Following in Bolt's footsteps

Chapter 326 "Olympic Gold Final Preview"

July 7, Monaco, Stade Louis II.

As the penultimate stop of the Diamond League before the Beijing Winter Olympics this year, today's Louis II Stadium has attracted the attention of track and field enthusiasts from all over the world. Countless track and field experts, athletes, and fans are looking forward to this game.

The weather in Monaco today is cloudy, and thick clouds are accumulated over Monaco. Although it is not a dark cloud, it is better than a dark cloud.

Dull and hot, this atmosphere permeates the Louis II Stadium, and it is urgent to ignite it with a torch.

At 20:03 in the evening, the first fire started to ignite.

Tonight’s first track event—the men’s 400-meter hurdles began. The Norwegian star Carsten Warholm, who came eight days ago with a new world record of 46 seconds, appeared on the seventh track, and his wild attitude was instantly Cheers from the crowd inside the Stade Louis II.

Warholm's strength is incomparable. After storming the first hurdle, he ran at a high speed. Only 8.7 seconds passed, he directly tied Bailey JR in the 8th lane. It's not over!

Warholm raced ahead all the way into the final straight, with no rivals within seven steps of him except Dosandos.

47 seconds 08, although it did not show the level of less than 47 seconds in the previous Oslo station, but this result is enough to stand out from the crowd, and also broke the record of the 400-meter hurdles in Monaco.

20点35分，蒂莫西·切鲁约特第一个完成了冲线，将今年的男子1500米世界最好成绩刷新到了3分28秒28。

又过了20分钟，漫长的男子3000米障碍项目的终点线迎来了两个身位差距极小的运动员，埃塞俄比亚的拉梅查·吉尔玛以8分07秒75的成绩率先冲线，肯尼亚选手亚伯拉罕·基比沃特仅仅只落后0.06秒，以8分07秒81的成绩屈居亚军。

在此之前，2021年的男子3000米障碍世界最好成绩为8分08秒54，也就是说这两名实力相差极小的选手“同时”刷新了WL。

The fiery atmosphere created by the men's 3000-meter obstacle has not yet completely subsided, and the men's 800-meter event added a new bundle of firewood to the fire, which made people's heart and lungs burn.

Amidst the cheers and cheers of the audience, Botswana player Nigel Amos became more and more courageous in the battle, and began to exert strength in the last 80 meters, surpassing Kenyan player Emmanuel Kipcuri Ko Marco Arrop of Lille and Canada broke the world's best time with a time of 1:42.

Women's 1500 meters, another explosion!

Kenyan female player Faith KIPYEGON broke the world's best time with a time of 3:51. This is already the 07th WL that appeared in today's Monaco race, and all these events are without exception. Long-distance running project.

A tournament record, the world's best results in six seasons, is worthy of the Monaco Diamond League, known as the "Winter Beijing Olympics preview" before the game, and the audience in the stadium is increasingly looking forward to the next men's 100-meter battle .

At 21:25 in the evening, the sky in Monaco had already dimmed, and the night was approaching. The lights in every corner of the stadium had already been turned on, illuminating the entire stadium as brightly as day.

IFFA's on-site video camera slides slowly on the electric rabbit track, moving towards the [-]-meter starting line, and then the camera switches to the front of the contestants. The face of the Italian handsome Philip Totu appears in the camera screen, and the live host synchronizes Start the introduction:
"Route 1, Italy—Philip Totu!"

"Row 2, Canada—André de Grasse!"

"Row 3, Moldy Country - Ronnie Baker!"

"Rail 4, South Africa—Arkani Sibini!"

"Fifth Road, Moldy Country - Cui Wang Brommel!"

"Row 6, Moldy Country—Fred Corley!"

"Row 7, Italy - Lamont Marcel Jacobs!"

"Row 8, France—Jimmy Wycourt!"

After the introduction, the camera switches quickly, and Sibney and Brommel are left and right respectively.In fact, the audience who watched the live broadcast understood that although there were two people on the screen, it was actually Brommel.

