Beijing time on September 2nd, in the men's 200m semi-finals of the 2011 Daegu World Athletics Championships, Jamaican flying star Bolt won the first place in the group in 19.90 seconds, defeating Blake. After the game, Bolt once again said: "
This is the project that I care about most, and they can’t beat me here.”
"You win some and you lose some, and I've come out of it. I made a mistake and I need to move on."
At the Beijing Olympics and the World Championships in Berlin, Bolt said that his favorite was the 200-meter dash. However, there was a mistake in the 100-meter dash in this competition. Naturally, the 200-meter dash was regarded as his final territory by Lightning, so he
You must go all out: "The 200-meter dash is my biggest hobby. In the final, I had seven competitors, but none of them were my opponents because I was in good condition."
At 20:20 on September 3, the men's 200m final will begin, and Bolt will launch an attack on his fourth World Championship gold medal.
[Bolt: In the 200m final, he will compete with himself and enjoy the joy of winning the championship!]
"I'm not nervous at all. I haven't been affected in any way by the previous competition. I think I've said it before. After all, I'm just competing against myself, and no one is faster than me." Bolt said confidently.
.
However, for the final, Bolt and coach Mills had differences of opinion. The coach warned him to hold back at the start. After all, he had guaranteed strength, but he was quite confident in his starting skills: "My coach is very confident about his starting skills.
I said, let me relax a little and don't have to rush out so much, but I don't think it is necessary to do this, I know that as long as I move at the right time, it is not difficult to master this."
It seems that although he suffered a loss due to pressing the gun, Bolt does not think that he will fall in the same place twice.
…
When resting in the hotel at night, Zhou Bing saw this and immediately asked Su Shendao: "Does he still want to shoot in the finals?"
"real or fake?"
"So bold?"
Bolt's only vitality is actually recognized as the starting stage, which is why he spends so much time and energy adjusting in winter training.
But... after Su Shen saw the news, he didn't even raise his head, he was just writing something and said: "It's weird that he dares."
Four words explain Su Shen's current attitude towards this matter.
Even if Bolt really dares, Mills will tell him not to mess around. If he does it again, it will really... become a hot news and world meme for several months.
This is definitely not a good thing for Bolt.
Moreover, in his last life, Su Shen remembered very clearly that this guy who said he had to press the gun in the 200-meter race, in fact, his starting reaction in the 200-meter final should be the last one, and the last one.
So this is just Bolt's bluff.
Don't take it seriously.
"Even if this is the case, no one can win him." Zhou Bing complained: "This guy is too strong. The score of 19.10 is still against the wind. Is this really something that humans can do?"
"Of course." Su Shen said to Zhou Bing while writing: "The limit of 200 meters is definitely not that point. As long as the right time, place and people are available, maybe 19 seconds under impact is not impossible."
"Then only he can do it." Zhou Bing spread his hands and said, "That's not just because he's playing alone."
"Although there won't be too many people who can do it, but if you want to say that only one person can do it, it's hard to say."
At this time, the TV was playing the promotion for tomorrow's match. Just after Bolt passed by, there was another figure wearing a Jamaican sportswear...
He is no one else.
It's none other than Yohan Blake.
…
The next day soon arrived.
The curse of Daegu seems to be continuing.
Cuban star Savigni is the champion of the Osaka World Championships and the Berlin World Championships. Her best score is 15.28 meters. Because of such a big title, Savigni was well deserved to be chosen as the cover of the day.
But no one expected...
The two-time World Championships champion strained her thigh during her third trial jump and had to withdraw from the competition early. Savigny was carried out of the arena by volunteers, and her score in last night's defending trip was fixed at 14
Meter 43. The championship was won by Ukrainian player Sara Duha with a score of 14.94 meters.
Thor Hildsen, known as the "Pole Vault Beckham", after entering the finals, heard people talking about this, he was a little frightened and said: "I hope I don't appear on the cover."
In the men's high jump final, Chinese teenager Zhang Guowei ranked 10th with a score of 2.25 meters.
Bolt was also confused by this.
According to the practice of the World Championships, after the competition starts, the organizer will publish an official competition guide magazine every day. The cover characters of the magazine are the big-name celebrities who are most promising to win the championship that day, and today's——————
What the hell is it about me???
Bolt is simply going crazy.
