Gatlin, the 2004 Athens Olympic gold medalist, was suspended for four years due to doping. After his comeback, he said he was trying to rebuild his dynasty. Earlier in Beijing time, he defeated a group of outstanding athletes such as British athlete Chambers at the World Athletics Championships in Madrid, winning the championship for the first time since his comeback.
Gatlin started very quickly today, which was slightly different from his previous strong performance in the later stages. His overall speed reached 9.95s, which is also the best effective result this year. Chambers finished second with a gap of 0.03 seconds, while American Button was third at 10.18 seconds. In 2006, Gatlin broke the world record, but just three months later, he used banned substances again and was sentenced to a four-year ban. Although he said he never admitted to knowingly using banned substances, his appeal was denied and he was dropped from the U.S. 2008 Olympic team and from the men's 100-meter dash at the Beijing Games. The same is true for Kitty Chambers. In 2003, he was also suspended for two years for using banned substances.
Gatlin was suspended for four years, which also caused him to fall from one of the most popular sprinters to obscurity. However, since he returned to the competition, he has gradually recovered and successfully passed the domestic trials, so he will once again represent the United States in the Daegu World Championships from August 27th to September 4th. In the 100-meter dash, he will start a competition with Bolt. This will be the first head-to-head confrontation between the two Olympic champions.
Gatlin said after the game that his comeback was no joke and that he loves track and field more than anyone else.
Bolt is indeed very strong at his peak, but he will pass. When the time comes, as long as he lasts long enough, he will still have the possibility to win the world championship again.
In other competitions held in the early hours of the morning, Jamaica's Garrevot outscored the rest of the women's 100-meter finals with a time of 11.23 seconds, while American players Pierre and Madison ranked in 11.28 and 11.30 seconds. Two or three. In the men's 400-meter race, the Belgian athlete won the championship with a time of 44.74 seconds, setting the best time among European athletes this season. The Cuban athlete Clado ranked second with a time of 44.95 seconds. In the men's 110-meter hurdles competition, American athletes showed strong strength. Akins, Byrne, and Porter took the top three with times of 13.45 seconds, 13.49 seconds, and 13.53 seconds. In the men's 800-meter race, American player Mueller defeated the 2004 Olympic champion, Russia's Pozzawski, with a time of 1 minute, 45 seconds and 10 seconds. Pozzakovsky and Spain Player Ola Mendo ranked second and third respectively, with times of 1 minute 45 seconds 57 and 1 minute 45 seconds 67.
…
"This Gatlin really dares to say that." Zhou Bing, who is about to participate in the Diamond League in Kitty Eagle Country, looked at the report and said: "With his current level, he dares to challenge Bolt? How old is he? Bolt is better than him. Even smaller, I’m really convinced.”
Zhou Bing's current thoughts also represent the thoughts of the vast majority of people around the world.
How old is Gatlin? Bolt was born in 1986, so he is four years younger. Not to mention how old Bolt is now, only 24 or 25 years old. Who dares to say that he can beat him?
"What's more, even if Bolt gets old, my Tim is still here. How can he survive Tim?"
Zhou Bing turned his head and shook his head exaggeratedly: "I think he got a little swollen after winning a challenge championship."
"In fact, he can't even run away from Gou Huan now."
"Let history pass by."
"The future belongs to young people."
Zhao Haohuan has never thought about this matter at all. He just feels that Blake from Jamaica has become a huge threat to him.
Even though Jamaica's Mullins is suspended, his competitive environment is still fierce.
It is still difficult to hit the front.
Even if this continues, top five will be impossible.
As a member of the 9.70+ club, he is naturally not willing to stay like this.
But after seeing Gatlin's interview, he felt...
It seems that taking the long-term route is not impossible.
This group of people is indeed very strong, but except for Su Shen, no one is smaller than me.
Moreover, Su Shen is one and a half years younger than him, so as long as he can withstand it, it is not impossible that he can get rid of this group of people in the future.
By then, maybe I will actually be able to touch the medals from the OW competition.
I was born in 1988.
I am only 30 years old in 2018.
If he can maintain his form like Liu Xiang, he may still be able to compete in Rio 2016.
At least that's what Zhao Haohuan thinks now.
At the age of 30, no yellow person has ever done it, so naturally he doesn't dare to think about it.
We can only use Liu Xiang as a guess.
But in the 2016 group, except for Su Shen, who was still in his twenties, the rest were in their thirties, and Powell and Gay were both in their thirties and forties. It was impossible for them to be able to withstand it at that time.
Gatlin's words may seem to him that the former is impossible, but the self in 1988...
It doesn't seem entirely impossible.
