The promotion rules for long jump competitions in the 1920s and 1930s were slightly different from those in later generations.

In the future Olympics, athletes participating in long jump competitions must first perform the qualifying round, and the top twelve places will enter the finals. In the first three trial jumps in the finals, the four worst-scored people will be eliminated, and the eight people who stay will perform the next three trial jumps to determine the final champion. In other words, there will be a 3+3 trial jump opportunity in the finals.

In the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics, more than 40 athletes participated. The rule was to jump three times in the qualifying competition, and the top six were directly promoted to the finals, and the others were directly eliminated. Each of the six players who advanced to the finals had six chances to jump, and the winner was the champion.

At the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics, there was no qualifying match, and it was directly the final. The final was also adopted with a 3+3 jump rule. After the first three jumps, the four best jumps can complete the next three jumps to compete for the final championship, while others were eliminated.

By the 1936 Berlin Olympics, the rules of promotion changed again. The top 16 in the qualifying round advanced to the finals, and the finals were also 3+3 jump rules. The six best players in the first three jumps performed the next three jumps to compete for the final championship. This rule is almost the same as in the future Olympics, but the number of promotions and eliminations is different.

...

The long jump competition is about to begin.

On the side of the field, Japanese player Tadaehiro Mianbu is warming up before the game. Beside him is another Japanese athlete, Naoto Tashima.

Naoto Tashima is only twenty years old this year. He can be regarded as the hope for the future of Japan's long jump. In the 1936 Berlin Olympics in history, Naoto Tashima won the bronze medal in the long jump and the gold medal in the triple jump, and broke the world record at that time with a score of 16 meters, perfectly replicating the performance of Tadaehiro Nanbu at the Los Angeles Olympics.

At this time, Naoto Tashima was not the future long jump master. He was just Tashihei's younger brother. When he participated in the Olympics for the first time, he was like a follower, wandering around Tashihei in the South.

The 200-meter rematch just ended. Nanbu Zhongping witnessed Chen Qiang breaking a world record with his own eyes, and his expression instantly became solemn.

"Senior Nanbu, your face doesn't seem to be very good. Didn't you have a rest yesterday?" Naoto Tashima asked with concern.

Nanbu Chukai shook his head: "I'm worried about Chen Qiang. He just broke the 200-meter world record and it seems that he is in very good shape."

"The senior from the South is too worried. Although excellent sprinters can also have excellent long jump skills, Chen Qiang has never participated in long jump competitions, so you don't have to care about him." Naoto Tashima paused and continued: "What's more, you are the world record holder of long jump sports, and you also master the world's most advanced forward long jump technology! Even if Chen Qiang has outstanding physical talent, the technical gap cannot be compensated."

While the two were talking, the referee had signaled the athletes to prepare for the game.

As the new Olympic champion and world record holder of 100-meter sprint, Chen Qiang just broke the 200-meter world record and naturally attracted much attention when he appeared in the long jump arena. Several powerful long jump athletes all cast alert eyes at Chen Qiang. They all know that those who are good at 100-meter sprint will not be too bad in long jump.

After a brief preparation, the final of the long jump event officially began.

Since he is not qualified, the players' appearance order is not ranked by results, but according to the lottery decision, Chen Qiang drew the ninth draw, which means he will make the ninth appearance.

For the twelve contestants, each of them will perform three trial jumps, and those with the top four will receive the next three trial jumps.

The first player to appear was Paul, an Argentine. He also participated in the 100-meter sprint, but was eliminated in the first round. In addition to the 100-meter sprint and long jump, he also signed up for the men's decathlon competition.

Paul only scored a score of 6.13 meters in his first attempt, which was not ideal.

According to the pre-match prediction, if you want to advance to the top four, you must jump out of a score of 7.4 meters. A score below 7 meters is completely uncompetitive.

The next two players who appeared failed, one of them failed to jump, while the other only jumped 5.75 meters.

The fourth appearance was American player Dick Barber, who immediately attracted applause from the audience.

Dick Barber walked into the running assist area and saw him running quickly, then stepped onto the springboard, then soared into the air. After a two-and-a-half-step walk-in, his feet were put together, and he drew an arc in the air, and then fell into the sand pool.

