Men's 110m Hurdles
Competition time: Preliminaries on the 28th, finals on the 29th
Stars to follow: Robles, Oliver, Liu Xiang
Attention:★★★★★
Robles, 12.87 seconds; Liu Xiang, 12.85 seconds; Oliver, 12.95 seconds. The three top masters of the 110-meter hurdles in the world compete in the same field. Just thinking about it is exciting enough.
In the past two seasons, Oliver has created an 18-game unbeaten record from the end of August 2009 to May this year, and has been in the limelight for a while. However, with Liu Xiang and Robles returning from injury, Oliver's situation has become increasingly difficult.
Severe. This season, Robles has defeated Oliver twice in the Diamond League Paris Station and London Station, and his psychological advantage is more obvious. The competition between Liu Xiang and Oliver is even more intense. The Chinese flying man who has achieved a little success in the Diamond League has a small success in the Diamond League.
A strong takeoff in the Magic City station ended Oliver's winning streak. But soon, Oliver won the Eugene station with a time of 12.94 seconds - the first and only two times under 13 seconds this season.
—It’s better to defeat Liu Feiren and return the favor.
It can be said that the battle between three people when Mars hits the earth will definitely become the most exciting performance.

Men's 100 meters
Competition time: Preliminaries on the 27th, semi-finals and finals on the 28th
Stars to follow: Usain Bolt, Powell, Su Shen, Guy, Zhao Haohuan
Attention:★★★★★
Whether it is the Olympic Games or the World Championships, the men's 100-meter trapeze battle will always be the focus of attention around the world.
At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Bolt successively broke the men's 100m and 200m world records with times of 9.68 seconds and 19.28 seconds. At the 2009 World Championships in Berlin, Bolt continued his efforts to break the men's 100m world record.
The world record was raised to 9.55 seconds. This year in Lausanne, he set a record of 9.53 seconds in one go, and he was in excellent condition.
All mankind seems to place their hopes of challenging the human body's 100-meter limit speed on this Jamaican. Arriving in Daegu eleven days ahead of schedule this year also proves the Jamaican flying man's record-breaking belief.
For Bolt, there must be a strong opponent to stimulate his small universe.
Fortunately, Su Shen, Powell, and Gay are all here, and this game is still a continuation of Berlin in 2009.
Let's see if Bolt can continue to break through the night sky in Daegu, and let's see if our country's flying star Su Shen can make a breakthrough in the World Championships and win the first 100-meter silver medal in the World Championships to make up for Daegu's regret.

Attention:★★★★★
Among the 47 events at the World Championships, the men's and women's 100-meter event has the largest number of participants, with 80 men signing up and 79 women participating in the preliminaries. If the Bolt family dominates the men's 100-meter event, the women's 100-meter event
Rice is obviously showing a trend of beauty.
Women, let’s see if Chen Juan can continue to make breakthroughs this year and get a better ranking in the OW competition.

The best record is 10.87 seconds.
…
After the florist delegation went out to adapt to the venue, the entire venue was filled with fans of "Liu Xiang".
Hanlianlian News Agency reported the entire event as "'Yellow Bullet' Liu Xiang arrives in Daegu".
"At about 1 p.m., cheers and shouts of 'come on' in Chinese were heard outside Daegu International Airport. We knew it was Liu who was here."
Han United News Agency commented on Liu Xiang's competition, while Han Guo's "News" website used a set of vivid pictures to conduct a wonderful live show of Liu Xiang's competition after arriving in Daegu.
"I hope Liu will definitely defend Asia's self-esteem!"
This is the general tone of the cold media.
It can be seen that in this kind of world competition, Han Guo has no one, so he can only count on Liu Xiang, who is also from Asia, to perform well. In fact, among the short track events in Asia, only Liu Xiang has this ability.
Winning gold is possible.
""In the 2004 Athens Olympics, the 2007 World Athletics Championships in Osaka, Japan, and the 2009 Berlin, Liu fought alone and won the championship for all of Asia. This time it is Asia's home court. I hope we can still wait for Liu Xiang in four years.
Win the championship for Asia!"
"Asia Economy" may be one of the media in South Korea that has the honor to interview Liu Xiang. The magazine quoted Liu Xiang's famous saying before the start of the competition, "No regrets, no burden", in order to comment on Liu Xiang's performance at the Daegu Track and Field World Championships.
