Chapter 429: Three Jumps to Become a God
The first event was the women’s pole vault, and Russia’s famous pole vault queen Isinbayeva participated in the competition.

This queen has broken more than ten world records in a row, and currently holds the world records for indoor and outdoor women’s pole vaulting.

“Hey!”

He Zhongqiu walked towards Isinbayeva and prepared to say hello.

Seeing Wolverine walking towards him and extending his hand from a few steps away, Emperor Yi cheered and quickly took a few steps forward to hold He Zhongqiu’s right hand with both hands.

“Crack, click, click…”

The reporters pressed the shutter buttons of their cameras.

“Isimba…”

Emperor Yi’s surname is a bit too complicated, and He Zhongqiu is not very familiar with it.

“Yelena, Wolverine, this is my name.” Isinbayeva said quickly.

“Yelena, welcome to China.” He Zhongqiu said with a smile.

“Thank you, I like it here very much. I will come to participate in the Olympics again next year,” Isinbayeva said with a smile.

“Hello, Yelena, can I interview you? Just one question.” Li Hong took the opportunity to say.

Isinbayeva knew Li Hong, the host who quickly became famous all over the world, and nodded in agreement.

“Do you plan to break the record tonight?” Li Hong asked.

“Wolverine, what about you?”

Isinbayeva did not answer first, but asked He Zhongqiu curiously.

“I’ve thought it through.” He Zhongqiu said without hesitation.

Isinbayeva smiled and nodded, saying, “Then I will break it too.”

He Zhongqiu gave a thumbs up, then said goodbye and left.

Li Hong immediately faced the CCTV live camera and said with a smile: “There is good news. Just now, our country’s most famous sports superstar He Zhongqiu and the women’s pole vault queen Isinbayeva both vowed to break the world record. Let’s wait and see and look forward to their wonderful performances.”

Next, Isinbayeva did not fool He Zhongqiu. With her first jump, she broke her own world record for women’s outdoor pole vault, raising the record from 5.01 meters to 5.02 meters.

The last time she broke the record was also by one centimeter, and this time she improved it by another centimeter. He Zhongqiu felt that she was still a little stupid. She broke too much at one time. She should learn from Isinbayeva and break the record slowly.

But long jump is different from high jump. The height of high jump is there and can be set. If you are not good at long jump, you can learn from her in future high jump and break it up centimeter by centimeter.

The first event broke the world record, and the organizers were very happy. The audience naturally gave warm applause and welcome, and He Zhongqiu also went over to offer congratulations.

Next up are the men’s high jump and long jump, and the women’s 400-meter hurdles.

He Zhongqiu came out and arrived at the long jump area.

They are all the best athletes in the world. Several people who participated in the last World Championships finals are here. There are no preliminaries, just three jumps in the final.

Before the competition, warm-up and trial jumps are performed.

He Zhongqiu lined up and jumped three times, and it felt good.

After the World Championships, he practiced less long jump and sprint, and mainly practiced triple jump, so his long jump level is still 92.

Although the level has not been improved, the current wind speed is +0.5 meters. If I am lucky enough to get out of the last state, it is not impossible to break the record of 9.16 meters.

He was ranked eighth among eight people and was the last to appear.

Li Hong asked: “Zhongqiu, should we be more conservative in the first jump, or choose to break through?”

He Zhongqiu waved to the CCTV camera and said with a smile: “First, win the championship, and then try to make a breakthrough in the second jump.”

Chenglong and Wu Jing wanted to go to the sand pit to watch the game, but when they saw the dense crowds of reporters, they gave up because they were afraid of being trampled to death.

After the first round of jumps, the top seven players had the best result of 8.48 meters by Phillips, followed by 8.47 meters by Saladino.

With such a result, He Zhongqiu has no pressure at all. As long as he does not break the rules, he can easily jump 8.7 meters.

