Chapter 179 Regaining the Asian Record (Last day for votes)

The audience was shocked!

8.42 meters, a new national record!

The national record in the long jump is still 8.40 meters set in the 1997 National Track and Field Championships. Although the long jump level of domestic athletes has always been very good, this national record has been maintained for nine years, and it was not broken by Zhang Guan until today.

Zhang Guan is the strongest sprinter in the world. After all, he has extraordinary physical talent and a high level of long jump, which is also expected by many people, but no one thought that Zhang Guan could break the national record of long jump.

The previous national record of 8.40 meters was also an Asian record at that time. This result was also considered a top result in the world. Taking the Athens Olympic Games as the standard, the champion at that time had a score of 8.59 meters and the runner-up. It is 8.47 meters, and the third runner-up's result is 8.32 meters, which means that the national record of 8.40 meters can get a third runner-up even in the Athens Olympics.

The Athens Olympics is an Olympic Games with a relatively high level of long jump in recent years. In the 2008 Olympics, the 8.40-meter race was enough to win the gold medal, because the long jump score of the champion Saladino at that time was only 8.34 rice.

The Asian record of 10 seconds in the 100-meter sprint may not even make it to the Olympic finals, but a national record in the long jump can win an Olympic medal. So from this perspective, the national record for the long jump has a higher gold content than the national record for the 100-meter sprint.

Of course, this result is far from the world record. The world record in the long jump is similar to the world record in the 400-meter sprint, both of which are extremely abnormal results. The world record of 8.95 meters set by American Mike Powell in 1991 is also considered to be impossible within fifty years. Break, so the world record in the long jump cannot be measured according to conventional standards.

...

"Zhang Guan has broken the national record! He actually broke the national record for long jump!" Coach Zhou felt like a galloping horse. Next, Coach Zhou shouted excitedly, together with other coaches and athletes of the provincial team, also Cheer and celebrate together.

On the rostrum, the corners of Director Ma’s mouth almost reached his earlobe. As a long jump coach, Director Ma naturally has a special feeling for long jump. In the 1980s, he was still the coach of the national team. His disciple He once broke the national record, and today, the most proud disciple in his life broke the national record again.

For Director Ma, this is a surprise, a big surprise!

Director Yu next to him was full of infinite emotions as if all kinds of condiment bottles had been broken.

"It's only been three months since Zhang Guan started long jump training!" Director Yu muttered quietly.

Director Ma usually sits in the capital, but Director Yu is always by Zhang Guan's side. He has an incomparable understanding of Zhang Guan's training arrangements. It has only been three months since Zhang Guan officially started long jump training, and in the usual training time, the long jump event actually only occupies one-third of the training time. When Guan went abroad to compete, Zhang Guan spent very little training time on the long jump event.

But even so, Zhang Guan still broke the national record in the long jump event within three months. Director Yu knew that if this news was released, it would definitely cause a sensation in the entire track and field world.

This trial jump contest was too dramatic. Originally, Zhang Guan's 8.12-meter result seemed to have secured the championship, but Zhou Can's 8.14-meter result told everyone that the championship was just now At the beginning, Li Dalong immediately raised his score to 8.17 meters, which made the competition more intense, and Li Run's score of 8.20 meters seemed to declare that he was the champion.

The three athletes performed three trial jumps, and Zhang Guan changed from the first place to the fourth place. Just as everyone was guessing what Zhang Guan would do next, Zhang Guan responded directly with a new national record!

Standing in the athlete preparation area, Li Run kept looking at the scores on the scoreboard, his face full of helplessness.

"National record! A new national record!" In Li Run's mind, the new national record of 8.42 meters kept rolling, and Li Run also knew that with his achievements, it was impossible to achieve this level. Even in training, he has never jumped out of this result.

"Come on! Maybe you can do it in the future!" Zhou Can's voice sounded from behind Li Run. Li Run turned around and found a smile on Zhou Can's face, and this smile gave people such a bitter feeling .

Zhou Can went on to say: "I am not young anymore, and now I am at the limit of my body. I guess I can't touch better results, but you are still young, you are only 23 years old this year, and you still have a lot of progress. space!"

"Brother Zhou, don't laugh at me, Zhang Guan is only 20 years old, and he broke the national record..." Li Run said.

Zhou Can interrupted Li Run: "Don't compare with Zhang Guan! How can we compare with him when many foreigners with perverted bodies can't compare with him? This kid is a genius, a monster! So don't think about surpassing Zhang Guan, let's do it. Just be yourself and give your best in the game.”

