[Final sprint in preparation for the London Olympics.]
On May 27, two months before the opening of the London Olympics, the core figures of the London Olympics took action separately. Lord Sebastian Coe, Chairman of the London Olympic Organizing Committee, and Boris Johnson, Mayor of London, watched the huge Olympic Games with their own eyes.
The special Olympic rings were hung steadily on Tower Bridge. Sports Minister Hugh Robertson and London Olympic Organizing Committee CEO Paul Deighton went to the main press center in the Olympic Park to preside over the opening ceremony. In addition to mobilizing all walks of life to participate,
As a major sports event, artists from Kitty Eagle Country also want to push the "Cultural Olympia" to a climax. The London Olympic Art Festival, which costs 55 million pounds, will provide 10 million free tickets, giving the public the opportunity to enjoy various artistic performances and fully display
Kitty Hawk Country’s Cultural Heritage.
For this summer's "best party on the planet", London seems to have meticulously made all the preparations imaginable. However, there are still 2 million Olympic tickets that have not been sold, and severe tests from transportation and security
People are still worried about London. The London Olympic Organizing Committee is essentially a private company. Most of its income comes from the International Olympic Committee (about 1 billion pounds), ticket revenue (600 million pounds), and sponsor fees.
(£700 million) and revenue from sales of licensed goods (£89 million), it also receives funding from the government to provide related services, and will also be supported by the government if there is a budget shortfall.
[The Olympic Games are approaching, and there may be a major strike on London's transportation lines.]
Trade unions, which were already worried about traffic, also joined in the fun. The Solidarity Union announced on June 28 that drivers from 17 major bus companies planned to hold a one-day joint strike on July 5 and 24 to fight for their own Olympic compensation of 500 pounds.
The allowance is used as compensation for enduring a significant increase in workload and pressure during the Olympics. The mayor of London is extremely angry and supports the operators' tough treatment. The union threatens that workers are getting angry day by day and there may be no way out. Strike action is approaching the Olympics.
[Bolt responded that he was not concerned about the preparations for the Olympic Games in London, but only wanted to know about the tax exemption policy for athletes during the Olympic Games.]
[Guy also responded that he has to support his family and London should be more generous.]

"It looks like there's a lot going on in London." Zhou Bing looked at the news on his phone and kept browsing.
Now that smartphones have begun to become more popular and the Internet has begun to spread, you can gradually see this year the emergence of people with bowed heads, which will be a constant phenomenon in the next ten years.
Swipe, swipe, swipe your phone.
It has become a new mark of an era.
"It's all about taking advantage of the opportunity. If you don't get some at this time, you won't have any soup by then." Su Shen is not surprised by this kind of news. Anyway, similar situations will occur every time capitalist society engages in such things.
In fact, it would be strange if nothing happened.
The next day, after everyone had finished adapting to the venue in Eugene, the official IAAF organization also announced the latest track and field rankings.
This week the "Total Athletics" website announced the latest world rankings for each event:
Liu Xiang has surpassed the second place in points. If he hadn't rarely participated in the Diamond League to gain points except for competitions recently, he would definitely be the first. In fact, he only needs to win this Eugene station to gain points in Eugene.
, you can overtake the first place and become the world leader again.
The ranking rules of this website are to take the top five most important games in each event that each player has recently participated in, and then convert the points. Among them, the ranking of the men's 110-meter hurdles combines the 50-meter hurdles, 55-meter hurdles, 60-meter hurdles and 110-meter
Column results.
There is not much to say about sprinting. Bolt is still ranked first. Su Shen started to rank third because he participated in more competitions this year, second only to Xiao Sai Wang Laobao, who has a higher participation rate. Other than that,
, domestic player Zhao Haohuan also entered the top ten.
Due to Gatlin's strong recovery this year, his ranking has also begun to improve significantly.
That night, news about the Eugene War began to be released everywhere and was finally warmed up.
In the 100-meter battle, people are naturally paying attention. Almost all local athletes from the United States will show up, including Gay and Gatlin, who has made a strong comeback this year. Rogers, Dix, etc. will also appear.
