Chapter 1844 World Record Holder VS World Record Holder
Liu Xiang won the first place by starting the reaction.
Merritt was a little shocked. He even thought that Liu Xiang had already run away at that moment.
did not expect.
He actually dared to press the gun.
Merritt was a little messy.
He thought about many scenarios of Liu Xiang running away with him, but this was the only one...
He didn't think about it.
Olympic gun?
You are kidding, I don’t even dare to do it. He should want to prove himself more than himself after 2008. How dare he be so bold?
Just this moment.
Liu Xiang's courage shocked Merritt's invincible momentum just before the game.
Because he knows.
I don't dare to do this myself.
But if someone does it and succeeds, the inner feeling of invincibility will be weakened for the first time.
However... Aris' top column is definitely strong enough.
No one is better than him when it comes to climbing the hurdles in seven steps.
Andreas Beem absolutely believes this.
Liu Xiang is originally an Oriental, and explosive power is not his strong point. Moreover, he is still thirty years old and has suffered serious injuries. How can he compete with Merritt, who is at his peak, to compete with the seven-step hurdle?
I guess most people think so too.
so……
You have to do this even more! Brother Xiang!
Believe me, whenever he performs well in the semifinals, his previous starts will be weakened.
Su Shen's words still ring in my ears.
Especially the first time he gambled his life with a gun, such a dangerous thing was successful. Now Liu Xiang can only believe in Su Shen with all his strength.
He even put his last and most important game on Su Shen.
He is willing too.
He was ready from the start.
When starting, swing your leg in the ready position and place it in front of the taking-up leg.
Increase the load on the swing leg when pushing off the ground.
Lift your center of gravity earlier after starting.
As the stride length increases, the cadence decreases accordingly.
Compared with before, he has to place his center of gravity higher and lean forward, so that when he pedals out, he can obtain a greater initial speed and ensure subsequent connection.
Therefore, stronger core assistance is needed.
The core strength was not enough in the past. Even Liu Xiang in his previous life had to re-train his strength for a period of time before climbing the hurdles in seven steps.
It's just that the path and method used are not scientific or reasonable enough.
But here, it's not a problem.
…
"Liu, your strength and explosion are too poor when doing this. Robles dares to use 7 steps because as a European and American black athlete, his muscle type determines that his fast-twitch muscle fibers are relatively rich, and he has very good explosive power and absolute strength.
So the first thing you have to do if you want to catch up is to improve your strength and explosiveness, especially core strength. You have never practiced it specifically. It is too bad. Forcibly urging you can only make your knees, ankles and Achilles tendons help.
You compensate too much."
"After the new technology is adopted, on the one hand, the stride length must be increased, and on the other hand, the stride frequency must be kept unchanged. This requires that your leg's ability to withstand strength must be enhanced. Even God can't help you like this."
"The second difficulty is the connection. Although Liu's advantage lies in the technique and rhythm between columns, after using new technology, how to make the first column and the following columns well connected is still an issue that should be paid special attention to.
Especially the first column, how to attack it is very important."
…
This is what Ralph Mann told him from the beginning during the past few years of training, about the difficulty of changing eight to seven.
Ralph Mann and Randy were also watching the scene, especially Ralph Mann. If it weren't for the Olympics, he wouldn't have come to the scene at all. After all, for him now, it would be better to close the door and do research than to come to the scene.
.
But Liu Xiang himself has been leading the Olympic Games for so long.
He also wanted to see what kind of performance Liu Xiang could perform on this ultimate stage.
Can you do what you said and do it well?
The first column, how would you handle it, Liu.
Ralph Mann folded his arms and looked closely in the direction of the first hurdle of the sixth lane. His old eyes were unblinking.
In the first hurdle of eight-to-seven, compared to the eight-step hurdle attack, the biggest change is that the kicking angle between the starting leg and the first hurdle becomes smaller during the hurdle attack, which requires a lower center of gravity for athletes.
And the lower center of gravity means that the chance of jumping over the hurdles is increased...
Just increase it simultaneously.
Why did Merritt play hurdles in the semifinals? It was because the first hurdle was not handled properly, which caused the hurdles to fall down when connecting later.
Merritt's explosive power and physical attributes are better, and his flat running is stronger, so he can do this, but Liu Xiang cannot.
If it hits the hurdle, it means that Liu Xiang's overall rhythm will change.
Liu Xiang has an absolute flow of rhythm.
It is very different from the American short span model.
