The Su God of the Reopening of the Sports Arena

Chapter 2431, 13:04! The first Pb has appeared!
"preparation--"

The starter's voice pierced the thin air, and the hips of all eight contestants rose simultaneously.

Xie Wenjun's left knee is bent at 135°, which is the "golden angle for high-altitude power generation" that he calculated during training—it can ensure the power output when pushing off the ground, while avoiding the starting delay caused by excessive bending.

Zhang Honglin raised his hips 3 centimeters lower than Xie Wenjun, and his preparatory posture for the eight-step hurdles shifted his center of gravity further back, attempting to use a "steady start" to cope with the high altitude.

Fan Jiang's calf muscles were taut like a string, and her advantage of quick reaction at the start was evident at this moment, with her ankles already beginning to gather strength slightly.

The moment the gun fired, Xie Wenjun's technical improvements exploded at a speed that was "visible to the naked eye." When his left leg pushed off the ground, the contraction force of his quadriceps reached 95% of that at rest, thanks to his "high-altitude explosive power training" in the two weeks before the competition.

This means one hour of weighted push-up exercises in a hypoxic chamber every day, which helps muscles adapt to the exertion pattern in a hypoxic environment.

The reaction force generated by pushing off the ground is quickly transmitted through the core muscle group, and the muscles in the right waist and abdomen contract simultaneously, like an invisible hand pulling his body forward. The first step is precisely placed at the preset position of 2.1 meters, and the ball of his foot touches the ground.

The tailwind of 1.3 meters per second just brushed past his ankle.

It provides a 0.005-meter boost to stride length extension.

In the second step, Xie Wenjun increased her stride length to 2.2 meters, and her core began to play a role in "rhythm control".

Slight contraction of the rectus abdominis muscle stabilizes the torso's forward tilt angle at 28°, reducing the energy expenditure required to maintain balance at high altitudes and allowing the line of sight to clearly lock onto the position of the first hurdle.

At this moment, Zhang Honglin had just completed his third step. The rhythm of the eight-step hurdle made his step frequency 0.1 steps/second slower than Xie Wenjun's. Although his push-off force was not weak, he had already been pulled half a body length ahead.

Fan Jiang's starting reaction was superior, with her second stride reaching 2.15 meters, but... insufficient core control caused a slight sway in her torso, and her stride stability was 10% worse than Xie Wenjun's.

The fifth step is the "key connection point" of the seven-step upper section. Xie Wenjun's step length exceeded 2.4 meters, which is the core breakthrough of his technical improvement.

By adjusting the forward extension of the hip joint, the step length increment of each step was increased from 0.1 meters to 0.15 meters, completing the distance that would normally require six steps to reach the hurdle in eight steps in just five steps.

At this moment, his breathing and walking frequency formed a precise "two steps, one breath" rhythm. When he inhaled, his chest cavity expanded slightly. With the help of the airflow brought by the tailwind, the oxygen exchange efficiency was increased by 8%, avoiding respiratory disorder at high altitude.

Wei Ji, Yang Lu and other athletes were clearly lagging behind at this point. Their rhythm of the eight-step hurdle was disrupted at high altitude, and the length of their fourth step was 0.1 meters shorter than the preset value.

They could only watch helplessly as Xie Wenjun's figure receded into the distance.

"Wait, this is..."

"Someone realized what was happening."

"This is going to..."

"Seven steps to the railing?"

Some professionals had already anticipated this step.

But it was just a guess.

Because we hadn't seen Xie Wenjun actually do it before.

They weren't sure if that was the case either.

After all, in China right now, apart from Liu Xiang, no one else dares to use such a technique to attack the hurdle.

Liu Xiang was also watching on TV.

His eyes were full of expectation.

If Xie Wenjun had mastered this technique earlier, his potential could have been even greater.

Although Liu Xiangren has retired.

But his heart is definitely still on the hurdles.

Moreover, the classes on this timeline are different from the original timeline.

He reached the pinnacle at the 2012 London Olympics, avenged his defeat, and then retired.

That kind of retirement would seem... absolutely glorious.

Therefore, his current reputation and mindset.

Very different.

On the original timeline, such nationwide cyberbullying occurred twice, and it happened to the same person twice.

