Sprint champion: start standing on the Olympic field

Chapter 183 Liu Yuxiang successfully passed the preliminaries
On August 2008, 8, the focus of much-anticipated battle, the preliminaries of the 18-meter hurdles competition will begin soon.

“这次奥运会，全世界达到110米栏奥运会A标、即13秒55水平的运动员超过50人。其中美国占了近一半，为21人，显示出其110米栏项目强大的整体实力。

What is exciting is that the Chinese 110-meter hurdles led by the world record holder and world championship champion Liu Xiang has four people who have reached the BJ Olympic A standard, second only to the United States, and the number of people ranks second in the world.This is also a good situation that China has never had before the previous World Series.

Liu Yuxiang, Shi Dongpeng, Xing Yanan and Ji Gang all reached the Olympic A standard.

In this cycle, Liu Xiang ran ten times with excellent results exceeding the A mark, and his best level reached 12 seconds.

Shi Dongpeng came next. He ran a personal best of 13 seconds, surpassing the Olympic A standard by as much as 24 seconds.

After that, he also ran as many as seven times exceeding the A mark.

Xing Yanan and Ji Gang also ran good results of 13 seconds and 54 seconds.

In the end, Liu Yuxiang, Shi Dongpeng, and Ji Gang qualified for the Olympic Games through the selection of the best and the competition.

Among them, Liu Xiang currently ranks first in the world in the 12 89-meter hurdles with 2007 seconds.

Shi Dongpeng's best time this year is 13 seconds, ranking tenth in the world in terms of headcount this year.In addition to Liu Xiang and Roberts from Cuba, there are seven American players in front of him.Because at that time, the United States can only have at most three people participating in the 19-meter hurdles competition in the BJ Olympics. Therefore, if the ranking of athletes participating in the Olympic Games is scheduled, Shi Dongpeng can already rank among the top six in the world.

At the Athens Olympics, only Liu Xiang and Shi Dongpeng participated in China.As a result, Liu Xiang won the championship with a world record time of 12 seconds; Shi Dongpeng failed to make it out of the preliminaries because of his limited strength at the time.

In the BJ Olympics, Liu Xiang will try his best to defend his title in the 110m hurdles.Shi Dongpeng is no longer comparable to what he used to be.At the Athens Olympics, his personal best time was only 13 seconds, but now it reaches 40 seconds. Therefore, in the BJ Olympics, the Hebei player will attack for medals on the basis of ensuring the top six. "

In the dormitory of the Olympic Village, Su Feng leaned on the head of the bed in his clothes, watching the sports channel.

After all, it was the preliminaries, so there was no need for him to go to the scene to cheer for Liu Yuxiang, and with his current situation, once he left the Olympic Village, he might not be at peace for a while.

Not only him, even his parents are about to hide.According to Su's mother, the house was overcrowded by relatives, friends, and leaders from all walks of life. Sometimes they could only stand without seats.

There are even unrelated people who buy things directly and put them in front of his house. Sometimes they go there overnight and open the door in the morning, and the things are piled up into a hill.

At this time, watching the host’s analysis on TV, Su Feng recalled it for a while. Because of his attention to Liu Yuxiang at the beginning, Su Feng in his previous life also knew a little about Shi Dongpeng, the player in the Chinese team second only to Liu Yuxiang. His performance in the BJ Olympics The performance is naturally also concerned.

Shi Dongpeng's results, at least from his previous life, were not optimistic.

Objectively speaking, compared with 2004, through these years of hard training, Shi Dongpeng's skills have been greatly improved, but these improvements did not help him complete the Olympic breakthrough.

In the semi-finals of the 110m hurdles, there were two groups, and the top four in each group advanced.Shi Dongpeng was placed in the second group, and American star David Oliver was also in the same group.

In the second group, there was no early start, and a shot started smoothly. However, Shi Dongpeng still suffered from the old problem of fast reaction speed and slow start speed at that time. His reaction speed of 0.141 was able to rank third in the group, but judging from the field performance , Shi Dongpeng is still behind in the first few columns.When he ran to the third hurdle, he was already one position behind the leading David Oliver, and he could only rely on his running skills on the way to chase hard.

In the end, he crossed the finish line almost simultaneously with Jamaican player Will Noel and Spanish player Quinones, but according to the slow motion, Shi Dongpeng regrettably missed the final with a difference of 0.02 seconds.

