Colin. Jackson's retirement, Guo Zizhao is already long from Alain. Johnson's mouth learned.

The veteran, who has been in poor form since last year's Olympics, is also 34 years old this year. Although there have been occasional outbreaks in the competition this year, it is not as good as before.

In addition, Guo Zizhao is also in full swing now, and his results in the 110-meter hurdles this year have made all opponents feel desperate. The results in the five Golden League races, and the final time at the World Universiade, were all kept within 13 seconds. Not to mention the record 12.85 seconds in the World Championships final!

In this way, although Guo Zizhao did not participate in many 110-meter hurdles competitions this year, only about eleven or two, the number of races within 13 seconds reached 8! In other words, with Guo Zizhao's current strength, running within 13 has become a daily level.

What a terrifying level!

Guo Zizhao has run under 13 seconds this year, and he is almost catching up with Colin. Jackson's entire career!

It doesn't matter if Guo Zizhao is far surpassed, today's old opponent Alan . Johnson is also recovering from injury this year, in good shape, and is firmly in second place; The new generation of Trammell and Garcia are currently at their peak, and their strength has begun to surpass their aging self.

Think of it this way, Colin. Jackson is also in the mood for it, and finally made up his mind to retire this year......

Colin. Jackson's retirement has had a greater impact on the world athletics than the two Canadian flyers!

This one is with Alain. Johnson is a well-known accomplished professional, having won the 110m hurdles at the World Championships twice, the European Championship four times and the 60m hurdles at the World Indoor Athletics Championships once during his 18-year career. Although Jackson has failed to win an Olympic gold medal in the past decade, he has long dominated the top two in the world rankings, and has set world records in the men's 110m hurdles and 60m hurdles.

It's just that now, the veteran also announced his decision to retire at the age of 34......

……

Three 34-year-old sprint veterans announced their retirement, which finally attracted great attention from the international athletics world.

Just when everyone was still talking, another 34-year-old track and field heavyweight, Michael. Johnson has announced his retirement again.

This is really a stone that stirs up a thousand waves!

Michael. Who is Johnson? This is not only an iconic figure in American athletics, but also the former hegemon of international athletics in the men's 200m and 400m events! Especially in the men's 400m event, Johnson has created an unbeaten record of 54 international competitions for 7 consecutive years.

During his career, he won four Olympic gold medals and nine gold medals at the World Athletics Championships. For a decade from 1989 to 1999, Michael. Johnson has almost monopolized the men's 400m in all international competitions. He also set world records in the men's 200 meters and 400 meters, which shocked the world and are called "records of the 21st century".

However, unlike the three who announced their retirement earlier, although the previous three were also brilliant, their strength is no longer at their peak.

But Michael. Johnson is different, and now his strength is still the world's top existence. In last year's Olympics and this year's World Championships, although they were both lost to Guo Zizhao, Michael. Johnson's runner-up result is enough to kill any other player except Guo Zizhao.

Others are forgivable for retiring, this Michael. Johnson's retirement is a bit too much, right? Why is that? Although Michael. Johnson is also 34 years old now, but with his strength, there is no problem running for a few more years......

Is it because of Guo Zizhao?

Is it because he lost to Guo Zizhao in two major competitions?

Is it because of Guo Zizhao that he broke his two world records one after another?

Could it be that because of Guo Zizhao's existence, he no longer has a chance to win the championship?

For a time, international public opinion was also divided!

。。。。。。

"At the age of 34, the biggest curse of the year, the four sprinters said goodbye to the field in tears!"

"The veterans have retired one after another, and the culprit is directly pointed at Guo Zizhao?"

"Guo Zizhao has risen strongly, and international sprinters have retired!"

"Guo Zizhao dominates the sprint event, and the top masters of the past retreat!"

"Guo Zizhao defeated Johnson in the Olympics and World Championships, and the former 400-meter hegemon retired in anger!"

While many Western media are hyping up the news of the retirement of the four veterans, they are all pointing the finger at Guo Zizhao as if they were nothing. It seems that it is precisely because of the rise of Guo Zizhao that these veterans who once dominated the field have retired.

For these Western media, track and field events have always been monopolized by Western athletes. In the past two years, due to the rise of Guo Zizhao, almost the most influential sprint events in track and field have been swept through. This makes those Western media also feel shameless.

Although everyone admires Guo Zizhao's strength very much, these media are also ruthless when they have the opportunity to pour dirty water on Guo Zizhao.

After all, the pride and prejudice of the Western world against Chinese have gradually formed over a hundred years. If you want to change their stubborn prejudices, you can't achieve it with a few games and a few championships!

……

Fortunately, most sports enthusiasts are still more sensible.

With the current results of Canadian flyers Pele and Surin, they have long since retired from the ranks of the world's top sprinters. Coupled with this year's poor state and frequent injuries, retirement is inevitable for a long time, and it has nothing to do with Guo Zizhao.

And Colin. The same is true for Jackson, who is not as sad as the two Canadian flyers, but this year's form is also not optimistic. In addition, he is now 34 years old, so it is understandable that he chose to retire now......

As for Michael. Why did Johnson choose to retire, everyone is a little unclear? Is it really because he lost to Guo Zizhao and felt that there was no possibility of winning the championship again, so he chose to retire?

Just when everyone was speculating, Morris. Green spoke in front of the media," said Michael. Johnson is not a coward, nor is he an escapist. His retirement had nothing to do with losing to Guo Zizhao. Before last year's Sydney Olympics, when the national team was training intensively, a few of our friends who were familiar with Michael knew that Michael was about to retire. ”

Michael said at the time that he had dominated the world of athletics for 10 years and that he was feeling tired. He hopes to devote more energy to the training of youth sports that he loves. We also hope to see Michael on the field forever, but as friends, we are also happy to see that he can make the choices he likes! ”

……

Morris. Green's explanation not only gives Michael. The reason for Johnson's retirement is also related to Guo Zizhao's retirement.

Because of the four players who retired this time, they are all coincidentally 34 years old. Therefore, everyone talked about the elderly players who are still active today.

And half a month later, the Namibian veteran Fredericks, who is also about to turn 34 years old, has also become the object of media pursuit and questioning.

The veteran, who was also once a top international sprinter. He won gold in the 200m dash at the 1993 World Athletics Championships and silver medals in the 200m dash at the 1991, 1995 and 1997 World Championships.

At the 1992 and 1996 Olympic Games, he also won silver medals in the men's 100m and 200m sprints. Today, the veteran holds the world record in the 200m indoors! It can be said that the veteran was also a master who often dominated the top three in the world rankings five years ago.

The years are also unforgiving, and now Fredericks's world ranking has also fallen to around ten. Although I can still break into the finals of the World Series often, I have missed the medal!

However, in an interview with the media, the veteran admitted frankly that although his results are not as good as before, it is not yet the time when he can't run. I still want to participate in the Athens Olympics in three years! It's too early to retire......
