Chapter 1729 The node of history? All we can do now is wait
[Tian Shoe Center announced the selection methods for the London Olympics to ensure openness, fairness and justice.]
The Track and Field Management Center today announced the selection method for athletes participating in the 2012 London Olympics, and announced four selection principles and corresponding details to ensure that the selection is open, fair and just, and the best athletes are selected to participate in the London Olympics.
Athletes for the on-field competition will be selected at the Yangcheng Sports Center.
In principle, if there are more than three people who meet the standard, the top three will be directly selected as the people who meet the standard to participate in the London Olympics. If the number of people who meet the standard is less than three, but there are multiple people who meet the B standard, the top three people who meet the standard will be selected from this competition.
The champion serves as a contestant.
If only the points are up to standard and there are multiple players, the time for athletes to reach the standard is in principle set from May 1, 2011 to April 30, 2012. If the athletes can reach the standard in 2011 according to the relevant requirements such as team formation and registration,
The top six in the World Championships will be directly qualified for the London Olympics; the remaining places will be selected through the 2011 National Championships and the first two international or national official competitions on April 30, 2012. Athletes must participate in the 2011 National Championships and
Achieving the top 6 places; before April 30, 2012, athletes must participate in at least two outdoor international competitions or outdoor track and field competitions organized by the General Administration's Track and Field Center, and choose the best two with average results, comprehensive assessment, and merit selection; 2012
Those who meet the standards after April 30 and have outstanding results will be selected on a merit-based basis if team formation and registration time permit.
For race walking, four athletes in each event will be selected for the London Olympics through multiple selections, one of whom will be a substitute. The first selection will be the 2011 World Championships, and the top three athletes will be directly selected for the London Olympics; the remaining places will be selected through the second place.
Secondary selection allocation: The Taicang IAAF Race Walking Challenge held at the end of March or early April 2012 was determined to be the London Olympics selection event. Through this competition, the remaining athletes to participate in the London Olympics will be selected from athletes who have qualified for the second selection.
.
Therefore, this group of people is also one of the first to be decided, because the selection competition has already ended in April.
The marathon event will determine the selection of 4 athletes for the women's marathon through multiple selections, including 1 substitute; the men's marathon will determine the participants based on the results of the trials. The first selection is scheduled for the 2011 World Championships, and the top three athletes will be directly selected for the Olympic lineup.
The second selection will select a marathon to be held in China in mid-to-late March 2012 as the London Olympics selection. This competition will select the remaining athletes to participate in the London Olympics from the athletes who have qualified for the second selection.
Similarly, it can be seen from the documents that Marathon also determined its candidates very early.
There will be almost no changes.
Therefore, the National Track and Field Championships and Olympic Trials held at the Yangcheng Sports Center this time are competitions for on-site athletes.
And because the track and field events of Flower Gardeners have been improving in recent years, many of the original rules are no longer used, especially for sprint events. Before, it was just a vague statement, but now it has basically become a certainty.
Documents, completely start to select according to America or Jamaica's method.
This is for countries with sufficient talent.
That's the fairest way.
It is more similar to the college entrance examination that each of us experienced back then, where the outcome is determined by one shot.
So you will see that even if Oliver, the national record holder, does not perform well in the finals and is eliminated, no one will stand up to protect him.
This was definitely not realistic for the previous Flower Planter track and field team, because there was only one person with a high level, and you couldn't even let him go. Then the rest of the team would be too embarrassed to ask for this spot.
But it's different now.
As more and more people meet the standards.
Naturally, your own domestic rules will also need to change.
Otherwise, if the old system remains unchanged, it will be easy to fail to keep up with the times and lead to various contradictions.
So even Liu Xiang and Su Shen are now officially required to run before they can get a quota. Of course, there are exceptions to everything, and this is also a major feature of the country, including Jamaica.
They have something called a medical exemption in the trials, so even if you don't participate, you can still use it to get a spot. This is what Gatlin was sarcastically talking about back then.
He wanted to say that there is no such preferential treatment in the United States.
