(ps: the title is indeed two "*" signs, not a river crab)

Su Xiongfeng and Li Jinzhe, one born in 1986 and one born in 1989, are currently the top male long jump athletes in the country. Their personal best results are:

Su Xiongfeng, 8.27 meters, March 11, 2010, Jinling Station of the National Indoor Track and Field Championships; best outdoor result - 8.11 meters, May 8, 2010, IAAF Osaka Grand Prix.

Li Jinzhe, 8.18 meters, Jinan National Games on October 22, 2009.

These are Wei En's two main opponents today. It can't be said that the other players are not of concern. It can also be said that they are no threat at all.

At 15:20 pm on August 7, Wei En and his long jump final opponents appeared one after another at the Jinan Olympic Sports Center Stadium.

In the Noda stadium, which can accommodate 56,000 people, the occupancy rate exceeds one-third. Since the beginning of the 21st century, this is still very rare in the history of the not-so-popular National Track and Field Championships.

It would be okay if today's finale was the men's 100-meter final, but let alone the men today, there is not even the women's 100-meter final. The fact that we can still have such an attendance rate must have something to do with the athletes who are going to appear.

Liu Xiang did not participate, so who would this person be?

"Wayne——!"

"Wayne——!"

"Wayne——!"

The audience at the scene has already told the world the answer with their warmest cheers.

In the stadium, in addition to banners supporting teams from various provinces and cities, there are also occasional fans of athletes who spontaneously come to the scene to form teams and watch the games.

But looking at it, the supporters holding banners in the name of Wei En are completely overwhelmed compared to the supporters of other athletes in terms of numbers.

Liu Xiang is not here, Wei En is king!

This is Yang Jian's joking name for this phenomenon in the commentary box, but it also illustrates very intuitively how popular Wei En is now.

"Okay, welcome to CCTV Sports Channel. I am your old friend Yang Jian. I will continue to give you live commentary and commentary today."

"The next thing to be held is the finals of a men's long jump event that has received relatively little attention in the past, but suddenly became popular today. As for why this event suddenly became popular, I believe everyone will understand when they see that tall and handsome figure.

Already."

"After winning the men's 100-meter championship at 17:00 yesterday afternoon and breaking the national 100-meter record again, Wei En will attack for his first national championship long jump gold medal today."

"In the domestic long jump event, it may be difficult for Wei En to find an opponent, but the strength of Su Xiongfeng, Li Jinzhe and others cannot be underestimated. Before the dust settles, anything is possible!"

The game hadn't even started yet. After Wei En set the starting point and the last six steps, he went to the sidelines and Chen Wenzhong across the railing, chatting about the precautions for the game, while interacting with the nearby spectators and fans from time to time.

At first, the audience was quite normal, they just shouted cheers a few times, but later, I don’t know which sister or aunt was the first to start, and suddenly everything became chaotic.

"Wei En, my daughter is a fan of yours. She is so beautiful. Come on, come on~ I will show you her photo, what do you think? I will give you her QQ number and you two can chat, okay?

"

"Ah ah ah ah, Wei En, I love you! I want to give birth to a monkey for you!

"

Wei En was a little "flattered". The beautiful sisters and aunts were so enthusiastic. A young man like him couldn't stand it, so he might as well pretend not to hear anything.

"Wayne, I love you too!"

A deep and loud confession came from behind, and Wei En suddenly trembled, turned around and cursed angrily: "Go away! I don't like men!

"

"Hahahahahaha——"

The nearby auditorium was suddenly filled with joyful air.

The game started soon.

The first person to perform a trial jump was Sichuan player Yang Kai, who had competed with Wei En at the World Youth Championships in Moncton. Yang Kai continued his excellent performance in the semifinals, jumping 7.73 meters in the first jump.

Although this result is not competitive in the competition for medals, it is already a very good performance for Yang Kai at this stage. After all, it is only 1 centimeter away from his personal best.

Yang Jian: "Let's take a look at the men's long jump final. The one who is about to make his first trial jump is Su Xiongfeng of the Hubei team. He is the holder of the Asian indoor men's long jump record and is also the most likely opponent of Wei En to win the championship.

A player who poses a threat.”

"Okay, Su Xiongfeng starts running. Let's see if he can perform well in his first jump?"

"Get on the board and take off! Beautiful -! This jump went directly to 8 meters away. After the Osaka Grand Prix in May, he did not appear in the Diamond League Magic City Station and several Asian Grand Prix in India.

Jumping over the 8-meter mark, I didn’t expect that the first jump today would give us a surprise!”

At 8.07 meters, Su Xiongfeng got off to a good start, and Wei En, who was still waiting in the preparation area, couldn't help but applaud him.

There is no point in simply crushing the game. Rather than stand out, he hopes that Su Xiongfeng and Li Jinzhe can burst out with stronger strength under their own pressure, so as to make the game more competitive and enjoyable.

In the subsequent two jumps, Zhao Xi of Shandong Taishan Sports and Yun Zhiming of Hubei Team, although not as capable as Su Xiongfeng of jumping over the 8-meter mark, still jumped 7.89 meters and 7.87 meters respectively, and performed quite well.

