The Su God of the Reopening of the Sports Arena

Chapter 1850 World Record Holder VS World Record Holder

Start the reaction and Liu Xiang won the first place.

Merritt was a little shocked. He even thought that Liu Xiang had already taken a nose start at that moment.

did not expect.

He actually dared to suppress the gun.

Merritt was somewhat dishevelled.

He thought of many different scenarios of Liu Xiang running with him, but this one...

He didn't think about it.

  Olympic Games Gun Suppression?

What a joke! I don’t even dare to do that. He should have wanted to prove himself more than I did after 08. How could he be so bold?

Just this.

Liu Xiang's courage had some impact on Merritt's invincible momentum before the game.

Because he knows.

I dare not do that.

But if others do it and succeed, then their inner sense of invincibility will be weakened to the first level.

But...Aris's upper column is definitely strong enough.

No one is better than him at climbing the hurdle in seven steps.

Andreas Beem absolutely believes this.

Liu Xiang is originally from the Oriental nation, and explosive starting is not his strong point. Moreover, he is almost 30 years old and has suffered serious injuries. How can he compete with Merritt, who is at his peak, in the seven-step hurdle competition?

I guess most people think so too.

and so……

  You should do this even more! Brother Xiang!

Believe me, if he had performed well in the semi-finals, his previous starts would have been weakened.

The words of Su Shen are still ringing in my ears.

Especially the first time he gambled his life and suppressed the gun, such a dangerous thing was successful. Liu Xiang now has no choice but to trust Su Shen with all his heart.

He even placed his last and most important game on Su Shen.

He is willing too.

He was ready from the start.

When starting, swing your leg in the ready position and place it in front of your taking-off leg.

Increase the load on your swinging leg as you push off the ground.

After starting, lift your center of gravity earlier.

As your stride length increases, your stride frequency decreases accordingly.

Compared with before, he needs to place his center of gravity higher and more forward, so that at the moment of pushing off, he can obtain a greater initial velocity and ensure the subsequent connection.

So stronger core support is needed.

His core strength was not enough before. Even Liu Xiang in his previous life had to train his strength for a period of time before the seven-step hurdle.

It’s just that the path and method we take are not scientific or reasonable enough.

But here, none of that is a problem.

……

"Liu, your strength and explosiveness are too poor. Roberts dared to use the 7-step because he is a black European and American athlete. His muscle type determines that he has rich fast-twitch fibers, which has very good explosiveness and absolute strength as a guarantee. So if you want to catch up, the first thing you need to do is to improve your strength and explosiveness, especially your core strength. You have never trained it specifically, so it is too poor. Forcing it will only make your knees, ankles and Achilles tendons help you compensate too much."

"With the new technology, you need to increase your stride length while keeping your stride frequency the same. This requires your legs to have a stronger ability to withstand force. Even God can't help you now."

"The second difficulty is the connection. Although your strengths are in the technique and rhythm between hurdles, after using the new technique, you should pay special attention to how to connect the first hurdle with the following hurdles. Especially for the first hurdle, how to attack is crucial."

……

This is what Ralph Mann told him at the beginning of the training in the past few years, about the difficulty of changing from eight to seven.

Ralph Mann and Randy were also watching on the scene, especially Ralph Mann. If it weren't for the Olympics, he would never have come to the scene. After all, for him now, it would be better to close the door and do research than to come to the scene.

But Liu Xiang has been coaching for so long at the Olympics.

He also wanted to see how Liu Xiang could perform on this ultimate stage.

Can you do what you said and do it well?

How would you handle the first column, Liu?

Ralph Mann folded his arms and stared at the direction of the first hurdle in the sixth lane. His eyes, already old, did not blink.

The biggest change in the first hurdle of the eight-step-to-seven-step hurdle attack is that the angle between the starting leg and the first hurdle frame is reduced, which requires the athlete to have a lower center of gravity. A lower center of gravity means that the chance of hitting the hurdle with the starting leg is reduced...

Just increase it simultaneously.

The reason why Merritt hit the hurdles in the semi-finals was that he did not handle the first hurdle properly, which caused him to fall down on the hurdle frame when connecting with the next one.

Merritt has better explosiveness and physical attributes, and is stronger in flat running, so he can do this, but Liu Xiang cannot.

If he gets caught on the hurdle, it means that Liu Xiang's overall rhythm will change.

