Chapter 125: Lock the Champion, But It's Not Enough! (Ask for a commuter pass)
Southern Chungpyong was surprisingly depressed.
Standing up in the air is his unique skill, but it inexplicably appeared on Chen Qiang's body, and even if Nanfang Zhongping wanted to break his head, he couldn't figure out what was going on.
But now it seems that this is not the key, the key is that Chen Qiang's use of the technique of standing up and taking off is even better than his results!
Southern Zhongping's upright takeoff only jumped 7.45 meters, while Chen Qiang used the upright take-off and actually jumped 7.52 meters.
Using the same set of techniques, the imitator is more awesome than the inventor, which is too a slap in the face!
"How can this be, Chen Qiang's standing up in the air, not only is his technique very proficient, but even his results are better than me!"
Nanfang Zhongping's worldview has collapsed a little, and the result of Chen Qiang's attempt suddenly made Nanfang Zhongping feel a sense of loss of confidence.
Not only Nanbu Tadahei, but the entire Japanese track and field team, and even Kishi Seiichi in the stands, all had an extremely shocked expression.
Chen Qiang mastered the skill of standing up and taking off, which is already unacceptable to the Japanese team, but Chen Qiang's results are even better, which is simply pouring salt on the wounds of the Japanese team!
Chen Qiang's upright take-off came from later generations, and the up-standing take-off technology of later generations was also formed after countless athletes improved a little bit. From a technical point of view, Chen Qiang's upright take-off is naturally more advanced than the original up-standing take-off of Southern Zhongping, and the details are more perfect, and it is natural to achieve better results than Southern Zhongping.
What's more, Chen Qiang's philosophy in the long jump is different from that of Nanfang Zhongping.
Chen Qiang uses speed technology, and the development of long jump has proved that speed technology is the future development direction of long jump. Nanfang Zhongping has not yet entered the stage of strength technology, and his long jump concept is two generations behind Chen Qiang. This gap in sports philosophy will also be most intuitively reflected in the results.
Competitive sports are different from other fields.
In many fields, it can take years for a new idea to be implemented, many years before it can be put into use, and many years before it is effective.
For example, the electric vehicle industry, from the concept of pure electric vehicles to Tesla's road, it took an unknown number of years, and many people still do not accept pure electric vehicles, they still trust fuel vehicles more. Coupled with the problems of battery electric vehicle range, battery degradation and performance at high latitudes, it will take at least another twenty years to popularize the use of pure electric vehicles.
However, in competitive sports, a new concept emerges and is immediately applied to the game, and whether this new concept works well or not will be immediately tested.
For example, in basketball, when super centers were rampant in the NBA, all teams began to recruit super centers and build teams around super centers; Then the superquantile appeared, and all teams began to pay attention to the superquantile again, and built around the quantile team; As soon as the "Big Three" model was successful, several "Big Three" teams emerged in the second year, and you were embarrassed to play in the playoffs if you didn't form a Big Three; The Warriors' small-ball tactics were born, and soon another group of teams began to learn to play small-ball; When the three-point strategy came along, all the teams started shooting three-pointers again.
This is competitive sports, an advanced concept emerges, there is no need to wait for a long time, today you have a new idea, you can try it tomorrow in the competition, and the results will be immediate.
……
To get back to the point, since Chen Qiang also used a standing flight, Chen Qiang's victory was attributed to the victory of the new long jump technique. People are not talking about Chen Qiang, but about the new upright take-off technique.
"The upright take-off is so powerful, the current three athletes who use the up-standing take-off are all over 7 meters!"
"Someone said before that standing up is the world's most advanced air technology, and I was still skeptical at the time, but now it seems that this conclusion is probably true, and standing up is really the world's most advanced air technology."
"The effect of the upright air is really good, I think in the next Olympic Games, athletes will definitely use the stand up air, and it is only a matter of time before the walking air is eliminated!"
There are also athletes who are indignant and think that if they also know how to stand up and take off, they will definitely be able to jump farther.
The Japanese are wondering where Chen Qiang learned to stand up and take off. And the American audience is discussing the power of standing up and taking off.
In a discussion, two other athletes also appeared one after another, these two also came to play soy sauce, and their results were very poor.
