The Su God of the Reopening of the Sports Arena

Chapter 2448 Youth cannot be relived; now is the best time.

The rest of the students actually did quite well.

For example, Ahurei, who ranked fourth, also has 22.36.

Wei Yongli also broke the 23-second barrier again.

He ran a time of 22.97 seconds.

Although the ranking was relatively low.

But at least it's relatively easy to break 23 seconds in world competitions.

Otherwise, if it doesn't open in 23 seconds, you'll just be a runner-up on the international stage.

They won't have any presence at all.

They're not even qualified to be experience monsters for others.

Men's 110m hurdles.

It was equally wonderful.

Although Xie Wenjun managed to break the 13.05-second barrier by taking advantage of the mountainous terrain and wind speed in Qing Tang City.

But when they come to the international stage, they still need to retest themselves.

After all, they haven't had a major competition in two years, and they've all gotten used to it.

Many people will definitely put in a lot of effort this year.

as predicted.

The men's 110-meter hurdles, which was originally scheduled to be held in Paris, was moved back to Lausanne as a tribute to Liu Xiang.

In that case, this match can be seen as a preview of this year's BJ World Championships.

At this point, there was only one month left until the BJ World Championships.

In addition, Lausanne is usually a place where it is easier to achieve good results.

Every contestant who came here was eager to compete.

I want to show off my skills here.

"We can see the competitors have come up," Yang Jian said.

"Sergei Shubenkov, from Russia, is characterized by his strong explosive power at the start, precise control of the distance between the take-off point and the hurdle, good hip flexibility when clearing hurdles, and the ability to quickly complete the transition from take-off to hurdle clearance with smooth transitions between hurdles."

"Orlando Ortega, from Cuba, is characterized by: a short reaction time at the first hurdle, full power in the coordinated push and swing, a large extension of the take-off leg, and a reasonable forward lean angle when attacking the hurdle, which effectively lowers the center of gravity and lays the foundation for the rhythm between subsequent hurdles."

"Alik Harris, from the United States: His reaction was quick, but his swing leg lift was slightly insufficient when attacking the first hurdle, resulting in a slightly longer landing time after clearing the hurdle, which affected his initial rhythm to some extent."

"David Oliver, from the United States: As the defending world champion, he has a stable stride frequency at the start, quickly transitions into acceleration after the first step, actively folds his swing leg when attacking the hurdle, and has a short time on the hurdle, demonstrating mature hurdling technique."

"Pascal Martino-Lagarde, from France: He has good balance control during the start, his knee angle is appropriate when taking off, and he can quickly transition between hurdles after clearing them. However, there is still room for improvement in the efficiency of his push-off."

"Xie Wenjun, from China, is characterized by her use of a seven-step technique to approach the first hurdle. She has a scientifically distributed stride length at the start, gradually increases her stride frequency in the first seven steps, concentrates leg power at the start of the stride, and noticeably shifts her body's center of gravity forward at the moment of attacking the hurdle. By using the seven-step rhythm, she can establish an acceleration momentum between hurdles earlier and reduce the adjustment time between hurdles."

……

After the athletes finished their brief introductions...

The game is about to begin.

"Xie Wenjun was assigned to lane 7, which is not a particularly good position, but it's not bad either. Our athlete Xie Wenjun recently ran a new career high of 13.04 seconds in the national selection trials."

"This result is still quite competitive at the moment."

"Let's see how they perform on the international stage."

Xie Wenjun was also eager to try.

After reaching new heights, naturally, one wants to test their skills against strong opponents.

See if you have really improved.

The Olympic Stadium in Lausanne, Switzerland, was bathed in a cold silver hue as dusk fell.

The evening breeze swept past the electronic timer beside the runway.

The "19:35" flashing on the screen is like a countdown drumbeat.

Xie Wenjun, in lane six, bent down to tighten her shoelaces, her fingertips tracing the texture of the studs embedded in the synthetic track.

