In the afternoon, the semi-finals of rice were held, and Mayor Shen did not come to watch the game in person because of his busy government affairs.

The rematch of meters, the level of participating athletes has indeed improved a lot, but because these two competitions are carried out continuously, there is no rest time in between, so when the 200-meter rematch is over, the runners who also run meters basically choose to abstain from the 400-meter race, even if a few people insist on standing on the 400-meter field, they are all thrown far away in the end, and they are finally eliminated.

The physical fitness of ordinary athletes cannot withstand such a continuous, high-intensity competition.

Although Chen Qiang also has to participate in the competition of two events, after all, his strength is several levels higher than others, and he still easily advanced to the finals.

The 200-meter semi-final can advance to the final after running 24 seconds, while the 400-meter final can still be advanced as long as you run 56 seconds.

At that time in China, the relatively high level of track and field was in Shanghai and Northeast China, and the Shanghai team did not participate in the North China Games, which made the comprehensive level of track and field athletes in North China drop a notch. And the athletes in the Northeast, since the fall of the Northeast, their training has also been greatly affected, so their strength has also dropped a notch.

This also makes the strength of track and field athletes in the North China Games decline to a certain extent compared with the one in Jinan two years ago.

The opponent's strength has declined, and Chen Qiang doesn't need too good results to be promoted.

……

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Chen Qiang had to face the finals of the three events, the meter and the triple jump.

The triple jump is held in the same format as the Los Angeles Olympics, with no preliminary rounds, only one final, and all athletes perform the first three attempts, with the top four finishers advancing to the next three attempts.

The reason why the Los Angeles Olympics used this format is because there are relatively few competitors, and there is no need for a preliminary round.

However, in the North China Games in Qingdao, more than 20 athletes participated in the triple jump competition, which could have added a preliminary round, but the organizers of the event obviously did not adapt measures to local conditions, but simply copied the competition system of the Los Angeles Olympics.

People in this era are like this, they have to learn everything from foreigners, but whenever foreigners do this, whether it is suitable for China or not, they will directly copy it.

The triple jump competition officially starts at 8 a.m., and at the same time, on the track, the final of the 200m is about to begin.

Chen Qiang stood on the starting line, looked at the sand pit not far away, and found that some athletes had already started to try jumping.

"Sure enough, as I expected, I was going to abstain from the first attempt." Chen Qiang shook his head helplessly, and then focused his attention on the runway.

In the long jump sand pit in the distance, the players are going on the field one by one to complete their first attempt.

After a contestant completed the test jump, the referee looked at the list of contestants in his hand and said, "Next, Shandong team, Chen Qiang!" ”

After the referee shouted, he didn't see Chen Qiang walking up to the running area.

"Next, Shandong team, Chen Qiang." The referee shouted again.

"Chen Qiang didn't come, he competed in the 200-meter final on the track." Someone spoke.

The referee looked at the 200-meter starting line and did see Chen Qiang standing there, preparing for the 200-meter final.

The referee shook his head helplessly, then looked at his watch, raised his head, and then shouted: "Next, Shandong team, Chen Qiang!" ”

Everyone knows that this is just a symbolic shouting of Chen Qiang's name, at this time Chen Qiang is preparing for the 200-meter final on the track, and it is impossible to participate in the triple jump.

Finally, the referee said: "Chen Qiang of Shandong team, abstain from the first attempt!" ”

No one came, isn't it just abstention!

On the rostrum, several Qingdao officials showed smug smiles.

"Chen Qiang really could only choose one of the two, he gave up the triple jump competition!"

At the same time, at the 200-meter starting line, the starter gave instructions for the start:

"Ready, ready!"

The starter raised the starting pistol in his hand, and after a single shot, the finalists rushed forward.

This was the first race of the day, and Chen Qiang's physical reserves at this time were also very abundant, so after the start, he began to exert his strength. By the time he completed the 100-meter corner in front of him and entered the straight, he had already taken a lead of more than a second.

The strength of the domestic players is still too weak, several grades lower than Chen Qiang, Chen Qiang just exerts a little, and they are already powerless to resist.

In the cheers of the audience, Chen Qiang crossed the finish line without any suspense, won the championship, and won the 200-meter sprint championship.

