Chapter 170: Fight Gatling Again!

The next day.

After Yang Hao had breakfast, he sat on the sofa and chatted on the phone.

It's not chatting with Tian Mi, it's about being interviewed by phone.

The other party is a reporter from the sports newspaper.

The call was hands-free, and Wang Shengnan also recorded it.

This is requested by the agent Lu Hao, and he tries to keep a backup when he is interviewed by phone.

In order to prevent reporters from maliciously editing and creating adverse effects.

Reporter: First of all, thank you for accepting my interview.

"You're welcome, I've read your newspapers, and I've often praised me, so I'm the one who should say thank you."

Yang Hao didn't hold it, just like chatting between friends, which also made the reporter on the other side a lot easier.

Reporter: Congratulations on winning the championship in Paris and setting a new record, which is a historic achievement in Chinese track and field. Did you ever think before the race that you could run a time of 9.89 seconds?

Yang Hao organized the language in his mind and replied: "I thought that I would win the championship, but I didn't think about the result of 9.89 seconds, after all, how much I can run depends on the state of the race, even if a small detail is not done well, it will have a great impact on the performance."

Reporter: Indeed, the state is too important! Paris is your first match in the Golden League, and it is also your first time to go abroad to participate in the athletics league, are you nervous before the competition? If I look at the latest statistics, there were more people at the Stade de France yesterday.

"I wasn't nervous, I was excited, I loved the atmosphere, the tsunami, and it made me more motivated to do well."

Reporter: Justin Gatlin will also be involved in the next stop in Rome, do you have the confidence to beat him?

"It's hard to say, because Gatling's hard power is stronger, but the game is not only about hard power, but also depends on the performance on the spot, so you don't know until the end of the game."

Reporter: Come on! As an aside, after the race in Paris, you did a couple of front flips, which you hadn't done before, were you too excited?

"Haha, I was suddenly interested! Also, the forehand flip wasn't dangerous for me, so I did it."

Reporter: Is this your exclusive victory celebration?

When the reporter said this, Yang Hao was stunned for a moment.

He hadn't really thought about the victory celebration.

Now that I think about it, it seems like it can be.

It's simple, and it's easy to impress the audience.

Thinking of this, Yang Hao responded, "Sort of."

Reporter: Last question, what are your goals for this year's World Championships?

"There is no goal, or the goal is to win, no matter what the game is, I will go for the championship and will work hard for it."

......

After the interview, Wang Shengnan saved the recording, and then said, "Do you really plan to use your front flip as a celebratory action?"

"Why, isn't it handsome enough? And it's not just the front hand flip, it's a handsome starting hand after the flip."

Wang Shengnan rolled his eyes: "Handsome and handsome, you are the most handsome!"

"Hey, hey."

Yang Hao got up and twisted his waist: "It's time for us to go, right?"

"Well, a ticket in two hours."

After speaking, Wang Shengnan raised his eyebrows: "Let's go to Rome, it's different from when we came to Paris!"

Because of the victory in Paris this time, the importance of the Rome Organizing Committee to Yang Hao has instantly increased by a notch.

….

Originally, because Asafa Powell did not participate, there was only Gatling in Rome, so that in the eyes of many spectators, there was basically no suspense about the championship, so some people may not be bother to buy tickets to watch live.

It's different now.

Yang Hao's sudden outburst, a time of 9.89 seconds was enough to threaten Gatling.

This adds a lot of suspense to the 100m race in Rome.

Is it Yang Hao's dark horse in the end, or is Gatling defending the glory of the Olympic champion?

Rome has advertised this as one of its selling points

also invited Yang Hao to participate in the pre-game press conference.

And this is all earned by Yang Hao by strength!

If it hadn't been for the breaking meeting record of 9.89 seconds, there would have been no such change.

If Yang Hao climbs to the top of the world 100 meters one day, the treatment will be better.

If he is a Grand Slam player who is a world record, Olympic or world champion, he will be invited to participate in the Golden League, Grand Prix or Super Grand Prix.

And there's an appearance fee.

After Usain Bolt dominated the 100 meters and 200 meters, the appearance fee for participating in the Diamond League reached 300,000 US dollars, and the magic gold Grand Prix even offered a sky-high price of 500,000 US dollars, and only ran 200 meters.

