On the field, the whole place was cheering because of the good results achieved by several teammates in the 110-meter hurdles. Even in the high jump area, the athletes paused for a moment because of the cheers from the audience.
On the Internet, in the live broadcast room of the sports channel, whether it was track and field fans or ordinary audiences who stayed to continue watching the game, they were all excited because of this unexpected result.
Surprise and excitement were intertwined together; at this moment, the only thing that could be seen in the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room was a burst of shouts of "Ah ...
In the live broadcast director's room of the sports channel, there was also a lot of excitement at this moment.
"Quick, quick, quick, cut out all the multi-camera footage of the top three people crossing the finish line one after another, copy and mark them and put them aside as backup footage for a separate news report. Keep the footage of camera No. 5 crossing the finish line separately, and use it as a replay of the highlights later..."
In the director's room, the director in charge of the on-site broadcast was constantly explaining the details of the switching of each lens: "Also keep a copy of the track camera footage beside the track. In addition, now cut to the footage of camera No. 3 and zoom in. Yes, that's right, we want the footage of Lu Mengfan, Cui Luoheng, and Zhao Yankai hugging and celebrating...!"
"Camera No. 2, pan left to capture the close-up of the expressions of the contestants from other countries. Camera No. 7, look for the celebration of the audience..."
Backstage, the staff were switching the live camera images in turn according to the director's requirements. Under the guidance of the director in charge, the hot atmosphere on the scene and the excited emotions of the contestants and the audience were better conveyed to the live broadcast screen. The live broadcast room, which was already bustling, now made the audience's emotions even more intense.
[I won’t say anything more, the Three Musketeers are awesome!] 】
[It’s been many years. This is the first time I see Chinese athletes sweeping the top three places… If we could go back to the Asian Games and send out this lineup, maybe we would sweep not the gold and bronze medals, but three medals! 】
[Let alone, Koichi Komatsu, who was suppressed by Kaizi, is the winner of the Asian Games silver medal! Rounding off, the 110-meter hurdles event truly dominates Asia today! 】
In the staff area of the audience seats, the head coach of the hurdles group, Lu Shengbin, was also present. He knew that the strength of these guys in the hurdles group had improved a lot, but he did not expect that in today's competition, Lu Mengfan and the other three would bring him such a surprise.
Even though there have been waves of surprises since today's competition, this result of taking the top three still makes him feel hard to calm down.
only……
I don’t know if it’s because there are too many surprises today and they are too concentrated, but Lu Shengbin always feels that his mood is much calmer than he expected.
Thinking of this, Lu Shengbin looked at Su Bai's back, who was sitting with Pei Jinan in front of him, with some amusement.
During this winter training, the training plan for the hurdle team, from Lu Mengfan to Zhao Yankai, was led by Su Bai. To be honest, he was the head coach of the hurdle team and was just an executive coach...
Lu Mengfan, Cui Luoheng and Zhao Yankai were able to achieve such results in training, and Su Bai's training plan was indeed indispensable. However... Su Bai was the general manager of the 400-meter project after all. This time Su Bai could provide them with a plan. As the head coach of the hurdles team, he could not put all the training of the team members on the shoulders of the coach of the project team next door...
While feeling the heated atmosphere at the scene, Lu Shengbin was thinking very calmly in his mind that after the competition, he needed to invite Su Bai to give a detailed and in-depth training lecture to the hurdle group on the training plan for the three players.
By then, they may not only be able to learn from Su Bai's advanced experience in training athletes, but also apply this experience to the women's 100-meter hurdles and the men's and women's 400-meter hurdles...
Just as Lu Shengbin was considering these follow-up matters, the final result of the 110-meter hurdles final dominated by the Chinese team was already out!
Li Sen announced the final results of the 110-meter hurdles final: "The final results of the 110-meter hurdles final of the Asian Six Nations Track and Field Joint Competition are: first place, Cui Luoheng (China), 13.31 seconds (wind speed +1.1m/s), second place, Lu Mengfan (China), 13.39 seconds (wind speed 1.1m/s), third place, Zhao Yankai (China) 13.46 seconds (wind speed 1.1m/s), fourth place, Komatsu Koichi (Japan), 13.52 seconds..."
Ever since Li Sen started reading out the contestants' scores, there was cheering almost every time he read out a score. After Li Sen finished reading out the scores of the top three contestants, there was another round of enthusiastic applause from the audience.
In the high jump preparation area, the referee did not allow the next competitor to start preparing because of the announcement of the result.
