Chapter 736: Injuries
On August 20, the schedule of this World Championships entered the sixth day.
There will be two finals tonight that will attract the attention of the world. This is the final of the men's 110m hurdles and the final of the men's 200m sprint.
In the final of the 110-meter hurdles, the showdown between Cuban teenager Robles and Liu Feifei, who has just made a comeback this year, will greatly attract everyone's attention.
One is the uncrowned king of the new generation, a double Olympic and World Champion champions, and both are the only two top masters other than Guo Zizhao who have the ability to run under 12.90 seconds. Therefore, this duel between the two is also a pinnacle battle at this year's World Championships!
It's just that it makes people feel a little regretful that Liu Feifei has just come back from a serious injury, judging from the results of the preliminaries and rematches, Liu Feifei did not run out of the indomitable momentum in the past. As for Robles, he just experienced a thigh muscle strain a month ago, and it is unknown what kind of results he can run this time!
As for the men's 200m final, everyone's focus is, of course, Guo Zizhao!
Whether Guo Zizhao can also break the human limit of 18.83 seconds in this event is also a question that the whole world wants to know. Of course, in addition to Guo Zizhao, the re-competition between the two old rivals, Bolt and Guy, is also a place that attracts everyone's attention.
However, before the two feasts began, everyone enjoyed an appetizer, which was the semi-finals of the men's 110m hurdles.
The reason why it is called an hors d'oeuvres is because the results of these two semi-finals were not unexpected before the game, and several masters successfully advanced to the final two hours later. At the same time, the results of these two groups of semi-finals are not high, everyone is controlled at about 13.20 seconds, and they all have the physical strength to impact the finals.
However, after the players who made the cut entered the athletes' lounge and began their rest and preparations, Robles's face began to look a little solemn.
……
"What's wrong? Is something wrong? Coach Antunes also noticed the strangeness of his disciple, and quietly blocked the sight of other players while quietly asking.
"Hmm...... After running down in the semi-finals just now, I feel that the injury in my thigh seems to be getting a little worse again! Robles also frowned depressedly, and then said a little worriedly.
"Shhh...... What the? Coach Antunes was startled and almost screamed out loud. However, Coach Antunes also reacted quickly, and quickly lowered his voice and asked, "What's going on?" How does it feel? If you don't feel well, let's go to the infirmary for a check-up now! ”
"Don't be so nervous!" Although Robles was also a little worried, he still shook his head, "I didn't feel anything particularly serious, but I felt a little spasm on the way back just now." Well...... Massage and relax for a while, maybe you'll be fine! ”
"Just spasms? Is there really no other feeling? Soreness? Numbness? And the sting? Coach Antunes also asked with a serious look, "Your injury has not fully recovered, don't be careless?" ”
"Hmm...... Rest assured, it's okay now! I knew in my heart that I would have a good massage and relax, and there should be no problem running in the finals! Robles also pretended to be relaxed and said, in fact, the real situation is only clear to Robles himself.
How could it be just a spasm? In addition to the spasms, the symptoms that Coach Antunes just mentioned are all there!
Robles is not a rookie who has just started his professional training, and according to what he just felt, there must be a precursor to another recurrence of the muscle strain. But can you tell Coach Antunes?
Originally, Coach Antunes didn't want to participate with an injury this time, but if he knew his true injury now, he would definitely retire from the game!
……
Retirement? …… I'm really unwilling!
Robles also silently thought that he was about to turn 23 years old this year, and his talent was no worse than anyone else, although everyone said that his future was limitless, and after Guo Zizhao retired, he would definitely be able to dominate the 110-meter hurdles event in international athletics. But I can't wait......
When Guo Zizhao was 21 years old, he won 4 gold medals in a row at the Sydney Olympics! When Liu Feifei was 21 years old, he also won the championship of the Athens Olympics. But what about yourself? Osaka World Championships fiasco! Runner-up in the Beijing Olympics!
Everyone says that he is the uncrowned king of the younger generation, but he doesn't want to be the uncrowned king at all, he just wants to win a top competition!
What a great opportunity this is! Liu Feifei has just made a comeback, and according to his observations in the past two days, Liu Feifei is not in the best state at all! Abdoulaye has retired due to injury again, and if he doesn't take this opportunity, the next World Championships will be two years away. By then, I'll be almost 25 years old? Even if you win the championship, can you still be called a young generation?
Besides, in two years, who knows if you can still be at the peak of what you are now!
Therefore, Robles also decided to hide his injury for the time being. Just this once! Wait for the final to be over in two hours, and you will be the new world champion! Hum...... Although the muscle strain this time is severe, I still know it in my heart, and under normal circumstances, I still have an 80% chance of being able to persevere! With such high odds, it's worth the gamble......
But what Robles didn't expect was that if he still used the eight-step upper bar, it was really possible to stick to it, but now that he has changed to the seven-step upper bar, then this chance can only be hehe......
……
Just when Robles swore to Coach Antunes that he would have no problem at all, several other top masters were also thinking to themselves in different ways.
Liu Feifei also had a serious face, alas...... I thought that coming to the World Championships would improve my performance, but I didn't expect that my time was still hovering around 13.15 seconds. Although he is also excited to be on the stage of the top international competition again, his mental excitement cannot improve his strength.
Especially after the serious injury this time, when Liu Feifei sprinted in the second half of the race, he had a feeling that he couldn't make it out. And after participating in the preliminaries and semi-finals this time, I actually felt a little tired and a little slow!
Are you old? I'm only 26 years old this year, and I'm still at my peak!
Liu Feifei didn't know that this feeling now was a manifestation of the decline in his "physique". With his current "physique" attributes, he is no longer enough to support himself to soar out of the dangerous speed he used to have.
Thinking of this, Liu Feifei couldn't help but glance at his teammate Shi Dongpeng, who was still not far away.
Dashi has made great progress now! Not only is the performance stable, but also the seven-step upper hurdle technique, if this continues, his position in the second place in the national team may not be guaranteed! Well...... Let's see, if you still can't make a breakthrough in this final, then you will have to make changes after you go back......
At this time, Shi Dongpeng, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, also didn't notice Liu Feifei's gaze at all, and while recovering his strength, he was constantly simulating his seven-step bar technique in his mind.
Tut-tut...... Brother Guo is right, this seven-step upper bar technique has really high requirements for physical fitness! Not only should the seven-step acceleration before the bar be controlled, but the rhythm after the bar is also quite different from before, if you are a little worse in strength, technique and control ability, you will not be able to achieve the effect of improving your performance!
Well...... Think about it yourself and try to play it in one go when you are in the finals!
And the American player David. Oliver rested as he glanced slyly at several of his other competitors.
Hey...... Robles, a stunned guy, how can the seven-step bar technique be so simple to practice! In the first half of this year, after being provoked by himself, Robles actually tried his best to prove his seven-step up-and-ring skills. Now it's hurt......
Although Robles pretended to be like no one, how could he escape the eyes of a caring person! I clearly remember that Guo Zizhao once said that if you want to practice the seven-step bar, you have to take it slowly, and you can't succeed if you don't spend more than half a year on the water grinding effort!
Hum...... This time, if Robles is really injured, it will be the best time for him to win the championship! There's no better chance than this! As for the seven-step upper bar technique, hehe...... There won't be any big events next year, so can't you just practice slowly by yourself......
