Chapter 180 Conquest(1/2)

There is only one athlete left on the field, so there is no need to improve the height according to the three centimeter rule. Chen Qiang can choose a height according to his own wishes.

2.08 meters is a new world record, so Chen Qiang directly chose this height.

"Chen Qiang is going to challenge the world record!" People's eyes hit Chen Qiang again.

Although Chen Qiang has won the Olympic gold medal in the long jump event, the competition has not ended yet, or Chen Qiang's competition has just begun.

Chen Qiang's back-to-Britain technique is not about opponents like Guney Johnson and Dave Albriton, but about the world record of high jump.

The 2.08-meter crossbar has been placed, but the referee did not urge Chen Qiang. After all, this is challenging the world record, and the referee will give the athletes more time.

The scene was quiet, and everyone held their breath and looked at Chen Qiang. If it were a German athlete, rhythmic applause might have sounded in the audience at this time.

Guney Johnson and Dave Albriton both had a hint of nervousness on their faces, because the 2.07-meter world record was maintained by both of them. After the Olympic defeat, the title of the world record holder became their only prop to keep their decent.

"No, he can't break the world record!" Gunie Johnson looked at Chen Qiang with a burning expression. He had lost the Olympic champion and he didn't want to lose the honor of the world record holder.

At this time, Chen Qiang also started running up. Like the previous few trial jumps, he still had an arc running up with a back-by-win high jump.

This time, the goddess of luck did not stand on Chen Qiang's side. His upper body crossed the crossbar, but unfortunately his lower body touched the crossbar.

"I knew that Chen Qiang failed, and I knew that the world record would not be so easy to break!" Jesse Owens murmured to himself.

Guney Johnson and Dave Albretton also breathed a sigh of relief. Chen Qiang failed this time and their world record was temporarily saved.

Chen Qiang shook his head and got up from the mat, but he was recalling the shortcomings in the trial jump just now.

"The legs swing speed can be faster when jumping, and the body can be stretched a little earlier..." Chen Qiang made a summary in an instant, and then he immediately walked to the running-up area and prepared for a second try jump.

The referee still did not urge Chen Qiang, but waited for Chen Qiang to prepare for a second try jump.

Chen Qiang was not prepared for too long. He stood in the running-up position, adjusted his breathing several times, and then started running-up again.

This time, Chen Qiang adjusted his technical actions and corrected all the things he had not done well before.

After a fast and rhythmic run-up, Chen Qiang came to the crossbar again. He jumped up, crossing the crossbar one after another, and completed the whole set of movements neatly.

However, no one paid attention to how Chen Qiang's technical movements were completed. Everyone's eyes were staring at the very crossbar, wanting to know if the crossbar would fall.

One second, two seconds, three seconds... the crossbar is still motionless.

Finally, the referee raised the white flag, marking Chen Qiang's successful jump!

"He succeeded! A new world record!"

There were a burst of marvelous cry and some messy applause from the audience around him. Although no one cheered for Chen Qiang, this time the applause was obviously much bigger than before.

Guney Johnson opened his mouth slightly, but his expression turned into a walking dead again.

Losing the Olympic gold medal was already a big blow to Gunie Johnson. Fortunately, the title of world record holder was still worn on him, which gave him a little comfort. However, now, even the title of world record holder has been taken away by Chen Qiang.

"Did you see it? That Chinese just broke the world record of high jump! Is he going to copy the last Olympics and break the world record of multiple events in succession?"

"If Jesse Owens hadn't broken the world record of long jump, then he would be the one who jumped the highest and the one who jumped the farthest in the world now!"

"Don't forget that he used new high jump technology, that strange arc running-up, and the jumping method with his back to the crossbar. Now it seems that this should be the most advanced high jump technology in the world!"

"Yes, a technology that can break world records is definitely the most advanced high jump technology in the world."

"What a great guy, he has developed a new technology."

While people were marveling at Chen Qiang’s breaking world record, they were also marveling at Chen Qiang’s new technology.

At this time, all the high jumpers present looked at Chen Qiang intently. They hoped that Chen Qiang could jump again and see this new technology clearly. If they could steal the lesson from it, it would be great.

Chen Qiang did not disappoint these athletes, he reported another number to the referee: "2 meters 09!"

The referee nodded. He had already expected that Chen Qiang would continue to challenge the new world record.

In this case, as an athlete, as a heavyweight competition, as long as he does not fail three trial jumps, he will inevitably continue to challenge the next level.

The crossbar was lifted to 2.09 meters, and Chen Qiang stood in the running assist area again.

The audience was silent again, and everyone looked at Chen Qiang with a nervous look on their faces. They didn't know if Chen Qiang could cross a new world record again.

Chen Qiang took a deep breath, but his mind was repeatedly simulating the technical movements he should do next, and then constantly reminding the technical points he should pay attention to.

Finally, Chen Qiang was ready, and he took a step and ran towards the crossbar not far away.

Running up, jumping, stretching, Chen Qiang flew over the crossbar.

After landing, Chen Qiang did not get up immediately, but looked at the crossbar with his head raised.

Perhaps because of the vibration of the landing, Chen Qiang vaguely felt that the two vertical rods supporting the horizontal rod seemed to have shaken, but the horizontal rod was still firmly staying in its original position.

Chen Qiang succeeded at a height of 2.09 meters!

"He succeeded, and the world record was refreshed by him!"

