After a night of partying.

The Osaka World Championships will continue.

Although this encouragement has given people across the country a new understanding of sprinting.

Who would have thought that the event that was least likely to win a medal would actually get the medal first.

However, some of the seed projects that everyone was confident about were “acclimated to the climate”.

Looking at the race reports of the past few days, Toyoki Yuyu frowned. He thought that this time the sprint team made a big breakthrough and it would be a "charge". Unexpectedly, looking at the results of the past few days, it was still poor. Meaning:

Meng Yan, a player from Jilin Province, advanced to the next round in the men's 400-meter hurdles qualifying competition with a time of 49.66 seconds. Shandong player Zhong Min was in the triple jump qualifying round and advanced with a score of 16.69 meters. Zhu Yanmei, Li Zhenzhu, and Jin Yuan did not perform well in the women's 3000-meter obstacle qualifying round and missed the final.

Especially Liu Qingze, the gold medal winner of the 10th National Games, who was originally a promising player, took the wrong bus before the game and got on the bus without warming up. As an OW level competition, your opponents are also masters, so it will naturally have a big impact. Let her fail in the women's 800-meter qualifying race. What’s funny is that I didn’t know that the competition organizing committee was deliberately trying to change their mentality. They actually gave Liu Qing a time of 2 minutes, 02 seconds and 11 seconds. This result was very promising, but later it was adjusted to a time of 2 minutes, 04 seconds and 35 seconds. , ranked sixth in the group and missed the rematch.

In addition, the three Chinese men's 20-kilometer race walkers, who had high hopes before the game, performed abnormally, and none of them entered the top ten.

Looking at it this way, the previous thoughts were still optimistic.

Not only that, in the high jump event on the third day, flower grower "Star of Hope" Huang Haiqiang only jumped 2.19 meters and missed the final on the evening of August 29.

Fortunately, the hurdler Huang Xiaoxiao, known as the "Female Liu Xiang", successfully advanced on the morning of the third day and stabilized the decline. In the preliminaries of the women's 400-meter hurdles at the Osaka World Athletics Championships, she ranked first in the group with a time of 55.64 seconds and entered the semi-finals.

As an OW major, Yu Toyoki basically attends a post-game press conference every day.

If he was enjoying great success a few days ago, Su Shen led the Huazhong Dash team to third, sixth and seventh place, which is definitely a sensational result. So now, Yu Toyoki's expression has completely lost his joy, because more than half of the advantageous items prepared this time have been wiped out.

The key point is that if you compare your own level with the best results in the country, then forget it, your skills are inferior to others, and you will be convinced.

But the key is... almost all the results are far worse than when they were in China. It is obvious that they are not adapted to the competition, and there is a huge decline in performance.

This needs to be discussed carefully and carefully reviewed.

"In the first two days, the Huahuajia track and field team performed well except for the sprint team, but the rest of the overall performance was average. The team members performed less than ideally. At present, our team members also need to improve their ability to adapt to the weather."

"In fact, many of our players now have the strength to pass the preliminaries or qualifying rounds, or even enter the top eight, but the biggest problem they face...is that they cannot perform well in the competition."

This passage by Toyoki Isamu is extremely pertinent, pointing out both objective and subjective issues.

Especially in terms of psychology, Yu Toyoki cited Su Shen’s so-called “scientific sports psychology construction” for the first time, saying: “In terms of psychology, we young players are still at a disadvantage, especially in this fierce competition. , in a game with so many strong players, solving this problem will not happen overnight. It still takes a process to reach the level where Liu Xiang and Su Shen can become more motivated the more they encounter strong players."

"This shows that strength alone is not enough."

"We also need to have a good mentality and stable performance. This is a crucial link for us to achieve a breakthrough."

"Many players in our team have performed well in domestic or Asian competitions. However, once they step onto the "stage" of the world competition, their mentality changes, resulting in unstable technical performance. This will become the future of Chinese track and field. Focus on solving the problem.”

