Chapter 132

Not only the audience in the live broadcast room, but even Zhan Youming smiled and said to Su Yu after he left the stage: "Our Xiao Yu looks good today!"

Su Yu didn't care about this level of teasing from Zhan Youming.

After all, in the preliminaries just now, both he and Zhan Youming were actually equally slacking off. After all, Zhan Youming's 200m PB had already reached 19.89 seconds, and he had only run 20.92 seconds in the previous preliminaries, which was more than 1 second away from his personal best.

His PB was only 20.48 seconds, and he ran 21.33 seconds in the semi-finals. To be honest, he slacked off even more than his brother Youming.

Hearing Su Yu's complaints, Zhan Youming rubbed Su Yu's head viciously: "You Su Xiaoyu!"

After laughing and cursing, the two of them sat together in the backcourt lounge, waiting for Dr. Liao to give them a relaxing massage.

It should be said that this 200-meter preliminaries in the morning was not too stressful for both of them. Even after the massage, they still had plenty of time left, so Zhan Youming wondered if he could go to the audience seats to watch the game or something.

"What are the remaining competitions this morning? Is the high jump final in the morning?"

Zhan Youming didn't remember the order of the competition very clearly, he only remembered that there seemed to be a high jump event in today's schedule.

Su Yu, who was still lying on the massage bed, shook his head when he heard Zhan Youming's words: "No, the high jump final will be in the evening, it should start at 7:10 tonight."

Hearing Su Yu's answer, Zhan Youming subconsciously said, "Xiao Yu, you remember the schedule very well."

After he finished speaking, Zhan Youming suddenly thought, "Oh, you and Jiang Yuan are childhood friends. I forgot. Jiang Yuan will also compete in the high jump final tonight, right? I haven't seen Jiang Yuan much in the past two days. Is he preparing for tonight's final?"

Su Yu said "hmm" and gave Zhan Youming an affirmative answer.

Jiang Yuan has indeed not appeared much these days, whether in the group or at other times.

Su Yu could see that Jiang Yuan was under a lot of pressure, especially this time when he needed to focus on the high jump event and strive to meet the qualification standards for the World Championships.

Although they are childhood friends, their states of mind are different when dealing with pressure.

When facing pressure, he is more willing to keep trying, break through his difficulties and find his target point through intense brainstorming.

When Jiang Yuan encountered difficulties and pressure since he was a child, what he needed more was extreme calmness. He preferred to calm himself down in a quiet environment, so as to stabilize his mentality and mind, and then face the problems.

As Jiang Yuan’s parents said, that’s enough, he’s back to being autistic again.

As a childhood friend, Su Yu noticed that Jiang Yuan had entered his autistic mode again on the first day Jiang Yuan arrived in Doha, Qatar, so he did not disturb Jiang Yuan even when he was having breakfast.

He hopes that he can achieve good results, and of course he also hopes that Jiang Yuan can get the same ideal result.

Thinking of this, Su Yu thought about tonight's men's high jump final - he hoped that everything would go well for his brother Yuan tonight.

***

At the same time, in the official hotel of the Asian Championships in Doha, just as Su Yu guessed, Jiang Yuan was alone in the hotel's gym wearing headphones and doing today's simple maintenance training. While training, there was no music in his headphones as others thought, but only the white noise of the library that was constantly looping.

For Jiang Yuan, training in the hotel gym is like sitting in a library and reading quietly. Through the orderly training rhythm, his mind becomes calmer and clearer.

Jiang Yuan did not turn off the white noise in his headphones until the established training plan was successfully completed. He just took a look at the messages in the group after the training, and after confirming that Su Yu had successfully advanced to the semi-finals, he put away his phone again.

Jiang Yuan could feel that his current state was different from his game state in the past two seasons. In comparison, it was more like the state when he was concentrating on learning and overcoming difficulties.

This state made him feel nostalgic and excited at the same time.

