Chapter 95: Post-match High Jump Interview & Reporters' Amazement

With Wang Shen's successful clearance at 2 meters 30 in the first attempt, the outcome of this high jump competition was no longer in doubt.

The reactions from Abdullah and Ye Wenhao after Wang Shen's successful jump were vastly different. Ye Wenhao hugged Wang Shen excitedly, and the two of them patted each other on the shoulders. Abdullah, on the other hand, wore a solemn expression. He was now facing a challenge from two Chinese athletes.

As of this moment, Wang Shen had a successful clearance at 2 meters 30, Abdullah at 2 meters 28 in the first attempt, and Ye Wenhao at 2 meters 28 in the second attempt.

If Abdullah and Ye Wenhao chose to forfeit the rest of the competition, the final ranking would be Wang Shen in first place, Abdullah in second, and Ye Wenhao in third.

When the referee asked Abdullah and Ye Wenhao if they would continue to jump, Abdullah contemplated for a moment and chose to skip the current height. He would go on to challenge the 2 meters 32 height directly.

If he wanted to reverse his fortunes and win the competition, this was his only choice.

Ye Wenhao raised an eyebrow but chose not to follow Abdullah. Instead, he continued with the 2 meters 30 height.

In the subsequent attempts at 2 meters 30, Ye Wenhao failed in the second round but, in the third round, he managed to clear the height. With no significant psychological burden, Ye Wenhao made use of the "last jump" momentum to clear 2 meters 30 as well.

In the commentary booth, both Shao Minyi and Li Sen maintained their joyful expressions throughout the evening.

"2 meters 30!!! Our Chinese athlete Ye Wenhao has also successfully cleared this hurdle in the third attempt at 2 meters 30 tonight! Ye Wenhao and Wang Shen are indeed arch-rivals, and their ongoing rivalry has continuously propelled their growth in the high jump event!"

"As the twin stars of high jump in our country, in tonight's competition, both of them have cleared the 2 meters 30 height. They've secured their place in the medals for tonight's high jump event and also earned their qualifications for the World Athletics Championships in Qatar this September!"

"Let's congratulate them together!"

At this point, the competition had come to an end.

With Abdullah having only two attempts left at 2 meters 32 after his first attempt, and Ye Wenhao bowing out of the competition due to accumulated failures, the competition had effectively come down to Wang Shen and Abdullah.

Wang Shen made a strategic decision. Instead of continuing to challenge Abdallah at 2 meters 32, he opted to skip that height and aimed for 2 meters 34. This choice signified his strong position in the competition and showcased his respect for his opponent, as well as his desire to push his own limits.

Abdullah observed Wang Shen's choice without comment and approached the remaining attempts at 2 meters 32 with heightened focus. However, he couldn't clear this height in either of his two attempts. After two rounds of jumps, Abdallah finished with a final result of 2 meters 28.

In the final moments of the competition, Wang Shen's attempts at 2 meters 34 were more about challenging his own limits. He completed two serious attempts at this height, but his takeoff technique had not entirely reached the ideal state. During his second attempt at 2 meters 34, he experienced discomfort due to a deviation in the takeoff angle. Realizing that continuing the jumps would be meaningless and to preserve his physical condition, Wang Shen chose to forgo his final attempt. His final result remained at 2 meters 30.
