Chapter 69 (Four in One)
For the sprint event, the reason why the IAAF stipulates that the athletes' performance records must meet the standard wind speed is because wind speed has a real impact on the athletes' performance.
According to the theory of the impact of wind speed on short-distance running, a wind speed of 2 meters per second will affect the athlete's performance by about 0.1 seconds. In other words, if a athlete can run the 100 meters in 10 seconds with a strong tailwind of 2 meters, then under zero wind speed, his actual strength may only be 10.10 seconds.
At this moment, Su Yu was able to run 10.27 seconds against a headwind, which means that Su Yu's 100-meter strength should have reached around 10.25 seconds.
10.25 seconds!
Although neither Wang Yangming nor Sui Pengfei said it out loud, they both knew what they were thinking of at that moment - Naoto Takahashi.
Wang Yangming thought for a moment and said, "Old Sui, do you remember what the wind speed was when Su Yu ran 10.27 seconds last time?"
Ever since Wang Yangming and Zhong Wen made the bet, they both watched many of Su Yu's games live.
Sui Pengfei recalled: "There didn't seem to be much wind that time. If I remember correctly, it should be 0.2 meters per second?"
After saying this, Sui Pengfei also understood what Wang Yangming meant.
"Old Sui! For the second time in a row, Su Yu ran 10.27 seconds twice, once with a wind speed of 0.2 meters per second, and once with a headwind of 0.3 meters per second. Did you notice the wind speed when the Japanese runner Takahashi Naoto ran 10.15 and 10.19?"
Sui Pengfei certainly remembered it. After all, almost every time Naoto Takahashi from Japan ran a good time, he was accompanied by a strong tailwind. Track and field fans in Japan did not shy away from this fact at all, and even directly and loudly gave Naoto Takahashi the title of "Son of the Wind".
Naoto Takahashi's two good results, one was 3.3 meters per second with a strong tailwind, which was directly not recognized by the IAAF. The other was the one that was wildly discussed by forum members on the Track and Field Kingdom forum yesterday, in which he tied the WU18B result. Although Naoto Takahashi's result in this competition did not exceed the wind speed, the wind speed during the competition had reached a strong tailwind of 1.7 meters per second.
"Old Sui, our Su Yu can run 10.27 seconds in a headwind! If Su Yu is also put in a race in such a strong tailwind environment..."
At this point, Wang Yangming's eyes almost lit up.
As a die-hard track and field fan, if you ask Wang Yangming whether he wants to see domestic athletes surpass Japanese athletes and break the WU18B record?
Is there any need to ask this answer?
There is only one word: think!
However, Wang Yangming, like many relatively rational netizens, is well aware that there is still a certain gap between the overall track and field atmosphere and the depth of the athlete talent pool in China and Japan. So even though he is really itching to try, Wang Yangming will not join in the fun and say that he expects Su Yu to surpass Naoto Takahashi.
It was not until this moment, after seeing Su Yu's result of 10.27 seconds against the wind, that Wang Yangming suddenly realized that everyone seemed to have only seen the difference between 10.19 and 10.27 seconds, but did not notice the impact of wind speed on the results of both Takahashi Naoto and Su Yu.
Sui Pengfei was listening to Wang Yangming's hypothesis of 'putting Su Yu and Takahashi Naoto in the same wind speed conditions to compete'. After quickly calculating in his mind, his heart skipped a beat and he came up with the answer.
Suppose that Su Yu, who ran 10.27 seconds against a 0.3-meter headwind today, was put on the field with a 1.7-meter-per-second tailwind the day before to compete with Takahashi Naoto...
"10.17 seconds?!"
After Sui Pengfei got this answer, he was so excited that he almost jumped up.
***
Of course, Sui Pengfei and Wang Yangming were not the only ones who came to the same conclusion. In the live broadcast room of Jigu Video, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming actually came to the same answer in their minds the moment they noticed the headwind speed behind Su Yu's result.
Su Yu’s result!
If we have to talk about it, he is not inferior to Naoto Takahashi at all!
The moment they came to this answer, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming looked at each other - if they were just track and field enthusiasts, they would have jumped up and shared their discovery with others at the first moment, but their identities as media people and track and field commentators prevented them from making such an explanation in a live broadcast without any evidence.
