The Doha Asian Games are the largest Asian Games in recent years, with a total of 11,000 athletes from 45 countries and regions competing in 423 events, which is much more than the previous Busan Asian Games.

In terms of competitions, the Asian Games are also different from the Olympic Games, for example, the Doha Asian Games will have events such as bodybuilding, bowling, chess, billiards, rattan, squash, kabaddi and so on.

The opening ceremony of the Doha Asian Games is on December 1, but the start of the athletics event is December 7, so the national track and field team can arrive in Doha a little later. But Zhang Guan, as the flag bearer of the delegation's phalanx, must have arrived in Doha ahead of schedule.

On the evening of December 1, in the opening ceremony of the Doha Asian Games, Zhang Guan appeared as the flag bearer of the national team, which earned enough attention from the media. In the days that followed, Zhang Guan mainly did some adaptation training, and occasionally went to the field to watch other events, until December 5, when the other coaches and athletes of the national track and field team arrived in Doha, Zhang Guan was officially home.

Since the official start of the Asian Games in Doha on December 2, the national team has also overcome all the obstacles, winning 16 gold medals on December 2, 13 gold medals on December 3, 9 gold medals on December 4, 22 gold medals on December 5, and 16 gold medals on December 6.

On December 7, the first major track and field competition of the Asian Games officially began. On this day, there are only two track and field competitions in one event, namely the men's 20km race walk and the women's 20km race walk. Race walking has always been a national team's strength, and they have the ability to win medals even at world competitions, let alone in Asia. In the end, the national team won the gold medals in the men's and women's 20km race walks, making a good start for the track and field event.

On December 8, the competition in the main venue of the athletics event of the Doha Asian Games officially began. Zhang Guan will also make his debut on the stage of the Asian Games on this day.

In this day's track and field competition, Zhang Guan needs to compete in four events, namely the men's long jump qualifying round, the men's 100m preliminaries and semifinals, the men's 400m preliminaries and semifinals, and the men's 1500m heats.

In terms of schedule, the men's long jump qualifying round and the men's 100-meter preliminaries were only five minutes apart in the start time, and five minutes after the start of the long jump preliminaries, the first round of the men's 100-meter preliminaries officially started, which is somewhat similar to the previous track and field World Cup, but this time Zhang Guan did not have to worry about the overlap of the competition time.

The 100-meter sprint is the largest number of athletes in track and field events, with more than 40 athletes from all over the world participating. In the first round of preliminaries, there were five groups of contests, and Zhang Guan, as the player with the biggest name, was arranged in the last group of the preliminaries, that is, the fifth group.

In the preliminaries of the 100-meter sprint event of the Asian Games, the men's and women's competitions were intersected, with a women's 100-meter preliminaries followed by a men's 100-meter preliminaries, and then a women's second 100-meter preliminaries, and so on. Therefore, Zhang Guan's fifth group needs to wait for the first four groups of male players and four groups of female players to finish the competition. before the game began. The first eight 100m preliminaries will take half an hour to finish, and half an hour is enough time for Zhang Guan to complete one or two test jumps.

In the men's long jump, more than 20 athletes have signed up for the Doha Asian Games, and according to the rules, each athlete can try three jumps in the qualifying round. The top 12 finishers will advance to the finals. According to the time of one minute per person, the entire long jump preliminaries can be finished in more than an hour.

Zhang Guan drew the sixth appearance in the draw, and the playing position was relatively high, but for Zhang Guan. The order of appearance in the preliminaries does not matter, and Zhang Guan is eager to complete the long jump competition faster.

The long jump competition started at 2:20 p.m. in China. Although this day is not a weekend off, the ratings in the afternoon are still very good, especially the appearance of Zhang Guan, which makes the Asian Games broadcast ratings in this time period climb a lot.

"Audience friends, the next thing to be held is the men's long jump qualifying event! This is also a long-awaited competition, Zhang Guan will make his debut in this Asian Games! The commentator of CCTV looked at the manuscript in his hand, and continued: "Zhang Guan won the world championship of men's long jump in the World Cup track and field competition in September. Director Sun, what do you think? ”

Director Sun, a guest next to the commentator, immediately said: "Actually, I think that whether Zhang Guan's state is good or bad does not affect him to win the final championship, after all, this is only the Asian Games." If it is the World Championships in Athletics or the Olympic Games, Zhang Guan may need some time to adjust himself to the best condition, but in the Asian Games, the opponent wants to be weaker, and I think there is no suspense in winning the championship at the level of Zhang Guan. ”

"Hehe, it seems that Director Sun is very optimistic about Zhang Guan." The narrator continued.

