The Osaka World Athletics Championships entered the penultimate day on September 9. The Chinese team won another gold medal in the men's 1×4m relay, setting a new Asian record and setting the best result in the world this year.

In the men's 50-kilometer walking competition in the morning.
In the men's 4X100m relay final, the Chinese team led by Wen Hao ran this year's world best time of 37 seconds, defeating the powerful American team and winning the championship. This is the first time in the history of the World Championships that the Chinese team has advanced to the 76×4m relay final, and won the title for the first time in this event.

Triple Crown! After eight years, a triple crown was born again at the World Athletics Championships!

Flying star Wen Hao led the Chinese team to win the championship in the men's 4x100m relay, beating the United States and Jamaica. Following the 100m and 200m, he won his third gold medal.

Wen Hao is still serving as the fourth baton of the Chinese team today. When the handover was completed, the Chinese team was already in a relatively lagging fifth place, more than four meters behind the US team, which was first at the time! But he still relied on his unparalleled speed to finally turn the tide and successfully beat the American team to win the championship. Another famous player, Powell, also tried his best to catch up from sixth place and win a bronze medal for Jamaica.

The unstoppable Wenhao became the third player in the history of the World Athletics Championships to win three gold medals in a single competition. The two previous superstars who accomplished this feat were both Americans, the legendary superstar Carl in 1983 and 1987 respectively. Lewis, and Maurice Green in 1999.

"Wen Hao writes Asian history with three crowns, and the United States' sprint supremacy is on the verge of collapse."

文浩的成长速度令人瞠目结舌，今年之前他虽然多次创造过令人惊讶的，但毕竟只是在亚洲范围内。06年他的个人最好成绩也只是百米9秒91、二百米19秒88。

After the 2007 season, Wenhao rose to prominence at lightning speed. He not only achieved excellent results in many high-level international competitions and set Asian records, but also set a world record in the Roma Golden League.

Now, Wenhao's performance in Osaka is even more impressive. He defeated the invincible Powell in the first 100-meter battle, which laid the foundation for Wenhao's gold medal and further improved his confidence.

Subsequently, the gold medal in the 4-meter event came naturally. Although the overall strength of the Chinese team in the 100x-meter relay was much inferior, in the end, it relied on the tacit cooperation of the first three team members and Wen Hao's invincible strength to successfully defeat the powerful team. Team USA.

Winning three gold medals also made Wenhao the first athlete to win three gold medals in one World Championships since Green in the 1999 World Championships in Seville.

At this World Championships, due to the outstanding performance of the Chinese team and the Jamaican team, the US team lost three gold medals in the sprint event compared to the previous session, and its dominance is on the verge of crumbling.

On September 9, the 2th IAAF World Athletics Championships officially concluded in Osaka.

However, after this night of fermentation, most of the reports on the Osaka World Championships on the Chinese Internet still revolve around Wen Hao, the newly promoted "Triple Crown".

After the official conclusion on the evening of September 9, a total of 2 countries and regions occupied positions on the medal list of the Osaka World Championships, of which 46 countries and regions had gold medals.

美国依然在奖牌榜上独占鳌头，取得了11枚金牌、7枚银牌和8枚铜牌的成绩，不过和上届赫尔辛基世锦赛的14金8银3块铜相比，却明显出现了掉落的态势。

Kenya, which only won 1 gold medal in the last World Championships, suddenly emerged. With its advantages in marathon and middle-distance running, Kenya won 5 gold medals. In addition, it also won 3 silver medals and 5 bronze medals. Together with Ethiopia, which won 3 gold medals, it became a force in Africa. An important manifestation of the rise.

俄罗斯则和美国一样出现了明显的滑落，本次世锦赛只获得了4枚金牌、9枚银牌和3枚铜牌，比上一届多了1银，却少了3金、2铜。中国队最终以4金1银1铜排在了第四名，创造了中国代表团参加田径世锦赛以来的历届最好成绩。

其中4金出自：男子100米（文浩）、男子200米（文浩）、男子110米栏（劉翔）、男子4×100米接力。

1 silver came from the women's marathon (Zhou Xiuchun), and 1 bronze came from the women's hammer throw (Zhang Wenxiu).

At this Osaka World Championships, China's track and field progress in the men's sprint field is really surprising.

Not to mention how exciting Wen Hao was when he won gold medals in the 100m and 200m events, it was really incredible that he won the 4x100m relay.

What was the situation like before sprinting in China?
Let alone reaching the finals through relay, it is rare to even get tickets for the World Championships.

Not only have we reached the finals, but we have also miraculously defeated the American team to win the championship. How can we not be surprised and incredible?

Before the World Championships started, people were expecting Wenhao to win the 100-meter championship. Although more people were not optimistic about the 200-meter event, they also felt that there was a certain chance.

But for the 4×100m event, people’s common thinking is that it’s enough to make it to the finals, or to win the Neon. As for the championship, that’s unthinkable.

Even Wen Hao himself only aroused his ambition to compete for the gold medal with the American team after seeing the team members' performance in the preliminaries.

As a team event, the Chinese men's 4×100m gold medal is based on Wen Hao's ultimate strength, but if the strength of the first three athletes is too poor, Wen Hao's skills will be useless.

And among the members of the relay team, even the oldest Hu Kai is only 25 years old this year, the second oldest Lao Yi is not yet 22 years old, and there are even "youngsters" like Su Bingtian who have just turned 18 years old. ".

The winning time of 37 seconds was only 76 seconds faster than the U.S. team, which was quite impressive. Any mistakes in the middle would not win the gold medal.

In particular, the U.S. sprint talent reserve is quite abundant, and the team sent to this World Championships is not the strongest. When the Yanjing Olympics next year, it will not be so easy for the Chinese team to win the championship.

However, if it continues to grow at this rate this year, I believe that the Chinese team will not be unable to fight against the stronger American team in the future.

On September 9, the first day after the Osaka World Championships, the IAAF officially updated the new world rankings.

In the men's 100m single event world rankings, he has steadily suppressed Tyson Gay, whose PB was only 9 seconds, and is far ahead of Asafa Powell, who was in poor form in the first half of the season.

Moreover, the men's 200-meter single event world ranking has successfully surpassed Tyson Gay, who previously dominated the list. As for third-placed Usain Bolt, he can't smell his exhaust at all.

因此凭借着100米与200米双项夺冠，且三破世锦赛纪录（100米9.81，200米19.78、19.46）所获得的巨额积分加成，文浩已经正式成为了总榜中积分排名最高的男子运动员。

Liu Xiang, on the other hand, relied on his two world-record-breaking points bonus during the season to rank second only to Wen Hao among the male athletes. It can be seen that it is actually easier for top multi-sport athletes like Wen Hao to rank in the standings. Having an advantage.

The triple crown winner of the Osaka World Championships and the first in the IAAF world rankings. At this time, Wenhao has completely secured the title of "King of Sprinting". Even calling him "King of Track and Field" is well-deserved.
