In the just-concluded men’s 100m final, American Tyson Gay, who ranks second in the world this season, won the championship in 9 seconds. Chinese 88-meter flying man Wen Hao won the runner-up in 9 seconds, once again breaking his own Asian record by 91 seconds! 】

When the news that Wen Hao broke another Asian record at the Athens Athletics World Cup spread widely, it was already late at night after 1: in the morning in China.

But the dark night seemed unable to stop the enthusiasm of netizens at all.

In the comment section of relevant reports on major portal websites, track and field enthusiasts sent congratulations one after another, and many passers-by who did not pay much attention to track and field events were also attracted.

On the Tianya Forum, a post titled "For those who don't understand track and field, let me briefly introduce how awesome the score of 9 seconds is!" "The post attracted tens of thousands of reposts and comments from netizens.

[Let me explain in advance that I cannot sort out the historical rankings for the time being. It takes a lot of effort to look up the information, so we directly compare the world rankings of the 2006 season with the final results of the Olympic Games and World Championships in previous years. 】

[2006 season ranking: tied for third in the world! 】

[The world’s number one is Asafa Powell of Jamaica. He ran 2 twice this year, tying the world record (his own). In addition to Powell, Justin Gatlin of the United States also ran 9 seconds, but he was suspended for taking drugs and his 77 results were cancelled, so he did not count. 】

[Second in the world is Tyson Gay of the United States. Yes, he is the man who overtook Wen Hao in the middle and won the championship. His best time this season is 9 seconds. 】

[Talked with Wen Hao for third place in the world this season is Leonard Scott of the United States. Both of their season best times are 9 seconds. Wen Hao's wind speed is +91m/s, and Scott's wind speed is +1.1m/s. In terms of this gun alone, Scott is slightly stronger. 】

【but! Judging from the overall performance of the season, Wen Hao is even better! 】

【斯科特的赛季TOP5：9秒91、9秒97、10秒01、10秒07、10秒07。】

【文浩的赛季TOP5：9秒91、9秒98、9秒98、9秒99、10秒00。】

【文浩本赛季总共4次跑到10秒以内，并且世青赛9秒98那枪放水了，否则第二好成绩他肯定能胜过斯科特的那枪9秒97。】

[Let’s take a look at the comparison of the final results of the Olympic Games and World Championships! 】

[2005 World Championships in Helsinki, champion - Justin Gatlin 9 seconds, runner-up - Michael Flatt 88 seconds, third runner-up - Kim Collins 10 seconds. With such a big gap in performance, even taking into account the influence of wind speed, Wen Hao can still win a silver medal in this World Championships! 】

[2004 Athens Olympics, champion-Justin Gatlin 9 seconds, runner-up Obikewelu 85 seconds, third runner-up-Maurice Green 9 seconds. This Olympic Games is too fierce, and the top five results are all 86 seconds 9. Wen Hao's current strength is indeed a bit insufficient. 】

[2003 World Championships in Paris, champion - Kim Collins 10 seconds, runner-up - Darrell Brown 07 seconds, third runner-up - Darren Campbell 10 seconds. Several famous players were injured and absent from this World Championship, and their level was the lowest ever. With Wenhao's current level, it is not difficult to win this year's championship! 】

[I have said all this just to educate netizens who don’t know much about track and field. Wen Hao’s 9 seconds in Athens tonight is very impressive! 】

[Don’t think there is any chance of winning the Olympics. There is still a big gap between him and the world record, but don’t forget that he is an Asian and a yellow race! Don't forget - he is only 18 years old now! 】

[Finally, I will end with a Tencent Sports report - the president of the IAAF made this evaluation of Wen Hao after the game: an unprecedented sprint genius! 】

This post, which was first published on the Tianya Forum, was reposted several times and entered the Baidu [Wen Hao Bar], immediately arousing enthusiastic comments from Wen Hao's fans.

[Xiao Walter]: But I am uneducated, so I can go all over the world with just one word!

[Longmei Bao]: Okay, okay, I just like to see this kind of posts praising Xiao Haohao. Please post more!

[Reborn Yaoyue]: Damn it, brothers, I have already begun to imagine that Wenhao will win the championship in Osaka next year. Is this normal?

[Some kawaii girl]: You think it’s abnormal to win the World Championships, but I even imagine that Wen Hao has broken the world record. Should I go into mental illness?

[Kamen Rider Ultimate Kuuga]: Family members, I would like to remind you that Wen Hao’s first English single is about to be released, so don’t forget to support it.

[The Prodigal Son Never Turns Back]: I saw the promotion and it said that he sang with the girl who played Hermione. Could this guy really have a crush on me?

[Zerg Swallow Soldier]: This girl is really cool, but in my personal opinion, it is most likely just hype, but it would be better if she were real.

[HanSoHee]: It doesn’t matter if the song is good or not, the main thing is to see Wen Hao pick up more beautiful girls. Don’t just focus on Europe and the United States. There are also many pretty girls in South Korea next door waiting to be picked.