The letters "SU" on his red boots were particularly eye-catching under the lights. Dimitri Basco, in lane seven, was doing high knees towards the hurdles. The Frenchman's muscles were taut and hard under his tight-fitting sportswear, and he was repeatedly reciting the rhythm mantra between the hurdles.

Garfield Darryl, in lane eight, appeared relaxed, leaning against the railing to catch his breath, his gaze sweeping over the 10 hurdles ahead. These 1.067-meter-high metal hurdles gleamed coldly under the lights, and the 13.72-meter distance from the starting line to the first hurdle was the "life-or-death line" for all the runners.

Alek Harris kept slapping his thigh muscles, the explosive power unique to American athletes was ready to be unleashed in the taut lines of his calves. He glanced at Xie Wenjun in lane four, his eyes filled with a scrutinizing attitude towards this Asian.

Although Xie Wenjun achieved some success in Moscow.

But the other honors are still insufficient.

They still make people underestimate them.

Sergei Shubenkov is doing a hip stretch. Russians are known for their fluid technique. His fingertips trace the top of the hurdles, as if measuring the angle of each hurdle.

David Oliver, meanwhile, closed his eyes to rest. The 33-year-old American veteran had experienced countless major competitions, and his reaction time was once world-class. At this moment, he was using the steady breathing in his chest to mask his desire for the championship.

set.

The athletes are all getting ready.

The starting signal, carrying an electric current, passed through the loudspeaker. Xie Wenjun felt his heart pound in his chest. His gaze was fixed on the first hurdle 13.72 meters ahead, and he could see the tense backs of the athletes on his left and right sides in his peripheral vision.

Ortega's hips were slightly raised, a typical forward-leaning starting posture, while Oliver maintained a steady crouch, revealing the veteran's composure at this moment.

Bang————————

The moment the starting gun fired, it was as if a thunderbolt had exploded on the track.

Xie Wenjun pushed off the ground with his right foot first, and the powerful reaction force propelled his body forward. His stride frequency was 0.2 seconds faster than during training. He deliberately shortened his stride length in the first two steps to ensure that he could step on the preset acceleration point in the third step.

Basco started a little slowly, and when he pushed off with his right foot, the angle of his force was off, causing a slight, barely perceptible sway in his body.

Ortega's start was textbook perfect. The Cuban completed the push-off and swing transition 0.13 seconds after the gun went off, his stride frequency so fast it was almost a blur. He raised his center of gravity to its highest point in the first four steps and charged toward the first hurdle.

Oliver's pace was still a bit too big, and his initial reaction wasn't as good as before. However, although he was slower than Ortega, he had the advantage of a stable rhythm and even force with each step, like a precision machine steadily accelerating.

Bang bang bang bang bang.

When Xie Wenjun landed on her fifth step, her right foot landed precisely on the acceleration point marked in her memory.

He could feel his leg muscles unleash even greater power in an instant.

The sixth step subtly increases the stride length to 1.95 meters, laying the groundwork for the seventh step's takeoff.

Harris, in lane five beside her, had already caught up. The American athlete's stride was a few centimeters wider than Xie Wenjun's. The two figures were almost parallel on the track, and the "swish" sound of their spikes scraping the track intertwined, like a silent race.

Shubenkov's starting pace was slightly conservative. Russians are better at gaining momentum in the later stages of a race. He maintained a stable acceleration curve for the first six steps without deliberately pursuing explosive power in the early stages.

Darryl made a small mistake; his center of gravity shifted when he landed on the fifth step, forcing him to adjust his body posture slightly, which put him half a body length behind Harris.

When Xie Wenjun took her seventh step, her right foot landed firmly on the starting point 1.5 meters from the first hurdle—this is the core key to the "seven-step hurdle takeoff"—

It completes the take-off preparation one step earlier than the traditional eight-step approach.

This saves 0.02 seconds of time when the hurdle is cleared.

He could feel his left leg beginning to buckle, preparing to attack the hurdle.