"In the future, we are considering not only increasing the number of overseas competitions, but also arming ourselves with advanced sports psychology to strive to make athletes more psychologically breakthrough."

However, the situation when being besieged by reporters was much better than in the original world line.

Because on the original timeline, right now, our Flower Planter track and field team still has no results on the medal list.

Now, at least there is a 100-meter medal that shocked the world.

This alone made the difficulty that Yu Toyoki found much better than in the original world line.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the women's 100m semifinals began.

This is also the best shot in the history of the Huahuajia women's team.

When the shot went up, everyone came over to cheer Chen Juan. Yuan Guoqiang also told Chen Juan not to be nervous. She had completed the task and just ran as hard as she could with this shot.

Even Su Shen didn't have many ways to help her.

After all, in the semi-finals, the difficulty suddenly increased a lot.

In the rematch, he still needs to fight hard to advance to the semifinals. In the semifinals, even if Su Shen is really "possessed by Zhuge Liang", he has no chance of winning. Because the gap in hard power, visible to the naked eye, is really huge.

Such a huge gap cannot be filled with so-called "tactics".

Not to mention that these two spears were against the wind. Even if it was against the wind, they would not have much effect. Chen Juan's physical strength was reaching its limit.

The last shot is not an easy entry.

Although it was a small tailwind, Chen Juan tried her best.

In the semi-finals, Su Shen knew that Chen Juan could no longer keep up. It would be useless to these people even if she could beat the PB score of the previous shot again. Because of this shot, no matter which group they are in the semi-finals, they are the players who can easily open 11.20s on the promotion list.

Yes, regardless of big Q or small Q, whether it is calculating the promotion of four people or anything else, the worst can open 11.20s.

Or force the gun against the wind.

This kind of hard power is really too much, and Chen Juan doesn't have much to do.

0.6M/S ran downwind to 11.26s. Even if it was a small headwind, it was too difficult to run again. In fact, being able to open 11.30s was quite good.

Especially the second group that Chen Juan was in, Su Shen could tell at a glance that Veronica Campbell Brown, Kristen Allen, Kim Givat, Carmelita Jeter, Mechel... Lewis, etc... Chen Juan can't beat any of these names now.

In fact, even the last place, Chen Juan could not win.

Because the last Su Shen remembers that she should be the Bahamian veteran, the fierce woman who has won the Olympic gold medal and the World Championship gold medal, Debbie Ferguson McKenzie. Although she is now in her thirties, she is still very powerful. She once broke 11 seconds in 6 years of her career. Even in 2009, she could break 11 seconds.

It was before this World Championships that she suffered a serious injury, which led to her unsatisfactory final results.

Otherwise, she is actually a strong contender for the title.

Bang————————————————————

After the game started, it was pretty much what Su Shen expected. Chen Juan had never taken the lead since the start.

I fell far behind in the first thirty meters.

The response is actually quite good, reaching 0.158s, which is the current standard response time for domestic male athletes to start.

But unfortunately, the gap in hard power is too big.

As soon as the competition started, Chen Juan understood why so many short-handed masters in the country had never even made it to the semi-finals. It was because... in the semi-finals, the results of these people, even if they were at the bottom, were higher than You are much stronger.

"At the beginning of the game, Chen Juan performed well in the first ten meters. Let's see if she can hold on."

"Speed ​​up and catch up."

"Chen Juan's advantage lies in the second half."

There was no problem, but the problem was that in the later stages, even if Chen Juan drove the speed to the maximum, she still found...

Not to mention overtaking to the front, even Debbie Ferguson McKenzie, who was running at the end, couldn't catch up.

Even after the speedy liberation, Chen Juan had already run what she thought was the fastest, but still...

Can't catch up.

Can't even catch up with the last one.

The opponent in the last shot, Sally Pearson, is also very good in the 100 meters, but she is mainly a hurdler, and her dominance is still in the hurdles. The 100 meters is just a toy.