His performance in the competition was tracked and reported. When reporters from Hanguo asked Liu Xiang about the World Championships, Liu Xiang gave a simple answer: "I don't have any pressure. I am very confident in myself. I think
To make it easier to complete the game, I will do my best without leaving any regrets."

As soon as we got off the plane, the LED screen at Daegu Airport even had the words "Liu Xiang, the top men's 100-meter hurdler, welcome to Daegu" written in Chinese characters, which is enough to prove the high standards of the organizing committee's reception.
On the way from the airport to the hotel, the reporter discovered that the streets and alleys of Daegu were full of posters for the World Athletics Championships. Surprisingly, the protagonists in the posters were mostly Liu Xiang and Robles, not Bolt and others who ran the 100-meter dash.
People. Even the giant poster still shows Liu Xiang in the C position. It stands to reason that in such an international competition, the 100-meter dash should be the highlight. How could it be snatched away by the 110-meter hurdles?
The answer is: Although the Han Country can host the World Track and Field Championships, it is a weak country in track and field. The performance of the Han Country's track and field athletes is mediocre. Even in the Asian Track and Field Championships, they did not have the strength to win the gold medal, let alone the World Championships where masters gathered.
.Therefore, the cold media has a special liking for Liu Xiang.
Why?
Because if Liu Xiang wins, it is the face of Asia and the host country.
All good things come from Asians,
It’s an old routine in Asian media.
Even the first one on the official website is a high-definition photo of Liu Xiang, with the title saying: Yellow Bullet Liu maintains the dignity of Asia.
Gold medal, or gold medal in short track events, this is what everyone wants.
This is what Asia needs these days.
Even travel agencies came along.
The World Championships are just around the corner, and the "Liu Xiang fever" is also heating up. Some domestic travel agencies have taken advantage of the World Championships to launch a special route to visit Han Country to see the world champion Liu Xiang.
For example, a travel company launched a group ticket for "Come on Liu Xiang - IAAF Six Days and Six Nights in Daegu, South Korea".
It can be considered as enough heat.
Of course, they are also "professional", and it is clearly stated on the project that they have signed a contract with an airline in Hanguo, and have already obtained a ticket for Liu Xiang's three-shot game held at the Daegu Stadium that day.
Make sure to watch Liu Xiang's entire game.
The staff of the travel agency even proudly said: "More than 200 people have signed up so far. In order to attract more tourists, we have reduced the ticket price from the original 9999 yuan to 7699 yuan, which includes all Liu Xiang's games."
Just now, during the training to adapt to the venue, in just one and a half hours, 15 TV stations, including Hanguo and Flower Planters, and more than 100 reporters were on site to watch the training.
If nothing else, if you look at the background of these media, you will know how much they attach importance to:
Two TV stations, including CCTV5, BTV6, Magic City Five-Star Sports, and Hanguo’s KBS and CBS, set up cameras on the sidelines to record the entire process.
Liu Xiang only stretched and relaxed, and received a lot of spotlight.
In contrast, the Ukrainian athlete in the same 110-meter hurdles did not receive such treatment from the stars. His coach did not come, but he moved the hurdles by himself, set up a set of hurdles, and did
Training for leg raise hurdles.
Even the famous betting companies bwin and bet365 have offered winning odds for the 110-meter hurdles. The Cuban genius Robles was the most favored, followed by Oliver second, and the flying star Liu Xiang followed closely in third place.
Among them, the odds offered by the Cubans for the championship are 2.20 to 1.
Oliver, who had great success last year, ranked second at 3.75 to 1.
Liu Xiang ranked third with a loss of 5.00 to 1.
The reason is of course Liu Xiang's injury, otherwise bwin and bet365 would have paid close attention to him, and they would have placed Liu Xiang further ahead.
If you look at this scene, it's like the officials from the Han Kingdom came out to help Liu Xiang stand up. This is a gold medal.
Do you still think that only flower growers are like this?
At present, in sprint events, the whole of Asia is actually "gold medal only".
…
At night, Liu Xiang and Su Shen were walking in the hotel yard.
The two may be equal at home, but here, Liu Xiang, who obviously has a chance to win, is under greater pressure.
And Han Guo has come to the platform, it’s just like... Liu Xiang doesn’t seem to be able to win if he doesn’t win.