Of the twelve, the last player to take the stage was American Ed Gordon. He represented Team USA at the 1928 Olympics in Amsterdam, when he was just 19 years old when he finished seventh in the long jump and narrowly missed the final.
And the historical Ed Gordon was also the gold medalist in the long jump at the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics.
Ed Gordon is the AAU (North American Collegiate League) and NCAA long jump champion, so he is still somewhat famous in the United States, and people originally favored him to win the championship. It's just that due to the emergence of the upright take-off, Ed Gordon has become unfavorable, and even the Americans feel that Ed Gordon cannot defeat the advanced stand-up take-off technique.
When Ed Gordon came on the court, the applause was not very enthusiastic, which was a bit like the home treatment that American athletes should have.
Ed Gordon was also holding back his anger, and everyone around him was touting the new upright take-off, apparently ignoring his presence.
"What about standing up and taking off? Let me show you how good I am as an American champion! ”
Ed Gordon took a deep breath and then started to run, and when he reached the springboard, he leaped forward ferociously, made a two-and-a-half-step walk in the air, and then like a cannonball, he landed heavily in the sand pit, shoveling countless sand particles out of the sand pit.
"This is already a power-based technique!" Chen Qiang said secretly in his heart.
Ed Gordon's aerial heel and landing technique are also similar to the way of "hitting the ground", which are the characteristics of power technology, which shows that Ed Gordon's legs are very strong when he jumps.
Chen Qiang already has a clear assessment of this long jumper of the times.
The starting jump of Chungpei in the south has not yet appeared the characteristics of power-based technology, that is to say, the current Japanese long jump has not yet entered the stage of power-based technology, and the advantage of Japanese long jump is better long jump technology.
Ed Gordon's take-off has applied power-based technology, so it seems that the American long jump concept has entered the stage of power-based technology from the primitive stage.
In this respect, although the Japanese have better long jump skills than the Americans, the Americans' long jump concepts are more advanced.
This is also the two development directions of sports, one is to take the technical flow, the other is to take the body flow, when the technical flow finds that its technique has reached the limit, it will strengthen the body, and when the body flow finds that its body has been exercised to the extreme, it will strengthen the technique. So the end point of these two development directions is actually the same, which is the combination of technology and body.
Ed Gordon got up from the sand pool, glanced back at the traces in the sand pit, and then yelled excitedly.
The people around can clearly see that the traces in the sand pool have clearly exceeded 7 meters6.
The surveyor quickly made a measurement, and the referee quickly gave Ed Gordon a result of 7.64 meters, surpassing Chen Qiang and Nanfang Zhongping!
Those American spectators in the stands suddenly came to life!
The emergence of the stand-up take-off, and the successive new best results, made these American spectators feel that other athletes who do not know how to use the stand-up take-off technique have been "cooled".
Americans are obsessed with advanced technology. The most advanced is the best, which is in line with the values of the vast majority of Americans.
So how can you win when the technology is behind others?
However, Ed Gordon used a walking stance to jump 7.64 meters, instantly giving the audience hope. They suddenly found that the original advanced upright take-off is not invincible, and the use of the "backward" walking take-off posture can also defeat the "advanced" up-standing take-off!
Nanfang Zhongping's expression became more and more solemn, the first time he tried to jump, he had been surpassed by Chen Qiang, and now he was surpassed by an American player, who was originally the first, fell to the third place.
And the 7.64m mark is really good, which was enough to win a silver medal at the Amsterdam Olympics four years ago. It's a result that takes a bit of luck to jump out. Nanfang Zhongping was also not sure, and in his next five attempts, he surpassed this good score of 7.64 meters.
Chen Qiang is as calm as ever, because Chen Qiang understands the strength of American athletes.
In modern sports, the United States has always been the number one country in sports, and in track and field, the United States has always been the world's number one power.
The biggest advantage of the United States in track and field is that there are a number of black athletes of African descent. These black athletes in the United States can run and jump well, and they are congenitally excellent in race, which belongs to the ancestors to enjoy food, and Chen Qiang has no way to deal with this kind of athlete.
Advanced sports technology can indeed help athletes improve their performance, but when encountering the kind of person whose physical talent is so good that it explodes, no matter how good the technique is, there is no way.
