Chapter 184: Long Jump Forbidden
Jesse Owens seemed very excited, with a score of 7.94 meters, which not only allowed him to successfully stand on the first place, but also made him feel that he was now in a moment of explosive form, and he could easily jump over the 8-meter mark in the next attempt.
Jesse Owens, an athlete with a body flow, once the state comes up, can be described as a person blocking and killing, and a Buddha blocking and killing Buddha.
In the future, there will be some muscle stick type athletes in many sports, who are as fierce as a tiger when they are in good shape, and as cowardly as a dog when they are in poor condition. Jesse Owens is that type of athlete, but a super-strengthened version.
Jesse Owens' physical fitness is fantastic, he is naturally very good when he is in good form, and even if he is not in good shape, he will not have a bad result. It can be said that Jesse Owens, who is in good shape, must be as fierce as a tiger, and Jesse Owens, who is not in good shape, even if he is like a dog, must be at the level of a Tibetan mastiff, a pitbull or Kasro, and he must not be a husky.
In fact, many of the black athletes of that era were like Jesse Owens.
After all, in the thirties, almost all sports were still in their infancy, and sports skills were not perfect, and it was common for athletes to rely purely on physical fitness to fight for results.
Moreover, the reason why black athletes can shine in track and field is because of their outstanding physical fitness, and every black person engaged in track and field is the kind of muscle mallet whose physical fitness can crush white people. To put it another way, with the discrimination against blacks at the time, black athletes would not have been given the opportunity to compete in sports if they could not do better than white athletes. A black man and a white man, if the grades are about the same, will definitely choose a white man over a black man.
……
At this time, Jesse Owens felt that the good state had been possessed, and he felt more and more confident, and he looked at Chen Qiang who was walking into the running area with a hot eye, and the aura of challenge could be felt from afar.
"Chen Qiang, I hope I can defeat one of the strongest you, don't let me down!" Jesse Owens said secretly in his heart.
At this time, Jesse Owens really hopes that Chen Qiang will jump out of a good result, for him, defeating Chen Qiang at the peak of his state can prove that he is the world's No. 1!
Chen Qiang walked up to the running area, and at this time, he had a solemn expression on his face, staring intently at the sand pit in front of him. In Chen Qiang's mind, he was constantly reminding himself of the technical details that he should pay attention to.
Chen Qiang has already gone through four test jumps, and these four try jumps are also a process of four adjustments. Every time Chen Qiang tries to jump, his performance will improve, which also confirms that he continues to improve his technical details.
In the fourth attempt just now, although Chen Qiang failed, he also gained experience, and when he walked down the sand pool, he already knew where his problem was and how to adjust next.
Now in the fifth attempt, Chen Qiang is even more ambitious.
Before Chen Qiang took a deep breath and began to run, in the blink of an eye, Chen Qiang's speed had already increased, his feet were on the springboard, and then he jumped up violently, like a falcon, soaring into the air.
Chen Qiang's take-off height is very good, which allows him to perform a three-and-a-half-step walking move in the air perfectly.
I saw that Chen Qiang's body drew a perfect arc in the air, and the moment he landed, the corner of his eye secretly glanced at the mark next to the sand pool, but the number "8" had already flashed from Chen Qiang's sight.
"It's 8 meters!" Chen Qiang was overjoyed, but his follow-up actions were not affected in the slightest, and he still completed the landing action perfectly.
"Wow!" The audience let out a cry of surprise, followed by applause from all directions.
"8 meters, Chen Qiang jumped 8 meters!"
"The first 8m was born in today's race!"
"It's the first time I've seen someone jump over 8 meters."
"Of course, the European long jump record is only 7.90 meters, and now there are only two people in the world who can jump 8 meters, one is Chen Qiang, and the other is the black man who jumped 7.94 meters just now!"
In the arena, after careful measurement by the surveyor, the referee quickly announced Chen Qiang's result: "8.04 meters!" ”
Once again, there was applause and cheers.
"8.04 meters, you should be able to lock the championship, right?"
"Not necessarily, the world record holder in the long jump is the black man just now."
"World record, how far is that?"
"If I'm not mistaken, it seems to be 8.13 meters!"
"8.13 meters? I heard you right, someone can jump that far! ”
"Don't forget that guy is a, are similar to gorillas, and gorillas naturally jump farther than humans!"
