All roads lead to Rome, and Duke came to the historic capital of Rome. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The men's events at the Diamond League Rome are: 100m, 400m hurdles, 5000m, pole vault, long jump, discus throw, javelin.
Women's events are: 100m, 100m hurdles, 400m, 3000m hurdles, discus, high jump, triple jump.
There are a total of 14 events in the Diamond League, but for a single event, there will not be a single event in each of the 14 races.
There are a total of 32 events in the Diamond League, which are:
Men's and women's 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1500m, 5000m, 400m hurdles, 3000m hurdles, high jump, long jump, triple vault, pole vault, shot put, javelin, discus.
The above 15 men's + women's events multiplied by 2 are 30 events, plus the men's 110-meter hurdles and women's 100-meter hurdles, a total of 32 events.
Taking the men's 100m as an example, this men's single event will not appear in every stop of the Diamond League, in principle, the men's 100m will appear every other station, and there will be two consecutive stations of 100m, but the men's 100m will never be set at 14 consecutive stations.
There are too many athletics events, and if each event is more male and female than all 32 events, it takes too long, and if you compete continuously, many high-level athletes will give up participating in the competition, so there is no guarantee of spectacle and competition.
In the men's 100m event in Rome, the top athletes did not come to the competition, Bolt and Gatlin did not come to Rome, they just finished the 200m race in Eugene, and they did not want to travel long distances to go to Europe immediately.
None of the American sprinters came to Rome, and the Jamaican athlete came with one, Ashmead.
The largest number of European sprinters registered in the men's 100m event in Rome.
There are two in France, Vicotte and Lemametri. There are two in the UK, Ujah and Dasholu.
and Trinidad and Tobago's Bradman and Panama's Edward.
Of the eight athletes who participated in the men's 100m in Rome, it seems that Duke is the most famous.
Douca's PB time was also the fastest, with the exception of Ashmead, none of the other six had run under 9.90 seconds.
This is Duke's fourth Diamond League event, and in Rome he only needs to run 100 meters with one shot, and in terms of results, he is the strongest of the eight.
Perhaps the biggest challenge facing Duke was the long journey with only two and a half days to rest.
On June 4, local time in Italy, Duke conducted a one-and-a-half-hour field adaptation training at the Olympic Stadium in Rome.
"How's your physical condition adjusting?" Director Meng asked Du Ke.
"It's too hot...... Yawn...... "Duke yawned, still jet lag.
"It's been very hot in Rome these days, with daytime highs of 356 degrees...... Yawn. "Director Meng is also jet lag.
Doucault: "It seems that many Europeans don't like to have air conditioning in their homes, and I see a lot of Roman citizens running to soak in the pool in the center of the city, which is the one in the Roman holiday movie...... Yawn. β
In recent years, the climate in Europe is abnormal, the summer is particularly hot, and the European people are running to the street to enjoy the coolness, which is similar to the situation before China's reform and opening up...... Far away, let me ask you how your physical condition is adjusting, why are you involved with me on the issue of people's livelihood in Europe? β
Du Ke: "It's not too much of a problem, anyway, I'll run a shot tomorrow, and it should be cool at night." In fact, I can carry it if it's hot, after all, the city where I have lived for a long time is also very hot in summer, but the jet lag is very painful. β
Coach Meng: "Hard work, Du Ke, stick to it, generally when it comes to large-scale events, the Olympic Games, the World Championships, etc., the national teams of each event will go to the country that holds the event at least one to two weeks or even a month or two in advance to prepare for the competition, you have participated in the World Swimming Championships, you know, the national swimming team also went to Spain a month in advance to prepare for the competition last year. β
"In the Diamond League, we can only get over it. By the time of next week's Oslo station, the jet lag will definitely be completely reversed, and tomorrow's 100m shot, as long as you can run within 9.90 seconds, the champion is estimated to not be able to run. Rome station is actually a transition, don't have too much pressure, it doesn't matter if you pb or not, take it easy. β
β¦β¦
On the evening of June 5th, the Rome race began.
The venue is the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, which is the home of Serie A teams Roma and Lazio, and is a large multi-purpose stadium that can host both football matches and athletics matches.
The 2013-14 Serie A season has come to an end and the Olympic Stadium has been vacated to host the Diamond League.