The competition system of the North China Games is still a championship system, the champion, runner-up and third place do not have medals, but calculate the score according to the ranking, Chen Qiang won this championship, can give the Shandong team 5 points.

Chen Qiang won the 200-meter championship, which made the audience of more than 15,000 people around him completely boil, but on the rostrum, some officials in Qingdao were not very happy.

"There is no way to do this, after all, Chen Qiang's strength is too strong." Someone spoke.

"Yes, and this is a competition today, Chen Qiang's physical fitness should be relatively good, and it is natural to win a championship."

"This is a champion in the plan, and Mayor Shen will definitely understand."

"The next 400 meters is the key, I don't believe that Chen Qiang can win two championships in a row."

"In fact, Chen Qiang has no way to participate in the final of the triple jump, which is already considered a success."

Several officials in Qingdao comforted each other.

However, at this time, they were surprised to find that Chen Qiang left the runway and walked towards the long jump sand pit.

"What is Chen Qiang going to do?"

"Could it be that Chen Qiang is going to participate in the triple jump competition?"

Everyone was amazed!

……

The reporters had already rushed to the runway, intending to interview Chen Qiang, but Chen Qiang trotted away, leaving a group of reporters looking at each other.

Chen Qiang walked to the sand pit of the triple jump.

In the first attempt of the triple jump, Chen Qiang was participating in the 200-meter final, so he missed the first attempt and was counted as a waiver by the referee. Now that the 200-meter final is over and the 400-meter final has not yet begun, Chen Qiang plans to complete a test jump first.

There's a lot to do after the 200m final, and a lot of preparation to do before the 400m starts. After all, this is the finals, and the related affairs will be more complicated, and the time between them is enough for Chen Qiang to complete a test jump.

Soon, the first round of the test jump ended, and the second round began, after several players completed the test jump, it was Chen Qiang's turn.

"Next, Shandong team, Chen Qiang!" The referee called out Chen Qiang's name again, and then looked at the running area, he didn't know if Chen Qiang would abstain again.

This time, Chen Qiang stood up and came to the running area of the triple jump.

"Look, that's Chen Qiang!"

The eyes of everyone at the scene focused on Chen Qiang.

……

On the rostrum, several officials from Qingdao City also saw Chen Qiang appear in the triple jump.

"Chen Qiang really wants to participate in the triple jump competition! I thought he had given up the triple jump. ”

"The 400-meter final over there should be about to start, and Chen Qiang has given up the 400-meter sprint."

"That's right, the triple jump here is the second jump, and you have to jump four times later, and when Chen Qiang completes the next four test jumps, the 400 meters are all finished."

"I think Chen Qiang is really smart, he has to give up a project anyway, so giving up the 400 meters, which consumes more physical energy, is definitely better than giving up the triple jump."

"Whether it's the triple jump or 400 meters, in short, Chen Qiang has one less championship, at least our goal has been achieved!"

Several officials in Qingdao whispered.

At this time, Chen Qiang also started his trial jump.

Chen Qiang's triple jump score in the Olympic Games was 15.76 meters, and the Chinese record in the triple jump was only 14.36 meters in the entire Republic of China period, which was created by Peking athlete Wang Shilin in 1936.

In this year's North China Games, Wang Shilin also participated in the competition, and he signed up for the long jump, triple jump and high jump, but in today's triple jump competition, Wang Shilin did not play well.

Another player from Beiping, Situ Guang, performed quite well, jumping a good score of 13.62 meters on the first attempt.

For the triple jumpers of this era, being able to jump 13.6 meters is already the top result in China. If it is according to the standard results of later athletes, the triple jump of 13.6 meters can also reach the national second-level athlete.

Track and field athletes during the Republic of China period can reach the level of national second-class athletes in later generations, and they are the best in China.

So Chen Qiang estimated that the national record of the Republic of China is only 14.36 meters, so he only needs to jump a score of about 14.4 meters to be able to lock the championship in advance. Not only in the North China Games, but also in the entire Republic of China period, a 14.4-meter score was unsurpassed.

Just jumping 14.4 meters, Chen Qiang thinks it's too simple. Even if he has just finished a 200-meter final, his physical energy has been exhausted, and a mere 14.4 meters will not be difficult for him.

Chen Qiang took a deep breath and began to run, followed by a one-foot jump, a stride jump, and a final jump.