At this moment, Ortega had already completed his leap, his body arching as he jumped into the air.

Ortega's hurdling is a spectacular sight. When the Cuban takes the hurdle, he fully extends his left leg, almost straightens his knee, leans his body forward at a 30-degree angle, and swings his right arm forward like a sharp knife slicing through the air.

His swing leg folded tightly, with his toes only 5 centimeters from the top of the hurdle, perfectly avoiding the hurdle's obstruction. The entire hurdle clearance was as smooth as flowing water, taking only 0.38 seconds from takeoff to landing.

Oliver, who followed closely behind, had a completely different style of attacking the hurdles. The American veteran focused more on stability, with his center of gravity slightly higher when he took off, and his swing leg lifted 3 centimeters higher than Ortega's. Although he sacrificed some speed, he was able to ensure that he would not hit the hurdle when clearing it.

After his take-off leg pushed off the ground, he quickly retracted, and when he landed, his left foot landed precisely 1.3 meters behind the hurdle, and he transitioned into running between the hurdles with almost no cushioning.

Xie Wenjun was in the take-off phase at this moment. His left leg was the take-off leg. When he pushed off the ground, his waist exerted force to make his body lean forward. His swing leg quickly folded with the knee as the axis, and his toes pointed straight in front of the hurdle.

Because he used a seven-step approach to the hurdle, his takeoff time was 0.05 seconds later than Ortega's, but 0.03 seconds earlier than Harris's eight-step approach. As his body cleared the hurdle, Xie Wenjun deliberately tightened his core to reduce his time in the air, his eyes already locked on the next landing point.

Harris's hurdle attack had a minor flaw. The American athlete didn't lift his swing leg enough during the take-off, and his heel brushed against the top of the hurdle with a soft "thud." Although he didn't knock down the hurdle, it disrupted his rhythm, causing a brief disruption in his stride frequency upon landing.

Shubenkov had already caught up. The Russian's hurdling movements were smooth and fluid. The flexibility of his hip joints allowed him to maintain his balance while hurdling, and after landing, he quickly transitioned into a two-step hurdle run, without losing any speed.

Darien's hurdle speed was too slow, and his push-off force was insufficient, causing his body to stay in the air for too long, resulting in him landing half a body length behind Shubenkov.

Basco's situation was even worse. The Frenchman's starting point was too close to the hurdle, forcing him to adjust his body posture. His body swayed noticeably when clearing the hurdle, and he stumbled upon landing, instantly falling behind the riders in front of him.

When Xie Wenjun landed, his left foot landed firmly on the pre-set landing point. Without pausing, he immediately pushed off with his right leg and turned to run between the hurdles.

At this point, he was in fourth place, a few paces behind Ortega, forming the second group with Oliver and Shubenkov. Ortega had already begun his assault on the second hurdle; the Cuban's stride frequency between hurdles was incredibly fast, far exceeding that of the other runners, and his figure on the track was receding into the distance.

Oliver realized he couldn't let Ortega pull ahead, so after clearing the hurdle he deliberately increased his stride frequency, increasing the force of each push-off, and his figure gradually drew closer to Ortega.

Shubenkov maintained his own pace, keeping his stride between hurdles at a steady 1.8 meters, and steadily advanced with fluid technique.

Xie Wenjun is still adjusting his hurdle rhythm. His seven-step approach to the hurdle gives him an advantage in the time it takes to clear the first hurdle, but his stride frequency between hurdles has not yet reached its optimal state. He can feel his leg muscles working continuously, but he is not yet at his best.

After adjusting her pace, Harris began to accelerate, and the American athlete's explosive power gradually became apparent. Her stride length between hurdles increased to 1.9 meters, and she gradually narrowed the gap with Xie Wenjun. Darryl and Basco, on the other hand, fell completely behind, with the two being nearly 1 meter behind the athletes ahead of them. The sound of their spikes scraping the track carried a hint of helplessness.