Therefore, he cannot hang on.
The first time you hit it, you'll be dead.
He even fell out directly.
"You need to change the angle of the stand-up and back-pedaling. The one you had before was not enough and was too big."
Liu Xiang is here...
The first step, the second step, the third step, the fourth step, the fifth step...
Approach quickly and forcefully.
Thighs dominate, feet elevated.
Step out!
As you approach the first rail, bend with your front leg and lift your knee.
Stretch forward.
The first hurdle was already under his feet.
Angle of step-up and back kick.
This shot was well done!
Ralph Mann looked at him and admired silently. This did not look like a person who was suffering from injuries and suffering from severe pain in his heels.
This is true even if there is a closed needle.
Sealing needles are not a panacea, and athletes still need to do it themselves.
When Liu Xiang crossed the first hurdle, his hind legs quickly kicked forward and raised his feet over the railing.
The first column.
Successfully crossed.
And he was the first among everyone in the room.
He even completely surpassed Merritt.
This made Merritt's coach shocked.
It seemed that I couldn't believe that such a thing could happen.
Merritt didn't expect Liu Xiang to be so fast on the first hurdle. It was ridiculously fast.
He never thought that Liu Xiang's speed was only one aspect...
Slowing down your own speed is another aspect.
His final starts the first hurdle attack speed.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It is worse than the semi-finals.
Whether it is this life or the previous life, it is the same.
"Liu Xiang attacked the first hurdle and succeeded! He is now in the first place! He is clearly ahead of Merritt!"
Yang Jian was also shocked by Liu Xiang's performance in the first column, and his voice immediately connected with the nerves that made his blood boil, making his voice more infectious than usual.
Seeing Liu Xiang taking the lead, viewers across the country started to roar in front of their screens for the first time in the game.
very good.
This is the suppression of the first column. This layout is very important, as long as it can be taken down.
Merritt must have experienced the first psychological effects.
Su Shen was thinking quickly on the sidelines.
His suggestion to Liu Xiang was not nonsense, nor was it empty talk, but... it was based on history and reality.
Because only he knew that Merritt's starting reaction and the finals were both 0.140, and his first hurdle was 0.06s slower than the semifinals.
What is the concept of 0.06s? In the straight track event, this means that the start is more than one level lower than before.
In addition, Liu Xiang's shot was successful, so this gave him a full 0.1s advantage.
0.1s? What kind of gap is that in short track racing?
I believe that people who often watch games already know this well.
This is what Su Shen had planned for Liu Xiang a long time ago - a 0.1 second advantage in starting.
Overwhelm the opponent by two levels.
Put unprecedented psychological pressure on Merritt.
Because the short span is different from the 100 meters, the difference of 0.1 seconds here will be more difficult to chase than the 100 meters. The reason is...
There is a railing blocking the short span.
It's not like 100 meters, where you just have to cross it.
Every 0.1 second, because of the obstruction of the hurdles, the gap will become larger, which will further test the rhythm and psychological quality.
Therefore, it is absolutely no problem to say that the 110-meter hurdles tests the sense of rhythm more than the 100-meter hurdles.
Here, with the restrictions of the hurdles, how to compete with the rhythm is the final point of competition.
It's not just a simple duel of speed.
Each hurdle is 10 yards long, which is 9.14 meters, and is filled with the challenge of rhythm.
Merritt did not expect that he would be pulled away by Liu Xiang for 0.1 seconds from the beginning. This made him mentally unprepared for this, and he suddenly became slightly anxious.
What's more, in this shot, his good friend from the United States, Richardson, also started very quickly. He did not consume so much in the semifinals, and his overall condition was also very good. Merritt actually fell to third place from the beginning.
After passing the first column, you are third.
This is a state that Merritt himself did not expect.
Who knew this would happen?
Within his original expectations.
He should be far ahead by now.
Everyone is eating ashes behind their own backs.
This is just right.
What is the result now...
Merritt's continuous outbursts in the past month have made his proud little heart a little unbearable. At this time, Merritt's head coach Andreas even regretted...
Merritt, who is not in the limelight, has suffered a slight setback.
At least that's it.
Now that he is facing a backward situation, he will not easily suffer too much psychological fluctuations, and he can also have the experience to adjust and face it.
Now?
The situation has become like this.
Andreas could only pray in his heart that his disciple Merritt would have a strong psychological quality, don't panic, and use his abilities to the fullest.
Don't let yourself fall behind at the start.
