Chapter 1954 Stealing the 100-meter limelight! Super results are coming!
The 2012 IAAF Diamond League Brussels will start a fierce battle, and the men's 110-meter hurdles, where experts gather, is undoubtedly one of the most exciting events. London Olympic runner-up Merritt made bold remarks before the game, aiming to set a world record of 12.85 seconds.
.
It is easier to achieve good results in competitions between masters. Merritt once again aimed at the world record. "I think the world record is not out of reach. As long as there are appropriate conditions, of course I have to stay on the court." In Lausanne, Switzerland, Merritt won the award.
After being sent off for a false start, Richardson won the race in 13.08 seconds.
"I have to find my own rhythm, just like I have been doing this season, maybe... it will come." The current world record is 12 seconds 85 set by Liu Xiang in 2006, and Merritt's best
The result this year has also opened up to 12.90 seconds.
When Liu Xiang was injured.
The media acknowledged that no one posed a threat to him.
But without Liu Xiang's intensity, everyone has doubts about whether he can still achieve world-class results.
But some people.
I just don’t need the excitement of any competition.
On the contrary, it can produce results.
Powell and Merritt.
They are all somewhat similar to this type.
For them.
Can I get results?
Opponents are not relevant.
The main thing is to see if you can take the lead.
See how far ahead you are.
The more ahead you are.
Naturally, the more awesome it becomes.
In Birmingham, the headwind was 0.9 meters per second during the race. Merritt did not commit a foul this time. His start was simple and fast, and his running skills were excellent again during the race. However, Richardson also performed at a very high level in this station. The two of them ran at a very high level throughout the race.
It was a neck-and-neck fight, but in the end Merritt won a little bit in the sprint.
He won the championship in 12.95 seconds and broke the meet record. Merritt reached the 12.95 mark for the sixth time this year.
The results these past few months have been really terrible.
Richardson finished second in 12.98 seconds, tying his personal best. Richardson ran 12.98 times three times this year. American veteran Oliver finished third in 13.28 seconds, third in the Olympics.
Jamaican newcomer Parchmont made a mistake on the way and finished eighth in only 13.76 seconds.
Then arrived in Brussels.
This competition once again assembled the strongest lineup of the men's 110-meter hurdles today. In addition to Merritt, Richardson and Parchment also participated in the competition. In addition, there was also the American star Oliver, and the Russian newcomer Shubenko who performed well this year.
husband Merritt was placed in lane six today, while Richardson was in lane five. Before starting the race, Merritt slightly raised his head and looked at the finish line. During the race, the wind speed was 0.3 meters per second. After the gunshot,
The two started off very smoothly today. Merritt's reaction time was 0.145 seconds, while Richardson's was 0.147 seconds. The rhythm of the first seven steps was very good, and the two took the lead in the first hurdle!
Soon the game entered the two-person duel mode again. Merritt showed a jaw-dropping performance today. During the run, Merritt performed perfectly in all technical aspects, and every hurdle went smoothly in the most crisp and clean way.
However, Richardson barely followed through the first three hurdles, but then began to inevitably fall behind. At the halfway point, Merritt was clearly at the front!
There was no suspense in the ensuing battle. The unstoppable Merritt did not dare to slack off. He crossed the finish line at the highest speed. The initial display on the screen was 12 seconds 81.
Later adjusted to 12 seconds 80.
But no matter which result it was, Merritt set a new world record with a huge advantage. He raised his hands high to celebrate that he finally broke the world record in this project.
Richardson won the runner-up in 13.05 seconds, Parchmont, who has excellent late-range ability, finished third in 13.14 seconds, and Oliver finished 5th in 13.21 seconds. It is worth mentioning that although South African player Fauri only finished in 13 seconds
24 finished 6th, but he set an African record.
2012 was Merritt's breakout year. Counting today's game, he broke the 13-second mark eight times in one year, becoming the player with the most runs to break the 13-second mark in a single year in this event.
