"Wait, Duke, I'll beat you! We'll see you again tomorrow! Blake complained after the men's 100m heats. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"He's not that easy to beat." Teammate Usain Bolt said.

Blake: "I don't believe it, he can run the 400m final and the 100m final in 25 minutes? He'll have to make a choice tomorrow night and I'd like to see how he'll choose, 100m or 400m. ”

Usain Bolt: "I want him to run the 100m final, yes, I want him to do that. ”

Tomorrow night's schedule will be extremely difficult for Duke, who will run three consecutive shots in the 100m semi-final, 400m final and 100m final in 1 hour and 25 minutes.

In fact, tonight's schedule is also very tight.

At 7 p.m., the Havelange Stadium is filled with more than 50,000 spectators, where four athletics gold medals will be decided tonight: men's long jump, men's 10,000m, women's 100m, and women's heptathlon.

Duke changed into jumping shoes to prepare for the men's long jump final.

Duke is considered by the media to be the biggest favorite to win gold in the men's long jump, he holds the Asian record of 8.81m, and only two of the other 11 athletes have jumped above 8.50m, Henderson of the United States and Rutherford of the United Kingdom.

A total of 12 competitors participated in the men's long jump final, with Duke drawing the No. 11 pick and the eleventh place to try the jump.

The No. 1 athlete was Du Ke's teammate Wang Jianan, whose first attempt jump was 7.78m, which was quite average.

Wang Jianan shook his head not very satisfied after leaving the bunker, and then walked to the rest area and looked at the coaching staff of the Chinese track and field team with a look of help.

The coaches and staff of all teams are not allowed to enter the competition area and the athletes' rest area at will, and Director Zhao of the China Athletics Management Center and Randy Huntington, foreign coach of the long jump, stood in the coach's seat area, paying attention to the men's long jump final.

At the edge of the athletes' rest area, there is a billboard that is five or six meters away from the coach's seat, and the coach is not allowed to leave the coach's seat to enter the competition area, and the athlete is not allowed to climb over the billboard and rush to the coach's seat.

Wang Jianan stood behind the billboard and shouted to Coach Huntington, "Randy, I feel a little wrong!" "It was spoken in English.

Coach Randy Huntington is from the United States, he is a middle-aged and elderly white uncle, slightly fat, wearing a peaked cap.

"The run-up is too slow, too slow! Hurry up for me, and after five steps, you have to actively accelerate! Huntington yelled at Wang Jianan.

“ok！” Wang Jianan nodded, he needed the coach's on-the-spot command. In the second attempt, he will speed up the running level and strive to jump more than 8 meters, at least 8 meters, otherwise there is a high chance that he will not get the next three attempts.

Two members of the Chinese track and field team advanced to the men's long jump final, Du Ke and Wang Jianan.

Each of the 12 contestants tried three jumps in the long jump finals, and after three attempts, the top eight players remained, and 9~12 were eliminated.

The remaining eight competitors tried three more jumps, plus the previous three attempts, and the top eight competitors each jumped six times in the final, and the farthest of the six attempts was the final personal result.

The No. 2 player was Lawson of the American team, who jumped hard and visually landed at a distance of more than 8.35 meters, but the referee raised the red flag: stepping on the line and committing a foul, the result was invalid.

"Oh, that's bad!" Lawson was so remorseful that he stepped on the line by 2 centimeters.

Bang!

At the same time, the starting gun rang out on the track and the first group of the men's 400m semifinals began.

Duke, who was on standby in the long jump rest area, immediately focused on the men's 400m semifinals after Lawson's first attempt.

The long jump area is on the outside of lane 9 of the 100m straight, an area between the runway and the stands.

Brush Brush Brush Brush!

Eight men's 400m runners rushed past Duke in quick succession.

The 100 meters, 200 meters, and 400 meters are all sprint events with two shots in the finals and three shots in the championship.

The 24 men's 400m runners are divided into three groups to compete in the semi-finals, with the top two in each group advancing directly to the 400m final, while the other two fastest runners also qualify for the final.

Duke was in the third group of the men's 400m semi-finals, where he will compete later.

