Olympic Stadium in Berlin.

In addition to the Japanese team's coaching staff, there were three athletes dressed as Naoto Tajima, Masao Harada and Kenichi Oshima, who were sent by the Japanese team to compete in the triple jump, and all three of them advanced to the final of the triple jump.

Before World War II, Japan was always the leader of the triple jump event, even the Americans, the strength of the triple jump event is not as good as the Japanese, the Japanese have won three consecutive Olympic gold medals in the triple jump event, and held the triple jump world record for more than ten years, which is enough to prove their strength.

But Chen Qiang's birth changed all that, at least four years ago at the Los Angeles Olympics, handing Japan a painful defeat and a stunner when Tadahei Minami had already broken the world record. Forcibly snatched the gold medal in the triple jump from the mouth of the Japanese.

Perhaps stimulated by Chen Qiang, in the past four years, Japanese long jumpers have also tried their courage and trained hard every day, with the aim of regaining the Olympic gold medal in the triple jump from Chen Qiang.

And now, the Japanese team has finally waited for the moment of revenge, the Berlin Olympics, they want to be ashamed!

At this time, the Japanese team also learned that Chen Qiang won the 110-meter hurdles championship and broke the world record.

"Chen Qiang has just broken the world record in the 110m hurdles, which shows that he is in very good shape today." The head coach of the Japanese team said with a sad face.

"Yes, Chen Qiang, who is in very good condition, maybe he will have an amazing performance in the next triple jump competition!" Kenichi Oshima spoke, and at this time he seemed to remember that scene four years ago.

At the Los Angeles Olympics four years ago, Kenichi Oshima also competed in the triple jump, and witnessed Chen Qiang beat Tadahei Minami in the final jump, taking away the gold medal that should have belonged to the Japanese team. And that game also caused a serious psychological shadow to Kenichi Oshima, and every time he saw Chen Qiang, he had a feeling of palpitations.

"Oshima-senpai, I think you're too worried. Chen Qiang may have been very powerful four years ago, but in the past four years, we Japanese athletes have also made great progress! Besides, Chen Qiang is no longer the world record holder, the current world record holder is the Australian Jack Metcalfe, I think our main target should not be on Chen Qiang, but should pay more attention to Australians! Masao Harada said.

"Harada-kun, you haven't participated in the Olympics four years ago, and you don't know how powerful Chen Qiang is!" Naoto Tajima, who was next to him, spoke.

Of the three Japanese athletes, only Masao Harada did not compete at the Los Angeles Olympics four years ago. Naoto Tajima, on the other hand, competed in the long jump at the Los Angeles Olympics. At the Berlin Olympics, Naoto Tajima competed in both the long jump and triple jump, and had already lost to Chen Qiang once in the previous long jump competition.

Masao Harada said with a smile: "What, Tajima-kun? Are you scared? ”

Masao Harada and Naoto Tajima are the same age, and both of them are students at Kyoto Imperial University, so they train together on weekdays, so they are more familiar with each other, and joking is a common thing.

Naoto Tajima had a straight face: "Harada-kun, don't underestimate your opponent, not to mention that he is still Chen Qiang!" That's the best athlete in the world! ”

At the same time, in the other direction, someone is also staring at Chen Qiang, who is the world record holder in the triple jump, Jack Metcalfe.

"Chen Qiang!" Jack Metcalfe looked at the exit of the athletes' tunnel again and saw that the Japanese team had already appeared.

"And the Japanese!" Jack Metcalfe clenched his fists.

"The triple jump has been monopolized by the yellow race for the past ten years, and it's time to break this situation!" At this point, Metcalfe can't wait to get on the game as soon as possible.

……

Three Germans made it to the final of the triple jump, so the crowd showed great interest in the competition.

It's just that the triple jump strength of the German players is relatively average, and the strongest one of them can only jump 15 meters, while the other two can't even jump 15 meters.

The strength of other European and American athletes is also similar, even the American athletes, the largest country in track and field, have just jumped 15 meters, and most of the best results of athletes in other European countries are more than 14 meters, such as Britain, France, Italy, Spain, and other traditional European countries, and no athletes even enter the final of the triple jump.

So the gold medal contenders for the triple jump, in addition to world record holders Jack Metcalfe and Chen Qiang, are three Japanese athletes.

The triple jump is Chen Qiang's last event at the Berlin Olympics, and Chen Qiang naturally wants to go all out to present a perfect ending to his Berlin Olympics.

The rules of the triple jump final are the same as those of the long jump final, each person has three attempts, and the top six finishes after the first three jumps will enter the next three attempts. However, since there were 25 competitors in the finals, the first three jumps were very slow, and there were forty or fifty minutes to wait for one round of jumps.

For that type of athlete who comes crazy, this kind of long waiting is not a good thing, the body will cool down because of waiting, and the good state will also dissipate because of waiting. Imagine that there is a 45-minute gap between the two attempts, and no matter how crazy people are, it is time to calm down. This is not winning the first prize of the lottery, it is impossible to be hi for forty or fifty minutes in a row.

