The Su God of the Reopening of the Sports Arena

Chapter 1852: A new Olympic record! Our dream has come true!!! (A long chapter, please vote~)

Liu Xiang has already seen the hope of victory.

The seventh hurdle has passed.

He still maintained a very strong speed.

There was no way Merritt could find any gaps.

At this time, even Merritt's own top speed had reached the end, and he could no longer hold on and could no longer maintain it below 1.00.

When Liu Xiang jumped over the hurdle, his body's center of gravity moved forward along the parabolic trajectory formed when he took off.

The parabolic trajectory of the body's center of gravity is determined by the take-off angle, which in turn depends on the ratio of horizontal velocity to vertical velocity.

Although the trajectory of the body's center of gravity cannot be changed after taking off, athletes can improve the relative position of their body and the hurdle by changing their body posture, thereby maintaining body balance and increasing the speed of clearing the hurdles.

This is what Liu Xiang is doing now.

Take off.

Cross.

The hurdles flew past underfoot.

The seventh column.

There are three more.

There are three more...

You can win.

At this time, Sun Haiping also felt that he needed to calm down, because Liu Xiang's later life... had always been reassuring.

Nothing serious will happen.

Merritt's several high-speed attacks were all blocked by Liu Xiang, and he was even able to widen the gap in the high-speed range.

Sun Haiping also believes that Merritt's self-confidence and rhythm must have been hit.

such……

It seemed as if all favorable factors began to turn to Liu Xiang's side.

Liu Xiang once again smelled the scent of Olympic gold medal.

But just then...

Liu Xiang felt something was wrong while running.

The moment he landed after the seventh hurdle, he felt that his ankle, which had been controlled by the sealing needle, began to loosen.

No, not the ankle.

To be more specific, it should be...

It should be the right Achilles tendon.

Damn!

Liu Xiang naturally knew what this was. Blockade is not a panacea. Blockade injection, also known as blockade therapy, refers to the combination of a certain concentration of anti-inflammatory hormones with anesthetics, lidocaine being the most commonly used, and injected into the painful area to achieve anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.

Its two basic mechanisms are: hormone drugs can inhibit the immune response, disperse inflammatory substances accumulated in the affected area, dilate blood vessels, and promote local blood circulation; the anesthetic in the sealing needle can block the nerve pathways that transmit pain signals to the brain and quickly relieve pain.

In other words, it doesn’t cure the disease, it just temporarily stops your brain from feeling the pain.

There is also a probability that it will cause certain damage to the diseased tissue and cause tissue degeneration. For example, if patients with tenosynovitis frequently receive blocking injections, the tendons will become brittle and cause spontaneous tendon rupture.

Therefore, the risk for Liu Xiang to do this will only increase during high-intensity exercise.

It's a very strange feeling.

Because there is no pain, you can feel the changes in a certain part of the body more clearly.

It's not like he hasn't experienced the feeling of Achilles tendon before.

The situation was similar in 08.

This immediately caught his attention.

but……

Now is not the time to get discouraged.

Now that we have seen the dawn of victory, how can we give up easily and waste all our efforts?

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Sun Haiping has sharp eyes. Not to mention that his attention is now all on Liu Xiang, even if it is not all on him, with his experience of leading Liu Xiang for so many years, he can quickly notice that there is something wrong with Liu Xiang's actions.

For example, you should maintain a high running speed before taking off, and the kick of the taking-off leg should be quick and powerful. At the moment the kick-off ends, the hip, knee, and ankle joints of the taking-off leg should be fully stretched and basically in a straight line with the torso and head.

But here, Liu Xiang's leg kick was a little weak. The three-joint extension at the end of the kick was also problematic, and it was impossible to form a straight line with the torso.

At least for Liu Xiang, this straight line is not straight enough.

For example, when the swinging leg is folded behind the body, the heel should be close to the arm, and with the hip as the axis, the thigh should drive the calf to actively swing forward until the knee exceeds the height of the waist.

But in Liu Xiang's case, the swinging leg is folded behind the body and the heel is not close enough to the buttocks.

