Tang Wei wanted Chen Kangjie not to be the focus of his competitors. He could just skip seventeen meters, but now Chen Kangjie has become the focus. Tang Wei's abacus was wrong. In order to reduce physical energy consumption, Chen Kangjie was not so adaptable to being observed by so many people like he was knocked down under a microscope. He planned to be qualified to join the finals at one time. Anyway, there are only two rounds of triple jump. After passing this round, tomorrow will be the finals.

Of course, Chen Kangjie didn't want to be shocked at once, so although he used the speed method, he still deliberately suppressed the pressure in terms of running speed, which inevitably led to insufficient motivation, which made single-foot jumps, step jumps and jumps unable to perform the greatest step.

However, after a 45-meter run-up, Chen Kangjie stepped on the pedal accurately. After three jumps, he fell into the sand pit. His body did not fall backwards. After his butt fell to the ground, his body leaned forward.

After the referee measured it, the result was 17.44 meters. This result entered the finals, which was basically a foregone conclusion.

"Oh, what a pity, the movement is perfect, but the speed is lacking. If the speed can be faster, it is not impossible to approach 18 meters." After watching Chen Kangjie's game movement, the head coach of the American track and field team sat on the sidelines and sighed.

The coach's idea is at least broader than that of athletes, and it is not that narrow-minded. It is exciting to find a good seedling of sports.

There are also a group of people who are paying attention to this game, including the leader and coach of the Chinese Athletics team. Director Wu is also paying attention to this game, because there are very few male athletes representing China in these events.

In track and field, we have always been our weakness, especially in the men's group. Since participating in the Olympics in 1984, no Chinese male athlete has ever won a gold medal in the track and field. Zhu Jianhua won a bronze medal with a jump of 2.31 meters high at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. This is already the best result that a Chinese male athlete has achieved in the Olympics. If it weren't for this, LIUXIANG would not have been a hero for many years because of a 110-meter hurdle in 2004. He is also the only Chinese male athlete who won a gold medal from the Olympics before 2011. In decades, only the two of them have reached the podium of the Olympics track and field. How sad this is for a big country with more than one billion people.

The entire Chinese delegation, except Niu Qihua and others, did not know Chen Kangjie's strength. However, judging from Chen Kangjie's participation in the 100-meter preliminary round in the morning, he has the strength to enter the next round, so they also look forward to Chen Kangjie being able to enter the next round in the triple-level long jump. They do not expect Chen Kangjie to win the gold medal, but at least they can allow people to see more Chinese men in the track and field. Even if he stands for one more round, it is at least an encouragement to the national track and field team, especially for the men's team.

As a result, Chen Kangjie really didn't disappoint them too much. Based on years of experience, they determined that it would be no question to participate in the finals in the 17.44 meters, and this is just the first jump. If he performed better, it would be impossible to hit the medal. On the track and field, the Chinese delegation really needed an Olympic medal.

From the Seoul Olympics in 1988 to the Barcelona Olympics in 1992, all the medals in the track and field were female athletes. If Chen Kangjie also failed this time, then according to the original history, all the male track and field athletes of the Chinese delegation will be wiped out at this Olympics. Under such pressure, as the superior leader, I hope Chen Kangjie can go further. Even if he does not do his job and career, it will be for the honor and face of hundreds of millions of men.

When they learned that Chen Kangjie's score was 17.44 meters, all members of the delegation were happy for him. Just as they were waiting for Chen Kangjie to jump again to improve their scores, they learned from coach Tang Wei that Chen Kangjie gave up.

Chen Kangjie's maverick made the bureaucrats hate him, but they had no choice. Director Wu couldn't let Chen Kangjie complete those two jumps, let alone others.

"Don't complain, his strategy is right, don't forget that 20 minutes later, he will have to play the men's 100-meter race, and it is right to save his physical strength." Director Wu, who was sitting in the sports official seat, stopped the complaints of a deputy leader and a team leader next to him, and said for Chen Kangjie that he had no choice but to say this. In fact, he also hoped that Chen Kangjie would jump again.

With the company of coaches and staff, Chen Kangjie slowly came to the starting point of the 100-meter race. He took a proper rest and drank some water.

The athletes participating in the second competition were all winners in the preliminary round. Chen Kangjie was going to enter the next round of the rematch. This time, he had to improve his results a little more. In addition to Chen Kangjie, there was another Chinese male athlete in the 100-meter event, but unfortunately he was eliminated in the preliminary competition, ranking seventh in the group at 12.13 seconds and missed the second competition.

Now Chen Kangjie is like fighting alone. While glorious, he also feels that he is burdened and is somewhat lonely.

Track and field athletes are generally lonely. From training to training, most of them are alone, especially Chinese male athletes. It is difficult to find a teammate who can accompany the training. Moreover, once you do not achieve any good results on the field, no one will think you exist, perhaps except your family.

Chen Kangjie remembers that in 1992, he went to Barcelona to watch the Olympics. In the 400-meter semi-final, he saw British player Redmond suddenly injured halfway through the run. Seeing that others had already hit the line and left him, he jumped with one foot, endured the pain, and insisted on running to the finish line. The only one who accompanied him on the empty tower was his father who was desperate to stop him from running down the stands. He really seemed very lonely. The only one who accompanied him was his father. Yes, his relatives were the shadows of loneliness and the shade of loneliness.

No one remembers Redmond anymore. Except for the fact that he moved some people a little, no one remembers him anymore, but his shadow has always remained in Chen Kangjie's mind.

The 100-meter race began. Chen Kangjie shook his head and wiped out the loneliness of his brain. He once again stepped onto the track with the cheers of the audience like waves, carrying the expectations of many people to enter the journey.
