This time and space of 2013 is obviously different.

Take Blake, for example. Back in time and space, he suddenly suffered a strain during the men's 100-meter race at the Utech Classic in Kingston on April 13, and his season was almost cancelled.

After that strain, Blake fell into a long period of repair and recuperation. He forced himself to run a 200-meter race in June, but the result was still very problematic. In the end, he did not even participate in the World Championship trials, let alone go to Mexico.

Sco.

Although Blake also had problems in this life, the situation did not seem too serious, and Glenn Mills made it clear that Blake would definitely be able to return to the competition in the trials.

It is still unknown what kind of changes Blake will undergo in this time and space, whether he will avoid the devastation of grade three strains and continue to be in peak condition.

But the changes in Bolt are obvious.

On May 8, Bolt made his season debut at the Georgetown Cayman Invitational - 9.86 seconds (0.3m/s)!

Changed, completely different!

In the eyes of outsiders, Bolt's time of 9.86 seconds in his season debut was a perfectly normal thing - after all, he was Bolt.

But only Wayne knows that as Bolt gets older, in order to avoid injuries, under the arrangements of Glenn Mills, he will try to minimize physical wear and tear before the World Series.

After experiencing the training of winter training, many young athletes will start to find their form during the indoor season from January to March and test the effects of winter training.

If the results of the indoor competition are good, it means that the direction of winter training is correct. On the contrary, the coach can also immediately adjust the training direction and plan.

Of course, indoor competition is not suitable for all players. For example, Wei En and Zhang Peimeng are not interested in indoor competition at all now. Their improved performance has already proved the correctness of the training direction, so there is no need to participate in indoor competition anymore.

But after the outdoor season begins, athletes like them will begin to participate in competitions frequently, adjust subsequent training plans through game performance feedback, and strive to adjust to the best condition before the World Series.

Bolt is different. In the original time and space, in order to ensure Bolt's dominance in the world series, Glenn Mills has tried his best to prevent Bolt from consuming his energy in international competitions since 2012.

Especially in 2015 and 2016, in 2015, the World Championships trials were canceled by using the World Championships wild card, and in 2016, the Olympic trials were canceled by using Jamaica’s medical exemption. For this reason, Gatlin and other American track and field officials also suffered.

The cynicism of people.

But this time and space in 2013 is really different. Bolt showed his strength of 9.86 seconds in the first race of the season. This not only means that Glenn Mills has changed his "strategic plan"

, which means that Bolt has become more diligent.

Being able to run 9.86 seconds at the beginning of the season, Bolt, like other track and field athletes, must have devoted himself to training after the 2012 season break.

When Bolt gets serious, Bolt, who was still at the end of his sub-peak state in 2013, still has extremely terrifying strength!

But it’s not without good news. On May 10, the Diamond League Doha Station started, and Justin Gatlin won the championship with a time of 9 seconds 96 (1.2m/s).

As soon as this result came out, many sports media praised and criticized Justin Gatlin, believing that he no longer has the ability to win medals in major competitions.

"With a score of 9 seconds and 96, we have every reason to believe that Justin Gatlin's current strength is at best comparable to China's Su and Zhang Wuwu." This is the source of the BBC's report on the Diamond League Doha station.

talk.

The 2013 season is really exciting, but it is still the beginning of the season and there are only a few plates of appetizers on the table.

Next, it’s time to serve the first dish!

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

On May 18th, the second stop of the 2013 IAAF Diamond League—Modu Station kicked off!

Last year, the main promotional poster for the Diamond League Magic City Station still featured Liu Xiang. This year, the main promotional poster has completely changed to Wei En.

It is a pity that this year’s Modou Station did not set up a 100-meter diamond event, and because the IAAF Challenge settled in Yanjing for the first time, under the “Tai Chi Hands” of the Track and Field Center, the Modu Station wanted to arrange the 100-meter event

The idea of ​​an exhibition match also came to nothing.

For the public, it definitely makes a big difference whether there is a men's 100-meter event in a track and field event.

However, there is not much difference for Wei En, because whether he participates in the 100 meters or 200 meters, his appearance fee is guaranteed to be US$150,000.

Therefore, today Wei En, Zhang Peimeng and Xie Zhenye can only participate in the 200-meter event. The main purpose is to complete the standard task of the Moscow World Championships.

"Hey, Wayne, I think you must be ready to create a 200-meter wl today!"

In the warm-up court, Justin Gatlin, who had not seen him for more than half a year, smiled cheerfully and seemed not to be affected by all the cynicism at all.

Justin Gatlin is a very characterful person, with a good background, and he majored in psychology in college, so he often behaves very well-mannered.

For example, after the Doha station, many international sports media directly compared him with Su Bingtian and Zhang Peimeng, almost openly saying, "Gatlin is old and can't run anymore."

Later, he was invited by the Chinese Athletics Association to come to China to participate in the Diamond League Magic City Station and the IAAF Challenge Yanjing Station. When reporters mentioned this related issue, he did not show anger or dissatisfaction.

"I am 31 years old this year. Normally, it is normal for athletes at this age to have a decline in form, and Su and Zhang are at their best age. I looked at the list of competitions, whether they are in Magic City or

Yanjing will compete with them and I am looking forward to their performance."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The answers are watertight, making it impossible to find any fault.

