Chapter 1772 A prophecy containing heavenly secrets
[Liu Xiang won the championship in 12.93 and Merritt in 12.88 seconds]
At 2:50 am on July 14th, Beijing time, the 2012 IAAF Diamond League London Station ended the men's 110-meter hurdles final. Liu Xiang finished second in the men's 110-meter hurdles final with a score of 12.93.
With a tailwind of 0.6 meters per second, American player Merritt finally set a good time of 12.88 seconds, continuing to refresh his own WL and breaking the competition record set by Robles last year.
[Liu Xiang felt discomfort in his ribs three weeks ago and the team decided to take the risk after discussion]
When Liu Xiang and his team arrived in London on the 11th, he himself said that he did not take the game seriously at all and was just warming up. His coach Sun Haiping also told reporters at the time that Liu Xiang was training recently
, everything is normal, except for slight discomfort in the ribs.
But it does not affect the overall situation.
But now it seems that it may still have a lot of impact.
After the game on the 13th, an insider who did not want to be named told our reporter that Liu Xiang felt discomfort in his ribs during training about three weeks ago, and the reason is unclear. Today he was in the preliminaries.
He ran very easily, but maybe because of the cool weather, he said after the race that his back and ribs felt uncomfortable during the run.
[Liu Xiang was disappointed in the last game before the Olympics. How will he answer the question when he goes to London with 6 championships and 1 Asia?]
At this point, with more than 20 days left before the men's 110-meter hurdles competition in the London Olympics, Liu Xiang's results for various "tests" have been released. With four championships and one runner-up title, Liu Xiang will
Heading to the Olympics. Liu Xiang participated this year and won championships in the Birmingham Indoor Championships, World Indoor Track and Field Championships, Kawasaki Grand Prix, Diamond League Shanghai Station and Eugene Station. Some people have previously joked that this year's Liu Xiang, unless he himself is not better than
, otherwise the champion will never fall away.
On June 3, Liu Xiang ran a crazy time of 12.85 seconds, but the wind speed at that time slightly exceeded the regulations and could not be recorded as equaling the world record. Despite this, this performance also made Chinese and foreign media unanimously believe that Liu Xiang
Already the number one favorite for the gold medal in the London Olympics, the winning odds have always been at the top of the list. As a result, the Olympic plan failed in the final battle, and Merritt's results in two consecutive games were aggressive. This one opened in the 12.90s. To think of it,
London has made some gains, but Liu Xiang's mental quality is the biggest test.
[IAAF: Some people are frustrated and others shine. Merritt rubs salt into Liu Xiang’s wounds]
Merritt's performance proved to Liu Xiang that if he wanted to win the gold medal in London in a few weeks, he would have to pass him. Merritt defeated everyone including Liu Xiang, and his time of 12.88 seconds was not only a new competition record
, and also created the best results produced in London. Even though Liu Xiang's results were not bad, Merritt sprinkled salt on Liu Xiang's wounds with his perfect performance.
It seemed to be telling him.
This year in London, I am the number one favorite.
[Sun Haiping’s 8-character analysis of Liu Xiang’s first loss of the season on his birthday: The results are very good and I am satisfied]
He said: These are the same people for the Olympics. Merritt is still very strong, even stronger than he imagined.
However, Liu Xiang still has time and will make targeted adjustments.
[Merritt: This is not my highest level yet!]
Merritt was interviewed after the game and said that this was not his best level. He felt that he still had room and possibility for improvement!
Whether it is or not, let us wait and see.
[Liu Xiang’s biggest enemy, eye-catching experts say you have to fight within 12 seconds and 90 seconds to have a chance of winning in the Olympics]
"Originally, I thought I could easily win the championship with 12.95, but now it seems that it is very likely that I need to break the original Olympic record to win."
"I don't think there is any doubt whether Liu Xiang can run 12.95. Even if he is 29 years old, there is no problem. But can he hit the 12.91s he created in 2004? This is worth thinking about."