For example, when the two legs cooperate to complete the stride-up action, the upper body leans forward more, the arm on the opposite side of the swinging leg is bent at the elbow and swung forward and upward, the elbow joint reaches the height of the shoulder, and the other arm is bent at the elbow and swung to the side of the body. The whole body concentrates on exerting force forward, balanced and stretched, to prepare for the next "attack on the hurdle".

But here, Liu Xiang, whether it was leaning his upper body forward, or swinging his leg with his elbow bent and his arm on the opposite side swung forward and upward, and his elbow joint reaching shoulder height... he didn't do it well.

Of course, maybe outsiders think he has done well enough.

But for Sun Haiping.

He felt that Liu Xiang didn't do well enough.

These are mistakes he rarely makes.

Now it appears continuously.

This……

There must be something wrong! ?

Sun Haiping guessed correctly, Liu Xiang is in trouble now. Your sudden Achilles tendon reaction has caused Liu Xiang to subconsciously begin to restrain his movements.

Even every movement began to avoid putting more pressure here.

The idea is good, but doing so will obviously affect oneself in a match like the Olympic final.

Not focused enough in the Olympic final.

That could very well lead to big trouble.

Andreas, who thought Merritt was finished, suddenly noticed this, and his eyes, which had originally dimmed, suddenly brightened up again.

  I couldn't help but yell, not caring whether Merritt could hear me or not:

"Aris! Opportunity! This is an opportunity!!!"

“Seize the opportunity!!!”

I don’t know if Merritt heard it, or if it was telepathy, or maybe... he himself captured this information.

  Merritt was immediately overjoyed!

The whole group of people had been suppressed from beginning to end by Liu Xiang, and their morale, which had been hit hard, rose sharply again.

That's how people are.

If you can’t see hope, you will naturally become decadent and lose interest in life. But once you see hope…

And extremely strong energy will burst out.

Merritt is now one of those people.

The opportunity came, he would not let it go, he even felt...

  Is this the reward from God for my earnest prayer before going out?

Either way, the opportunity has resurfaced.

Merritt had been looking a little depressed at first, but all of a sudden he began to write as if inspired, and his feet immediately felt a lot lighter.

The slightly relaxed smile on Su Shen's face before had completely disappeared at this moment, replaced by tightly pursed lips.

What is supposed to come will still come.

If it is a blessing, then there is no disaster. If it is a disaster, can’t we avoid it?

There are only a few hurdles left, and whether you can win the championship depends on just a few dozen meters.

At this time, Merritt swung his legs, bent his knees and raised them high. He attacked the hurdles actively and whipped them vigorously. His pace was fast and active, and it was closely connected with the running between the hurdles.

The lower limbs are flexed, and the gluteus maximus behind the hip joint, the quadriceps in front of the thigh, and the triceps surae behind the calf are stretched to complete eccentric contraction, which serves to store elastic energy across time and enhance nerve reflexes.

When the body moves forward and Merritt's center of gravity passes through the vertical plane of support, the joints of the lower limbs of the striding leg quickly stretch and begin to push off the ground and stride.

The swinging leg swings forward with the hip joint as the axis, and drives the calf to flex and form a folded forward movement. This is the result of the iliopsoas, rectus femoris, sartorius and other hip flexor muscles and hamstring muscles completing concentric contraction.

Although large muscle groups such as the iliopsoas muscle play a decisive role in the powerful hip flexion forward swing, flexing the hip and calf at the same time to reduce the rotation radius is of great significance for increasing the swing speed and forming a whip-like swing over the hurdle action.

Merritt's kick was completed with the coordination of his legs.

Merritt is worthy of being Merritt. As long as he is given the opportunity this year, he will try to seize it.

There won't be any hesitation.

The contestants behind have completely become spectators of the super confrontation between these two people.

At this point, it didn't matter what rank he got, because everyone's eyes were on the front, wanting to know whether this match would create the most exciting match in the history of the Olympic short-distance race.

"Merritt caught up with us, very fast, he took up a body position, and he is still chasing us. Liu Xiang, hold on, hold on."

On the sidelines, Feng Shuyong immediately used his hand to smash his other palm. Only people who were close to him could feel the sound of his blow breaking through the air.

