Chapter 126 Killer Feature, Break Through the Eight Meter Mark!
Chen Qiang is about to start his fifth attempt.
A tense atmosphere suddenly spread, and the air seemed to freeze.
The two Americans, Ed Gordon and Lambert Reed, all looked at Chen Qiang with nervous expressions, and they were a little worried that Chen Qiang would jump to a better result.
7.80 meters is already an insurmountable result for these two people, and if Chen Qiang improves his score again, then the two can surrender in advance.
The crowd in the surrounding stands also fell silent, some chose to hold their breath, others began to pray, and some even closed their eyes, not daring to continue watching Chen Qiang's fifth attempt.
Chen Qiang stood in the running area, and he recalled the technical essentials in his mind.
The techniques he used next were not seen in this era, and Chen Qiang never showed it when he was training for the long jump on weekdays, he just trained in space.
At this time, Chen Qiang couldn't help but be glad that he had a training space, which could not only give him a tenfold training time bonus, but also prevent some advanced technologies from being leaked.
Chen Qiang took a few deep breaths, and when the rhythm of his breathing stabilized, he began to start to accelerate. In the blink of an eye, he increased his speed to the extreme, rushed to the springboard, and jumped violently.
This time, Chen Qiang did not stretch his chest and hips, but made a large forward and backward step in the air to change legs, and at the same time, his arms were also swinging, matching the strides of his legs.
"It's not a stand-up lift!"
"Chen Qiang used a walking style to take off this time!"
"Why? Why did he abandon the upright air and use the walking air in favor of the walking one! ”
The surrounding athletes were suddenly shocked, and everyone couldn't figure out why Chen Qiang made this choice.
Stand-up take-off, known as the most advanced take-off technology at that time, compared with squatting and walking take-off, are backward technologies. Other athletes don't know how to stand up in the air, so they have to use walking in the air, but Chen Qiang clearly mastered the technique of standing up in the air, and then used the backward walking step in the air, which made everyone puzzled.
It's like watching a video, when there is no HD, you can bear to watch a low-resolution SD, but if you have Blu-ray 1080, you can even see the sweat pores clearly, and then look at SD, it's really uncomfortable for yourself.
"Why is it a walking flight? What exactly is Chen Qiang going to do? His upright air is already so perfect, why not continue to use it? The confusion in Nanbu Tadahei's heart was all written on his face.
"I don't use a more powerful upright lift, but I use a walking take-off? Why is that? Ed Gordon looked at Lambert Reed next to him, as if asking: Do you understand this wave of operations?
Lambert Reed shook his head and said I don't understand!
When everyone didn't know why, Chen Qiang had already fallen to the ground, and when he stood up, there was an exclamation in his ears.
"Wow!" It was a voice from the audience.
Chen Qiang looked back, and the traces he left this time had exceeded the position of 7.9 meters, and he was about to reach the 8-meter mark!
"Oh my God, look, the Chinese jumped farther than last time!" Someone pointed to the sand pool.
Nanfang Zhongping looked at the sand pool, and his face instantly turned pale!
"This jump is over 7.9m! How is this possible, Chen Qiang used the walking style to take off, and it turned out to be farther than the upright jump!
Ed Gordon also looked at the traces in the sand pool, and his face instantly turned dark!
The reason why it is miserable black and not miserable white is because Ed Gordon is a black athlete, and no matter how miserable it is, his face will not become miserable.
"It's more than 7.9 meters!" There was a hint of despair in Ed Gordon's eyes, he couldn't even surpass the 7.8-meter mark, and even more so with 7.9 meters.
The surveyor quickly ran over to measure, and then the referee announced the result of Chen Qiang's jump.
"7.92 meters!"
"Oh!!" In the surrounding stands, the audience once again let out a sound of amazement, but this time the voice was full of unwillingness and despair.
Many American viewers have realized that this score of 7.92 meters is enough to lock the gold medal in the long jump!
Ed Gordon looked at Chen Qiang with a shocked look, and said secretly in his heart: "7.92 meters, that Chinese's strength is so strong, and he just used the walking type to take off, and he can even jump out of 7.92 meters, can it be said that his walking style air technology is better than standing up type air lifting!" ”
At this moment, Lambert Reed next to him asked in a low voice: "Ed, do you think that the Chinese just tried to jump, and the posture of taking off is a little weird?" ”
"Weird? What's weird? Isn't it just a walking lift? Ed Gordon asked.
"It's just that the posture of walking in the air is a bit weird." Lambert Reid shook his head: "Maybe it's my delusion!" ”
"What a delusion, let's hear it." Ed Gordon asked again.
Lambert Reed hesitated for a few seconds before he replied: "I just had the illusion that after that Chinese took off the air, it seemed that he had taken three and a half steps. ”
Ed Gordon's brows furrowed, he had been surprised that Chen Qiang had used a walking air just now, but he didn't leave Chen Qiang walking to take off.
