Stylistic road

Chapter 544 Long Jump Final

When he first became an athlete, Chen Mingliang had made various fantasies. The biggest fantasies was that he was standing on the podium, and then there would always be a beautiful volunteer who saw his tall, mighty, handsome and handsome side. People fall in love at first sight, and two people stay together and fly forever.

Of course, this is just a beautiful imagination.

He has been a basketball player in the Roulian Factory for so many years, and he hasn't seen any female audience fall in love with him. Only those big sisters who can sit on the floor and suck the soil look at Chen Mingliang and slobber with regret.

Really don't laugh at these fantasies, this is human nature, men and women can't avoid them.

This is the same as when you watch a boxing match and imagine that you have a card girl, and watch a basketball match like a cheerleader, these are people you can't get.

However, in general, don’t underestimate these volunteers, especially the volunteers of major events. They not only have good looks, but also have good knowledge and accomplishments. The average players are really honest. Just look down on it.

Therefore, putting away those flowers and bowels is the right way.

Of course, as the ace player among Chinese athletes, Chen Mingliang is naturally liked and loved by volunteers, but it is a pity that he has already become famous, and the two of them have no idea of ​​breaking up in the short term.

When the track and field competition is on to the third day, there will be a lot of content on this day, and 6 gold medals will be determined. But for Chen Mingliang, in addition to participating in the men's 100m awards, there is also a very important competition, that is Long jump finals.

This is an event specially adjusted by the organizing committee for him. It happens to be staggered in every event, so that he can fully maintain his physical strength.

The start time of the long jump final is 20:10 in the evening, and it started fairly early. When the competition is over, it will be able to catch up with the men’s 100m awards ceremony. The organizers are really good at playing, which perfectly ensures that Chen Mingliang has enough The audience is also blessed with the playing time.

Skip the hustle and bustle of the whole day, the time finally came to night, this is Chen Mingliang's big show time.

Why is the word "big show" so awkward, I can always think of female anchors who like to eat rice eel.

In the preparation area of ​​the long jumper, the athletes who participated in the competition all looked at Chen Mingliang with a vigilant face. They obviously regarded Chen Mingliang as the biggest threat. What did this person do for the long jump.

Of course, there are some very few athletes who took the initiative to approach Chen Mingliang. They are loyal fans of Chen Mingliang and express their warm congratulations on Chen Mingliang's achievements in the 100 meters.

There are a total of 12 athletes who can qualify for the long jump finals, but only Chen Mingliang is a Chinese, that is to expand to all of Asia, and there is only another athlete from Saudi Arabia. Their name is a bit domineering, called: Sabie!

The strength of the entire Asia in track and field is not strong, the Chinese team is still considered a general in the team, at least we can show off in the Asian Games.

Looking at the Chinese track and field world, in the World Series, there are still some athletes who can come out to support the women's event, such as Zheng Fengrong in the early stage, the Oriental Deer in the mid-term, and Xing Huina, Gong Lijiao and others in these years.

But in the men's event, if there is a long-distance mobilizer who can enter the finals, it will be regarded as a historical breakthrough. Take the long jump event as an example, this time the breakout is actually Chen Mingliang, which is already very valuable.

Chen Mingliang participated in four individual events in this Olympics, namely men’s 100 meters, men’s 200 meters, men’s 800 meters and long jump. The national team set his goal for him before the competition to win three gold medals. This pressure is already very high. Yes, but more people think that he can get 4 gold medals or even exceed the 5th gold medal.

However, if you want to win the gold medal in the 4*100m relay, you really have to learn from the sportsmanship of Bangzi Country in the 2002 World Cup. Without external support, it is really difficult to do it.

However, everyone generally believes that the task of three gold medals should be relatively easy to complete. Many viewers are even thinking that Chen Mingliang can get the second gold medal today, and then take another one at 200 meters. As for 800 meters, love So so.

Do you think so, are you not going to ignore Bolt, who practiced 200 meters?

The long jump competition has begun!

After the athletes were checked, Chen Mingliang drew lots and he was ranked twelfth in order. As expected, he was playing at home and the signing was perfect!Ollie gives.