That's influence.

You know, Bolt was born in Jamaica and doesn't have a huge market behind him.

If Yang Hao reaches the top of the world 100 meters and completes the Grand Slam of the World Championships, the Olympics and the world record, the influence will only be greater.

"Actually, I prefer to be quieter, look at Liu Xiang, who is harassed by the media all day long, training and rest are affected, and it is difficult to maintain a good condition."

Yang Hao is not pretending, he really thinks so.

But he also knows that only by being chased by the media will his popularity and influence in Europe and the United States expand.

There's no way to refuse everything.

"It's a real problem, and when you get to Rome, apart from the official press conference, the rest of the interviews are as much as possible after the game."

"Hmm."

......

Rome.

Yang Hao did not go with Liu Xiang.

Because Liu Xiang went to the Lausanne Super Prix, and he didn't.

The main thing is that the time is too tight.

Paris takes place on July 1st, Lausanne Grand Prix on July 5th and Rome on July 8th.

Such a rush to play a high-intensity game will undoubtedly increase the risk of injury.

So Yang Hao didn't go.

In fact, he wanted to persuade Liu Xiang that it was okay to train with competitions, but too many high-intensity competitions were not a good thing.

Injuries and illnesses are caused by excessive fatigue and accumulation over time.

By the time it was discovered, it was too late.

But thinking that Liu Xiang's participation was the result of his discussion with the coach, and he was an outsider, Yang Hao did not speak in the end.

Aerodrome.

Yang Hao was surrounded by a group of reporters in the hall, both domestic and foreign, as well as local.

There are about twenty in total.

They all waited here after learning about his flight.

After a few flashes of the camera card.

Yang Hao said, "Don't worry, everyone, ask one by one."

After speaking, he pointed to the reporter of the central road: "You come first."

After all, it is your own family, and you will be given priority.

The CCTV reporter was also very happy: "Thank you, Yang Hao, congratulations on winning the championship in Paris! Will you play in all the matches of the Golden League? Do you want to hit the million-dollar jackpot?"

….

Yang Hao thought for a while and said, "I personally want to have an impact, but whether I can participate in all the competitions depends on the situation after the World Universiade."

Later, he called a local reporter in Rome.

Reporter: Yang, do you have the confidence to beat Gatling?

Hearing this, Yang Hao had a smile on his face: "No matter which game, no matter how strong the opponent is, I will always have confidence in myself!"

Reporter: "Yang, is 9.89 seconds your full strength?" Is there any reservation?"

「......」

After briefly answering a few questions, Yang Hao took a special car to the designated hotel under the leadership of the event staff.

......

Athletics field.

A 60-meter-long 10° ramp.

Yang Hao was shirtless and jumped on one leg to climb the slope.

In addition to this, there is an all-out sprint climb.

It's about exercising your leg muscles to make them stronger and stronger.

Terminal.

"Whew....... Hoo ......"

Yang Hao gasped heavily, and the beads of sweat on his body kept rolling down.

But it looks inexplicably handsome.

At this time, Wang Shengnan said, "It's okay, let's rest for a while."

"Hmm."

Yang Hao also knows that training should be done in moderation, after all, it is now the competition cycle, in addition to the Golden League, there are also World Championships and World Universiade, and now it is impossible to get injured.

He then descended the ramp and returned to the sidelines.

After wiping the sweat, I picked up the water and took two sips.

Li Heng asked, "How does this training method feel?"

"It's okay, I think it should be useful, and you can write it into the plan during winter training."

In the past, Yang Hao had only practiced hill climbing and downhill running, but he would not sprint with all his strength when climbing, and he had never tried to climb with one leg.

This is a method of training for Asafa Powell.

Today he tried it.

It feels pretty good.

"Okay, then I'll make a note of it first, and I'll see the effect when I get through the winter training."

At this moment, Wang Shengnan said in surprise, "Asafa Powell is injured."

Li Heng and Yang Hao looked at her at the same time.

"What's the situation?"

"A domestic journalist who went to Lausanne told me that Asafa Powell suffered a groin strain during training and has publicly stated that he will not participate in Lausanne anymore, and as for the World Championships, he has not yet said it."

