Day 5 of the Osaka World Championships.

At this time, we began to reach the climax of the hurdle.

It is also the game that the people of the whole country care about the most.

Many people who don’t usually watch the game know that there is Liu Xiang’s game today.

This is nationality and national influence.

In this regard, if you have not won Olympic medals or even gold medals, it is difficult for you to compare with Liu Xiang.

Compared with the national demand for winning gold, Liu Xiang spoke for the first time after he came to Osaka.

"To be honest, when I come to the Osaka World Championships, my goal is to compete in the top three, and I can accept medals of any color."

Actually, Liu Xiang and Su Shen discussed this and suggested that everyone's expectations be lowered at the beginning, otherwise it would be easy to have problems.

Especially now, everyone believes that Liu Xiang must win the championship, which is the most important gold medal. Once you win it, you can break the embarrassing situation that our Huahua Family Track and Field Team has not won a gold medal at the World Championships after entering the 21st century.

You have to know if the last gold medal was won at the 1999 Spanish World Championships.

In the next eight years, the Huahua Family Track and Field Team has won only two bronze medals and one silver medal in the three World Championships, of which Liu Xiang contributed one silver and one bronze. Yes, but before that, Liu Xiang had not won a gold medal at the World Championships.

In addition, next year's Olympics are about to come, many people hope to achieve a breakthrough of 0 gold medals in the 21st Century World Championships before the Olympics.

In particular, some media have begun to hype that Osaka is Liu Xiang’s lucky place to win gold. He has been here four or five times before, and every time he has been gold medals.

Then this time is no exception.

To be honest, this is meaningless, because there is a big gap between OW competitions and other competitions and cannot be compared.

But everyone is willing to listen to such words, so they are naturally willing to write them too.

But because he was too fanatical, Su Shen still suggested that Liu Xiang take the initiative to cool down.

So this sentence comes from-

"I feel that my current state is similar to the time of the Athens Olympics in 2000. However, the outside world's requirements for me have risen. It seems that if I don't enter the top three, it's abnormal. In fact, the level of the masters in the 110-meter hurdles is similar, and it's normal for whoever loses and wins. This time I come to Osaka, I will do my best and take the competition seriously, which is enough."

Liu Xiang also responded to the "Osaka Blessed Land" promoted by the media this time, saying:

"In the past, the level of the competitions in Osaka was not comparable to that of the World Championships. Moreover, the opponents were not very strong in those competitions, and some experts did not pay much attention to it. Everyone would do their best in this Osaka World Championships, and it would be much more difficult."

Yes, in this way, everyone basically has a bottom line.

Knowing it's not that easy.

Especially at the end, Liu Xiang smiled and said-

"This time we came to Osaka together, taking care of each other, talking and laughing, and being very happy. Unlike in the past, I felt very lonely when I went to Europe alone."

He actually wanted to point out Su Shen's, but thinking about it, he should not give him extra attention and pressure.

These media can know that they are not a good deal of fuel.

But if you say this, you will understand people naturally.

Especially in terms of record-breaking, he kept silent, and this kind of thing was to put the athletes on the fire and roast them.

Never agree easily.

Of course, there are also completely opposite examples, such as Tramer, who lost to Liu Xiang in 2004.

He is a typical high-profile type of human being, and he speaks—

"Look at me, I will definitely be able to break the world record set by Liu Xiang. I will continue to work hard for this!" (Original words)

Well, this is beautiful.

The sprint team rarely takes a moment to take a breath. After all, the track and field competition is very short and does not take too much time. Moreover, if it is always in the tense competition atmosphere, it will be too long and mentally tired. "Staying and relaxing" and "combining work and rest" are also an important training concept of the "Su Shen Group", otherwise it would have become the "three-by-one-big" type that used to be.

Come and watch Liu Xiang’s game, which is obviously the easiest way to mobilize excitement and relieve mental fatigue.

After all, this is indeed the most promising gold medal event for our track and field team this time.

Even in the preliminaries, there were still crowds of people. It seemed that Japan's enthusiasm for Liu Xiang was still very high.

"Wow, I'm really worthy of being Brother Xiang. This momentum seems to have become his home court." Liang Jiahong came out and saw the audience shouting "Liu Xiang". He was shocked, envious and admired.

This is Liu Xiang's influence on the whole world, especially Asia.

The gold medal in the first short-distance event is indeed too exciting.

In addition, the Japanese team's short-span events are already awkward, and the gap is too big, so naturally they are no longer in their hearts. They just want to cheer as the same Asian.

