Chapter 485: Hitting the World Record (6th update)

The surveyor hurriedly stepped onto the sand pool, and then he reported the result of Zhang Guan's fourth trial jump with excitement - 8.92 meters!

"8.92 meters! Zhang Guan jumped 8.92 meters! This is a new Olympic record! The previous Olympic record for men's long jump was 8.90 meters set by American player Beamon in 1968. This was also the world record at that time, this world record It was not broken by Mike Powell until 1991. But for the Olympics, this record has been maintained for 40 years! Forty years ago, on October 18, at the Mexico Olympics, Beamon jumped out of the 8.90-meter The Olympic record was finally broken by Zhang Guan today, and today is also the 18th, this seems to be an inheritance, an inheritance separated by 40 years!" The commentator could hardly hide his excitement, and his voice began to change. gotta tremble.

Whether it was the Bird's Nest scene or in front of the TV, countless audiences began to cheer. Just now, when Saladino jumped 8.86 meters, almost everyone thought that the title of the champion had lost suspense. However, only one minute later, everything They were all reversed. Originally, Saladino overtook Zhang Guan by 0.06 meters, but now Zhang Guan overtook Saladino by 0.06 meters. This roller coaster of changes came too fast, and many people with bad hearts even found Suxiao Jiuxin Pills.

In the ESPN studio, the two commentators fell into a state of confusion again.

One minute ago, they were still praising Saladino's strength, and the 8.86-meter stride could not be surpassed, and one minute later, when Zhang Guan walked out of the sand pool, the two were speechless at the same time. Word.

What about the achievement that no one can surpass in ten years? Why was it surpassed after only one minute? It was agreed that unless a miracle happens, Zhang Guan can overtake it? As a result, a miracle really happened.

After a long time, one of the commentators took a deep breath and said: "8.92 meters, Zhang Guan is now the second only to the world record holder Mike Powell's long jump athlete! I have to say, Zhang Guan is a very An athlete who is good at creating miracles, he has created countless miracles in track and field before that, and today, he has created another miracle!"

Another commentator was also relieved, and he said: "Yes, 8.92 meters, a new Olympic long jump record, and he is only 3 centimeters away from Mike Powell's world record. At the age of 22, maybe one day in the future, he will surpass Mike Powell and set a new world record."

"One day in the future? I don't think so. Maybe Zhang Guan will set a new world record in the next trial jump!"

...

"Zhang Guan! Zhang Guan! Zhang Guan! Zhang Guan..."

The audience at the scene began to shout Zhang Guan's name in unison, as if welcoming the triumphant return of a hero.

Saladino looked at all this in a daze, as if he had fallen from heaven to hell at this moment. He only enjoyed the fruits of victory for a minute. In just one minute, the hopeful Saladino once again fell into a sea of ​​despair.

"8.92 meters? Zhang Guan jumped 8.92 meters? Can I surpass him?" Saladino kept asking himself. At this time, he actually knew that he couldn't jump better than Zhang Guan. In his heart, he is still unwilling to accept failure, nor is he willing to admit failure.

Last time, when Zhang Guan jumped 8.80 meters, he made Saladino feel desperate, but he turned that despair into a driving force to move forward; and this time, he felt even greater despair, which even made him He didn't have the courage to continue to face it.

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted. A last stand can only be used once in a match. The feeling of surviving after the catastrophe is indeed extremely exciting, but when it is discovered that the so-called victory is only the destruction of the enemy's vanguard, there is no capital for the second battle. Therefore, after breaking the boat, there is only one way to fight against the water, and I have never heard of the saying "World War II against the water".

At this time, Saladino has entered the brink of collapse, but as the world's top track and field athlete, his professionalism allows him to continue to persevere, and the desire for victory in his heart supports him to continue. Get on the field.

The competition has entered the fifth trial jump, and the remaining six players have begun to compete for the bronze medal. Whether it is Zhang Guan's 8.92m or Saladino's 8.86m, they are beyond their reach. The gap is too big. After knowing that there is no hope for gold and silver medals, the players unloaded their burdens instead. Therefore, it also has a better performance.

The fifth attempt of the top six players ended again, and Saladino walked onto the field in a daze.

"8.92 meters? How can I surpass him? Am I really unable to defeat him? Am I here to participate in the Olympics just to lose to him again?" Saladino shook his head violently: "No, I won't Will admit defeat!"

Saladino mustered up his courage again, and he wanted to challenge Zhang Guan. However, in the eyes of many people, Saladino's move is undoubtedly a wishful thinking. 8.92 meters, in people's minds, is already an achievement that cannot be surpassed.

In the fourth trial jump, Saladino's mind was blank, but this time, Saladino's mind was full of various distracting thoughts.

I saw Saladino started to run up, the speed was still very fast, he stepped on the springboard with precision, and then jumped high. But the professionals in the arena have already seen that Saladino's trial jump is far worse than his previous attempts.

Saladino fell into the sand pool. The moment his feet touched the sand, Saladino saw from the corner of his eye that the 8.90-meter marking line was still in front of him. He also knew that he did not surpass Zhang Guan in this one.

8.42 meters, this is the result of Saladino's fifth trial jump. In normal times, this is also a great figure, but today, for Saladino, this result is too far behind too far. He walked off the field in a daze, his eyes full of confusion.

"Saladino has already lost. In the past few times, his performance has been continuously improved, but this time he only jumped 8.42 meters, which has exhausted his momentum. Although Saladino still has one more trial jump , but a man who is not as powerful as before has already failed psychologically, and it is impossible for him to achieve better results." Many people have realized this, and this also means that Zhang Guan is about to win his His first long jump Olympic champion, but also his third gold medal in this Olympic Games.

...

"With Saladino's current state, I am afraid that he will not be able to surpass Zhang Guan again. I think Zhang Guan can rest assured now and complete the next two trial jumps safely. 8.92 meters is already a very good jump." With the results, Zhang Guan can choose a more conservative jumping method to save energy and avoid injuries." The ESPN commentator said.

"Yes, if I were Zhang Guan, I would simply give up the next two trial jumps. We all know that Zhang Guan will also participate in other competitions. Timely reservation is also good for the next schedule." This person After a pause, he continued: "However, Zhang Guan obviously didn't listen to our advice. Look, he is on the field again. Is he going to complete his last two jumps?"

Zhang Guan walked onto the field again, and the broadcast camera was also aimed at him, giving him a big close-up of his face.

I saw Zhang Guan stretched out a finger, and seemed to be saying something in his mouth at the same time.

The two commentators of ESPN looked at each other for some confusion, and then one of them said, "Zhang Guan stretched out his finger, obviously indicating that he is number one, but I don't know what he said, it should be a sentence in Chinese Come on! Do you understand Chinese?"

His companion shook his head: "Chinese, I can only say 'Ni Hao', but the shape of Zhang Guan's mouth just now is obviously not 'Ni Hao', I think our Chinese colleagues may have interpreted Zhang Guan's words. talking about something."

Of course, the two foreign commentators of ESPN don't know the mouth shapes in Chinese, but the domestic commentators can understand Zhang Guan's mouth shapes.

"World record! What Zhang Guan said just now is the word 'world record', that's right, I can be sure, judging from the shape of his mouth, what Zhang Guan said is the word 'world record', I understand Now, an Olympic record cannot satisfy Zhang Guan, and Zhang Guan wants to hit the world record in the long jump event!"
