Chapter 40 (Three in One)
At this time, in the meeting room of the S Province Sports Team, Pei Dingshan got up and temporarily left the meeting room after receiving a call.
Pei Dingshan smiled slightly: "Uncle, what do you think?"
Pei Yongsheng on the other end of the phone was silent for two seconds, then complained: "If you really only want him to run 100 meters, then your Lyles College certification will be in vain!"
Pei Dingshan listened to the complaints from the other end of the phone with a faint smile, then he put away his smile and said seriously: "Su Yu's real comfort zone is definitely not just 100 meters, but not now, but in the future."
In the office of the national track and field team, Pei Yongsheng heard his nephew's answer and his brows just relaxed but then wrinkled again: "What do you mean?"
Pei Dingshan: "Su Yu's physical condition has been very poor since he was young. When I first found him in the summer camp, he couldn't even complete the low-intensity warm-up exercises normally."
Pei Yongsheng's brows were tightly knitted while listening to Pei Dingshan's introduction. If this was the case, if Su Yu's physical condition was really not suitable, he believed that his nephew would definitely not take a fancy to Su Yu or even recommend him to him, so he did not speak, but continued to listen to Pei Dingshan's introduction.
Sure enough, Pei Dingshan on the other end of the phone continued slowly: "Su Yu's body has an unparalleled ability to recover. As long as it is within the range his body can bear, his body can quickly adjust and recover. According to the data model I have established, his body's self-recovery speed is about 2-3 times that of excellent players."
Don't underestimate this 2-3 times value. It means that after a preliminary match, if a player with strong recovery ability needs 30 minutes to recover 80% of his physical strength, then Su Yu's self-recovery time can be shortened to 10-15 minutes.
In top events such as the World Championships and the Olympics, the interval between the semifinals and finals of the 100m race has now usually been shortened to about 1 hour. Due to the insufficient recovery time between the semifinals and the finals, many athletes, after sprinting all out to advance to the finals, often find it difficult to give a better performance in the finals due to their own physical recovery.
And if these players could have the same self-recovery ability as Su Yu, their results would surely be even better.
At the same time, Su Yu's body's self-recovery ability can be applied not only in the semi-finals and finals of individual events, but also in multiple events - faster body recovery and adaptability matched with his always stubborn and strong desire to win, which almost represents a strong man who never stops on the road of fighting.
For ordinary players, after a competition, they may need to train for about a month to adjust their condition, but Su Yu does not need that.
Pei Yongsheng on the other end of the phone obviously also understood the unfinished meaning of Pei Dingshan's words.
It can be said that the qualities that Su Yu possesses may not be something that every player must possess, but when a player with top talent possesses these qualities at the same time, it means that this will be a player who has the opportunity to sprint to a higher level.
Even though Pei Yongsheng was used to seeing good seedlings, his breathing became a little hasty. After taking a deep breath, he asked Pei Dingshan on the other end of the phone: "Are you sure?"
Pei Dingshan said in an extremely confident voice: "I am sure."
Pei Yongsheng couldn't sit still after hearing his nephew's affirmative voice on the other end of the phone. He stood up and walked outside the office, pacing back and forth and asking, "What direction do you think this kid will go in the future?"
Pei Dingshan's voice came calmly: "Within 10 seconds."
Pei Yongsheng knew his nephew very well. Pei Dingshan never boasted, but his words meant that he was at least 80% to 90% sure of Su Yu's future performance.
Pei Yongsheng asked: "You said this kid was discovered during the summer camp? Then when did he actually train...?"
Pei Dingshan: “Less than 3 months.”
Pei Yongsheng took a breath after hearing this and asked, "Do you have a physical test report for this child? Submit a copy to me. I'll give it to the experts in the research team to discuss and see if there are any suggestions for improving his physical fitness."
Pei Dingshan did not object: "Yes, including Su Yu's skeletal muscle characteristics test, maximum oxygen uptake capacity test, hemoglobin, hematocrit, muscle fiber type, etc. I have taken him to do relevant physical examinations in Province S. The specific content has been formed into a report, which will be submitted to the national team later."