An expert and professor from Beijing University of Sports in China said in an interview.
[After the game: The Flyers treated it calmly and claimed: See you in the Olympics]
Liu Xiang smiled at the defeat and claimed that the only competition this year was the Olympics.
…
It seems that the control of public opinion is pretty good, and it is not completely out of control like in the previous life, but this is just the surface.
In the previous life, that was called the world falling apart after the game.
All kinds of monsters, monsters and monsters all collapsed.
I couldn't watch the news after the game.
It's like blowing up a snake's nest.
After the press conference, Liu Xiang's team did not relax. Even the team knew that the real "tension" had just begun.
Inside the room, Sun Haiping's face was very ugly. After saying hello to Liu Xiangdi who came in, he stared blankly ahead without any expression. The atmosphere was very awkward, including the team members.
Falling into silence. Everyone feels a little uneasy at this moment. The originally good situation in 2012 has suddenly taken a turn for the worse, on the eve of the Olympics...
This is true.
It's hard to accept.
It was still Liu Xiang himself who broke the silence. He watched the videographer filming the 110-meter hurdles arrive. Liu Xiang stood up, took the camera, and watched the video over and over again. Sun Haiping on the side
He opened his mouth to ask about the results that he already knew, and then fell into silence again.
Time passed by, and various thoughts were swirling in the minds of the team members, some good and some bad.
call--
As the main party involved, Liu Xiang decided to stand up and break the deadlock, otherwise the team members would be really uncomfortable if this continues.
"Don't be like this, everyone. Today is my 29th birthday. Let's all be happy." Liu Xiangqiang cheered up. He knew that he was the core of this team. If there was a sudden change, he could not be the first to cause problems.
Birthday?
Yes, everyone originally planned to win this game, give London a good start, and celebrate a little in the evening.
but now……
No one wants to bring this up.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Instead, Liu Xiang himself brought it up.
Some people were unsure and looked at Sun Haiping next to him. Sun Haiping seemed to understand what Liu Xiang meant. The incident had already happened and it was not an option to continue like this. He should first relax the atmosphere in the team and then discuss countermeasures tomorrow.
The matter is too big and Merritt is in such good condition that he can't come up with any good solutions right now.
It's better to take a good rest and try again tomorrow.
otherwise.
I guess everyone will not sleep well.
If you don't sleep well, it will affect your real work tomorrow.
Merritt comes out.
I guess it will be "high-intensity" work until the Olympics.
Take a breather.
Sun Haiping thought it was okay.
"Then go ahead and push the cake over. Let's all eat together. Ah Xiang performed very well today. 12.93s is a very good result and has reached our team's expected goal. But... forget it, everyone.
Let’s celebrate Xiang’s birthday first.”
Seeing Sun Haiping speak, everyone nodded hesitantly and walked out.
Get the cake.
"Then let's watch the 100-meter race first and cheer for our Ersha Island teammates." Liu Xiang said with a smile.
But anyone can guess it.
He is probably the one in the worst mood right now.
Merritt suddenly appeared in this state...
I'm afraid it's hard to say.
It’s hard to say anything.
…
A lot of trouble was brewing on Liu Xiang's side.
The London Diamond Race 100m is about to begin.
The first thing to start is the finals of the women's group.
Chen Juan and Wei Yongli both arrived at the scene through the inspection area.
Even one of them is now the domestic leader in women's sprinting, and the rest are either too young.
Otherwise, you simply don’t have enough strength and potential, so you won’t be able to make it.
But at least this year's Olympics is better than the last Olympics. Chen Juan is stronger and has a "little sister" by her side.
Although Chen Juan is said to be the elder sister and Wei Yongli's idol, she is actually not much older than Wei Yongli. She was also born in the 1990s. In 1990, she was one and a half years older.
Belong to peers.
It's just that Chen Juan got her results relatively early, so she seems to be of a different era from Wei Yongli.