When He Zhongqiu measured the run-up distance, Li Hong said excitedly to the camera:
“Dear audience, the first jump of Zhongqiu is about to begin. I look forward to his performance today. With his strength, as I said just now, he should have no problem winning the championship in the first jump.”

In the CCTV live broadcast room, the commentator is Yang Jian and his partner is Han Qiaoshen.

At this time, Yang Jian said excitedly: “Zhongqiu vowed to break the world record again. Long jump is the most likely, and now there is a tailwind.”

Han Qiaoshen said rationally: “The world record of 9.16 meters, to be honest, is a daunting record for other top long jumpers in the world.

To break the world record of 9.16 meters, the condition, luck and environment must all be perfect to have a chance.”

At this time, He Zhongqiu stood at the end of the running track, ready for the run.

Three seconds later, across the sand pit, Li Hong said excitedly: “The first jump of the Mid-Autumn Festival has begun.”

He Zhongqiu accelerated again and again, and after 30 meters, he reached a speed close to meters in ten seconds, and rushed to the taking-off board like a flash of lightning.

As he approached the take-off board, he felt something was wrong, so he intentionally controlled the length of his last step, and then his last step hit the pedal directly.

If I didn’t control my stride, I would definitely step on the line and commit a foul.

Although he hit the take-off board right on the ground, the last step forced him to change his stride, which affected his explosive power when he took off. As a result, the jump was not very successful and he only jumped 8.76 meters.

But this result has made all the participating athletes despair.

“Congratulations Zhongqiu, you’ve almost secured the long jump championship.” Li Hong said happily.

“Clap clap clap…”

The stadium erupted in thunderous applause.

Soon after, it was his second round.

The first seven people all gave their best in the second jump, but three of them committed fouls, including Phillips. The best result was 8.50 meters jumped by Saladino.

With this jump, He Zhongqiu planned to try to break the record.

“Looking forward to this jump!” Li Hong said excitedly.

He Zhongqiu started to run, and when he was about six or seven meters away from the taking-off board, he suddenly felt that his step was wrong, so he braked and slowed down, and stopped behind the taking-off board.

“That’s how long jump is. If you take a wrong step, you’ll lose the rhythm,” said Han Qiaoshen.

Yang Jian said: “It’s a feeling of rhythm. Whether it’s right or not depends on that feeling. If it feels right, do it in one go. If it doesn’t feel right, brake if you can.”

He Zhongqiu walked back step by step to the end of the runway, adjusted his condition, and started running again.

This time he felt very good, and he almost completed his fourth step in the air. Unfortunately, after he fell into the sand pit, the referee in charge of the springboard raised the red flag, indicating a foul.

“Ouch, I stepped on the line, five or six centimeters. If I hadn’t stepped on the line, this jump could have really broken the record, it was really far.”

Looking at the live broadcast screen, Han Qiaoshen said with great regret.

Yang Jian said, “It must be nine meters. With the fourth step, it might be over 9 meters.”

Han Qiaoshen said: “Even with Zhongqiu’s physical fitness and long jump skills, he really needs the right time, place and people to have a chance to break the record. If it’s not perfect at all, there is no chance.”

All the games had to be finished in one night and time was tight, so the referee did not measure He Zhongqiu’s foul jump.

Li Hong was at the end of the sand pit. She estimated and said to the camera that switched over: “It’s a pity, this jump should have been more than 9.2 meters.”

“Oh, what a pity.” Yang Jian said regretfully in the live broadcast room.

“There’s still a third jump, there’s still a chance.” Han Qiaoshen said excitedly.

The second round ends and the third round continues.

American Phillips, who committed a foul in his second jump, did not commit a foul in his third jump, but he only jumped 8.52 meters and is currently ranked second.

Soon after, it was He Zhongqiu’s turn for the third jump.

“Click, click…” The shutter sounds of the media were very frequent.

“The run-up starts from the Mid-Autumn Festival, and we accelerate again and again…” Yang Jian began his passionate commentary.

The run-up and the first 30 meters felt very good. He Zhongqiu maintained a high speed of nearly 10 meters in 10.3 seconds, and rushed to the taking-off board in about seconds.

