Sprint: This champion is a bit weird

Chapter 101 The so-called leader

The reference score of crossing the line in 20 seconds 02 is a bit hanging.

But the accident did not happen after all. After the referee at the finish line made a photo judgment, Wen Hao's crossing score was accurate to the thousandth place, which was 20.020.

It just happened to be stuck at 20 seconds. If you add 02 seconds more, according to the "thousandth place is not zero and then one" principle stipulated by the IAAF, the final score will be 0.001 seconds.

The difference of 0.01 seconds, one is a new Asian record, and the other is just equal to the Asian record.

At this point, the neon sprint era created by Koji Ito and Shingo Suetsugu in the two Asian sprint events of 100 meters and 200 meters has come to an end!

However, it’s not too early to be happy.

At the moment, Wen Hao has only surpassed these two famous neon generals in terms of performance.

As a sportsman, performance comes first, but honors in competitions are also absolutely indispensable.

At the Asian Games at the end of the year, he will personally defeat Shingo Sutsutsu and be crowned the true "King of Asia" with honor!
  Looking up, in addition to his own new Asian record of 20 seconds, Yang Yaozu and Zhang Peimeng also ran good results.

The wind speed in this game is +0.2m/s.

Yang Yaozu ran 20 seconds, officially crossing the 48 mark, setting a new personal best.

Zhang Peimeng ran 20 seconds, greatly improving his personal best by 74 seconds, and successfully reached the B standard of the men's 0.15m event at the Osaka World Championships.

国际田联第11届世界锦标赛，将在2007年的8月24日～9月2日，于霓虹城市大阪举行。

除马拉松、全能、竞走之外的个人项目，达标时间为2006年8月1日~2007年7月31日，且均分为A、B两个标准。

男子100米项目的A标是10秒21，B标是10秒28。

男子200米项目的A标是20秒59，B标是20秒75。

According to the rules of the IAAF, if a country or region’s representative team reaches or exceeds the A standard by 3 athletes within the specified time, the country or region will adopt its own plan to select participants.

For example, in the United States, because many events can exceed the standards, the U.S. Championships held in late June every year function as Olympic/World Championship trials.

Regardless of the honors an athlete has received or the level of performance, as long as it is a single event, only the ranking in the National Trials will be used as the first reference.

如果在规定的达标时间内，有1~2名达到A标的运动员及若干达到B标的运动员，则除了能那1~2名A标运动员外，该代表队还可以额外派出1名B标运动员参赛（1+2或）。

If there is no athlete who reaches the A standard within the specified time, the event can only send one athlete who reaches the B standard to compete.

This is why the Track and Field Management Center will hold this year's championships in early August.

Just like now, through the holding of this championship, two people in the men's 100m event have reached the A standard of the Osaka World Championships: Wen Hao (9.98) and Yang Yaozu (10.21), and one person has reached the B standard: Hu Kai.

In the men's 200-meter event, Wen Hao and Yang Yaozu also both reached the A standard, and Zhang Peimeng reached the B standard.

The situation is similar over at Neon. In the 100-meter event, Shingo Sutsuzu reached the A standard, and Naoki Tsukahara and Shinji Takahira reached the B standard. In the 200-meter event, Shingo Sutsutsu reached the A standard, and the two reached B standards. The targets are Shinji Takahira and Yusuke Ohmae respectively.

Looking at it this way, the two sprint armies of China and Japan will inevitably stage a fierce confrontation at the Doha Asian Games.

The 2006 National Track and Field Championships ended in the night.

In addition to Liu Xiang, the much-anticipated world record holder in the 110-meter hurdles, and Wen Hao, who broke the Asian record in the 200-meter hurdles, the Guangdong track and field team is probably the biggest "winner" today.

男子4×100米金牌、男子4×400米金牌、女子4×400米金牌以及女子400米栏，公共4枚金牌入账，广东队今天可谓是赚得盆满钵满。

After the competition in all events ended, the national track and field team held a press conference as usual, inviting major TV stations and news media to the scene.

Liu Xiang was the last one to arrive. He appeared at the press conference with a smile on his face and took a seat between Wen Hao and Feng Shuyong. Not many athletes were present at the press conference, including Wen Hao, Liu Xiang, and Li Zhenzhen, who broke the national record in the women's 3000 meters and reached the B standard of the World Championships.

