IAAF: The rules are equal and zero false starts will not change because of Bolt.
During the men's 100-meter race at the Daegu World Championships, Bolt suddenly stopped during the race. Guns rang out. Bolt grabbed first place and was sent off the field. That night, those who had bought tickets specifically to watch the 100-meter final were disappointed, and some were even a little angry. Bolt's father was very disappointed with this old man who was afraid of flying. He even flew more than ten hours to the stadium just to see his child, but in the end he only saw his son being sent off. This made him very upset. Disappointed, even angry at the organizing committee.
This Sunday, the IAAF will hold a meeting on the "zero false start" movement in Daegu to discuss this matter: This rule came into effect on January 1 this year, and it has been a year and a half now. The Daegu World Championships was the first time such a rule was adopted in an important outdoor competition, but with Bolt being eliminated, people also had great doubts and dissatisfaction.
Bolt is eliminated this time. Will the "zero false start" rule be ended?
Does every false start have to change the rules of the game?
This argument came to an end in the early hours of yesterday morning. The IAAF sent an email and received an official reply yesterday: The IAAF is very sorry for Bolt's "jump start" incident, but before that , we must remind everyone that any sport must abide by certain rules and must have a long-term and fair principle. In other words, for Bolt, no one can break the IAAF's "zero tolerance" for false starts! In other words, if Bolt does not change, it is very likely that he will be canceled and sent off at the 2012 London Olympics.
"Zero false start" means that any athlete who takes the lead in a game will be disqualified from the game. On August 12, 2010, the 47th World Athletics Conference was held in Berlin. The meeting discussed the issue of "zero tolerance", with 97 votes in favor and 55 votes in favor, and it came into effect on January 1, 2010.
In fact, the rules of sprint starts have been changing all the time. The oldest competitions did not have restrictions on false starts. In theory, a player will not be sent off for 100 false starts, as long as he is thick-skinned enough. In the 1912 Olympics 100-meter final, American player Craig successfully used false starts to defeat his opponents. Craig made a total of 8 false starts during the game.
Subsequently, the IAAF formulated the "second false start" rule...
In the first stage, before 2003, an athlete had two false starts before being disqualified.
In the second stage, one false start was allowed from 2003 to 2009, and athletes who made a false start thereafter were disqualified.
The third stage starts from January 1, 2010 with "zero false start". Any false start will be disqualified.
The original intention of "zero false starts" is actually to protect big-name players.
There is no doubt that the men's 100-meter dash is the most attractive event and the most valuable event, so the IAAF also wants to make this event perfect. The cost of broadcasting is of course the largest. From the perspective of TV broadcasting, there will be a two-minute delay in each game. If all six players are competing, then this 100-meter race that originally only takes 10 seconds will be delayed by two minutes. Taking up 5,000 meters of time will not only disrupt the rhythm of the broadcast, but also cause dissatisfaction among the audience. Therefore, the IAAF changed the rules and stipulated a false start. Although the delay time is much less, there will still be some athletes deliberately false starts in order to create a tense atmosphere.
In fact, in the next competition, many people did it on purpose, which gave the IAAF a headache. IAAF's Fredericks points out that in sprinting, there are a lot of people who like to be clever. Perhaps the only way is to ban false starts. Therefore, he has "zero tolerance" for this kind of behavior. This is also a kind of protection so that Bolt and others will not be robbed by others, thus affecting their own performance.
However, no one would have expected that this regulation intended to protect big names would actually "injure" these big names. At this World Championships, Bolt, Chambers and the Olympic 400m champion Ohuru in the British capital became victims of the "zero false start" goal. However, after Bolt was eliminated due to a false start, people had a new understanding of the "zero false start" rule.
Let’s start the discussion again.
But unfortunately, the IAAF's attitude is very firm this time.
There is absolutely no room for doubt and absolutely no change.
IAAF press officer Nick Davis said yesterday that this Sunday's meeting is just a discussion, and discussions are discussions, but it is unlikely to change the starting rules. This is a competition, not a show. . So we're unlikely to change the rules just because one guy is out.
IAAF German Commissioner Diegel said: "The rules are the rules. When Chambers was eliminated due to a false start, no one complained. Why did we change this rule when Bolt was eliminated?"