The United States is also gearing up for this Olympic year and wants to get a good result in the 100-meter race.
Even if you get the gold medal, you should try your best to win the silver and bronze medals.
This is the latest standard given by the American Track and Field Association. It means that it’s okay if you can’t win the gold medal. We won’t make it difficult for you. We understand that if you can’t win Bolt, we won’t say anything more, but the species is not Bolt.
, you have to win it, right?
Otherwise, we will not be able to communicate with citizens across the country.
Although Gatlin keeps saying that he wants to take home the gold medal, in fact, this is just a gimmick. No one with a normal brain will believe that he can do it. Therefore, the medals chosen besides the gold medal seem to be very reasonable.
.
This is also the first time in the history of the American Track and Field Association, probably in the past half century, that gold medals have been excluded from the criteria.
After all, I didn't expect Bolt to be so abnormal in 2008. After all, 9.70 seemed completely feasible at the time, and it was not an unreachable result.
This year, this is a real "burden reduction" for athletes. Let's see what excuses you have for not winning medals.
Bolt is an alien, no problem, but then the rest of them aren’t, right?
We are all from Earth, America must win!
However, this is in America. If it is placed in China and Asia, more attention will be paid to the 110-meter hurdles.
After all, this year after Liu Xiang's explosive performance in the Magic City, Robles's state is a bit sluggish. Liu Xiang is the biggest winner no matter what, and naturally he has a high probability of winning the track and field gold medal. Everyone knows that there is Bolt in sprinting.
, there was almost no chance of a gold medal, but Liu Xiang was really determined to win the championship and became one of the favorites, even the biggest favorite, after the competition in Shanghai.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Based on Asians’ current expectations for gold medals, coupled with Liu Xiang’s popularity and the feelings of the first-generation track and field idol.
It’s easy to gain absolute attention.
There is no problem with this. In fact, everyone hopes that Liu Xiang will win the championship, including those in the sprint team. Who didn’t watch Liu Xiang come out? And for the track and field team, the significance of the gold medal is indeed not small.
If you can't win the gold medal, you can just back off a little bit, and there's nothing wrong with it.
Even Su Shen has no objections. What other opinions do the others have?
And good food must be paired with green leaves. At this time, just like in the previous life, as the number one PB brother in hurdles in the United States, muscle brother Oliver suddenly said in an interview before the game:
Now only Liu can run in for thirteen seconds? Sorry, actually running for thirteen seconds is not difficult at all!
"If someone breaks into 13 seconds, I won't be surprised at all. If everyone doesn't make mistakes, it's not difficult to break into 13 seconds."
"Especially for me, if I don't make any mistakes, everyone can see how far I have run with this data."
“At the Diamond League Magic City Station, I hit too many hurdles and knocked down at least four hurdles, which affected my balance. In the end, I only ran 13.13 seconds. But I could still run 13.13 seconds. If I
If I hit a few less, or don’t hit any at all, I think I can achieve a low temperature of less than 13 seconds after the rain.”
It's okay for you to say this normally, but with the game coming up soon and the big battle tomorrow, at this point in time, it's a bit...meaningful.
In fact, Oliver has always been resentful about his international ranking. He has always felt that he could not win the championship in international competitions because he was unlucky.
But he forgot one thing.
Didn't someone ask you to knock over the fence?
The railing will not fall down on its own.
Unless someone kicks him over himself.
At the same time, another road master came out and talked about the "law of age".
It is said that it is extremely difficult to break 13 seconds after turning 29.
Number of times Oliver has broken 13 seconds: at least 7 times before turning 29 and 0 times after turning 29.
The number of times Trammell broke 13 seconds: 2 times before the age of 29 and 0 times after the age of 29.
The number of times Alan Johnson ran under 13 seconds: 8 times before the age of 29 and 3 times after the age of 29.
The number of times Arnold ran under 13 seconds: 1 time before the age of 29 and 0 times after the age of 29.