“Take off!”

Yang Jian shouted.

“Oh!”

In the last step, He Zhongqiu’s left foot stepped heavily on the near edge of the springboard, and then like an eagle, he broke free from the earth’s gravity and the horizontal force of sprinting forward and took off into the air.

“Click, click…” The shutter sounds of the media suddenly became more frequent.

“Have it!”

At the moment of taking off, He Zhongqiu felt that the angle was very large, even reaching 35 degrees.

“Very good jump!” Yang Jian continued to roar.

step.

Step two.

Three steps.

“Perfect posture in the air!” Li Jian continued to shout.

He Zhongqiu took the fourth step in the air, and before he finished the fourth step, he gently fell into the sand pit.

Li Hong glanced at the pit mark. Just then, the referee raised the white flag to indicate that the result was valid. The CCTV camera also switched to it. She said excitedly:
“There was no foul, it must have exceeded nine meters. Let’s see if we can break the record.”

“God, I think it should be more than 9.2 meters.”

“It’s definitely a record.”

“Fuck, if Wolverine breaks this record again, it will be three consecutive long jump world records. That would make him a god!”

“The God of Long Jump.”

Chinese and foreign media reporters on both sides of the tunnel were also talking about it.

At this time, the referee in the sand pit straightened up, his face full of shock.

“How many?”

All the reporters’ eyes were on him, as well as several referees, He Zhongqiu, Li Hong and others. Many people asked impatiently.

“9.24 meters! 9.24 meters! 9.24 meters!” He said it three times in a row in an incredible tone.

“Oh my god, 9.24 meters?!”

“Oh my god, Wolverine broke the world record for the long jump three times in a row?”

“Haha, I said, it’s broken again!”

“Crack, click, click…”

The reporters around were suddenly shocked and waved their cameras frantically at He Zhongqiu.

“Mid-Autumn Festival, 9.24 meters!” Li Hong shouted happily.

He Zhongqiu nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. It was finally broken. Isinbayeva said it would be broken and it would be broken. If he couldn’t break it, he would lose face.

Facing the CCTV live camera, Li Hong said excitedly: “Dear viewers, just now, Mr. He Zhongqiu, a famous sports superstar in my country, once again broke the 9.16-meter men’s long jump world record that he had set himself.”

“This is the third time he has broken the men’s long jump world record since the Shishi National Track and Field Championships in August.”

“The first time was 8.99 meters, the second time was 9.16 meters, and this time was 9.24 meters.”

“His performance is far inferior to that of the best long jumpers in the world today.”

“He was the first athlete to jump over 9 meters in the long jump. Now he has broken the record again. It is safe to say that he is unique in the long jump.”

“Congratulations on the Mid-Autumn Festival! Three jumps to become a god! Three jumps to become a god! Three jumps to become a god!”

In the CCTV live studio, Yang Jian felt helpless, filled with excitement and wanted to express himself, but the camera was cut to Li Hong. Li Hong’s commentary was particularly good. No wonder many people in the station were envious and jealous of Li Hong. He was also envious and jealous.

“Oh oh oh……”

At this time, the audience in the stadium knew that the record was broken, and huge shouts and cheers rang out, so overwhelming that it could not be described as overwhelming.

He Zhongqiu was surrounded by hundreds of reporters. Fortunately, the organizers had made preparations in advance and a large number of security personnel maintained order.

Time was tight and he didn’t want to steal the spotlight from other athletes, so he briefly answered a few questions and ended the interview.

At this time, the men’s high jump and women’s 400-meter hurdles were over. Linus Songbu Radley won the high jump championship with a score of 2.31 meters, and Jana Rawlinson won the 54.42-meter hurdles championship with a score of 400 seconds.

He Zhongqiu went to each of them to extend his congratulations, and as the image spokesperson of the Beijing Olympics, he welcomed them to participate in the Beijing Olympics next year.