This shows that at this moment, Feng Shuyong's emotions have suddenly reached a high point.

This is a roller coaster of joy and sorrow.

It's not good.

"What happened? Why did the speed suddenly drop?"

Following Feng Shuyong's voice, Yu Weili said, "Coach Feng, I'm afraid Liu Xiang's Achilles tendon can't hold up anymore."

  What? ? ?

Feng Shuyong felt like he was struck by a bolt from the blue.

In the last second, Liu Xiang seemed to be assisted by God. Even in the extreme speed zone, Merritt could not gain any advantage. He was getting closer and closer to the championship.

How did it suddenly become...

The Achilles tendon can no longer hold on.

You performed very well just now.

Actually, it is——

You just performed very well.

On the contrary there is a problem.

It’s not good because he runs “too well”, as it puts too much pressure on Liu Xiang’s current body.

The better you run, the less you'll wear out your body and Achilles tendon...

They are increasing exponentially.

After all, Liu Xiang's shot pushed himself to his limit.

The body's energy consumption must be greater than usual.

You can't use the usual method to do a simple reverse deduction.

I could feel the sound of breaking air behind me getting closer and closer.

The sound of spikes became clearer and clearer.

Liu Xiang looked ahead...

Suddenly made up my mind.

put all one's eggs in one basket.

There is no other way.

He wants to put aside all distractions.

No longer carefully protecting his right foot.

But it's the same as just now.

Full throttle.

This old car that has been repaired again and again...

Full throttle.

Moreover, Liu Xiang also added the knee strength which is rarely used in order to relax the body functions and Achilles tendon functions, or the rotational force obtained by the thigh flexors.

By doing this, the inertia time around the thigh can be reduced, which has the effect of increasing the angular velocity of the swinging leg.

This rotational force was told to him by Ralph Mann and Su Shen. If it can be utilized well, it can increase your overall sense of power.

If you do this, it will cause damage to your body.

It will also increase exponentially.

It’s too difficult.

It's not something that ordinary people can accomplish.

Even if you are in good health, if you don't lay a good foundation and don't combine all the muscles and small muscle groups in different aspects, you will be easily injured.

It is easy to be unable to withstand the added rotational force.

It is not recommended for people like Liu Xiang who have suffered serious injuries to use it, otherwise it will definitely aggravate their injuries.

Although Liu Xiang had this kind of training in daily life, he never used it once in the entire competition.

Including all previous World Championships.

After his comeback, he never used this technique.

Never added this rotational force to his running process.

But today.

He let go completely.

Merritt was chasing him very closely from behind. Because of his distraction and conservativeness just now, he had already lost half of his position to Merritt.

Now he has no more opportunities to make mistakes.

And he also has to make sure he is in the leading position after passing the last hurdle.

This is because……

If you want to fight for the final flat run.

He knew he was no match for Merritt.

Then you have to reserve some space for yourself.

and so……

Normally, no one recommends him to use this technology.

Mobilize the body's rotational ability to run between hurdles and attack hurdles.

It has also been installed on his body.

You won’t say that the feeling is very obvious after activation.

The whole body's sense of strength increased by three points out of thin air.

I had been in a slump, but after using this forbidden move, I was finally able to withstand Merritt's momentum of narrowing the gap.

The eighth column is right in front of you.

On Liu Xiang's side, he increased the rotational force, and when he pushed off the ground with his legs apart, he moved the swinging leg in front of his body. After his knee joint passed the hurdle, he extended his calf forward under the action of his quadriceps.

When the sole of the swinging leg approaches the railing, the striding leg, driven by the iliopsoas and other hip flexor muscles, flexes the thigh forward, and the hamstring muscles tighten the calf to flex at the knee joint. With the active work of the iliopsoas and other hip flexor muscles, a scissoring action is formed, with the knee leading and accelerating and pulling through the armpit to catch up with the swinging leg.

Take off.

The thigh and calf of the swinging leg are opened, the swinging leg is flexed and swung forward and upward quickly to a certain height, the thigh is actively braked, the calf extends the knee and ankle due to inertia, and then the thigh is actively pressed down quickly.