In the long jump, the athlete takes off in the air for only a blink of an eye, and the spectator is slightly distracted, or a distraction in the moment, and the athlete lands.
Ed Gordon hesitated for a moment and asked, "You mean that the Chinese took three and a half steps in the air?" You can't be mistaken. ”
"I guess I'm wrong!" Lambert Reid didn't hold his point anymore.
……
"7.92 meters! It's still a little bit short of the world record of 7.98m, and the next time you try to jump, you have to do your best! Chen Qiang said secretly in his heart. For this test jump, Chen Qiang is still quite satisfied.
Lambert Reid is not mistaken, after Chen Qiang took off, he did take three and a half steps, this is Chen Qiang's killer feature in the long jump event, three and a half steps to take off!
In the twenties and thirties, the long jumper's walking and taking off used the technique of two and a half steps, that is, after the athlete jumped up and took off, he took two steps and then took two steps to close his legs, and the total of two and a half steps was two and a half steps. In the future, male athletes will use a three-and-a-half-step walk-up in the air.
The technique of walking in the air, from two and a half steps to three and a half steps, took decades, and the effect was a qualitative leap.
In the two-and-a-half-step era, no one could break the world record of the long jump of the legendary American athlete Jesse Owens, and when the three-and-a-half-step technique appeared, Jesse Owens' world record was broken. After the invention of the three-and-a-half-step technique, the world record in the long jump has also gone all the way up and has been constantly refreshed.
Most of the female athletes in the future will use the upright lift, it is precisely because of the physical fitness of female athletes that it is difficult to achieve a three-and-a-half-step walk-up lift, and if a two-and-a-half-step walk-up is used, the effect is not as good as the upright lift. In the future, male athletes will use less up-to-the-box lifting, and walking taking off is a more mainstream technical action, because three-and-a-half-step walking flight is more advantageous.
In the early thirties, when the upright take-off first appeared, athletes generally believed that the step-up take-off was not as advanced as the up-to-the-top take-off, but also because the two-and-a-half-step technology at that time limited the play of the walk-up take-off, and when the three-and-a-half-step walk-up appeared, the advantage of the upright take-off disappeared.
The three-and-a-half-step step-by-step take-off used by Chen Qiang today is also a perfect fit for the play of speed-based technology.
The long jump concept from the future, the long jump training from the future, and the long jump technology from the future, Chen Qiang has the confidence to jump the eight-meter mark, which is Chen Qiang's real killer!
In addition to Lambert Reed, there are also individual athletes or coaches who have noticed Chen Qiang's three-and-a-half-step technique, but everyone is not sure if they are dazzled, after all, in this era, there are still athletes who have used the three-and-a-half-step walking technique.
……
Then it was Ed Gordon's turn.
Chen Qiang's 7.80 meters had already put a lot of pressure on Ed Gordon, but now it has improved to 7.92 meters, and Ed Gordon feels that there is little hope.
Ed Gordon walked onto the track, and the crowd's shouts were not as enthusiastic as just now, and some American spectators had already recognized the reality that with the strength of the American athletes, they may not be able to surpass 7.92 meters.
Run-up, acceleration, jump-up, take-off, landing, Ed Gordon still did his best, and then he looked back and saw the referee raise the red flag.
Foul again! Ed Gordon's fifth attempt failed.
The first five attempts are all over, and only the last one remains, with one more chance for each athlete.
The referee gave the athletes a two-minute break, and also asked them to adjust their condition so that they could make their last attempt.
First up was Japan's Tadahei Minami.
The current southern Tadahei is ranked fourth, as the world record holder in the long jump, this result is not satisfactory to the southern Tadahei, let alone the Japanese people, so he urgently needs a better result, even if he can't get the gold medal, but also to enter the top three, win a medal, it is also an explanation to himself and the country.
Nanfang Zhongping knew that he had already stepped out of the cliff with one foot, so he could only succeed in this jump, not fail!
"Come on, Nanfang-kun, don't be pressured!" The coach patted Nanbu Tadahei on the shoulder and said.
"Southern seniors, come on!" Naoto Tajima's voice also sounded from the side.
Nanbu Zhongping did not respond, but walked onto the field without heading, and it can be seen that his pressure is really high.
Running, jumping, and then the push-up that he had practiced countless times, and the red flag raised by the referee.
Nanbu Tadahei still fouled for the last time!
This is also no choice, Nanfang Zhongping only has one last chance, if he doesn't succeed, he can only choose the most daring and unrestrained way to complete this test jump, to fight for the best possible results.
It's a pity that luck wasn't on the side of Southern Chungpyeong, and he failed!
In fourth place, without a medal, Nanbu Tadahei walked off the field with a gloomy face.
