"Liu Xiang won the championship!"
"He became the second hurdler after American Foster and Alan Houston to win the World Championships!"
"If we can do it again, we will equal Foster's triple crown!!!!!!!"
"This championship came too suddenly. Liu Xiang proved himself. He proved that as long as he is still on the stage of competition, he is a force that cannot be ignored!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" !”
The whole country was boiling.
Defending the title successfully is not an easy task. This is actually quite difficult based on the World Championships.
There are only two people in history who have done it, both Americans. Liu Xiang is the first non-American to do it.
And there's a good chance he'll do it again.
Daegu is a place where miracles take place.
Once successful, it will be three consecutive championships, then even Alan Johnson will be unable to suppress him in this game. The dominance of short span will be improved again by Liu Xiang.
After all, Foster was born in the 1980s. At that time, the economic level of the world was much different. The sports science and technology system of the United States was outstanding, and the current three consecutive championships are obviously much more dominant.
But Daegu, everyone knows it after seeing it.
It can be regarded as one of the biggest regrets in Liu Xiang's career.
You want to use your strength to win the gold medal, but others don't want to.
It was really a shame to lose the gold medal after being pulled twice, even though I clearly had the advantage in the end.
Although for many professionals, they know that the World Championship champion in 13.07s is not actually that "excellent".
But there is a saying that goes well.
It all depends on the support of peers.
Who said the short span level of this session is only this level? Can you believe that the original first place was only 13.14s?
Even in the entire history of the 110 hurdles at the World Championships, there have only been three times where the results were lower than this, and most of them were concentrated in the early 1980s. But times make heroes, and when an opportunity comes, you just have to seize it.
13.07s, tailwind 0.1M/S, not very good, but Liu Xiang has already performed at his best level.
It's just that the championship is really... beyond his own imagination.
Maybe I thought that Robles and the others were absent from the finals, so they had a chance, but who knew that the final lead would be so big.
In addition to Liu Xiang who crossed the finish line in 13.07s, the second place was a player from Barbados, Ryan Brathwaite. In the end, you can see that Trammell is really old, and the speed loss in the back is too obvious. Although he is originally the type with extremely strong prospects, the speed loss in the back is not so obvious.
As a result, at the last moment, Ryan Brathwaite counterattacked and took the second position.
In fact, his condition today has been pretty good after leading Liu Xiang. However, after Liu Xiang tried to overtake him in the end, his mentality fluctuated and his rhythm was messed up. If he was messed up, he would consume more physical energy. No, the silver medal he received was also Give it to others.
It's really sad.
Ryan Brathwaite, 13.14s, second, silver.
The young man ran happily and seemed to be very satisfied with the silver medal in the World Championships, but...if he knew that he should have won the gold medal, I'm afraid he wouldn't be smiling so happily.
The key is the third place, where drama emerges.
Just when everyone was paying attention to Liu Xiang's victory in 13.07s, his dark horse appearance, and his successful defense of the title, no one noticed that in fact, "three people" suddenly appeared in third place.
Actually they are all: 13.15s.
These three people are Trammell, Trammell's teammate David Payne, and Chinese player Shi Dongpeng.
Only then did Yang Jian and the others look at it again, and immediately adjusted their mentality and said: "Chinese player Shi Dongpeng ran 13.15 seconds!"
"This is his new PB."
"And in this year's environment, it's possible for Oishi to win a medal, isn't it?"
"We still have to look at the thousandth percentile score."
Yang Jian slightly pinched the index finger and thumb of his right hand and said, "Looking at the slow-motion pressure line, I really can't see any problems. I can't tell who is in front and who is behind."
Li Tao also stared at it for a long time and said, "If it's not a neighbor, it's really not easy to judge."
"We can only wait for the results of the final high-speed camera analysis."
Trammell, 13.145s.
Shi Dongpeng, 13.146s
David Payne, 13.148s.
"It's just a thousandth of a second off. Oh, big stone. What a pity." Yang Jian saw the result, slapped his thigh and sighed loudly.
"It's a pity, but this shot of Dashi showed the spirit of our track and field team, and also ran my best result. If I lose, I am worthy of myself." Hu Kai still understands the mentality of athletes very well. , if you don’t perform well and lose, it will indeed feel unbearable, but if you still lose despite performing at your best, you won’t actually be so depressed inside.
"What do you actually say about Dashi, an athlete..." Li Tao actually wanted to say that Dashi was a little unlucky at first, but after thinking about it, he still used data to speak: "I remember that he was almost every time, and was blocked from the finals of the competition five times. Outside the door, I was ninth all five times, with a difference of only 0.01 seconds. Unexpectedly, this time it was only a thousandth of a second difference. Alas, how can I put it, I can only say that time is destiny."
