Chapter 317: The Positive Role of the Frontrunner

After Duke won the men's 200m in Oslo with a top-10 time of 19.48 seconds, an interesting scene happened on the field. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The runner-up Ashmid first beat his chest, showing frustration and chagrin, and he suddenly became excited after seeing his time of 19.83 seconds, sometimes annoyed, sometimes ecstatic, making people think that he is a snake spirit disease?

Ashmead was frustrated because although he won the second place, he lost to the champion Duke by 0.35 seconds, 19.83 seconds and 19.48 seconds, which are completely two grades.

Ashmead was excited, and although he lost to Douc, he finally broke his 200m PB.

In the live broadcast or interview of the track and field competition, we can often hear the commentators and reporters comment very positively: "So-and-so athlete PB, well done!" ”

If a professional athlete fails to refresh his best time for a long time, he will be very distressed and will wonder if he has regressed and failed.

Of course, it may be very difficult for a player like Usain Bolt to refresh his PB of 9.58 seconds or 19.19 seconds. But for the vast majority of other professional players, creating a PB score from time to time will greatly boost their confidence. There hasn't been a PB in years, and many players even have the idea of retiring.

Ashmid took the initiative to shake hands with Duke after the game: "Congratulations and thank you!" ”

"Brother is polite, why thank me?" Du Kexin said, Ashmid lost the game and thank me, what kind of pure international spirit is this?

Ashmid said seriously: "It's been two years, I haven't been able to refresh my 200m PB, but just now, I ran a time of 19.83 seconds, and I finally got PB, so I want to thank you, Du." If I still can't set a new personal best in the 200m this year, I will choose to give up the 200m event and only focus on the 100m. Usain Bolt didn't even push me to refresh the 200m PB, but you pushed me to run faster and faster, so, thank you again, you're a tough guy, but you deserve respect. ”

"You mean, I'm not as good as Usain Bolt." Duke laughed, "When you played with Usain Bolt, you probably didn't even think about defeating him, he is an invincible god in your mind." But you don't see me as an invincible opponent, you want to beat me, and you have a strong desire to push your limits when you play with me. Hope. ”

Ashmid thought for a moment, nodded and shook his head: "Yes and no, although Bolt is very strong, almost every sprinter is eager to defeat him, and defeating Bolt will make him famous, haha." ”

"In the years from 08 to 12, the overall level of the men's 200m including the 100m event reached an all-time high, not only Bolt ran fast, Blake, Gatling, Guy, they all ran fast, it can be said that in those years, Bolt led the overall level of men's sprinting to improve significantly. Later, Gatlin retired, Guy was suspended, Blake was injured, Bolt became more and more lonely, and the overall results of the 100m and 200m after 12 years showed a downward trend. ”

"After 12 years, Usain Bolt was able to win the championship without having to give it his all, so we were running slower and slower...... It's like the leader in a bicycle race, where the speed of the leader determines the overall speed of the big group behind them. I mean, Du, you're starting to take the lead, and you're having a stronger desire than Usain Bolt is now. We want to create better results and run faster, so in the future races, we have to be stronger to deal with you, which is probably what it means. ”

Duke: "You're praising me?" ”

Ashmead: "Well, if Usain Bolt had come to the race today, he wouldn't have outrun you." ”

Du Kele: "Isn't your relationship with Yousain very good, why did you start hacking him?" ”

Ashmeade: "Because I'm a man of integrity." ”

……

After Michael Johnson's retirement, the men's 200m event fell into an all-time low in the years from 2002 to 2006, with few runners running under 20 seconds each year.

In 2003, the best time of the men's 200m season was only 20.01 seconds, and in that year, no 200m runner in the world could run under 20 seconds, and the attention of the men's 200m event became less and less popular during that time, almost falling to freezing point. The best men's 200m runners in those years were Crawford, Williams and Spearmon, but they were still a long way from superstar and had limited international influence.

It wasn't until Tyson Gay ran a year-to-date best of 19.62 seconds in '07 that there was a glimmer of hope for a resurrection in the men's 200m.

Usain Bolt was born in '08, and the men's 100m and 200m events have re-emerged as the most watched mainstream events.

In the years from '08 to '12, the overall results of the men's 100m and 200m have improved significantly, and more and more runners have run the 10-second mark and the 20-second mark, thanks to Bolt, who has made a positive contribution to the men's sprint event.

Historical data proves that superstars never ruin a project, but rather make it a lot of attention.

But sprint superstar Usain Bolt has been lonely for the past two years, and the overall world sprint result in 2013 was the worst year since '08, so the sprinting world needs Duke to stimulate the market.

After the men's 200m race, at 21 o'clock, the men's high jump competition began.

The overall level of the men's high jump event has improved by leaps and bounds in recent years, and in this competition, Duke met old rivals Bondarenko and Bashim.

Duke and Bondarenko exchanged a few pleasantries, but Bashim was still very arrogant and didn't pay any attention.

In the men's high jump competition in Shanghai, Duke broke the Asian record in the men's high jump held by Bashim, who was quite unhappy and determined to regain the Asian record in Oslo.

Douc holds the Asian record for the men's high jump at 2.42m, so setting a new Asian record requires jumping at least 2.43m.

There is no 2.43m set in this race, so Bashim will have to surpass at least 2.44m to break the 2.42m record held by Doke.

2m 20m, 2m 23m, 2m 26m, 2m 29m, 2m 31m, 2m 33m, 2m 36m, 2m 38m, 2m 40, 2m 42m, 2m 44, 2m 46m.

These are the 12 heights set in the men's high jump event at this station.

Duke drew the No. 3 pick, he jumped from 2.20 meters to 2.29 meters, he jumped directly from 2.31 meters, and passed 2.31 meters in one time.

Bashim drew No. 5, he knocked Duke to death this time, Duke was exempt from jumping, he was exempt from jumping, he was exempt from jumping 2.20 to 2.29 meters four heights, and he also passed 2.31 meters at one time.

Bondarenko drew the number 10, and his form today was very average, he actually failed twice at a height of 2.31m, and only passed 2.31m on his third attempt.

When the bar reached a height of 2.33 meters, there were only five players left on the field.

When the crossbar rose to a height of 2.36 meters, Bondarenko was also eliminated, and only Du Ke and Bashim crossed the height of 2.36 meters.

Starting from a height of 2.38m, Duke and Bashim will start a 1v1 showdown.

Du Ke hadn't done an active stunt at this time, and he was also very simple, saying to the referee: "I don't need to jump 2.38 meters to 2.42 meters, I want 2.44 meters high." ”

Du Ke is ready to open double [Fast Frequency Assault] + [One Step to the Sky] to directly challenge the height of 2.44 meters.

Bashim was also very cheerful, and he also asked for 2.44 meters directly, because he came to break the Asian record of 2.42 meters. (To be continued.) )