The only player who can still break the 13-second mark after the age of 29 is the "legendary hurdle king" Alan Johnson. He retired in 2010 at the age of 39, and ran 12.96 seconds in 2006 at the age of 35. This is his
The last time he ran under the 13-second mark. There are still some geniuses who disappeared before reaching the age of 29. The Frenchman Ducoure, who is the same age as Liu Xiang, was considered Liu Xiang's biggest competitor at the time and defeated Liu several times.
Xiang, but since the 22-year-old he ran a personal best of 12.97 seconds in a track and field competition in his country in July 2005, he has never entered the 13-second mark. After the 2008 Olympics, this former man's 110 seconds
The geniuses of the meter hurdles have withdrawn from the ranks of top athletes. The world's top players all set their personal best times before the age of 29. Colin Jackson of Kitty Eagle country set the then world record of 12.91 seconds when he was 26 years old, and Alan Johnson set a world record of 12 seconds at the age of 25.
With a personal best of 92, Liu Xiang set a world record of 12.85 seconds at the age of 23, and Robles set a world record of 12.87 seconds at the age of 22... Liu Xiang will turn 29 next month.
Judging from the age at which players produce results, Liu Xiang will run less and less times under the 13-second mark, so he is not optimistic.
This is true from the data, but data can also be deceiving.
As the level of medical treatment and technology improves, these things will gradually be broken, and the Olympic Games are coming. If you don't improve your state, what will you do then? This thing of state is like this. It takes time to improve.
It also takes time. If there is not enough time to improve by then, it is very likely that the results will also fall short.
There are only 2 months left, so logically speaking, you can slowly improve your condition.
But no one expected that Liu Xiang's condition would suddenly explode so much.
Originally I thought it would be enough to keep it open for 13 seconds.
But this kind of thing is not a robot, and it is not something you can ask for as much as you want.
Once you're in a good state, you can't stop it.
If there is no state, you can’t get it even if you ask for it.
As a team, we can only ensure Liu Xiang's normal recovery and nutrition, training plan and training cycle as much as possible.
The rest can only do their best and obey fate.
As an athlete who aims to win the championship this year, you cannot let him lose confidence.
Just when Oliver was talking nonsense and expressing his views with great enthusiasm, as one of the core members of Baimi, the old and arrogant Gatlin finally regained his traffic, and of course he was not willing to be left behind.
He also said something before the game.
Without the Jamaicans, winning the championship would be much easier and not difficult.
This is really Gatling-like.
Because it is true that Bolt, Powell, and Blake didn't come, so it doesn't matter if he looks like this.
But in fact, the other contestants were left in the dust.
It seems that except for the Jamaicans, he doesn't take any other players seriously.
And, not to mention...
There were obviously people from Jamaica participating in this event.
Nesta Carter:???
What, was I unilaterally expelled from Jamaican citizenship by Gatlin?
I'm not Jamaican.
After all, I am also a member of the 9.70 Club, and you, Gatlin, are not yet.
When Su Shen heard this, he didn't say much when being interviewed. He just shrugged, looked at the camera and said:
I agree with what Gatlin said.
Everyone:???
When did you and Gatlin become so harmonious?
The next sentence immediately put a sudden realization on the reporter's face.
Without the Jamaicans, it would indeed be much easier to win the championship, but not very difficult.
The same sentence seems to taste completely different when spoken in different people's mouths.
This time Eugene.
It doesn't look too peaceful.
Whether it's a short stride or a sprint.
They are all gearing up and ready to go.
The reason why Su Shen rejected Yuan Guoqiang's request to take a break and had to come to Eugene was because of Eugene.
The wind speed has been very good.
Otherwise, people often say: Come to Eugene, the God of Wind will love you once.
It’s because the wind speed here is good all year round, so it’s easy to achieve results and break through yourself.
The Olympics are coming soon, and there is not much time left for you.
Things before the speed zone need to be done better.
It’s not just a semi-credit card supporting landing technology.
Other new technologies must be quickly integrated into actual practice.
There are also speed barriers, which should be broken as soon as possible to avoid hindering yourself later.
