Chapter 2045 Remember, everyone is equal before the finish line
[110m hurdles chaos! Three top runners in low spirits, Shi Dongpeng and Xie Wenjun fight in Shanghai! ]

Since May, the frequency of participation of male high hurdlers from various countries has increased. However, the situation of the world 110-meter hurdles is quite different from the same period of previous years. None of the three top American players, Merritt, Richardson and Oliver, made it into the top six.

Merritt's two championships were mediocre.

Last year, Merritt started the 110-meter hurdles in Fayetteville, his home country, and ran 13 seconds twice in the preliminaries and finals, leading all the way to win the championship, which also made a good start for his outdoor season. Later, he not only won the runner-up in the 25-meter hurdles at the London Olympics, but also broke 110 seconds eight times in more than two months from June to September, including setting a new world record of 6 seconds at the IAAF Diamond League Brussels Station. He was simply "running like crazy."

Merritt's situation in indoor competitions at the beginning of this year was not ideal. Although he won the 60-meter hurdles championship in an indoor competition in Houston in late January, his result was only 7 seconds. Later, due to an injury, he registered for the Birmingham Indoor Competition on February 63, but did not participate. He also chose not to participate in the US Indoor Competition in March.

On April 4, he chose to start this year's 13-meter hurdles in Fayetteville. Although he won the championship with a time of 110 seconds, the wind speed reached 13 meters per second, which prevented him from being included in the world rankings. A week later, Merritt won the 23-meter hurdles championship again, but his time was only 2.1 seconds, which only ranked him eighth in the world that year.

理查德森是2011年世锦赛110米栏冠军，伦敦奥运会以13秒04获银牌。今年室内赛季，他也仅仅参加了2月16日在纽约的一次比赛，结果以7秒71获60米栏第五。此成绩和自己7秒53的最好成绩相比，慢了0.18秒。

4月6日、20日，理查德森两次出现在110米栏赛场，第一次拿到冠军，然13秒47的成绩，甚至未达到莫斯科世锦赛该项目报名13秒40的A标；第二次在超风速的情况下，也只是跑出13秒39。

Oliver has been away from the competition since he participated in two 9-meter hurdles competitions in Europe last September. On April 110 this year in Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas, he re-entered the competition after seven months and won the runner-up in 4 seconds, reaching the A standard for the Moscow World Championships. A week later, he appeared again in Gainesville, USA, and although he won the championship, his performance only improved by 13 seconds.

However, the Cuban newcomer took the lead with 13 seconds.

The top three players in the world in the 110-meter hurdles this year are Cuban teenager Ortega, American Schick, and Jamaican Pachment.

作为2008年BJ亣奥运会110米栏冠军的罗伯斯，已经主动退出了古巴国家队，另一名古巴选手奥尔特加却逐渐崭露头角。2011年，他110米栏的最好成绩为13秒29；去年5月在哈瓦那跑出13秒09，将个人最好水平一下提高了0.20秒。

今年5月8日，21岁的他首次亮相110米栏赛场，便以13秒17夺得冠军，此成绩列年度世界第一。

……

China Sports Channel.

"Tianchao Sports Channel, this is Tianchao Sports Channel. Today's weather doesn't seem to be very good. God didn't give us a sunny and windy day today."

“But I believe the athletes will not be affected.”

“The rain will only boost their morale.”

“I’m Yang Jian. I will be commentating this year’s Diamond League Shanghai Station with my old friend Li Tao.”

Normally, the Diamond League does not arrange two people.

However, as the influence of domestic track and field grows.

Especially last year, Su Shen, Liu Xiang, Xie Zhengye, Chen Juan, etc., all shined on the track and field stage. In addition, Su Shen has now become the largest sponsor of the Diamond League and has given the broadcasting rights to Tianchao Sports Channel at a very low price.

What else can you say?

A comprehensive plan must be made.

This is the first show for most of the domestic track and field athletes. It is only natural to arrange two people to commentate the show and improve the level of commentary.

