Sprint: This champion is a bit weird

Chapter 73 Lausanne!

July 7, Lausanne, Switzerland!

It's already the 11th day since he arrived in Europe. Wen Hao's physical condition has already recovered, but there are still no top events to participate in.

However, the quota for the London Athletics Super Grand Prix on July 7 has been determined. Like Athens, it is a two-gun schedule.

As for Liu Xiang, he completed his third game of the season in the Paris Golden League three days ago.

13 seconds 14. Compared with the two games in Osaka and Eugene, the performance continued to improve, but the final ranking was not very good.

In the Paris Golden League, Liu Xiang's strong opponents include American players Alan Johnson, Trammell, and Ranold, French player Ducoure, and Cuban teenager Dairon Robles.

Alan Johnson withdrew from the competition due to injury. Trammell and Ranold performed well and won the championship and runner-up respectively with times of 13 and 06 seconds.

Cuban teenager Dairon Robles finished third with a time of 13 seconds, slightly 11 seconds ahead of Liu Xiang.

After the results came out, some Western media and domestic insiders began to exert their efforts. In their reports or comments, they secretly questioned Liu Xiang between the lines.

In fact, as early as last year's World Championships in Helsinki, Liu Xiang suffered a certain amount of pressure from public opinion on the Internet.

But at that time, he was the runner-up in the World Championships after all, and the doubts and slanders from the handful of gutter rats on the Internet would not affect the official tone and the public's pursuit.

But at the moment, Liu Xiang's condition "continues to be sluggish" and he even lost to Robles, a young player who is under 20 years old. The flies are hungry and swarmed over the wounds of the warriors.

Having experienced this kind of thing a lot, it’s natural that it’s not strange.

Anyway, this wave of public opinion oppression at home and abroad has not had any impact on Liu Xiang himself.

Because these days, he has devoted himself to training.

The joining of Wen Hao and Li Qing opened the door to a new horizon for Liu Xiang and Sun Hailian.

Most of the technologies required for the 110-meter hurdles are very different from the 100-meter event. In fact, the relationship between the two events is not as good as the relationship between the 100-meter and the long jump.

For an elite hurdler, the number of steps in the 110-meter hurdles is basically fixed.

Whether you are over 1 meters tall or close to 7 meters tall like Liu Xiang.

From the start to the first hurdle, it is either seven or eight steps.

The number of steps between the 10 columns is also fixed at four.

The distance from the last hurdle to the finish line is 14.02 meters, and the number of steps used by most elite athletes is six.

Either finish in 49 steps or finish in 50 steps. These are the limitations of the 110-meter hurdles sport.

The sample span of height steps for elite athletes in the 100-meter event is much richer than that in the 110-meter hurdles.

For elite athletes who are 1 meters tall and above, the number of finishing steps is usually between 9 and 41 steps;
  身高1米8~1米9的精英运动员，完赛步数通常在43~45步之间；
  身高1米7~1米8的精英运动员，完赛步数通常在45~48步之间。

Diversity means more possibilities!
  "Brother Xiang, Lausanne is your blessed place. Are you ready to take off tonight?"

After accompanying Liu Xiang to complete the pre-match warm-up activation, Wen Hao panted slightly and asked Liu Xiang. Liu Xiang just smiled: "Haha, I've only been to this place three times before, why is it a blessed place?"

Four years ago, Liu Xiang, who was not yet 19 years old at the time, came to Lausanne for the first time.

At that time, the name of the event was still the "Lossa Track and Field Grand Prix", which lacked the word "super" than it is now, and the level was still A-level.

That night, with the blessing of a strong tailwind of +1.6m/s, Liu Xiang showed his bravery and beat many strong opponents to win the championship with a time of 13 seconds, and broke the world youth record set by Nehemiah in 12.

But now, Liu Xiang's world youth record has been broken - it was Dairon Robles' 13 seconds in the Paris Golden League three days ago.

And Wen Hao also knows that at tonight's Lausanne Super Grand Prix and at the World Track and Field Finals in Stuttgart in September, Robles will set this record to 9 and 13 respectively!

Wen Hao had no good impression of Robles at all.

At the 2011 Daegu World Championships in his previous life, facing Liu Xiang who was pressing hard and about to overtake him, Robles shamefully used the "tactics" of a thug, causing Liu Xiang to lose balance at the last hurdle. A champion at your fingertips.

In middle-distance running, some athletes will use tactics to block the space for athletes behind them to catch up and surpass.

The premise of this tactic is not to have physical contact with the opponent, or not to have unnecessary physical contact.

As for Robles' behavior of deliberately using obstruction movements to interfere with his opponents, it is absolutely against the Olympic spirit and should be spurned!
  "It's hard to say. Anyway, I have researched and found that the track in Lausanne is a bit evil." Wen Hao sat down on the lawn and said with a smile.

"The higher the altitude, the thinner the air, and the smaller the air resistance compared to plain areas. Lausanne is 600 meters above sea level, so it seems to have little impact, but when many factors are added up, the probability of achieving good results is much greater."

"Of course, whether an athlete can create good results depends most on his own condition. So, brother Xiang, how do you feel about your condition today?"

"state."

Liu Xiang took a deep breath and jumped on the spot twice.

An athlete's competitive state can be seen from multiple angles.

After Wen Hao arrived, whether it was Liu Xiang's own feelings or the training data recorded by Sun Haixi, they all reflected one situation: Liu Xiang's condition is getting better and better!

First, the arrival of Wen Hao gave Liu Xiang a stable training partner who he could confide in, and his tense physical and mental state was relieved.

Second, Sun Haili and Li Qing had exchanges and studies, slightly adjusting some training details for Liu Xiang, and improving Liu Xiang's starting technique and flat running technique while trying to ensure that the original hurdle technique did not decline.

Due to the short time, Sun Haili had not yet had time to formulate a training plan for Liu Xiang to enhance his flat running ability during this week.

But starting technology has been put on the agenda and has made initial improvements.

In terms of technical movements, since they require the cooperation of strength training, they have yet to be designed.

But in terms of technical parameter details, after fully analyzing Liu Xiang's physical data, Li Qing helped him improve the distance between the front and rear starting blocks and the knee joint angles of both legs during preparation.

This kind of technical parameter details, even if they are perfect, can actually bring an improvement of 0.01 seconds to athletes at best.

It seems a bit Versailles