When Ortega cleared the second hurdle, he was already 0.06 seconds ahead of Oliver, with Shubenkov, Xie Wenjun, and Harris close behind, forming a pattern of "one man in the lead + three contenders".

Cheers erupted at the Lausanne stadium as spectators waved national flags and stared intently at the runners on the track. No one knew who would ultimately win this first hurdle race.

The unknown is what makes things interesting.

When Xie Wenjun cleared the second hurdle, he finally found his rhythm between the hurdles and increased his stride frequency to 3.9 steps per second. He could feel the wind whistling past his ears and Shubenkov's figure was right next to him.

He knew that his advantage at the first hurdle was just the beginning. Each of the next eight hurdles could change the course of the race, and his "seven-step hurdle approach" technique would face its most severe test in this competition among top athletes.

When Ortega jumped over the third hurdle.

The Cuban's advantage has widened to 0.08 seconds. His stride frequency between hurdles remains consistently at 4.2 steps per second. His take-off leg is as taut as a steel spring, and his swing leg lands crisply after folding. Every hurdle he clears is like a precise mechanical motion.

As the figures on the track moved further ahead, the Cuban flags in the stands were waved more and more enthusiastically. Ortega could even hear his compatriots shouting "Go! Go!" in Spanish, which made him push off the ground even harder.

So fierce?
The next Dalon Robles?

Oliver did not fall behind; the American veteran's hurdle rhythm was as steady as a pendulum.

He deliberately adjusted his stride length, keeping the distance between the two hurdles at 1.95 meters, which ensured his speed in clearing the hurdles while avoiding imbalance caused by excessive stride length.

As he cleared the fourth hurdle, his swing leg almost grazed the top of the hurdle, and when he landed, his left foot landed precisely on the acceleration point. Using the reaction force, he sprinted forward, narrowing the gap with Ortega to 0.05 seconds.

Xie Wenjun was currently engaged in a fierce battle with Shubenkov. Xie Wenjun, in lane four, had a rhythm advantage built up over her seven-step approach to the hurdle, making her hurdle clearing speed 0.02 seconds faster than the Russian. However, Shubenkov's stride between hurdles was more threatening—

The Russian could extend Xie Wenjun's stride by 10 centimeters with each step, and the two took turns leading on the track.

This is what the Russians are like now.

Compared to the beginning of the season.

It's much better now.

When attacking the fifth hurdle, Xie Wenjun pushed off the ground with a slightly faster stride.

The angle of his body leaning forward was too large, and there was a slight sway when he landed. Shubenkov seized the opportunity and instantly overtook half a body length ahead.

"Keep the pace!" Xie Wenjun silently repeated the coach's instructions to himself. He took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing rate, and increased his stride frequency between hurdles to 4.0 steps per second.

Before taking the sixth hurdle, he deliberately shortened the length of his penultimate step to ensure a precise take-off point. As his left leg pushed off the ground and he leaped into the air, his right arm swung forward, using momentum to propel his body forward. Upon landing after clearing the hurdle, his right leg immediately pushed off the ground, bringing him close to Shubenkov once again.

The two rushed towards the seventh hurdle side by side.

Bang bang bang.

The swishing sound of cleats scraping the track blended into a rapid war drumbeat.

Harris gradually increased his strength after the fifth hurdle, and the American athlete's explosive power began to show in the middle and later stages. His take-off leg power was amazing, and he could push his body a greater distance when pushing off the ground, increasing his stride length between hurdles to 1.90 meters.

As he passed the seventh hurdle, he cut diagonally past Xie Wenjun and Shubenkefu on the right, instantly joining the front of the third group and creating a four-man melee.

Darryl and Basco were completely outmatched. Darryl's swing leg didn't lift high enough when he attempted to hit the sixth hurdle, and his heel slammed heavily against the hurdle.

