Chapter 1598 Istanbul, lets defend the title together
sports news.
my country's famous hurdler Liu Xiang ran a 60-meter time of 7.40 seconds in the first race at the Birmingham Indoor Games. Not only did he take first place, he almost broke his own Asian 60-meter hurdles record.
The 2012 IAAF Birmingham Indoor Charter kicked off. In the men's 60-meter hurdles final, Chinese flying star Liu Xiang defeated Cuban star Robles to win the championship with a time of 7.40 seconds. This result not only created a season best for the 60-meter hurdles
The result was extremely close to the Asian record of 7.39s held by Liu Xiang himself. Robles finished second in 7.50 seconds, and American Falk ranked third in 7.54 seconds.
For Liu Xiang, Birmingham's indoor track is no stranger. In 2003, he won a bronze medal at the World Indoor Championships held here. Standing on this venue again after 9 years, Liu Xiang's achievements and experiences are completely different.
Different, he also started his first run of the London Olympics year from here. In the previous 60-meter hurdles preliminaries, Liu Xiang easily secured the first place in the group with 7 seconds 49 and successfully advanced to the finals. The Cuban genius Robles won the first place in another group.
Winning the first place with a time of 7 seconds 57.
Since Robles was disqualified from last year's World Championships in Daegu for a "thug foul" against Liu Xiang, the two met again this time and attracted attention. In the end, the organizing committee placed Liu Xiang in the fifth lane, while Robles moved from
Starting from the third road, the two are not adjacent to each other.
When the starting gun was fired, Liu Xiang rushed out quickly. His reaction time of 0.154 seconds ranked fourth, which was not very good. However, in the flat running stage, Liu Xiang was very fast and entered the first hurdle and attack hurdle ahead of other players.
At this stage, Liu Xiang continued to lead with his excellent rhythm. At this time, Robles also accelerated his frequency, and gradually narrowed the gap with Liu Xiang after passing the third hurdle. At the critical moment, Liu Feiren accelerated again, and during the sprint
Further consolidating his advantage. In the end, Liu Xiang came out on top with a time of 7.40 seconds, defeating his opponent and taking first place.
If Liu Xiang had reacted a little faster this time, he might have broken the record.
After all, 0.154s is not a fast reaction for Liu Xiang.
Such a performance in the first game is really shocking.
…
Liu Xiang's results in this first game were simply explosive. They were almost the same as in his previous life, and now they are still highly anticipated.
Especially when Su Shen's technical reform seems a bit "sluggish".
Even more so.
"Who said Liu Xiang has a weakness in the first half of the game? The Olympics can be expected with seven steps!"
At this time last year, Liu Feiren dragged his feet that were still aching and only ran 7.55 seconds at the German indoor competition. It was Liu Xiang's difficult attempt to return to the competition while he was recovering from a foot injury.
Liu Xiang's first performance at the beginning of this year can be described as testing the results of winter training without caring about performance gains and losses. It is really amazing!
Liu Xiang's physical condition this year has almost completely gotten rid of injuries, and he has become more comfortable in competitions. Before the game, both his leader Toyo Shuyong and coach Sun Haiping tried to reduce the pressure for him, saying that he should run as hard as he could and not focus on results. But everyone
Everyone understands that this year is an Olympic year. When Su Shen's performance is "sluggish", it is of great strategic significance whether Liu Xiang can get off to a good start. From today's preliminaries of 7 seconds 49 to the finals of 7 seconds 40, Liu Xiang performed completely normally.
At the peak level, it is completely reasonable to beat Robles and others.
Liu Xiang led all the way from the start, and was the first to cross the finish line. After winning the championship, Liu Xiang was very happy, with a smile on his face. His opponents also congratulated Liu Feiren, and Liu Xiang also raised his index finger at the camera. Luo
Bosi seemed a little unhappy and did not even hug Liu Xiang.
"Athletics Federation: Liu Xiang "stole" the spotlight and regretted that Robles did not prove himself"
"Liu Xianglong won his first championship in the year without any trouble, this year's best result in the world and Asia's record"
When Liu Xiang himself was interviewed, he was finally "different" from his "low-key" attitude in previous years. This time, at the beginning of the new year, he revealed his long-hidden "fangs and claws."
"Some people say that flower grower athletes generally have weak prospects, and there is no exception before. Some people say that your shortcomings in your future can never be solved and you can't beat Robles. What do you think?" the reporter asked.
"I did something today that I never dared to think about. There are things that many people don't believe. I also did it today. Is there anything impossible?" Liu Xiang did not cover up this time. He looked at the reporter with suppressed eyes.
After several years of being a champion, he finally began to show off his dominance: "This question of yours would have made sense before, but whoever believes it now is a fool."
