Chapter 271 The high jump is stabilized first, and the 400-meter run starts

The No. 3 and No. 4 players failed to cross the height of 2.23 meters in one go, while the No. 5 player succeeded in one time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

No. 6 Kenard had already crossed 2.23m, and he didn't choose to skip the 2.26m jump, so he waited for the other competitors to jump 2.23m.

No. 7 Zhang Guowei followed suit, although his personality is a little flamboyant, but he is very cautious about the game, he rarely skips jumping in the official competition, he is used to try to jump in turn from low to high height, step by step to activate his competitive state ignition.

Zhang Guowei ran and jumped, and crossed 2.23 meters at a time, it seems that he is in good shape.

In the subsequent test jump, No. 3 and No. 10 players were eliminated, leaving 9 players, and the following heights were: 2.26m, 2.29m, 2.31m, 2.33m, 2.36m, 2.38m, 2.40m, 2.42m, and 2.44m.

It's 19:05 local time in Portugal and the men's 400m final will fire 10 minutes later.

A track referee came to the high jump area and asked Duke, "Are you competing in the men's 400m final?" ”

Duke replied in the affirmative: "Participate." ”

Track referee: "Then you have a maximum of 5 minutes, at 19:10, if you are not at the starting line, according to the IAAF competition rules, the referee will order you to abstain from the men's 400m final." ”

Duke: "Understood. ”

At this time, the high jump referee held up the No. 2 sign to Duke, signaling that Douc could start trying to jump to the next height.

The track referee didn't know what to say to Duke, and he shrugged, "Looks like you're busy." ”

Duke smiled at the track judge, then walked up to the high jump referee and said, "I don't need to jump 2.26 meters, and I choose to try to jump 2.29 meters in this round." ”

"Yes." The high jump referee nodded, glanced at the track referee who came to urge the battle, and said the same thing to Duke: "It seems that you are very busy." Then he arranged for the assistant referee to raise the par to 2.29m.

"No way, hard work." Duke smiled at the high jump referee and walked to the starting position 25 meters away, ready to run.

"It's almost time to play for real, I don't need to jump 2.26 meters, try to jump 2.29 meters, if it passes, the reserved time on the high jump side should be enough for me to run 400 meters." Duke no longer poses, he took three deep breaths, ready to run.

The track referee didn't leave, he just stood in the high jump area, quietly watching how Duke tried to jump 2.29 meters.

“good! Chinese baby, this is enough, haha! American Kenard applauded Duke, who is also a boisterous man, who went head-to-head with Bondarenko in the Diamond League last year, and he was exempted again and again, and finally failed to challenge 2.40m.

Ukrainian player Prochenko looked at Duke expressionlessly, and it was difficult to figure out what the Ukrainians were thinking, whether he was happy or unhappy.

“3,2,1…… Suddenly! "Duke adjusted his starting condition and started running.

Hanging the eagle halo, after the start, Duke strode and ran in a straight line, he did not turn on the [Fast Frequency Assault] to speed up the run, and was ready to jump 2.29 meters high.

In the last four steps, Duke began to lean inward to cut the arc, he was very confident, the rhythm was quite coherent, and he was confident that he could harder than 2.29 meters.

Duke grasped the stepping point very accurately, not far from the pole and not close, his jumping leg suddenly exerted force, and he took off into the air!

After taking off, Duke pulled his waist and chested up aggressively, and crossed the crossbar with a beautiful back arch.

He crossed 2.29 meters and succeeded.

"Good!" Zhang Guowei stood up and applauded Du Ke, 2.29 meters he jumped seven or eight times out of ten times and could also pass the bar once, but he found that Du Ke's effective bar height was much higher than the crossbar, at least 3 cm, Du Ke's jump was very easy and coherent, impeccable.

Duke has now tried three jumps, 2.19m, 2.23m, and 2.29m, all in one pass, and his success rate is 100%.

After the mat, Duke did not make a celebratory gesture, he said to the high jump judge: "I can't help jumping 2.31m, but I asked for a leave of absence at 2.31m." ”

"Leave of absence approved." The high jump referee replied immediately, and then pointed in the direction of the 400-meter runway: "Good luck, go and go back quickly." ”

"Thank you." Du Ke didn't talk nonsense, trotted all the way out of the high jump area, and ran towards the preparation area of the Chinese team.

There is a leave rule in the high jump, and after crossing 2.29 meters, Duke will try to jump 2.31 meters. He is the number 2, assuming that the number 6, 7, 8 and 12 also cross the 2.29m level, and all four of them try to jump 2.31m, then after Duke takes a leave of absence, he will be the last to appear in the 2.31m height.

That is, No. 6, No. 7, No. 8, and No. 12 competed first, and after the results of these four people were compared, it was Duke's turn to play.

If within 1 minute of the four-man competition, Du Ke has not returned to the high jump zone and started running, the referee will award Du Ke a failed attempt to jump 2.31 meters.

Duke applied the rules to the extreme, buying himself effective time, so that his high jump and 400 meters were not delayed.

He knows that not everyone will be exempt from jumping 2.26 meters or 2.29 meters, and there are not many players who have the strength to do this, and the three of Kinard, Prochenko, and Zhang Guowei have this strength, but Prochenko and Zhang Guowei's style of competition is more stable, in fact, it is Kinader, a black American athlete, who loves to avoid it.

At 19:08, Du Ke ran back to the preparation area of the Chinese team, took off his jumping shoes, socks, and sports vests as quickly as possible, and then immediately changed into new socks, vests, and running shoes, and had no time to rest, he immediately ran to the starting line of the 400-meter curve after changing his equipment, and the time at this time was just 19:10. Arriving on time, he qualified for the men's 400m final.

Within 5 minutes, Duke jumped 2.26 meters in the high jump area and crossed 2.29 meters in a beautiful jump, he did not stop, immediately ran back to the team's rest area to change running shoes, new vests, and socks, and then appeared at the starting line of the men's 400m final at the last moment of the allotted time.

"Duke is really a man like the wind......" Chinese reporters were encouraged and worried, Du Ke was so tormented, although he did not delay the 400-meter final, can his body be used?

The 30,000 Portuguese spectators were also fascinated by the picture of Duke shuttling back and forth in the finals of the field and track events, and they had not seen such a hurried part-time athlete for a long time. Other players are more than a single event, all of them are like facing a big enemy, this Chinese player is chic, rushing on both sides, but he is really busy!

Duke was already at the start of the 400-meter bend of the track racetrack, and he was on track 4.

Hanging around like a courier, Du Ke is also helpless, he didn't mean to play like this, if he can rest enough and then compete with the next single item, who wants to toss like this.

The 400m final was fired at 19:15, and before the gun was fired, the host on the spot would introduce the finalists' paths, nationalities, and names, so Duke had to be in place before 19:10, otherwise the referee would disqualify him.

The host of the scene began to introduce the eight finalists of the men's 400m, and Dukoche [eagle wings] for [wolf ears], ready for the race. (To be continued.) )
