Chapter 221 Winning Two Golds Every Day (fourth more)

8.70 meters, Zhang Guan once again refreshed the best result of the year, and this result is also the best long jump result in ten years.

"8.7 meters, we've won! We've won! Zhang Guan! Zhang Guan!" The commentator shouted almost at the same time as Director Sun. After a few seconds, the two gradually calmed down. Then the commentator said: "It's hard Imagine! Zhang Guan actually jumped to the 8.7-meter mark! This is 0.08 meters more than the World Cup of Track and Field more than two months ago! The long jump has reached this level of competition, and every 0.01 meters advanced is extremely difficult. Zhang Guan immediately improved his score by 0.08 meters! In my impression, only Mike Powell, the world record holder in the long jump, and the legendary flying man Carl Lewis can achieve this result!"

Director Sun is obviously more professional than the narrator. He said: "The last achievement of 8.7 meters dates back to 1993, which was created by the world record holder Mike Powell, and then in 1994 and 1995. , American player Wald and Cuban player Pedroso also jumped over 9.7 meters, but since then, no athlete has been able to jump to 8.7 meters. It can be said that this is eleven years. The best score in the world!"

Director Sun took a deep breath, and continued: "Now we can announce that Zhang Guan has won the men's long jump championship in the Doha Asian Games! No one in this world can surpass the 8.7-meter score!"

Director Sun said this with full confidence, as if he was stating a fact, and he was indeed stating a fact.

The game was not over yet, but the surrounding athletes stepped forward one after another to celebrate Zhang Guan, and the referee was also very sensible to suspend the game.

The camera gave Ben Mazuk a close-up. Ben Mazuk, who was still in high spirits just now, already looked desperate.

despair! Real despair!

8.7 meters is not only beyond the range of Ben Mazuk's ability, but also beyond the range of his imagination. Even Ben Mazuk, coached by world record holder Mike Powell, never imagined that he could jump to 8.7 meters.

"8.7 meters! I can't surpass it in my life! It turns out that Zhang Guan's strength is so strong. It seems that Walidi is right. Maybe in Zhang Guan's eyes, we are all just clowns." Ben- Mazuk sighed silently.

...

Coach Mike Powell let out a long sigh. He knew that it was impossible for him to get a lucrative coaching contract for the next two years.

"I didn't expect that since our generation retired, there will be such a powerful player in the world! The key point is that he is only 20 years old this year, far from reaching the golden age of a long jump athlete. Perhaps the future Zhang Guan , Can surpass me in my peak period! Even if he can’t, at least in the next ten years, he will dominate the entire long jump event!” Coach Powell sighed, and he suddenly felt that he couldn’t continue to eat the coach’s dinner.

Most people can't afford a coach of Powell's worth, that is, a wealthy country like Saudi Arabia is willing to spend money to hire Powell to teach. The big benefactor hired Powell as a professional teacher, certainly not just to get a runner-up. If there is no championship, Powell is equivalent to no value.

However, the appearance of Zhang Guan made Powell feel that he might not be able to teach a disciple who can surpass Zhang Guan within ten years. If he keeps taking the second place but fails to win the championship, his value as a coach will be infinitely reduced.

"Maybe I should pause for a while, don't work as a coach, I can learn from Johnson, and it would be nice to be a guest commentator!" Powell has already begun to plan for his future in his mind.

...

A few minutes later, the game resumed, and Ben Mazuk entered the court to complete his fifth attempt.

However, Zhang Guan's 8.7-meter result has completely destroyed Ben Mazuk's confidence. As a result, this time he did not even do the most basic walking-style vacant movements, and made a low-level mistake. The final result was not good. to seven meters.

The next final round of trial jumps became more of an arena for athletes to fight for honor. Zhang Guan ranked first with a score of 8.7 meters, which certainly cannot be surpassed; the second place Ben Mazuk scored 8.42 meters. Although this result is not as abnormal as Zhang Guan, but at the level of the contestants on the spot , is also unattainable.

The third runner-up, Al Shaba, has a score of 8.18 meters. There are probably two or three of the remaining athletes who can reach this distance, but at this time there is only the last trial jump left, and the possibility of a reversal is not great. .

After the top five players have been adjusted in turn, the Doha Asian Games men's long jump final four to eight have been determined, plus Zhang Guan, who is definitely the first, the suspense is only the second place competition between the two Saudi players.

Although Al Shaba tried his best in the last jump, he still did not surpass Ben Mazuk. Then Zhang Guan gave up the sixth trial jump, and then Ben Mazuk also chose to give up the sixth trial jump.