Pass the hurdle.

This completes a complete and coordinated "whipping" action.

Seeing Liu Xiang suddenly stabilized, Merritt gritted his teeth and followed him, at least in the flat running part.

He wants to make full use of his advantages.

After landing, the right Achilles tendon fluctuated again.

Bigger than before.

But Liu Xiang didn't care at all at this time.

Continue toward the ninth hurdle ahead.

Rushed over.

It's like forgetting your Achilles tendon reaction.

Just keep charging.

When Sun Haiping saw this, he couldn't hold back any longer. To the astonishment of Yuan Guoqiang and the other two, he suddenly shouted, "Go! Ah Xiang!!!"

“Don’t stop!!!”

Sun Haiping would be like this. At first, several people were a little stunned, but they were all professionals who had been immersed in track and field events for so many years, and finally they reacted at this time. They knew why Sun Haiping was so excited.

Because of Liu Xiang's current state, if he stops for a moment or his technical movements become a little less smooth, it is very likely that he will not be able to continue the inertia left over from this high-speed run.

And once it can no longer continue.

Just the current state of his Achilles tendon.

Even if a blocking injection has been given.

It will probably also be difficult to lift the right foot again to perform hurdle-type technical moves.

of course……

If you force yourself to continue doing this.

It's like gambling with your Achilles tendon.

At this time, Sun Haiping had completely understood Liu Xiang's determination.

He said that before the game.

As long as I can finish the run, it doesn’t matter.

It’s enough.

It's not just an angry remark.

It’s true, I have made up my mind.

even……

Just run this race as if it were the last race in your life.

  Andreas really didn't understand why Liu Xiang's movements had just gone wrong. This was obviously a reaction to his body being sick. How could he still be able to continue and even run smoothly again?

This guy's fighting spirit.

Is it so vigorous?

This, Andreas, or all the on-site coaches.

Everyone underestimated Liu Xiang.

This is also why Su Shen began to fully support Liu Xiang after asking him that day.

Because of everyone.

Su Shen was the first to understand.

Liu Xiang has already regarded this Olympic final as the last game of his life.

Even if various problems arise, he will still rush forward with all his strength.

There's no way it's going to stop.

Now he also added the rotational force to himself, so that while his body speed continued to be maintained, the load on his body continued to increase.

This is actually...

It's like racing against your own Achilles tendon.

Look at yourself reaching the finish line and your Achilles tendon can’t hold on.

Whoever shows up first.

Ninth column.

Take off.

Cross.

Just jump over it.

There is only one left!

There is only one left.

When Liu Xiang landed this time, the Achilles tendon of his right foot vibrated again.

This time it's more obvious than before.

But Liu Xiang no longer cared.

He had pushed his will and determination to a fever pitch. This pure and fiery emotion seemed to be palpable even to Merritt, who was not far behind him.

Just like this Oriental man from the 6th path at this moment.

He has lost his human rationality.

Let your animal nature completely dominate you.

The lower rail lands.

The swinging leg actively presses down, the striding leg accelerates and pulls up, and the hip is used as the axis to complete the scissoring and twisting step-changing action.

According to the post-match model analysis, Liu Xiang's landing speed was fast when he cleared the hurdle, the landing angle was large, the landing point was close to the projection point of the body's center of gravity, the support was stable, and the center of gravity was high.

Almost did what he was supposed to do.

Here you can see that the Achilles tendon is on the verge of collapse.

Merritt also actively presses down with his swinging leg, stretches at the hip joint, and contracts the gluteus maximus, hamstrings, and adductor magnus muscles on the same side of the movement direction of the two joints when they produce an explosion, pulling the thigh in the direction of the center of gravity. The faster the swinging leg lands, the faster the muscles contract, and the faster the swinging leg extensor muscles complete the supporting action.

This technical movement not only fully utilizes the strength and speed of the ankle flexor and knee extensor muscles, but also reduces the fluctuation of the center of gravity and unstable landing support, creating favorable conditions for smoothly transitioning to hurdle running.