[I have known an old book friend for ten years to recommend to me to chase books, @

The reporter asked Xiang Gatlin: "What do you think of Yang Hao's victory in Paris? Who do you think will be the 100m champion tomorrow?"

Gatling: "Oh, to be honest, I'm amazed at Yang's progress! He's strong now, but it's not that easy to win against me, and the champion will only be me! Even if Asafa Powell comes!"

Immediately after, the reporter looked at Yang Hao again and asked him what he thought.

Yang Hao is naturally untimid: "Gatling is a senior, I am very happy and looking forward to being able to compete with him again."

At this point, he changed his words: "Of course, I will be happier if I defeat him!" I also believe that this day will come, and it may be tomorrow!"

......

July 8th.

Domestic.

There is a lot of news about the Rome leg of the Golden League in the sports section of the major portals.

[Rome Station is about to fire, Yang Hao will fight the world champion Gatlin again! ] 】

[Johnson retired with an injury, Liu Xiang is expected to win the championship in Rome! ] 】

[World Championships preview, can Yang Hao defeat Gatling? ] 】

It's not just online.

The central road was also warmed up.

The time of the game is 4 o'clock in the morning on the 9th, which is relatively friendly, because many people are ready to go to bed early and set an alarm clock to watch the game.

Imperial University.

Girls' dormitory.

"There's a Yang Hao competition at four o'clock tomorrow morning, Mimi, are you going to set the alarm clock again and get up and watch it?"

Tian Mi didn't deny it: "What's wrong?"

Her expression was not relaxed.

Unlike the Paris race, the Rome race has Gatlin, and it must be difficult for Yang Hao to win the championship.

"No, let's watch it together, and the world champion Gatlin, it's going to be exciting, and I'll be called up when the time comes."

"Come on, I can't wake up when you sleep so dead."

There are a lot of people who have an idea with Tian Mi.

Many fans of Yang Hao, even if they are very confident in him, do not dare to say that they will definitely win Gatling.

After all, he is an Olympic champion, and he was 9.85 seconds last year, so his strength may increase this year.

However, it is precisely because of this that this game is good.

It's interesting when there's suspense.

There is no suspense in the game, even if Yang Hao can win the championship, it is difficult to arouse too many people's desire to watch the game, unless it is the World Series.

….

"Brothers, how many people watched the game in the early morning?"

"Me! Go to bed early at night and watch the match between Yang Hao and Liu Xiang in the early morning."

"I'm a little nervous about fighting Gatling again, I don't know if I can win."

"What are you worried about, it's normal to lose, it's awesome to win!"

"Haha, that's what I said."

"It's a big suspense."

"I can't wait, time flies so slowly."

......

3:50 a.m. imperial capital time.

Yang Road.

"Sports competition is like this, no one knows what the result will be until the end of the game, I hope Liu Xiang can adjust his condition as soon as possible, the intensity of the 8 days and 3 matches is too great, and he needs to rest well. Next is today's most popular competition, the men's 100-meter trapeze battle, China's star Yang Hao and Olympic champion Gatlin compete together again after nearly a year, looking forward to his ......good performance."

In the men's 110-meter hurdles just now, Liu Xiang did not play well and missed the championship again, winning the second place with a time of 13.24 seconds.

This is the worst result of the year, and there is a rare phenomenon of "kicking the hurdles" and a rare phenomenon of "rhythm between the hurdles".

There is no doubt that it has to do with the state.

Three high-intensity races in eight days is definitely a devil's schedule, and it is not surprising that there is a lot of physical burden.

Sideline.

Yang Hao is doing his final warm-up

, ready to debut.

It's already 9:50 p.m. and the temperature isn't high.

So it's even more important to warm up.

Meanwhile.

Domestic.

Many people were woken up by the sound of the alarm bell, sleepy-eyed and got out of bed and turned on the TV to watch the game.

Among them is Tian Mi.

and her roommates.

"Ahh Woo......"

The roommate yawned, walked up behind Tian Mi, and hugged her: "Mimi wife, how long will the game start?"

"It's coming soon, and the players will be on the scene soon."

