Chapter 260: Japan vs USA...... vs China (2nd Update)
The first to challenge the height of 4.2 meters is the Japanese athlete Erno, there are many Japanese spectators at the scene, they have always been the most fierce, they have also maintained the record of the Far Eastern Games, worthy of the Far East history track and field power.
Fu Baolu jumped 3.87m at the 1934 Far Eastern Games and won only one silver medal, losing to Japan – but that silver medal was also China's first major medal in an international athletics event.
At last year's National Games, Fu Baolu was in good shape, easily jumping over the height of 3.9 meters, and when he was about to challenge the 4-meter mark, he found that the height of the crossbar in the competition was not high enough, but the rod was not long enough, so he had to give up.
This year, the jump is very good, but the Japanese players here are also improving by leaps and bounds, so today Fu Baolu and the two Japanese players are also an Asian record competition.
Under the cheers of the Japanese audience and the onlookers, Erno took the batter.
First Jump –
Fail.
Second Jump –
Fail.
Third Jump ......
Fail......
The quick withdrawal from the medal race made the Japanese audience stop a lot, and the audience was very happy.
It also means three American players against one Japanese player, oh, and a Chinese player.
The American audience, who felt that the opportunity had come, shouted "USA!" with patriotic pride and patriotic pride. usa! "Get up.
The next player was Elber, the world record holder at 4.38m, and the audience without exception believed that these five big and three thick star players were the best hope for the U.S. team to win today.
The world record holder also has his own unique style, holding a crooked, awkward-looking thick rod, first making a gesture under the bar, and then solemnly starting his first jump of 4.2 meters!
“usa!” The shouts are temporarily suspended to give their heroes a quiet environment to play!
Run-ups, take-offs, everything is perfect!
Then it is to land with the person with the pole, the first jump, and fail.
Then the second jump, again...... Fail.
At this moment, the Yankees, who were still happily shouting "USA", were a little nervous, and their champion should not fail at a height of 4.2 meters!
Elber has been on the battlefield for a long time, and it is common sense not to make mistakes at this height, but believe in him - he can explode under a little pressure and mobilize himself to be in better shape in one fell swoop!
So under the witness of the audience, Elber skimmed the crossbar briskly and beautifully, and fell down with the rod and the rod!
Third jump!
Fail!
The world record holder is straight out at a height of 4.2 meters!
"Poof" laughed out loud is the Japanese, although they only have one player, Yafu, but the most feared Elber has gone down, and Yafu still has a big advantage over the other two players! - McDows is only a young man of the two American players, so there is no need to worry, and the strength of Secht and Jaf can be called equal.
Masao, who appeared next, had a typical Japanese look, with a pouting mouth and sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, but it did seem to have the feeling of being light and long, and the Japanese audience chanted his name. I saw that the Japanese team's Dumiao Masao lightly stretched his ape arm, and easily swept the rod in the first jump, and there was still room for it!
The first one succeeded!
The Japanese audience could not hide the joy in their hearts, and the little man who took the lead raised his arms and danced, while the other audience waved their arms and shouted Masao's name even louder.
Not to be outdone, the sturdy leader of the American cheerleaders raised a brass loudspeaker and beckoned the American people to call the name of the country louder and to overshadow the Japanese in momentum.
Perhaps seeing that the Japanese competitor was too relaxed, Secht's first jump was also affected a lot, and he didn't hold it up much, so he fell straight down and failed the challenge. On the other side, Yafu sat on the ground, wrapped in a white blanket, maintaining his body temperature, squinting his eyes as if he was proud, anyway, it was not a big deal to watch the excitement.
However, after adjustments, the second jump Secht played at his original level, successfully jumping over the height of 4.2 meters.
The next to appear is the teenager McDows, the first jump and the second jump failed, and it was not expected by the American audience, but fortunately, for young people, everyone gave more encouragement, and continued to cheer him up by shouting "USA", who said that Americans must not be united? Cheered on by his compatriots, McDows barely crossed the 4.2-meter height and breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, it was China's Fu Baolu who appeared, he had been wrapped in a towel for a long time, and his body should be a little cold, Lu Zhuhu was afraid that he would freeze his stomach again, and he had already taken out his mobile phone in his hand, ready to see that the momentum was not right, and he would be selected to possess him.
The pole vault has been going on for too long, there are few teammates who can keep watching, and the football team has also gone back to rest, that is, Lu Zhuhu can still play with his spirit, and the two students come to encourage, and the cheering is too thin compared to the strong Japan and the United States.
"Let's go!" Lu Zhuhu waved his fist, and Fu Baolu, a handsome guy of mixed Chinese and Russian descent, grinned at him, and his appearance was close to Takeshi Kaneshiro Wu Yanzu.
His hands were a little cold, so he rubbed them before adjusting his grip and rushing out with a rod.
It was 5 centimeters higher than his best – but it looked a bit difficult, as Fu Baolu didn't jump high enough and crashed sideways into the pole.
Lu Zhuhu is very tired today, and he has no patience to see that Fu Baolu is a little tired, so it's better to win early and go back to rest early! Let's smoke one!
Fu Baolu appeared relaxed and calm, and soon got ready for the second jump, but this time he pressed the fiberglass rod down, bent out of the impossible arc of the bamboo pole, and then took advantage of the situation to easily cross the height of 4.2 meters, breaking the national record!
There was no need for such a large elastic potential energy before, Fu Baolu was also constantly adapting to the feeling of the new rod, and the performance just now made Lu Zhuhu's eyes light up, this little brother is really a pole vaulting genius, and he is familiar with it when he plays.
It was also at this time that the others noticed Fu Baolu's rod - the previous height made Fu Baolu's rod not much different from a bamboo pole except for its good appearance. But seeing that the rod could be bent like that and still bounce back to its original shape, whether it was the United States or Japan, everyone who knew how to do it was amazed, and some people whispered in their ears.
The height of the crossbar continued to increase, and several players continued to refresh their results, no matter what height Fu Baolu had, at most he would be able to jump over the second jump, and every time Lu Zhuhu was preparing to open the lottery and put his hand back.
On the U.S. and Japan sides, it was still Jav and Secht who performed better, and the youngster McDaunts looked clumsy, how could he keep up with the other three players every time and not go out.
The height came to 4.35 meters – close to the world record. Looking at the performance of the previous players, although none of them fell behind, Lu Zhuhu had a hunch that the critical juncture of separating the winner seemed to be coming!
Although the game dragged on a little too long, seeing that Fu Baolu could kill all the way here with his own ability, Lu Zhuhu was still getting more and more excited.
Come on, prove that you can win a gold medal on your own! Handsome pot!
