Sprint: This champion is a bit weird

Chapter 183 Wenhao, I’m waiting for you in New York!

On the big screen at the scene, highlights of the game from multiple angles flashed in sequence.

Not long after, after calibration by the referee at the finish line and IAAF staff, the revised final score was released:

Wind speed: +0.4m/s

1——China——Wen Hao——9.88 AR丨MR

2 – USA – Sean Crawford – 10.08 SB

3——Neon——Susu Shenwu——10.12 SB

4 – Australia – Joshua Ross – 10.17

5——Neon——Nobuharu Asahara——10.24 SB

6——Neon——Naoki Tsukahara——10.29 SB

7 – Australia – Aaron Rogge – 10.36

8 – USA – Michael Mitchell – 10.41

9 seconds, a new Asian record!

To be honest, although they have always had expectations before the game, most viewers are actually mentally prepared.

Perhaps nearly half a year has passed, and Wen Hao's strength may not have grown much.

Perhaps the reason why he did not appear in indoor games was because he was injured during winter training. In the interview, "continue to improve his skills and wait for the outdoor season" was just a rhetoric.

Stories of talented people encountering setbacks and stalling, or even falling sadly, have happened throughout the ages. Who knows if Wen Hao will be next?

But right now, in the first game of the 2007 season, Wen Hao gave the answer with facts.

He did not stand still, nor did he fall sadly. Instead, he continued to fulfill his extraordinary talent that was evaluated by the chairman of the IAAF as "unprecedented" and created new Asian history!

As soon as the camera turned, Wen Hao's figure appeared in the live broadcast screen again.

Aside from his wonderful performance on the field, his toned and powerful figure and his handsome face like a handed down sculpture also make people admire him endlessly.

That's the look on his face. There seems to be something wrong.

There was indeed a smile on Wen Hao's face, but the smile was a bit dull no matter how you looked at it. Judging from his demeanor, he couldn't feel the excitement that should be felt after setting a new record.

"Hey hey hey, what did I say?"

On the runway, Sean Crawford suddenly burst into the picture, laughing and giving Wen Hao a hug.

He originally wanted to send congratulations, but seeing the expression on Wen Hao's face, Crawford also wondered on the spot: "Come on, you have set a new continental record. Isn't that enough to make you excited?"

"How should I put it?" Wen Hao smiled faintly and shrugged, "I feel that the performance of this shot is a bit unsatisfactory. If the technical details can be improved, the results may be more convincing."

Hearing the word [persuasive], Crawford understood Wenhao's mood at this time.

Wen Hao's single "We Are Young" is now very popular in the United States, so he has gained a lot of fans. Under the operation of EMI Records, most mainstream entertainment media have praised him.

But on the contrary, the mainstream American sports media has a rather unfriendly attitude towards him.

In particular, some racist scholars under the guise of "multiculturalism" either hinted between the lines that Wen Hao took drugs and ran away for 10 seconds, or they completely abandoned scientific theory and crudely "delineated" a limit for him.

[Whether it is him or any yellow athlete in the future, their 9-meter limit will not exceed 85 seconds at most! 】

[Hurdle is a highly technical track and field sport, so yellow people have a chance to become an Olympic champion. However, the 100 meters is a sport that requires extremely pure physical fitness. Yellow people will never be able to compare with black people in this aspect! 】

These similar racist remarks are either completely crude and directly characterize them without reasoning with you, or they are half-baked and rely on stereotypes to fool you.

Anyway, in Sean Crawford's view, regardless of whether Wen Hao can become an Olympic champion like Liu Xiang in the future, at least he will definitely have a place on the podium of the future World Series.

Just kidding, an 18-year-old can stably run under 10 seconds, and when he is about to turn 19, he can run under 9 seconds. This kind of performance is completely unprecedented, right?

9 seconds 85?

Give him another year or two, I'm afraid even 9 seconds 75 won't be able to stop him!

Which of those so-called experts and scholars really understands track and field and sprinting?

Just last week, Sports Weekly published a report on Tyson Gay.

During the interview, the reporter from "Sports Weekly" kept digging holes for him, but Tyson Gay didn't criticize him at all. The only harsh words he said were: "No matter how talented he is, I will always win at the Osaka World Championships." Defeat him, and glory belongs to America."

Sean Crawford feels funny when he thinks about this.