There was too much negative feedback.
At this time, a strange scene actually happened later. That is, Xie Wenjun, who was the last one to enter the finals, was admiring Liu Xiang for his strength. He could win the first column in this situation and was worthy of being the pride of all Asian track and field athletes...
He also suddenly discovered a problem.
That is.
You are actually still in a relatively advanced position?
In other words, he, who barely entered the finals with the last little q, is not watching the performances of the other big players at the end.
Instead he rushed to the front?
At least it's in the middle.
The people in front of him, except for Liu Xiang, Richardson, Merritt, and Robles, these were people who were originally going for the Olympic gold medal, and the rest...
There was actually only one Jamaican player born in the 1990s, Pachiment, who was still ahead of him.
Others, such as Bratwitt and Ortega, are all behind him?
The first column was suppressed by yourself?
This was something Xie Wenjun never expected before the competition.
It seemed to him.
This shot of mine should be the worst among everyone.
Take a look now.
These two people, whose personal performance was much better than his own, were actually left behind by him? Xie Wenjun himself felt a little incredible.
Are these guys drunk?
Do you give yourself face like this?
The answer is of course not what Xie Wenjun thought.
Who is likely to let him go in the Olympic finals?
Isn't it nonsense to sacrifice yourself to help others?
You are like this Bratwitt from Barbados. It seems that his personal best is much better than Xie Wenjun, but this is just a look. In fact, he himself has not opened it for two full years.
13 seconds 20.
Another example is Spanish player Ortega.
In fact, his best result this year has been 13.10, which is better than Xie Wenjun no matter how you look at it. But the problem is here, after Ortega opened 13.10 this season, he actually suffered an injury.
.
This is not because after the peak moment in Havana, he was around 13.30 seconds in several consecutive games. Even if he was given a 1.6-meter strong wind, he could only run 13.25.
This was his last game before the Olympics.
Under such circumstances, he tried his best in the preliminaries and semi-finals, but when he was already tired in the finals, it was not surprising that he was left behind by Xie Wenjun.
The Ortega now is no longer the Ortega he was at the end of May. He actually only has the ability to clock 13.20 seconds now. After struggling against the wind in the semi-finals for 13.20 seconds, his body's physical reserves have been exhausted.
.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He can stand on the court in the final, which is already a victory.
I simply don’t have the level to beat a personal PB again.
To put it bluntly, I can't even open 13 seconds 40.
In this case, it is not incomprehensible for Xie Wenjun to perform stably as a Su Shen type and suppress him.
In fact, Xie Wenjun tried his best in the semi-finals.
But the four years of scientific training on Ersha Island have given him a major upgrade and transformation in his physical foundation. At least he can still barely get away with this shot in 13 seconds and 30 seconds.
Of course this result is not good-looking.
There is nothing worthy of praise.
But comparing people to others is annoying, so you have to throw away the goods when you compare them.
Against the background that the other two contestants were in worse shape in the finals and had more physical reserves, he actually seemed to be relatively more energetic.
This is why Xie Wenjun can take the lead here. These two famous European and American players are obviously more famous and honored in the international arena than themselves.
However, not many people paid attention to him at this time.
Because there are too many masters in this game.
I can’t even look past the top 4.
Who cares about the next ranking?
Even Sun Haiping himself might not have much energy to devote to Xie Wenjun.
The camera cuts back to the front.
Liu Xiang continued to attack the second column.
Taking advantage of the momentum in the first column, Liu Xiang also went smoothly in the second column. At this time, he gradually understood Su Shen's intention.
Why is it said that Merritt must be suppressed from the front?
For now.
Merritt wasn't even No. 2.
This gives Liu Xiang a strong probability of winning.
Although the second-placed Richardson is also an American player, he is obviously not as good as his compatriot as an American player. Merritt wants to put pressure on Liu Xiang.
If Liu Xiang's opponent for this shot was changed from Merritt to Richardson, then Sun Haiping would probably wake up laughing in his dreams.
As for Robles.
terribly sorry.
His position at the start was not very good.
Even behind this young player from Jamaica.
Looking at this situation, unless Hou Cheng reaches his peak ability, he may have problems with this so-called future short-term star of Jamaica.
It was exposed at this moment.
Jamaica Field Shoes' false description of Robles. Robles simply does not have such ability now.
His injury is serious.
In the semi-finals, I already tried my best.
Before the start of the final, his leg and back injuries had already recurred.
