Chapter 150 Trip to Doha(1/2)
"Good, Justin, it was a good run."
"No, your first seven steps were a bit too long this time, try again!"
"Let's take a look at the difference between your mid-range running skills and the championship model...Justin, remember what I said? The position of the knee joint is not higher, the better..."
"Okay, it seems that you are indeed very tired, so let's take a rest first and continue later."
Florida, Clement, Dennis Mitchell training camp.
On the track and field training ground, a short, thin old white man controlled the mouse and continued to analyze the 3D model of Justin Gatlin.
Justin Gatlin's coach, Dennis Mitchell, stood behind the old white man with some respect and asked some questions from time to time.
Although he is also a very famous coach in the American track and field world, he still seems a little "not good enough" in front of this old white man.
Ralph Vernon Mann, the world's top biomechanics expert and an authoritative representative of American track and field.
This old man's ability in the field of track and field far outweighs his reputation. He is authoritative but approachable. After Dennis Mitchell made an invitation through the American Track and Field Association, it didn't take long for this authoritative leader to come to Florida with his scientific research equipment.
After Justin Gatlin completed this test, he walked to the side to rest under the shade of a tree. At this time, a muscular black man walked into the training camp and walked straight in the direction of Gatlin.
"Hey, Tyson! Why do you have time to come to my place?" Justin Gatlin shouted to him.
The person who came was none other than Tyson Gayin, and his coach was Lance Blauman. The training camp was also set up in Clement. It was not far away and it wouldn’t take much time to move around each other on the same day.
.
"I heard that you invited Mr. Ralphman over, and I wanted to come and take a look." Tyson Gayin walked to Justin Gatlin's side and leaned against the tree trunk.
"Yeah, I didn't expect that Mr. Ralphman could provide me with guidance. With his help, I believe I will be able to return to around 95% of my peak level this year." Justin Gatlin said with confidence,
"What about you? How are you recovering? When are you going to start competing?"
"I'm recovering pretty well. The training data tells me that everything is going in a good direction. But..." Tyson Gayin smiled at himself: "I want to run 9.80 seconds again."
It is estimated that results within 20% will be impossible this year.”
"Take your time." Justin Gatlin said with emotion: "We are already very old. A few injuries can easily have a negative impact on our competitive state. We must not be anxious."
"That's right, you can't be anxious. Protecting your body is the most important thing." Tyson Gayin understands this very well.
"It's important to our profession, but it's also important to life." Justin Gatlin said, stood up, made a crotch lift and joked: "Tyson, I haven't experienced any major injuries. Let me tell you.
When I had a serious groin injury before, would it affect...?"
"You really don't regard yourself as an outsider..."
Tyson Guyon was amused. He is half a year younger than Justin Gatlin. From the appearance, the two of them are naturally similar, but in terms of personality, the younger one is obviously more calm.
"Okay, stop joking. Where is your first stop of the season this year?"
"Doha, Diamond League Doha on May 11."
Justin Gatlin looked towards the west. Six years ago, he ran 9.77 seconds in Doha and tied Asafa Powell's world record. He originally thought he would reach a new peak, but then the doping incident happened and he
He also fell from the peak to the bottom.
In the first two years of his comeback, he felt that he was not strong enough and did not dare to return to that venue.
But now, he feels the time has come.
This year's Diamond League Doha station will be the beginning of his return to the top!
------------------
May 9, Georgetown, Cayman Islands.
Glenn Mills was sitting in the stands, looking at Blake, who won the championship in 9 seconds 84, arousing cheers from the audience.
This is Blake's second 100-meter race this season. From 9.90 (1.6m/s) in the middle of last month to 9.84 (0.5m/s) today, Blake's condition has begun to become hotter.
For a track and field coach, if he has an absolute number one player in the world and a player who is steadily ranked among the top five in the world, then everyone will be happy, right?
But Glenn Mills became increasingly troubled.
Blake's talent is very clear to him. 9.8 seconds will not be his limit. Moreover, he was born in late 1989 and is in his prime. Another of his favorite disciples, Usain Bolt, will be close to 9.8 seconds by the time of the London Olympics.
Turned 26 years old
Bolt's peak came early. He was only 22 or 23 years old in 2008 or 2009. As he grew older and continued high-intensity training and high-level competitions, his body gradually developed various diseases.
Injuries.
In the 2010 season, Bolt lost to Tyson Gayin in the Stockholm Diamond League. It was his first defeat to the American after the World Championships in Osaka.
Subsequently, Glenn Mills took Bolt for a comprehensive examination and found that his back and calf had injuries of varying degrees. If he continues to compete with the injury, it may become difficult to recover in the future.
For the sake of his future, Glenn Mills suspended Bolt's participation plan and announced that he would withdraw from all competitions in the 2010 season to recuperate from his injury.