So although they were excited, they could only suppress their emotions. While praising Su Yu and Feng Chuming, they also said, "We can see that in the second group of the men's 100m preliminaries, the athletes achieved good results in a headwind. Perhaps we can look forward to whether the athletes can create better results and records in a tailwind environment."
This statement was indeed a bit obscure, but some track and field fans in the live broadcast room still understood it. After someone realized the impact of wind speed on the athletes' performance, many track and field fans were startled - wow!
***
On the field, Su Yu, who had already finished the preliminary race, did not think too much.
After all, regardless of whether there is a tailwind or headwind, since Naoto Takahashi tied Ippei Suzuki's 10.19WU18B under the wind speed standards allowed by the IAAF, if he wants to surpass Naoto Takahashi, he must run a better result than him. Regardless of the wind speed environment, losing is losing, and winning is winning.
After seeing his result of 10.27 seconds on the electronic screen, Su Yu just blinked slightly, confirmed his result, looked back in the direction of the men's long jump competition area, and then left the venue first at the call of the staff.
On the way out, you will pass by the press pit. All authorized reporters will wait in this area for the players they want to interview.
However, compared with Su Yu, the more popular interviewee should have been Feng Chuming, but Feng Chuming was a black-faced man like Zheng Tianxi. It was rumored that Feng Chuming and Zheng Tianxi once wanted to ask for directions in a foreign country, but because they looked too fierce, they were mistaken for highway robbers - although this rumor was a bit outrageous, it did explain how fierce Zheng Tianxi and Feng Chuming looked.
Because of this, many reporters had originally handed out the microphones to interview Feng Chuming, but in the end, as Feng Chuming glanced at them, they unknowingly handed the microphone to Su Yu, who was sitting behind them.
Su Yu: “…”
Facing the interview microphone handed to him, Su Yu raised his head and looked at the reporter with a frown.
The reporter was also a little embarrassed, so he smiled and asked Su Yu a universal question: "Hello Su Yu, how do you think you performed today?"
Su Yu: “…”
Su Yu glanced at the reporter in front of him, thought for a moment, and gave a simple three-word answer: "Not bad."
reporter:"……"
These three simple and pure words made the reporter clearly realize - OK, he understood, this Su Yu also perfectly inherited a major characteristic of the athletes in the national track and field team's sprint group, that is, he is difficult to interview.
Fortunately, there was more than one reporter nearby. After hearing this interview question that was almost awkward, everyone laughed. Not far away, Li Xiang was originally waiting to catch Su Yu. Now that a colleague caught someone and saw his colleague chatting awkwardly with Su Yu, he also came over to greet Su Yu: "Hello Su Yu, I'm Li Xiang from G Province TV Station. I interviewed you, Jiang Yuan, and Zhou Yuang before. Do you remember me?"
Su Yu nodded: "I remember, hello, Mr. Li."
Hearing someone chatting with Su Yu, the reporter who had been chatting awkwardly with Su Yu before also stepped aside. But after hearing the conversation between the two, the reporters around knew Li Xiang's identity in an instant - Oh! It’s the lucky star from G Province TV Station!
Because the legend about Li Xiang's interview had spread widely, the reporters around originally wanted to disperse, but after hearing Li Xiang's self-introduction, their eyes lit up and they stayed.
Li Xiang was still chatting with Su Yu with a smile: "Is it convenient for me to interview you? Thanks to you, I have been transferred to the sports department. I should be specializing in track and field news in the future. I hope you can take care of me in the future."
Su Yu didn't expect that Li Xiang would actually transform into a professional track and field sports reporter.
Not only him, but the reporters around him actually didn't think much about it - among the reporters who came to interview today, there were actually not many who specialized in sports, and even fewer who specialized in track and field.
Li Xiang had reported a hot topic for the G Province TV station, so it was understandable that he would be transferred to the sports department to cover sports news, but covering track and field news full-time...
Many reporters looked at each other secretly, and they all felt that there would not be much future if they only ran track and field.
Su Yu noticed the gazes of the reporters around him and saw that they were not optimistic about Li Xiang's choice, but he was not qualified to comment too much on other people's choices, so he could only nod to Li Xiang: "Do you have any questions?"
Li Xiang certainly noticed the attitudes of his peers, but he didn't care much about it. Instead, he handed the interview microphone to Su Yu: "Su Yu, I noticed that this is the second time you've run 10.27 this season, and today's race was against the wind. Does this mean that your current personal 100-meter strength is more than this?"