Jiang Yuan knew that as a late athlete, he actually had quite a few problems - the most obvious one was that he made breakthroughs too quickly and easily in the early stages of his career, so much so that he had no sense of reality about his achievements for a long time.

For other players, 2.15 meters is already a very difficult threshold to cross, but in his memory, 2.15 meters seems to be just a "goal that can be crossed with a little effort."

He has also encountered low points in his career, like last season, when both his long jump and high jump reached a bottleneck.

It’s just that his bottleneck stage is already a difficult height to reach for many other players.

But even if he has such top talent, the challenges he has to face will not disappear just because of his talent.

However, since he decided to become a professional athlete, Jiang Yuan had his own pursuits in long jump and high jump. However, his talent not only brought him an easier growth path, but also actually brought him some negative effects that might be a little incomprehensible to others.

That is, his excitement threshold is relatively high.

For other athletes, the National Athletics Grand Prix race may be a huge challenge, but for Jiang Yuan, there is basically nothing in the National Athletics Grand Prix race that can attract his excitement unless his opponents include Zhang Xujian and Sun Yuhang.

Jiang Yuan certainly knows that as an athlete, not every competition can be challenging and exciting. When facing these regular season games, he also devotes his focus and serious attitude.

But he also knew more clearly that a competition lacking pressure and excitement would make it difficult for him to successfully complete the challenge of his best result.

Sometimes, when high-level athletes compete with each other, it not only brings pressure to each other, but also motivation.

Fortunately, this time the national team put him on the Asian Championships high jump roster.

From the moment he arrived in Doha, Qatar, the long-lost pressure and excitement gradually emerged. Especially after the high jump qualifying competition the day before, Jiang Yuan could already feel himself becoming more and more excited.

That's it.

Keep it up - wait for the final tonight!

***

When Su Yu and his group returned from the Khalifa Stadium, they still didn't see Jiang Yuan, and Su Yu didn't think too much about it.

He understood Jiang Yuan just as Jiang Yuan understood him. At this moment, what he needed to do was definitely not to go to Jiang Yuan's house to chat and cheer him up, but to let Jiang Yuan continue to be "isolated" and prepare well for the final in the evening.

As for him, although the morning preliminaries did not consume much physical energy, he had run 4 guns for three consecutive days after all. It was impossible to say that his condition had not been consumed at all.

So after lunch, Su Yu simply digested the food and quickly returned to his room to prepare for a nap. By the time his nap was over, the national team had already received the grouping table for the men's 200m sprint semi-finals from the organizer.

In tonight's semi-finals, it happened that Japan's Takagi Akechi and Kobayashi Yuki once again met Zhan Youming and Su Yu. Takagi Akechi and Zhan Youming were in the first group of tonight's semi-finals, while Su Yu and Kobayashi Yuki were in the last group of tonight's semi-finals.

In addition to Yuki Kobayashi, there are two other strong players in the same group with Su Yu, namely "Little Zhan" Zhan Chunhan from the Chinese Taipei team, and the 200m "Rookie King" Lee Jong-hyun from South Korea.

It can be said that the semi-final group that Su Yu is in alone has already gathered half of the list of men's 200m finalists in last year's Asian Games.

In other words, although Su Yu was not under much pressure during the preliminaries, he would have to try his best in the semi-finals - at least he had to strive to get third place in the group in the semi-finals to have a chance to qualify as a substitute after the three groups of matches are over.

After Su Yu woke up from his lunch break, Pei Dingshan brought him this "bad news".

But after hearing it, Su Yu seemed very interested and excited.

Pei Dingshan knew from Su Yu's appearance that he was probably already impatient for the game in the evening.

Since the new season, the only time Su Yu really let loose was in yesterday's 400m final. This is definitely not enough for Su Yu at the moment. He is eagerly looking forward to it, hoping to get to tomorrow's 200m final as quickly as possible.

The group list for today's men's 200m semi-final seemed like a "pleasant surprise" for Su Yu.

Pei Dingshan could see that Su Yu was looking forward to the competition, so he didn't say much. He just raised his hand and rubbed his head, telling him to just focus on controlling himself.

After all, as an athlete, it is sometimes very difficult to perfectly control the competitive state and excitement. In all competitions so far this season, Su Yu's control has been very good. Pei Dingshan does not think that Su Yu needs to maintain a "100% zero error" state until the World Championships.

Athletes are not machines, and top athletes who are strong enough actually have some traces of their personal traits to a greater or lesser extent.

Even if Su Yu himself was willing to learn control and was good at it, Pei Dingshan never thought of making Su Yu a complete and thorough "control maniac".

Su Yu heard the indulgence in Pei Dingshan's voice, nodded awkwardly and said "hmm".

***

That evening, when Su Yu got on the national team bus with Zhan Youming and others, he finally saw Jiang Yuan whom he hadn't seen for a day. However, he saw that Jiang Yuan had earphones in his ears, and knew that Jiang Yuan was probably playing white noise to be autistic again. So he just glanced at Jiang Yuan's condition and thought he seemed to be in good condition, so he didn't go out of his way to ask about his situation.

However, after Su Yu sat on the bus, he saw on WeChat that Zhou Yuan, Ye Minghao, and Jiang Ruohui had secretly contacted him, asking him about Jiang Yuan's news.

Zhou Yuang: [Small island! ! Yuanzi seems to have disappeared these two days. Is he okay? 】

Su Yu thought about it and replied on the phone: [It’s okay. 】

Zhou Yuang: [? ? ? 】

Zhou Yuang: [So decisive? Why has Yuanzi been missing from the group these past two days? 】

Su Yu: [Because he is autistic. 】

Zhou Yuang: [? ? ? 】

Zhou Yuang: [Is everything okay?] ! Xiaoyu shocked gif]

Su Yu: [Well, it’s really okay. Brother Yuan only behaves like this when he is quite excited. You can think of it as a way of calming yourself down through autism so that you can better cope with challenges. 】

Zhou Yuang: [… Xiaoyu is confused gif]

Zhou Yuang: [Huh? 】

Zhou Yuang: […I really don’t understand the thoughts of you academic masters. 】

Su Yu: [Oh, stupid Angzi. 】

Zhou Yuang: [! Damn, Su Xiaoyu, you're relying on the fact that you're in Doha and I can't hit you, right? ! Wait, wait for you to come back and see how I’ll deal with you! 】

…

Along the way, Su Yu chatted with Zhou Yuang on the phone, and also explained Jiang Yuan's general situation to Ye Minghao and Jiang Ruohui, telling them not to worry.

After receiving Su Yu's reply, Ye Minghao and Jiang Ruohui felt relieved. However, they were also quite curious about Jiang Yuan's current state. After all, they had known each other for so long, and this was the first time they saw Jiang Yuan enter such a completely "autistic" state.

So after such a long period of "autism", what kind of performance can Jiang Yuan put forward in tonight's men's high jump final?

***

The evening competition time soon arrived, and the men's high jump final was one of the earliest events to start tonight. Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming were ready to comment on the high jump early in the morning.

There is no doubt that the focus of tonight's men's high jump commentary will be Zhang Xujian and Jiang Yuan from the Chinese team.

"Some viewers may have already known that in tonight's men's high jump final, our Chinese athletes Zhang Xujian and Jiang Yuan will compete in the competition later. In addition to the Chinese team, Japan's high jump stars Kenta Sasaki and Takashi Matsumoto have also advanced to tonight's final."

"In addition, there are two players from Malaysia who have also advanced to the finals in tonight's competition. The other six players in the finals are from Syria, Qatar, South Korea, Iraq, Iran and Chinese Taipei."

"A total of 12 finalists will compete in later matches for the final victory tonight."