"Nanfang-kun, don't worry, we just lack a little luck!" The coach immediately stepped forward and comforted.
Nanfang Zhongping still lowered his head and did not speak, looking very self-reproachful.
"Nanfang-kun, don't be discouraged, you can't admit defeat yet, we still have a triple jump next, and the Japanese team still needs you!" The coach continued.
The coach's words instantly woke up Nanbu Tadahei.
"Yes, now is not the time to blame myself, I still have to participate in the triple jump! I'm going to get pumped up! Nanbu Tadahei raised his head and pulled himself together again.
Nanbu Chungpei's failed attempt also meant that he withdrew from the competition for medals, and the remaining three athletes were able to win at least one medal each.
Winning a medal in the Olympics is also a great honor, but for the two American athletes, if it is only a silver and bronze medal, I am afraid that there is no way to explain it to the American people. After all, the long jump has always been a strong sport in the United States.
Lambert Red stepped onto the running area, and the cheers of the crowd in his ears brought not encouragement, but pressure!
"7.92 meters!" Lambert Red remembered the results Chen Qiang had just created, and a trace of bitterness flashed in his eyes.
Then he started his last attempt.
"7.49 meters!"
The referee announced Lambert Red's result, and he let out a sigh of relief and walked off the field.
At 7.49m, Lambert Rader was still third, and he won the bronze medal in the long jump event at the Los Angeles Olympics.
Although Lambert Red is not satisfied with this result, he can accept it calmly, and more importantly, he feels much more relaxed now.
The game is over, and no matter how much distress and frustration you have, you can't change the fact that you lost to Chen Qiang. What's more, there is an Ed Gordon at the bottom behind, and Ed Gordon, who is the last to appear, will inevitably be regarded as the last hope by the Americans in the audience, and the last hope is also the easiest to be regarded as the backstabber who lost the gold medal!
Now it's Chen Qiang's turn to appear for the last time.
Chen Qiang looked at the comprehensive sand pit, at this time Chen Qiang had already decided that the next attempt to jump would also be fighting, and he had to use a more unrestrained jump, so that it was possible to break the world record of 7.98 meters.
Chen Qiang adjusted his breathing, then began to run, and after taking off, he performed a three-and-a-half-step walking aerial technique.
"It's walking again!"
This time, everyone was not as surprised as before, after all, the last time he tried to jump, Chen Qiang had already performed a walking take-off, and he also achieved a good score of 7.92 meters, so it was not an accident that Chen Qiang used the walk-type air again.
Those who were already mentally prepared for Chen Qiang's use of walking to take off also began to seriously observe Chen Qiang's technical movements.
"One, two, three! Three and a half steps! It's really three and a half steps! I read that right! Lambert Red's eyes widened with a look of horror.
"Our walking and aerial movements are all two-and-a-half-step technology, while the Chinese is three-and-a-half-step, this is a new technology! No wonder the Chinese were just able to jump 7.92 meters, it turns out that he is using a new technology! "Lambert Rader is aware of that.
On the other side, Nanfang Zhongping, who had been eliminated from the competition, also calmed down and began to watch the game, and he immediately recognized that Chen Qiang's walking step in the air turned out to be a three-and-a-half-step technique.
"Three and a half steps? Chen Qiang took three and a half steps in the air! This is a long jump technique that has never been seen before! Nanbu Zhongping suddenly gasped.
Chen Qiang mastered the upright aerial technique, which has exceeded the expectations of Southern Zhongping, and now Chen Qiang has shown a new long jump technique, which is even more surprising to Southern Zhongping!
As the first athlete to use the upright take-off technique, Nanbu Chungpei's heart is full of a sense of superiority, if someone says that Nanbu Chungpei is the first person in the long jump today, I believe he will gladly accept it, after all, Nanbu Chungpei has created the breakthrough technology of standing up in the air.
However, in today's competition, Chen Qiang also showed a new long jump technique, which instantly made Nanfang Zhongping's sense of superiority completely lost.
Chen Qiang not only knows how to stand up in the air, but also the technique of standing up in the air seems to be more proficient than that of Southern Zhongping, in addition to this, Chen Qiang has mastered a new technology that even Southern Zhongping can't! At this moment, no matter how thick-skinned Nanfang Zhongping is, he doesn't dare to claim to be the first person in the long jump.
In the fifth test jump just now, Chen Qiang has already used this new technology. Maybe this three-and-a-half-step walk-up is more advanced than my upright take-off? ”
"No, it can't be more advanced than my upright take-off, I can jump 7.98 meters with my upright take-off, which can break the world record, but Chen Qiang's new technology can only jump to 7.92 meters!"
Thinking of this, Nanfang Zhongping couldn't help but look at the sand pool, at this time Chen Qiang had just stood up from the sand pit, leaving a trail on the gentle sand.
