Chapter 130: Two Gold Medals in a Day (Four Watches)

At 8.70 meters, Zhang Guan once again refreshed the best result of the year, and this result is also the best long jump result in ten years.

"8.7 meters, it's a win! We've won! Zhang Guan! Zhang Guan! The narrator shouted almost at the same time as Director Sun, and after a few seconds, the two gradually calmed down, and the narrator said: "Unthinkable! Zhang Guan actually jumped to the 8.7-meter mark! That's 0.08 meters more than the Athletics World Cup just over two months ago! In the long jump event to this level, every 0.01 meters advanced is extremely difficult, and Zhang Guan suddenly improved his score by 0.08 meters! I have the impression that only Mike Powell, the world record holder in the long jump, and the legendary Carl Lewis can achieve this kind of result! ”

Director Sun is obviously more professional than the commentator, he said: "The last 8.7-meter score was set by the world record holder Mike Powell, and then in 1994 and 1995, the American Wald and Cuban Pedrosso also jumped more than 9.7 meters, but since then, no athlete has been able to jump 8.7 meters, which can be said to be the world's best result in the long jump event in 11 years!" ”

Director Sun took a deep breath and continued: "Now we can already announce that Zhang Guan has won the men's long jump championship at the Doha Asian Games!" The 8.7-meter score is unsurpassed in this world! ”

Director Sun's words are full of confidence, as if he is stating a fact, and he is indeed stating a fact.

The competition was not over yet, but the surrounding athletes came forward one after another to congratulate Zhang Guan, and the referee was also aware of the situation and suspended the game.

The camera gave Ben Mazouk a close-up, and Ben Mazouk, who was still in high spirits just now, was already desperate at this time.

Despair! True despair!

8.7 meters. Not just beyond Ben Mazouk's capabilities, but beyond what he imagined. Even Ben Mazouk's coach is world record holder Mike Powell, but he never imagined that he could jump to 8.7 meters.

"8.7 meters! I can't surpass it in my life! It turns out that Zhang Guan's strength has reached this point, it seems that Walidi is right, maybe in Zhang Guan's eyes, we are all just clowns. Ben-Mazuk sighed silently.

……

Coach Mike Powell let out a long sigh knowing he was no longer on his way to getting a lucrative coaching contract for the next two years.

"I really didn't expect that since my generation retired, there would be such a great player in the world! The point is, he's only twenty years old this year. Far from reaching the golden age of a long jumper, maybe the future Zhang Guan will be able to surpass me at my peak! Even if he can't, at least for the next ten years, he will rule the entire long jump program! Coach Powell let out a long sigh, and he suddenly felt as if he couldn't continue to eat the coach's dinner.

A coach of Powell's value cannot be afforded by ordinary people, that is, a tyrant country like Saudi Arabia, which is willing to spend money to hire Powell to teach. The big money owner invited Powell to teach him. It's certainly not just about getting a runner-up, and if there is no championship, Powell is worthless.

However, the appearance of Zhang Guan made Powell feel. Perhaps within ten years, he will not be able to teach a disciple who can surpass Zhang Guan, and if he has always won the second place but cannot win the championship, his value as a coach will be infinitely reduced.

"Maybe I should take a break and stop coaching. You can learn from Johnson, and it's good to be a guest commentator! "Powell's mind is already planning for his future.

……

A few minutes later, the game resumed. Ben Mazouk came on to complete his fifth attempt.

But Zhang's 8.7m mark completely destroyed Ben Mazuk's confidence, and as a result, he didn't even do the most basic walking moves, and made a low-level mistake in this attempt, and the final score was less than 7m.

The next round of the final jump has become more of a arena for athletes to fight for honor. Zhang Guan, who ranked first, scored 8.7 meters, which is certainly unsurpassed, and Ben Mazuk, who finished second, scored 8.42 meters, although this result is not as perverted as Zhang Guan, but with the level of these competitors on the scene, it is also unattainable.

Al Shaba, who finished third, had a time of 8.18m, and there were about two or three of the remaining athletes who could make it to this distance, but only one last attempt remained, and it was unlikely that there would be a reversal.

After the top five players are adjusted in turn, the fourth to eighth places in the men's long jump final of the Doha Asian Games have been determined, plus Zhang Guan, who is determined to be the first place, the suspense is only the second place battle for the two Saudi players.

Al-Shaba tried his best in the final jump, but he still couldn't overtake Ben Mazouk. Zhang Guan then gave up his sixth attempt, followed by Ben Mazouk who also chose to give up his sixth attempt.

At this time, Ben Mazouk's mentality was already on the verge of collapse, and it can be seen from the fifth attempt just now, there were low-level mistakes, and now Ben Mazouk has no intention of competing, so he directly chose to give up.

