Richardson, the runner-up at the Daegu World Championships last year, has strong late-range ability.

Stadium revealed.
[Sun Haiping: Liu Xiang’s strength and speed are at their best in the near future and he must control his rhythm. 】
Liu Xiang and his coach Sun Haiping, as well as some others, appeared in Shanghai at 3:30 pm yesterday. Liu Xiang's head coach Sun Haiping said that Liu Xiang's current strength and speed have returned to his own calling.
level. However, in order to prepare for the London Olympics, he must control the speed of his improvement, so he does not intend to let him reach his best condition in a short time. If he plays a high-level game too early, he will need more
Training, in this case, the risk will be even greater.
In the first race of the new season, Liu Xiang's time was only 0.03 seconds lower than Merritt's 13.03 seconds. Sun Haiping said: "If you want to run hard, Liu Xiang's time will definitely be better than Merritt's, but there is no need now."
.The best competitive state should be shown in the Olympic Games in August. If you run hard now, you may need to use greater intensity and greater load in training to maintain this performance, which will increase the risk."
Regarding the home game on May 19, Sun Haiping said: "The level of effort and excitement is a little higher than that of Sunday's game. It is not necessarily the number of runs. It is difficult to estimate now, but
In terms of requirements, it is a little higher than the first game, just a little more."
Regarding the current situation of Liu Xiang's opponents, Sun Haiping also believes that the current WL holder Merritt may become one of Liu Xiang's most important opponents, but not as good as Robles and Oliver's old opponents. Sun Haiping is keeping a close eye on
Several major opponents also admitted that there may be dark horses suddenly popping up, but he said: "We still follow our own ideas and keep Liu Xiang's current state within a normal range and within a controllable range.
.Don’t be too anxious.”

[The American Legion did not rely on tactics to encircle and suppress Liu Xiang. Oliver said tactics were speed.]
Different from previous competitions, for the first time, five American athletes appeared on the nine-man roster for the men's 110-meter hurdles competition. Although the former World Championship runner-up Trammell withdrew due to a hip injury before the competition.
, but the compatriot Falk who replaces him in the competition is also very good. Together with the American Craddock who replaces the South African player Lehane in the competition, the American Legion will launch an "encirclement and suppression" against Liu Xiang. With such a huge group advantage, the United States will
The players are full of confidence in winning the championship.
At yesterday's press conference, Oliver and Richardson always had smiles on their faces. When an AFP reporter asked them what tactics they would use to deal with this game, Oliver said with some disdain: "My tactics
, is to use speed to leave the opponents behind." And Richardson grabbed the microphone and said: "Yes, our tactics are strength. This will not change due to any objective factors, such as rain."
After the press conference, when a reporter from Shudi Metropolis Daily asked Oliver if he was confident of winning the championship, his answer was: "Of course!"
"Liu Xiang can't stop me either."
In contrast, Merritt, who ran the best time of 13.03 seconds so far this year, looked very cautious. Throughout the process, he had a serious face and kept writing something in his notebook. When something happened,
When the reporter asked him about his current status, he specifically mentioned his eight-to-seven technique. He replied: "You can see that it was because of this technical change that I won the runner-up in the World Indoor Championships and set a new record in the 110-meter hurdles."
I have achieved my best result, and I am very satisfied with this situation. I have no extra thoughts about the competition results. I have not yet turned on 13 seconds, nor have I turned on super wind speed. In the face of these experts, I have turned on 13 seconds many times.
, I still focus on learning.”
…
Hilton Hotel in Shanghai.
It is the hotel sponsor of this competition, and everyone basically rests here.
The flower grower's side is a separate side, and the host's advantage is still obvious.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Liu Xiang is waiting for the arrival of Su Shen and others at this time.
Because Su Shen is coming back from Doha, he will be one day late.
The reason why Sun Haiping said this before, saying that Liu Xiang is in "very good condition" now, was because Ralph Mann reminded him.
Liu Xiang's momentum this year is really strong, and his spirit is completely different from before.
This kind of competitive spirit is of course very good, but... going too far can easily lead to the state coming out too early.