After briefly introducing the countries of origin of the 12 male high jumpers on the field, the topic between Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming naturally shifted to the purpose of Jiang Yuan and Zhang Xujian's participation in the competition.

"Some viewers may be wondering why our famous athlete Sun Yuhang did not compete in the men's high jump final of the Asian Championships. This is because Sun Yuhang has successfully reached the qualifying line for the World Championships, so in this Asian Championships, Sun Yuhang did not choose to compete, but gave the opportunity to young athlete Jiang Yuan."

"This is the national team's expectation and affirmation of Jiang Yuan. However, the men's high jump standard for the World Championships in Doha, Qatar is as high as 2.30 meters. This result is not easy to achieve even for a famous veteran like Zhang Xujian, especially since 2.30 meters is a result that Jiang Yuan has not achieved in official competitions so far. So we can only say that Jiang Yuan has the hope of meeting the qualification for the World Championships. The specific situation will depend on the competition later."

Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming are not the type to flatter their players to the point of losing face. It is precisely because of their down-to-earth style of commentary that stories that netizens jokingly call "crazy armor stacking" frequently appear.

For tonight’s game, the two’s introductions were the same as always.

The track and field fans and spectators in the live broadcast room have long been accustomed to the style of the two teachers. They just listen to the parts they need, and the rest is discussed freely by themselves on the public screen.

[Come on, come on, press the button. How many jumps will Jiang Yuan apply to be exempted from tonight? 】

[One hand is 2.22 meters.] 】

[Then I'll press a 2.25-meter one? 】

Is 2.25 meters a bit too much? After all, it’s the Asian Championships final, so I think 2.20 meters is about right…】

[In the Asian Championships finals, the height of the first jump is basically already 2.15 meters, right? After the first jump, the bar should be raised once to 2.19 or 2.20 meters. If it is only avoided to 2.20 meters, it does not seem like Jiang Yuan's style. Even if he needs to be more cautious in the Asian Championships final, it should at least reach 2.22 meters, right? 】

[I agree, follow and bet 2.22 meters! 】

…

As the two most famous young athletes in the country today, Jiang Yuan and Su Yu each have their own competition characteristics. Among them, Jiang Yuan's 'continuous free jumps' in long jump and high jump events are equally famous as Su Yu's 'starting reaction time'.

This kind of 'continuous free jumps' has almost become a signature move for Jiang Yuan in competitions. Whenever Jiang Yuan participates in a competition, the audience will inevitably come to count the number of Jiang Yuan's 'continuous free jumps'.

However, after the men's high jump finals began today, Jiang Yuan's performance immediately surprised the track and field fans -

Not only these track and field fans, but even Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming in the Jigu video live commentary room were shocked when they saw Jiang Yuan's first jump was a normal one.

"Contestant Jiang Yuan didn't choose to skip the jump in tonight's competition?"

Tian Ruhui watched Jiang Yuan on the field start his run-up effortlessly and smoothly, then run up, jump, and cross the bar, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

He originally thought that Jiang Yuan felt that his condition was not good today so he chose to start the trial jump at a height of 2.15 meters. However, looking at Jiang Yuan's calm state on the field, Tian Ruhui really couldn't understand it.

Could it be that... Jiang Yuan has chosen some new tactical plan?

***

In the live commentary room of Jigu Video, these track and field fans had never imagined that they had considered all possibilities, but in the end they lost to the possibility of 'no jump if they didn't apply'.

[So... does anyone know what's going on with Jiang Yuan today? 】

Actually, it’s not like Jiang Yuan didn’t apply for exemption from the competition in the past, but after that competition, Jiang Yuan himself explained that he needed to adapt himself in advance to the possibility that the long jump and high jump events would be held in parallel in the future, so he wanted to experience it in advance.

But today... at today's Asian Championships, why did Jiang Yuan do this?

Not to mention Tian Ruhui, Zhou Jiming and these track and field fans, in fact even Zheng Sheng and other team coaches in the Chinese athletes' seats in the audience were a little surprised by Jiang Yuan's tactical choice tonight.

