Chapter 184 Long Jump Prohibition(1/2)
Jesse Owens seemed very excited. The 7.94-meter score not only made him successfully stand at the top, but also made him feel that he is in a state of great success. The next time he tried to jump, he could easily skip the 8-meter mark.
Once an athlete with a flow of body is in progress, he can be said to be a person who kills people, and a Buddha who blocks the Buddha.
In the future, there will be some athletes of the muscle-stick type in many sports. They will be as fierce as tigers when they are in good condition and as cowardly as dogs when they are in poor condition. Jesse Owens is this type of athlete, but it is a super enhanced version.
Jesse Owens' physical fitness is really great. When he is in good condition, he is naturally very good. Even if he is in bad condition, he will not have a very bad result. It can be said that Jesse Owens in good condition must be as fierce as a tiger, while Jesse Owens in bad condition must be as timid as a dog, even if he is as timid as a Tibetan mastiff, pit bull or Casro, and he must not be as timid as a Husky.
In fact, many of the black athletes of that era were like Jesse Owens.
After all, in the 1930s, almost all sports were still in their early stages and their sports skills were not perfect. It is also the most common thing for athletes to compete for their grades by relying solely on their physical fitness.
Moreover, the reason why black athletes can shine in track and field is because of their extraordinary physical fitness. Every black man engaged in track and field has the kind of physical fitness that can crush white people's muscles. To put it another way, with the discrimination against black people at that time, if black athletes could not do better than white athletes, they would not get the opportunity to participate in sports competitions. If a black man and a white man had similar results, they would definitely choose white people instead of black people.
...
At this time, Jesse Owens felt that his good condition had been possessed, and he felt more and more confident. He looked at Chen Qiang who was walking into the running-up area with a hot look. The challenging aura could be felt from a distance.
"Chen Qiang, I hope to defeat the strongest you, don't let me down!" Jesse Owens said in his heart.
At this time, Jesse Owens hoped that Chen Qiang would make a good result. For him, only by defeating Chen Qiang in the peak state can he prove that he is the world's number one!
Chen Qiang walked into the running-up area. At this time, he looked solemnly and stared at the sand pool ahead with all his attention. Chen Qiang's mind was constantly reminding himself of the technical details he should pay attention to.
Chen Qiang has gone through four trial jumps, and these four trial jumps are also four adjustments. Every time Chen Qiang tried to jump, his grades will improve, which also confirms that he is constantly improving his technical details.
Although Chen Qiang failed in the fourth try jump just now, he also gained experience. When he walked down the sand pool, he already knew where his problems were and how to adjust them next.
Now that he is the fifth try jump, Chen Qiang is determined to win.
Before, Chen Qiang took a deep breath and started running. In the blink of an eye, Chen Qiang's speed had increased. He was on the springboard and then jumped up suddenly, like a falcon, rising into the air.
Chen Qiang's jumping height is very good, which allows him to perform three and a half steps in the air perfectly.
I saw Chen Qiang's body drew a perfect arc in the air. The moment I landed, the light from the corner of my eyes secretly glanced at the mark next to the sand pool. The number of "8" flashed through Chen Qiang's sight.
"It's been 8 meters!" Chen Qiang was delighted, but his subsequent actions were not affected at all, and he still completed the landing action perfectly.
"Wow!" The audience exclaimed in surprise, and then applause rang out from all directions, endlessly.
"8 meters, Chen Qiang skipped 8 meters!"
"The first 8 meters in the competition today was born!"
"This is the first time I have seen someone jump over 8 meters."
"That's of course, Europe's long jump record is only 7.90 meters. Now there are only two people in the world who can jump 8 meters, one is Chen Qiang, and the other is the black man who jumped 7.94 meters just now!"
In the field, after careful measurement by the surveyor, the referee quickly announced Chen Qiang's results: "8 meters 04!"
Applause and cheers rang out again around.
"8 meters 04, should we be able to lock the championship?"
"Not necessarily, the world record holder of the long jump is the black man just now."
"World Record, how far is that?"
"If I remember correctly, it seems to be 8.13 meters!"
