Chapter 156 The King of Track and Field - Long Jump Test

During the vacating process of the long jump, the center of gravity of the athlete's body moves according to the parabolic trajectory. The main purpose of the movement during the vacating process is to maintain the balance of the body and complete an effective landing, so as to make better use of the parabolic trajectory and strive to achieve better results. grades.

All movements after vacating must be carried out after the "flying step". However, long jump beginners simply don't remember to do the movement when the body is vacating. Maybe the body's reaction can't keep up. It's already landed.

The aerial movement Zhang Guan uses is the simplest "squat style", but when he first practiced, he was not used to doing movements in the air. Zhang Guan felt that the most troublesome thing was not that the legs could not keep up, but the legs The coordination of movement and waist and abdomen strength is difficult to master.

The high-altitude action in long jump sports still puts a great test on the strength of the waist and abdomen. The most likely place for long jump athletes to be injured is not the legs, but the waist. However, after all, Zhang Guan has the skill enhancement of "body coordination". After a long period of practice, Zhang Guan finally mastered the squatting technique. However, it is only mastery, and there is still a huge distance from perfect technical movements.

In the next landing training, the first thing to overcome is the psychological factor. For those who do not know the long jump technique, the most worrying thing about landing is falling. This is a natural fear of losing balance. Therefore, people who perform long jump for the first time often have their feet directly nailed to the sand when they land. In the pool, or take a few steps forward suddenly to maintain the balance of the body. Professional athletes, on the other hand, use momentum to stand up from the sand pool.

Whether they are high jumpers or long jumpers, they are not afraid of falling. They have overcome the fear of falling through long-term practice. For ordinary people, even if they keep telling themselves in their hearts, they will not get hurt if they fall into the sand pool Yes, but when you really want to fall, your body will involuntarily make extra movements to protect itself.

Although Zhang Guan has a powerful system, the system can't help him overcome psychological factors. He can only get up when he falls again and again, and adapt to the feeling of falling in the sand again and again. , until he is no longer afraid of falling.

On March 25, the awarding ceremony for the man of the sports world was held in Beijing.

The selection of this year's man of the hour kicked off at the end of last year. At the beginning, there were hundreds of candidates, including not only athletes, but also coaches, sports teams, sports commentators, owners of sports sponsorship brands, and club leaders. Boss wait. As for the athletes on the candidate list, in addition to Chinese athletes, there are also some foreign athletes, such as Beckham, Tiger Woods, Federer, Alonso, Isinbayeva, and even Sharapova was among the initial candidates. list.

Of course, it is impossible for the above-mentioned foreign big-name athletes to attend this awards ceremony, and they are naturally not among the final winners. In fact, in the selection of this year's sports event, the winners have basically been determined internally, and Zhang Guan and Liu Feiren will definitely occupy a place each.

It is worth mentioning that the organizer invited Juan Antonio Samaranch, the former president of the International Olympic Committee, to present the awards. In addition, there were many domestic entertainment stars present, which was considered a highlight of the awards ceremony.

Under the stage, Zhang Guan and Liu Feiren sat together, each holding a small gold-shaped trophy in their hands.

"Why haven't you returned to the Xinzhuang base for the past few days? I haven't seen you in the base yet. What are you up to? Are you doing business again?" Liu Feiren asked.

Zhang Guan shook his head and said in a low voice, "I'm in the training center of National Sports, secretly practicing long jump."

"Long jump!" Liu Feiren was taken aback: "When you came back from Moscow a few days ago, you told me about the long jump on the plane. I thought you were joking, but I didn't expect you to take it seriously. Didn't stop you? Director Ma agreed?"

"No. Director Ma asked me to practice first." Zhang Guan told Liu Feiren about jumping to 7.8 meters in ten days.

"Jumped to 7.8 meters in ten days? How could this be possible! You are crazy! I think you are being sold and you are still counting the money!" Liu Fei couldn't help shaking his head.

"You have to try it anyway! Besides, don't I often create miracles." Zhang Guan looked very confident.

"It's different. It used to be sprinting. Running, especially the 100-meter sprint, mainly depends on talent. Compared with other track and field events, the technical requirements are much lower. People are born with the ability to run, but the long jump is For those who need skills, without three to five months of hard work, it is difficult to master even the most basic skills." Liu Feiren said.

"Well, I have only just learned how to fly and land." Zhang Guan continued: "But I will have a test tomorrow. I have worked hard for ten days, and I will see that I am shivering tomorrow. I have to try it! By the way, Are you going back tomorrow? If you don't come back, come and see how I jump 7.8 meters!"

"I don't have time to go crazy with you. I have to go back tomorrow morning. My foot injury is just right. I have to recover as soon as possible. Time is running out. It is the end of March now, and there is still more than a month. There will be a game in early May. .” Liu Feiren said.

