Chapter 1140 If miracles have a color, it must be Dongfanghong!!!
[Liu Xiang’s 60-meter hurdles hit the lowest point in nine years and may achieve self-salvation. 】
Generally speaking, the scores of sprint athletes in the 60-meter hurdles and the 110-meter hurdles are directly proportional. In 2001, 2002, and 2003, Liu Xiang's best results in the 60-meter hurdles were 7.74 seconds, 7.55 seconds, and 7.51 seconds respectively.
The best levels of the 110-meter hurdles were 13.32 seconds, 13.12 seconds and 13.17 seconds respectively. At that time, Liu Xiang could not match the old hurdle king Johnson of the United States, and he did not have the strength to win the World Series.
In 2004, Liu Xiang achieved a historic breakthrough at the World Indoor Championships in Budapest, winning the silver medal in 7.43 seconds, setting an Asian record. At that time, Director Sun predicted that Liu Xiang would definitely make a qualitative leap in subsequent outdoor competitions. Sure enough, he won the silver medal at the Athens Olympics that year.
, a time of 110-meter hurdles reached 12.91 seconds, winning the championship and tying the world record of the famous Jackson.
In 2005, Liu Xiang's best time in the 60-meter hurdles declined, with a time of 7.50 seconds. Correspondingly, the subsequent outdoor season did not go well. He lost to the French star Ducoure at the World Championships in Helsinki by 0.01 seconds and finished second.
The runner-up in the 110-meter hurdles in 2005 never broke the 13-second mark, and also lost the honor of being ranked number one in the world.
In 2007, Liu Xiang ran a good time of 7.42 seconds at the Karlsruhe Indoor Race, setting a new Asian record again. This was also Liu Xiang's best time in the 60-meter hurdles so far. Then in the same year, he broke out passionately at the Osaka World Championships, performing a miracle in the ninth track.
Trammell of the United States and Robles of Cuba won the gold medal at the World Championships and achieved the Olympics, World Championships, and World Record Grand Slams.
In 2008, Liu Xiang won the World Indoor Championships in Valencia and won China's first men's world indoor championship gold medal in short span. However, his winning time of 7.46 seconds declined. Since then, his state has been unstable, and the outdoor season was the worst.
The best time was only 13.10 seconds until he retired due to injury in the Beijing Olympics.
It seems that this report is well written, and the indoor competition does represent a certain result of the outdoor competition. It seems that Liu Xiang ran like this in the first two shots, and he is probably going to be disappointed. Many domestic "500,000 media" are already sharpening their knives.
They want to immediately sentence their own athletes to "death". Faced with such reports, Su Shen said before the end of the semi-finals that they ignored 2006 and ignored injuries. In 2006, Brother Xiang suffered a complete soft tissue injury to the outer ankle of his left foot.
The indoor season was scrapped, but he broke out in the outdoor season that year. At the Grand Prix of Lausanne in Switzerland, he broke the world record that had been dormant for 13 years with 12.85 seconds. Therefore, although the results of the indoor and outdoor competitions are closely linked, injury factors will distort this pattern.
And some athletes are more suitable for forward running, so they take more advantage. For example, Trammell and Robles are better in front, but their 110-meter hurdles results are not as good as Xiang's. Another example is me, the 60-meter is the world record.
Holder, but I can't run 100 meters faster than Bolt or Guy, who is much slower.
Therefore, what will happen in the game still depends on the athletes' on-the-spot performance.
Sun Haiping strongly agreed with this, and Liu Xiang deliberately let go of his first two shots in order to preserve his body functions.
Because the conclusion given by the medical team on Ersha Island is - one shot.
If you use more than one shot at full strength, unpredictable risks may occur.
That's why he has been "suffering" until now. This year's Liu Xiangke is different from the one he played in the World Online. In the latter, he had just come back and had just recovered from his injury. Naturally, he could not achieve any good results. But now, he is not
In this way, he underwent surgery and recovered early, and even won the championship in Berlin as a dark horse. In addition, the Su Shen system allowed him to introduce hard work and training to his physical fitness. In addition, Liu Xiang himself has completed the "eight changes to seven".
To be honest, Su Shen was also looking forward to this shot.
He is looking forward to whether Liu Xiang can break his own record and improve the 60-meter short span of florist and Asia to 7.40s, or even a step higher.