Sebastian Coe, chairman of the London Olympic Organizing Committee, has made it clear that there is unlikely to be a rule change at the 2012 London Olympics. “This rule was only finalized in 2009 and is unlikely to change so soon. Moreover, I Thinking that starting is part of running and part of an athlete's training technique. So I don't think the London Olympics will use different rules, although it may run the risk of not having big-name athletes in the final."
[A thief among the 200-meter runners was allowed to participate in the World Championships after paying bail]
The Daegu World Track and Field Championships 200-meter trapeze battle will be staged the day after tomorrow. Bolt, who has experienced a false start, will undoubtedly be the focus of attention. The American player Dodson who will compete with him on the same field seems so unknown, but he still has A special identity——thief!
[Junior brother Usain boasted that he came here to fight for the gold medal, not to make soy sauce. 】
Blake ran the best result in the preliminaries in the 200m, which was very surprising. After all, before this, his results were very ordinary, never exceeding 20.30+, and last year it was only 20.60+. Such an improvement all of a sudden. There are so many, which makes people really doubt whether he used any "off-board tricks".
However, Blake claimed that he did not, claiming that he had only just discovered his potential in the 200 meters this year.
He came here this time just to tell the world how much energy he has.
…
"It looks like there will be 'zero false start' in the future, and Bolt has no way to shake this rule." Zhao Haohuan said after looking at the dazzling reports.
"That's for sure." Su Shen also said: "Rules are rules. Everyone is treated equally. How can it be changed for one person?"
"That would push Usain to the forefront of verbal and literary criticism."
"But Xiao Tian, why is this guy's 200 meters... so powerful all of a sudden?" After Zhao Haohuan saw Blake's news, he suddenly changed the topic and asked. This question was obviously of interest to Zhou Bing, so he also came over. He immediately echoed: "Why, yes, Tim, this is too exaggerated."
"He was no match for me in the 200 meters before. I could beat him easily last year."
"Are all people in Jamaica so perverted?"
It is normal for Zhou Bing to be unconvinced. In the past, Blake was just a little Kalami in the 200 meters. Zhou Bing didn't even take it seriously. At 20.60+, it was easy to break through. He also competed with Blake once, and he didn't even take it seriously. No effort required.
Then just one year later, you tell me that he can suddenly "fly up on the spot" and beat himself up easily?
Zhou Bing really doubted whether he was too untalented for the 200 meters compared to him.
After spending so much time on a special event, someone else is playing a 100-meter special event and only 200 meters, so he blew himself up?
Or will it improve by leaps and bounds in just one year?
This is too hard to accept.
But Su Shen said calmly: "Don't think so much. He may have just found a new talent door for himself. And the reason why he can do it is because first, his physical development has been basically the same this year. Mature, like us, was still a little too young before. The second is that his weaknesses have been strengthened to the maximum strength, and the shortcomings of the barrel are gone. The third is his training will and training intensity, which are indeed amazing. , most people can’t do it, let his talent begin to be fully stimulated.”
In fact, there is a fourth point, which Su Shen did not say clearly, that is... because the hamstring muscles, which are the shortest, have been strengthened, Blake's natural short legs problem has been greatly alleviated. Secondly, as long as he is not injured, Blake can He can continue to practice and continue to increase the intensity. Except for his hamstrings, which are fatal injuries due to his naturally long and short legs, he can "train" other areas very well.
Being able to practice is a talent.
This is similar to Kobe Bryant in basketball. Do you really think others can practice like this? I have long since trained myself to the point of scrapping it.
In the past, his long and short leg hamstrings restricted him, but now it is equivalent to further unlocking this restriction, and it will naturally improve.
Secondly, and the most important point is that you must first realize your own talents, so a complete training cycle is very important.
This Su Shen himself said in an interview in his last life that his biggest opponent is not age, skill, or mentality. There is only one, and that is--injury.
Because injuries will disrupt your training plan and training cycle, and if this is disrupted, your overall competitive state and performance may not improve. And as long as you can maintain a complete training plan and training cycle, you have the possibility to continue to get stronger.
This is actually true for weightlifting teams and other track and field events.
