Sprint: This champion is a bit weird

Chapter 135: Average, third in the world

"Game start! Wen Hao started very quickly and was in the lead in the first 30 meters! 』

"Tyson Gay is giving chase! After half the race, he overtook and reached the first place. His strength was indeed better! 』

"The last 30 meters!" Wenhao, keep it up! Follow Tyson Gay! 』

"It's a pity to lose!" The American star Tyson Gay was the first to cross the line with a reference time of 9 seconds. The Chinese star Wen Hao won the runner-up! 』

"What a great performance! Wen Hao still continued his high-level performance in the international arena. Based on the gap I observed visually, this shot has a high chance of breaking the Asian record held by himself! 』

Thousands of miles away in Yanjing, the time has come to 9:17 in the morning on September 1.

In the studio of CCTV Sports Channel, after the fierce competition, Yang Jian gave a very reasonable analysis conclusion.

Originally at the stage of 50 to 80 meters, after seeing Tyson Gay overtake Wen Hao and even continue to widen the gap, Yang Jian's heart was already hanging.

Tyson Gay's full performance in downwind conditions can basically stably run between 9 and 85 seconds. Therefore, the greater the distance Wenhao is stretched in the middle and later stages, which means that he will The less likely it is that the Asian record will be refreshed in this competition.

But what Yang Jian didn't expect was that after 80 meters, Wen Hao miraculously chased back a certain distance, producing the visual effect of "secondary acceleration."

From the perspective of crossing the line, Tyson Gay is slightly relaxed, but for a world-class athlete like him, even in a relaxed state, the speed of crossing the line is difficult for many sprinters to match.

So it is obvious: Wenhao showed extremely good speed maintenance ability in the last 20 meters!

At the final moment of crossing the line, the gap between Wen Hao and Tyson Gay had been reduced to only half a body!

half body

"It can be seen from the expression that Wenhao is quite satisfied with his game. Although he still failed to defeat Tyson Gay, he ran a very good result after all. 』

"As for what this score will be in the end, and whether it can break the Asian record held by himself, let us follow him and wait for the final score sheet to be released."

In the Athens Olympic Stadium, Wen Hao changed from standing and looking up to sitting cross-legged on the ground, holding the track back with his hands, looking at the big screen in a more comfortable posture.

It wasn't that he didn't want to maintain a handsome posture, it was just that he felt a little weak after running out of the shot.

I didn’t participate in the Athens Grand Prix in early July. I had a fierce reaction when I ran 7 seconds in super wind speed, but I also felt dizzy.

Based on the estimation of the gap between himself and Tyson Gay at the final moment of crossing the line, he was very sure that he had indeed run a very good time, definitely within 9 seconds 95, or even close to 9 seconds 90.

Judging from his strong ability to run 9 seconds against the wind at the World Youth Championship, he is indeed capable of running such a result.

But now and then.

After the World Youth Championship, he was in love with his sister Zhang Lin at home, recording CCTV's first "My Olympics" program, talking about endorsements, and attending fan meetings.

When I arrived in the UK, I also recorded songs, shot music videos, attended charity dinners, and what is absolutely indispensable, spending every night with Emma.

I started to return to training on September 9st, and it has only been 1 days since I finished playing. How can I return to my peak condition so quickly?

If he hadn't been lucky today and performed at a super level, he might still be able to set a new Asian record, but it would only be 9 to 95 seconds at most.

I have to say that it is really a blessing to have a very reference master like Tyson Gay competing on the same field.

In the absence of Asafa Powell, Wenhao can simply use Tyson Gay as a reference, and then focus on stabilizing his running skills.

If Asafa Powell was present and he looked up and saw him leading the way, Wen Hao felt that he would not be so desperate to catch up at the back.

Tonight’s battle with Tyson Gay gave me another very useful competition experience, which is of great significance!

After waiting for a long time, even when the IAAF staff were preparing to clear the venue and prepare for the next finale event, the men’s 4×100 meters, the final results of the men’s 100 meters final were finally displayed on the big screen!

Wind speed: +1.1m/s

1 – United States – Tyson Gay – 9.88

2——China——Wen Hao——9.91 AR

3 - Portugal - Obikveru - 10.07

4 – Tedoba – Mark Burns – 10.13

5 - Nigeria - Emedolu - 10.14

6 – France – Ronald Vernon – 10.16

7 – Russia – Andrei Yepishin – 10.27

8 - Australia - Patrick Johnson - 10.28

9 – Greece – Anastasios Gussis – 10.34

"call--"

Seeing the conspicuous [9.91] after his name, Wen Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on the rubber track.

There were no tears of joy, no hysterical roars, just the natural joy that I felt for achieving this result.

At the same time, this result also gave a strong answer to Anga's doubts about himself.

During those 8 days in late August, in front of the outside world, especially in entertainment reports, he simply turned into a libertine with unlimited indulgence.

Although he is indeed a libertine, he is not too indulgent. Otherwise, he would have invited a bunch of beauties who are willing to devote themselves to pay money.

Zhang Jielin is the destination he wants to spend the rest of his life with, Emma is the flower he wants to keep for a long time after his lustful intentions, and music is the hobby in life that he doesn't want to give up.

He is a greedy person, so he will not give up on anyone if possible.

After carpe diem, he returned to the training ground. In order to live up to his sports ideals and to live up to the fans and people who supported him, he also used unimaginable training intensity and volume to urge and force himself on the field. can achieve a sufficiently ideal competitive state.