...

The rhythm of long jump athletes is very fast. It takes more than a minute for an athlete to complete the jump from preparation to completion. Basically, the former athlete leaves the competition field, and the latter athlete has already stood in the run-up area.

However, the birth of a new national record obviously affected the rhythm of the entire long jump competition. The long jump competition was suspended for nearly ten minutes before continuing.

Now there are only four jumps, and there are two final jumps to come. Although the long jump champion is a foregone conclusion, the contest between the second and third places is still not over.

In the fifth round of trial jumps, the athletes who were originally aiming to win the championship also knew that there was no hope of winning the championship. Instead, they relaxed. As a result, the jump results were quite good. Among them, Zhou Can also jumped with a good result of 8.20 meters .

In the rules of the long jump competition, if the best results of two athletes are the same, the second best results will be compared. Both Zhou Can and Li Run jumped out with a time of 8.20 seconds, but Zhou Can's second best time was higher, so Zhou Can is currently the player most likely to win the silver medal.

After the first seven contestants came out one by one, Zhang Guan started his fifth trial jump.

When the champion has already been won, many players will choose to give up the game, especially some old players with old injuries, they will even choose to take a symbolic jump. Of course, there are also players who will challenge the limit of the results without any worries.

Zhang Guan stood in the run-up area, moved his body a little, and got ready for the competition.

Throughout the arena, all eyes were on Zhang Guan, and the picture on the big screen was converted to Zhang Guan's game. No one knew what choice Zhang Guan would make next, whether to give up the game, or to go further. Distance poses a challenge.

"Brother Zhou, do you think Zhang Guan will give up the next two jumps like in the qualifying round? He has an 800-meter final tonight, so he should choose to save his energy now!" Li Run asked Zhou beside him. Can.

Zhou Can shook his head: "Of course not, I guess Zhang Guan will continue to challenge new distances! He is a world champion in sprinting, and those who can become world champions have the heart of a champion. None of them will Give up lightly!"

As soon as Zhou Can finished speaking, Zhang Guan had already started running.

Director Ma leaned forward, stretched his neck vigorously, and looked at Zhang Guan who was running up.

"Didn't give up the game, Zhang Guan is going to fight!" Director Ma said.

Director Ma's judgment was based on Zhang Guan's run-up speed. In this test jump, Zhang Guan's run-up speed was still the same as before, reaching the limit.

If you want to achieve better results in the long jump competition, the faster the run-up speed is, the better. If Zhang Guan is going to give up the competition, a symbolic jump is enough. There is no need to use the limit speed to start the run-up.

When Director Ma finished his sentence, Zhang Guan had already completed the jump, and his body drew a perfect trajectory in the air, soaring in the air like a giant eagle soaring.

With his legs back and ready to land, Zhang Guan has already crossed the eight-meter line. Although Zhang Guan has not landed yet, professionals guess that Zhang Guan's jump must be very good.

The referee's white flag was raised, and Zhang Guan fell to the ground at the same time, and then took advantage of the momentum to stand up.

"Zhang Guan surpassed 8.40 meters again! It seems to be farther than before!"

"No, it's already 8 meters and 50!"

In the fourth jump just now, Zhang Guan surpassed 8.40 meters, but judging from the traces of the jumping pit, it was only slightly exceeded, and this time the jumping pit had already reached the 8.50 mark. So Zhang Guan's jump must be farther than the previous jump. As for whether the final score of 8.50 meters can be reached, it depends on the final measurement results.

"It's farther than last time, this seems to be another national record!"

"It's amazing to break the national record twice in one day!"

"Not in one day, but two consecutive jump attempts, breaking the national record twice..."

The surveyor stepped forward to the sand pool and carefully measured Zhang Guan's final result. This must be another national record-breaking result, so he was extremely careful at this time, not daring to make any mistakes.

The surveyor's face changed instantly. Obviously, he had measured Zhang Guan's result, and this result was enough to surprise him.

The surveyor took a deep breath and shouted out Zhang Guan's final result under everyone's expectant eyes.

"8 meters 49!"

The next moment, Shuai Xian burst into applause and bursts of applause in the coach area and the athlete area.

on the rostrum.

"Old Yu, pinch me!" Director Ma said.

Director Yu really pinched Director Ma's arm, and then asked, "Does it hurt?"

Director Ma nodded seriously: "It hurts! It's true."

"8 meters 49! This is a new Asian record! The Asian record in the long jump, we have regained it!"
