Chapter 131: The Reverie of Three Consecutive Olympic Championships
Stars and Stripes Nation star Michael Johnson is the closest man on the Blue Star to break the three barriers, setting world records of 19.32 seconds in the 200m and 43.18 seconds in the 400m, but his best time in the 100m is only 10.09 seconds, never breaking the 10-second mark.

Even Michael Johnson, who has won nine Olympic gold medals, has not been able to do it, and everyone on the Blue Star feels that it is difficult for other athletes to break through all three hurdles at the same time.
Therefore, although Zhang Huasong's strength to break the national record in the first 400 meters is very admirable, the host and the audience are still skeptical about whether he can run into 44 seconds and compete for the gold medal in the Olympic Games!
If you don't have the strength to run 44 seconds in the 400 meters, it will be difficult to win a gold medal in the Olympics, let alone a gold medal, and even a bronze medal.
Just like if you can't break the 10-second mark in 100 seconds or the 200-meter run, it's hard to get a medal.
Zhang Huasong has already thought of an excuse for this problem.
Zhang Huasong told everyone that he was born in the countryside and helped his family with farm work since he was a child. Since I started high school, I basically got up every morning and insisted on running, basically more than three or five thousand meters, and my endurance was very good.
So, based on his speed and stamina, Zhang Huasong said that he must have no problem breaking the 44-second mark.
Of course, before Zhang Huasong became famous, the reporter found from his classmates that Zhang Huasong did get up early and jog in the morning every day, but there is no data on how good it is in terms of endurance, so it cannot be demonstrated.
Zhang Huasong said yes, then everyone can only think that he really has good stamina!
As soon as Zhang Huasong said this, everyone suddenly became excited.
Zhang Huasong is already the world record holder in the 100m, with a time of 9.73 seconds, and it should be no problem to break the 20-second mark in the 200m.
If Zhang Huasong can break the 44-second mark even in 400 meters, it will really create another miracle, which can be called the king of speed.
Everyone applauded and cheered Zhang Huasong on, hoping that he could create this miracle.
When asked about other events, Zhang Huasong said that he hadn't practiced yet, and he didn't know yet, but the long jump would definitely be counted as one.
Moreover, because of my good endurance for long-distance running, I may try the 10,000-meter and marathon myself.
Because the 10,000-meter and marathon runs do not have preliminaries and semi-finals, they are directly held in the finals, which is more time-saving and more in line with the needs of Zhang Huasong to participate in multiple competitions.
Everyone expressed their expectations.
Dragon TV's talk show was broadcast for 45 minutes, but everyone talked for about 1 hour, and then it will be edited and broadcast.
After the recording of the show and the removal of makeup, Zhang Huasong found an opportunity when no one paid attention to Liu Xiang and asked: "Liu Xiang, just now you said in the show that you are trying to change the eight-step upper column to the seven-step upper column?" ”
Liu Xiang said: "Well, what's wrong?" ”
Zhang Huasong didn't dare to speak in the tone of a sports expert, but said to Liu Xiang as a fellow athlete: "You have been practicing the eight-step upper hurdle for almost ten years, and now you are changing to the seven-step upper hurdle, don't you think it is contrary to your physical and technical habits?" ”
"In my experience of running, I think you should be cautious. If you rashly change the physical and technical movements you have become accustomed to, you are likely to get injured. If you are injured and you can't even participate in the competition, how can you talk about defending the champion? ”
If someone else came to persuade him, maybe Liu Xiang would scoff at it.
But Zhang Huasong is the 100-meter world record holder, and he is also the world flyer who stands at the top of the world sprinting field.
Moreover, if Liu Xiang hadn't made a historic breakthrough in the 110-meter hurdles, Zhang Huasong would have been the first flyer in China.
Therefore, Liu Xiang had to be cautious about what Zhang Huasong of the same rank said.