For the participating high jump athletes, this heated atmosphere at the scene was not something worthy of attention. Only Tomoaki Yamashita from Japan and Abdullah from Qatar frowned slightly, and then quickly regained their composure.
Unlike events like sprinting and hurdles, in high jump competitions, athletes need to calm down and be prepared to clear the bar. Good psychological quality is also a must for high jump athletes.
They often don't need too much cheering from the audience during the game. What they need more is the encouragement from the audience for their victory after they successfully pass the pole.
After the 110-meter hurdlers finally left the field and the audience's cheers faded, the high jump competition continued to move forward.
For an event like high jump, trial jumps below a certain height are usually used by athletes to find their own form and warm up at the same time. Only after reaching a certain height will the high jump competition enter the tense and white-hot stage.
This event is no exception.
This competition basically followed the general rules of high jump in international competitions. The referee will announce the current height of the bar to the participating athletes after each raise of the bar, and the bar will rise by at least 2cm each time.
Athletes can choose whether to skip the current height based on their personal abilities - of course, if they choose to skip the jump and are unable to jump the next height after the bar is raised, they will also not be able to return to the height they have applied for to skip the jump and try again.
The athletes present were all top-notch high jumpers in Asia. In the first round of 2.16-meter trial jumps, no athlete chose to skip the jump for the sake of warming up and gradually adapting to the competition. In this round, except for Kazemi from Iran who failed in two trial jumps, the other athletes cleared the bar in one try.
In the first round of trial jumps, no one was eliminated.
Li Mingzhuo, as the coach of the high jump group, also went to the scene to watch the competition with the team this time. As usual, he looked fierce, with his hands on his chest, sitting in the audience, staring at the high jump competition area, motionless.
As coaches of the national team, other coaches around him have long been accustomed to Li Mingzhuo's fierce look. They all know that he is actually a good person, so they are not afraid of his fierceness.
Wang Lei, the coach of the middle and long distance running group, was sitting next to Li Mingzhuo. He usually had a good relationship with Li Mingzhuo and started chatting with Li Mingzhuo.
"Old Li, you said that today's final battle should be between your two good disciples, right?"
The people Wang Lei was referring to were naturally Ye Wenhao and Wang Shen.
Wang Shen and Ye Wenhao are not much different in age, but Wang Shen became famous at a young age. He has been known as the golden boy of high jump in the country since he was very young. As he grew up, his strength has steadily improved. Although he is only 23 years old now, he is actually a well-known high jump genius.
Ye Wenhao is one year younger than Wang Shen, but compared to Wang Shen, he became famous much later. It was after he was 18 years old that his talent and strength suddenly broke out, so much so that in the end, he even surpassed Wang Shen's PB. Currently, he is closer to the 2.30 meter threshold than Wang Shen.
These two people have the greatest potential among the younger generation in the country. They are well matched and, to be honest, they are good rivals who can promote each other.
However, in the past year or so, for some reason, Ye Wenhao has always been better than Wang Shen, and he always fails to control his condition well in the last trial jump, so he can never achieve the goal of a breakthrough.
When Li Mingzhuo heard Wang Lei's question, he didn't say yes or no. He just looked at the scene. Yamashita Tomoaki of the Japanese team and Abdullah of Qatar had just completed the trial jump easily and smoothly.
After a pause, Li Mingzhuo just said expressionlessly: "It is still unknown who will win."
"Oh, Old Li, you are so pedantic..." Wang Lei smiled and shook his head, then took another look at the prompt on the big screen - the height of the high jump bar has just been raised to 2.20 meters. At least for the two players Ye Wenhao and Wang Shen from the Chinese team, this height is not stressful at all.
Of course, even if the height is not stressful, the players still need to take it seriously. After all, the success rate of clearing the pole will also affect the judgment of the players' final ranking.
On the Internet, in the Track and Field Kingdom Forum
Today's Track and Field Kingdom Forum is like a festival, with the entire forum filled with a joyful atmosphere. There is no way around it; there are simply too many happy events. Even if the people in the forum are not special fans of the 100m, 400m and 110m hurdles, as fans of the entire track and field event, they will all be excited about today's competition.
Subject: [Who would have thought? During the National Championships, I posted a message expressing my concern about Fang Yu's condition, but today he broke his PB in the 100m and broke 10 again? ! 】
Subject: [Although the word "awesome" is very vulgar, I still can't help but praise him. Su Bai is really awesome. At this time last year, who would have thought that the men's and women's 400-meter teams could achieve such results? 】
Subject: [Zhang Shuai leads the men's team, Xiao Qiu and Ah Hao are not to be outdone; Dan Jie leads the women's team, Lin Huan and Lin Yao follow closely behind... I really didn't expect that I could see the day when the domestic 400-meter running event is so prosperous...]