Liu Xiang was in the second group stage and the fourth track. When the live commentator read his name, the audience immediately responded enthusiastically. Liu Xiang himself also raised his arms with a smile and greeted everyone with his signature wave.

"Brother Xiang is so domineering! I like it so much!" Liang Jiahong and the other young team members were also driven, and their passion had begun to get restless.

Bang ———————

To be honest, it was too easy for Liu Xiang to win this kind of competition. Although someone rushed to the first shot, Liu Xiang still rushed out with a super starting speed of 0.141. You have to know that many people can't even get the starting reaction of 0.150s, and the preliminaries will not consume too much attention.

Liu Xiang is of course the same, so this shot is actually the speed of his reaction after he relaxes his reaction.

It's really too strong.

Relaxation can react so quickly.

He is indeed a super strong man who has been responding 0.12x all year round.

The competition went smoothly during the process. Liu Xiang seemed to be a stag on the track, jumping over the bar easily, and even... under the replay of the big screen, you will see that he is even smiling.

During the final sprint, Liu Xiang actually imitated Su Shen and the others and came to "look back at the moon", then shrank his pace and reduced his arm swing, and won the first place in the group with a time of 13.36 seconds and easily reached the semi-finals.

The headwind had no effect on him.

After the run, Liu Xiang said something specifically, because he thought "Looking back at the moon" was very handsome and fun, so he also tried it.

Um.

It really feels very good.

Sure enough, this is the benefit of reopening.

If you use it first, the trademark will automatically start to become the main one of you.

There is no way, just like Liu Xiang said, don’t blame Brother for not having feelings for him. The main reason is that this move is too handsome. If you know it, you can’t help but have the ability.

When asked by a Japanese reporter about the performance of the Japanese players in the same group, Liu Xiang could only say embarrassingly-

13.92s, well, it's pretty good, I still need to work harder, come on, well, that's it.

I was embarrassed to cut out a three-bedroom and one living room.

After all, what can I say about the 13.92s score? Liu Xiang can't say that I can get out of this score at the age of sixteen or seventeen.

Shi Dongpeng also performed well, and finally qualified for the group stage at 13.22s.

In fact, if it weren't for Liu Xiang, he should have been honored by Asia, but unfortunately, his achievements in the same era were a bit overshadowed.

However, what is surprising is that another "college student" young player who came out this time also reached the second round.

All three of them advanced, which made everyone happy.

However, in the semi-finals, the situation was not so ideal. Liu Xiang obviously had the effect of the extinction of the high fever and fatigue a few days ago. In addition, he met Roberts in the semi-finals. Although Roberts was still a young player, he had already shown an extremely strong momentum. His characteristic is that his explosive power is extremely high and his peak is very high. Although his peak is very short, his peak period is very strong. He once broke Liu Xiang's 12.88s. However, this time, Liu Xiang had already run to 12.85s in advance. It is estimated that he and the world record will miss it.

Bang —————

After the game began, Dutch player Sedko in the 7th lane took the lead.

The competition begins again.

After the second gunshot, Liu Xiang and Robles rushed out immediately.

Liu Xiang kept pressing his opponent half of the head in the first 10 hurdles, but he slowed down a little at the end, allowing Robles to overtake the past.

13.25s made everyone feel a little regretful, but because Liu Xiang obviously let him go intentionally, everyone still feels that there is no big problem in his heart. But for professional athletes, doing so is actually very likely to have problems.

because……

Paths may be placed in a very poor position.

If the outside paths are six or seven, it would be fine. If it is the eighth path, it is the first path. In fact, the ninth path will be in a very awkward position.

As long as you are a professional athlete, everyone knows that it will be challenging to win this competition to be nice, but to put it bluntly... the difficulty will suddenly increase by a lot.

In fact, when talking about history, many ordinary track and field fans may not understand it at all. In history, if you see it clearly, it is a history of not winning the championship in the frontier in the entire history.

It's not just a hurdle in track and field history.

Therefore, if you get the assignment, you will be under great psychological pressure.

Just after everyone prayed for a night, they saw the match group the next day, and they were silent for a few seconds.

Then some people even started to "spray fragrance" in depression.

Because Liu Xiang is indeed the least willing to be faced by everyone, the most extreme way, that is, the eighth (ninth) way.

As soon as this position came out, many of Liu Xiang's opponents became "escape".

After all, in the history of track and field, there has never been an OW competition before.

So many people don’t understand what this division of path meant back then.
