Chapter 682: Blade Warrior
Sun Shiner's games on the second day were more up.
The most watched race on the morning of the second day was Liu Feiren's men's 110-meter hurdles preliminaries.
Whether Liu Feiren, who has returned from injury, has recovered to his best condition depends on this preliminaries.
When Liu Feiren appeared, he received a lot of applause.
Today, Liu Feiren lined up in five lanes, and he was flanked by the last World Championships champion, Barbados's Braswaite, and the European Championships champion Briton Turner.
So Liu Feiren's pressure is still a little big, Liu Feiren wears a traditional Chinese red team uniform to play, although on the surface he is very relaxed, but in fact, there is no particularly funny expression on his face, and the pressure is still there.
At the beginning of the game, after the gun, eight people set off smoothly, Liu Feiren who took seven steps on the hurdle was slightly ahead when he crossed the first hurdle, and after the three hurdles, he could slightly follow Liu Feiren, only the British Turner, after running on the way, Liu Feiren's steps were lighter and faster, he continued to open the distance between him and other opponents, after the tenth hurdle, Liu Feiren deliberately slowed down the speed for the next game, and the last few meters were almost strides.
In the end, Liu Feiren ranked first in the group with a time of 13.20 seconds, and entered the semi-finals with a very good result, and Turner ranked second in the group with 13.32 seconds.
Germany's Mahizek was third in 13.53 seconds.
The top three finishers in the group will advance to the semi-finals.
Defending champion Brathwaite in the same group clocked only 13.57 seconds and was eliminated early.
Based on the results of several groups, Liu Feiren's group stage results ranked second among all the players, only 0.01 second slower than the first American player Richardson.
This shows that Liu Feiren's condition is very good, at least he has been able to return to his level in previous years.
Sun Shiner also has a competition in the morning, that is, the men's 400m preliminaries.
After Liu Feiren came down, Sun Shine still went up to congratulate Liu Feiren.
"Brother Liu, you're doing well." Sun Shine gave Liu Feiren a thumbs up.
"Okay." Liu Feiren didn't look very tired, and he still had no problem in the group stage.
"Do you have a match today?" Liu Feiren glanced at Sun Shiner.
"400 meters." Sun Shine nodded.
"Oh, then you might meet that person." Liu Feiren pointed to a person not far away.
This is a rather strange man, because he has no legs, to be exact, the back half of his legs, below the knees, which are actually prosthetics.
Sun Shine instantly knew who this person was.
"Pistorius." Sun Shine said the name of this person in one word.
"You know him, too?" Liu Feiren was a little surprised.
"Of course, South African track and field athletes, nicknamed Blade Warriors." Sun Shine was very impressed by this Pistorius.
What does this man say? Pistorius is a man of considerable perseverance, he is a world record holder in the 100m, 200m and 400m for people with disabilities, and has the fastest legless man in the world.
His spirit also touched many people, and even in order to be able to participate in the competition like normal people, Pistorius struggled for a long time and finally succeeded.
Pistorius can stand on the stage of the World Championships, which means that he can compete like a normal person.
It's just that in 2013, Pistorius instantly became the target of thousands of scolding because of the shooting of his girlfriend, and Sun Shine has no good impression of this person.
"This is a strong man." Liu Feiren also admires this guy very much.
"Maybe he's not a good guy." Sun Shine knew that Pistorius had not yet revealed his true nature, so everyone respected him very much.
"How do you say that?" Liu Feiren was a little puzzled.
"It's nothing, I just think that he is a disabled person after all, and he still has a little advantage compared to us." Sun Shine did not say anything about Pistorius's character, but started with other aspects of him.
"What do you mean by that? He is all disabled, how can he have an advantage over us? Liu Feiren didn't quite understand what Sun Shine meant.
"If you look at his prosthetic limbs, they are very different from our normal calves, and because he doesn't have legs, Pistorius' muscles produce less lactic acid during the run than normal runners, so he doesn't get tired easily, we are both faster in the first 200 meters, and the last 200 meters are slowed down due to fatigue, but Pistorius is just the opposite, his speed in the last 200 meters is almost unmatched." Sun Shi Ne brought out some of the experts' reasons against Pistorius' participation in the competition.
"I'm going, so powerful?" Liu Feiren really didn't know that there were so many ways in this.
"Of course, his spirit does deserve our praise." Sun Shine still affirmed Pistorius.
No matter what Sun Shi Ne says, Pistorius is still destined to participate in this match.
As soon as Pistorius appeared, it attracted a lot of cheers, after all, as a participating athlete, it is not easy to stand on this stage.
He was placed in lane 8 of five groups, and although he did not dominate the number of passes, it did not affect Pistorius's performance in the slightest, and he maintained his pace throughout the race, maintaining his top three position in the final 100 meters, and finally Pistorius finished third in his group in 45.39 seconds to reach the semi-finals.
Sun was placed in the last group, and there were no players in this group who were Sun Shine's opponents.
At the beginning of the race, Sun Shine rushed to the front, and before the first corner was over, Sun Shine was already ahead of the other players.
The straights were Sun's strong point, and Sun Shine accelerated on the straights, throwing the fighters behind him far away, and his lead expanded.
In the final 200 meters, Sun Shine did not let his guard down, although he was now far ahead.
Earlier, Sun Shine said that the last 200 meters of Pistorius were almost unmatched, so why use almost? Because there is still someone who can reach it, and that is him Sun Shine himself.
It's just that Sun Shine won't show it now, after all, this is only the group stage, not the final final, and there is no need to show all his strength.
In the end, Sun Shiner won the first place in the group with a time of 44.25 seconds, which is also the last result in the entire group competition, and even in the world, it is second to none.
Merritt of the United States was second in the heats in 44.35 seconds, and although he was only 0.10 seconds slower than Sun, he could only settle for second.
Sun Shiner reached the semifinals of the men's 100m and men's 400m two days ago, which is enough to show that his form is still quite good!
