Chapter 178: The Indoor Event Ends
In the 60-meter hurdles final held in the evening, Liu Feiren completely let go of himself and released his full ability. The second place was taken by former world No. 1 Allen. Johnson, although he tried his best beside Liu Feiren, he still couldn't shake the opponent's lead.
After the competition, Liu Feiren was the only team member in the final 8 who could run 7.5 seconds, and his time was 7.47 seconds, which is also very powerful in the 60 hurdles.
Although it is not as good as Allen at his peak. Johnson, but Liu Feiren can have today's results, relying on his ability to play in the future.
It is only in the past two years that Liu Fei has relied on high-intensity training to optimize his starting technique, and the number of steps across the first hurdle has been changed from 8 to 7, which is currently very advanced in the world.
When Alan. Johnson said goodbye to Athens simply because he was too impatient at the start, knocking down two hurdles in a row, and then tripped over the hurdles.
After Liu Feiren finally won the championship with a world record-breaking result, the reporter captured Allen outside the fence of the track and field field. Johnson's figure, the picture at that time made people feel that the hero was lonely.
If he can successfully enter the finals, I am afraid that with his existence, it will be difficult for other athletes to let go of themselves.
When the king is not there, a new king can be born. Wait until Alan. After Johnson came out of the shadow of the Olympics, there was a series of injuries, and in this way, even he had to admit that he had lost his dominance.
Now that he is standing with Liu Feiren, he can only make people feel that there are many heroes in the sports world, and this is no longer his era.
After the game, Liu Fei and Allen. Johnson hugged each other. This action represents a lot of content, like a tribute to the new generation of heavenly kings, and it also seems to be a handover ceremony between the old and new flying people, even if Liu Feiren has already established the status of the first person in the 110th column in his absence.
When Liu Feiren stood on the podium, Lu Wei felt the pride exuded from the inside out by the members of the track and field team around him.
Before Liu Feiren stepped onto the podium, everyone looked at him and talked about him in a tone that he was the Dinghai Shenshen needle of Chinese track and field.
Liu Feiren is no longer the time of Athens, and he can do it even if he is a yellow race when he opens his mouth and closes his mouth, and he wants to prove to the world in the competition that the strength of the Chinese people.
At that time, it felt like everything was proving itself, proving the nation behind it.
By now, he had nothing left to prove. He won all the titles, first equalling the world record that no one had been interested in for 12 years, and then breaking him.
These years of training have allowed Liu Feiren to get everything he wants.
When interviewed at this time, he always expressed that it was good to be himself. Being able to say such things in front of the whole world is still tacitly accepted by everyone, which shows that as long as Liu Feiren plays his level in the competition, others basically have no problem.
No matter how well the opponent plays, no matter how small the gap in the final lead is. Winning a match, the way to end a match, has never changed, that's what a champion team is all about.
Even when the organizing committee of the award ceremony misplaced the national anthem, Liu Feiren just spread his hands and smiled at the camera.
There are no more conspiracy theories of great powers, no more fragile national pride, and no more endless appeals. Everything has become breezy and bleak, and the champion players are not only reflected from a competitive point of view, but also from the mentality of seeing the bearing of an era hegemon lupine scarf.
At this point, the first stage of the Olympic year, the indoor competition, has finally come to an end. In fact, from February to now, there are 3 to 4 well-known indoor Grand Prix races going on one after another.
It's just because of past results that many event organizers did not invite Chinese players to participate, mainly because the results of Chinese players are generally not convincing, and even if they participate in the competition, they are basically at the bottom.
The rules of the indoor Grand Prix are basically the same as those of the outdoors, and the organizing committee tries its best to recruit high-level runners from all over the world to run a race, and the quality of the race is the first factor to be measured.
Another reason is that many competitions consider the issue of budget, and most of the players invited are athletes from one continent, which can also save a lot of costs.
In addition to the 11 team members who came this time, most of the other national team members will choose to participate in domestic indoor track and field events. Zhang Yuanteng and Hu Huo fell in love and killed each other in the indoor competition in Guangdong.
It can be said that there are only a handful of players like Lu Wei and Shen Liang who can use the World Series as a warm-up match for the Olympic year, and more players participate in various domestic competitions.
The national team also selectively allows players to participate in some competitions, although the ultimate improvement of ability requires continuous participation in competitions. But the time for winter training before the Olympics is too precious.
Even when discussing whether to have a holiday for the Spring Festival, the two head coaches and other coaches in charge had a red-faced argument with red ears.
After the competition, all the team members gathered again at the Haigeng training base, which was regarded as the last two weeks of closed training for the track and field team.
After this time, the outdoor season has already begun. At this time, competitions are organized all over the world, and all the players will also find opportunities to participate in several competitions to test their physical abilities. After discovering your own weak points, you can continue to make up for them through training.
However, from April onwards, there will never be such a good training atmosphere, and everyone will need to participate in competitions to consolidate their training results.
Another important issue is the qualification for the Olympic Games, which the IAAF announced at the beginning of March.
The qualification cut-off for each event is basically unchanged from the World Championships, and athletes who qualify for the Olympics in IAAF-sanctioned competitions from 1 January 2007 to 8 July this year are considered to have exceeded the Olympic qualifications.
However, exceeding the standard does not necessarily mean that the athlete will be able to participate in the competition, and the qualification line for the Olympic Games has two qualification lines: A standard and B standard.
If a country has more than three team members in the same event who have achieved the Olympic Athletics A standard, then only a maximum of three team members can participate in the Olympic Games.
Only when no one meets the A standard is an athlete who meets the B standard is allowed to compete.
This equalizes the disparity between countries, with the U.S. team, for example, now having 19 members of the team who have reached Olympic A.
Huaxia now Shen Liang and Zhang Yuanteng have reached the A standard of the Olympic Games, and many other countries do not even have a team member who has reached the B standard.
During this time, many team members will be fighting for qualification for the Olympic Games.
