Zhang Peimeng felt that Wei En had great potential. I remember when he was warming up, he said that he would be 20 meters behind Bolt. Although it is still less than 20 meters now, it is not much different.

Bolt is really fierce. Zhang Peimeng remembers that he started accelerating normally at the beginning. When he raised his head completely, he saw that Bolt had already opened up a long distance from other runners.

In 19 seconds 76, on a cloudy day with low temperatures and a wind speed of -0.8m/s, Bolt significantly refreshed the previous race record of 20 seconds. It is not known how long it will take for this record to be refreshed.

Zhang Peimeng stepped forward to express his congratulations, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it.

At this time, Bolt was surrounded by many media reporters, all the cameras were focused on him, and there were five security personnel around him to protect his safety at all times.

It was a bit shameless to ask for the camera at this time. After all, he only ran 21.46 seconds.

........

At 20:50, Wei En finally entered the stadium. Next, he and his opponents had 10 minutes to prepare. At 20:30, the men's long jump competition would begin on time.

His opponents today are:

Australian star Fabrice LAPIERRE, runner-up at the 2008 Yanjing Olympics and runner-up at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin, has a personal best of 8.19 meters;

American star Dwight PHILLIPS, the 2004 Athens Olympic champion with a personal best of 8.74 meters (-1.2m/s);

Ghanaian star Ignatius Gassah, who placed sixth at the 2004 Athens Olympics with a personal best of 8.42 meters (-0.2m/s);

Brian Johnson of the United States has a personal best of 8.33 meters (1.6m/s);

The personal best time is 8.12 meters (1.1m/s) by Australian athlete Chris Nofke;

Ukelan player Andrei Makhachev has a personal best of 8.15 meters (0.6m/s);

Christoph Stolz of Germany has a personal best of 8.09 meters (0.0m/s);

and Xu Xiongfeng with a personal best of 8.08 meters (-0.3m/s).

Originally, only Wei En was the only Chinese athlete to qualify for the Diamond League Magic City Station, but Yanjing Olympic champion Owen Saladino withdrew due to injury, so Xu Xiongfeng temporarily got the spot.

Today's list of contestants looks a bit scary. The winner of this competition, the runner-up of that competition, and in terms of PB alone, there are four famous players who are better than Wei En.

But in fact, Wayne's pressure is not that great.

First of all, the youngest of the four famous players was born in 1983. He is 27 years old this year, basically in the middle and late stages of his career.

Of course, as long as you maintain your physical condition well, you can still have a second youth at the age of 27. No one can say this.

But in the long jump event, sometimes the result depends on luck.

Like sprint events, long jump and triple jump also have wind speed regulations, but unlike sprints, which are track events, everyone in sprint events has the same wind speed, and winning or losing depends purely on physical strength.

The long jump is different because everyone jumps into the sand pit one after another, and the wind speed in the middle is different. It is possible that when an athlete jumps, there is a strong tailwind blowing on the court, but when the next athlete jumps on the court, there is a strong headwind.

.

After setting the starting point and the last six steps, the referees confirmed that all links were correct and announced the start of the men's long jump event.

For domestic track and field fans, the most concerning events today are nothing more than three: the women's 100 meters, the men's 200 meters, the men's long jump, and the men's 110-meter hurdles.

The star athletes in the first two events are Shelly-Ann Fraser and Usain Bolt, while the star athletes in the latter two events are Wei En and Liu Xiang respectively.

Wei En broke the Chinese men's 100-meter record a week ago, and he is still at an age of 17 to 18 that makes people think a lot. Coupled with his sunny and handsome face, he quickly gained a large number of fans.

CCTV naturally understands the traffic code, and ignored the women's 3000-meter obstacle and turned the camera to the long jump venue.

Yang Jian: "What everyone is seeing now is the men's long jump competition. Before the competition, China's new 100-meter flying star Wei En, who has attracted much attention before the competition, is standing next to the approach track. He will be ranked seventh for a trial jump."

"Many viewers who have watched Wei En's report may be a little confused and say - eh, how can a 100-meter athlete do the long jump? In fact, in track and field events, sprinting, long jump, and hurdles are very different.

The most common thing is that the long jump event also requires athletes to have very high absolute speed capabilities."

"And let's talk about a trivia that everyone doesn't know very well. In terms of performance level, Wei En's main event should actually be the long jump. Currently, Wei En's best time in the 100 meters is 10.14 seconds, and his best time in the long jump is 8 meters.

20.”

"These two results correspond to 1159 and 1181 points respectively in the IAAF scoring standards, so from this perspective, Wei En's long jump strength is actually stronger than the 100 meters."