For example, the legendary American athlete Jesse Owens, when he broke the long jump world record, he used the most primitive and simple squatting style to take off, but people are physically talented, and they don't need any walking and standing up at all, just by virtue of their strength, they can still break the world record.
So when Chen Qiang faced this 7.64 meters, he did not panic at all, which should be the normal performance of American athletes.
……
The second round was soon underway, with Sweden's Eric Svensson jumping 7.24m, a step back from his first round of 7.27m, but not a good result.
Nanbu Chungpei's second attempt ended in a foul.
American Ed Gordon jumped 7.64m, and Chen Qiang also jumped 7.52m, both surpassing Nanfang Zhongping's 7.45m. This put a lot of pressure on Nanbu Tadahei, who wanted to jump better, but because of this, he chose a more extreme starting point, and he was fouled.
Then there was the arrival of American's Lambert Reid, whose first attempt ended in a foul and the new up-and-coming aerial technique clearly put him under pressure.
However, Ed Gordon's brilliant play just now gave Lambert Reed confidence.
Lambert Reed, who had beaten Ed Gordon in the NCAA long jump, felt that since Ed Gordon could jump well with a walk-in jump, he could do it too.
I saw Lambert Reed walking up to the running area, running, jumping, taking off, landing, and the whole set of actions went smoothly!
"7.60 meters!" The referee was quick to announce Lambert Reid's results. Lambert Reed walked off the field with a beaming face, and although he didn't overtake compatriot Ed Gordon, he jumped further than Chen Qiang and Nanfang Zhongping.
What's more, the success of this test jump gave Lambert Reid more confidence, making him feel that the advanced upright aerial technique is not so powerful, even if he still uses the backward walking aerial free, he can defeat Chen Qiang and Nanfang Zhongping who use the upright aerial movement.
The surrounding American audience gave Lambert Reed the most intense applause and shouts, and also gave these American audiences hope of victory!
"Hahaha, see, our American athletes are really still the strongest, one first, one second!"
"Standing up in the air? State-of-the-art long jump technology? So what? We American athletes don't need to master those bells and whistles at all, we can win championships! ”
"This is the strength of the United States, those Asians only know opportunism, and now they should understand that in the face of absolute but strength, any opportunism is meaningless!"
The American spectators in the stands were completely happy, and the Star-Spangled Banner kept waving, as if to cover the entire stand.
It was Chen Qiang's turn to appear, and Chen Qiang also used a relatively extreme pedal for good results, but he also stepped on the line and fouled.
Chen Qiang's second jump loss made the American audience feel that the gold medal in the selected event was one step closer to the United States.
The last to appear was Ed Gordon of the United States, who was far worse on the second jump than on the first jump, only jumping a full 7 meters.
Although the audience was slightly disappointed, they still gave him applause and cheers, after all, the current Ed Gordon still maintains the highest score of 7.64 meters. The American audience is hoping that Ed Gordon can make another breakthrough, but being able to maintain the first place is already a very satisfying result.
This was followed by the third and most brutal round, in which only the best four of the twelve athletes were allowed to stay, and the other eight were eliminated.
At this time, the top four are Ed Gordon of the United States with 7.64m, Lambert Reed of the United States with 7.60m, China's Chen Qiang with 7.52m, and Japan's Tadahei Minami with 7.45m.
In other words, if you want to advance to the top four, you need to jump at least 7.46 meters, surpassing Nanbu Chungpyeong.
At this time, as long as the athletes who are not in the top four, they all start to work hard, and the jump they choose is more extreme than the limit, and the result is a lot of fouls and mistakes.
American Dick Barber jumped 7.39 meters, which was a very good result, but it was not as good as Nanbu Tadahei and was eliminated.
There were cries of disappointment from the audience, Dick Barber was the first American to be eliminated, and the Americans' hopes of winning gold, silver and bronze in the long jump were completely disappointed.
Sweden's Eric Svensson came on and completed his third attempt with a 7.41m mark, but was still 0.04m shorter than Nanbu Chungpyeong, so he was also eliminated.
Historically, Eric Svensson eventually qualified with a fourth-place finish, but the appearance of Chen Qiang made him squeezed out of the top four and only finished fifth.
Next up is Nambu Tadahei, who is now in fourth place, but there is actually some slight danger that he will be eliminated if a competitor jumps over 7.45 meters.