While the hip flexor muscles continue to work, the pectineus, adductor longus, adductor brevis, gracilis and other muscles contract, and the thigh is adducted to lift the knee joint forward and upward, forming a flying posture of running with the thigh raised high, completing the action of changing steps of the lower limbs on the hurdle.

Merritt also played well. He saw that Liu Xiang was not in good condition, so he thought he should not lose to a person with health problems. Even so, some of the victory was unfair, but it was better than... not winning.

Otherwise it would be a laughing stock.

Merritt was also running faster and faster, but...

Liu Xiang just couldn't catch up with him.

Because every time he approaches during a level run.

When approaching the hurdle.

Liu Xiang can then fight back with his powerful hurdle-crossing rhythm.

Liu! You are injured and you still want to win???

Merritt roared internally.

At this time, there is only one column left.

Both of them started the final sprint.

When Merritt landed on his stride, his swinging leg swung forward from behind his body with his knees bent. When he entered the hurdle, his swinging leg's thigh and calf continued to fold and swing forward and upward.

Liu Xiang's body center of gravity moves forward along the trajectory formed by his take-off and leaping over the hurdle. When he jumps over the hurdle, the rotational force reaches its maximum value. He only relies on the coordination of the swinging leg, the taking-off leg and the upper limbs to make his body quickly cross the hurdle and land quickly.

After Merritt's leg leaves the ground, the calf of the swinging leg quickly extends forward, and when the heel of the swinging leg approaches the fence, the swinging leg is almost straight. At the same time, the upper body quickly leans forward, so that the chest is close to the thigh of the swinging leg.

Liu Xiang swings his leg and the opposite arm to drive his shoulder forward actively, forming a cross-twisting state between the shoulder and hip axes to maintain body balance.

At this time, the two people's straddle legs remain behind the body and form a large-scale leg-split movement with the swinging legs in front of the hurdle.

Amazingly consistent.

This shows that the technical movements of both players have reached the top in history at this stage.

It's so similar.

The second half of the hurdle.

After Merritt's swinging leg passes over the fence, he begins to actively press down. At this time, the starting leg bends the knee and abducts it and quickly pulls forward through the side of the body. When the starting leg is pulled forward, the calf is tightened so that the heel is close to the buttocks, the knee is higher than the ankle, and the toes are slightly tilted upward, forming a coordinated and powerful scissoring action with the downward pressure of the swinging leg.

Liu Xiang swings his leg and the opposite arm of his lower limbs to make a powerful swing to the side and back. When it is close to the lower side of the body, he bends his elbow and retracts it. The other arm swings forward and the swinging leg actively presses down, which will inevitably lift the upper body moderately. When the front sole of his swinging leg touches the ground, the knee joint is straight, and the ankle joint is used for cushioning, which can keep the body's center of gravity at a higher position.

Even so, the risks are greater and the physical stress is greater, but I am willing to do it.

In this way, Liu Xiang's upper body can still maintain a certain forward tilt when his swinging leg touches the ground.

As the leg is pulled forward in a large range, the body's center of gravity moves quickly past the support point.

There is almost no difference in the technical movements of the two people in this hurdle, and they are tit for tat.

No one got the upper hand!

Split leg movement.

The moment he landed.

The two of them were almost at the same time.

It can pre-stretch the muscles of the swinging leg and the striding leg.

This creates good conditions for the rapid cutting and twisting of the legs when going down the fence.

At this time, Merritt and Liu Xiang were doing the same thing.

  Only at the moment of falling, Liu Xiang made a change. He became bolder and actually used a swinging leg to almost straighten his knee joint when landing on the lower hurdle!

In this way, the extensor muscles involved in the back kick are already in a fully stretched state, while at the same time the striding leg is abducted and pulled.

In this way, the swinging leg and the cross-legged leg, which is different from the cross-step action in sprinting, is equivalent to reducing the leg lifting speed and the back-kicking force in disguise.

Allow yourself to compensate by fully utilizing the strength of the ankle and sole of the supporting leg to push back when landing, quickly pulling the hip forward with the striding leg, and swinging your arms back and forth.

It’s good, but…

Too bad for the knees.

