"Is it true? I don't need to go to Singapore to participate in the competition, and the quota was directly given to me?"

On the warm-up field, Wei En learned from Chen Wenzhong the latest arrangements for him by the head coach of the national track and field team Feng Shuyong. He did not expect that one day he would be able to receive such special treatment, and he directly "decided" for two events.

Quota.

"Of course it's true. Director Feng and Director Yu both see how good you are in the 100 meters. As for the long jump, it just so happens that you can show it today and achieve a result that no one can refute." Chen Wenzhong

So said.

"Okay, let's have a good dance today."

Just as he was talking, Xie Zhenye walked into the warm-up field. He had just finished his 200-meter preliminaries and easily took first place in the group with a time of 21.58 seconds.

"Old Wei!" Xie Zhenye trotted to Wei En's side, "You're going to compete in the long jump later, right?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"Let it go~" Xie Zhenye nudged Wei En gently, pointed to a young man with "Zhejiang" printed on his chest in the distance and said: "That's my friend Huang Haibing, don't torture him too much later.

Okay?"

"I really want to give you this face, but unfortunately, I can't." Wei En shook his head.

Wei En had never heard of this athlete named Huang Haibing in his previous life, but Chen Wenzhong still had information on him.

This Huang Haibing won the junior men's long jump championship at the Asian Youth Games in Singapore last year with a score of 7.28 meters. He was 16 years old at the time.

This talent is not bad, but compared to Wang Jianan and Shi Yuhao, there is still a big gap. After all, these two talents who are favored by coach Randy Huntington have already exceeded the 8-meter mark at the age of 16.

.

The score of 7.28 meters at the age of 16 is indeed not bad at present, but it is a pity that he met Wei En.

And let alone the current Wei En, if the previous Wei En had not suffered a significant decline in strength due to injuries, he would still not be eligible for the men's long jump spot in the Youth Olympic Games.

"I didn't run well in the 100 meters yesterday, so I'm going to do a good jump today. I'm sorry." Wei En patted Xie Zhenye on the shoulder and explained forcefully.

He didn't want to let Xie Zhenye know that the quota had been decided directly on the stage. After all, this kind of thing was not very fair.

However, strength in competitive events is respected. As the head coach of the national track and field team, Feng Shuyong chose to directly assign the quota to Wei En, who ranks at the top level among young athletes. It is actually reasonable and reasonable.

"Okay, you warm up first, I'm going to rest."

Xie Zhenye said hello and walked to the Zhejiang team's rest area.

........

4 pm.

"The next thing to be held is the men's junior long jump final. Let me introduce to you the contestants in this competition. They are Zhang Lei, No. 415 of the People's Liberation Army, Hebei team..."

As usual, before the game starts, there will be an on-site commentator to introduce the basic information of the contestants. Every time an athlete's name is read, sparse applause will be heard in the stadium.

"Guangxi Team, No. 223 - Wei En!" When Wei En's name was read, the commentator's volume rose several decibels, and the audience's response was also very enthusiastic.

The silver medalist of the World Indoor Championships, Wei En's reputation as a "genius boy" has been around for more than a month. His popularity has already surpassed his opponents, so even the players from the Guangxi team account for the vast majority of the audience.

Most of the Hebei audience also gave him enough face.

After the introduction session, the contestants started their first jump in order.

Long jump is a field event in track and field. Unlike track events, which in principle only have one chance, athletes in field events have multiple opportunities to "try", and the best results are ultimately used to determine the ranking.

The long jump is also called the sprint long jump. Athletes perform a run-up on an approach track that is at least 40 meters long from the starting point to the take-off line and 1.22 meters ±0.01 wide (excluding the width of both sidelines), and then takes off on the take-off board.

Take off, complete the technical action in the air, and fall into the sand pit.

On the approach track at this time, Zhang Lei of the People's Liberation Army is about to make his first jump. You can see several markers on the ground to his left, which are placed by long jumpers to determine the starting point.

Even before the introduction session began, the athletes had already set their starting points with the markers they carried, but most of their starting points were set around 35 to 40 meters.

Among a total of 18 contestants, only three have set their starting point above 40 meters. One of them is Huang Haibing of the Zhejiang team, who set his starting point at around 43 meters.

Wei En's starting point was set at 51 meters.

"Ha——!" Zhang Lei shouted, starting from about 38 meters away and gradually accelerating.

Before reaching the first four steps of the take-off board, Zhang Lei's stride length suddenly shrank, and finally he stepped onto the take-off board with a "pop" sound, jumped with all his strength, and jumped over... the 6-meter line.

This scene made many viewers laugh out loud. Although it was a U18 event, barely jumping over 6 meters was still a bit unbearable.

Not only the audience, but also some competitors waiting for the competition on the other side of the runway also laughed when they saw this.

Wayne was wearing a pair of loose trousers on his lower body and a medium-thin hoodie on his upper body. He looked a little out of the ordinary among the players wearing short-sleeved shorts.

In fact, in mid-April, the SJZ temperature at 4 pm was quite suitable, but in order to maintain his muscle activity, Wei En still did basic work to keep warm.

Faced with the laughter of the audience and opponents, Zhang Lei, who was only 16 years old, seemed a little uncomfortable and returned to the preparation area with his head lowered, looking dejected.

Wei En stood up and walked to him, patted his shoulder and said: "Don't be discouraged. What you have to do now is to recall the details of that jump in your mind and think about why you can't jump to the ideal result. It's the starting point.

The point setting is wrong, the stride length is not stable during the approach, or there is a problem with the technical movements in the air."

"The sport of long jump seems simple, but any deviation in any detail may have a huge impact on an athlete's performance. There are still two opportunities, so seize them!"

"Ah? Well... thank you!" Zhang Lei had already lost confidence after being ridiculed by his opponents, but when he looked up and saw that the person encouraging him was Wei En, he immediately swept away the gloom in his heart.

null.

The second player started off. Perhaps he learned Zhang Lei's lesson. His approach was very conservative, but he still jumped 6.84 meters. This result is already a very good result among 16 or 17-year-old athletes.

The performance of several subsequent players varied between high and low. Some, like Zhang Lei, performed abnormally and did not jump over 6.5 meters. There were also those who performed well and nearly 7 meters. Of course, there were also those who made mistakes on the pedal and canceled the first jump.

Huang Haibing was the 12th to appear. As the junior champion of the Asian Youth Games last year, his performance can be said to be very outstanding. He jumped 7.18 meters in the first jump, ranking first in the ranking.

When encountering strong opponents, some people will perform abnormally because of the increased pressure, while others will stimulate their potential and fight hard.

The 13th player from Jiangsu Province used the push-up technique and jumped 7.13 meters with all his strength. Although he lost to Huang Haibing, judging from his extremely excited expression, he should have broken through his previous best.

Good results.