But the same.
There has never been such an epoch-making sprint superman in the United States.
If there was only one like that back then.
See if you can let him go.
Not to mention far away.
Just say Lewis this time.
Typically, banned drugs are detected in China, but USATF also turns a blind eye. Therefore, it is only because there are too many people on the U.S. national team who want to meet the standards that they can do this.
Easier said than done.
Everyone is human.
You must not think that Europeans, Americans, or people from the Angsa system are any more enlightened than us.
Everything is based on the interests of one's own country's own system.
This is in line with the standard logic of the adult world.
At the same time, selection competitions in various countries around the world have also begun or ended.
For example, the European Championships.
It is the Russian born in the 1990s who dominated the 110-meter hurdles, and the famous player Doucoure only ranked 16th. The men's 110-meter hurdles competition in the European Championships is divided into three rounds: preliminaries, semi-finals and finals. The semi-finals are divided into 3 groups, each
A total of 8 people from the top two in the group and the other two best times advanced to the finals. In the first group, Polish veteran Noga took the lead in 13.43 seconds, followed by Swedish player Nosmi in 13.47 seconds. French player Ducoure
His performance was poor, he only ran 13.66 seconds, ranked seventh in the group, and was eliminated.
The wind speed at the beginning of the second group of games was 1.1 meters per second. However, under such harsh weather conditions, Russian rookie Konstantin Shabanov, born in the 1990s, suddenly broke out. He crossed the line with a personal best time of 13.09 seconds.
At the finish line, a new Russian national record was created. French player Dali was placed in the third group. He won first place with a time of 13.15 seconds and also entered the final.
In the final that started later, Shabanov was in the fourth lane, Dalyan was in the third lane, and Noga was in the fifth lane. The wind speed during the competition was 0.5 meters per second downwind. The starting gun was fired, and Dalyan's reaction time
Ranking first with a time of 0.148 seconds, Shabanov’s reaction also reached 0.154 seconds. In the first three hurdles, Darian took a slight lead by virtue of his starting advantage, and Shabanov and Noga were closely chasing after him.
During the running stage, Shabanov began to accelerate, and after seven hurdles, he was almost neck-and-neck with Dallion. In the final sprint stage, Shabanov was even faster, and finally won the European Championship for the first time with a time of 13.16 seconds. This was
This young Russian has previously won the European 110-meter hurdles championship in the U23 and below group, and is likely to become a very competitive athlete in time. Dalyan won the runner-up in 13.20 seconds, and Noga won the third place in 13.27 seconds.
Since Merritt, the relaxed atmosphere of Liu Xiang's team has completely disappeared. Now seeing the sudden emergence of a young player who they had never heard of before at the European Championships, it really makes them feel a little disappointed.
After all, the current best score in the world has been changed from Liu Xiang to Merritt.
Especially at this time, a famous figure in the track and field sprint event spoke up again. He pointed out Liu Xiang's problem. He was Renaldo Nehemi, the first man in history to break 13 seconds.
Although he previously claimed that he was very optimistic about Liu Xiang, this interview clearly focused on Liu Xiang's shortcomings and the strengths and weaknesses of others.
"Robles' absolute speed is faster. Robles is tall and big, and high hurdles are not a problem for him." Reynaldo Nehemiah said of Robles.
Robles and Liu Xiang stood on the 110-meter hurdles track together, but Reynaldo Nehemiah was more optimistic about Liu Xiang because Liu Xiang is "the most technically outstanding master-level player in the 110-meter hurdles in the past 10 years."
.
Renaldo said: If I have to point out one shortcoming, it would be Liu Xiang’s absolute speed.
Not quite enough.
The world's first hurdler to break the "13-second mark" of the 110-meter hurdles, assuming that Liu Xiang competes with Robles, Merritt, Oliver Lemaitrie, etc. in the 100-meter sprint, he thinks that the others can win at least 7 out of 10 contests.
,8 times.
If he had better luck, Liu Xiang might not be able to win a game.
This is actually a very pertinent answer.
