Chapter 1618 This opponent will be the strongest one in your life
The women's sprint started first, and the final championship was taken by Sally Persson.
As a double athlete in the 100-meter and 110-meter hurdles, Sally Persson is still very strong, and she also refreshed her PB and Australian record in this event.
7.73s is also the absolute result this time. This result directly opened up the second place by nearly two meters and did not give anyone any chance. This level has been quite good in history. Domestic players saw this and simply
There is no mentality of wanting to fight. This result is only 0.05 away from the world record, and only 0.01 away from the competition record.
The gap is really too big.
For example, the national player Sun Yawei we came over this time, his best 60-meter PB in his career was only 8.24 seconds. Can you tell me how big the gap is?
And this is already the best female player we can produce right now.
The second place was Tiffany Porter from Kitty Eagle Country, with a score of 7.94s.
The third place is Alina Talei of Belarus, with a score of 7.97s.
Just when Yang Jian lamented that Australia's short span results were getting better and better, the men's 60m final was about to begin.
At this time, the contestants who entered the finals, their grades and results were also displayed on the big screen.

Liu Xiang didn't have any surprises. He was separated from Merritt and started as neighbors.
"We can see that there is a gap between the results of the others and Liu Xiang. Liu Xiang is also the only player who can open 7.40s. Without people like Robles, Liu Xiang's strength is already the first among everyone.
position." Yang Jian said with a relaxed expression, because in his commentary career, Liu Xiang has never been so comfortable at 60 meters.
For the first time, hard power means ranking first.
"Liu Xiang's current 60-meter PB ranks tenth in world history, tied here with Torian and Mark Creel's 60-meter PB. This is also the first time that our 60-meter has entered the top ten in the short span.
.”
"The person who may be a real threat is the player named Merritt next to him." Yang Jian looked at the information and said: "He won 7.43s at the American Indoor Championships at the end of last month in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
.But looking at his performance at the Istanbul World Indoor Championships, I don’t think he is in particularly good condition.”
Yang Jian said this not to look down on Merritt. Li Tao next to him seemed to agree with Yang Jian's words, because if you don't have a God's perspective, you just saw that Merritt's score in both the preliminaries and the finals was only 7.60.
They were even almost eliminated in the semi-finals.
At this level, how could you possibly think that he is Liu Xiang's opponent now?
Even if it was replaced by Su Shen from before, when watching this game, everyone thought that Liu Xiang was almost certain to win.
With no opponents and Liu Xiang's stability, he is almost a sure winner.
But history is so dramatic.
No one thought that this person would become Liu Xiang's opponent, and the opponent of all famous players in the entire history of track and field.
The world's first PB in the previous life.
It was this man who created it.
that's enough.
Even if it only reaches its peak in one year, objectively speaking, it is the strongest annual peak in human history.
It depends on how Liu Xiang resists.
Merritt also has weaknesses, and this weakness happens to be Liu Xiang's strength.
This is how competitive sports are, even if the hard power is inferior, performance on the spot is the key.
No matter how fast you run, when you face certain opponents, you may not be able to win due to mentality and rhythm problems. This is a common occurrence in the history of sports.
Let’s see how Liu Xiang responded.
This is also something that Su Shen is very concerned about.
Because no one knows better than him.
Liu Xiang's opponent this year is not at all the Robles or Olivers that are currently being promoted by the outside world.
Liu Xiang has only one opponent this year, the person who ran the fastest PB in history, his name is Aris Merritt.
And this is the first official competition between the two people this year.
Liu Xiang turned his head and looked to the side. He still hadn't thought about why Su Shen wanted his attention. Could it be that he had made a mistake?
That American, not this one, but something else?
Otherwise, with his performance in the preliminaries and semi-finals, how could he pose any threat to himself?
This performance is really hard to believe until you see it with your own eyes.
And he still vaguely remembered that this guy... seemed to be his little fanboy.
He has said on many occasions that he is his idol.
In addition, he really didn't have any shining points in the 110-meter hurdles before, and he didn't win any gold medals or even medals in any competition. It was really difficult for Liu Xiang to have any special impression of him.
Seeing Liu Xiang looking at him, Merritt also waved to him, his expression slightly nervous and shy.
In fact, Merritt is not a particularly domineering type. Besides, he has never had any good results before, and he cannot be domineering even if he wants to. At present, Liu Xiang is the world record holder and the three-time defending world indoor championship champion. Although Merritt is
He produced a lot of good results during winter training, and the coaching team also said that he had improved a lot, but...
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Training is training.
The game is a game.
He has been running for so many years and knows this better than anyone else.
Besides, he didn't know if he could bring out his strength and turn it into actual results.
Liu Xiang frowned, nodded slightly, and after looking up and down, based on his unconditional trust in Su Shen, he was already trying his best to find "some special points" about Merritt.
The body shape has not changed much, which means that the physical fitness has not improved significantly.
Could it be that technology has gotten better?
This seems very difficult. I haven't felt better for so many years. How could it suddenly get better?
It's long past the time to improve technology and it should have been finalized long ago, unless he has made large-scale technical changes and has to start over...
Otherwise, he also faced Merritt in Daegu last year, so he didn't feel anything special.
He looked around until Liu Xiang saw where his feet were on the starting block...
Suddenly he was stunned for a few seconds, and then he said: "You..."
"Changed feet?"
"Well, yes, Liu." Merritt was also stunned, not expecting Liu Xiang to ask him this.
"and you……"
"Have you changed eight to seven?"
Liu Xiang suddenly asked, with some changes in his eyes.
"Um."
"I started after I was in Daegu. I see that you have all changed too, so I want to give it a try."
"If you have any questions later, please tell me and give me some guidance."
Merritt is still a little Karami with a PB of more than 13 seconds. Seeing an idol and a world record holder will definitely make him look a lot more humble.
"It's okay, behave well."
Liu Xiang didn't say much.
Just when I turned my head, I looked more at Merritt's feet on the starting block, thinking deeply.
If he was wrong when he thought whether Su Shen was really Su Shen, after all, no one is perfect, and it is impossible for everything to be perfect.
Then now...
He suddenly gave himself an extra wake-up call.
Su Shen's words fit right in.
but.
Do you have the strength to fight with me?
How much progress has been made?
Have a run with me and I will know.
Liu Xiang shook his head slightly, passed through the five hurdles, and looked at the finish line in front of him.
The expression on his face was less relaxed and leisurely.
At this moment, the electronic password for the competition also rang.
"on your marks."
"set."
At this time, in the lounge, Su Shen also looked at Liu Xiang squatting on the TV screen, and said softly in his heart:
