On the evening of August 29th, Seoul time, Daegu Stadium.

After Wei En won the men's 100m championship at the World Championships in Daegu yesterday, Chinese track and field fans tonight also turned on the TV with great anticipation and watched the live broadcast of the World Championships on CCTV Sports Channel on time.

At 21:25, the men's 110-meter hurdles final, which countless Chinese and even Asian audiences are watching, begins.

Before the Daegu World Championships, Liu Xiang's IAAF points ranking was not low, ranking third behind David Oliver and Dairon Robles.

In addition to the above three people, Jason Richardson, another famous player from the United States, is not much worse than Liu Xiang in points.

It can be said that Oliver, Robles, Liu Xiang and Richardson all have the ability to compete for the championship.

However, after the semi-finals, Sun Haiping said in an interview with a CCTV reporter: "Although Richardson advanced in 13 seconds and 11 seconds, his level is basically there, and it is impossible to enter 13 seconds; Oliver is strong, but

He was not in good condition at all during this competition, and his performance was very average and not enough; the real final is still between Liu Xiang and Robles!"

At the same time, all the media, including IAAF officials, are already excitedly exaggerating a concept: 12 seconds 87, 12 seconds 88, and 12 seconds 89. These are the three best results in the history of the 110-meter hurdles, respectively.

Belongs to Robles, Liu Xiang, and Oliver.

And these three people actually lived in the same era and appeared in the same arena. Such a game can be called "the greatest showdown in the history of the 110-meter hurdles."

No one realizes that the greatest will turn into the dirtiest until the end of the game, some just expect it.

Even, in order to set off the "greatest", there are two more American masters on both sides of lanes 4, 5, and 6 where Oliver, Robles, and Liu Xiang are: Richardson in lane 3, and Richardson in lane 7.

Dow Merritt.

All the heroes gathered together, and there were many masters.

Perhaps because of his poor condition, Oliver's performance in front of the camera was a bit nervous and not natural enough.

Robles pretended to be funny for the camera, but no one knew that there was arrogance hidden under this seemingly casual face.

Liu Xiang showed a murderous look that he had not seen for a long time. He did not make faces in front of the camera or interact with the audience as before. After experiencing such a trough, his character has become more calm.

There were even more Chinese spectators waving the five-star red flag in the stadium than last night. After all, no one thought before the game that Wei En would win the championship, and Liu Xiang has been famous for many years. He has been the number one track and field brother in Asia for many years. In the field of Asian sports

In fact, the only one who can surpass him in popularity is Yao Ming.

The camera finally moved to the side, and Liu Xiang let out a heavy breath, his mind still echoing with the words that defender En came to the lounge to talk to him alone at the end of the semifinals.

Liu Xiang really didn't believe what Wei En said. When he entered a trough, Robles also encouraged him.

In the 2008 Yanjing Olympics, Robles had the ability to break the Olympic record, but he gave up on the last two steps. At that time, many people said that he was "paying tribute to Liu Xiang."

Liu Xiang didn't take the initiative to ask about this matter, but he also had this idea. At that time, he felt that Roberts was indeed an opponent and friend with outstanding strength and good moral character.

Robles, would you really do something like that?

Liu Xiang looked at Robles beside him expressionlessly, and Robles also noticed Liu Xiang's gaze and turned to look at each other, only to find that there was a vague murderous look in Liu Xiang's eyes.

Robles suddenly felt a little flustered, but he didn't want Liu Xiang to notice anything, so he responded with a smile to Liu Xiang, then quickly turned his head back, touched his nose, and pushed up his glasses.

Doubts, confusion, disbelief... countless complex emotions lingered in his mind. Liu Xiang quickly closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he heard the "on your marks" command from the starter, he slowly opened his mouth.

Open your eyes...

Liu Xiang felt that he had never been so angry. Okay, you want to play dirty, right?

Then come directly!

"set——"

"Snapped--!"

No one jumped the gun and the race went on smoothly.

The moment the gun rang out, the atmosphere in the Daegu Stadium instantly became heated, and the cheers and cheers of tens of thousands of spectators suddenly played a melody for the athletes to move forward like war drums.

The current 110-meter hurdles record and 60-meter hurdles record both belong to Dairon Robles, and his proud starting technique helped him quickly take the lead and take the lead in conquering the first hurdle.

During the 2004 Athens Olympics, Liu Xiang was still a forward-oriented player, but as his skills in hurdles became increasingly sophisticated, he gradually became a late-ranked athlete.

Especially in February this year, he only started to change his eight-step climbing technique to seven-step climbing technique, so at the first hurdle, Liu Xiang was obviously behind Robles.

When Liu Xiang and other players landed, Robles' first step between columns 1 and 2 was already in mid-air, which shows how strong his future ability is!

David Oliver made a mistake when attacking the first hurdle. He obviously lost his balance after landing. His technique and mentality between hurdles have always been weaknesses. He made a mistake in the first hurdle. David Oliver made a mistake in the first hurdle.

Oliver is no longer able to compete for the championship.

After capturing the second hurdle, Robles was nearly one position ahead of Liu Xiang and Richardson. If this was placed in the 100-meter event, he would have to rely on his stronger top speed and later range if he wanted to overtake.

Speed ​​endurance ability.