"Ali, come on, this London Diamond Games is the time to test your best condition. Don't be anxious, stay calm, don't rush ahead and waste this best training opportunity before the London Olympics."
"I feel that today's track is a bit slippery, and the information collected by my team shows a large number of examples of injuries that are prone to occur in London. It may be related to the weather here. Don't be careless. When you start, your spikes must be in the first few steps.
Step forward steadily and don't be too impatient to move forward. If you lose stability, you will have room to develop your skills later."
"The last thing is, before the Olympics, don't act out of emotion and don't get hurt."
Chen Juan is here, starting to take Wei Yongli step by step to capture the details and experience of various competitions.
Just like Su Shen took her hand in hand back then.
Very similar.
Wei Yongli has no Olympic experience, and Chen Juan is her idol, so naturally she keeps nodding at this time.
Keep absorbing.
Tianchao Sports Channel.
"Friends in the audience, the competition that is about to begin is a 100-meter event. The first is the women's 100-meter final."
"Both Chinese players Chen Juan and Wei Yongli will compete."
After that, all the athletes came out.
Chen Juan and Wei Yongli are also among them.
"Eight players will participate in the finals, and the top four in each group's preliminaries will be selected."
"The first one is Carrie Russell of Jamaica. Her career best score of 11.05 was set this year. She is a player born in the 1990s."
"Second track, Silony Powell, is also a Jamaican athlete. Her career best score is also 11.05s, and this year's best score is also 11.05s."
"The third track, Erin Bailey, a Jamaican player, has a career SB of 11.04s, and this year it is also 11.04s. It can be seen that the Olympics are approaching, and many athletes are starting to prepare to explode."
"The fourth lane is Chinese player Chen Juan. She is also the only active player in Asia who can open 11 seconds."
"Blessing Okabare in lane five has not opened 11 seconds yet. I don't know if she will have a chance before the Olympics."
"Carmelita Jeter, the number one female trapeze artist in the United States in the sixth track, goes without saying about her strength. She scored in 11 seconds with just one kick. Her goal should be to compete for the Olympic gold medal."
"Tina Madison, an American player in the seventh track, is a player who suddenly emerged in this year's US Championships. She once opened double 11 seconds in the US Championships. She is also one of this year's potential seeds."
"Chinese player Wei Yongli in the eighth lane, Wei Yongli's PB is relatively inconspicuous here, but she is still young, and this year is also her first Olympic Games. The focus is on learning and accumulating experience, traveling lightly and not having any ideological baggage is the best choice.
.”
…
Not long after I finished speaking, the electronic password suddenly sounded.
"set."
Chen Juan and Wei Yongli both propped up their bodies and rushed out after waiting for the gunshot.
Both of them are experienced athletes. Even Wei Yongli has gone through various experiences in this life and even won the World Youth Championship.
Facing a diamond match.
Even though she is only 20 years old, she does not have the anxiety of traditional athletes.
Bang——————————
Gunfire rang out.
Game start.
Because Fraser, the starting Superman, was eliminated early, Jeter may be the biggest star in this shot.
The other one is her American compatriot Madison.
But after the gunfire rang out.
But they were not the first ones to rush out.
Look at this figure.
Who is it if it’s not Chen Juan?
Chen Juan started with her bent arm, and her speed was astonishingly fast. Even with her height, she overpowered Madison and Jeter.
This starting ability is really...
Even Jeter felt a little outrageous.
It's a pity that she is old now and has no time to delve into such new technologies.
However, the benefits brought by this technology are obvious. Chen Juan suddenly became a world-class startup expert from her weak startup and physical limitations.
This is not considered world-class, and no one can be considered world-class. Jeter's evaluation of Chen Juan is very pertinent. In fact, she did not win against Chen Juan, but was at a disadvantage.
She had paid attention to this Asian female athlete a few years ago.
At that time, Chen Juan was just an Asian, fairly good, and was known as the first sister, but in the world she was a second-rate or even third-rate athlete.
