Chapter 324: "Three Out of Eight"
That's right, Feng Quan's time of 4:25.18 (777 points) is indeed inferior to Ashton-Eaton. www.biquge.info However, in the previous nine competitions, Feng Quan has established a 77-point advantage over the American.
Therefore, Feng Quan, who also ran a personal best in the 1500m event, still won the decathlon championship at the World Championships with a total score of 9183 points. At the same time, it also improved the world record set by Ashton-Eaton a year ago by as much as 144 points.
In fact, if it weren't for the Bundesliga that he played for more than half a season, Fengquan's training in track and field events was very unsystematic, resulting in a certain "regression" in jumping and hurdles compared with last year's London Olympics. Otherwise, Feng Quan may even raise the world record in the decathlon to such an extremely terrifying height as 9,300 points.
Shortly after the wind crossed the finish line, Damian Werner, who finished sixth at last year's London Olympics, also sealed third place in the group with a time of 4:29.69 (747).
After the first nine races, Zhao Feng, who was temporarily in third place, was only two points ahead of Damian Werner. So, if the Canadian can beat Zhao Feng by 0.5 seconds in the 1500m, he can overtake his rival in the final minute and finish on the podium for the first time in the World Championships.
In fact, there was no suspense about Damian Werner's final podium. After all, when the Canadian crossed the finish line, Zhao Feng, who competed with him for third place, had not yet entered the final straight stage.
It wasn't until 18 seconds later, after the top eight athletes in the group crossed the finish line, that Zhao Feng, who finished ninth, crossed the finish line with a time of 4:38.49 (690 points).
………………
Shaking his head with a wry smile, Ashton-Eaton, who crossed the finish line first, still barely squeezed out a smile on his face, and came to the front of the wind that crossed the finish line immediately after him.
"Congratulations, Wind." Ashton-Eaton stretched out his right hand to the wind with a sincere face. "This time, you've beaten me at my best. So, I was convinced. ”
Originally, because Ashton Eaton and his coach had made remarks that "you can easily defeat yourself" in an interview with the media before the start of the game, and Feng Quan, who was unhappy, was ready to "humiliate" the opponent after defeating the opponent.
However, when Feng Quan saw Ashton-Eaton's sincere congratulations to him, he could no longer bring up the idea of "humiliating" the other party.
"Hehe, you're welcome." Echoing a friendly smile at the other side, Feng Quan continued: "Thank you very much for being able to keep me under pressure throughout the game. Otherwise, with the state of competition I am now, it will be difficult to break the world record in the decathlon. ”
If Feng Quan's words were said to Chinese athletes, it is estimated that the other party's nose would be crooked. "Not all the best competitive conditions can break the world record, so if you are at the best of times, you can't go to the sky?"
However, the relatively simple Yankees took Feng Quan's words as encouragement to themselves.
"Thank you for the compliment, Wind." After hearing Feng Quan's "praise", the smile on Ashton-Eaton's face turned out to be a little more "natural". "Although you broke my world record today, it doesn't mean that I have been completely defeated by you. In the future, I will definitely train harder, and I will definitely beat you in the next battle! ”
"Hehe, waiting for your challenge at any time." Feng Quan said confidently.
Hearing this, Ashton-Eaton just wanted to say something more, but the other two Chinese athletes, Qi Haifeng and Zhao Feng, who had just crossed the finish line, forcibly pulled the wind aside. Immediately afterwards, a large group of reporters from various countries surrounded the three Chinese athletes.
Looking at Feng Quan, who was facing away from him, Ashton-Eaton's heart couldn't help but sigh: I haven't been able to defeat him with 9153 points, will I really have a chance in the future?
………………
Despite breaking the world record, winning the men's decathlon title is a very happy thing for the Chinese people. However, no matter how powerful Feng Quan is, he can only represent himself.
Only the improvement of the overall level of China's track and field will make tens of thousands of people who love track and field across the country really feel excited.
In this decathlon competition, Zhao Feng, who also performed well, also won the fourth place with a total score of 8511 points. Moreover, if Zhao Feng had not been for the fact that the 1500m was his weakest event, Zhao Feng, who had been in third place at the end of the first nine events, even had a chance to create the feat of the decathlon podium with Feng Quan, with two Chinese.
Missed the opportunity to get on the podium at the last moment, although Zhao Feng was a little regretful. But for him to participate in the World Series for the first time, the fourth place is enough for him to be proud and proud.
Not only that, Qi Haifeng, who is past his age, although his physical ability has decreased because of age. But in this competition, he went all out, and also won the 7th place in this competition with a total score of 8352.
Although it is a bit "regressive" compared with the fourth place in the London Olympics last year, considering that Qi Haifeng is a year older, and because of injuries at the beginning of the year, he was unable to train systematically for nearly two months. Such an achievement is also acceptable.
After a brief interview with reporters from all over the world, the three Feng Quanshi brothers rushed out of the crowd and came to the stands where Chinese athletes and spectators gathered.
After receiving a huge five-star red flag thrown down by a teammate, the three brothers and sisters held the national flag high together and began to celebrate around the track.
Looking at the three disciples in the track, Yue Wenjun, who is usually resolute and calm, couldn't help but have tears of excitement in his eyes.
That's right! At last year's London Olympics, Feng Quan and Qi Haifeng won the championship and fourth place respectively. But after that competition, the international athletics community's evaluation of Chinese athletes in this event was not very high.
Most of the international authoritative sports media believe that the reason why Ashton Eaton lost to Feng Quan is mainly because of the lack of enough attention to this fledgling young player. At the same time, his competitive form in London is not very ideal.
Therefore, before the start of the World Championships in Moscow, the vast majority of well-known foreign sports media believed that Ashton-Eaton would easily defeat Fengquan in this competition.
Unfortunately, to the disappointment of these foreign media, Ashton-Eaton couldn't help but fail to defeat Feng Quan, and his two senior brothers also played very well, thus ranking among the top eight together.
Although the overall level of China's track and field is still unable to reach a certain gap with top powers such as the United States and Russia for the time being. However, the excellent results of the three brothers of Feng Quanshi and the top eight in the decathlon at the World Championships in Moscow at the same time are enough to prove that China's all-round athletes have ranked among the world's most advanced levels.
After all, Chinese account for three-eighths of the top eight......
