Chapter 129: 8.7 Meter Mark! (3rd Watch)
"Oh my God, Ben Mazouk jumped 8.42 meters! In this way, Ben Mazouk became the fourth Asian athlete to jump 8.4 meters, and if you look at the personal best, Ben Mazouk is only ranked behind Zhang Guan and Walidi, so it can be said that he has become the third Asian athlete in the long jump! ”
Ben Marzuk stepped off the field with an excited face, and Coach Mayer Powell in the distance immediately shouted at Mazouk: "Ben! Attaboy! I knew you could do it! ”
The 8.42m score is a top result for an Asian athlete, and based on the usual experience, this result is enough to win the Asian Games.
Zhang Guan looked at the score of 8.42 meters, and suddenly realized that he was going to be the penultimate in the next three jumps.
"It doesn't matter in the order of play, it's still early for my next game, so there won't be any clashes. It's just that this Mazuk actually jumped 8.42 meters, I really didn't expect that there were people in Asia who could jump the 8.4-meter mark in addition to Walid. Ben Mazouk is also a naturalized player in Africa, and in recent years, Middle Eastern countries have made a lot of money to win gold medals, especially Saudi Arabia, sprinting, long jump, high jump, middle and long distance running, almost all of the African planning corps, this atmosphere is not good. ”
If you only go to naturalize athletes from other countries and do not develop your own sports, although the naturalized athletes will win gold medals, what is the difference between this and spending money to buy gold medals? But since I'm here, even if you local tyrant countries spend money to buy Saladino and Phillips, you won't be able to win the long jump gold medal in this Asian Games! ”
The eight competitors were re-ordered, and then the next three jumps were made according to the new order. However, as things stand, perhaps only three skaters who have jumped over the eight-meter mark will have a chance to compete for the gold medal.
Several of the remaining skaters have jumped the eight-metre mark in the past, and even if they have no hope of winning gold, they still want to make a bid for a medal. Therefore, in the fourth jump, the players invariably chose a more extreme jump, which greatly increased the probability of fouling.
Of the top five competitors, three failed their attempts due to fouls, and only two successfully completed their fourth attempts. Although both of them did well, neither of them reached eight meters.
The sixth was Saudi Arabia's Al Shaba, who had already surpassed the eight-metre mark in his second attempt, but with Al Shaba's strength, he only needed to play a little better to go further.
Al Shaba adjusted his form. The start of the run-up jump, perhaps influenced by Ben Mazuk's jump of 8.4 meters, Al Shaba's jump also chose the extreme jump, his toes almost stepped on the marking, but in the end his jump was successful, and his 8.18m score was close to Zhang Guan's 8.20m.
Al Shaba shook his head slightly disappointed, as if he was dissatisfied with the result. In fact, this result is already very good for Alasaba. Al Shaba's personal best is 8.35m, and being able to jump close to 8.20m in the race shows that he played very well. After all, Ben Mazouk's ability to jump to a personal best in a race is hard to come by.
The next player to be ranked seventh is Zhang Guan.
"Finally, it's time for Zhang Guan to appear again. I don't think Zhang Guan will give up the jump again this time. Saudi Arabia's Ben Mazouk has just jumped 8.42m, a feat that Zhang Guan will have to challenge if he wants to win the gold medal! ”
The television broadcast was also duly aimed at Ben Mazouk. At this time, Mazuk looked a little nervous, obviously worried about Zhang Guan's better results.
I saw Zhang Guan start to run. Then, with the crisp sound of pedals, Zhang Guan had already taken off into the air.
"This vacant height is much better than his previous jump!" Ben-Mazuk suddenly felt a void in his heart.
However, Zhang Guan, who was in the air, realized that he had stepped on the line with the jump just now!
"Oops, I was in too much of a hurry just now. The rhythm is a little messy, forget it, let's talk about it next time! ”
I saw Zhang Guan in the air and retracted his strength. Then he landed with a protective move, and at this time, the referee raised the red flag.
In the long jump, the two phases of jumping and landing are relatively easy to get injured, and many athletes will choose some protective follow-up actions to avoid injury when they find themselves foul or mistaken, which is also very common in events such as gymnastics and diving.
Due to the protective landing action, Zhang Guan's jump was just over six meters, but since he was judged to have committed a foul, the result was useless.
"Zhang Guan has committed a foul! That's great! Ben Mazuk suddenly became excited, the height of Zhang Guan's air just now gave Mazouk a hunch that it would be a very good result, maybe even more than 8.4 meters, and now Zhang Guan's foul made Mazouk feel like he was in the aftermath of the disaster.