"It's enough to compete with yourself, don't fight with them." Sun Haiping made a special statement before taking the stage.
I'm afraid that Liu Xiang will get in trouble and act on his own initiative.
"Oh, master, I know, I can go all out for this shot anyway." Liu Xiang smiled to reassure the former, and then passed the inspection and entered the arena.
At this time, in order to heighten the atmosphere of the first indoor world championships in China and to match Liu Xiang's popularity, the large screen at the scene began to play the history of the 60-meter hurdles. The ever-changing pictures made the audience quickly get involved in it————
——
In 1985, the first indoor track and field championships were held in Paris and the men's 60-meter hurdles event was set up. The championship was eventually won by Frenchman Karistan with a time of only 7.67 seconds.
In the second indoor championships in 1987, American Tony Campbell improved his championship time to 7.51 seconds.
In the 1989 championships, American Roger Kingdom improved his time to 7.43 seconds.
Foster's winning time at the 1991 Seville Championships was only 7.45 seconds, but the three-time world championship 110-meter hurdles gold medalist ran 7.36 seconds in Los Angeles in 1987, breaking the then-new record of the 60-meter hurdles.
The world championship record, even today this result can rank third in history.
At the 1993 World Indoor Championships in Toronto, Maple Leaf national McCoy won the gold medal with a time of 7.41 seconds, while Kitty Eagle national star Colin Jackson won the silver medal again after the 1989 World Championships. In 1997, the hurdler legend got involved for the third time in Paris.
He won the silver medal in the 60-meter hurdles. It was not until 1999 that he became the dominant player in the 60-meter hurdles at the World Championships. However, Colin Jackson ran 7.30 seconds in Sindelfingen, Germany, in 1994. To this day, this is still the first time in the 60-meter hurdles event.
Unshakable mountains.
However, Colin Jackson's world record is not an indoor championship record, and this is also a very interesting phenomenon. Among the ten best results in the 60-meter hurdles, most of them were not achieved at the indoor world championships.
, this further highlights the greatness of Alan Johnson. As the former record holder of the 60-meter hurdles indoor world championships, he can be said to have brought this project into the era named after a person for the first time, the Alan Johnson era.
The 1995 World Indoor Championships in Barcelona became the place where Alan Johnson's dream began. He won the 60-meter hurdles at the World Championships for the first time in 7.39 seconds. After that, he won the 60-meter hurdles twice at the 2003 Birmingham and 2004 Budapest World Indoor Championships.
As a result, he became the player who won the most gold medals in the Indoor World Championships. In 2004, the eternal legend ran 7.36 seconds in Budapest, which set a new record for the World Championships.
Although Alan Johnson is the strongest person in the 60-meter hurdles event at the World Indoor Championships, the 1997 and 1999 World Championships were won by Cuban stars Garcia and Colin Jackson respectively, but neither of them continued their success this time.
, who is the king of the 60-meter hurdles after Alan Johnson?
The answer is Trammell. At the 2001 Lisbon World Indoor Championships, Trammell defeated Garcia in 7.51 seconds. Although veteran Alan Johnson regained the title in 2003 and 2004, Trammell won the 2006 Moscow World Championships with 7 seconds.
He won the championship for the second time with a record of 43 seconds. So far in the history of the 60-meter hurdles event at the World Championships, apart from Alan Johnson, only Trammell has won the championship more than once.
Then there was Liu Xiang, a flower grower in Valencia in 2008.
The historical pictures that kept passing by on the big screen made the scene quickly enter the atmosphere, and also understand the general history of the changes in the indoor competition.
Finally, a big word was printed on the big screen, that is - if Liu Xiang can defend his title, he will be the third double champion after Alan Johnson and Trammell, and the second to defend the title after Alan.
By.
Please give the flower grower a chance to fly first.
Come on Liu Xiang.
The short film was well done, and with the music and images, many people at the scene were fired up.
"Liu Xiang, come on."
"Liu Xiang, come on."
"Liu Xiang, come on."
It began to spread all over the audience. In this atmosphere, even Liu Xiang himself was slightly stimulated by the film and the atmosphere of the audience.
Excitement is a very important thing for athletes.