The 70,000-capacity Stadio Olimpico has only 10,000 visitors tonight, which looks a little deserted, perhaps due to the economic downturn in Italy in recent years, and the Rome tournament is expected to be the lowest attendance in the Diamond League this season.
IAAF officials also shook their heads: "How did the Italian organizers do it?" The organization and publicity work is not in place, look at the Chinese organizers, the same stadium that can accommodate 80,000 people, and the attendance rate of China's Huhai Station is close to 100%, which is almost full. Italy is really not as good as it is every year, last year there were 30,000 or 40,000 spectators in Rome, and this year there are only more than 10,000 people, and I feel sorry for these wonderful athletes who have come to participate. β
The on-site atmosphere will have some impact on the athletes to create good results, especially the kind of players who are crazy, and when they see that there are few spectators watching the game, their hearts are half cold.
But no matter how many spectators come to see the game, the game has to go according to plan.
At 20 o'clock, the men's 100-meter race is about to be fired.
Duke was placed in lane 4 and he was determined to win the title.
Jamaica's 4*100-meter Olympic and World Championships champion team member Ashmid is in lane 5, after all, he is a double champion in the Olympic and World Championships, and his personal 100-meter run PB is 9.88 seconds, which is very strong.
Vicott, Lemametri, Uja, Dasholu and other European runners are playing at home, they did not go to Eugene, there is no jet lag, and the European sprinters who are waiting for their work also want to prove themselves and strive to win a Diamond League championship at the home stadium of Greater Europe to support the faΓ§ade.
Bang!
The men's 100m race begins.
Duke opened the [wolf's ear] and started to listen to the gun, taking the lead.
Suddenly, a beep sounded, and someone rushed to run!
Du Ke had already run out more than ten meters away at this time, and he was shocked, could it be that I was running? Impossible!
Duke closed his steps and looked at the referee, only to see that the referee resolutely and decisively showed a red card to Ashmid in the fifth way.
It turned out that Ashmid ran away.
In track and field competitions, foul behaviors such as rushing and taking off clothes to celebrate before crossing the line will be directly punished, disqualified from the competition or the final result will be cancelled.
Similar to a soccer match, a track and field referee shows a red card to an athlete, meaning that it is the most severe on-field punishment.
Ashmid was not convinced, he shouted that he was wronged, there was a problem with the starting gun, it was none of his business, and he begged the referee to be gracious......
The country has its own laws, there are rules, and the referees enforce the law very strictly, and they don't listen to Ashmid's explanation, and they expel him from the field.
According to the starter's induction chronograph, Ashmid did take the lead, and his starting reaction time was 0.092 seconds, which was eight thousandths of a second, which was unlucky.
When Duke saw his starting reaction, 0.104 seconds, he trusted [Wolf's Ear] more and more, this listening gun starting technique is really not something that can be practiced if you want to.
With seven men left on the pitch after Ashmid was sent off, the game restarted.
Bang!
The starting gun rang out again, and the game began for the second time
Duke was in the lead from the start and went into the middle run after the sprint run, half a position ahead of second-placed Wickot.
At the 60-meter mark, Duke was already one position ahead of Vicourt, and then he turned on the [Fast Frequency Assault], making the next 40 meters without suspense.
Ashmid, who was second only to Douc in strength, was sent off, and the other players did not pose much of a threat to Doke.
Duke crossed the line first and won the championship with a time of 9.84 seconds.
The second-place Vicott had a time of 9.97 seconds, losing to Duke by 0.13 seconds, which is not a small difference.
The third-place Lemametri time was 9.99 seconds, the fourth to seventh places failed to run under 10 seconds, and the seventh-place British player Uja only ran 10.27 seconds, which is not as good as Su Bingtian and Zhang Peimeng.
All in all, compared with the men's 100m in previous years and the previous three stations, the overall performance of the men's 100m in Rome was relatively average, except for Duke, the other runners failed to run too well.
Although Duke also failed to refresh his PB score of 9.81 seconds, his performance is also within the normal range of ups and downs, no athlete in the world can do all the PB, including Douca, including Usain Bolt, Bolt has not had a PB for 5 years, I don't know if he can still refresh his PB score of 9.58 seconds in his life.
"9 seconds 84, okay, swiped another 20 bonus points." Duke easily won the men's 100m championship in Rome with an economical and practical running style, and achieved the set goal, which he can fully accept. (To be continued.) )
