Chapter 472: Finding Feelings

Duke fouled on the second jump, and everyone felt sorry for him. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

But Duke looked relaxed, and the second jump he was looking for a gamble.

No matter how high the attributes are stacked, how strong the strength is, and how perverted the stunts, the higher the position of the upper board, the farther the jump will be, this is the iron law.

At present, Du Ke does not have a special skill to accurately locate the position of the upper board, and he, like others, finds the starting point of the upper board, relying on the feeling of the moment when the upper board jumps.

Duke returns to the player's lounge area to watch the other competitors try their jumps.

Menkov fouled again on the second jump, Henderson also fouled, and Hatfield saw that the two players with a PB of 8.50 or more were fouled in succession, and felt that the opportunity had come.

Hatfield chose safety first on his second jump, maintaining a high running speed and jumping as soon as his toes touched the back of the springboard, which was effective with a time of 8.19m.

After the next few competitors finished jumping, the second attempt ended.

Doucle is still first with 8.52m, and Rutherford is second with 8.30m, and he is steadily improving his distance.

Wang Jianan's second jump was 8.17 meters, and he ranked fourth. Li Jinze wanted a good result in the second jump, but he was in a hurry and fouled, and he ranked seventh with a score of 8.01 meters in the first jump.

The third test jump begins, and after this jump ends, the top eight remain to continue to compete for the last three jumps, and the 9~12 places are out.

Duke's lead was huge, and he was more than half a meter ahead of Gomis, who finished eighth and had a temporary score of 8 meters.

So Duke continued to find his senses, and he ran quickly and jumped on the board...... Stepping on the line again.

"Looks a little better." Duke walked out of the bunker and muttered to himself, feeling his way out.

TV viewers can see on the live TV screen that the director cut out the position of Du Ke's stepping board at the moment of jumping, and Du Ke's toes crossed the red line by 3.3 cm, which was more than 5 cm on the second attempt.

Duke's first three attempts are all over, and his chances of finishing in the top eight are close to 100%, unless eight competitors jump over 8.52 meters, Duke will be eliminated, which is theoretically possible, but it must be a very unlikely event of hellish +++ difficulty.

Contestants 2~12 start their third attempt.

Menkov didn't dare to play big this time, he deliberately lowered the speed of the run-up, trying to get a safe score to enter the last three jumps...... It turned out to be a foul.

"Russia's defending champion Menkov fouled all three of his first three attempts!" Mr. Yang was a little surprised and also felt sorry for Menkov, "So Menkov will definitely not be able to enter the top eight, because the current eighth place Gomis's score is 8 meters." This is the World Championships, and the defending champions can't even finish in the top eight! ”

"Roar!" Menkov roared in the sky, irritable.

Henderson, the number one player in the United States, is a bald black man, not to mention that he is not tall but has a fast running speed, typical American speed long jumper.

Henderson didn't dare to play big on the third attempt, and another foul was over, and Menkov was a lesson for him. He started to run, jumped without getting on the board, but only jumped 7.95 meters, and he didn't have to play, and he was out.

"Henderson is out too! His 7.95m score could only rank ninth in the top three jumps at most. Teacher Yang had one accident after another, and then began to steal the joy again: "The two masters of the United States and Russia are out one after another, and the boys of the Chinese team have a chance!" Duke's strongest rival for the championship is gone at once, and in this way, Li Jinze and Wang Jiannan may even win medals! In the men's long jump podium of the World Athletics Championships, if there is more than one Chinese athlete, it is not only a history-making, it is simply a miracle! In the past, we didn't dare to think about it, but now it is expected to be realistic, the Bird's Nest is indeed our blessed land, Chinese team, good luck to you! ”

As soon as Mr. Yang's words were finished, Wang Jianan and Li Jinze jumped 8.20 meters and 8.12 meters respectively.

Wang Jiannan set a new PB, with a score of 8.20m moving him up to third. Li Jinze improved his best score in the first three jumps to 8.12 meters, and his ranking rose from seventh to fifth, which is more secure to enter the top eight.