Compared with the awkward topic that the reporter had previously raised with Su Yu, it was obvious that Li Xiang's question was genuine.
There are also track and field reporters among these surrounding areas, but this time their focus is on famous athletes and Asian Games favorites such as Zheng Tianxi, Feng Chuming, Zhan Youming, Chen Zexin, and Chen Yunfei. Of course, these track and field reporters also know about young players such as Su Yu, Jiang Yuan, and Zhou Yuang, but they really haven't put too much effort into them.
At this moment, after hearing Li Xiang's point of view, these reporters in the track and field department looked at each other - this question is indeed a good direction.
As for the question raised by Li Xiang, Su Yu, the interviewee, also clearly felt that it was different from the previous questions, so this time he did not perfunctorily answer it with the three words "okay", but after thinking about it, he gave a straightforward "yes" as the answer.
After hearing Su Yu's answer, Li Xiang's eyes lit up and he continued to ask, "In the previous game, I can see that you are in very good shape, Xiaoyu. Does this mean that in tonight's final, if the wind speed is ideal, you will have a chance to hit your personal best record?"
After hearing this question, Su Yu paused and thought for a while, and finally nodded: "If there is a chance, I will try it."
Although Su Yu's answer sounds quite standard, for reporters, it basically means a complete news topic. After a little arrangement, it can be summarized as "15-year-old Su Yu's hard power has reached 10.30 seconds!" Su Yu admitted that he would challenge his personal best record in the championship final! 》.
After all, this is just a post-match interview for the preliminary round. If Li Xiang doesn't intend to use the topic of Naoto Takahashi to set the pace for Su Yu and increase his pressure, then there are actually not too many interview topics related to today's game.
Therefore, after asking two simple questions, Li Xiang ended the interview with Su Yu. The reporter who was standing next to him probably felt that his previous awkward conversation with Su Yu really couldn't produce any effective interview material, so after Li Xiang finished the interview, he came up to Su Yu again, handed over the microphone, and asked a new interview question -
"Su Yu, can I ask what impact the adverse environment in the previous game had on you?"
Su Yu:?
In fact, compared with the previous universal interview topic "How do you feel?", this question is already considered to be a bit more thoughtful, but the reporters around, including Su Yu, can see that the inspiration for this question came from Li Xiang's previous interview.
The angle of this interview question is...
Su Yu frowned and thought for two seconds, then asked hesitantly, "...Maybe it affects me and prevents me from competing in a tailwind environment?"
Interviewer: ...?
Reporters around: ...Poof!
The reporters present probably didn't expect that Su Yu would give such a "wonderful" answer. After a burst of laughter, the interviewing reporters had to awkwardly retract their microphones.
After all, when he thought about it, he found it difficult to think of any serious answer for the moment.
At this moment, Feng Chuming, who was also stopped for an interview, looked back at Su Yu who was stopped by the reporters and shouted, "Su Yu, let's go."
Feng Chuming probably thought that Su Yu would be nervous being surrounded by so many reporters, so he simply shouted for Su Yu to leave.
Su Yu nodded to Feng Chuming, said "goodbye" to the reporters, then turned around and left with Feng Chuming.
After watching Su Yu leave, the remaining reporters on the field all smiled and patted the reporter who asked the adverse question, saying with a smile: "It's okay, although it's not an effective interview, but you have a famous interview scene, right?"
Interviewing reporter: “…”
Okay, that's true. If I can't get an effective interview, at least I can get a famous interview scene.
***
On this side, after the reporters finished interviewing Su Yu, the third group of the men's 100m race was over. After the three groups of 21 men's 100m athletes had all finished their races, the final list of candidates who advanced to the men's 100m finals was actually already decided.
They are Zheng Tianxi, Feng Chuming, Su Yu, Chen Peijie, Gao Tianwu, Zhao Yingping, Yu Shaojie and Zhang Ruqiang, who ranked first to eighth in the overall ranking.
Among them, Zhang Ruqiang, who ranked eighth, had a final score of 10.42 seconds, and was ranked third in the first group of preliminaries. He defeated Ye Minghao, a famous player from H Province, by 0.04 seconds.
After the list of 8 finalists was confirmed, the track and field fans present and before the live broadcast could not help but sigh that this championship was worthy of being the much-anticipated Asian Games trials, and the strength and quality of the athletes were indeed strong. You know, a result of 10.42 seconds would have been enough to win a medal in most of the previous races, but today, Zhang Ruqiang could only barely advance to the finals with an eighth place.
