Volume 3 The King of Athletics Chapter 38 Sniped (Second Watch Monthly Pass Subscription)
Liu Feiren lowered his voice and continued: "A few days ago, I heard the coach casually say that the association hopes that you can break a world record in this Golden Grand Prix. I heard that it is not easy for us to win this event, but the IAAF has a lot of resistance, and many people question the level of our country's track and field and whether we can hold a competition of this scale. After all, this is the first Golden Grand Prix, and there will be four more to come, so if you can break the world record once in the competition, it will be an instant hit, and it will be much easier to hold it again in the future. ”
"Where is the world record so easy to break, they think it's a restaurant to order, they can order whatever they want, this idea is too whimsical." Although Zhang Guan said this, he also knew the difficulties of the association in his heart.
"That's right, so the center blocked this matter back, and Director Luo also asked not to mention this matter to you, so as not to cause unnecessary pressure on you." Liu Feiren secretly looked at Liu Feiren's expression, and then said, "But I want to give it a try." ”
"Oh? Do you want to go for the world record? Zhang Guan immediately became interested.
Liu Feiren nodded, and then said: "In fact, in recent years, I have rarely participated in domestic competitions, especially after last year's Olympic Games. And this is the first time we have held such an international track and field event, it is held in our own home, and the audience is also the people of our own country, who have been supporting me all these years, so I want to rush! However, the recent form has not reached that level, and I am afraid that I will not even be able to score 13 seconds, let alone break the world record. ”
"If you have a goal, let's do it!" Zhang Guan patted Liu Feiren on the shoulder, and then said: "Go and try it, even if you can't break the world record." You won't be blamed either! ”
……
The Athletics Golden Grand Prix was held at the 80,000 Stadium, which is also the venue for the Chinese Super League, but for the Athletics Golden Grand Prix, the match between Zhongbang and Guoan, which was originally held on the 17th, was moved to the 16th.
On the afternoon of September 17. The events of the Athletics Golden Grand Prix have basically been completed, and the pole vault queen Isinbayeva has not been able to break the world record, and the diamond pendant prepared by the organizers. It hasn't been sent out yet.
There were still two finale events that were not held, one was the 110-meter hurdles and the other was the 100-meter dash.
Liu Feiren has not yet appeared, but the audience knows that the next game is the 110-meter hurdles, and the continuous applause and shouts continued until Liu Feiren stood on the runway.
This is Liu Feiren's hometown, Liu Feiren does have unparalleled popularity here, and Liu Feiren is a banner for this city. For the residents of the city, Liu Feiren is like their family.
The loudspeakers in the stadium reminded everyone to be quiet, so that the athletes could hear the starting gun, and the spectators also consciously quieted down and waited for the starting gun to sound.
"Bang!" Immediately after the gunshot, the spectators began to cheer, but the athletes who had just started stopped at the start.
Someone ran away!
Athletes are back at the starting point, ready to start again. After less than a minute of adjustment, the starter raised his gun again.
Gunshots rang out. Immediately after that, the referee's whistle sounded to stop the game, and someone rushed away again. The frontrunner is also American Dominic Arnold.
Arnold is the biggest name in the 110m hurdles event at the Grand Prix d'Or, behind Liu Fei and Alan Johnson, and although he is not as famous as the first two, he is also a very strong player.
Under normal circumstances, when there is a rush in the first shot, the athlete will choose a more conservative start in the second shot. Especially for strong athletes, the second shot is too risky. However, there are also some athletes who do the opposite, others are conservative, and they have to be unrestrained, once they succeed. There are a lot of advantages to be gained.
Unfortunately, Trent Alexander-Arnold failed and he was sent off.
Dashi, who competed with Liu Feiren, was much luckier, he was affected by Arnold at the start, and his body involuntarily moved in advance, but fortunately, his feet did not leave the starting block, so the induction device did not show him to start. Otherwise, he'll be sent off.
Zhang Guan looked at Coach Sun in the 110-meter hurdles next to him, Coach Sun was frowning at this time, staring at the track very seriously, obviously Liu Feiren's road to winning the championship in his hometown was not so simple.
This time it took much longer than before, and it was about three minutes before the athletes were back on the starting line, Alexander-Arnold was sent off, and there were only seven athletes left on the track.
"Set ......" With the reminder of the starter, the athlete held his breath and waited for the gun to sound.
A gunshot rang out, but the whistle sounded for the third time, and there were still people running for the third shot!
