Chapter 1614 Great Master? Thats it? (Ill ask for a vote in 2023)(2/3)
Of course, the same situation also occurs with Liu Xiang. Many people actually think that Liu Xiang has always been a late-range type. In fact, this is because Liu Xiang's first and second, the later-range itself is extremely strong, at the top 5 levels in history, and secondly, the rhythm is extremely stable. Therefore, there are often turnaround scenes in the confrontation of strong people and people's impressions. But many people may not know that Liu Xiang's future is actually equally strong. In Athens, even ran out of 60 meters, with a score of about 7.39 seconds. You have to know how exaggerated the future of this result is, even surpassing the 60 meters before Robles' 110-meter hurdles.
Although the 60-meter hurdle and the 110-meter hurdle are slightly different, it also shows that Liu Xiang had terrible ability when he was young.
But now as he gets older, his body's original skills have declined, which makes his future success seem to be getting stronger and stronger.
Therefore, theoretically speaking, these top players have the possibility of opening 12.80 seconds in the competition. But this requires the right time, place, people, and the best sense of rhythm that day.
But almost no one can collect all these conditions.
In history, only Merritt has achieved a close approach.
Even so, it is already quite amazing.
The final results are as follows:
Liu Xiang first, 7 seconds 53, Q
Andrew Pozzi 2nd, 7 seconds 56, Q
Emmanuele Abate 3rd, 7 seconds 62, Q
Konstantin Shabanov fourth, 7 seconds 67, Q
Maxim Linsha 5th, 7.72.
Balaz Baji 6th, 7.76.
Ben Reynolds 7th, 7.72.
Jackson Giniz 8th, 7 seconds 80.
He participated in the Indoor World Championships five times and reached the finals five times.
After this game, the large screen that was just slowing down the replay of the scene suddenly started to play Liu Xiang's picture.
And with some text introduction.
At the Atakoy Track and Field Arena in Istanbul, Turkey, Liu advanced to the final decisive battle without any suspense.
This means that Liu Xiang has become Colin Jackson, a famous player in the Kitty Eagle Country, known as the Century King, after the world record holder of the event, and has appeared in the second most 60-meter hurdles in the Indoor World Championships, even surpassing Liu Xiang's own idol Alan Johnson four times.
Although Liu missed the 2006 Moscow Indoor Championships due to a foot injury, he reached the final again two years later and won the gold medal. Liu maintained a perfect record of all five appearances in the finals. Before that, the famous Kitty Hawks player Colin Jackson set a record of all six participations in the finals, and won 1 gold and 3 silver. In addition, Olicas of Latvia also appeared in the finals five times five times, but in addition to winning a bronze medal at the 2008 Valencia World Championships, he failed to get on the podium again. In that event, he was tied for third place with Russian player Porisov.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! In addition, Liu Xiang’s current honor of two golds, one bronze and one silver, as long as he wins the gold medal again in this event, he will be the well-deserved indoor competition king.
None of them.
After all, although Colin Jackson entered the finals six times in this event, he only had one gold and three silver medals.
Liu Xiang now most people think that Colin Jackson is suitable for the indoor competition, although there are some European and American feelings in it.
Otherwise, if Liu Xiang had one more gold, he would have beaten the opponent's three silver medals.
However, as long as this Istanbul Indoor World Championships continues to be won in two hours, the honor of the three golds will undoubtedly beat any opponent.
No matter what you say, it's useless.
In this way, Liu Xiang will also become the first in the indoor short stride and deserves the best.
Even if there is no strongest record of 60 meters, it can still rely on the stable three gold honors to defeat other competitors.
In the timeline in Su Shenji, because Liu Xiang only had one gold medal in the indoor competition, he could not catch up with these people. Naturally, he did not have the extra motivation or publicity, so he wanted to do this.
But on this timeline, Liu Xiang not only won three consecutive championships at the IAAF World Track and Field Championships outdoors. He has also completed two gold medals in indoor competitions.
If you can win this one.
Especially this year, basically no opponent gives away one for free...
Let’s make up for the indoor and outdoor world championships, which are all three consecutive championships, and then come to the London Olympics.
Maybe it's also an inspiration for his own beliefs and designs.
So in this game, he obviously valued this indoor World Championship more than he did on the original timeline.
Not to mention that in this world, the foundation of track and field is better and stronger than in the previous life. In addition, the 60-meter indoor competition, because of Su Shen's popularity, and the ultimate melee between Powell and Bolt, the fame and ratings of the Indoor World Championships have also been greatly improved.
The clear ratings of the game will increase, and the influence will naturally increase.
The attractiveness to athletes will naturally increase with the flow of water.
These are all positive correlations.
It is reasonable that Liu Xiang will pay more attention to this Istanbul Indoor World Championships.