"This year is different from the previous ones. The 110-meter hurdles finale has been moved from the last race to the first race. It will be the opening race of the Magic City War." Yang Jian said: "Although Liu Xiang has retired, we can see that he is... standing behind us."

Liu Xiang suddenly appeared and waved to the camera.

It immediately aroused cheers from the audience.

After all, this is Shanghai, Liu Xiang's hometown, and his home court. Even Shanghai was able to hold the Grand Prix and upgrade it to the Diamond League, in fact, it was all thanks to him in the beginning.

At first, everyone came to see him.

I believe there should be no objection to this.

So he couldn't run even if he couldn't.

That must be for the only diamond-level league in domestic track and field.

Let’s stand on the platform in Shanghai.

"I'm very happy to meet you all today in this capacity. Liu Xiang waved his hand. He has very little experience as a commentator, but he is popular enough, and commentary only requires emotion, so people won't have too many harsh demands on him.

I even think his commentary is quite unique.

It narrows the gap between top athletes and ordinary people.

"This year, the best male high hurdler is Xie Wenjun. In February, within just ten days, he participated in three international indoor competitions held in Europe, setting new personal bests in the 2-meter hurdles and even winning a medal in the individual competitions."

"At the end of last month, the National Grand Prix in Zhaoqing was Xie Wenjun's first 110m race this year. He won the championship with a time of 13 seconds, and has already reached the B standard of 44 seconds for the August Moscow World Championships, earning him a "ticket" to participate. I wonder what you think of your junior brother's performance today, Liu Xiang."

After Yang Jian finished speaking, Liu Xiang thought for a moment and said, "In my opinion, the last match in China did not reach his season level. In that match, there was a clear gap between him and the other players in China, so he didn't get enough stimulation."

"If I were to guess, based on his indoor performance in February this year, he ran 2 in every shot, and even ran 7 in Birmingham. So I think he has the ability to at least break 70 this year, and my expectation is that he can run at least 7+."

"How much he can achieve depends on his performance in the competition. Anyway, from what I heard from his master, he is still very confident that he can achieve new good results this year."

"However, the threshold for participating in the competition has been raised again this year. I still hope that he can perform well and strive to get a ticket to the competition."

After Liu Xiang finished speaking, Li Tao also said:

"At the Moscow World Championships, the IAAF significantly raised the entry standard for the 110-meter hurdles. I remember that at the London Olympics last year, the A and B standards for this event were 13 and 52 seconds respectively, and at the Moscow World Championships they were raised to 13 and 60 seconds respectively. That means the B standard at the Moscow World Championships is actually higher than the A standard at the London Olympics?! Let's take a look at this year. Only ten people in the world have reached the A standard for the 13-meter hurdles, and five of them are American athletes. In addition, only nine people have reached the B standard, and five of them are also American athletes. Even Richardson has only reached the B standard so far."

"It seems that if Xie Wenjun wants to enter the competition, he must first get an A mark."

"I think that should be fine."

After Liu Xiang, Li Tao and others finished speaking, the electronic big screen showed this year's WL rankings, which were:

First: Ortega 13 seconds set by Maowan, Cuba on May 17th.

Second: Schick 13 seconds set by Kingston on May 25th, USA.

Third: Pachment 13 seconds set in Caiman Islands, Jamaica on May 25.

Fourth: Brathwaite 13 seconds set by George of Barbados on May 26.

Fifth: Andrew 13 seconds set in Kingston, Jamaica on May 28.

Sixth: Payne 13 seconds set in Maowan, USA on May 34th.

Seventh: Oliver 13 seconds set in Gainesville, USA on April 36.

Eighth: Merritt 13 seconds, created by Patton on April 37, USA.

Ninth: Thomas 13 seconds set a record in Gainesville, Trinidad and Tobago on April 39.

Tenth: Spencer 13 seconds, set by Auburn on April 40, USA.

……

Thirteenth: Xie Wenjun’s 13 seconds was set in Zhaoqing on April 44.