Pei Dingshan paused and said, "In addition, Su Yu's special physical condition requires special training guidance. It is not suitable for him to adopt a general training plan, so I will apply to be his accompanying coach and accompany him to the Olympic Reserve Talent Training Base for training. If possible, I also hope that the national team's nutritionist can formulate a nutritional diet that better meets Su Yu's physical test report."
Pei Yongsheng listened to his nephew's needs and finally smiled: "Good boy, are you waiting for me here?"
He was still wondering why his nephew, who had originally agreed to stay in the provincial team for a period of time, suddenly pushed two good seedlings, Su Yu and Jiang Yuan, to him. Now it seems that it was mainly because Su Yu was selected for the winter training quota of the Olympic Reserve Talent Training Base - his nephew was afraid that the coach at the Olympic training base did not understand Su Yu's situation and would instead teach him bad things.
Thinking of this, Pei Yongsheng smiled and said, "Boy, are you very interested in this Su Yu?"
Pei Dingshan did not deny it, but asked: "If you, uncle, personally discovered such an uncut treasure, would you feel comfortable handing it over to someone else?"
Pei Yongsheng thought about it and said decisively: "That's impossible! Whoever wants to snatch people from me, I will break his legs!"
After cursing, Pei Yongsheng shook his head and asked with a smile: "It's easy to talk to the entourage and nutritionists at the Olympic Training Base, but do you have any ideas about Su Yu's future dual-event direction?"
Pei Dingshan thought for a moment and said, "What is certain is that compared to 100 meters, the distance of 200 meters will be more suitable for Su Yu's peak speed model, but whether there are other directions and where the other directions are will depend on the specific tests and performance after Su Yu's body recovers further."
Pei Yongsheng raised his eyebrows while listening to the words on the other end of the phone: "Another dual-discipline direction? Good fellow, you are really ambitious!"
Generally speaking, ordinary athletes only need to compete in two events. It's not that there are athletes who compete in three events in the same competition, but competing in three events will cause physical problems for athletes with better physical conditions, not to mention Su Yu, a child who already has physical problems.
Pei Dingshan listened to his uncle's teasing and said calmly: "It still depends on Su Yu's future physical recovery."
***
During the time when Pei Yongsheng and Pei Dingshan were talking on the phone, whether it was the Grand Prix competition site at the S Province Sports Center Stadium or the Track and Field Kingdom Forum on the Internet, there were still a large number of people in an extremely excited mood.
In the audience, the students from No. 12 Middle School were still cheering and screaming.
"Wow, a national u18 record?! Ahhh, it's a national u18 record!!"
Zhong Wen and the students in Class 1, Grade 2 were almost ready to set off fireworks and salutes. They all wanted to hang up lights and decorations immediately to announce their school god to the world.
"I told you! Our academic god is the best! Not only is his academic performance great, his sprint performance is even better!"
"Of course! Our God of Learning's academic performance is currently only first among our twelve classes, but today's 100-meter result is the best in the country for those under 18 years old!"
"That's right! I looked up some information before coming to watch the game today. Ye Minghao, who is in the same group with Xue Shen today, has previously broken the national record for the U16 age group, but today our Xue Shen swept the U18 age group!"
These students from No. 12 Middle School were almost boasting like their academic gods. Some of them were even screaming while video chatting with their friends, boasting that they had witnessed the birth of a new national record today!
In fact, it’s not just the students from No. 12 Middle School. For example, Wang Yangming, who was sitting behind Zhong Wen, was wearing a mask of pain and looking very excited at the same time.
There was no way. The Mask of Pain was because Su Yu's result directly took away one-third of his kidney, and he was excited... As a track and field fan, how could he not be excited when he witnessed the birth of a super genius with his own eyes? !
"14 years old refresh nu18b!"
"10.41 seconds... Su Yu's result is only 0.02 seconds away from Zhao Yingping's personal best in history, right?"
Thinking of this, Wang Yangming couldn't help but ask the track and field fans around him: "With Su Yu's result of 10.41 seconds, he should be ranked in the top 20 among the current athletes, right?"
