Chapter 154: Challenging the Failed Game (Adding More to "Fragrance and Merry 4")
On January 30, 2008, the National Indoor Track and Field Championships in China officially began. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhang Huasong participated in the high jump in the morning, the pole vault in the afternoon, and the 400m on the 31st.
Before the start of the high jump competition, a reporter interviewed Zhang Huasong and asked Zhang Huasong whether the sudden flight drug test of the International Anti-Doping Agency would affect his state and whether he would not be able to qualify for the high jump Olympics.
Zhang Huasong confidently told reporters that he did not take doping and was not afraid of testing.
Therefore, the International Anti-Doping Agency will not have any impact on his flight drug test, and he will certainly qualify for his sixth Olympic event in the high jump this morning.
This is Zhang Huasong's first time in Nanjing, and he came with the purpose of qualifying for the sixth and seventh Olympic events, which has attracted much attention. There is also the news that Zhang Huasong was tested for drugs in flight, which made the competition at Nanjing Station also full.
Many fans of Zhang Huasong put up banners in support of Zhang Huasong, saying that they believe that Zhang Huasong will not have any problems and support him to win the Olympic qualification for high jump and pole vault and create a miracle.
More than 50 people participated in this high jump, and the starting height agreed by the referee team was 2 meters, and the starting height selected by the athletes for the first time should not be less than 2 meters. Then, before the final champion is decided, the pole must not be less than 2 centimeters at a time, until the final champion is determined.
After the championship is produced, if you want to hit a higher score, then 1 cm 1 cm liter is allowed.
In the first round of the jump, most of the athletes chose a starting height of 2 meters, first to ensure a valid result, and a few stronger ones chose a height of about 2 meters.
Then, the 26 athletes before Zhang Huasong, except for one failed to hit the pole and had to make a second attempt jump at this height, everyone else passed the first height of their choice.
Zhang Huasong came out in 27th place, and he directly chose a height of 2.2 meters to warm up, but this was also the highest starting height selected in this high jump competition.
When the referee raised the crossbar to 2.2 meters, and the on-site commentary introduced to the audience that the first height Zhang Huasong chose was 2.2 meters, the scene immediately burst into warm applause and applauded the height chosen by Zhang Huasong.
Because, the height chosen by Zhang Huasong is more than 0.1 meters higher than the starting height of other athletes, which can be described as quite confident!
This strength has already excelled in this national indoor competition.
Then, Zhang Huasong took a deep breath more than 20 meters on the slope of the starting area and started the J-shaped run, the closer to the starting area, the faster.
In the last step, Zhang Huasong's big legs kicked down, jumped up with his whole body, turned his back to the crossbar, fully stretched his body, and successfully crossed the 2.2-meter-high crossbar in the way of a back-to-back high jump, and fell onto the cushion behind.
The on-site commentator said loudly: "Zhang Huasong successfully crossed the height of 2.2 meters on his first attempt, and is currently ranked first among all players. ”
The audience suddenly burst into warm applause and cheers from Zhang Huasong's fans.
However, this height has not even reached the Olympic B standard, and it is not worth celebrating.
The competition continued, and in the second round, everyone else raised the bar height by more than 2 centimeters, except for the athlete who failed in the first attempt, who had to continue with the second attempt at that height.
A few others raised more than 5 centimeters.
After Zhang Huasong warmed up for the first 2.2-meter jump, he felt that he was in good shape, and he had no problem qualifying for the Olympics, so he chose the 2.27-meter Olympic B line.
When the on-site commentator introduced to the audience that the height chosen by Zhang Huasong was the B marking line of the Peking Olympics, everyone was immediately excited.
Zhang Huasong is about to officially start to qualify for the Olympics!
Under the watchful eyes of the audience in front of the audience and the live broadcast TV, Zhang Huasong ran along the J-shaped line to the starting area, the rhythm was smooth and natural, and then jumped into the 2.27-meter Olympic B line smoothly.
Suddenly, there was warm applause at the scene, and some Zhang Huasong fans screamed.
However, this height is not enough to participate in the Olympics.
Because two athletes from the Huaguo team have already reached the Beiping Olympic A line of 2.30 meters in the men's high jump in other competitions, Zhang Huasong must jump 2.30 meters to qualify for the Olympics, and the B line is now useless.
So, in the third round, Zhang Huasong asked the referee to raise the crossbar by 2 centimeters to a height of 2.30 meters, and began to hit the Olympic A standard.
Seeing that Zhang Huasong chose a height of 2.30 meters, everyone knows that Zhang Huasong is ready to hit the Olympic A standard.
The audience, reporters, coaches, athletes, and sports fans and track and field insiders who were watching Zhang Huasong in front of the TV were all nervous.
Although two Chinese male high jumpers have already reached the Olympic A standard in other competitions, and now that the Olympics are more than half a year away, Zhang Huasong may not be able to secure one of the three final quota places even if he jumps 2.30 meters.
However, for now, as long as Zhang Huasong can jump this height, he will at least be one of the three qualified athletes at the moment.
Therefore, many people who support Zhang Huasong feel both nervous and looking forward to whether Zhang Huasong can skip this height.
On the field, Zhang Huasong was also a little nervous!
Because, his high jump skill is 2.35 meters, and 2.30 meters is only 5 centimeters away from the limit height of his skills, which is quite close!
It's not impossible to play a little abnormally, the action is not in place, the crossbar is dropped, and the trial jump fails!
Speaking of which, the high jump and pole vault are two outliers in the Olympic program.
While other events are all about winning, the high jump and pole vault are about "failure".
Raise the height of the bar again and again, try to jump again and again, skip not counting the final result, until the last attempt fails.
So, on the surface, the high jump competition is not a challenge to win at all, but a competition to challenge "failure".
After the athletes in other sports finished the competition, the audience generally applauded and cheered enthusiastically. But after the last failed attempt in the high jump competition, the audience usually sighed in unison.
Therefore, the high jump and the pole vault are two outliers in the Olympic sport.
Of course, no matter what, every successful attempt before the last failure is still very exciting.
Zhang Huasong is now ready to hit the Olympic A standard height of 2.30 meters!
If he jumps over, he will be eligible to compete for one of the three men's long jump places to represent the Chinese team in the Peking Olympics!
