Chapter 1610 Istanbul World Indoor Championships, the first competition of 2012 begins
[Liu Xiang’s opponent was mediocre in the two-hour match at the World Indoor Championships]
In two days, Liu Xiang and his party will move from London to Turkey to prepare for the World Indoor Track and Field Championships. As the first competition of this year, Liu Xiang and his party are also fully prepared. Although there is news before the game, many old enemies of the United States
It has been confirmed that he will miss this competition, and Robles has also stopped due to injury, but Liu Xiang still cannot neglect it. After all, it is easy for dark horses to appear in track and field competitions. According to the schedule, Liu Xiang’s first shot in the preliminaries will be on the 10th and 15th Beijing time:
40 starts.
In addition, it is well known that Robles, the real strong enemy in this World Championships, has been suffering from injuries due to lack of potassium in his body, flat feet and long-term fatigue. This year, he has never broken the 7.50 mark. In fact, in Birmingham,
Winning second place in 7.50 seconds is already Robles' best result in the past two years. Robles has never broken through 7.40 seconds in the new Olympic cycle. In other words, Liu Xiang has already broken through 7.40 seconds in this World Championships in Turkey.
Falling into a lonely and defeated situation.
The 2012 World Track and Field Indoor Championships will be held in Istanbul, Turkey from March 9th to 11th. The men's 60-meter hurdles competition is divided into preliminaries, semifinals and finals. The preliminaries will be held at 15:40 on March 10th, Beijing time. 3
The semi-finals and finals will be held consecutively at 20:45 and 23:20 on September 11th. It is worth noting that the interval between the two games is only more than two hours. This is a great test for Liu Xiang's physical strength.
[Liu Xiang has participated in the World Indoor Championships four times, with results of two gold medals, one silver and one bronze]
In his first competition in 2003, he won the bronze medal in 7.52 seconds. He was the only Asian athlete to win a medal in that competition, achieving a breakthrough of "zero" medals for domestic male athletes in this event in 18 years. In the 2004 Indoor World Championships, he finished in 7.43 seconds.
The runner-up also broke the Asian record. He won the gold medal at the 2008 Indoor World Championships and defended the title at the 2010 Indoor World Championships in Yangcheng. If he can do it in Istanbul this year, he will complete the honor of winning three consecutive championships in both the indoor and outdoor world championships. This will also be
The only one.
[Liu Xiang secretly trains in London to focus on gun running for the World Championships]
According to Sun Haiping, he had a long exchange with Liu Xiang on the issue of false starts. The two analyzed various situations that occurred on the court in detail to find the cause of the problem. In the end, the two reached a consensus, that is, to be objective
The factors do exist, but the main reason is that he is not focused enough mentally. Therefore, in preparation for this World Championships, Liu Xiang must work harder on the process of listening to the gun and running, and strive to be foolproof. In addition, he must continue to strengthen Liu Xiang.
Xiang’s ability in the first half of the race and his ability to handle the transition from the starting point to the first and second hurdles further improved Liu Xiang’s competitiveness in the World Championships.
In fact, there was no problem with this decision. This time Liu Xiang was really affected by his lack of concentration at the start. I don’t know what will happen this time.
I hope that after doing what I have done, I can change Liu Xiang’s regret of missing out on the championship this time.
Of course, opponents cannot be underestimated either.
Su Shen also hopes that Liu Xiang and Liu Xiang's team can take his opponent seriously for the first time.
It seems that no strong opponent will come to Istanbul this time. Liu Xiang's call to win the championship is ranked No. 1 both domestically and internationally.
You can tell just by looking at these reports.
It has even arrived in China, and I feel like I have something in my pocket.
In fact, Su Shen knew that the other person was actually ready.
He is ready to make a splash this year.
I hope Liu Xiang can feel the pressure from this "newcomer".
Except for Liu Xiang, Su Shen's reports seem to be much less.
[Su Shen will participate in the Istanbul World Indoor Championships, and the three shots will be on the morning of the 10th and the evening of the next day.]
Compared to Liu Xiang, there are obviously less reports on him, but this is also normal. First of all, Liu Xiang's results this year are the best in the world, and he has also refreshed his personal and Asian records.
In addition to his opponents, basically none of them came.
Regardless of whether it is Oliver, Richardson or Robles, they all announced their absence from the game.
This will naturally make everyone feel that Liu Xiang's gold medal is secure.
Compared with Liu Xiang, Su Shen is obviously not that good-looking. He only has a time of 6.45 seconds, and the current world best time this season has been refreshed to 6.40 seconds by Justin Gatlin, who has made a strong comeback.
In addition, before the Istanbul competition, a comparison of the two people's overall results in other competitions showed that Su Shen seemed to be much weaker.
No matter how you look at it, it seems like Gatlin is in better shape and strength.