This time, the applause in the audience became louder, and some cheers and whistles appeared faintly.

Those high jumpers looked at Chen Qiang with a passionate look. In the trial jump just now, these high jumpers more or less understood the characteristics of some of the Journey-like techniques, but everyone has different understandings and learning abilities, and the degree of understanding is also different. But it is certain that each of them hopes that Chen Qiang can jump again.

"Did you see clearly that kind of technique with your back to the crossbar?"

"I saw it clearly, and there were several technical points, but I didn't see it clearly."

"It's okay, Chen Qiang will definitely jump down."

"If Chen Qiang succeeds in his attempt to jump, then he will be the first human to jump to the 2.10th mark!"

Sure enough, Chen Qiang reported the referee a height of 2.10 meters.

This time, Chen Qiang's preparation time was longer. For him, 2.10 meters was already a bit difficult.

The referee still did not urge Chen Qiang. As the referee of the high jump athlete, he also hoped that a new world record could be born in front of his eyes. This kind of experience is not something that everyone will have. If Chen Qiang could skip 2.10 meters again today, it would be equivalent to Chen Qiang breaking the world record three times in a row, which is enough for the referee to go back and play for the rest of his life.

Perhaps because Chen Qiang had been preparing for a long time, the atmosphere at the scene seemed particularly solemn. Everyone looked at Chen Qiang with a breath of breath and concentrating. The nervousness also permeated from the arena to the stands and poured into the hearts of the audience.

...

Kohler returned to the arena with a popcorn. He had just walked out of the passage and suddenly felt a little quiet inside. The next second, he also felt the tense atmosphere.

"What's going on?" Kohler looked at the arena and happened to see Chen Qiang who was preparing to run.

"Is the high jump competition not over yet?" Kohler shook his head, then walked towards his seat.

"Sorry, let me give it, thank you..." Kohler shuttled through the audience.

It was at this moment that Chen Qiang started running.

From running up, to jumping, to landing, it only took a few seconds, and Kohler only took a few steps away.

"Ao!" A shout suddenly sounded beside Kohler, which scared Kohler's body trembled, and the popcorn in his hand sprinkled out.

Kohler turned his head and looked at the source of the sound. A bearded spectator behind him was cheering for Chen Qiang on the field.

Kohler turned his head and looked at the field again, but saw Chen Qiang completing this trial jump.

"He actually cheered for a Chinese. Is his head rusted? We are noble Germans!" Kohler said in his heart.

However, the next second, more cheers sounded from all directions, and at the same time, there were endless applause.

"What's going on? He's just a Chinese. Even if he's successful jump, what can he do? That's not worth our cheering for him!" Kohler scratched his head inexplicably. He felt that these compatriots were a bit too much.

...

Chen Qiang successfully skipped the 2.10-meter mark, and it was another success.

This situation often occurs in high jumping. If the previous height is successful at one time, then the probability of the next height being successful at one time is also very high. On the contrary, if you can't jump at a certain height, you may fail three consecutive jumps.

Unlike the previous few trials, when Chen Qiang successfully skipped the height of 2.10 meters, the applause was no longer so sparse. Most of the audience members at the scene began to applaud Chen Qiang, and even people cheered for Chen Qiang appeared.

Before this trial jump, Chen Qiang made a longer preparation, and it was precisely because of this reason that the atmosphere on the scene became tense. After Chen Qiang successfully tried to dance, the audience also needed to vent the tension in his heart, applause and cheers were obviously the best way to vent.

The audience's applause and cheers fell into Chen Qiang's ears, and he sighed: "I finally look like a sports competition!"

As an athlete, Chen Qiang is not worried about hearing the booings from the audience. Sometimes the booings from the audience will inspire Chen Qiang's fighting spirit. And if he can get cheers and cheers from the audience, Chen Qiang can feel even more energetic.

But when I keep refreshing my grades and the audience doesn't respond, that situation is really disappointing.

It’s like holding a concert, the singers sing and crying on stage, but the audience in the audience looked indifferent, and no one was in the mood to continue singing.

Now, with applause and cheers, Chen Qiang suddenly felt energetic and his condition instantly improved a lot.

At a height of 2.11 meters, although Chen Qiang failed the first jump, his second jump was successful.

This time, almost all the audience began to applaud Chen Qiang.

The next height is 2.12 meters. If Chen Qiang can succeed, he will break the world record of high jump five times in a game!

If it is in the future, the height of 2.12 meters is the level of a national first-class athlete, but for Chen Qiang now, this is already a somewhat difficult height.

Chen Qiang has too little time to conduct high jump training. Now he is still a little short of his future national sports athletes in the high jump event.

The future national sports athletes will meet the standards of 2.20 meters, and the international sports athletes will meet the standards of 2.27 meters. At the same time, the B-mark of the Beijing Olympics will also be 2.27 meters, which means that in high jump sports, international sports athletes have just met the minimum standards for participating in the Beijing Olympics.

Now Chen Qiang, if he is lucky and in better condition, he has the ability to skip 2.15 meters. However, today, Chen Qiang's luck and condition seem to be not at its peak, and 2.15 meters is a bit difficult for him.

So the goal Chen Qiang set for himself was to skip 2.12 meters.

"It's 2.12 meters. As long as I can cross this height, my goal in the high jump event has been achieved!"

Chen Qiang took a deep breath and started a trial jump.