What now?
Jeter feels that if the start is suppressed, it is very likely that the pressure behind it will not be too small.
Moreover, Jeter had some ankle discomfort during the preliminaries, which made her not too eager to go all out here. After all, the Olympics are right in front of her, and this kind of competition is just a diamond competition. For a well-rounded player like her,
...it has long since lost its meaning of having to win.
Jeter was not feeling well in the preliminaries and did not start her desperate follow-up, but her teammate Madison was not convinced by Chen Juan.
I want to learn from Chen Juan in the startup process.
However……
The advantages brought by the bent-arm start were something Madison could not have imagined.
As the first female athlete in the world to use this technology, she has no experience at all to learn how to target it.
In other words, no matter how experienced the coaching team is, they don’t know how to start when facing Chen Juan...
What should be done?
And now before the Olympics, everyone is trying their best to sprint for the Olympics.
I don’t have much experience to analyze Chen Juan specifically.
Of course, if you achieve good results this year.
It would be impossible not to analyze her.
…
"When the competition started, no one thought that Chen Juan would be the fastest to start!"
"Although she is tall, her start has made a huge breakthrough this year! She has suppressed Jeter and Madison, and now Chen Juan is taking the lead!"
"Her speed gradually increased in the acceleration zone. Madison was chasing her very closely, but... after entering the middle of the run, Chen Juan was not afraid at all. She even continued to widen the gap with Madison here!!!"
"Now she has no problem facing top players!!!"
"Oh? It seems that Madison's rhythm distribution is not good enough, and she started to get stretched out during the run!?"
Madison actually suddenly broke out at the US Championships. Although she broke out with excellent results, her condition was not stable. After all, her focus was not specifically on the 100 meters before.
Now she faces Chen Juan who is competing in the 100-meter event.
On the contrary, this shows a disadvantage in experience.
In the rhythm confrontation, she was slightly flustered after her rhythm fell behind, and was immediately pulled away by Chen Juan.
Is it so easy? Jeter didn't come up either?
Just as Chen Juan was thinking about it, the sound of spiked shoes was heard from the right side of her.
On the right? This is... Blessing Okabare?
But Okabare has never broken through 11 seconds?
How could we catch up here?
Yes, Okabare has indeed never opened 11 seconds before this game. But the first time she opened 11 seconds in her life was in this game.
It's just that the original timeline appears in the preliminaries.
Now she is preserving her strength in the preliminaries just to explode in the finals.
Although Chen Juan doesn't know how Blessing Okabare suddenly ran so fast, it doesn't matter. Her entire speed has now been completely added up. After the body has fully opened its stride, unless you are late
Those monsters, otherwise Chen Juan would have no idea about her future...
There is also confidence.
At least Blessing Okabare wants to overtake him from behind? This is definitely not an easy task.
Seventy meters and eighty meters.
Blessing Okabare's reserved strength exploded in this shot, because Jeter's shot started conservatively and did not bring him a strong offensive. Madison also lacked high-level experience, and Chen Juan was on the way.
If you run harder, you will be the first to decline.
Then only Okabare, who retained his strength in the preliminaries, was left.
"This shot is full of surprises. Who would have thought that the leader now is not Frazier, Jeter, or even Madison?"
The on-site commentators will also keep up with current events when they arrive.
The entire audience began to pay attention to the two female trapeze artists who were currently leading the race.
Okabare's shot indeed showed his ability, but...
Not enough is shown.
She has just been able to break through the 11-second speed barrier. Even though her physical talents have been stimulated through the accumulation of this season, when she also faces this speed barrier...
Chen Juan can break easily.
11 seconds?
Now for Chen Juan, it is no longer a roadblock.
Especially after starting the crank start.
Chen Juan now faces the hot pursuit of Okabare...
There is no pressure.
She just felt a little surprised that her old rival had made so many breakthroughs in this Olympic year.
Look at her position behind him.
It should have been opened for about 11 seconds.
but.