"Well, the one doing the run-up right now is the Ghanaian star Gassah. He steps up and jumps. This jump should be close to 8 meters. The technical movements in the air are quite stretched... 7.83 meters, this result

It’s not particularly good, but it’s a good start.”

The next person to appear was the German player Christoph Stolz. When Gassach started to run up, he was already following him and stood at his starting point.

Su Xiongfeng, who was third in the trial jump, also stood at the end of the approach track when Gassach fell into the sand trap. It was his turn after Stoltz completed the first jump.

Stolz's first jump was not ideal. After he stepped on the pedals to take off, the referee next to the pedals immediately raised a red flag, indicating that this was a line-crossing error that could be quickly distinguished with the naked eye.

Johnson, Phillips, Su Xiongfeng and others then made their first trial jumps, but strangely, no one jumped over the 8-meter mark at one time.

The one closest to 8 meters was Ghanaian star Gassah, who jumped 7.93 meters. The rest did not jump above 7.90 meters.

"It's Wei En's turn next. This is his first jump. I hope he can get off to a good start and jump into the final circle!"

As the results of the first six opponents came out, the pressure in Wei En's heart became weaker and weaker. Although he had no impression of the final results of the men's long jump event at this station, after understanding the status of his opponents, he really felt uncomfortable now.

What kind of pressure is it?

In middle and long-distance running events, some athletes will choose a special tactic, relying on their tyrannical strength to run at the front and disrupt the rhythm of their opponents behind them.

The purpose of this tactic is to put more pressure on the opponent and make their subsequent performance abnormal.

Of course, this tactic may not work as well as the user imagines, or it may eventually backfire on him due to his opponent being too strong and his own lack of follow-up.

Wei En came to his starting point and took several deep breaths. After the referee removed the track obstacle and waved the flag, he faced the audience and applauded.

"Snapped--!"

"Snapped--!"

"Snapped--!"

The frequency of applause is getting faster and faster, more and more audiences are participating, and the momentum is getting louder and louder.

Taking two slight steps forward, Wei En began to take off.

Athletes who can also compete in the 100 meters and perform well in the 100 meters have a very big advantage over long jump athletes - they have faster absolute speed!

10 meters, 20 meters, 30 meters...

The speed continued to increase. Wei En's speed was getting faster and faster. From about 5.3m/s at 10 meters to about 9.6m/s at 20 meters, it climbed all the way. After reaching 40 meters, his speed had exceeded 10.75m.

/s!

But now comes the last four steps. Wei En must adjust his stride based on his quick judgment to ensure that he can accurately step onto the springboard.

"Wayne starts his approach, and his advantage lies in his approach speed. His technique may not be superb enough, but faster speed can also enable him to achieve excellent results."

"Pedal, take off! Beautiful push-up pose, oh - Wayne's first jump, he jumped over the 8-meter mark!"

Yang Jian in the live commentary box was already clapping to himself. He glanced at the NBC commentary box next to him. The former Trinidad and Tobago flying star, Ato, who had transformed into a professional track and field commentator.

Bolton, after seeing Wayne's performance in this jump, was not stingy with words of praise and immediately praised him.

After successfully falling into the sand pit, Wei En stood up and saw that he had jumped over the 8-meter mark in the first jump. Naturally, he was very happy. Then the referee raised the white flag, which meant that the result of this jump was valid!

"The result is valid! 8.16 meters! Wei En's first jump today was close to his personal best, and he was more than 20 centimeters ahead of Gassah, who was previously ranked first. A very good performance!"

Wei En clapped his hands and trotted back. The audience in the stands followed his cheerful steps and applauded. Young and energetic, handsome and powerful, Wei En immediately became the focus of the audience.

Immediately after Wei En made the first jump, it was Australia's LaPierre. Perhaps Wei En, who had just jumped 8.16 meters, made him feel the pressure. Although he was in good condition and jumped over the 8 meter line, he only just jumped.

It is 8.02 meters in second place.

Andrei Malchev, who jumped in the last trial, only jumped 7.54 meters, and the second and third rounds soon followed.

Wei En's second and third trial jumps were not smooth. In the second round, he stepped slightly over the line and caused a foul. In the third round, he happened to encounter a strong headwind of -1.2m/s and jumped out of 8.03 meters.

However, despite this, he successfully entered the final circle. Next, he will compete with LaPierre, who jumped 8.24 meters in the second round, and Phillips, who jumped 8.18 meters in the third round, to compete for the championship, second place, and third place.
Chapter completed!