Theme: [The top three in the 110-meter hurdles, the golden age is back! ! ! 】
On the forum's homepage, all you can see are the results and summaries of various events in today's competition. Occasionally, some middle and long distance running enthusiasts would lament that although the 400 meters has risen, the middle and long distance running is still far behind the top level in Asia.
Throughout the entire forum, along with the live broadcast of the finals all day long, the number of online people, activity and discussion participation rate in the forum reached a long-lost height. It can be said that the discussion heat of this competition was higher than that of the previous Asian Games.
As they chatted, someone started talking about the ongoing high jump competition.
Subject: [Anyone want to place a bet? Guess who will win or lose in today’s high jump final between Wang Shen and Ye Wenhao? 】
Topic content: [Wang Shen and Ye Wenhao are two high jump athletes currently being trained by the national team. Their physical conditions are almost the same, both are 192cm tall, with long legs and excellent jumping ability.
Putting this aside, Wang Shen is more delicate in personal skills, while Ye Wenhao is a wild type with more fierce momentum.
There is no doubt that both of them are excellent athletes in the high jump event, but Wang Shen was just a runner-up last year. I wonder who will be better in the first showdown between Wang Shen and Ye Wenhao after more than two months of winter training. Is there anyone who wants to bet?
I guess Ye Wenhao will win today! 】
1l：【？ OP, when I saw your topic post, I thought you were going to bet on Wang Shen to win, but it turned out you bet on Ye Wenhao? Admit it, you are Ye Wenhao, right? 】
3l: [Hahaha, OP, your name sounds familiar. You're a frequent visitor to the high jump section. I saw that you posted quite a few technical analysis articles about Ye Wenhao before. What the big brother on the 1st floor said is right. You're just bragging about Ye Wenhao, right? Oh no, no, Ye Wenhao has a blower like you, so I have to give Wang Shen some support. I bet on Wang Shen to win today! 】
5l: [Haha, brother, don't be like this. I personally appreciate Ye Wenhao's high jumping style, but I bet on Ye Wenhao to win after careful judgment. Over the past year or so, Wang Shen seems to have been trapped by his personal psychological state. A high jumper, when he reaches a relatively extreme height, needs to adjust his mental state for every jump. And careful observation will reveal that over the past year or so, although Wang Shen has been adjusting himself, his success rate will drop significantly after he reaches the relatively extreme height. It is relatively easy to adjust technical issues, but psychological problems may not be so easy to solve. 】
This post started out with speculation about the outcome between Wang Shen and Ye Wenhao, and then gradually turned into a discussion of what kind of psychological problems Wang Shen encountered. The subsequent conversation also touched on the series of public opinion storms caused by the variety show "The Strongest King" before the winter training. For a while, it was quite lively.
After the post had reached over a hundred replies, someone suddenly came to the post and called on everyone to watch the live broadcast.
112l: [Brothers, I’m 2.24 meters tall! 】
The height of 2.20 meters is considered a dividing line for high jump performance in Asia. In the Asian Games, at this height, basically half of the contestants will be eliminated. After reaching this height, the high jump competition will enter a more intense and tense climax stage.
When it comes to the 2.24-meter stage, the competition among the remaining players on the field will become more intense.
This is the situation in the current competition.
On the field, the first player to be eliminated was Kazemi from Iran. Subsequently, Indian players Punia and Bahara, Iranian player Gianichad, Japanese player Shimizu Daihito and others successively ended the competition due to consecutive failed trial jumps.
Now, only Ye Wenhao, Wang Shen, Yamashita Tomoaki, Abdullah, as well as Japan's Nonomura Ryuta, Bahrain's Bekadu, Cheroben and another Qatari player Samba are left on the field.
Among them, only Ye Wenhao, Wang Shen, Yamashita Tomoaki and Abdullah have maintained a one-time success rate.
Among the remaining four players, Ryuta Nonomura failed to clear the bar twice in a row at a height of 2.22 meters. He applied for exemption from the 2.22-meter jump. Now at a height of 2.24 meters, he only has one last jump chance.
Although Bekadu, Cheroben and Samba successfully jumped over a height of 2.22 meters, they all failed in two attempts. In other words, they are at an absolute disadvantage in the subsequent competition with Wang Shen and others, unless they can successfully jump over a height that exceeds the best results of Wang Shen and others.
In the preparation area for the high jumpers, the referee has signaled Ryuta Nonomura to make a trial jump of 2.24 meters - this is also Ryuta Nonomura's last trial jump opportunity at the moment.