At the same time, among the 8 athletes who advanced to the finals, except Zhang Ruqiang, the remaining 7 athletes all ran less than 10.40 seconds - such performance of the athletes also made the audience present unable to help but start looking forward to the men's 100m final which will start tonight.
I don’t know if these contestants can give even more exciting performances in tonight’s final?
***
Although the audience was looking forward to the men's 100m final in the evening, it was still only the morning session after all. So as the men's 100m preliminaries were over, the audience's attention was quickly attracted to the men's long jump competition that was about to begin.
The rules of this men's long jump competition are the same as those of the previous races. The eight finalists are determined through the first three jumps. The eight finalists then conduct three rounds of trial jumps based on their scores. The final ranking is determined based on the results of the six trial jumps in total.
A total of 17 athletes have qualified for the men's long jump championship, including a group of famous men's long jump athletes led by Chen Zexin.
In the Jigu live broadcast room, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming were also discussing the lineup for the men's long jump final.
"Today's men's long jump final is absolutely star-studded - for track and field enthusiasts who love long jump, this will definitely be a feast not to be missed!"
What Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming said was really not an exaggeration. After all, in the Z City race where Jiang Yuan won the gold medals in both men's high jump and men's long jump, Xu Bo and Xu Yifei, who were competing with Jiang Yuan for the championship at that time, were "players with the ability to break 8 meters" and were already strong contenders for the championship of the game.
In today's match, although Xu Bo and Xu Yifei have already obtained tickets to participate in this championship game, when facing a group of famous players headed by Chen Zexin, it is uncertain whether they can even get the final qualifying spot, let alone compete for the championship.
After all, it takes extraordinary strength to break 8 meters. But among the 17 players present, only five players from the national team, Chen Zexin, Yu Zhou, Liao Mingming, Wang Qi and Gao Xu, have achieved their personal best results of 8.20 meters. At the same time, in this season's competition, the best results of these five players are all above 8.10 meters, and their average season ranking is within the top 40 in the world.
These are the five athletes nicknamed the 'Five Tigers of the Long Jump' by Chinese track and field fans.
For track and field fans, it doesn't matter who is finally chosen from the 'Five Tigers of Long Jump' as the Asian Games contestants. The two 'Five Tigers' who have been given the chance to compete will surely win two medals in the men's long jump - as the Chinese team's strong event at the current stage, track and field fans have such strength and confidence in the men's long jump event.
“Here it comes!”
Just as Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming briefly introduced the current strength of my country's men's long jump and the "Five Tigers of Long Jump" on the field, the staff on the field had already arranged the order of the players' appearance, and then the on-site referee began to signal to the players that the competition was about to begin.
In the audience seats, Wang Yangming and Sui Pengfei have already turned their attention back to the men's long jump competition.
After looking in the direction of the competition preparation area, Wang Yangming spotted Jiang Yuan sitting there.
"I wonder how Jiang Yuan is doing today? Is this his first time facing off against the Five Tigers?"
Sui Pengfei glanced at Wang Yangming and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Have you forgotten the first game you watched of Jiang Yuan? It was the Grand Prix in our S City last season. Didn't Jiang Yuan play against Gao Xu?"
Wang Yangming waved his hands: "Oh, I know. What I mean is that this should be the first time that Jiang Yuan faces all the Five Tigers. I don't know how he will perform today."
How about it?
If Jiang Yuan in the preparation area could hear the conversation between Wang Yangming and the others at this time, he would probably tell them with a smile "not so good".
Although the comfort from Su Yu before the game made his condition much better, it was the first time that he felt his body stiff during the game - it was not that he thought it was okay just because he had adjusted his condition. No matter how much he told himself in his heart that "your condition has improved", this slightly tense body was proof that he was still nervous.
This was a feeling he had never experienced before, and he originally thought it would be terrible, but after entering the competition field, this slightly tense feeling unexpectedly gave him a sense of reality that 'he was really in the competition'.
This feeling...
Although it might hold him back a bit, but... unexpectedly it seems not bad.
In the preparation area, the only players who are relatively familiar with Jiang Yuan are Xu Bo, Xu Yifei and Gao Xu.
These three people had observed Jiang Yuan since the previous warm-up stage, and they all noticed that compared with the previous races, Jiang Yuan's condition seemed a little tense. As relatively experienced players, they all knew that Jiang Yuan must be a little nervous before the big competition.
