2.28 meters, this height is already challenging for Wang Shen, especially after more than two months of high-intensity training. He has also gone through multiple rounds of trial jumps so far today. Now challenging the height of 2.28 meters is already a huge challenge for his condition and physical fitness.
In the trial jumps so far, the success rates of Abdullah and Wang Shen can be said to be exactly the same. However, if Wang Shen cannot achieve the same one-time clearance as Abdullah in this trial jump, then the previous advantage of the Chinese team will be completely invalidated.
When Wang Shen stood at the starting point, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became silent and tense.
In the audience, Li Mingzhuo and Su Bai were observing Wang Shen's situation on the field. This critical moment with the expectations of the whole audience is often the moment when the players are under the most pressure.
Throughout the entire season last year, Wang Shen often showed characteristics that were contrary to his usual stable state at such moments, but what about this time?
Li Mingzhuo thought of what Wang Shen said to him when they were in his office: 'I want to win the championship.'
He frowned as he looked at Wang Shen on the field - if he wanted to win the championship, he must be able to withstand such obstacles!
Su Bai was also looking at Wang Shen on the field. Coincidentally, he also thought of Wang Shen's obsession with winning the championship... Looking at Wang Shen on the field, Su Bai suddenly thought of the hypothesis that Pei Jinan had just told him - pressure.
The situation on the field at this moment is the most stressful moment for the players.
The gold medal of this competition almost depends on Wang Shen's chance of winning this jump.
This is also the best time...the moment when the external environment forces Wang Shen to change his mental state!
Thinking of this, Su Bai's eyes were fixed on Wang Shen's position - at least in this competition, is it possible that there would be a starting point for Wang Shen to change his mentality?
Under the gaze of everyone, Wang Shen frowned slightly. He put his hands on his waist and lowered his head to look at his toes. In the huge stadium, because he was about to start the trial jump, almost no extra sound could be heard.
At a certain moment, everything around him seemed a little empty in Wang Shen's ears.
Everyone around knew how crucial this jump was, and he knew it even better.
Not far away, Abdullah was standing aside with his arms folded, quietly observing and waiting for the result of Wang Shen's jump. He was also afraid of Wang Shen.
Ye Wenhao was also a little upset because of the failure of the first jump. This time, the upset was not because of anything else, but because his failure made Abdullah's advantage more stable, and the pressure on Wang Shen became greater.
At this point in the competition, almost everyone's thoughts were revolving around Wang Shen, anticipation, nervousness, worry, resistance... At this moment, Wang Shen had the illusion that he had accepted all the emotions around him.
He could feel his tense nerves, and he instinctively told himself that the more critical the moment, the calmer he had to be. But when this thought came to his mind, he remembered that this was actually the psychological problem that he and Su Bai had been discussing how to relieve and relax.
In the brief flash of his mind, Wang Shen had not yet let go of everything he had originally thought in his mind. In his heart, the flame called "desire to win" that he had originally suppressed rose up again.
As he was thinking about it, he suddenly realized clearly that he wanted to calm himself down and relax as much as possible. The basis of all this was because he wanted to win.
Why should he be cautious if he can't win?
If it wasn't for the sake of winning, why would he bear so much psychological burden?
All the problems in his mind...are caused by his desire to win, he wants to be victorious! Whether it was for his grandfather's expectations of him, or for the primitive desire for victory that burst forth from deep within his heart.
Wang Shen's eyes were fixed on the horizontal bar in front of him. After the referee confirmed with him whether he wanted to make this trial jump, he nodded in agreement.
As he nodded, the referee began to signal the timekeeper to prepare to start counting.
The ticking of the timer sounded nearby, and in the quiet environment, the sound was particularly clear.
Wang Shen listened to the sound of the timer. With each passing second, the passion and anticipation in his heart became more active.
victory……!
He wants to win!
Only by crossing the horizontal bar in front of him will he have the opportunity to challenge the final victory crown!
In the audience seats, a data prompt suddenly appeared in Su Bai’s system—Wang Shen’s psychological desire value was skyrocketing!
When seeing this number, a thought flashed through Su Bai's mind: There is hope for this game!
As this thought flashed through Su Bai's mind, Wang Shen started from the starting point of the running area on the field! His speed is still not the fastest, but his speed is enough to convert into his longitudinal driving force.
When Wang Shen's run-up turned from the straight line, his body's center of gravity had already sunk. In the last two steps, his ankle joints exploded with strength. When he reached the final take-off board, his arms had already swung backwards forcefully, forming the final backward force to assist him upward. When his take-off partner stepped onto the take-off board and pushed off the ground, the strong force that exploded was accompanied by the lateral momentum that had been formed before and the backward force of his arms...
