Chapter 255: Far ahead of the results

At 20:20 p.m. on August 20, 2008, the men's three-level long jump final of the Beiping Olympic Games officially started.

Among the 12 competitors, apart from Zhang Huasong, the more competitive ones are Portugal's Ferson Edla, who defeated Zhang Huasong at the Valencia World Indoor Championships, and Phillips Edu of the United States.

In the third 'level long jump final of the World Indoor Championships, Fersun-Edra and Phillips Edu won the championship and second place respectively, and Zhang Huasong only finished third.

However, judging from Zhang Huasong's previous performance, no one thinks that Zhang Huasong's strength is still at 17.71 meters when he participated in the Indoor World Championships.

Just looking at Zhang Huasong's easy jump of 17.65 meters in one attempt in the qualifying round, it can be seen that Zhang Huasong's strength is definitely far beyond his previous personal best.

It's just that it is still unknown whether it can break the world record!

In front of the hundreds of millions of viewers around the world who watched the live and live broadcasts, the competition officially began!

Because of the qualifying results, Zhang Huasong was once again placed in the final finale, while Portugal's Ferson Edera, who won the Valencia Indoor World Championships, was in first place.

This position was very bad for Felson Edla, because after he skipped the final round, he could only watch others perform, and he did not even have a chance to overtake.

However, it is the strength that determines the final ranking, not the ranking!

So, Edra was not discouraged!

Although everyone is talking about whether Zhang Huasong can break the record, as if the gold medal has been confirmed to be Zhang Huasong, Edra will not give up.

After all, he defeated Zhang Huasong at the World Championships in Valencia to win the championship! Even if he doesn't qualify, he has to play hard and fight for the championship!

At 20:20, after the referee signaled that Edra could play, Edra walked to the starting line, stepped back step by step, and measured the number of steps according to his running speed and stride.

After retreating more than 50 meters, Edra stopped.

Then, with the crowd watching, Edra began to run.

If he wants to win the title with the world favoring Zhang, he will have to cherish every opportunity of the six attempts.

So, Edra gave her all on her first attempt.

I saw him run faster and faster, almost with the astonishing speed of a sprinter of 100 meters and 10 seconds, he rushed to the starting area and began to jump.

After taking two steps in a row, in the third step, Edra used all her strength, leaped forward, and landed heavily in the bunker.

When the referee measured Edera's first jump, the audience burst into applause, and Edra also waved his fist excitedly in celebration.

Many of the Portuguese spectators who came to cheer him on were screaming with excitement and shouting his name loudly.

Because, Edra actually jumped 17.86 meters in the first jump.

This is already surpassing the 17.79m he won at the last Athens Olympics and the 17.82m he won at the World Indoor Championships in Valencia.

If it weren't for the presence of Zhang Huasong, this result would be very competitive in any international competition, and the chances of winning the championship are very high.

However, Zhang Huasong was present in this game, although this result was very strong, but it was too early to say that he won the championship, no matter what, he had to wait for Zhang Huasong to try to jump after the first round!

But, no matter what, Edla's achievement still deserves applause from all the audience!

Edra jumped so far as soon as he came up, putting a lot of pressure on the second competitor.

Maybe he wanted to jump too far, but the second player stepped on the line and committed a foul, and the result was invalid.

Valencia World Indoor Championships runner-up Phillips Edu of the United States came in fifth.

After seeing Edra jump 17.86 meters, Phillips Edu felt that the gold medal was nothing to do with him!

Not to mention that Zhang Huasong hasn't started jumping yet, just the result of Edra jumping out has far exceeded Edu's personal best, which is very difficult for him to achieve!

However, now that they are all in the final of the Olympic Games, Phillips Edu will definitely not surrender. If you can't win the championship, you have to go home with a medal!

Among the finalists, there are still many other strong players. Therefore, to win a medal, Phillips Edu still has to play seriously.

So, like Edla, Phillips Edu gave his all on his first attempt.

As a result, he jumped a 17.72 meters, which is quite good!

Next, when it came to 10th place, it was the turn of another Chinese athlete who jumped 17.30 meters in the qualifying round, Li Yanxi.

In the cheers of the audience, Li Yanxi played well, jumping 17.32 meters in the first jump, surpassing his own qualifying results, and is currently ranked 4th, a good ranking, and the Chinese audience in the stands also gave warm applause.

Then, the 11th player did not even jump over the 17-meter mark.

After the 11th player skipped over, it was time for Zhang Huasong to play.

Prior to the competition, Zhang Huasong had upgraded his three-level long jump skills from 17.8 meters to 18.4 meters, which can break the world record of 18.29 meters.

However, this is the final, and like the previous long jump and high jump finals, Zhang Huasong still chose to be cautious in the first jump, not too close to the starting line, to avoid stepping on the line and fouling.

In any case, you have to have a valid result first, and basically lock in the championship. Then, it's never too late to try to break the world record!

So, in the process of running, Zhang Huasong put too much energy into the position of the starting line, and then started the first step at a distance of about six or seven centimeters from the starting line.

Even if he chose such a cautious start and did not give full play to the full strength of his skills, Zhang Huasong's 18.4-meter skill and jump out of the jump still surprised everyone.

Zhang Huasong's first jump measured by the referee was 18.21 meters, far exceeding the 18-meter mark, and it was only 8 centimeters away from the world record!

The on-site commentator happily commented: "Zhang Huasong's three-level long jump jumped 18.21 meters in the first attempt, 35 centimeters ahead of the second-place Edla. In the World Series, this gap can be said to be a trench, and it is difficult for Edra to catch up, and Zhang Huasong almost locked the championship with the first jump. Moreover, Zhang Huasong's score of 18.21 meters is only 8 centimeters away from the world record of 18.29 meters. is worthy of a genius who writes such domineering verses as a glance at the mountains, let's look forward to Zhang Huasong's next competition, I believe he will definitely break the world record! ”
