In 2007, there were six competitions in the IAAF Golden League, namely Oslo on June 21st, Paris on July 6th, Rome on July 13th, Zurich on September 7th, and Zurich on September 14th.
Brussels Station, Berlin Station on September 16th.
The 2007 World Athletics Championships were held from August 24 to September 2. Although the schedule of the Golden League is indeed staggered from the World Championships, in fact, track and field competitions have never been about running a lap on the field.
It's over.
It takes time to adapt to the venue, get over the jet lag, and especially adjust to the athlete's condition.
Judging from the importance of the competition, it is obvious that the World Championships, as a competition second only to the Olympic Games, is much more important than the Golden League.
Therefore, this year’s Golden League is destined to not be as exciting as usual, and most of the top athletes will definitely focus on the World Championships.
The same goes for Su Feng.
Zhang Peimeng returned to China after participating in the New York race. However, it is worth mentioning that although he did not enter the top 40 in the world in the 100 meters in the past year, his 10.04 and 10.01 seconds
However, all the results reached the A standard of the Osaka World Championships.
Except for Su Feng, China only has this A-standard result in this World Championships. It is impossible to have a situation like the United States in a short period of time, where even Olympic champions have to participate in the domestic trials. Therefore, when Zhang Peimeng got the A-standard result, he also
It is equivalent to qualifying for the World Championships.
As for Liu Yuxiang, he decided to participate in the competition in Paris on July 6 and Rome on July 13.
Su Feng decided to only participate in the Paris race on July 6, and will return directly to China afterwards.
On the one hand, Su Feng wanted to spend more time adjusting, and on the other hand, he still had relay team events to participate in.
The Chinese relay team has already qualified for the World Championships, but it will have to wait until Su Feng returns to the team before it can be qualified to compete with the world's top teams.
Therefore, Su Feng has to go back early to train with the relay team.
This is also the magic weapon for Asian teams such as the Chinese team and the Japanese team to compete with European and American teams in the future, that is, they train together for longer and have better skills.
Unlike the American team, most of the time collective training begins after the competition team is formed, so the skills displayed are often very rough and mistakes are often made.
Su Feng trained with the relay team for several months during this winter training and achieved remarkable results.
If I continue to practice more before the World Championships, I believe it will surprise the Chinese people.
Anyway, after Zhang Peimeng ran well and Su Feng joined, Coach Tian couldn’t stop smiling from ear to ear. It can also be seen from this that the strength of the Chinese team is definitely different from what it used to be.
…
July 2, Paris, France.
At Charlotte Stadium, Su Feng was training on the field. This was also the training ground Su Feng used last year, so he was already somewhat familiar with it.
"Aren't you planning to have a Golden Slam this year? In fact, there is still enough time. Although the time is a little tight, there are few opponents." Liu Yuxiang asked while stretching on the track.
The two of them got together at the same time, so naturally they trained together.
"Forget it." Su Feng thought about the situation last year, quickly shook his head and said.
Although being able to withstand stress is a must for a competitive athlete, it is better not to seek stress yourself.
Although due to the World Championships, some top players in Paris, Rome, Zurich, and Brussels chose to withdraw from the competition, Su Feng also wanted to participate in the World Championships, and he really did not have the experience to run all these competitions.
July 6, Stade de France.
The Paris Golden League competition has begun. Liu Yuxiang finished second in the 110-meter hurdles with a time of 13.25 seconds, losing to first place Trammell's 13.19 seconds.
The overseas Chinese at the scene were disappointed and turned their attention to the 100-meter race behind.
In fact, for these Chinese people who like track and field, the current scene is already rare.
In an international competition, not only will a Chinese player be able to play, but he will also have a chance to win the championship.
Now one person has won the runner-up, and then another champion seed is about to appear. This kind of expectation is something they did not dare to imagine a few years ago.
At this time, in the corridor, Su Feng and Liu Yuxiang said hello.
"Congratulations, you won second place. This is an incredible achievement." Su Feng said to Liu Yuxiang seriously. Those who didn't know thought he was congratulating him. But for athletes of Su Feng and Liu Yuxiang's level,
, if you don’t get first place, you lose.
"Fuck you, then I'll congratulate you in advance for winning second place." Liu Yuxiang said angrily. After saying this, he felt a little regretful. He had already finished the competition and it was nothing. But Su Feng hadn't yet, so saying this was a bit regretful.
It's no longer appropriate.
But when he looked up at Su Feng, he was smiling and seemed not to be affected at all. The slightest guilt and worry disappeared immediately. He tossed his clothes and walked directly to the lounge.
"Ha" Su Feng put his outstretched hand in the air. He originally wanted to give him a high five, but now it seems there is no chance.
It wasn't that Su Feng had nothing to do, the key was that Su Feng looked around and saw that none of these opponents he knew, and none of those who could be called his strong rivals came, so naturally he relaxed a little.
This cannot be regarded as underestimating the enemy. It can only be said that the adjustment of pressure must be done in a balanced manner. Otherwise, if you are tense when the opponent is strong and tense when the opponent is weak, then there is a problem.
However, the problem that Su Feng didn't notice was that when he and Liu Yuxiang were joking, the other seven players seemed even more nervous.
This is brought about by Su Feng's consecutive strong championships! It can be said to be a kind of halo.
Soon, eight people arrived at the starting line under the leadership of the staff.
When the host introduced Su Feng during his appearance, the enthusiastic French people immediately gave Su Feng overwhelming applause and whistles.
The smoke from last year's Su Feng winning streak has not cleared up yet. We haven't seen him for more than half a year. The French have not forgotten this powerful Chinese, but are even more looking forward to his future performance.
After time and accumulation of achievements, Su Feng at this time can be called a superstar around the world.
"On your marks!" The electronic sound of everyone's positions sounded, Su Feng waved to the sidelines, and then made a start.
"set!"
"Crack!"
"The game begins!"
The live host's passionate voice erupted like fire at the moment of the gunshot. However, no matter how fast his reaction was, he could not be faster than the professional 100-meter athletes. At this time, the eight athletes had already made
Accelerating action.
There is indeed no player who can threaten Su Feng in this competition.
Tyson Gay, Sean Crawford and others who want to participate in the World Championships have to go through the domestic World Championship trials in the United States, so they really can't spare the time to compete.
As for Powell, the situation is similar. Although he is now the well-deserved No. 1 100-meter superstar in Jamaica, there are far more than three people in Jamaica who have won the 100-meter A mark. In this case, no matter how good his performance is, he must
Only after participating in the domestic trials can you participate in the World Championships.
This resulted in Su Feng’s uniqueness in this competition.
At thirty meters, Su Feng had already gained a clear advantage.
At this time, countless French people have begun singing and dancing. This scene has appeared more than once last year.
As long as Su Feng takes the lead and no one can regain Su Feng's advantage, it can basically be said that Su Feng has won.
Indeed, from thirty meters to sixty meters, Su Feng's lead not only was not recovered, but became larger and larger.
After sixty meters, Su Feng's speed reached its peak. When all eight athletes were running at high speed, Su Feng's speed increased again, and the speed increased again during the original high-speed running. This scene made everyone at the scene
The audience cheered again.
Ninety meters, crossing the line.
Score, 9 seconds 89!
The small time card on the scene showed the first place result the moment Su Feng hit the line. There is no doubt that it was Su Feng's result, 9 seconds 89!
Su Feng once again won the Paris Golden League championship with a time of 9.89 seconds.
Although this result is not excellent for Su Feng, the stability he showed during the competition, especially in this kind of short track competition, to be able to be stable to this extent is a reflection of his absolute strength.