Liu Xiang is an absolute rhythm guy.

It is very different from the American short-span model.

So, he can't hang on.

If you get caught on the first hit, you’re doomed.

Even fall out directly.

"You need to change the angle of your kick-off. The one you had before wasn't enough. It was too big."

Liu Xiang here...

Step one, step two, step three, step four, step five...

Approach quickly and step out forcefully.

Thighs lead, feet elevated.

Step out!

As you approach the first rail, bend with your front leg and lift your knee up.

Stretch forward.

The first hurdle was already at his feet.

The angle of the kick-off.

This shot was very well done!

Ralph Mann watched and admired silently, this person didn't look like a person who was troubled by injuries or had pain in his heels.

This is true even if there is a blocking needle.

The blocking injection is not a panacea, and athletes still need to do it themselves.

When Liu Xiang stepped over the first hurdle, he quickly pushed his hind legs forward and lifted his feet over the railing.

First column.

Successfully crossed.

And he was the first one among everyone in the audience.

He even completely overwhelmed Merritt.

This shocked Merritt's coach.

It seems that he can't believe that such a thing can happen.

Merritt didn't expect Liu Xiang to clear the first hurdle so quickly, it was ridiculously fast.

He didn't think that Liu Xiang's speed was only one aspect...

Slowing down your own speed is another aspect.

His final start was the first hurdle attack.

It's going to be worse than the semi-finals.

Whether it is this life or the previous life, it is always like this.

"Liu Xiang attacked the first hurdle successfully! He is now in first place! Clearly ahead of Merritt!"

Yang Jian was also shocked by Liu Xiang's performance in the first hurdle. His voice immediately connected with the nerves that made his blood begin to boil, which made his voice become more infectious than usual.

Seeing Liu Xiang taking the lead, audiences across the country also started to roar for the first time in the game in front of their screens.

well.

This is the suppression of the first column. This layout is very important as long as it can be taken down.

Merritt will definitely experience the first psychological impact.

Su Shen was racing through his thoughts on the sidelines.

When he gave Liu Xiang this advice, he was not just talking nonsense or making empty promises, but was... based on history and reality.

Because only he knew that Merritt's starting reaction and final were both 0.140+, and his first hurdle was 0.06s slower than in the semi-finals.

What does 0.06s mean? In the straight track event, this means the start is more than a level lower than before.

In addition, Liu Xiang's shot was successful, which gave him a full 0.1s advantage.

  0.1s? What kind of difference is there in short track racing?

I believe that people who often watch the game already know this.

This is what Su Shen had planned for Liu Xiang a long time ago - to create a 0.1s advantage.

It is 2 levels higher than the opponent.

This put Merritt under unprecedented psychological pressure.

Because the short jump is different from the 0.1-meter jump, a gap of s here will be more difficult to catch than the -meter jump. The reason is...

There is a fence blocking the short span.

It's not like a hundred meters where you just have to jump over it.

Every 0.1s gap will become bigger because of the obstruction of the hurdles, which will test the rhythm and psychological quality more.

Therefore, it is absolutely correct to say that the 110-meter hurdles tests your sense of rhythm more than the 100-meter hurdles.

Here, due to the restrictions of the hurdles, how to compete in rhythm is the ultimate point of competition.

It's not just a simple speed showdown.

Each hurdle is 10 yards, or 9.14 meters, and is filled with a battle of rhythm.

Merritt did not expect that he would be 0.1s behind Liu Xiang at the very beginning. This made him mentally unprepared and he became a little anxious.

Moreover, his American buddy, Richardson, also started very quickly. He was not so exhausted in the semi-finals, and his overall condition was also very good. Merritt actually dropped to third place at the beginning.

Only third after passing the first hurdle.

This was a situation that Merritt himself had not anticipated.

Who knew this would happen?

In his original expectation.

He should be way ahead by now.

Everyone is eating dust behind their backs.

This is just right.

What is the result now...

Merritt's continuous outbursts in the past month have made his proud little heart a little overwhelmed. At this time, Merritt's head coach Andreas even felt a little regretful...

This was already a slight setback for Merritt, who was in the limelight.

At least that's it.

When he faces a backward situation now, he will not easily experience too much psychological fluctuation, and he will have the experience to adjust and deal with it.

Now?

The situation has become like this.

Andreas could only pray in his heart that his disciple Merritt would have strong mental qualities, not panic, and give full play to his abilities.