In fact, there are more than just the top 20.
Judging from the current situation of China's 100m runners, Gao Tianwu with a PB of 10.27 is enough to rank among the top five in the country. And nationwide, among the active athletes, the total number of athletes who have broken the 10.40 mark is actually no more than 15. In other words, if we only look at Su Yu's result of 10.41, he not only broke the national u18 100m record in one fell swoop, but also directly broke into the top 20 active 100m athletes in the country.
Only track and field fans and insiders who know these specific circumstances can understand what an amazing achievement this is.
Looking at Su Yu who was about to leave the competition, Wang Yangming couldn't help asking: "You said that Su Yu has broken the nu18b record at the age of 14. Does he have a chance to challenge the AU18B (intercontinental u18 record) before he turns 18?"
At the same time, someone asked the same question in the sprint section of the Track and Field Kingdom Forum.
Theme: [Su Yu - the 14-year-old NU18B record maker is born! Will he have a chance to challenge AU18B's record in the next three years? 】
Content: [I just watched the 100m final of the National Track and Field Grand Prix S City. Gao Tianwu's performance was average, but I didn't expect that the performance of 14-year-old Su Yu amazed the audience! ! ! 14-year-old’s 10.41 seconds, a new record for nu18b was born at the age of 14. I would like to ask, with Su Yu’s current result, does he have a chance to challenge AU18B? 】
But unfortunately, this topic post suffered a heavy blow on the first floor as soon as it was posted.
1st Floor: […Although I am also very excited by Su Yu’s result and performance, I have to remind the poster that the current AU18B in Asia is actually WU18B (the world’s u18 best result). This record was set by the Japanese star Ippei Suzuki in 2012, and his result at that time was 10.19 seconds. 】
Obviously, the author of this post does not usually pay attention to youth competitions and records. When he saw this set of data on the first post, he remained silent.
3rd floor (Original poster): [10.19 seconds? ! Was it created by a Japanese player? ! 】
5F: [Yes, it was created by a Japanese player. An incredible result, but it is true...]
The reason why it is incredible is that the results achieved by this 17-year-old athlete have surpassed the results of most of the current 100-meter athletes in China. It can be said that even the personal best result of Gao Tianwu, the 100-meter champion of today's National Track and Field Grand Prix S City Station, cannot be compared with that of this Japanese teenager named Suzuki Ippei.
Based on this result alone, currently only the top three athletes in China can achieve comparable results.
8th floor: [Although I don't want to admit it, when comparing the 100-meter results of China and Japan, although my country is slightly better in terms of top athletes, Japan is better than China in terms of average 100-meter strength and reserve talent reserves.
For example, in the 100-meter NU16B and NU18B results, Japan has achieved very outstanding results, but in China, Ye Minghao just recently broke the NU16B record from ten years ago, and the NU18B broken by Su Yu today has also been maintained for more than ten years.
Of course, on the positive side, Ye Minghao and Su Yu's record-breaking performances show that our country's young reserve talents have made great progress compared with the past. However, we must also realize that there is still a big gap between China's current records for young athletes and world-class records.
I personally very much look forward to Su Yu continuing to refresh our country's NU18B in the next three years, but whether Su Yu will have the opportunity to refresh the WU18B created by Ippei Suzuki, I can only say... rational expectations. 】
After this reply came out, this discussion thread, which originally carried a lot of expectations, gradually sank. It's not that the track and field fans in the forum don't expect Su Yu to set a new record, but as the owner of this thread said, it's a rational expectation.
Before actually seeing this building, many people thought that the best results in the world for players under 18 years old should be created by players from European and American countries such as the United States. So everyone initially thought that with Su Yu's current results, he should have hope of challenging the best Asian U18 results in the next three years.
In everyone's opinion, this record should be around 10.30 seconds - since the 14-year-old Su Yu can run 10.41 seconds, he should have a chance to successfully challenge 10.30 seconds within the next three years.
But no one expected that the originally envisioned AU18B would be directly equated with WU18B, and the creator was actually a player from Japan.
