Sprint: This champion is a bit weird

Chapter 281 New Journey 2008!

2008, April 1.

"Put on your clothes, don't catch a cold at this moment."

On the flight from Orlando to Boston, Li Qing threw Wen Hao's coat back again and told him to put it on quickly with a serious look on his face.

"I just got on the plane and haven't arrived in Boston yet, coach!"

It seemed like he was talking back, but in fact he was already putting on his clothes.

Not only that, Wen Hao also took the initiative to wear a mask, which can not only effectively prevent infection by the virus, but also block his handsome face, which is increasingly recognized in the United States.

Winter training has been going on for almost two months. At this time, according to the original game plan, he went to Boston in the northeastern United States to participate in the Reebok Indoor Games to test his technical improvements.

Of course, in addition to this, he also wanted to set his own indoor 60-meter record and qualify for this year's World Indoor Track and Field Championships in Valencia, Spain.

If you want to compete with Bolt who is at his peak this year, you must seize every opportunity to improve yourself.

Technical improvement is certainly a top priority, but if you want to quickly improve your own strength, you have to use the system.

If you shoot a few more personal bests, Asian records or even world records in the indoor competition, you will definitely be rewarded with a lot of potential points. Only by accumulating enough potential points can you improve your physical attributes enough to compete with Usain Bolt.

"This time I went to Boston to participate in the indoor competition, it suddenly reminded me of the time I took you to Thailand to participate in the Asian Indoor Championships in 06. Oh, two years have passed in the blink of an eye." Li Qing smiled and sighed, "These two months With technical improvements, all your training indicators have improved significantly compared to last year, so it should be no problem to break the world record.”

Wen Hao smiled slightly and nodded silently.

室内60米的世界纪录，是美国名将莫里斯·格林在1998年的马德里室内大奖赛上创造的6秒39，另外他在2001年的亚特兰大美国室内锦标赛上也跑出过一次6秒39。

Currently, Maurice Green is the only athlete in the history of the indoor 60 meters to run under 6 seconds. He held the indoor 40 meters and outdoor 60 meters world records at the same time, and his popularity can be said to be unprecedented.

However, although the time of 6 seconds is indeed difficult for Wen Hao, it is at least much easier than running 39 seconds for 9 meters.

So far, within the legal wind speed of +2.0m/s, Wen Hao has run within 9 seconds seven times, including three times within 90 seconds, namely:
2007 Golden League Rome Station, 9.76 (+1.0m/s), breaking the world record for the first time;

2007 World Athletics Finals in Stuttgart, 9.72 (+0.8m/s), breaking the world record for the second time;

2007 Magic City Golden Grand Prix, 9.75 (0.0m/s), significantly breaking the competition record.

这三次跑进9秒80大关成绩，文浩的前60米分段用时均在6秒40以内，其中罗马9秒76那枪为6.39+3.37，斯图加特9秒72那枪为6.36+3.36，魔都9秒75那枪为6.38+3.37。

Looking only at last year's outdoor 6.36-meter split data, Wen Hao's future ability is actually still far behind Maurice Green. After all, this great master has also run the first 60-meter split time within seconds many times.

But the gap in future ability is now limited to last year. Now after comprehensive improvements in technology, Wen Hao's starting acceleration ability has been strengthened to a certain extent. Coupled with the additional attributes, it can impact Maurice Green's indoor 60 meters. Record, there is still a very good chance.

Other athletes might not be so confident, because the indoor 60-meter event is actually not taken seriously by top sprinters.

Maurice Green's era was relatively good. Because of his leadership, many outstanding 60-meter athletes at that time also participated in the indoor -meter event, which brought a lot of popularity to this event.

However, as Maurice Green grew older, he himself also reduced the number of indoor 60-meter competitions to avoid the risk of injury caused by excessive participation, and this event became unpopular again.

After him, Justin Gatlin and Asafa Powell were not very fond of the indoor 60-meter event. Tyson Gay also abandoned this event in 07 and began to focus on the outdoor 100 and 200.

Needless to say, Bolt, who has not yet "come to earth", has never run an indoor 60-meter race in his previous life, and there is a high probability that he will not join in the fun in this life.

Of course, another reason is that most athletes are still in the reserve or adjustment period of winter training from January to March.

At this time, most athletes are not in very good competitive condition, especially athletes in track and field events. Due to the continuous "strengthening" during winter training, the body will become very "heavy", and technical movements are often difficult to perform like in the outdoor season. There is a "lightness" to it.

In contrast, it is easier for athletes in field events to adjust to their competitive state, and since world records in field events are interconnected indoors and outdoors, it is not new to set world records in the indoor season from January to March.

All in all, whether it is to test the technical improvements during winter training, or to set records and gain potential points to improve his own attributes, Wenhao will inevitably show off his talents in this year's indoor season.