Professional athletes generally don't dare to do this, and the faster you run and the smoother your hurdles are, the greater the pressure will be when you do this, as your knees will be almost straight when you land.

But Liu Xiang is now completely determined.

He doesn't care about that.

He just wants to win.

Those were his words from his last game.

He will do his best.

Use all your experience to help yourself win the final showdown.

At this time, Merritt finally panicked for the second time.

I don’t know if his mental pressure has reached its limit or he was frightened by Liu Xiang’s fierce landing operation.

Or maybe his kidneys, working in conjunction with the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves, have reached their physiological limits.

But no matter what.

Merritt's rhythm finally came down to Liu Xiang's handling of the last hurdle.

There was instability.

"It's over, it's over." Merritt's head coach Andreas Beem closed his eyes in pain and didn't even dare to look back.

As a result, after Liu Xiang landed, he had no feeling even though his bones seemed to have pierced his kneecap.

Him now.

It's just animal nature.

Just want to roar.

Just want to win.

  What pain?

It couldn't enter his consciousness at all.

The number plate 1356 flutters in the wind.

It was as if he was finally taking our entire nation into flight again.

On a short runway.

Take off again.

China Sports Channel.

"Liu Xiang, Liu Xiang is the first one to land!"

"He's still in the lead!" (Merritt seemed to stumble when he landed!)

"Liu Xiang has a chance!"

“The opportunity is right in front of us!”

"Liu Xiang sprints!"

"Sprint!"

"Gonna win!"

"Liu Xiang!!!"

The moment Liu Xiang crossed the finish line, feeling almost short of oxygen.

Yang Jian's voice also reached its peak, louder than Liu Xiang's ninth miracle in 07, and more emotional than Liu Xiang's championship in 04.

"WE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"12.90s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"A new Olympic record!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Liu Xiang won!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Liu Xiang won!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"We, won!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

He yelled these simple words, and his voice broke several times.

But Yang Jian didn't care at all.

Now he feels that he should express his truest emotions to the hundreds of millions of viewers watching the game in front of the TV.

The starting point of the field.

Sun Haiping was already in tears.

He doesn't cry often.

But this time.

The eye sockets could not hold back the tears.

But his voice was cheering powerfully, his expression was out of control, but it didn't matter.

Because of this moment.

Several domestic sports leaders around him.

He also lost the ability to control his facial expressions.

They shouted, hugged each other, roared, opened their eyes wide, and used all kinds of words that they couldn't even distinguish.

Splashing everywhere.

On the track.

After Liu Xiang crossed the finish line.

It's like a classic car that has lost its brakes.

I have already burned up everything I have.

Su Shen noticed that Liu Xiang seemed to be unable to stop the car.

He stretched out his hand to stop it.

The moment he blocked it, before he could even open his mouth, Liu Xiang's face turned red and white, excited and weak, like brown sugar added to tofu pudding, and he whispered, "Help me."

"I can't stand still."

"What's wrong? Are you hurt, Brother Xiang." Su Shen immediately frowned.

"Nothing, Xiao Tian." Liu Xiang was just in a good mood, and said casually in a light voice: "The Achilles tendon may be broken."

Su Shen was stunned.

But despite such a horrific thing, Liu Xiang had only a smile on his face.

It was as if telling him that it was just an insignificant broken shoelace.

Rather than the Achilles tendon that connects the flesh and blood of the foot.

"Help me, Xiao Tian, ​​let me look handsome for the interview."

"After all, I am an Olympic champion again now, right?"

A simple sentence: "I am the Olympic champion again."

Su Shen was so emotional that he almost couldn't hold himself back.

This man.

Dream come true.

Or it can be said to be a dream of the whole of China in 2012.

Dream come true.

PS: It was almost 15,000 words again. I wrote about 30,000 words in 24 hours and revised it several times, which took some time.

  Now I've said it all in one breath. Okay, I'm going to take a nap. I'll write when I wake up. Sleep, sleep. I'm so sleepy after not sleeping all night. Fortunately, I have a rest today, otherwise I would die hehe~~~~~~~~~~~~

Huhuhu~~~ZZZ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Let’s meet again~~~~~~~~
