Chapter 900 The Golden Ends, Liu Xiang Returns
[Asafa is a very strong opponent, and it is not easy to win against him. 】
[There is still a gap in hard power, and we will continue to chase Powell in the future. 】
[The third 9.80+ result, I feel very good, and there will be more in the future.] 】
[Is 9.83s the limit for Asians?] I can tell you with certainty that absolutely not. 】
[I will not stay in Stuttgart, and I will fly back to Ersha Island that night. 】
……
Usain Bolt is in a bar in Jamaica at the moment.
It's already morning when he came back, and when he saw the news, he shook his head and said with a smile: "Asafa is really, I don't know when to relax, can I relax when I face off against this kid." ”
"I didn't dare to relax before."
"But now, it's not time to think about it, this year my season is over, and the rest is Bolt Entertainment playtime. So Sue, let's come back next year and let me see if you can continue to get stronger. ”
After muttering, Bolt had already returned to his bed and fell asleep.
I forgot to brush my teeth.
The days of the king of sprints are so boring.
……
After saying goodbye to Powell, Su Shen and Zhao Haohuan returned to China with one gold and one silver in the IAAF finals.
Everyone is very satisfied with this result.
Because now the results of the two of them have reached the top level in Asia.
Even in the world, he is already one of the super masters.
In the future, the training plan must be more professional and detailed.
The point is that these two people are still very young, which makes people feel uncomfortable, and even Randy feels that these two people have immeasurable potential.
At least.
He believes that this achievement is certainly not the limit of their future.
However, before the winter training, as the face of the flower planter, they also had to participate in the fixed Golden Grand Prix project in the magic capital.
In the past, this was Liu Xiang's reserved program, but now that Liu Xiang is gone, it is naturally the turn of the new rise of the flower growers to come over to support the scene.
Su Shen doesn't care, it's in the country, it's not troublesome.
And as the finale, he also wants to fight with Zhao Haohuan without the interference of others.
At this time, he received a message on his mobile phone, clicked on it, and wrote: "The operation was successful, see you at the Grand Prix of the Magic Capital." ”
Su Shen was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
Sure enough, history has begun to change.
Originally, Liu Xiang hadn't started to go to the United States at this time, but now, with his own intervention, the whole person has completed the operation in mid to late September. This also gives Liu Xiang more time to rest and recover, and he doesn't have to start training too early.
The next day, Liu Xiang's team had come out publicly to face an interview: "In the past month, Liu Xiang's Achilles tendon has recovered quite well. The surgery was also successful, and after the observation, he is now able to train in any part except the injury. But our current idea is still to come little by little, and we will not rush to add any overtraining to Liu Xiang. Although only a small piece of cartilage is removed from surgery, the human body is like a machine, and removing one of its parts will destroy the integrity of the machine. Moreover, the hurdle project requires a high degree of explosiveness from the Achilles tendon, and cartilage plays a supporting role. So we can't be in a hurry, and we won't be in a hurry, it's still a long time, and the rest of the parts can also be exercised during the recovery period, just to strengthen the weaknesses of the rest of Liu Xiang's parts. ”
Sun Haibei also said: "I estimate that if he is injured well at the beginning of next year, he will basically be able to train normally." Now he has been training his body, and at that time his level of strength in all aspects has increased, as long as his feet can be healed relatively smoothly, he still wants to rush hard in the hurdle career. ”
And Liu Xiang himself said what he had said in his previous life: "I hope I can break the record in 2012." Hopefully I'll be back to my peak in 2012. ”
Liu Xiang also said this in the original time and space, and he almost did it, because the world 100-meter hurdles record at that time was 12.87s, and Liu Xiang also ran 12.87s when he was in the New York Grand Prix, but it is a pity that the wind speed exceeded 0.4s, and the results were not legalized, and could only be included as super wind speed results. But this also shows that Liu Xiang is indeed close to fulfilling his wish.
Don't forget, this was said by Liu Xiang in 2008.
It's really not easy to do it after 4 years, and the effort behind it, without thinking too much, must be immeasurable.
And before Su Shen, Zhao Haohuan and others could go over, they received a mysterious invitation, which read:
On the Huangpu River.
Everyone is invited to the banquet.
Inviter: Yao Ming and Liu Xiang.
Unexpectedly, the 2008 Golden Grand Prix, the yacht opening ceremony, which was talked about by later generations, really came.
……
On September 18th, Su Shen, Zhao Haohuan, Lao Yi, Zhang Peimeng, and Zhou Bing went to the Golden Grand Prix in the magic capital.
Hukai is still the same as last year, choosing to completely let it out, 100 meters and 200 meters, both need newcomers.
He felt that he had no regrets.
What needs to be done, has been done.
It is precisely because of Hu Kai's generosity that the rest of the people can go to the competition.
Otherwise, as Hu Kai, he can occupy the quota in both the 100 meters and the 200 meters, and others can't say anything to complain about.
After all, it is an old qualification, and the strength is also online.
The next day, after getting acquainted with the venue, that night, Su Shen and Zhao Haohuan came to the bank of the Huangpu River in formal clothes.
Under the guidance of the etiquette, I came to a yacht and followed the boat.
According to Chen Kelun of the Organizing Committee of the Modu International Athletics Golden Grand Prix, the welcome dinner is not only this year, and it will also be set up in previous Grand Prix, but this time the dinner co-hosted by Yao Ming and Liu Xiang is the first time.
