Chapter 940: The Situation Is Grim
At the last Portland Indoor World Championships, although the Chinese team also won the championship and runner-up in the men's 60-meter sprint event for the first time, the champion was Su Bingtian, and Lao Yi only won a runner-up.
This is also the first time in so many years that Guo Zizhao and his disciples have lost the championship of this event. If Jiang Hengnan loses the gold medal in this event again at the Birmingham Indoor World Championships next year, it is estimated that it will also have a certain impact on the reputation of his club.
What's more, at present, Jiang Hengnan's "loyalty value" has also improved by 1 point after winning a bronze medal in the 100-meter World Championships in London and a gold medal in the men's relay race last year, reaching the level of 89 points, which is only 1 point short of the 90-point inheritance disciple condition!
Guo Zizhao estimated that at most, one more world-class champion would be able to make Jiang Hengnan's "loyalty value" reach the level of 90 points, so that he could be promoted to become a disciple of the inheritance.
Hiss...... If we can't win the World Indoor Championships next year, we will have to postpone the World Cup in Athletics until September next year.
But no matter what, Jiang Hengnan must fight hard at this indoor World Championships! Even if you can't win the championship in the end, at least you can't be too ashamed in terms of results! Besides, if it really doesn't work, after next year's international indoor competition begins, Guo Zizhao is ready to remove Coleman from the list of outer disciples.
Well...... Although the outer disciples can improve their reputation a lot, when it comes to the critical time, they still have to put the interests of the national team and their own club disciples first......
……
Of course, in addition to Jiang Hengnan and Zeng Jianhua, two young disciples, who are training enthusiastically, the veteran Yi Jing is also working hard to achieve his final short span "Grand Slam".
As early as a year ago, Yijing achieved the "Grand Slam" of the World Cup, World Championships and Olympics in the men's 110-meter hurdles event. This year, Yi Jing won the 110-meter hurdles championship at the World Championships again. For Yi Jing, the only championship he hasn't won so far is the 60-meter hurdles championship at the World Indoor Championships.
At the start of the Portland Indoor World Championships two years ago, Yi Jing had to prepare for the Olympic Games with all his might, and he did not have much advantage in the 60-meter hurdles, so Yi Jing did not dare to put the cart before the horse to practice the 60-meter hurdles.
But now, I have won all the top championships in the 110m hurdles event, and I have won two championships in the World Championships. When the time comes, not only will he be able to become a student in the short span project in addition to Guo Zizhao and Alain. In addition to Johnson and Liu Feifei, the fourth player to achieve the "Grand Slam", the number of championships he has won in top international competitions is also comparable to Liu Feifei!
Besides, I will be 30 years old next year, and I don't have any major international competition tasks next year......
And just when Yi Jing began to go all out to attack the 60-meter hurdles, Yi Jing's idea of achieving a short span "Grand Slam" also stimulated another player in the club, that is, American veteran Aris. Merritt.
You know, Aris. In addition to being one gold medal in World Cup track and field, Merritt is also able to achieve a short span "Grand Slam"! Moreover, Merritt missed the last World Cup track and field competition because he had to have a kidney transplant, so Merritt also wanted to take advantage of this last opportunity to also give himself a chance to hit the "Grand Slam" record.
After all, Merritt will be 33 years old next year, and the contract signed by Merritt with Guo Zizhao's club will expire at the end of next year. Therefore, taking advantage of the fact that he still barely has the world's top strength, and then going to the World Cup track and field competitions to fight for it has also become the motivation for Merritt's training.
In the midst of everyone's busy training, 2017 came to an end.
Although 2018 is only a small year for international track and field, although there are no top competitions such as the Olympic Games and the World Championships, because this year's indoor track and field World Championships, World Cup track and field competitions and Asian Games are all gathered in the same year, it is also a year full of expectations for Chinese track and field athletes.
