Chapter 393: You Can Pass A Standard After One Day of Practice (Ninth Update)

The next day, Zhang Guan officially started triple jump training.

After spending several hours, being constantly corrected by Coach Li, Zhang Guan finally gradually became familiar with the technical movements of the triple jump, and was able to complete the whole set of movements of the triple jump more proficiently.

Of course, this alone is definitely not enough. The triple jump is far more technically demanding than the ordinary long jump, and the long jump technique has a greater impact on the final result. Zhang Guan needs more practice to become a A real triple jumper.

After training on the first day, Zhang Guan felt pretty good about himself. He felt that even in the last competition, he could achieve a relatively good result.

In the evening, Zhang Guan sat on the edge of the runway, watching the sunset in the distance.

"It's getting dark, let's practice here today, take a bath and eat!" Coach Li said while handing the water bottle to Zhang Guan.

Zhang Guan felt that it was a shame that he didn't even have a formal trial jump after practicing for a whole day, so he said, "Coach, you see, I've practiced the movements for a whole day, why don't you let me come to the formal trial jump?" once?"

"Official trial jump? You are still early! You are just getting started now, and you haven't found your own sense of triple jump rhythm. There is still a certain distance to go to the competition." Coach Li changed his voice and continued: "But if you really want to try jumping, then try it, but you have to protect yourself and don't get hurt."

"Okay!" Zhang Guan walked to the run-up area, but suddenly remembered something, so he asked loudly: "Coach Li, what is the current national record for the triple jump?"

"The national record for the triple jump? 17.34 meters. It was created by Zou Zhenxian in the 1981 World Cup track and field competition. It has been 27 years since now." Coach Li asked with a smile, "Why do you still want to break the national record? ?”

Zhang Guan did not answer directly, but continued to ask: "What is the Asian record for the triple jump?"

"The one I just mentioned, 17.34 meters, is also the Asian record for the triple jump!" Coach Li replied.

"Okay, I will work hard for the distance of 17 meters and 34!" Zhang Guan thought of this and started the run-up.

"The run-up is as fast as ever!" Coach Li nodded with satisfaction, and at this time, Zhang Guan also finished the run-up and started to take off.

One-leg hops, stride hops, jumps, the whole set of movements is done in one go, and it looks very smooth.

"The movement is very smooth. Our hard work all day has not been in vain. Huh? I feel that the jumping distance this time is a bit far!" Coach Li suddenly widened his eyes.

Zhang Guan had already fallen into the bunker, and when Zhang Guan got up, there were obvious marks in the bunker. Although this is just a practice field, there is no large scale board next to the bunker to intuitively explain the distance, but there are still small signs. At this time, the trace left by Zhang Guan was at the very edge, just beyond one of the small marks.

"This position has passed 17 meters! It has passed 17 meters! I am not mistaken, it has indeed passed 17 meters!" Coach Li exclaimed.

17 meters, there is still a lot of gap from the distance of 17.34 meters, but in terms of triple jump, this is already a very scary figure. Among the currently active triple jump athletes in China, those who can jump 17 meters can be counted with one hand.

"In the triple jump event, the standard achievement of international athletes is 16.85 meters! The Olympic A standard seems to be 17.10 meters! I don't have a professional measuring tool here. I don't know if Zhang Guan's jump has reached the Olympic A standard. The results, but even if they can’t reach them, they shouldn’t be far behind!”

Thinking of this, Coach Li had a ghostly expression: "This is Zhang Guan's first day of long jump practice! After practicing triple long jump for a day, he can jump 17 meters. Who would believe it if it was told? "

Looking at the traces in the sand pool, Zhang Guan shook his head slightly dissatisfied.

"This is just a little over 17 meters, and it's still far from the national record of 17.34 meters!" Zhang Guan said to Coach Li: "Coach, I have to try again."

After Zhang Guan finished speaking, he walked towards the run-up area.

Then Zhang Guan started his run-up, and then took off.

This time, Zhang Guan used more force than before. He felt that his jump should be farther than the last time.

"Flop..." Zhang Guan's feet landed in the sand pool, and immediately shoveled the sand into the air. The fine sand rolled and hit the ground like huge waves under the sunlight.

Looking back, Zhang Guan found that this jump was indeed better than the previous one, but the distance of 17.34 meters was still a bit far away.

...

"Zhang Guan jumped again!" Coach Li was still immersed in the matter of Zhang Guan jumping 17 meters, but he didn't react immediately. When he looked up, Zhang Guan had already landed.

"Farther than the jump just now!" Coach Li whispered. According to Coach Li's judgment, Zhang Guan had already jumped 17.10 meters.

"This jump must have passed 17.10 meters and reached the Olympic A standard! Others can't reach the Olympic A standard in a lifetime of training, but Zhang Guan can jump out of the Olympic A standard in one day of training. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, how could I believe it! "Coach Li was once again shocked by Zhang Guan.

Zhang Guan was still very dissatisfied with his jump.

"I have tried my best to dance, but I am still far from the national record. This national record is also an Asian record. It has not been broken in 27 years. It seems to be a very difficult record. I don't know and the world Compared with the record, how much worse."

Thinking of this, Zhang Guan asked, "Coach, what is the world record for the triple jump?"

"A world record?" Coach Li immediately said, "The world record for the triple jump is 18.29 meters set by Jon Edwards, a British athlete known as the 'Bird of the Century'. Edwards jumped out of this result in 1995 Yes, it's been 13 years since now!"

"18.29 meters? It's so much ahead of the Asian record! It's almost a meter gap!" Zhang Guan gasped. He thought that the national record of 17.34 meters should be closer to the world record, so it will last for 27 years No one broke it, but did not expect the world record to be a terrifying achievement.

"It seems that my current triple jump level is indeed far behind, and I need to train more seriously in the future!" Zhang Guan took a deep breath: "It's really a long way to go!"

...

After realizing his own shortcomings, in the next few days, Zhang Guan began to train seriously. His movements became more proficient and smoother, and he began to slowly find his own triple jump. sense of rhythm.

Training is repetition and repetition. This seemingly infinite repetition is actually the most boring. At the same time, for athletes, this kind of boring repetition can also make them forget the time, make their lives extremely fulfilling, and let them know nothing about it. Get through every day without realizing it.

Time flies, and soon it will be the end of February.

There were 29 days in February 2008, and it was on February 29 that the Basketball Association announced the upcoming training list for the men's basketball team, with a total of 18 players participating.

Zhang Guan's name is impressively listed!
