Chapter 317: You are stronger, I am stronger

Although the gap of nearly 130 points was opened by the wind after the end of the first game, Ashton Eaton, who has a lot of experience in the game, did not pay too much attention to it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 After all, as the "king of sprinting", Feng Quan is best at the 100-meter sprint.

For Eaton, who specializes in decathlon, being able to run the 100-meter dash by only 0.5 seconds behind the wind can even be regarded as a very desirable result.

Moreover, as a project that determines the ranking based on the total results of ten competitions, the excellent performance of one event alone is not enough to determine the ownership of the champion.

At the same time, according to the information gathered by his coach Chris Quinn at the Chinese Athletics Championships held at the end of May, Feng Quan's state in the decathlon competition at that time was significantly worse than that of last year's London Olympics. The total score of only 8641 points is the best proof of this.

Although the wind is full of 400 meters and the results of the three throwing events, there is a certain improvement compared to last year's Olympics. However, due to his long-term neglect of track and field practice, his performance in the 110-meter hurdles and 3 jumping events showed a significant downward trend.

Unlike Feng Quan's "poor state", Eaton, who has been brewing "revenge" since the end of the London Olympics, not only won the national trials easily, but also almost broke the world record held by himself again after nearly a year of "lying on the salary and tasting courage".

Therefore, Eaton, who is at the peak of his competitive state, before the start of the World Championships in Moscow, was not worried about Feng Quan's ability to prevent him from regaining the throne of "track and field", but set his goal early - to break the world record.

………………

In the long jump competition, Feng Quan's jump of 7.94m (1045 points) was not as good as it was at last year's London Olympics. But it's also a little better than at the National Athletics Championships at the end of May.

Unlike Feng Quan, who is "fighting on multiple fronts", his two senior brothers, who have been focusing on decathlon practice, although their results in the long jump competition are slightly inferior due to the gap in "talent". But they also played their best in the game.

At the same time, due to the poor performance of most of the other participating athletes in the long jump event, Zhao Feng and Qi Haifeng's rankings after the end of the competition actually rose one position each.

As a result, in the Moscow World Championships, there was a great spectacle that the three brothers of the Feng Quanshi Division actually occupied half of the top six after the first two competitions of the decathlon. Even if this ranking does not represent the final ranking of the decathlon, it is enough to make all Chinese who love track and field events proud of it.

However, in the long jump, the best performance is Feng Quan's biggest competitor - Ashton Eaton. Eaton, who scored 8.01m (1,063 points) in the event, was not only the only athlete to break the 8m barrier. Moreover, with his excellent performance in this project, the point gap between himself and Feng Quan has narrowed by nearly 20 points.

Although these 20 points seem a little insignificant in the decathlon competition. But I believe that as long as I continue to play according to this momentum. Then he can not only rely on the "advantage" in the jumping event, but also easily defeat the wind to regain the throne of the "king of track and field". There is even considerable hope of breaking the world record of 9,039 points set in the first half of last year.

However, will Fengquan, who has long been different from what it used to be, allow him to "succeed" so easily?

Obviously, the answer is no.

………………

Although Ashton Eaton, who has excellent "running and jumping ability", is not very strong in throwing events. However, due to his excellent performance in the first two competitions, he appeared confident when competing in the shot put event.

So, encouraged by great confidence, Eaton set a personal best in the shot put - 15.05m (793 points) in the first round of trial throwing.

Although Chris Quinn had mentioned to Eaton before the race, Feng Quan's progress in the throwing event in the past year has been obvious, and he also threw nearly 15 meters in the shot put event at the Chinese domestic track and field championships at the end of May.

However, in Eaton's view, Fengquan, who had just participated in the East Asian Cup football match more than ten days ago, was difficult to quickly adjust his competitive state to the peak in just a few days. Therefore, Eaton does not think that his biggest rival, Feng Quan, can throw more than 15 meters in the shot put.

Therefore, Eaton, who set a personal best in the first round of test throws, immediately raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar

Unfortunately, Eton's excitement lasted less than 5 minutes, and Feng Quan, who was placed in the third to last appearance according to the draw results, gave the "former king of track and field" a glimpse of his terrifying strength.

………………

"15.83m (841 points)!? This...... Daquan's strength is so strong now? ”

Although Yue Wenjun knows very well that Feng Quan has significantly improved his physical strength under the guidance of German Jonas Kessler for more than half a year. But he didn't expect that Feng Quan would actually make such a result in the first round of trial throwing. You must know that even Zhao Feng, who has outstanding throwing ability, is not able to throw close to 16 meters every time in the competition.

However, what surprised Yue Wenjun even more was that after the first round of trial throwing in the shot put event, Feng Quan directly found the referee of the project, saying that in order to save as much physical strength as possible for the later games, he directly gave up the last two rounds of trial throwing.

At the beginning, Yue Wenjun also had some complaints about Feng Quan's decision. After all, the vast majority of athletes will have reservations in their first attempt to be on the safe side, in order to ensure that they can get a valid result and not be "knocked out". Therefore, the best results in this project often appear in the second and third rounds of trial throws.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Yue Wenjun felt that Feng Quan's approach was also a good choice.

This will not only allow Feng Quan to get as much rest time as possible, but also give up the last two trial shots, which will also reduce his chances of injury. After all, in the final force (or shot put) stage of the shot put throwing process, there is still the possibility of straining the arm muscles if you are not careful.

Moreover, according to the experience of previous competitions from all walks of life, Feng Quan's 15.83m throw score is enough to ensure that he ranks in the top 4 in the decathlon shot put.

You must know that at last year's London Olympics, there were only 7 athletes who scored more than 15 meters. At the same time, among the seven people, only the Kazakh veteran Karpov achieved a score of more than 15.80 meters.