"The 200-meter wl only lasts 20 seconds. My goal is the meet record." Wei En smiled and was not prepared to remain "humble".

Are you kidding, can't you run in 20 seconds just by raising your legs?

Justin Gatlin thought: "What's the 200-meter meet record in Shanghai?"

"19.76 seconds was set by Usain Bolt in 2010. It seems you didn't do your homework well, Justin."

"At that time, I had just finished my suspension, and I was looking for ways to participate in competitions to make money. It's normal to not remember." Justin Gatlin shrugged.

Wei En glanced at his watch and said, "The time is up. I should start warming up. See you in the competition."

"Okay, see you in the game." Justin Gatlin nodded and started to warm up.

At 20:15 in the evening, when the women's 400-meter event ended and the hurdles were cleared, the atmosphere in the 80,000-person stadium in Shanghai began to become more enthusiastic.

In several events in between, the athletes of the Chinese track and field team have performed well.

Gong Lijiao won the runner-up in the women's shot put event with a time of 19.79 meters, while Liu Xiangrong also finished fourth in the same competition.

In the men's high jump event, Zhang Guowei won the third place with a score of 2.27 meters. Although it is a pity that he failed to break his personal best, the temperature in Shanghai has remained at a lower temperature due to rainfall today, which will have an impact on the field events.

very big.

The most exciting thing was the women's 100-meter event 20 minutes ago. Guangxi star Wei Yongli defeated American star Carmelita Jeter with an advantage of 0.003 seconds, setting a new personal best in 11.08 seconds (0.1m/s).

In addition to good results, he also won the third place in this site.

At the Zhaoqing Station of the National Track and Field Grand Prix at the end of April, Wei Yongli performed excellently. At that time, she ran under the wind speed of 2.6m/s and won the championship in 11.02 seconds.

Game defender En once said that Wei Yongli's technical ability has continued to improve significantly. As the season progresses, her condition has reached its peak and she has a good chance of breaking the 11-second mark.

Today this sentence is half fulfilled. Wei Yongli was able to run 11.08 seconds under low temperature and almost no wind conditions after the rain. If she is given a good wind speed and temperature environment, the chance of breaking 11 seconds is indeed infinite!

Wei Yongli's ability to improve so steadily was naturally not achieved through training in China.

In fact, Wei Yongli's winter training was held in Florida with Wei En and the others, but her name was not on the training list.

The current development of Chinese women's sprint events is still lagging behind, and women's track and field is not as popular as men's, and there is no superstar like Wei En to lead the trend, so the national track and field team has not organized winter training for female sprinters at all.

Since there are no training requirements, Wei Yongli can only stay in Guangxi to train, but she has already reached the level of 11 seconds 1x last year. If she continues to stay in Guangxi and train hard, let alone her level will decline, anyway, the possibility of improvement is

Very little.

Therefore, Wei En was "meddling" again and made a request to head coach Feng Shuyong, so that Wei Yongli also went to Florida.

Feng Shuyong and other leaders all thought that there was no problem. Although the overall strength of domestic female sprinters was relatively poor, Wei Yongli did stand out. She was born in 1991 and was of the right age. She was added to the training team in the United States.

It doesn't cost much either.

Facts have proved that Wei En's choice was right. Anyway, during the winter training in Florida, he gave Wei Yongli a little trouble when nothing happened. It would be strange if she didn't improve.

How to turn on a small stove, you ask?

Wei En: Randy, Wei Yongli's starting ability is not very strong now. Can you help her design a suitable starting method like you did for Su Bingtian?

Randy: No, no, no, although I like to be nosy and occasionally give some reminders to other athletes, but that is all in the general direction. I must abide by the contract. Except for the athletes assigned to me by your national track and field team, I

Specific improvement plans cannot be given to other athletes.

Wei En: Well... if there is a yellow female sprinter with a height of 168cm and a weight of 60kg, her lower limbs are xxxcm long, her calves are xxcm long, and her feet are xxcm long, then the distance between her front and rear starting blocks and the footplate

What should be the appropriate setting?

Randy: This question is very simple, because...so...get it?

Wei En: What about the angle of the knee joints before and after preparation?

Randy: Oh my gosh! Aren't you always very smart? This angle is easy to calculate using a formula. Listen, according to the data you mentioned, this woman's preparatory anterior and posterior knee joint angle should be

...

Zhang Wuji and Hu Qingniu belong together.

In short, with Wei En's help, many of Wei Yongli's technical details have been improved. If she continues to develop in this way, she is expected to become a world-class one.

It is a pity that, except for Wei Yongli, the overall level of the domestic women's 100-meter event is still too weak. The level of Tao Yujia, Li Meijuan and other players is less than 11.5 seconds.

But the time is almost up. In Wei En's impression, Liang Xiaojing started to enter the national team this year, and the "ball-headed goddess" Ge Manqi also made a splash at the Jinling Asian Youth Games this year.

Men's sprinting in China has now entered a stage of rapid development. Although women's sprinting is temporarily lagging behind, it is not far behind.

With the expectations of 60,000 spectators at the scene, nine athletes in the men's 200-meter event appeared one after another, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly reached a new climax.

Naturally, the popularity of the 200-meter event cannot be compared with that of the 100-meter event, and even in Shanghai, it cannot be compared with the 110-meter hurdles. But in a strict sense, the 60,000 spectators sitting at the scene are not here for any event.

of.
