Chapter 109: Encountering a Crisis

Shortly after Feng Quan once again set a new personal best in the shot put with his last chance to throw it, Ashton Eaton, who was placed in Group A, also improved his score to 14.89m (783 points) with the last throw. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info and, again, the score gap between himself and Feng Quan was narrowed by 20 points.

After seeing Eaton improve his shot put score again, Feng Quan, who was sitting in the athletes' waiting area to pack his belongings, couldn't help but smile wryly and shook his head.

After completing the last test throw, Qi Haifeng, who had just sat back next to Feng Quan, gently patted his "little junior brother" on the shoulder, and said gently: "Don't think about it, Daquan." Just push for the goal of 'podium' and don't put too much pressure on yourself. ”

"Hehe, don't worry, Brother Feng, I'm fine. Anyway, I'm almost 100 points ahead of him. Feng Quanhan said with a smile.

Listening to Feng Quan's words, Qi Haifeng's face also showed a smile, and then he used his wide palm to rub Feng Quan's already somewhat "long board inch" and said: "Silly boy, if you really think so in your heart, then I will rest assured......"

"That's a must! Brother Feng, my things are all packed, you should hurry up and pack them up. Then my brother invites you to eat something...... I don't know if it's a coincidence, when Feng Quan just said that he wanted to "eat something", his stomach made a "gurgling" sound at the right time.

So Feng Quan scratched his head a little embarrassed and said, "Uh...... I've just competed in three events, and I'm really hungry......"

Seeing Feng Quan's embarrassed appearance, Qi Haifeng couldn't help laughing.

"This kid really has a big heart. Looks like I really don't need to worry about him......"

――――――

Due to the shot put event, it was not yet 15 o'clock, and the next high jump competition did not start until 18 o'clock. Therefore, the 31 athletes who participated in the decathlon competition returned to the athletes' lounge to eat something to replenish their calories while trying to recover their strength.

After finding a secluded corner location, after Feng Quan and Qi Haifeng sat down, Feng Quan took out a large pile of high-calorie foods such as chocolates and Snickers bars from his backpack. After giving some to Qi Haifeng, he took out two bottles of athlete drinks from his backpack and handed them to the senior brother again.

Feng Quan raised the sports drink in his hand, and after colliding with Qi Haifeng's hand, he said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Brother Feng, there are no good dishes, let's make do with 'drink'." ”

"You kid, there's always no one in the right day." Although Qi Haifeng's mouth was full of accusatory words, his face was full of smiles.

"Hehe, I'm not a 'beast', what can I pretend!? Wouldn't it be nice to get a little bit of yourself? ”

"Yes, yes, you've always had a point, right?" Qi Haifeng feigned anger and said.

Looking at Feng Quan, who had already eaten multiple pieces of dark chocolate in a row, Qi Haifeng shook his head and said, "Daquan, you still have to eat less and satisfy your hunger." Otherwise, when the high jump competition is held later, I'm afraid you'll fall and throw up......"

――――――

Glancing at Feng Quan, who was "gobbling" chocolate, a sly smile appeared on Trey Haldy's face. Immediately afterward, he poked Ashton Eaton next to him again, and said with a smile, "Hey, man. I don't think tomorrow, the two of us will be able to overtake that Chinese kid. ”

"Why?" Eaton asked, confused.

"Look at his stupid eating, and look at the others, who would eat so much before the game is over like him? In particular, there will be a high jump competition. After a pause, Haldy continued: "When the game is played, if he falls and vomits what he eats, the game will be much more 'interesting'. ”

With that, Haldi laughed to himself......

――――――

In the high jump competition, the grouping of groups A and B has undergone some changes, and nearly 40% of the athletes in the two groups have switched their groups to each other.

When the referee announced that the competition would start from a height of 1.81m, all 15 athletes in Group A chose not to jump. In Group B, there were also 10 athletes who chose to skip the jump.

However, at the height of 1.81 meters, British athlete Daniel Awad failed in all three attempts, thus bidding farewell to the whole competition in advance.

In the next two heights of 1.84 meters and 1.87 meters, all the contestants in Group A once again chose no jump. It wasn't until the bar rose to a height of 1.90 meters that seven athletes in Group A started their own attempts, and all of them were successful in one shot.

It can be seen that the grouping of the high jump event is basically based on the hard strength of the athletes in the high jump event. The reason for this grouping is also to enhance the fierce competition between high-level athletes, so as to stimulate their potential and create good results.

In contrast to the "self-confidence" of the athletes in Group A, the athletes in Group B started from a height of 1.87 meters and started to try out all of them, except for Feng Quan. After the height of the bar rose to 1.90 meters, Feng Quan also started his first test jump, and he successfully passed the bar with great ease.

――――――

As the height of the bar continues to increase, the number of athletes who continue to compete on the two high jump fields is also decreasing.

When the competition reached a height of 1.99m, only three of them managed to jump over that height after the first two jumps. And Feng Quan, because of the carelessness of the first two attempts, both failed results.

And just as the final round of the test jump began, Feng Quan made a surprising decision. That is, to "cross" the height of 1.99 meters, and choose to jump directly to the height of 2.02 meters. This means that if the wind is all at a height of 2.02 meters, there will only be one chance to try jumping. And if this only attempt fails, then Feng Quan's score will be fixed above a height of 1.96m.

I don't know if I should be glad for Feng Quan's choice, because in the last round of the jump, all the athletes in Group B who continued to compete failed at a height of 1.99 meters.

So, when the bar was raised to a height of 2.02 meters, there were still 12 athletes in Group A who continued to compete, and in Group B, only Canadian athlete Damian Warner, last year's world champion American Trey Haldy, as well as Qi Haifeng and Feng Quanshi brothers, were still playing. Moreover, the wind is all at this height, and there is only one last chance to try to jump...... (To be continued.) )
