Chapter 104 Fish Leap Throw

"After the first three throws, the remaining eight team members took turns throwing in order of their scores from lowest to highest. Lu Wei was ranked third after the first three throws and was the sixth to throw, which felt like a pretty good order."

In this kind of weather, it will be extremely difficult for the team members behind to make a comeback!

After a few minutes of rest following his first three throws, Yang Li began analyzing the situation on the field. Soon, the broadcast switched to the track, where the men's 5000-meter final was about to begin.

During this time, the Polish player, who ranked 8th in the preliminaries, lost his balance on the slippery field, not only sliding out of bounds but also twisting his ankle.

Seeing that someone was injured, the team members who came out next were hesitant during their run-up. None of the first 5 team members who came out managed to run more than 85 meters.

As Yang Li had predicted, the competition proceeded as expected. It is already difficult for athletes to perform normally in the rain, let alone with an injured teammate present. The others dared not exert themselves too much.

He has a long career ahead of him, and he can't let today's game delay his future games.

Next year there's the Golden League, which offers lucrative income, and the Olympic Games, held every four years. If the situation were close now, some would definitely give it their all for a better result, but with an 89-meter obstacle looming in their way, the chances are slim.

Don't be fooled by the fact that many athletes achieve a final time of over 90 meters; most of them are just flashes of brilliance. In this weather, even if they do have a flash of brilliance, it's wasted on the slippery track conditions.

It was Lu Wei's turn to compete again. At this time, the 5000-meter race had just ended, and the director quickly switched the camera back to the shot put.

Just then, Lu Wei began his run-up, and his run-up distance was longer than everyone else's.

When he was 2 meters away from the throwing line, he threw the javelin with all his might. To prevent slipping, he used the toes of his left foot for support, and his body flew up.

"Wow, that was a really long throw, probably two or three meters beyond the 85-meter line. Lu Wei really outperformed himself again!" Yang Li exclaimed excitedly. This throw was sure to be much longer than the previous three.

"Huh? Why didn't the referee move? Did Lu Wei commit a foul?" After Lu Wei made his move, the broadcast camera followed the trajectory of the javelin.

Seeing that the referee on the sidelines didn't seem to be measuring the distance, Yang Li quickly realized what was going on.

At that moment, the broadcast camera switched to the inside of the field, and the referee raised the red flag.

"Lu Wei committed a foul on that shot, what a pity! But Lu Wei still has two more chances, and there's still time to adjust."

As the commentary played, a slow-motion replay showed Lu Wei's throw. He leaped into the air, his body sliding nearly 2 meters upon landing. By the time he came to a stop, his hands were already outside the throwing line. Lu Wei stood up, shook his head with a wry smile, and said that the ground was too slippery and he would have to adjust his release point next time.

Next up was Torgildsen, who only managed a little over 82 meters on his fourth attempt. He was noticeably holding back during his throw, probably because he had already thrown over 88 meters, which would at least earn him a silver medal, so he wasn't in a hurry to push himself to get a better result.

The rain in Osaka comes and goes quickly, which is one reason why the players who made it to the finals weren't in a rush to push themselves too hard. If the rain stops soon, there won't be any more rain falling on the stadium, making the match easier.

However, it is still very difficult to completely dry up the water in the sun.

After paddling once earlier, Pete Camaraki had his second burst of energy on his fourth throw. He is used to making an overshooting motion when throwing, so he is least affected by the motion among athletes, and this throw also exceeded 87 meters.

"Although it didn't surpass his second shot, it was still very impressive. This kid is very cunning. He adjusts his approach every one of his six opportunities, so he can unleash a burst of power every other shot."

Wang Qiao muttered to himself.

Lu Wei witnessed the entire process of Pete Camaki's throw from the sidelines, and indeed, this posture can minimize the impact of the environment.

"You guys really know how to play. This posture is fine to ensure throwing distance, but if you play like this in war, the enemy cavalry might pierce through you in one go. But I'll never experience such a cold weapon era again in my life."

Lu Wei stood alone in a covered corner, lost in thought.

By this time, the rain had lessened considerably, becoming just a light drizzle, and the smell of damp earth was quite strong.

Lu Wei took a deep breath: "Nature tastes so good!"

The javelin competition has entered the fifth round. Gale stood in the throwing area, took a deep breath, and judging from his expression, he was enjoying the moment.

The stadium's drainage system is quite good; after the rain subsided, the field was no longer flooded, although the rubber surface was still a bit slippery.

Perhaps fueled by the excitement after the rain stopped, Gale threw the ball with tremendous force, no longer concerned about the ground's impact. He took a full run-up and unleashed his full power.

His posture in the air was significantly better than in his previous throws, and the javelin landed between the 85-meter and 90-meter lines.

"Wow! American player Gale's throw was also very far. It looks like he has already surpassed Lu Wei. I wonder if he can surpass Torgildsen, who is currently ranked second."

Yang Li's voice was filled with excitement in the first half, but a hint of regret in the second. He was excited because someone on the field had achieved a good result, but regretful because Lu Wei had been overtaken and placed fourth, which wasn't a good ranking.

With a jump of 86.31 meters, Gale's ranking instantly climbed to 3rd place.

Perhaps because the rain gradually subsided, people were less careful about slipping and getting injured while throwing, and everyone threw with extra ferocity in the fifth round of the competition.

Unfortunately, apart from Ivanov who threw 81.55 meters, the next three team members all ended up committing fouls.

It was Lu Wei's turn to throw again. This time, he didn't rush to take a running start, but instead mentally reviewed Pete Camaraki's movements. He leaped forward during the throw, letting his body move forward with the force of his arm. In this weather, this movement would definitely be much more effective than a standing throw.

Having learned from his fourth throw, Lu Wei had calculated his footwork. He moved his starting point forward one step from his previous throw, so that he would be closer to the throwing line when he threw.

After mentally preparing himself, Lu Wei started running, and the friction of the ground was indeed much greater than before. This meant Lu Wei didn't need to estimate his run-up anymore; he accelerated in the last five meters, and when he landed with his left foot on his final step, he was still about two meters from the throwing line.

With a sudden burst of power from his right arm, his body leaped forward, the javelin arcing through the air as it flew.