Compared with Wen Hao, Liu Xiang's championship this time was just for "playing". He easily defended his title in the final with a time of 13 seconds. Shi Dongpeng tried his best and only managed to reach 28 seconds. The difference in strength is not too obvious.

The reporters naturally asked Liu Xiang the first few questions, and then it was Wen Hao and Li Zhuzhen's turn.

CCTV News: "As the double Asian record holder in the 100m and 200m, what is your next goal?" 』

This question is not difficult. In fact, in the past few days, sports reports in China and Japan have gradually exaggerated a certain atmosphere.

Wen Hao: "The next goal is definitely the Asian Games at the end of the year. In the next four months, all I need to do is train hard, adjust my condition to the best, and work with my teammates on the relay team to polish the handover. Technology, try to pack the gold medals in the three events of 100m, 200m, and 4×100m relay back to China at once.”

After answering this question, Feng Shuyong and Yu Weili, the two main leaders of the national track and field team, were already smiling.

Yanjing Evening News: "We all know that in July you went to Europe to participate in two high-level international events, and now you are back in China to participate in the National Championships. What makes you feel the most different between the two?" 』

Wen Hao thought for a moment and answered the question truthfully:

“The biggest difference between competing abroad and competing domestically is the level of the opponents. Every opponent I encountered at the Athens Grand Prix and London Grand Prix could easily win the championship domestically. level."

The reporter then asked another question: "With such a big gap between the level of domestic and foreign competitions, will you be like Liu Xiang and focus on international competitions in the future?" 』

"I think this problem is inevitable. After all, if I want to continue to improve in the future, I will definitely have to compete with high-level international athletes, but I will not ignore domestic competitions too much."

"After crossing the line in the 200-meter final, Yang Yaozu came over and hugged me and said thank you. I asked him why. He said: Without you leading from the front and without the pressure you put on me, it might be difficult for me to be here. There was a breakthrough in the second national championship.”

"At that moment I realized that I had unknowingly become a leader. I have an obligation to lead the way and set a way forward for those athletes who are chasing their sprint dreams like me. Let them run on this road more firmly and shine for Chinese track and field and Chinese sports!"

After saying this, Feng Shuyong immediately took the lead in applauding, and a burst of warm applause erupted at the press conference.

Whether he meant it sincerely or he had drafted it in advance, Wen Hao's speech was indeed very high-level and worthy of applause from everyone present.

The next question was from Guangxi Daily: "After Liu Xiang became the Olympic champion in person, there was a hurdle craze in the country. Now that you have broken the 10-second mark, there seems to be another sprint craze." What would you like to say to the teenagers and children who are about to step onto the track and field? 』

Finally I came to a relatively relaxed and easy-to-answer question. Sure enough, my old cousin from Guangxi still loves me.

Wen Hao smiled and replied: "I want to say that first of all, whether it is sprinting or other sports, once you enter the competitive field, the training process must be very boring, and there are actually very few people who are truly talented."

"I suggest that parents and students should first participate for the purpose of exercising, and then through competitions such as school sports meets and city sports meets to see if they have any talent in this area, and then consider Do you want to follow the path of competitive sports? Thank you."

The last question was from a reporter from Xinlang Sports: "I heard that recently some female athletes boldly expressed their love to you, and some female stars in the entertainment industry said they like you, a handsome sports guy. Now fans are concerned about what kind of guy you will find in the future." As for your girlfriend, can you tell us about your ideal type? 』

Wen Hao held the microphone and blinked.

As expected of you, Xinlang, who specifically chooses this kind of topic to ask questions, right?

"Ahem -" Wen Hao pointed to someone next to him maliciously, "I'm still young, I'm only 18 years old this year. You should ask the 24-year-old star next to me more about this kind of thing."

Liu Xiang reacted very quickly. He immediately took out his mobile phone from his pocket and pretended to answer the call.

"Hey, Mom? What? Aunt Wang wants to introduce a girl to me for a blind date? You can wait until I get back to talk about this kind of thing. I'm surrounded by reporters now."

The reporters at the scene were immediately amused by Liu Xiang's words and actions, and the press conference was declared over with such a clever "temporary performance" by Liu Xiang.

As for the type of girl Wen Hao likes, people may only know this issue one day in the future after his relationship is officially exposed.

　After that, there should be another chapter.