Don't fall behind because of the start.

There was too much negative feedback.

At this time, a strange scene actually happened. That is, Xie Wenjun, the last one to enter the finals, was admiring Liu Xiang's strength. He was able to win the first hurdle in such a situation, and he was worthy of being the pride of all Asian track and field athletes...

He also suddenly discovered a problem.

That is.

  I am actually still in a relatively forward position?

In other words, he, the guy who barely made it to the finals with the last small Q, is not now watching the performances of the other big guys.

Instead, he rushed to the front?

At least it's in the middle.

The people ahead of him, except Liu Xiang, Richardson, Merritt and Roberts, who were originally aiming for the Olympic gold medal, the rest...

There was only one Jamaican contestant born in the 90s, named Pachiment, who was ahead of him.

The others, such as Brathwaite and Ortega, are all behind him?

  Did you block the first hurdle yourself?

This was something Xie Wenjun had not expected before the competition.

In his view.

My shot should be the worst among all the others.

Take a look now.

These two people whose personal abilities were much better than his were actually left behind by him? Xie Wenjun himself felt a little unbelievable.

  Are these guys drunk?

Are you giving yourself face like this?

Of course, the answer is not what Xie Wenjun thought.

Who could possibly let himself go in the Olympic final?

  Sacrificing yourself for others, isn't that nonsense?

You are like Brathwaite from Barbados, whose personal best seems much better than Xie Wenjun's, but it is just an appearance. In fact, he himself has not broken 13 for two years.

For example, the Spanish athlete Ortega.

His best time this year is 13.10, which is better than Xie Wenjun's. But the problem is that Ortega has already suffered an injury after breaking 13 this season.

After the peak moment in Havana, his performance in several consecutive games was around 13 seconds. Even when there was a 30-meter strong wind, he could only run 1.6.

This was his last game before the Olympics.

In this case, it is not surprising that he was left behind by Xie Wenjun when he tried his best in the preliminaries and semifinals and was already tired in the final.

The current Ortega is no longer the Ortega at the end of May. He is actually only capable of running 5 seconds or so. After fighting against the wind and running 13+ seconds in the semi-finals, his physical reserves have been exhausted.

He was able to stand on the field in the final, which was already a victory. He was not at the level to run out of his personal PB.

To put it bluntly, even 13 seconds can't be opened.

In this case, it is not incomprehensible that Xie Wenjun was able to suppress it by performing stably as the Su Shen system.

In fact, Xie Wenjun tried her best in the semi-finals.

But the scientific training in Ersha Island in the past four years has given his physical foundation a major upgrade and transformation. At least he can still barely break 4 seconds with this shot.

This result is certainly not good.

There is nothing commendable about it.

But comparing people will make you feel nauseous, and comparing goods will lead to throwing them away.

Compared with the other two players who were in worse condition and had poorer physical reserves in the finals, he seemed relatively more energetic.

This is also the reason why Xie Wenjun can take the lead here. These two European and American players obviously have higher fame and honors than himself in the international arena.

However, not many people paid attention to him at this time.

Because there are too many masters in this game.

I can’t even keep up with the top 4.

Who would care about the ranking behind?

Even Sun Haiping himself probably doesn't have much energy to devote to Xie Wenjun.

The camera cuts back to the front.

Liu Xiang continued to attack the second hurdle.

With the momentum of the first hurdle, Liu Xiang also had a relatively smooth second hurdle. At this time, he gradually understood Su Shen's intention.

Why is it called that Merritt must be suppressed in the front?

For now.

Merritt wasn't even No. 2.

This gives Liu Xiang a strong chance of winning.

Although the second-place Richardson is also an American athlete, he is obviously not as good as his compatriot. Merritt wants to put pressure on Liu Xiang.

If Liu Xiang's opponent in this shot was changed from Merritt to Richardson, then Sun Haiping would probably wake up laughing in his dreams.

As for Roberts.

terribly sorry.

His position was not very good at the beginning.

Even behind this young player from Jamaica.

Judging from the situation, unless he can perform at his peak in the latter stages, I'm afraid that this so-called future short-term star of Jamaica will have problems.

It was exposed in an instant.

Jamaica Field Shoes' false description of Roberts. Roberts simply does not have such ability now.

His injury is serious.

We tried our best in the semi-finals.