But compared with Debbie Ferguson McKenzie, a true 100-meter master, it is still far behind.

Stability is not on the same level either.

In the last thirty meters, Chen Juan had completely realized that she could not surpass anyone in this group.

Therefore, what Su Shen told him before she came on stage——

In this game, you just have to compete with yourself.

If you have to say it, keep up with the front, grit your teeth and keep up, that's enough.

Chen Juan suddenly understood.

The meaning of Su Shen's painting is actually...

She gritted her teeth and closely followed the famous Bahamian player in the adjacent lane, Debbie Ferguson McKenzie.

At its thickest, her muscles and body were almost stiff.

But he still gritted his teeth and held on.

Hold on to Debbie Ferguson McKenzie in front.

This is a common sprinting technique.

If you just want to run better, then choose someone who is stronger than yourself and let him "run with you."

It is undoubtedly a good idea.

Su Shen himself was interviewed in 2015. He originally wanted to choose to run with Bolt in the semi-finals, and wanted the latter to lead him to a good result. As a result, Bolt was shaken by him and became careless. Without dodging, he had no choice but to follow the other person next to him.

This is actually true.

It's a great opportunity.

Su Shen's performance back then was already almost unbeatable in the country, and no one could give him enough threats and stimulation.

So it’s difficult to have someone take care of you.

You can only seek "big bosses to guide you" in the international arena.

Although Chen Juan is in the women's group right now, and although she is not ranked overseas, there is one thing about her and Su Shen that is similar.

That is, she now has basically no opponents in the country.

Especially after Qin Wangping, Chen Lisa, etc. all declined due to injuries, it was impossible for anyone to threaten her. As a result, she now wants to be led by others to "take off" and break through herself. Apart from the possibility of playing in the top Asian competitions, the rest can only be in the international competitions.

After getting rid of the mentality of wanting to advance and returning to reality, Chen Juan had only one thought left in her mind, and that was——

Follow her.

Follow her closely.

Don't relax even if you die.

Chen Juan finally stretched to the limit and her face changed, but her feet and body were still moving, with no intention of stopping.

It was Debbie Ferguson Mackenzie who was biting the neighbor.

No matter what, he "won't let go".

"Chen Juan, speed up, speed up, add it up." Although Yang Jian and the others were in the live broadcast room, cheering Chen Juan crazy, the gap in rank was still too big, and in the end, they were not able to catch up with anyone.

Crossed the finish line in eighth place in the group.

There is no doubt that this result will make him miss the finals.

After Chen Juan finished running, she felt numb all over, especially her feet. She felt like she was no longer herself for a moment.

There was even a faint feeling of swelling and pain.

The final score is:

Veronica Campbell Brown opened for 11 seconds, 10.99s, and opened ten against the wind, which is something that even Asia can't even think of.

Besides Li Xuemei, who dares to challenge this kind of result?

Qin Wangping was even short of his peak.

Christine Allen, 11.04s.

Kim Givat, 11.06s.

Carmelita Jeter, 11.08s.

Mechelle Lewis, 11.16s.

Yevgenia Polyakova, 11.16s.

Debbie Ferguson McKenzie, 11.25s.

Chen Juan, 11.27s.

Two-thirds of the way down, he was in last place and ended his first World Championship trip at the bottom.

I drove 11.30s against a small headwind, and it was only 0.01s away from the 11.26s I ran with the wind in 0.6s. Even the hard power was more than half a grade, which was another breakthrough. The hard power of this shot may have reached around 11.26s.

This kind of strength has no solution in China and is getting closer and closer to the top level in Asia.

But if you lose, you lose. When you see the results, you are actually in last place, and no one even ran past.

Chen Juan's willpower, which she had endured for so long, finally reached its limit, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

When he came down, he broke out all of a sudden, and started sobbing beside Su Shen and Zhao Haohuan.

