Magic City, University Stadium.
The venue that was supposed to be bustling now felt a little disappointed and regretful. This was because Liu Xiang failed to defeat his opponent and lost to Robles. He didn't even get the second place. In the end, I only ran 13.21s.
This achievement is something that many people did not expect.
Because everyone’s original thought was that even if Liu Xiang couldn’t get first place, then there would be no problem with second place. It would be fine.
After all, he is the winner of the Ninth Miracle at the World Championships, and is currently ranked first in the world in this event.
However, there are not so many absolute things in competitive sports.
Liu Xiang has been too tired recently. In fact, Osaka has begun to show signs of qualifying, but he still relied on strong willpower and physical fitness to survive. But later on, the situation changed drastically...
There are limits to willpower.
You must remember this.
There is no unlimited willpower.
That's the movie and.
When the willpower can no longer hold on, that is when the body begins to gradually disintegrate.
This time at the start, Liu Xiang originally had an advantage in the front. Logically speaking, with Liu Xiang's ability as the strongest late-race competitor in the world, it shouldn't be that difficult to win.
But now, he was overtaken in the later stages.
Not just one person.
Instead, he was surpassed by all the wolves.
Therefore, it is not that Robles ran well before, but that Liu Xiang's shot was too poor and gave the opponent a chance.
13.21s is basically at the level of peak Shi Dongpeng, which is definitely not enough in a world war.
After all, Robles only ran for 13.01 seconds and did not open the 13 seconds. Liu Xiang started well and should have had a chance. Unfortunately, he "lost speed" in the later stages. This is actually a very typical question, if you have opened your heavenly eye, but unfortunately, ordinary people have not opened their heavenly eye.
The same goes for Liu Xiang and the others.
Including this shot, Alan Houston ran even worse, only 13.23 seconds, which is naturally understandable.
Feel.
Even Liu Xiang, the world's top flyer, sometimes "takes a nap".
There is no problem with this, because Liu Xiang's coaching team actually said the same thing, and at this time they are still emphasizing that the prediction of how much Liu Xiang can run in the future and what the next world record will be is really inappropriate. Liu Xiang himself expressed this very directly——
"I haven't been practicing well recently. I feel like the hurdles are floating on the court, but I'm not very tired after running."
"Before preparing for this competition, I didn't wear spikes for two weeks."
"This is my current state. It's pretty good to be able to run like this!"
Compared with the team, Liu Xiang gave a more direct answer, and also revealed several key points, such as "I haven't practiced well recently", "I haven't worn spikes in two weeks" and "This is my current state."
So, why is this happening?
This is hard to say.
There are probably many reasons.
Regarding Liu Xiang's defeat in the golden match, I am a bit "dumb" now, because everyone is used to Liu Xiang winning.
I am used to Liu Xiang being the world champion.
I'm used to Liu Xiang's reversal.
So suddenly, losing so "miserably" and only getting a bronze medal still made many people unable to accept the situation.
Only Liu Xiang himself could see clearly.
Facing Liu Xiang's defeat, Su Shen and the others, who were preparing to play, were naturally asked why.
Su Shen didn't say much else, only one sentence, which sounded like he was following Liu Xiang's words and continued to answer——
"Victory and defeat are common matters in military affairs, and it is impossible to win forever."
"Now I think what Brother Xiang needs most is not training, but rest."
Yes, many people think that Liu Xiang has not trained much in the past few weeks because he is lazy, but in fact, how is that possible?
Liu Xiang's personality is not a lazy one. It can only be said that after winning the World Championships, he was entangled in more worldly things.
Can't get away.
The contract worth over one billion yuan has been signed long ago. It does not mean that you can step down if you want to.
The only thing Su Shen can do now is to perform well and achieve better results in the upcoming men's 100-meter competition. As a result, the audience at the Magic University Stadium felt no regrets and felt like they had watched a victory.
In other words, for Liu Xiang now, a bronze medal is equivalent to failure.
Generally speaking, this kind of thing has never happened to former track and field athletes.
Su Shen knew that if he hadn't reopened, it would have been so popular in 2007, and sooner or later he would have to follow the same old path.
But fortunately, he firmly grasped his destiny from the beginning.
Let him not be easily influenced by capital.
The scene of the 100-meter race.
Because this golden match is a one-shot game, there is no need for everyone to consider the issue of physical fitness and multiple shots for this shot.