From the way he felt uncomfortable and staggering when running, we can know something...
Championship battle.
The defending champion starts on hurdle 1.
The possibility of competing for the gold medal has been lost.
It was no different from what was expected. It soon turned into a competition between Liu Xiang and the two American players. Even after passing the second hurdle, anyone with a discerning eye could already see that the American player could at least finish in the top three.
Two medals.
Now take a look at these two medals.
Is there a golden one?
"Liu Xiang is in good condition and leading all the way. It seems that the goddess of luck is still on his side today!"
But as soon as he said this, the goddess of luck let Yang Jian know.
How vacillating she is.
How bohemian she is.
Choose a man?
No.
That's not what she wants to do in this game.
The people on the national live broadcast here are also former 400-meter hurdle champions. Anyway, 400-meter hurdle champions are not uncommon here in the United States, especially before the 21st century, short track events were almost always dominated by Americans.
In this game, the guest commentator on the American side is Kevin Young. This man is the Olympic gold medalist at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics and is also the current world record in the 400-meter hurdles. This record needs to wait until 2021 to be broken.
Kevin Young was extremely optimistic about Merritt before the game.
There were even rumors that he had bought a lot of Merritt's bets before the game.
Now seeing that Merritt was lagging behind from the beginning, he couldn't be too impatient. He almost cursed in the live broadcast room. Fortunately, he remembered that this was not his own living room, so he suppressed the curse. It could only be a little emotional.
Said: "What is Aris doing? This is not how he should behave. Didn't he go out without praying?"
But Merritt is Merritt after all.
This year is his ultimate peak year, and also the ultimate peak year in the short history of mankind. There is no need to doubt his hard power. After the second person passed, he also began to adjust his state, similar to the semi-finals...
The whole person's speed and rhythm returned to normal little by little.
After all, he is the original Olympic champion this year.
After all, he is the world record breaker this year.
After all, this is the short span record holder that will be difficult to touch in the next 10 years.
How can you underestimate him?
Merritt began to adjust himself after the second column, saying that there was a gap between his adjustment ability and rhythm ability, and he was not the best in history. It depends on who he is competing with.
If he were an ordinary player, he would still be terrifyingly stronger than he actually is.
Otherwise, he would not be able to adjust back in the semifinals.
Su Shen said what he said to Liu Xiang here, on the one hand, to cheer up Liu Xiang himself, on the other hand...
Liu Xiang was deliberately asked not to have too much psychological burden when facing Merritt.
Because he expected Merritt, he would never give up the championship so easily. Otherwise, he would not be worthy of his status as this year's Olympic champion and world record holder.
After passing the second hurdle, Merritt forcibly used his core to stabilize his body posture and readjust his pace. Just what he did now, few athletes in the Olympics can do it in actual competitions.
good.
There is one thing that Merritt does very well that most people simply cannot do, and that is hurdle time.
That is to say - the time t1 from when the stepping leg is supported to leaving the ground + the airborne time t2 when the lifting leg and the swinging leg leave the ground at the same time + the time t3 when the swinging leg is supported from landing to leaving the ground is the same.
It is an important indicator that reflects the quality of an athlete's hurdle-clearing technique, and shortening its time is an important aspect to improve hurdle-clearing efficiency.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Merritt did an extremely horrible job in this regard.
Especially this year, his T2, that is, the time it takes for his stepping leg and swinging leg to leave the ground at the same time, is unparalleled.
It is the best T2 that the short-span project has ever produced.
The time it takes for his stepping leg and swinging leg to leave the ground at the same time is truly unique.
This relatively short height can produce this kind of almost invincible flying time with both the stepping leg and the swinging leg off the ground at the same time. To be honest, if Merritt hadn't come out of nowhere, even Merritt's own coach Andreas
·Bim probably doesn’t believe that a person who is maybe not even 185 in height can run like this in such a time that the crossing leg and the swinging leg can lift off the ground at the same time.
The hurdle step starts from when the foot of the stepping leg steps on the starting point to when the foot of the swinging leg touches the ground after crossing the hurdle.
Merritt started from the third hurdle and showed his true hurdle step.
On the premise of crossing the height of the hurdle, the vertical speed when taking off can also be minimized.
At the same time, achieve a larger initial speed in the air and a lower parabolic trajectory of the body's center of gravity.
to get over the hurdle as quickly as possible.
These features, made by Merritt, are simply perfect.