With a loud crash, the hurdle collapsed, completely disrupting his rhythm. After landing, he had to slow down and adjust, widening the gap between him and the runners in front of him by nearly 2 meters.

Although hitting hurdles is a common occurrence in hurdle races.

But that doesn't mean you won't be affected.

This isn't the soft-sided kind from Japan.

If you want to remain unaffected, you'd need an incredibly robust core and exceptional stability.

Do you think you're Alan Johnson?

Other people can hit the fence without any problems, but if you do it, it could be a big deal.

Bang bang bang.

Basco's technical shortcomings became increasingly apparent in the middle and later stages of the race. His hurdle-crossing sequence was chaotic, sometimes taking three steps and sometimes two, wasting extra energy with each hurdle and causing him to fall further and further behind.

The eighth hurdle became the turning point. Ortega made a rare mistake when clearing the hurdle; his take-off point was too close to the hurdle, resulting in his swing leg not folding tightly enough, his toes brushing the top of the hurdle, and his body briefly losing balance in the air.

Upon landing, he stumbled, his stride frequency dropping instantly to 3.8 steps per second. Oliver seized this golden opportunity, using his steady hurdle-clearing technique to quickly close the gap, and the two raced side-by-side toward the ninth hurdle, as the cheers in the stadium reached their peak.

Xie Wenjun was engaged in a fierce competition with Shubenkov and Harris. After clearing the eighth hurdle, Shubenkov's hip joint began to fatigue, his flexibility during the hurdle clear decreased significantly, and his stride frequency slowed down after landing.

Xie Wenjun seized the opportunity, and his advantage in the hurdles became apparent once again. He cleared the hurdles 0.01 seconds faster than Shubenkov and was the first to reach the ninth hurdle.

Harris, on the other hand, was too focused on speed when clearing the hurdle. His take-off leg was at an off-center angle, causing his center of gravity to shift upon landing, which allowed Xie Wenjun to pull ahead by half a body length.

Before the ninth hurdle, two large groups formed on the track: Ortega and Oliver were leading the way, Xie Wenjun was close behind, and Shubenkov and Harris were close behind.

With only two hurdles remaining to the finish line, every step and every hurdle clear could determine the final ranking.

The evening breeze carried the cheers of the spectators across the track.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The tension stems mainly from the relatively small gap between participants, which is a potential turning point in short-distance events. This is because short-distance events exhibit both extremes of unpredictability and stability.

Therefore, it is the most likely place for dark horses to emerge.

Straight track project.

Instead, it's the 110-meter hurdles.

Just when Oliver thought he had turned the tables and finally won first place,

Ortega readjusted his position in front of the ninth column.

The Cuban took a deep breath and increased his pace back to 4.1 steps per second.

young.

It's about power.

Looking at him...

The explosive power of the stride kicks off the ground, propelling the body over the hurdles like an arrow released from a bow. Without pausing upon landing, it charges towards the last hurdle.

Oliver felt it too.

It seems I saw it.

The person I used to be.

but.

Now is not the time to think about that.

If you want to win him over, you'll have to see if Oliver will agree easily.

After all, he is the defending champion this time.

We will not hand over victory so easily.

Bang bang bang.

Oliver followed closely behind, the American veteran's eyes burning with fighting spirit. His hurdling remained steady, putting pressure on Ortega with every step.

Xie Wenjun demonstrated excellent technical stability when clearing the ninth hurdle. His hurdle-clearing rhythm was fully developed, his take-off point was precise, his swing leg was tightly folded, and his body center of gravity was well controlled when clearing the hurdle. After landing, his stride frequency reached 4.0 steps per second, narrowing the gap with the two ahead of him to 0.1 seconds.

Shubenkov was already exhausted, and his hurdling technique became noticeably distorted, allowing Xie Wenjun to pull ahead by nearly a meter. Harris then made another mistake at the ninth hurdle, suffering a leg muscle spasm during takeoff and having to slow down upon landing, thus ending his medal hopes.