And Guo Zizhao also attaches great importance to this year, if nothing else, at the end of this year, he should accept the systematic evaluation. Whether you can meet the standards of sports bigwigs and whether you can continue to be free depends on your performance in this last year, so at this critical time, you can't drop the chain......
……
At the beginning of 2018, Jamaican Lightning Bolt finally officially announced his retirement in front of the media.
After three defeats at last year's World Championships in London, Usain Bolt has finally lost confidence in the future. Although the Jamaican Athletics Association is also trying its best to keep it, it still can't stop Bolt's decision.
In Bolt's view, since his strength has declined seriously and there is no possibility of winning the championship, there is no point in holding on. Wouldn't it be even more humiliating if he couldn't even run the final at the World Championships in Doha two years later......
With the retirement of Usain Bolt, only Zhang Peimeng has the strength to win the championship in international competitions. Guo Zizhao and Usain Bolt have retired, Blake's time has also slipped to about 10 seconds, Guy and Powell are still making the final struggle with international third-rate results in low-level international competitions, and as for Zhang Peimeng, who is 31 years old this year, it is estimated that he will not last long.
The turmoil of Usain Bolt's retirement has not subsided, and Guo Zizhao also accompanied Jiang Hengnan to start this year's International Indoor Track and Field Tour journey.
Guo Zizhao is so active this time, in addition to helping Jiang Hengnan adapt to the rhythm of the indoor competition faster, he also wants to observe the situation of other opponents up close.
At the Ghent Indoor Championships in mid-January, Jiang Hengnan easily won the championship with a time of 6.47 seconds in the first stop. Guo Zizhao is still very satisfied with Jiang Hengnan's results, and in the 60-meter event, Jiang Hengnan was really able to burst out stronger.
But a few days later, Guo Zizhao's mood was not so happy.
……
On January 20, Jiang Hengnan and Su Bingtian were also invited to participate in the Clemson Indoor Track and Field Invitational Tournament in the United States. In the final of the 60-meter sprint, Guo Zizhao saw two amazing American teenagers, Coleman and Ronnie. Baker.
Ronnie. Baker is just that, this sprinter who has risen since last year, actually has a "potential value" of 96 points, and will have the opportunity to become the world's top sprinter in the 100-meter sprint event in the future, but the current strength is still a little worse!
In addition, the current development of the youngster's various attributes is also very uneven. Baker has just reached the international top level of 93 points, but the "agility" and "precision" attributes have just stepped into the international first-class threshold of 90 points, while the "skill" and "endurance" attributes are even worse, and they are still hovering at the international second- and third-rate levels of 88 and 86 points.
So to say that at the moment Ronnie. Baker's strength may still have to rely on some luck if he wants to run within 9.90 seconds in the 100-meter time, but there is no problem in stabilizing at the international first-class level of 9.9 seconds.
But when it came to the 60-meter sprint, Ronnie. Baker's "power" and "speed" advantages are more obvious. With these two world-class attributes, coupled with the world-class "agility" and "precision" attributes, Ronnie. It is very possible for Baker to run the world's top in the 60-meter event, or even within 6.45 seconds!
Except for Ronnie. In addition to Baker, Coleman, who had long made Guo Zizhao have scruples, surprised Guo Zizhao even more this time.
Your Sister's ...... It's only been more than a month, and Coleman's "strength" attribute has actually increased by 1 point, reaching the level of 95+1 metamorphosis!
I'll go...... Although several of Coleman's attributes are also very unbalanced, the "Agile" attribute is still only at the international top level of 94+1 points, while the other attributes are still between the international first-rate and second-rate levels, without the slightest change. However, the increase in the "strength" attribute this time may not be obvious for his 100-meter performance, but for the 60-meter sprint, this is a qualitative leap!
With Coleman's current attributes and strength, he is completely capable of running a super perverted time of 6 seconds and 40 seconds! No way...... This time, Jiang Hengnan's trouble is really a bit big......