The problems in the first two columns seemed to disappear, and they were completely different from his previous performance.
"Aris's speed is up, not bad, he is in the meeting, ojbk! Aris's speed is back!"
"This is Aris! He has caught up with Jason! It looks like he still prayed when he went out today!"
Kevin Yang turned from depressed to happy, and Americans naturally felt comfortable watching it. Merritt changed in just one column. This is the Merritt they want to see.
Richardson originally thought that his compatriot's abnormal performance would be his chance to perform.
Now it looks like...
I still think too much.
Merritt proved it here, or he proved it in the semifinals.
Him now.
In good condition.
Even if he makes mistakes, he is still the strongest and average player who can break 13 seconds.
Not his opponent at all.
It will still be easily wiped out by him.
Especially at this time, he also started to run in the short span, which is where Merritt can play to his strengths.
In the third column, when you take off and step on the ground, you will get faster, and when you kick off the ground, you will get faster. When you take off, you will take one step forward, and the step length will be shortened rapidly.
This is all to make hurdles more responsive and powerful.
Properly shortening the step before taking off will not only help the body's center of gravity to be in a higher position when taking off, reducing the vertical speed requirements when taking off, but also enable the body's center of gravity to pass above the support point as quickly as possible and quickly transfer to the attack hurdle.
action.
Merritt showed off his skills this time.
The fourth column.
It's faster.
and just now completely changed into two people.
Use the balls of your front feet to quickly land on the ground at the starting point near the projection point of the body's center of gravity.
When the body's center of gravity passes above the support point and turns to the attack hurdle, the jumping leg should quickly extend the three joints of the hip, knee, and ankle. At the same time, the hip should be moved forward, the upper body should lean forward slightly, and the arm on the opposite side of the swinging leg should also move forward.
stretch.
Move the body's center of gravity forward a large distance to form a suitable starting and kicking angle.
Probably around 68 degrees.
It's not over yet.
In the fifth column, Merritt, who had been well prepared before, began to explode at top speed.
His top speed zone.
Start entering at the fourth column.
The fifth column is fully expanded.
When attacking the upper hurdle, swing quickly. When the jumping leg touches the ground, the swinging leg bends the knees from behind the body and swings forward.
When the jumping leg steps on the jumping point, the center of gravity of the body moves above the vertical position, the swinging leg is bent and raised, the thigh actively moves forward, the raised leg straightens quickly and powerfully, the upper body leans forward, the arms swing violently, and the whole body moves into the hurdle "
attack"
The center of mass will move forward along the take-off path formed by the take-off span.
After the take-off leg leaves the ground, swing the leg and thigh forward and upward until the knee joint exceeds the height of the obstacle and the calf moves forward quickly. When the foot approaches the obstacle, the swing leg will be almost straight and the toes will be slightly lifted.
Then.
The opposite shoulders and arms of the swing leg will be stretched together above the track, and the upper part of the body will tilt forward so that the head is close to or slightly above the ankle joint above the knee of the swing leg.
The fifth column.
Like a black antelope.
Over the huge rock on the cliff.
Light and light.
And the worst thing is...
After he passed Richardson here, his rhythm became more and more into the state.
The gap from Liu Xiang in front also began to get smaller and smaller.
You can tell by listening to Yang Jian's voice here that the joy in the front gradually turned to anxiety——
"Liu Xiang's third hurdle also went well, and his fourth hurdle was also good. He is still in the lead. He has always been in the first place, but..."
"Merrit is working hard!" Li Tao shouted.
Yang Jian also discovered this place and said: "Merrit exerted his strength and continuously crossed the hurdles. Richardson had no power to resist him. Only two hurdles were completely pressed behind him. Merritt was second.
Already."
"He's in front now."
"Only Liu Xiang."
Yes.
Only Liu Xiang.
A duel between two people.
Finally after the fifth column.
was pushed to the stage.
The drama that everyone is looking forward to before the game.
Here it finally appears.
The figures of these two people were also reflected in Su Shen's eyes.
One is the current world record holder.
One is the world record holder in history in his own memory.
On the grounds of the London Bowl.
There will be a space showdown.
Let go of the regret that the previous life did not proceed.
Completely filled.
Liu Xiang VS Merritt.
from now on.
It completely turned into a battle between two heroes.
Two people.
Only one can leave the field with a smile.
PS: Second update~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First come 10,000 words, and there are more. I will definitely finish it tonight, and the explosion will be completed~~~!!!!!!!