Judging from the current situation, Bolt's physical condition is still good this season, but compared to Blake, his physical fitness is naturally not as good as that of Blake.
Glenn Mills has always had one goal, and that is to make Usain Bolt the "greatest athlete."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He believes in Bolt's current absolute strength. As long as he can maintain a relatively healthy physical condition, no one can defeat him.
But this does not mean that there will not be people who may defeat him in the future.
Although Tyson Guyon and Asafa Powell are still among the top 100-meter runners in the world, they are relatively old.
Born in 1982, they have turned 30 this year and have no room for improvement. Being able to maintain their level within 9.90 seconds is actually the limit.
But his other outstanding disciple, Blake, still has great room for improvement. When Bolt's body began to decline, Blake was at his peak.
"Coach, my performance today is not bad, right?"
Just as I was thinking about it, Blake had already walked over.
"You did a good job, you always did a good job." Glenn Mills responded calmly, which was his usual speaking style.
Blake took out a towel from his backpack and asked tentatively while wiping his sweat: "Coach, I think with my current level, I can actually go to other regions to participate in higher-level events. Only by fighting against strong players can I fully understand
Only when I reach my competitive state can I continue to improve, right?"
"You don't have to always think about competing with Usain. Anyway, you will eventually meet in the trials and the Olympics..."
"I'm not thinking that I have to compete with Usain," Blake interrupted Mills. "I just think that Usain can go to Europe to participate in the Diamond League, and I can only compete in North and Central America.
Some low-level competitions are not conducive to improving my level."
Blake's words are actually a little unreasonable, because although some competitions in North America and the Caribbean are of lower levels, the level is not necessarily low.
The sprint level in North America and the Caribbean is much higher than that in Europe and Asia. For example, the Georgetown Invitational Tournament that Blake participated in today, although it is an F level in the IAAF event level, the participating athletes are all around 10 seconds or even PB in 10 seconds.
A world-class and near-class player within seconds.
But what Blake said is actually correct. The highest-level track and field events in North America are the Diamond League Eugene Station and New York Station. However, the men's 100 meters in these two events this year are not diamond events, as Wei En has made it clear.
I will not come to North America to compete.
Glenn Mills understood what Blake meant, thought about it in his mind, and felt that his arrangement for Blake was indeed a bit "poor".
After all, Blake is also his disciple. Although he prefers Bolt, if he is too partial, there is no guarantee that Blake will not "run away from home."
It is actually difficult to hold a bowl of water levelly, but it is good if you can hold it steady.
"So, you want to go to Asia to compete with Wayne, right?"
When it came to Wayne, Blake's eyes suddenly lit up and he smiled and said, "You understand me, coach."
Glenn Mills squinted his eyes and was silent for a long time, then he touched his round belly and said slowly: "Today is May 9th. You still have a week to prepare. If you go to China for the first time, you can
Learn more about it on the Internet. It seems that you have some contact with that Wei En, right? Communicate with him more, and don’t rush around in China.”
"China? It's a magical city, right?" the black boy asked doubtfully.
"Yes, Diamond League Magic City Station." Glenn Mills slowly stood up from his seat, glanced at another disciple next to him, and said to Blake: "If you want to go to Magic City to compete, then
He can only replace Fauci's spot. The Diamond League spot is very precious, so don't forget to prepare a gift for him."
With that said, Glenn Mills packed up his things and prepared to leave.
Mario Fauci on the other side grinned and said: "Yohan, I think that mechanical watch on your hand is good, hehehehe..."
"You know this is impossible, Fauci. This watch is much more expensive than the appearance fee you got from the Diamond League! How about buying you a drink?"
"Oh my God, Yohan Blake, who is so self-disciplined and perverted, also hangs out in bars like Usain? Did I hear that right?"
"If you don't want to drink, forget it."
"Drink, of course! How about going to the Blue Mountain Bar opened by Ryan Thompson? I'm really hungry for their food..."
------------------
Yanjing, Capital International Airport.
Wayne sat in the waiting room and looked through the event information of the Diamond League Doha Station. In addition to him, a super popular player in Asia, there were also quite a lot of reports on Justin Gatlin and Asafa Powell.
This time Wei En is still traveling with Su Bingtian, but he and Su Bingtian are not participating in the same event. Wei En is participating in the 200-meter diamond event of this site, while Su Bingtian is participating in the 100-meter performance event.
The Diamond League does not only have the 14 diamond events in each station divided by the IAAF, but also includes some back-up matches and non-points-based exhibition matches. Generally speaking, the overall level of the players participating in the back-up matches and exhibition matches is generally lower.
on diamond projects.
But the organizers of Doha don't care. Whether it's the former Super Grand Prix or the current Diamond League, the organizers only have one word - trench.
