The Asian Athletics Championships were held in South Korea from August 30 to September 4.

At the last Asian Athletics Championships held in the Philippines, Zhang Guan also stepped onto the international stage for the first time in that competition, and then defeated the likes of Nobuharu Asahara, Shingo Sueji and others in succession to win the championship with a record-breaking result in Asia. The Asian Athletics Championships were held immediately after the World Athletics Championships, and considering that the competition time was too close, the domestic first-class athletes did not participate.

Half a month has passed since this year's World Athletics Championships, and the athletes of the national team have fully adjusted their state, so domestic first-class track and field athletes, including Liu Feiren, have gone to Incheon, South Korea to participate in this Asian Athletics Championships.

However, this time it was Zhang Guan's turn to not be able to participate, because the last stop of the IAAF Golden League in Berlin will be held on September 4, which happens to overlap with the Asian Athletics Championships, Zhang Guan has won five consecutive races, as long as he wins the last one, he can get the final prize of 1 million US dollars, so Zhang Guan will not give up the Golden League. At the same time, from the perspective of the national team, the final winner of the Golden League is much more important than the champion of an Asian Athletics Championships.

According to the rules of the IAAF Golden League, as long as you win five of the six races, you are eligible to share the prize money of $500,000 equally. At present, in addition to Zhang Guan, there is also the Russian long jump queen Lebedeva has also won five races, which means that she and Zhang Guan have been able to share the value of 500,000 US dollars equally, and in fact, 250,000 US dollars have been received each.

For Zhang Guan and Lebedeva, the final stop of the Golden League in Berlin will be a $500,000 match, and if both win the title, the remaining $500,000 will be divided equally. If neither of them wins the championship, then neither of them will get a share of the remaining $500,000; But if one of them wins the championship and the other doesn't. Then the winner will have the remaining $500,000 to himself.

Although the two are in different competitions, they have become rivals in the last stop of the Golden League. The media around the world also began to hype which of the two would win the final prize. Many sports media and sports commentators have also begun to analyze how the final $1 million jackpot will be distributed.

For this reason, Deutsche Welle also conducted a poll for the public, and the results of the public survey were that only 10% of the people believed that Zhang Guan and Lebedeva could not win the official title of Berlin, 13% thought that only Lebedeva won the championship, 17% thought that only Zhang Guan won the championship, 53% thought that both could win the championship, and 7% of the people did not express their position.

And the opinion from professional sports people is much more professional.

For example, German professional track and field coach Ewald expressed his opinion in the Berliner Zeitung: in the men's 100-meter sprint. Since the moment Powell withdrew from this Golden League due to injury, there is no suspense that Zhang Guan has won the sixth consecutive championship of the Golden League, and among the remaining athletes, the strength is far inferior to Zhang Guan, not to mention that they are all defeated by Zhang Guan's subordinates. Moreover, Zhang Guan rushed to Berlin a week early for adaptation training for the Golden League Berlin competition, for which he missed the IAAF Lieti Grand Prix on August 28. I think for Zhang Guan, the next thing to do is to play normally. In the women's triple jump, Lebedeva has been plagued by injuries. For this reason, he also gave up the World Athletics Championships, and in the last Golden League tournament in Brussels, Lebeddeva actually played with an injury, but for Lebedeva. The good news is that her biggest rival, world champion Smith, is also out injured.

Lebedeva has always had an ankle injury, and at the previous World Championships in Athletics, Lebedeva was also sidelined due to injury, but her injury is obviously not to the point where she will not be able to play normally. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Lebedeva is deliberately taking a truce to prepare for the Golden League. She went for the last million dollar jackpot. Compared to the final prize money of $1 million in the Golden League, the prize money for the champion of the World Athletics Championships is only 10,000 euros, and even if the world record is broken, it is only an additional 100,000 euros.

Lebedeva's main opponent in the triple jump was Jamaican Smith, who finished fourth in the women's triple jump at the Athens Olympics and competed at the World Athletics Championships in addition to the Golden League. At the World Athletics Championships, Smith won the triple jump but was injured and missed the Golden League in Zurich and Brussels.

The $1 million competition between Zhang Guan and Lebedeva is obviously the biggest attraction of the Golden League Berlin and the biggest attraction of the entire series of Golden League. Since the two belong to different events, the order of the competition becomes very important.