At this time, Ben Mazuk's mentality was already on the verge of collapse. From the low-level mistakes in the fifth attempt just now, it can be seen that Ben Mazuk has no intention of competing, so he directly chose to give up.

"Ben Mazuk gave up the game! We congratulate Zhang Guan, this is his first gold medal in this Asian Games, and also his first Asian Games gold medal!" The commentator seemed very calm, just now Zhang Guan When Guan jumped out of 8.7 meters, the commentator had already vented a lot of excitement, so at this moment, he seemed to be following the script.

I only heard the commentator continue to say: "But audiences who still want to continue enjoying Zhang Guan's game, please don't go away. Two hours later, Zhang Guan will participate in the men's 800-meter preliminaries, and at 23:30, Zhang Guan Guan will also appear in the men's 100-meter race, and I believe Zhang Guan will be able to win another gold medal."

...

The number of participants in the 800-meter race is similar to that of the 1500-meter race, and the personnel composition is also very similar. Generally, middle-distance runners are both 800m and 1500m, so most of the athletes who participated in the 1500m preliminaries yesterday appeared in today's 800m preliminaries.

The first 100 meters of the 800-meter starting stage have to be run in separate lanes, so each race can only accommodate eight runners. Therefore, the 800-meter preliminaries are one more than the 1,500-meter preliminaries, but the competition among athletes is even more cruel. . With the same number of contestants, there are twelve promotion places for 1500 meters, but only eight promotion places for 800 meters.

In the three 800-meter preliminaries, the top two in the group and the two top three with the best results will advance to the finals the day after tomorrow, and the grouping of athletes becomes more important. For capable players, it is good to be assigned to a weaker group and get the top two to advance directly; to be assigned to a stronger group and strive for a third place is definitely an advantage when comparing results .

Zhang Guan's luck was very good. He was assigned to a group with weak overall strength. It was not a problem for him to advance.

In the middle and long distance race, Zhang Guan's height and weight become a burden instead, and he consumes more energy than other runners, so the longer the distance of the race, the smaller the advantage of Zhang Guan, and vice versa. The distance of 800 meters is nearly half less than that of 1500 meters, and Zhang Guan's physical strength consumed in the "following run" situation is less than half, which means that Zhang Guan's 800 meters is stronger than 1500 meters.

However, because the overall strength of the athletes in this group is relatively weak, the speed must be relatively slow. The speed of Zhang Guan's follow-up running depends on the speed of the athletes in front. If the athletes in front run slowly, Zhang Guan will also run slowly, so In the end, although Zhang Guan qualified first in the group, his results were not so impressive.

After an hour's rest, the highlight of today's competition, the men's 100-meter trapeze competition, officially started.

In any track and field event, the 100-meter race is the highlight, but today's 100-meter race made the audience uninterested, because the level gap between the athletes is too great.

Zhang Guan is the world record holder and has already run within 9.7 seconds, while the best time among the rest of the competitors is also within 10 seconds, which is more than 0.3 seconds away! In the men's 100-meter race, at the last moment of the race, the athlete's speed is basically the fastest, and there will be a gap of more than five meters in 0.3 seconds. With such a large gap in the 100-meter race, it can be said that this race has already passed. There is no viewing at all.

So Zhang Guan easily won his second Asian Games gold medal. Saudi player Habebe won the runner-up in the 100-meter sprint, and the third place was taken away by Japanese star Naoki Tsukahara.

...

On this day, Zhang Guan was not the only player in the national track and field team who won the gold medal. The track and field team also achieved a lot in other events. For example, the women's shot put won the top two and the women's marathon also won the gold medal. However, there were only nine gold medals in the track and field field on this day, and the national team won four of them. Therefore, on the return bus, the team members laughed and laughed. The director is also cheerful.

"Our record is quite good today, and we have won all the gold medals that should be won." Director Ma said.

"Yeah, especially Zhang Guan, who seems to be in good condition! To be honest, when the Saudi Arabian jumped 8.42 meters, I really sweated for Zhang Guan!" Director Luo said with a smile.

Director Ma lowered his voice and said, "According to the schedule, tomorrow will be the 1500-meter final. If Zhang Guan really wins the championship, what should we do? Are we really going to let him run the middle distance in the future? We asked Zhang Guan at the beginning Come back with six gold medals, now he has two, four more."

"If you don't tell me, I've already forgotten about it!" Director Luo nodded silently: "Judging from Zhang Guan's performance today, maybe he can really win the 1,500-meter championship. But he really won the championship That's okay, who would think there are too many gold medals!"

"What about the middle run? Will he continue to participate in the future?" Director Ma asked.

Director Luo spread his hands, and said rascally: "You can't ask me about this matter, you have to ask Director Qu, and then let him have a headache..."