Before the final began, his leg and back injuries had relapsed.

From the way he staggered and felt uncomfortable when running, we could tell that...

Championship battle.

The defending champion starts at the first hurdle.

They have already lost the chance to compete for the gold medal.

As expected, the competition soon became between Liu Xiang and two American athletes. Even though it was only the second hurdle, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Americans could at least win two medals in the top three.

Now let’s take a look at these two medals.

Is there a golden one?

"Liu Xiang is in good shape and has been leading the way. It looks like the goddess of luck is on his side today!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, the goddess of luck let Yang Jian know.

How shaky she was.

How wild she is.

  Choose a man?

No.

That’s not what she wants to do this game.

The event was broadcast live across the United States, and the guy over there was also a former 400-meter hurdles champion. Anyway, the 400-meter hurdles champion is not uncommon in the United States, especially before the 21st century, when short track events were almost entirely dominated by Americans.

In this game, the commentator from the United States is Kevin Young. He is the Olympic gold medalist at the 92 Barcelona Olympics and also holds the current world record in the 400-meter hurdles. This record will not be broken until 2021.

Kevin Young was extremely optimistic about Merritt before the game.

There were even rumors that he had bought a lot of Merritt's bets before the game.

Seeing Merritt fall behind from the start, he was so anxious that he almost cursed in the live studio. Fortunately, he remembered that this was not his own living room, so he held back the curse and could only say with a little emotion: "What is Aris doing? This is not his performance. Didn't he go out without praying?"

But Merritt is Merritt.

This year is his peak year, and also the peak year in the history of human short-distance racing. There is no need to doubt his strength. After the second person, he also began to adjust his state, similar to the semi-finals...

The speed and rhythm of the whole person gradually returned to normal.

After all, he is this year's original Olympic champion.

After all, he is this year's world record breaker.

After all, this is the short-distance record holder that has been difficult to break in the past ten years.

  How can you underestimate him?

Merritt began to adjust himself after the second hurdle, saying that his adjustment and rhythm abilities were not the best in history, and that it depended on who he was compared with.

If he were an ordinary player, he would still be terrifyingly strong.

Otherwise he wouldn’t be able to adjust back in the semi-finals.

Su Shen said that to Liu Xiang, on the one hand to encourage Liu Xiang himself, on the other hand...

Deliberately let Liu Xiang not have too much psychological burden when facing Merritt.

Because he expected Merritt to never give up the championship so easily. Otherwise, he would not be worthy of his status as this year's Olympic champion and world record holder.

After passing the second hurdle, Merritt used his core to stabilize his body and readjust his stride rhythm. Just what he is doing now, few athletes can do it well in the actual Olympic Games.

There is one thing that Merritt does very well that most people simply cannot do, and that is the timing of the hurdle stride.

That is the so-called - the time from the take-off leg to leaving the ground T1 + the time when the take-off leg and the swing leg leave the ground at the same time T + the support time T of the swing leg from landing to leaving the ground.

It is an important indicator that reflects the quality of an athlete's hurdle-clearing technique. Shortening its time is an important aspect of improving hurdle-clearing efficiency.

Merritt's performance in this regard was extremely horrific.

This year in particular, his T2, the time it takes for his stride leg and swing leg to leave the ground at the same time, has been unmatched.

It is the best T2 since the short-distance cross-country project was established.

The timing of his taking off leg and swinging leg leaving the ground at the same time is truly amazing.

With such a relatively short height, he can run out of such an almost unbeatable take-off time for the stride leg and the swing leg to leave the ground at the same time. To be honest, if Merritt had not appeared out of nowhere, even Merritt's own coach Andreas Beem would not believe that a man who was probably less than 1.85 meters tall could run out of such a long take-off time for the stride leg and the swing leg to leave the ground at the same time.

The hurdle step starts from the moment the foot of the starting leg steps on the starting point until the foot of the swinging leg touches the ground after passing the hurdle.

Merritt started at the third hurdle and showed off his true hurdling stride.

While clearing the hurdle, the vertical speed at the start can be reduced as much as possible.

At the same time, obtain a higher initial velocity in the air and a lower parabolic trajectory of the body's center of gravity.

To facilitate crossing the hurdle as quickly as possible.

Merritt's implementation of these features was flawless.

The questions in the first two columns seemed to have disappeared, and his performance was completely different from his previous performance.

