Sprint: This champion is a bit weird

Chapter 209 The next battle—Osaka World Championships!

"The notice from the Athletics Association has come down."

In the nanny's car, Li Qing handed the printed document to Wen Hao expressionlessly, and gave him a slight glare.

Wen Hao smiled awkwardly, took the file and started reading it.

At noon, she and Mo Wenwei had a passionate exercise for more than half an hour. After lunch was ready, Emma also woke up. As a result, the meal lasted until half past two o'clock.

After tidying up the battlefield, washing and dressing up, and seeing the hour hand pointing past three o'clock, Wen Hao hurried out under the urging of the phone. He didn't get scolded twice, which was because Li Qing had a bad temper.

The nanny car drove smoothly towards the agreed-upon location. Fortunately, it was not far away, and it was located in a wealthy area with convenient transportation. It could be reached within ten minutes.

"Well, the leaders of the Track and Field Association are being considerate and have not allowed us to return to China to participate in the National Championships at this time." After quickly browsing the document, Wen Hao smiled with satisfaction.

"This is also because you ran a good result in Sheffield before." Li Qing put the documents back into his briefcase. "Although the time of 38 seconds did not exceed the Neon Team's Asian record, it was still a record after all. A new national record and a win against Team USA.”

Since the Suzhou World Championships trials ended and all members of the relay team went to France for training, the top management of the Athletics Association has been debating whether to transfer the relay team members back to China in early August to participate in this year's Shijiazhuang Championships.

The leaders of the national training team, headed by Feng Shuyong and Yu Weili, naturally argued that this was a critical period to prepare for the Osaka World Championships and that it was not worth the gain to bring the players back to China at this time.

But the competition department also has its own difficulties. After all, the men's 100 meters has long been one of the few track and field events that can be sufficiently attractive to the domestic public even without a sprint star like Wen Hao.

But this time the relay team went to France for training, and the essence of the Chinese men's 100-meter event was taken away at once. Although the remaining members, including Wen Yongyi, Lu Bin, Yin Hualong and others, are also good in strength, they alone cannot sustain it. Start the game.

"So we still have to talk about our results," Wen Hao sighed slightly, "Only by showing persuasive results can we have the confidence to convince those domestic leaders whose thinking is still stuck in the last century to recognize the path we are taking. "

If you want to continue on this path, domestic leaders must see that the training camp in France is effective, and it must be before the national championship in early August.

So the entire relay team went to Sheffield, England, to compete with the American team, and even beat the American team.

But the premise of all this is that Tyson Gay does not play.

The lineup of the Chinese team at that time was: Lao Yi in the first baton, Hu Kai in the second baton, Su Bingtian in the third baton, and Wen Hao in the fourth baton.

The US team's lineup is: Rodney Martin in the first baton, Wallace Spearmon in the second baton, Davis Patton in the third baton, and Leroy Dixon in the fourth baton.

To be honest, if Tyson Gay is not in charge, the configuration of this American team is indeed a bit bad.

The first Rodney Martin, the 100m SB (best of the season) is 10.31 (+1.2), and the 200m PB is 20.18 (-0.3). He is the kind of person who has weak startup acceleration ability, but has the ability to run and speed on the way. Stronger players.

The second best player, Wallace Spearmon, has a 200-meter SB of 19.89 (-0.3). He is a player with weak starting acceleration ability, but high top speed and strong speed endurance.

第三棒的达维斯·帕顿，100米SB是10.11（+1.1），200米SB是20.49（+1.3），属于启动加速能力较强、途中跑能力较强、速耐能力偏弱的选手。

第四棒的勒罗伊·迪克森，100米SB是10.07（+1.9），200米SB是21.01（+1.9），属于启动加速能力偏弱、途中跑能力较强、速耐能力偏弱的选手。

When the entire lineup is paired together, one word stands out—abstract.

Xavier Carter, who ran the second fastest 200 meters in history last year with a time of 19 seconds, stopped in the U.S. 63 meters semifinals due to injury this year and was not selected for the U.S. relay team.

Rookie Walter Dix, who performed well this season, ran 100 seconds in the U.S. 10-meter finals and ranked third, but he was eliminated due to lack of qualifications and experience.

Sean Crawford, who has rich experience, did not perform well in the US Championships due to injuries, but he was invited to the relay team.

However, what is ironic is that Crawford himself refused to join the relay team due to injury. He only planned to participate in the Golden League and Grand Prix to make money, and fully prepare for the Yanjing Olympics.

This is the current situation of the U.S. men's sprint and relay teams. The system is chaotic and because the players belong to different contract companies, the difficulty of management is also quite a headache for those in charge.

In contrast, the current situation of the Chinese relay team is somewhat like "vigorous and everything is competing".

After breaking the national record at the Sheffield Grand Prix on July 7, the rest of the team members, except Wen Hao, immediately rushed back to France to participate in the Reims Track and Field Invitational on July 15.