So for this jump, Nanfang Zhongping still used a more unrestrained jump, and the result still ended in a foul.
Since the first attempt to jump 7.45 meters, Nanfang Zhongping has failed two consecutive attempts, at this time he is a little dark, a look of "the baby is very unhappy, the baby needs to be coaxed". And the coach of the Japanese team really stepped forward and gave encouragement and comfort to Nanbu Tadahei for a while.
American Lambert Reed followed suit, he is currently in second place with a score of 7.60m, followed by Chen Qiang and Nanbu Zhongping, Lambert Reed's is also relatively safe, so this third attempt, he also seemed very relaxed, perhaps because it was too easy, his third attempt ended with a foul.
Of the remaining athletes, Japan's Naoto Tajima is the only athlete to jump 7 meters, so he is also the only athlete who poses a threat to Southern Tadahei. As a result, Naoto Tajima only jumped a 7.15-meter jump, which is equivalent to three jumps after sending Nanbu Tadahei to advance.
There are still four athletes who did not appear, among which only Chen Qiang and Ed Gordon jumped 7 meters, and these two are already in the top three, and the other athletes have not jumped more than 7 meters twice, and the last jump is not too likely to exceed 7.45 meters.
Finally, it was Chen Qiang's turn to appear again.
In the second attempt, although Chen Qiang failed, he also accumulated valuable experience, he knew what his problems were, and he also knew how to adjust to avoid mistakes.
He walked up to the run-up area, that is, he deliberately took a few steps back, extended the distance of the run-up, and then started to start, just reached the fastest speed before stepping on the springboard, and then stepped on the springboard.
The springboard began to appear in 1886, but in 1932, systematic take-off technology had not yet been developed. In the future, the process of putting the jumping feet on the springboard is divided into three stages: foot placement, cushioning, and pushing, and each stage is taken out separately for study.
So it is the same jump, Chen Qiang is obviously much more standardized than the athletes of this era, but this kind of norm is not visible to other athletes, after all, the jump is only a momentary thing, and the naked eye cannot capture Chen Qiang's technical characteristics at all.
At the same time of jumping, Chen Qiang began to raise his head, raise his chest, lift his shoulders, and pull his waist, making a perfect take-off process, and then he stretched his body, fully spread his arms, hips, and chest, and put on a upright posture in the process of taking off, and then quickly tightened his legs forward and landed with a sideways cushioning method.
The biggest disadvantage of the upright air is that it is not easy to control the balance of the body in the air, and this will also affect the action of falling to the ground, so the normal forward cushioning method is not suitable for the upright flight, on the contrary, the landing posture of the lateral cushioning method is more conducive to the athlete to adjust the balance when landing.
Chen Qiang got up from the sand pool, and then looked back at the traces he had left in the sand pool.
"That's over 7.6 meters! It seems to be able to reach 7.65 meters. Chen Qiang's face showed a hint of joy.
The current first place is Ed Gordon's 7.64m, and the second place is Lambert Reed's 7.60m, Chen Qiang jumped a score of more than 7.6m, at least surpassing Lambert Reed. If you can jump 7.65m, you will directly surpass Ed Gordon to take first place.
The surveyor stepped forward to measure, and the referee stepped forward, and then the two surveyors and the referee argued.
After a long time, the surveyor and the referee finally reached an agreement, and the referee gave the result.
"7.63 meters!"
Chen Qiang frowned, he was still 1 centimeter away from Ed Gordon in first place.
"What do I think, I should have reached 7.64 meters! I guess I deliberately hacked my 1 cm score! Chen Qiang secretly said in his heart that he really wanted the referee to re-measure.
In this era, there were no electronic measuring instruments, and the long jump was measured purely by hand by surveyors, and it was not impossible to deliberately create a gap of 1 centimeter. From time to time, the surveyor's hand shakes, and a deviation of 1 cm comes out.
The U.S. team is playing at home again, and there must be an advantage in the referee's penalty scale, maybe the Americans will use some small tricks to deliberately lower Chen Qiang's performance, so that Chen Qiang can't surpass Ed Gordon.
But in the next second, Chen Qiang silently walked off the field, and he did not apply to measure again.
"My goal is not just to win a gold medal in the Olympics, I want to break a world record! It's only 7.64 meters, and it's not in my eyes, and I still have a killer weapon to use now! ”
Thinking of his killer feature, Chen Qiang suddenly settled down a lot.
