Chapter 1955 Chasing the world record? Surpassing physical strength is the first step
110-meter hurdles 7-hand world record in 40 years Liu Xiang 12 seconds 85 second in history——
In the final match of the 2012 IAAF Diamond League - Brussels, Belgium, London Olympic champion and American Aris Merritt won the men's 110-meter hurdles championship in 12.80 seconds, breaking the record set by Chinese player Liu Xiang in 2006.
The world record for this event is 12.85 seconds.
Exactly 40 years ago, on September 7, 1972, American athlete Milboon set the first world record in the men's 110-meter hurdles at the Munich Olympics - 13.24 seconds. This record was maintained for five years, in 1977
On August 21, Cuban Casanas ran 13.21 seconds in Sofia, Bulgaria.
In the following years, the men's 110-meter hurdles belonged to American Nehemiah, who broke the world record three times from 1979 to 1981. Especially on August 19, 1981, he ran 12.93 seconds in Zurich, Switzerland.
, becoming the first player in the history of the event to break the 13-second barrier. Eight years later, compatriot Kim Dom improved his time by 0.01 seconds at the same place.
In 1993, British Colin Jackson improved the world record by 0.01 seconds, 12 seconds 91.11 years later, Chinese trapeze artist Liu Xiang won the Athens Olympics with a time equal to this world record, and has since become a new idol of Chinese sports. In 2006
On July 11, it was Liu Xiang who ran 12.85 seconds in Lausanne, Switzerland, becoming the first Asian to break the world record in this event.
Six years later, American Merritt came out of the blue. He has been running well for a year and won the runner-up in the Olympics. This year, he improved the world record that had been sealed for four years by 0.05 seconds.
Here are the top ten results in men’s 110-meter hurdles history:

Merritt takes a calm look at Expert of the Year: He will rule for years to come!!!
…
Everyone is talking about this matter.
Especially domestic audiences.
Because what Merritt broke was Liu Xiang's world record. This made many people find it emotionally difficult to accept.
It's not that it's not generous enough.
Over the past few generations, all of us have watched Liu Xiang continue to make breakthroughs and grow up. We have all cried, laughed and been proud. Of course we don’t want this record to disappear like this.
And this year Liu Xiang also staged The Return of the King.
Defeated Merritt head-on and won the Olympic championship.
This was originally the year when he should be at his peak.
But because of this reason, it somewhat lacks the style of absolute dominance.
Don't talk about them.
Even Liu Xiang’s own team.
Didn't you feel puzzled and unbelievable when you first received this news?
Although everyone thought that the record of 12.85 would be broken sooner or later, they did not expect that it would come so soon.
But if it's broken, it's broken.
Fortunately, Liu Xiang has now won this year's Olympic championship.
It’s just that we can no longer describe him as a world record holder.
The advertisements have also been replaced with Olympic record holders, Olympic gold medals, and World Championship gold medals.
Although it is still very strong.
But there is always a trace of perfection missing.
You know it too.
Chinese people actually like the word perfection the most.
It seems like it's a pity if it's a little less.
Fortunately, Liu Xiang himself has now come out.
He even thinks that he is lucky enough to be able to basically win the championship this year.
He was reminded by Su Shen at the beginning and knew that Merritt was in good condition.
In the meantime, Merritt's mental performance and evaluation were repeatedly improved as his condition improved.
Who would have thought?
It would be so good.
It's really good, but a little too much.
The original record was reached, but now it should be broken bit by bit. After all, the closer humans are to the limit, the harder it is for you to improve.
Someone once predicted that the record for the 110-meter hurdles in the first 50 years of the 21st century may be 12.85 seconds.
If you want to run to 12.80, that will happen later.
Who knew it would appear all of a sudden.
It's a bit like Bolt.
As soon as it was born, the speed of 100 meters, which is close to the limit of human beings, was greatly improved every minute.
Look at it from this perspective.