And for Wen Hao, improving his future ability is crucial.

However, he has always been a late-range, fast and durable running style. His future prospects are indeed much better than Tyson Gay, but he is often inferior to Asafa Powell.

And if he wants to defeat Bolt, who is at the peak of his mechanics, he must not have any weaknesses, no matter whether he is ahead or behind.

Because Bolt himself is a hexagonal warrior with no weaknesses!

To this day, Wen Hao still clearly remembers the biomechanical analysis report of the 2009 Berlin World Championships by International Athletics in his previous life.

In the men's 100m final of the World Championships in Berlin, under wind speed of +0.9m/s, Bolt ran an astonishing time of 9 seconds and set a new world record again.

Combined with the IAAF's biomechanical analysis, many experts and private data masters have summarized a piece of data that has gained more recognition in the industry, Bolt's 9 seconds (58) per 9.572 meters segment data:
0~10 meters takes 1.88 seconds, speed 5.32m/s;

10~20 meters takes 1.00 seconds, speed 10.00m/s;

20~30 meters takes 0.90 seconds, speed 11.11m/s;

30~40 meters takes 0.86 seconds, speed 11.63m/s;

40~50 meters takes 0.84 seconds, speed 11.90m/s;

50~60 meters takes 0.83 seconds, speed 12.05m/s;

60~70 meters takes 0.80 seconds, speed 12.50m/s;

70~80 meters takes 0.81 seconds, speed 12.35m/s;

80~90 meters takes 0.82 seconds, speed 12.20m/s;

90~100 meters takes 0.84 seconds and the speed is 11.90m/s.

The data doesn’t lie. Many Chinese people were shocked by the scene in the 2015 Yanjing World Championships semi-finals where Bolt made a mistake in starting and staggered behind Su Bingtian. Combined with Yang Jian’s explanation, “Su Bingtian messed up Bolt at the start.” , thus creating a stereotype about Bolt's starting ability and future ability.

But in fact, at his peak, Bolt was also world-class in the first 10 meters of the start. He was absolutely world-class in the first 30 meters. By 60 meters (at the time), only Asafa Powell could match him.

As for the 40-meter section at the back, Bolt had no opponent at all. Even if Tyson Gay tried his best to catch up despite his groin injury, he could only watch himself being beaten by Bolt. Get rid of the gap of 0.05 seconds!

As the only world record holder and the greatest sprinter in track and field history, Bolt at his peak had no shortcomings.

Even in 15 or 16, when he entered the end of his career, Bolt's future was still stable at around 6 seconds due to age, physical decline and injuries.

而创造了9秒83奇迹、跑出6秒29历史第一前60米分段的“亚洲速度”苏炳天，职业生涯中也仅有两次比赛跑出过6.40以内的前60米分段而已。

Wenhao is not worried about Su Nai, because this is his strength. At present, it seems that the biggest gap between him and Bolt is his speed ability.

Take his world record time of 9 seconds set at the World Athletics Finals in Stuttgart as an example:
0~10 meters takes 1.90 seconds, speed 5.26m/s;

10~20 meters takes 1.02 seconds, speed 9.80m/s;

20~30 meters takes 0.91 seconds, speed 10.99m/s;

30~40 meters takes 0.86 seconds, speed 11.63m/s;

40~50 meters takes 0.84 seconds, speed 11.90m/s;

50~60 meters takes 0.83 seconds, speed 12.05m/s;

60~70 meters takes 0.83 seconds, speed 12.05m/s;

70~80 meters takes 0.84 seconds, speed 11.90m/s;

80~90 meters takes 0.84 seconds, speed 11.90m/s;

90~100 meters takes 0.85 seconds and the speed is 11.77m/s.

博尔特是60~70米到达极速状态，50~60米的速度强度约为96.4%，90~100米下降至最高速度的95.2%。

而文浩是50~60米就达到了极速状态，40~50米的速度强度约为98.7%，90~100米下降至最高速度的97.7%。

Judging from the data alone, Wen Hao can maintain a top speed of about 12.05m/s for 20 meters, and only loses 2.3% of the speed in the rear range. Wenhao's speed endurance can be said to be extremely abnormal.

But the reason is that his previous [Endurance] attribute of only 93 points can support him to have such a strong speed endurance ability, which shows that his extreme speed ability has not been fully developed.

For Wen Hao, starting technique is certainly a point that needs to be strengthened. After all, if we have to find a "weakness" in Bolt, it must be the starting ability, and this is the only one that has the best chance of suppressing it. Bolt's.

But apart from that, the improvement of top speed capabilities must be given the highest priority.

If the top speed can be stronger, it may not need to reach the terrifying level of about 12.50m/s like Bolt. Even if it only reaches more than 12.30m/s, with his better speed endurance ability, he can still compete with Bolt. One more point to win in special battles.