The one who plays the game first, if he wins, will definitely put a lot of pressure on the people who play later; And if the one who played first didn't win, the one who played later would have it easier. Therefore, the athlete who takes the lead in the competition will have a certain amount of initiative. And the nature of the triple jump competition and the 100-meter sprint is different, the 100-meter sprint can be done in two or three minutes from the preparation to the end of the competition, but the triple jump competition is for each player to jump alone, and the triple jump players in the Golden League are less than eight, so each person is allowed to jump six times, so the process of the triple jump competition is quite long compared to the 100-meter sprint.

In the end, the organizers came up with a compromise plan, with the triple jump starting first and the 100-meter dash taking place during the triple jump.

……

It's finally time for the competition. When Lebedeva appeared on the runway, the audience burst into cheers.

Lebedeva, the last of the last in the women's triple jump, waved to the crowd to quiet down before she prepared to run.

Run-ups, one-legged jumps, stride jumps, jumps, Lybedeva did it all in one go, but when she fell into the sand pool, her face was not very good-looking. Her first jump was only 13.93 meters. This is a very scummy result for an athlete of her calibre, and in the previous Golden League tournaments, Lebeddeva has only jumped under 13.93m twice, which can be said to be the third worst result of this Yellow League series.

Thankfully, her main rival, Jamaican Smith, did not do well, just over 14m, and it looks like Smith's injury is not healing. So Lebedeva hurriedly began to adjust her state and prepare for the next game.

At this time, on the runway. The eight athletes who participated in the men's 100m all stood in their positions, waiting for the referee's instructions.

"The men's 100m race is about to begin!" The sound of the DJ in the stadium caught Lebedeva's attention, and Lebeddeva saw Zhang Guan, who was warming up at the starting point, and his yellow skin stood out among the black athletes.

"Zhang Guan is also going to compete, and if he wins, I will lose $250,000. No, you have to put a little pressure on him, you must jump well in the next jump, I want to decide the winner with one jump! Lebedeva thought. While walking towards the runway.

Run-ups, one-legged jumps, stride jumps, jumps are still perfect moves, and the moment she falls into the sand, Lebeddeva smiles on her face. She knew that her jump was on the 15-metre mark, which was enough for her to win the title.

"Okay, win! Audience, cheer me on! Lebedeva was waiting for the cheers of the audience. But what awaited me was a sigh.

"What's wrong?" Lebedeva looked back sharply, only to see that the referee had raised a red flag.

Lebedeva was fouled on this jump, and the result was invalidated.

In order to be able to jump well in this jump. The jump point that Lebedeva chose just now was more extreme, so she stepped on the line and fouled when she took off. However, Lebedeva did not realize this at first, and thought that she had created a good result.

The foul on the second jump affected Lebedeva's mood to a greater or lesser extent, but as an experienced athlete, she quickly adjusted her mood and prepared for the third jump.

Not far away, the men's 100-meter race was still unstarted, and Lebedeva finally waited for her third jump.

This time, the crowd gave Lebedeva a round of applause, and she jumped 14.78 meters in her third jump, which was already the first of all the competitors.

Lebedeva began to bow around and thank her, as if she had won the championship and had the $1 million prize in her hands.

But just two minutes later, Sudanese Aldama burst onto the occasion and leaped 14.82 meters to overtake Lebedeva.

At the same time, gunshots rang out for the 100-meter dash.

……

"Zhang Guan has taken the lead!"

The camera is aimed at Zhang Guan, and along with the track next to him, he moves forward at high speed, and every movement and expression of Zhang Guan is included in the lens. As for the other athletes, although they are also working hard, they have also become the companion reading boys who accompany the prince to read at this moment, and everyone is waiting for the moment when Zhang Guan crosses the line, and no one will care about the competition for second place.

"Zhang Guan, cross the line! He won the championship! He became a million-dollar winner! Win all six battles! He is the fourth athlete to win the Million Dollar Award. The narrator continued: "Before 2003, the Golden League was a direct reward of 50 kilograms of gold, but after 2003, the Golden League was changed to a million-dollar jackpot, and before that, three athletes from Mozambique, Darlene Williams from the Bahamas, and Olsson from Sweden had won the million-dollar prize!" However, according to the rules of the competition, Lebedeva's five-game winning streak has also won $250,000 in the million-dollar jackpot. And now, whether this year's million-dollar jackpot will be divided equally between the two or by one or three will depend on Lebedeva's next performance! ”

The pressure has shifted to Lebedeva's side. (To be continued.) )