While the audience was talking, they did not forget to ridicule black people.
The voices in the audience were chaotic, and Jesse Owens certainly couldn't hear the audience's disdain and ridicule for him, and he was still immersed in that exuberant state of mind.
Next to him, German athlete Luce Lang walked up and talked to Jesse Owens.
"Jesse, that Chinese is really powerful, he jumped 8.04 meters, which is already second only to your world record of 8.13 meters." Luce Lang spoke.
"I'll beat him!" Jesse Owens said confidently.
Luce Lang smiled and nodded, then spoke, "Jesse, I think there are a few key points that you should pay attention to. ”
Luce Lang began to put himself in the shoes of a third party and give advice to Jesse Owens.
There are many athletes in this era, who are really sportsmanlike, and "friendship first, competition second" was not a slogan at that time, but what many athletes were really doing.
For example, the German player Luce Lang, who is also a long jumper, is completely a rival with Jesse Owens, but he will still point out the shortcomings in Jesse Owens' trial jumps and help Jesse Owens improve. Perhaps in Luce Lang's eyes, victory or defeat does not matter, he really came to the Olympics to show the Olympic spirit. And at the Olympics of that era, there were many people who helped their opponents.
As a bystander, Luce Lang has a different perspective from Jesse Owens, and it is for this reason that the advice he gave to Jesse Owens was not noticed by Jesse Owens. And after listening to Luce Lang's advice, Jesse Owenston had a feeling of empowerment.
At this point, the final round of jumps begins.
Bob Clarke, the American player who appeared first, jumped 7.57m and completely missed the medal.
Next up is Germany's Wilhelm Resim, who will have to jump at least 7.87m to win a medal, surpassing his compatriot Luce Lang. This was a bit difficult for him, and although he tried his best, he only managed to jump 7.73m in the end, ranking fifth.
The third player is Japan's Naoto Tajima, who currently best 7.74m in fourth place, and if he wants to go further, he will also need to surpass 7.87m.
In the official competition, Naoto Tajima never jumped 7.87 meters, in order to surpass himself, he chose a more unrestrained jump, but ended in a foul. Naoto Tajima also bid farewell to the Olympic long jump.
At this time, the top three places were also decided, Germany's Luce Lang is temporarily in third place with 7.87m, and if he wants to win the second place, he needs to surpass Jesse Owens's 7.97m, and if he wins, he will have to surpass Chen Qiang's 8.04m. Both of these results were impossible for him, as he had never jumped this far before.
Faced with a result that exceeded his limits, Luce Lang could only choose to give it a go, and he also chose a very extreme jump, which meant that he had to take more risks for this, and the probability of failing the jump would be much greater.
Sure enough, after Luce Lang took off, the referee raised the red flag, which meant that Luce Lang's last attempt failed.
The voices of disappointment from the audience rang out all around, but then the voices turned into applause. Luce Lang's attempt was a failure, but he finished third and won a bronze medal for Germany. To be able to win a medal and win glory for Germany is already satisfying.
At this time, there are only two players left who did not appear, namely Jesse Owens and Chen Qiang, and the next attempt of Jesse Owens will be related to the ownership of the championship, if Jesse Owens jumps 8.04 meters, then the final champion is still in suspense, if Jesse Owens does not jump 8.04 meters, Chen Qiang will win the championship in advance.
Jesse Owens took the track with a determined pace. He's in great form, he's already capable of jumping 8.04m, and Luce Lang has just given him some advice, which has made him even more confident.
"The long jump is what I do best, and I'm going to decide this championship!" The persistence in Jesse Owens' eyes flashed, and he took a deep breath before starting to run.
Jesse Owens rushed to the springboard, slammed his force, and his body soared into the air, his body flew through the air, it was still the simplest squatting position, but the height and distance of the flight were better than other flying positions!
In the next second, Jesse Owens landed in the sand pool, and the 8-meter marker had already been left behind him.
"It's more than 8 meters!"
"Is it more than 8.04m?"
"I don't know, I can't see clearly, I have to wait for the referee to announce it."
The spectators were amazed, and then immediately fell silent, watching nervously as the surveyor walked into the sand pit and waited for the referee to announce the results.
