know this! The old man at the gate of the Xinzhuang base also knows that you don’t have oil or salt, and you don’t want to go in for interviews. You are old Yang, after all, it’s Tian Xie The official reporter, but the regular army, 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. I know it is similar to yours. But I think that Zhang Guan long jump should be Very powerful, the average sprinter has a good performance if he jumps a long distance. Zhang Guan may be able to jump the eight-meter mark!"
"Is the eight meters far away? I checked it before I came. The national record of the long jump event is 8 meters 40! You see that Zhang Guan breaks the Asian record in the sprint event like playing, how to break the long jump. A national record!" Xiao Sun said.
Yang Zhongyi shook his head slightly: "It's difficult. This long jump is not the same as sprinting. In the case of sprinting, our country's previous strength is very weak, but in the long jump, our country has always been very strong, at least in Asia is the top level! The 8m40 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 it was a Saudi player who broke the Asian record. The previous He is also the holder of the Asian record for the long jump."
Little Sun nodded, then said: "Lao Yang, do you think Zhang Guan will go to the Asian Games long jump, will it work? Can you win the championship? This runs 100 meters, 200 meters and 400 meters, plus 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, is 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 The long jump record is much lower than the Asian record. It seems to be 8 meters 14 and it was created by Kazakh Suriman at the last Busan Asian Games. I wondered, Zhang Guan might be able to fight a long jump gold medal at the Asian Games."
"If you add a sprint, wouldn't that be the four Asian Games gold medals? If the 4x100m race, the other players in our country would give a little more power. It was five gold medals!" Xiao Sun wowed. Then, the voice changed and then said: "Maybe there are more than five gold medals. This time Zhang Guan also signed up for the 800m and 1500m competitions. Maybe he can get two more gold medals in the middle..."
"You think too much about it." Yang Zhongyi said with a smile: "As far as I know, the national team did not intend to send people to participate in the 800 meters and 1500 meters of the Asian Games this time! Sprinting is completely different. The two events 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 to get a place in the domestic 800 meters race, but 1500 Mi Ke is different, to be honest. I really don’t like Zhang Guan at 1500 meters, I hope he can run an ideal result!"
......
The National Athletics Championships are contested for four days, and 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 scheduled in the afternoon and evening. It was synchronized with the world-class competitions such as the Olympic Games and Asian Games. .
On the first day, Zhang Guan will participate in the 800m preliminaries and long jump qualifiers. In the afternoon, the first qualifying match to be held is the long jump. In the evening, it is the preliminaries of 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 long jump level of domestic athletes is fairly good. There are some excellent long jump athletes in each province, so there are also many participants in the long jump event. Therefore, the long jump event will be held on the first day. Each athlete can jump three times, and the two groups of athletes accumulate the best scores, and the total score ranks among the top twelve in the finals.
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 players in the same group as Zhang Guan, such as Zhang Xin, the 10th National Games champion, and Gu Junjie, who is proficient in long jump and triple jump.
Because the format is the top twelve of the total score of the two groups of qualified players in the qualifying competition, the Zhang Guan not only needs to compete with the players in this group, but also faces the challenges of the group B players. And Group A played before Group B, under this system is obviously a disadvantage.
After the game started, the referee signaled the athletes to prepare, and then let the first athlete try to jump.
The chance of three trial jumps in the qualifying competition. Athletes often take a more stable jump in the first jump to ensure the success rate and first obtain a guaranteed score.
Perhaps to achieve this guaranteed score, or perhaps the level is relatively limited. The first jump of the first athlete only jumped 7.25 meters. This result is placed at the level of the National Athletics Championships. It's a bad game.
The situation of the second athlete was slightly better. He jumped 7.41 meters, and the third and fourth athletes did not skip the 7.5 meters. Until the fifth famous player Gu Junjie appeared, he jumped 7.66 meters, which is a good result.
The strength of the next few athletes is average. The scores are also around 7.5 meters, and two of them choose some unrestrained tactics. As a result, there is no score due to fouls.
Although there are eighteen athletes competing in this group of qualifying matches, everyone is ready to complete the jump. The actual time spent is only one minute, so 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 is focused on the long jump venue. At this time, Zhang Guan has just stepped onto the run zone.
"How far do you say Zhang Guan can jump? Can it jump 7 meters 5?"
"I don’t think it’s a problem. 100-meter sprinters can achieve good results in long jump, and Zhang Guan is the world’s first in 100-meter sprint. Even if the long jump technique is poor, but the physical talent is there 7m5 is still no problem."
"Don't talk, Zhang Guan started running!"
"Wow, run fast!"
"It is worthy of being the world's first flying man, this speed!"
The Zhang Guan in the running zone starts to run, and then increases the speed to the limit in a rhythmic manner. Then there was exclamation and cheering around.
The same athletes, others can’t do this kind of running speed of Zhang Guan. There are many people with knowledge in the field. Judging from the running speed of Zhang Guan alone, it can be predicted that the jump of Zhang Guan will not be easy. It will exceed the 7.66 meters of 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.
"So high! Hey? Is this a squat?" Zhang Guan rose into the air, and the height looked very good. But someone immediately noticed that Zhang Guan was still in a squatting position.
"With squatting, it is really a beginner!"
The squat squat is the lowest-tech vacated posture used by beginners, but not many squat squats are used in high-level competitions. Even domestic athletes are mainly striding.
"This posture is pretty ugly."
"Technology is more general, and the sense of rhythm is poor."
"A sense of balance in the air is barely qualified!"
When Zhang Guan 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.
During the competition, the bunkers are directly lined up next to the bunker, at this time according to the mark left by Zhang Guan. He has skipped the eight-meter marking!
"Over 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 the score of Zhang Guan was effective.
The referee raised the white flag and the result is valid!
"Results are valid! It's broken eight meters! Is it broken eight meters?"
"I feel that he jumps so easily! Just one run, just jump, it broke eight meters!"
"It is Zhang Guan, genius, really genius! It 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, so it jumped to 8.05 meters. Unfortunately, the qualifier results will not be counted in the finals. If this result is tomorrow, it may be possible to win the championship."
"Yes, last year's 10th National Games long jump champion's final result seems to be 7.99 meters, not yet broken eight meters!"
"But that's fine, Zhang Guan is definitely in the final."
"Nonsense~IndoMTL.com~ meters, even the finals of the Olympic Games can be entered, let alone our national track and field championships."
"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 is probably too busy to come!"
......
Whether athletes, coaches or spectators started to discuss, they all started a heated discussion. (To be continued.)