The traces in the sand pool stayed seven meters away. The surveyor immediately rushed over and measured with a ruler, and then gave a score of 7.11 meters.

"The first person who jumped over 7 meters appeared!"

The audience suddenly burst into applause, cheers and whistles spread everywhere, and the American audience was obviously very satisfied with the result.

In this era, if you can jump to more than 7 meters, you are already a world-class athlete. In the last Amsterdam Olympics, there were more than 40 contestants, and in the end, only fourteen people could jump to more than 7 meters.

Dick Barber walked off the field and waved at the audience, but his face looked unhappy. Obviously he was not satisfied with his results, and he felt that he could jump further.

Chen Qiang's face showed a relieved smile.

"Sure enough, I remember correctly. It seems that my killer move will definitely play a huge role!"

Dick Barber followed by a Mexican player, followed by Swedish player Eric Svensen.

Eric Svenson once participated in the long jump competition at the 1928 Olympics, when he won eighth place. In history, he won fourth place in the long jump event and silver medal in the triple jump event at the Los Angeles Olympics.

Eric Svensen also used a walking-style stairs. He perfectly made a two-and-a-half-step stance in the air, and then jumped out of a good score of 7.27 meters in the first jump and climbed directly to the first place.

The next appearance will be Japanese player Tadaehiro Mianbu.

"That Japanese is the world record holder of Tadaehiro Nanbu! Last year, he broke the world record of long jump with a score of 7.98 meters."

"I heard that he created a new type of jumping technology called "Stand Up" and he will definitely use it today!"

The world record holder, coupled with the new air-vacuum technology, has attracted much attention from Nanbu Tadaehiro. Whether athletes, coaches, journalists, or audiences, they want to witness what a stand-up air-vacuum looks like.

The stand-up vacation was first used by Tadhihei of the South at the 1931 Japanese sports meeting. However, since the information was mainly transmitted in text at that time, it was impossible to present a set of technical movements clearly by relying on text. At most, athletes from other countries knew that there was a new stair vacation technology, but had never seen what the stand-up vacation look like.

Nanbu Chukai broke the world record of long jump by relying on a stand-up style so that in the eyes of many people, since the stand-up style can break the world record, it must be the most advanced air-evacuation technology at that time. Athletes and coaches pay so much attention to Nanbu Chukai, but in fact they have the idea of ​​stealing their skills, hoping to learn to stand-up style from him.

I saw Nanbu Chukai walking into the running assist area. He took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing, and then started to accelerate.

Stepping onto the springboard, Nanbu Zhongping exerted force and his whole body soared into the air.

What he used was indeed a forward-looking air!

"Is this the legendary stand-up style to flee!"

"The height of the air is so high!"

"This is a more stand-up position in the air, and then use the contraction of the waist muscles to give the feet a better landing position!"

"It's a genius' idea. This set of technology is indeed the most advanced air-opening technology at present."

Everyone had different thoughts, while Nanbu Tadaehime fell into the sand pool with a surprised look.

The surveyor quickly gave the score of Zhongping, 7.45 meters. Zhongping, the Zhongping, surpassed Eric Svensen's 7.27 meters in one fell swoop and came to the first place.

"7.45 meters, so amazing. Is the advantage of standing up and taking off so much? It's so far away!"

The score of 7.45 meters is already very top-notch. After hearing this score, everyone screamed in surprise. It was natural for everyone to regard it as a crushing of the old technology by new technology.

But Nanbu Chukai shook his head, he was not satisfied with this achievement. You should know that Nanbu Chukai is controlled by the world record, and 7.45 meters away from the world record of 7.98 meters he maintained was more than half a meter away!

A long jumper jumps half a meter less than his best score, and of course he will feel dissatisfied.

Seeing the world's most advanced long jump technology with your own eyes, other athletes seemed very excited, and some people have begun to discuss the technical characteristics of standing up and taking off.

However, Chen Qiang seemed very calm. He knew the technology of standing up and flew, so he didn't find it strange to the stand up and flew that Nanbu Chukai performed.

Chen Qiang couldn't help but comment on Nanbu Zhongping's forward-looking air-elevating technology: "Nanbu Zhongping's forward-looking air-elevating technology is not much different from later generations, but the details need to be strengthened."