"I'm still in first place, and I'm going to jump another better result." Mazouk thought as he stepped up to the run-up zone.
Ben Marzouk was the last to make his fourth attempt, and the referee didn't rush him until Mazouk was almost done adjusting before starting the one-minute timer.
Run-up, take-off, take-off, landing, Mazouk's jump is perfect in action, but the result is not as good as the third jump just now.
"8.33 meters? That's fine! It has surpassed Zhang Guan's 8.20 meters, so even if Zhang Guan can jump to 8.42 meters next time, although the best result is the same as mine, the second best result is lower than mine, and the championship is still mine! Thinking of this, Mazouk was overjoyed, and he surpassed Zhang Guan in two consecutive results, which is definitely a very big advantage.
For example, in a long jump project, the mental state is very important, and the psychological state can be said to have a geometric impact on the physical state. Especially when the two athletes compete for the final championship, a little psychological advantage can get a better performance, and the so-called more than the last appearance, the more advantage, mainly refers to the psychological aspect.
Then came the fifth round of the jump.
The players who came out in front of him still didn't bring any surprises, and Al Shaba, who came out in sixth, still didn't jump out of the game.
Then it will be Zhang Guan's turn, and he will make his fifth attempt, and this time, he will be able to fly over 8.42 meters. Since Ben Mazouk's second-best time was 8.33m, which also surpassed Zhang's 8.20m, Zhang Guan would have to jump at least 8.43m to win the gold medal. The commentator of CCTV said this, turned his head and asked the guest next to him, Director Sun: "Director Sun, do you think it is very likely that Zhang Guan's jump will reach 8.43 meters or achieve better results?" ”
"I think it's very likely. Although Zhang Guan's attempt to jump failed last time, we can see that Zhang Guan also used a more aggressive jump. I think if this jump is not fouled, it is very possible to exceed 8.4 meters. ”
As soon as Director Sun's voice fell, Zhang Guan had already started to run.
"Zhang Guan started running! Not bad! Jump! Perfect! No fouls! Director Sun raised his voice one degree with each word, but as soon as his last sentence "no foul" came out, Zhang Guan had already fallen into the sand pool.
However, the next moment, Director Sun suddenly screamed, "Win!" We won! This one is sure to win! ”
……
Zhang Guan flew through the air, while Coach Mike Powell, who was watching from afar, seemed to see himself as a young man.
"Awesome!" Coach Powell muttered to himself, even if he is an opponent, even if this game is related to his job, Coach Powell still can't help but praise Zhang Guan.
But in Mazuk's eyes, time seemed to slow down, and he saw Zhang Guan soar into the air, gliding in the air, and then getting closer and closer to the 8.4-meter marking.
"Zhang Guan's body is starting to fall!" Marzuk clenched his fists tightly, and he was expecting Zhang's body to hit the ground as soon as possible, preferably before 8.4 meters.
However, Zhang Guan's body was still in the air, but it had clearly crossed the 8.4-meter place.
"Zhang Guan has surpassed me! But I'm sure I'll be able to surpass the past again! Mazouk thought to himself that he was ready to challenge for the 8.5-metre distance in his next attempt.
But then, Zhang's body crossed the 8.5-meter marking, but his feet still did not touch the ground.
"Over 8.5 meters!" Mazouk chuckled in his heart, he had realized that he might have lost, and that 8.5m was a result he had not achieved in training. But at this time, Mazuk still has a little luck in his heart, maybe he can play at a super level in the game, jump more than 8.5 meters, and finally surpass Zhang Guan.
But in the next 0.1 seconds, Zhang Guan's body seemed to have crossed the 8.6-meter marking, and although his feet were already close to the ground, they still did not touch the ground.
"Over 8.6 meters!" The little fluke in Mazuk's heart was also completely shattered at this moment.
……
Zhang Guan fell to the ground, and the position of the trace seemed to be pressed against the 8.7-meter marking.
"8.7 meters, has it reached 8.7 meters!"
In the long jump event, it is extremely difficult to improve every centimeter at the highest level in the world, but people still generally regard 10 centimeters as a level, as a high wall that is difficult to leap over, such as 8.4 meters, 8.5 meters, 8.6 meters......
The surveyor immediately took the measurements, and immediately announced the result of Zhang's jump.
"8.70 meters!" (To be continued.) )