After confirming the world record for electronic timing, Merritt is only the eighth player to hold the world record. The first six players are American player Milburn, Cuban player Casanas, American player Nehemiah, and American player Kim.
Dom, Kitty Hawk player Colin Jackson, and Chinese player Liu Xiang.
"I just hope that I can finish the last race of this year's Diamond League perfectly by running under 13 seconds. I can't believe that I ran such a fast time. When I crossed the finish line and looked at the timing board,
I was also shocked by the time!" Merritt said after the game.
At the same time, Merritt also said: "I am very happy that I was able to successfully overcome the injury and activate all my potential energy. After the injury, many people told me that I should give up and find an ordinary job that is more suitable for me." In Liu
With Xiang injured and Robles and others in poor condition, Merritt almost dominated the 110-meter hurdles competition in the league this season. Except for the Olympic Games, he lamented: "This is the first time I can have such a perfect performance.
, this season is my best season."
"I don't have much impression of the race, but I know it was perfect. I think my start felt good, and my hurdles were different from previous races, I was very close to the hurdles." Merritt added, "Although I
I believe I can break the world record, but before I thought my limit was 12.85 seconds. I also dreamed of running to 12.85 seconds. My mobile phone password is also the same. Liu Xiang is my goal. Now before I pick up my luggage and go home
, I’m afraid I need to change my mobile phone password first.”
Judging from the starting reaction announced by the competition organizing committee, although Merritt created an amazing result, his reaction speed of 0.145 was only ranked third. South Africa's Fauri became the fastest reaction player with 0.133 seconds. His time of 13.24 seconds not only set a personal record
The best, and also broke the African record.
Liu Xiang was eating at this time.
After the Olympics, he actually didn't pay much attention to this event. In addition, after the Olympics, everyone's condition generally declined.
It will also be difficult to get good grades.
But at this time.
He suddenly received a call from his Xiangzhi team.
I thought I was negotiating with him about some advertising contract.
Little did he know that as soon as he picked up the phone, he heard news that shocked him——
Brother Xiang.
Merritt.
Merritt, he broke your world record.
Liu Xiang was in a daze.
It's not that he thinks his records won't be broken. With Merritt's condition, he thinks he has a chance to hit the world record.
But I didn't expect it to be so soon.
And it will appear after the Olympics.
"How much did you run?" Liu Xiang turned the TV channel to the sports channel, and sure enough, he soon saw the news being said on the TV channel.
It came out almost at the same time as the phone——
12 seconds 80.
He actually ran 80 in 12 seconds???
Suddenly improved the world record by 0.05 seconds?
Liu Xiang was a little confused after seeing this result.
Because to be honest, he didn't expect this kind of achievement.
He thought that even he would find it difficult to escape.
In other words, it is impossible for me to run out now.
If Merritt is in this state during this year's Olympic finals...
That may put more pressure on you.
Sun Haiping also called at this time, seemingly wanting to comfort Liu Xiang, but after the initial shock, Liu Xiang turned on the computer and found the video, played it again, and said to the phone: "Master,
He ran really perfectly."
"No wonder Xiaotian asked us to pay attention to him."
"It looks like we are really lucky."
Sun Haiping was also frightened when he heard this.
This result is terrible.
It's basically an achievement that he doesn't dare to think about now.
He also doesn't think anyone in the recent batch of athletes can come close to this result.
He originally thought Liu Xiang could maintain his 12.85 seconds for a long time.
I didn't expect it to be broken so soon.
Just like Liu Xiang said.
Fortunately he didn't show this form in the Olympics.
certainly.
In fact, they forgot all about it.
They were all shocked by Merritt's performance.
In fact, when Merritt was fighting against strong men.
Especially against players whose rhythm is extremely stable.
In fact, his record is not outstanding.
This outstanding means that it is difficult for him to perform to his level.
Therefore, this is why he basically cannot win against Liu Xiang.
The last life was even worse.
Until Liu Xiang's Achilles tendon rupture in the 2012 London Olympics, he faced all Liu Xiang's 110-meter hurdles...