Anyone else would probably have become depressed by now.

Liu Xiang is considered relatively good.

However, he rarely appeared in public after that.

It must be said that this is absolutely related to the fact that he was subjected to nationwide cyberbullying twice in a row.

This problem does not exist on this timeline.

It's perfectly normal to be cheerful and lively like that.

Step 7.

Xie Wenjun's foot landed precisely on the "starting point" 0.3 meters from the first hurdle, and the stride length reached 2.5 meters, which is the maximum he can currently achieve.

The knee joint that initiates the stride flexes and extends to 140° in an instant.

The ankle joint is stretched to its limit.

The body's center of gravity rises 15 centimeters upward with the stepping motion.

This height was calculated repeatedly to ensure that the hurdles could be cleared easily while avoiding the waste of time caused by raising the hurdles too high.

At this moment, Zhang Honglin had just completed his sixth step. His rhythm of eight steps to the hurdle left him two steps away from the first hurdle. Although Fan Jiang was close to the starting point, the angle of his starting leg deviated by 3 degrees due to core swaying.

It looks alright on the surface.

But what happened next?

The seeds of future problems have already been sown.

When Xie Wenjun's body soared over the first hurdle, the audience at Qing Tang City erupted in their first cheers.

His hurdling posture resembled "an antelope leaping over a stream," with the toes of his swinging legs only 5 centimeters from the top of the hurdle, reducing his hurdling time to 0.12 seconds, 0.03 seconds faster than his eight-step hurdling time.

In fact, in theory, it should be much faster.

However, he hasn't fully mastered it yet.

It's already quite an achievement to be able to execute it in actual combat.

First, make it, then refine it.

This is exactly what Sun Haiping's team wants Xie Wenjun to achieve.

A 1.3-meter tailwind is most effective at this moment.

The airflow passed under his armpits, reducing air resistance when he went over the hurdle. His stride length was stable at 2.3 meters when he landed, and he did not stagger at all due to the impact of landing at high altitude.

Zhang Honglin had just started his stride, and his lagging rhythm in the eight-step hurdles widened the gap between him and Xie Wenjun to 1.5 body lengths.

Fan Jiang's hurdling action was affected by the angle deviation.

My foot slid 2 centimeters when I landed.

The cadence dropped by 0.05 steps per second instantaneously.

After landing the first column, Xie Wenjun enters the "golden period of rhythm between columns".

The seven-step approach to the bar brings a "leading start".

This allows him to maintain his advantage by simply maintaining the modified "three-step hurdle clearing" rhythm without needing to deliberately accelerate between hurdles.

His stride length between hurdles is fixed at 2.7 meters, which is his current "optimal stride length combination" between 110-meter hurdles.

The three steps covered exactly 9.14 meters, with a cadence of 3.8 steps per second.

It avoids wasting energy while ensuring efficient hurdling.

In high-altitude environments, his core control technology became the key to "maintaining a steady pace".

Before each hurdle, the external oblique muscles contract 0.02 seconds in advance, pulling the hip joint forward to ensure that the angle of force exertion of the take-off leg is stable at 140°.

When clearing hurdles, the erector spinae muscles are taut like steel cables, maintaining a straight posture of the torso and preventing body twisting caused by lack of oxygen.

This core control capability is something he further strengthened during the technical upgrade.

One hour of core stability training every day.

It can increase the endurance of the abdominal muscles by 20%.

Even after passing through 6 columns consecutively.

The core tension can still be maintained at 85% of its initial state.

With a tailwind of 1.3 m/s creating a "boosting belt" between the hurdles, Xie Wenjun's swing leg passes through the inside of his thigh as he swings his leg over the hurdle, propelling his body forward while reducing air resistance in his swing leg. His hurdle clearing time remains stable at 0.12 seconds without any fluctuation.

Zhang Honglin was currently facing a "high-altitude hurdles dilemma"—

The so-called "high-altitude hurdle dilemma".

Although his stride length between hurdles can reach 2.65 meters, the force of his push-off decreases by 2% after each hurdle, and the reaction force when he lands on the third step has dropped to 80% of that in the flat state.

The time to clear the hurdle increased from 0.13 seconds for the first hurdle to 0.14 seconds for the third hurdle, widening the gap with Xie Wenjun to 2.5 body lengths.