But for Chen Qiang, waiting is a good thing, after all, he has just finished the final of the 110-meter hurdles, so the longer waiting time means that Chen Qiang will have more time to recover.

At the beginning of the finals, the first to appear were some unknown cannon fodder players, who barely jumped the 14-meter promotion line in the preliminaries, and when it came to the first attempt of the finals, many people did not even cross the 14-meter mark.

As the athletes appeared in turn, the results gradually improved, from less than 14 meters, to about 14.2 meters, and then to about 14.5 meters, and by the time the American athletes appeared on the stage, the results had increased to 14.7 meters. However, almost everyone knows that these players are not strong enough to challenge for medals.

Japanese athlete Kenichi Oshima appeared on the stage, which was officially the prelude to the triple jump championship.

At the Los Angeles Olympics four years ago, Kenichi Oshima failed in his first two attempts due to nervousness, and only managed to jump in the early 15 meters for the third time. Kenichi Oshima is obviously much stronger today than he was four years ago, and he jumped a good score of 15.07 meters on his first attempt. It was also the first time of the day to exceed 15 meters.

"The Japanese triple jump is really amazing, and the first jump is more than 15 meters!"

"Four years ago, the Japanese almost won the gold medal in the triple jump, and they even broke the world record in the last jump, but they were finally stopped by Chen Qiang, I wonder if Chen Qiang can stop the Japanese from winning the championship this time?"

"Don't forget, there's also an Australian, Jack Metcalfe, who is the world record holder. As long as he plays a little better, we whites will take back the gold medal in the triple jump from the yellow race! ”

While everyone was talking, another Japanese player, Masao Harada, also took to the field.

For the Olympics, Masao Harada is a new face, he is the first time to participate in such a heavyweight competition in the Olympics, but Masao Harada showed excellent physical fitness, he was not nervous, and jumped 15.39 meters on his first attempt!

"15.39 meters, this Japanese is even more powerful than the one just now!"

"There aren't many athletes in Europe who can jump 15 meters, but two of the Japanese team jumped 15 meters, and the Japanese are really dominant in the triple jump!"

Next up is Germany's Heinz, who is also the only man in Germany who can jump 15 meters. The audience cheered for Heinz in unison, and also filled him with buffs, and this time he jumped 15.27m, which was his personal best.

Heinz was thrilled to beat his personal best, feeling worthy of his countrymen who supported him, and although 15.27m was not enough to win a medal, he had already shown his best self. Even if he couldn't advance to the next three test jumps, it could be regarded as an explanation to the audience.

The next to appear is Chen Qiang.

After all, it was the first time to try jumping, Chen Qiang did not use a very unrestrained jumping method, he chose to be conservative, first adapt to the environment of the competition, and find the state of the competition.

So Chen Qiang jumped a score of 15.45 meters.

If it was Chen Qiang four years ago, 15.45 meters might be a result that requires all his strength to be able to jump out, but after four years of training, Chen Qiang's strength has increased greatly, and 15.45 meters is already a conservative result for him.

From this point, it can also be seen that Chen Qiang's strength is much stronger than that of jumpers, for other athletes, even 15 meters can not jump, 15.45 meters is simply as difficult as the sky, but for Chen Qiang, 15.45 meters is not difficult at all.

In fact, from the perspective of future generations, 15.45 meters is indeed not a good result for professional athletes, after all, the national first-class athlete standard line for the triple jump is 15.35 meters, and if you jump 15.45 meters, it is just a first-class athlete who has just reached the standard. This level of participation in national competitions has to be cowardly.

However, in today's competition, the previous best result was only Masao Harada's 15.39 meters, so Chen Qiang's 15.45 meters rose to the first place in one fell swoop.

"Chen Qiang is really still so good, the first time he tried jumping, he easily jumped to 15.45 meters!"

"Don't forget the long jump competition the day before yesterday, Chen Qiang jumped the world record of 8.17 meters, and four years ago, he must have improved a lot in the long jump, so the triple jump will only become stronger, not weaker!"

The crowd in the surrounding stands began to talk. In their opinion, Chen Qiang's long jump is so powerful, the triple jump will definitely not get worse.

As for the Japanese team, they are also observing Chen Qiang's first attempt, or they are the ones who pay the most attention to Chen Qiang.

"Chen Qiang shouldn't have tried his best!" The head coach of the Japanese team spoke.

Next to him, Naoto Tajima nodded approvingly: "Compared to four years ago, Chen Qiang has become stronger again." ”

The head coach of the Japanese team continued: "Tajima-kun, when you appear on the court for a while, don't use a conservative jump, try to fight as much as possible, the opponent is Chen Qiang, if you don't fight, I'm afraid we won't have a chance to win!" ”

……

Next up is world record holder Jack Metcalfe.

In December last year, Jack Metcalfe broke the triple jump world record held by Chen Qiang with a score of 15.78 meters, and Chen Qiang's previous triple jump world record was 15.76 meters, so Jack Metcalfe actually only jumped 2 centimeters more than Chen Qiang, and in the triple jump of that era, 2 centimeters was not a difficult gap to overcome.

