Chapter Eighty-Eight: Challenge the Distance

At the National Track and Field Championships held on May 28, 1997, Lao Jianfeng jumped 8. The 40-meter result is not only a national record, but also breaks the Asian record in the men's long jump.

Until 2005, Saudi Arabia's Arku Walidi Mohammed finished with 8. The 44-metre mark broke the Asian record. And on July 2, 2006, a month earlier, Mohammed again won with 8. The 48-meter mark set a new Asian record he held.

But today, Zhang Guan jumped out of 8. The 49-metre mark was just enough to break the 8 held by Alku Walidi Mohammed. The Asian record of 48 meters in the long jump, he took back this Asian record and left this record in China again.

“8。 49 meters! Zhang Guan jumped out of 8. 49 meters! This is a new Asian record! Loud shouts rang out from the loudspeakers in the stadium.

Ordinary viewers don't know what the Asian record of the long jump is, everyone just knows that Zhang Guan's jump is better than the previous results, but after such publicity in the audio, the audience understands that Zhang Guan 8. The meaning behind 49 meters.

"Wow......" The audience boiled again.

The reporters waiting on the sidelines surrounded Zhang Guan again.

At the time of the jump just now, Zhang Guan broke the national record in the long jump, and was already surrounded by reporters once, and only seven or eight minutes later, the reporters rushed over again.

At this time, even a mature and steady Zhou Can couldn't help but praise: "Zhang Guan is really amazing!" Two records were broken in two jumps, one national and one Asian, which is a miracle! ”

"yes, I still think it's a little unreal." Li Run's voice paused. Then he said: "Could this be Zhang Guan's real strength? ”

"It seems that our judgment is wrong, I thought that Zhang Guan's jump of more than 8 meters was the limit, but now it seems that this idea is really ridiculous! Skipping eight meters? People didn't jump seriously at all! Zhou Can shook his head, and then said: "Obviously, Zhang Guan's long jump strength has entered the ranks of the world's top athletes. Perhaps comparable to the best people in the world. Hey......"

Zhou Can sighed after speaking, while Li Run opened his mouth and asked, "Brother Zhou, Zhang Guan broke the Asian record, this is a good thing, what are you sighing about?" ”

"No, I don't think I'm angry. It's really more popular than people. Zhou Can smiled self-deprecatingly, and then said: "Look at Zhang Guan, 100 meters, 200 meters, and 400 meters are all the top in the world, and now there is one more long jump." Let's look at our ...... again."

"Brother Zhou, didn't you tell me just now, don't compare with Zhang Guan, he is really amazing. We just have to play at the highest level. Li Run comforted.

"That's right. There's one last test jump ahead, so let's do our best! ”

……

As Zhang Guan broke the Asian record in the fifth jump, the long jump competition had to be suspended again, and it took a long time for the competition to continue. The athlete begins the final attempt jump.

Maybe it's because the interval between games is too long, and the athletes' bodies are cold. In this last attempt, several athletes did not perform at the level they should have, some fouled, some failed, and even those who succeeded failed to achieve breakthrough results.

Actually, this time. No one was paying attention to the long jump anymore, and the audience began to talk about Zhang Guan's breaking the Asian record again. The Asian record is obviously several notches higher than the national record, especially since the Asian record was taken back from a foreign competitor, which instantly rises to the level of national pride, even for those who don't know much about athletics. I can't help but join the discussion.

It wasn't until the seven competitors in front of them completed their last attempt that the audience's attention returned to the arena again, because Zhang Guan was about to appear on the stage and start his last attempt.

"I think it's almost there, you've broken the Asian record, this time you can let go of the test jump a little, a symbolic appearance is enough, the key is to protect yourself and not get hurt." Coach Zhou said to Zhang Guan with a serious face.

Before Zhang Guan jumped out of 8. At 42 meters, Coach Zhou said something similar, but he was very worried that Zhang Guan accidentally injured his body, and if a national treasure athlete like Zhang Guan was injured for a national track and field championships, Coach Zhou could not afford this responsibility.

Zhang Guan shook his head and pointed to the audience: "Coach, you listen to the voices around you......"

"Zhang Guan! Come on! Zhang Guan! Come on! Zhang Guan! Come on! ”

The cheers of tens of thousands of spectators in the audience were uniform, and everyone was looking forward to Zhang Guan's jump to bring another surprise.

"Coach, everyone is cheering me on! If I give up at this time, how can I be worthy of these audiences! And I also wanted to give it a try and challenge the distance of 8.50 meters. Zhang Guan exuded a strong sense of confidence and then stepped onto the court.

Coach Zhou sighed helplessly, although he is the head coach of the provincial track and field team, he really can't command a super big-name athlete like Zhang Guan, so he can only let it go.