Because Liu Yuxiang had retired at that time, Su Feng watched a lot about Shi Dongpeng's situation, including the video of him leaving the Bird's Nest later.

Shi Dongpeng slightly arched his back, walked to the corner of the stairs and looked back, then quickened his pace of leaving.

During an interview with the reporter, he said: "Although there will be World Championships next year, the meaning is completely different from the BJ Olympics." When he said this, Shi Dongpeng obviously raised his head, probably trying not to let His own tears flowed down.

"Forget it, it should be different this time, right?" Su Feng shook his head, erasing the bad memories from the beginning.

At the beginning, Shi Dongpeng fell down after the last sprint. He was desperate for the sprint, but he was still out.

但是最终13秒42的成绩距离他13秒19的今年最好成绩也差远了，甚至和雅典奥运会的13秒40相差无几。

According to the post-match analysis, Liu Yuxiang's injury should have "injured" him. His third shot ran very heavily. From the start to the fifth hurdle, he seemed to be unable to take a step. Although he struggled to catch up in the last five hurdles , but ended up fifth in the group, only 0.02 seconds away from entering the final result.

At that time, a reporter also asked Shi Dongpeng a direct question: "Did Liu Yuxiang's retirement affect you to some extent?"

At that time, after Shi Dongpeng heard it, his eyes were red and he looked up, and then he said that Liu Yuxiang actually talked to him on the phone before the game: "He told me to relax, relax, and relax. I didn't relax myself. He also said to me before that as long as he runs in 13 seconds, he can enter the final, and today's facts also prove that he is right, and I did not do well."

"It should be different this time." Thinking of this, Su Feng said to himself with certainty.

Not only did Liu Yuxiang never retire this time, but he has also won the men's 100-meter gold medal. With Shi Dongpeng's competition experience not losing to Liu Yuxiang, the current pressure will definitely not be able to hold him down. It is impossible for him to take heavy steps to compete again. There is definitely no problem getting to the finals.

"Come on." Su Feng murmured while watching the TV. They were all part of the Chinese team. He naturally hoped that there would be two Chinese people in the 110-meter hurdles final.

If it is 100 meters, I am afraid I have to wait for Su Bingtian or Xie Zhenye to grow up.

Although Zhang Peimeng's talent is also good, but facing the golden generation of track and field, those terrifying famous players within 9 seconds and 90 seconds may not be enough.

At this time, the players of the first group of 110 meter hurdles began to enter.

In this Olympic Games, a total of 110 players participated in the 43-meter hurdles competition. The group stage was divided into six groups. The top four players in each group and the top eight players with the best remaining scores could advance to the second round, with a total of 32 players.

The second round of the rematch will be divided into four groups, and the top four in each group will enter the semi-finals.

The third round of semi-finals will be divided into two groups, and the top four in each group will enter the final.

The first group of preliminaries ended quickly, and the star player of this group, Jamaica's Will Noor, easily won the first place in the group with a time of 13 seconds and entered the semi-finals.

The second group has Shi Dongpeng, and he is also the only famous player in this group.Seeing Shi Dongpeng's face and demeanor before starting the race, and with Su Feng's intuition as an athlete, he felt that there was no problem, and the result was the same. Shi Dongpeng didn't feel the slightest pressure during the whole process, and he let go a lot in the end. Even so, He also entered the semi-finals with a time of 13 seconds.

"I'll go, kid." Su Feng couldn't help complaining, whether this guy should be so fierce, I was worried for a long time just now, and I was sad for a while about the result of his previous life, but as soon as he came up, he ran away in the first group With the result of running desperately in the semi-finals of the previous life, not to mention falling down to press the line, and finally letting go a lot, the feelings that I had been brewing for a long time just now were all in vain.

The 110-meter hurdles race was also very fast, and we soon reached the sixth group.

The sixth group in history in Su Feng's eyes.

Seeing Liu Yuxiang's smiling face when he walked out of the tunnel, Su Feng felt that he must stop brewing feelings, this guy is very good now.

Sure enough, in the end, Liu Yuxiang won No.1 in the sixth group with a more relaxed posture than Shi Dongpeng, with a time of 13 seconds, which is already a result for entering the final. It is not a problem for the Mustang with the rein to show its due results.