Looking at himself in the "Lightning Shooting Sun" pose in the competition guide magazine, he always felt... a little hot.
Why is it still me?
This damn Daegu Organizing Committee did this on purpose, right?
I've already done it once, why do I do it again?
But this is meaningless, because there have been precedents in the past, such as Lewis.
So Bolt can only ask for his own blessings.
"So, you don't want to jump the gun in the final, okay?" Mills took the opportunity to convince Bolt. When the latter saw this, he had nothing to say and immediately nodded in agreement.
The entire sixth day was the main show for Americans.
In the women's 1500-meter final, American player Simpson became the biggest dark horse. She surpassed all opponents in the final crazy sprint and won the championship in 4 minutes, 05 seconds and 40 seconds.
In the men's high jump event, the Russian star Dmitryk, who had high hopes, failed to withstand the overtaking of American player Williams in the final stage. The latter won the championship with 2.35 meters.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! American player Demus won the women's 400-meter hurdles final in 52.47 seconds and set the world's best result this year.
These three consecutive gold medals also allowed the American team to finally breathe a sigh of relief on the gold medal list.
Otherwise, this year would really not go well, and I would almost be overturned in various ways.
On the women's side, Chen Juan also relied on Xiao Q to finish last yesterday and advance to the finals.
From the perspective of Wei Yongli, the competition in the women's group is really cruel. Chen Juan obviously ran 22.80s. Such a result...
I had already tied my best score, and that time there was a strong tailwind of more than one meter. It was still almost a calm wind, and my hard power had improved by at least one level. But... I still had to press the line to get in.
This is not because Chen Juan's performance is not good, it is entirely because the other people's performance is too brutal.
Take a look at the top few in the first group. Carmelita Jeter, the new 100-meter champion, was able to break the 22.50s mark against the wind by 0.7. This strength is really terrifying.
Sherron Simpson was second, and when he saw that he couldn't catch up with Jeter, he gave up, with a time of 22.88s.
Next, Maria Remien also ran 22.94s, and Ana Claudia Lemos also ran 22.97s.
In the second group, Sharonda Solomon 22.46s, Colon Stewart 22.74.
Secondly, Christina Stoy also had 22.79s, Chen Juan had 22.80s, Ferguson McKenzie also had 22.85s, and even Daphne Hippers, who was sixth, also had 22.92s. You have to know her
But in 1992, I had just turned 19, and the potential of these people really made Asian 200-meter athletes feel unreal.
The top six in this group all opened for 23 seconds. This result is really unimaginable in Asia.
It's really... so exciting.
The third group was led by Veronica Campbell-Brown, who took first place in the competition in 22.53s.
Allison Felix 22.67s.
The remaining results were: Yvette Lalova Corio’s 23.03s, and Kay Selvin’s 23.11s.
Therefore, comparing the men's group, the women's group is actually somewhat similar. The second group is also a group of death. The top six all open for 23 seconds. This kind of grand occasion is a performance that is only seen in the finals many times.
Chen Juan had 22.80s and could only make up for the last one, almost being kicked off.
However, Chen Juan was satisfied after entering the final. After all, it was simply a wishful thinking to reach the final stage in the 200 meters.
Chen Juan has competed in the OW competition for so many years and entered the 200m final. This is actually the first time.
So she is already satisfied with her Daegu 200m result.
Just let nature take its course in the finals. These big guys are going to fight hard, but I can't get involved yet.
Chen Juan's estimation is very clear. If she struggles with the 200 meters, she will probably die of discomfort, because the gap between her and these international big shots in the 200 meters is still quite big.
Therefore, for her, 200 meters is not more important than 100 meters.
At present, her 200 meters is still in the accumulation period, and she is satisfied with being able to do this.
Now the 200-meter race in China is a period of accumulation. If you want to achieve results, you still need to have more thickness overall.
Similar to 100 meters, you should not expect that you will suddenly get a good result. Generally speaking, before you run this good result, you have actually already had a lot of thickness. These thicknesses may not look as "bright" as your good result.
Eye".
But they are definitely the strongest boost you can give to achieve your goals.
Because there are many things that you have to run through to know what they are like.
As Su Shen himself said, after running 9.90 several times, he knew that if 9.85s should be handled well, there would be no problem.
When he ran 9.83 seconds and reviewed and reflected on himself, he could confidently say that there was definitely still room.