The competition between Ortega and Oliver reached a fever pitch before the final hurdle.

The Cuban took the lead, his left leg pushing off the ground with veins bulging, his body leaning forward at a 35-degree angle, his swinging leg flashing over the hurdle like lightning.

Oliver took off almost at the same time as him. The American veteran's hurdling technique focused more on balance, and his left foot landed precisely on the acceleration point. The two figures almost overlapped on the track, and neither could gain an absolute advantage.

Xie Wenjun knew that it would be difficult for her to catch up with the two people ahead of her, so she decided to aim for third place.

Maintaining third place won't be easy, as teams like Russia are closing in.

He was less than half a body length away from him, but his breathing had become rapid, and his lungs felt like they were about to burst, yet he did not relax in the slightest.

As he cleared the last hurdle, he pushed off with his left leg to its limit, his body tracing a smooth arc in the air. Upon landing, he felt a sharp pain in his leg muscles, but he gritted his teeth, channeling all his strength into his right leg, and sprinted toward the finish line.

It's just a slight change in rhythm caused by taking a step up.

Actually, the altitude isn't that high; it's just a matter of adjusting your body afterwards.

It also fell short of expectations.

This gave the Russians an opportunity.

Ortega began his full-speed sprint.

He leaned forward sharply, swinging his arms wildly, trying to use momentum to cross the finish line. Oliver was not to be outdone; the American veteran's explosive power erupted in the final moments, his stride frequency instantly increasing to 4.3 steps per second, his figure gradually closing in on Ortega, the gap between the two steadily narrowing.

The shadow of the tenth hurdle had just passed beneath my feet.

The final 10-meter sprint becomes the ultimate battleground that determines fate.

Ortega's body still carried the momentum from clearing the hurdle. Almost the instant he landed, the Cuban lowered his center of gravity to its lowest point, leaning forward like a cheetah poised for battle, his arms swinging back and forth with exaggerated amplitude, each swing seemingly injecting new power into his legs.

His cadence soared to 4.4 steps per second.

The spikes were driven deep into the plastic track.

A series of rapid "tap-tap" sounds were left behind as the distance to the finish line visibly decreased.

Oliver followed closely behind, his jaw clenched, and the 33-year-old's leg muscles displayed astonishing resilience at that moment.

The American veteran abandoned his adherence to rhythm and focused on increasing his stride frequency, putting all his strength into each push-off, causing his chest to heave violently.

He was only half a body length behind Ortega, his eyes fixed on the Cuban's back, trying to overtake him in the last ten meters.

Xie Wenjun quickly adjusted her posture after clearing the hurdle, but she was still affected by the flaw in clearing the 10th hurdle.

His stride length remained stable at 1.9 meters, and his stride frequency was maintained at 4.1 steps per second. His breathing was so rapid that it almost tore his throat apart, but his core strength remained tight. It can only be said that his training over the past few years has not been in vain. Even at this pace, he can still barely ensure that his body will not slow down significantly due to imbalance.

Five meters from the finish line, Ortega suddenly increased the amplitude of his arm swing, using the momentum of his arm to propel his body forward. His nose almost touched the ground, and his chest slammed into the sensor strip at the finish line.

"12.94!"

The electronic timer froze instantly as he crossed the finish line. The Cuban didn't even have time to slow down, staggering several meters before turning around, raising his hands above his head and roaring.

Oliver crossed the finish line just 0.04 seconds slower.

After crossing the finish line, the American veteran suddenly stopped, hands on his knees, panting heavily. When he looked up at the number "12.98" on the timer, a hint of regret flashed in his eyes, but it quickly turned into relief—in such a high-intensity competition, finishing with such a close time was the best proof of his perseverance.

He was also surprised.

This young Cuban player has grown to this level.

If he were younger, if he were in his prime, he believed he still had the ability to fight back, and might even be able to overtake others in the end.

But now I'm getting old.

He's no longer the raging bull Oliver of yesteryear.

