Before that, the world record for the triple jump was 18.29 meters held by the British star Edwards, and now Zhang Guan has raised this record by 0.03 meters!" Commentary The member said.

Another commentator also immediately said: "Zhang Guan has three chances to hit the world record. I thought he would make some adjustments in this trial jump and wait for the next two trial jumps before attacking the world record. Unexpectedly He got it right the first time!"

"Okay, I think we can relax now and enjoy the game in a down-to-earth manner. The gold medal, the world record, and the two major suspenses of this game have been revealed. Zhang Guan has done his best! Next, Zhang Guan can Put the focus of the competition on the upcoming 400-meter final, and we also wish him another gold medal in the 400-meter final in one hour's time!"

Zhang Guan once again broke the world record. This result was expected by many people, but when it happened, some people still couldn't believe it.

"It's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, Zhang Guan broke the world record, and Zhang Guan broke the world record again! The world record for the triple jump!" By his side, isn't what Zhang Guan broke is the world record for the triple jump held by Edwards?

"The world record I hold, Mr. Edwards must feel very uncomfortable!" The British thought silently, and looked at Edwards beside him, but Edwards did not show loss or frustration. Instead, it was a pair of excitement and relief.

Edwards didn't care about the surprised eyes of the narrator. He took a deep breath and said, "Zhang Guan really broke the world record for the triple jump. I have been waiting for 23 years for this day! In 23 years When I broke the triple jump world record before, I was thinking, who will break the record I created next? Today, I finally saw that someone broke my world record!"

"Mr. Edwards, you seem to be looking forward to someone breaking your world record?" the narrator said casually.

"Yes, I don't deny this, I am really looking forward to someone breaking my world record!" Edwards went on to say: "23 years ago, I thought this world record would be broken soon, but it didn't happen. Thinking of the 23 years I have waited for, I even thought that I would not see my world record broken by others until the day I left this world. Fortunately, there is Zhang Guan, and I want to thank him!"

"Thank you Zhang Guan?" The host was even more surprised.

"Do you think that the world record you hold should be broken, and you should be annoyed? Very disappointed? Or depressed?" Edwards smiled slightly, and then continued: "Maybe someone will be like that, but I am not. In fact, I I feel that the world record is not only an honor, but also a burden.”

"Burden?" The narrator repeated the word in confusion.

"Yes, it's a burden." Edwards sighed softly and said, "When you stand on the top of the world, you will be thinking that one day in the future, there may be a young man who will kick you down. Especially It is sports, only higher, faster and stronger, even if you are the world record holder, but one day, your world record will be broken, that is to say, one day, you will be a young People kicked off the altar! And the most painful thing is not the moment of being kicked off the altar, but the waiting time. Just like that step in the "Lion King" cartoon."

"Uh, I don't quite understand what this has to do with cartoons." The narrator said bluntly.

"In "The Lion King", Simba's father, Mufasa, is the Lion King. Later, the scar of menopause replaced him, and then Simba replaced the scar, and in the future, when Simba gets old, the knife Scar's son will replace Simba again... However, in reality, things may be more cruel on the African savannah. The lion king will continue to face challenges from other lions until they grow old and are driven out of the lion group. It may be killed by a group of coyotes or hyenas. Just imagine, if a lion king knows that he will end up like this sooner or later, then how painful this kind of waiting is."

Edwards spread his hands, and continued: "I have always felt this way, I am like the lion king, waiting all the time, very anxious, and very painful. I was even a little afraid to read the newspaper at one point because I was afraid Waking up one day, sitting at the breakfast table, and seeing someone break my world record! It would be a shock. But right now, I don’t feel that way because I already have Mentally prepared, because the whole world knows that Zhang Guan is going to challenge the triple jump world! He succeeded, congratulations to him! Thank you too!"

"I think maybe only a legend like you who is at the top of the world can feel this way!" The commentator did not forget to praise Edwards.

"I don't know about the others, but I really feel relaxed now. I don't have to carry the heavy burden of being a world record holder anymore. I don't have to worry about someone passing me every day. I'm finally relieved! Now, the round Coming to Zhang Guanlai makes me nervous, and he holds more than one world record..." Edwards laughed happily when he said this.