"Okay, I hope Senior Yang Hao will be more powerful and kill Gatling."

Another roommate said, "I have lemon here, would you like to have some to refresh yourself?"

"Give me some."

Soon, the 3 roommates all sat next to Tian Mi.

Because it's summer, it's cool to wear, either a small vest or a small nightdress.

The fair-skinned long legs are also eye-catching.

"Mimi, your legs are so beautiful! Why don't you wear a short skirt in that case, and the return rate is guaranteed to be 100%."

Tian Mi usually doesn't wear a short skirt, at most it's the kind of skirt that reaches the knees.

She rolled her eyes, "Why do you want to wear it for someone else?" I'm only wearing it for my future boyfriend!"

"Tsk, future boyfriend? Isn't it on the screen in a moment?"

"you!"

That's when it happened.

Yang Jian's voice sounded.

"Okay, the athletes who participated in the men's 100m race at the IAAF Golden League Rome have already appeared, and the 100m flyer battle is about to begin."

In the screen, there are also 8 black skins and 1 yellow skin.

Seeing this, Tian Mi's roommate pouted: "A group of stupid big blacks, it's still Yang Haoshuai!" The more you look at it, the more handsome it becomes!"

"Xiaohui, is it too much for you to express your admiration for Yang Hao in front of Mimi."

"I can't help it, Mimi, is this good, you are bigger, I am small, and you will be a sister in the future."

….

"Count me in, I'll be the third!"

Seeing that her roommate was getting more and more outrageous, Tian Mi blushed and spitted: "Phew, you guys are too much!"

"Hahaha."

Meanwhile.

The scene of the competition.

Yang Hao came to the starting line and took off his coat and trousers.

When the temperature is low, this is the only way to maintain body temperature.

He then took out a string and used it to determine the distance between the runner and the starting line.

After finishing it, I stepped on it for a test run.

Make sure it's okay and walk back slowly.

At the moment, the stands were filled with spectators.

The whistles and shouts were endless, and the atmosphere was very lively.

are all looking forward to the upcoming 100-meter trapeze battle.

"The ninth lane is Italy's local player Corio, who is competing as the host country, and his strength is relatively weak...... In the fifth lane is Justin Gatlin, who won last year's Athens Olympic final in 9.85 seconds, but this year he still has a great performance."

"The fourth path is Yang Hao from our Huaxia! A week earlier, he won the Golden League in Paris with a new meet record of 9.89 seconds, as well as a national record and an Asian record. Today is the first time he has played Gatlin in almost a year, and whether he can succeed in the challenge will depend on the end of the match."

Yang Jian's voice also carried anticipation.

It's Gatling, after all.

If Yang Hao can defeat him, it will be a real battle to become famous.

From now on, he will become a world 100-meter star at the same level as Gatlin and Asafa Powell.

The scene of the competition.

「on-your-rks!」

The voices of everyone in place were broadcast throughout the audience.

The men's 100m battle is about to begin.

Yang Hao jumped on the spot twice, and then waved his arms again, making his body as excited as possible.

Today's game, although there are not as many spectators as in Paris.

But the opponent is Gatling.

Yang Hao was equally excited.

Because he longs to defeat the strong!

Gatling is currently one.

The stronger the opponent, the more excited he becomes.

Then, Yang Hao leaned down and squatted down, and stepped on the runner with both feet in turn.

Immediately after, the two referees observed back and forth, confirmed that there was no problem, and then signaled to the referee who gave the order.

The next second.

「set!」

The ready command sounded.

Yang Hao immediately made a starting posture, took a deep breath, and waited intently for the starting gun to sound.

At this moment, the audience, whether it is live or in front of the TV, unconsciously holds their breath.

Especially Tian Mi.

With both hands clasped together, he looked nervously at the screen.

"Smack!"

The starting gun rang out.

The Olympic Stadium in Rome went from quiet to boiling in an instant.

However.

The next second a gunshot rang out again.

Someone rushed.

"Phew!

There was a loud shout from the stands.

"The Jamaican player Flatt in lane 7 ran away, I don't know if he was too nervous, I hope Yang Hao won't be affected too much."

It would be false to say that it was not affected, after all, the second rush will be punished.