For a competitive sports athlete, especially a professional athlete, if he touches such a topic involving racism, he is absolutely a brainless idiot.

Who cares what race you are in a sports arena? Results are the best persuasion. Losing is losing, winning is winning!

"Don't worry, buddy, this is the first shot of the season. Adjust your condition slowly." Crawford patted Wen Hao on the shoulder and encouraged:

“想想去年的盖伊，他可是直接从10秒0几的PB一路干到了9秒84！之前你的PB可是有9秒91呢，今年干到9秒85以内绝对不是问题，我相信你！”

"It's easy to talk to people like you." Wen Hao replied with a smile, "If you come to Shanghai after the Osaka World Championships, I will definitely put on a banquet to welcome you."

"Oh~ this is what you said! If the organizer of the Magic City doesn't send me an invitation by then, I will settle the score with you!"

"Watt? I just said that if you come to Shanghai, I will treat you to dinner. When..." "You don't need to say it. I understand that you Chinese people are used to expressing gratitude in implicit ways. I understand!"

"."

"Well done man, the new season starts with a championship, I believe you will have good luck this year!"

"My new season is not starting with a championship, Wallace. Did you forget that I lost a 3-meter race at the University of Arkansas in March?"

"Hey, it was just an exhibition match you were invited to your alma mater. What's more, you don't practice 400 meters anymore. I don't think that counts."

"No, Wallace, if you lose, you lose. There are no excuses."

Jamaica, Kingston National Stadium, Tyson Gay just completed his first 2007-meter race of the 200 season, easily winning the championship in 19 seconds 97 (-0.5).

Usain Bolt did not sign up for this game, so for him, there is no challenge at all.

After the game, Wallace Spearmon, who accompanied him to Jamaica, came to find him. The two of them are the closest training partners, and they are not afraid to say anything on weekdays.

The two packed up their things and walked out of the court. Seeing that there was no one around, Spearmon whispered: "Tyson, let me tell you the latest news. Wenhao ran 9 seconds in his debut in Osaka, breaking the Asian record again." ”

"9 seconds 88?" Upon hearing this result, Tyson Gay's expression suddenly became serious, but his tone remained calm: "What's the wind speed?"

"The wind speed is very small, only +0.4 meters per second."

"0.4 This Chinese boy is really amazing. He can run into 9 seconds so quickly."

"How's it going? Do you feel any pressure?" Spielmont, who was just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously, hugged Tyson Gay and said with a smile: "I remember when someone was being interviewed, he seemed to say something [Glory Belongs to América]? Don’t lose then.”

"Wallace, it's about national honor. I don't think this is a funny topic."

"Uh okay, mine."

"9 seconds is indeed a very good result, but if he wants to beat me, he is still a little behind." Tyson Gay returned the topic to Wenhao.

After these few months of training, Tyson Gay clearly knows that his ability to start and accelerate has become stronger than last year.

As long as the current state is maintained, refreshing the PB is not a problem at all. If you can encounter a legal wind speed of more than +1.5m/s, it is not impossible to break the 9 mark in 80 seconds or even hit Asafa Powell's world record. .

"That's true, and your biggest opponent is not him, it should be Asafa Powell." Spearmon agreed with a smile.

"Asafa"

The strong figure of Asafa Powell came to mind. For some reason, Tyson Gay subconsciously smiled and shook his head.

"Oh~ Tyson, what's your reaction?"

"I don't know myself, maybe I don't know why. Although I didn't beat Asafa Powell once last year, I always feel that he will not be my biggest opponent in the future."

"Huh? Are you mistaken? He is the world record holder!"

Tyson Gay stopped talking. He knew that what he had just said was a bit arrogant, but thinking back on it carefully, he did not feel that his judgment was unreasonable.

Although Asafa Powell maintained an unbeaten record throughout the 2006 season, Tyson Gay did not feel the so-called "strong breath" in him.

Or maybe it's an illusion?

"Let's not talk about it. I read a report from NBC Sports that Wenhao is going to New York to participate in the Reebok Grand Prix next month. If there is a chance, he may also hold a fan meeting."

"Oh, is he here to compete or travel?" Tyson Gay curled his lips, "He can come if he wants. I am really looking forward to how he will challenge me."

Wen Hao, I'm waiting for you in New York!
