[Robles finally chose to give up coming to Shanghai! He will miss the showdown with Liu Xiang in the Magic City War!]
It is said that the injury has tortured Robles to the point of losing his confidence. He himself complained directly in an interview: "I don't know when this pain will stop. If it weren't for the London Olympics, I wouldn't want to run." He
He even expressed his intention to retire after the London Olympics: "Injuries almost knocked me out!"
[Marlon Burke claimed that Robles should not have played and should have rested and even had surgery beforehand.]
Kinesiology expert Marlon Burke said in a recent interview: If a sprint hurdler strains the hamstring muscles, it is basically incurable and will relapse easily. Many top athletes at home and abroad have scrapped their sports careers because of this "sports cancer"
After the World Championships in Berlin, Robles has basically not won a medal in the 110-meter hurdles in any competition. Robles has not broken 13 seconds in the 110-meter hurdles for four years.
Even though the muscles in his hamstrings never healed, Robles still competed frequently and was injured repeatedly, forming a vicious cycle. After suffering a strain in his hamstrings, his injuries continued to increase, with injuries to his back, thighs, and calves successively.
Problem. An unhealthy Robles is no longer Liu’s biggest opponent in the London Olympics.
…
Magic City Stadium.
Liu Xiang's team, who were warming up, suddenly received the news that Robles really wasn't coming.
After Liu Xiang was sure, he even felt slightly melancholy.
Because it was in his original preparation expectations.
Robles is definitely one of his strongest opponents.
Even Robles' performance in the competition is more threatening than Oliver's.
But I never expected that with only three months left in the Olympics, Robles would make such a statement.
What signal does this actually represent? As a core representative member of the national team, Liu Xiang and his own team actually already have some answers.
"This is a good thing. Robles is more competitive than Oliver in the competition. If he does not participate, then I estimate that Brother Xiang's probability of winning this year will be greatly increased!"
"Oliver's performance in the competition was very impressive. I even think this year's championship is basically guaranteed."
"It seems that God wants to give Brother Xiang a championship."
Although Liu Xiang wants to fight for the championship by himself, it is best to suppress his opponent when all the masters are present. This is the best result. But if the opponent is troubled by injuries and the difficulty is reduced, it is not necessary.
, because the difficulty has been reduced, but I feel that it is not worth the money.
Because injuries are always a part of competitive sports.
It's like my injury in 2008.
What else can be done?
And Liu Xiang is already determined, no matter what level the opponent is, no matter who the opponent is, no matter whether the opponent is healthy or injured, he will win this championship.
His desire and preparation for this championship have been too long.
Maybe, God is really helping me.
After all, Oliver, as the people from Team Xiangzhi said, has indeed never proven himself in the competition.
Against him, Liu Xiang believed that the probability of winning was much higher than against him.
And it's on the other side of the Magic City Stadium.
People from the sprint team are also here to adapt to the venue, become familiar with it, and prepare themselves for tomorrow's competition.
Hearing Robles make such remarks, most people in Ersha Island were also surprised.
But after being surprised, everyone felt happy for Liu Xiang.
Because basically every one of them is a fan of Liu Xiang. There is no athlete in this age group who grew up watching Liu Xiang win the championship in Athens in 2004.
In addition, Liu Xiang trained together on Ersha Island in this life, which naturally made the emotional connection between them even deeper.
Emotionally and logically, no matter whether they are fans or friends, they all hope that Liu Xiang can realize his dream of London.
Winning another Olympic gold medal that I have longed for.
Only Su Shen did not say too much, because he himself clearly remembered that when he saw the news, he almost had the same thought.
I think Oliver is not Liu Xiang's enemy when Robles is away.
This championship is a sure thing.
What is the result?
It wasn't just Liu Xiang himself who fell down due to injuries.
Moreover, this year also suddenly gave birth to the strongest player in short span history.
This is the charm of competition.
You simply can't tell whether a super genius will be born on a certain day of a certain year or a certain month.
Disrupt all your vision judgments and opinions.
Isn’t this also true in sprinting?
Before Bolt was born, who would have thought that the short span of human history would reach such a terrifying height at the beginning of the 21st century? I remember that there was a scientific analysis that said that humans want to enter the era of 9.50.
At least until 2030.
It may even take until the middle of the 21st century.
But what is the fact?
There was a sound in the sky, and black lightning appeared.
This is the real powerhouse across the ages.
Although Merritt does not have Bolt's career-sustaining ability, let's talk about his solo kill ability this year.
That is the strongest in history.
So if you cheer now, you are undoubtedly letting down your vigilance and vigilance. The greater your expectations now, the greater your disappointment when you see Merritt's results. The huge contrast is likely to cause fluctuations in the athletes' mentality.
But this is no longer something Su Shen can interfere with.
He has now reached his limit in this regard.
Let time decide the rest.
And this year he himself...
There is also what may be the most difficult task in history to accomplish.
If Liu Xiang wants to challenge the strongest sprint performance in history this year, then he must challenge the track and field, who may be the strongest king in history.
It's because this person exists.
Even after Su Shen reopened, he would not dare to take any time off.
It's because this person exists.
No matter how many breakthroughs he made each time or how strong he became, Su Shen never dared to slack off.
Moreover, choosing this place is also a bit of a tribute to himself back then. Su Shen remembers clearly the press conference at the Magic City Diamond League that year, because he had just achieved great results in the Challenger League Kawasaki Station and became the focus of the press conference.
figure.
...The result of 10.04 seconds is very close to the 10-second mark. Therefore, the question that reporters at today's press conference are most concerned about is naturally when Su Shen can break 10 seconds. If it can be achieved, Su Shen will become the third person in Asia to break the 10-second mark.
Athletes who hit the 10-second mark...
...I am confident that I can run under 10 seconds in the future. In Kawasaki, Japan, I ran 10.04 seconds in super windy conditions. Anyway, being able to run this time shows that I do have the ability. I believe
After adjusting my strength, I can run 10.04 seconds or better again...
...Su Shen has not attracted much attention from the outside world in the past. When it comes to the Chinese men's 100 meters, most of the people who come to mind are Hu Kai, the spectacled man, or the 100-meter flying man at the Asian Games. But this time it was staged in Kawasaki
This miraculous performance made more people know Su Shen. Many people wanted to know why he suddenly broke out in such a short period of time...
These past memories suddenly came to my mind, and I thought about what I said at this point in time:
In fact, when participating in the Olympics this time, my main focus will be on the relay events, and the individual events are just about trying my best.
So what now?
What about this time?
Su Shen, who was warming up, felt the energy in his body and his still very young body.
A voice emerged in his heart that he couldn't suppress.
Said loudly:
This time.
I want them all.
Want them all.
I don’t want to let anyone go!
And in the previous life.
Su Shen is here.
For the first time, I publicly shouted to the national media that I wanted to open it for 10 seconds.
2012.
The last time has passed.
This time 2012.
What will it look like?
Su Shen looked at the track and field athletes of the Flower Planters getting ready to go in the Magic City Stadium, and he couldn't help but began to feel excited.
The first showdown in the Olympic year, Bolt in the big competition year.
