Sprint: This champion is a bit weird

Chapter 54 A sudden reminder during the day

Youth is over again, and the day is rushing towards me.

Time flies, and it’s June in the blink of an eye.

A lot of things happened during this time.

On May 5, at the Athletics Super Grand Prix in Doha, the capital of Qatar, Athens Olympic champion and Helsinki World Championship champion Justin Gatlin set a new 12-meter world record with a time of 9 seconds.

For a time, the attention of track and field enthusiasts around the world was focused on Qatar, a small and extremely wealthy country in the Middle East.

去年6月14日的雅典超级大奖赛上，阿萨法·鲍威尔便跑出过9秒77的成绩，打破了由莫里斯·格林所保持的9秒79世界纪录。

Regrettably, on the eve of the World Championships in Helsinki, Asafa Powell announced his retirement due to injury. In the end, the World Championships became Justin Gatlin's show, winning three gold medals.

After the arrival of the 2006 season, track and field enthusiasts all over the world are looking forward to better performances from these two famous sprinters, and are looking forward to a "king versus king" showdown.

Now it seems that Justin Gatlin is the first to come out on top.

World record, Olympic gold medal, World Championship gold medal, three honors in one, Justin Gatlin's status seems to be unshakable.

But soon, a dramatic scene happened.

On May 5, the IAAF issued a statement stating that the world record of 17 seconds set by Justin Gatlin was invalid.

The authoritative data chart released by the IAAF shows that Justin Gatlin's actual crossing the line time was 9.766 seconds. According to the IAAF's competition performance rules, the thousandth place score uniformly adopts the principle of "non-zero to one".

Therefore, the world 9-meter record is still 77 seconds, jointly held by Asafa Powell and Justin Gatlin.

The difference between breaking a world record and tying a world record definitely brings different feelings to people.

Even if the numerical performance difference is only 0.01, people will subconsciously think:
  Oh, it turns out he didn’t break the world record, so Powell still has a chance. The new season has just begun anyway!

Therefore, after a short period of disappointment, Asafa Powell was placed high hopes by track and field fans around the world.

Asafa Powell did not disappoint the track and field fans who supported him in 2006.

On June 6, at the Gateshead Track and Field Grand Prix in the UK, with a tailwind of 11m/s, Asafa Powell once again ran 1.5 seconds to tie the world record!

For a time, track and field fans around the world began to celebrate, not only because he once again ran amazing results, but also because his appearance broke the American monopoly on the men's 100-meter event.

The world has been miserable and beautiful for a long time!

The rivalry between Gatlin and Powell influenced many track and field people and sprinters, but Wen Hao was not among them.

Because he knows very well that in two months, the once-famous Justin Gatlin will usher in a time full of controversy and even be cast aside by the world.

Compared to the outside world, he still focuses more on himself.

As the college entrance examination approaches, the stamina of "Chasing Dreams" becomes even stronger.

However, until the end of the college entrance examination, "Chasing Dreams" failed to defeat "Invisible Wings" and was always beaten, ranking second.

A large part of the reason for this is that Wenhao has never performed a public concert or conducted any public social activities from beginning to end. There is no such person.

As for Angela Chang, under the vigorous promotion of Fumao Records, various commercial performances and social activities continued, and she appeared in the public eye.

Under such circumstances, the fact that "Chasing Dreams" can compete with "Invisible Wings" has actually exceeded Wen Hao's expectations.

After all, the song "Invisible Wings" was the top divine song ranked in the TOP2000 during the golden decade of the Chinese music scene from 2010 to 1 in its previous life!

EMI Records is busy with music matters. The two parties have already discussed what development route to take, so neither Wenhao nor EMI are in a hurry.

If "Chasing Dreams" can take it to the next level, it still needs to wait for an opportunity.

The situation in the international arena is changing, and in the domestic arena, players from all walks of life have also started their 2006 seasons.

