The Su God of the Reopening of the Sports Arena

Chapter 1961 Stealing the limelight of the -meter race! Super results are coming!

The 2012 IAAF Diamond League Brussels will see fierce competition, and the men's 110m hurdles, which is packed with top athletes, is undoubtedly one of the most exciting events. London Olympic runner-up Merritt made a bold statement before the race that he would aim for a world record of 12 seconds.

Competition between masters is more likely to produce good results, and Merritt once again aimed at the world record. "I think the world record is not out of reach, as long as the right conditions are met, of course I have to stay on the field." In Lausanne, Switzerland, Merritt was penalized for false start, and Richardson won the championship with 13 seconds.

"I have to find my own rhythm, just like I have been doing this season, and maybe... it will come." The current world record is 2006 seconds set by Liu Xiang in 12, and Merritt's best result this year has also been broken through 85 seconds.

In the case of Liu Xiang injured.

The media acknowledged that no one posed a threat to him.

However, without Liu Xiang's intensity, everyone doubted whether they could achieve world-class results.

But some people.

There is no need for any big competition stimulation.

On the contrary, it can produce results.

Powell and Merritt.

They are all somewhat similar to this type.

for them.

Can I get results?

The opponent is not relevant.

It mainly depends on whether you are leading.

See how far ahead you are.

The more ahead you are.

The more awesome it is.

In Birmingham, the headwind was 0.9 meters per second. This time Merritt did not make any mistakes. His start was simple and quick, and his running skills were excellent again. However, Richardson also performed at a very high level in this station. The two fought evenly throughout the whole process, and finally Merritt won a little in the sprint.

He won the championship with a time of 12 seconds and broke the record for the event. This was the sixth time Merritt had broken the 95 mark this year.

The results in the past few months have been terrible.

理查德森以12秒98获得亚军，并平了他个人最好成绩，理查德森在今年一共跑出3次12秒98。美国老将奥利弗以13秒28获得第三，奥运第三、牙买加新人帕奇蒙特途中失误，最后仅以13秒76获得第八。

Then to Brussels.

  The race once again brought together the strongest lineup of men's 110m hurdles today. In addition to Merritt, Richardson and Parchmont also came to compete, as well as the American star Oliver and the Russian rookie Shubenkov who performed outstandingly this year. Merritt was arranged in the sixth lane today, while Richardson was in the fifth lane. Before the start, Merritt raised his head slightly to look at the finish line. The wind speed during the race was 0.3 meters per second. After the gun went off, the two started quite smoothly today. Merritt's reaction time was 0.145 seconds, and Richardson's was 0.147 seconds. The rhythm and pace of the first seven steps were very good, and the two took the lead at the first hurdle!

Soon the race entered into a two-person duel mode. Merritt's performance today was jaw-dropping. During the run, all of Merritt's technical aspects were performed to perfection, and he passed every hurdle smoothly in the most neat and tidy manner. Richardson could barely keep up with the first three hurdles, but then he inevitably began to fall behind. Halfway through the race, Merritt was clearly running in the front!

There was no suspense in the following battle. The unstoppable Merritt did not dare to slack off. He rushed across the finish line at the highest speed. The initial screen display was 12 seconds.

Later adjusted to 12 seconds.

But no matter which result it was, Merritt set a new world record with a huge advantage. He raised his hands high to celebrate that he finally broke the world record in this event.

理查德森以13秒05获得亚军，后程能力出色的帕奇蒙特以13秒14获得第三，奥利弗以13秒21获得第5。值得一提的是，南非选手福里虽然只以13秒24获得第6，但他创造了非洲纪录。

2012 was Merritt's breakout year. Including today's race, he ran under 8 seconds eight times in a year, becoming the athlete with the most times in a single year. After the event switched to electronic timing to confirm world records in the 13s, Merritt was only the eighth athlete to hold the world record. The first six were American Milburn, Cuban Casanas, American Nehemia, American Kim Dom, Kitty Hawk Colin Jackson, and Chinese Liu Xiang.