Due to some special historical reasons, for Chinese track and field fans, losing to anyone is tolerable, but losing to Japan and South Korea is particularly unbearable. So after a short period of excitement, many people simply focused their attention on NU18B, subconsciously forgetting their expectations for the continental record.
***
At this moment, the audience was still immersed in the simple excitement about Su Yu's performance. The principal of No. 12 Middle School and the grade director Chen Sheng, who were also watching the game on site, had their brains as hot as a pot of boiling water.
"A national record... is it really a national record?!"
Principal Lin and Chen Sheng still remember that when the provincial sports team came to their school to recruit players, Su Yu's training coach Pei Dingshan said at the very beginning, "Su Yu's name will be on the national record." At that time, they were thinking that Pei Dingshan was bragging without thinking, but based on Pei Dingshan's authority, they were also skeptical.
Who knows how much time has passed?
The national record that Pei Dingshan mentioned was actually achieved!
And it’s not just the national record for the U16 age group, but it spans the records for U16 and U18!
It was only until this moment that Principal Lin couldn't help but sigh: "...Fortunately, we didn't stop the provincial sports team at that time."
Chen Sheng glanced at Principal Lin, nodded, and said, "Who said it wasn't true?"
As he was talking, Chen Sheng suddenly noticed that a group of new players had entered the arena. He took a closer look and saw that one of them was Jiang Yuan, another student from their school. He immediately perked up and said to Principal Lin beside him: "Principal Lin, Jiang Yuan is on the field! You say... Su Yu has broken the national U18 record for the 100-meter sprint, so does Jiang Yuan have a chance...?"
As soon as these words came out, Principal Lin was also excited: "Watch the game! Focus on watching the game! Oh, by the way, send a message to our school's teacher group, asking all teachers who are free to watch the game, especially the teachers in charge of school news - after today's game is over, our school must also quickly issue a press release!"
***
In the audience, it was not only Principal Lin and Chen Sheng who noticed Jiang Yuan's appearance, because when Wang Yangming bought tickets for Zhong Wen and others, he specifically asked about the events that Jiang Yuan and Su Yu would compete in. Therefore, when buying tickets, he specifically chose this stand area that was more suitable for watching the 100-meter and men's high jump.
At this moment, as the men's high jump finalists appeared on the stage, Zhong Wen and other students from No. 12 Middle School had also turned their attention to Jiang Yuan's performance.
"Ohhh! It's Jiang Yuan who's on stage!!"
"Come on Jiang Yuan, come on Jiang Yuan!!!"
"Student master, let's try to win another card!"
With the men's long jump and men's 100-meter events winning medals and even setting records in two consecutive events, the students from No. 12 Middle School on the field became noticeably more "arrogant".
After all, among these three events, Jiang Yuan's high jump had the highest chance of winning a medal!
As the top-ranked player in the qualifying round, Jiang Yuan was naturally scheduled to be the last to appear in tonight's men's high jump final.
In the Jigu live broadcast room, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming were also introducing the situation of the high jump finals -
Tian Ruhui: "Perhaps some viewers have just opened the live broadcast room to watch the National Track and Field Grand Prix S City Division. The men's 100m final has just ended. The 14-year-old athlete from the S Province Sports Team set a new NU18B record of 10.41 seconds in the men's 100m final."
"Yes." Zhou Jiming continued, "Now we are broadcasting the men's high jump finals that are about to begin. In this final, there is also a talented young athlete who is only 14 years old. This athlete, Jiang Yuan, who is from the S Province Sports Team, like Su Yu, won the first place in the men's high jump qualifying competition with four consecutive one-time clearances in the morning's high jump qualifying competition. At the same time, in the men's long jump final earlier, Jiang Yuan broke his personal long jump PB with a score of 7.91 meters. He also relied on this one jump in the long jump final to defeat many opponents and won the runner-up in the men's long jump event."
After talking about Jiang Yuan's series of achievements, Zhou Jiming couldn't help but sigh: "In the long jump final just now, Teacher Tian and I both speculated that Jiang Yuan chose to skip the next five jumps after the first attempt in order to maintain his physical fitness and ensure that he could achieve better results in the men's high jump event. Now, the men's high jump final is about to begin. I wonder if Jiang Yuan can bring us more surprises in the final?"