第52：石冬鹏13秒75种花家4月28日肇庆创。

When seeing the ranking given by the director, Yang Jian continued, "Since this year, only ten people in the world have reached the A standard for the 110-meter hurdles, five of whom are American athletes. In addition, only nine people have reached the B standard, five of whom are also American athletes. Even Richardson has only reached the B standard so far. It's not easy for Xie Wenjun."

In the 2011 Daegu World Championships and the London Olympics, the flower growers had the full quota of three athletes participating in the 110-meter hurdles. In the Moscow World Championships, if the flower growers want to have at least two participants in the event, they must have at least two results that reach the A standard of 7 before July 29.

It is because of this mission.

Shi Dongpeng is clearly no longer at his peak.

I have even submitted a retirement report.

But the higher-ups still asked him to finish the Moscow World Championships. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing for a team that was the world's top team last year and could not even get two players together this year.

But Shi Dongpeng was plagued by various injuries, and as he got older, his condition declined, and he himself no longer had much will to persist.

Internal and external factors combined.

It becomes what it is now.

Grades are not something you can just give a new order to. Even if you let him stick to his current state and want to get an A grade...

It's a bit difficult.

Liu Xiang also knew it, and even Yang Jian and the others knew it, but some things were hard to say and couldn't be revealed.

We can only say as little as possible and focus all our attention on Xie Wenjun, a young player who has been in good form and made continuous breakthroughs this year.

"Okay, the athletes are starting to enter the venue." Yang Jian said, and the broadcast screen turned to the starting line.

One by one, the athletes began to walk out of the athlete tunnel.

Stand on your own track.

The first player is Jeff Porter from the United States.

The second lane is Russian contestant Sergey Shubenkov.

The third player is David Oliver from the United States.

The fourth player is Jason Richardson from the United States.

The fifth flower grower contestant is Xie Wenjun.

Lane 6: American athlete Ryan Wilson.

Lane 7: American contestant Merritt.

The eighth flower grower is Shi Dongpeng.

Lane 9: South African athlete Lehane Fourie.

"The first lane is the American player Jeff Porter, whose career PB was 13.08s last year at Hayward, which shows that he is still very capable. If he performs well in this game, he has a chance to win the championship or even the World Championship."

Yang Jian is not talking nonsense. Who said that this year's WL is only 13.17s?

But this year is a back-to-back year for the Olympics, so it is questionable whether we can still achieve this level.

"The Russian runner in the second lane, Sergei Shubenkov, looks like a Russian, but he is actually in very good shape. Last year, he ran several times in a row within 13.10 seconds. As a newcomer born in the s, his growth is still quite impressive."

"He actually has a chance to win the championship and may even become the star of the Russian short-distance race in the future."

This is true. Shubenkov did break the 13-second mark in the future and even ran under 12.95 seconds.

This result is considered a first-rate result in history. "Everyone says he may challenge the 13-second mark in the future. So far, no white person has broken the 13-second mark."

Liu Xiang took a look and said, "I have some impression of this person. He won the 21st European Athletics Championships in Helsinki last year with a time of 13 seconds. I think. In the semi-finals, he broke the Russian national record with a time of 16 seconds, becoming another European athlete to run under 13 seconds."

"This player is 1.9 meters tall, but unfortunately I haven't played against him much, so I don't know his technical characteristics very well."

Liu Xiang also told the truth.

In the first two years, Shubenkov's level was only 1350~13.40. Needless to say, this level was not good enough in the world and was not worthy of Liu Xiang's attention.

Also normal.

After all, Liu Xiang is now a god of honor, with multiple World Championships, two Olympic championships and Olympic records in one.

If only the world record had not been broken.

That's really perverted.

However, Liu Xiang is already very satisfied with himself. He was willing to exchange the so-called world record for a gold medal in London.

As long as I can get that one Olympic gold medal.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

He really can do anything.

So he will definitely not pay attention to players of Shubenkov's level.

In a word...no time.

"There's no need to introduce David Oliver in the third lane and Richardson in the fourth lane. Friends who follow short spans should know them. They are also Liu Xiang's old opponents."

"These athletes have broken 13 seconds many times. They are world-class players. Oliver even broke 12.90s."

“Most people can’t do this.”