However, Pei Dingshan looked at Jiang Yuan's performance on the field and nodded slightly.

Seeing Jiang Yuan nod, Liu Qinlong asked Pei Dingshan curiously, "Coach Pei, what do you think of Jiang Yuan's performance tonight?"

Pei Dingshan heard Liu Qinlong's question and said bluntly: "Nothing, it's just that Jiang Yuan may have found his best condition tonight."

Liu Qinlong: “???”

What do you say?

Pei Dingshan looked at the situation on the field and said calmly: "In Jiang Yuan's previous competition, the continuous application for exemption from jumps may seem to have a stimulating effect, but a 'good-looking' competition may not be the best competition for the players."

When Liu Qinlong and Zheng Sheng heard what Pei Dingshan said, they didn't quite understand what he was saying at first, but after all, they were both experienced coaches, and after a moment's thought, they vaguely understood the meaning of Pei Dingshan's words.

Pei Dingshan continued, "The continuous application for exemption from jumps in the early stage can indeed save Jiang Yuan a lot of physical energy, but for him, it also lacks a more detailed experience and feeling of the gradual increase in the height of the horizontal bar."

From increasing the horizontal bar interval by 5 cm each time to 4 cm, 3 cm and 2 cm intervals, Jiang Yuan has far fewer opportunities to experience this kind of interval than other players. Moreover, the free jumps in the first few trial jumps would not have caused too much physical burden for Jiang Yuan. Rather than being trial jumps, it was more of a warm-up opportunity for him.

Especially in this Asian Championships final, Jiang Yuan only needed to participate in the men's high jump event and did not need to compete in both long jump and high jump at the same time.

In this case, instead of applying for exemption from jumps continuously in the early stage, it is better to start trial jumps step by step from a height of 2.15 meters, just like now, to find the best state and the strength and control needed to pass the bar after rising to a higher height.

In other words, Jiang Yuan's decision to start his trial jump from a height of 2.15 meters was not a sign that he was unsure about the competition, but rather a sign that he was sober and rational enough, and full of ambition for the competition.

In the Chinese players' zone, Zheng Sheng and Liu Qinlong could not help but admire the young men on the field even more after understanding Pei Dingshan's words.

After all, young contestants like Jiang Yuan, once they know that the audience has certain stereotyped expectations for their performance, out of the desire to show off, are often willing to showcase their abilities in this area more prominently.

But Jiang Yuan didn't care about the audience's opinion of him. He just made his own choices in the game based on the most rational and calm thinking.

After figuring this out, Zheng Sheng and Liu Qinlong couldn't help but sigh - so why do so many talented players often have their own unique personality traits? This is because although sports competition is a test of physical fitness, at the same time, whether in training or in competition, athletes are also required to bring their own understanding of the event.

Only players who truly understand what they are doing can achieve heights that others cannot reach.

On the field, not only the men's high jump final was still going on, but parallel to the men's high jump final were the men's 1500m, men's 110m hurdles preliminaries and men's hammer throw qualifying rounds, etc. However, whether on site or in the current stage of the live broadcast on the Internet, the men's high jump final was still the one that received the most attention.

The audience outside the venue did not hear Pei Dingshan's commentary, but Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming, as experienced commentators for many years, also had their own understanding of the players' performance. After thinking about it, the two gave answers similar to Pei Dingshan's.

In the live commentary room of Jigu Video, after following Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming to sort out Jiang Yuan's ideas, track and field fans couldn't help but feel a little excited - they wondered if Jiang Yuan would be able to break through his previous limits and achieve better results in tonight's Asian Championships final, given that he took the game so seriously?

At this time in the men's high jump final, the only one who knew Jiang Yuan well was Zhang Xujian. The rest of the contestants either had never heard of Jiang Yuan's name, or even if they had heard of Jiang Yuan's name, they had never competed with Jiang Yuan and did not understand Jiang Yuan's actual competition style.