Not a single victory.
Never won a game.
Including his most popular year in 2012.
Never won either.
This is why Su Shen said Liu Xiang ran away with him.
Even Merritt is in better shape.
It’s not necessarily impossible to win.
This is the charm of competitive sports.
It doesn't mean that if you are in better condition, you will definitely be able to win.
When it is possible to compete on the same field.
You will have all kinds of uncontrollable factors.
Any point.
All will affect the performance of straight projects.
Just for now.
Merritt's 12 seconds of 80 was terrible.
It made everyone a little dizzy.
"Okay, Master, I think I have to send a blessing message, otherwise I will appear too arrogant." After Liu Xiang recovered from the shock, he said something with his own Xiang-style humor, which eased the silent atmosphere.
.
"Let's talk again."
"I'm already very lucky, aren't I? Master."
"When a world record is broken, it's broken."
"Anyway, I've already won the Olympic gold medal."
"Anyway, the Olympic record is still in my hands."
"I'm not greedy. Being able to do this I think is the best reward."
"I have no regrets."
Hearing what Liu Xiang said, Sun Haiping could only nod.
Moreover, it is true to change the perspective. No matter how good your performance is, the Olympic gold medal will still belong to Liu Xiang, and he was defeated in the same competition. The lack of commission further reflects Liu Xiang's extraordinaryness.
Furthermore, for the vast majority of Chinese people.
Or is the Olympic gold medal more important?
at this point.
Sun Haiping knows better than anyone else.
So in comparison.
It would be most appropriate to win the gold medal at the London Olympics and end my career with a gold medal.
If I think too much, I am indeed a little greedy.
After listening to Liu Xiang's words, Sun Haiping's mood eased a lot, and he rarely smiled and said: "That's right. Anyway, you defeated him in the Olympic finals, and that's enough."
"We've already set world records and stuff, so it doesn't matter."
After hanging up the phone, Liu Xiang took out his tablet and prepared to post congratulatory messages on his various social platforms.
Hands on the screen.
Liu Xiang typed a sentence calmly——
12.80 seconds is so perfect! It’s unbelievable! He pushed the 110-meter hurdles into a new era! Shocked, excited, and excited! Salute to the great Merritt!
History is such a coincidence.
The words he typed here are exactly the same as what Su Shen saw in the previous life.
That's his current state of mind.
I'm afraid it's different from the last time I typed this sentence.
Now he is the Olympic champion, and he also defeated Meritou head-on.
Your mind will undoubtedly be more peaceful.
The blessing will be more thorough.
After thinking about it, Liu Xiang added a small torch pattern behind this text.
It means that the torch has been passed down.
After all, Merritt said in front of so many people that his previous password to unlock his mobile phone was 12 seconds 85.
This is the world record held by Liu Xiang.
People say that they regard him as an idol, so naturally he will reciprocate the favor.
Besides, he did win the Olympic gold medal.
Not too much mental instability.
At most, the world record was taken away, which is a bit regretful.
"Thank you Liu for your blessing! I have always regarded you as the best hurdler and my own idol!"
"I really hope you can overcome the injury and we can compete again at next year's World Championships!"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Give me a head-to-head competition and a chance to defeat you."
When Liu Xiang saw this, he smiled and typed a few words on the computer screen -
"Then I guess there's no hope for you. I've already retired."
"The last match between us is destined to be the London battle. I am destined to win the gold medal and you will be the silver medal."
Merritt:…
Angry.
But he really had no chance to confront Liu Xiang.
He might actually have some regrets.
Fortunately, this is the London Bowl.
They also presented the strongest sprint showdown in Olympic history.
Besides, after Liu Xiang retired, Merritt believed that he would still have plenty of opportunities in the future.
No one else can pose a threat to them.
Robles was also injured.
Merritt thought he was invincible.
He will definitely sweep away the competition medals in recent years.
But sometimes fate is so strange.
It's amazing that when you are at your peak, you don't know what you will encounter next.