"Yes." Director Sun admitted categorically, and then continued: "In the last Athletics World Cup, Zhang Guan made his first appearance in the international long jump, although I didn't watch the live broadcast of that game, but I also watched the briefing of the game, Zhang Guan only made two test jumps in that competition. The first time was 8.58 meters, and the second time was 8.63 meters, these two results not only broke the world record twice, but also twice refreshed the best long jump score of the year, and this result of 8.63 meters is the best result in the world in the long jump event in the past six years. ”

"So Director Sun, can I understand it this way, the current Zhang Guan is the strongest long jumper in the world?" The narrator immediately asked.

"In terms of the best results, so to speak." Director Sun continued: "And I personally think so. ”

As the two talked, the competition began, the athletes took the stage one by one, and the top three competitors quickly completed their respective test jumps.

"Oh, the next one to play is Kuwait's Al Hadad, and after Haddad jumps, it's Zhang Guan's turn!"

The top four players didn't play well, either fouling or disastrous, while the fifth-place Colwill youngster Al Haddadi did a good job, jumping 7.55m.

"Finally someone jumped more than 7.5 meters." Zhang Guan thought as he walked up to the running area.

I saw that Zhang Guan almost didn't make any preparations, and began to run, and in terms of the starting position, Zhang Guan also chose to be more conservative, and started to take off when he was still far from the performance. But even so, Zhang Guan still easily skipped the eight-meter mark.

"Zhang Guan jumped eight meters! 8.13 meters, this is the best result so far, Zhang Guan's expression looks very relaxed, I think I am very satisfied with this result. That's enough to make it to the finals! The narrator spoke.

"That's right, a good score of 8.13 meters is enough to reach the final even in the Olympics." Director Sun's voice suddenly burst into high spirits: "Huh? Zhang Guan put on his coat and began to pack his backpack. ”

Zhang Guan, who was on the TV screen, had already come to the sidelines and put towels and other items in his backpack.

"I guess Zhang Guan is ready to give up the remaining two attempts! Indeed, this result has fully ensured that he will be able to reach the final, it is better to save some energy, and he has two more races in the 100m and 400m. Director Sun said immediately.

Sure enough, after Zhang Guan finished sorting out his equipment, he turned around and left the area of the long jump arena directly.

"Cut ......" Ben Mazuk, who had not yet made his first attempt not far away, said disdainfully: "I wanted to compete with you, but I didn't expect to run away......"

……

Half an hour later, Zhang Guan appeared on the track to participate in the men's 100m heats.

In the 100-meter race, 24 of the 40 runners will be able to advance to the next round, and the top four players in each group plus the top four with the best results can be promoted, so the competition is not very fierce, and in the first four preliminaries, the other two players of the Chinese team have also successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

Standing on the track, Zhang Guan looked at the competitors from all countries on both sides, and suddenly had a feeling of returning to the past. When Zhang Guan went abroad for the first time to compete and participated in the Asian Athletics Championships, the situation was similar to now.

"It's been more than three years! Back then, I felt that participating in an Asian Athletics Championships was a good achievement, but now when I come to the Asian arena, it is really a bit like beating up children. ”

Zhang Guan smiled self-deprecatingly, and at this time, the starting gun also rang out. Ten seconds later, Zhang Guan advanced to the top of the group without any suspense.

"It's another race, and after the 400m heats for a while, there will be no race for me this morning! Clock in and out! Zhang Guan thought with a relaxed face.

……

After another half an hour, Zhang Guan appeared on the track and field again, and this time it was the 400-meter preliminaries.

The national team only sent one athlete Zhang Guan to participate in the men's 400-meter race, and Japan in East Asia sent three athletes, while West and South Asian countries sent more athletes in this event, such as India and Sri Lanka in South Asia, Saudi Arabia and Qatar in West Asia, among which three athletes from Saudi Arabia are all African naturalized corps.

"I don't know any of these players! There are no blacks in my group, that is, there are no naturalized athletes, and it seems that it is good to run casually. Zhang Guan looked at the other contestants around him, and suddenly, he saw a somewhat familiar face.

"I think I've seen this guy somewhere. Kindness? Indian? Come to think of it. He's the Indian Flyer, what's Binu...... I remember him saying in an interview that he was going to challenge me? Zhang Guan had a disdainful smile on his face. (To be continued.) )