However, because Guy is present, no one thinks that Su Shen and the others can win.
Because Guy ran 9.80+ against the wind, which is really impressive.
9.80+, this segmented data is almost unimaginable in China right now.
Don't blame these people for thinking less of you without the support of experience.
…
"Viewers, the competition that is about to start is the men's 100-meter race." Yang Jian's voice came out on the Tianchao Sports Channel.
Obviously, Liu Xiang's previous defeat had reduced his momentum by half, and his roar dropped several levels.
"In the 100-meter race, I hope our athletes can work hard and give full play to their strengths."
"That's right. You must perform well. Although it is not easy to win the gold medal in this game, you still have a chance to win the medal." Da Liuyang appeared in the commentator's seat and said: "Su Shen and the others are in very hot condition. The blockbuster success of the World Championships is still fresh in people’s minds.”
"But we cannot deny the power of Tyson Gay." Da Liuyang said: "Guy won three gold medals at the World Championships, which proves that this era is already Gay's era, and he has no phobia of big competitions. It’s still a little difficult for today’s flower growers to beat him.”
"However, we still have the strength to compete for medals." Da Liuyang said: "I think if we can win a medal in this game, it will be a victory at home."
"Da Liuyang is right. In the 100-meter race, except for Guy, who is difficult to beat, the others still have a chance." Yang Jian also slowly regained his energy and said: "Su Shen's strength, He has proven in Osaka that he is not a weakling, he is also a competition-type athlete, and he has the opportunity to compete with European and American athletes."
"Defining a medal may also be the most appropriate competitive goal."
Collegiate stadium.
Several people briefly greeted Su Shen, which made both Lao Yi feel...
Brother Tim, you are so talented.
And Su Shen knew that if he hadn't won an OW medal, if he hadn't opened it for ten seconds, then he would never have received this kind of respect. Omega athletes are more snobby than you think. When you are not good, let alone people taking the initiative to say hello to you. If you say hello to others and they can take care of you, that is considered good.
Su Shen also waved his hand in response. Guy turned around and saw Su Shen coming, and nodded towards him.
This is definitely an acknowledgment of Su Shen's strength.
At least he was surprised by Su Shen's strength in some aspects, which exceeded the stereotype of yellow people in his mind.
Interestingly, Nesta Carter, the starting machine of Jamaica, did not participate in the World Championships in Osaka last time. This time he finally "caught" Su Shen and immediately said: "Su, let us compete at the starting line. Win or lose!”
"I will go back this time and improve again. I will definitely beat you this time!"
Huh.
This guy Carter really made Su Shen a little bit dumbfounded.
Everyone was clearly competing for 100 meters, but why did he act like he was starting from a competition?
No wonder it is called "Jamaica Starting Machine", it is really not built.
This brain.
axis.
However, in the face of a challenge, it is still necessary to start the challenge. Now Su Shen is not rejecting anyone who comes, and does not show weakness at all. He just opens his mouth and says——
"Okay, then let me see if your progress is as exaggerated as you said."
"Okay! This time I must let you know that I am the activation superman, and I am the ten-meter war god!"
Su Shen:......
Ten-meter God of War?
To be honest, this is not an honorable title. If you like it, just take it.
In fact, I don't care.
After walking out of the inspection area and putting up their number plates, Su Shen and the other nine people all appeared on the track.
Seeing Su Shen come out, the atmosphere at the scene was obviously more lively.
Although Su Shen's popularity cannot catch up with Liu Xiang's, Tai is actually the second best in track and field in the country.
It is normal for everyone to have expectations for him.
It's a pity that I don't have the same strength as Liu Xiang to win gold.
But think about it, this is a 100-meter run, and everyone feels relieved.
Because this is the purest physical duel event, Asians are the only ones in history who can reach this level.
Couldn't ask for more.
"Let's take a look at the lanes. The Jamaican player, Williams Christopher, is in the first lane."
"The second track is our country's athlete, this time the young athlete Lao Yi takes the place of glasses man Hu Kai. Lao Yi won a silver medal in the relay at the World Championships, and he ran the first leg of the flower grower's relay team."
Lao Yi pretended to be very powerful and waved his hands left and right. Su Shen told him that he should show his momentum before the game, Lao Yi always remembered it. Even if he made these actions, he had rehearsed them many times in the mirror in advance. In fact...