9 second 91!

He didn't live up to his ideals, let alone his fans and people who loved and supported him!

"Congratulations, Wen Hao, you have set a new Asian record!" Arriving at the media interview area, Wen Hao saw another familiar face, Wang Yaohua, Xinhua News Agency's track and field reporter in Europe.

Wen Hao responded with a bright smile: "Just average, third in the world!"

Wang Yaohua originally thought he was just making a joke, but after thinking about it, he suddenly realized that this jingle seemed to be true!

After Justin Gatlin was found to be doping, although he is still fighting a lawsuit and the final penalty has not been determined, all the results he ran in the 2006 season have been canceled by the IAAF.

After Justin Gatlin, the world number one is Asafa Powell's two world-record feats of 9 seconds.

Ranked second is Tyson Gay, who ran 9 seconds in the Zurich Golden League.

As for third place, another American master, Leonard Scott, ran 9 seconds at the Stuttgart Track and Field Finals.

Now, Wen Hao also ran a good time of 9 seconds, tied with Leonard Scott for third place in the men's 91-meter personal best time in the 2006 season!

Good guy, this sentence of "average, third in the world" really hit the mark!

"You are really good. This sentence helped me think of tomorrow's news front page headline, hahahaha."

Wang Yaohua smiled and joked, then quickly calmed down and started the interview.

"I'll ask a few questions next, and you can just answer them briefly."

"Yeah, brother Wang, please ask."

"Okay, first question." Wang Yaohua held the recorder in his hand and began to ask: "To be able to run such an excellent result of 9 seconds today, I believe you are also very happy. At this time, I think of you in the World Youth League Performance in the game.”

"In the men's 100-meter final of the Yanjing World Youth Championships, you almost stopped swinging your arms back and forth in the last 20 meters and crossed the finish line with your chest patted. After seeing this scene, many people thought that if you gave your best, It’s far more than 9 seconds, it’s even possible to run below 98 seconds.”

"So today's 9 seconds, will it be the final time you can run in the World Youth Championship without letting go?"

Wang Yaohua’s question has been laid out for a long time, but related issues actually sparked a discussion as early as last month when Wen Hao ran 9 seconds to win the championship, but he himself has not responded in this regard.

It just so happens that I take this opportunity to do some popular science for the fans and people who follow him.

"First of all, I did not cross the line with all my strength at the World Youth Championship. If I had crossed the line with all my strength, my results would definitely be better, but it would never be so exaggerated that I could run under 9 seconds."

"After the game, my coach Li Qing conducted an analysis and believed that I could probably run around 9 seconds when I crossed the line with all my strength. So don't make random guesses. At present, I am not fully qualified to run. The ability to score 94 seconds in 9 seconds.”

Wang Yaohua nodded while listening. After Wen Hao finished answering, he immediately took over the topic and said: "If you don't have it now, it doesn't mean there won't be one in the future. I believe you can continue to create miracles in the future!"

Wen Hao smiled and nodded.

"Then the second question is. After the Athens Athletics World Cup is over, you will return to China to prepare for the Magic City Golden Grand Prix. According to the news I received, Tyson Gay will also participate in this game tonight. There is only 0.03 seconds difference between you and him, so on the night of the 23rd, is it possible to create a miracle?"

"Brother Wang, are you trying to embarrass me?" Wen Hao first shook his head and smiled, and then replied in a serious manner:

"To be honest, not only fans and the public will have expectations for miracles, but I myself will also have certain expectations. But it is useless to just talk about miracles, and it is impossible for me to predict whether a miracle will happen. will happen."

"I can only say that when facing a powerful opponent like Tyson Gay, I will definitely try my best on the field and do what I should do. As for the miracle, let God decide!"

"Okay, then the third question." Before Wang Yaohua finished asking, he was interrupted by the sound of a gunshot.

Tonight’s finale event, the men’s 4×100m relay, has begun!

The interview is not live, so the interruption has no impact, but the game is not to be missed.

Wen Hao and Wang Yaohua both looked towards the stadium in unison, and their eyes were also on the neon relay team in Lane 7.

For the Athens Athletics World Cup, Neon sent their strongest relay lineup to compete: Naoki Tsukahara in the first leg, Shingo Suetsugu in the second leg, Shinji Takahira in the third leg, and Yusuke Ohmae in the fourth leg.

Although the U.S. team in lane 6 lacks Tyson Gay, its strongest fighting force, its overall strength is still quite strong. At least on paper, its strength is not what other teams can match.

In the end, the American team won the championship without any suspense, running a time of 37 seconds. If the third leg was replaced by Tyson Gay, the final time might be within 75 seconds.

The victory of the American team was not unexpected at all, but what was unexpected was that the runner-up was neither the "European team" represented by the entire British relay team, nor was it the "European team" represented by Asafa Powell and composed of four Caribbean masters. "Team America".

But Team Neon!

38 seconds 26, this result also comes with a conspicuous suffix - AR.

It's not just Wen Hao who broke the Asian record tonight, but also the neon relay team, which has shown in recent months that it wants to compete with the Chinese sprint!

In the interview area, Wen Hao's face couldn't help but become serious after seeing the neon relay team breaking the Asian record.

The difficulty of winning three gold medals at the Asian Games and achieving the title of "Triple Crown" at the World Youth Championship seems to be rising to another level.