Seeing Jiang Yuan in this state, the three of them wanted to help Jiang Yuan relax a little. In the end, Gao Xu took the lead and patted Jiang Yuan on the shoulder and told him to "relax."
Sensing Gao Xu's kindness, Jiang Yuan smiled and nodded to Gao Xu: "Thank you."
The interaction between the two was not too obvious, but coincidentally it was captured by the camera of the Jigu live broadcast room. After seeing the actions between the two, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming also understood what it meant.
"It seems that Gao Xu noticed that Jiang Yuan was a little nervous, so he comforted him."
Zhou Jiming nodded and said "yes", then smiled and said to Tian Ruhui: "Teacher Tian, this seems to be the first time that Jiang Yuan feels nervous in a competition, right?"
Tian Ruhui also smiled: "Yes, so far, Jiang Yuan has been very relaxed in the game, but it is obvious that in the battlefield where he is facing the 'Five Tigers' head-on, even our 'super rookie' Jiang Yuan can hardly help but be nervous."
"But it's not just Jiang Yuan. In addition to Jiang Yuan, there are also many players in this competition who have never faced all five Tigers at once. For these players, the mentality and psychological quality when facing the Five Tigers are very important."
While the two were chatting, the first contestant appeared on the field.
This is a player from Province Z. He has never had a head-on confrontation with all the Five Tigers in the past competitions. Among the legendary Five Tigers, the only two he has actually played against are Gao Xu and Wang Qi. Among them, Wang Qi and he are from the provincial team of Province Z. Therefore, in reality, he did not feel too much pressure when playing against Wang Qi.
Now, in addition to Wang Qi, there are four other "tigers" on the field at the same time. This situation made the athlete from Province Z too nervous, so that he stepped directly over the springboard during the first attempt. And it is obvious that when he stepped over the line, because he crossed the line too much, he had already realized his mistake during the take-off process.
This mistake made his mentality instantly tense, and his overall posture in the air became worse.
In the end, the first athlete not only had no result, but also made a foul jump with most of his foot over the springboard. His first attempt did not even cross the 7-meter line - a very bad result and performance.
The audience applauded and cheered for the first runner when he started his run, but it was obvious that this encouragement did not bring him any good results.
“I’m still too nervous.”
In the live broadcast room of Jigu Video, Tian Ruhui made this statement: "It is indeed a very rare experience for domestic players to face the 'Five Tigers', but our players need to understand that even the 'Five Tigers' will not have smooth sailing in the international arena. They will also face opponents who are more difficult for them to deal with."
"In this Asian Games trials, I think that for young players, the mentality of the 'Five Tigers' in facing strong opponents and their attitude towards the game are what young players should learn. I hope that young players can take this opportunity to feel the atmosphere of competing with top players and lay a solid foundation for their future strength improvement and be prepared."
The first contestant's performance was a failure, which attracted relatively serious comments from Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming. However, these comments were not malicious criticisms, but criticisms with good intentions.
Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming did not dwell on this contestant's mistake. After commenting, they quickly turned the topic to the next contestant.
Coincidentally, the second person to appear was Jiang Yuan, who was seen by many people as being "a little nervous" today.
After seeing Jiang Yuan appear, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming were also a little nervous.
After all, they could see that Jiang Yuan was in a somewhat tense state today, especially since Jiang Yuan was following a competitor who had failed in his first attempt, which inevitably made people even more worried.
You know, in all the past competitions, Jiang Yuan has never failed in a long jump attempt.
Faced with a contestant who had hardly ever suffered any setbacks, people including Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming couldn't help but worry about Jiang Yuan - would this rising star who had been so dazzling so far fail in this competition?
At this time, in the meeting room of the national track and field team's jumping group, the jumping group coaches headed by Pei Yongsheng were also watching the game in front of them.
Some coaches frowned and were worried about Jiang Yuan's situation. After all, considering Jiang Yuan's age and his competition experience, it was really difficult for him to deal with the current situation.
There were also coaches from the jumping group asking Pei Yongsheng, "Coach Pei, aren't you worried about Jiang Yuan's condition?"
Pei Yongsheng smiled and said, "Worry, why not worry?"
"And you are still smiling?"
Pei Yongsheng said with a smile: "Why? When the contestants encounter difficulties or hardships, do we have to look sad too? Is that considered caring?"