With his thoughts diverging to this point, Wen Hao took out his headphones and put them on, closed his eyes and fell asleep, but actually checked his system properties panel.
-
Name: Wen Hao

Age: 19 years old (1988.05.08)

Occupation: Track and field (sprint) athlete
Strength: 93→94
Stamina: 93→94
Speed: 91→93
Physical fitness: 92→93
Flexibility: 92→93
Reaction: 94→95
Potential value: 4.3%——
After two months of winter training, the improvement in major attributes is actually not that big. Among them, 1 point each for [Strength], [Endurance] and [Flexibility] are the cumulative results of training.

[Physical Energy] and [Reaction] were brought about by Wen Hao himself consuming his potential points to add points.

The reason for adding points to [Physical Fitness] is that this attribute has not moved during the winter training. Due to the improvement of other attributes, he is afraid that after starting indoor competitions, his total physical reserves and recovery speed will not be able to keep up.

Moreover, due to the distance, the indoor 60-meter event requires higher starting reaction requirements than the 100-meter event. In addition, he found it increasingly difficult to improve the [reaction] attribute through training, so he could only choose to consume his potential. value to add some improvement.

The most gratifying thing is that the [Speed] attribute has been increased by 2 points in one go.

This fully shows that with the help of Renault and Ralf Mann, his technical ability has been greatly improved compared to last year, and he can better utilize his basic attributes.

Moreover, the technical improvements have only been carried out for less than two months. After the indoor season ends and before the outdoor season starts, according to the plan, he will need to continue to make technical improvements for about two months.

Wen Hao had a hunch that at least until the average of the three attributes [Strength], [Endurance] and [Flexibility] increased to 95 points, his [Speed] attribute would be able to follow closely and would never be a hindrance.

As for what will happen next, we can only choose to believe in Renault and Ralph Mann.

Believe first, question later!
……

Boston, Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport.

Wen Hao followed the passengers on the same plane and fell to the end of the queue, walking slowly in the aisle.

Since the competition itinerary was announced, there were many media waiting at the airport taking pictures of him with their cameras. After arriving at the hotel where he was traveling, he would probably have to be interviewed.

In addition to media reporters, many fans also came to the airport to pick him up.

The English debut album "Hall of Fame" is making waves all over the world. On the US Billboard Hot 100 singles chart alone, the title song "Hall of Fame" has been at the top for five consecutive weeks.

"One Day" ranked seventh, "Something Just Like This" ranked tenth, "Believer" ranked sixteenth, and the remaining four songs were also among the top 100.

It has been a month since the release of the album's title track "Hall of Fame". Wenhao has only accepted a few exclusive interviews from the media and has not appeared in public at all.

Therefore, it is not easy to have such an opportunity to meet, and fans will not miss it.

The Reebok Indoor Games in Boston on the 26th is just the appetizer. When the Millrose Indoor Games in New York on February 2nd, it is estimated that the scene of fans picking up and cheering will be even more lively.

"There are so many people, Brother Hao. Now I finally understand why you didn't go to the beach with us during the winter training break." Su Bingtian couldn't help but shrink his neck when he heard the noisy and excited shouts of the fans in the airport.

"How many reporters are waiting outside the academy for me to go out and take pictures. If we really want to go to the beach, I'm afraid that if we just arrive in the morning, we will be surrounded by fans in the hotel at noon and unable to get out." Wen Hao shook his head and laughed.

On New Year's Day, Yuan Guoqiang and Li Qing, in order to reward the team members who had worked hard in training, specially took them to the beach to play, so that the young men who had been tense physically and mentally for a long time could relax.

The young people were so happy, but Wen Hao refused and stayed alone in the college to spend the New Year's Day.

It's not that he doesn't like Florida's sunny beaches, but as his fame grows, it becomes increasingly difficult for him to travel privately, and people are watching him wherever he goes.

Not to mention going to the beach to play, just staying in the IMG Academy, occasionally I will be photographed by some paparazzi or illegitimate fans who take great pains to train, and then set off a hot discussion on the Internet.

Paparazzi and illegitimate fans are not just a thing found in East Asia. Even in this land that places great emphasis on "freedom", the behavior of paparazzi and illegitimate fans is even more unscrupulous.

Therefore, Wen Hao will never appear in public unless necessary.

If necessary, you must be fully armed and disguised as much as possible so that outsiders cannot recognize you.

Wen Hao patted Su Bingtian on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't look at it, it's nothing surprising. Perform well in two days and try to reach the (Indoor) World Championships with one shot."

"Well, one shot hits the mark!" Su Bingtian responded forcefully and followed Wen Hao expectantly.

The new journey of the 2008 Olympic Games has begun!