Liu Xiang frowned and said, "You also think that I shouldn't change to practice the seven-step upper bar?" ”
Zhang Huasong raised his eyebrows and asked, "Could it be that other people have said the same?" ”
Liu Xiang nodded and said, "The foreign sports medicine experts of the national team reminded us and advised us not to make this attempt. But if I don't practice the seven-step hurdle, I won't be able to secure a win over Robles and Oliver to defend the Olympic title. Therefore, everyone is more anxious and wants to use new technology to impact higher results. ”
Zhang Huasong said: "It is right to keep trying new technologies and hitting higher grades. But I just heard you say that you are going to compete in the Beiping Olympics with new technology, but now there is less than one year left, and I think the time is too short. “
"As a teammate of the international athletics team, I don't want to see you have an accident, I hope you must be cautious. If there is any discomfort during training, you should stop immediately. Even with your current strength, as long as you play well, you can still defeat those two and win the championship. Otherwise, how could the world record and the big board world championship champion be yours and not theirs? ”
"Even if you want to change to new techniques, you should try it gradually, slowly, so that the physical and technical reflexes developed by long-term training on the eight-step upper hurdle gradually adapt to the new technical movements. I think it's an ideal time to delay your official use of the seven-step bar until the 2012 London Olympics. ”
"The time for the Peking Olympics is too short, you are in such a hurry, the risk of injury is very great, I hope you must be cautious. You know what the Chinese people expect from you, if you are injured and can't even participate in the game, I don't know how many fans will be sad, or even turn love to hate, and it is possible to scold you. ”
After listening to Zhang Huasong's words, Liu Xiang was immediately touched!
In fact, as the first athlete in China to reach the top of the world in sprinting, Liu Xiang is indeed burdened with the expectations and pressures of too many Chinese people.
Not only the expectations of fans and ordinary people, but also the pressure of various businesses.
He is now burdened with hundreds of millions of endorsement contracts, if he can't defend the championship at the Peking Olympics, Liu Xiang can't imagine what blame he will receive!
That's why he and his coaching team are looking forward to the seven-step hurdles and want to defend their title with this new technique.
However, at this time, Zhang Huasong's words seemed to give Liu Xiang a slap in the face, which made him sober up.
Indeed, as Zhang Huasong said, he was actually quite uncomfortable when he tried to go up the hurdle with seven steps in training, and he had already fallen and injured himself. It's just that the injury is not serious, and the outside world doesn't know about it.
But if you continue to train so forcibly and want to use it in time for the Beiping Olympics, then I am afraid that injuries will become commonplace in the future.
If the injury is not healed during the Peking Olympics, and the field cannot be played, it will be a disaster!
If you go to the game and lose, you can say that you are unlucky, your strength is not good, your opponent is playing extraordinarily, and so on!
But if he can't even play, it may really make the Chinese people and fans who are waiting to watch his game explode!
That's not just disappointment, blame, and blame, I'm afraid it's really as Zhang Huasong said, I'm going to scold!
Zhang Huasong is right, his current strength is not bad. Otherwise, you won't be able to set a world record and win the World Championships!
As long as you play well, there is a high probability that the Beiping Olympics will defend the champion.
But if you practice new techniques and injure yourself, and you can't even participate in the competition, then the probability is zero!
Liu Xiang seemed to have walked out of the fog, and his eyes suddenly opened up.
He decided that he would have a good talk with his coach when he went back, postpone the time for the competition with new technology, and no longer force training with new technology as the goal of the Beiping Olympics.
If the time is slowed down to the London Olympics in five years, there will be plenty of time for Liu Xiang to train and adapt to the new technology, and it will not disrupt the preparations for the Beiping Olympics.
It's exciting to think about defending the title at the Beiping Olympics with the current strength, and then going on to defend the title at the London Olympics with new technology five years later, and achieving three consecutive Olympic titles in the 110m hurdles.
Liu Xiangyong hugged Zhang Huasong excitedly and thanked him.
Then, several leaders of Dragon TV came over, and the two separated and went to dinner with the leaders of the TV station.