So this time, naturally, it has also attracted more media coverage.
The heat is also better.
The point is that their identity is very special, not as athletes, but as ambassadors of the magic capital.
In fact, if I have to say, the opening of the Golden Tournament actually started in the afternoon.
It was supposed to consist of two parts: the red carpet and the banquet.
The Pudong Riverside Avenue will be rolled out on the Oscar-like red carpet all the way to a yacht club on the banks of the Huangpu River. According to the organizing committee, nearly 200 athletes from all the Grand Prix were invited to participate in the welcome banquet, and they received a beautiful invitation when they arrived in Shanghai. But because he didn't have to participate in the red carpet show, Su Shen and they didn't have a past, after all, now his popularity is high enough, Zhao Haohuan is too lazy to go, he is cold, and finally Lao Yi, Zhang Peimeng, and Zhou Bing participated as representatives in the past.
It is said that the pole vault queen Isinbayeva and her boyfriend first appeared in front of reporters, followed by Jamaican female flyer Campbell, North Beijing Olympic women's 100m hurdles champion Don Harper, and Olympic men's 110m hurdles bronze medalist Oliver.
The scene is still very grand.
Su Shen and Zhao Haohuan went over at 7 o'clock in the evening and boarded the ship directly to attend the dinner.
At this time, it can be regarded as Su Shen meeting again after seeing Liu Xiang last time.
"Brother Xiang, you look in good spirits." Su Shen shook hands and hugged when they met.
"Not bad." Liu Xiang obviously got the final result during the observation period that the operation was completed perfectly, which also made him a little more motivated for the future: "It's just that the heel is still a little uncomfortable, and it's a little weak, and I don't dare to exert myself." ”
"Good cultivation is that since we are successful, we will wait slowly, and the rest of the parts will just be strengthened, and then we can take off again." After Jordan was injured, he kept training except for his own feet, and this effect will help you hit a new peak after you recover again.
"No problem, after the Demon Capital Gold Tournament is over, I will go to Ersha Island with you to start rehabilitation training."
"Okay, the room is vacated for you, Brother Xiang, just move in with your bags."
The two of them exchanged a few words, and then they saw a "black cloud" coming over.
With such a high oppressive force, there must only be the little giant Yao Ming.
"What are you whispering? Can you tell me about the slowest track and field athlete as well? "The opening is Yao's humor, a typical Yao Ming.
"Hello Brother Yao, you should also pay attention to your foot injury, steel nails are not a long-term solution." Su Shen nodded, but Yao Ming and Liu Xiang were in a different situation, the basketball players' schedules were too dense, and they couldn't rest a lot of time casually like track and field athletes.
"It's okay, I'm used to it." Hearing this, Yao Ming's face darkened slightly, but he quickly recovered and teased: "There are also many athlete girls, the dinner opportunity is rare, why don't you go and take a look?" Several big men got together, and after a long time, I am afraid that those reporters will not be restless. ”
"Don't, Brother Yao." Su Shen shook his head and said: "I am a master of the grass, let people know, and I must not pick my skin." ”
"Oh? Do you have it? When's it? Yao Ming and Liu Xiang obviously knew it for the first time, and immediately the soul of gossip rose.
"It's hard to say, it's up to you how you define it." Su Shen said: "Anyway, we are childhood sweethearts, and we grew up together." ”
I'll go.
Liu Xiang and Yao Ming were both shocked, and at the same time envious, childhood sweethearts, what beautiful words.
It is a pity that in the future materialistic era, the meaning of this word is becoming more and more blurred.
There are fewer and fewer so-called childhood sweethearts.
The dishes of this banquet are a combination of Chinese and Western, not expensive, but quite in line with the Chinese habit of banqueting foreign guests. There are nine programs, including appetizers and salads, vegetable salads, breads, seafood, soups, special recommendations, hot dishes, desserts, and fruits. The reporter took a closer look, and the dishes included not only international flavors such as Mediterranean salad with feta cheese and smoked salmon with pasta, but also snacks and stir-fried dishes with Chinese characteristics, such as spring rolls, scallion oil chicken, fried prawns by Wong Fei Hung, and shortbread with shredded radish in Benbang.
This time, the banquet venue is also in the golden waters of the Bund, so the choice is not only to eat, but also to see the scenery. It is reported that the yacht club has an excellent view, and you can enjoy the beautiful night view of the Bund from any angle when you eat in it. The organizers also took great pains to choose this place, not only to eat enough, but also to hope that the athletes would have a feeling of the magic capital.
But who's here to eat?
Of course, there are.
For example, Su Shen and them, after talking, they concentrated on eating food and enjoying the beautiful scenery.
Su Shen also took a few pictures with his camera, and prepared to send them to Lin Yanfang over there by MMS when the time came.
The dinner ended at half past nine.
After everyone said goodbye one by one, Liu Xiang and Yao Ming left Su Shen, and the three top domestic athletes were together, and they talked silently for dozens of minutes before leaving.
Before leaving, Liu Xiang told Su Shen: "Hey, tomorrow I will be the commentator of the Golden Match." ”
"Come on, Tim."
"Okay, I'll do my best, Brother Xiang." Su Shen said with a smile: "When explaining me, remember to use a lot of handsome words." ”
The two of them disembarked separately in laughter.
Go back and get ready for tomorrow's mission.
