The Su God of the Reopening of the Sports Arena

Chapter 2485 The 100-meter final, the gun is about to fire.

Xie Wenjun finally stood on the podium to receive the award.

Although it was only a joint bronze medal.

But it's already pretty good.

This is indeed very important.

A shot fired with all one's might.

We got the result we wanted.

It surpasses Moscow by more than 0.2 levels.

That's more than enough to justify his hard work over the past few years.

Even in such a fierce battle.

Such results can also be achieved.

What's not to like?

I'm already very satisfied.

The audience at the scene gave him the cheers he deserved.

This is no longer 08.

Everyone has grown up.

We know how to give respect to athletes who bring glory to the motherland.

Xie Wenjun had nothing to say.

I could only feel tears streaming down my face uncontrollably.

During the interview in front of the camera, she almost burst into tears.

Liu Xiang was speechless for a moment when he saw this scene.

after all.

He also wanted to stand on the podium back then.

Facing the 100,000 spectators at the Bird's Nest.

Even if it's just a silver medal.

At least there should be some explanation.

Instead of leaving hastily like that.

If you have a choice.

He would rather not have run in 07.

We also need to exchange our health for that of 08.

Of course, that was impossible. At that time, you were in a very difficult situation, and the public's interest in you was so high. How could you not run away?

It's impossible not to run.

There are a whole bunch of contracts and agreements tied to you, so you can't just say you won't run away.

In the face of the power of the greater good, the power of an individual is ultimately insignificant.

Even if your name is Liu Xiang.

They can only be swept forward by the tide of events.

This has always been a knot in his heart.

As a dominant leader in the 110-meter hurdles.

They've never brought a medal to the audience in their own backyard.

It is indeed a bit of a pity.

but it does not matter.

Now his junior apprentice has finally done it.

It made up for my regret.

The last unresolved issue.

That's solved it.

Just then, he saw the camera turn towards Sun Haiping. After seeing the camera, Sun Haiping turned her head and silently nodded towards Liu Xiang.

Then they cheered again.

Liu Xiang and he had been master and apprentice for so many years.

Of course, he immediately understood what his master meant.

It's time for me to let go.

The rest of the days can be enjoyed.

The rest of the things.

Let the next generation solve these problems.

He has already done his best.

……

The overall intensity of this competition is indeed very high.

Pascal Martino-Lagarde is fourth, but because there are two ties for third, he should actually be fifth, as both of them have a time of 13.17 seconds.

This surpasses Moscow's third-place finish.

That's not all.

Fifth is Dimitri Basco, who also finished in 13.17 seconds.

The sixth-ranked Omar McLeod also achieved a time of 13.18 seconds.

In other words, in this situation, the top 6, or rather the top 7, all achieved better results than the 3rd place finisher in Moscow.

Just think about how fast the times have progressed in the last two years.

He can be considered a super athlete, though not as strong as before, but super athletes rely on more talent.

It is not so easy to be born.

If we exclude superstar athletes, the average level of athletes as a whole is definitely much higher in this era.

There is no doubt about this.

A bronze medal from two years ago would only be considered bottom-tier now.

That's how cruel it is.

If that bronze medal from the Moscow World Championships were played today, your performance would only get you last place.

David Oliver, the champion of the Moscow World Championships, finished 7th due to a hurdle-hitting error; he was actually 8th, making him the last place finisher.

13 seconds 33.

The defending champion, who won the gold medal two years ago, has now fallen to last place.

This also proves that his era has completely ended.

future.

It's time to prepare for retirement.

"It was indeed a very exciting men's 110-meter hurdles race. Who could have imagined that the final result would be like this?" Yang Jian said with emotion as he looked at Xie Wenjun on the podium. "Don't be fooled by the fact that this bronze medal is the same as the one in Moscow. The overall strength has indeed improved by more than 0.2."

"This is four levels higher."

"He improved by four levels to retain this bronze medal at the Bird's Nest. I believe everyone can see his spirit."

"This also proves that the overall level of competition among athletes in the new era is getting higher and higher. I hope that our country's sports can also continue to work hard and keep up with the times."

