Chapter 201 - Comeback

Saladino started his fifth test jump.

Saladino raised his arms high and kept waving to the audience, and the audience also cooperated with his rhythmic applause to cheer him up.

In the jumping event of track and field, many big-name athletes ask for applause from the audience before the test jump. This applause is not disorderly, but uniform and rhythmic. This applause is like the drumming of the soldiers before the battle, the applause is accompanied by a faster and faster rhythm. This makes the athletes blood boil a lot easier, which can greatly boost the morale of athletes.

So in track and field competitions, hearing this neat applause must be that a big name athlete is about to take a test jump. Of course, sometimes it is embarrassing for athletes who are not very popular to toss for a long time without applause from the audience.

After a moment, Saladino put down his hands and made a running pose. The applause of the audience gradually calmed down. Not only that but the scene also gradually became quiet, even the flash from the camera was limited, everyone was waiting for Saladino to start a jump.

At the same time, Saladino began to recall the jump just now. Although in the last test jump, Saladino jumped a good score of 8.54 meters, when Saladino looked back seriously, he was still able to find some shortcomings and areas for improvement. So in the following jump, he should pay more attention to this test jump to complete it more perfectly.

Saladino was about to start. This time he started abruptly, but it did not affect the acceleration rhythm and the speed of the run. He rushed towards the sand pool. When he stepped on the springboard, some people could even hear the sound of his pedals.

"Uh oh..." Saladino flew into the air, and at the same time, he screamed involuntarily in his throat.

"Woo..." At the moment when Saladino was in the air, the audience burst into an exclamation. This time Saladino made a great flight, it looked like a falcon that found prey, soaring.

Saladino's jump this time, whether it is rhythm or flying, it is perfect. Even the layman who does not know how to jump will be attracted by Saladino's elegant jump.

Later, Saladino fell into the sand pool. When he got up, he held his fist in excitement, because he secretly glanced at the marking beside the sand pool when he landed. It should be above 8.60 meters!

"Is it more than 8.60 meters! It's almost 8.63 meters! It's worthy of Saladino. When he takes it seriously and fully shows his level, it is terrible!" Dwight Phillips looked at the sand pool and silently sighed in his heart.

It was also at this time that there was a sigh around, and they saw a red flag raised high above the head by the referee.

"Foul! Saladino stepped on the line and fouled!"

Saladino's face was confused. He didn't think he had fouled in the test jump just now. He wanted to argue with the referee. Instead of giving him a decision, he decided to take a look at the big screen playback on the court.

The big screen gives a close-up shot of the springboard. It shows Saladino stepping on it as if he stepped on the line, and he seemed that he did not step on the line.

Next, the camera zoomed in and the playback speed was twice as slow. When the screen was played back when Saladino stepped on the springboard, the screen suddenly paused. At this time, everyone saw clearly that Saladino's toes were indeed pressed on the line.

"The referee's punishment is very accurate! Saladino did step on the line! It's a pity that from the playback screen, he just stepped on a little bit. If his foot is a little behind it would have been a perfect jump!" The commentator on the scene also began to regret Saladino.

Zhang Guan, who was about to play, let out a breath. The test jump of Saladino surprised Zhang Guan. Fortunately, Saladino failed the test jump foul.

"Saladino at the peak is too strong, no wonder that in the next Olympics, only in four test jumps he managed to get the victory. Compared with him, the previous Asian record holder Walid is terrible. The five wins in the Golden League are well-deserved!"

Zhang Guan looked at the sand pool and the referee also signaled that he could play, so Zhang Guan walked to the run zone.

This time, Zhang Guan still went directly to the head referee. With the announcement of the head referee, Zhang Guan gave up his fifth test jump.

"Zhang Guan once again gave up his test jump! It seems that his physical strength has not yet recovered, or he thinks that the score of 8.58 meters is still enough to win the championship! It seems that Saladino's foul test jump just now has brought Zhang Guan no pressure, I think if Saladino did not foul in the last test jump, Zhang Guan would not have given up this test jump. But even so, Zhang Guan's performance is still ranked first. Next, the last round of test jumps will begin soon. Will any other athletes be able to play exceptionally? Can Saladino take up the last chance and prove us wrong. Let us wait and see!"