Fan Jiang's "starting advantage" completely disappeared after the third hurdle. His lack of core control between hurdles was amplified at high altitude, and his torso lean angle fluctuated between 25° and 30° when clearing hurdles, resulting in inconsistent stride length.

When clearing the fourth hurdle, the toe of the swinging leg almost touched the hurdle, and the foot staggered when landing, causing the stride frequency to drop sharply to 3.5 steps per second.

Wei Ji, Yang Lu, and Li Haifeng have been left at least two body lengths behind, and their eight-step hurdle rhythm has been completely disrupted by the combined effects of high altitude and tailwind.

When clearing the fifth hurdle, Li Haifeng's take-off leg angle deviated by 5°, causing the hurdle to shake and further slowing down his pace.

Bang bang bang.

After the fifth column was completed, Xie Wenjun's technical advantage had transformed into an "overwhelming lead".

His hurdle rhythm is like a "precisely running clock," with the landing time of each step having an error of no more than 0.05 seconds. His breathing and hurdle clearance form an adaptive pattern of "exhaling over the hurdle and inhaling upon landing," which improves oxygen delivery efficiency by 10% compared to conventional breathing methods.

The timer beside the track showed that he had completed the task in 7.8 seconds, which was 0.1 seconds faster than his time at the same time last year!
even more!

The benefits brought by technological upgrades and the achievements in adapting to high altitudes.

They blended perfectly on the track between the hurdles.

When passing the sixth hurdle, Xie Wenjun made a "minor adjustment" to her swinging leg.

His landing stride was 0.03 meters longer than the preset value. His core muscles contracted instantly, shortening the next stride by 0.02 meters and quickly returning to the rhythm.

This ability to "dynamically adjust" is the result of his training through "wind tunnel simulation training".

Repeatedly practice rhythm correction between hurdles under different wind speeds to allow muscles to develop a "conditioned reflex adjustment".

Zhang Honglin had just passed the fifth hurdle. The lag in his eight-step hurdle approach and the decrease in power at high altitude had brought his time to 8.5 seconds. Although he was 0.1 seconds faster than Fan Jiang, he could only watch Xie Wenjun's back and grit his teeth to catch up.

"Xie Wenjun is already so far ahead, there's no suspense now!"

Yang Jian used this commentary on Liu Xiang before, but he didn't expect to have the opportunity to say it again after the latter retired.

That's really how it feels.

So awesome!

The seventh hurdle is the "endurance watershed" of the 110-meter hurdles.

Oxygen consumption peaks at high altitudes. Most athletes will experience a decrease in stride frequency between hurdles and an increase in hurdle clearance time.

But these problems.

None of these traits appeared in Xie Wenjun.

Xie Wenjun's technological advantages have once again become apparent.

His seven-step start allowed him to save 15% of his energy in the first six hurdles.

At this point, the force applied when pushing off the ground can still be maintained at 88% of the initial value.

The step frequency stabilized at 3.7 steps/second.

There was no decrease whatsoever.

His hurdling technique has now been upgraded to "energy-saving mode". The range of motion of the knee joint of the take-off leg has been reduced from 140° to 138°, reducing the effort required from the quadriceps.

When swinging the leg over the hurdle, the toes are slightly turned inward to further reduce air resistance. Although the hurdle clearing time increases slightly, it saves 5% of physical strength.

This balance of "energy saving without slowing down" is an experience he summarized during high-altitude training.

By fine-tuning the range of motion, the optimal balance between endurance and speed can be found.

Whether they would win or lose was a foregone conclusion before the game even started.

Just as Liu Xiang said before.

In Asian competitions, as long as he doesn't make a mistake...

Then he is the champion.

Now this interpretation applies to Xie Wenjun.

At least domestically, and in Asia.

Both of these explanations make sense.

Liu Xiang's ability to dominate in intercontinental competitions.

He inherited most of it.

After all, in the original timeline, he was the number one in Asia.

They came to Ersha Island back in 08.

So many years have passed since the training began.

It would be strange if it weren't presentable.

Moreover, as a member of the post-90s generation.

I hope to deliver my best performance at the World Championships in Beijing.

It is a fundamental desire of an athlete.

There are no athletes from within the country.