"In the post-Liu Xiang era, we will continue to soar on the world stage."

"Alright, there's a commercial break after this. We'll be right back then for the 100-meter sprint battle."

"It's about to begin."

"I'll see you later."

……

Waiting area.

Yu Weili received a call from Feng Shuyong, who told him that he had done a good job and that as long as he could win more medals, especially at this World Championships.

It will definitely bring greater benefits to the track and field team.

This will lead to greater resource allocation to sprint teams.

This will bring more support to Ersha Island.

Feng Shuyong has now gone up there.

The matter of making public appearances naturally was mostly left to Yu Weili, who succeeded him.

Seeing Xie Wenjun manage to force his way into the top three under such circumstances, making the audience's blood boil at home, Yu Weili felt that he, as a sports person, was also doing the same.
"Don't worry, the sprint team's preparations will only become more thorough."

"Everyone told me this before the match."

"I will definitely give it my all in front of the audience at the Bird's Nest."

"Don't leave yourself with regrets."

"Good, I look forward to your triumphant return."

Feng Shuyong hung up the phone, satisfied.

His thoughts jumped between 08 and 15.

The final year was 15.

Freeze in the present moment.

"Go for it, young men and women! This is not only an opportunity for the whole nation, but also your own best opportunity."

"We must catch him!"

"This achievement is far more important than any achievement you may have in other major competitions."

……

China Sports Channel. Simultaneously at the Bird's Nest stadium.

The live stream camera returned.

"Alright, the women's 100-meter race is about to begin, the sprint battle is about to start."

"For the first time ever, two people dressed in red entered the Bird's Nest stadium for the event."

"Yes, being able to reach the finals is indeed a huge encouragement." Liu Xiang had clearly recovered and said, "If I can unleash my full potential in the finals, it will be very beneficial for my entire career."

“Liu Xiang is right,” Yang Jian added. “Just like Xie Wenjun just now, who says it’s impossible for us?”

"The women's 100m hurdles are just as competitive as the men's 110m hurdles this time."

"Chinese athlete Wei Yongli ran a time of 10.96 seconds, which was just barely enough for Xiao Q to cross the finish line."

"This is enough to prove that modern track and field has entered an era of increasingly higher overall competitiveness."

"Yes, it's definitely going to get higher and higher, so we must not let our guard down." Liu Xiang also said, "Hopefully we'll see other signs tonight."

“There is definitely hope,” Yang Jian said. “The reason is simple: you can see just how much has changed in this era.”

"The top three in each group all finished in 10.80+ seconds, which is terrifying. It can only be said that this year's Bird's Nest battle will be exciting and unpredictable."

"Alright, ladies, the athletes are now taking their places."

The director then switched the camera back to the scene.

The athletes began to appear one by one on their respective tracks.

Meanwhile, the finalists for the women's competition were displayed on the screen.

Group 1: Shelly-Amfrezier-Price, Chen Juan.

The second pair consists of Tory Bowie and Kelly Ambaptiste.

Group 3: Dafner Spipers and Veronica Campbell Brown.

Xiao Q: Okabarei, Wei Yongli.

The lights made the red track shine.

A familiar bass voice came from the loudspeaker.

Yang Jian's voice was like a steady and accurate ruler.

Measuring each step taken as they entered.

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Price emerged from the passageway, his back straight, as if stepping directly from the Jamaican morning light into the night.

She didn't make any exaggerated movements; she simply stopped at the starting line with her feet shoulder-width apart and her fingertips lightly touching the ground, as if shaking hands with the track.

Warm up from ankle to hip, waking up inch by inch:
The ankle is circled twice, the knee is slightly bent and bounced three times, the hip is circled once, and then a short and fast A-Skip is used to "point" out the rhythm.

Her gaze was calm, as if she had shut out all the noise.

Yang Jian said with a smile, "This is the ticket to the championship - no fuss, just wake up your body first."

Under the spotlight, Chen Juan exuded confidence the moment she stepped onto the scene.

A tall figure of over 1.75 meters, like a clean line, cuts straight into the track from the entrance.