"8 meters 13? I heard it right, someone can jump so far!"
"Don't forget that guy is a nigger. Niggers are similar to gorillas. Gorillas naturally jump farther than humans!"
While the audience was talking, they did not forget to mock the black people.
The voices in the audience were very messy. Of course, Jesse Owens could not hear the audience's contempt and ridicule of him. At this time, he was still immersed in that excited mental state.
Next to it, German athlete Luce Lang walked up and started talking to Jesse Owens.
"Jesse, that Chinese man is so amazing. He jumped 8.04 meters, and this result is second only to your world record of 8.13 meters." Luce-Long said.
"I will defeat him!" Jesse Owens said confidently.
Luce-Long nodded with a smile, then said, "Jesse, I think there are a few key points that you should pay attention to."
Luce Lang began to make suggestions to Jesse Owens from the perspective of a third party.
There were many athletes in this era who were really sportsmanship. "Friendship No. 1 and Competition No. 2" was not a slogan at that time, but something many athletes were really doing.
For example, this German player Luce Lang is also a long jumper and is a completely competitor to Jesse Owens, but he will still point out the shortcomings of Jesse Owens' attempted jump and help Jesse Owens improve. Perhaps in Luce Lang's eyes, victory or defeat is not important. He came to participate in the Olympics to show the spirit of the Olympics. In the Olympics of that era, there were many such people who helped their opponents.
The so-called authorities are confused by the bystander, Luce-Long, as an onlooker, has a different perspective from Jesse Owens. It is also for this reason that the suggestions he made to Jesse Owens were all that Jesse Owens did not notice. After listening to Luce-Long's suggestions, Jesse Owens suddenly felt enlightened.
At this time, the last round of trial jumps also began.
The first American player Bob Clark jumped 7.57 meters and completely missed the medal.
The next one to play is German player William Lesim. If he wants to win a medal, he must skip at least 7.87 meters and surpass his compatriot Luce Lang. This is a bit difficult for him. Although he tried his best, he ended up just jumping 7.73 meters and ranked fifth.
The third one to appear is Japanese player Naoto Tashima. His current best score is 7.74 meters, ranking fourth. If he wants to go further, he will also exceed 7.87 meters.
In the official competition, Naoto Tashima never jumped 7.87 meters. In order to surpass himself, he chose a more unrestrained jump method, but ended with a foul. Naoto Tashima also bid farewell to the long jump competition of the Olympic Games.
At this time, the top three were also confirmed. German player Luce Lang temporarily ranked third with 7.87 meters. If he wants to win the runner-up, he needs to surpass Jesse Owens' 7.97 meters, and the championship, he must surpass Chen Qiang's 8.04 meters. These two results are impossible for him to complete. He has never jumped such a long distance before.
Faced with a score that exceeded his limit, Luce-Lang could only choose to give it a try. He also chose a very limiting jump method, which means that he has to take more risks for it, and the probability of failing to try jump will be much higher.
Sure enough, after Luce Lang took off, the referee raised the red flag, which meant that Luce Lang's last jump failed.
The audience's disappointment sounded around, but then the sound turned into applause. Although Luce-Lang's attempt to jump failed, he still won the third place and won a bronze medal for the German team. He was already satisfied with being able to win medals and win honors for Germany.
At this time, only two players remained, namely Jesse Owens and Chen Qiang. Jesse Owens's next try jump will be related to the title. If Jesse Owens skips 8 meters 04, then the final championship is still suspense. If Jesse Owens does not skip 8 meters 04, Chen Qiang will win the championship in advance.
Jesse Owens walked onto the track with a firm pace. He was in very good shape. He was already able to skip 8.04 meters, and just now after Luce Lang gave him some advice, he was even more confident.
"Long jump is the event I'm best at. I'm going to decide this championship!" The persistence in Jesse Owens's eyes flashed by. He took a deep breath and started running.
Jesse Owens rushed to the springboard, exerted force suddenly, and his body soared into the air. His body flew through the air, and it was still the simplest squatting style to soar. However, the flying height and distance were better than other snorkeling postures!