I don't want to compete in the Bird's Nest.

Emerging talent.

Leaving behind a legend.

Even if we can't leave behind a legend, leaving behind data and a silhouette is fine too.

and so.

Whether he wins or loses isn't really a concern for Xie Wenjun, because he knows he can't lose anyway.

These people in China are simply not good enough for him.

He came here for only one purpose.

We took advantage of the altitude and wind speed of Qing Tang City to change from eight to seven.

Break through your own limits and barriers.

To reach even greater heights.

Prepare for the World Championships in Beijing.

Bang bang bang.

After the eighth column lands.

Xie Wenjun's eyes were already fixed on the finish line.

His torso leaned forward to 30°, and with the help of the tailwind, his stride length once again exceeded 2.7 meters. His pace between hurdles shifted from "stability as the main focus" to "speed as the key".

At this point, Zhang Honglin's endurance issues began to surface. When he passed the eighth hurdle, his pushing force decreased to 75% of its initial value, and his stride frequency dropped to 3.5 steps per second.

The hurdle clearance time has been increased to 0.15 seconds.

The gap between him and Xie Wenjun widened to nine body lengths.

Although Fan Jiang was trying to accelerate, she was slightly unbalanced when passing the ninth hurdle due to excessive core consumption in the early stage, and had to adjust half a step after landing.

Actually, he was in pretty good form. If he could have maintained his speed later on, he might even have finished second, but...

Inconsistency is a common problem for athletes in the traditional series.

Take this into account.

Fan Jiang did not perform well here.

Suddenly, something unexpected happened.

That seems reasonable. The ninth column is Xie Wenjun's "sprint warm-up".

He increased his arm swing amplitude from 30 centimeters to 35 centimeters, using the inertia of the arm swing to increase his stride frequency, while his core muscles contracted fully, concentrating all remaining energy on pushing off the ground.

In the thin air, his breathing rate changed from "two steps per breath" to "three steps per two breaths".

High-frequency, shallow breathing maximizes the efficiency of gas exchange in the lungs, ensuring that fast-twitch muscle fibers receive sufficient oxygen before sprinting.

The tenth column is the next column.

The audience at Qing Tang City had already stood up and cheered. Xie Wenjun's hurdling movement was as smooth as flowing water, with the take-off, leap, and landing all done in one go, without the slightest hesitation.

This is extremely rare at high altitudes, especially in the tenth hurdle, which is enough to prove his technical stability and endurance reserves.

Upon landing, his push-off force reached 90%, and his stride length reached 2.8 meters.

Like a bolt of lightning, it sped towards the finish line.

Because they are so far ahead, they are only seen from behind.

Even with a particular person.

There is some slight overlap.

By this time, he had completely pulled the others away.

Liu Xiang watched with great anticipation.

He knew what his junior brother's target was with that shot.
Then let's go.

Do it.

When Xie Wenjun was 10 meters away from the finish line, her arm swing reached its maximum range, her shoulder muscles contracted at full force, and her body lunged forward.

The 1.3 m/s tailwind became his "final boost," pushing him from behind and increasing his sprint speed by another 0.1 m/s.

His eyes were fixed on the white finish line.

Core muscles are tight.

Ensure stability when leaning forward.

Avoid losing balance when crossing the finish line.

At this point, his technique has entered "sprint mode," with the contraction of every muscle, the rhythm of every breath, and the exertion of every joint precisely aimed at the ultimate goal of "crossing the finish line in the shortest time."

The technological upgrades, high-altitude adaptability, and on-the-spot explosive power are all fused into the final 10 meters of the track.

The moment he landed, his push-off technique completed its "final upgrade".

When he landed in the tenth column, his foot touched the ground 0.5 centimeters to the left of the preset position. This is a slight deviation that can easily cause imbalance at high altitudes, but his core muscles completed the "emergency correction" in 0.008 seconds.

The right external oblique muscle contracts instantly, causing the pelvis to shift slightly to the right by 1 cm. At the same time, the left knee joint extension angle increases from 138° to 142°, releasing an additional 5% of the pushing force.

This "correction upon deviation" response stemmed from his 100 sets of "hurdle landing deviation training" before the competition.