The surveyor was also cautious, and under the witness of the referee, he repeatedly measured the results.
Finally, the referee announced the result of Jesse Owens' last attempt: "8.06m!" ”
Hearing this result, Jesse Owens shouted excitedly. Although this did not reach his world record of 8.13m, it has already surpassed Chen Qiang's 8.04m, and for him, the championship is close at hand.
The audience also erupted in a riotous exclamation.
"8.06m, Jesse Owens surpasses Chen Qiang!"
"After all, the black man is the world record holder, and since he can jump 8.13m, it should be easy to jump 8.06m."
"8.06 meters, this should be the champion, right?"
"Not necessarily, the Chinese still have one last attempt to jump!"
"That Chinese has never jumped out of 8.06 meters, right? I think it's going to be hard for him to turn things around. ”
People's eyes all looked at Chen Qiang again.
8.06 meters, Chen Qiang has never jumped such a result in the competition, but in the training space, 8.06 meters is not Chen Qiang's limit!
At this time, Chen Qiang's expression was serious, and Jesse Owens' 8.06 meters had forced Chen Qiang to the edge of the cliff.
"The last time I jumped 8.04m, there was still room for improvement on the technical level, and if I had to adjust it, I would have a lot of confidence that it would exceed 8.06m!"
"If I exceed 8.06m, I can win the gold medal in the long jump at this Olympics, but the world record of 8.13m may not be broken. If it is a normal jump, it is not very likely to jump 8.13m. ”
"Just winning the gold medal at the Olympics without breaking Jesse Owens' world record, then Jesse Owens is still the farthest jumper in the world, and I can't really beat Jesse Owens."
"In my current state, if I want to skip 8.13m, that's the only way to do it. But that method is not only dangerous, but also has a low success rate. ”
"If I jumped, I could have won an Olympic gold medal with just a few adjustments, but I couldn't break the world record. If you use that method, you won't have a high success rate, but if you succeed, you can definitely break the world record of 8.13 meters! ”
At this time, Chen Qiang was faced with a choice, whether to be safe and win a gold medal in the long jump, or to be unrestrained and bet on a world record.
"Fight! As an athlete, I should have challenged myself, and I shouldn't have flinched at this time! I want Olympic gold medals and world records! Thinking of this, Chen Qiang decided to boldly try that dangerous technical move.
I saw Chen Qiang walk onto the field, adjust his breathing, and start running.
"So fast!" Jesse Owens on the sidelines sighed softly, he had noticed that this time Chen Qiang's running speed was much faster than before.
With an inhalation, Chen Qiang ran to the springboard, but to everyone's surprise, at the moment of jumping, Chen Qiang's body suddenly had a tendency to brake.
"What's going on? It's not High Jump! Jesse Owens was shocked.
Braking pedal jumping is a technique that converts the horizontal speed obtained from the run-up to vertical speed, while in the long jump, athletes do not pursue vertical speed, so no one uses the technique of braking jump.
However, this time, Chen Qiang used braking technology in the long jump.
Jesse Owens has not yet reacted to why Chen Qiang would use braking techniques in the start of the long jump, but Chen Qiang has already taken off at this time. Due to the braking technology mixed in the jump, Chen Qiang had a good vertical speed in this test jump, so he jumped very high.
I saw Chen Qiang rise into the air, and then he made a movement that shocked everyone, bowed his head and chest, hugged his knees and abdomen, and his body rotated in the air!
"What is this!"
"My God!"
"Front flip!"
At this moment, whether it was the audience, athletes, coaches, or the referees on the scene, everyone looked at Chen Qiang with an extremely frightened gaze, and many people even opened their mouths, their eyes full of incredulity.
At this time, Chen Qiang had already completed a front flip, then opened his body and landed in the sand pool.
"It worked!" Before Chen Qiang got up from the sand pool, he began to yell loudly to vent the excitement in his heart.
Chen Qiang was excited not because he had a very good result in this test jump, but because he successfully completed this test jump.
Because Chen Qiang used a front flip this time!
In the 70s of the twentieth century, athletes used to use front flips, which is a gymnastic type of track and field technique. However, after the emergence of this technique, it was quickly banned by the IAAF, and athletes were not allowed to use it in competitions, because the IAAF considered this technique too dangerous to promote. Therefore, the front flip is definitely a "forbidden technique" in the long jump.