There are a total of six National Track and Field Grand Prix stations in Chongqing, Zhaoqing and Taizhou, each of which can attract countless domestic track and field athletes to participate.

During this period, domestic track and field fans were very much looking forward to seeing Wen Hao on the field again, but unfortunately, after one stop after another, they were unable to do so.

In mid-April, Zhang Peimeng, who had been admitted to Yanjing Sports University, went to North America to participate in several international youth track and field events under Li Qing's arrangement. The final results were good. Zhang Peimeng set new personal best results in both the 100-meter and 200-meter events.

100米从10秒53提升到了10秒42，

200米从21秒10提升到了20秒91。

While taking Zhang Peimeng to participate in the competition, Li Qing also visited several top American track and field coaches and biomechanics experts to continue to enrich and improve his own training theory.

After returning to China at the end of April, Li Qing quickly made subtle improvements to Wen Hao's training content, striving to achieve the best results.

It is precisely because of this that Wenhao, who originally planned to end training in May and start training through competitions, could only temporarily put aside his original schedule and continue to hone his special skills on the training ground.

Not only domestic track and field fans, but also himself are looking forward to it.

After such a long training period, to what extent can his strength be improved?
  Saturday, April 6.

In the evening, Wen Hao drove Hu Kai's car and parked it downstairs in the building where the New Silk Road Model Agency was located.

It's very easy to get a driver's license these days. After becoming an adult in May, Wen Hao quickly got the driver's license. He just didn't buy a car yet, so he had fun driving Hu Kai's car.

Not long after, a graceful and graceful beauty with long legs appeared in his field of vision.

Wen Hao pushed open the passenger door and waved to Zhang Sisterlin. The beautiful lady Zhang immediately smiled and trotted over with her long legs.

Her outfit today was very simple.

Her medium-long hair is evenly divided on both sides, revealing her smooth forehead and wrapping the soft curves of her oval face.

Wearing a denim jacket on the upper body, lined with a simple white short-sleeved shirt, a pair of pure black jeans on the lower body, a pair of white sneakers on the feet, and a small black bag on the shoulder, the main thing is that she is young and beautiful.

Compared to her seemingly "high-end" and "fashionable" looks in magazines, Wen Hao actually prefers the simple and elegant outfits and looks she wears in life.

"Didn't you wait long?"

Zhang Jielin opened the passenger door and said hello first, but the next second she slammed the door and rushed to the back seat.

Wen Hao smiled helplessly and looked in the rearview mirror. Beauty Zhang had already hugged YOYO in her arms and kissed her warmly.

"YOYO is so good, you are here waiting for your mother, right? Give me a kiss, Mua~!"

Humans are inferior to dogs.

After Zhang Jielin and her pet dog made out for a while, Wen Hao said, "It's time to go, Jielin. First, send YOYO to your uncle and aunt, and then we can find a place to eat. How about it?"

Zhang Sisterlin frowned slightly when she heard Wen Hao's words.

"How about taking YOYO to dinner first, and then"

"Okay, it's up to you." Wen Hao nodded and started the car.

Zhang Sisterlin gently hugged YOYO in the back seat and whispered softly: "YOYO, when you get to your grandparents' house, you must be obedient. Mom will take you back soon, you know?"

Wen Hao drove silently in front, while Zhang Jielin said goodbye to YOYO in the back seat.

It seemed that he was saying goodbye to YOYO, but Wen Hao knew very well that those words were meant for him.

In three days, Wen Hao will have his first outdoor game of the 2006 season, and he will board a flight to Zhengzhou early tomorrow morning.

And Zhang Sisterin will not be idle. She has officially graduated from Yanjing University of Science and Technology, received a bachelor's degree in management, and has now become a full-time model.

At the beginning of next month, she will fly to Paris to participate in the Armani autumn and winter haute couture show, taking the first step to become an internationally renowned model.

For a long time to come, they will have to travel around for their respective career dreams, and it will be difficult for them to find time to meet each other despite their busy schedules.

I don’t know what it will be like when we meet again.
