The order of appearance of the fourth attempt has been lined, Zhang Guan scored first in the first three jumps, so he was the last to appear, and Saladino was the penultimate athlete to perform the attempt.

In the athletes' preparation area, Saladino deliberately stood far away from Zhang Guan, he came for the gold medal, he thought that he had won the championship nine times out of ten, but he didn't expect to kill a Zhang Guan halfway, and the score of 8.58 seconds also refreshed the best time he held this year, so before the game started, Saladino showed strong hostility towards Zhang Guan.

At this moment, a voice sounded from Saladino's side: "8.58 meters, what a terrible result, I think this result can already win the championship in advance!" ”

Saladino turned around and found that the person who spoke was none other than American player Dwight Phelps.

Dwight Phelps is the American men's long jump star and the man who carried the American long jump banner after Mike Powell retired. He was originally a professional 400m athlete, but later switched to the long jump, and won the "double championship" of the long jump event at the World Championships in Athletics and the Olympic Games. Before Saladino's rise, Dwight Phelps was the strongest long jumper in the world.

However, in the past year, Dwight Phelps has been plagued by injuries, so whether it is the Golden League or the Super Grand Prix of the Athletics Federation, Phelps has not achieved too good results. The double world champion and Olympic champion seems to be about to sink.

Seeing that it was Phelps who spoke, Saladino's eyes showed a sense of jealousy, he knew that Phelps was only temporarily troubled by injuries, and if Phelps was healthy, his strength would not be weaker than himself.

Saladino said, "If I hadn't competed, 8.58m would have been a winning result." But for me, 8.58m is just a slightly more difficult time, and with three more jumps to go, I think I can beat that distance! ”

Phelps smiled and said, "Don't forget. Zhang Guan's strength is still unknown, he only jumped once, we don't know where his limit is, what if 8.58 meters is also not his limit? ”

"I admit that Zhang Guan is a very talented athlete, but he is a sprinter after all. Maybe that jump just now was just his luck, and it was just a coincidence! Saladino was unconvinced.

"Luck? Coincidental? Don't lie to yourself! Those who can jump above 8.50 must be really strong players! Phelps continued: "I used to be a sprinter, and then I practiced the long jump, and I was 22 years old when I started the long jump, but Zhang Guan is only 20 years old this year. His achievements in sprinting are much higher than mine, and perhaps his achievements in the long jump will surpass me! Don't forget, there are many examples of sprinters achieving results in the long jump. ”

Saladino's brows furrowed, although he didn't want to admit it, but Phelps's words did make sense.

Instead of continuing to talk to Phelps, Saladino nodded to the track and continued, "Dwight." Hurry up and warm up, your game is about to begin. ”

……

At this time, Zhang Guan's most concerned player is also Saladino. The Panamanian came close to winning all six of his previous matches in the Golden League, and Zhang Guan knows better that 2006 and 2008 were the peak of Saladino's career. Golden League, Athletics World Cup, World Championships in Athletics, Olympic Games...... Saladino has won basically every major tournament in the world.

"With a score of 8.58 meters, Saradino should feel a lot of pressure now! I don't know how Saradino is doing today, but if he is in average form, then my 8.58m should be able to win the championship. But if Saladino is in good form, this result is not enough! ”

Zhang Guan thought as he observed the performance of the competitors on the track.

"It's a player from Team Europe. It turned out to be a white man! In recent years, white people have not been seen in the long jump in international competitions. ”

The European team is none other than Spaniard Mehlis, who is a very technical athlete, but his physical fitness is really not as good as that of the black athletes, and this jump of 8.06m is already his limit.

"Next up is Dwight Phillips! I heard that he is in average form this year. ”

Phelps is one of the few long jumpers that Zhang Guan knows, because since the Athens Olympics, Phelps has also participated in many Golden League and Athletics Grand Prix, and Zhang Guan also bowed his head and did not look up, although the two are not familiar with each other, they will also say hello when they meet each other.

Phillips jumped just 8.10 metres in this jump, which also confirmed the rumours that he was suffering from injuries and was in very bad form.

Among the next few competitors, South Africa's Mokuna had the best jump after the game, jumping 8.30 meters, temporarily ranking behind Zhang Guan and Saladino.