"Aris' speed has picked up, good, it's being launched, ojbk! Aris' speed is back!"

"That's Aris! He's caught up with Jason! Looks like he even said a prayer before going out today!"

Kevin Young turned from depression to joy, and the Americans were naturally pleased to see it. Merritt made a change in just one hurdle, and this was the Merritt they wanted to see.

Richardson originally thought that his compatriot's poor performance gave him a chance to shine.

Now it looks like...

I'm just thinking too much.

Merritt proved it here, or he proved it in the semifinals.

Him now.

In good condition.

Even with his mistakes, he is still the strongest, a regular sub-thirteen-second runner.

No match for him at all.

He will still be easily wiped out.

Especially at this time, when he starts to run in the short stride, that is where Merritt can play to his strengths.

For the third hurdle, the take-off and landing speed increases, the push-off speed increases, the take-off and landing speed increases, and the stride length decreases rapidly.

This is all to make the hurdle jump more agile and powerful.

Shortening the step before taking off appropriately will not only help the body's center of gravity to be in a higher position when taking off and reduce the vertical speed requirements when taking off, but also enable the body's center of gravity to pass over the support point as quickly as possible and quickly transition to the hurdle attacking action.

Merritt showed his full power this time.

The fourth column.

It's faster.

It's completely different from the previous two people.

Use the front sole of the striding leg to quickly touch the ground at the striding point near the projection point of the body's center of gravity and stride forward.

When the body's center of gravity passes above the support point and moves into the hurdle, the striding leg should quickly stretch the hip, knee, and ankle joints. At the same time, the hip should be pushed forward, the upper body should lean forward slightly, and the arm on the opposite side of the swinging leg should also be extended forward.

Move the body's center of gravity forward a greater distance to form a suitable take-off angle.

Probably around 68 degrees.

It's not over yet.

In the fifth hurdle, Merritt, who had been well prepared, began to burst out at full speed.

His extreme speed zone.

Start entering at the fourth hurdle.

The fifth column is fully expanded.

When attacking the upper hurdle, swing quickly. When the jumping leg lands on the ground, the swinging leg bends the knees from behind the body and swings forward.

When the jumping leg steps on the jumping point, the body's center of gravity moves above the vertical position, the swinging leg is bent and raised, the thigh moves forward actively, the raised leg is straightened quickly and forcefully, the upper body leans forward, the arms swing violently, and the whole body "attacks" the hurdle.

The center of mass will move forward along the take-off path formed by the take-off span.

After the take-off leg leaves the ground, swing the leg and thigh forward and upward until the knee joint is above the height of the obstacle, and the calf moves forward quickly. As the foot approaches the obstacle, the swing leg will be almost straight and the toes will be slightly raised.

then.

The shoulder and arm opposite the swinging leg will extend together over the track, and the upper body will tilt forward so that the head is close to or slightly over the ankle joint above the knee of the swinging leg.

fifth column.

Like a black antelope.

Over the huge rocks on the cliff.

Lightweight and lightweight.

And the worst part is...

After he passed Richardson here, his rhythm became more and more good.

The gap between him and Liu Xiang in front of him began to get smaller and smaller.

You can tell from Yang Jian's voice that his joy gradually turned into anxiety.

"Liu Xiang also did well in the third hurdle and the fourth hurdle. He is still in the lead. He has always been in the first place, but..."

"Merritt is exerting his strength!" Li Tao shouted.

Yang Jian also noticed this place and said, "Merritt exerted his strength and jumped over the hurdles continuously. Richardson had no power to resist him. After only two hurdles, he was completely overwhelmed. Merritt is second."

"He's in front now."

"There is only Liu Xiang."

Yes.

There is only Liu Xiang left.

A duel between two people.

Finally after the fifth hurdle.

Was pushed to the front.

The drama that everyone was looking forward to before the game.

Here it finally appears.

The figures of these two people were also reflected in Su Shen's eyes.

One is the current world record holder.

One is the world record holder in the history of one's own memory.

On the grounds of the London Bowl.

A space showdown will take place.

Let go of the regrets of not having done anything in the previous life.

Fill thoroughly.

Liu Xiang VS Merritt.

from now on.

It completely turned into a battle between two heroes.

Two people.

Only one can leave the field with a smile.

  PS: Second update~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I’ll start with 10,000 words, and more, I will definitely finish it tonight, I’ll have to explode to the end~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
