Chapter 102: The Third Jump (Three Watches)

The camera was timely focused on Saladino, who is clearly the most likely person to surpass that result in the field at the moment.

Saladino's expression was calm, and he didn't seem to be very flustered, but there was a solemnity in his eyes.

"8.62 meters, I really didn't expect Zhang Guan to jump such a good result, this result is only 0.08 meters away from Zhang Guan's personal best of 8.70 meters. I think Saradino must be feeling the pressure now! There are still four attempts to jump, and I don't know if Saladino will be able to jump a better result. However, we all know that it is difficult to exceed 8.62 meters, perhaps Zhang Guan will win his first Olympic long jump championship with this jump, which should also be the first Olympic long jump champion of Chinese! An ESPN commentator spoke.

As a foreign commentator, and there are no American players participating in this game, his position is still relatively neutral, and it is difficult for Saladino to surpass Zhang Guan, which is indeed a more pertinent neutral position.

In the cheers of the audience, the last contestant from Senegal Kababadi took the stage, but this cheer was not for Kabaddi, but the cheers of the audience after Zhang Guan's jump.

The audience was cheering, but the cheers were not for themselves, which made Kabaddi a little depressed, perhaps due to the influence of this, Kabaddi failed his second attempt.

At this point, all the competitors have completed the second attempt, and the third round of the trial has begun.

Greece's Tesa Tomas took to the stage for the third time, and the athlete, who was hailed as a quality winner, failed his first two attempts, and if he can't get a good result on this attempt, he will say goodbye to the Games.

Compared with other players, Tesa Thomas's strength is still superior, as long as he chooses to play steadily and steadily, first get a score into the top eight, it may be a good choice, but Tesa Thomas obviously did not do this, Tesa Thomas is just playing the limit, even if the first two attempts failed, Tesa Thomas still stubbornly chose a very extreme jump, and the red flag raised by the referee directly allowed him not to worry about the next three attempts.

"Tesa Thomas failed his third attempt! Three failed attempts, Tesa Thomas had no results, he was eliminated! The narrator said with pity.

Before the start of the Olympics, Tesa Tomas was hailed as the man who could compete with Saladino for the title, but what he didn't expect was that he failed in his first three jumps and was eliminated from the competition early, which is indeed regrettable.

The third attempt of Saudi Arabia's Al Shaba also failed because he stepped on the line, and Al Shaba's final time was 7.80m, which is also a result in the knockout zone.

Two competitors have just completed their third-round attempts, but three are already certain to be eliminated, including Botswana's Galenamose, Greece's Tesa Tomas and Saudi Arabia's Al Shaba, who have already retired injured. There is only one place left for elimination, which makes the pressure on the other players a lot less in an instant.

Now it's Salardino's turn, and he'll challenge Zhang Guan's 8.62m.

Saladino stepped up to the run-up zone, and instead of starting it, he closed his eyes and began to recall the moment he jumped 8.73 meters two months ago in the Netherlands.

That moment kept repeating itself in Saladino's mind, and gradually, he felt his blood boiling, and he felt as if he had gone back to two months ago, to the moment when he had jumped out of his best results.

"yes, that's the feeling, I've finally found it! That's what I want. Saladino's eyes snapped open, and he began to run.

He jumped, he soared, he landed, and he didn't even look back at his results before he raised his arms and began to cheer. Because Saladino was convinced that he had achieved an unprecedented result.

"Oh my God, what do I see? More than 8.70 meters! Saladino's attempt jump exceeded 8.70 meters! White flag, no fouls, this time the results worked! Oh, and it's 8.75m, and Saladino has set a new personal best and also a new best long jump of the year! How did he do it! I thought that there was no suspense in this race, Zhang Guan's 8.62 meters had won the championship, but now it seems that there is really no suspense, but the championship has changed hands, from Zhang Guan to Saladino, I think the Chinese are happy too early, they must be disappointed now! ESPN's commentator spoke.

Another commentator immediately said: "That's right, Zhang Guan's personal best is 8.70 meters, there is still a big gap from Saradino's 8.75 meters, although it is only 0.05 meters, it seems very short, but when it comes to this level of competition, the difference of 0.05 meters is completely irreversible, and this is still more than Zhang Guan's best level, I think Zhang Guan has unfortunately chosen to give up the competition, and it is in vain to compare." ”

In comparison, the domestic commentary is a bit bitter.

"Saladino jumped 8.75 meters and we congratulate him, he is currently in first place. However, this is only the third time to try the jump, and Zhang Guan still has four chances to try the jump, maybe there is still a possibility to overtake. ”

The narrator said that, but deep down he also felt that Zhang Guan's hope of surpassing was very slim.

The audience fell silent again, and some even began to sigh, as if they felt that Zhang Guan had lost the game.

Saladino jumped 8.75 meters, while Zhang Guan also scored 8.62 meters, and the competition has become a battle between the two of them, because it is completely impossible for his competitor to jump better than them, to say the gold and silver medals have been decided, and the rest can only compete for the bronze medal.

Subsequently, Cuban player Martinez, off-duty player Meriz, South African player Mokoena, Cuban draft Kameyo, and Zimbabwean player Marcusa appeared one after another, but no one on the scene paid attention to these foil players, everyone was waiting for Zhang Guan to play again, they expected Zhang Guan to surpass Saradino again, and at the same time, he also surpassed himself again.

Under the expectation of everyone, Zhang Guan appeared in the running area.

He didn't recall the run-up area like Saladino, but just took a step, used all his strength, and ran forward.

"Why did you start so quickly, anyway, there is still a lot of time, it should be adjusted a little!" Some viewers suddenly became anxious, and in their opinion, Zhang Guan's way of starting as soon as he appeared on the stage gave people a sense of haste of insufficient preparation.

"As soon as he started on the field, he didn't even make any preparations, Zhang Guan knew that he couldn't jump farther, so he had to end the race as soon as possible? But then again, if it were me, maybe I would have chosen this way, how embarrassing and helpless it would be to continue to stay on the field in the face of a result that I can never achieve! A smile appeared on Saladino's face.

But only Zhang Guan himself knows that this time he is really serious and focused, and he wants to play his strongest self.

"Zhang Guan, jump! Wow! Oh, my God! The narrator suddenly screamed, and at this time Zhang Guan had already landed, and the traces he left in the sand pit were clearly in front of everyone.

In the next second, the narrator roared in the voice of a beast: "It's over! Zhang Guan exceeded! That's 8.8 meters, that's over 8.8 meters! Zhang Guan jumped 8.8 meters! No fouls! The results are valid! Zhang Guan is overtaking! He overtook Saladino! He's number one! (To be continued.) )
