Chapter 1618 This opponent will be the strongest one in your life
The women's short span started first, and the championship was taken away by Sally Person.
As a double player in the 100m and 110m hurdles, Sally Person is still very strong, and in this game she also set a new record in her PB and Australian records.
7.73s, which also became the absolute result this time. This result directly opened the second place and was nearly two meters away, giving no chance at all. This level is quite good in history. Domestic players have no mentality of wanting to confront each other when they see this. This result is only 0.05 away from the world record, and only 0.01 away from the competition record.
The gap is really too big.
For example, the national player Sun Yawei who came here this time, the best 60-meter PB in his career is only 8.24s. Tell me how big the gap is?
And this is the best female contestant we can now produce.
The second place is Tiffany Porter from Kitty Eagle Country, with a score of 7.94s.
The third place is Alina Tale from Belarus, with a score of 7.97s.
When Yang Jian sighed that Australia's short-span scores were getting better and better, the men's 60m final was about to begin.
At this time, the players, passes and results that entered the finals were also played on the big screen.
The men's 60m hurdles finals of the 2012 World Indoor Track and Field Championships:
Passage Number Name Country/Region Season Best History Semi-Final Results
1 228 Noga Poland 7.65 7.64 7.68

3 50 Liu Xiang China 7.38 7.38 7.53
4 328 Merritt United States 7.43 7.43 7.65
5 131 Pots Kitty Hawk Country 7.56 7.56 7.56

8 242 Freer South Africa 7.64 7.64 7.65
Without any surprises, Liu Xiang was separated with Merritt and started as an adjacent road.
"We can see that the other people have different grades from Liu Xiang, and Liu Xiang is also the only player who can open the 7.40s. Without Robles and others, Liu Xiang's strength is already the first among everyone." Yang Jian said with a relaxed expression, because in his commentary career, Liu Xiang has not been so comfortable in 60 meters.
The first time I have hard strength, I am ranked first.
"Liu Xiang's 60-meter PB is now tenth in the world history, and is tied for Torian and Mark Crier's 60-meter PB. This is also the first time that our 60-meter PB has entered the top ten in the short span."
"It may be a real threat, that is, the player named Merritt by his side." Yang Jian looked at the information and said: "He won the 7.43s in the US Indoor Championship at the end of last month. However, looking at his performance in the Istanbul Indoor World Championships, I don't think it seems to be in a particularly good state."
Yang Jian said this not because he looked down on Merritt. Li Tao next to him also seemed to agree with Yang Jian's words, because if you don't have a God's perspective, you just saw that Merritt only had a score of 7.60 in the preliminary and finals.
The semi-finals were almost eliminated directly.
At this level, how could you think he is Liu Xiang’s opponent now?
Even if it was changed to Su Shen before, when watching this game, he always thought that Liu Xiang was almost sure to win.
Without an opponent and Liu Xiang's stability, it is almost a sure-fire champion.
But history is so dramatic.
No one thought that this person would become Liu Xiang's own opponent and the opponent of all the famous generals in the history of track and field.
The world's number one PB in the previous life.
It was created by this person.
This is enough.
Even if it only has one year's peak, objectively speaking, it is also the strongest annual peak in human history.
It depends on how Liu Xiang competes.
Merritt also has weaknesses, and this weakness is exactly Liu Xiang's strength.
This is how competitive sports are. Even if they are not as strong as their strength, the key is to perform on the spot.
Even if you run fast, when you face certain opponents, you may not be able to win because of your mentality and rhythm confrontation. It is not uncommon in sports history.
Then let’s see how Liu Xiang dealt with it.
This is also something that Su Shen is very concerned about.
Because no one knows better than him.
This year, Liu Xiang’s opponent is not what the outside world is promoting now, Roberts or Oliver.
Liu Xiang has only one opponent this year, the person who has the fastest PB run in history, named Aris Merritt.
And this is the first official competition between the two this year.
Liu Xiang turned his head and looked at the side. He still didn't expect why Su Shen asked him to pay attention. Could it be that he was wrong?
That American is not this, but the rest?
Otherwise, how could his performance in the preliminary and semi-finals pose any threat to him?
Before I saw it with my own eyes, it was really hard to believe in this performance.
And he vaguely remembered that this guy... seemed to be his little fan.
It has been said on many occasions that I am his idol.
In addition, he had no bright spots on the 110-meter hurdle before, nor had he seen any gold medals in any major competitions or even medals several times, which really made it difficult for Liu Xiang to have any special impression of him.
Seeing Liu Xiang looking at him, Merritt waved to him, his expression slightly nervous and shy.
Merritt was not actually the kind of particularly domineering type. Besides, there were no good results before, so I couldn't be domineering. Now Liu Xiang is the world record holder and the defender of the three consecutive World Indoor Championships. Although Merritt gave a lot of good results during winter training, the coaching team also said that he has improved a lot, but...
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Training is training.
The competition is a competition.
He has been away for so many years and knows this point more than anyone else.
Besides, he didn't know whether he could use his strength to transform it into actual combat achievements.
Liu Xiang frowned, nodded slightly, and after looking up and down, based on his unconditional trust in Su Shen, he was already looking for "some special points" of Merritt as much as possible.
There has not been much change in figure, which means that the physical fitness has not been greatly improved.
Could it be that technology has improved?
It seems that this is also very difficult. It has not been better for so many years, so how could it suddenly become better?
It has been a long time since the technology has increased and it has been established, unless he has made large-scale technical changes and pushed it back...
Otherwise, he would have been facing Merritt in Daegu last year, so he would not feel anything special.
After looking around, Liu Xiang swept his feet to the position on the starting machine...
Suddenly, he was stunned for a few seconds and said, "You..."
"Have you changed your feet?"
"Well, yes, Liu." Merritt was also stunned, not expecting Liu Xiang to ask him this.
"and you……"
"Has the eight changes to seven?"
Liu Xiang suddenly asked, his eyes changed a little.
"Um."
"I started after Daegu. I see you all changed, so I want to try it out."
"If there is any problem later, please tell me and give me some advice."
Merritt is still a little Calami who has been in PB for more than thirteen seconds. Seeing idols and world record holders, he will definitely look much more humble.
"It's okay, show it well."
Liu Xiang didn't say much.
But when he turned his head, he looked at Merritt's feet on the starting machine and thought about it.
If he thought it was true that Su Shen had made a mistake before, there was no perfect person in the end, and it was impossible for him to have no secrets.
Now...
He suddenly reminded himself of his heart.
He just put Su Shen's words in.
but.
Do you have the strength to compete with me?
How much has it improved?
I'll know if I run a game with me.
Liu Xiang shook his head slightly, penetrated the five railings, and looked at the finish line in front.
The expression on his face was less relaxed and relaxed.
At this moment, the electronic password for the game also rang.
“on your marks.”
“set.”
At this time, in the lounge, Su Shen also looked at Liu Xiang who was squatting on the TV screen and said softly:
Come on.
Brother Xiang.