"……this."
The coach who asked the question was stumped and didn't know how to answer.
Pei Yongsheng continued to smile and said, "Don't be nervous. We usually give careful guidance and care to the players. This is enough. Before the game, we will also give careful guidance to the players.
As coaches, if we cannot be with the team on site to provide guidance and care to the players, then all we can do is stop there. ”
"Since we have already done what we can, what extra benefit will there be if we keep a straight face?"
The coach who asked the question shook his head after listening to Pei Yongsheng's theory.
Pei Yongsheng smiled and said, "In fact, even when giving on-site guidance, I don't recommend being too serious, unless you think it's necessary to be serious at the time to give the contestants some extra pressure."
As he spoke, Pei Yongsheng looked at the live broadcast screen: "As for Jiang Yuan, this child's growth path is too fast and too smooth. He himself is aware of this and has discussed this issue with me."
"We want him to feel what it's like to be nervous, frustrated and under pressure during the Asian Games trials."
This was the first time that the coaching staff members present heard Pei Yongsheng mention Jiang Yuan's situation.
Some coaches understand this kind of "frustration education", but some coaches think that this "frustration education" is a bit too early and too much: "What if he is really too nervous and never recovers after this setback?"
Pei Yongsheng listened to the coach's words, tapped the table with his fingers, and said with a smile: "What should I do? Nothing."
"Every contestant has to go through this stage. Chen Zexin, Yu Zhou, Liao Mingming, Wang Qi, and Gao Xu have all gone through this stage. They have successfully made it through.
To be able to come this far. ”
"Jiang Yuan will encounter this hurdle, and I will help him move forward, but if he can't get through it himself, then his achievements will only stop here."
In the past, there were too many talented players who had smooth sailing when they were growing up, but were unable to recover after encountering setbacks, or they were "selectively in poor condition" when facing strong opponents or international players. Such players, no matter how talented they were originally, will inevitably have limited achievements in the end.
So as Pei Yongsheng said - what to do? Not much.
The problems Jiang Yuan is facing now can only be solved by Jiang Yuan himself.
***
On the field, Jiang Yuan could feel that his body was still a little tense - this jump was not easy.
When he clearly knew his current problem, Jiang Yuan did not force himself to take this leap. He knew that no matter how tense he was, he had to take this leap first.
He needs to feel his own condition and problems before he can show better condition and performance.
Let's get started.
After the referee signaled that he could jump, Jiang Yuan did not delay any longer because of his tense state at the moment. Instead, he stretched and relaxed as much as he could on the spot, took a deep breath, and started his run towards the taking-off board in front of the run-up area!
"Jiang Yuan started his run-up with this jump!"
In the Jigu live broadcast room, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming were both slightly nervous and looked at Jiang Yuan on the live broadcast screen - both of them hoped that no matter what, at least they would not fail in the jump.
On the field, Jiang Yuan still maintained his running rhythm. It can be seen that due to nervousness, the body posture shown in his running is actually not as relaxed as in his previous competitions. However, Jiang Yuan's running rhythm was not disrupted. The gradually and steadily accelerating running rhythm is already an ideal performance for many players.
In the Jigu live broadcast room, Zhou Jiming also added: "This run-up speed is very fast!"
Then, as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately followed up with a sentence: "Jiang Yuan, get on the board!"
In the live broadcast, Jiang Yuan gradually accelerated during his run-up and reached the take-off board, and then he took the initiative to step on the take-off board with his leg. Because his take-off speed was very fast, even with the current high-definition live broadcast it was difficult to see whether Jiang Yuan had committed a foul when he jumped onto the board. However, his overall posture in the air was very good. His arms were stretched in the air, and his entire body was stretched out to slow down the tendency of his body to roll forward during the jump. Finally, he used the strength of his hips to complete the final leap in the air and then landed.
"Okay! Sure!!!"
"Jiang Yuan's jump was great!"
After Jiang Yuan successfully landed, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming both showed satisfaction in their eyes. Regardless of the final result of Jiang Yuan's jump, at least Jiang Yuan did not have any obvious technical errors during the entire jumping process. It can be seen that Jiang Yuan's jump was relatively tense, but even in such a tense state, Jiang Yuan did not let his technique deform.
Including the moment when Jiang Yuan landed and left the sand pit, it can be seen that his entire expression was relatively relaxed.
