It is not that easy to improve from a promising type to a balanced type in two weeks.

On July 22, Wain and Lemaitre rushed to the Mediterranean coast in southeastern France to participate in the Monaco Station of the Diamond League.

At this stop, Wen once again faced world record holder Usain Bolt, and also faced Nesta Carter and Michael Flatt for the first time, as well as the 2004

Olympic runner-up, Francis Obikwelu, born in 1978.

The result was not particularly ideal. Wynn was assigned to Lane 6, right between Nesta Carter and Michael Flatt.

Nesta Carter's forward ability is worthy of the title of "Jamaica Startup Machine". If Wayne did not change his overall rhythm, but maintained his previous forward running style, he might be able to stage a showdown with Nesta Carter.

A fierce showdown for the future.

But after changing the overall rhythm, Wei En will not waste too much energy on the future.

Since Nesta Carter's performance was too fast in the early stages, Wayne had always used him as a reference to control his physical distribution, hoping to try to overtake him later in the game.

But again, it is impossible for Wayne to maximize his condition every time, especially in the first game after changing the overall rhythm.

In the end, Wei En finished third in the men's 100-meter race in Monaco with a time of 9.95 seconds, and Nesta Carter ranked second with a time of 9.90 seconds.

The first place was Usain Bolt, who came from behind in the last 10 meters. He ran 9.88 seconds, and the fourth place was Lemaître, who ran 9.97 seconds.

After the game, even before Wei En checked the data provided by the system, he already knew where his problem was.

He had been thinking about this match for a long time, but it turned out that the more he thought about it, the more constrained he would be when it came time for the match.

Because he wanted to make the transition to a balanced direction, he was a little too restrained in his forward efforts. Although this approach did allow him to allocate more energy to the later stages, it was obviously too much.

Data can explain many problems. The system shows that the front and rear range segments of this 9.95 gun are: 6.48 3.47, and the rear 40-meter segments are: 0.86 0.86 0.87 0.88.

At first glance, this segmented data seems to maintain the rear-end speed very well, but there is a very serious problem!

Starting from last year's Guangzhou Asian Games final, when Wei En ran 9.98 seconds, his fastest 10-meter split times have all been 0.85, either in the 50-60-meter split or in the 60-70-meter split.

But this time, due to Qianqian's insufficient acceleration, his top speed in the 10-meter section only reached 0.86!

You must know that the wind speed of the Monaco shot reached 1.0m/s. Under such wind speed conditions, it is obviously unreasonable that Wei En did not run a top speed of 0.85 in the 10-meter section.

So this also made Wei En realize that although he wanted to move in the direction of balance, he still couldn't hold back his future too much.

We must learn a lesson and this situation must not happen again next time.

Definitely next time!

------------------

After participating in the Monaco leg of the Diamond League, Wain and Lemaitre returned to Paris to continue training, awaiting the arrival of the London leg of the Diamond League.

During this period, Lemaître participated in the Albi French Track and Field Championships. With the help of the IAAF's highest legal wind speed of 2.0m/s, he once again broke the French national record in 9.90 seconds, causing huge excitement throughout Europe.

sensation.

If he were a black man and wanted to cause a sensation throughout Europe with his time of 9.90 seconds, it would definitely be fanciful.

But Lemaître is a white man, so he became a hero in the hearts of white people in Europe!

9.90 seconds is the fastest time currently achieved by athletes of other races except black athletes of West African descent!

After this game, Lemaitre is not going to compete in London. In the coming days, he will have to work hard with his teammates from the French national team to prepare for the Daegu World Championships.

On August 4, Wei En arrived in London by plane, preparing to participate in the Diamond League, the last stop before the World Championships in Daegu.

The men's 100-meter race at the Diamond League London Station is not a diamond event. No matter whether you win the championship or the runner-up, there are no diamond points.

But there are not many experts coming to compete, because the London station, like the Birmingham station, uses a two-gun system, which can be used as a preview of the three-gun world competition to a certain extent.

After Wain got off the plane and arrived at the Crystal Palace Stadium in London, he learned that Asafa Powell might have to withdraw from the game.

Asafa Powell is 29 years old this year and can be considered a senior track and field athlete, so injuries are inevitable.

As early as May 7 at the Kingston Invitational, Powell only ran 21.40 seconds in the 200-meter race and ranked eighth due to a strained thigh muscle.

In the 100-meter race at the Rabat Challenge on June 5 this year, Powell only ran 36.13 seconds due to injury.

This result was later dubbed "the first time a human has broken 37 seconds" by some Chinese track and field fans because of what Yang Jian said at the men's 4x100m final in London, "Humanity has broken 37 seconds again!"

"off".

On July 30, 6 days before the start of Diamond League London, Powell ran 9.86 (2.0m/s) to win the Budapest Grand Prix, but it also caused a groin strain and therefore withdrew from Diamond League London.

stand.

As for whether Powell can still participate in the Daegu World Championships, it is still unknown to the outside world. But Wei En knows that it is impossible to see Powell in Daegu.

Although it was not a diamond project, Wayne was still caught by many reporters and asked some explosive questions.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Those questions all revolve around him and Blake.