"I just hope to finish the last stop of this year's Diamond League with a perfect result of running under 13 seconds. I can't believe that I ran such a fast result. When I crossed the finish line and looked at the time shown on the scoreboard, I was also shocked!" Merritt said after the game.

At the same time, Merritt also said: "I am very happy that I was able to successfully overcome the injury and then unleash all my potential energy. After the injury, many people told me that I should give up and find an ordinary job that suits me better." With Liu Xiang injured and Roberts and others in poor form, Merritt almost dominated the league's 110-meter hurdles this season, except for the Olympics. He exclaimed: "This is the first time I can have such a perfect performance. This season is my best season."

"I don't have much impression of the race, but I know it was perfect. I think my start felt good, and I was very close to the hurdles when I jumped over them, which was different from the previous races." Merritt added, "Although I believe I can break the world record, I thought my limit was 12 seconds before. I dreamed of running to 85 seconds, and my mobile phone password is also this. Liu Xiang is my goal. Now before I pack my luggage and go home, I'm afraid I have to change my mobile phone password first."

Judging from the starting reaction data released by the race organizing committee, although Merritt created an amazing result, his reaction speed of 0.145 seconds only ranked third. South African runner Fury became the fastest runner with 0.133 seconds. His result of 13 seconds not only set a personal best, but also broke the African record.

Liu Xiang was eating at this time.

After the Olympics, he actually didn't pay much attention to this event. Besides, after the Olympics, everyone's condition generally declines.

It will be difficult to get good grades.

But right now.

He suddenly received a call from his Xiangzhi team.

I thought I was negotiating with him about some advertising contract.

Little did he know that as soon as he picked up the phone he heard a piece of news that shocked him -

Brother Xiang.

Merritt.

Merritt, he broke your world record.

Liu Xiang was a little dazed.

It's not that he thinks his records won't be broken. Given Merritt's condition, he thinks he has a chance to break the world record.

But I didn't expect it to be so fast.

And it will also appear after the Olympics.

"How much did you run?" Liu Xiang switched the TV channel to the sports channel, and soon he saw the news being broadcast on the TV channel.

Almost at the same time as the phone came out -

12 seconds 80.

He actually ran 12 seconds???

  The world record was improved by 0.05 seconds in one go?

Liu Xiang was also a little confused after seeing the results.

Because to be honest, he didn't expect such a result.

He thought that even he would find it difficult to escape.

Or it could be said that it was impossible for me to escape at the moment.

If Merritt was in this state in the Olympic finals this year...

That might put more pressure on me.

Sun Haiping also called at this time, and it seemed that he wanted to comfort Liu Xiang, but after Liu Xiang was shocked at first, he turned on the computer to find the video, played it once, and said to the phone: "Master, his run was really perfect."

“No wonder Xiao Tian asked us to pay attention to him.”

"It looks like we are really lucky."

Sun Haiping was still frightened when he heard this.

This result is terrible.

It was basically a result he couldn't even imagine now.

He also doesn't think any of the recent batch of athletes can come close to that achievement.

He originally thought that Liu Xiang could maintain this time of 12 seconds for a long time.

I didn't expect it to be broken so quickly.

Just like what Liu Xiang said.

Fortunately, he did not show this state in the Olympics.

of course.

In fact, they forgot everything.

Everyone was shocked by Merritt's result.

In fact, when Merritt fought against the strong.

Especially when playing against a player with an extremely stable rhythm.

In fact, his record is not outstanding.

This outstanding meaning is that it is difficult for him to perform at his expected level.

Therefore, this is why he basically cannot win against Liu Xiang.

The previous life was even worse.

Until Liu Xiang ruptured his Achilles tendon at the 2012 London Olympics, he faced all of Liu Xiang's 110-meter hurdles...

No victory.

Never won a single game.

Including 2012 when he was in the hottest form.

Haven't won either.

That's why Su Shen said Liu Xiang ran away with him.

Even if Merritt is in better shape.

It doesn't necessarily mean you can't win.

This is the charm of competitive sports.

It doesn't mean that if you are in better condition, you will definitely win.

When it is possible to compete on the same field.

You will encounter all kinds of uncontrollable factors.

Any point.

All of these will affect the performance of the straight track event. But for now.