Tian Ruhui: "Let's wait and see!"
***
In the backcourt lounge of the S Province Sports Team, Su Yu, who had returned to the lounge, was receiving a muscle relaxation massage from the S Province Sports Team's massage teacher. But before the massage began, he specifically asked the masseur for his opinion, took out his mobile phone, and opened the Jigu Live interface - at this moment, the live broadcast interface was showing the men's high jump final that was about to begin.
While giving Su Yu a relaxing massage, the masseur also watched the opening of the men's high jump final and said with a smile, "Are you watching Xiao Yuan's competition?"
Su Yu nodded silently.
The masseur smiled and said, "You two have a really good relationship, like brothers."
Su Yu did not refute, but just responded with a sullen "hmm".
The masseur was right. Jiang Yuan had taken good care of him since he was a child. Therefore, after realizing that Jiang Yuan had rejected Coach Liu Wenjian's invitation perhaps to take care of him, Su Yu had always felt upset about it. Until this rebirth, with his choice, Jiang Yuan's life trajectory had also changed...
Su Yu would not regret changing his life trajectory, as it was his own choice. But facing Jiang Yuan, whose life trajectory had also been changed, Su Yu had privately asked him many times...
"Brother, do you really want to go this way?"
Jiang Yuan's answer was always to touch his head with a smile and say "yes".
Although it has been confirmed countless times, Su Yu still wants to confirm it once again with his own eyes - to confirm that Jiang Yuan really has his own expectations and desires for long jump and high jump, and not out of responsibility.
The masseur took a look at Jiang Yuan sitting in the rest area in Su Yu's live broadcast on his mobile phone, and said with a smile: "This little Yuan, it's already the finals, how come he still looks so calm?"
However, Su Yu blinked his eyes after seeing Jiang Yuan flash by on the live broadcast screen, and his original hidden worry turned into an expectant look - years of tacit understanding allowed him to recognize that Jiang Yuan, who was sitting in the rest area, was also particularly excited and expectant about the upcoming finals.
***
At this time in the high jump final, a total of 13 finalists have taken their positions, and the first 6 contestants have completed their first trial jump at a height of 2.00 meters.
Someone noticed that Jiang Yuan had not taken off his coat to warm up, and kindly reminded him, "It's time to warm up."
Jiang Yuan smiled at the player who reminded him and said "thank you" sincerely, but after thanking him, he still sat on the bench in the rest area with a faint smile, and had no intention of taking off his coat to warm up.
At this time, the player who reminded Jiang Yuan finally realized something. The expression on his face changed. He looked at Jiang Yuan with a look of surprise and doubt, then took a deep breath and focused his attention on his own warm-up preparations.
At the scene, it was obviously not only this player who noticed that Jiang Yuan had not started warming up yet.
In the audience, the students of No. 12 Middle School were also a little confused: "Hey, look at the top student, why is he still sitting still?"
Zhong Wen also felt something was wrong, so he turned around and asked his brother: "Brother, why is Jiang Yuan sitting still?"
At this moment, Wang Yangming, who felt that he had lost two-thirds of his kidneys, and even the last third, sighed: "Yeah, tell me, why is he still sitting there?"
Zhong Wen:? ? ?
Wang Yangming looked at his cousin who had cut off his head and was about to cut off his kidney with a resentful look, and said sadly: "Of course it's because Jiang Yuan wanted to conserve his energy and avoid jumping 2 meters high..."
“Huh?!”
When Zhong Wen heard this explanation, he immediately understood it, so he turned around and explained Jiang Yuan's idea to his classmates and other classes.
In fact, at this moment, many track and field fans present also mentioned this point -
"This is incredible. Jiang Yuan, he doesn't even need to jump from a height of 2 meters?"
But some people were skeptical: "Even an adult athlete may not be able to avoid mistakes at a height of 2 meters. Jiang Yuan is only 14 years old. Isn't he a little too confident at this age?"