Jiang Yuan even smiled and waved towards the audience, which obviously showed that he was satisfied with his performance in this jump - he overcame his tense state and made a good jump even in a not-so-good state.
Far away in the jumping event group meeting room of the national track and field team, the jumping event coaches present all smiled after seeing Jiang Yuan's jumping performance.
"This Jiang Yuan is really good."
Just as Pei Yongsheng said, these young players are not afraid of encountering setbacks. What they are afraid of is that they will be devastated and unable to recover after encountering setbacks.
As long as they can keep themselves stable and maintain a stable mentality no matter what setbacks they encounter, then these coaches will have the confidence that they can lead the players to successfully overcome every obstacle they encounter.
With this thought in mind, everyone had a very tolerant attitude towards Jiang Yuan's jump - no matter what the final result of Jiang Yuan's jump was, there was no problem.
Even in the Jigu live broadcast room, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming helped Jiang Yuan explain to the audience: "This is Jiang Yuan's first time facing the 'Five Tigers of Long Jump'. With the first player making an obvious mistake, Jiang Yuan can be said to be facing huge pressure. His performance in this jump is already quite good. If he wants to sprint for a better result, we should look forward to Jiang Yuan's next two attempts."
On the public screen of the Jigu live broadcast room, track and field fans all understood the hints from Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming.
In fact, the reason why Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming have become popular track and field commentators today is actually due to their true love for track and field events and their protection and care for the athletes.
Everyone was about to reply "I understand, I understand" on the public screen, but they saw a replay of the live footage - the first thing they saw was the scene of the run-up and then the board.
Very good, the board is compliant!
Then Jiang Yuan was seen taking off with his active jumping leg and stepping on the springboard. His body then began to stretch forward with the help of the force of the lateral rise, and then landed forward.
Finally, the on-site referee also gave Jiang Yuan's first final score after measurement and confirmation - 7.53 meters.
Everyone:?
On the public screen of Jigu’s live broadcast room, a bunch of question marks first floated by, and then someone asked: [7.53 meters? 】
[……emmm]
[Suddenly it’s a bit difficult to comment]
[This result... When Teacher Tian and Teacher Zhou's words came out just now, I thought my eyes were split, and I saw the scene where Jiang Yuan jumped more than 6 meters as Jiang Yuan jumped more than 7 meters. 】
[Laughing Rat, what’s going on? It’s 7.53 meters! Although this result is not good enough compared with the Five Tiger Generals, it is already very outstanding for ordinary players! 】
[+1, Laughing Rat, in ordinary competitions, this is enough to win a medal or even the championship! 】
There was a burst of laughter on the public screen of the live broadcast room, and in the live commentary room of Jigu Video, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming were slightly stunned and then laughed after seeing Jiang Yuan's result.
Tian Ruhui smiled and said, "It seems that Teacher Zhou and I still underestimated Jiang Yuan's ability!"
Under tense and stressful circumstances, Jiang Yuan was able to withstand the negative pressure of the previous player's failure and jump a score of 7.53 meters, which is already perfect!
In the backcourt lounge, Su Yu, who was already lying on the massage bed receiving a massage from the masseur, blinked and relaxed a little after seeing Jiang Yuan's condition after jumping 7.53 meters on the live TV.
He could see that with the success of this jump, Jiang Yuan released a lot of emotions that had accumulated in his body and made him feel tense and irritable.
After this jump, what awaits Jiang Yuan will be a state that is definitely better than this jump.
Thinking of this, Su Yu couldn't help but think of the men's 100m final that he would take part in in the evening - compared with Jiang Yuan's situation, his final tonight would definitely not be easy.
Zheng Tianxi and Feng Chuming will certainly do their best to secure their qualification for the Asian Games in the evening game, while Chen Peijie, Gao Tianwu and others also want to take advantage of the opportunity to compete with Zheng Tianxi and Feng Chuming, as well as the opportunity to compete in G City, a city with an altitude of more than 1,000 meters, to break their personal best records.
There will definitely be a fierce battle in tonight's men's 100m final.
With this thought in mind, Su Yu began to feel that his previously calm state seemed to be changing. He began to feel the anticipation for tonight's men's 100-meter final - this anticipation made him a little impatient at this moment!
***
On the field, after seeing the final result of 7.53 meters, Jiang Yuan showed a relaxed smile on his face - he could feel that although this result did not seem ideal, in just this jump, he had successfully broken through a certain difficulty that had always troubled him.
