Chapter 105 Shocking the World Record

The surveyor hurriedly walked up to the sand pool, and then he reported Zhang Guan's fourth jump score of 8.92 meters with an excited look!

"8.92 meters! Zhang Guan jumped out of 8.92 meters! This is a new Olympic record! Once again, the previous men's long jump Olympic record was 8.90 meters set by American athlete Bemon in 1968, which was also the world record at that time. This world record was not broken by Mike Powell until 1991. But for the Olympics, this record has been maintained for a full 40 years! Forty years ago, on October 18, at the Mexican Olympics, Bemon jumped out of the Olympic record of 8.90 meters, and was finally broken today by Zhang Guan. Today is also the 18th? This seems to be a inheritance, a inheritance that is 40 years apart!" The commentator could not hide his excitement, and his voice began to tremble.

Whether at the Bird's Nest or in front of the TV, countless viewers began to cheer. Just now, when Saradino jumped out of 8.86 meters, almost everyone thought that the title had lost its suspense. However, just one minute later, everything turned around. Originally, Saradino surpassed Zhang Guan by 0.06 meters, but now Zhang Guan surpassed Saradino by 0.06 meters. This roller coaster-style change came too quickly, and many people with bad hearts even found a quick-acting heart-saving pill.

In the espn's studio, the two commentators were once again in a daze.

A minute ago, they were still praising Saladino's strength, and the score of 8.86 meters could not be surpassed. But a minute later, when Zhang Guan walked out of the sand pool, the two of them were speechless at the same time.

What is the result that no one will surpass within ten years? Why is it surpassed in just one minute? It is agreed that Zhang Guan can only overtake unless a miracle happens? As a result, a miracle really happened.

After a long time, one of the commentators took a deep breath and said, "8.92 meters, Zhang Guan is now the long jumper second only to world record holder Mike Powell! I have to say that Zhang Guan is an athlete who is very good at creating miracles. Before that, he has created countless miracles in the track and field, and today, he has created another miracle again!"

Another commentator also recovered and said, "Yes, 8.92 meters, a new Olympic long jump record, and he is only 3 cm away from Mike Powell's world record. He is only 22 years old this year. Perhaps one day in the future, he can surpass Mike Powell and jump out of a new world record."

"One day in the future? I don't think so. Maybe Zhang Guan will jump out of a new world record next time he tries to jump!"

...

"Zhang Guan! Zhang Guan! Zhang Guan! Zhang Guan..."

The audience began to shout Zhang Guan's name in unison, as if we were welcoming a hero to return triumphantly.

Saradino looked at all this a little dumbly, and at this moment he seemed to have fallen from heaven to hell. He only enjoyed the fruit of victory for one minute. In just one minute, Saradino, full of hope, once again fell into the ocean of despair.

"8.92 meters? Zhang Guan jumped out of 8.92 meters? Can I still surpass him?" Saradino kept asking himself. At this time, he actually knew that he could not jump out of a better result than Zhang Guan. But in his heart, he was still unwilling to accept failure and was unwilling to admit failure.

Last time, when Zhang Guan jumped 8.80 meters, Saradino felt despair, but he turned that despair into the motivation to move forward; and this time, he felt greater despair, which even made him not have the courage to continue facing it.

One fight, one fight will decline again, and three times will be exhausted. This kind of battle with one's back will only be used once in a game. The feeling of surviving the disaster is indeed extremely exciting, but when it is discovered that the so-called victory only eliminates the enemy's vanguard, there is no capital for the second battle. Therefore, after burning the boat, the battle with one's back can only be the power of one battle. I have never heard of the saying "World War II".

At this time, Saradino had already reached the verge of collapse, but as the world's top track and field athlete, his professional qualities allowed him to continue to persevere. His desire for victory in his heart even more supported him to continue on the field.

The competition entered its fifth test jump, and the remaining six players have begun to compete for bronze medals. Whether it is Zhang Guan’s 8.92-meter score or Saladino’s 8.86-meter score, they are unattainable. The gap is too big. After knowing that there is no hope for gold and silver medals, the players have unloaded their burdens and have performed better.

The fifth trial jump of the top six players ended again, and Saradino walked onto the field in a daze.

"8.92 meters? How should I surpass him? Can't I really defeat him? Am I here to participate in the Olympics just to lose to him again?" Saradino shook his head suddenly: "No, I won't admit defeat!"

Saradino once again mustered up the courage to challenge Zhang Guan. However, in the eyes of many people, Saradino's behavior was undoubtedly a mantis arm to drive a car. 8.92 meters, which is an impossible achievement in people's hearts.

In the fourth try jump, Saradino's mind was blank, but this time, Saradou's heart was full of distractions.

Saradino started running, and his speed was still very fast. He stepped on the springboard accurately and then jumped high. However, the professionals in the field had already seen that Saradino's long jump this time was not as good as his previous few trial jumps.

Saradino fell into the sand pool. The moment his feet were in contact with the sand, Saradino saw from the corner of his eyes that the 8.90-meter marking was still in front of him. He even knew that his own line did not surpass Zhang Guan.

8.42 meters, this is Saradino's fifth test jump. If it is usually done, this is also a great number. But today, for Saradino, the poor score is too far and far. He walked off the arena in a daze, his eyes full of confusion.

"Saradino has lost. His results have been improving in the past few times, but this time he only jumped out of 8.42 meters, which has been exhausted in momentum. Although Saadino has another try jump, he has failed psychologically, and he is not as good as before. He can't jump out of better results at all." Many people have realized this, and this also means that Zhang Guan is about to win his first long jump Olympic champion and his third gold medal in this Olympics.

...

"With Saradino's current state, I'm afraid he can't surpass Zhang Guan again. I think Zhang Guan can rest assured and complete the next two trial jumps safely. 8.92 meters is already a very good result. Zhang Guan can choose a more conservative jumping method to save some physical strength and avoid injury." The espn commentator said.

"Yes, if I were Zhang Guan, I would just give up the next two trial jumps. We all know that Zhang Guan will participate in other events. Retention at the right time will also be beneficial for the next schedule." The man paused and continued: "But Zhang Guan obviously couldn't hear our advice. Look, he has walked onto the arena again. Is he going to complete his last two trial jumps?"

Zhang Guan walked onto the arena again, and the broadcast camera also pointed at him, giving him a big facial close-up.

Zhang Guan stretched out a finger, and seemed to be saying something in his mouth.

The two commentators at espn looked at each other inexplicably, and then one of them said, "Zhang Guan stretched out his finger, obviously saying that he was the first place, but he didn't know what he said in his mouth. It should be a Chinese sentence! Do you understand Chinese?"

His companion shook his head: "In Chinese, I can only say 'Hello', but Zhang Guan's mouth shape just now was obviously not 'Hello'. I think our Chinese colleagues may have interpreted what Zhang Guan is saying."

Of course, the two foreign commentators from espn do not know the Chinese lip shape, but the domestic commentators understand Zhang Guan's lip shape.

"World Record! What Zhang Guan just said was the four words "World Record". That's right, I can be sure. Judging from the lip, Zhang Guan said the four words "World Record". I understand that an Olympic record cannot satisfy Zhang Guan. Zhang Guan wants to hit the world record in the long jump event!"
