All-round Athlete

Chapter 220 The 8.7-meter mark! (three more)

"Oh my God, Ben Mazuk jumped 8.42 meters in this jump! In this way, Ben Mazuk became the fourth athlete in Asia to jump 8.4 meters. If you look at the personal best result, Ben Mazuk is only ranked behind Zhang Guan and Walidi, so it can be said that he has become the third person in Asia in the long jump event!"

Ben Mazuk exited the arena excitedly, and coach Meyer Powell in the distance immediately shouted at Mazuk: "Ben! Well done! I knew you could do it!"

The result of 8.42 meters is considered a top result for Asian players. According to usual experience, this result is enough to win the Asian Games championship.

Looking at the score of 8.42 meters, Zhang Guan suddenly realized that he would be the second to last in the next three jumps.

"The order of appearance doesn't matter. Anyway, it's still very early in my next game, and there will be no conflicts. It's just that this Mazuk jumped 8.42 meters. I didn't expect that other than Walidi, there would be more players in Asia. Some people can jump over the 8.4-meter mark. Ben Mazuk is also a naturalized athlete in Africa. In recent years, Middle Eastern countries have spent a lot of money to win gold medals, especially Saudi Arabia, sprint, long jump, high jump, and middle-distance running. The atmosphere is not good for almost all African planning corps."

"Sports business should be developed in the long run to be effective. If we only naturalize athletes from other countries and do not develop our own sports, the naturalized athletes will win gold medals at that time, but it is not the same as spending money to buy sports. What's the difference between a gold medal? But since I'm here, even if you local rich countries spend money to buy both Saladino and Phillips, you won't be able to win the long jump gold medal in the Asian Games!"

The eight contestants were reordered, and then they will perform the next three jumps according to the new order. However, judging from the current situation, perhaps only the three players who have skipped the eight-meter mark will have the chance to compete for the gold medal.

Several of the remaining contestants have jumped the 8-meter barrier before. Even though there is no hope of competing for the gold medal, these contestants still hope to hit the medal. Therefore, in the fourth jump, the contestants unanimously chose the more extreme jump. Jumping, which also greatly increases the chance of fouling.

Among the top five contestants, three of them failed their attempts due to fouls, and only two of them successfully completed the fourth attempt. Although the results of these two people are not bad, they have not reached eight meters.

The sixth player is Al-Shabah from Saudi Arabia. He has surpassed the 8-meter mark in the second trial jump.

Al Shaba adjusted his state and began to run up and take off. Perhaps it was influenced by Ben Mazuk's jump of 8.4 meters. Al Shaba also chose the extreme jumping method for this jump. His toes almost stepped on the marking line, but In the end, his jump was successful, and his score of 8.18 meters was close to Zhang Guan's 8.20 meters.

Al Shaba, who walked off the field, shook his head slightly disappointed, as if he was dissatisfied with this result. In fact, this result is already very good for Alashaba. Al Shaba's personal best is 8.35 meters, and being able to jump close to 8.20 meters in the competition shows that he performed very well. After all, the situation of Ben Mazuk jumping out of his personal best in the game is something that can be encountered but not sought after.

The next player who was ranked seventh to play was Zhang Guan.

"It's finally Zhang Guan's appearance again. I think Zhang Guan will definitely not give up the trial jump again this time. Saudi Arabian player Ben Mazuk just jumped out of 8.42 meters. If Zhang Guan wants to win the gold medal, You must challenge this result!"

The TV broadcast screen was also aimed at Ben Mazuk in a timely manner. At this time, Ma Zuke looked a little nervous, obviously worried that Zhang Guan would jump out of a better result.

I saw Zhang Guan started to run up, and then accompanied by the crisp sound of pedals, Zhang Guan had already taken off into the air.

"This flying height is much better than his previous jump!" Ben Mazuk suddenly felt guilty.

However, Zhang Guan, who was in the air, realized that he stepped on the line with that jump just now!

"Oops, I was a little too anxious just now, and the rhythm was a little messy, forget it, let's talk about it next time I try to dance!"

I saw that Zhang Guan withdrew his strength in the air, and then landed with a protective movement. At this time, the referee raised the red flag.

In long jump sports, the two stages of take-off and landing are relatively prone to injuries. When many athletes find themselves fouled or make mistakes, they will choose some protective follow-up actions to avoid injuries. This is true in sports such as gymnastics and diving. It is also very common.

Due to the protective landing action, Zhang Guan jumped just over six meters, but since he was sentenced to a foul, the result is useless.

