The Su God of the Reopening of the Sports Arena

Chapter 1771 At this moment, it’s as if I saw my former self

Tianchao Sports Channel Sports News:

The 110-meter hurdles competition at the London Station of the IAAF Diamond League is about to begin. This will be Liu Xiang's last public game before the Olympics. On his 29th birthday, the Flyer certainly hopes to celebrate his birthday with a championship. However, he has a more important task in this competition, which is to adapt to the climate of London and the Olympic competition format of two hours and two shots.

This is the first time that Liu Xiang has participated in an outdoor competition in London in his career. Since the defending champion Robles has been exempted from the competition, Liu Xiang, who has maintained a complete victory in the season, will mainly face the attack of the American duo Merritt and Richardson. Liu Xiang also said in a previous interview with the media that the London Games will focus on adjustments: "I don't regard the Diamond League as a competition. I just make adjustments and there are no performance requirements for myself. Its competition system is quite similar to the Olympic Games. , I will regard this as a training and adapt to it easily.”

Since there are 16 people registered to participate, the competition will be divided into two groups and will be held in two rounds: preliminary round and final round.

Among them, Liu Xiang was placed in the fourth lane of the first group. There was no particularly strong opponent in the same group. Rising star Xie Wenjun will play in the first lane of the second group. The American duo of Richardson and Merritt will compete in the second group, with the two ranked third and fourth respectively. Merritt ran a season-best time of 12 seconds at the recently concluded U.S. Track and Field Olympic Trials. Richardson was the runner-up at last year's World Championships in Osaka. The two will also be Liu Xiang's main opponents in the Olympics. . The interval between the preliminaries and the finals is only about two hours, which is almost the same as the arrangements for the semi-finals and finals at the London Olympics. I believe Liu Xiang will also use this opportunity to conduct a final simulation of the Olympics.

……

After a night's rest.

Weekend game scene.

"Is this really summer?" Zhou Bing complained loudly, "Why does it feel so cold?"

"Didn't you read the weather forecast?" Zhao Haohuan said from the side: "The temperature in London today is only 18℃, and the lowest temperature is even only 10℃."

Time is limited.

Bang——————————————

"By adjusting the rhythm through three hurdles, Liu Xiang gradually entered the state and picked up the speed. If he picked up the speed during the run, the others would have no chance."

Although it is said that increasing the training volume and intensity will inevitably cause physical discomfort.

He himself has nothing to do with it.

"set."

Fortunately, it is still within the support range and within my expectations.

If we look at it now...

"It looks like it will rain today." Liu Xiang waved his hand and felt the weather. It seemed that it had started to drizzle.

Only Liu Xiang himself felt that his body was slightly struggling under the recent increasing training volume.

After the women's side ended, it was the men's turn soon.

I had never paid much attention to this player before.

Perhaps in order to cooperate with the changes in the competition system, the short span started the preliminaries first.

In the first group, Germany's Gianni is in the first lane, followed by the German Sharman in the second lane, the American Hicks in the third lane, Liu Xiang in the fourth lane, and the American in the fifth lane. Porter, American player Brown on the 1th track, German player Turner on the 2th track, and German player Alex on the 3th track.

Liu Xiang moved his joints on the track.

should be no problem.

There was no expert in this shot. Liu Xiang actually just followed his leg and prepared his body for the final.

Someone really broke out.

Merritt is not young even at this age.

"Damn, what the hell, it's already July, okay?" Zhou Bing finally understood why Sushen Laboratory was developing a series of thermal insulation equipment this year. Now it seems...

Soon the electronic password sounded.

"Give me some more heat preservation sauce, it's really freezing to death." Zhou Bing's complaint was not unique. Liu Xiang also felt the same way. He felt that the temperature difference here was too big, at least compared to that in China. Not the same thing. Such weather made it more difficult for him to warm up, and he was prone to various minor physical problems.

"At the beginning of the game, Liu Xiang started a little slowly."

Xiaotian is right.

Because it is an Olympic city, everyone is very enthusiastic about participating. Most competitions have preliminaries and finals, which fully reflects the importance of the London Games.

It's really necessary.

The password was very fast, even a little too fast. Liu Xiang's reaction was 0.152, and the fastest was 0.137s. His starting reaction was only ranked fifth.

This is true even for a completely healthy body, but for him, it has been overhauled now, and he must pay more attention to the fluctuations in his body.

"Brother Xiang, this is a good sign for you!" several members of the Xiang team said.

I am just afraid that Liu Xiang will be prone to problems. In fact, he has really had some minor problems these days. Although they can be overcome, the frequent occurrence in such a short period of time shows that London is really not friendly to athletes' injuries. The place.

What Sun Haiping has to do now is... to prevent Liu Xiang from having any non-competition problems.