Liu Xiang, the original world record holder, ruptured his Achilles tendon because he tried his best in the London Olympics finals.
It is basically impossible to return to your peak after a second injury.
If Liu Xiang withdraws, coupled with the fact that Robles seems to have suffered a fatal injury, and David Oliver's competition ability is not good, it will suddenly feel like... he has no opponent.
In the current state, I think he has dominated the project for several years.
That's not too much.
There was a lot of commotion in the outside world.
There is discussion everywhere about Merritt breaking the world record. On Ersha Island, Su Shen has already begun to devote himself to intense training in advance.
Because of what he wants to accomplish next year.
It's very possible that Merritt has accomplished that now.
More difficult.
And it’s much more difficult.
At the moment, this is just for the guidance of some senior internal personnel, and it has shocked many people.
Not to mention.
When the time comes, I will really tell everyone.
Men's 100 meters.
If there are really three, six or nine levels of sports, and there are really pedigree divisions, then the 100-meter dash must be the one with the highest pedigree and the most expensive one.
This is the case in any sports meeting in any country.
There is no way, because the 100-meter race is something that no one, no matter the age or gender, can't understand. It has the fewest rules and is a complete display of extreme speed.
This is the most primitive skill competition.
It is also an important basis for Europeans and Americans to differentiate between 100 meters and race.
It's because of this project.
Ancient enough.
Original enough.
The first competitive sport for mankind.
Many people think it’s just running.
In addition, the 100 meters is also the first event for Chinese athletes to participate in the modern Olympics.
The meaning is completely different.
Regardless of the reasons, the combination pushed 100 meters to a higher position.
Su Shen has already won an Olympic gold medal and an Olympic record.
So is he done?
Maybe many people think so.
But for himself.
If you can't reach this position, forget it.
Then try your best for the rest of your life.
But if it comes...
That's another story.
We have already reached this position, and it seems that we no longer think about it, and feel a little sorry that we have reached this position.
After all, you still have to try it.
This is what Su Shen told the others.
This is what I tell myself now.
This time it's not a smoke bomb.
Forget it if there is no chance.
Don’t you want to try it if you have the chance?
It won't work after all.
Hence the current conversation.
"So the purpose of your winter training this year is... to challenge Bolt's world record?" Randy said: "I have to say, this is you, Su, if it were someone else, I would have to beat him and tell him to talk.
Be realistic and don’t overthink it.”
"Haha." Su Shen smiled and said: "Why do you think the task is too difficult? This is not your style, Huntington."
"Which task was not difficult to be with you?" Randy couldn't help but roll his eyes: "If you didn't give me enough money, I wouldn't be afraid to tell you honestly, sometimes I really want to give up and leave."
"It takes several years to complete one project."
"That's good for you." Randy smiled bitterly when he said this: "There are many plans in one cycle. If taken alone, these plans can be enough for others to train for several years."
"Tell me, is it tiring to follow you?"
"This brain hasn't stopped for a day."
"According to what you flower growers say - you really don't respect the old and care for the young at all."
"We are already old men, and you are too cruel to ask us to keep up with you."
After hearing this, Su Shen still smiled and asked: "With your physique, do you think an ordinary old man can have it?"
"Besides, didn't you say that you have devoted your whole life to track and field? You haven't married a wife anyway. Since you have devoted your whole life to track and field, you have to work harder."
"Anyway, you haven't broken the world record for long jump without a vocational teacher?"
"What?" Su Shen looked at Randy and said, "You wouldn't dare if it were 100 meters?"
"Who wouldn't dare?" Randy glared immediately.
"You are looking down on me too much."
"I think back when I took him, the entire long jump world belonged to Lewis. Lewis was known as the God of the long jump, and everyone thought he was untouchable. Didn't I just beat him down?"
"It's okay if you ask others, but if you ask me, then you're asking the wrong person, Su." Randy said this with an arrogant look on his face.