The level of the Reims Track and Field Invitational Tournament is only E-level. Members of the Chinese relay team are fully qualified to register. Hu Kai, Lao Yi, and Su Bingtian participated in the 100 meters, and Zhang Peimeng and Liang Jiahong participated in the 200 meters.

In the men's 100m adult group A, under wind speed conditions of +0.7m/s, Hu Kai ran a time of 10 seconds, which was the best of the season.
In the men's 100m adult group B, under the wind speed of +1.1m/s, Lao Yi ran a time of 10 seconds, setting a new personal best, and tied with Yang Yaozu to become the sixth man in the history of Chinese men's 21m!

In the men's 100-meter youth group, under the wind speed of -0.4m/a, Su Bingtian ran a time of 10 seconds, setting a new personal best.

男子200米比赛中，-0.3m/s的风速条件下，章培萌跑出20秒65再次刷新个人最佳，梁佳宏也跑出了20秒81的成绩刷新个人最佳。

This series of season-best and personal best results alone fully demonstrated the remarkable effect of training in France.

Returning to China to participate in the National Championships?
Join the Hammer!
Point directly at Osaka!

Paris, Michel Yazzi Athletics Club.

"Set——"

On the track and field, Wen Hao, Hu Kai, and Su Bingtian performed squatting acceleration training together.

Yuan Guoqiang stood behind them, acting as the starter, while Li Qing stood under the awning on the sidelines to control the computer, and the biomechanical analysis software on the screen continued to run.

When the three were ready, Yuan Guoqiang immediately slapped his hands hard to simulate the starting gun signal.

"Snapped!"

Loud slaps came from behind the three team members.

The three people on the starting line suddenly exerted their strength and kicked off the starting block. Then there was a series of "puff-puff-puff" footsteps, and they did not start to slow down until they had passed 60 meters.

"Next group, next group, hurry up and get on the starting block without wasting time!"

After the three of them finished running, Yuan Guoqiang immediately went to the side of the track and shouted hello. Zhang Peimeng, Lao Yi, and Liang Jiahong walked over while pushing and fighting each other.

"I'm almost done resting, let's join you!" Liu Xiang, who was shirtless, also ran over with a smile and walked to the starting line of the 10-meter hurdles, 110 meters away from the three of them.

The boys on the relay team are used to this kind of mixed training scene.

At first, due to differences in projects, they and Liu Xiang practiced separately, and only got together to joke and joke after training.

But after getting familiar with each other for a long time, Sun Haixi changed the order of training content according to Liu Xiang's ideas, and arranged running and crossing content with the same distance to be trained together.

Just like now, when the relay team practices 60 meters, Liu Xiang practices the 60-meter hurdles.

The difference is that Liu Xiang uses a separate hurdle track, and the starting point is also different.

After practicing like this for more than a month, Sun Haixi found that Liu Xiang's training data was better than the same period in the past few years.

In the past few years, Liu Xiang has been with Sun Hailian. In the summer, he frequently went abroad to participate in various high-level international competitions and used competitions as training.

The advantage is that by competing against high-level players from various countries, even if there is no fixed training venue and the training is not so systematic, Liu Xiang can maintain a high level of competitive status. The disadvantage is that long-term and unscientific "training through competition" gradually caused irreversible functional losses to Liu Xiang's body.

But now the situation has finally changed.

After the two games in New York and Eugene, USA, Sun Haixi took Liu Xiang to Germany to find the "Bayern miracle doctor" Wall Fatt to seek treatment for his ankle injury.

During this period, he canceled the Golden League Norway Station, Paris Station and Lausanne Athletics Super Grand Prix, and underwent three weeks of careful treatment and care.

It wasn't until Wen Hao packed his bags and went to Rome to participate in the third Golden League that Liu Xiang finally returned to Paris to enter the training cycle of the World Championships and used the Sheffield Grand Prix as a test. Unfortunately, the weather conditions were too bad at the time and he was unable to get an effective training. Competition reference data.

However, in a telemetry test based on IAAF standards two days ago, Sun Haixi deliberately suppressed his apprentice's condition during the warm-up session, but Liu Xiang still easily ran an excellent time of 13 seconds.
"It's okay, Brother Xiang. I'm getting better and better at scratching the ground. Now it's hard for me to find fault."

When Liu Xiang finished his trip, Wen Hao couldn't help but praise him.

In fact, if we look at the standards of a 10-meter athlete, Liu Xiang's current ground-breaking skills are still far behind. If he simply ran a 30-meter shot, he could barely reach the -second mark.

However, as a 110-meter hurdles athlete, being able to run 10 meters in 3 seconds is already very good. After all, Liu Xiang has never practiced sprinting seriously since he came into contact with track and field.

In terms of flat running ability alone, Liu Xiang is still far behind the top runners in the United States who are good at both running and running. For example, Trammell's 10.21-meter PB this season is 1.3 (-), which is even in China. Enough to suppress Hu Kai's existence.