She tossed her coat aside, revealing a red sports vest draped over her shoulders and back, highlighting her sharp waistline and the precise proportions of her limbs.

The camera panned to her profile, and Yang Jian couldn't help but laugh, "With that height, she has a natural 'starting line advantage' just by standing on the starting line. Her long legs make one step equivalent to two steps for others. When she takes off, she'll probably leave the wind behind her."

“The proportions of these legs are indeed very good.” Liu Xiang also said: “In sprinting, height and leg length are very important, especially the leg length ratio, which is a standard for track and field selection in many countries.”

"His leg length and proportions are clearly superior even among Black people."

"This is a gift from God."

When Chen Juan came out, she didn't rush to step onto the line. She first jogged a couple of steps, her stride naturally extended, each step showing the graceful stretch of her long legs. Then, she suddenly did a large back kick—her heel almost touched her buttocks, her hamstrings stretched to the limit, her body like a drawn bow, long and taut.

Yang Jian joked, "Look at the range of that back kick! Only someone 1.75 meters tall can do something so graceful. Anyone else would probably twist their back. This isn't a warm-up; it's a 'leg length show' for the track!"

"This is what they mean by legs longer than life."

Next, she stood by the starting line, her arms hanging naturally at her sides, and then swung her arms three times with acceleration—her arms were pushed forward from the sides of her body with large and fast movements, like two oars paddling forward, gradually setting the rhythm of her body.

Her arm swings, aided by her height, propelled her body further forward with each swing, as if she were "building up power" for the subsequent start.

Liu Xiang commented: "The range and speed of her arm swing are both excellent. Her height of 1.75 meters allows her to swing her arm more radii, and each swing accumulates kinetic energy. This is the 'height advantage'!"

Finally, she did two light jumps before the starting line—her feet gently lifted off the ground and then landed steadily, the contact between her feet and the ground crisp and clean, like nails hitting plastic.

When she jumped, her body was very straight, her long legs were slightly bent, and her hips moved forward as she landed, as if simulating the push-off motion of a runner.

Yang Jian laughed and said, "This light jump is to find her footing and also to put pressure on her opponent—look how steadily and smoothly she jumps. At 1.75 meters tall, she's like a 'high wall' standing here. When we start running, she only needs to take a long stride to widen the gap. Don't worry, the best is yet to come. Let's see if this 'long-legged queen' can maximize her height advantage!"

Viewers online laughed along with the audience.

Commentators in this era definitely need to keep up with the internet.

The term "long-legged queen" is a nickname given to Chen Juan online.

Someone is right, your name may not be chosen correctly.

Of course it's your nickname; it's definitely a characteristic reaction of yours.

Chen Juan's long legs, sculpted through countless training sessions, are even more striking than some models of similar proportions.

It is the superposition of health, youth, and vitality.

Watching her every activity gives me a sense of vitality and vigor.

Her warm-up consisted of no unnecessary movements; each exercise revolved around "activating the body and leveraging her height advantage."

jog with extended strides, kick back to open the posterior chain, accelerate arm swing to accumulate kinetic energy, and lightly jump to find the rhythm of push-off and extension.

Her 1.75-meter height makes every movement of hers appear exceptionally graceful, like dancing an elegant dance on a track, yet concealing a force that should not be underestimated.

The light cast a long shadow over her, creating a striking contrast with the red plastic, making her "tall and slender" figure instantly memorable.

"Chen Juan won the silver medal in Moscow. The one who defeated her was the petite queen Fraser, who played before her. I wonder if she can perform even better this year and continue her legendary performance in Moscow. That's something we're looking forward to."

"Although we should not put pressure on athletes, she has always been a very strong athlete. The saying 'with great power comes great responsibility' describes this type of athlete."

"After all, she is now the top female port in the entire Asia region."

“She should naturally have the ability and strength to do these things, and she also has a responsibility to do so.”

"She is one of the few who have had the opportunity to win a medal in the entire history of Asian sprinting."