"Zhang Guan made a foul! Great!" Ben Mazuk immediately became excited. The height Zhang Guan vacated just now gave Mazuk a premonition that it would be a very good result, and it might even exceed 8.4 meters. Now Zhang Guan's foul made Ma Zuke feel like he had survived a catastrophe.

"I'm still ranked first. Next, I'm going to jump to a better result." Mazuk stood on the run-up area while thinking.

Ben Mazuk was the last player to make the fourth attempt, and the referee didn't bother to urge him. The one-minute timing started when Mazuk was almost adjusted.

Run-up, take-off, flight, and landing, Mazuk's jump is perfect in movement, but the result is not as good as the third jump just now.

"8.33 meters? It's okay! It's already surpassed Zhang Guan's 8.20 meters. So, even if Zhang Guan can jump to 8.42 meters next time, the best result is the same as mine, but the second best result But it is lower than me, and the championship is still mine!" Thinking of this, Ma Zuke was overjoyed, and his two consecutive results surpassed Zhang Guan, which is definitely a very big advantage.

For events like the long jump, the mental state is very important, and it can be said that the mental state has an exponential impact on the performance of the physical state. Especially when the two athletes compete for the final championship, even a little bit of psychological advantage can be used better. The so-called advantage in playing after surpassing mainly refers to the psychological aspect.

Then came the fifth round of jumping for the contestants.

The players who played before did not bring any surprises, and Al Shaba, who played sixth, still did not jump out of better results.

"Then it's Zhang Guan's turn to play again. He will perform his fifth trial jump. I don't know this time, he can fly over 8.42 meters. Since Ben Mazuk's second best result is 8.33 meters, he also surpassed the Zhang Guan's 8.20 meters, so if Zhang Guan wants to win the gold medal, he must jump at least 8.43 meters." The commentator from CCTV said this, and turned to the guest next to him, Director Sun: "Director Sun, what do you think? Is it possible for Zhang Guan to reach 8.43 meters in this jump or achieve better results?"

"I think the possibility is still very high. Although Zhang Guan's trial jump failed last time, we can see that Zhang Guan also adopted a more aggressive jumping method. I think if Zhang Guan does not foul this jump, More than 8.4 meters is quite possible."

As soon as Director Sun finished speaking, Zhang Guan had already started running.

"Zhang Guan started the run-up! Not bad! Take off! Perfect! No foul!" Director Sun raised his voice by one degree every time he uttered a word, but just after he uttered the last sentence "No foul", Zhang Guan had already fallen into the sand pool.

However, at the next moment, Director Sun suddenly screamed: "We won! We won! This must be won!"

...

Zhang Guan was flying in the air, but coach Mike Powell, who was watching the game from a distance, seemed to see himself when he was young.

"Awesome!" Coach Powell murmured to himself. Even though he was an opponent, even if this game was related to his job, Coach Powell still couldn't help but praised Zhang Guan.

But in the eyes of Mazuk, time seemed to slow down. He saw Zhang Guan soaring into the sky, gliding in the sky, and then getting closer and closer to the 8.4-meter marking line.

"Zhang Guan's body has started to fall!" Ma Zuke clenched his fists tightly. He was looking forward to Zhang Guan's body falling to the ground as soon as possible, preferably before 8.4 meters.

However, the sky failed, and Zhang Guan's body was still in the air, but he had clearly passed the 8.4-meter mark.

"Zhang Guan surpassed me! But I will definitely pass again!" Ma Zuke thought to himself, he was ready to challenge the distance of 8.5 meters in the next trial jump.

But then, Zhang Guan's body crossed the 8.5-meter mark again, but his feet were still not in contact with the ground.

"Passing 8.5 meters!" Ma Zuke's heart skipped a beat. He had already realized that he might have lost, and 8.5 meters was a result he had never achieved in training. But at this time, Mazuk still had a little bit of luck in his heart. Maybe he could perform at a super level in the competition, jumping over 8.5 meters, and finally overtook Zhang Guan.

But in the next 0.1 second, Zhang Guan's body seemed to have crossed the 8.6-meter mark again. At this time, although his feet were already close to the ground, they still did not touch the ground.

"Crossed 8.6 meters!" The little bit of luck in Mazuk's heart was completely shattered at this moment.

...

When Zhang Guan landed, the position of the trace seemed to be pressed against the 8.7-meter marking line.

"8.7 meters, has it reached 8.7 meters!"

In the long jump event, at the highest level in the world, it is extremely difficult to increase every centimeter, but people still generally regard ten centimeters as a checkpoint, as a high wall that is difficult to leap, such as 8.4 meters, 8.5 meters m, 8.6 m...

The surveyor immediately took the measurement, and immediately announced the result of Zhang Guan's jump.

"8.70 meters!"