We don’t want to be a reflection monster, but we can’t not listen to all opinions. Of course we must listen to correct opinions and adopt them.
Liu Xiang's flat running ability is indeed incomparable with these people. Some people may ask why Liu Xiang's flat running is not fast. He himself said that he and Ronaldo can easily win 100 meters.
?
Isn't this fast enough?
Those who say this must be people who don’t know much about track and field, or are just track and field fans limited to the Olympic Games. Therefore, in their impression, Ronaldo is a person who is promoted to be a fast runner, and ordinary people cannot catch up at all.
But here comes the problem...
Don't tell me, Liu Xiang can easily outperform him.
None of these people can easily outrun him?
Even female athletes can easily beat Ronaldo.
It's such a simple thing.
There are specialties in the field, but others think Ronaldo dribbles very fast, so they think he is also very fast in sprinting. In fact, in front of professional track and field athletes, let alone professional 100-meter athletes, as long as they are athletes in up to 100 meters events...
Ronaldo is probably not on the same level at all.
Some of the people above are even close to breaking 10 in 100 meters. How can Liu Xiang be able to match this kind of table tennis ability? You have to use grades to classify. Liu Xiang himself said that he only thinks about 10 seconds.
30~10 seconds 40 level.
So in this way, he is five or six levels behind the faster people, and at least two or three levels behind the slower people.
This kind of gap is no longer the same level in sprint racing.
It's called strength crushing.
For example, what Bolt did at the Bird's Nest.
The others also ran well.
But compared with him...
Then there is no comparison at all.
He was fucked easily.
From this perspective, what Renaldo said was not a deliberate criticism, but a very pertinent fact.
And he also believes that the external environment of "surrounded by powerful enemies" may also be the biggest motivation for Liu Xiang to break the world record. If he wants to regain the Olympic gold medal in London on the evening of August 8, Liu Xiang must break out of Robles
, the "encirclement" of Merritt, Richardson and others. Robles is the world's second best time in the short span, with a best time of 12.87 seconds. He is currently the player with the most sub-13 seconds in the world; Merritt is this year's best
The name that has just suddenly emerged has been unknown before, but it exploded after finally completing technological changes this year.
At the U.S. Track and Field Olympic Trials, he ran the world's best time of 12.93 seconds this season, even surpassing Liu Xiang himself who had previously run a good time; Richardson was the runner-up at the Daegu World Championships and ran the best time in the U.S. Track and Field Olympic Trials.
, this time I also ran a good time of 12.98 seconds.
And he ran out several times in a row.
This proves that his strength and condition have been adjusted to a high level on the eve of the Olympic Games.
However, Renaldo emphasized that Liu Xiang is a "big competition" player. The stronger the opponent, the better his performance. This is the case in Eugene. Coach Sun Haiping predicted before the Eugene game that Liu Xiang's time would not exceed 12 seconds.
95. However, high-level opponents inspired Liu Xiang's desire to win, and "Liu Feiren" tied the world record of 12.85 seconds in super wind speed.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is the best evidence that Liu Xiang is a competition-oriented athlete.
Their type is better, stronger, and rarer than competitive players.
This can also be regarded as a reflection of their personal abilities and strength.
Reynaldo Nehemiah emphasized that Liu Xiang, who rarely makes mistakes on the high hurdles, has a strong heart. This may be the most important guarantee for Liu Xiang's record-breaking gold medal at the London Olympics.
However, if the opponent does not make mistakes and his technical performance explodes on that day, then it is very likely that the final draw after 10 people pass...
It will determine the final outcome.
If Liu Xiang is still a healthy Liu Xiang, or a young Liu Xiang, then Su Shen will definitely improve his flat running ability early. After all, leaving this kind of 100-meter athlete does not look professional at all.
His sprinting skills were all in shambles, but he was able to run a record of 10.30.4 seconds. In an era when even a domestic champion might only be able to win a championship in 10.30 seconds, he was really talented.
Even judging from his athletic talent and big heart...
If developed properly from an early age.
