Chapter 487: I, Guo Zizhao, are back again
Tyson. Gay, Wallace. Spearmon, these two rookie athletes can be said to be the biggest surprise in the men's sprint event in the international field world in the first half of this year.
In the men's 200m, Spearmon ran under 20 seconds twice. The time of 19.91 seconds is also the best time of the year in this event. And at the just-concluded U.S. Track and Field Championships, Spearmon also successfully won the ticket to the World Championships with a second place.
And Tyson. Guy is even more powerful, not only in the men's 100-meter sprint, he has a stable performance of less than 10 seconds, but also runs 9.84 seconds, which is currently the second best time of the year. In the 200-meter sprint, Guy's best time of 19.93 seconds is also second only to Spearmon.
The outstanding performance in the past two months has also made Tyson. Guy, like Gatlin, successfully qualified for the World Championships in both events.
As for Gatlin, the leader of the new generation of sprinting in the United States, he also lived up to expectations in these two months of competition. In the men's 100-meter race, he equalized Powell's best time of 9.77 seconds this year.
In the 200-meter sprint event, Gatlin also ran a full 20-second time at the World Championships trials and won the championship. There are also two tickets to the World Championships in hand.
The old flyers Green, Crawford, Payton and Capel did not play well due to injuries or other reasons, and they were completely stolen from the limelight by these young people, and they were a complete failure in the individual event!
……
And what shocked the media from all over the world was not only the results of these people, but also Tyson. The identities of Guy and Spearmon.
You know, they are all newcomers invited to Guo Zizhao's international training camp last year!
It's only been half a year! At the media conference at the training camp, two of the three runners who were still quite immature have already stood out and become the top international sprinters in one fell swoop!
I'll go...... That's too fast, isn't it? What kind of magic does Guo Zizhao's top master training camp have?
From last year's Doucoure and Shi Stonepeng, to this year's Guy and Spearmon, the efficiency of Guo Zizhao's training camp in discovering top talents is really amazing!
As for the other of the three last year, Jamaican player Usain Bolt, it is said that the first half of the year was mainly focused on recovery training, and will not start to enter the international arena until next month. When the time comes, what kind of performance Bolt will have, everyone is also very interested!
Although Bolt is the youngest of the three, he was originally the most famous, not only running 19.93 seconds, but also competing in the Athens Olympics. Therefore, everyone is also full of expectations for this young man's performance this year.
……
In addition to the men's 100m and 200m events, the competition in the 110m hurdles is also quite fierce.
After the defeat of Athens, the Frenchman Doucoure also tried his best to improve his hurdling skills after half a year.
After making a comeback to the international arena in mid-June, Abdoulaye won the Athens Grand Prix comfortably in 13.08 seconds, not only with a consistent performance, but also with a significant improvement in technique. At least, the "big horse monkey" starting posture that Guo Zizhao is quite criticized for is no longer visible.
In addition to Doucoure, Alain Ahmed, who also surprised at the Athens Olympics. Johnson also started his strong performance this year.
At the Eugene Grand Prix in early June and the Reebok Grand Prix in New York a week later, Johnson easily won two titles, with a time of 13.10 and 13.03 seconds, respectively, showing his excellent competitive form.
At the just-concluded U.S. Championships and World Championships trials, Johnson once again crossed the threshold of 13 seconds, and showed people that he is still the top master in this event with a time of 12.99 seconds!
In addition to this, another American veteran, Dominic . Arnold's rise also gave the Americans a big surprise.
The 31-year-old Arnold was once one of the top hurdlers in the United States, and at one point squeezed into the top five in the world around 2000. However, due to injuries, the veteran has never had the opportunity to prove himself at the top international level.
However, this year, the veteran gave everyone a big surprise in three matches in June. In 13.16 seconds, 13.05 seconds, 13.01 seconds, Alexander-Arnold not only continued to refresh his personal bests, but also followed Alan in every race. Johnson then won three consecutive runner-up finishes. Together with Johnson and Trammell, they won the ticket to this year's World Championships in Athletics.
……
Also, David. Oliver and Shi Tongpeng, two young people, also performed well in the international competition in the past two months. Oliver ran a personal best of 13.20 seconds at the trials, but unfortunately only finished fifth and failed to qualify for the World Championships.
In the international competitions in the past two months, Shi Dongpeng's performance was also relatively stable, and his results were basically controlled between 13.25~13.35 seconds.
As for the new Olympic champion Liu Feifei, like Guo Zizhao, he did not begin to prepare for the international arena until the end of June. It's not that Liu Feifei wants to play a big name, and there are too many activities arranged by the Athletics Management Center!
Since Director Luo Yichao was ready to push Liu Feifei, in the past six months, Liu Feifei's various media meetings, commendation meetings and commercial endorsement activities have not been interrupted, and the two of them are also painful and happy.
When I wasn't famous, I dreamed of winning an Olympic gold medal and becoming a world-famous sports star. Now I finally got my wish, but it also made the two of them tired! Especially the training plan for this year's World Championships was fragmented by various activities, which made the two also feel depressed.
However, the only thing that makes everyone happy is that with the efforts of the Athletics Management Center and the Modu Sports Bureau, Liu Feifei's total advertising endorsement amount has also successfully exceeded 50 million, becoming the athlete with the strongest ability to attract gold in track and field events of the national team after Guo Zizhao.
Liu Feifei is different from Guo Zizhao! This is an athlete in the system!
Hey...... In this way, according to the regulations on the distribution of commercial income of athletes within the system, more than half of the income will go to the General Administration, the Athletics Management Center and the local teams. No wonder everyone is happy......
……
However, since they are out of the mountain, it is time for these people's performances to come to an end!
Guo Zizhao was also a little unhappy to think that his cousin's due date was in early July, but because the first stop of this year's Athletics Golden League was held in Paris on July 1, Guo Zizhao and others had to miss it perfectly.
In addition to leaving Song Guowei at home to accompany his wife who was waiting to give birth, Guo Zizhao, Dad, Song Ping, Brother Dong, and Zhang Hua, the newly recruited team doctor at the beginning of the year, a group of 5 people began to enter this year's European arena again.
Since there are two events in the men's 100m and 110m hurdles at this year's track and field Golden League, Guo Zizhao is still ready to let these two events participate in the Golden League, and the 200m and 400m events will be placed in the Grand Prix.
At the end of June, at the Madrid Track and Field Grand Prix, Guo Zizhao won the men's 200-meter dash championship with a time of 19.50 seconds, announcing to the international athletics world that his "king of speed" officially opened this year's schedule!
On July 1, in the first stop of the Golden League in Paris, Guo Zizhao also beat Powell with a time of 9.77 seconds in 100 meters. As if to tell everyone, the time of 9.77 seconds is not a big deal.
In the 110m hurdles final an hour later, Guo Zizhao also easily achieved a time of 12.91 seconds, leaving Doucoure's 13.02 seconds and Johnson's 13.04 seconds without any value to show off.
On July 8, the second leg of the Golden League, Rome, began. Guo Zizhao once again gave the excited Gatlin and Guy a slap in the face with the same 9.77 seconds. Gatling's 9.96 seconds and Guy's 9.99 seconds are simply not enough to see in front of Guo Zizhao!
Hehe...... 9.77 seconds, this personal best that you are proud of, is just Lao Tzu's usual level!
In the subsequent men's 110-meter hurdles final, Guo Zizhao used a time of 12.90 seconds, which also taught Liu Feifei and Doucoure a small lesson.
It only took three races, and the major sports media couldn't help but exclaim, the invincible "horror king" Guo Zizhao is about to start wreaking havoc on the international athletics world again......
