Chapter 154 Challenge the failed game (for the fragrance of 40,000
On January 30, 2008, the South Shock Station of the China National Indoor Track and Field Championships officially began.
The high jump that Zhang Huasong participated in was carried out in the morning, the pole vault was carried out in the afternoon, and the 400m was carried out on the 31st.
Before the high jump competition started, a reporter interviewed and asked Zhang Huasong whether the sudden flight drug test of the International Anti-Doping Agency would affect his condition and whether he would not be qualified for the Olympic Games for the high jump.
Zhang Huasong confidently told reporters that he did not take stimulants and was not afraid of examinations.
Therefore, the International Anti-Doping Agency will not have any impact on his flight drug test. He will definitely qualify for his sixth Olympic Games in the high jump competition this morning.
This is Zhang Huasong's first time in Nanjing. He came with the goal of qualifying for the sixth and seventh Olympic competitions, and has attracted much attention. There is also the news that Zhang Huasong was tested for flying drugs, which made Nanjing Station's competition also full.
Many Zhang Huasong's fans wore banners supporting Zhang Huasong, saying that they believed that Zhang Huasong would not have any problems and supported him to qualify for high jump and pole vaulting Olympics and create miracles.
More than 50 people participated in the high jump this time. The referee group agreed to be a starting height of 2 meters, and the athletes' first choice of starting height must not be less than 2 meters. Then, before deciding the final championship, each lift must not be less than 2 cm until the final championship is produced.
After the championship is produced, if you want to achieve higher results, you will be allowed to increase by 1 cm and 1 cm.
In the first round of trial jump, most athletes chose a starting height of 2 meters. First, they ensure that there is an effective result. A few more powerful people chose a height of more than 2 meters.
Then, except for one of the 26 athletes before Zhang Huasong, who failed to hit the pole and wanted to make the second test jump at this height, everyone else passed the first height they chose.
Zhang Huasong appeared in 27th place, and he directly chose a height of 2.2 meters to warm up, but this is also the one who chose the highest height at the beginning of this high jump competition.
When the referee raised the crossbar to 2.2 meters and the on-site commentator introduced to the audience that the first height Zhang Huasong chose was 2.2 meters, there was a warm applause immediately, applauding for the height Zhang Huasong chose.
Because the height Zhang Huasong chose is already more than 0.1 meters higher than the starting height of other athletes, which is quite confident!
This strength has been outstanding in this national indoor competition.
Then, Zhang Huasong took a deep breath more than 20 meters in the slope of the jumping area and started running up the j-line, the faster the closer he got to the jumping area.
In the last step, Zhang Huasong kicked his legs down, his whole body jumped up, and his back was facing the crossbar, fully stretched his body, and successfully crossed the 2.2-meter-height crossbar in a back-leap manner and landed on the soft pad behind.
The live commentator shouted: "Zhang Huasong successfully crossed the height of 2.2 meters for the first time and is currently ranked first among all contestants."
The audience suddenly heard warm applause and cheers from Zhang Huasong's fans.
However, this height has not even reached the Olympic B-mark, and it is not worth celebrating.
The competition continued. In the second round, except for the athlete who failed the first round of jump to continue the second jump of the height, everyone else raised the crossbar height of more than 2 cm.
Several people raised more than 5 cm.
After the first 2.2-meter trial jump warm-up, Zhang Huasong felt that he was in good condition and had no problem in qualifying for the Olympics, so he chose the 2.27-meter Olympic b-mark.
When the live commentator introduced to the audience that the height Zhang Huasong chose was the b-mark for the Peking Olympics, everyone was immediately excited.
Zhang Huasong is about to officially start qualifying for the Olympics!
Under the attention of the audience and the live TV, Zhang Huasong ran along the j-line to the start-up area, with a smooth and natural rhythm, and then jumped over the 2.27-meter Olympic b-mark.
Suddenly, there was warm applause from the scene, and some Zhang Huasong's fans screamed.
However, this height is not enough to participate in the Olympics.
Because two athletes of the Chinese team had reached the Peking Olympic A-rail with a men's jumping 2.30 meters in other competitions, Zhang Huasong had to skip 2.30 meters to be able to qualify for the Olympics, and the b-rail is useless now.
So, in the third round, Zhang Huasong asked the referee to raise the crossbar by 2 cm to a height of 2.30 meters, and began to attack the Olympic A-mark.
Seeing that Zhang Huasong chose an altitude of 2.30 meters, everyone knows that Zhang Huasong is preparing to attack the Olympic A-level standard.
The audience and reporters, coaches, athletes, sports fans and track and field industry insiders who were following Zhang Huasong in front of the TV were all nervous.
Although two Chinese men's high jump athletes have reached the Olympic A-grade in other competitions, and now more than half a year away from the Olympics, even if Zhang Huasong skips 2.30 meters, he may not be able to win one of the three final places.
However, for now, as long as Zhang Huasong can skip this height, he is at least one of the three athletes who meet the standards.
Therefore, many people who support Zhang Huasong are both nervous and looking forward to whether Zhang Huasong can skip this height.
On the field, Zhang Huasong was also a little nervous!
Because, his high jump skill is 2.35 meters, and 2.30 meters away from his skills limit height is only 5 cm, which is quite close!
It is not impossible to perform slightly abnormally, not properly move, with a crossbar, and fail to try jump!
Speaking of which, high jump and pole vault are two different types of Olympic events.
Other events are for the purpose of winning, while high jumps and pole vaults are for the purpose of "failure".
Increase the height of the crossbar again and again, and try jumps again and again. If you skip it, it is not considered the final result, and it must be until the last test jump fails.
Therefore, on the surface, the high jump competition is not to challenge victory, but to challenge "failure".
After athletes in other events completed the competition, the audience usually applauded and cheered enthusiastically. However, after the last jump attempt failed in the high jump competition, the audience usually sighed in unison.
Therefore, high jump and pole vault are two different types in the Olympics.
Of course, no matter what, every successful jump before the last failure is still very exciting.
Zhang Huasong is now ready to hit the 2.30-meter Olympic A-level altitude!
If he jumps over, he is qualified to compete for one of the three places for long jump for the men representing the Chinese team in the Peking Olympics!
