Duke jumped an astonishing score of 8.81 meters, and the audience was boiling!

All eight competitors completed their fourth jumps, and Duke remained in first place with 8.81m, a full 40cm ahead of second place Rutherford at 8.41m. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the men's long jump final of the World Championships, 40 centimeters is several grades different, 10 centimeters is a grade, and 40 centimeters is crushing.

Rutherford almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood, he was getting better and better, he was originally ambitious and ready to gamble with all his might in the last two jumps, but now, the gap between 8.41 meters and 8.81 meters, 40 centimeters is so dazzling, how can you bet?

If you don't want to bet, you have to bet, the game has to go on, and the fifth jump begins.

The first few competitors made the choice to assess the situation, and they gave up competing with Duke for the championship and took the medal as their first goal.

Mentality dictates technical moves, and the four players Gomis, Lapierre, Polyansky, and Lee Jin-taek don't have much mental baggage, so let's unleash ourselves and challenge for their personal bests.

The quartet took the lead in the fifth jump, with Lapierre crossing the 8.30m line to 8.32m, setting a new PB for his third place.

Next up was Hatfield, the only player on the U.S. team to finish in the top eight, and the responsibility of reviving the American long jump and promoting the spirit of his predecessors fell on the shoulders of the black lad.

Hatfield was too gambling, and by this time he was still sprinting hard, and he ran his fastest run with all his might, and after getting on the board, he jumped into the air and he also flew.

As far as spectatorship is concerned, Duke, who was sitting on the ground watching the game, also applauded Hatfield's jump.

Black American athletes have a solid foundation in running and jumping, not to mention long jumpers, just look at American basketball and football players.

Hatfield, who is very physical, has a very different mindset than the other competitors, jumping five times, committing four fouls and stepping on the line on his fifth jump.

If Hatfield calms down and closes it on the board, he has a good chance of jumping over the 8.50m line, and his qualifying score of 8.40m ranks first in the qualifying round. If you can't win a gold medal, you can also win a bronze medal with a guarantee, and you have a lot of confidence to win a silver medal, but Hatfield may think that if you don't win the gold medal, even if you come to the World Championships for nothing, he will fall into trouble with Duke, and he must kill Duke.

"This American dude is too competitive." Duke smiled and muttered to himself, but he also felt a little admiration for Hatfield.

Some athletes are very persistent and persistent to the point of going crazy, but often the earth-shattering good results come from these stubborn athletes.

Hatfield held high and didn't hit the south wall and didn't look back. Rutherford has a bit of a taste of the end of the strong crossbow, mainly because he is deflated, 8.81 meters has too much psychological deterrent effect on him, and under heavy pressure, Rutherford's fifth jump is extremely bad, and he only jumped 7.88 meters, which is an ultra-low level of performance for him.

Then Duke came out and the audience stood up, and they chanted, "Eight meters nine!" ”

There are also people who fanatically shout "breaking the world record" and "nine meters".

The commentators, Mr. Yang and Director Huang, stood up and explained: "Could it be that tonight, in the Bird's Nest, Du Ke is going to open the 90 or even 9-meter mark?" He still has two more jumps! ”

The host of the scene is also very good at building momentum: "The 100-meter run and the long jump have always been in the same vein, Du Ke left the men's 100-meter world record in the Bird's Nest last night, tonight, can he leave the long jump world record together!?" ”

The audience of 80,000 or 90,000 people roared magnificently: "Yes! ”

Australia's Lapierre was almost scared, Australia is vast and sparsely populated, and there are only 80,000 or 90,000 people in a small city, which may not be enough.

Even Du Ke was shocked, although he looked relatively calm, but he began to complain about the host in his heart: Big brother, you want to play me to death?

Athletes, especially sprinters and jumpers, need to be stimulated and inspired, and there is absolutely a difference between 80,000 or 90,000 people chanting their names together and playing single machine in front of an empty stadium.

However, the world record of 8.95 meters, and even breaking the 9-meter mark, Du Ke knew that it was not easy to do it with a few shouts.

At this time, the Bird's Nest set off an extremely frenzied atmosphere, and some male viewers were enthusiastic under the rendering of the host, they took off their shirts and dragged them in their hands, and raised their hands over their heads and swayed wildly.

"This is crazy...... "Du Ke, who has already stood on the runway, is a little afraid to start the run.

The Bird's Nest has fallen into an abnormal state of euphoria, and even makes people associate with the fanatical worship of some special eras.

Only a few people can keep their sanity, such as Duke and Randy Huntington, Duke's American foreign coach.

