On May 18, the 80,000 people stadium in Huhai City, the competition venue of the Shanghai Station of the Diamond League. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The 80,000 Stadium As the name suggests, it has a capacity of 80,000 people.

The 80,000-person stadium was almost full tonight, a scene that has rarely been seen since Liu Xiang's injury.

Tonight's men's seven events are: 110m hurdles, 800m, 5000m, discus, high jump, triple jump, javelin.

The women's seven events are different: 100m hurdles, 200m, 400m, 1500m, 5000m, shot put, long jump.

The men's and women's events vary from year to year, but there is one event that is permanent: the men's 110m hurdles.

There will be no preliminaries/qualifiers for all events tonight, and only one shot will be run in each individual event of the track race, and the field competition will be directly compared to the finals.

At 6 p.m., the men's 800m will start first, and the men's high jump will start at 20:45.

There are 14 individual events for men and women, and more than 100 track and field masters from all over the world gathered in the 80,000-person stadium, of which only Du Ke is the only one who can do two.

In the men's 800-meter race at this level, the race time of a race is between 1 minute and 40 seconds and 2 minutes, and after Duke runs the 800 meters and shoots, he has two and a half hours of rest, and he can rest enough before going to the high jump, and there will never be a situation like the Lisbon station, where the high jump and the 400 meters are rushed.

This is the advantage of playing at home, and the Shanghai Sea organizers will of course create convenient conditions for Chinese athletes to the greatest extent if the rules allow.

Duke was already standing at the starting line of the 800-meter track 4, ready to start.

The opponent he faced was quite strong, and in terms of class, the overall strength of the men's 800m runner tonight was no worse than that of Gatlin and Bromel in the last 100m run.

Lane 5, David Rudisha, Kenyan, 26, is the men's 800m champion at the London Olympics, the men's 800m at the 2013 World Championships in Moscow, and the current world record holder in the men's 800m. In the men's 800m, Rudisha is now ranked No. 1 in the world, having dominated the men's 800m for many years.

Lane 3, Maclofe, Algerian star, 26 years old, London Olympics men's 1500m gold medalist, 800m silver medalist, is now ranked 1st in the men's 1500m individual event and 2nd in the 800m individual event.

No. 6, Rotich, a Kenyan player, is 25 years old and is currently ranked No. 3 in the world.

The second lane, Soleiman, a Djibouti player, is 22 years old and is currently ranked No. 7 in the world.

The first lane, Kittilit, is also a Kenyan player, 20 years old this year, and is now ranked 11th in the world.

In lane 7, Alfred Kipket, still a Kenyan player, is only 18 years old this year and is now ranked 15th in the world.

No. 8, Oman, Ethiopia's 20-year-old is ranked No. 5 in the world.

With the exception of Duke, the remaining seven players are all from Africa, with four Kenyans accounting for half of the eight.

In the men's 800m race of the Diamond League, four of the top five players in the world came, Djibouti's Soleiman ranked No. 7 in the world, and two Kenyan youngsters Kittilit and Kipkite were also ranked in the top 15.

In the men's 800m event, Du Ke is now ranked 20th in the world.

The host now introduced Du Ke in the fourth lane, Du Ke waved in the direction of the stands, and the audience cheered, like the New Year.

When introducing the fifth Rudisha, the host said very objectively: "The fifth is the Olympic champion, world champion, and current world record holder - Rudisha. ”

David Rudisha, the king of the 800m event, has six of the top 10 all-time best results in the men's 800m, and he holds the men's 800m world record of 1:40.91. Rudisha's height reaches 190cm, and his body is not as lean as other middle-distance runners, he has a blank face and looks very serious.

"This black uncle is hanging like this? Olympic champion? World record holder? "Some of the spectators are not calm, and although Rudisha is very hung in the 800m event, he is certainly not as well-known in China as Bolt, Gatling or even Tyson Gay. Most of the audience was quite surprised when they heard about Rudisha's brilliant achievements.

"African uncles and sisters are very good at middle-distance running, you go to see the middle-distance running competitions of the previous Olympic Games, athletes from other continents outside Africa can hardly play, so Wang Junxia's achievements can be called great, it is not easy for Dongfang Shenlu to hold the women's 3,000 meters and 10,000 meters world records, and she is also the only Chinese track and field athlete to win the Jesse Owens Award." Some viewers who know more about track and field said, "Hey, Liu Feiren's 110-meter hurdles world record has been broken to 12.80 seconds by Aris Merritt, when will there be a male athlete in China to refresh a track and field world record in a single event?" ”

"Of course it's Duke, this moment is coming, and I'm sure he'll be able to break the men's 800m world record right away."

"It's difficult, let's defeat Rudisha first, I wonder if Duke can cause some trouble for Rudisha?"

"Big brother, you don't seem to have much confidence in Du Ke? Is this black uncle really so perverted? ”

"Rudisha is indeed very perverted, of course I hope that Duke can defeat him under our noses, but my true fan is more sensible, to use an analogy, Rudisha is at 800 meters, just like Usain Bolt is at 100 meters, so it is indeed difficult to defeat Rudisha. Rudisha's running style is very domineering, he is the style of forcibly taking the first place in the inner lane, he can't tolerate anyone running in front of him, you can see it later. ”

"The key thing is that Rudisha still has three younger brothers as his helpers, and the four Kenyan players ranked in the top 15 in the world have joined forces to close the road, or the three guarantees have disrupted the rhythm of other countries, which is really worrying."

On the track, Duke was fully focused on getting ready to start, of course he knew Rudisha's great strength, but it is precisely because you are a world champion, an Olympic champion, a world record holder, then I have to beat you, this is my home field, how can I afford to lose to the 80,000 spectators in the stadium?

Rudisha is super strong and strong, and he has three Kenyan compatriots to help him cover, objectively speaking, the Kenyan army has an absolute advantage.

In fact, Duke's 800m tactics are very similar to Rudisha's, they are used to taking the first place in the inside lane, pressing all opponents behind.

This Diamond League men's 800m race, from the first step, is destined to be a fierce battle.

Whether Duke, who is fighting alone, can highlight the encirclement of the Kenyan Legion and the African Korps and present good news to the Chinese audience at his doorstep, the answer is about to be revealed. (To be continued.) )
