On March 3, this World Indoor Track and Field Championships has entered the last day of the schedule. Today, the most popular competition is undoubtedly the men's 60-meter hurdles semi-finals and finals.

As the only event in this championship, my country has entered the semi-finals with full members and all members entering the semi-finals, which naturally attracted the attention of countless people. What's more, the performance of these three contestants who won the third place in Japan in December last year has been often mentioned.

Everyone is looking forward to Zhou Tianjue, Su Zhe and Ye Jun, hoping that they can perform well in this field.

At the Track and Field Kingdom Forum, the friends were cheering for Su Zhe’s achievements the night before. Before they could celebrate, they arrived on March 3rd, and everyone began to worry about today’s 60-meter hurdles again.

[Brothers, is anyone here to analyze it? This morning's men's 60-meter hurdle semi-finals, Jue Ge'er, Zhe Shao and Jun Ye, what is the situation? Alas, why am I so panicked...]

1L: [Oh, I'm very panicked. I'm not in a good mood now and I have nothing to analyze. Are there any brothers coming downstairs?]

3L: [Let me try to analyze it. Yesterday's preliminaries, Jue Ge'er 7.59 seconds, Jun Ye 7.65 seconds, and Zhe Shao 7.53 seconds. According to the results of previous years, if you want to enter the semi-finals directly, you have to win the top two in the semi-finals group. The requirements for this result must be at least within 7.55 seconds... According to the current results of Brothers, the only person with hope is Zhe Shao.]

4L: [...Brothers upstairs, after listening to your analysis, I feel that I have lost the confidence to watch the game. By the way, look, like Mr. Zhe, yesterday's game was very strong, and the preliminaries were 7.53 seconds. Is it possible that Brother Jue and others have not yet tried their best? After all, during the Japanese Invitational Tournament before, Brother Jue and Mr. Zhe were still comparable, right?]

6L: [4L, the results are not analyzed in this way. It was not that the two people's scores were similar in December, and now the results of the two people can be equal. Although everyone's training level may be similar, the reason why Zhe Shao's performance improved so much in this competition was also analyzed yesterday. In addition to basic training, there is also a large part of the factor because Zhe Shao's pace was transformed in front of the column this time. It was winter training, and coupled with the contribution of the eighth and seventh, Zhe Shao's performance has improved so much.]

10L: [Zhe Shao’s man’s silver medal in 60 meters yesterday was so excited. Now everyone on Weibo is still full of joy. I’m afraid that if the 60-meter hurdles are not good today, it will be another blow to passers-by. Finally, more than one passerby pay more and more attention to track and field competitions in the past six months...]

Just as the people were worried at the Track and Field Kingdom Forum, the people on Weibo were still very optimistic about today's men's 60-meter hurdles. In the previous men's 60-meter sprint, only Su Zhe could run into the finals and win silver medals. Today, three people ran into the semi-finals at the same time? Isn't it too much to win a medal?

Just as everyone was intrigued, many sports bloggers were celebrating Su Zhe's silver medal the day before, but today they also emerged, starting to cool down the mood of netizens.

Xiaobai looks at track and field: [#World Indoor Track and Field Championships Day 3# You can understand that everyone hopes that the players can run well and advance to the final and win medals, but we also need to know that the Chinese team's men's hurdling events are not that strong at present. Here is a set of performance tables of players who have advanced to the finals in the semi-finals of the indoor championships. You can compare the results of the current three Chinese players - Xiaobai wants to say that we all have a heart to support our national players and hope that the national players can compete well, but chasing stars requires rationality, and cheering for athletes also requires rationality. Don't put too much pressure on the athletes, so that athletes can go on stage lightly and play their best.]

Judging from the picture data compiled by Xiaobai from the track and field, we can clearly see what kind of comparison level the results of Su Zhe and the three of them in the preliminary rounds and the players who have entered the finals in the previous sessions.

Uncle Eye also posted a push on Weibo.

[I know that many people are looking forward to the three players in the hurdler group being able to create miracles in today's competition.

But what I want to say is that the 60-meter hurdles are a very short schedule, and it is also a very short but difficult event.