...

On the track, the women's 800-meter final has ended, and now the men's 5,000-meter final is in progress. Among them, Asian League's 3,000-meter obstacle king Sha Xien will participate in this event.

The audience's eyes were briefly focused on the men's 5,000-meter arena. However, in this event that requires more than ten consecutive laps, the athletes spend most of their time running, and it seems that they are not so nervous and excited, so the audience's attention was quickly focused on the long jump competition. The athletes have started their last test jump today, which will determine the champion and runners up in the long jump competition.

Saladino looked at Zhang Guan silently, and Zhang Guan gave up the test jump again, making Saladino a little surprised. Because the athletes generally spent more time in the fifth test jump, just now Saladino spent a lot of time there to mobilize the audience's emotions, so when Zhang Guan entered the stadium, it was far from the last time. Almost ten minutes have passed since the test jump. Ten minutes according to the physical recovery of normal athletes is enough to recover enough physical energy for a test jump.

"Does Zhang Guan think he can win the championship with a score of 8.58 meters? He looks down at me! In the long jump competition, every test jump is extremely precious. I will make him regret giving up the test jump!" Saladino clenched his fists fiercely, his heart fighting high.

One athlete after another completed their last test jump, either succeeded or failed, or were satisfied with the results, or not satisfied with the results, but no athlete could jump more than 8.4 meters, Zhang Guan and Saladino's position remains unshakable.

In fact, in the last test jump, especially if you feel hopeless to win the championship, you will use some more extreme jumps, which also greatly increases the chance of mistakes, so in general, the game in the sixth trial jump is the one with the lowest success rate.

When the sixth player ended his game with a foul and walked out of the sand pool with regret, Saladino stepped onto the field again.

"Saladino is about to start his last test jump. For him, this time must be a desperate jump. If he can't reach 8.58 meters, then the game will end early. This is not only testing Saladino's technical level and on-the-spot performance but is also testing his psychological qualities. At this moment, it depends on Saladino's comprehensive strength! Can Saladino stage a Jedi comeback? Let us wait and see!" The commentator shouted excitedly, and the rhythmic applause rang again on the scene.

"This is my last test jump!" Saladino's had unprecedented calmness at this moment, his strong psychological quality made him not panic but constantly reminded himself in his mind of the matters that need to continue to pay attention to.

"The championship belongs to me! It must be won by me!" Saladino continued to inspire himself deep in his heart, and then he began his last test jump.

"Oh! Saladino started running! The speed is very good! Take off! Okay, no fouls!"

This time, Saladino was not as extreme as the previous jump, so even if Saladino took off quickly, the narrator could see from the screen in front of him that Saladino did not foul.

However, if you carefully watch Saladino's flight this time, it is not worse than the previous jump. If Saladino landed without mistakes, the score of this jump may be the same as the last jump. The results will be similar.

Saladino landed, and countless fine sands spread out around him. When Saladino got up, his heart was also very nervous. He didn't know the performance of this jump was, but he could feel that this time he had been very close to 8.6 meters.

"Must exceed 8.58 meters!" Saladino looked back at the sand pool, frowning.

"It's almost 8.6 meters! But how much is this? 8.59 meters? Or 8.58 meters?" Saladino looked at the surveyor, waiting for him to announce his final results.

This is a measurement related to the gold medal. The surveyor certainly did not dare to have a sloppy point. He repeatedly confirmed the number and then reported the final score of Saladino,

"8.58 meters!"

The audience was in an uproar, accompanied by endless exclamations.

"It turned out to be 8.58 meters! It turned out to be 8.58 meters! The same result as Zhang Guan!" Saladino felt a little lost. He thought that this jump could surpass Zhang Guan, but then he became proud again.

Saladino's mouth was upturned and it was difficult to hide the joy in his heart, "Although it is the same result, according to the rules, it is me who is currently ranked first. Zhang Guan, you will regret giving up just now Try it! Now, you are killed by me!"