Maybe it's because he only needs to jump 14.4 meters, Chen Qiang's jump seems very relaxed, and he doesn't care too much about many details.

This time he tried to jump, Chen Qiang used a standing up style.

"Is this the world's most advanced push-up lift?"

"I heard that except for the Japanese, only Chen Qiang has mastered this technique!"

There was a chorus of exclamations among the athletes.

Athletes in the eastern part of the U.S. feel that the upright flight is the most advanced technique, and this is especially true for Chinese athletes.

Then, people noticed that Chen Qiang's landing point in the sand pit had exceeded a large distance of 14 meters.

"It has to be about 14.5 meters!" Someone spoke.

Chen Qiang stood up from the sand pit, looked back at the traces in the sand pit, and determined that his jump had exceeded 14.4 meters, and even reached 14.5 meters.

"The gold medal in the triple jump is secure!" Chen Qiang said secretly in his heart, and then he walked out of Shachi directly, and walked towards the runway without looking back.

He's going to compete in the 400m final!

……

Chen Qiang left the sand pit very chic and walked in the direction of the track, at this time the other athletes had not yet reacted to what was going on, even the referee was stunned, the results here had not been measured, the athlete slipped away, the referee had never seen such a situation.

"The results haven't been announced yet, why did Chen Qiang leave?"

"Chen Qiang is going in the wrong direction, he is running over there, and the waiting area for long jumpers is here."

"Are you in a hurry to go to the bathroom?"

"If you go to the toilet, it's closer to this side!"

Everyone looked confused, and it wasn't until Chen Qiang walked to the starting point of the 400-meter dash that everyone understood.

"Chen Qiang is going to participate in the 400-meter final!"

……

On the rostrum, those Qingdao officials all had a confused expression.

Originally, everyone thought that Chen Qiang would inevitably give up the competition in one event, but they didn't expect Chen Qiang to use the gap between the 200-meter final and the 400-meter final to complete a triple jump test jump.

It's still possible!

"Chen Qiang, what are you going to do? Are you going to run 400 meters again? ”

"In this case, the triple jump will not be jumped? I have to jump four times in the future, do you just give up? ”

"I thought Chen Qiang gave up the 400m just now, but I didn't expect him to give up the triple jump."

Most of these officials are laymen in sports, and they feel that since the triple jump competition has not yet ended, and there are still four attempts to jump, Chen Qiang is now running 400 meters, which is equivalent to giving up the triple jump competition.

After all, in the consciousness of these officials, sports competitions have a beginning and an end, and since they have participated, they must be finished. If you slip halfway, you will give up. They didn't know that in the rules of the triple jump, only one best score was competed, and one best result could be won even if all the other five attempts failed.

They didn't know that Chen Qiang's test jump just now had already locked the championship in advance.

I have to say that Chinese sports at that time were too backward, and there were too many people who didn't understand the rules of the game.

"You say, is Chen Qiang going to run 400 meters and then jump again, just like he ran 200 meters just now." Someone asked.

"After running 400 meters, I must be tired, how can I have the strength to jump again." The other spoke.

Others praised the man for making sense.

At this time, the runners who participated in the 400-meter final also took to the track, and the race was about to begin.

……

Next to the sand pool of the triple jump, the referee shouted again: "Next, Chen Qiang of the Shandong team!" ”

After the referee shouted, he looked directly at the starting point of 400 meters in the distance, and found that Chen Qiang was there, so he didn't ask any more, and said bluntly: "Shandong team Chen Qiang, abstain from the third attempt!" ”

This time, the referee's face did not show any unusual expression, but was a little accustomed to it. Because Chen Qiang's attempt just now was 14.51 meters, such a result has already locked the championship in advance, so even if Chen Qiang chooses to abstain from the remaining four attempts, the referee will not feel strange.

Anyway, they've already won, so there's no need to fight anymore.

At the same time, on the track, the starter also signaled the athletes to prepare.

After a gunshot, Chen Qiang quickly started and began to accelerate.

The previous 200-meter final and triple jump finals did not have much impact on Chen Qiang's physical fitness, and the intensity of the domestic 400-meter competition was also very low. In this 400-meter final, Chen Qiang coped with it with ease.

According to Mayor Shen's plan, he wanted to use the non-stop continuous competition to wear down Chen Qiang's physical fitness and prevent him from achieving good results.