At 18:00 on August 6th, Wain came to the Crystal Palace Stadium from the hotel. Before the "London Bowl" was built, this stadium was the National Stadium of England. It has always been the training venue for the English national track and field team, and it is also the annual training venue.

The venue for the IAAF London Diamond League (2010 Avantgarde Grand Prix).

Today's Diamond League London leg of the men's 100-meter race has two rounds. The preliminaries will be held at 19:40 and the finals will be held at 21:00.

During the warm-up, Wayne took the initiative to say hello to Blake.

It's not much different from Blake in my impression. Although he wants to catch up and surpass Bolt at this time, his character is not that aggressive outside the competition.

Wayne is actually very tired of the atmosphere created by the media. Physical confrontation rarely occurs in track and field sports. It is not basketball, football, rugby, boxing, or free fighting. How can there be so many conflicts between athletes?

I don't want to be such a good friend with Blake, but at least I don't want to be the kind of enemy who never gets along with each other.

[Five Tigers from 100 Meters] Each of these five people has a very unique character, and each person's life experience is legendary.

After resurrecting his life, Wei En wanted to know more about them.

------------------

It will be 21:00 on August 6th, London time, and 5:00am on August 7th, Yanjing time.

Although Bolt and Powell are not participating, and although it is not a diamond event, tonight's men's 100m final is still the most watched event in the London Diamond League today.

The auditorium at the Crystal Palace Stadium was packed, with 15,000 spectators eager to attend.

In the men's 100-meter preliminaries about an hour ago, Yohan Blake and Wei En advanced to the finals as the first place in the first group and the second place in the second group respectively, with scores of 10.14 (-0.6m/s) and 10.08 respectively.

(0.0m/s).

The results in the preliminaries were all based on a random guess, and both the live audience in the Crystal Palace Stadium and the TV viewers watching the live broadcast knew this very well.

Judging from the performance in the preliminaries and the previous games, the champion of tonight's men's 100m final belongs to no more than three people: Yohan Blake, Nesta Carter, and Wayne.

When it comes to the ownership of the championship, Yohan Blake naturally has the highest support rate, followed by Nesta Carter, and then Wayne.

Yanjing, dormitory of the national track and field team.

Five o'clock in the morning should normally be the time for a sound sleep, but Su Bingtian, Zhang Peimeng and others had already made an appointment to watch today's Diamond League London live broadcast.

In the living room of Su Bingtian's dormitory, Su Bingtian, Lao Yi, and Zhang Peimeng were crowded on the sofa in the middle. Xie Zhenye and Zheng Dongsheng were sitting next to them with small stools. Behind the sofa were team doctor Zhu Zhiwei, team leader Li Wen, and others, who were supporting the sofa with both hands.

After this game, it was time for Wei En to return to China for final relay training, so the members of the relay team were very concerned about this game.

At this time, in the live TV screen, the voice of commentator Yang Jian was heard:

"Then let's look at the upcoming men's 100m final. This is the last Diamond League match before the World Championships in Daegu, but it is a pity that Bolt did not sign up to participate."

"In addition, before the preliminaries of the men's 100 meters, Asafa Powell temporarily withdrew from the competition. He actually came to London, but his old injury recurred during the warm-up, so it is also a pity."

"However, such a competition will also provide an opportunity for the athletes currently standing on the field, because as the outdoor season unfolds, Bolt and Powell are getting better and better, and they obviously have a big gap with other players.

gap."

"Let's take a look at lane 1. This is Keston Bradman from Trinidad and Tobago, with a personal best time of 9.93 seconds."

"Lane 2, this is Terrell Kimmons from the United States, with a personal best time of 9.95 seconds."

"Lane 3, this is Trinidad and Tobago's famous player, Yanjing Olympics silver medalist - Richard Thompson."

"Lane 4, this is one of the favorites to win this game, Yohan Blake from Jamaica. I heard Wayne give him a nickname before, called [The Beast]."

"Lane 5, this is Nesta Carter, the 'starting machine' of Jamaica. His personal best time is 9.78 seconds, and he has also run 9.90 seconds this season."

"Track 6, this is the person that everyone has been waiting for for a long time, who insists on sitting in front of the TV at five o'clock in the morning, our country's player, the Asian record holder - Wei En!"

When he came to London to participate in the competition, Wei En felt that his popularity seemed to be much lower than when he competed in France.

Since he trained with the French national team during his time in Europe, and his performance in the two games he participated in in France was very impressive, the French audience still likes him quite a lot.

But if it were England, the situation would be different.

So when it was the host's turn to read his name, it was obvious that the audience's enthusiasm was far less than that of Blake and Carter before.

No way, who made Jamaica a member of the Commonwealth?

After all, it's Blake and Carter. How annoying would it be if it were Bolt?

"Line 7 is American star Michael Rogers, lane 8 is Daniel Bailey from Antigua and Barbuda."

"Starting from the Diamond League Magic City Station in May, Wei En has participated in a total of 5 international 100-meter competitions and broke the 10-second barrier 4 times. It can be seen that his competitive condition is very good."

"But today he has to face Nesta Carter, who defeated him once not long ago, and Blake, the runner-up in this year's Jamaica Trials. At present, the strength gap between the three of them is not very big, and the championship will eventually belong to him.

Who is that? It’s quite exciting..."