How to mobilize athletes' excitement is also a popular topic in the future.
Liu Xiang was obviously aroused by these things at the scene, and an inexplicable power began to surge through his body.
This feels good.
There is a feeling similar to what he had in 2004.
He took a deep breath.
Then slowly relaxed and spit it out again.
Next to him is Robles, and beyond that is Trammell.
The groupings for this competition were shown on the scene:
In the first lane, Jamaican player Wignall, SB7.62, PB7.48s.
In the second lane, Hungarian player Daniel Keith, SB7.56s, PB7.56s.
In the third lane, Russian player Borisov, SB7.53s, PB7.44s.
In the fourth lane, American player Trammell, SB7.41s, PB7.37s.
In the fifth lane, Cuban player Robles, SB7.44s, PB7.33s.
Sixth lane flower grower Liu Xiang, SB7.68s, PB7.42s.
In the seventh lane, American player Oliver, SB7.49s, PB7.45s.
Czech player Svoboda in lane 8, SB7.44s, PB7.44s.
It can be seen that PB Liu Xiang is ranked third, but SB this year he is ranked last among the finalists.
This result is so intuitive that many people find it difficult to control themselves.
Worried about Liu Xiang.
Tianchao Sports Channel.
"Everyone can see clearly that Liu Xiang's condition this season is not particularly good, and the competition outside is mainly smooth."
"Maybe the heel inflammation from winter training has some impact." Da Liuyang said: "I hope Liu Xiang can perform well in this shot, get rid of his mental baggage, and go into battle lightly. He can stand on the final stage now, which is already a success."
"Don't think too much about the rest, just play well."
That being said, there were a few people in the audience, including those in front of the TV, who didn't want to see the flower grower win the gold medal and raise the national flag at the scene.
"on your marks."
When the signal sounded, the athletes all began to prepare in their respective positions.
Robles turned his head and looked at Liu Xiang, feeling slightly nervous.
For Liu Xiang, although he now has 7 losses and 5 wins, it does not seem that big, but in fact the gap was much bigger. Because he won all ordinary games, Golden League Paris Station, Stuttgart Indoor Tournament, Golden League
Paris Station, the Shanghai International Athletics Golden Grand Prix, and the semi-finals of the World Athletics Championships in Osaka. Deducting Liu Xiang from the semi-finals was simply a tactical let-down. He was eliminated in the finals, leaving only four sub-stations.
In the IAAF world competitions (Olympic Games, World Championships, World Indoor Championships, World Cup, and Athletics Finals), Liu Xiang and Robles met a total of 4 times, and the former won in the end. In other words, Luo Xiang won.
Bos has never won a single victory in a world competition. Of course, if you count the semi-finals in Osaka, there is nothing you can do about it. Anyway, the final champion that year was Liu Xiang.
Only in the finals, Liu Xiang won.
During this period, Robles only won two world championships, the 2007 IAAF Finals and the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Liu Xiang did not sign up for the former, and Liu Xiang withdrew due to injury. So there are many
People say that he won these championships just because he didn't meet Liu Xiang.
This makes Robles' mentality actually somewhat bad.
In addition, Liu Xiang successfully defended his title at the World Championships last year, which put even more pressure on him. After all, in this life, he didn't even win the world record.
Still Liu Xiang’s 12.85s.
Forgetting these historical reasons, coupled with Liu Xiang's record, no one in the hurdles world knows that a typical situation is to get stronger when strong, or even stronger when strong. In the 2004 Athens Olympics, he used an aggressive rhythm to confuse the French star Doucouret.
The pace of the latter caused the latter to fall to his feet; in the 2007 Osaka World Championships, the ninth lane went through the air, allowing Trammell and Robles to watch the gold medal fall away; in the 2008 Indoor World Championships, Robles was deceived by the pressure gun
I was confused. The flower grower next to me was very convincing every time he won the world championship. He would PK his powerful opponents, but Robles had never won the championship by defeating a great opponent.
Therefore, facing Liu Xiang, Robles naturally felt pressure in his heart.
Robles has never been the kind of person with a stable mentality and stable performance. Even though he started this year so fiercely, in fact, his performance this year was a mess and he almost didn't perform well when he encountered the masters. In fact, Robles was just as strong as he was in 2008.
