Chapter 194: 16 Meters Mark!
The score of 15.82 meters kept flashing in Kenichi Oshima's mind, and he suddenly felt that he seemed to have returned to four years ago, when the situation was similar to today, the Japanese team locked the gold medal again and again, and then the gold medal was taken away by Chen Qiang again and again.
At this moment, the entire Japanese team became speechless, and the cheerful atmosphere just now disappeared without a trace.
The head coach of the Japanese team was even more sluggish, although he knew that Chen Qiang could not surrender just now, he had already been mentally prepared in his heart, but when Chen Qiang really jumped out of 15.82 meters, he still felt the pain of heartbreak.
"Don't be discouraged, this is only the second round of jumps, the competition is less than halfway through, we still have a chance, we can't lose our fighting spirit!" The head coach of the Japanese team spoke.
At this time, the only thing he can do is to encourage his teammates, although he doesn't know if this encouragement will have any effect.
Just when the Japanese team was in disappointment, Jack Metcalfe also stood in the chase zone. At this time, he didn't even react to what had just happened.
A minute ago, before Chen Qiang started his second attempt, Jack Metcalfe was still the world record holder, and a minute later, he was already the "former" world record holder, and his world record of 15.78m was easily broken by Chen Qiang.
Watching your world record being broken by someone else is like a beloved cup being smashed in front of you!
The pride in Jack Metcalfe's heart also disappeared without a trace at this time, he was no longer the world record holder, as if he had suddenly changed from a god to a mortal.
Jack Metcalfe started the run-up in a mess, and predictably, his second-round jump attempt ended in a foul.
Last to appear is Japanese athlete Naoto Tajima.
When Naoto Tajima jumped 15.76 meters, he thought he was going to win the championship, but he didn't expect that in the next round of jumping, Chen Qiang surpassed him. At this time, Naoto Tajima was desperate to overtake, so he used a very extreme jump, but luck was not on Naoto Tajima's side, and his attempt to jump failed.
In the second round of the attempt, among the top five competitors, only Chen Qiang and Masao Harada succeeded, and the others failed.
In the third round of the test jump, the cannon fodder players took the lead, and their test jump will also last for more than half an hour, and for the Japanese team, this is an extremely rare half hour, they can use this half hour to calm down and reformulate countermeasures. And after half an hour of calming down and adjusting, the players of the Japanese team will also recover some form, and may even come out of the shadow of defeat.
The head coach of the Japanese team also continued to comfort and encourage his players, and at this time, it was no longer necessary to emphasize the technical aspects, on the contrary, psychological counseling could work wonders.
More than half an hour later, it was Kenichi Oshima's turn to appear again, and his third attempt to jump still ended in failure, and it was obvious that Kenichi Oshima had not adjusted his mentality.
Kenichi Oshima participated in the Los Angeles Olympics four years ago and personally experienced the triple jump final four years ago, so Chen Qiang's psychological shadow on him was also the most serious, so the psychological counseling of the head coach of the Japanese team did not work for him.
Kenichi Oshima has failed in the last two of his three attempts, but he is still in the top six because he jumped 15.07m on his first jump.
Next up was Masao Harada, who was in a good mental state despite his first time participating in the Olympics, and this time he jumped 15.42m, which was also very good.
Next up was Germany's Heinz. Heinz also knows that the medal is not for him, and he can't even compare with Masao Harada, let alone surpass Jack Metcalfe, Naoto Tajima and Chen Qiang, so he has no psychological pressure and tries to refresh his best results.
So he still used a very extreme jump, hoping to spell a good result, but the result was unsatisfactory and ended in a foul.
However, Heinz still relied on the first round of the test jump of 17.27 meters, ranked fifth among all the players, and successfully advanced to the next three test jumps.
It's Chen Qiang's turn again.
After the first two rounds of trial jumps, Chen Qiang has found the feeling of the game, and this time he also took an extreme jump, but Chen Qiang's luck was not very good, and his third attempt also ended in a foul.
Chen Qiang walked off the field, his expression did not look depressed, although this time the trial jump was fouled, but he also gained valuable experience, he knew where the problem was, and the next time he tried the jump, he could correct it in a targeted manner.
Next up was Jack Metcalfe, who fell short of 14.67m on his third attempt. It's clear that Jack Metcalfe's form hasn't recovered yet. However, because Jack Metcalfe jumped 15.50m in the first round of the attempt, he still advanced to the next three attempts in third place.
Naoto Tajima, who appeared in the end, jumped 15.44 meters, although it was far less than the 15.76 meters he jumped for the first time, but he finally succeeded in the trial jump, and he also jumped a score of nearly 15 and a half meters, which can be regarded as a slight recovery of some form. Perhaps for him, this trial jump is also a process for him to regain his form.