The edge of the trail is almost parallel to the 8-meter tick mark next to the sand pool!
"Eight meters!" Nanbu Tadahei couldn't help but exclaim.
At the same time, it was not only Nanbu Zhongping who exclaimed, but also other athletes on the scene, as well as some spectators in the stands.
Because Chen Qiang has the potential to surpass the eight-meter mark!
And humans have never jumped the eight-meter mark!
Chen Qiang has the potential to be the first person to cross the eight-meter mark!
A new world record will be set, the eight-meter mark is likely to be conquered by humans, and at this moment, both the surveyors and the referees are extremely cautious, and the IOC people also appeared on the scene, walking towards the sand pit.
After all, this is the Olympic Games, a new world record is born, or a new indicator is conquered by mankind, and the IOC people must of course witness it in person, not only to ensure the fairness and justice of the Olympic Games, but also because of this historic scene, how can there be no IOC!
Under countless eyes, the referee and the surveyor finally confirmed the result.
"8.01 meters!" The referee announced the result.
A new world record is born!
For the first time, humans have crossed the eight-meter mark!
The applause suddenly sounded, and one of the coaches couldn't help but applaud, and then the second person and the third person also gave Chen Qiang applause. In the next second, the applause began to diffuse, and after two or three breaths, the audience had already stood up and gave the applause to Chen Qiang.
This applause contains recognition and admiration!
While the American crowd was still hoping that the American athlete would win the eventual victory, the new world record and the first to cross the eight-meter mark have already conquered them!
There was one athlete at the scene who did not applaud, and that was Nanbu Chungpei.
The previous world record in the long jump was 7.98 meters held by Nam Chungpei. And in today's competition, Nanbu Zhongping not only lost the Olympic gold medal, but also lost the world record!
When Chen Qiang completed this test jump, Nanfang Zhongping was no longer the world record holder, and he was no longer the farthest jumper in the world!
Southern Tadahei, who had just cheered up, was hit again!
Chen Qiang's upright aerial technology is better than him, and the three-and-a-half-step aerial used by Chen Qiang is also more advanced than the upright aerial movement, which is equivalent to taking away the two halos on Southern Zhongping at once, and Southern Zhongping can be proud of the world record of 7.98 meters!
However, the last pride of Southern Zhongping was also taken away by Chen Qiang......
A kind of sad pain permeated Nanfang Zhongping's heart, although he was very strong, but at this time he still wanted to find a place to cry!
As a top athlete in the world, Nanbu Zhongping has his pride, but his pride has been completely shattered in this short competition!
……
The applause finally stopped, but the competition wasn't over yet, and Ed Gordon had to finish his last attempt.
For Ed Gordon, this is a bit cruel, Chen Qiang has already crossed the eight-meter mark, what else is he jumping? Is it necessary to jump again?
At this time, Ed Gordon has also confirmed that Chen Qiang has just taken off in three and a half steps, which is a completely new technology, and it is a long jump technique that has never appeared before.
How effective is this technique alone? Just look at the 8.01m result.
A very awesome new technology, a new world record, Ed Gordon knew that he had no chance of winning, and even if he made the last jump, it would be a feeble struggle.
But at this moment, Ed Gordon has to struggle a little bit because he's an American athlete because it's his home turf!
Losers don't lose. Even Ed Gordon knows that he will fail, but he must be like a fearless warrior, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and tigers in favor of tigers.
Ed Gordon didn't speak, he stepped onto the field, stood in the run-up area, and silently prepared everything before the jump.
In the American spectators in the stands, there are still people who have expectations for Ed Gordon, hoping that he can counterattack in the last attempt and hope that a miracle can happen!
Some silently drew a cross on their chest, while others closed their eyes, clasped their hands into fists, and began to pray to God. At this time, perhaps only God can save Ed Gordon and allow him to work a miracle.
However, these expectant glances seem to be in the throat for Ed Gordon now.
He really has no faith!
Run-up, jump-up, take-off, landing, Ed Gordon still completed all the movements very seriously.
And the result was just as he imagined, all this was just a futile struggle!
There are no miracles!
……
Seeing Ed Gordon complete the last test jump, Chen Qiang was finally convinced that the gold medal in the long jump was in hand!
Participating in the long jump event for the first time, winning a gold medal and breaking the world record, Chen Qiang's performance was perfect!
"Well done, another Olympic gold medal, and two world records!" Coach Song burst into tears with excitement again, he hugged Chen Qiang's arm, and he couldn't help but tremble. He was so excited!
"Two world records!" Chen Qiang was slightly stunned, and then remembered that in addition to the long jump, he also broke the 200-meter world record in the 200-meter rematch just now!
"Breaking the world record in two events in one day, even I feel that I am really strong!"
