Chapter 481 The second jump (second update)

More than 80,000 spectators at the scene gave out earth-shattering cheers at the same time, but the cheers fell into Saladino's ears, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

It was also the first trial jump, and they also skipped the 8.40-meter mark, but the results were completely different. Saladino's trial jump ended in a foul by stepping on the line, while Zhang Guan crossed the 8.40-meter mark . Comparing the two, Saladino felt that he had lost the upper hand.

At this time, the surveyor also gave Zhang Guan's final score of 8.42 meters.

"8.42 meters, Zhang Guan jumped 8.42 meters. This is a very good result. You must know that the best long jump result in 2001 was only 8.41 meters! If it is an ordinary long jump competition, this result is enough to win the championship. I think Among the on-site contestants, there are definitely less than five who can challenge this result!"

The narrator said it well. Among the contestants on the scene, there are only seven or eight players who have jumped over 8.40 meters. But considering the state of the competition, there may be only three or five players who can jump over 8.40 meters. .

The other contestants all showed solemn expressions. Zhang Guan set such a high threshold in his first jump attempt, which was equivalent to blocking most of the contestants from the range of medals.

The competition continued. The last Senegalese player Kababadi jumped out with a good result of 8.03 meters. However, everyone was still talking about Zhang Guan's 8.42 meters. No one cared about Kababadi's good result of more than 8 meters.

...

At the end of the first round of the competition, Zhang Guan is temporarily ranked first, but all the contestants on the scene know that the result of 8.42 meters is not enough to win the championship, because there is still the existence of Saladino, Saladino must Will jump out better results in the next game.

After the results of the first round of the 12 contestants flashed on the broadcast screen, the second round of the competition began immediately, and the first to appear was still the Greek player Tessa Thomas. Tessa Thomas was obviously stimulated by Zhang Guan's 8.42 meters. This time he jumped to the limit, but luck was still not on Tessa Thomas' side, and his second attempt also failed.

The next one was Al Shaba from Saudi Arabia. Since Al Shaba only jumped 7.80 meters the first time, he chose to fight again in the second attempt. He bet that his luck was as bad as that of Tessa Thomas. fail.

Botswana's Galena Moser retired due to injury, so after Al Shaba's trial jump, it was Panama's Saladino's turn to play.

"Then it was Saladino's turn to come on stage. After the failure of the first attempt, I think Saladino should have found some sense of the game. I don't know if he can surpass Zhang Guan's 8.42 meters. He started Run-up!" The commentator suddenly stopped speaking, looking at Saladino who had completed the acceleration in the broadcast screen.

After the first attempt failed, Saladino was obviously prepared this time, he appeared more confident and performed more calmly.

I saw Saladino jumping high and gliding in the air like a big flying bird, and then fell heavily into the sand pool. The whole set of movements was perfect, it can be said that it was impeccable.

"It seems to exceed 8.50 meters! Is there any foul? The referee raised the white flag, and there is no foul for this jump! 8.53 meters! Saladino surpassed Zhang Guan and temporarily ranked first."

The audience at the scene did not cheer, but there was sparse applause. Many people's faces showed a dignified look, obviously worried for Zhang Guan. According to the situation of the Olympic Games in previous years, 8.53 meters is definitely a hopeful achievement for a gold medal.

Saladino waved his fist excitedly. He looked around and saw the faces in the audience who were anxious about Zhang Guan, which made Saladino even more excited.

"I am the strongest! The champion must be me." Saladino's eyes showed a firm look, and his expression became more confident.

...

Cuban player Martínez jumped 7.90 meters next, and then Spanish player Meriz performed well in his second attempt, jumping 8.02 meters. South African player Mokeyena failed in the attempt. A Cuban player Cameo jumped 8.09 meters.

Zimbabwean player Ma Kusha already has a score of 8.19 meters as a guarantee, so Bentang, who has become incomparable in the second attempt, seems to be competing with Zhang Guan and Saladino. And Ma Kusha is indeed a very capable player. He jumped over the 8.30-meter mark in one fell swoop and rose to third place with a score of 8.34 meters, only with Saladino and Zhang Guan.

Ma Kusha also walked out of the sand pool very excitedly. Obviously, he was quite satisfied with his result. He waved to the audience, but not many audiences were willing to respond, because Zhang Guan appeared later, and everyone looked forward to it. Looking at the run-up area, waiting for Zhang Guan to appear, no one cared about Ma Kusha at all.

Ma Kusha walked off the field in a little disappointment, and at this time, Zhang Guan stood on the run-up area for the second time.

There was a continuous sound of cheering at the scene, and people hoped that Zhang Guan could jump more than 8.53 meters and complete the surpassing of Saladino.

After the first trial jump, Zhang Guan obviously made some adjustments. This time he decided to choose a jump method that is more biased towards the limit.

Zhang Guan half arched his body, shook his arms slightly, and then started to run.

"Zhang Guan started the run-up!" The commentator was already holding his breath, his eyes fixed on the screen, for fear of missing any details.

On the field, at the springboard, Zhang Guan suddenly jumped up, and the referee immediately raised the white flag.

But the camera did not leave even a moment for the referee, but followed Zhang Guan directly and moved forward.

Even though Zhang Guan is still in the air, Saladino has already felt the huge pressure, but judging from Zhang Guan's speed during the run-up and the height after take-off, the result of this jump is bound to be very good.

"Maybe it can exceed 8.50 meters!" Saladino thought while watching the marking line beside the sand pool.

However, when Zhang Guan landed, he had clearly crossed the 8.50-meter mark.

"It has reached 8.60 meters!" Saladino's heart tightened. He watched Zhang Guan stay very close in the sand pool, and his expression and mentality became more and more serious.

...

"8.62 meters! Zhang Guan's test jump this time is 8.62 meters, and he surpassed Saladino! Now Zhang Guan is ranked first again, and the result of 8.62 meters may already guarantee Zhang Guan to get this jump. Gold medal." The commentator said.

The score of 8.62 meters is enough to win the championship in any level of competition. Among the athletes on the scene, there are only two other athletes with a higher score than Zhang Guan himself. One of them is of course two months ago. Saladino, who jumped out of 8.73 meters, and the other person is Greek player Tessa Thomas, who jumped out of 8.66 meters last year. This result was once the best result in the long jump last year.

It can be said that Zhang Guan's trial jump this time is equivalent to directly ranking the other 9 players in the competition for the gold medal. The next suspense is whether Saladino and Tessa Thomas can reproduce their highest level and jump more than 8.62 meters grades.

Even the commentator of ESPN also made such a voice: "It seems that Zhang Guan has returned to his personal peak state, I think the overall situation of this long jump competition is settled, unless Saladino plays two months ago In that state, otherwise it would be impossible to defeat Zhang Guan! We may be able to congratulate the Chinese in advance for another Olympic gold medal."