The first three rounds of the test jumps were over, and in addition to Chen Qiang, the six competitors who advanced to the final were three competitors from Japan, Australia's Jack Metcalfe, and Germany's Heinz. In the next three jumps, they will be played in reverse order of results.
……
The fourth round of the trial jump began, and the first to appear was Kenichi Oshima, and then he committed a third foul!
Four jumps and three fouls, which is not common in a game, and Kenichi Oshima still failed three consecutive attempts, which is even rarer.
It can be seen that the 15.82 meters that Chen Qiang jumped out of has brought more than just a psychological shadow to Kenichi Oshima, which has become a nightmare in Kenichi Oshima's heart. It is estimated that in this life, Kenichi Oshima can't slow down, but whenever there is a game of Chen Qiang, he will play abnormally.
Germany's Heinz scored 14.53 meters on his fourth attempt, which is not a good result, but it is not the worst for him, it is said that his strength is the weakest of the remaining six, and he was able to jump 15.27 meters before, and it all depends on the extraordinary performance of the home audience after adding a full buff.
The third to appear was Masao Harada, who was perhaps the only one who was not affected by Chen Qiang, who jumped 15.50m and improved his score by 5 centimeters.
At present, Masao Harada's momentum is very good, his results have been improving, and it is estimated that Masao Harada's performance will improve in the next two attempts.
The fourth was Jack Metcalfe, who only jumped 14.83m this time. For the former world record holder, not even being able to jump 15 meters is a bit bad.
If it was just one attempt and did not jump 15 meters, it could be regarded as an accident, but the failure to jump 15 meters in two consecutive attempts made Jack Metcalfe suddenly realize that he had completely lost his form of competition!
"It's over, it's all gone!" Jack Metcalfe's eyes were tinged with sorrow.
Because Chen Qiang broke his world record, Jack Metcalfe's mentality completely collapsed, and he also lost the form of the game, with his current state, even if the next two attempts were adjusted, it was impossible to jump very well.
"That's how my first Olympic trip is going to end!" Jack Metcalfe's heart was full of unwillingness, which was completely different from what he expected.
Before the start of the Olympics, Jack Metcalfe was confident that he was the world record holder, and he thought he would be able to sweep the world and win the Olympic gold medal. However, the reality played a big joke on him, the game is not over yet, but he has collapsed and completely lost his state, and next, he has to complete the next two test jumps in this bad state, isn't this to be embarrassed in front of the audience? It was really an unbearable ordeal for him.
"It's all that Chinese, it's he who ruined my mentality!" Jack Metcalfe gritted his teeth viciously, he didn't reflect on why his psychological quality was so poor, but instead projected his resentment onto Chen Qiang.
Jack Metcalfe walked off the field unwillingly, complaining about Chen Qiang in his mind, but he was helpless about it, with his strength and today's bad state of mental imbalance, it is impossible to find Chen Qiang for revenge.
Next, it was Naoto Tajima's turn to try the jump, and he jumped a score of 15.65m, which was an improvement from the third jump just now.
Although Naoto Tajima was affected by Chen Qiang's 15.82 meters, the state of the game quickly recovered, judging from the results of the fourth jump, Naoto Tajima has returned to the state at the beginning of the game.
The last one to appear was Chen Qiang.
In the last round of the test jump, although Chen Qiang failed to foul, he also gained experience, and he knew where the problem was, so this time in the test jump, Chen Qiang made some corrections and adjustments to his technical movements, and this also brought about an improvement in performance.
On the fourth attempt, Chen Qiang jumped directly to a score of 15.88 meters, setting a new world record again.
"Chen Qiang is not satisfied, he has set a new world record!"
"15.88m, a new world record! The big picture has been decided, and there is no suspense in this game! ”
"I seem to have seen the high jump final a few days ago, Chen Qiang has locked the championship, but he is still challenging himself again and again, constantly creating new results!"
In the surrounding stands, applause was mixed with praise for Chen Qiang, breaking the world record twice in a row, and the audience was conquered by Chen Qiang again.
However, the Japanese team fell into a dead silence.
Kenichi Oshima, who failed to jump three times in a row, has not yet come to his senses, he already has a psychological shadow on Chen Qiang, and now seeing Chen Qiang breaking the world record again, the psychological shadow instantly expands geometrically.
Although Masao Harada's psychological quality is very strong, at this time, it is like a frosted eggplant, wilting. For him, 15.82m may be able to pray for a miracle, but 15.88m is really beyond the limits of his ability. Although Harada Masao still had a very tough expression on his face, as if he was not afraid of Chen Qiang at all, he had already surrendered in advance in his heart.
As for Naoto Tajima, he has just regained the form of the competition, and is planning to show his strength in the last two attempts, if he is lucky, there is still a slight chance to surpass Chen Qiang's 15.82 meters, but he didn't expect that Chen Qiang raised again! Now Naoto Tajima is not going to surpass 15.82 meters, but 15.88 meters!
