Chapter 305: The Group Stage Begins
I slept well in the afternoon on the first day, and I didn't get up until dinner in the evening. After dinner, I swept away two more chapters of internal medicine notes, saw that the time had reached 1o o'clock in the evening, and thought that there would be a game the next day, so I went to sleep.
People who only have events on the second day of competition always take advantage of it.
Yao Aijun, who got up the next day, was obviously in a very full state. After a brief breakfast, I went to the venue to get used to it first. By the time the athletes entered the arena before the official competition at 9 o'clock, he had already soaked in water for more than half an hour and tried several times on the jumping platform. Today is not the good weather of the first day, the sky is slightly overcast, fortunately it is not raining, just a lot cooler.
"How's it going, are you still adapting?" Shen Duo and Yao Aijun participated in the men's singles 10-meter platform semifinals together, Shen Duo was in Group A, and Yao Aijun was in Group B.
"It's okay, no problem." Yao Aijun jumped twice on the spot, indicating that he was in good shape.
Shen Duo smiled: "This time is a good time, in a few months, the city with this oceanic climate will begin to stick." It's still a bit cold, though, and when we're jumping in group A, remember to put your jacket on the side. ”
"Hmmm! Know the cheerleader mom. Yao Aijun learned from the members of the team, and laughed at Shen Duo's nickname. In two years, the burden he took over from Hu Youliang made this originally hot-tempered man become the big butler of the team. It's not an exaggeration for the team members to call him "team mom".
Shen Duo raised his leg angrily and kicked him.
This year, there are no additional players who are directly invited, and there are a total of 8 people in the men's singles 10-meter platform preliminaries, divided into four people in group A/B. Eight in the preliminaries, six in the afternoon, to the finals.
Group A starts at 9 o'clock sharp. Yao Aijun and the players in Group B prepared for the break.
Shen Duo's six-jump difficulty has a total score of 2o.3, which is a relatively low difficulty, but Shen Duo is a veteran, as long as he swings steadily, he can get a high score on such a difficulty score by brushing his face. For veterans like them, it is better to fight for quality and stability than for difficulty.
Judging from the situation of previous world championships, diving is not the king of difficulty.
Shen Duo's group stage includes British star Thomas, Russian rookie Tusanov, and Daisuke Maeda, who once lost to Yao Aijun in the Asian Youth Championship.
Yao Aijun weighed it in his heart, only Thomas could challenge Shen Duo in this group of players, so he was not nervous at all in the waiting area, as long as Shen Duo waved normally, it was impossible to have a problem entering the afternoon finals.
As the time of the game arrived, the Group A matches started on time.
The first pick to play was Daisuke Maeda. After his defeat to Yao Aijun in Yaqing, he almost practiced penance and vowed to regain his glory. It's a pity that Yao Aijun has been banned for more than a year, and he has not been able to meet many competitions for studying.
This time the series became an old account buried in Daisuke Maeda's heart.
The first leg of the sub-station was the Chinese station, Yao Aijun won the fifth, and there were a total of six people in the finals, and the only one who was pressed by Yao Aijun was him - Daisuke Maeda.
This is simply another shame in his life! Of course, he blamed the humiliation on Yao Aijun's home advantage.
The second leg of the sub-station competition became the first battlefield of his counterattack. It's a pity that the two are in different groups, and if Maeda wants to meet Yao Aijun in the final, he must at least get the top six in group AB to enter the final.
Maeda's first jump is 5255B, with a difficulty coefficient of 3.6.
In terms of difficulty, it's not surprising that it's medium-to-high, but it's rare for a player to do a twist on the first jump.
Maeda jumped well, 5255B got 3 effective points of 8 points, and the actual score was 86.4o points. made a good start, and suddenly ignited the atmosphere of the scene.
Most people didn't expect that the first jump in the first round would have such a high score, whether it was a jump or a spin in the air, Maeda's performance was remarkable.
After the water was raised, Maeda saw the coach on the sidelines gesturing with his thumbs on his hands, knowing that the situation was not bad. When the broadcast reported the score, the high score of 86.4 still couldn't help but make him excited.
The atmosphere on the field was ignited by this jump, because of the outdoor venue, the audience was obviously much more enthusiastic. The applause and cheers were mixed with all kinds of whistles, which was extremely enthusiastic.
Maeda also raised his arms in the air and waved them in excitement, which is still very rare for a Japanese player who is known for his emotional restraint.
He was followed by Tusanov. From Russia, which is also one of the diving empires, this old power spanning the Eurasian Big 6, has produced many famous generals. However, the cultivation of the new generation of players in recent years has been somewhat stretched, and Tusanov is the most capable rookie in the past two years.
Tusanov has the characteristics of a typical Russian fighter, with a very well-balanced flex and power show, which is reflected in his body shape, which is extremely well-proportioned and good-looking. This also gives Russian athletes a special advantage in events such as gymnastics and diving.
Tusanov's first jump was 4o7c, and he somersaulted inward for three and a half weeks with a knee hug on a difficulty of 3.2.
This action is relatively stable, and choosing this action to do the first jump in the outdoor arena is a more scientific way, with the back facing outwards and turning inwards, and being least affected by external forces.
Tusanov's jump was also good, also with three effective points of 8. The actual score is 76.8o points. Although it is nearly 1o points lower than Maeda because of the difficulty factor, it is also a good move with high quality.
The audience present gave full recognition to this jump, and the applause and cheers did not stop.
The action of scoring 8 points in two jumps in a row made everyone's emotions seem very excited, after all, there are too few cases of being out of state at the beginning.
Thomas, who came out in third place, made a mistake on the first jump at home.
Thomas's choice of action for this jump is also 4o7c with difficulty of 3.2. But his luck was obviously very bad, and the moment Thomas jumped, a gust of wind blew......
Sitting in the stands, maybe the feeling of the spectators is just a fresh breeze blowing. However, when the wind is at the 10-meter platform, it is not so mild.
People who live in high-rise buildings may have the most intuitive feeling, the higher the floor, the louder the wind blowing through the windows, and above 2o floors, no matter how gentle the breeze, can blow a whistling feeling.
Although the 1o meter platform is not as exaggerated as the 2o floor, diving is an unfixed way of doing work. To put it simply, after jumping from the platform, the athlete is in a state of no restraints, just like a kite without a leash, and can be swayed with a little wind.
This is officially a downside to the outdoor arena.
Thomas happened to be the tragedy here, jumping with his back outward, pedaling out of the platform was still smooth, and he did a good job of hugging his legs inward. However, just as he finished hugging his knees, a gust of wind came...... Originally, he was jumping inward, and his head was turning down, but this wind came and added a power to him to turn inward, and this heel went down! (To be continued.) )8