[Huangming Xuanfu Town Majun Xiaoqi]: No one nominated us, right? Do you advocate great beauties? @guard the best YOYO in the world

Station news: "Huangming Xuanfu Town Majun Xiaoqi" was banned for 365 days by the bar owner "Guarding the Best YOYO in the World"

The next morning, Wen Hao trained as usual and did not continue to increase the intensity. The purpose was to maintain the current competitive state.

After watching Liu Xiang's men's 110-meter hurdles competition today, I will have another night's rest in Athens. I will board a flight back to China tomorrow morning and prepare for the Magic City Golden Grand Prix. The competition time of the Magic City Golden Grand Prix is ​​September 9. Before that, there are several days of maintenance training and pre-game publicity.

For example, on the evening of the 20th, the organizers of the Magic City Golden Grand Prix will arrange a banquet in Liu Xiang's name on a cruise ship on the Huangpu River, inviting Chinese and foreign track and field athletes and Chinese and foreign singers who will perform in the post-game concert. Attend a banquet.

In this concert, in addition to Hu Yanbing, who has a good relationship with Wen Hao, there will also be Wang Lihong, Mo Wenwei, and Macy Gray, who has won the Grammy Award for Best Female Singer.

And Wen Hao will naturally also sing on stage.

He had high expectations for the dinner and concert, and thought it would be fun.

But for now, he still has to focus on the release of his first English single today.

Regarding the song "We Are Young", both Wenhao himself and EMI Records have great confidence.

Therefore, the place of release was directly chosen in the United States, with the goal of being in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot within a month and winning at least one daily chart title.

The release time is 12 noon New York time, so after Wenhao finishes his morning training and eats lunch, there are only 7 hours left before the release of "We Are Young".

After a nap, Wen Hao wanted to prepare for the afternoon training as planned, but his plan was suddenly interrupted by the "guest" brought by Annie.

"Oh~ Wen! I finally see you, the amazing Chinese boy!"

In the hotel, Wen Hao's room, Annie, who was dressed smartly and handsomely, said hello and then pushed the door open, followed by a tall, thin, middle-aged white man.

"Sorry, who are you?" As soon as Wen Hao asked, his eyes seemed to find the answer.

The tall and thin white uncle in front of him was wearing an exquisite watch and carrying an exquisite gift bag.

The watch and gift bag are both printed with the same English logo - OMEGA.

For track and field fans, the word OMEGA will not be unfamiliar, because the IAAF has two major timer suppliers: OMEGA and SEIKO.

OMEGA is a Swiss company and SEIKO is a neon company. However, in addition to being timepiece suppliers to the IAAF, they also own the world-renowned Seiko watch brand.

The tall and lanky white uncle smiled and shook Wen Hao's hand, and took the initiative to say his name: "Andre Brandt."

Yes, if your surname is Brandt, then you won’t run away even more.

"I'm very happy to meet Mr. Brandt. I asked him why a dove flew to my window sill this morning with an olive branch in his mouth. It turns out that" Wen Hao paused and smiled at Brandt: "Someone gave it to me." Here comes the money!”

"Hahaha, Wen Hao, you are smart and humorous. I just like to deal with young people like you!" Brandt laughed. Seeing that Wen Hao was so easy to get along with, he simply got to the point and opened the gift bag.

"Omiru has been looking for the most suitable brand spokesperson in Greater China. Our initial choice was Yao, but he was rejected by TAG Heuer. Later we considered Liu Xiang, but to be honest, although he is well-known, his appearance and image are far from each other. Omiru’s requirements are still a little short of the mark.”

"Anyway, I think he's quite handsome." Wen Hao responded with a smile, "Emmm, if his face wasn't full of pimples."

Brandt did not continue to talk about Liu Xiang, but took out the watch placed in the gift box and introduced to him:

"This is Omiru's Speedmaster X-33 watch. The design concept and technology are directly derived from the "Alaska 1-4 Project" and it is still a frequent visitor to the International Space Station today. It adopts..."

Brandt confidently introduced the watch in his hand, only to find that Wen Hao was frowning and looking a little uninterested.

"Emmm" Brandt turned to look at Anne.

Anne got the signal and was ready to ask Wen Hao for his opinion. After all, she was in a hurry today and didn't say hello to him in advance, which might have made him unhappy.

Just as he was about to speak, Wen Hao shook his head: "Mr. Brandt, you'd better take back this gift."

Annie was really anxious now, and quickly switched to Chinese and said: "Sorry, Wen Hao, I was too anxious and didn't make arrangements. Don't be angry first. After all, when we discussed it before, you also said that you hope to receive a world-famous watch. It's my endorsement, so I..."

"That's not what I meant." After Anne had finished speaking more than half of her words, Wen Hao interrupted her with a wave of his hand, and then smiled at Brandt:

"Mr. Brandt, as a sprinter, I still like Omiru very much, but" Wen Hao pointed to the watch on Brandt's hand, "if you want to give me a Speedmaster watch, As a gift, I suggest you give Dark Side of the Moon instead of X-33."

"Oh wait, so what do you mean?" Brandt suddenly turned from sadness to happiness. He thought that this endorsement intention was going to be ruined, but who knew that there would be another twist later.

Wen Hao smiled at him, and then asked Xiang Annie: "About the watch endorsement, don't forget to say hello to the competition management center."

Anne was also smiling and gave Brandt an OK sign.
