Chapter 130 Don’t be arrogant when you win, don’t be discouraged when you lose (Water)
Wayne lost.
In the men's long jump final on the evening of September 2, Wei En failed to continue his "Daegu Miracle" and lost to defending champion Dwight Phillips.
The level of the men's long jump finals at this World Championships is not too high, but it is not low either. The top eight were all above 8.20 meters, the top six were all over 8.25 meters, and the top four were all over 8.30.
rice.
As for the three players who won medals: Dwight Phillips (USA), Wayne (China), and Mitchell Watt (Australia), their results were slightly inferior to those in the previous two World Championships.
Phillips appeared very early. In the first three rounds, he was ranked third in the order of trial jumps. However, the defending champion gave all the competitors a disastrous performance in the first round of trial jumps.
8.31 meters!
The first jump was 8.31 meters, which made many players present feel the pressure. As a result, after the first round of trial jumps, 5 of the 12 players had their results invalidated due to fouls.
Wei En's first jump was a bit poor, only jumping 8.20 meters, which made him quite dissatisfied.
Under high pressure, players frequently made mistakes, but some players "exploded" as a result.
Christian Reif of Germany jumped 8.19 meters in the first jump, and Makusa of Zimbabwe jumped 8.29 meters. Wei En felt that their first jump was most likely forced by Phillips because their
The first jump is their final score.
Just when some athletes were upset because of the mistakes in the first round of trial jumps, Phillips brought another bolt from the blue, the second trial jump - 8.42 meters!
Faced with such high pressure, some people are stuck in the "Behemoth Barrier" and cannot continue to improve, while others resist the pressure and win applause.
Mitchell Watt, who followed Phillips in fourth place in the trial jump order, may have been influenced by Phillips and seriously committed a cross-line foul in the first round, but he withstood the pressure in the second jump.
Jumped 8.33 meters, temporarily ranking second.
Wei En's second jump was quite satisfactory, ranking fourth at 8.25 meters.
After the second round of trial jumps, all the contestants except Wayne "let themselves go". Phillips' third trial jump was very casual and he had no results due to a foul. His fourth trial jump was simply given up.
.
Except for Wei En, the other players did not continue to improve after entering the fourth and fifth rounds after achieving their best results in the first three rounds.
Wei En seemed to be the only normal person in the competition. His first jump was 8.20 meters, he was safe, his second jump was 8.25 meters, and his third jump was 8.24 meters, ranking among the top eight and entering the finals.
In the fourth round, Wei En jumped 8.35 meters to the second position, but Phillips did not feel the pressure at all, and the fifth jump was still a foul.
Then Mitchell Watt also committed a foul, and his score was temporarily fixed at 8.33 meters.
Wei En felt that this was an excellent opportunity, so during his fifth trial jump, he jumped 8.43 meters with all his heart and soul.
I originally thought I had successfully defeated Phillips, but I didn’t know that this veteran born in 1977 was really experienced. He did not panic at all when facing Wei En’s challenge, and regained the top spot with a time of 8.45 meters.
In the last jump, Wei En was a little anxious. Although he seemed to have performed very well and it looked to the naked eye that he had jumped over the 8.5-meter mark, it was a pity that he stepped on the line.
3.2 centimeters. If he could go back just a little bit, he might still be able to narrowly beat Phillips in the final result.
Speaking of which, this was the first time that Wayne had tasted failure in the long jump event, and the one who defeated him was a veteran who would turn 34 in one month.
However, Wei En is not sad or depressed. After all, at his age, it is surprising enough to win a silver medal at the World Championships, let alone a gold medal in the men's 100-meter gold medal, which is extremely valuable.
It doesn't matter if he fails once. He is still young anyway. He will have plenty of opportunities at the London Olympics next year and the World Championships in Mexico the year after that!
------------------
After winning the silver medal in the long jump final, Wei En quickly devoted his energy to the relay event.
The preliminaries and finals of the men's 4x100m relay are both scheduled on the evening of September 3. The preliminaries are at 19:00 Seoul time, and the finals are at 21:00, with a two-hour break in between.
However, before the relay competition, Wei En also took the time to watch the finale on the evening of September 2nd - the men's 200m final.
Six days have passed since he was sent off for jumping the gun in the men's 100-meter final. Bolt stood on the stage of the 200-meter final with endless anger, but this time the situation was slightly different.
Wei En remembered that in his previous life, Bolt was assigned lane 3 in the men's 200m final in Daegu, and finally ran 19.40 seconds to win the championship.
But when Bolt came on the field, Wynn found that he was actually assigned to lane 5, and the lane 3 he was supposed to be in was Nick Ashmead, who is also from Jamaica.
The 3rd and 5th tracks seemed to be just different levels, but Wei En knew that these two levels were hugely different for Bolt.
As seen in the previous scenes, Bolt started very quickly after firing the gun, and quickly surpassed Lemaitre, who was in lane 6 and had weak forward ability.
After 50 meters, Bolt strode into a meteoric stride. The huge left-right bias force gap caused by scoliosis became his "magic weapon" for winning in the curve area.
In the 100-meter event, although Bolt has run 6.31, 6.32, and many times within the first 60 meters of 6.40, in terms of overall data, he is still an extreme late-range athlete.
But when it comes to the 200-meter event, Bolt has become a "prospective" athlete. Thanks to the solution of "congenital physiological defects" such as scoliosis, Bolt has a unique bending ability!

Michael Johnson's world record, the front/rear 100-meter split data at that time was 9.96 9.34.
This is also the first time in the history of 200 meters that the first 100 meters has broken into 10 seconds.
A few days later, in the men's 4x100m relay final of the Yanjing Olympics, Bolt, who served as the third leg of the Jamaican team, put on an ultimate visual performance, directly hitting the first record in the history of the third leg of 8.98.
8.98, this is also the only time in the history of the 4x100m relay that the third leg segment data exceeded 9.00, which shows how terrifying Bolt's cornering ability is.
But this time, from lane 3 to lane 5, Bolt once again came out with full firepower and once again scored 9.96 in the first 100 meters, and finally defended his title with a record of 19.37 seconds, fourth in history.
After the awards ceremony for the men's 200 meters, all the events and award arrangements for the Daegu World Championships on September 3 have come to an end, and tomorrow, September 4, will be the final competition day of this World Championships.
As of 24:00 on September 3, the Chinese track and field team is temporarily ranked sixth in the medal list of the Daegu World Championships with 3 gold medals and 3 silver medals.
However, England are chasing closely. Their medals are 1 gold, 3 silver and 1 bronze. On September 4th, Mo Farah, who is bound to win the men's 5000m gold medal, will make his debut. In addition, Phillips IDOWU is also very good in the men's triple jump.
Competitiveness.
If Mo Farah and Phillips IDOWU both win a gold medal respectively, then the Chinese team will be squeezed to seventh place in the medal list by the English team.
During the meeting in the evening, a big boss from the General Administration of Sports sent a notice from China: If the national track and field team can still maintain its top six rankings in the medal list when the World Championships end, the funds for winter training at the end of the year and next year’s Olympics will increase.