On such a short track, many world-class 110-meter hurdles are difficult to show their greatest strength, because there are many people who are really strong in the rhythm and back-range advantages of the junction. In the 110-meter hurdles, if there is a slight mistake in the future, there is still a chance to remedy in the second half. In the 60-meter hurdles, unless the real strength is against the sky, there is almost no hope of remediation.

So do our three players currently have the strength to defy the sky on the 60-meter hurdles?

My personal answer is absolutely no.

Whether it is Su Zhe, Zhou Tianjue or Ye Jun, they are not promising players. Among them, Su Zhe has always had weaknesses before, including insufficient startup explosive power, insufficient height, and lack of competitiveness in the front-line stage. I believe that it is precisely because of this reason that Lu Fei gritted his teeth and decided to let Su Zhe carry out the technical transformation of the front-line stage of the front-line stage of the front-line stage of the Lv Zhe. A large part of the purpose is to make up for Su Zhe's shortcomings.

Among the three, the closest player to the prospective player should be Zhou Tianjue. He has strong explosive power and fast acceleration ability. He has certain advantages in his future. He is indeed growing rapidly and in the explosive stage. It can be seen that in just three months of winter training, his score has been increased from 7.65 seconds to 7.59 seconds, which is already a surprising speed, but this does not mean that he now has the ability to increase his score from 7.59 seconds to 7.55 seconds and win the final place in this 60-meter hurdle.

As for Ye Jun, his performance has also exploded since the second half of last year, but just like Zhou Tianjue, he will need some more time to allow him to accumulate some strength.

Finally, in this kind of track competition, various factors have a great impact on athletes. Just like in the past few days of competition, why do Chinese players often perform well? It is because there are many compatriots who support them on the scene, which further stimulates the athletes' fighting spirit and mentality.

I have said so much, just to explain to everyone that appropriate expectations and encouragement are pressure and motivation, but I hope everyone can look at the competition rationally. Regardless of the results after the competition, I also send my most sincere blessings to our athletes.

Even if our country's hurdling projects are not that strong, I believe that as long as Su Zhe and others are given enough time, they will definitely be able to take our country's hurdling projects to a new peak!]

The sports bloggers' continuous posts were finally transferred to the eyes of netizens one after another. The netizens who were originally overly excited were stunned at first, and then their mood, which was originally overly hot, calmed down a little.

As for sports bloggers, some people who are excited about their behavior of throwing cold water together, they don’t really buy it, but choose to forward and oppose it.

[The athletes are going to compete on the field? Why are you all bad? Didn’t anyone be optimistic about the men’s 60-meter sprint before? There is a silver medal in the end! This one in the hurdles had to dominate Asia when Japan competed before. Why do you look like you don’t look good now? Is it poisonous?]

[Yes! At last year's World Championships, weren't they all reached the semi-finals? If Zhou Tianjue hadn't been tripped by someone that time, he would have reached the finals, right? Then, among the three indoor competitions, at least two of them could have reached the finals, right?]

On the Internet, on the one hand, sports bloggers speak in the hope of reducing the pressure on athletes as much as possible, and on the other hand, some netizens do not understand the competition situation very well, and they look at the game with excessive expectations. For a moment, under the speeches of both sides, many people are communicating with a slightly excited word.

Sports fans have some headaches about this situation, but they don’t complain much.

This situation will occur, which shows that netizens value and focus on the competition. If someone does not pay attention to the competition and results, they will not be in the mood to argue here.

In short, as long as the reason is explained so that everyone can better understand the various things in sports, even if they have a fight with people online, the fight will not be a loss.

While people from all walks of life on the Internet were busy, Xu Zhi was also catching Su Zhe and others for pre-match interviews in the warm-up venue.

Xu Zhi: "Do you have any ideas about today's semi-finals?"

Faced with this problem, even Zhou Tianjue, who has always been unable to speak too much, has become slightly restrained today. It can be seen that he wanted to yell out the saying "The goal is the final", but it is precisely because of his understanding of the 60-meter hurdles final level and his own level that he cannot shout this sentence happily.