Merritt's 12 seconds is terrible.

It made everyone a little dizzy.

"Okay, Master, I think I have to send a message of blessing, otherwise it would seem that I am too narrow-minded." After Liu Xiang recovered from his shock, he said something with his own Xiang-style humor to ease the silent atmosphere.

"Let's talk again."

"I'm very lucky, aren't I, Master?"

“Once a world record is broken, it’s broken.”

"Anyway, I've already won the Olympic gold medal."

"Anyway, the Olympic record is still in my hands."

"I'm not greedy. I think being able to do this is the best reward."

"I have no regrets."

Hearing Liu Xiang say this, Sun Haiping could only nod.

Furthermore, it is true from another angle. No matter how good your performance is, the Olympic gold medal still belongs to Liu Xiang, and he defeated him in the same competition. The fact that he did not entrust anyone to participate further demonstrates Liu Xiang's extraordinaryness.

Furthermore, for the vast majority of Chinese people.

Olympic gold medal is more important.

at this point.

Sun Haiping knows it better than anyone else.

So in comparison.

It would be most appropriate to win the gold medal at the London Olympics and end the year with a gold medal.

I'm thinking too much and I'm indeed a bit greedy.

After hearing Liu Xiang's words, Sun Haiping calmed down a lot and smiled, "Yes, you beat him in the Olympic final anyway, that's enough."

"We've already held world records before, so it doesn't matter."

After Liu Xiang hung up the phone, he took out his tablet computer and prepared to post congratulatory messages on his various social media platforms.

Hand on screen.

Liu Xiang calmly typed out a paragraph:

  12 is too perfect! It's incredible! He pushed the 80-meter hurdles into a new era! Shocked, excited and thrilled! Salute to the great Merritt!

History is so coincidental.

The words he typed here were exactly the same as what Su Shen had seen in his previous life.

That’s his current mentality.

I'm afraid it's different than the last time I typed this.

Now he is the Olympic champion and he has also defeated Merito head-on.

Your mentality will undoubtedly be more peaceful.

The blessing will also be more thorough.

After thinking about it, Liu Xiang added a small torch pattern after this text.

It means that the torch has been passed on.

After all, Merritt said in front of so many people that his previous mobile phone unlocking code was 12 seconds.

This is the world record held by Liu Xiang.

Since people say that they regard him as an idol, he should naturally return the favor.

Besides, he did win an Olympic gold medal.

There isn't too much mental instability.

The most that happened is that the world record was taken away, which is a bit regrettable.

"Thank you Liu for your blessing! I have always regarded you as the best hurdler and my own idol!"

"I really hope you can overcome your injury and we can fight again in next year's World Championships!"

"Give me a chance to defeat you in a head-on competition."

Liu Xiang smiled when he saw this, and also typed a few words on the computer screen:

"Then I guess there's no hope for you. I've already retired."

"Our final battle is destined to be in London. I am destined to be the gold medalist and you are destined to be the silver medalist."

Merritt: ...

Angry.

But he really had no chance to fight against Liu Xiang.

He actually has some regrets.

Fortunately, in this London Bowl.

They also presented the strongest short-distance duel in Olympic history.

Besides, after Liu Xiang retired, Merritt believed that he would have plenty of opportunities in the future.

None of the others could pose a threat to him.

Roberts was also injured.

Merritt thought he was invincible.

He will surely sweep all the medals in major competitions in recent years.

But sometimes fate is so strange.

It’s so amazing that when you’re at your peak, you don’t know what will happen next.

Let us congratulate Merritt, who lost to Liu Xiang in the Olympics, for successfully breaking the world record.

He is definitely the second best short stride athlete this season.

Most of the Chinese people who were having dinner almost laughed out the food in their mouths.

It seems that in front of the foreign media who are praising Merritt.

The Chinese Sports Channel also knows how to protect its athletes.

Such a transformation.

It will undoubtedly attract domestic audiences who watch and like sports.

More accepting.

More uplifting.

Our athletics has stood up.

I will no longer always act according to the opinions of foreigners.

otherwise.

The efforts of people like Liu Xiang and Su Shen.

It's all in vain.