How could an athlete not have the desire to win?
As the world's top athlete, Liu Xiang's desire to win is actually stronger than anyone else, and he is not inferior to Su Shen who reopened.
Therefore, when Dou Ri came to the interview, he just said a few simple words and left without any hesitation.
I quickly went to the lounge to rest.
This is to make his body better recover. Secondly, he also wants to take a look at what Merritt, which Su Shen emphasized in the semi-finals, means.
After Liu Xiang went down, 10 minutes later, the second group of athletes was ready, and the final field trial and starting machine debugging ended. Everyone stood in front of their own starting machine.
"Axiang, you're so anxious. Which player do you want to pay attention to?" Sun Haiping turned on the TV and watched the broadcast as soon as Liu Xiang came in. He was also a little curious because it seemed that Liu Xiang had no opponent.
"Xiao Tian said that this time someone sent by the US team has extremely strong game state and strength, and has made a great breakthrough in winter training, but I don't know who it is yet." After Liu Xiang sat down, he said to Sun Haiping while receiving standardized physiotherapy from the team and relaxing, "Didn't I take a closer look at who it is?"
"Xiao Tian really said that? Does he have any tricks to inquire about the latest internal news?" Sun Haiping immediately took it seriously when he heard that Su Shen said it, and asked near the TV: "But no matter how I look at this group of contestants, I don't seem to have the same ability?"
"I think so too, but Xiaotian, you know too. If he hadn't received the exact news, he would definitely not have told me like this, so we'd better take a look and be mentally prepared."
"Well, if Xiaotian specifically told you, you really need to pay attention."
After the two of them finished speaking, they saw that the game on TV was about to begin.
And both of them looked at the 6th.
Because according to Su Shen.
If it is an American player.
Then this game is actually only one observation target left...
That is, Merritt, the "older newcomer" on the 6th.
Could it be him?
Liu Xiang stared at the 6th inner thoughts and said slightly.
“set.”
Before the gunfire sounded, someone had already rushed out of the starting line.
"Hmm? Is this a rush?"
Because Liu Xiang has always been staring at the 6th lane, his first reaction is that the American player in the 6th lane took the lead.
Everyone in the audience, including the audience, did not hear the gunshots. Then, almost instantly, someone found that the timer had begun to move. At this moment, Merritt, who was the fastest-reacting, rushed out, but was immediately called back by the recall sounded on the scene.
The referee in a mess gave Merritt the order to get out, and one of them shook at the Americans with a red card, which meant that he was sent off directly.
"This..." Sun Haiping was stunned when he saw this, and said, "Is it the American player Xiaotian has brought us attention?"
"I don't know." Liu Xiang didn't know what to say. After all, he was already rushing to the point, so he could only say with a little brainlessness: "Maybe it's just too nervous."
"Xiaotian also has times when he makes a wrong judgment." Sun Haiping smiled a little relieved and said, if Merritt was sent off, even if he was really in a state of courage and breakthrough during the winter training, it would not pose a threat to Liu Xiang's game.
Without Merritt Liu Xiang's victory this time, it would be a foregone conclusion.
But soon after, Merritt returned to the field.
According to a reporter on the TV, it was said that because the speaker on the starting machine did not give the sound of the starting gun, everyone did not hear the gunshot, and there was a strange scene in which the timer began to move.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! This situation is considered a mistake by the organizing committee of the competition and is not counted in the rushing stage.
"Can this still happen?" Sun Haiping came on stage again after seeing Merritt go down: "It's obvious that the gun ran out without thinking about it. If you turn off the timer, you can't get out without robbing the gun. That must be a rush to run."
"Forget it, master, the US team has always had privileges internationally. Even if it is a relay foul, it can be played separately. We can't compare to this." Liu Xiang reacted first. He did not play again for Merritt's loss and regain, and felt that there were too many mood fluctuations.
Anyway, he is ready to observe it.
Nothing serious.
"Well, okay." Sun Haiping didn't react when he saw Liu Xiang, and there was no need to worry about it anymore. Anyway, even if Meritbo was eliminated, he thought that the strongest person on the field was still Liu Xiang.
After all, Merritt's best result has not been opened for 7 seconds and 45.
The strength with Liu Xiang is now within 7.40 seconds, and is not on the same level.
So even if you stand on the court again, it doesn't matter much.
This episode made the scene booed. Merritt, who was already scared and sweating, had a nervous expression on his face after receiving a positive answer that he could return to the track, and no longer had the ease he had just now.
The second start, after the referee prepared the command, he fired the starting gun without any gap.
Compared with the previous slow gun start, this game is extremely fast.
Many people are not ready.
Especially Merritt, who almost played red card just now, didn't dare to react. When he saw the starting reaction, he was the last one.
To be continued...