If Liu Xiang is still in good health, there is nothing to say. If Liu Xiang is still in his early twenties, it doesn't matter. But now Liu Xiang is twenty-eight and will be 29 in two months. He
He is no longer the young man he was in Athens.
In the field of track and field, this is actually a relatively old age, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a veteran.
There are very few people in history who can maintain high-end standards at this age.
Therefore, veterans should have veteran preparation methods. Ralph Mann suggested that Liu Xiang should be in better shape now.
Don't get momentum so early.
Sun Haiping originally thought that it must be a good thing that Liu Xiang has been in such good condition. This year will not be worse than before, and his results are definitely guaranteed. But when Ralph Mann said this, he immediately woke up.
It is true that Liu Xiang is already old.
If you get out of shape too early, you will need greater training intensity and density to maintain it.
This is too hard for a veteran.
The main thing is that Ralph Mann asked the question and said: "Don't forget, Sun and Liu are people who have undergone major surgery on their ankles and Achilles tendons. Moreover, this disease will definitely relapse as long as it is high-intensity training."
Depends on when it is and what the intensity of the explosion is."
"If you are in such good shape now, what will you do next? The intensity is too early, which is very detrimental to his body."
One word awakens the dreamer.
Sun Haiping thought that if there was another problem this year, Liu Xiang would be really "ruined." For the general public, the Olympic Games are the focus of attention. No matter how many world championships you win, there is no meaning to an Olympic championship.
Therefore, we must ensure that Liu Xiang does not have any problems.
Maintaining a healthy body in London is the first priority.
So Sun Haiping, who had figured it out, took the initiative to say this in the media just to let everyone know that Liu Xiang would "slow down" in the future.
It's normal to see some performance decline.
Don't make a fuss and look for things to make people angry.
As for Liu Xiang himself, although he is not very willing, it is Sun Haiping who has been a master since he was a child, and Ralph Mann has also established a lot of prestige in his heart in recent years. Both of them are like this.
Said, he could only nod in agreement "reluctantly".
After all, compared to the Olympic champion, these honors are indeed part of his historical status.
It's all leftovers.
No need to spend a lot of money on these "pots and pans".
But at this moment, there was a news on the TV, which made Liu Xiang stop listening to the song. When he took off his headphones, Sun Haiping and others had already heard the news.
"At the just-concluded Track and Field Grand Prix in Fayetteville, Arkansas, American athlete Aris Merritt opened the 13-second mark."
"Rated 12.99."
"Although he did not achieve a personal PB due to the super wind speed, he personally expressed excitement in the post-race interview that this was the first time he felt the speed within 13 seconds, and he was very excited. This made him know that this speed,
You can actually do it yourself.”
The camera switched to Merritt's interview. Facing the camera, Merritt smiled widely and said: "I didn't expect this to happen. I just ran hard, but it happened like this. After eight changes to seven were successful, I felt like
It opened a new door, and the 13 seconds that were originally indestructible and out of reach began to become loose."
"And this made me feel that I can actually do it within 13 seconds."
"That's not my area."
"My physical feeling tells me very clearly that in the following games, I will try to open it for 13 seconds, open it legally, and prove that I am also qualified to become a world-class player."
…
Inside the room, it was slightly quiet.
"Unexpectedly, this guy actually broke through 13 seconds. His condition this year is quite good."
"But it's still illegal. Without strong winds, it probably won't be possible."
"Yes, otherwise it would really scare me to death. I would have thought that there would be another strong opponent within 13 seconds."
Only Liu Xiang didn't say much. He just looked at Merritt on the TV without blinking for a long time.
It wasn't until Sun Haiping called him and asked him to take a rest that he stopped staring.
After Sun Haiping opened the door and went out, he turned around and looked at Liu Xiang's room behind him just as he was about to leave.
He knew why Liu Xiang was like this just now.
Because he remembers it clearly.
For the first time, Liu Xiang felt that he could really open 13 seconds and become a world-class master, it seemed...
It's the same look.
This look.
"It seems like this guy is going to become a top-notch player just as Xiao Tian said."
"Then there will be another strong rival this year."
But even now, they have not thought that it will not be a "strong enemy but not a strong enemy" by then.
But themselves.
will be a challenger.
It is no longer an attitude of looking down.
