Chapter 865: The era of "Guo Liu Romeo" is coming to an end
Guo Zizhao was also a little embarrassed after seeing the final list of the men's 110-meter hurdles.
In this life, although with their own efforts, Liu Feifei, Robles and Merritt have also come to several peak duels, but now, the era of "Liu Luomei" is about to end. No, if you add yourself and Oliver, it means that this life represents the peak of the men's 110m hurdles, and the period of "Guo Liu Romeo" is coming to an end!
He has retired a long time ago, and Liu Feifei has faded out of the audience's sight this year because of his injury, and his retirement after the injury is basically a foregone conclusion. Now Robles is about to do the same, without the support of the Cuban Athletics Association, without systematic training, and the impact of injuries, Robles is already unknown.
And although Merritt has barely maintained the international top strength this year under his own conditioning in his life, due to the continuous aggravation of kidney disease, Merritt will almost retire from the international arena next year. And when Merritt returns to the arena after surgery, it is estimated that it will be good to have the world's top strength.
As for Oliver, because he wanted to ensure Merritt win the championship again this year, he also removed Oliver from the list of outer disciples at the beginning of this year. Therefore, Oliver is estimated to be his last glory this year, and it will be even more difficult to run under 13 seconds so easily in the future.
These players are not only able to easily run the international top results within 13 seconds over the years, but also are super masters who have broken through 12.90 seconds. After these super masters have withdrawn one after another, the reign of "Guo Liu Romeo" will also be completely over. At that time, players who can step into 13 seconds will be rare in international athletics.
Thinking of this, Guo Zizhao also turned his head to look at Yi Jing. Starting next year, the international athletics will usher in a period of low ebb in the men's 110m hurdles, but I don't know if this guy can seize this opportunity in the next few years......
……
In this upcoming final, in addition to the two super masters of Merritt and Oliver, Xie Wenjun and Yi Jing, two Chinese players in their prime, have also attracted media attention.
23-year-old Xie Wenjun is Liu Feifei's fellow disciple, and 25-year-old Yi Jing is Guo Zizhao's disciple.
It's just that from the current point of view, the strength of Yi Jing and Xie Wenjun is only at the world-class level, and it is still unknown whether they can achieve a breakthrough in the next year or two......
In addition, there is another player who has also aroused the excitement of many Western media, that is, the 22-year-old Russian player Sergei. Shubenkov.
You know, although the Western media is a little unfamiliar with the Russians, Shubenkov is a white player! Moreover, he is the only white hurdler who has a chance to break the 13-second mark! Moreover, he is also a white player who was selected for Guo Zizhao's training camp.
Tut-tut...... This time, it is impossible for the Western media to be uninterested!
As early as the beginning of 2012, Shubenkov was selected by Guo Zizhao to participate in his own training camp, which also attracted a lot of media attention at that time. You know, Shubenkov at that time was just beginning to make a name for himself on the European stage.
In particular, Shubenkov's identity as a white sprinter also made the Western media very excited. You know, since Le Matre was favored by Guo Zizhao a few years ago, his results have soared! Today, Le Matlet is the only top white man in international athletics to run 10 seconds in the 100 meters and 20 seconds in the 200 meters.
Although Le Matri still did not win any medals in the top international competitions, it was not too much of a problem to run steadily to the finals of the Olympic Games or World Championships. Especially in the European Championships, Le Matre is still a well-deserved top boss.
……
And Shubenkov did not disappoint the Western media, while Le Matre won the men's 100m and 200m sprint championships at the 2012 European Championships, Shubenkov also won the European championship in the men's 110m hurdles.
And, to people's surprise, Shubenkov's winning time was 13.16 seconds, and his personal best time was 13.09 seconds! In the future, he will probably become the first white hurdler to break the 13-second mark!
Although both Le Matri and Shubenkov failed to reach the final at last year's London Olympics, it still did not reduce the keen attention of the Western media on these two men.
At this year's World Championships in Moscow, Le Matre and Shubenkov both reached the final, and the Western media is full of confidence in them.
Actually, Shubenkov's strength is still good! Especially this year, after Guo Zizhao accepted Shubenkov as his outer disciple, Shubenkov's performance has become more stable.
After the London Olympics last year, Guo Zizhao's hands were also vacated for three foreign disciples. Liu Feifei was hopeless to make a comeback after being seriously injured, Blake was deleted by himself, and Oliver was also deleted later.
Therefore, Guo Zizhao simply accepted Shubenkov, Vikaut and Jamaican hurdler Pachement as outer disciples when he was training in the training camp at the beginning of the year. Although their current strength is not very good, but in a year or two, it will be time for them to come out.
And in the men's 110m hurdles final tonight, Shubenkov's performance was also quite good!
……
First place, Merritt, 12.95 seconds!
Second place, Oliver, with a time of 12.99 seconds!
Third place, Shubenkov, with a time of 13.07 seconds!
Fourth, Wilson, with a time of 13.13 seconds!
Fifth place, Shi Dongpeng, with a score of 13.25 seconds!
Under Guo Zizhao's careful care, Merritt maintained his condition well this time. Although the results have dropped a notch compared to last year, they still calmly won the championship of this final.
In any case, under his own tutelage in his life, although Merritt did not burst out with an amazing result of 12.80 seconds like in his previous life, he is not the same as his previous life in terms of stability and the number of times he ran within 12.90 seconds!
Moreover, Merritt has received a lot more honors in this life than in his previous life. An Olympic champion, a World Championships, an Indoor World Championship, a Diamond League championship, and two World Championships runner-ups, it can be said that in addition to being one World Cup track and field (Athletics Continental Cup) championship, Merritt can also complete the "Grand Slam".
It's just that, with Merritt's current physical condition, the function of both kidneys is less than 50% of that of a normal person, even if he can continue until the World Cup track and field competition in September next year, his performance will definitely drop beyond 13 seconds. Whether he can win this championship at that time, Guo Zizhao can't guarantee it.
Moreover, if Merritt waits for a kidney transplant after next year's World Cup, it is estimated that there will not be enough time to recover. At that time, if Merritt can't reach the A standard, it is estimated that he will miss the 2015 Beijing World Championships!
You know, as Merritt's World Championship champion, as long as he reaches the A standard of the Beijing World Championships in 2015, he can directly get a wild card to participate!
Therefore, after careful consideration, Merritt felt that the Beijing World Championships were more attractive to him. As for the World Cup in athletics, since it was renamed the Athletics Intercontinental Cup, it has dropped a notch in the IAAF's top competitions. The attraction of top international players has also decreased a lot.
Therefore, Merritt still plans to wait until the end of the year to have a kidney transplant. Next year, I will spend another year recuperating and recovering, and the next year I will start competing again in the World Championships in Beijing......
