The participants in the finals are all 9 players who directly passed the 5.7-meter final in the qualifying round, and their strength is relatively strong.
Therefore, the starting height of the first jump used to warm up was more than 5 meters, some 5.2 meters, some 5.3 meters, and the highest was 5.5 meters chosen by the Russian athlete Avigeny Lukoyanneko, and all of them succeeded in the first attempt.
However, when it was Zhang Huasong's turn to finish last in 9th place, his starting height was 5.7 meters above the final passing line. used this starting height to warm up, which immediately caused the audience to exclaim.
"Why did Zhang Huasong choose such a high starting height to warm up?"
"Do you want to be like the high jump, only jump three times, and save strength for the 400m final later?"
"It's possible, but the pole vault is too high, 5.7 meters, almost two stories high, isn't he afraid of mistakes?"
"Look, he's about to jump!"
Under the watchful eyes of the audience, Zhang Huasong jumped 5.7 meters in a smooth jump, and immediately won the applause of the audience.
In the second round, when Brad Walker of the Stars and Stripes Country, Steve Hook of Australia, and Avigny Lukoyanneko of Russia all raised their poles to 5.7 meters and tried to pass, Zhang Huasong directly raised the pole by 15 centimeters to 5.85 meters.
In the IAAF Golden League, they can occasionally win the championship.
After the explanation of the live TV commentary on the scene and in front of the TV, the audience at the scene and in front of the TV knew the significance of this height, and everyone was looking forward to it!
Can Zhang Huasong pass it all at once like yesterday's high jump final?
scene, because Zhang Huasong only has 5.9 meters of skill now, 5.85 meters is still very high for him.
Therefore, he made full preparations seriously and fully before lifting the pole and starting to run.
Then, inserting the pole, jumping, putting the pole, and crossing the crossbar, Zhang Huasong's 5.85-meter trial jump was declared a success.
The scene immediately burst into warm applause, congratulating Zhang Huasong on his boldness and success.
In the third round, the three of Brad Walker did not have the need to participate in the 400-meter final as Zhang Huasong, and only raised the minimum 5 centimeters required by the rules in a hurry, and the three continued to pass the first attempt.
And Zhang Huasong, at this time, is already the last jump he expected.
The time displayed on the big screen has reached about 17:20, and after this attempt is over, whether it is successful or not, whether it wins the championship or not, Zhang Huasong has to prepare for the 400-meter final at 17:35.
The 400 meters is the event that is sure to win the gold medal, and Zhang Huasong has to leave a few more minutes of rest time for the 400 meters, even if he breathes a sigh of relief.
Therefore, Zhang Huasong asked the system to upgrade his pole vault skills to 6.0 meters, recovered his physical condition, and then asked the referee to raise him to a height of 5.95 meters.
As soon as this height came out, it was the real surprise of the audience.
Because, 5.95 meters, is the height of the 2004 Athens Olympic Games.
Oh my God, Zhang Huasong did not choose the minimum lift limit of 5 centimeters, he directly raised the height of 10 centimeters, reaching 5.95 meters, the height of the 2004 Athens Olympic gold medal. ”
"Spectators, Zhang Huasong's third jump, he chose a height of 5.95 meters, which was the height of the 2004 Athens Olympic gold medal. ”
"The 400m final is about to start, Zhang Huasong chose a height of 5.95 meters, maybe to fight for the championship, let's wait and see. ”
If Zhang Huasong jumps over this height, he will have three more attempts and zero mistakes. And the odds of winning the championship are also very good!"
Under everyone's attention and expectation, Zhang Huasong took a deep breath, and then held the pole and began to run, faster and faster.
Finally, the pole is inserted into the pole slot, and the entire body is bounced up with the bent pole. Then put the pole, crossed the crossbar, and landed on the cushion more than 1 meter thick behind.
The crossbar did not fall, and Zhang Huasong's 5.95-meter test jump was successful.
The audience all stood up and gave warm applause, and thousands ......of overseas Chinese and some Spanish fans who had been conquered by Zhang Huasong's performance all screamed and cheered.
The on-site commentary and the host of live TV from all over the world shouted: "It's a success, Zhang Huasong is a success." Following the high jump final, Zhang Huasong once again staged a miracle of zero mistakes in three attempts in the pole vault. Moreover, this height of 5.95 meters is likely to allow Zhang Huasong to win the championship. In that case, Zhang Huasong will set a record for the fastest men's pole vault championship. ”
In the pole vault arena, after Zhang Huasong got up from the cushion, he saw that the crossbar had not fallen, so he also waved his fist in celebration, and then thanked the audience who applauded.
Subsequently, Zhang Huasong confirmed the results with the referee and told the referee that he would give up the remaining chance to try the jump because he was going to participate in the 400-meter final.
After the referee's approval, Zhang Huasong left the pole vault arena, rushed to the starting line of the 400-meter final to report to the referee team of the 400-meter final, and then began to warm up and prepare for the 400-meter final.
Although he upgraded his pole vaulting skills before the last jump, his physical condition recovered a little, but the height of 5.95 meters in the last jump still consumed a lot of Zhang Huasong's physical strength and energy.
Therefore, Zhang Huasong warmed up very seriously.
At 17:35, before the start of the men's 400-meter final, the pole vault had already skipped four rounds, and Zhang Huasong's three main opponents all raised the pole to 5.80 meters and tried to pass, approaching Zhang Huasong's 5.95 meters one by one.
However, Zhang Huasong, who was preparing for the 400-meter final, did not pay attention to the pole vault, but seriously prepared for the 400-meter final.
Zhang Huasong participated in both simultaneous finals, and the previous final has not really ended, he has already gone to the final of the next event, which is also a rare scene in international competitions.
At 17:35, the 400m final began.
With a gunshot from the starter, Zhang Huasong, who was assigned to lane 4 in the best position, rushed out with a starting reaction of 0.136 seconds.
Zhang Huasong's starting reaction was only fourth, and the loss of energy caused by the pole vault final caused Zhang Huasong to start a little slower than usual.
However, after the start of the race, Zhang's 43.8-second skill came into play, allowing him to be much faster than the other competitors. The lag caused by the starting reaction is negligible.
This time, Zhang Huasong took out all the strength of the 400-meter skill and devoted himself to the competition.
Although several stars and stripes did not participate in the 400m, there were still two runners in the final who had the best time to break the 44-second mark.
Although their best time was only enough to break the 44-second mark, it was still far from Zhang's 43.8-second skill.
However, after the pole vault final, Zhang Huasong could not run infinitely close to 43.8 seconds!
If those two play beyond the norm and refresh their personal bests, Zhang Huasong may not necessarily win the championship.
Therefore, Zhang Huasong must also show all his strength to fight for the gold medal in the men's 400m.