Thinking of this, Zhao Haohuan suddenly felt as if he had seen a brand new road.
At least, in the days to come, it won't be completely purposeless.
Maintaining the state, making steady breakthroughs, reducing physical consumption, it seems... is a new goal.
Zhao Haohuan has never had any serious injuries since he was with Su Shen. With the comprehensive care of nutritionists and many black technologies, he now feels that he is getting stronger. Moreover, he is not responsible for the project, but it is Su Shen who gives it to him. Use one of Zhao Haohuan's criteria.
Otherwise, in this era, you can run such a 100-meter result, but don't ask you to run 200 meters, it is simply impossible.
In this way, Zhao Haohuan's competitive load and competitive pressure have been within control over the years.
Let him dare to have such an idea.
Otherwise, if you are injured, you will still outlast the other party?
Don't put yourself, a young person, to death first.
…
July 9th, Birmingham, Kitty Eagle Country.
Bolt said in an interview before the game:
"The 100 meters and 200 meters are both my strengths. I think the championship will not be left behind." After completing this competition, Bolt will return to Brunel University to continue training. "Now my condition is getting better and better. I have significantly improved in the last 60 meters. The current focus of training is on the first 40 meters, especially the first 20 meters."
"This was my weakness in the past, but in this year's winter training, I have been strengthening this aspect, and I can see that Lausanne is the best result. My coach told me that as long as I can solve the startup problem, I can also make my startup a success. Historical level, then I will truly become an inexplicable monster in history.”
"So I will be here, preparing until the start in Daegu."
"My goal this season is to continue to run a good result of 9.50+ in Daegu. Even if the wind speed permits, I will continue to try for the world record." Bolt said with great momentum: "Maybe at that time, the first 9.40 in human history will be achieved. +, it’s about to appear.”
At the same time, Bolt said that the Daegu World Championships is just a small step leading to the London Olympics. In London in 2012, he will try his best to replicate the three gold medals in BJ that year.
"I have been making steady progress towards London. What I am doing now is to adapt and prepare. The London Olympics is my goal."
As soon as these words came out, many people felt their blood boiling.
This year's new world record in Lausanne is already exciting enough. Unexpectedly, Bolt is also planning to go to Daegu to replicate the miracle of Berlin again. This... tell me, who doesn't want to see how fast humans can run? ?
Because of this passage, Bolt received a lot of traffic.
Even Kitty Eagle Country deliberately issued a "Special Athlete Tax-Free License" to Bolt in advance.
But even so, this year's Birmingham still can't catch up.
This has also caused many track and field fans in Kitty Hawk Country to complain about the government.
Bolt did not participate in the competition and only came to Kitty Eagle Country to do charity activities, which made many people very regretful.
Otherwise, it is possible to see the multi-giant melee this year.
After all, Guy will also participate in this shot.
The two of them don't have as much money as Bolt, so it's worth deducting some tax.
And since Bolt does not participate, others will have a chance.
Su Shen also did not participate in the Diamond League before Daegu because he returned to China, causing both Gay and Powell to believe that they were the champion of Birmingham, the Kitty Hawk country this time.
The main reason why there is such a big fuss is that this year's Birmingham organizer gave a reward of 100,000 pounds to the first place in the 100 meters.
This will naturally make Gay and Powell eager to try.
But at the same time, there are also new forces that cannot be ignored.
He is this year's...Yohan Blake.
Blake has run 9.70+ twice this year, and once had 9.75s in Paris, which makes him seem to be surpassing the rest and becoming the first among the "Big Four".
And in his current state this year, if Powell and Gay don't perform well, it's really not guaranteed that he will be defeated.
This is not Paris, so Powell is in trouble.
Therefore, Blake's arrival also made this shot full of suspense.
Coupled with the fact that there are Zhao Haohuan and others, including Chambers, a local master of Kitty Eagle Country, this shot is also full of competition.
…
The next day, the Birmingham Diamond League begins.
First is the triple jump.
In the men's triple jump, top players gathered in Birmingham, including the Frenchman Tamgo, who was very likely to break the outdoor world record. However, he was in poor condition today and only finished fifth with 16.74 meters. Local master Idowu He performed well and achieved a score of 17.54 meters in the third jump. In the end, Idowu won the championship with this result. The Cuban star Copero won the runner-up with 17.12 meters. Another Cuban star Gilat won the runner-up with 17 meters. 08 won third place.
Greene of Little Eagle Country won the men's 400-meter hurdles championship in 48.20 seconds.
Sudan's Kaki won the men's 800m championship in 1:44.54.
