As of this morning, Kenya is at the top of the gold medal standings.

Kenyans won four gold medals in the women's 10,000m, men's 3,000m hurdles, men's 400m hurdles and men's 800m.

The Chinese team achieved the best ranking in history, temporarily ranking second in the gold medal table with three gold medals, all three gold medals came from Du Ke alone, 100 meters, 200 meters, and long jump.

The British team finished third with two gold medals in the men's 10,000m by Mo Farah and Ennis in the women's heptathlon.

The rest of the gold medal winners are tied for fourth, with one gold medal, including the United States and Jamaica.

The U.S. won a gold medal in the men's shot put over the first four days, while Jamaica's Fraser narrowly beat Speers in the women's 100m final to claim Jamaica's only gold medal to date.

The landscape of world athletics is quietly changing, and the United States, the No. 1 power in track and field, and the Jamaican team, the No. 1 sprint power, have severely challenged their former dominance.

Now that the heroes are rising, you pry a brick, I uncover a tile, and the rebel armies of various countries are dividing up and dismantling the foundation of the traditional monopolist.

In the men's 400m preliminaries in the morning, the leader of the rebel army, Du Ke, advanced to the semifinals with the first place in the group.

At 7 p.m., Duke changed into jumping shoes, and he was about to compete in the men's high jump final.

News such as "One session of four golds, let me witness the birth of a legend together" and "Can the men's high jump achieve the great cause of Duke's four gold kings" spread all over various media platforms.

All the high-level officials of the IAAF, the powerful figures of the IOC/OCA, the members of the leading group of the Chinese Sports Federation, the mayor of the capital, the leaders of some national ministries and commissions, and leaders from all walks of life gathered on the rostrum of the Bird's Nest.

The bosses of those well-known brands at home and abroad endorsed by Du Ke, they sit on both sides of the rostrum, and the bosses may look forward to Du Ke being crowned four gold kings in one fell swoop and becoming the first person in the history of the World Championships.

Raincoats and umbrellas distributed to the audience for free, T-shirts with the word "China" printed on the chest, small trumpets, light sticks, a pair or two of rattle sticks, empty hats, various models of five-star red flags, slogan banners, these items are all paid by Du Ke's sponsors to sponsor the organizing committee, the price of a single product is not expensive, but a complete set of cheering kits adds up to hundreds of yuan, 890,000 people receive a set every day, for nine days in a row, tens of millions of yuan and nearly 100 million.

Sponsor bosses are not short of money, as long as Duke is bullish.

The men's high jump at the World Athletics Championships has never been so much in the spotlight, with 80,000 or 90,000 people in the Bird's Nest tonight and hundreds of millions of TV/Internet viewers around the world watching the men's high jump final.

Duke unscrewed a bottle of mineral water, and instead of drinking it, he poured a handful of water into his palm, and washed his face with the palm water to keep himself sober and calm. No matter how high the media touted it, the audience was so enthusiastic that Du Ke just reminded himself repeatedly: guard against arrogance and rashness, don't smash the act.

The height of the high jump final is set as: 2.20, 25, 29, 33, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50.

If the 2.50m winner is not forthcoming, the referee will arrange an extra match, which of course is almost impossible to happen.

In the Bird's Nest high jump area, the referee carefully placed the crossbar to the initial height of 2.20 meters, and the referee measured the height of the crossbar with calipers for a long time, and they were also nervous, and they didn't dare to be sloppy at all.

After confirming the height of the crossbar, the referee raised the flag and signaled: Player 1 can try to jump.

The much-anticipated men's high jump final officially kicked off.

The No. 1 player is Zhang Guowei, who crossed 2.20m with ease.

The next No. 2~11 players also crossed 2.20 meters at a time, and it seems that everyone is very cautious and chooses to jump from 2.20 meters, except for Du Ke.

Douca's draw number 12 was the last of the 12 finalists to jump, and he jumped 2.20m, as well as 2.25m and 2.29m, and he will start with 2.33m.

Except for one no-jumper, the other 11 competitors all crossed 2.20 meters at one time, and the bar rose to 2.25 meters, so let's continue to jump.

At 2.25m, Greece's Baneotis was eliminated three times, while the rest of the runners moved to 2.29m.

At a height of 2.29 meters, three more people were eliminated, and the crossbar rose to 2.33 meters.

At this time, there were still eight people left on the field, Zhang Guowei, Bashim, Bondarenko, Delauin and other four people passed 2.33 meters at one time, and Thomas, Tamberg, Keinard and other three people did not jump 2.33 meters on their first attempt.

Duke is finally on the pitch and will make his first jump in the final.

Without jumping to the first three heights, Duke sat in the rest area and was not idle, he was observing the performance of all the opponents who entered the 2.33-meter height.

"Bashim didn't jump 2.29m on his first attempt, and he had the lowest power in the split. Zhang Guowei, Bondarenko, and Delauin were all one-time passes at all heights, and their success rate was 100%, so I still had to put safety first on my first jump. Duke knew the success rate of his opponents, and he started to run on the J-shaped route.

"Duke is still safe and reassuring." The senior director of the Chinese track and field team patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at Du Ke's starting position and the running route of the first few steps, and knew that Du Ke would not play big in the final.

"In such an important competition, no matter how high his art is, he will not dare to be bold, and the most admirable thing about Du Ke is that he distinguishes which is more important." Director Zhao of the Athletics Management Center nodded and said that before the game, he reminded Du Ke countless times that he should not do any prone pose in the high jump final, but Director Zhao was also afraid that Du Ke would not know when to play hard, and now it seems that Du Ke is still very steady.

Duke has reached the last four steps, one, two, three, four...... He took the final step into the air and crossed with his back to the bar.

"It's over!" Director Zhao and Director Gao fisted each other, 2.33 meters is not difficult for Du Ke, but both of them understand that the country is beaten step by step.

At a height of 2.33 meters, three more people were eliminated, and five people, including Du Ke, Zhang Guowei, Bashim, Bondarenko, and Derouin, entered the height of 2.36 meters.

The situation of the men's high jump final is gradually clear, and the medals will be produced among the five masters, except for Zhang Guowei, the other four are members of the 2.40 meter club, but Zhang Guowei also jumped a personal best of 2.38 meters this year, he is a small master.

The crossbar rose to 2.36 meters, and Zhang Guowei tried to jump first...... Not ever.

Bashim secretly cheered himself on, as long as he crossed 2.36 meters at a time, he would at least suppress Zhang Guowei.

As a result, Bashim's first attempt to jump 2.36m also failed.

Bondarenko is happy, his current success rate is 100%, Zhang Guowei and Bashim have broken all the gold, if Bondarenko can cross 2.36m at a time, he will secure the first position and put pressure on Delauin and Duke.

However, the confident Bondarenko jumped too close and hit the pole before he could stretch out his aerial movements, and his first attempt to jump 2.36m also ended in failure.

Delauin's face is expressionless, but his heart is full of joy, and he can't pass 2.36 meters, please God bless me to be able to pass the pole at one time!

God didn't come to the bird's nest tonight, and Delauin also planted it at a height of 2.36 meters.

Du Ke, who had been watching and thought that he would have to reach a height of 2.38 meters or even more than 40 to decide the victory, saw that the four competitors in front of him had failed in their first attempt to jump 2.36 meters, his eyes lit up, and a bold idea lingered in his mind: the opportunity has come!