Compared with Zhou Tianjue and Ye Jun's restraint, Su Zhe seemed even more indifferent: "As the competition, who among the players on the scene doesn't want to win? Just be yourself, do your best and leave no regrets."

After Su Zhe spoke, Zhou Tianjue also scratched his head and replied: "I want to win."

After hearing the answers of Su Zhe and Zhou Tianjue, Ye Jun smiled and said, "I will do my best and leave no regrets."

From the answers of the three, we can also see that the three of them have different mentalities at this time - Su Zhe who is relatively sure, Zhou Tianjue on the verge of danger, and Ye Jun who has a slightly slim hope, in fact, they all want to win the game, but everything is not that simple.

On the scene, after the current round of pole vault finals, while the staff were adjusting the competition venue on the field, Zhang Jing, Wang Miaochuan, along with the special guest commentator of the next game, Lu Fei, and the three of them started chatting together on the scene.

The camera searches for fun pictures on the scene, and then the director places it on the live screen and shares it with the audience.

The director's office, the competition has not started yet, and the directors are in a relatively relaxed state. One of them smiled and said, "Oh, did you see that gossip yesterday? Shao Xingchen watched Su Zhe's final yesterday. Today's semi-final is so important. Do you think Shao Xingchen will be here at our scene?"

Hearing this question, the other directors laughed, and another person continued, "I know this. In the morning, the security inspection team said that they saw Shao Xingchen coming again, wearing a down jacket, a baseball cap and a mask. However, the security inspection team found that he had handled it in a low-key manner, and no one had noticed it yet."

"Speaking of this, Shao Xingchen is not bad, and he doesn't do anything special when he comes to the scene. He just sits down to watch the competition. He really likes track and field events..."

Just as a few people were chatting, a camera captured a young man wearing a black down jacket, a baseball cap and a mask in the audience. The directors were stunned and immediately ordered the technology to cut the picture away so that such a large amount of traffic would not be discovered at the scene, and security was difficult to deal with.

Just after the staff on the field adjusted and the hulls were laid out, the next round of the game was about to begin.

There is nothing special about the men's semi-final grouping of 60-meter hurdles. The same 24 semi-final players were divided into three semi-final groups. Finally, the top 2 players in each group were selected to directly enter the finals. Among the remaining players, the top 2 players ranked in the top 2 will also be qualified to enter the finals.

The three Chinese players were assigned to two different groups this time. Zhou Tianjue and Ye Jun were in the first group of the semi-finals, while Su Zhe was alone in the third group of the semi-finals.

At the commentary seat, Zhang Jing, Wang Miaochuan and Lu Fei discussed this group table first.

Zhang Jing frowned and said, "Everyone already knows that in today's competition, there are only the top two places that can make it to the finals in each semi-final group, and then look at the top two of the remaining players. Then the grouping of the first group of the semi-finals today is very unfavorable for our two players, Zhou Tianjue and Ye Jun."

Wang Miaochuan continued: "Yes, this means that if the two players want to win the finals, they must win the top two in the first group of the semi-finals." After a pause, Wang Miaochuan turned to Lu Fei and said: "Guide Lu, do you have any opinions on the first group of the semi-finals?"

Lu Fei took Wang Miaochuan's flower head, pondered for a moment, and then spoke: "To be honest, this time, the three players can enter the semi-finals at the same time, and we have achieved our goal. Regarding the finals, no one dares to say that they are completely sure. Judging from the current results, Su Zhe is of course the most promising among the three, but there are too many changes in the field, and the real result depends on how they perform."

"Just from Zhou Tianjue and Ye Jun in the first semi-final group, these two, one is still too young and reckless, Ye Jun is much more stable overall. However, although their performance is still improving rapidly, it is still a bit reluctant compared to today's 60-meter semi-final. To be honest, even if they are separated and compete in different groups, the two may not be able to enter the finals in the end."

Compared with the praise before the preliminaries the day before, in today's commentary, Lu Fei did not beautify the format of the game.

After all, progress is progress, and the current upper limit of strength is also the reality in front of you.