This is what Su Shen wants: "In that case, why don't you help me too?"
"The God of Long Jump has already masturbated, how about we masturbate the God of Sprinting too?"
"Okay." Randy also laughed: "Anyway, masturbating to one god is also masturbating, and masturbating to two gods is okay for me. I'm just afraid that you can't, Su."
"That's Usain Bolt."
"Huntington, did you say the same thing when you challenged Lewis?" Su Shen said with confidence: "I was thousands of miles away from him, and I dared to even think about getting close to him."
"Now the gap is getting smaller and smaller."
"Why should I be afraid?"
"Let's work hard for half a year."
"During the outdoor competition this year."
"Let's shock the world again."
"Shock the world?" Randy looked at Su Shen and said, "Looking at what you mean, you have already thought about it, right?"
“I’ve already thought of next year’s title.”
"People always have dreams." Su Shen smiled and said, "What if it comes true."
"The day has finally come."
"It will definitely be exciting."
"Tell the truth." Randy asked seriously: "How sure are you?"
"I mean how sure are you that you can get close to his world record?"
Randy wants the truth.
The previous joke is a joke, but it has to be implemented in the end. You have to be down-to-earth and carry out various trainings.
It's not just a matter of words.
"Fifty percent." Su Shen said.
The answer was quite decisive.
There is no sloppiness at all.
"Fifty percent?" Randy was stunned for a moment, then said, "Isn't it a bit high?"
Randy asked because he had been training with Su Shen. Unlike the audience who just looked at the results, he needed to analyze the gap in hard power between Su Shen and Bolt under normal circumstances.
In other words, the so-called scientific wind control technology and the bonus of extreme starting are deducted. These are very important.
Because most of the time it is difficult for you to meet these conditions.
Of course it's also because of them.
I don’t know when these conditions will come together.
I don’t know that Su Shen can predict some conditions in advance and prepare for them.
therefore.
Look at Randy.
I want to challenge Bolt.
The gap between Su Shen and Su Shen, who is challenging Bolt's world record, is still quite obvious.
This is not a loss. When you just break 10, you want to break through a few more levels.
It's very difficult.
Once you reach his level, don't talk about a breakthrough.
It may be difficult to maintain it for one more year.
He has reached the top of the pyramid.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Now he is not just a cat or a dog, he has even transcended the giant level. Take a look at these rankings on the Internet and the approximate rankings given by the IAAF
bit, you can roughly guess——
If Bolt is still the god of sprinting.
After the decisive battle in London, Su Shen became a demigod.
Winning the Olympic gold medal and the Olympic 100-meter record, plus defeating Bolt head-on.
He can already bear the title of demigod.
At the back is the giant level.
It's Guy and Bob.
And because driven by the previous group of people, there are now more and more people with good grades, and even at the original super-first-class level, the good guys have specially made a half-step giant classification——
There are currently only two people at this stage.
One is Blake, and the other is Zhao Haohuan, who took the art exam in London this year at the right time and place, and with various targeted equipment, achieved a new personal high.
Even now Lao Zhao’s personal Pb.
Even more so than Blake.
In addition, the two people's 100-meter honors are almost equal.
After the Battle of London.
The situation where Blake had to overwhelm him in the 100-meter race has been reversed, and now the two of them are almost neck-and-neck.
Even because Zhao got a better personal Pb, coupled with the Diamond League, he defeated Blake head-on in the finals.
Won his first Diamond League 100-meter championship.
His popularity even has some counter-pressure tendencies.
After that, there are super first-class players.
Take the lead with Gatlin Carter's people.
It's very clear at this point.
Although it seems that Su Shen and Bolt are only one rank apart.
But the god level and the demigod level.
It's very possible that it's a world of difference.
According to Randy's estimation, the two people are probably still about two levels behind in ability.
These two levels want to make up for it.
One season of winter training is too much.