However, as soon as this question was raised, someone immediately refuted: "Did you watch the qualifying competition this morning? From 2 meters to 2.15 meters, all four heights were cleared at once. If you want to save energy to fight for a medal, it is reasonable to choose to apply for a waiver for the 2-meter height, right?"
At the same time, some players on the field also paid attention to Jiang Yuan's performance.
The player who paid attention to Jiang Yuan's performance is also a very talented young player - Zeng Shaowen, a 19-year-old young player from Province Z.
Although Zeng Shaowen is young, he is already a very competitive athlete. His personal best of 2.29 meters has allowed him to win a gold medal in the previous National Track and Field Grand Prix. He is also known as the best successor to Sun Yuhang and has great hope of being included in the high jump group of the national track and field team next year.
At this time, in the track and field live broadcast room of Jigu Live, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming were also introducing Zeng Shaowen's situation.
Zhou Jiming said: "Zeng Shaowen is indeed a very competitive player. Of course, so far, Zeng Shaowen's personal flaws are also very obvious - in many competitions this season, Zeng Shaowen's upper limit is very high, and the lower limit is also very low..."
In simple terms, Zeng Shaowen dares to win against anyone when facing a strong enemy, but often loses to anyone when facing a weak opponent.
In this season, he did win the gold medal in a race with a score of 2.29 meters, but at the same time, Zeng Shaowen was eliminated in the qualifying stage of another race with a score of 2.05 meters.
Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming have also discussed Zeng Shaowen's performance. Both of them believe that the biggest obstacle for Zeng Shaowen to enter the national team at present is probably his personal instability.
“I don’t know how Zeng Shaowen is doing in today’s game. I hope he can perform well. After all, for a professional player, the upper limit of personal ability is important, but the stability of personal ability is also very important!”
As Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming were talking, it was almost the turn of Zeng Shaowen, who was third from the bottom. However, they saw Zeng Shaowen request a jump exemption from the referee.
Tian Ruhui:? ? ?
Zhou Jiming:? ? ?
What's going on?
As for the players on the field now, Jiang Yuan and the others had seen early on that this kid was planning to skip the first jump, so he had been sitting there steadily without moving.
But Zeng Shaowen is not like that!
In the live broadcast just now, they all saw Zeng Shaowen warming up in the live switching footage - how come he asked to be excused from the jump halfway through the warm-up?
After Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming looked at each other, they quickly understood Zeng Shaowen's idea - the reason was simple. Zeng Shaowen obviously glanced at Jiang Yuan after applying for exemption from jump. What else was there that he didn't know?
This kid probably saw Jiang Yuan apply for exemption from skipping, so he applied for it himself as well.
When Tian Ruhui saw this, he wanted to say, "Athletes should have their own understanding and judgment of the event during the competition," but he swallowed the words back.
Let's take a look first and see what happens next.
After Zeng Shaowen applied for exemption from the jump, the two last players were slightly surprised, and then, at the signal of the referee, they performed their first trial jump at a height of 2 meters.
After this athlete finished his trial jump, Jiang Yuan, as expected, also applied for exemption. However, because Zeng Shaowen had applied for exemption before, Jiang Yuan's action did not cause more discussion.
After Jiang Yuan applied for exemption from the jump, the first round of trial jumps at a height of 2 meters was considered to be over. Among the 13 finalists, two applied for exemption from the jump, and both failed in the first attempt.
After the two contestants who failed in the trial jump tried again and succeeded, no contestant was eliminated at the 2-meter height, and all 13 contestants entered the trial jump at the next height.
At the referee's signal, the height of the crossbar was raised from 2 meters to 2.05 meters.
In this round of trial jumps, Jiang Yuan still had no intention of getting up to warm up, so Zeng Shaowen also chose not to jump.
This situation continued until the third round when the crossbar height was 2.10 meters.
When the horizontal bar was raised to a height of 2.10 meters, Jiang Yuan, who had been sitting quietly in the rest area, finally stood up. At this time, in the first two jump attempts at heights, three contestants had been eliminated at a height of 2.05 meters because of three consecutive failed attempts.
In the audience, the students from No. 12 Middle School, who had been very "arrogant" before the game started, couldn't help but become a little worried.
