Sprint: This champion is a bit weird

Chapter 103 Liu Xiang changed from eight to seven?
  I'm looking for rhythm in the sun
  Oh, raise your head and pursue that freedom
  .

On the track and field field of the State Sports General Administration, a group of young guys are sweating profusely on the track, while the big speakers on the side of the field are playing dynamic music.

Yin Hualong, Liang Jiahong, Zhang Peimeng, and Wen Hao were running and training on the track and field in a strange state.

They were arranged in the assigned order of handing over the baton, and their running speed was relatively slow, which is the speed of ordinary people jogging for fitness.

The difference is that a baton is constantly being passed in their hands.

"One, two, three, pick up."

"One, two, three, pick up."

"."

Whoever has the baton in his hand shouts this slogan. At the same time, the person in front of him follows his slogan. When the word "take" is shouted, he reaches back and takes the baton from the former hand.

This is a simple handover training with very low practicality in the game. The main purpose is to cultivate tacit understanding among the players.

After two laps, the team members' bodies were also active. The next step was to stretch their muscles and joints, and then start formal training.

"Brother Xiang, your song is quite touching, but compared with Wen Hao's "Chasing Dreams", it's still a little less interesting."

Zhang Peimeng loves to complain. He had just warmed up after running these two laps and took the opportunity to complain to Liu Xiang.

Liu Xiang smiled: "What you said, Wen Hao's song has been in the top three of the rankings for how long, why should I compare with him? And I only sang along with this song a few lines, which doesn't count. It’s my song.”

Today is August 8, and the theme song of the Magic City Golden Grand Prix "Athletics Song (And Want You Know)" is officially released.

This song can only be regarded as a qualified pop song from the perspective of later generations or current mainstream music aesthetics. It will definitely have no chance of hitting various charts and winning awards like "Chasing Dreams".

However, Liu Xiang's reputation is now at its peak, so within a short period of time, it has spread rapidly among the streets and alleys.

"Stop talking about me, you should torture this guy Wen Hao first." Liu Xiang changed the topic and pointed the finger at Wen Hao.

"He told me before that he wanted to sing a new song at the concert, and it was also an English song. But after asking for a long time, he didn't come up with anything. It was mysterious. You have been living with him these days, and there is nothing No inside information?"

When asked by Liu Xiang, Zhang Peimeng was immediately confused and dumbfounded.

"Huh? English song? I can't do it!"

"Damn it, Wenhao, you piece of shit! Sing a few lines and listen, and I'll tell you that you tinker with that old guitar and write and draw in the notebook every night. It turns out you're improving your English without telling everyone!"

Wen Hao pushed away Zhang Peimeng's dog's paw on his shoulder and got rid of the topic in a few words.

His schedule is too busy and intensive right now, and he will definitely not be able to have contact with the outside world before the World Youth Championship.

I just want to take some time to make out with Miss Zhang, but that’s probably not going to happen, let alone the recording progress of “We Are Young”.

During the period of returning to China, Emma sent an email almost every day, asking herself when she should prepare to come to China.

A sixteen-year-old girl is at the age when she is very enthusiastic about new things. The problem is that Wen Hao really can't spare the time in a short period of time, so he can only put it off again and again.

But there is nothing that can be done. After all, winning glory for the country on the field is the most important thing.

The track and field field is very lively right now. After all, a national team is gathering together for training, and they are all energetic young athletes.

Field events are mostly concentrated in indoor venues, while track events are on this track and field.

As for sprint events, men and women train separately, while the 4×100m and 4×400m events are also trained separately.

Wen Hao is surrounded by three main teammates, Yin Hualong, Liang Jiahong, and Zhang Peimeng, as well as two substitute teammates, Chen Yibo and Li Yong.

As for Hu Kai, Pang Guibin, Wen Yongyi and others who have been selected for the Asian Games team, they are currently going to Ersha Island in Guangzhou for training. Yuan Guoqiang is in charge of leading the team. It is said that they will go to Birmingham, England to participate later this month. A track and field meet.

Unfortunately, the Birmingham Track and Field Championships were held from August 8th to August 19th. At that time, he was about to meet the relay event of the World Youth Championships. The time was completely conflicting, and he could only choose the former.

The reason Liu Xiang is there is because Sun Haixi has been "relying" on Li Qing these days and wants to find some new ways to improve Liu Xiang's strength.

"preparation--"

While talking, Liu Xiang was about to practice starting again.

Naturally, there will be no starting gun for training. Sun Haixi stood behind Liu Xiang, with his hands open, ready to clap at any time to simulate the sound of the starting gun.