At the same time, these forces explode into an upward force because of the jumping leg pushing off the ground!
Under the influence of this force, Wang Shen's body's bouncing power has been fully prepared. With all the strength he had previously accumulated, his body quickly rushed upward and flew into the air...!
At the moment he soared into the air, Wang Shen felt that his mind was clearer than ever before. After he soared into the air, he used the accumulated strength to spin, rise, stretch his body, and lean back...
Every link seemed to have been engraved in his body. He exerted force on his shoulders, driving his waist and hips to move forward. His slender body drew a clear and perfect arc in the air. As every part of his body successfully crossed the horizontal bar, his shoulder landed first and while making contact with the cushioning pad, he used the strength that had not yet been fully consumed to quickly flip backwards on the mat and easily stood up from the mat.
The horizontal bar on the pillar remained firmly at the top, and Wang Shen was already standing on the other end of the bar.
In the commentary booth, Shao Minyi and Li Sen both shouted excitedly: "Wang Shen!!! 2.28 meters high, perfect one-shot pass!!!"
In the live broadcast room and in the audience seats, the atmosphere, which had been particularly solemn because Wang Shen was about to clear the pole, suddenly relaxed at this moment, and everything became so exciting and natural.
[Oh oh oh!] Well done, Lao Wang! ! ! 】
[Alas, Wang Shen’s condition was not the best last year, but his condition in this competition was great! Too steady, Lao Wang! 】
In the audience, Li Mingzhuo's ferocious-looking face also revealed a satisfied smile.
In the preparation area, Abdullah's face finally became solemn, while Ye Wenhao breathed a sigh of relief. When Wang Shen walked back to the preparation area, Ye Wenhao smiled and hugged Wang Shen tightly.
At this stage, the championship is basically a battle between Abdullah and Wang Shen, and what Ye Wenhao has to do is compete with Yamashita Akechi for the third place.
In the second round of attempts at 2.28 meters, Yamashita Tomoaki still failed, but Ye Wenhao successfully cleared the bar. In the third round of attempts, Yamashita Tomoaki applied for a waiver. He was ready to use his last chance to directly challenge the height of 2.30 meters - if he could succeed, perhaps he would be able to make a comeback and become the champion.
Unfortunately, after the horizontal bar was raised to a height of 2.30 meters, Tomoaki Yamashita, who tried the first jump, still failed. Since he did not have a successful jump at a height of 2.28 meters, his final result was fixed at 2.26 meters.
The second person to attempt the 2.30m jump was Abdullah. He was very cautious about the height of 2.30m, but his jump still failed.
Until Wang Shen came on stage, the previous three 2.30m challengers had all failed. For Wang Shen, 2.30m was a height he had never reached.
As long as he clears this height, his world ranking will jump into the top 20. At the same time, this height can basically secure his final victory in this game.
In fact, at this stage, whether it was Wang Shen, Abdullah or Ye Wenhao, most of their physical energy had been consumed, especially Ye Wenhao, who had a lower rate of clearing the bar in one go. He had more trial jumps and consumed more physical energy.
Challenging to refresh pb in this state is originally an extremely difficult task.
Once again, whether at the scene or in front of the live broadcast, everyone's attention was once again focused on Wang Shen.
Looking at the horizontal bar in front of him, Wang Shen closed his eyes. He heard a desire for victory from the sound of his pounding heartbeat - he wanted to win, he must win!
And can he win?
This jump before his eyes is the most critical decision he has to make!
With this belief, Wang Shen once again took a running start, swung back to gain momentum... and jumped into the air!
Can it succeed? !
Almost all the spectators who were watching the game focused their attention on Wang Shen, and everyone's heart beat with his jump.
Wang Shen was seen rotating and leaning back after jumping into the air. His body was very close to the horizontal bar, but his body was moving and flexing. As everyone watched with great concern... he almost rubbed the horizontal bar and drew a curve without touching it!
The moment he landed and stood up again, everyone at the scene, in the live broadcast room...all the applause and cheers were focused on him!
Wang Shen, 2.30m first round jump, success! ! !
Bathed in everyone's applause and amid everyone's excited gaze, Wang Shen was in a trance for a moment, and then a smile finally broke out on his face, and he waved to everyone present.
Success...
Wang Shen took a deep breath silently, and then said softly to himself and his deceased grandfather in his heart: Grandpa, I succeeded.