Next time, American player Lambert Reed, perhaps because of the 7.45-meter score of Southern Zhongpei put too much pressure on him. Lambert Reed's first jump ended with a mistake.

The subsequent contestants did not perform too amazingly until the eighth Japanese player Naoto Tashima.

Running up, jumping, and evacuation. Naoto Tashima also uses the technique of standing up and evacuation, which is obviously learned from Tadaohei of the South.

"It's a stand-up look again!"

"Have all Japanese athletes mastered this technology?"

Naoto Tashima also used the technique of standing up and flew up, which immediately attracted a lot of discussion around him. Naoto Tashima also jumped out of a score of 7.02 meters with the street standing up.

Naoto Tashima was also very satisfied with this result. After all, this was his first time participating in the Olympic Games. He did not commit a foul and successfully completed the competition. He jumped out of a score of more than 7 meters, which was already a very good performance. Moreover, he had at least two chances to try jumping next time, and he could try to jump out of a better result.

It's Chen Qiang's turn to appear next.

After watching the competitions of eight world-class players, Chen Qiang already has some understanding of the long jump of this era.

"The current long jump should be in the early stage of the development stage of strength-based technology." Chen Qiang made a secret judgment in his heart.

Long jump is one of the competitive events in the ancient Greek Olympics. In ancient Greece, athletes held a dumbbell on both mobile phones. When they jumped, they tried their best to swing forward to create a driving force that drove the body to jump ahead. When they landed, the dumbbells would swing backwards, so that the distance of the long jump could stretch forward as much as possible. Therefore, in that era, long jump was not only a movement on the legs, but also had to test the athlete's arm strength.

Modern long jump sports have roughly gone through three stages of technological development. The first stage is the original stage. This stage mainly uses finding the most suitable aerial movement after taking off as the development direction, and finally determines the three long jump postures: squatting, walking and standing up.

The second stage is the development stage of power-based technology. At this stage, sports will pay great attention to the use of power when taking off, that is, the force will be strong when taking off, and the jumping height will be very high. This technology can obtain a better vertical speed, but it will affect the performance of horizontal speed, so it has been eliminated in the future.

Starting from the 1970s, long jump entered the third stage of development, which was the development stage of speed technology. Athletes began to pay more and more attention to running speed. At this time, athletes pursued the smoothness of running and jumping, and the three key links of long jumping became high-speed running, full-speed boarding and quick leg swing to jump.

At the 1932 Olympics, a stand-up gamble just appeared, so the long jump is in the process of developing from the original stage to the power-based technology.

As a later generation, Chen Qiang naturally would not train strength-based technology, which is destined to be eliminated. He started training according to later generation standards, and directly trained the most advanced speed-based technology.

After three days of competition, Chen Qiang was considered a star in this field. When American audiences saw a Chinese athlete, the first counter was "Chen Qiang".

What's more, Chen Qiang just broke the 200-meter world record and gave three American athletes a perfect counterattack. At this time, Chen Qiang was full of popularity. As soon as he appeared on the stage, he attracted the attention of all the audience.

"Look, it's that Chinese!"

"Yes, it's him, it seems that he is called Chen Qiang, right?"

"He won the 100-meter sprint championship yesterday, breaking the 100-meter world record; he broke the 200-meter world record just now. Now he is going to participate in the long jump competition again!"

"Isn't that Chinese a sprinter? How can he participate in the long jump competition? Is he also proficient in long jump?"

"I heard that people who run fast can even jump long!"

The audience's eyes focused on Chen Qiang, and Chen Qiang deliberately took a few steps back and then started to start.

The reason why I take a few steps back is to extend the running distance. The speed-based technology of long jump requires faster running speed, and naturally requires a longer running distance.

"Chen Qiang's running speed is so fast!"

All other athletes were shocked.

However, what really surprised them was still behind. Chen Qiang stepped onto the springboard and then tried his best to get into the air. His body made a move to stand up in the air.

"Stand up and flew into the air!" Someone couldn't help but exclaim.

Naoto Tashima widened his eyes in surprise, and he could not believe the scene he saw in front of him.

Chen Qiang can actually use the technology of standing up and fleeing!
