Win two gold medal each day

At 8.70 meters, Zhang Guan once again refreshed the best result of the year, and this result is also the best long jump result in ten years.

"8.7 meters, we won! We won! Zhang Guan! Zhang Guan!" The narrator shouted almost at the same time as Director Sun. After a few seconds, the two gradually calmed down, and the narrator began to say, "It is difficult to imagine! Zhang Guan jumped to the 8.7-meter mark! This is 0.08 meters more than the record at the track and field World Cup more than two months ago! The long jump event reached this level of competition. Every 0.01 meters forward is extremely difficult, and Zhang Guan suddenly improved his score by 0.08 meters! In my impression, it seems that only the world record holder Mike Powell of the long jump event and the legendary flying man Carl Lewis can achieve this result!"

Director Sun is more professional than the narrator, he said, "The last 8.7-meter performance dates back to 1993, which was created by world record holder Mike Powell, and then in 1994 and 1995 the American athlete Wald and the Cuban athlete Pedroso also jumped beyond 9.7 meters, but after that, no athlete can jump to 8.7 meters. It can be said that this is the best result in the eleven-year long jump event."

Director Sun took a deep breath, and then said, "Now we can announce that Zhang Guan won the men's long jump event at the Doha Asian Games! This 8.7-meter result, no one can surpass in this world!"

For Director Sun, this sentence is full of confidence, as if he was stating a fact, and he is indeed stating a fact.

The game was not over yet, but the athletes around came forward one after another to celebrate with Zhang Guan, and the referee also knew the current situation and suspended the game.

The lens gave Ben Mazuk a close-up, and Ben Mazuk, who had just gotten angry, was already in despair.

Despair! Real despair!

8.7 meters, not only is it beyond the scope of Ben Mazuk's ability but also beyond his imagination. Even if Ben Mazuk's coach was world record holder Mike Powell, he never imagined that he could jump to 8.7 meters.

"8.7 meters! I can't surpass it in my life! It turns out that Zhang Guan's strength has been so strong, it seems that Walid is right, maybe in Zhang Guan's eyes, we are all just jumping beam clowns." Ben Mazuk sighed silently.

...

Coach Mike Powell sighed too, knowing that he can no longer get a huge coaching contract for the next two years.

"I didn't expect that since our generation retired, there could still be such a great athlete in the world! The key is that he is only twenty years old this year, far from reaching the golden age of a long jumper, maybe the future Zhang Guan can surpass the peak period! Even if not, at least in the next ten years, he will rule the entire long jump project!" Coach Powell sighed abruptly, he suddenly felt like he could not continue to eat the coach's dinner.

Coaches such as Powell are generally unaffordable, and people are willing to spend money to hire Powell for vocational education. The rich tyrants asked Powell to teach, certainly not for him to get a runner-up, if there is no championship, Powell is equivalent to having no value.

However, the emergence of Zhang Guan made Powell feel that perhaps he would not be able to teach a disciple who could surpass Zhang Guan within ten years. If he had won second place but failed to win the championship, his value as a coach would be infinitely reduced.

"Perhaps I should pause for a while, instead of working as a coach, I can learn from Johnson, and it's good to be a guest commentator!" Powell's mind has already begun to plan for his future.

...

After a few minutes, the game continued and Ben Mazuk played his fifth test jump.

However, Zhang Guan's 8.7-meter score has destroyed Ben Mazuk's confidence. As a result, this time when he tried to jump, he didn't even make the most basic walking movements, and there were many low-level mistakes. The final score was not even seven meters.

The next final round of test jumps became more of a competition where athletes fought for honor. Zhang Guan ranked first, and had a score of 8.7 meters, which is not surpassable; Ben Mazuk, who ranked second, had a score of 8.42 meters. Although this result is not as abnormal as Zhang Guan, at the level of these contestants on the spot it is also difficult to match.

The third-placed Al Shaba scored 8.18 meters. There are probably two or three of the remaining athletes who can reach this distance, but at this time only the last test jump is left, and the possibility of a reversal score is not very likely.

After the top five athletes were adjusted in sequence, the long jump finals in the Asian Games in Doha have been determined, for Zhang Guan, everyone knows he is first, so there is only suspense for the second place between the two Saudi athletes.

Although Al Shaba tried his best in the last jump, he still did not surpass Ben Mazuk. Then Zhang Guan gave up the sixth test jump, and then Ben Mazuk also chose to give up the sixth test jump.

At this time, Ben Mazuk's mentality was already on the verge of collapse. From the fifth trial jump just now, it can be seen that a lot of low-level mistake occurred. Now that Ben Mazuk has no intention of playing, he directly chose to give up.