Zhang Xujian planned to get to know Jiang Yuan better, including during the past few days in Doha. Since they were in the same project, Zhang Xujian also lived in the same room with Jiang Yuan. However, Jiang Yuan, who used to chat with him in the team, did not communicate with him at all during this stay.

At first, Zhang Xujian didn't understand what was going on, but then one day he suddenly figured it out - Sun Yuhang sometimes has some bad habits when he's under a lot of pressure, and Zhang Xujian guessed that this was probably Jiang Yuan's unique state before the game.

Originally, he was a little worried about whether Jiang Yuan could perform in this condition. Until today's competition officially started, Zhang Xujian saw Jiang Yuan easily clear the bar at heights of 2.15 meters, 2.19 meters, and 2.23 meters, and he knew that Jiang Yuan's condition today was no problem.

At this point in the competition, the height of the horizontal bar has been raised to 2.26 meters.

Prior to this, two more players had been eliminated in the 2.23-meter height stage. Currently, only Kenta Sasaki and Takashi Matsumoto from Japan, he and Jiang Yuan from the Chinese team, Nixon Hashim from Malaysia, and Mohammed Salam from Syria are left in the competition.

Among these six players, the one with the strongest personal best is Mohammed Salam from Syria. This Syrian player once jumped a personal best of 2.36 meters in the 2016 season. Although he failed to break this record in the 2017 and 18 seasons, his strength is undeniable.

In addition to Mohammed Salam, the second strongest person is Zhang Xujian from the Chinese team, who once had a personal best of 2.34 meters.

After the two of them is Kenta Sasaki from the Japanese team, but in this new season, Kenta Sasaki seems to be in very good shape. In tonight's high jump final, Kenta Sasaki is also one of the three players who have maintained a perfect one-time clear rate so far.

In addition to Kenta Sasaki, the other two players who maintain a perfect one-time pass rate are Zhang Xujian and Mohammed Salam.

Yes, just at the height of 2.23 meters, Jiang Yuan made a rare mistake, but this mistake seemed a bit strange to Zhang Xujian, because Jiang Yuan was very calm in the second attempt before and after this time. The failure of this attempt was not so much a failure as it was Jiang Yuan trying something.

On the field, Jiang Yuan did not hide his attempts.

In tonight's game, he has been looking for the feeling of "extreme clearance" - using the most appropriate height and strength to deal with each trial jump.

Because he knew that when he reached a height of about 2.30 meters, his jumping ability might not be enough to allow him to continue to jump high enough to deal with the horizontal bar in front of him.

Therefore, before actually reaching that height, he needs to experience as much as possible the feeling of facing the bar and passing it to the limit - even if this requires sufficient physical strength as a price.

If other people knew about Jiang Yuan's idea, they might be amazed at the madness in the mind of this seemingly calm and composed boy. However, Jiang Yuan knew that when facing higher altitudes, all his opponents on the field were more experienced than him, and he could only achieve his goal through more precise calculations and feelings.

He could still withstand failure at a height of 2.23 meters.

So he was not worried.

If he is unwilling to accept the failure of his attempt at the current height, then after reaching a height of 2.30 meters, the failure he will have to endure will be truly irreversible.

In the Chinese contestant zone seat at the scene, Pei Dingshan couldn't help but nodded after seeing Jiang Yuan's approach, and agreed with Jiang Yuan's smart approach.

And beside him, Zheng Sheng and Liu Qinlong also saw Jiang Yuan's plan.

It’s just that you see it and you are amazed at it.

Before today, they all knew that Jiang Yuan, the young player, had an incredible big heart, but after watching tonight's game, they had a deeper understanding of Jiang Yuan's "big heart".

After all, not all players can make such a "bet" in the Asian Championships final.

Thinking of this, Liu Qinlong couldn't help but sigh: "Our Su Yu and Jiang Yuan... are really smart, courageous, and talented. Hey, Coach Pei, do you think we should consider those with good academic performance when selecting players in the future?"