I don’t even know if I can reach a higher level.
This is why Randy now asks Su Shen if 50% is too high.
The two of them closed the door, so naturally they would not say any polite words.
If there is a gap, there is a gap.
There is no need to avoid it.
"Not high." Su Shen said: "Train well and complete the goals I proposed at the meeting. I think I will have a chance."
"At least try to tie it."
"Su, this is you." Randy shook his head after hearing this: "If it were another person, I really don't know if I would be willing to continue talking to him."
"With such a huge gap in strength, you dare to say such a thing."
"I sometimes want to refute you."
"But you've done it so many times."
"I can't refute you."
"Do you know my pain?"
"Su."
Randy was actually really confused.
Every time Su Shen said something, according to his track and field knowledge and track and field theory, he felt it was impossible.
The possibility is too slim.
Or it's only a theoretical possibility.
But what?
People just happen to be able to do it every time.
This is...
This made him really miserable.
Cognitive contradictions conflict with real contradictions.
For him to say such a disgusting sentence.
"Huntington, the gap was bigger before. I dare say that now the gap is smaller. Of course I am not afraid anymore."
Su Shen looked at Randy and said, "You know, I just know how to dream."
"Dare to dream."
"Otherwise we wouldn't be here today."
Randy nodded.
When Su Shen started training for sprinting, let alone the Chinese sprinting, it was the Asian sprinting. It was incomparable with the rest of the world and had already been thrown out by several blocks.
So what if you are number one in Asia?
Be on the side of the world's strongest.
The leftovers don’t count.
The young man in front of me grew up in this environment and single-handedly brought the entire Asian track and field to its current height.
Randy actually doesn't like to talk about the improvement of a certain industry or the improvement of a certain field because of a certain person.
But face this matter.
Facing the Asian sprint, did Su Shen single-handedly reach his current position and be able to compete with America...
He never doubted it.
"So with your great goal, where should we start?"
Randy asked.
"Physical quality." Su Shen smiled and said: "You know, it has always been physical quality."
"Only when you have good enough physical fitness can you master your skills."
"This is also a common philosophy between the two of us, isn't it?"
Randy still strongly agreed with this aspect and nodded: "If you add more weight, there will be several problems. The first is whether your body can bear it, and the second is whether your body still has enough potential to tap.
"
"You have already achieved three times the leg strength. It may not be easy to do it further. The further you go, the more difficult it will be."
"And as a sprinter, you also have to control your weight properly and cannot keep increasing, which also limits your leg strength from continuing to improve."
"If you are 90 kilograms now, and you want to triple the thrust, you need about 270 kilograms. Although sprinters do not need to squat too deep, and focus more on improving explosive power, this is not the case for ordinary people.
Achievable. Use everything you have on this.”
"On the contrary, if you weigh less, it will be easier to triple your weight. I think you should know this issue better than me."
Su Shen understood what Randy said. For example, if a lighter person wants to achieve three times the leg strength, 60 kilograms would require 180 kilograms. For example, Coleman, because he is not tall and does not weigh particularly much, can easily
It can soar to several times three points.
But if a person weighing 90 kilograms or even 100 kilograms wants to triple his legs, it will be extremely difficult. This is because the relationship between weight and strength does not grow in a smooth curve.
Both weigh three times as much.
If you want to triple the difficulty of 100 kilograms, it will be much greater than the 60 kilograms line, which requires an increase of 180.
This is why Randy is worried.
Su Shen is already very strong.
His weight is basically increasing year by year.
After gaining weight, it is not easy to maintain three times the leg strength, let alone continue to improve.
How to know.
Su Shen seemed to have anticipated this problem a long time ago.
Anticipating Randy's question, Su Shen said: "It's not difficult, and I will definitely break through triple my leg strength this year."
"Further evolution of physical fitness and strength is the first step to challenge the world record."
"Otherwise, your physical strength won't be able to keep up."
