The third shot put competition continued the same format as the long jump, with 31 athletes divided into groups A and B, and there was no change in the grouping. The two brothers of the pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Feng are still divided into Group B.

Although the shot put is a relatively weak event, after more than half a year of continuous tempering, his performance in this event has basically reached the average level among the participating athletes.

Feng Quan scored 14.06m (732 points) in his first attempt, setting a new personal best in the official competition.

I don't know if Coach Yue Wenjun is not good at guiding the shot put project, or his apprentices are not suitable for practicing this project, Qi Haifeng, who was born in the javelin, is also not good at the shot put project, and only made a score of 13.59 meters in the first test throw.

But despite this, Feng Quan's results in the first round of trial throws were still the only two athletes in Group B who broke through the 14-meter mark. And even Qi Haifeng, who did not play well, was ranked 8th in Group B.

The competition of the shot put event also confirmed the "authority" of the organizing committee in such a grouping.

Compared with the dismal results in the first round of the first round of Group B, the results of Group A are significantly better. Of the 15 athletes, only four failed to break the 14-meter mark, and two even broke the 15-meter mark.

It is worth mentioning that the first two competitions were not very good Asian record holders, and Dmitry Karpov threw 16.47m (880 points) in his first attempt, establishing himself as the "shot put dominant" in one fell swoop.

And Ashton Eaton, who is also not very good at shot put, made a score of 14.55m (762 points) in the first round of trial throwing, which once again narrowed the gap between himself and Feng Quan.

――――――

Feng Quan and Qi Haifeng, who were sitting in the athletes' waiting area, looked at each other after seeing the first round of Ashton-Eaton's 14.55 meters test throw results displayed on the big screen, and their faces showed knowing smiles at the same time.

"Eh, Brother Feng, this Eaton's strength is really not covered! I've seen reviews on the internet that this guy isn't very good at throwing. But this 14.55 meters score is even more awesome than our brothers' results! Feng Quan said with a smile.

"Well, that's normal. After all, he is now the world record holder, and he is the only person who has broken the 9,000-point mark in recent years, so his overall strength is still very strong. Qi Haifeng paused slightly and continued: "Even if Eaton is not very good at throwing in the eyes of others, he also has the strength of the average level. ”

After listening to the words of the senior brother, Feng Quan immediately nodded in agreement.

"It seems that if you want to beat him in this competition, you have to play at a super level in the throwing event......

――――――

In the second round of test throwing, 9 of the 15 athletes in Group A improved their performance, and 3 broke the 15m barrier again. In particular, Germany's Pascal Balbrais threw 15.47m, which suddenly improved his score by 113 centimeters.

In Group B, there were still no athletes who broke the 15-meter mark, but three athletes improved their scores to more than 14 meters in the second round of test throws.

Although Qi Haifeng still failed to break through 14m in the second round of trial throwing, his score of 13.96m (726 points) was his best score in the shot put event in recent years.

Feng Quan, who played before Qi Haifeng, was fouled in the second round of trial pitching because of his impatience.

Qi Haifeng's friend, Cuban athlete Lionel Suarez, improved his score to 14.36 meters in the second round of test throwing, thus "surpassing" Fengquan and ranking second in Group B.

"Daquan, don't be in too much of a hurry, even if you lose to him in the shot put event, it's not a big deal. After all, this project is something you and I are not good at. Qi Haifeng, who was sitting in the athletes' waiting area, comforted the wind around him.

"Well, Brother Feng, I understand. At that moment, I was indeed too anxious. In the next round of trial pitching, I will definitely adjust my mentality and try to improve my score a little more. Feng Quan said.

"That's right! The comprehensive strength of our brothers is not comparable to Eaton, so why compete with him!? As long as we can play at our due level and not leave any regrets in the game, it is enough. After a pause, Qi Haifeng continued: "Look, we both have refreshed our personal bests in the shot put event today, what is there not to be satisfied with?" Well, it's your turn again, so go get ready. ”

"Well, I know Brother Feng." With that, Feng Quan got up from his seat and walked in the direction of the throwing area.

Looking at Feng Quan, who was walking towards the throwing area, Qi Haifeng said in his heart: "Come on, Daquan." One day, you're going to beat that Eaton ......"

――――――

After completing the ball holding action, Feng Quan, who was facing away from the throwing direction, took a deep breath, then closed his eyes, and after shouting "come on" to himself in his heart, he started his last test throw.

After completing the turning motion beautifully, Feng Quan's upper body bends forward slightly, and quickly pulls his right calf under the center of gravity to bear the weight of his body to maintain the balance of his body. Then, when the right foot is tucked under the center of gravity and the ground is fast, the left leg is quickly stepped back to form the position before the final shot.

Immediately after, after Feng Quan's right foot landed on the ground, his right leg kicked hard to push his right hip joint to turn in the direction of the throw. At the same time, Feng Quan also kept the shot put in his hand as low as possible.

The next moment, Feng Quan's right leg kicked the ground violently, and then his right arm quickly and forcefully pushed the ball out. And, at the moment when the shot put was shot, Feng Quan's mouth let out a roar.

In order to avoid another foul, Feng Quan quickly bent his legs after the shot put, reducing his center of gravity to cushion the forward momentum, so as to maintain the balance of his body and not foul.

When Feng Quan completed a complete set of shot put throwing movements like a textbook, Yue Wenjun, who was sitting in the stands, and Qi Haifeng, who was in the athletes' waiting area, shouted "Beautiful!" almost at the same time! ”

Because even if the results of Feng Quan's shot have not yet been announced, judging from the position where the shot put landed, even if his shot put score cannot surpass Eaton, at least it will not be too far behind.

Soon, the big screen at the scene verified the "judgment" of Yue Wenjun and Qi Haifeng. Although they were not able to surpass Eaton, their score of 14.56m (763 points) finally closed the gap between the two.

So, when Feng Quan saw his results displayed on the big screen, he got a little carried away and made an arrogant move with his index finger pointing at the sky.

It's a pity that Feng Quan's "arrogance" only lasted less than a minute, and Eton, who was in Group A, taught him what it means to "have someone outside the ......" (to be continued. )
