Chapter 703: Caught off guard by 42 seconds and 90 seconds
Compared with the lively scene in the men's 110-meter hurdles competition, the men's 100-meter sprint competition is a bit uneventful.
Powell easily won the championship with a time of 9.81 seconds, and the performance of the two players of the Chinese team was decent, Wen Yongyi 10.08 seconds, Hu Kai 10.14 seconds, compared with these top international masters, there is still a big gap......
However, in Guo Zizhao's view, this can be regarded as a very normal performance.
Although Wen Yongyi's "potential value" has reached the world-class level of 90 points under the blessing of the functions of the outer disciples, due to the hard injury of the "physique" attribute, Wen Yongyi's health state is also good and bad, and he has always been unable to play his best level.
In addition, Wen Yongyi's height is only 1.70 meters, which is also an irreparable regret, so Guo Zizhao estimates that a score of about 10.05 seconds is basically Wen Yongyi's best level. If you want to break through the 10-second mark, unless Wen Yongyi encounters a "super god" state that is rare once in a lifetime!
As for Hu Kai, his "potential value" is only 89 points at the international second-rate level, plus Hu Kai is a halfway monk and has a weak foundation, and he has not been able to devote all his energy to training in the past few years in school, so he has not been able to break through the 10.10 second mark. In addition, Hu Kai is now 27 years old this year, and he has reached the end of his peak, and he can maintain a score of about 10.15 seconds for another year or two, which is not bad.
Therefore, Guo Zizhao has long known the performance of these two people in this competition. Hehe...... Since this is the case, then the next thing is more sufficient!
……
June 7, Eugene Track & Field Grand Prix, USA.
This time, Guo Zizhao appeared with his three disciples. It is still Zhang Peimeng and Lao Yi who participate in the 100-meter sprint and Merritt in the 110-meter hurdles, while Guo Zizhao participates in the 400-meter sprint.
With the experience of the first two races, Zhang Peimeng and Lao Yi also performed quite steadily in the face of American celebrities such as Gay, Barton and Padgett this time, and in the end Zhang Peimeng's score was still 10.06 seconds, and Lao Yi also ran a time of 10.15 seconds.
Even Guy and other top masters were amazed after seeing the performance of Zhang Peimeng and others, "Boss, your two disciples are making rapid progress, when I first met them in the training camp, their results were not even the B standard of the Olympic Games, right?" Tut-tut...... Looks like you have a successor! ”
"That's it!" Guo Zizhao also said triumphantly, "Can I still have a bad eye for choosing apprentices?" Don't look at them as your opponent now, wait for another two years, you have to be careful! ”
"Haha...... Are you kidding? Just by them? Guy also tilted his head and said indifferently, "Although they are not bad, they are still far worse than me!" Among the current Chinese athletes, except for you, the boss, there is not even one who can run for 10 seconds! It would be nice if they could break 10 seconds in the future! ”
"Haha...... 10 seconds? Guo Zizhao also laughed, "Look at it!" I'm sure that day will come soon! ”
In addition to Zhang Peimeng and Lao Yi's good performance, Aris. Merritt's performance has also been very consistent. In the final of the 110m hurdles, Merritt defeated his old rival David in 13.10 seconds. Payne and teenager Richardson finally won their first race of the year.
What interests everyone is that in this competition, everyone once again saw an athlete who used the seven-step hurdle technique, that is, the 23-year-old American young athlete Jason. Richardson.
Since the competition at the Modu station in late May, Shi Dongpeng has successfully used seven steps on the hurdle for the second time. A few days later, at the Reebok Grand Prix in New York, Cuban teenager Robles was also not to be outdone, using seven hurdles to win the race with a time of 12.97 seconds.
There have already been two people who have succeeded in changing eight to seven, and from the current point of view, it seems that the effect is not bad! For a while, everyone was full of hope for this seven-step upper bar technique.
