Chapter 81: Surpassing All Contestants (Three Shifts)

Zhang Guan is the first time to appear on the international stage of the triple jump, and it is such an important competition at the Olympic Games. For the rest of the competition, Zhang Guan is almost unknown in this event.

In fact, there are some athletes who suddenly appear in every Olympic Games, but these new people often do not attract everyone's attention, and in fact, there are only a few players who have the strength to compete for medals. For players like Eduu and Evora, who have the strength to compete for the Olympic championship, they don't care about the strength of a new player.

However, Zhang Guan is obviously an exception, as the world's most famous athlete, Zhang Guan will attract attention wherever he goes, although Zhang Guan is a newcomer in the triple jump, but Zhang Guan's own fame will attract the attention of many big-name players.

Another point is that Zhang Guan has achieved very good results in the long jump event, and he is also the best in the qualifying round of the Tiansou plan, and the first place in the group appears. There is still something in common between the long jump and the triple jump, and a long jump world champion level player, even if he can't jump well in the triple jump event, he will definitely not jump badly.

The national team sent three players to compete in the triple jump event at the Olympic Games, so there is no doubt that Zhang Guan has reached the Olympic A standard, and many people have inquired about Zhang Guan's best result in the triple jump.

In the long jump and triple jump, personal bests are the most important measure of an athlete's performance. A personal best means you've done it before, and in the triple jump in the long jump, it's a sign that you're likely to do it again or even better in the future.

Soon, Zhang Guan's personal best of 17.37 meters spread among the competitors and was well known to everyone.

Some people feel surprised, some people feel depressed, some people feel pressure, and some people express disdain.

Zhang Guan's 17.37m is obviously a very good result for a more average athlete, and considering that Zhang Guan has many track and field events, and has reached the world's top level in other events, this personal best of 17.37m has become a very remarkable thing.

And those who are on the upper end of the pack and have the potential to make it to the finals are aware of another competitor. There are only 12 places in the competition, and top players such as Eduu and Evora must have booked a place to advance, so there are not really many places that can be allocated. One more competitor, and one less chance of advancement.

Only the strong competitors mostly expressed disdain for this result of 17.37 meters. In the triple jump in Asia, this result is the top result, but in the international arena, especially at the Olympic level, 17.37 meters is nothing, and there are many people who can jump 17.50 meters in the Olympics.

……

After a brief introduction to the athletes, the qualifying round for the triple jump began.

The Qatari athlete who came out first did not play well, jumping only 15.59 meters, which should be considered a bottom result in the qualifying round. However, considering that he is only a B standard player, it is natural to jump out of this result in such a tense competition as the Olympics.

Immediately afterwards, other candidates also came on the field one after another, and the results were also high and low, the low score only jumped more than 16 meters, and the high score was already close to 17 meters.

After all, it was the first jump, and many athletes chose to seek stability, even Eduu or Evora, who did not perform very hard in the first jump.

Great Britain's Adouu scored 17.15m on his first jump, which was probably on the verge of qualifying, but not very secure. Prior to this, Portugal's Evora jumped 17.17 meters, two centimetres more than Eduu, but there was no guarantee of 100 per cent qualification.

Russia's Spasokhovsky jumped 17.23m, his best time to date, and that would have ensured him to qualify for the final.

When it was Zhang Guan's turn, he was also very conservative on the first jump, and in the end he finished with the same time as Portugal's Evola, which was also 17.17 meters.

"At 17.17 meters, Zhang Guan's first jump is very good, and he may have a chance to advance to the final."

"There is definitely a chance, this result is the second best result in Group A, and the best result in Group B is only 17.18 meters, so now Zhang Guan is ranked third in the overall score!"

"Zhang Guan is really amazing, he got the cut in the first jump, and those top triple jumps must be not far behind!"

The audience at the scene naturally gave Zhang Guan thunderous applause, but the faces of Britain's Aeduu and Portugal's Evola were not so good-looking.

"I was still too conservative on my first jump, only 17.15 meters jumped, not only was I overtaken by Evola, but even the Zhang Guan jumped farther than me! I'll have to be serious on the next jump. Britain's Eduu thought to himself.