"If that's the case, then it's really..." Hu Kai didn't say the words "too unlucky" and could only shake his head with regret.
Shi Dongpeng looked at the results and gasped for air. When he realized that he was one thousandth of a second short of the bronze medal, he felt dazed for a moment.
Then a while later.
I don't know what I was thinking of, but I breathed a sigh of relief.
In this game, he tried his best and passed the hurdles smoothly. It may be easy for Liu Xiang not to hit the hurdles, but it is not easy for him. Even for many famous players in the world, it is not easy. not easy. But in this game, he didn't hit any of them, and he was still under the pressure of the finals.
The performance of this shot, to be honest, if you give him another ten times, he may not be able to escape again.
So, what else can be said.
At least it proved that I was only one thousandth of a second away from a World Championship medal, right?
The sixth place is William Sharman from Kitty Eagle Country, with a time of 13.35s.
The seventh place is Czech star Peter Svoboda with a time of 13.51s.
The eighth place is Xie Wenjun. It may be because he has not recovered in the semi-finals and his physical strength has not adapted to the OW competition. It may also be that he is a little nervous compared to the OW finals for the first time. Xie Wenjun did not perform particularly well in this shot, only 13.57 seconds.
But for himself, there is nothing to be dissatisfied with.
He thought he had done what he could do.
This ranking is well deserved.
Let them understand how cruel the stage of the world's top competitions is, how it works, and how it is different from domestic competitions.
During the interview, Liu Xiang was immediately surrounded by countless media.
This made Liu Xiang, who had not been surrounded by people like this for a long time, really not used to it.
But fortunately, after hitting rock bottom and getting up again, his mind and mentality will undergo a huge change.
Just like Zhao Haohuan when Su Shen led him to change his destiny against the will of heaven.
"Have you given it your all? Or do you still have reservations?" "Douzina" will not be absent from such occasions.
Moreover, on China Sports Channel, domestic athletes are always interviewed in the mixed zone in the first position.
But when Sister Na usually asks questions to Liu Xiang, you will find that there are really very few excessive questions.
This is a big difference.
It seems that business has suddenly returned to normal levels.
Apart from occasionally asking "what's the weather like today?", it's nothing, right?
Pretty good.
How many people are envious.
"I'm already going all out." Liu Xiang was panting a little. He hadn't run so excitedly and fast for a long time.
Don’t forget, he is also a competition-type player. Naturally, the bigger the stage, the more “combat factor” he has.
"I didn't expect the level of the sprint final to be like this. I'm very happy to win the championship."
The rest of the people participating in this game:...
But when you think about Liu Xiang being the world record holder, and then think about Liu Xiang's performance in previous competitions, it seems that what they said is not wrong.
"This is your first defending champion in the World Championships! It is also the first gold medal for our flower growers so far. You have proved that Liu Xiang is still Liu Xiang and is still the number one in the world." After Sister Na finished speaking, Liu Xiang said half-jokingly : "The main reason is that Robles and the others didn't meet in the final this time, otherwise it wouldn't have been so easy. But as the world's No. 1, there is still a gap in my strength, and I have to continue to work hard to recover."
This is the king. When faced with the gap, the word used is "recovery" instead of improvement.
It was really hard to see Xie Wenjun looking like a little fanboy next to him.
“Any other game plans this year?”
"No, the amount of competition this year will be relatively small. This World Championship is the last competition, and then I will rest for a while and prepare for winter training."
"Su Shen said that you can win the gold medal, does it also give you a certain degree of motivation?"
Hearing Su Shen's name, Liu Xiang had a smile on his face and said: "Xiao Tian, hahaha, sure, but you also know that as long as Bolt is there in the 100 meters, there is basically no way to win the gold medal. , then I can only work harder if I can."
After saying that, he pretended to sigh, which made everyone present couldn't help laughing.
The relationship between the two people is obviously closer in this life.
It is no longer similar to the big brother and little brother in the previous life, but the feeling of being good brothers of the same level in this life.
This is a change in Su Shen's own identity, and it is impossible for the two of them to get along with each other as before.
This is the normal development right now.
When he was finally leaving, Liu Xiang seemed to remember something, turned to the camera and added:
"By the way, some people, cheer up for the 200-meter duel with Bolt tomorrow."
Su Shen:......
200 meters.
Come on, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult.
Brother Xiang.