Zheng Sheng, who was standing next to him, couldn't help laughing when he heard Liu Qinlong's question: "Hey, come on, Jiang Yuan and Su Yu are just exceptions. With their brains, basically, kids with good academic performance can't really catch up with them."

Several people were watching the game on the field and chatting.

On the field, the men's high jump final was getting closer and closer to the end. At a height of 2.26 meters, Jiang Yuan failed again in the first round of attempts, but in the second round of attempts, he successfully crossed the bar again.

It can be seen that with many trial jumps and consecutive failed attempts to clear the bar at two heights of 2.23 meters and 2.26 meters, Jiang Yuan's physical energy has been consumed a lot. But after successfully clearing the bar at a height of 2.26 meters this time, Jiang Yuan showed a rather relaxed smile on his face.

In the live commentary room of Jigu Video, the track and field fans who were watching the game felt a little strange after seeing Jiang Yuan's smile. After all, from their perspective, Jiang Yuan had never failed to clear the pole in previous competitions up to the height of 2.26 meters. But in today's competition, Jiang Yuan failed to clear the pole at two consecutive heights, from 2.23 meters to 2.26 meters...

In such a situation, how could he still smile so easily?

Many track and field fans find this situation a little incomprehensible.

Some track and field fans felt that they had guessed something, but they felt that their guesses were a bit too bold, so they did not dare to directly state their guesses on the public screen.

On the field, at a height of 2.26 meters, Jiang Yuan successfully cleared the bar in his second attempt, but apart from him, Takashi Matsumoto of the Japanese team and Nixon Hashim of Malaysia failed to successfully clear the bar in three attempts and were eventually eliminated at a height of 2.26 meters.

So far, only Mohammed Salam, Kenta Sasaki, Zhang Xujian and Jiang Yuan have successfully jumped over the 2.26-meter bar.

Among the four, Muhammad, Kenta Sasaki and Zhang Xujian have maintained a perfect one-time clear rate so far, and only Jiang Yuan made mistakes in his previous two height test jumps.

At this point in the competition, it seemed that Jiang Yuan had nothing to do with victory or medals in this event, but soon, a reversal occurred at the next horizontal bar height of 2.29 meters!

At the horizontal bar height of 2.29 meters, Muhammad and Kenta Sasaki both made mistakes in their first attempt, but they were not worried about it. After all, their results have been maintained very well so far. In their opinion, the one who should really worry about is the 16-year-old player of the Chinese team.

After all, the young player had made mistakes at both the 2.23-meter and 2.26-meter heights. Although he barely managed to clear the 2.26-meter height, they saw every successful clearing of the two previous bar heights by the young Chinese player - both of his jumps seemed very forced, and it would be better to say that he just got lucky rather than successfully clearing the bar.

In their opinion, the young Chinese player named Jiang Yuan was in very mediocre condition in today's game, and it was basically impossible for him to cross the horizontal bar height of 2.29 meters.

And, just as they were thinking this, in front of the starting line of the high jump run-up area, Jiang Yuan silently opened his eyes as the on-site time limiter counted down, and then took a step to start his trial jump.

One step, two steps, three steps...

His running steps were full of elasticity and rhythm at the beginning, then he quickly accelerated in the middle and then took the last two steps before the horizontal bar. Then his take-off leg slammed on the ground, his arms swung down quickly, and the power of his body quickly helped him rise into the air, and then he completed a nearly perfect posture transition in the air.

Perfect posture in the air.

The height of the jump is perfect.

So, under everyone's almost incredible attention, the young player from the Chinese team, with perfect posture, successfully crossed the 2.29-meter-high horizontal bar, which represented his personal best in history!

At the same time, in the live commentary room of Jigu Video, Tian Ruhui shouted in surprise: "Jiang Yuan! 2.29 meters high! Successfully cleared the bar in one go!!!"