The coach of the weightlifting team also said that if you don't get injured, you can always get stronger.
What he means is that your training plan and training cycle can be maintained.
Coupled with the stimulation of the general environment, it is normal for Blake to become stronger. They are not all at the "Five Tigers" level. Others have become stronger, but he has not changed at all. As a strong person, he is driven by the general environment. Continue to grow, that's what happens in any field.
So forget it if Blake didn't participate in the 200 meters. Even if he did, he would definitely be a strong one this year.
On the original timeline, he could have such an amazing 200-meter performance and the first pure run in 200-meter history.
Now, Su Shen actually wants to know what impact he will have on Bolt.
If it were Blake this year, if Bolt hadn't taken it too seriously, he would have really failed.
This is absolutely no joke.
Even Blake himself doesn't know how much potential he has in the 200 meters. Even though his focus is still on the 100 meters, and his 200 meters condition has not been adjusted to the best in this world championship, then Bolt himself... Isn't that true?
I'm afraid the two of us will do well in the 200 meters this year.
The two most talented people in the history of 200 meters finally have the opportunity to face off in a head-to-head competition.
They are still in a healthy state.
Even if the 200m is not adjusted optimally for this World Championships, it is not something that others can interfere with.
As a reopener, Su Shen actually had some slight expectations when he thought about this.
…
On the women's side, Chen Juan also entered the semi-finals, but she only got a small Q. It was not easy to enter the finals.
Competition in the women's 200 meters is fierce.
She was among the top three in the third group, even with a slight headwind, and managed to open 23 seconds. Daphne Hippers was first in the group, easily getting a time of 22.69s. These girls are one of the most powerful 200m athletes in the future, with SB21+ in multiple seasons. What is the concept? You have to know that the current women’s world record is 21.30+, which is simply a monster. They are called “Dafner Chippers” and they are no joke. Her strength is absolutely outstanding. Even though she is much younger than Chen Juan now, only eighteen or nineteen years old, her ability is already as dazzling as the sun in Europe.
The World Championships in the imperial capital will also be her stage. The European record and the World Championship record will be taken away by her.
She started training in track and field at the age of nine. She is definitely a talented girl.
Chen Juan has no problem beating her in the 100 meters, but she can't beat her in the 200 meters. However, Daphne Hippers is still very young now, and her state maintenance and competition mentality are not very stable yet.
This is her fatal injury now.
In addition to Daphne Hippers, American Allison Felix was second, also crossing the finish line easily in 22.71 seconds.
This is much higher than Chen Juan’s current PB, which she ran with a tailwind of more than one meter.
The third place is Brazilian player Ana Claudia Lemos, who also ran a preliminary score of 23 seconds, 22.96s, third in the group. This sister only scored a personal PB of 22.40+ in Sao Paulo this year. Really tough.
In Asia, 23 seconds is the top result, but here, it is simply... vulnerable.
Chen Juan finally ran a time of 23.09s, blocking Janelle Redhead's 23.11s, and finished fourth in the group.
The little girls from Ersha Island felt a little "scared" when they saw Chen Juan's results.
Chen Juan's 200-meter result is already unmatched in China and the only one in Asia. The result...
It turns out to be so "ordinary" inside.
Some little girls who admired Chen Juan also understood for the first time how difficult it would be for Chen Juan to compete on the stage of the World Series even with her abilities.
Chen Juan Xiaoq entered the semi-finals. In the world competition, compared with the 100-meter final stage regular, the 200-meter is much more difficult for Chen Juan.
Striving for a 200-meter final this year is her 200-meter limit.
No matter how much, it is still difficult at present.
It's too difficult.
At this moment, Bolt’s interview ignited the 200-meter semi-final stage:
"I lost the 100-meter gold medal, but I will not lose the 200-meter gold medal again."
"And the 200-meter gold medal will be brought back to Jamaica by me, not anyone else."
"This is my championship declaration!"
Ah.
Seeing this, Su Shen was almost happy.
It seems that Blake's sudden 200-meter explosion made some people unable to sit still.
This time at 200 meters, he felt...
It will definitely be exciting.
The regrets of my previous life were purely the regrets of being a track and field athlete + a track and field fan.
The 200-meter super battle will not be missed in this life.