Therefore, based on this situation, neither the media nor the official will focus on Su Shen's promotion.
In terms of the media, this is because there is no selling point, and Asian countries prefer the "gold medal effect" these days. If you don't win the gold medal, you naturally won't get that much attention.
Officially, it was entirely based on Liu Xiang's tragic experience in the Bird's Nest, Yuan Guoqiang, Yu Shili Feng Shuyong and others came to the conclusion that without Duo Jin's absolute strength and recent performance.
It would be better for the official to reduce publicity and reduce heat output.
Otherwise, if you promote it so enthusiastically, once you lose, the public will really be greatly disparate. When the time comes, most of this disparity will probably come back to the athletes themselves.
Since Su Shen did not do much publicity, Gatlin's team also thought that Su Shen's condition was really not good after getting a summary of the news in this regard.
After all, in the two or three games before Istanbul, his results were just around 6.50 seconds.
This result is certainly not bad.
Being able to run under 6.50 seconds is definitely a good result in the world, but there is no way. Gatlin is in great shape this year. He thinks he can break 6.40 seconds.
This result would definitely have no chance of winning against the previous Su Shen Powell or Bolt, and it would not make a splash at all. But now these people either do not participate, or there is something wrong with winter training, and that happens to be Gatlin
, after returning from suspension, you can strongly promote your own good opportunities.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Thinking of this, Gatlin immediately used his big mouth attribute and said in a public interview with the media:
"I'm here just to win the championship."
"You know, I'm already thinking about how to spend the bonus after winning the championship."
"Of course Su is very strong, but he is not what he is this year."
Before he got on the plane to come to Europe, he accepted a short connection. During the connection, he directly emphasized:
"Have you never considered the 6-second-40-level opponent?"
"Then I'll open 6 Seconds 40 and show him!"
"Look at the athletes at the 6.30-second level. Will he consider it?"
Gatlin's domineering declaration naturally spread across the country during this connection before boarding the plane. They Americans like such speeches.
Gatlin also captured this point accurately.
He immediately gained a lot of popularity and attention.
As a player who was overrated and basically "has-been" last year, he desperately wants to win back everything he once had.
This time he finally saw an opportunity. His condition has improved significantly after winter training this year, and his technical modifications have been completed. His running style has perfectly changed from a balanced late-range type to a balanced forward type.
He changed this running method last year.
I finally got it done during winter training this year.
After putting in so much effort, Gatlin even thought he deserved this opportunity.
The first major game of the new season is my best performance stage.
Veterans make a strong comeback, veterans never die, and prodigal sons turn back.
If you add these elements together, there will be no one in the world who doesn't like to see it.
Another wave of marketing.
It will definitely be fine.
Seeing Gatlin's heroic declaration, many domestic track and field fans certainly felt angry, but Su Shen's performance this year is currently much lower than Gatlin's.
So I can only endure it for the time being.
There is no foundation for achievement.
In the world of competitive sports.
I don’t have the confidence to say anything.
This is true in any competitive event.
Not to mention track and field events.
But fortunately, there are no winning generals in the sports world. Even Usain Bolt loses sometimes. As long as Su Shen is still young, they think Gatlin is too old to be able to reach the top in a few years.
Normal people must think so. Who knew this guy could run for so many years.
He can even kill Bolt, who is much smaller than himself.
Anyway, Gatling's battery life.
That is absolutely top-notch history.
Even Su Shen thought there was nothing to say about this.
At this time, China also began to officially announce the 14-man roster for this year’s World Indoor Championships:
Men, 60 meters: Su Shen, Wen Yongyi; 60 meter hurdles: Liu Xiang, Shi Dongpeng; Triple jump: Dong Bin; Long jump: Su Xiongfeng; High jump: Zhang Guowei. Women, 60 meters: Tao Yujia, Wei Yongli; 60 meter hurdles: Sun Yawei
; Shot put: Liu Xianrong; triple jump: Xie Limei, Li Yanmei; high jump: Zheng Xingjuan.
The 2012 World Indoor Track and Field Championships will be held in Turkey from March 9th to 11th. The Flower Planters Corps will send 14 athletes to participate in 10 events including the men's and women's 60m and the men's and women's 60m hurdles.
Among the male athletes, Liu Xiang and Shi Dongpeng will participate in the 60-meter hurdles. Liu Xiang has participated in the 4 Indoor World Championships in 2003, 2004, 2008 and 2010, winning bronze, silver, gold and gold medals respectively. Su Shen will participate in the men's In the 60-meter event, he won the gold medal in the men's 60-meter event at the World Indoor Championships in 2006 and 2008. Wen Yongyi also won the bronze medal at the World Indoor Championships in 2010.
