Sports festivals are very similar to sports meets.
However, compared to ordinary sports meets, the sports festival also features many interesting sports events.
For example, there are costume races, obstacle races, stick pushing, horse riding battles, and so on.
After taking a short break following her first-place finish in the track and field competition, Ayumi Otosaka prepared to compete in the high jump.
Compared to track and field events, high jump is a more technically demanding competition.
The technique of the approach run is extremely important.
The technique for the approach run can be divided into two main points.
The first is the straight-line approach technique.
Similar to running techniques on a short distance, the body's center of gravity is high and stable while running, with the upper body leaning forward appropriately.
The back leg should push off fully and powerfully, the front leg should be lifted actively, and the arms should be coordinated to swing in a large range.
The second is the curved approach run technique.
Gradually tilt your body inward from the outside, increasing the swing amplitude of your outer thighs and arms, while keeping your head and torso in a straight line tilting inward.
The entire approach run should have a clear acceleration and a strong sense of rhythm, especially the last few steps which should gradually speed up, reaching its fastest point in the final step.
Compared to the first approach technique, Otosaka Souji felt that the second approach technique was more technically advanced.
Because when you run up in an arc, you can jump at a certain angle, which allows you to jump higher.
The curved approach run combined with the Fosbury Flop high jump feels like the most effective high jump technique.
However, combining these two points requires a certain amount of practice.
Of course, a good foundation is a big part, but another part is talent and jumping ability.
Even with good technique, if you lack talent and jumping ability, you may not necessarily achieve good results.
Fortunately, Ayumi Otosaka passed both tests.
The match begins.
Otosaka Ayumi left some space for the journey.
The plan is to use an arc-shaped approach run combined with the Fosbury Flop technique for the high jump.
Accelerate, accelerate, tilt inward at a certain angle.
Accelerate to maximum speed during the final jump.
Then, he turned his body, facing away from the railing, and jumped upwards.
Ayumi Otosaka did not complete a perfect high jump.
The current record for jumping is held by Ayumi Otosaka, who is 1.63 meters tall.
This record is already quite impressive.
However, we're still a bit short of winning the championship.
There are some really talented people in Ayumi Otosaka's school.
For example, one girl jumped higher than Ayumi Otosaka.
On his first jump, he chose a height of 1.65 meters and successfully jumped over it.
This girl is indeed very cute.
With her long, flaxen hair, graceful demeanor, and excellent athletic ability, she can be described as a beautiful girl.
After seeing her, Otosaka Souji thought to himself that she could be described as a beauty.
After the flaxen-haired beauty jumped, a friend next to her celebrated.
"Well done, Umaru!"
Umaru-chan!
Why does that sound so familiar?
Upon hearing the name Umaru, Otosaka Souji suddenly remembered something.
Otosaka Souji looked at the flaxen-haired beauty on the stage again and suddenly felt that she looked strangely familiar.
"Could she be..."
Otosaka Souji didn't say the next sentence aloud; he just thought it out silently in his mind.
"Himouto! Umaru-chan!"
The more Otosaka Souji thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
Himouto! Umaru-chan, whose real name is Doma Umaru.
She has a gentle and generous personality, is intelligent, but is also quite lazy and obsessed with anime, comics, and games (ACG). She is Doma Taihei's younger sister.
However, don't be fooled by her appearance.
To the outside world, Doma Umaru is a perfect beautiful girl.
At home, she transforms into a lazy, sassy girl who wears hamster-shaped pajamas and is always surrounded by snacks.
She relies on her older brother while finding pleasure in bullying him.
Thinking about this, Otosaka Souji suddenly realized something unusual.
When Doma returns home, he transforms into a chibi-style character wearing hamster-shaped pajamas.
Perhaps this is also a kind of superpower.
Superpowers related to transformation!
This possibility might actually exist.
"Should we also bring Doma Umaru into Hoshinokai Academy?"
Otosaka Souji stroked his chin and began to ponder.
On the sports field, a brown-haired, naturally naive girl shyly ran over to high-five Umaru Doma in celebration.
This girl is also very cute, but compared to Umaru Doma, she has another advantage, which is that she is big.
Her short, wine-red hair reached only to her neck, with two braids just past her shoulders, and she wore a red and white shrimp-shaped hair accessory.
The color of her eyes is the same as the color of her hair.
A white shirt, a red bow tie, and a red skirt.
Wearing a red short-sleeved shirt with red stripes.
And she has huge breasts.
"Xiao Mai, congratulations on getting first place again."
"Haha, the competition is not yet in its final stage, so we can't be careless."
Doma Umaru twirled the hair behind her head and said happily.
The girl with burgundy hair is named Ebina Nana.
Ebina Nana and Doma Umaru are very close friends.
The current high jump champion is Umaru Doma, with a jump of 1.65 meters.
The second place went to Ayumi Otosaka, who is 1.63 meters tall.
"Alright, let's begin the second round of high jump."
"It was announced by a physical education teacher who was taking notes."
Ayumi Otosaka did not realize that she was not number one, nor was she discouraged.
And silently cheered himself on in his heart.
"Go for it, Buwei! Believe in yourself, you can win!"
Then, Ayumi Otosaka looked at Umaru Doma with a gaze full of fighting spirit.
"Please welcome the first contestant, Ayumi Otosaka, who has not yet entered the arena."
When she heard that it was her turn, Ayumi Otosaka took a deep breath.
Then I started preparing for the high jump.
This time, Ayumi Otosaka directly adjusted the height of the railing to 1.68 meters.
This height is 3 centimeters higher than the first place winner, Doma Uma, who is 1.65 meters tall.
Ayumi Otosaka did not use the same method as she did for her first high jump.
Curved approach run combined with Fosbury Flop high jump.
This time, Ayumi Otosaka was in great form.
With a powerful jump, Ayumi Otosaka, her back to the ground, resembled a fairy dancing gracefully in the high sky.
As expected, Ayumi Otosaka did not jump over.
This put pressure on Tsuchima Umaru.
Seeing that his first place had been taken by someone else, Doma Umaru's competitive spirit was also ignited.
When it was Doma Umaru's turn to appear, she adjusted her height to 1.69 meters.
Although she is only one centimeter taller than Ayumi Otosaka, who is 1.68 meters tall.
But it is also a challenging and difficult height to reach.
However, it will not give up so easily if it can be buried in the ground.
After all, when she's out in the world, Doma Umaru has to maintain her image as a perfect beautiful girl.
If you want to become the perfect beautiful girl, you definitely can't be bad at sports.
Therefore, achieving first place is essential for Tsuchi-ma-mumi.