Attentive viewers discovered: "The men's 400m semifinals and the men's long jump final are being held at the same time, how will Duke play?" ”

In the long jump position, No. 7 player Henderson jumped 8.19 meters at this time, temporarily ranking first.

No. 8 Rutherford jumped a little further, 8.21m, and the Briton immediately grabbed the first place.

"The tactics of Henderson and Rutherford are very clear, and the starting position of the first jump is relatively backward, and they need an insurance score of more than 8.15 meters." Yang teacher of Yang 5 explained.

Commentator Kan continued: "In the men's long jump finals of the recent Olympic Games, if you get a score of more than 8.15 meters, you will be able to get the last three jumps. ”

Bang!

At this time, the men's 400m second group semi-finals were fired.

Teacher Yang: "Tonight's track and field schedule is very intensive, and the men's 400m semifinals and men's long jump finals are being held at the same time. Oh, it looks like the 400m semi-finals are dangerous! ”

Coach Kan: "Judging from the results of the first two groups of the men's 400m semifinals, the athletes almost treat the semifinals as the final. This has a lot to do with the competition system, the top two in each group go directly to the finals, the remaining 18 people have to fight for results, and 18 people fight for the other two finals, which is too cruel. The semi-finals were even more brutal than the finals. ”

In the long jump area, the two players on the 9th and 10th fouled one after another, and then Duke came out.

After the referee signals to prepare, each long jumper has 1 minute to prepare, and must complete the test jump within 1 minute, otherwise the test will not result.

After the long jumper completes the attempt, the referee confirms the result and the assistant referee fills the bunker with a shovel, which takes some time.

When Duke stepped onto the long jump runway, the men's 400m semifinals were about to begin in the third group.

There were seven runners standing on the 400-meter starting line, lane 4 was empty, and Duke was supposed to be in lane 4, but he had not yet completed his first attempt in the long jump final.

The seven men's 400m runners on the track were all standing, some with their waists crossed and some with their chests hugged, looking at the long jump area and paying attention to Duke's performance on the first jump.

Men's 400m world record holder Douc was not on the 400m starting line, and the starter in charge of the 400m semi-finals did not appear to be planning to fire the gun.

So the remaining seven men's 400m runners can only wait, and when Duke comes, the third group of 400m semifinals can be played.

"This guy is too busy, isn't he?" Some people find it interesting, such as Santos of Costa Rica in lane 2.

"Why should the seven of us wait for him alone? If he doesn't come to run the 400m semi-finals, then he will be sentenced to abstain! "There are also people who are extremely dissatisfied, such as Jamaican Francis in lane 8.

Others remained silent, such as South Africa's Van Niekerk in lane 5.

Du Ke also felt a little embarrassed, so many people were waiting for him, it was always a little inappropriate, how big is the international influence, and the global live broadcast.

Duke started running, making his first attempt in the long jump final.

He hung the [Eagle's Wings] and did not turn on the [Fast Frequency Assault], because the [Fast Frequency Assault] was reserved for the 400m semi-finals.

After all, there are 6 chances in the long jump, and there is only one chance in the 400m semifinals, and safety comes first.

Even without the acceleration of the [Fast Assault], Duke's regular running speed is faster than any long jumper, and he is the world record holder in the men's 100m run.

Duke's first 18 steps were consistent in his stride, and in the final five, he shortened his stride slightly and increased his cadence at the same time.

The key determinant of the perfect take-off force and take-off angle at the moment of take-off is the rapid displacement of the last three to five steps.

Duke quickly got on the board and jumped suddenly!!

After three mid-air steps, Duke landed.

The referee raised the white flag, and the result was valid: the wind speed was 0.1 m/s against the wind, and the distance was 8.60 meters.

"8.60 meters! Duke jumped 8.60m on his first jump! Although Duke holds the Asian record of 8.81m, this is the Olympic final, and the pressure of any other event cannot be compared to the Olympic final.

"8.60m, that's almost a championship result!" Coach Kan was very excited, "The other 11 long jumpers did not have a personal best of 8.60 meters. With a jump of 8.60 meters, Duke is likely to take away this Olympic long jump gold medal in one jump! (To be continued.) )