"Wow, 2.10 meters... My god, this height feels almost as high as the door frame of our classroom, right? Can our top student really jump over it?"
"You're kidding! Of course you can! Didn't you watch the qualifying round this morning? Jiang Yuan also cleared the bar in one go when he was 2.15 meters!"
"That's true, but didn't we have the first two jumps in the morning to build on? This time we're jumping 2.10 meters right away..."
Wang Yangming, who was also in the audience, felt that his kidneys were about to fail, but when he looked at Jiang Yuan on the field, he couldn't help but complain to his fellow track and field fans: "How dare Jiang Yuan! How dare he skip the 2-meter and 2.05-meter jumps right away!"
The older brother next to him looked at him lovingly as if he were a fool: "Isn't this good for your kidneys?"
Wang Yangming choked and said bitterly: "But it's not good for my blood pressure!"
The height of 2.10 meters is 5 centimeters higher than the national first-class athlete standard of 2.05 meters. The standard for participating in the National Track and Field Grand Prix is that the athlete has achieved the national first-class athlete's standard in the past year.
So for the players present, a height of 2.10 meters may not be the absolute limit, but it is already a very difficult height. That is why in the qualifying round in the morning, a height of 2.15 meters had already eliminated the remaining qualifying players. Among the 13 players who advanced to the finals, only Jiang Yuan successfully cleared the bar in four consecutive attempts.
At the same time, this is also the reason why many people were worried about whether Jiang Yuan could successfully clear the bar when they saw him preparing for his first attempt at a height of 2.10 meters.
As everyone expected, the height of 2.10 meters is definitely not easy even for those players who have successfully advanced to the finals.
Among the remaining 11 contestants at this stage, a total of 5 contestants failed in their attempts at this height. When it was Zeng Shaowen's turn, this contestant with both very alarming upper and lower limits failed to adapt to the height of 2.10 meters in his first attempt, probably because he had skipped two jumps before.
Zeng Shaowen's failure caused a burst of regret among the audience, and in the Jigu live broadcast room, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming couldn't help but say that Zeng Shaowen's two consecutive applications for exemption from jump were a bit of a misstep.
but……
Zeng Shaowen’s continuous application for exemption from jumping was a mistake, so what about Jiang Yuan?
In the backcourt lounge, Su Yu noticed that the masseur was a little worried about Jiang Yuan's performance. He thought about it and said, "Don't worry, Brother Yuan is fine."
The masseur was a little surprised when he heard Su Yu's confident and calm tone. Then he saw on the live broadcast screen that Jiang Yuan had already stood in front of the starting line of the take-off area.
The 14-year-old boy stood tall and straight, and didn't seem to have any worries about his jump.
When the referee signaled to him that he could jump, he still calmly turned and adjusted his body in front of the running line. It was not until there were only a dozen seconds left on the timer that he took his running steps under everyone's nervous gaze.
When Tian Ruhui saw this, he couldn't help but praise Jiang Yuan for his stable mentality. Then he saw the young man taking rhythmic and elastic running steps and quickly came to the horizontal bar step by step. Then he pushed the ground with his take-off leg and soared into the air with the help of the rising force...!
success!
A perfect one-shot pass without a doubt!
“Beautiful dance!!”
Zhou Jiming couldn't help but shouting loudly in the live broadcast room - at the difficult height of 2.10 meters, when a number of contestants in front of him had failed in their attempts, and when Zeng Shaowen, who had been exempted from jumping like him, also failed in his attempts, Jiang Yuan still maintained his condition steadily and successfully crossed the horizontal bar!
At this moment, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming suddenly had a new idea - compared to Zeng Shaowen who had already achieved a score of 2.29 meters, perhaps Jiang Yuan was the more suitable person to be Sun Yuhang's successor.
After all, compared with Sun Yuhang, whose performance has always been quite stable, Zeng Shaowen's lower limit is really too low.
Of course, neither Tian Ruhui nor Zhou Jiming spoke about this issue. They just praised Jiang Yuan for his mentality and stable state in the high jump performance.