It is true that the three stars of the hurdling project are shining, but none of these three people have reached the peak of true shining. They still have a long way to go before reaching the peak.

Just as the chat and introduction of the three people in the commentary seat, the contestants from the first group of the semi-finals also appeared under the guidance of the staff.

In this group, in addition to the two Chinese players Zhou Tianjue and Ye Jun, Brazilian players Gomez, American team Train and Spain's Alcides are among them, and they can be called strong players.

These people all have the strength to run within 7 seconds 55 in good condition, while Alcides and Gomez's personal PB is within 7 seconds 50.

Only by defeating these people in the semi-finals can you win the ticket to reach the finals!

After glanced at the opponents at the scene, Ye Jun stood on the eighth track, breathed a long sigh, restrained his mind and stopped thinking about anything more.

A player was separated from Ye Jun. Zhou Tianjue was on the sixth track. After looking around, he also turned his attention back to the track in front of him. The competition was about to begin, and he did not have the extra energy to focus on other things.

The audience's support and cheers for their own players were still enthusiastic, and on the track, all the players tried their best to eliminate the impact of this home cheer on themselves.

Soon, at the signing of the referee team, the game was about to begin, and the audience at the scene also calmed down under the instructions.

At the starting point of the track, in a quiet environment, because the track is narrow, the contestants can even hear each other's breathing sounds.

Plop, plop.

Zhou Tianjue listened to his heartbeat and looked calmly ahead.

"Everyone is in place and prepare."

After the referee's voice sounded, what followed was the starting gunfire representing the starting order - "Bang!"

After the crisp gunshot, Zhou Tianjue suddenly stepped on the starting device with his right leg. With his explosive power, he quickly started and entered the smooth eight-step front of the upper bar.

Thumb thumb.

His height and length of legs allow him to easily and smoothly complete the entire front-line pace stage at a free rhythm in front of the rail without falling behind others!

On the No. 8 track, Ye Jun's starting lineup was also very steady, but his starting power was still slightly lacking. For him, if he wanted to significantly improve his performance, it was imperative to transform his pace in front of the bar.

For many years, he has been using the front-end technique of eight-step up the bar. First, when he first started participating in hurdle training, the seven-step up the bar technique had not been widely used even in Europe and the United States. Second, he had tried to exert force on his left leg, which was slightly difficult. After years of technical finalization, he wanted to complete the technical transformation, which would be more difficult than Su Zhe and Zhou Tianjue. Therefore, after Lu Fei communicated with his coach about the eight-step reform plan, he had not made up his mind completely.

He still wanted to see how far he could go with the skills of going up the bar with the eight steps.

In the front stage of the railroad, Ye Jun's pace was also smooth and concise, which all came from his skillful skills over the years, but compared to Zhou Tianjue, his explosive power and acceleration were slightly inferior, and just this slightly inferior one, the final result presented in this world's top stadium is that he has fallen into the bottom four!

At the front of the track are Alcides and Gomez, and Zhou Tianjue and Train are in the third position, and the speed between the two is hard to tell!

Everyone has already entered the rhythm of the hurdle. Everyone has taken out their fastest speed and rhythm, constantly jumping among the narrow and short five columns.

Zhou Tianjue and Ye Jun each performed well in this game. The two leaned forward. After swinging their legs across the railing, they pulled up their legs as fast as possible. Then when the forefoot of the swing legs hit the ground, they had already lifted up their legs in mid-air and swung their legs across the railing, quickly connecting the steps between the next railing!

Both of them are crossing each rack in the most accurate and efficient way, which is also one of the important techniques they mastered in winter training.

But even so, Zhou Tianjue is still in the tug-of-war with Train, and the gap between the two is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye!

In the audience, the audience cheered endlessly. Even though the two Chinese players did not have the advantage in the current scene, the audience still poured their whole heart and enthusiasm for them!

The loud shouts rushed into the eardrums of Zhou Tianjue and Ye Jun.

Quicker.

They all want to make themselves a little faster!

Zhou Tianjue gritted his teeth and looked ahead, staring at the finish line not far ahead.
To be continued...
