Chapter 930: Van Niekerk's Ambition
Yi Jing and Zeng Jianhua's performance did not disappoint Guo Zizhao.
With the blessing of Guo Zizhao's equipment, Yi Jing once again soared to the international top score within 13 seconds in the final, defeated several old opponents with a time of 12.98 seconds, and once again defended the men's 110-meter hurdles championship at the World Championships.
It can be said that since 2014, Yijing has proved to the world the supremacy of the Chinese team in the men's 110-meter hurdles event with the harvest of an international top championship a year. Although, Yi Jing's championship results these few times are not very good, and even in the period of "Guo Liu Romeo" hegemony, it may not even be able to get a medal.
But a champion is a champion!
In the current period when the men's 110-meter hurdles in the international athletics are at a low ebb, the Chinese team can still have three players to break into the finals and occupy the championship again, which is also something that people have to admire.
The runner-up was still Jamaica's McLeod, and this was the third time the Jamaican boy has lost to Yi Jing in a top international competition. This time, MacLeod still ran a time of 13.04 seconds, perhaps, the gap between him and Yi Jing is in a seven-step upper hurdle technique!
"Kidney Fighter" Merritt is 32 years old this year, even with the recuperation of Guo Zizhao's club, but the ups and downs of his state are still much greater than before. This time, Merritt only ran 13.17 seconds in the final, finishing fourth, unfortunately not winning another medal.
The bronze medalist this time was Shubenkov, who competed as a neutral player. Last year, due to the impact of the doping scandal in Russian athletics, Shubenkov also failed to qualify for the Rio Olympics, and his daily training was also affected to a certain extent.
This year, although the IAAF still bans the Russian track and field team from participating in the World Championships, it allows some Russian track and field athletes who have proven their innocence to participate in the World Championships as neutral. Therefore, Shubenkov's participation this time also wants to prove his strength and innocence in front of the world.
It's just that although Shubenkov's strength has not decreased, after all, he has not participated in an international competition for almost two years, so his competitive state has still declined. In the end, Shubenkov only ran 13.14 seconds, and after the silver medal at the last World Championships in Beijing, he won another bronze medal.
……
Xie Wenjun was also very stable this time, ranking fifth with a time of 13.23 seconds. Zeng Jianhua basically ran his best level this time with the blessing of "powerful high-end high-frequency running shoes", ranking sixth with a time of 13.25 seconds. The last two were France's Lagarde and Jamaica's Pachemente with a time of 13.28 and 13.31 seconds respectively.
Guo Zizhao was also secretly glad when he saw this, fortunately Lao Tzu used equipment for Zeng Jianhua, otherwise, Zeng Jianhua would really run out of a crane tail ranking!
Although Zeng Jianhua's sixth place in this final is not too high, being able to run his best result under the pressure of these top masters is believed to be very helpful for Zeng Jianhua's "spiritual" attributes.
With the arrival of this championship, the number of gold medals won by the Chinese team in this World Championships has reached 2. And, with Zhang Peimeng and Yi Jing winning the World Championships in these two events again, they once again automatically qualified for the 2019 World Championships in Doha. This is a small surprise for the Chinese team.
And when it came to the final of the men's 400-meter sprint the next night, Chinese player Bei Ke gave the world a big surprise.
At the World Championships in Beijing last year and the Rio Olympics last year, Bike won the bronze medal in the men's 400m sprint, and also ran the top time in under 44 seconds. It can be said that in addition to Van Niekerk, in the men's 400-meter sprint event, in the past two years, that is, Killarney. James, Beco, and Rashawn. The Merritt trio were able to consistently run the top time in under 44 seconds.
Of course, this year, Bahamian star Gardner and Botswana star Macwala also ran the world's top time in 44 seconds, so they are also considered strong contenders for medals at this World Championships.
However, what everyone didn't expect was that Killarney. James was injured unexpectedly a month before the start of the World Championships and has already withdrawn from the competition for this World Championships. And the American veteran Rasean. Merritt was also unexpectedly out of the semifinals two days ago. What is even more unexpected is that Botswana star Makwala actually got food poisoning the day before the game, so he had to withdraw from tonight's final.
Hiss...... In this way, in the eyes of everyone, the final situation of the men's 400-meter dash is already very obvious.
……
South Africa's Dominion van Niekerk in the men's 400m is undeniable.
At the World Championships in Beijing and the Rio Olympics, Van Niekerk won the championship with international super perverts. Especially at last year's Rio Olympics, Van Niekerk ran an astonishing time of 43.03 seconds, almost breaking the 43-second mark!
In this year's international arena, the South African king also ran the top international results in the 400m event several times. Not only that, but Van Niekerk doesn't know whether he was stimulated by the bronze medal won by Bieko won the Olympic 200m event last year, or whether Van Niekerk thinks that he also has the strength to win medals and even win gold in the 200m event, so at this World Championships, Van Niekerk also competed in the 400m and 200m events like Beko.
I have to say that as the only all-around sprinter in the men's sprint event in the international athletics world who has run 43.50 seconds in the 400 meters, 20 seconds in the 200 meters and 100 meters in 10 seconds, Van Niekerk has indeed attracted the attention of many media and the public by participating in the two events at the same time.
Hiss...... Needless to say, Van Niekerk's results in the 400m event are not to mention, and this year's 200m event, Van Niekerk also ran twice in the international top time of 19.8 seconds. This result definitely has the strength to win medals.
If Van Niekerk can still win a medal in the 200m event at this year's World Championships, then at the next World Championships in Doha, will Van Niekerk start the mode of participating in three individual events at a time, like Guo Zizhao back then?
I'll go...... If Van Niekerk can win medals or even gold medals in top international competitions in these three events, then Van Niekerk may become the king of sprinting of a new generation after Guo Zizhao!
It is precisely because of this attractive goal that Van Niekerk has shifted part of his energy from the 400m event to the 200m sprint event this year. Meanwhile, in Killarney. James retired from injury, Rashawn. After Merritt was out of the tournament and Makwala retired from illness, the outside media and Van Niekerk all thought that this World Championships was really a godsend!
……
In Van Niekerk's view, the only remaining opponent is Beko, who is only capable of running the 400-meter dash. In the top international competitions in the past two years, Beke's best time was only 43.81 seconds, which was far from his opponent. Therefore, as long as he can run close to the top time of 43.50 seconds, he will be able to easily win the championship in this final, and there is no need to go all out.
Hey...... Save some energy and prepare for tomorrow's 200m semi-finals and the 200m final the day after tomorrow!
Zhang Peimeng and Usain Bolt's 100-meter strength has declined a lot, and I believe that their results in the 200-meter event will also drop significantly. Therefore, even if you can't defeat them, you are not without a fight! However, Bieko's 200-meter performance is also very good, and he has already run the world's top time of 19.79 seconds in the Rio Olympics last year, so if he wants to beat Bieko in the 200-meter event, he has to refuel!
Therefore, Van Niekerk also thinks that if he wants to win a medal or even a gold medal in the 200 meters this time, the main competitor is probably this Beike!
With Van Niekerk in mind, the final of the men's 400-meter dash also began. However, just a few tens of seconds later, Van Niekerk paid a terrible price for his pre-match miscalculation......
