Zizhao Chuan: The Biggest Sportsman

Chapter 929 Van Niekerk's Ambition

The performance of Yi Jing and Zeng Jianhua did not disappoint Guo Zizhao.

With the blessing of Guo Zizhao's equipment, Yi Jing once again achieved the top international time within 13 seconds in the final, defeated several old opponents with a time of 12 seconds, and once again defended the men's 98m hurdles at the World Championships. champion.

It can be said that since 2014, Yi Jing has proved to the world the dominance of the Chinese team in the men's 110-meter hurdles event by gaining one top international champion a year.Although, Yi Jing's winning results these few times are not so outstanding, and even in the period when "Guo Liu Romeo" is fighting for hegemony, it is possible that he may not even win a medal.

But a champion is a champion!

At a time when the men's 110-meter hurdles in the international track and field are at a low ebb, the Chinese team can still have three players break into the finals and occupy the championship again, which is something that people have to admire.

The runner-up was still Jamaica's McLeod, and this was the third time that the Jamaican boy lost to Yi Jing in a top international competition.This time, McLeod still ran a time of 13 seconds. Perhaps, the gap between him and Yi Jing lies in the seven-step hurdle technique!
"Kidney Fighter" Merritt is 32 years old this year. Even with the recuperation of Guo Zizhao Club, the ups and downs of his state are still much greater than before.This time, Merritt only ran 13 in the final and ranked fourth. Unfortunately, he failed to win another medal.

And the player who won the bronze medal this time is Shubenkov who participated as a neutral player.Last year, due to the impact of the Russian track and field doping scandal, Shubenkov also failed to qualify for the Rio Olympics, and his daily training was also affected to a certain extent.

This year, although the IAAF still banned the Russian track and field team from participating in the World Championships, it allowed some Russian track and field athletes who had proved their innocence to participate in the World Championships as a neutral.Therefore, Shubenkov also wants to prove his strength and innocence in front of the whole world in this competition.

However, although Shubenkov's strength has not diminished, after all, he has not participated in an international competition for almost two years, so his competitive state has still declined.In the end, Shubenkov only ran 13 seconds. After the silver medal in the last Beijing World Championships, he won another bronze medal.

……

谢文君这次发挥同样也很稳定，以13秒23的成绩排在第五位。曾剑华这次在“强力高级高频跑鞋”的加持下，也是基本上跑出了自己的最佳水平，以13秒25的成绩位居第六。最后两位就是法国选手拉加德和牙买加的帕切门特，成绩分别为13秒28和13秒31。

Seeing this, Guo Zizhao secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, I used the equipment for Zeng Jianhua, otherwise, Zeng Jianhua would really have come out of the bottom of the crane!
Although Zeng Jianhua's No.6 in this final is not too high, but being able to run his best result under the pressure of these top players, I believe it is also important for the improvement of Zeng Jianhua's "spiritual" attribute. Very helpful.

With this championship in hand, the Chinese team has reached 2 gold medals in this World Championships.Moreover, as Zhang Peimeng and Yi Jing won the world championships of these two events again, they automatically qualified for the 2019 Doha World Championships again.This is a small surprise for the Chinese team.

And in the men's 400-meter dash final the next night, Chinese player Beke gave the world another big surprise.

In the previous year's Beijing World Championships and last year's Rio Olympics, Bie Ke won the bronze medal in the men's 400-meter sprint, and also ran the top result within 44 seconds.It can be said that in the past two years, in addition to Van Niekerk, in the men's 400-meter sprint event, that is, Killarney James, Beko and Rashawn Merritt can run steadily for 44 seconds The top results within.

Of course, this year, Bahamian star Gardner and Botswana star Mark Waara also ran top international results within 44 seconds, so they are also considered to be strong contenders for medals in this World Championships.

However, what everyone did not expect was that Killarney James was accidentally injured a month before the start of the World Championships, and he had already withdrawn from the competition for this World Championships.American veteran LaShawn Merritt was unexpectedly eliminated in the semi-final two days ago.What is even more unexpected is that Botswana's star Makwala suffered from food poisoning the day before the game, so he had to withdraw from tonight's final.

Hiss... In this way, in the eyes of everyone, the situation of the men's 400-meter sprint final is already very obvious.

……

South African king Van Niekerk's advantage in the men's 400-meter event is unquestionable.

At the Beijing World Championships and the Rio Olympics, Van Niekerk won the championship with international super abnormal results.Especially in last year's Rio Olympics, Van Niekerk ran an astonishing time of 43 seconds, almost breaking the 03-second mark!
In this year's international arena, the South African king also ran the top international results in the 400-meter event several times.Not only that, but Van Niekerk doesn't know whether he was stimulated by Beko's 200-meter bronze medal in the Olympics last year, or whether Van Niekerk believes that he also has the ability to win medals or even win the championship in the 200-meter event. , So at this World Championships, Van Niekerk, like Bieko, participated in the 400-meter and 200-meter competitions.

It has to be said that as the current international track and field in the men's sprint event, the only all-round sprint master who ran 400 seconds 43 in the 50 meters, 200 seconds in the 20 meters and 100 seconds in the 10 meters. Ke participated in the competition of two events at the same time this time, which indeed attracted the attention of a lot of media and the public.

Hiss... Needless to say Van Niekerk's results in the 400-meter event, this year in the 200-meter event, Van Niekerk also ran the top international results of 19 seconds twice.This result is definitely worthy of a medal.

If Van Niekerk can win a medal in the 200-meter event at this year's World Championships, will Van Niekerk be the same as Guo Zizhao in the next Doha World Championships? , the mode of participating in three individual event competitions at one time has been launched!
Let me go... If Van Niekerk can win medals or even gold medals in the top international competitions in these three events, then Van Niekerk may become the new generation of sprint king after Guo Zizhao Yes!

It is precisely because of this attractive goal that Van Niekerk has shifted part of his energy from the 400-meter event to the 200-meter sprint event this year.At the same time, after Killarney James retired from injury, Rashawn Merritt was out, and Mark Valla retired from illness, the outside media and Van Niekerk believed that this World Championship is really a godsend opportunity!

……

In Van Niekerk's view, the only remaining opponent, Bieke, has only just run into 400 seconds in the 44-meter sprint event.In the top international competitions in the past two years, Bie Ke's best time is only 43 seconds, which is far from his opponent.Therefore, as long as I can run close to the top time of 81 seconds, I can easily win this final, and there is no need to go all out.

Hehe...Let's save a little energy and prepare for tomorrow's 200m semi-final and the day after tomorrow's 200m final!

Zhang Peimeng and Bolt's current 200-meter strength has declined a lot. I believe their performance in the 200-meter event will also drop significantly this time.Therefore, even if I can't defeat them, I'm not without a fight!On the contrary, Bie Ke's 19-meter score is also very good. In last year's Rio Olympics, he ran a top international time of 79 seconds. Therefore, if he wants to beat Bie Ke in the 200-meter event, he has to add Just use oil!

So Van Niekerk also believes that if he wants to win the 200-meter medal or even the gold medal this time, the main competitor is probably this Bieke!
With Van Niekerk's thoughts, the men's 400-meter dash final also started with the gun fired.But just a few dozen seconds later, Van Niekerk paid a heavy price for his miscalculation before the game...