In this case, everyone will start conservatively.

Inevitably, it will affect the grades.

Scene.

Yang Hao twisted his neck, took two deep breaths, and adjusted his state.

….

Then walk back to the starting line.

His eyes are still firm, and in this game, he must beat Gatlin.

Soon.

The voice of preparation rang out again.

「set!」

"Smack!"

The starting gun rang out.

Yang Hao reacted instantly, pushed his hands off the ground, and stepped on his feet hard, as if he was stepping on the bullet yellow, and his body was directly "bounced" out.

Immediately after, he landed on his toes and swung his arms to accelerate forward.

"Game on!"

Yang Jian's voice became excited: "Yang Hao was not affected too much, and the start was very good."

"Gatlin had a good start as well."

"The two are neck and neck."

In front of the TV.

Tian Mi didn't speak, but the roommates next to her were shouting and cheering for Yang Hao.

"Come on, senior!"

"Come on!"

"Come on!"

30 meters.

Yang Hao began to raise his head, and at this moment, Gatling next to him was almost the same as him.

40 meters.

The body is completely upright.

Yang Hao and Gatling are still side by side, and the two of them have begun to lead the others.

This also means that this game has become a stage for the two of them.

The audience's attention was also on the two.

"Yang Hao and Gatling are still side by side!"

"Yang Hao speed up!"

"Speed up!"

60 meters.

The situation on the field has changed.

Yang Hao began to take the lead.

"Yang Hao, Yang Hao surpassed Gatling!"

"Gatling is chasing, Yang Hao resists!"

"Widen the gap!"

"Yang Hao!"

80 meters.

At this moment, Yang Hao's speed began to decline, but Gatlin fell more than him.

So just after 80 meters, the situation on the field changed again.

Yang Hao flashed as if he flashed, and instantly "flashed" forward for a short distance.

"Yang Hao! Yang Hao expanded the lead!"

"The championship is just around the corner!"

"Hold on!"

"Rush the line!"

At this moment, Yang Hao lowered his head and pressed the line and crossed the finish line.

And Gatlin followed.

"Win! Yang Hao won Gatling!"

"The champion is Yang Hao!"

"After nearly a year, Yang Hao fought Gatling again, and this time he defeated Gatling! Defeated Olympic champion Gatlin!"

Yang Jian's voice was extremely excited.

Compared to the race in Paris, this match is obviously more golden.

After all, there are strong opponents.

In front of the screen.

"Ah! Win! Yang Hao won!"

Tian Mi's roommate cheered.

And Tian Mi was also excited and her little face was flushed, and she was very happy.

"Mimi, your boyfriend is awesome!"

Tian Mi: ???

At this time, the results of this shot were displayed on the big screen.

1, the 4th lane, Yang Hao, Huaxia, reaction 0.146 seconds, score 9.89 seconds

2, lane 5, Gatling, beautiful country, reaction 0.139 seconds, time 9.92 seconds

3, lane 6, Aziz Zachary, Ghana, reaction 0.159 seconds, time 10.03 seconds

......

"9.89 seconds! Yang Hao ran a time of 9.89 seconds again! Equalize your own personal best record! He's in such good shape! This time, when the starting reaction was behind Gatlin, we still beat him!"

"Two consecutive Golden League titles! Ran 9.90 seconds twice! Today we defeated Olympic champion Gatlin! We also have the world's top 100m athletes in China!"

"From the Middle School Games, to the City Games, to the Olympic Games, and now, Yang Hao has always been growing, and more importantly, he is only 19 years old, he still has room to grow, I believe that Yang Hao will bring us more and more surprises in the future!"

Yang Jian was really emotional.

Two years ago, who would have dared to think that Chinese athletes could win two consecutive championships in the men's 100m event at the IAAF Golden League?

I can't even think about it.

But Yang Hao has done it now.

"Now that he has won two consecutive championships, and there are still 4 stations in the future, can Yang Hao continue to create miracles? Since the Golden League has been held, no men's 100m athlete has been able to share the final prize, and if Yang Hao can do it, he will become the first person in the 100m!"

Hearing Yang Jian's words, the domestic audience in front of the screen also showed an expectant look on their faces.

What kind of glory should that be?