When the surveyor was measuring, the hearts of all the audience at the scene were in their throats, Chen Qiang's test jump this time, surpassing the second-place Lambert Reed is already a foregone conclusion, and the American audience is worried that Chen Qiang will surpass the first-place Ed Gordon in this test jump.
When the referee announced 7.63 meters, almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief, except for the Chinese audience, who let out a sigh of regret.
"It's a pity, it's just a little bit, it's just a centimeter!" Song Jun slapped his thigh in a hurry, and Liu Changchun also kept stomping his feet, both of them had an expression of missing the eight million lotto.
Ed Gordon also sighed with relief.
Ed Gordon is relatively close to the sand pool, after Chen Qiang completed the test jump, Ed Gordon also felt that Chen Qiang was going to surpass him, but he didn't expect the referee to confirm it for a long time and gave Chen Qiang a score of 7.63 meters.
Ed Gordon seemed to realize something, and there was a hint of emptiness in his eyes, and it wasn't until the sand pool was re-smoothed that he settled down a little.
After the two athletes, it was Ed Gordon's turn to take the field, and although he was still the one with the best result, Chen Qiang was only 1 centimeter behind him, which made him feel the pressure increase sharply.
To the cheers of the audience, Ed Gordon successfully completed his third attempt, and his score of 7.43m was a very good result, but it did not exceed the 7.64m of the first jump.
All three jumps have been completed, with the top four being Ed Gordon (7.64m), Chen Qiang (7.63m), Lambert Reid (7.60m) and Nambu Chungpyeong (7.45m). Two U.S. athletes, one Chinese athlete and one Japanese athlete will decide the winner through the final three jumps.
The next order of appearances will also be ranked according to the results of the athletes, with the worst result of Nanbu Tadhei will be the first to appear, and the best Ed Gordon will be the last to appear. Coincidentally, the order in which these four people appeared and the first three jumps did not change.
At the beginning of the fourth attempt, Nanbu Chungpyong took the lead in the running area.
The first three competitors all jumped above 7.6m, which was both an incentive and a pressure for Nambu Tadahei, who desperately needed a good result as the world record holder in the long jump.
However, in the previous two attempts, Nanfang Zhongping ended in fouls, which also affected Nanfang Zhongping's mood, he decided to stabilize his hand first, and first ensure the success rate, anyway, after completing this trial jump, he still has two more chances.
In the fourth test jump, Nambu Tadahei did not foul, and he completed this test jump with a score of 7.32 meters.
Next up is Lambert Reed of the United States.
was squeezed by Chen Qiang from second place to third place, Lambert Reed was naturally unwilling, but this time he tried to jump, he only jumped 7.39 meters, which did not exceed the previous 7.60 meters.
Then it was Chen Qiang's turn to appear.
The audience showed nervous expressions, Chen Qiang just jumped a 7.63 meter, who knows if he will jump farther this time.
The players also stared at Chen Qiang intently, especially Ed Gordon, who couldn't wait to see through Chen Qiang's every move.
With the successful experience of 7.63 meters just now, Chen Qiang is more confident this time, and he believes that he only needs to make a slight adjustment on the basis of what he just has just made, and he can jump to a better result.
After a set of rhythmic run-ups, Chen Qiang rushed to the springboard like a gallop, and then, he took off in strict accordance with the technical points.
This time, the height at which Chen Qiang vacated was great!
This time, Chen Qiang's posture in the air is also perfect!
"What a beautiful pose!" Nanbu Zhongping couldn't help but admire in his heart.
The word "perfect" popped up in Nanfang Zhongping's mind, and Nanfang Zhongping suddenly felt that Chen Qiang's attempt to jump was the real "standing up in the air" in his mind.
Nanfang Zhongping couldn't even think about guessing how Chen Qiang had mastered such a perfect upright take-off technique, and at this time, his mind was full of reminiscences of Chen Qiang's take-off action just now.
In the sand pit, Chen Qiang had already landed, and countless sand grains were shoveled away by Chen Qiang, accompanied by the exclamations of the audience.
Chen Qiang looked ahead, only to see the Americans in the stands, many of them covered their mouths and opened their eyes wide, and what was revealed in their eyes was endless loss and confusion.