It's still a bit "not smooth enough".
But Lao Yi has an extremely simple temperament, which makes him a little "cute" when he does this.
It resonated with many people.
Hearing the cheers inside the TV, Zhou Bing outside the TV secretly shouted that it was unfair——
Why didn’t my opening move of Zhou Style Tai Chi get cheers from so many people?
Why is it that no one laughs at his actions, which seem even stupider than his own?
Shady!
Absolutely shady!
My movements must definitely look better and be more handsome!
"The third one is the Jamaican player, Nesta Carter." Yang Jian said: "This player Nesta Carter has played against Su Shen and the others before. His characteristic is that he starts very quickly. Many players have competed with him. They all said that it was easy to be disrupted by his start-up rhythm."
Carter also raised his hands to the audience, with a small body and a lot of energy.
He is full of confidence in his improvement.
"The fourth way——"
Yang Jian suddenly raised his voice, and the on-site commentary seemed to also raise his voice, because you had begun to feel the volume in the TV starting to boil.
"Flower Planter——"
"World Championship 100m medal, the only Asian record holder in Asia to break ten seconds and 100m."
“Su————————God!!!”
In other words, having the ow medal is the card, and everyone started shouting for his appearance.
This is the pride and pride of Su Shen as a compatriot.
It is also the respect of the second person in the track and field circle as a flower grower.
At this volume, in the words of Zhang Quan next to Yuan Guoqiang -
This was the second-most cheering I heard today, second only to Liu Xiang.
That's right.
This is Su Shen's current position in China.
At the age of 18, I got this position, I don’t know how many years ahead of schedule.
You must know that Su Shen was able to achieve this level of strength when he was around 30 years old.
Far from being as young as he is now.
Su Shen stretched out his hand to face the audience. This time, he pointed his index finger at the sky, then retracted it and crossed his chest.
It looks similar to the usual stroke across the chest, but in fact, careful people will find that Su Shen has increased the movement of pointing to the sky.
This is because……
Su Shen didn't just do it to get a medal today.
What he wants to do is...
…
"Fifth lane, American player, winner of three gold medals in the World Championships!"
"Tyson————Guy!!!"
Guy is next to Su Shen. You can say that this is a deliberate arrangement. You can also say that this is the card for the three gold medals in the World Championships.
After winning three gold medals at the World Championships, this year has actually become the "Year of Guy".
There is nothing to say.
This fact cannot be denied.
But Guy's current state is very strange. He drinks less water today, and Dandao seems to have forgotten to adjust.
The whole person seems to have a... temperament that is out of state.
As for why, it's because Tyson Gay basically didn't train well after the World Championships.
A large number of commercial activities and entertainment activities occupied his main life.
This is also the reason why his current state is so "abnormal".
It seems that, let alone Liu Xiang, even Guy will not run well if you don't train well.
Status declined significantly.
Therefore, at this time, if Asafa Powell did not avoid the battle, with his physical condition that only broke the world record half a month ago, it would not be a problem at all to defeat Guy.
Unfortunately... there is no if.
Asafa Powell just listened to the words of his team and agent and gave up the good opportunity to crush Gayson Gay.
Instead, it gave me an excuse to not dare to confront Guy head-on.
Therefore, team operations may not always be reliable sometimes.
The key question is to make up your own mind.
However, Powell lacks this temperament and ability.
That's why his historical status is so embarrassing.
He has the most number of ten-breaks. Unfortunately, in terms of honors, he does not have a single individual gold medal in the OW competition.
Even Blake, a person with a very short peak, has it. Therefore, Powell is really a "wonder in the industry."
Generally speaking, athletes who have reached this point have strong self-awareness and self-determination.
Powell is the only exception.
So since Powell isn't coming, then...
Su Shen was not prepared to be polite.
He wanted to do it in front of the people of Magic City.
At the doorstep.
Complete the feat of defeating the first person in the 100 meters this year.
Let sprinters across the country know.
Even the Three Golden Kings of OW are not insurmountable or invincible existences.
ps: I'm sorry, Xiao Zi's test today is still not clear, which makes me very irritated. Even because I insist on exercising, it's a bit serious. I'm so depressed... Well, it looks like I really need to rest for a while. Be honest and let your body "rust" first. Woohoo.