……

There is a time limit for the athlete's run-up preparation, the time limit for each attempt is one minute, a timer is generally set on the head of the run-up area to remind the athlete to pay attention to the time, and the general athlete enters the run-up area is the timekeeper will press the timer, and when there is only fifteen seconds left, the timekeeper will raise the yellow flag, the time limit is zero, the yellow flag in the timekeeper's hand falls, if the athlete still does not start this attempt, the betrayal fails.

But when Zhang Guan stood on the field, the referee did not press the timer, obviously letting Zhang Guan take his time and not be in a hurry.

Zhang Guan didn't rub in, he adjusted the rhythm of his breathing slightly, and then made a starting posture for running.

The timekeeper pressed the timer until Zhang Guan was ready, and as soon as the timer began to count down, Zhang Guan immediately started running.

"At this speed, Zhang Guan is still fighting! Even if he tried his last jump, even if he had just broken the Asian record, Zhang Guan still did not give up the competition! Can he play at a better level than just now in this jump? "Director Ma, who finally calmed down. At this moment, the tension became again and again.

Zhang Guan drew a parabola again, and landed in the sand pool, countless sand particles scattered, and a trace appeared on the originally flat sand surface, and the position of the most edge of the trace had exceeded 8. 50 meters from the location.

"Zhang Guan really skipped the 8.50 meter level!" Coach Zhou couldn't help but say.

After confirmation. Zhang's final score was 8. 52 meters.

"8.52 meters! Old Yu, have you seen it, 8.52 meters! This is a world championship result! In the long jump, we finally have a world champion-level athlete! Director Ma looked very excited, and his voice trembled a little.

At this time, Director Ma was really excited, after all, he was a long jump coach, and Zhang Guan's long jump results could touch Director Ma's heart.

Yu Gui's performance is not as exaggerated as Director Ma's, and in the sprint event, Zhang Guan has brought too many miracles to Yu Gui. Director Yu has long been accustomed to this feeling, and he has already formed a concept in his subconscious that as long as there is a competition in which Zhang Guan participates, anything can happen.

Three consecutive attempts, three records were recorded, including one national record, two Asian records, and the last one exceeded 8. The 50-meter mark! This is definitely the most sensational thing in the track and field competitions held in China in recent years. Although the national record and the Asian record are not as good as those world records broken by Zhang Guan. What will surely cause quite a stir next.

However, he has not yet thought about it, and he will compete in the final of the men's 800m run in the evening.

……

Night falls. The temperature seems to have dropped a bit, but the heat of midsummer and the enthusiasm of the spectators are intertwined, making the whole stadium like a boiling kettle.

The final of the 800-meter run is about to begin, and when Zhang Guan appeared in everyone's field of vision, it instantly caused a big wave of climax in the atmosphere of the scene, and even those who were ready to line up to go to the toilet ran back. For fear of missing Zhang Guan's game.

How many people in the audience are really familiar with track and field competitions? For the audience, spending money to watch the game is nothing more than a game for a few big-name players, and now that Zhang Guan is about to appear, this game certainly cannot be missed.

Although Zhang Guan's participation in the final of the long jump a few hours ago would have consumed some physical strength. But no one will question Zhang Guan's physical reserves, and Zhang Guan's final sprint speed in the 800m and 1500m preliminary races has already told everyone that his physical reserves can be described as "perverted".

There is no very strong opponent in the 800-meter final, and among the seven opponents, Li Xiangyu, the champion of the 10th National Games, has an absolute strength advantage, and the other players are not strong.

The domestic 800-meter run is relatively weak, and there was originally a 9th Games champion Li Huiquan, who had beaten the Japanese athletes, but he was banned for illegal drugs, and the ban will not end until two months later.

The eight finalists stood in their respective starting tracks, and Zhang Guan was in the fourth lane this time, and everyone quickly got ready, and with an order, they started to start.

With the experience of the preliminary race, Zhang Guan did not sprint in the initial lane split, but chose to run forward at a normal speed, which made Zhang Guan not gain an advantage before the lane grabbing line, and when he crossed the lane grabbing line, Zhang Guan began to merge. Although the position of the fourth lane is not the easiest, it is not very difficult, although Zhang Guan does not have too good merge technology, but it is also considered to be completed smoothly, and when the straight runway ends, everyone enters the innermost runway, Zhang Guan is in the fifth position.

Zhang Guan is very happy with this result, he has already used the skill of following the run, and then he only needs to honestly follow behind others, run more than a lap, and then get out of the inner lane and sprint.

According to this rhythm, this 800-meter championship will belong to Zhang Guan again.

But at this moment, the situation on the track changed dramatically! (To be continued.) )
