Chapter 262: The Triple Jump Final Begins
On the day when Zhu Tianyun was free, Huaxia was still at the top of the list, but the United States was not slow to catch up. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 INFO China won only 2 gold medals today, while the United States won 4 gold medals.
In the final of the table tennis men's team at the London Olympics, the national table tennis men's team defeated South Korea 3-0 and successfully defended its title; In the women's -49kg taekwondo competition, Wu Jingyu won, which is the first gold medal of the Chinese taekwondo team in the small class.
In the men's 110m hurdles final, American Maitrie won the championship, while Robles, like Liu Xiang, retired due to injury. The U.S. won the light women's long jump, Felix in the women's 200m and Walsh and Misty May in women's beach volleyball.
The final of the men's 110-meter hurdles may be the final that China is most reluctant to see, and the Chinese people who were full of confidence in this game are of course the most resentful, and the Chinese people are only willing to face victory and unwilling to face defeat.
At the end of the day's competition, Huaxia still ranked first with 39 golds, followed by the United States with 34 golds. Russia even predicted that China's lead would be maintained until the end, and most of the countrymen would like to see China win the first Olympic gold medal table on the road for the first time.
The next day, Zhu Tianyun had an important competition to participate in, that is, the 200-meter final, Zhu Tianyun looked at this game very much, not only because he invested heavily in it, but also because he wanted to get a gold medal back for Coach He, and Zhu Tianyun wanted to beat Lightning Bolt once. But before that, Zhu Tianyun had to complete the final of the triple jump.
The final of the triple jump is a game that the Chinese audience is very concerned about, because this is the most likely to win the gold medal in addition to the women's 10-meter platform today.
"Brother Dong, I see you're very excited." Zhu Tianyun walked into the locker room and saw that Dong Bin had arrived early and was moving.
"Can you not be excited? Competing in the final of the Olympics for the first time in so many years, do you think everyone is like you? Dong Bin said with a wry smile.
"Brother Dong, it's not good for you to excite your muscles too early." Zhu Tianyun said speechlessly, he didn't believe that Dong Bin didn't know.
"yes, you're right, I'll rest first." Dong Bin sat on the stool, but he was obviously a little restless, and Zhu Tianyun couldn't help.
"Zhu, my friend." As soon as American player Taylor came in, he hugged Zhu Tianyun.
"Haha, Taylor, I haven't seen you in days, and you're still so dark." Strictly speaking, Zhu Tianyun's words are very bad, you must know that talking about skin color to black people is discrimination, but Taylor knows that Zhu Tianyun doesn't mean this, so Taylor doesn't care but someone does.
"Can I think you're discriminating against us blacks?" A person walked out behind Taylor, also black, Zhu Tianyun knew the American player Clay, and he was looking at Zhu Tianyun with an unfriendly face.
"Clay, Zhu didn't mean that, you have too much heart." Zhu Tianyun hasn't spoken yet, and Taylor has already explained for Zhu Tianyun.
"Mr. Clay, I'm friends with Taylor, we're talking together, isn't it polite for you to interject casually?" Zhu Tianyun was a little angry, he didn't mean to discriminate against black people, and he was talking to Taylor, what did this Clay interject?
"Hmph." Clay stopped talking.
"Taylor, your compatriot's self-esteem is too strong, right, I can be called discrimination if I joke with you?" Zhu Tianyun looked at Taylor speechlessly.
"Zhu, you probably rarely go to the United States, white Americans are very unfriendly to us people of color, and Clay is just too sensitive." After Taylor finished speaking, Zhu Tianyun didn't want to pursue it, although he hadn't been there much, he had heard about it.
When the time came, Zhu Tianyun walked out, Zhu Tianyun's appeal in this Olympic Games was vividly reflected, due to Zhu Tianyun's exaggerated performance, many stars came to cheer, and many film and television stars such as Xiaobei and Victoria in the United Kingdom came to see Zhu Tianyun's game.
Zhu Tianyun began to warm up, to be honest, he is very confident in the triple jump, the triple jump is the same as the long jump, both require excellent jumping power, explosive power Zhu Tianyun has, and even he has an amazing ability to stay in the air, that is to say, every step he takes is a big step ahead of others, and the combined advantage is even stronger than the long jump.
The Olympic record is 18.09 meters set by American Croatian athlete Harrison on July 27, 1996 in Atlanta, USA. The world record is 18.29 meters set by British athlete Edwards in Sweden on August 7, 1995.
Olympic record aside, the world record-setting Edwards is a superstar in the triple jump and is known as the "flying bird of the century".
Encouraged by his athletic father, Edwards pursued a career in sports while still in school. In 1995, a fabulous world record was set: in Spain, he broke the 10-year-old world record of 17.97 meters held by American Banksy with a score of 17.98 meters. In the same year, he broke the men's triple jump world record twice at the 5th World Athletics Championships with an astonishing time of 18.16 and 18.29 meters, becoming the first athlete ever to break the 18-meter barrier. In 1996, Edwards made his Olympic debut, winning silver in the men's triple jump with 17.88m. At the 2000 Sydney Olympics, he finally won the gold medal in this event.
Edwards' greatest contribution was to bring this unattended project to the world's attention. This time Edwards was in the London Bowl.