Zhang Guan thought for a while and asked, "Is it the Japanese Grand Prix of the Athletics Federation? The one in Osaka?"

"Yes, we all participated last year, and you even had a match with Gatlin." Liu Feiren continued: "In addition, I plan to go to Europe in July to participate in the Golden League Paris station and the Super Grand Prix Lausanne station."

Zhang Guan was slightly taken aback: "There is no 110-meter hurdles event in this year's Golden League, right?"

"Don't forget that the host city can temporarily add events. This year's Golden League Paris station will add a 110-meter hurdle event. For France's Ducoure, this 110-meter hurdle is specially designed for him! I am also lucky Go earn some IAAF points." Liu Feiren said with a smile.

...

On the second day after the People of the Sports Award Ceremony, Zhang Guan ushered in his first long jump test.

"In ten days, jumping from nothing to 7 meters 8, how is this possible! Zhang Guan is a real kid, and he actually agreed to you. I think you are deliberately fooling the fool!" Director Yu said .

Director Ma smiled: "Thinking about it now, I seem to be a little too cruel. I should have set him a little lower at the beginning, such as the 7.3 meters of a first-level athlete, which also gave him hope. But then again, not cruel No way, Zhang Guan is still young and has a long way to go. It’s fine for him to be young and ignorant. We can’t mess around with him. Let him practice sprint well first. As for long jump, if he really With this talent, when his sprinting skills stabilize, maybe let him try."

"Hmph... I don't think you can talk too much." Director Yu continued: "Look at Zhang Guan, he looks full of confidence, maybe he can really jump 7 meters 8 Don’t forget that there are six chances, and you will be dumbfounded when the time comes.”

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Director Ma shook his head violently: "7 meters 8! Let alone give him six chances, even if you give him sixty chances, he won't be able to jump."

As soon as Director Ma finished speaking, Zhang Guan had already started his first run-up.

"The run-up rhythm is very good, the speed is so fast." Director Yu commented.

Director Ma nodded in agreement. Zhang Guan performed well during the run-up process, which was within the owner's expectations. After all, Zhang Guan is the world record holder in the men's 100 meters, so in terms of run-up speed alone, the world It is impossible for anyone to be faster than Zhang Guan.

But the long jump is not a sprint, no matter how fast the run-up is, you need to turn the speed of the run-up into the power of jumping.

Zhang Guan's speed has been increased to the extreme, and then he stepped on the pedal and jumped forward violently.

"The height in the air is great!" Director Ma gasped. Under normal circumstances, the higher the altitude in the air, the farther the jump. Zhang Guan's air height in this jump has already surpassed that of the national team's long jump players. average level.

Zhang Guan was using a crouching vacant position. Zhang Guan in the air tried his best to maintain the take-off position, and then stretched his take-off legs forward happily. He lifted his legs straight in front of his body, and was ready to land.

"This action is not good. I didn't grasp the timing well. I did it too early. It will definitely affect the balance of landing." Director Ma gave an instant evaluation in his heart.

"It landed." Zhang Guan fell into the sand pool, and his feet drew traces of different colors in the sand pool.

"It seems to be over!" Director Yu said suddenly, from his point of view, the place where Zhang Guan finally landed should be 7.8 meters away.

Director Ma's heart suddenly stopped, and then, he saw that the referee at the springboard had already raised the red flag.

"Foul by stepping on the line, failure!" said the coach in charge of the referee.

Director Ma let out a sigh of relief. Zhang Guan should have stepped on the 7.8-meter line just now, but fortunately, he failed to step on the line.

"It's so hanging! It's almost over." Director Ma said.

"It's a pity! It almost passed!" Director Yu said at the same time.

Director Ma glared at Guidance Yu: "Old Yu, what do you mean? You still hope that he can jump 7.8 meters! Don't forget that you are the coach in charge of sprinting. Is it possible that you are really willing to give Zhang Guan a point?" Go out to practice long jump?"

Director Yu smiled awkwardly. At this time, he was really conflicted in his heart. As the coach in charge of sprinting, he certainly didn't want Zhang Guan to practice long jump, but he also hoped that his disciples could achieve good results, even in the In other track and field events.

After a minute's rest, Zhang Guan started his second trial jump.

Run-up, take-off, flight, and landing, Zhang Guan's movements were still not perfect, but at any rate it was successful this time, and the referee raised the white flag of successful jumping.

"7 meters 32!" The surveyor called out Zhang Guan's result.

"We have passed the 7.3-meter national first-level athlete line." Director Ma's face was cloudy, and he murmured to the guide: "It's a good thing I didn't agree with him at the time to reach 7.3 meters, otherwise he really It's over."

"Don't worry, there are still four jumps!" Director Yu turned his head and said.

Director Ma took a deep breath: "Old Yu, what kind of monster do you think Zhang Guan is? He has only practiced for ten days! He jumped 7.3 meters in just ten days!"