But this does not affect his own advantage - invincible rhythm between the hurdles.

Liu Xiang responded with a smile: "Don't praise me. My three-legged cat skills are far inferior to those of you."

"There are specialties in the arts. If I were asked to do hurdles, I wouldn't even be able to eat your exhaust."

After exchanging a few business words with Liu Xiang, Wen Hao called on the team members to move their positions and began to go to Li Qing's side to "take classes."

The two coaches of the relay team gradually formed a precise division of labor after becoming partners.

Just like now, the team members gathered around Li Qing one by one, listening to him analyze the shortcomings in his training and how to improve it.

When encountering something that you really can't understand, let Wen Hao give you a technical demonstration, and try your best to let the team members understand the mystery through a combination of theory and practice.

This is something the Chinese relay team has never seen before. All team members eat and live together, and even the training content remains the same, with only "quantity" differences.

In the past, China's sprinters were all about sitting in a well and looking at the sky. Although everyone had lofty dreams, they were restricted by their thoughts and could only guard their own little land in the country.

Athletes and coaches from various provinces and cities are wary of each other, fearing that others will learn skills that only they have mastered, and then threaten their status in the country.

But now, times have changed, and this backward thinking should also be eliminated.

After all, Wen Hao is now the world record holder. What's the point of a group of rookies who can't even run for 10 seconds guarding against this and that?

With the encouragement of Wen Hao, the leader, the team members are now thinking about breakthroughs, breakthroughs, and breakthroughs again!

They live in harmony in daily life, but compete with each other in training.

They all now have a common goal - to be the next person to break the 10-second barrier!
The evening of July 8.

After another hard day of training, the team members dragged their exhausted bodies back to their residences and prepared for dinner.

At the dinner table, everyone was chatting happily while eating. Li Qing, who couldn't sit still, heard two beeps from the computer in the corner of the living room. He immediately put down his bowls and chopsticks and went to check the situation.

After a while, Li Qing returned to the dining table and stopped eating, staring directly at Wen Hao.

"What? What's going on?" Wen Hao was stared at and was a little at a loss. He thought to himself that he was very peaceful after returning to Paris. He hadn't touched a woman for almost half a month.

Everyone at the dinner table was also attracted by Li Qing, and they stopped chatting to watch the fun.

When everyone looked at him, Li Qingcai chuckled: "Nothing, I just received news suddenly that Asafa Powell ran 9 seconds in Stockholm."

"what?"

"What the hell?"

"real or fake?"

The restaurant was filled with exclamations of surprise.

No wonder they were so surprised, because since Wen Hao broke the world record by running 9 seconds in the Golden League Rome Station, in the next half month, there has been no outstanding results in the world 76-meter event.

So far, in the world men's 2007m event in the 100 season, only 7 people have run within 10 seconds.

除了文浩、泰森·盖伊、阿萨法·鲍威尔之外，就是9秒93的沃尔特·迪克斯、9秒95的德里克·阿特金斯，以及9秒99的尤塞恩·博尔特、塞缪尔·弗朗西斯。

Samuel Francis became the second athlete in Asia to break 10. This happened at the Asian Championships in Oman on July 7, but the impact was relatively small.

Although Francis's nationality is Qatari, he was naturalized from Nigeria. People have long been surprised that West Africans have exceeded 10.

"9 seconds 83." After hearing the news, Wen Hao was in a daze for two seconds, and then asked: "What is the wind speed?"

"Headwind, but not big, only -0.3 meters m/s."

"-0.3"

Wen Hao fell into deep thought.

In his previous memory of the 2007 season, Wen Hao only remembered that Powell was beaten by Tyson Gay at the World Championships. He did not even win the runner-up and only won a bronze medal.

As a result, not long after the World Championships ended, he "came down to earth" at the Rieti Grand Prix in Italy. He easily ran 9 seconds in the preliminaries and set a new world record. Then, in less than an hour, he ran again under zero wind speed conditions in the finals. Out 74 seconds 9.

As for the current time, Wen Hao's memory of Asafa Powell is blank, and he doesn't know what it means for him to run 9 seconds at this time.

But no matter what, if you really believe the stereotype of Asafa Powell in his previous life, thinking that he is just a "big competition soft-footed shrimp", and then your mentality becomes arrogant, then the result will most likely be a clown.

What's more, just one Tyson Gay is enough to make him extremely vigilant, and in the future there will be a "big devil" who is powerful enough to suppress an era.
Thinking of this, Wen Hao couldn't help but smile: "9 seconds 83 is just 9 seconds 83. Even if he breaks the world record, I won't be afraid."

In terms of hard power alone, 9.83 (-0.3) is really not worse than his gun's 9.76 (+1.0).

But on the stage of the World Championships, can you, Asafa, still perform in such a perfect state?

What's more, I will continue to grow in the preparations for more than a month before the World Championships!

Let us compete at the Osaka World Championships!
Next battle - Osaka World Championships!
