On August 22, 2008, on the third day to the last day of the Peking Olympics, Zhang Huasong will participate in the men's 400m semi-finals and the men's pole vault finals.

There were 24 people participating in the 400m semi-finals, divided into three groups, with the top two in each group and the two with the best results among the remaining people advanced.

At 9:50 in the morning, the 400m semi-final officially began.

In the first group, the best score in personal performance is better than Zhang Huasong. The first seed player in the tournament is revealed. Jeremy Varina, the most outstanding 400-meter athlete after Michael Johnson, advanced to the final with a time of 43.95 seconds. Another player who advanced directly came from the Bahamas.

In the second group, Lashen Merritt, also from the Stars and Stripes, ranked first to advance, and another player who directly advanced from France.

The third group is the group where Zhang Huasong is!

The Stars and Stripes have always occupied a man's monopoly position of 400 meters. There is also a player from the Stars and Stripes named David Neville in the third group.

However, in comparison with Zhang Huasong, David Neville's speed seemed so slow.

At the end of the game, David Neville was several meters away by Zhang Huasong, and Zhang Huasong ranked first in the group with a huge advantage.

In the end, Zhang Huasong's run result was 43.62 seconds, which had surpassed his 43.73 seconds personal best run at Oslo in the Golden League, and was much faster than Jeremy Varina's 43.95 seconds in the first group.

Although Jeremy Varina's personal best score is better than Zhang Huasong, many people already feel that Zhang Huasong's chance of winning the championship in the 400m final of the Peking Olympics is probably even greater!

It’s really Zhang Huasong’s previous performance that was so shocking!

Every event broke the record and won the championship, which made people have to imagine that Zhang Huasong, who could break the record and win the championship in the 400-meter world!

After the 400m semi-finals, domestic and foreign media announced that Zhang Huasong once again advanced to the men's 400m final with the first place in the semi-finals, and also released a preview of the men's pole vault final at night.

This is Zhang Huasong's 7th final, which has entered a key node!

Before this Peking Olympics, Mark Spitz's 7 gold medals in a single Olympic Games created by him at the 1972 Munich Olympics in Germany was a monument that only people could look up to. Countless people think that it is an unprecedented record and will never be surpassed by others!

Especially in modern times where competition is becoming increasingly fierce and training is becoming more and more professional, it is not easy for an athlete to reach the peak of his career in a event and win an Olympic gold medal. How can he talk about 7?

Therefore, Phelps surpassed Mark Spitz and won 8 gold medals, which was called a myth, which attracted more than 300 million viewers around the world to watch the live broadcast of his match over Mark Spitz.

However, Mark Spitz's seven gold medals in a single Olympic Games are a record that has been maintained for more than 30 years and has been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Although the 7 Gold Record has passed away, it is quite admirable if anyone can get the Mark Spitz record.

In particular, when Phelps won the 7th gold medal, he only broke the Olympic record and did not break the world record.

This left enough highlights for Zhang Huasong's final tonight, attracting more viewers to watch the live broadcast!

If Zhang Huasong can break the record and win the 7th gold medal again, it seems that it can be said that Zhang Huasong is more powerful than Phelps, and not only bully Phelps with 10 participating events, there are only 8 events!

Under the expectation of countless people, night fell and the men's pole vault final was about to begin!

Before the competition began, Zhang Huasong upgraded his pole vault skills.

Zhang Huasong's previous pole vaulting skills were 6 meters, while the world record for men's pole vaulting was 6.15 meters created by Ukrainian athlete Sergei Bubka on February 21, 1993.

Therefore, in order to break the record, Zhang Huasong upgraded his skills to 6.2 meters.

Then, at 19:55 on August 22, 2008, the men's pole vault final of the Peking Olympics officially began.

The 12 finalists draw lots to decide the order of appearance, and Zhang Huasong draws the first one!

If you are other players, it is still a bit stressful to be ranked first!

But as Zhang Huasong broke the record and won the championship more and more times, he no longer had the nerve and nervousness he had when he started participating in the competition.

The number of appearances in the ranking has no effect on him! No matter how many appearances in the ranking, he will not let the championship fall!

Zhang Huasong's first appearance naturally aroused cheers from the audience, and the audience's hearts were raised from the beginning of the game!

In the front long jump, three-level long jump, and high jump finals, Zhang Huasong tried to win the championship for the first time, and broke the world record for the second time.

Zhang Huasong broke the record and won the championship in all three finals with two trial jumps, which was shocking.

So, if you try pole vault, will Zhang Huasong choose a height beyond reach to lock the championship in the first try jump, and then break the record in the second try jump?

This way of winning the championship is really domineering. Zhang Huasong's fans and many neutral audiences like it very much! Many media actually made such predictions before the start of the game, and the audience is quite looking forward to it!

Then, when the first starting height chosen by Zhang Huasong was announced, the audience immediately smiled like this and applauded.

Zhang Huasong chose 6 meters in the starting height, which is better than his personal score, and he won the 5.95 meters in the Valencia Indoor World Championships!

The height of the last Olympic Games was also 5.95 meters.

If Zhang Huasong can skip the 6-meter mark, the chance of winning the championship will be quite high!

Zhang Huasong's choice was the same as everyone guessed. He tried to lock the championship at the starting height, and then he was about to hit the record second, which made the audience very excited and stared at Zhang Huasong's game intently.

The height of 6 meters is a height that is difficult for other players to reach, but it is very easy for Zhang Huasong's system skills of 6.2 meters.

The stability of the system skills made Zhang Huasong easily skip the height of 6 meters in his first trial.

Seeing Zhang Huasong successfully crossing the 6-meter-high crossbar and landing on the mat behind, the crossbar was not led down by Zhang Huasong, warm applause and cheers suddenly erupted at the scene.

Many Zhang Huasong's fans and Chinese people shouted Zhang Huasong's name and worshiped Zhang Huasong's feat of almost winning the championship after trying to jump again.

Even the audiences, journalists, coaches, and athletes from other countries were very impressed by Zhang Huasong's 6-meter mark when he tried to jump.

Although this height cannot be said to be absolutely locked in the championship, the chance of winning is quite high.

This gold medal for men's pole vaulting has almost been taken into his hands by Zhang Huasong.
Chapter completed!
