In the preliminary round of the 200-meter sprint, the level of players is uneven. Basically, athletes who can advance to the Olympic a standard can enter the final.
In the first group, there are two strong players, Crawford of the United States and Obic Viru of the Portuguese, of which Crawford is the defending champion of the Olympic Games for the men's 200-meter sprint. In the end Crawford advanced easily with the group first. Obik Viru retired due to injury.
In the second group that followed, there weren't too many well-known players, including Jamaican sprinter Williams, who looked like a face to Zhang Guan. But there is another person whom Zhang Guan knew, that is Japanese player Gao Pingshi. Gao Pingshi won only the fourth place in the competition. His score was 20.58 seconds. In the preliminary round, this result is very good. If there is no accident, his score is enough to allow him to get eight additional places. of.
In the third group, another Jamaican player Anderson also appeared, and successfully promoted. Kim Collins, who is more familiar with Zhang Guan, also advanced in this group. In the fourth group, American player Dicks appeared on the field. Dix, a freshman who has just graduated from college, is the only player in the US team to participate in both the 100m and 200m events. He was able to kill in the US Olympic qualifiers, and his strength is indeed very powerful.
Bolt debuted in the fifth group, this time Bolt did not show his strength, completely like coping with the game, after all, the level of the preliminaries is too low, so that Bolt can not mention the interest. In the sixth group that followed, Spearman, a 200-meter American star, also made a qualifying appearance. Spearman is a 200-meter sprinter. He once competed with Zhang Zhang in the 200-meter sprint event of the 2006 World Cup in track and field and won a silver medal. .
In the seventh group, the Japanese player Shingo made his debut. This first Asian sprinter was 28 years old. This age is a small tail for the European and American track and field athletes, but for a Japanese, it is actually a state of decline. In recent years, he specializes in 200 meters, but he only ran out of sixth place, and the result of 20.93 seconds basically bid farewell to the Olympic Games.
In the eighth group, Zhang Guan appeared in the cheers of the audience. The strength of this group of players is weak, so Zhang Guan easily took the first place in the group. Like Bolt, he does not need to show his true strength at all, just a little run is enough, and this will not reveal too much information to his opponent.
...
After the 200-meter preliminaries, Zhang Guan didn't even have time to be interviewed by reporters, he embarked on the triple jump qualifying field.
A total of 39 players competed in the triple jump. The athletes were divided into two groups, but the two groups were played at the same time. The qualification rules for the triple-jump qualifying competition are the same as those for long-jumping, with the top 12 of the total score entering the finals. From the point of view of the player's strength, if he can jump to more than 17.20 meters, he should be able to securely advance; if he jumps to more than 17.15 meters, there is great hope to advance.
Triple jump is a traditional strong project in Europe, especially the British. Its strength in this project is the best in the world. Britain has always had the tradition of triple jump. The world record for triple jump is created by the famous British long jumper, Edwards, known as the "Bird of the Century". However, after entering the new century, there has never been a dominating triple jumper like Edwards in England.
In this project, the national team sent a total of three players to participate. In addition to the Chinese team in Asian countries, only a few sporadic players participated in this project.
When it comes to the Olympics, the world’s top competition, there are very few athletes like Zhang Guan who take part in both long jump and triple jump. Although long jump and triple jump have a lot in common, they are two different items after all. In the last century, athletes have become both long jumpers and triple jumpers. After entering the 21st century, there are also some excellent long jumpers who can perform both events. However, with the continuous progress of sports, every sports event is developing in a professional and sophisticated direction, and athletes who have long jumps and triple jumps have slowly disappeared.
In the qualifier grouping, Zhang Guan was divided into group a, while the other two players of the national team were divided into group b.
There are several world top triple jumpers in the group a where Zhang Guan is located. Among the four hotspots that won the Olympic Games, three are in the group of Zhang Guan. They are the famous British triple jumper Phillips Aidu, Portuguese player Nelson Evora and Cuban player David Girat.