Markers ranging from 0.3 to 0.8 centimeters are randomly placed on the track to simulate landing deviation scenarios, allowing nerves and muscles to form a "conditioned reflex-like error correction," thus maintaining stable posture even during high-speed sprints.

Scientific training.

For athletes, maintaining good performance is the fundamental guarantee.

There is no such aspect.

Unstable.

In fact, this is the norm.

stable.

That would be a luxury.

With 8 meters to go, his arm swing technique completely switched to "sprint boost mode".

The arm swing amplitude, which was previously 35 centimeters, has suddenly increased to 40 centimeters, and the elbow angle has increased from 83° to 90°!

The arm swing trajectory is no longer close to the body.

Instead, it swings in a "front and back fan shape".

This adjustment is not about blindly exerting force, but rather about using the inertia of the arm swing to provide the body with additional forward traction. When the left arm swings back, the deltoid and latissimus dorsi muscles contract synchronously, pulling the left shoulder backward and creating a "reaction force boost".

When the right arm swings forward, the pectoralis major muscle tightens, converting the kinetic energy of the arm swing into the speed of the body moving forward. Each arm swing is like fueling the "sprint engine", increasing the stride frequency from 3.7 steps/second to 3.9 steps/second.

Although it has not reached its peak.

However, it is precisely suited to the needs of the final stage of exertion.

There are no railings to block the view.

My stride frequency naturally increased as well.

The last 6 meters.

Endurance reserves at high altitudes became the key to breaking through the finish line.

Most athletes were already experiencing fatigue of fast-twitch muscle fibers, leading to a decrease in the force of their push-off, but Xie Wenjun maintained a stable output thanks to her "layered energy supply strategy".

Type IIa fast-twitch fibers still dominate the force generation at 90% intensity, while Type IIb fast-twitch fibers assist at 75% intensity.

Avoid overactivation that could lead to spasms.

His breathing pattern also switched to "high-frequency shallow breathing," breathing 2.5 times per second, with each exhalation volume compressed to 50% of the normal volume, ensuring efficient gas exchange in the lungs without allowing deep breathing to disrupt core stability.

At this moment, his chest cavity rose and fell by only 2 centimeters, far less than Zhang Honglin's 6 centimeters. His core rigidity remained as solid as ever, and his torso tilted forward at a 30° angle without any loosening.

Like a precision-guided arrow.

Closer to the finish line.

The last 4 meters.

Xie Wenjun initiated the "extreme pressure of leaning forward".

He fully contracted his core neck muscles, causing his head to press slightly forward and downward, with his chin almost touching his chest. This movement lowered his center of gravity by 0.8 centimeters, reducing his frontal area by 4%. The 1.3 m/s tailwind then became a "close-fitting booster," with the airflow passing between his back and thighs, creating a tiny "cushion effect" that minimized forward resistance.

At the same time, his arm swing speed reached its peak, the time difference between the forward and backward swings was compressed to 0.1 seconds, and the end of the left arm's backward swing was seamlessly connected with the beginning of the right arm's forward swing.

There was absolutely no "gap in exerting force".

The traction force generated by the swing arm increases the propulsion force by 3% with each step.

2 meters!
His eyes were fixed on the finish line.

The pupils contracted slightly due to intense focus.

At this point, his legs had entered a state of "inertia-driven" movement. Pushing off the ground no longer relied on the muscles to exert force actively, but instead used the kinetic energy accumulated in the previous steps to complete the "momentum forward rush".

The range of motion of the knee joint is naturally reduced to 135°, and the ankle joint is kept slightly taut to avoid unnecessary movements that consume energy.

But the core muscles are still working at full capacity.

The rectus abdominis and erector spinae muscles are taut like steel cables, ensuring that the body does not lean backward due to inertia and maintaining the optimal posture for "leaning forward to cross the line".

The sunlight of Qing Tang City fell right on his shoulder at that moment.

The number "52" on the bib number was blown by the wind and clung tightly to the skin.

It was as if he had become one with his body.

Together, we will strive for the final destination.

With only 1 meter left to the finish line, Xie Wenjun made the "final sprint move".

His upper body suddenly lunged forward, his shoulders dropped slightly, his chest thrust forward, and his arms swung to his sides, all his strength focused on "making his chest cross the finish line first."