However, with Chen Qiang's strength, participating in such a competition is like an adult athlete, going to participate in the competition of junior high school students, even if it is a few games in a row, he can still win.

These athletes who participated in the 400-meter final were indeed not much stronger than the junior high school students of later generations.

Among the junior high school students in later generations, there are many sports school students who have undergone professional training and can reach the national second-level athletes, and there are even super geniuses like Liu Xiang, who are 16-year-old athletes who meet the standards.

In China in the thirties, there were very few adults who could reach the national second-level athletes in the 400-meter sprint, and perhaps these athletes who came to participate in the North China Games were really not as good as the junior high school students of the sports schools in later generations.

As a result, the result of the competition was also obvious, the adult athletes bullied junior high school students, and there was no suspense in the whole game, Chen Qiang led all the way to the finish line and won his second championship in this North China Games.

The reason why it is the second championship is because the triple jump competition is not over yet!

……

On the rostrum, those officials in Qingdao have been paying attention to Chen Qiang's movements.

"In the 400 meters, Chen Qiang won again, and he has already won two championships."

"How do I think, Chen Qiang's doesn't seem to consume much physical strength."

"Yes, you see him running 400 meters, his face is not red and his heart is not beating, and he doesn't want to work hard at all."

"Fortunately, it's just two championships, and the triple jump champion was not taken away by Chen Qiang."

"Not necessarily, you see, the triple jump competition is not over yet!"

The eyes of several officials were focused on the triple jump arena again, and at this time, the fourth round of the test jump had already begun, and according to the rules, only four competitors advanced to the next three test jumps, including Chen Qiang, who finished first.

"Next, Shandong team, Chen Qiang!" After the referee shouted, he found that Chen Qiang did not come.

"Shandong team Chen Qiang, abstained from the fourth attempt!" The referee announced

The Qingdao officials on the rostrum suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

The remaining three contestants quickly completed their respective test jumps, and then it was Chen Qiang's turn to appear.

Chen Qiang still did not appear in the triple jump.

The referee had to announce again: "Shandong team, Chen Qiang, abstain from the fifth attempt!" ”

On the rostrum, several Qingdao officials had a deep smile on their faces.

"I have long said that the 400-meter race consumes too much physical energy from Chen Qiang, and he can't continue to participate in the triple jump!"

"It seems that Chen Qiang has really given up the triple jump!"

"Don't worry, there is still the last jump, if Chen Qiang doesn't go to the last jump, then he really gave up."

……

The last round of the triple jump.

At present, Chen Qiang's results are the best, so he is also the last person to try to jump, and after the first three people have finished jumping, the referee symbolically shouted Chen Qiang's name, and then announced again that Chen Qiang abstained.

"Shandong team Chen Qiang, the sixth attempt jump, abstained!"

After the referee was announced, the Qingdao officials on the rostrum began to applaud one after another.

"Chen Qiang gave up the triple jump competition, and our strategy succeeded, allowing Chen Qiang to win one less championship!"

"Mayor Shen should be on the other side of the trestle now, tell Mayor Shen the good news!"

These poor officials still haven't figured out the rules of the triple jump, and they don't know that Chen Qiang has won the triple jump championship. They only regarded Chen Qiang's next four attempts as abstaining, which was equivalent to losing the game.

However, only a dozen seconds later, the referee announced another news.

"In the triple jump event, the champion is the Shandong team, Chen Qiang!"

At this moment, those officials were dumbfounded.

"What's the situation? How is the champion of the triple jump Chen Qiang? Did I hear me wrong? ”

"Chen Qiang didn't jump at all, we all saw it, how did he become a champion? didn't jump to the championship, could it be that Chen Qiang partnered with the referee and cheated! ”

"No, Chen Qiang seems to have jumped once, the one he jumped after the 200-meter race."

"Can you win the championship with one jump? Is this the rule for the triple jump? ”

"Isn't it supposed to be every time? Didn't everyone else jump every time? ”

This group of people who don't know the rules of the triple jump are in a daze at this time.

They are even less aware that in the face of absolute strength, any small tricks are useless.

Recently, I've stayed up too late, some sleepy, more than 5,600 words, a short and capable chapter, ask for monthly ticket support!