"I may have thought this before, but when I saw the 100-meter movement, we can all be the fastest to start our future. This kind of pure running can be done, so why can't we do short strides?" Liu Xiang
He said seriously to the camera: "I think Su Shen lit up a direction for me in the 100 meters and let me know that in fact, we yellow people not only have no disadvantages in the future, as long as our muscles and physical fitness can keep up and develop reasonably and scientifically,
We are actually no worse than anyone else.”
"Even...we are better than the rest."
"After having this belief, coupled with the new system training from Mr. Ralph Mann and my master, I feel this even more deeply."
"So, I think so now. Our future will never be a weakness."
"Coaches and athletes watching this competition, let me tell you now, whether it is the 100-meter or 110-meter hurdles, as long as we do a good job in scientific physical development, make use of the attributes that Asians are most suitable for building muscles, and make the highest
Once the testosterone system is developed, we will definitely have a bright future."
"I can."
"You can do it too."
Liu Xiang's words are almost exactly the same as what Su Shen said when he won the 60-meter world indoor championship for the first time.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It is necessary for famous and influential athletes like them to publicize it in public, so that more ordinary people can feel this belief and let this
Beliefs spread on a wider scale.
Eventually more flower growers and even Asians were infected.
We no longer subconsciously think that our future is not good.
This will never break the mental shackles.
Liu Xiang now understands more and more why Su Shen said these seemingly "nonsense" things in interviews and on camera over the years.
Little Tim.
I think you must mean the same thing.
"What is your impression of the American player Merritt next to you? He said that he admires you very much and that you are his idol." asked an American reporter.
"This is a pretty good player. I'm very grateful for his love. I hope he can continue to work hard and achieve good results in the Olympic year."
This is not Liu Xiang’s intention. It’s just that these days, Merritt’s name is really not good enough. He has never opened it for more than 13 seconds, and his various results are not outstanding. He is not in the top three among American players, whether it is Oliver or
Richardson, the runner-up at last year's World Championships, will be even more memorable.
The most important thing is that this guy... doesn't seem to have defeated me.
It seems that I have never won any game except myself.
Such an opponent would naturally not attract too much attention from Liu Xiang.
It will not attract more attention from Liu Xiang's team.
This is a normal situation, and he is not a prophet. No one knows that this young and transparent person from the United States who is currently performing mediocrely will suddenly super-evolve this year and become so powerful all of a sudden.
To be honest, Su Shen wouldn't care if he didn't reopen. Merritt's progress has actually reached a mythical level this year.
Although he only remained strong for one year, he quickly declined.
But this year he.
Definitely the strongest opponent Liu Xiang has ever encountered in his career, or any short span athlete.
Not even one.
Historically, the one who defeated him at the Istanbul World Indoor Championships was the temporarily unknown Merritt who was beginning to prepare for his rise.
"So are you confident in breaking the 7.39s you set at the Yangcheng World Indoor Championships?" a domestic reporter asked.
When Liu Xiang saw that it was one of his own, he immediately smiled and said: "If I hadn't just come out of the competition and haven't found my condition yet, or if I had reacted faster, wouldn't it have been broken already?"
"Su Shen told me that if we can't run ahead, we can't run ahead. This is a hugely prejudiced thought."
"Now, I also want to break this prejudice and point out a way for sprint athletes across Asia."
After that, after asking a few more questions, the question inevitably shifted to Su Shen. After all, the two leading figures in track and field in Asia are Liu and Su.
"What do you think of Su Shen's recent downturn? Is it true that he is too confident or even arrogant as said online, and then puts himself in a difficult position and cannot recover?"
Hearing the reporter's question, Liu Xiang looked at the camera, as if he had known that the reporter would ask this. He motioned for the camera to move closer, and then he punched his chest at the camera and said: "I think strength speaks for itself in many things."
. Some rumors are unfounded. Facts speak louder than words. It mainly depends on your performance. This cannot be deceived. I used to be fast, and I can be fast now."
"I'm sure you are too."
"As for whether there should be any technical changes in winter training, you will know later, and I am not in a position to say more."
"The only thing I want to say now is..."
"Little Tim."
"I'm waiting for you in Europe."
"Istanbul."
"Let's defend the title together."
"Together we can win the world championship that everyone thinks we can't win."
Su Shen has actually landed in Europe at this time and is preparing to participate in the indoor competition here to give himself a feeling of competition.
Improve further and then hit Istanbul.
Facing Liu Xiang's statement, Su Shen smiled slightly and gave the answer in his heart.
But now he really wants to meet up with Liu Xiang's team in Istanbul.
Participate in the next indoor competition.
and.
There was a question that he wanted to ask. It was 2012, and he had been preparing for Liu Xiang for four years this time.
A whole Olympic cycle.
We must not let what happened at the Bird's Nest happen again.
At this time, his mobile phone page just stayed on the open news column, which read:
"Liu Xiang's start to the 2012 Olympics will be a replica of 08, or will the "Bird's Nest" tragedy happen again?" (This report is true, it's such a coincidence.)
