127. Requirements of the show jumping rules
After listening to Ma Kun's explanation to the old fritter riders, Fu Jun suddenly felt that compared with those old fritter riders, he was really too simple, and he really thought that those riders complained because they saw that the configuration of the competition venue was unreasonable.
Unexpectedly, other people's routines are only scheming and experienced.
After all, if the rider pretends to be confused and complains about this kind of thing, if there is no clear request above, it may really make the referee feel that the design is unreasonable, change his mind, and remove the last difficult obstacle bar, thus greatly increasing their chances of victory.
And if they don't complain at all, with that difficult obstacle bar, they basically can't win the game, and I think they also know this, so they deliberately complained.
Of course, it is not excluded that among them, there are really people who complain with simple thoughts, thinking that the design is really unreasonable and should not use such a high obstacle bar.
It's just that there are such people, but there are definitely not many, and most of them appear in novices with little experience in the game.
Experienced professional riders, who have participated in more equestrian competitions, naturally know how to win a chance to turn the tables for them in other ways when they encounter a competition that they can't handle.
Compared with the old fritter riders who are scheming everywhere in these competitions, Fu Jun feels that he who only likes to play with horses, and even thinks that women are not as fun as horses, is really too simple.
However, Ma Kun's words also made Fu Jun understand one point, that is, the final winning point of today's show jumping competition should be the highest obstacle bar.
Whoever can jump better at the last high obstacle point will definitely have a better result in the final.
The reason is also very simple, only this kind of difficult obstacle bar that many riders are not sure to jump without making mistakes, can the results of each participating rider be opened at once when scoring.
After all, if all the obstacles are not too difficult, and the average professional rider has passed those obstacles, in fact, it is similar to their normal training on weekdays, so the end result can only be that the results of the participating riders are very close, there is no gap, and anyone can win the first place.
The outcome of the race is determined by the fact that the participating riders race against time to ensure that they do not miss the obstacles.
And now there's an obstacle bar that can make a mistake at any time, lengthen the time it takes for a rider to jump an obstacle, and potentially result in a big penalty point, which isn't the winning point of the race, so what else can be?
On the competition field, after the judges have checked that there is no abnormality in the field, the chief referee will open the field and issue the official competition password to the participating riders.
The riders, who had already sat back on their horses and were waiting for the referee's instructions, immediately rode their horses into the race one by one in order.
With the first rider to enter the competition, the qualifying elimination of Shanyang City, the National Games show jumping race, officially began.
After the referee announced the start of the race, the on-site commentator of the race also told the audience the rules of the race and the reason why the rider complained to the referee just now, but did not complain successfully.
Although there may not even be a local broadcast of this qualifying tournament, the leaders who organized the race did not prepare commentators because of this, because they all understood that among the people who came to watch the game, there would definitely be many fans who did not know the rules of the game at all.
If you don't want to find a way to let these newcomer little white horse fans quickly understand the rules of the game, maybe they will leave the field early because they can't understand it, and no longer contact equestrianism, obviously, this is obviously a loss of development for the equestrian industry, so it is very important to arrange an on-site commentator to explain the game to all audiences.
"Friends who have come to the present, welcome to watch today's show jumping, and let me introduce you to today's show jumping race. It is a sport that requires the rider and horse to work together to cross 10 to 12 obstacles within a set course within a limited time. The sport requires riders and horses to be brave, accurate and resolute, with the common goal of crossing the full obstacle bar in the shortest possible time, without errors, and quickly. ”
"This competition is designed and held in accordance with the requirements of the Olympic Games. The Olympic Games require the competition venue to be 90 meters long and 60 meters wide, and the obstacle course that is now being held in front of everyone is designed in strict accordance with the requirements of the Olympic Games. ”
"The Olympic Games for the length of the race route requirements are between 450 and 650 meters, a total of 12 obstacles of various styles and shapes, one of which is a double obstacle, one is a triple obstacle, and the number 1 to 12 is placed in front of the obstacle, indicating that the participating riders must jump all the obstacles in order of numbers before completing the race."
"The race route is 500 meters long, and the third obstacle bar you see is a double obstacle, and the eighth obstacle bar is a triple obstacle, and these two obstacles are more difficult, and they are also one of the important highlights of this game."
"Of course, the most noteworthy thing about this competition is the last obstacle course, because this competition designed the last obstacle bar into a very difficult A-level height obstacle bar, which is very rare in China."
Speaking of which, it is necessary to explain the obstacle height, in the field obstacle race, the obstacle height is divided into three difficulty levels, the lowest is C, 1.2 meters high; The second is Class B, with a height of 1.2 meters to 1.4 meters, and generally only a few 1.4 meters high obstacles, and the highest is Class A, with a height of 1.6 meters. In this competition, the minimum height is 1.3 meters, and there are 4 obstacles with a height of 1.4 meters, including the aforementioned No. 3 double obstacle bar, as well as the No. 8 triple obstacle bar, plus the last A-level difficulty obstacle bar, the difficulty of the competition is rare in China, which can be described as full of highlights. ”
"Okay, let's get here first, we see that rider No. 1 has already entered the field, let's watch the race first."
Fu Jun listened to the game commentator, in the short time after saying so many words in the short time at the beginning of the game, he had to keep his speech clear and his speech speed steady, and he had to admire the tongue of these people.
At this time, the No. 1 rider entered the field, after a simple warm-up, and the referee saw that the time was almost there, and then the bell rang, indicating that the race had begun.
Next, the rider must pass the starting point, marker pole D, within 60 seconds to start the race.
When all 12 obstacles are jumped in the order of the race route, the rider must pass the finish line - Marker Pole A, and the race result will be valid.