British star Phillips-Aduwu has been thirty years old this year, he participated in the Sydney Olympics in 2000, so this is his third time to participate in the Olympics. Aidou once jumped 17.68 meters at the 2002 Commonwealth Games. In the following years, he also frequently jumped to more than 17.50 meters. And in the first half of 2008, he once jumped out of 17.75 meters.
Portuguese player Nelson-Evora is 22 years old this year. He also achieved a good result of 17.74 meters at the Osaka World Championships last year and won the triple jump in the Osaka World Championships. In last year's IAAF Golden League, he also repeatedly achieved good results.
Cuban player David Girat is also 22 years old. He once won the triple jump event at the World Youth Athletics Championships. This year's state of Gilat is very good, and he has repeatedly made good results of more than 17.50 meters.
In addition to these three winning titles, this group also includes Russian Spasokhorsky, Romanian Oplia, and Ukrainian Kuznetsov. They are also powerful triple jumpers.
However, the promotion rules for the Olympic Games are calculated by adding up the results in groups a and b, so the effect of grouping on promotion is much smaller.
...
When Zhang Guan appeared in the sand pool run of triple jump, he immediately became the focus of attention of all contestants.
"That's Zhang Guan? How did he come? Did he go to the wrong place?" Ukrainian Kuznetsov said.
"I remember Zhang Guan participated in the long jump competition, and the results are quite good. But now it is a triple jump competition, did he remember the time of the game?" Russian Spasok Horsky said.
The next Belarusian player Gilat Niski took out a piece of paper, looked at it carefully, and said, "It turns out that Zhang Guan also participated in the triple jump event! This is written on it."
"Zhang Guan also participates in the triple jump competition? So he is both a long jump and a triple jump? This kind of player is rare now!" Spasoke Horsky continued: "But Zhang Guan participated in It’s not surprising that there are several sprint events, but also tennis, long jump and triple jump."
"I don't know what the level of Zhang Guan's triple jump? He is still very good at the long jump event. The triple jump may be very strong." Kuznetsov said.
"In addition to Zhang Guan, the Chinese team also has two contestants, which means that Zhang Guan's strength can at least reach the Olympic a target!" Pratnitsky said against the list of contestants.
"Olympic a standard!" Spassock Horsky and Kuznetsov nodded at the same time, a little dignity appeared on their expressions.
In the triple jump event, Russia and Ukraine each have three contestants, so Spasokhorsky and Kuznetsov are also Olympic a-markers. But their level is not top-notch and may be able to reach the finals, but it definitely has no chance of getting a medal. So they can feel that Zhang Guan and they may be at the same level.
"It seems that to advance to the final, there is one more opponent!" the two thought at the same time.
All three of them talk in Russian, so other non-Russian countries cannot understand what they are talking about. On the other side, Brazil's Gregrio and Portugal's Evora are also talking about Zhang Guan, they are both Portuguese-speaking countries.
"Zhang Guan is here too! I only know that he participated in the long jump competition, and I don't know if he wants to participate in the triple jump competition." Evora said with a light face, as a championship winner, entering the final for him It's a breeze.
Gregorio, who had obviously done his homework in this area, said: "The information I found here, it seems that Zhang Guan only started to participate in the triple jump this year, but his progress is very fast After only a few months of practice, I was able to jump into the Olympic a."
Gregorio's strength is between entering the finals and qualifying elimination. If he plays better, he can enter the finals, and if he plays worse, he will be eliminated, so he made sufficient preparations before the game, including consulting Information about other athletes.
Evora nodded gently, and then seemed to inadvertently ask, "So what is Zhang Guan's best score?"
"I think about it." Gregorio frowned and thought about it, and said, "I remember I checked. Zhang Guan broke the Asian record for triple jump in May, when his score seemed to be 17.37. Mi!"
"Cut! I thought how powerful it was, it was only 17.37 meters, and I jumped farther than this!" Evola pouted, obviously he did not put Zhang Guan in his eyes.
Not far away, three British players are standing together.
As the first person in the British triple jump, Aidu is naturally looking at the top.
"Triple long jump is my place. I didn't expect Zhang Guan to come back to participate. But in the competition, I will tell you with strength that you are out of bounds! With me in, triple jump is not something you can touch!" (To be continued.)