2021赛季的第一个10秒内的WL创造者是苏炳天，成绩为9秒96（+0.6m/s），4月24日，王者归来的吴子义将WL大幅度刷新到9秒82（-0.9m/s）。

People thought that after Coleman was suspended, no one could approach or even break through this result. After all, since 2017, there has been no second athlete except Wu Ziyi and Coleman who can break the 9 mark.

In the past four years, the two results closest to the 9 mark are:

9 seconds 83 (+1.6m/s), 2018 Diamond League Eugene Station, creator - Ronnie Baker;
9 seconds 83 (+0.6m/s), 2019 Doha World Championships, creator - Su Bingtian.

Professionals generally believe that it is difficult for the extremely promising Su Bingtian to continue to break through. After all, the conditions for the outbreak of the future are more stringent than those of the late-stage players.

果不其然，在6月11日的中国奥运会选拔赛决赛上，苏炳天再次跑出9秒92的好成绩，但结合之前的一枪9秒96、一枪9秒94，有专业人士发现苏炳天似乎转变了跑法。

三次成绩的分段数据分别为：9秒96（6.45+3.51）、9秒94（6.44+3.50）、9秒92（6.42+3.50）。

Compared with Su Bingtian's 6.40 and 6.38 in the first 60 meters, the data of these three shots has obviously become more balanced.Many European and American analysts pointed out that although Su Bingtian can more easily stabilize the rhythm of the whole process after abandoning his proud future ability, it is difficult to break through 9 seconds.

大部分的观点都认为：在风速≤+1.0m/s的条件下，苏炳天的百米极限成绩应该会9秒88~9秒90左右。

而另一位曾跑出9秒83的罗尼·贝克，本赛季的表现也非常不错，在美锦赛暨奥运会选拔赛上先后跑出了9秒88（+1.9m/s）和9秒85（+0.8m/s）的好成绩。

However, these two results are a bit inferior to those of Cui Wang Brommel in the fifth track.

It is now July 7th, and there are only 9 days left before the opening of the Beijing Winter Olympics. After Wu Ziyi ran 11 seconds, this year's world best result in the men's 9 meters has undergone another change.

And this time the promotion came from - Cui Wang Brommel!
On June 6th, Miramar, Florida, the moldy country, in the men's 5m final of the NACAC New Life Invitational Tournament, Cui Wang Brommel ran 100 seconds 1.5 to refresh the WL under the condition of a strong tailwind of +9m/s, And also refreshed his personal best.

On June 6, Hayward Stadium, Eugene, Oregon, USA, in the men's 20-meter final of the US Championships and Olympic Trials, Trivan Brommel ran 100 seconds 9 (+80m/s) to become a mold China's new generation of 0.8-meter champion, and called Wu Ziyi from the air.

At that time, the host of the U.S. Championships asked like this-"Congratulations Brommel, you have become the new national champion and created the best result in the world this year. After that, you will lead the American Athletics In your opinion, who is your biggest opponent in this Olympic Games?"

Brommel: "Obviously a Chinese Uzi."

Host: "Oh, but if I remember correctly, he only ran 9 seconds 9 in the Chinese Olympic Trials 86 days ago, and the wind speed was the same as this one, and he didn't even run in the subsequent 200-meter race What do you think about this matter?"

Brommel's answer was: "No way, he is the world record holder in the 100 meters and the men's 200 meters champion in the Rio Olympics. Of course he has the privilege to do so. But we in the United States are different, even if You are an Olympic champion, even if you are the national record holder, you must participate in the trials, if you do not get the top three, you will not be eligible to go to Dongjing."

Host: "So are you ready to beat him at the Olympics?"

Brommel: "I am ready to meet all challenges. You know, everyone wants to become another Olympic men's [-]-meter flying man after Bolt. On this gold medal with the highest gold content, [Tui Wang Bu Rommel] is my lifelong dream, and it is also what I will definitely do!"