Therefore, every improvement is a building block for your future to hit a higher point.
When high-rise buildings were first built, thickness was very important and there was no need to rush.
After everyone had dinner, the warm-up session quickly began.
When Su Shen was on the sidelines, he saw Bolt and Blake both appearing at the scene.
Interestingly, Mills stood in the middle of them this time.
Both sides are providing constant guidance.
This change in detail also represents a change in Mills' inner mentality. Of course he cares more about Bolt. After all, Bolt is still very young and he also has the potential to achieve higher, faster and stronger results.
But since the younger Blake has shown potential, as a famous coach, he does not want to give up easily.
This may be a common problem as a coach.
Saw this kind of exceptionally talented piece of jade.
To be honest, few people can resist carving.
It’s just that the resources Mills had before were too good.
It seems that ordinary candidates and ordinary geniuses are not worthy in his eyes.
But this time it seems to be different.
The strength and energy shown by Blake, especially when he was able to show his prominence in the 200 meters and explode with such terrifying potential... Mills really couldn't sit still.
Because people who can reach excellence in 100 meters and 200 meters at the same time.
Even in that famous sport, it is very rare.
Bolt is able to reach the top level in both events. This is his value, which is something that ordinary 100-meter masters cannot do. Before, he thought that Blake was only specialized in the 100-meter event and might have stronger potential, so his
In terms of overall performance, even if the 100 meters is getting better and better, it is definitely still not as comprehensive as Bolt.
But this time at the World Championships, after Blake showed his potential in the 200 meters, Mills was a little shocked.
Not only was he shocked by the potential of his somewhat neglected disciple.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! And you have to know that even though Blake achieved such results, he still did not have access to all the coaching resources of Mills. He was able to open up such a world on his own.
In addition, his training attitude and self-discipline are far superior to Bolt's. As a result, Mills has to really pay attention to this disciple who he had neglected before.
It's just that now I have two super geniuses on hand.
This is something that has never happened before in the history of track and field.
How to deal with two people?
How to allocate the resources between the two people is probably a big problem that will test Mills' subsequent ability.
But now that he is tempted, he will always have his own way to solve it.
Especially before this game.
In a lounge in Jamaica.
Bolt had already left for the interview in advance, while Blake sat quietly in a chair with his eyes closed to relax.
First, he is not as popular as Bolt, and second, he is not Bolt's particularly outgoing character.
Steady accumulation of energy before the game is his personal favorite method.
Mills actually doesn't like Bolt's sports style. In Bolt's autobiography, you can often see the contradiction between Mills and him. The main focus is that Bolt is more casual and lazy.
I am not particularly motivated and want to keep making further progress.
Mills actually hopes that Bolt can realize his talents perfectly.
Don't waste anything.
It's just that Bolt is so good that in order to deal with the relationship with Bolt, he had to make some kind of compromise.
But with Blake's training spirit and game attitude, he doesn't need to worry about it at all. Blake is also quite clean in his private life off the court. Even Bolt said that Blake is sometimes very dull and boring.
But as a coach, of course, I still prefer athletes who are self-disciplined and train hard, and don’t need to spend too much energy on their own to motivate themselves.
It's just that if there hasn't been such a person with the same talent level before, then you can only settle for the next best thing.
But it seems that God was particularly lucky with me, and actually gave me a super genius, and then gave me another one, and judging from the situation, I might be a double genius in both 100-meter and 200-meter races.
Mills even felt that he owed Blake a little before.
So he took the initiative to walk to Blake and asked: "Youhan, don't you listen to music before the game? It's better to relax yourself. Being too tight may have side effects on the game state."
If this were Usain Bolt, he would definitely talk to Mills about all kinds of music and his favorite albums.
But Blake is not such a person.
He opened his eyes and glanced at Mills, then continued to close his eyes and replied calmly:
"Coach, this is the best way for me to adjust my condition before the game."
"I need to fully concentrate before the game."
"In this way, we can defeat Usain and win the championship in the upcoming competition."
When Blake said these words, there was no particularly big mood swing, but when these words fell on Mills's ears...
But it is more shocking than shouting from a tweeter.
He may have thought about Blake's desire to challenge Bolt.
But he never thought about it.
The young disciple sitting in front of me has such a strong desire for gold medals.