Tori Bowie strode in, her long legs making her look like a streamlined figure from the American South. She started with a slow dynamic hip stretch, then stabilized her stride with two medium-speed B-Skips, before standing in front of the line and performing a clean, crisp arm swing.

There was a calm ruthlessness in her eyes.

Yang Jian commented: "Boy's warm-up is like a knife; first sharpen the edge, then unsheathe it."

Kelly-Ann Baptiste emerged from the crowd, her smile as radiant as the Caribbean sun. She circled the starting line, as if greeting everyone, then performed three rapid ankle bounces, followed by a large side lunge to activate her gluteus medius. She liked to incorporate a small "rhythmic clapping" into her warm-up, clapping out her own rhythm.

Yang Jian joked, "This girl even brings a metronome to warm up. If she starts running, she'll probably carry the timer away with her."

Dafner Spipers's entry into the game was very restrained.

She first took two deep breaths, then started moving her body from her ankles, knees, and hips, working out every joint, and then used two short, quick steps to wake up her nerves.

The arms swing like two steady oars, neither too fast nor too slow.

Yang Jian said softly, "Spippers' warm-up is like writing a thesis; every step is based on evidence."

Veronica Campbell-Brown displayed the composure of a veteran. She first tapped her spikes on the ground, as if checking her "weapon," then did a full-body roll to relax, followed by a long back kick to loosen her rear chain, and finally stood at the finish line, her gaze sweeping over the crowd as if she were looking at all the tracks she had run.

Liu Xiang said, "Look at those eyes, they're a living testament to sprinting. The warm-up was just right, not too much, not too little."

The next person to enter was named Okabaré.

Okabaré's entrance was like a light breeze.

She jogged out of the tunnel, first bouncing her forefoot twice, then opening her chest with a large arm swing, and then simulating the "starting posture" three times in front of the starting line, lightly tapping the starting blocks with her fingers, as if ready to press "launch" at any moment.

Yang Jian laughed and said, "This warm-up is like using the starting blocks as a piano, playing a few notes to get a feel for it."

"But the tallest player on the field is over 1.8 meters tall, and it would be unwise to go head-to-head with her in the later stages."

"Fortunately, she's not going that fast ahead, which is where she can accumulate an advantage."

"Although her personal best is also over 10.70 seconds, breaking the 10.80-second barrier and matching Chen Juan's, she is always slightly weaker than Chen Juan in major competitions."

"Yes, many athletes are like this. Judging by their results alone, they may be similar to some famous athletes, but when it comes to their performance in major competitions, they always fall short by a hair's breadth." Liu Xiang agreed with this point, as he himself is a typical example of this.

Even if you are stronger than me, you still have to compete against me.

There's a high chance you won't be the winner.

The competition between top projects is often decided by the smallest margins.

My tiny fraction is greater than your tiny fraction.

Naturally, I win.

Wei Yongli's entry into the game was very solid.

She walked around the track, taking each step steadily, then did three hip flexion and extension and lateral flexion exercises, followed by two accelerated arm swings to stabilize her rhythm. Finally, she stood in front of the line, took a deep breath, and focused her gaze.

Her movements were not flashy, but every move was precise and accurate.

Yang Jian commented, "Steadyness is her fundamental characteristic. The same goes for warming up; she's steady and methodical. When the race starts, we'll see who can turn steadiness into speed."

"However, she has already completed her competition mission and achieved her personal best in the semi-finals. So, if that's the case, then just enjoy the finals."

"Immerse yourself in the atmosphere where strong individuals abound."

"Let's see if we can improve ourselves further."

Wei Yongli has done what she was supposed to do. Indeed, no one has any further expectations of her. Under such circumstances, she can do whatever she wants.

That's why you can see that the smile on her face is still quite bright.

Because she knew she couldn't win the card.

So just give it your all and enjoy your final match.

The athletes finished their warm-up shortly afterward.

The referee signaled for them to return to their positions.

After the eight contestants found their respective positions...

The lights cast long shadows on them.

It became more atmospheric.

Yang Jian lowered his voice, as if gently calming the emotions in the room: "Tonight is a date of speed, and also a competition of patience."

"So now... warm-up over, the show begins."