Su Shen and Zhao Haohuan looked at this little junior sister who was being beaten as soon as she went abroad. Although the gap was constantly narrowing, this time, no one came past the last place. It was probably the first time in her career.

The little girl is only 17 and a half years old and is already very strong. She can't ask for more.

The two comforted Chen Juan, and even Zhao Haohuan couldn't help but say a few more words. While the two blocked Chen Juan's "embarrassing figure" with their bodies, they further showed the friendship of the "small team".

Tianchao Sports Channel, after seeing the broadcast footage, Yang Jian immediately said: "The little girl has performed very well. She played very tough in the competition and made history. Even being last in the semi-finals did not affect her ability to grow flowers at all." contribution to the history of athletics."

"I'm very optimistic about her." Li Tao looked at Chen Juan and said: "Crying is nothing. Many male athletes have shed tears on the field. This shows that she has a strong desire to win and a sense of honor and disgrace. This is definitely not a problem for an athlete. What a bad thing."

"And if you look at her results in these few shots, they are almost all refreshing her own PB."

"Without performing abnormally and even making progress in the competition, I think she has done the best she can."

Su Shen comforted her, and accidentally saw that Chen Juan's ankle seemed to be... swollen.

He immediately squatted down and took a look. He suddenly thought of something and immediately asked the professional team doctor to come over. Now that the "composite team" has been set up, these things have more professional people to do it. Su Shen does everything personally.

"It's just that I ran too hard and my body couldn't bear it." The team doctor checked and immediately came to the conclusion: "It's somewhat similar to the shot you took in Birmingham. If you continuously fire extreme shots with high intensity, this will inevitably happen. You will recover after a few days of rest.”

After hearing this, Su Shen breathed a sigh of relief, but he also turned his head to look at Chen Juan, who was still in bloom, and said seriously: "Sister Juan, it doesn't matter if you lose the game, you can come again, but if you feel uncomfortable, you can What should be done?”

After hearing this, Chen Juan suddenly thought of something, curled her lips, and her voice suddenly became softer, saying: "I should report my physical condition to the coach and team doctor in time. I'm sorry, Brother Xiaotian."

"Xiao Tian, ​​forget it this time. This is also the first time for Sister Juan to compete in OW. I didn't pay attention to it for a while. Just remember it next time." Zhao Haohuan rarely comes out to help. Normally he is very cold, but for He also takes great care of Chen Juan, a junior sister who came to Xiangshan Sports School together. After saying that, he also faced Chen Juan, giving him a carrot and a stick, and said: "You too, Xiaotian made this rule for the benefit of our sports career. You should have seen what happened to me before and how long it took me. You just recovered, you can’t do it again next time, you know.”

"Yes." Chen Juan nodded obediently, but with this little episode, her sadness at finishing last was much lessened.

In the women's 100-meter final at 2 hours old, Veronica Campbell Brown won the championship, while American players Lauren Williams and Carmelita Jeter ranked second and third respectively.

The next day's men's 200m, Hukai still passed the 200m preliminaries, but when it came to the 200m semi-finals, there was no way to enter. In the 100-meter final, in order to achieve a good result, he broke himself and rushed to the limit with all his strength.

In fact, he has indeed broken through the upper limit in terms of hard power.

However, such a price also exists.

That is, in the 200-meter race, two shots a day is a bit too strenuous.

Coupled with the rematch, the competition in the OW arena is extremely cruel. In the rematch alone, you actually need to output 20.40~20.50 seconds of strength to guarantee the last place in the group. Hu Kai's shot, because his body had not recovered on the second day, and the two shots were also consumed, he only ran 20.55 seconds in the rematch. In his group, he ranked fifth, and he was unfortunately eliminated.

The final champion of the 200 meters was no different from what he remembered. This year was the "Year of Guy", so it was naturally Guy's time to perform. He even defeated Usain Bolt and won the championship.

Hu Kai was also very sorry, but knew that he had done his best.