The runner was Japan's Masato Naito. has already been punished by an athlete, and it is a very powerful player like Arnold, it stands to reason that this will definitely have a certain deterrent effect on other athletes, but there are still people who fight so hard to use the tactics of pressing the gun to run, which is absolutely abnormal.
"What's going on, there are people running with three shots in a row, is it very popular to run with guns today? But if you go back and forth like this, it still has a great impact on the rhythm of the athletes! Or maybe they're sniping Liu Feiren! The idea popped into Zhang Guan's mind.
On the track, Liu Feiren's face was much more solemn than just now, and he constantly used his breathing to adjust his state, which could be seen that Liu Feiren was a little nervous at this time.
As the first Golden Grand Prix, fighting at home and his hometown, Liu Feiren was already very stressed, and the suspension of the race after three rushes undoubtedly greatly affected Liu Feiren's rhythm and aggravated his nervousness.
"Liu Feiren, this is being sniped by foreigners! It seems that this is deliberate. Perhaps athletes from other countries have reached a certain tacit understanding? They don't want us to win the title on their home turf! Yes, if we don't win the title on our own home turf, it's really a blow. The world doesn't want to see our country rise in athletics! A cold light flashed in Zhang Guan's eyes, perhaps because he had been hacked too much before, Zhang Guan did not have too much anger in his heart, but became more and more warlike.
Then Zhang Guan looked at the six foreign runners in the 100-meter sprint, and the more he felt that these six people would snipe at him in the competition. After all, in terms of fame and achievements, he is much stronger than Liu Feiren.
"These-stirring sticks, since they stick their faces over, I'll beat them unceremoniously in a while! Wait, if they stir up, then what am I......" Zhang Guan suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly.
On the field, after two penalties in quick succession, there were only six runners left on the track.
Although Liu Feiren was affected a little, in fact, he was more focused.
The starting gun sounded again, this time no one rushed again, and Liu Feiren also showed a very stable psychological quality, the start was not affected in any way, but was the first to rush out of the starting line.
"Well done!" Coach Sun clenched his fists excitedly, and Liu Feiren's starting reaction time was the shortest among the six runners, indicating that the first three sprints did not affect Liu Feiren.
However, Liu Feiren then ran into some minor troubles, taking down the hurdle in the third hurdle and being overtaken by Alan Johnson. Fortunately, Liu Feiren was strong enough to adjust his pace and catch up with Alan Johnson in the final hurdle and win the championship with a time of 13.05 seconds.
Although the audience was full of cheers, Liu Feiren felt a little pity, he took the third hurdle, the speed was greatly affected, if he did not bring down the third hurdle, maybe he really had a chance to hit the world record.
Next, the 100-meter trapeze battle is about to begin.
There are nine participants in the 100-meter sprint, and in addition to Zhang Guan, there are two Chinese runners, one is Hu Kai, and the other is Zhou Wei, the former national record holder in the 100-meter dash, both of whom are wildcard places.
Zhou Wei once ran the national 100-meter record of 10.17 seconds in 98, which was later broken by Zhang Guan. However, Zhang Guan did not fight against Zhou Wei before, because Zhou Wei was banned for doping, and now that the ban has passed, Zhou Wei is back on the field.
Among the American athletes, Gatlin is on suspension, Green and Crawford are also in the future, and John Capel and teenager Leonard Scott are in action.
Among them, John Capel is a veteran, who won the gold medal in the 200m at the 2003 World Championships in Athletics and the 100m in the 2003 Golden League in Zurich, when Tim Montgomery, the world record holder, was caught up in a doping scandal, and Morris Green was recovering from a broken leg in a car accident, and Justin Gatlin was just entering the first line, so Capel was also a dominator in that period. By 2004, however, Capel's form had begun to decline, and he was no longer a top 100m runner.
Leonard Scott, on the other hand, is a young American who competed in this year's World Athletics Championships and reached the final, when Scott was left far behind by Zhang Guan and Gatlin, and did not achieve much of a place.
In addition, the strongest foreign player is Ghanaian Aziz Ariza, who is considered the second person in the 100 meters in Jamaica, only below Powell, and has also had many battles with Zhang Guan, rarely getting a place.
In addition, Zhang Guan's old acquaintance Asahara, Xuanji, also appeared on the track. The remaining two foreign players are Frenchman Bergnon and Polish Francis. These two can be regarded as well-known 100-meter athletes in Europe, with experience in the Olympic Games, World Championships, Golden League, etc.
"It's all shrimp soldiers and crab generals! Even if I run normally, you won't be able to win against me! I'll see what tricks you can play later. Zhang Guan no longer thought about the six foreign players, and went directly to the starting line. (To be continued.) )