"That's the previous Asian record holder, Saudi Arabia's Al-Qul Walidi!" Zhang Guan looked at a player in a gray sportswear and immediately guessed the identity of the other party.

This time the Asian team's match uniform, the top is gray, and the shorts are black, so although Zhang Guan doesn't know Walidi at all, he can judge the identity of the other party through the game uniform.

"The Saudis' current long jump coach is world record holder Mike Powell, so the level of long jump in Saudi Arabia has improved by leaps and bounds. Oh! He's on the line! ”

Seeing the referee raise the red flag, Validi shook his head helplessly and walked out of the sand pit.

"In my memory, Walidi was probably only more active in the past two years, but Al Shaba's results have always maintained a good level, if it weren't for the appearance of Li Jinzhe, maybe Al Shaba would have been able to dominate Asia for a few years!"

Zhang Guan watched Walidi walk out of the sand pool, and he also got up and walked to the running area, and the next person to appear was Saladino, and after Saladino was Zhang Guan's fourth attempt.

Saladino slowly walked up to the starting point and moved his muscles a little more, just as the timer began to show a countdown. As a big-name star player, and the first favorite to win the championship before the competition, of course, there will be some special care, such as dozens of seconds more preparation time than other athletes.

Saladino started to run, and his speed wasn't really extreme. But it is very rhythmic, and this kind of running is also a trend in the long jump event in recent years. In particular, athletes in Europe and the United States who are strong in the long jump are increasingly beginning to pay attention to the rhythm in the run. However, domestic training generally still emphasizes the extreme speed of running.

This time, Saladino opted for a more aggressive jump, deliberately pursuing the starting position, and the toes were closer to the marking of the starting board. In order to better ensure the balance of his body in the air, he did not choose the squatting position, but chose the most commonly used stride style for professional athletes.

"Whoosh......" Saladino bunker, he quickly got up and walked out of the bunker. Then he looked back at his results in the sand pit.

"It's 8.5 meters! However, it doesn't seem to have reached the level of 8.58 meters, which is about 8.55 meters! "Saladino was already sure of his results just by looking at it.

Subsequently, after the surveyor took the measurements, he also reported Saladino's final result: 8.54 meters, slightly more than Saladino's prediction, but still two centimeters away from Zhang Guan's 8.58 meters.

"Oh ......" The audience at the scene let out a sound of loss, obviously also feeling sorry for Saladino, the difference of two centimeters. From a distance, it was almost minimal, and even before the results were reported, many viewers thought that Saladino's jump had reached or surpassed Zhang Guan.

Immediately afterwards, it was Zhang Guan, who appeared in the eighth attempt.

I saw Zhang Guan dragging his pace towards the referee. After saying a few words, the referee then announced that Zhang Guan had given up this test jump.

In general, athletes give up the game. It often attracts boos from the audience, and if someone reports it, it may even lead to an investigation by the competition. However, today, when the referee announced that Zhang Guan had given up this attempt, it did not attract boos from the audience, but many people gave Zhang Guan encouraging applause.

Zhang Guan gave up this time to try the jump! In fact, we can also understand Zhang Guan's choice, he carried out the 100-meter dash and 400-meter dash two events in a row within 20 minutes, and then performed a test jump, I think the 8.58-meter result just now has overwhelmed Zhang Guan's physical fitness! He really needs more time to rest! And judging from the current situation, 8.58 meters is still the first result. The narrator took the initiative to defend Zhang Guan.

Indeed, for the audience, Zhang Guan has already brought them two exciting sprint races and a test jump with the best result of the year, and even the most discerning spectators can forgive Zhang Guan for giving up this test jump.

Next, the fifth trial jump will begin immediately.

With Saladino jumping 8.54 meters, the other six competitors were actually out of contention for the first and second place. The vast majority of them have a best time of around 8.40m, and some may be able to jump over 8.50m, but no one can jump above 8.55m. Phelps, the only American with a strength of more than 8.55 meters, has also been affected by injuries.

Therefore, the competition for the gold medal will be between Zhang Guan and Saladino, and other athletes can only fight for the bronze medal.

Six athletes completed the test jumps one after another. Then it was Saladino's turn.

"This is Saradino's fifth attempt! In Zai just jumped out of 8.54 meters, but it is still not as good as Zhang Guan's 8.58 meters, I hope he can have a better performance this time! ”