One year, he was not the type of player to compete in competitions at other times. And the person who is easily affected by this kind of rhythm is actually Liu Xiang's favorite opponent.
Because Liu Xiang himself is frighteningly stable.
"Don't look at me, Robles. Let's compete. It won't be good if I swing you away again later." Liu Xiang was just joking with Robles, but he didn't know that Robles was stunned for a moment, and then
Breathing became heavier.
This kid is good everywhere.
It's just my mentality, it's too bad.
Even though he is an Olympic champion, he is still so easy to fluctuate.
But the game was about to start, and Liu Xiang didn't think much about it. He looked at the key points and prepared to lean in and start.
"set." (preparation)
"We'll have to wait and see whether Liu Xiang can perform well at home." We clearly know that it is almost impossible for Liu Xiang to win. Even if he is healthy, it will be difficult. Robles and Trammell are both too fast. The future is not Liu Xiang's territory.
, but the moment the game started, Yang Jian still became a little nervous.
call----
call----
call----
The scene was so quiet that you could hear the athletes breathing.
until……
Bang————————————————————
The electronic gun goes off and the game begins.
Liu Xiang's reaction to this shot was very normal, reaching 0.127 seconds. This was a normal operation for him. It was nearly 0.03 seconds faster than the original timeline for him who had just recovered from injury. And this reaction speed is obvious.
That's number one.
The second-placed Czech player Svoboda also only had 0.134s.
The reaction time of Trammell, his two main opponents, was 0.149 seconds, and Robles' reaction was... as slow as a dog.
I was afraid that I would make a mistake if I ran too fast, so I just knelt down.
The shadow that Liu Xiang left on him in 2008 has not been erased until now. In addition, with the "zero false start" now, Robles' reaction is more conservative. Otherwise, his shot in the previous life would definitely hit 7.30
s world record.
"Game start."
"Trammell in the middle had a slight advantage in the first column, and Liu Xiang was second."
Trammell obviously did not expect Liu Xiang to start so quickly, because in his impression, Liu Xiang was not a good starter or a good starter. This was even more so after the injury. Who would have known that Liu Xiang would attack almost at the same time as him after starting?
column.
Robles also caught up at this time. His technical moves were the same as Liu Xiang's, which was "eight changes to seven."
There was no problem with Robles' talent. He was very strong and instantly entered into a battle between three people.
Roberts was supposed to start breaking out in the second hurdle, then getting faster and faster, entering the field, unstoppable, and finally winning the championship. But this was when there was no Liu Xiang, and there was Liu Xiang. Why did he fail to do so in the previous competition?
Never won?
In addition to his own unstable mentality, another important reason is that his sense of rhythm is not as good as Liu Xiang's.
So if he wants to win the race, he usually has to lead from the front, and then he will run smoother and faster.
Once he reaches a stalemate, his rhythm can easily be affected and disrupted by others.
It is more obvious especially when on adjacent roads.
In this regard, Liu Xiang is extremely talented and has an explosive sense of rhythm. Therefore, in the duel, Robles, who was next to him, was the first to be unlucky. His speed did not increase in the second column.
Liu Xiang's rhythm almost caused the hurdle to fly away with one kick.
"Damn it! What are you doing Dai Long! Hold on!" Robles' coach Santiago Antunez yelled.
He knows how much potential Robles has, and naturally also knows how many shortcomings Robles has.
Fierce confrontation, rhythmic fighting, once trapped, his disciple will not be able to escape.
So from the beginning, he had already told him that he must stay in the lead at the beginning.
This way you can run better and better.
On the original timeline, Robles did what Santiago Antunez said, so with a reaction time of almost 0.200 seconds, he also ran a terrifying result of 7.34 seconds. But this time, he was not so lucky.
Once Liu Xiang is stuck, it will be difficult for him to break free from the rhythm field of the Dongfang Column King next to him.
Trammell also knows this. In fact, he doesn't like being next to Liu Xiang.
To prevent your own rhythm from being affected and disrupted.
This time Robles helped him bear it all.
In the third column, Robles has not yet rushed out.
The fourth one is still missing.
"Damn it! Damn it!!!" When Santiago Antunez saw this, he actually looked a little gloomy and kept cursing in his mouth. But the game would not change just because of his few curses. Liu Xiang Robstrame
Er, you have obviously rushed out.