Only where the Chinese were seated rang out with roaring cheers.
Chen Qiang looked back, and the traces he left in the sand pool had reached a position of 7.8 meters.
Chen Qiang also showed a winner's smile on his face, this time, his score far exceeded Eddie Gordon's 7.64 meters, even if the referee was black-hearted, he would not give him a score lower than Eddie Gordon.
This is track and field, running faster and jumping farther is a clear thing, and there is no need for the referee's score, as long as the strength can crush the opponent, even if it is a black whistle, it is impossible to make the first place into the second place.
After the measurements, the referee finally announced the results.
"7.80 meters!"
Although the American audience at the scene had already guessed the result, when the referee announced it, many people still let out a sigh of loss.
The American audience, who was originally quite proud, fell into disappointment again.
Those who touted American athletes before all fell silent, and the sense of superiority they had just generated was kicked into the dustbin by Chen Qiang again.
In the first two attempts, Eddie Gordon and Lambert Reed overtook Chen Qiang and Nanbu Zhongping respectively, which made the American audience feel that the new technology of standing up and taking off is not a big deal. As a result, Chen Qiang surpassed Lambert Reid on the third attempt, and Ed Gordon on the fourth, also on two attempts, completing the overtake of the two American athletes in the team, which was simply a response to a combination of punches.
What's more, Chen Qiang's fourth attempt jump, jumping 7.80 meters, is a full 0.16 meters higher than Ed Gordon's 7.64 meters, which is simply a desperate gap.
"The new long jump technique really has merit, that Chinese can jump to 7.80 meters!"
"I still underestimate the new technology, I didn't expect the new long jump technology to be so powerful! After this Olympics, we in the U.S. should also learn this new technology. ”
The majority of the American audience immediately showed the fickleness of the Americans.
Of course, there are also people who have not given up hope.
"Ed Gordon hasn't appeared yet, maybe the next time he tries to jump, Ed Gordon will jump a time of 7.80 meters or more!"
With anticipation and applause from the American audience, Ed Gordon took to the field.
No one noticed that at this time, Ed Gordon's eyes looking at the sand pool in front of him were full of despair.
The 7.80m is a result that Ed Gordon has never been able to achieve. So far, Ed Gordon's personal best is only 7.74m, which means that even if he can jump another best time, it will not be able to surpass Chen Qiang's 7.80m.
"What a terrible result of 7.80 meters, can I surpass it?" Deep down, Ed Gordon finally had doubts about himself.
Ed Gordon knows that he is not only going to challenge Chen Qiang next, but also to challenge himself, and he must jump out of a score that he has never achieved before to be able to defeat Chen Qiang!
It's just a possibility!
"I have no way out, fight!"
In the next second, Ed Gordon took a step.
Run, pedal, jump!
It was at this time that the referee at the beginning of the springboard raised the red flag.
Ed Gordon let out a long sigh and walked off the track, he had long expected this result, and if he wanted to outdo himself, he would have to use a more unrestrained jump, and at the cost of being more likely to foul.
It was an obvious foul, Ed Gordon's toes were already on the springboard, and in full view, such an obvious foul, even if the referee wanted to defend the American athlete, there was no way.
After all, this is the Olympic Games, and although it is held in the United States, the IOC still sent people, naturally for the purpose of supervising the fairness of the competition.
Some people will think that the IOC and the United States are like a nest of snakes and rats, and they must be aiming for the strong country and suppressing the weak country.
In the Olympic Games in history, there have indeed been cases where the International Olympic Committee has taken advantage of loopholes in the rules to help the United States.
But the IOC will never say that black is white in order to help the United States, and the IOC will definitely keep the bottom line of fairness if it is a very clear punishment.
If you think about it with its practical brain, you will know that if an event of this level of the Olympic Games could not be maintained fair and just, it would have been played long ago! How can it last for more than 100 years? If the Olympics were a place where the strong countries suppressed the weak countries, then more than 100 countries would not participate in each Olympic Games, but those powerful countries would just play by themselves!
As for Chen Qiang's previous 7.63-meter penalty, even if it was a misjudgment, in this era, it was a misjudgment within the allowable range. After all, the length is close to 8 meters, and the difference of 1 centimeter is only 1 in 800 percent, and the surveyor can shake out 1 centimeter with a cough and a shake of his hand. The error of 1 centimeter can be explained, and the athletes can only consider themselves unlucky when they are in this matter.