Rutherford, a white British, was also happy, and Menkov and Henderson, who had been fighting with him for several years, actually said goodbye after the first three jumps.

"Protect two, fight for one!" Rutherford did not succumb to Duke's pressure, he won the gold medal in the men's long jump at the London Olympics, and the Olympic champion was truly extraordinary.

Rutherford was solid, with no fouls on his first three attempts, and he improved a little distance on each jump, with his third jump of 8.33m, a three-centimetre improvement over his second.

At the end of the three attempts, the results are as follows:

first, Doucle, 8.52m;

second, Rutherford (English), 8.33m;

third, Wang Jianan, 8.20m;

fourth, Hatfield (US), 8.19m;

fifth, Li Jinze, 8.12m;

sixth, Lapierre (Australia), 8.10m;

seventh, Polyansky (Russia), 8.03m;

Eighth, Gomis (French), 8 meters.

The above eight players stayed on the field to continue to compete in the last three jumps, and the remaining four could only return to the team as spectators.

The Chinese host at the scene enthusiastically told the audience a good news: "Du Ke, Wang Jianan, and Li Jinze, three Chinese players, entered the top eight men's long jump at the World Championships at the same time, and they created the history of long jump in China and even Asia!" Only the U.S. team has finished in the top eight at the two World Championships in Helsinki '83 and Tokyo '91. China's long jump became the second in the world and the first in Asia tonight! ”

"Wow! We're so strong! ”

"It's so enjoyable, this World Championships is really a surprise!"

"So, we've become a track and field powerhouse?"

"Don't get complacent too early, you can't become a track and field powerhouse with just a few individual events."

"In terms of the number of people in the top eight, we became the number one in Asia, and the host was not nonsense. But on this occasion, of course, the host is reporting good news and not bad news. ”

"It's useless to get into the top eight, you have to win medals and gold medals to count. Duke is not too much of a problem, and he can win a medal at the worst of all. But Wang Jiannan and Li Jinze's current results, it is not safe to win medals. ”

The current audience's tastes are also quite tricky, and they are not so easy to fool.

The men's long jump final continues, and the last three jumps are tried one by one in reverse order of the first three jumps.

The last three jumps are tried in reverse order, that is, Gomis, who is ranked eighth in the first three jumps, is the first to try and Duke, who is ranked first, is the last to try to jump.

For the top eight players, there is really nothing to keep in the last three jumps, go all out, jump as far as you can.

Gomis jumped first, 7.65 meters, and the more he jumped, the worse he became...... It is estimated that the pressure is not small, and the last few steps of the run-up are deformed.

Polyansky's running action was not deformed, but he rushed too high and stepped on the line and fouled.

Lapierre jumped with all his might, the referee raised the white flag, and the 8.25m result was valid. He rose to third place.

Li Jinze's pressure has increased sharply, and Brother Glove, who has jumped 8.47 meters, has been plagued by injuries this year and has not been able to return to his peak state for a long time. Lee Kim Taek was fouled on the fourth jump and slipped to sixth.

Hatfield was the only remaining hope for the U.S. team, and he made a powerful jump after a run, actually switching four-and-a-half steps in the air. The oversized angle is reminiscent of Powell, and it's no wonder that Hatfield embroidered the MP895 on the corner of his trousers, and he doesn't just pay homage to his predecessor Mike Powell, he probably wants to be as great a long jumper as Powell.

If the referee didn't raise the red flag, Hatfield would have jumped to near the 8.70m line again.

"Do you really have two beards in the United States?" Duke observed Hatfield's four jumps and found that the explosive power of the jumps was amazing, which was a miracle power, much like Powell's high-jump style.

Hatfield doesn't know whether he was born with divine power or deliberately imitated Powell, and Hatfield, who has only been practicing long jump for two years, has raised the danger level in Duke's mind by two notches. (To be continued.) )
