Chapter 135: One Jump to Win

Zhang Guan is the second player to appear, and after Zhang Guan, there is also the Romanian athlete Opria.

Opglia jumped 17.22 seconds on the first attempt, which effectively sealed a top-eight spot. Therefore, the result of Opglia's third jump will not affect the allocation of places in the top eight.

Currently in eighth place is Russia's Spasokhovsky with a score of 16.79m, so Zhang Guan only needs to jump a 16.80m to squeeze out Spasokhowski and enter the top eight. However, if Zhang Guan does not jump 16.80 meters, or fails to jump on the third attempt, he will be eliminated.

Therefore, Zhang Guan's third attempt is not only important for Zhang Guan, but also for Spasokhowski.

Spasokhowski on the sidelines was of course the most nervous person, he kept drawing a cross on his chest, silently praying to God in his heart. Li Yanxi's first attempt just now almost surpassed Spasokhowski, but before he had time to be happy, he was once again facing the moment of life and death.

In comparison, Zhang Guanke ranked first in the preliminaries, and with a score of 17.54 meters in the preliminaries alone, he has already surpassed the normal level of Spasokhowski. If it is calculated according to strength, perhaps Zhang Guan only needs to try to successfully jump to surpass Spasokhowski's 16.79 meters.

"Zhang Guan is about to start his third attempt, which is the most important one, and we hope that Zhang Guan can successfully complete this attempt and make it to the top eight." The narrator's tone was extremely solemn, and the atmosphere of the scene was very depressing and dull at this moment.

On the sidelines, the likes of Evola, Eduu or Santz even hoped that Zhang Guan's attempt would make a mistake or even fail again due to a foul, so that they could reduce a strong opponent.

Zhang Guan walked up to the running area, and the TV camera gave him a big close-up of his face, but at this time, Zhang Guan seemed very calm, and he couldn't see the slightest nervousness, as if he was completely unaffected by the failure of the first two attempts.

But in his heart, Zhang Guan has been summing up his two attempts just now.

"Two fouls in a row, I didn't have much luck today. Does today's springboard have a grudge against me? Zhang Guan thought to himself, then looked at the sand pool in front of him, took a deep breath, and made a running motion.

In the next second, he transformed into a swift cheetah, thinking about rushing ahead.

Countless eyes were all focused on Zhang Guan's body, and countless people held their breath, waiting for the moment when Zhang Guan jumped. But there are also people who seem to be unable to bear this tension and excitement, close their eyes, and dare not look at the situation on the field.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Guan had already arrived at the springboard, he stepped on the springboard, and then jumped high.

"Oh!" Someone let out an exclamation, because Zhang Guan's one-legged jump distance looked good.

At this time, Zhang Guan had landed for the first time, and then began to jump.

"It's so far!" Evola, who was watching the game from the sidelines, said secretly in his heart that although Zhang Guan's jump from the start to the landing was only a short time, Evola could already clearly see that Zhang Guan's stride jump was perfect.

Zhang Guan has learned the skill of "stepping", so he is indeed stronger in stride jumping.

After landing again, Zhang Guan took off again, which was the last leap and the most important leap in the triple jump.

Zhang Guan was like a meteor, streaking through the air, his shadow shining on the flat sand pool, and the shadow was also advancing rapidly, and at the same time slowly becoming smaller.

It was Zhang Guan descending, and finally, the black shadow on the sand pool coincided with Zhang Guan's body, and he landed in the sand pool.

The sand was splashing, but it could not hide the deep imprint left by Zhang Guan's fall into the sand pool, and everyone's eyes were on the leftmost edge of the trace, and then at the distance marked by the sand pool.

To the left of the edge of the mark corresponds to a deep marker line, and the line is marked with an Arabic numeral: 18!

"18 meters! 18 meters! Oh my God! 18 meters! Zhang Guan jumped the 18-meter mark! While the commentator was speaking, the camera had already cut to the referee, who was holding a small white flag, which was telling everyone that Zhang Guan's attempt was successful.

"There was no foul, the trial jump was successful, and Zhang Guan jumped over the 18-meter mark! After the first two failed attempts, Zhang Guan made a splash and crossed 18 meters directly! Prior to this, only Great Britain's Edwards and American Harrison had crossed the 18m mark, and both of them had set world records in the triple jump. Today, at this moment, there is one more person in the world who can jump 18 meters, and he is Zhang Guan! ”

The narrator shouted loudly, but his voice could not drown the cheers of the audience, for those supporters of Zhang Guan, Zhang Guan's first two failed attempts were indeed too depressing, and now, this depression has finally found a window of catharsis, the original feelings of depression and frustration have all disappeared without a trace at this moment, replaced by a strong sense of excitement and satisfaction. It's as if the torrential torrent, which was originally blocked by the dam, suddenly found a gap and gushed out.

Amid the shouts and applause of the audience, the surveyor completed the final measurement and then reported the results to the referee for final confirmation. Immediately afterwards, Zhang Guan's test jump results appeared on the electronic monitor, and the subtitle frame was also given on the TV broadcaster.

At 18.10 meters, Zhang Guan's time in this jump was 18.10 meters, and he broke the Olympic record in the triple jump held by Harrison of the United States! That's great! Except for Zhang Guan, no one has ever jumped more than 18 meters, even the world No. 1 Evola, his best time is only 17.74 meters, and I think we can even congratulate Zhang Guan in advance for winning the men's triple jump and his sixth gold medal at this Olympics! Zhang Guan only used one test jump to win the championship, and won with one jump! What a one-shot win! ”

Since the retirement of world record holder Edwards, let alone the 18-meter mark, even 17.80 has not been conquered for several years, and the best score of the world's top triple jumpers is generally above 17.60 meters, and even more rare can exceed 17.70 meters, and the best score of the world's No. 1 player like Evola is only 17.74 meters. So a score of more than 18 meters can be said to have locked the gold medal.

What's more, Zhang Guan's score is 18.10 meters, for a score of more than 18 meters, every 0.01 meters is an insurmountable moat, from 18 meters to 18.10 meters, which is equivalent to crossing ten mountains in a row.

……

Zhang Guan looked at his 18.10-meter result and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's pretty cool to win with one jump." (To be continued.) )