On the opposite side of Eduu, the Portuguese Évora also felt that his first attempt was too conservative, and he decided to jump more boldly in the next attempt.

Soon into the second round of the jump, Cuba's David Girat took the lead, and the 17.30m time has already surpassed Spasokhowski to confirm that he can advance to the final.

Finally, it was Portugal's turn to take the stage.

Evola took a deep breath and then began to run, and after jumping on one foot and stride, Evola finally jumped high and landed in a graceful position into the bunker.

"17.34 meters!" The surveyor announced the results, and there was even more exclamation around him. There were many competitors at the scene whose best time was not to jump to 17.34 meters, but Evola actually jumped this result in the qualifying round, and it seems that Evola jumped very easily.

"It's worthy of last year's world champion Evola, who jumped 17.34 meters so easily."

"This is the strength of the world's top players, and there is one less place in the finals."

"It's Eduu's turn soon, and I don't know what kind of results he's going to make."

In the midst of the chatter, Evora walked off the stage, glancing at Eduu as if she were challenging him. As for Zhang Guan, he was directly ignored by Evola.

Evola's provocative glance when he left the field certainly made Eduu very unhappy, and he snorted coldly, already determined in his heart to give Evora some color to see.

Soon after, I saw Eduu walk onto the field, and after the run-up accelerated, he also completed the test jump with a very beautiful move.

"Eduu's jump seems to be farther than Evola!"

"Of course, Evora jumped 17.34 meters just now, but Eduu's jump is more than 17.40 meters!"

"The surveyor announced, 17.44 meters! It's a full 10 centimeters farther away than Evora! ”

"Eduu is so strong, this must be the first result in the qualifying round!"

"This is the real strength of the world's top players, jumping 17.15 meters before, it's just fun for Eduu!"

Edúu walked off the field with a smug face, waiting for Evora to take a look.

The strong smell of gunpowder appeared between Eduu and Evola, but both knew that neither Evou's 17.34 meters nor Eidouu's 17.44 meters were their strongest strength.

After all, this is a qualifying tournament and for the players who want to win the title, they will not be going to give their full play here, and they will have to save their best form for the final in a few days.

The next few players never jumped to the level of Eduu or Evora. Most of their records are between 16.80m and 17.10m.

With the cheers of the audience, Zhang Guan once again stepped onto the field.

"The Englishman jumped 17.44 meters just now, and the Portuguese also jumped 17.34 meters, it seems that he is no longer deliberately trying to retain his strength, so I will also use a little force and jump seriously." Thinking of this, Zhang Guan started to run.

"Huh? It's so fast! Much faster than his first jump. The players watching the competition realized that Zhang Guan's starting speed was very fast, and he definitely surpassed the other runners.

"Hmph, what about being fast? The triple jump is not a sprint, but it is not just about speed. When it comes to the triple jump, technique is the most important thing! If you have no speed and no skills, you can't jump far. Eduu pursed his lips, trying to show his disdain.

Aiduu knew that he couldn't run Zhang Guan so fast, and he inevitably felt a hint of jealousy in his heart. He can also have a hunch that Zhang Guan's jump may be a very good result, but he doesn't want to admit it.

On the other side, Portugal's Evola didn't care about Zhang Guan at all, or he didn't care who was playing on the field, he was plugging in his headphones and shaking to the rhythm of the music.

On the field, Zhang Guan ended the run-up and stepped on the springboard. With three jumps in one go, he glided through the air for a while before falling into the sand pool.

"Oh! It's far away! Good jump. ”

"After 17.50 meters! Zhang Guan jumped 17.50 meters. ”

"It's 17.54 meters, Zhang Guan is farther than Eduu, a full 10 centimeters away!"

"Zhang Guan is so strong! At 17.54 meters, this is the best level in the world, maybe he has the strength to compete for a medal! ”

"As I said, Zhang Guan is so good in the long jump, he will definitely not be weak in the triple jump."

"17.54 meters, that's definitely the best result in qualifying."

"Zhang Guan surpassed Eduu and also surpassed Evora. He surpassed all the contestants! ”

Amid the cheers of the audience, Eduu's face was unprecedentedly ugly.