Edwards' appearance is hardly associated with a track and field superstar, with a thin body and gray hair, he looks like a little old man. BBC Gold Medalist George joins him to explain today's game.
"Jon, it's a pleasure to have you here to explain today's triple jump final." George looked at the thin Edwards, he knew the past glory of this unremarkable old man.
"George, I'm glad to talk to you too." Edwards didn't say much.
"Do you know all the Jon finalists? Which one do you think has the better chance of winning? George asked.
"I think the favourites in the men's triple jump are the two American athletes, Tyler and Clay, who won and finished third at last year's World Championships. Taylor jumped 17.63m and 17.62m respectively this year, Clay jumped 17.55m, and Russia's Adams, Italy's Donato and Kyoto's Olympic bronze medallist Sans of the Bahamas are also very strong. George was surprised when he heard Edwards say that he didn't have Zhu Tianyun.
"Jon, do you think Huaxia player Zhu Tianyun is not in the championship ranks?" George asked, looking at Edwards.
"To be honest, I really don't know much about this player, I've never seen him compete in the triple jump, but I've heard that he is a gold medalist in three events, and since he can break the record in the long jump, then his bounce must be very good, and that's why I want to see how good he is." Edwards said.
"Then we'll see." George nodded.
Before coming, Zhu Tianyun discussed with Han Li and the others, originally Zhu Tianyun wanted to break the world record again, but Song was shocked to say that Zhu Tianyun took out all the inventory together and it was not good for his development, you must know why Bolt is so concerned, on the one hand, because he is really fast, and on the other hand, it has a lot to do with his continuous refreshed results. So Song was shocked to think that Zhu Tianyun was completely famous in the world, so it was better to keep a little hole card, and it would be more effective than now when he encountered something, and Zhu Tianyun was finally convinced.
But if you don't use such a good opportunity, it also makes Zhu Tianyun very unhappy, Zhu Tianyun is a person who loves to show off, Song was shocked to think about it, and told Zhu Tianyun a way to show off, that is, one jump to determine the situation, contrary to the high jump final, then it will definitely become a big news, but how much to jump is appropriate depends on Zhu Tianyun's own determination, after all, Song shocked and didn't know what level Zhu Tianyun was at in the triple jump? What athlete can say that he will win the championship in one jump? In Han Li's opinion, Song was shocked to hear that he was just trying to curry favor with Zhu Tianyun, the boss, but Zhu Tianyun took it seriously.
Taylor is a fierce rival, and this guy hasn't jumped 18 meters since his debut. And Clay is only 17 to 18 meters at the level. The Kyoto Olympics champion was 17.67m, and the Daegu World Championships champion was Taylor's 17.96m. Zhu Tianyun thought about it, and he felt that in order to break the Olympic record, he would put the world record aside first.
Zhu Tianyun was the second to try jumping, and he walked to the sidelines early to wait.
"Hello everyone, this is the final of the triple jump at the London Olympics." With the voices of commentators from various countries, the eyes of the whole world are focused on the triple jump competition.
The first to take the field was a black runner who only jumped 16.36m, and it looked like he was under so much pressure that he didn't get up at all when he ran.
Zhu Tianyun walked to the starting point, shook his head and twisted his waist, looking relaxed.
"Huaxia's player Zhu Tianyun is on the field, I don't know what kind of surprise he will bring us?" George glanced at Edwards, who was looking at Zhu Tianyun intently, and explained.
Zhu Tianyun began to start, his speed was very fast, when he reached the pedal, under the command of the elf, Zhu Tianyun jumped at 1 cm of the pedal, very accurate.
"Isn't he, he's really a high jump? His first jump was so high? Edwards stood up the moment he saw Zhu Tianyun vacating the air.
As soon as the connoisseur made a move, Zhu Tianyun's first jump had a large vertical velocity and a high center of gravity parabola. Edwards could see Zhu Tianyun's jumping method at a glance.
"Impossible, how can it be so far even if it's the first jump of a high jump?" Zhu Tianyun can use the ability to stay in the air in the air, and the first step of the average triple jumper is absolutely impossible to exceed 6 meters, but Zhu Tianyun broke this rule, Zhu Tianyun opened his hands to maintain balance, and there was a distance like he was floating in the air, which was very beautiful.
"Oh my God, his second step, it's so high? What a strong jumping ability. Edwards didn't sit down at all after standing up, and kept staring at Zhu Tianyun on the field.
"Jon, why are you so surprised?" George asked.
"From the principle of motion biomechanics, the distance of the object of oblique throwing only depends on the initial velocity and the angle of ejection, as the triple jump, as far as its trajectory is concerned, it is composed of three consecutive oblique throwing motions, and the displacement of each jump depends on the initial velocity and the starting angle of each jump, if only the distance of the first jump is concerned, it is bound to cause a large loss of horizontal velocity, so that the second jump, especially the third jump is relatively poor. At the same time, due to the high take-off of the first jump, the buffer time of the take-off leg when landing is longer, which also affects the take-off speed of the second jump, which is the deficiency of the high jump, but I didn't expect Zhu Tianyun to overcome it, his body is too strong. ”
As soon as Edwards's words fell, the audience burst into cheers.