In fact, the result of this kind of lottery is certainly just a coincidence. The host never admits that they had other actions, and the long jump is different from the rules of other events, that is, the order will be re-ordered after the first three jumps, so the lottery is in order. The significance of the pros and cons is not particularly great.

In the official long jump competition, the athletes first try to jump 3 times in the order of drawing lots, then select the top 8 from these 12 athletes according to their results, and then try again 3 times.

In the end, the highest score in these 6 trials is used as the individual's final score and the ranking is determined.

At this time, far across the ocean, in the studio of the NBC television station in the United States, Mike Powell sat in front of the rostrum as a guest commentator.

Yes, the commentator invited by the TV station is not Karl Lewis, who is known as King Karl, but Mike Powell.Although Lewis and Chen Mingliang are more similar in sports, they are both sprinters and long jumpers, but who makes the long jump world record holder Mike Powell.

The better the results, the more say.

Mike Powell used to be a basketball player, but unfortunately, the basketball coach sentenced him to death early, thinking that he could not make a breakthrough in basketball, although his vertical jump score was more than 1 meter, as a last resort, this Only then changed his career to become a track and field athlete.

Mike Powell lost to Carl Lewis in most games, and the world is not optimistic that he can win. However, on August 30, 1991, at the Tokyo National Arena, Carl Lewis had already jumped 8.91 meters. On the premise, Mike Powell tried his best, 8.95 meters!

Since then, he has obtained the new world record since 1968 from Beamon, and kept this record until 2008.

Today, 45-year-old Mike Powell has run out of hair. He is moving towards this middle age in the Mediterranean. Now he is chatting with the host about the upcoming long jump final.

"Chen is indeed a great player. He won the men's 100-meter sprint championship. Now he is challenging his second gold medal in the long jump. However, I don’t like him. I prefer Panama’s Saratino. In May of this year, he jumped out of 8.73 meters and set a new South American record, and Chen has not participated in the long jump competition for a long time..."

But the host next to him immediately answered: "But many people think that Chen is the biggest favorite of the long jump champion, and some even pin their hope of jumping over the 9-meter mark on him, as the world record holder. What do you think of this statement?"

Mike Powell thought for half a minute before he said: "I have to admit that Chen may indeed win the championship, but he wants to hit the world record. I think it is impossible. Although Chen is 25 years old this year, he is the gold of athletes. Age, but he didn’t put his focus on the long jump. He jumped farther than others. It was entirely because of his good talent. Therefore, his starting point was high. This can only lead to good initial results, but he wants to touch the ceiling. It's hard."

The host was very excited, "Is Carl Lewis failing to break the world record because of this? Did you comment on him because Chen and Carl are more alike?"

"Yes, on the runway, Lewis is my'enemy' rather than a friend. I am willing to maintain this relationship. But what about 65 consecutive victories? It's not that I broke the world record... ."

It was this that made him worry about it.

The live game finally started.

The first appearance was the Greek athlete Tessa Thomas. His performance can only be said to be average. It is a kind of hard work that makes it difficult to enter the final. And the first appearance put him a lot of pressure, so he directly I made a mistake and didn't get a result on the first jump.

The Czech athlete Roman Novotny played the second time. He is not a strong athlete, but he still got the result, 7 meters 8, temporarily ranking first.

That's right, playing has this advantage long ago. You can be ranked high for a short time, even if you only jump 1 meter away, as long as your results are valid, you will still be ranked first in the world at some point in the Olympics.

The following is the Saudi Arabian athlete Sabie and Botswana athlete Galena Mosse have played in succession, but because of extreme tension, they did not perform to the level of the qualifying competition, and their best result was not yet 7m9.

The world's number one Panamanian Saratino made his fifth appearance, and finally it was the turn of the bull.

Saratino first glanced at Chen Mingliang, and then began to run.He is a very stable athlete. Although his first place is conservative, but with the foundation there, he still easily jumped out of 8.10. This result should not be too stressful to enter the top 8.

After Saratino, South African athlete Mokeyena and Cuban athlete Cameyo are both powerful players. They jumped 8.24 meters and 8.20 meters respectively. This is simply going to explode. Saratino suddenly I feel a little conservative in my first jump. I didn't expect my usual competitors to be so popular now.