But in the 110-meter hurdles, in addition to flat running ability, there are two very important factors: the speed of attacking the hurdles and the rhythm between the hurdles!

In terms of attacking speed, Robles is slightly better than Liu Xiang, but his current lead mainly relies on his strong starting ability.

In fact, Liu Xiang's starting ability was also very strong during his peak period. However, changing his hurdle technique will always have a certain impact. Fortunately, Liu Xiang's hurdle technique is unparalleled in the world!

After conquering the first three hurdles, Liu Xiang's special skills began to be revealed. His unparalleled hurdle skills and smooth running on the road helped him gradually narrow the gap between him and Robles.

When attacking the fifth hurdle, the gap between Liu Xiang and Robles was already very small. The two attacked the hurdles almost at the same time. It was just that Liu Xiang's attack speed was slightly inferior, so Robles finished first.

Landed.

But soon, Liu Xiang relied on his unparalleled hurdle skills to equalize this slight disadvantage again. When attacking the sixth hurdle, the two finally returned to the same "starting line."

In the seventh hurdle, the two people still repeated the previous "scene" and attacked the hurdle at the same time. Then Robles took the lead in completing the attack, but Liu Xiang quickly made adjustments. When attacking the eighth hurdle, Liu Xiang

There is even an extremely small lead.

Seeing such a picture, it is not difficult for countless professionals who are paying attention to this game to see that with Liu Xiang's skills between hurdles and late-course ability, there is no suspense about his overtaking!

Inter-hurdle technology focuses on adjustment. By adjusting the landing point of running on the way, the jumping point of attacking the hurdles, and the landing point of completing the attacking hurdles, we can create a good rhythm of attacking the hurdles and running rhythm on the way, and make up for the ability of flat running and attack.

Lack of bar speed.

After capturing the eighth hurdle, Liu Xiang knew that if Robles really wanted to do something against him, he would have to find an opportunity at the last two hurdles.

But how could he let Robles get his wish when he was already on guard?

So when he captured the eighth hurdle, Liu Xiang deliberately adjusted his landing point so that his flat running path would veer to the right.

Liu Xiang knew that lane 7 on his right was American athlete Aris Merritt, who was said to be a fan of himself and Alan Johnson. His hurdle skills were not very good. From the first hurdle, Liu Xiang was already

He can no longer be seen.

This is the best thing to do, because adjusting your path in this situation will not affect Merritt.

The three steps between the hurdles were completed quickly, and when he came to the ninth hurdle, Robles knew that he could no longer "sit back and wait for death". If Liu Xiang was not interfered with, he wanted to achieve the second historical Grand Slam in the men's 110-meter hurdles.

The only goal is to "fetch water from a bamboo basket but come up empty-handed".

There are world records; there are Olympic champions.

Now, like Liu Xiang in 2007, Robles is only one short of the World Championships, and he has been waiting for this championship for four years. This time, he will never allow anyone to hinder him from winning!

At the ninth hurdle, while Robles was conquering the hurdle, he violently thrust out with his right hand.

In fact, he had already done this action once when attacking the eighth hurdle, but at that time his path was to the left and the range of movement of his hands was not large, so he was lonely.

After capturing the eighth hurdle, Robles also deliberately adjusted his path so that he could be slightly closer to Liu Xiang's sixth lane than before.

In the first seven hurdles, Robles's hands were always in the shape of fists, but now they are loosened into palms, and the pulling action is so obvious. When the replay is played after the game, everyone knows what he is thinking.

But in order to achieve the Grand Slam and surpass Liu Xiang in all aspects, he has lost his mind!

But what Robles didn't expect was that he was originally going to pull Liu Xiang's arm to hinder him when he landed, but his action... failed!

How can it be?!

Roberts was stunned for a moment, but the tenth column came in an instant. This time he tried to make another small move according to his original plan, but still failed.

Robles looked to his right in surprise and saw Liu Xiang's sarcastic expression.

"The game begins! Attack the first hurdle quickly, and Robles takes a slight lead."

"Liu Xiang is currently in second place. He is rushing forward according to his own rhythm. Liu Xiang speeds up!"

"It's close! It's close! Liu Xiang is tying with Robles!"

"Complete the overtaking in the last hurdle! Liu Xiang!! World Championship Champion!!!"

"In the cold country of Daegu, the king returns! After four years, Liu Xiang returns to the top of the world!"

In the auditorium, Wei En waved the long pole in his hand and led the Chinese audience in the Daegu Stadium to dance the five-star red flag in their hands.

Liu Xiang, the Asian flying star who once brought unlimited hope to Asian track and field and another world hurdler after Alan Johnson, finally returned to the top of the world after three years of silence!

Wei En feels that the cheers of the audience in Daegu Stadium today are even more enthusiastic than when he won the championship yesterday, but it is not surprising. After all, Liu Xiang was the top player in Asia and the number one track and field brother in Asia other than China, especially in East Asia.

and Southeast Asia, has a huge fan base.

Four years ago in Osaka, when Liu Xiang won the championship, Neon TV even put a golden phrase "One of 6.7 billion" on the live broadcast screen, which shows how highly respected Liu Xiang is in Neon.

Today, after experiencing endless pain and doubts, Liu Xiang returned to the top after four years and won a precious World Championship gold medal, proving himself!

Congratulations, Liu Xiang!
Chapter completed!