The three of them were almost going hand in hand.
"Liu Xiang, Trammell, and Robles are almost unanimous. It's the last two columns. Let's see who can stand out!"
When Yang Jian saw this, his voice became a little urgent.
The sound of cheering at the scene was getting louder and louder.
"come on--------------"
"come on--------------"
"come on--------------"
Liu Xiang's ears were filled with the familiar voices of flower growers, all in Chinese. This moment made him feel like he had returned to 2008.
In 2008, I also heard these sounds at my doorstep.
this time.
Absolutely cannot live up to it.
rush!
Go, go, go!!!
Liu Xiang's whole figure seemed to be at full throttle, with the cylinders raging, the speed of the hurdles becoming smoother and smoother, and the connection becoming more and more precise.
When he glanced over with his peripheral vision, Robles seemed to be suppressed. The only parallel point he could still see with his peripheral vision was Trammell in the fourth lane.
"Liu Xiang, speed up!"
"Liu Xiang, speed up!"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "There is a chance!!!"
"accelerate!!!"
When Liu Xiang crossed the last hurdle and entered the sprint, he was already in front, but Trammell was not stupid. He knew that his flat run should be faster, and he still had a chance here.
The two of them look like they were in 2007.
Entered the final sprint duel.
This time, Liu Xiang did not turn around and rushed out with all his strength.
At top speed, he rushed towards the finish line in front of him with an exaggerated amplitude.
This magnitude was so large that even Sun Haiping himself was trembling inside, fearing that something might go wrong.
On the contrary, Trammell was like the scene in the 2007 World Championships, "blessed to the soul", he turned his head and couldn't help but glance at Liu Xiang.
From this look, it seemed a little too early for him to finally push the line.
This is the power of competing on the same field.
If your rhythm is not as good as that of your opponent, you are likely to be affected by your opponent, especially in a high-tempo competition like the 110-meter hurdles.
The reliance on rhythm is even worse.
"Liu Xiang crossed the finish line!!!"
"The final result is..."
“7.39s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
"Liu Xiang got 7.39s!!!!!!!!!!! Liu Xiang broke 7.40s!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He refreshed his 60m PB at home!!"
!!!!!!!!!!!!”
It's just a pity that Trammell is also 7.39s.
Finally entered the final thousandth place showdown.
This period of time was really difficult. Almost everyone in the audience looked anxious, wishing to see the results immediately to feel at ease. As for Liu Xiang himself, he was supporting his knees and felt pain near the heel of his right foot.
sudden appearance.
Although someone has already told him this, it will be a common occurrence in the future.
This would happen if he exerted his full power, so he could only hold back the discomfort, took a breath, and turned to look at the electronic timer.
Not long after, the electronic timer gave the answer:
Liu Xiang 7.388s, Trammell 7.390s.
Liu Xiang defeated Trammell in two thousandths of a second.
Suddenly, the scene was almost heated by boiling water, and the roaring cheers and shouts instantly filled the entire Yangcheng Stadium.
"Liu Xiang, champion————————"
"Liu Xiang, champion————————"
"Liu Xiang, champion————————"
Hearing this, Liu Xiang ignored Sun Haiping and immediately brought someone over to check, and immediately took off the shoe on his right foot and loosened it.
He just felt that this scene seemed like he had seen and heard it in his dream.
After the summer of 2008.
He has always dreamed of hearing this voice at the door of his home, at an international competition.
Even Su Shen did not expect Liu Xiang to win this championship.
Next to the TV, I couldn't help but shout out.
Of course, he was not the only one who shouted in the entire lounge.
When Yu Weili and Feng Shuyong saw that Liu Xiang actually won the championship and won the gold medal, their faces were full of shock.
Then he looked happy.
ecstatic.
hard to control.
The next second.
I only heard Yang Jian's voice on the TV, which seemed to be trembling slightly, saying: "Liu Xiang, he won the championship at home!"
"He is the defending champion!!! The first person after Alan Johnson to defend the World Indoor Championship!!!"
"Although many people were not optimistic about him before the game, he proved with facts that as long as he plays, he will still have the heart of a champion."
"Still cannot be ignored."
"If miracles had color."
"That must be red."
"We grow flowers red."