Beside the runway, Li Qing was observing the details of Liu Xiang's movements through a high-speed camera. Next Liu Xiang will start running at full speed and cross three hurdles. What Li Qing has to do is to record this scene, and then conduct technical analysis of Liu Xiang through the scenes recorded by the high-speed camera.

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound of applause sounded behind Liu Xiang.

He almost didn't have to think. The moment his body simulated the sound of a gunshot, his legs kicked off the starting block and he quickly ran out.

Liu Xiang's starting posture has been adjusted to the details of the technical parameters based on Li Qing's suggestions and has become much more scientific than before.

However, after the training test was over, Li Qing watched the video several times and felt that there was something strange about Liu Xiang's top column, but he couldn't tell where the specific blame was.

After all, his main direction of attack is sprinting, not sprinting.

"Lao Li, if you have any problems, just tell me. Only when you tell the problem can you find a solution to the problem, right?"

Sun Haili thought that Li Qing was concerned about his face. After all, there were so many athletes and coaches coming and going on the track and field. If Li Qing really pointed out any big problems, then as Liu Xiang's coach, he would always be a bit embarrassed.

Wen Hao dragged a 20-kilogram barbell, sprinted several times in a row, slowly moved his muscles, and walked back to the sidelines.

"Don't be anxious. How can technical analysis produce results so quickly? Besides, my understanding of hurdles is not that in-depth. I will check the information and so on in the evening and study it carefully."

Li Qing answered a few sentences without raising his head, then transferred the video to his laptop and analyzed it carefully.

After Wen Hao finished a set of stretching, he walked to Li Qing curiously and watched the video.

In fact, there is really nothing to analyze about Liu Xiang's skills, because his skills in the hurdles have reached "the ultimate level".

There are only two parts that can really be studied in detail: the starting link before the first hurdle, and the final flat running link.

"Brother Xiang, do you feel that the rhythm is a little uncomfortable after starting to hit the first hurdle?" Wen Hao followed for a while and then turned to look at Liu Xiang.

"I watched the video of your game and found that your starts are basically very fast, and you are basically in the lead in the first three steps. But once you start attacking the hurdles, your position will suddenly fall behind. There is a problem.”

"Did you see it?" Liu Xiang looked a little excited about Wen Hao's analysis. "I always feel something is wrong, because no matter how I run, I will definitely fall behind Trammell and the others in the first three columns."

Sun Haixi also nodded and said: "This problem seems to have existed for a long time. I always thought it was caused by his technical style."

"Athletes like Trammell and Robles are characterized by quick starts and strong explosiveness, so they can usually take the lead in the first three hurdles and the first five hurdles."

"But their inter-hurdle skills and inter-hurdle rhythm are much worse than Liu Xiang's. So after Liu Xiang gradually adjusts the technical details and rhythm, he can always come from behind and achieve a lead in the later stages."

"But now it seems that Liu Xiang still has certain problems in technical details, which has affected his rhythm in the first three columns. If this problem can be corrected, maybe Liu Xiang will have the opportunity to go further."

Sun Haimi was also more cautious in his choice of words, just saying "there is a chance."

After all, any technical change may bring about a series of chain reactions.

Maybe after correcting this existing problem, Liu Xiang's future will become faster, but his future will become slower again?
  No one can tell.

But since there is a problem, it must be tried to solve, otherwise athletes will never know where their limits are.

"I know!" Wen Hao exclaimed in time, attracting everyone's attention.

"Brother Xiang, didn't you make detailed adjustments to the starting technical parameters before? After the adjustment, your first three strides became larger."

"But think about it, although your first three steps have become longer, it still takes eight steps from the start to the first hurdle. In this case, the first three steps are long, and the last five steps are not Are you going to run away in a hurry?"

When Wen Hao said this, Liu Xiang felt like he had woken up in an instant.

Yes, why is it that his starting reaction and starting speed are not weak, but every time he starts to attack the hurdles, he falls behind players like Trammell?

Because his explosive ability is insufficient?
  Because the running style is more towards the rear?
  It seems like neither.

In fact, before he adjusted his starting technique last month, he had been wondering why he was always relatively lagging behind in the race. Every time, he needed to continuously adjust his rhythm between hurdles through follow-up, and he could not catch up until halfway through. Those powerful opponents.

And once the rhythm between the hurdles is not adjusted well and the future is too far behind, there will be no way to catch up.

It turns out that the problem lies in the stride length of the first eight steps!

Liu Xiang waved his fist, looked at Sun Hailian, and said with eager eyes: "Master, what do you think of me changing the current eight steps to the hurdles to seven steps?"