Old rival.
Open for 11 seconds.
That's just the beginning.
"Chen Juan still maintained her advantage and did not give Okabare a chance!"
“There’s no pressing line! Just cross the finish line!”
“10.95s!!!”
"This shot is even a little headwind!"
"Headwind 0.22 meters per second!"
"Chen Juan still ran to a time of 10.95 seconds, and she won first place!!!"
"Looking at it this way, we can also look forward to Chen Juan in London this year! I hope she will have the opportunity to compete for an OL competition medal in the future."
"Oka Barre is also very good. This shot was opened in 10 seconds 99 and 11 seconds opened. Jeter, who was more optimistic before the game, only ran 11 seconds 03 in this shot. However, looking at the slow motion, Jeter seems to have started.
At that time, I gave up my forwardness a little, maybe because I had some physical discomfort, so I just chose to be conservative before the Olympics."
"The fourth place is American player Madison. This player who scored 11 seconds in the US Championships did not continue her magic in the first game in London. She only ran 11.13 seconds, which is the same as her US Championships result.
But it’s quite a bit different.”
"Fifth place is... flower grower Wei Yongli. She ran a time of 11.20 seconds. Despite the slight headwind, she still ran her best."
But Wei Yongli herself was a little depressed, mainly because there were not many opponents at the same level as her in this match, and even if they were, they didn't perform well.
This frustrated her original plan to hit 11.20 seconds in this game.
Fortunately, this shot is a headwind gun.
Hard power is still very strong.
It has even been opened for 11 seconds 20.
Because Bailey, who was in sixth place, had a time of only 11.25 seconds.
The 7th place was a female athlete from Jamaica, Powell. Her performance was even worse. She felt that the connection was not done well and the slippery track had a greater impact. She only ran 11.40 seconds.
11.40 seconds is considered a good result domestically and in Asia, but in the international arena, it is really not worth mentioning.
The last place was Jamaican athlete Carly Russell. This athlete born in the 1990s didn't know if she was a little nervous. The entire technical rhythm was not good, and in the end she could only open 11.50 seconds.
He finished last with a time of 11.48 seconds.
…
"I feel that I am in very good condition." Chen Juan said in a post-match interview: "This is my second Olympic Games. I hope to give an account of my nearly 10-year track and field career in London."
"I hope I won't be in the last few positions in the finals this time, and I won't be at the bottom again."
"I also want to be able to win medals for our flower grower team just like Xiao Tian brother Gou Huan brother."
"I also want to prove that our female athletes still have the opportunity to compete for medals in top international competitions."
"Hopefully this dream is not too far away."
…
"This girl called me Brother Gou Huan in front of everyone, ugh." Zhao Haohuan shook his head, but looking at his expression, he seemed to have accepted this reality.
"But it's still difficult for women to get medals." Zhao Haohuan lamented, how many people can do 80 in 10 seconds now? Sister Juan is not doing well in this era.
"There's nothing wrong with that." Instead, Su Shen looked at Chen Juan, who was getting more and more confident on her face during the interview, and said, "In the past, wouldn't there have been more top players? Besides, Lao Mi was taking drugs in that era.
The effect can be ahead of the curve, but there are too many times.”
"And the Olympics are the birthplace of miracles."
"Who knows what will happen after the gunfire?"
"Maybe, this future."
"Maybe even this year."
After hearing this, Zhao Haohuan just echoed a few words.
But he didn't think about it.
Su Shen said.
In fact, it is not just encouragement.
Rather, it is a prophecy laced with heavenly secrets.
Don't talk about probability.
At least this year.
There is really a chance.
It just depends on whether you can fight for it.
ps: It’s the end of the month, please vote!!!!!!!!!!
The younger generation is rising. The women's 100 meters, the men's 100 meters, and the men's 400 meters are all underage athletes, but they have all run very strong results.
After waiting for so long, it’s finally time to wait for the next generation of geniuses.