The next second, Jesse Owens landed in the sand pool, and the 8-meter marker had already been left behind by him.
“It’s over 8 meters!”
“Is it more than 8 meters or 04?”
"I don't know, I can't see clearly, I have to wait until the referee announces it."
The audience was surprised and immediately fell into silence. They looked at the surveyor nervously and walked into the sand pool, waiting for the referee to announce the results.
The surveyor also looked cautious, and under the witness of the referee, he repeatedly measured his results.
Finally, the referee announced the last jump score of Jesse Owens: "8 meters 06!"
Hearing this result, Jesse Owens shouted excitedly. Although this did not reach his world record of 8.13 meters, it had surpassed Chen Qiang's 8.04 meters. For him, the championship was close.
There was also a riotous scream in the audience.
"8 meters 06, Jesse Owens surpassed Chen Qiang!"
"After all, that black man is the world record holder. Since he can jump out of 8 meters 13, it should be easy to jump an 8 meters 06."
"Ah 8.06 meters, this should be the champion, right?"
"Not necessarily, the Chinese have the last try jump!"
"That Chinese has never jumped out of 8.06 meters, right? I think it's difficult for him to turn the tables."
People's eyes were all looking at Chen Qiang again.
8.06 meters, Chen Qiang has never skipped such a result in the competition, but in the training space, 8.06 meters is not Chen Qiang's limit!
At this time, Chen Qiang's expression was serious, and Jesse Owens' 8.06 meters had already forced Chen Qiang to the edge of the cliff.
"The last time I jumped out of 8.04, there was room for improvement in the technical level. If I were asked to adjust, I would be very sure that it would be more than 8.06!"
"I can win this Olympic long jump gold medal if I exceed 8 meters or 06 meters, but the world record of 8 meters or 13 may not be able to break it. If it is a normal jump, it is unlikely to skip 8 meters or 13 meters or 13 meters or 13 meters or 13 meters or 13 meters or 13 meters or 13 meters or 13 meters or 13 meters or 13 meters or 13 meters or 14 meters or 14 meters or 1
"I just won the gold medal in the Olympics, and did not break Jesse Owens' world record. Jesse Owens is still the person who jumped the farthest in the world. I can't really defeat Jesse Owens."
"In my current state, if I want to skip 8.13 meters, I can only use that method. But that method is not only a bit dangerous, but the success rate is not very high."
"I just need to adjust my skills to win the Olympic gold medal, but I can't break the world record. Using that method, although the success rate is not high, once I succeed, I will definitely break the world record of 8.13 meters!"
At this time, Chen Qiang was faced with a choice, whether to be more secure, to win a long jump gold medal, or to be more unrestrained and to bet on a world record.
"Fight! As an athlete, I should have challenged myself, and it is impossible to challenge it. At this time, I should not retreat! I want both Olympic gold medals and world records!" Thinking of this, Chen Qiang decided to boldly try that dangerous technical move.
I saw Chen Qiang walk onto the field, adjust his breathing, and start running.
"So fast!" Jesse Owens on the sidelines sighed softly. He had noticed that Chen Qiang's running speed this time was much faster than before.
After taking a breath, Chen Qiang ran to the springboard. However, what everyone unexpectedly was that at the moment of jumping, Chen Qiang's body suddenly had a tendency to brake.
"What's going on? This is not a high jump!" Jesse Owens was shocked.
Braking pedaling is a high jump technique that can convert the horizontal speed obtained from running up to vertical speed. In long jump, athletes do not pursue vertical speed, so no one uses the braking pedaling technology.
However, this time, Chen Qiang used a start-up with braking technology during long jump.
Jesse Owens hasn't reacted yet, why did Chen Qiang use braking technology in the long jump? At this time, Chen Qiang had already taken off the air. Because braking technology was mixed in the jump, Chen Qiang had a good vertical speed this time, so he jumped very high.
Chen Qiang rose into the air, and then he made an action that shocked everyone, lowered his head and chest, hugged his knees and abdomen, and his body rotated around the air for a whole lot!
"What's this!"