Below are a few unknown players who waited until Makusha from Zimbabwe finished the eleventh jump, and finally it was Chen Mingliang's turn.

Seeing Chen Mingliang stand up, the enthusiasm of the audience was immediately aroused, and everyone just wanted to watch his performance.

"Finally, Chen Mingliang has come to the stage. This is his first test jump and the last jump in the first round of the long jump. Now for Chen Mingliang, his first task is to get a guarantee like Saratino. Let's talk about entering the finals."

Before the host finished speaking, Chen Mingliang started to run. He is not Zhang Guowei, and he does not like to spend so much time interacting with the audience. It is good to greet the audience normally.

I saw Chen Mingliang first stepped back and measured his steps, then started to start with one step, two steps, three steps...

I saw his speed getting faster and faster. To see whether Chen Mingliang’s approach is really pleasing to the eye, or whether the long jump is worth the fare, this is equivalent to watching Chen Mingliang run six 100-meter races.

Chen Mingliang's speed increased to the extreme, but he did not take off at the jumping point, but rushed straight into the bunker, because before he waited for the jump, Chen Mingliang found that he had already stepped on the line on his last step.

"Oh!"

Tens of thousands of people on the scene shared a sigh of regret. The audience sitting far away could not see the game scene, but could watch the big screen, which clearly replayed the moment Chen Mingliang stepped on the line.

"Chen is not a god, he will also make mistakes." Saratino's mood suddenly improved a lot, and he was also afraid that Chen Mingliang would suddenly jump out of an 8.5-meter score.

Didn't have any grades, I'm asking you to scream!

After the first round of jumping, Chen Mingliang and two other difficult brothers tied for the bottom.South African athlete Mokjena temporarily ranked first with 8.24 meters.

At this time, the audience both live and in front of the TV were a little disappointed, but everyone was comforting themselves. After all, it was only the first try and there were two opportunities.

At the beginning of the second round of trial jumps, the first three players still played soy sauce. Only the fourth player, Galena Mose, was able to perform. He jumped out of 8.95 meters, but I don’t know if there is a chance to advance. finals.

Next came Saratino, who regarded Chen Mingliang as his worst enemy. His first jump was a bit conservative, but after all he achieved results, he could finally let go of this jump.

Start, run-up, take-off, take off, this series of movements are not bad, the final volume of 8 meters 26, stable, stable in the finals.

Among the athletes who appeared subsequently, everyone's results were above 8 meters, and did not exceed the score of 8 meters 26.

Finally it was Chen Mingliang's turn to play again. Maybe the first one was too excited. This is not something Chen Mingliang is familiar with. For this reason, he moved the starting point of his measurement 20 centimeters back, thinking that it should be done this time.

Seeking stability is not the style of my brother Liang. My brother just wants to make a good grade.

"Chen Mingliang is ready, he is about to start again, let us watch his jump!"

Following the host’s commentary, Chen Mingliang really started his second jump. The speed was very fast, the jump was high, the air posture was perfect, and the landing point was close to 9 meters.

"Wow!"

There was an exclamation on the scene, this result is probably more than 8 meters.

However, the referee raised the red flag without knowing the current affairs, and this jump was also invalid.

"Chen lost the second jump again. He won't be out of the game with three shocks!" The host in the NBC studio exclaimed, while Mike Powell was a little gloating.

"The No. 1 favorite may also be out without results. He is very similar to me in this regard. I used to be too aggressive in jumping, often without results."

For a top athlete, what everyone wants to see most is nothing more than two situations. One is that he played awesome and won the championship with a record result; the other is that he played extremely badly and was directly eliminated.

The domestic audience became nervous, and they also gave hope that Chen Mingliang could easily win the gold medal. Unexpectedly, after the two jumps, he was still ranked first from the bottom. Now he is the only one who is with him.

...

The third round of competition has finally begun. For many athletes, it is always their last chance, because after this jump, four athletes will leave the stage and bid farewell to the Olympic Games. Is there any Chen Mingliang among these four athletes? , No one has a bottom.

For Chen Mingliang, this is also his last jump. Whether he can continue his dream depends on this.
