king of sprint

Chapter 291 A World-Class Rival
The 2007 Osaka World Championships will be officially held on August 8.

According to the track and field center's usual habit of preparing for international competitions, the training camp should start in mid-July, so Juno left Pengcheng for training in Qiong Province in mid-July, while Pan Kai and Zhang Zhen arrived in Pengcheng and started the training camp.

At present, the domestic track and field athletes who have been invited by the World Championships include hammer throw, pole vault, high jump, race walking, 5000 meters and other events, among which the sprint event is undoubtedly the top priority.

After all, there is now a world record holder sitting in Pengcheng, and the crown event at the World Championships seems to be a sure thing.

But is reality really that optimistic?

After Pan Kai and Zhang Zhen arrived in Pengcheng on July 7, Dong Zijian began to conduct special training for them before the competition. According to the training plan submitted to the General Administration, Rousseau's 12 meters and the four-person 100×4 meters are both important. gold points.

In addition to technical exercises, the 4×100-meter training is also an important part of knowing the opponent.

In the lecture hall of Pengcheng Sports Institute, the competition of several relay teams was played on the projection screen.

"This is the live event of the American 4×100 relay race led by Guy at the South American Championships. Their score was 37 seconds..."

Then another game scene was changed.

"This is the Jamaica team at the Ibero-American Championship. Their time is 37 seconds. This team is very strong, because Ball and Usain are in this team. Everyone should pay attention to this 60-year-old Some people think that he will be Usain's successor..."

In the introduction of the Jamaica relay team, Dong Zijian spent a lot of space. Jamaica is indeed unique in the field of sprinting.

Jamaica’s first-generation world record holder, Bauer, is still active in world track and field. The second-generation Usain has already reached the pinnacle of the world. Now the third-generation Blake has already emerged. The thickness and speed of talent accumulation Absolutely.

"Currently the strongest countries in the world in the 4×100 relay event are the United States and Jamaica, and our opponents in the World Championships must be them. It is not easy to win, but we definitely have hope!" Dong Zijian told everyone Encouragement.

Whether it was the cautious Rousseau, the optimistic Tian Shiwei, the mature Pan Kai, or the energetic Zhang Zhen, they all nodded their heads in agreement. If they didn’t want to win, they would go to any competition. No matter who they were, even gods, they had to win!
……

Next, Dong Zijian played some competition materials of the 100-meter event and 200-meter event players in the World Championships to the four people.

It mainly refers to Usain and Gay, and also released some video materials of Bauer by the way, and finally even Gatlin, who has been suspended, reviewed it by the way.

"You are all world-strength sprinters, you will meet them in various competitions in the future, and I think these people will dominate the world track and field 100m, 200m and 4×100m events in the next five to eight years, so understand They are very important..."

Speaking of this, Dong Zijian paused, "Of course, there is also Rousseau here, our world record holder."

Rousseau nodded with a smile.

"Coach, what about me?" Tian Shiwei reminded Dong Zijian and him.

"You're still far behind." Lu Jinrong, who was listening on the sidelines, said bluntly, "These players have broken 10 in the 17 meters. Even the 10-year-old Blake has the potential to break [-]. How about you?"

"I also have the potential to break 10!" Tian Shiwei said confidently.

"Wait until you break 10, shut up now." Lu Jinrong said ruthlessly.

Tian Shiwei closed his mouth a little bit aggrieved, probably muttering something like 'double standards'.

Next, Dong Zijian focused on the research on Usain. He respectively played the video of Usain running 11 in the 9.72-meter run in the IAAF Finals last November, which won the world record.

Afterwards, Dong Zijian played the video of Usain who won first place in the 6 meters at the Eugene Grand Prix in June this year, but the result was only 9 seconds.

"Rousseau, you are very familiar with Usain, tell me, what is the difference between Usain in these two games?"

Faced with Dong Zijian's question, Rousseau pointed out the key point of the difference in Usain's state in the two games.

Rousseau said: "In November last year, Usain had Guy chasing him behind him. In June this year, there is no opponent worthy of a fight behind him."

Dong Zijian nodded: "That's right, in the Eugene Grand Prix that just passed, Usain ran very sluggishly. This is a player who gets stronger when he meets the strong. On the [-]-meter track, only Ball and Rousseau have beaten him so far." , and this year's Usain has entered the stage of technical maturity, and it is very difficult to win against him."

Hearing what Dong Zijian said, everyone couldn't help looking at Rousseau.

Rousseau said: "Will there be another possibility, that is, as long as Guy is there, we will all run better results..."

"This possibility is relatively small." Dong Zijian discussed in a serious manner, "Gay probably doesn't want to be such a professional background board."

Everyone laughed.

This is really interesting. Usain set the world record on Gay last year, and this year Rousseau also set the world record on Gay. Of course, this shows that Gay is very strong, but I always feel that there is a sense of humor in it.

Jokes are jokes.

Next, Dong Zijian carefully analyzed Usain's strengths and weaknesses.

There are a lot of shortcomings. For example, Usain's starting is recognized as not standard, and his running posture such as swinging his arms and stepping on the ground is also very problematic. It can almost be said to be synonymous with unscientific running.

There is only one advantage, that is, Usain is very fast, so far, he still cannot see his limit. In the 2006 IAAF Finals last year, Usain ran with ease.

In this World Championships, can Rousseau's world record of 9.70 seconds still be kept?
Everyone is very worried.

After this meeting, Dong Zijian continued to study this issue with Rousseau.

Rousseau said very happily: "It will definitely not be able to defend, Usain will be faster."

"How do you know?" Dong Zijian felt strange.

"Just yesterday, the Jamaican national team held the 9-meter world championship trials. Both Usain and Ball participated. Usain ran a 69 seconds." Rousseau said.

"How do you know?" Dong Zijian asked a second time.

"He sent me a text message, but it's embarrassing." Rousseau said rather disgusted.

"What he said may not be true, it may be a trick." Dong Zijian expressed doubts.

"He doesn't have such a brain." Rousseau said, he still believed in Usain's IQ, and he said to Dong Zijian: "If I want to win the World Championships, I have to be faster."

"How fast?" Dong Zijian frowned. Rousseau has already run to 9 seconds. If this is not enough to win the championship, how fast is it?
"I don't know, only on the day of the game," Rousseau said.