"Damn, what an abomination! Isn't 15.82m enough! I even had to jump 15.88 meters! Jack Metcalfe cursed in his heart.
His mentality is becoming more and more unbalanced, and Jack Metcalfe is aware of this, and he also understands that with his current situation, this bad mentality is beyond adjustment!
At this time, Jack Metcalfe was full of jealousy, if this was not in the Olympics, maybe he would have to go up to PK with Chen Qiang.
"Although I can't win against you, you don't want to win so easily!" Jack Metcalfe couldn't help but look at Japan's Naoto Tajima, who was not far away.
I saw Jack Metcalfe walk up to Naoto Tajima and say to him, "Mr. Naoto Tajima, I think the technical moves you just made would definitely be better if you improved them a little." ”
Naoto Tajima was slightly stunned, he didn't know what Jack Metcalfe's intentions were, but out of politeness, Naoto Tajima still talked to Jack Metcalfe.
Naoto Tajima is a top student at Kyoto Imperial University and can understand English and German, so there is no problem communicating between the two.
And what Naoto Tajima didn't expect was that Jack Metcalfe really pointed out several technical flaws that he had!
Although Japan was the first power in the triple jump at that time, this does not mean that Japan's technology is flawless, and although the triple jump in European and American countries is not as good as Japan, it does not mean that the triple jump in European and American countries is completely useless. In the triple jump event, both sides can be regarded as having their own strengths.
And Jack Metcalfe can jump the world record of 15.78 meters, naturally he has some real skills, his triple jump skills, and his understanding of the triple jump, are the best in the world. Of course, there is merit in his proposals.
What's more, Jack Metcalfe is an Australian athlete, and the triple jump training system he receives is different from that of Japanese athletes, and his perspective is also different from that of Japanese athletes.
In sports, your opponents tend to spot your weaknesses earlier!
For example, in the NBA, there are some very awesome tactical systems almost every year, but all tactical systems will be broken by opponents. Sometimes the manager thinks that my tactics are very good, my tactics are completely unsolvable, but when it comes to the game, the opponent will definitely find a way to restrain you.
"This Australian ghost animal is very right, these technical points he just said, if I can improve, the results will definitely improve!" Naoto Tajima looked at Jack Metcalfe with a grateful face, he didn't expect that Jack Metcalfe, as an opponent, would actually help him during the game!
Naoto Tajima deeply felt the greatness and selflessness of the "Olympic spirit". However, he didn't know that the reason why Jack Metcalfe would help him was entirely to stumble Chen Qiang.
Jack Metcalfe thinks so, since he can't win against Chen Qiang, let's go and improve Naoto Tajima's strength and make Naoto Tajima's results better, so that at least he can make trouble for Chen Qiang. In case Naoto Tajima exceeds 15.88 meters, it can just pull Chen Qiang off the horse!
Australia is, after all, a place where the British exile criminals, the descendants of a bunch of criminals and scoundrels, and where is there any sportsmanship to speak of, who are never willing to admit their debts willingly when they lose, and always find some extra reason. Even if your skills are not as good as others, you have to make some tricks disgusting you. Even in the 21st century, Australian athletes are still the same.
At this time, the fifth round of trial jumps also began, and Kenichi Oshima, who took the lead, still failed to foul, failing to try four consecutive attempts, and Kenichi Oshima had completely lost confidence at this time, and his game had completely collapsed!
Germany's Heinz was still looking for a breakthrough, and he ended his fifth attempt with a foul again.
Jack Metcalfe was in a similar situation, his mentality was completely unbalanced, even his technical moves were deformed, and his fifth jump attempt also ended in a foul.
Japan's Masao Harada jumped 15.27m, the only one of the top four to succeed in the attempt. However, this result is too far away from Chen Qiang's 15.88 meters, and it is not a threat to Chen Qiang at all.
Then it was Naoto Tajima's turn to appear.
At this time, Naoto Tajima, after being guided by Jack Metcalfe, has a great increase in confidence! A conversation with Jack Metcalfe just now gave him a new understanding of the triple jump, and now Naoto Tajima even feels that he has merged the triple jump techniques of the East and the West!
Naoto Tajima was excited again, he came to the running area, looked confidently at the sand pool in front of him, and then began to accelerate.
This time, Naoto Tajima still used a very extreme technique, but his technical movements were different from just now, and several technical points mentioned by Jack Metcalfe were all integrated into this test jump.
Naoto Tajima's body flew through the air and then fell into the sand pool, and he looked back as he got up, only to see that the marks in the sand pool were already at the level of the 16-meter mark!
"16 meters? Am I mistaken? Naoto Tajima couldn't believe his eyes at all, he subconsciously rubbed his eyes with his hands and looked at the sand pool again.
"It's really 16 meters!" Naoto Tajima excitedly looked up to the sky and roared!