"Ben Mazouk gave up the game! We congratulate Zhang Guan, this is his first gold medal at this Asian Games, and his first Asian Games gold medal! The commentator seemed very calm, and when Zhang Guan jumped out of the 8.7-meter score just now, the commentator had already vented a lot of excitement, so at this moment, he was more like he was reading a book.

I only heard the commentator continue: "But if you want to continue to enjoy Zhang Guan's competition, please don't go away, two hours later, Zhang Guan will participate in the men's 800-meter preliminaries, and at 23:30, Zhang Guan will also appear in the men's 100-meter field, I believe Zhang Guan will be able to win another gold medal." ”

……

The number of participants in the 800-meter run is similar to that of the 1500-meter race, and the composition of the team is also very similar. The average middle runner is both 800 meters and 1500 meters, so the vast majority of the athletes who participated in the 1500 meters preliminaries yesterday appeared in the 800 meters preliminaries today.

The first 100 meters of the 800-meter starting stage are divided into lanes, so each race can only accommodate eight runners, so the 800-meter heats are one more than the 1500-meter heats, but the competition between athletes is even more brutal. For the same number of competitors, there can be twelve promotion places in the 1500m. In the 800m, there are only eight qualifying places.

In the three 800m heats, the top two teams in the group and the two top three finishers will advance to the final the day after tomorrow, and the grouping of athletes becomes more important. For strong players, it is good to be able to be divided into a weaker group and get the top two to advance directly; Scoring in a stronger group and striving for a third place will definitely give you an advantage when comparing results.

Zhang Guan's luck was very good, he was placed in a group with weak overall strength, and it was not a problem for him to advance.

In the middle-distance running event, Zhang Guan's height and weight have become a burden. He has to use more stamina than the other competitors, so the longer the distance of the race, the smaller the advantage of Zhang Guan, and vice versa. 800 meters is nearly half the distance less than 1500 meters, and Zhang Guan's physical strength is less than half in the case of "follow running", which means that Zhang Guan's 800 meters strength is stronger than 1500 meters.

However, due to the weak overall strength of the athletes in this group, the speed must be relatively slow, and the speed of Zhang Guan's follow-up running depends on the speed of the athletes in front, and the runners in front of them run slowly. Zhang Guan naturally ran slowly, so in the end, although Zhang Guan qualified first in the group, his results were not so eye-catching.

And after an hour-long break, the highlight of today's game. The battle for the men's 100-meter flyer has also officially begun.

In any track and field event, the 100-meter trapeze battle is the main event, but today's 100-meter trapeze battle did not excite the spectators, because the difference in level between the athletes is too large.

Zhang Guan is the world record holder. He had already run under 9.7 seconds, and the best time of the rest of the runners was 10 seconds away, which was more than 0.3 seconds! In the men's 100-meter race. At the end of the race, the speed of the athletes is basically the fastest, and there will be a difference of more than five meters in 0.3 seconds, and such a big gap in the 100-meter race, it can be said that this race has completely lost its spectacle.

So Zhang Guan easily won his second Asian Games gold medal. Saudi Arabia's Habebe finished second in the 100-meter dash, while third place was taken away by rising Japanese star Naoki Tsukahara.

……

On this day, Zhang Guan was not the only athlete in the national track and field team to win the gold medal, and the track and field team also won quite a lot in other events, such as the women's shot put event won the top two and the women's marathon event also won the gold medal. On this day, there were only nine gold medals in the track and field field, and the national team won four of them, so on the bus back, the team members were full of laughter, and Director Luo, as the team leader, and Director Ma, the deputy team leader, were also happy.

"Today's record is quite good, and we have won all the gold medals that we should have won." Director Ma spoke.

"Yes, especially Zhang Guan, who seems to be in good shape! To be honest, when the Saudi Asian jumped out of 8.42 meters, I really sweated for Zhang Guan! Director Luo said with a smile.

Director Ma lowered his voice and said: "According to the schedule, tomorrow will be the final of the 1500 meters, what if Zhang Guan really wins the championship?" Will he really be allowed to run the middle distance in the future? We asked Zhang Guan to come back with six gold medals, but now he has won two, and there are still four left. ”

"If you don't say I'll forget about it!" Director Luo nodded silently: "Judging from the state shown by Zhang Guan today, maybe he can really win the 1500-meter championship." But if he really won the championship, who would think that there are too many gold medals! ”

"What about the middle run? Will you let him continue to participate in the future? Director Ma asked.

Director Luo spread his hands and said very scoundrelly: "You can't ask me about this, you have to ask Director Qu, and let him have a headache when the time comes......" (To be continued.) )