Farah, a native of Kitty Eagle Country, won the men's 5,000-meter championship in 13 minutes, 06 seconds and 17 seconds.
Armstrong of the United States won the men's shot put championship with a time of 21.55 meters. Norwegian javelin prince Thor Kidson returned to form. He won the championship with an absolute advantage of 88.30 meters, and also created the best result in the world this year.
Women's side:
Botswana's Montresor won the women's 400m championship in 50.20 seconds, Kitty Eagle Country's Jordan Meadows won the women's 800m championship in 2:02.06, and Ethiopian player Assefa won the women's 3000m hurdles championship in 9:25.87. , and broke the tournament record.
Uchenni of the United States won the women's 1,500-meter championship in 4:05.64.
Germany's Mueller won the women's discus championship with a time of 65.75 meters.
American player Deloche unexpectedly defeated compatriots Rise and Timo and won the women's long jump championship with 6.78 meters. Germany's Spegelberg won the women's pole vault championship with a time of 4.66 meters. Croatia's Vlasic won the women's high jump championship with a height of 1.99 meters.
Because there is no men's 200 meters this time, the women's 200 meters will start first.
Without the concurrent pressure of 100 meters, Chen Juan could finally use her shot at full strength.
In the past, I always had to run 100 meters, so I couldn't focus on this. I had to save my condition and physical fitness for 100 meters.
This shot was finally no longer needed.
There are many experts in this 200-meter shot, and with the one-shot system, Wei Yongli has no chance to play, and only Chen Juan has the chance.
Even if Chen Juan is in it, the entire PB is almost at the bottom among everyone.
Whether it is Bianca Knight or Marshavet Hooker, or famous players such as Carmelita Jeter, Ferguson McKenzie, etc., even Natasha Harbin, who is in great form this year, Stings looks much better than his PB, and is much stronger in the 200 meters.
However, Chen Juan is still full of expectations for this gun that can be used to fight.
She doesn't want to compete with others, she just wants to win her new PB.
"set."
Bang————————————————————
"Game start."
"Jitel is the fastest runner and is indeed the fastest female 100-meter flyer now. MacKenzie from Panama is close behind. Chen Juan doesn't have an advantage at the start and is still behind."
"Mashevit Hooker showed great energy in the corners and quickly caught up with Mackenzie. Chen Juan overtook American player Natasha here and is currently eighth."
"Natasha's condition is average. Chen Juan is chasing Onuola, the Kitty Eagle player in front. The two are inseparable in the corner. Onuola currently has a slight advantage."
"Curve into the straight."
"Bianca Knight, a young American athlete, rushed forward. She was very fast and overtook McKenzie! Together with Hooker, she overtook Jeter!"
"Chen Juan wants to speed up on the straight road. Speed up and catch up with Onowola!"
"Exceeding the past! By the way, I got close to Avette Lalova, who has made a significant recovery this year!"
"Chen Juan and Evette are running neck and neck in the last thirty meters! Chen Juan has a chance..."
“Crush the line!!!”
"Chen Juan finally surpassed Evette Lalova, the former female genius of Bulgaria!"
"Sixth overall!"
“The top three were all taken by American players. With a tailwind of 1.0M/S, the champion was Bianca Knight’s time of 22.59s. She beat Marshvit Hooker at the thousandth mark and won the championship. Marshvit Hooker was second, Jeter was third in 22.62s, and Chinese player Chen Juan’s result was..."
"Oh? It's 22...95s!!!"
"Chen Juan, Chen Juan opened it for 23 seconds!!!!!!!!!"
"She opened it again for 23 seconds after many years in our country!!!!"
These days, women can be excited for less than 23 seconds, which is really too declining.
However, things are getting better at least.
Li Xuemei looked at it and thought that Chen Juan still had a lot of potential to be tapped. Her basic skills and physical foundation were the most solid domestic female athletes she had ever seen. Except for the fact that her testosterone was naturally inferior to hers and her strength was inferior, the rest was actually It has surpassed itself in many aspects. Especially technical concepts and physical flexibility as well as stability and understanding of the game.
If I had reached this level back then...then a World OW medal would not be a luxury.
The shooting star will not fall so quickly due to various injuries.
But now that she is here, she will not let Chen Juan be wary of her "lessons from the past".
Never take the same route again.
Chen Juan opened 23 seconds, allowing the Chinese women's horizontal 200 meters to return to the 22-second ranking, which is surprising.
Because there is no 200 meter site for men.
So it was straight onto the finale in Birmingham.
In the 100-meter decisive battle.
And with this shot, Zhao Haohuan even saw another possibility.
A possibility different from "boiling the eagle".
That is……