"Let's look at Li Jinzhe again. He was the runner-up in last year's National Games. At the Diamond League Eugene Station on July 3, he jumped 8.12 meters and created his own personal best. 8.12 meters won this stage.

He should be able to win a medal stably, but can he perform at his high level?"

Li Jinzhe's expression is extremely serious. He is 1.93 meters tall. Although his muscles are not as strong as Wei En due to his special long jump, he still looks tall and tall.

He is used to wearing a sleeve on his right arm. He looks tough and slightly domineering. After receiving the signal from the referee at the starting point, he calmly led the audience to applaud and beat the rhythm.

After everything was ready, he raised his right hand to the level of his eyebrows, looked forward resolutely, and then started to run.

Li Jinzhe has focused on the long jump since he received professional training in 2007. Therefore, compared to an athlete like Wei En who also performs short jumps, his development idea is to maximize his skills. His top speed is not fast enough, but his speed conversion rate is not.

Very high.

This has always been a characteristic of China's long jump athletes, who focus on technical training and ignore the improvement of absolute speed.

But no matter what, Li Jinzhe's strength is still very strong.

"Look at Li Jinzhe's first jump. If you can get a good result on the first jump, it will be crucial to building subsequent confidence!"

"Li Jinzhe - beautiful! Another jump of 8 meters, and it seems to be further than Su Xiongfeng. I guess I have to go above 8 meters."

Wei En once again gave his applause. This game is really getting more and more interesting. At least from the current point of view, whether it is the top domestic players like Su Xiongfeng and Li Jinzhe, or the top domestic players like Zhao Xiaoxi and Yun Zhiming, or

The new generation like Yang Kai performed well in today's final.

This is a good sign. Although no one can refresh their personal best yet, at least the start is smooth.

"The PLA player Yu Zhenwei will appear next. His personal best is 8.12 meters set at the Asian Grand Prix in Bangalore on June 5. The previous players have performed very well. Let's see if Yu Zhenwei can continue.

This fiery atmosphere..."

"8.16 meters! Audiences, the first new personal record was born in today's men's long jump final. Yu Zhenwei from the People's Liberation Army, he improved his personal best by 4 centimeters!"

"This time, the pressure is on Wei En. Although we know that Wei En is very outstanding, the players in front of him are performing better than the other. If he cannot achieve a convincing result, the audience present may be a little disappointed.

of."

Wei En didn't know what Yang Jian said at this time. What he was thinking about now was a brand new technical movement - walking style.

The technical movements of long jump can be divided into three types: crouching, standing, and walking.

The difficulty of these three techniques is advanced in order. The squatting posture is suitable for newcomers who practice long jump. When Wei En entered the school team training from junior high school, he was exposed to the push-up posture.

Although the push-up style is represented by the former Soviet star Robert Amy Young, who has a PB of 8.86 meters, in general the walking style is still better than the push-up style. Wei En is now moving towards the world's top long jumper, walking

The footwork may not be absolutely suitable for him, but it's always a good idea to give it a try.

So Wei En decided to try the walking long jump in the top domestic competition such as the National Track and Field Championships!

"Here it comes, Wei En's first trial jump. Let's see what kind of surprise he will bring us? Get on the board, get up..." Yang Jian's tone after seeing Wei En's flight trajectory clearly

It was like riding a roller coaster, going from excitement to weakness in an instant.

"Hiss... Wei En shouldn't have jumped this time. The pace of his approach was correct, and he didn't make any mistakes when stepping on the pedals. How come... he didn't even jump 8 meters?"

In his opinion, Wei En's failure to jump 8 meters was already an "upset" given Wei En's strength. This led to Yang Jian not even noticing Wei En's change of flying technique at the first time.

The result of this jump is valid, but it is only 7.68 meters. Not to mention compared with Li Jinzhe and Yu Zhenwei, even Yang Kai's result is better than him.

But other players on the field did not show any joy after seeing Wei En's result.

As the number one short jumper in the country, the technical details of Wei En's movements have long been known to countless athletes, and coaches have begun to study them. They are all first-class or even top long jump athletes in the country, how could it be possible that Wei En has changed his technical movements?

Can't you see it?

Therefore, the seven players on the field at this time knew very well that Wei En was treating the finals of the National Championships as a testing ground for his new technologies.

In the last trial jump of the first round, Zhuang Haitao of the Zhejiang team jumped 7.88 meters, a personal best of the season.

The second round of test jumps begins...

Sichuan team, Yang Kai - foul.

Hubei team, Su Xiongfeng - 8.17 (0.5m/s) meters, a new personal best!

Shandong team, Zhao Xiaoxi - 7.98 (0.0m/s) meters, a new personal best!

Hubei Team, Yun Zhiming - 8.03 meters, only 1 centimeter away from his personal best of 8.04 meters!

Yanjing team, Li Jinzhe - 8.15 meters, only 3 centimeters away from his personal best.

People's Liberation Army, Yuzhenwei - 8.08 meters, although it has not continued to improve, it is still a good result.

Guangxi team, Wei En - 8.01 meters.
To be continued...