"Ben Mazuk gave up the game! We congratulate Zhang Guan, this is the first gold medal he won in this Asian Games, and his first gold medal in the Asian Games!" The commentator seemed very calm when Zhang Guan jumped out of the 8.7 meters, the commentator had already vented a lot of excitement, so at this moment, he was just reading off a script.

The commentator went on to say, "But spectators who want to continue to appreciate Zhang Guan game please do not go away. Two hours later, Zhang Guan will participate in the men's 800m preliminaries, and at 11:30, Zhang Guan will also appear in the men's 100m sprint event. I believe Zhang Guan will get another gold medal."

...

The number of participants in the 800-meter middle-distance race is similar to that of the 1500-meter middle-distance race. The personnel composition is also very similar. The average middle-distance runners are both 800m and 1500m, so most of the athletes who participated in the 1500m preliminaries yesterday appeared in the 800m preliminaries today.

The first 100 meters of the 800-meter starting stage will be run in separate lanes, so each game can only accommodate eight athletes. Therefore, the 800-meter preliminaries are one more than the 1500-meter preliminaries, but the competition between athletes is more brutal. The same number of contestants can have twelve promotion places at 1500 meters, while there are only eight promotion places in the 800 meters.

In the third 800m preliminaries, the top two in the group and the top two in the other two will advance to the finals the day after tomorrow, and the grouping of athletes becomes more important. For the strong athletes, it is good to be able to be assigned to the weaker group and get the first two places to advance directly compared to being assigned to the stronger group to fight for a third place, this is an advantage when comparing the results.

Zhang Guan's luck was very good and was divided into a group with weak overall strength, and promotion was not a problem for him.

In the middle- and long-distance running events, Zhang Guan's height and weight become burdensome. He consumes more physical energy than other athletes. Therefore, the longer the distance of the game, the smaller Zhang Guan's advantage is, and vice versa. 800 meters is less than half the distance of 1500 meters. Zhang Guan's physical strength consumption will be less than half under the "following run" situation, which means Zhang Guan's 800 meters strength is stronger than 1500 meters.

However, due to the weaker overall strength of this group of athletes, his speed must be relatively slow. The speed of Zhang Guan's follow-up depends on the speed of the athlete in front. If the former athlete runs slowly, Zhang Guan naturally runs slow, so in the end, although Zhang Guan was the first in the group, his performance was not so impressive.

After an hour's rest, the highlight of today's game, the men's 100-meter sprint battle officially started.

In any track and field event, the 100-meter sprint battle is the main event, but today's 100-meter sprint battle made the audience bored because the level gap between athletes was too large.

Zhang Guan is the world record holder and has run into 9.7 seconds, and the best results of the remaining athletes are only within ten seconds, which has a difference of more than 0.3 seconds! In the men's 100m race, at the last moment of the game, the athlete's speed is the fastest, there will be a gap of more than five meters in 0.3 seconds, such a large gap in the 100m race, it can be said that this game will have no suspense at all.

So Zhang Guan easily won his second Asian Games gold medal. Saudi athlete Habebe won the runner-up in the 100-meter sprint, while the third runner-up was taken away by Japan's Rising Star Tsukahara.

...

On this day, the National Athletics Team won more than one gold medal. The track and field team also won quite a few other events. For example, the women's shot put had the top two and the women's marathon won the gold medal. On this day, nine gold medals were produced on the track and field, and the national team won four of them in one sentence, so on the return bus, the team members were full of happiness and laughter. As the leader of the team, the Deputy Leader Luo is also happy.

"Our record is quite good today, and all the gold medals that we should have won were won by us." Director Ma said.

"Yeah, especially Zhang Guan, he looks good! To be honest, when the Saudi Arabian jumped 8.42 meters, I squeezed sweat for Zhang Guan!" Director Luo said with a smile.

Director Ma lowered his voice and said, "According to the schedule, tomorrow is the 1500m final. What if Zhang Guan wins the championship? What if he wants him to run the middle distance in the future? What should we do if he returned with six gold medals, and now he has already got two, and he is still short of four medals."

"If you didn't say anything I would have forgotten about this thing!" Director Luo nodded silently, "From the state that Zhang Guan showed today, maybe he can win the 1500m championship. Fortunately, who would think that he won too many gold medals!"

"What about running in the middle? Let him continue to participate in the future?" Director Ma asked.

Director Luo spread his hands and said roughly, "You can't ask me about this matter. You have to ask Director Qu. Let him have a headache..."