Huntington is not Chinese, in his eyes athletes are athletes, and the identity of athletes comes first, then nationality.

Huntington, who coached Powell in the '90s, knows better than anyone how Powell's world record of 8.95m came about.

The American coach was very happy when he saw the Chinese coaches, he was one of the few people in the coaching team who could keep calm, and Huntington could only complain to his little translator: "In this sacred stadium, you Chinese spectators plus other personnel are nearly 100,000 people, and they put too much pressure on Duke." Playing at home has an incomparable advantage, but doing too much has side effects. ”

"It's too much." The interpreter said in Chinese, and she didn't think of how these four words should be translated for a while, and then asked in English: "Du Ke jumped to 8.81 meters at once, which is very close to 90, and he can break the world record by jumping another 15 centimeters." ”

"My lady, it's not as easy as you think." Huntington shook his head and said, "No one knows Mike Powell and Carl Lewis better than me, and Mike and Carl have been battling between 8.50m and 8.70m in the men's long jump final at the World Championships in Tokyo '91. On the fourth jump, Mike jumped 8.79 meters to the 8.80 meter mark, and he was 8 centimeters ahead of second place Karl. Karl was pressed by Mike, the two were brothers off the field, but they showed no mercy on the track, and Carl, who was hungry for the championship, was stimulated and jumped an astonishing 8.91 meters in the fifth jump, setting a new world record at the time. ”

The translator was drawn to Huntington's story: "Wow, that's exciting! '91, uh, I was two years old then, and it seems there's an old story between the great Lewis and Powell. ”

Huntington looked at Douc on the runway, and found that Douce still hadn't started running, and said: "After Carl jumped a new world record of 8.91 meters, Mike, who was cornered, only had one last chance to try the jump, and then a miracle happened, Mike jumped the greatest jump in track and field history and even human history to date - 8.95 meters." ”

"The men's long jump world record was broken twice in 10 minutes at one World Championships, and after the Tokyo World Championships, Mike Powell and Carl Lewis never met again in the competition, either Carl was injured or Mike had an accident, and they never jumped 8.90 meters again, not once, until they retired."

The translator suddenly realized: "I see, Duke can't find an opponent in the long jump, he is 40 centimeters ahead of the second place, the advantage is too obvious." So our Duke needs some kind of thrill to explode, and this thrill is not just the crazy shouts of the audience, Duke needs an equally powerful opponent to stimulate and even provoke him in order to create incredible results. For example, in the 100-meter final, Duke had a big demon-level opponent, Usain Bolt, so he ran 9.52 seconds. ”

"That's it." Huntington nodded, then said to himself, "Unless a miracle happens." ”

The reason Huntington had been chatting with his interpreter for so long was because Duke hadn't started running.

Then something unexpected happened, and Douc stepped off the runway and he gave up his fifth jump.

"Wow~" The audience was in an uproar, what was the situation, why didn't Duke jump? We all shouted in vain just now......

"This ......" the interpreter was dumbfounded, she couldn't understand: "Why did Duke give up the fifth jump?" No matter what the result is, you have to give it a try, and it doesn't matter if you foul. ”

Huntington laughs, "It's probably wiser to give up at this time than to hold on." ”

The translator shook his head in confusion: "I don't understand ......"

Huntington didn't explain either, just predicted: "Doucle won't give up on the last jump, and if seven opponents can't jump 8.81 meters, Douco will end the fight with a smooth score, and this is his show time." ”

In the last jump, none of the other seven competitors jumped 8.81 meters, not even 8.30 meters, because there were too many fouls, and everyone went all out to make the last jump.

Duke was already the champion at this time, and the final ranking of the men's long jump final was all produced.

There was no doubt that Duke would win the title with a score of 8.81m, and no matter what his last jump was, he was the first, as second place Rutherford scored 8.41m.

Lapierre won the bronze medal with a time of 8.32m in the fifth jump, and the two Chinese players, Wang Jiannan and Li Jinze, unfortunately did not win the medal, and they ranked fifth and seventh respectively.

Duke started to run, his last jump was no longer about the position or the medal, and all Doucle wanted to do was to close the final with a valid result that did not foul.

In the end, Duke jumped 8.61m in the sixth jump, and the men's long jump final ended.

"Congratulations to Duke for winning the men's long jump title at the 2015 World Athletics Championships, his second World Championships gold medal!" Mr. Yang summed up the long jump final, "8.81 meters has become a new Asian record, and Du Ke has become the first yellow long jump world champion!" (To be continued.) )