Chen Qiang's good form at the Berlin Olympics made Jack Metcalfe feel that the 2 centimeters were not safe at all, and Chen Qiang easily jumped 15.45 meters on his first attempt, which made Jack Metcalfe feel an inexplicable sense of crisis.

"The situation is worse than I imagined, the two Japanese, as well as China's Chen Qiang, have already jumped 15 meters, I can't seek stability, if I want the gold medal, I have to fight!"

Thinking of this, Jack Metcalfe chose an unrestrained jump.

Fortunately, he was very lucky, the trial jump was successful, and he also jumped 15.50 meters, surpassing Chen Qiang's 15.45 meters.

Last to appear is Japan's Naoto Tajima.

Chen Qiang's 15.45m, and Jack Metcalfe's 15.50m, made Naoto Tajima feel a lot of pressure. In this first attempt, he followed the instructions of his coach and did not be conservative in the slightest, but took a very extreme jump.

Naoto Tajima successfully tried the jump, and the traces in the sand pool obviously exceeded 15.50 meters, and the visual inspection had reached about 15.7 meters.

After the surveyor's quick measurements, the referee gave Naoto Tajima's first attempt result: "15.76 meters!" ”

The audience was in an uproar!

"15.76 meters! That Japanese guy was able to jump so far! ”

"With this kind of result, I think the Japanese have already won the championship in advance."

At the Los Angeles Olympics four years ago, Chen Qiang won the gold medal and broke the world record with a score of 15.76 meters, and now Naoto Tajima jumped the same result on his first attempt, almost locking the championship in advance.

Naoto Tajima was excited when he walked out of the sand pool, although he was able to jump 15.76m, but he didn't expect that he could have such a perfect performance in his first attempt. At this time, Naoto Tajima felt that the Olympic gold medal in the triple jump was already beckoning to him.

And the entire Japanese team is also boiling, Naoto Tajima jumped out of such a good result, the Japanese do have the capital to celebrate the championship in advance.

"Hahaha, we won, we finally took back the gold medal in the triple jump! The king of the triple jump is still our Japan! The head coach of the Japanese team had an excited expression on his face, and at the same time, he couldn't help but look at Chen Qiang and Jack Metcalfe not far away.

Jack Metcalfe's expression became more and more solemn, and his score of 15.76m was close to his limit, and considering the ups and downs of the game, Jack Metcalfe could not guarantee that he could jump the same time. At this time, Jack Metcalfe had a hunch that he might not be able to win this Olympic gold medal!

The Japanese head coach is pleased with Jack Metcalfe's appearance, and he likes to see his opponents show nervousness or fear.

Then he looked at Chen Qiang not far away.

Chen Qiang still had an indifferent expression, as if he didn't take the 15.76-meter result in his eyes.

Chen Qiang's indifferent expression made the head coach of the Japanese team feel worried.

"Chen Qiang is so calm, he seems to have no pressure at all, it seems that the score of 15.76 meters may not be able to win him!"

Thinking of this, the head coach of the Japanese team said: "Don't be careless, the game is not over yet, there are still five attempts to jump, we have to make persistent efforts, we must not relax!" ”

……

In the second round of the test jump, after waiting for more than half an hour, more than 20 competitors in front of them finally completed the competition.

Kenichi Oshima stepped up to the run-up area and began his second attempt.

Kenichi Oshima listened to the coach's arrangement and also used a more unrestrained technique, but the benefits and risks coexisted, and a more unrestrained technique meant a greater probability of mistakes, and the result was the same, Kenichi Oshima's second attempt failed.

Masao Harada jumped hard, but his luck was better than that of Kenichi Oshima, who managed to jump 15.45m, improving his time by 6 centimeters and moving up to joint third.

German Heinz's attempt to jump also ended in a foul, and then it was Chen Qiang's turn to appear.

Naoto Tajima jumped 15.76 meters for the first time, which really surprised Chen Qiang, but it also alerted Chen Qiang that it was time to show some real strength.

The first test jump before was just a test for Chen Qiang, but now in the second test jump, he is going to really exert his strength.

After a rhythmic run-up, Chen Qiang successively completed a one-legged jump, a stride jump and a take-off jump, and landed in the air. Immediately afterwards, Chen Qiang used inertia to stand up, and at the same time glanced back at the traces left in the sand pool, and suddenly felt relieved.

"Yes, I've jumped to 15.8 meters!" Chen Qiang walked out of the sand pit with a relaxed face.

The referee stepped forward to measure and quickly gave Chen Qiang's results.

"15.82 meters!"

At 15.82m, a new world record was born!

After realizing this, the audience suddenly burst into continuous applause.

It was also at this moment that everyone in the Japanese team was like ashes!

At the end of the last round of the jump, the Japanese team was still celebrating winning the gold medal in the triple jump.

And before this round of trial jumps was over, the gold medal flew away......