Standing at the starting point of the take-off area, Ryuta Nonomura's face looked a little solemn. He put his hands on his hips, looking in the direction of the horizontal bar. Beside him, the time limiter was staring at the timer in his hand, waiting to confirm Ryuta Nonomura's actions.
According to the current number of contestants, he only has 1 minute for the trial jump. The sound of the timer on the side is beeping. Looking at the horizontal bar not far away, Ryuta Nonomura took a deep breath and started an arc run-up from the run-up area of the take-off area. His overall run-up speed and rhythm are well controlled, but in the area close to the horizontal bar, his speed is too depressed in the last two steps of his run-up, causing him to lose the best power conversion. When the take-off leg pushes off the ground and jumps, he ultimately fails to obtain the best vertical extension power.
When Nonomura Ryuta took the last two steps, the contestants sitting in the seats not far away waiting for the competition could already see how hard he was struggling.
Sure enough, when Ryuta Nonomura jumped up and his upper body flew over the bar, his torso had already touched the horizontal bar. As he landed on the cushion in the landing area and quickly turned over, the horizontal bar also fell on the cushion.
Ryuta Nonomura, 2.24 meters high, last attempt at jumping - failed.
With Ryuta Nonomura's defeat, there are only 7 players left in the competition.
Among these seven players, Bekadu and Samba also failed in their first attempt to jump 2.24 meters. Not only them, but also Yamashita Tomoaki, who had always cleared the bar in one try, finally failed in his first attempt at this stage.
As one of the strongest players on the field, Yamashita Tomoaki was very upset that he failed to clear the pole when his opponents had no failure records yet. This meant that when he played against other players, he already had a disadvantage of a failure record. Unless other players also failed to clear the pole, he would face greater pressure in the upcoming height competition!
After Tomoaki Yamashita failed in his first attempt, the referee signaled Qatar's Abdullah to prepare for a try.
Compared to Ryuta Nonomura who had been hesitant due to lack of strength, Abdullah seemed very calm and confident. He waved to the time limiter, then twisted his body easily, and under the gaze of everyone, he quickly started his sprint from the take-off area.
Abdullah's running speed is very fast. From the start to the time he reaches the horizontal bar, if we calculate his average speed in the 100 meters, it can basically reach the speed of a 100-meter athlete of around 11.20 seconds.
The extremely high running speed also brings about the conversion of lateral potential energy into vertical extension potential energy.
With Abdullah's quick run-up, his explosive power in front of the bar has reached an extremely high level. His take-off leg pushes off the ground with great force, giving him the greatest explosive power. This force sends him bouncing up, and his body center of gravity easily bypasses the bar. His body flexes and stretches, forming a perfect arc in the air. While ensuring that his limbs do not touch the bar at all, he lands easily, then flips over and jumps up.
Another perfect pass!
The players present looked at Abdullah's condition, and many of them felt further pressured.
At this point, Ye Wenhao, Wang Shen and Che Robben were the only ones who had not yet completed the first round of trial jumps of 2.24 meters.
Soon, after Abdullah left the landing area, the referee also sent instructions in the direction of Ye Wenhao - Ye Wenhao, first attempt at 2.24 meters!
Before going on stage, Ye Wenhao and Wang Shen looked at each other, then took a deep breath, turned around and came to the front of the take-off area.
The time limiter glanced at Ye Wenhao and then pressed the timer in his hand.
Ye Wenhao turned his head and looked calmly at the horizontal bar in front of him - he was always a rough player and would not do too much unnecessary psychological preparation when jumping.
After taking a deep breath, he quickly started running.
Like Abdullah, his running-up speed was also very fast. In front of the marked area, he took quick steps, using a running-up pace with sufficient elasticity to get himself to the front of the horizontal bar quickly and rhythmically. Then, with the help of the kinetic energy of the previous running-up, he pushed off the ground and jumped up...!
His body quickly moved upwards, his center of gravity passed over the horizontal bar, and his body quickly flexed and stretched, also passing over the horizontal bar...
This would have been a perfect pass, but during the flexion and extension process, he accidentally made a mistake, causing his limbs to touch the horizontal bar. As he fell, the affected horizontal bar also fell off the column...
Ye Wenhao, 2.24 meters, first attempt - failed!
Wang Shen, who was originally sitting in the waiting area, frowned as he watched Ye Wenhao, who turned over after landing with a confused and annoyed look on his face - not good, now Ye Wenhao was at a disadvantage compared to Abdullah.