For example, the ankles and Achilles tendons have obvious discomfort.

After all, the battle between Yu and Liu Xiang is indeed historical. He is extremely strong. It seems that it is a "good omen".

The London Olympics men's 110 Milan final will be held on August 8, just over 8 weeks away.

“But the top hurdle is still good, the rhythm is okay.”

Wet and cold weather are most likely to cause injuries to relapse and relapse.

"Thanks to Xiao Tian for suggesting coming early." Sun Haiping looked at the weather and shook his head: "The temperature difference between Shanghai and London is nearly 20 degrees Celsius. If you don't adapt early, your muscles will be very tense and it will be difficult to adjust."

But this can't affect anything.

Finished this section.

"on your marks."

In this game, I faced Merritt for the first time and won the WL. It was also the first time I faced Merritt who could open up 13 seconds.

"Liu Xiang kept widening the gap, and the last hurdle let him down."

"Finally pulled back and passed the finish line."

"There was no surprise in first place, 13.25 seconds, easily the first in the group and entering the finals."

"In the final, as expected, he will compete with Merritt and others to see who is the strongest hurdler this year."

In the second group, Xie Wenjun was on the 1st track, German player Pozzi was on the 2nd track, American player Richardson was on the 3rd track, Merritt, the owner of the best result this season, was on the 4th track, and American Wilson was on the 5th track Runway, Carrack was 6th, Brathwaite was 7th, and Akins was 8th.

In the second group, American Merritt easily won the first place in the group in 0.139 seconds with his starting reaction of 13 seconds and strong strength. It can be seen that Merritt is in a very excited state now. His running state is completely different from what Liu Xiang remembered. Watch him pass hurdles one after another.

Liu Xiang frowned slightly.

The same goes for Sun Haiping beside him.

It was nothing else, but mainly because they noticed that Merritt's hurdle rhythm was... unexpectedly good.

It's completely different from Oliver's previous physical flow.

More like... former hurdle king Johnson.

Liu Xiang himself knows how important this sense of rhythm is in short strides.

Because of himself.

Just rely on the strong short-span rhythm to win.

I didn’t expect Merritt to be...

Also doing so well.

finally.

理查德森以13秒23获得第二，威尔森13秒28小组第三，波兹以13秒34的成绩排名第四，同时这是他个人最好成绩。谢文君以13秒35的成绩排名无缘决赛。

In fact, he could have run better, but because he was a little nervous and unadapted, he was not in good condition for this shot.

Finally ranked outside the top four.

But this result is already one of the best results in Asia this year.

Especially when Shi Dongpeng is in a downturn and unable to go to London.

For a young player born in the 1990s who competed in the Olympics for the first time, this is already very good.

Sun Haiping touched Xie Wenjun's head and told him that his performance was okay and there was no need to be upset.

But when I touched him, my mind was somewhat "absent-minded".

The attention is still on Liu Xiang's side.

Merritt's reaction and strength with this shot are so strong, it seems like there really will be no flukes this year.

Even without Robles...

I’m afraid it’s not easy to win this championship.

The preliminaries lasted 13.14 seconds. In the end, Sun Haiping was in a state where he couldn't hold back any water. He could feel it even from dozens of meters away.

Even Richardson, who placed second, shot 13.23 seconds.

Better than Liu Xiang’s preliminaries results.

In this year's U.S. Championship trials, although Merritt stole the limelight, Richardson was also able to double-drive in 13 hours and seconds. This ability has not been achieved by Liu Xiang so far. Of course, the previous competition system did not require this, short-term output, but now that the competition system has changed, you must adapt to it.

Otherwise, your competitiveness will be inferior to others.

At this time, Merritt, who had the best score in the preliminaries, naturally received an on-site interview from media reporters:

"My idea for the season is to compete for the championship with my idol Liu!"

"This has always been my dream."

"Now that I have this opportunity, I will go all out to defeat the opponent!"

"He is the idol who inspires me to change from eight to seven, so he is also the person I dream of surpassing."

"Now I finally have this opportunity, and I won't miss it easily."

"Liu, please fight with me."

"I want to beat you."

Merritt indeed regards Liu Xiang as his idol, but in the competitive sports world, apart from chasing stars and motivating oneself, the biggest role of idols is... as a goal to improve oneself.

Or even to surpass this goal.

In this regard, Merritt got the "essence of the idol."

I like you very much and respect you very much, but I also want to surpass you.

Liu Xiang saw Merritt's big white teeth on the high-definition screen above his head. For a moment, he seemed a little...

I saw my former self.

It seems that I was also in New York when I faced the then world hurdler Alan Johnson and said something similar.

He showed a similar look.

Yes.

It's this look.

Just like myself in 04.

The same.

just now.