"We have made great breakthroughs in the last five or six years at the World Indoor Championships. We hope that we can still achieve excellent results this time and defend the championship in several key final events." Toyoki Toyoshu faced at the press conference of the roster. The memory person said: "Liu Xiang and Su Shen are still the focus of winning the gold medal this time. Liu Xiang may have a higher probability of winning the gold medal, but the news revealed to me by Su Shen is that his training status is quite good, although it seems that he has recently won the gold medal. His results in several games are not as good as Gatlin's, but he is making technical and tactical adjustments. As for what kind of state he can be in to participate in Istanbul, I think everyone can wait and see."
This can be regarded as him speaking for Su Shen.
But if your grades are not good these days, you will naturally be questioned by others.
Moreover, there are so many self-media and rhythmic people preparing to cause trouble.
This kind of person seems to have completely forgotten one thing...
That is, whether it is Liu Xiang or Su Shen.
They are all the pioneers who have won honors in key events in our domestic indoor competitions.
Liu Xiang is the first person to achieve zero breakthrough in the indoor competition.
Su Shen is the first person to win the gold medal in the 60-meter finale event in the indoor competition.
Moreover, they are about to defend their three consecutive championships and are on the way to their third consecutive championship.
One has already completed three consecutive championships.
If we do it again, it will be our fourth crown.
Many media and reporters choose to turn a blind eye to such achievements, and even use the phrase "a good man does not mention his bravery in his past" and "previous achievements do not represent current achievements" to take away their credit.
The key is that there are still many people who believe this statement.
After all, most people don't understand the training cycle of track and field and the fluctuations in the technical status and preparation status of track and field athletes.
More people think that you have achieved this result, so you need to stabilize at this result.
It is because of this mentality that it is easy to be biased by these media and self-media writers.
March 6.
Both Liu Xiang and Su Shen arrived in Istanbul by plane.
Before Liu Xiang went to war, he even specially trimmed his hair.
I cut my hair short.
Although Su Shen smiled and said that he looked younger and more handsome with bangs, Liu Xiang just smiled and said that he was no longer 22 years old, he was almost 30.
Since I am about to turn thirty.
Since this is my last Olympics.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Liu Xiang has already expressed his attitude in this competition.
In fact, Su Shen didn't mean that Liu Xiang's attitude was bad. After all, the seats were reopened. He knew very well that Liu Xiang would encounter challenges this year, which might not be smaller than before. This blow would even cause considerable damage to the entire Liu Xiang team.
An impact like an asteroid hitting the earth.
Without this kind of momentum and determination for the final battle.
It may be difficult for Liu Xiang to survive until the end.
Because if there are no accidents.
Merritt will run an exaggerated result this year, and it should be the fastest sprint time in human history.
in history.
Liu Xiang suddenly had some problems because Merritt suddenly ran 12.80 seconds. After all, although the original world record was higher than his own, it was not unbreakable.
But it suddenly improved by 12.80 seconds, and everyone immediately understood that this was an impossible elementary result. If Liu Xiang was still 22 years old, if Liu Xiang had the current training system and the technical guidance of 8 to 7 at the age of 22, it would be possible.
There is also a lot of frustration.
But now he.
Already getting older.
To encounter such a blow again would be no less than a Cheng Yaojin suddenly being killed.
This caused Liu Xiang to start training frantically and desperately in order to counter the sudden appearance of Merritt.
In addition, in order to cope with the changes to the semi-finals and finals format similar to the 100-meter dash at the World Championships in Daegu, the more intensive competition format has also put forward higher requirements for Liu Xiang's physical fitness and continuous output.
Under comprehensive pressure, it matched his extremely eager to win the championship and prove his mentality.
Eventually there was a collapse before the game.
The body cannot bear it first.
Even if you can withstand it physically this year, you will definitely suffer a blow mentally and physically, so having this kind of desperate momentum is a must.
Su Shen looked at Liu Xiang, who was wearing a red plaid shirt, and suddenly said when he got off the plane:
"Brother Xiang, don't be too careless in this game."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Liu Xiang was stunned. After all, his current understanding is the same as his team's judgment. Without people like Robles and Oliver joining, there should be no one who can be his opponent.
.
There shouldn't be another competitor.
"I heard from a friend of mine in the United States that there is one American player who is in very good shape this year."
"Who?" Liu Xiang has no doubts about Su Shen's connections. After all, he is not only a super athlete, but also a young leader in the field of sports scientific research. He must have better connections than himself if he has many connections.
So you may be more informed when you receive the news.
"I don't know who it is at the moment." Su Shen could only make insinuations as quietly as possible: "But I heard that he participated in this competition."
"After all, it's hard for people to reveal more."
"Brother Xiang, please take a closer look yourself."
"Okay, I get it."
After listening to Su Shen's words, Liu Xiang, who originally felt that this competition should be relatively easy, began to be more cautious.
ps: It’s still early to get off work today, so I’ll continue to update.