Su Shendu was confident that it would not be completely impossible to get it started. After all, he had an information gap that no one else in this era had, and the most direct upgrade highway.
Combining these can definitely improve your performance.
it is a pity……
Liu Xiang's current foot injury has already taken a huge risk for this Olympics, and it is impossible to increase any intensity.
So he could only give up here.
I just hope Liu Xiang can participate in the London Olympics with a healthy body.
I can compete fairly with these players.
That is enough.
Let’s break down the eight key gold-medal events in track and field released this year – men’s 110-meter hurdles, men’s 20-kilometer walk, men’s 50-kilometer walk, women’s 20-kilometer walk, women’s discus, women’s shot put, women’s hammer throw and women’s marathon.
Liu Xiang is still the most confident of winning the gold medal.
You know that the expectations of these upper-class people and the ordinary people below are still the highest for Liu Xiang.
Hence his popularity after it ended in Eugene.
It has soared to the national level again.
As the Olympics approach, his news has become somewhat similar to the one in 2008 that can be seen almost everywhere.
If he hadn't recovered from the deep slump after his injury, he might have received such enthusiastic support.
Liu Xiang himself would probably feel scared.
…
Ersha Island Training Base.
Tomorrow is the selection competition. Compared with the selection competition for the World Championships, this is what Liu Xiang dreams about.
This means that he has to start his Olympic journey again.
And this time.
Just the last time.
He will stop at nothing to fight for an Olympic gold medal.
Regardless of whether the United States suddenly killed a Merritt.
Or maybe a talented Russian youngster suddenly appeared in Europe?
It doesn't matter.
Originally, I was aiming to win the championship.
It was just an easy win.
Or maybe it’s the struggle to win the championship.
There will be no third possibility.
Su Shen had just finished discussing some new technologies, insights and details of the new system with Randy and Ralph Mann. When he saw Liu Xiang standing here, he was a little curious and walked over to ask a few questions.
Liu Xiang saw it was Su Shen.
He suddenly smiled and asked: "Do you think I can defeat these new masters?"
"Including the one you said you wanted me to pay attention to?"
"Now it looks like he's Merritt."
"Do you think I can do it?"
Su Shen hesitated for a moment.
I wanted to say it, but I thought it would work.
He still believes in Liu Xiang.
But this slight hesitation allowed Liu Xiang to see that Su Shen was optimistic about Merritt.
Otherwise, he would never have hesitated like this after running a super wind speed of 12.85 in Eugene.
"So do you think he can break 12.90 seconds?"
Su Shen did not speak at this time.
Because he didn't know whether he should continue to say more. No matter how much he said, the secret might be revealed.
But sometimes silence is an attitude.
At least it's a trend.
"That's it." Liu Xiang touched his nose here and looked at Su Shen and said: "I said that God will not be so kind to me. He will not arrange several good opponents for me in this year's Olympics. Sure enough,
, isn’t this coming?”
"but……"
"Even if he can run at a level similar to my world record, I still want to win!"
"After all, my state this year..."
“Very good too.”
"Not bad either."
Seeing Liu Xiang so optimistic, there is even a shadow, just like the high-spirited life back then.
Su Shen sometimes really wants to say something.
What if he can run faster than all of you think?
What if he didn't just open 12 seconds and 90?
What if he even came close to opening 12 seconds of 80.
…
He wasn't sure what kind of butterfly effect such words would have.
And this year he really doesn't have the energy to be distracted in other places.
It's just the people he has to face.
That is the most powerful in history.
Even the biggest devil in the history of track and field sports.
In this duel, he couldn't predict it accurately.
Su Shen could only choose silence.
Of course he hopes Liu Xiang can win.
But now we have to live...
The first thing is to be healthy.
Can we break the original timeline and risk getting injured before the start of the London Olympics?
If you can't pass this level.
This historical node cannot be opened.
The rest is all in vain.
But now the time is very close.
Will it turn the gears of history?
Su Shen himself...
I can only look at this familiar figure from behind.