Even if he gritted his teeth with all his strength and his body had not yet recovered, he still showed the strength that he did not have in Doha last year, let alone a breakthrough.

but.

Compared with 200 meters, it is extremely cost-effective to be able to stand on the final stage in 100 meters.

After all, if you have to choose between 200 meters and 100 meters.

Whether it is Hu Kai himself or Yuan Guoqiang and Feng Shuyong, they will all suggest that they should achieve results in the 100 meters now.

Hu Kai is more mature. If he loses, he loses. After the game, he directly said that his body has not recovered yet + his strength is insufficient.

Just tell the truth.

At present, he is the only one who can run the 200 meters. Everyone knows that he stood on the final stage at the 100 meters.

It is enough to give Asians and flower growers a good reputation, so it is understandable that they did not perform well in the 200 meters.

Except for some 500,000 people and extremists, they basically didn't say much. Yong Feng Shuyong and Yu Weili came over to "visit the class" in the evening. Tell Hu Kai not to put any pressure on him. He has performed well enough. What he needs to do now is to rest well and then build up strength for the 4X100m relay race in a few days.

There is even an illusion above that there will definitely be another chance to win a brand in this competition.

And it's still very promising.

The reason is that the first-place French team in the last World Championships was 38.08s.

Second place was only 38.10s.

The third place was only 38.27s.

Our flower growers ran a record breaking Asian record of 38.20s in Doha, which is already very impressive. It should not be a big problem to get a brand.

But this is... making an empiricist error.

After all, this is an OW competition, and the level is much higher than the previous Athens World Cup track and field competition.

Although we represented the Asian team at the World Cup in Athens last year, we defeated the European team and won the silver medal.

But to be honest, that was because the level of the other teams at that time was not top-notch.

The European team is 38.45s.

We ran 38.40s, so it’s no exaggeration to win a medal.

But what is the level of the OW competition?

That session was actually due to the lack of competition in Jamaica and the DNF of the American team. Otherwise, if you want to get a brand, you must at least exceed 38.10s.

It is two levels higher than the new Asian record set by the flower grower in Doha.

Coupled with the 38.20s of the Athens Olympics, you can also take the brand, which will give people an "illusion".

It seems that keeping 38.20s is enough, and the brand is stable.

But only Su Shen knows...

Times are moving forward.

In recent years, all teams have begun to enter a period of major technological reform. This time in Osaka in 2007, it was actually the arrival of a concentrated outbreak period.

This time at the World Championships, don’t say you can get a card by maintaining 38.20s. In fact, with a score of 38.20s, you won’t be able to enter the top five.

Not even as good as the Japanese relay team.

Because regardless of this timeline or the historical timeline, Japan conducted winter training this year and carried out another technical reform. Although their handover became more risky, the handover time became less.

As long as the handover is successful and the baton is not dropped with good luck, then... the performance will be greatly improved.

Even their team has already said something——

They will definitely defeat the Flower Planters relay team in this World Championships and in the hearts of the people at home.

Reclaim the Asian relay record and then go for the gold medal.

When these words came out, the Flower Planters Track and Field Team, which won the Asian record and Asian championship just last year, certainly found it funny.

I thought that the Japanese team was just talking nonsense, but in fact...

It's much more than that.

It's not that simple.

Only Su Shen knew that the Japanese team was really prepared for the relay this time.

Even if it weren't for the breakthroughs in relay technology around the world, their results would be enough in the last World Championships and the last Olympic Games——

Get the gold medal.

Yes, you read that right, and I typed it right.

It's a gold medal.

Not to mention, except for Japan, all other strong teams have begun to rise.

The relay race a few days later was far less optimistic than everyone imagined.

PS: This year’s Japanese team is very strong. To be honest, with 38.03s, they improved the Asian record and the original timeline by 0.26s in one go.

There are more than five levels.

Moreover, after achieving this result, which allowed me to win the Olympics and World Championships before, I actually couldn't even make it into the top four.

This year's relay has made great progress all over the world.