This move was a specific technique he honed during training to improve his finishing skills.

By analyzing 100 finish line crossings using high-speed cameras, it was determined that "leaning the chest forward by 2 centimeters" can shorten the finish line crossing time by 0.01 seconds. This seemingly minor adjustment is the key to victory in top-level competitions.

At this moment, the angle between his body and the ground narrowed to 28°, almost a "ground-hugging sprint".

The tailwind of 1.3 meters per second came into play one last time, gently pushing against his back.

To make the dive maneuver smoother and faster.

joke.

If your crimping technique isn't good enough.

You'd really be embarrassed to say you've stayed on Ersha Island.

Having lived on Ersha Island for so many years, how could Xie Wenjun not have her own suitable crimping techniques?

The line-crossing in a sprint is even more dramatic than in a sprint.

This is because their bodies are in a better state for this diving pattern after completing 10 hurdles.

And there's one more thing.

This is the diving pattern.

It is easier to adjust the time when needed.

To obtain better correction values.

My chest cavity almost scraped against the runway.

Exaggerated stitching.

However, it is extremely common in the 110-meter hurdles.

Xie Wenjun's pupils were now filled only with the sensor line embedded in the ground—

He suddenly lowered his shoulders and pulled in his stomach.

The rectus abdominis muscle is taut like a steel cable stretched to its limit.

He forcefully pushed his upper body forward another half inch.

The muscles in the shoulder blades throbbed with extreme force.

Sweat dripped down his jawline and onto the track.

The splashed plastic particles hadn't even hit the ground yet.

The sharp beep of the finish line timer pierced the track.

The fluctuating numbers suddenly froze at... 13.06 seconds.

then.

An amendment.

It jumped to 13.04.

The momentum carried him forward three steps before he staggered and braced himself on his knees. His legs trembled slightly uncontrollably, not from weakness, but from the physiological tremors of his muscles after a high-intensity burst of energy.

He was panting heavily, the thin air entering his lungs feeling like it was carrying fine sand, and each breath was accompanied by violent rise and fall of his chest.

But at that moment, he wanted to turn around and see clearly.

What results did I achieve with this shot?

This is what he most wants to know.

Turn around and look.

The first thing that catches the eye is the red number "13.04 seconds" on the timer screen.

Xie Wenjun's gaze lingered on that string of numbers for two seconds.

His clenched fist, white as ice, suddenly slammed into the air.

A muffled roar erupted from his throat.

There was no hysteria, but it conveyed the agonizing three months of technical adjustments, the struggle to adapt to high altitude, and the fierce competition between every hurdle...

Everything was contained in that one sound.

"13.04!"

"The final time is revised to 13.04 seconds!"

"Xie Wenjun opened version 13.05!!!!!!!!!"

"Achieve my personal best ever!!!!!!!!!"

"This result was achieved without enough pressure. If someone had put enough pressure on him for that shot, he might have done even better!!!"

"Although it's at a high altitude, and although the wind speed for this shot exceeded one meter, as long as I can exceed 13.05 seconds and my body memorizes this speed range, then it will be beneficial for the upcoming World Athletics Championships in Beijing..."

"There are indescribable benefits!"

Outside the television set.

Liu Xiang looked at his junior teammate who had run a good time of 13.04 seconds.

I couldn't help but clap and applaud as well.

Such performance is commendable.

This refers to the 2015 World Championships in Beijing.

Even without myself.

The short span of the Chinese nation.

It is competitive enough.

in this era.

The era of gold giants has come to an end.

There are no giants capable of opening up a 13-second window.

Xie Wenjun.

This is the current result.

It already has enough competitiveness.

leftover.

It all depends on his performance on the day.

Liu Xiang believed it.

I spent seven years on Ersha Island.

He didn't waste his life.

Just like how I've lived on Ersha Island for so many years.

It wasn't all for nothing.

Bird's Nest.

That's the arena for my junior brother.

Although I feel a little regretful that I can't stand in the Bird's Nest again.

But after London.

He has no regrets.

Perhaps the Bird's Nest.

I am destined to be unable to find release there.

All I could see were the other red figures.

Can someone replace me?

It shines there.

hope.

They can.

hope.

Xie Wenjun.

His own junior brother.

can.