As for the effect of the front flip in the air, it is naturally better than any kind of air position. The same is the long jump, if someone turns an extra heel when they are in the air, they will naturally have an extra heel distance when they land.
Later generations of sports scholars have long verified the effect of frontflip through scientific calculations.
In the take-off phase, the front flip type takes off because it needs to do a somersault, so the instant center of the ground is tilted forward. Other take-off techniques, whether squatting, standing up or walking, what needs to be done at the moment of take-off is to maintain the balance of the body in the air, and this back and forth makes the front flip take off, which can increase the distance by 5 cm in other stages.
In the air stage, the body is in an upright posture when using the upright type or the walking type to take off, so that the body is subjected to greater air resistance, and the front flip type takes off the air needs to do the action of the group body forward flip, which reduces the resistance of the air, and at the same time, the front flip type will have a greater take-off speed and jump angle, so the use of the front flip is the technology of taking off, and the distance of jumping about 8 meters can be increased by 5 centimeters.
The last is the landing, which is better explained, the landing of the front flip is one more heel than other take-off techniques, and due to inertia, the athlete's body will continue to rotate forward, which makes the athlete's body center of gravity landing more forward. At this stage, the front flip can add 10 to 15 centimeters of distance.
In other words, from take-off, take-off to landing, you can jump 20 to 25 centimeters more than other take-off postures with a front flip!
And this kind of front-flip take-off is also Chen Qiang's killer feature.
Chen Qiang had only practiced this kind of aerial technique in the training space before, and the number of times he practiced it was not very much, after all, this was an unconventional and dangerous technical action, so Chen Qiang did not plan to use this technique as his regular weapon.
But in today's game, facing Jesse Owens, Chen Qiang had to use this unconventional technique, because in Chen Qiang's arsenal, only a front flip can create a miraculous result!
Theoretically, the front flip technique can jump an extra 20 to 25 centimeters, but Chen Qiang has not practiced enough and is not proficient in mastering this technique, so Chen Qiang does not expect to be able to jump more than 20 centimeters. can make Chen Qiang jump more than ten centimeters, and Chen Qiang is already content.
Chen Qiang walked out of the sand pool excitedly, and everyone on the scene had not yet woken up from the shock.
"Is this a long jump? Is it really the long jump I just saw? ”
"Can you still pick such a long jump? It's nothing short of acrobatics! ”
"I've seen squatting in the air, walking in the air, standing up in the air, front somersault in the air, it's the first time I've seen it!"
"Oh my God, this has changed my perception of the long jump!"
It is no exaggeration to say that Chen Qiang's attempt to jump has subverted everyone's perception of the long jump.
Jesse Owens looked at Chen Qiang, although he guessed that Chen Qiang might jump a very good result this time, but he definitely didn't expect that Chen Qiang would use a front flip to take off.
This can no longer be described as "new technology", this unprecedented innovation, and this bold attempt, is completely beyond the scope of "technology", which is more like an athlete's understanding of a certain sport!
Jesse Owens originally felt that his understanding of the long jump was already very deep, and although he only used the simplest squat to take off, it was a return to basics. It is precisely because he has an extremely backward understanding of the sport of the long jump that he uses the squat to take off and use it to the extreme.
But at this time, Jesse Owens found that his understanding of the long jump was still too superficial, and if it were him, he would never have thought of this kind of front flip technique, and even if he thought of it, he didn't dare to try it.
Immediately after, Jesse Owens looked at the trail in the sand pool, the edge of which was clearly more than 8.10 meters away.
"Is my long jump world record going to be lost?" Jesse Owens felt a sense of foreboding rise in his heart.
……
The surveyor, like everyone else, was completely stunned on the spot, and when Chen Qiang walked out of the sand pit for a long time, the surveyor was still reminiscing about Chen Qiang's frontflip-style airflip posture just now.
The referee came to his senses earlier than the surveyor, and he found that the surveyor was still stunned, and immediately urged: "Go and measure!" ”
The surveyor woke up like a dream and hurried into the sand pit.
All eyes were on the referee again, and they waited for the referee to announce the final result.
After a long time, the referee finally spoke.
"8.17m!"
A new long jump world record has been born!