Unexpectedly, this time, the young Richardson actually ran seven steps up the hurdle in the race. It's just disappointing that this time, Richardson's seven-step hurdle didn't show any amazing power, and the athlete's final time was only 10.26 seconds, which is not a significant improvement compared to his previous level.
It seems that it is not so easy to successfully exert the power of the seven-step upper bar technique!
……
Of course, everyone's sigh for Richardson ended quickly, because in the subsequent men's 400m final, Guo Zizhao once again shocked everyone, and also quickly shocked the entire world athletics world.
42.90 seconds!
Guo Zizhao once again broke a record in this final, and frantically threw away La Sean. Merritt is about 10 meters away!
42.90 seconds! Guo Zizhao improved the world record of 42.98 seconds set at the Sydney Olympics by 0.08 seconds!
I'll go...... Everyone was in disbelief when faced with this achievement. At the beginning, experts predicted that 43 seconds would be the human limit for this project. However, Guo Zizhao slapped those so-called experts in the face with a time of 42.98 seconds.
However, fortunately, in the past few years, although Guo Zizhao has also run close to 43 seconds several times, and also ran an amazing result of 43.06 seconds at last year's Beijing Olympics, he has not been able to break through the limit of 43 seconds again. Therefore, experts all claim that Guo Zizhao's record-breaking result was just a lucky encounter with a super explosion of state, and with Guo Zizhao's real level, it is not enough to break through the limit of 43 seconds again!
But now, what's going on with this 42.90 seconds? Is it another state super explosion? Looking at Guo Zizhao's relaxed appearance in the final sprint, I still don't feel like I'm doing my best? The state has exploded, you guys are going to trick the ghosts......
Guo Zizhao said at the Osaka Grand Prix a month ago that he will break the world record one after another this year! No way...... Sure enough, it does what it says!
The world record in the 110m hurdles has been broken! Now the world record in the 400-meter dash has been broken! Now there are only the men's 100m and 200m events left, when will Guo Zizhao break these two events?
"Well, you'll probably have to wait another month." When Guo Zizhao faced reporters after the game, he also said with a smile, "In the next month, I will return to China to organize a period of national team training." If the timing is not a problem, I will see you again next month at the Golden League in Paris! ”
"Oh...... Will you break the world records in the men's 100m and 200m sprints? ”
"Haha...... What do you say? Is there any other possibility......"
……
On June 10, Guo Zizhao and his entourage flew back to Rongcheng after finishing the competition in Eugene.
Only this time, Aris. Merritt didn't come back with everyone. Half a month later, the United States Track and Field Championships and the World Championships trials will officially start, as the popular candidates for this competition, Merritt and Coach Toms, Coach Sun Zhaoqun and the club equipped with an assistant, a team doctor, a group of five people stayed in the United States to prepare.
As for the accommodation and training venue arrangements during this period, according to the agreement, Adi Company is naturally fully responsible. Hey...... Who made Aris. The club Merritt signed to is called Dawn. Adidas International Athletics Training Club!
Guo Zizhao is also full of confidence in Merritt's trip to the United States, as long as he can play normally, it will be easy to get a place in this World Championships. Therefore, Guo Zizhao didn't worry much about Merritt's affairs, and after returning to China, Guo Zizhao also focused on the upcoming national team training.
On June 11, the national track and field team gathered again at the Xipu track and field training base, and two days later, a group of athletes will be selected for the new national men's sprint relay team, and then will enter Guo Zizhao's club next door for a month-long training camp, while the other athletes are still training at the Xipu base.
In order to ensure the number and scale of the training camp, the field management center also allocated a rare and generous training fee of 500,000 US dollars to Guo Zizhao, requesting that the main force and substitute members of the relay team have a big training, and at the same time, it is also for the formation of a new men's relay team after Guo Zizhao retires next year.
Guo Zizhao also nodded and praised the center's request, but after Guo Zizhao wandered around the Xipu training base for two days and handed in the list of candidates for the relay team, the national team was in an uproar......