Next, all he needs to do is to continue to break through!
With this thought in mind, he walked back to the preparation area with ease.
After seeing him coming back, Gao Xu smiled and gave him a thumbs up: "Good boy, not bad!"
It was clearly a tense state, but the result was 7.53 meters.
Gao Xu could see that Jiang Yuan had made a breakthrough.
Not only him, but several other members of the 'Five Tigers' also noticed Jiang Yuan's performance and had a more direct understanding of this 15-year-old young player who had just emerged last season.
Among them, Chen Zexin turned his head and paid more attention to Jiang Yuan, and nodded to him.
After that, after Jiang Yuan's jump, other players came on stage. Among them, Xu Bo and Xu Yifei scored 7.62 meters and 7.77 meters respectively in the first round of trial jumps. When it was the turn of the 'Five Tigers', four of the five players scored at least 7.82 meters. Among them, Chen Zexin and Yu Zhou directly crossed the eight-meter line in the first jump, with scores of 8.13 meters and 8.19 meters respectively.
But among the 'Five Tigers', there was also Liao Mingming who tried a more radical and extreme jump in his first jump. As a result, he stepped on the line when he took off and jumped onto the board, which was a foul and he failed to achieve an effective result.
After the first trial jump, Yu Zhou temporarily took the first place in the first trial jump stage of the men's long jump preliminaries with his first jump score of 8.19 meters.
After the first round of trial jumps, the second round of trial jumps follows.
In this trial jump, the first athlete was still in a very tense state, so that his second round of trial jump ended in failure.
At this time, Jiang Yuan was standing in front of the starting line. He was wearing a sleeveless I-shaped competition suit and his hands on his waist. It was obvious that he was much more relaxed than in the first round of trial jumps.
This time, everyone, including Chen Zexin in the on-site preparation area, focused their attention on Jiang Yuan.
Gao Xu looked back at Chen Zexin and said with a smile: "How is it? Did I praise you well?"
During the previous overseas competition training, Gao Xu paid attention to Jiang Yuan's domestic competitions, and also expressed his optimism about Jiang Yuan to Chen Zexin and others.
But what kind of genius haven’t Chen Zexin and his friends seen?
They themselves were top talents, so their initial assessment of Jiang Yuan's potential was relatively conservative.
But after seeing Jiang Yuan's first jump today, Chen Zexin and others began to pay attention to Jiang Yuan - after all, it is easy to find a talented player, but it is more difficult to find a player who has talent, mentality, and the ability to withstand and overcome difficulties.
At the moment, it seems that Jiang Yuan in this arena has some of this intention.
With this thought in mind, Chen Zexin and others turned their attention to Jiang Yuan who was about to start his run-up - from the beginning of Jiang Yuan's run-up, his body was visibly more relaxed than his first attempt. Then, with a steady and accelerating run-up, his speed increased rapidly, and then he stepped onto the taking-off board!
"Jiang Yuan, get on the board!"
"pretty!!"
In the live commentary room of Jigu Video, Tian Ruhui loudly praised Jiang Yuan for his beautiful jump. Then he watched Jiang Yuan stretch out his body in perfect posture in the air after this beautiful jump, and then landed in the sand pit after a long parabola, and then his body quickly moved forward and left his landing position in the sand pit!
A very beautiful and perfect jump!
and……!
"This jump!" Zhou Jiming said with surprise after seeing where Jiang Yuan landed: "Jiang Yuan's performance this time is incredible!"
"Yes!" Tian Ruhui said with joy in his voice: "Come, let's take a look at the slow-motion replay first - Jiang Yuan's board shot... was not a foul!"
"The referee has signaled that Jiang Yuan's jump result is valid!"
"The only question now is, what kind of result did Jiang Yuan achieve in this jump just now?"
With such questions, all the track and field fans in the audience seats and the live broadcast room of Jigu Video held their breath until the referee team on site finished measuring and gave the final results.
Athlete No. 2 Jiang Yuan (S Province Sports Team), first jump, 7.53 meters (wind speed 0.7m/s), second jump, 8.16 meters, (wind speed 0.9m/s) PB!
"Congratulations!!!"
At this moment, cheers from the audience resounded through the sky, and Jiang Yuan, who had successfully broken through his own limit, also let out a long sigh and waved to the audience with a smile.
The author has something to say:
Congratulations to Xiaoyu, you got a famous interview scene +1