The camera moves to the fifth lane.

"The fifth lane is our country's athlete Xie Wenjun, who is also Liu Xiang's junior. His best time was 13.24s, which he achieved in last year's Olympics. This time allowed him to defeat his opponents and enter the Olympic finals."

"He is also the second athlete in our short-distance history to enter the finals at the Olympics. This result is very good, second only to Liu Xiang. Although he accumulated a lot of honors last year and entered the Olympic finals, he is still young after all."

"His Pb is not an advantage here. Everyone introduced before has a higher Pb than him."

“So as a young player, you still need to accumulate experience on the Diamond League stage and strive to become a better version of yourself, and don’t think too much about the results.”

This seems to make sense.

But if you think about it, Liu Xiang, who was the same age, was already an Olympic champion at that time. It should even be said that Liu Xiang was one year younger than him at that time.

On the sports field.

After 90.

He is no longer a particularly young and immature young player.

The earliest batch is already 23 years old.

It’s just that because the results were achieved late, and not everyone is a super genius like Liu Xiang, they give people the feeling that they are still very young.

That's what almost everyone told him.

You are still young, it is enough to accumulate experience when you play. Including Sun Haiping said so, I hope he will not be too stressed, just perform well, everyone here is better than you, you should not have any burden.

Of course this sounds very frustrating.

But you can't find any reason to refute it.

Lane 13.02: American athlete Ryan Wilson, individual PB s.

Merritt, the world record holder in lane 12.80, clocked in at s.

The eighth Dashi, Shi Dongpeng, was also a fierce player at his peak age. He had entered the World Championships final more than once in this timeline. It was a pity that he was now old and had injuries. He was still running now, and that was because of the needs of the superiors.

Competitiveness is almost non-existent.

In lane nine, South African athlete Lehane Fourie had a personal best of 13.24, the same as Xie Wenjun.

Created in last year’s Olympic year.

After all the introductions are completed.

Now you know why few people are optimistic about Xie Wenjun.

You will understand why even Sun Haiping just encouraged him to run well, run easily and relaxedly, and not think too much.

It’s because of all these people.

The worst Pb is equal to him.

The rest are much better than him.

This time, Merritt, the world record holder, is also in...

Who dares to think more about this?

Not coming in last is good enough.

Although Xie Wenjun has made many breakthroughs this year, how many people can perform in competition form in training like Liu Xiang, or even perform better?
The results of most people's training.

Can't even show it.

This is the norm.

As soon as Liu Xiang left, Sun Haiping seemed to have lost part of his soul. He still hasn't recovered from the shock.

I didn't pay much attention to Xie Wenjun.

Of course there is a gap.

When Liu Xiang was around, the opponents he studied were all the strongest generals in the world.

Now I have to work hard not to get last place.

How much enthusiasm also needs to be readjusted.

We are all ordinary people, and it is normal to need a process.

So in this game, Xie Wenjun really didn't get what anyone expected.

Apart from……

Just when I went to the toilet.

Su Shen also came out of the toilet.

When two people passed by sideways.

Su Shen suddenly said something that entered Xie Wenjun's ears.

That really got in.

He was almost frozen in place.

"Run well, Jun, and try to come in first. If Brother Xiang is not available, I will drape the national flag over you."

Wearing the national flag?
Come first?

I?
Xie Wenjun never expected that someone would say this out of the blue.

This person still is.

The recognized soul of Ersha Island.

Su Shen.

"I... Mr. Su, do you think this is possible?"

He was actually a little unwilling to say this, after all, he was just a young man in his early 20s. Who wouldn't want to win glory for the country? Who wouldn't want to receive warm cheers and applause from his fellow countrymen at home like his idol?

Of course he does.

But everyone around me thought it was impossible.

Naturally he thought so too.

"Maybe."

Su Shen's tone sounded like he was just chatting about family matters.

“Before the finish line.”

"Everyone is equal."

"Wouldn't it be nice to sacrifice the world champion?"

"Come on."

After saying that, Su Shen left.

Only Xie Wenjun was left there.

For a while.