Unexpectedly, he lost in the flat running section, which he usually excels at.

This is probably the cruelty of time.

Just when Xie Wenjun thought she could secure the bronze medal, a rapid scraping sound of shoe cleats suddenly came from behind her—

It is Shubenkov.

As the Russian cleared the last hurdle, he adjusted his landing posture with his exceptional hip flexibility, and his stride frequency, which had slowed down due to exhaustion, suddenly increased.

His stride was already 10 centimeters wider than Xie Wenjun's, and now every step he took felt like crossing a chasm, his figure approaching at a visible speed.

With 7 meters to go, Xie Wenjun caught a glimpse of a dark figure on the right side of the track out of the corner of her eye, and her heart sank.

He tried to increase his arm swing to boost his stride frequency, but after ten consecutive hurdle jumps, he had already exhausted the explosive power of his leg muscles.

Instead of increasing his stride frequency, he experienced slight instability due to excessive force, causing his center of gravity to sway slightly upon landing.

Shubenkov seized this fleeting opportunity. The Russian star channeled all the remaining strength in his left leg, his veins bulging as he pushed off the ground, propelling his body forward half a meter in an instant.

His upper body leaned forward dramatically, almost parallel to the track, and his arms swung wildly like windmills, forcefully... catching up with Xie Wenjun from the right.

Until.

They surpassed it.

As the two sprinted side by side, Xie Wenjun could even feel the heat emanating from Shubenkov's body and his heavy breathing.

Damn!

Xie Wenjun cursed under her breath.

In fact, he had a chance to overtake Shubenkov in this race. Some of the runners ahead of him were quite good. After all, although this is a small plateau, the altitude is different from the 2200 meters or more during the selection race.

In addition, the wind speed is also lower.

This made him feel something was off when he passed the 10th column.

This adjustment gave the Russians an opportunity.

Otherwise, proceed normally.

He should be able to secure third place.

Although it's impossible to open it directly for 13 seconds like the previous people.

But we won't lose.

But that's how competitions are.

Details determine success or failure.

You didn't handle it well, but others did.

That means you deserve to lose.

There's nothing to worry about.

"Oh dear, Shubenkov finally achieved the breakthrough."

"He finished third with a time of 13.06 seconds."

"Xie Wenjun, 13.07 seconds."

"Unfortunately, we ranked fourth."

"This match showed just how well these world-class players can adjust when facing upcoming major competitions."

"Several players broke the 13 mark in just one match."

"The intensity was immediately reduced."

"If Xie Wenjun wants to replicate the miracle of standing on the podium in Moscow."

"When we were at the Bird's Nest."

"We need to work harder, be smarter, and be able to make better use of our abilities."

Xie Wenjun looked at the grades.

Some things are not satisfactory.

It's not that he's dissatisfied with the result; if he had performed well, he wouldn't have had anything to say about it. But the problem is that he feels he could have run much better...

This makes me a little angry with myself.

Fortunately, there is still a month to make adjustments.

During the competition.

More guns, more rigorous physical training.

The complex situation is far more unpredictable than the Diamond League, which was decided by a single shot.

Of course, it was precisely because of the unpredictability that he had the opportunity to win against all odds.

Just like back in Moscow.

otherwise.

Two major competitions held on home soil in a row.

None of our own athletes made it to the podium.

That's really quite a bit.

Regret.

Believe.

This is not just about Xie Wenjun.

It is a source of deep pain for Liu Xiang, Sun Haiping, and a host of other domestic sprint hurdle athletes, sprint hurdle teams, and sprint hurdle professionals.

So, except for sprint events.

Short-term projects.

And isn't that also true?

He's holding his breath.

Even Liu Xiang, who was sitting at his doorstep watching TV.

Watching Yang Jian repeatedly mention Beijing, the Bird's Nest...

It's all inexplicable.

It stirred my thoughts.

Slightly somber.

A match played on home soil.

I really want to.

Give it a good run!