All are impossible.
In fact, even Su Shen has never experienced this kind of pressure to win.
Because no one thinks he will win.
Naturally, no one will criticize him because he will lose.
Even "love turns to hate" and "hate arises from love". If you lose, you will turn from fanaticism to anger.
So far, Su Shen has not experienced such tremendous pressure.
"Brother Xiang, you don't look like you are facing the media during the day." Su Shen spoke first.
"Don't make fun of me. You know, I can't help it. With so many people looking at me right now, even if I say 'I'm tired', I'm afraid it will lead to big consequences. People will say that
Inflating the enemy's ambition will destroy your own prestige." Liu Xiang shook his head as he walked and said with a wry smile: "Obviously, I am still recovering from an injury, right?"
"Who told you to win the competition in Berlin? Naturally, everyone will look forward to you even more."
"Looking forward to our three consecutive championships in a short period of time."
"When I was in Berlin, I really didn't know that I could win. It was a bit of luck. The opponents were not very good. But this time the situation is different. All the powerful people are here. I can't be as relaxed as people say." Liu Xiang said.
Finally, looking at the moon in Daegu, I feel that it is only a little more relaxed at night.
"Yes, not only the more than one billion people in the country, but now all of Asia, and even the people of Han, which claims to be the center of the universe, are on your side. The expectations of billions of Asians are not high." Su Shen
Thinking about it, I feel that this pressure is really as heavy as a mountain. It is hard to breathe just thinking about it, not to mention that he has been carrying it for so many years since 2004.
"Do you think I can win?" Liu Xiang said suddenly.
Although Su Shen is the core soul in Ersha Island, in the 110-meter hurdles, Su Shen is not so professional.
Liu Xiang asked, maybe just for psychological comfort.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But Su Shen nodded and said: "I think you are capable of winning, and the adjustment of the competition is your strength, brother Xiang. As long as you have better luck, don't
Just encounter the non-competitive elements."
"Haha." Liu Xiang smiled and said: "You are really optimistic about me. I don't have much confidence now. Robles, Oliver, no one is simple, and they are all healthier and younger than me.
, in the blink of an eye...it seems that youth is not my advantage anymore."
Su Shen did not answer the call, because he knew very well that Liu Xiang really wanted to win the championship in his previous life.
There is absolutely no problem with strength.
Even the distance from the championship was only about ten meters.
If Robles hadn't hit him continuously by holding hands, he would have won the championship long ago based on the situation of the game.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows this.
Therefore, in terms of strength, he is more confident than Liu Xiang himself.
Therefore, what Liu Xiang has to worry about is not a matter of strength at all.
But...it's a question of order.
Of course, this problem is not difficult to solve.
Su Shen smiled and said: "Brother Xiang, I made a fortune yesterday. It would be better for you not to exert too much effort in the semifinals."
"It also helps save physical energy and reduce the possibility of injuries during the finals."
"Do you know how to tell fortunes?" Liu Xiang was stunned, but when he saw Su Shen's evil smile, he immediately shook his head and said with a smile: "Just saying, that's amazing, but you gave me a wake-up call, in the semi-finals
In fact, it’s better to save some energy.”
"I'm not young anymore, am I?"
"That's right." Su Shen also smiled and said: "You have to follow physiological laws. And when you were in Berlin or Osaka, didn't you actually save your energy for the semi-finals? Maybe this is God's guidance."
"Okay, okay." Liu Xiang didn't take fortune-telling seriously. He simply felt that Su Shen's joke contained pertinent scientific advice: "I'll talk to the master later and see what he thinks."
The two walked away again, Liu Xiang turned around and asked Su Shen: "What about you?"
"What do you think about this World Championships?"
"Me?" Su Shen thought for a while and said:
"What else can I think about."
Su Shen raised his head and looked at the moon, which was quite good tonight, and slowly said:
"It depends on whether God will reward you or not."
"Huh?" Liu Xiang was stunned, but he also understood that Su Shen's project was too difficult. He reached out to comfort Su Shen and said: "There is no way. If my project has such an epoch-making superman, I can't do anything."
"This is not your problem."
"This is God's fault."
Su Shen was also amused by these words, and the two chatted for a while and cheered each other up.
They all went back to their rooms.
After returning home, Su Shen finished washing, lay on the bed, and muttered a few more words silently.