This time Ed Gordon's starting foul was too obvious, and in front of athletes from more than a dozen countries, Americans are not thick enough to call black white.
With Ed Gordon off the field, the fourth round of the test jump is over, and there are still two final rounds left.
There was another sigh of frustration in the audience, and for the American audience in the room, the feeling of giving them hope and then immediately shattering it was really terrible. Although the competition is not over yet, there are two more attempts to jump, and the two American athletes have four more chances combined, but judging by the form shown by the American athletes, the hope of the American team winning is getting slimmer and slimmer.
At the moment, Chen Qiang has a big lead with a time of 7.80m, with the two Americans in second and third place, and the world record holder in fourth.
At this time, Nanfang Zhongping also knew that the situation was already very dangerous, and in the face of Chen Qiang's jump of 7.80 meters, he had to find the competitive form when he broke the world record last year to be able to defeat Chen Qiang.
On the fifth attempt, Nanfang Zhongping jumped 7.39 meters, which seemed to tell Nanfang Zhongping that he really did not break the world record today.
America's Lambert Reed made his fifth appearance, and he faced the same situation as Ed Gordon, which was to overcome himself.
Lambert Reed's personal best is 7.78m, and it was also in that race that he came out on top of Ed Gordon. However, this best result is still 2 centimeters away from Chen Qiang's 7.80 meters, which means that Lambert Reed, who is in his best state, still needs to jump 2 centimeters more to catch up with Chen Qiang.
Lambert Reid walked onto the field, and the cheers of the American crowd around him made him feel endless pressure. The Olympics hosted by the United States, in front of so many compatriots, ended up losing the game, and that was a taste that Lambert Reed never wanted to taste.
"If you lose, you may be regarded as a sinner of the United States!"
In the next second, Lambert Reed made the same decision as Ed Gordon, that is, to use a large-scale take-off method, and fight!
Then he got the same result as Ed Gordon, the red flag was raised, and the foul failed!
Sighs rang out from all sides, and the U.S. team had one less chance. And next, it was Chen Qiang's turn to appear.
……
Chen Qiang is about to start his fifth attempt.
As one of the players with the best results at present, Chen Qiang did not get applause and cheers when he appeared on the stage, and the American audience in the stands looked a little flat.
There is no way, Chen Qiang's 7.80 meters just now is really too much of a slap in the face, this slap directly shattered the hope of the audience's just birth, these American spectators in the stands, like injured animals, are licking their wounds, how can they have the kung fu to applaud Chen Qiang!
Perhaps in the eyes of American audiences, Chen Qiang is a Thanos-like existence, who came to Earth to bully superheroes for a while, and then left in style.
Now Chen Qiang is a full 16 centimeters ahead of the second place, which is almost an unsurpassable result in this level of confrontation. What's more, the two American athletes have never jumped above the 7.80m mark, and the world record holder Tadahei Minami is not in great competitive form.
It is no exaggeration to say that the current Chen Qiang, with a score of 7.80 meters, has locked the gold medal of this Olympic Games in advance!
According to the technical level standards of track and field athletes in later generations, 7.80 meters happens to be the standard result of national athletes, which is already a very powerful achievement.
But Chen Qiang is not satisfied, his goal is to take away the world record in the long jump from the hands of Nan Zhongping!
"In that test jump just now, the upright take-up technique I used has been played perfectly, even if I were asked to do it again, if I continue to use the up-up take-off, it will not be better."
"Even if we put our upright aerial skills to perfection, the final result was only 7.8 meters, which is still 18 centimeters away from the world record of 7.98 meters held by Nam Chungpyeong."
"In the last two attempts, if I had continued to use the up-and-out air, I would have been unable to make up for the 18-centimetre gap. Looks like it's time to use my killer feature! ”
At this time, Chen Qiang has realized that with his current ability, the results of the upright vacancy have been exerted to the limit, if he continues to use the upright vacancy, it is no problem to ensure the championship, but breaking the world record is still a few points worse.
Chen Qiang took a deep breath and strode onto the field, he decided not to keep it anymore, this time he wanted to use his killer move.