I don’t know if it was because of Jiang Yuan’s stimulation, but Zeng Shaowen seemed to have regained his form, and he succeeded in the second attempt.
After the three attempts at 2.10 meters were completed, three more athletes were eliminated at this height.
So far, only 8 of the 13 competitors in the men's high jump final are still challenging higher heights.
At the next height of 2.15 meters, 4 out of the 8 players were eliminated due to consecutive failed attempts. At this height, Zeng Shaowen, perhaps because of his "getting stronger when facing stronger opponents" state, also successfully cleared the bar in the first attempt. Except for him and Jiang Yuan, the other two players successfully crossed the 2.15-meter bar height in the second attempt.
With the end of the trial jump at a height of 2.15 meters, Jiang Yuan once again came to the temporary first place in the men's high jump final by successfully completing consecutive one-time trial jumps at two heights of 2.10 meters and 2.15 meters.
Ranked second below him is Zeng Shaowen, who is currently ranked second thanks to his outstanding performance at a height of 2.15 meters.
At this moment, the field seemed to be temporarily divided into two camps due to the strength of the players - the two players fighting for the third place, and Jiang Yuan and Zeng Shaowen fighting for the first and second place.
This trend became more obvious after the horizontal bar rose to a height of 2.19 meters.
In the Jigu live broadcast room, as the horizontal bar on the scene rose to a height of 2.19 meters, it became difficult for Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming to judge the next development trend.
After all, among the four players on the field, the remaining three had successfully cleared the bar at a height of 2.19 meters. Only Jiang Yuan cleared the 2.15-meter bar for the first time in the qualifying round this morning.
so……
Now that the horizontal bar has reached a height of 2.19 meters, can Jiang Yuan still maintain his miraculous performance of clearing the bar in one go?
Perhaps Zeng Shaowen is really a show-off athlete who becomes stronger the stronger his opponent. Although he once made a mistake at a height of 2.10 meters, as the bar got higher and higher, Zeng Shaowen's performance actually got better and better.
On the field, after the three players before Jiang Yuan completed their first trial jump at a height of 2.19 meters, the only one among the three who successfully crossed the 2.19-meter bar in one go was Zeng Shaowen.
At the same time, with Zeng Shaowen's successful clearance, everyone in the audience could clearly feel that the greatest pressure on the field at this moment... had fallen on Jiang Yuan!
If Jiang Yuan fails to maintain his one-time miracle of clearing the bar at this height, then the provisional ranking of the men's high jump final will change, and Zeng Shaowen's ranking will surpass Jiang Yuan...!
At this moment, even Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming in the Jigu live broadcast room couldn't help but feel nervous about the situation on the field.
"Performing a test jump at a height that has never been challenged before under such tremendous pressure is a huge pressure for any athlete... So, can Jiang Yuan, a 14-year-old athlete from the S Province Sports Team, withstand the pressure and successfully complete his test jump?!"
Amid Zhou Jiming's commentary, Jiang Yuan glanced at the height of the horizontal bar at the end of the run-up area from a distance on the field. His eyes clearly showed interest in new heights and new challenges.
Just as the live camera captured his smile, he once again started running steadily from the run-up area when his preparation time was about to run out.
One step, two steps, three steps...
The steady and comfortable running-up formed an L-shaped arc. When his running-up came to the last two steps, his steps became more and more rapid and powerful.
After the last step, his take-off leg stepped powerfully on the ground, completing an extremely beautiful stepping and rising action - jump!
He swings his legs and arms simultaneously in the air to help him rise, and then he twists his body in the air to generate the force to continue rising over the pole!
When the dim sky appeared before his eyes again, Jiang Yuan's upper body had already passed the 2.19-meter-high horizontal bar. He lowered his shoulders and thrust his hips forward to drive the strength and movement of his lower limbs.
Finally, he completed an extremely perfect pass in mid-air.
Men's high jump final, Jiang Yuan, first attempt at 2.19 meters - successfully cleared the bar!
At the same time, in the Jigu live broadcast room, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming couldn't help but burst into cheers -
"Jiang Yuan! You dance beautifully!!"
