China's short-span future really urgently needs a true "successor".
Just one month apart, two " Liu Xiang successors" appeared one after another! Is the Chinese man’s 110-meter hurdle going to return to the top of the world? This time, the self-media played the role of "ignorance + bias". What is the result of
, 13 seconds, 12?
"13 seconds 12! Liu Xiang didn't achieve it back then" "Super Asian record, China's 16-year-old genius emerged"...
In the men's 110-meter hurdles competition held recently, 16-year-old young player Chen Yuan will 13 The score was 12 seconds, and this score has surpassed the original Asian teenager record of 13.17 seconds. The creator of the original record is Barro, a player of Qatar .
As soon as he saw this result and saw the record breaking, many self-media hurriedly took out Liu Xiang to compare. Through simple data comparison, he immediately concluded very "objectively": Chen Yuan will have surpassed Liu Xiang of the same period, and the succession of Liu Xiang is just around the corner. .
A month ago, a "Liu Xiang successor" had already come into the public's eyes - in the 2022 National Middle School Track and Field Championships, Chen Zhikang from Changsha Changjun Middle School in Hunan ran in the men's group B 110m hurdles finals in the 2022 National Middle School Track and Field Championships, Chen Zhikang from Changsha Changjun Middle School in Hunan ran in the final of the men's group B 110m hurdles He scored 13.18 seconds and won the championship. According to the historical results of the World Athletics Federation at that time, Chen Zhikang's 13.18 seconds can rank second in Asia in the men's 110-meter hurdle age group, and is also the sixth in the world's 110-meter hurdle history. It is precisely because of this that he became the "successor of Liu Xiang" written by the self-media.
interviewed the track and field events for more than ten years. The author adheres to the purpose of allowing the public to truly understand the 110-meter hurdles and objectively judge the athlete's performance, and we must also correct this statement.
Is the statement "Liu Xiang's successor" accurate? As of now, it is quite unpredictable. Chen Zhikang's previous response in an interview with the media actually explained the reason, "My clutch height this time is very different from the adult clutch height, and there is no comparison with Liu Xiang when he was a teenager. I'm waiting for me to go The adult bar height can reach this result, and then it may be considered the real successor. "
Yes, whether it is Chen Zhikang or Chen Yuanjiang who just ran for 13 seconds, The bar they crossed in the competition , they are all "short railings" of 0.914 meters, instead of the "high railings" that we once saw Liu Xiang cross. There are many types of clutch heights for
hurdles and competitions, mainly based on the age and level of the athletes. For example, the clutch height of this National Middle School Championship is 0.914 meters, and the well-known Olympic clutch height is 1.067 meters. There are teenagers in the middle. The adult group transition is 0.991 meters high. In a sense, "high fence" and "low fence" are not even the same sport.
in the hurdle boundary, and there are reference data that are not absolute. The difference in the score between "short column" and "high column" is about 0.6 seconds, which is equivalent to 3 to 4 body positions. The premise of this conclusion is based on the performance of the same player.
Someone went through hard work to find Liu Xiang’s past game data and compared it to the same age stage, indicating that the two young players are indeed better than Liu Xiang.
pair, from the data, it may be true, but such a simple and crude comparison is inscientific. They do not understand Liu Xiang's career trajectory, which is completely different from the current two teenagers.
Liu Xiang is the best case of late bloomer, which is very related to his sports experience - Liu Xiang is about 10 years old and has a relationship with sports, but he initially practiced high jump. Although he was once attracted by the hurdler coach Fang Shuiquan and brought it into the hurdler project , but the training program is not fixed. He practiced all running, high jump, and hurdles, but he was always in a state of not being able to learn. It was not until 1999 that Sun Haiping discovered Liu Xiang in . In order to miss this good seedling, he brought Liu Xiang to his own army through communication from multiple parties. The latter officially started the system's hurdle training. At this time, Liu Xiang was already 17 years old. It's been a year.
At this time, Liu Xiang is obviously incomparable with these two young men who have started hurdling system training in their early teenagers.
is there a possibility of succession? Compared with the "high column", and then
has the potential to be "Liu Xiang's successor". It must be after the two young players start the "high column" competition, and even in the "high column" "With great achievements in the field, it still needs to be questioned whether the two young players can "take over".
2008, at the Chinese track and field test competition held at the Bird's Nest, the 17-year-old Xie Wenjun ran 13 seconds 51, becoming the youngest male 110-meter hurdles in the world to meet the A-standard Olympics, which has surpassed Liu Xiang at the same time. .
Since then, Liu Xiang's junior brother was given the halo of "successor", and some people even hope that he will surpass "Xiangfeiren" and create a new legend of China's short span.
However, after so many years, Xie Wenjun has been struggling to break the "13-second mark" without reaching, let alone reaching or even surpassing Liu Xiang's heights. But undoubtedly, Xie Wenjun is the best male short-span contestant in China after Liu Xiang. It is precisely because of him that China's dominance in Asia has been maintained to this day.
So instead of looking forward to "Liu Xiang's successor", the author hopes that the two young men can work hard to become Xie Wenjun's successor first. In recent years, with the advantage of hosting the Olympic Games at home, Japan's hull has made rapid progress, which has posed an absolute threat to China's short span. In addition to Japan, other Asian forces are also emerging. The outstanding players of , , Kuwait are all very strong competitors of Xie Wenjun.
and China, except for Xie Wenjun, young players who can break through to within 13.50 seconds are almost no longer found.
It can be said that Liu Xiang brought Chinese track and field to an unprecedented height, allowing the Chinese to feel the light of honor that they had never seen before, and thus began to realize the true charm of track and field. His junior brother Xie Wenjun is also a hero. Even though he did not eventually become the "successor", he carried Liu Xiang's banner, allowing China, which was once in the "sky", to have a "slow down" that everyone can accept Landing.”
and next year's , 33-year-old Xie Wenjun will work hard to stand in the last shift and do his best to win the ten consecutive championships. No matter what the result is, he has done everything he can do.
After this, China's short span will also be affected by many strong enemies mainly Japanese players. We may face it sooner or later. China's short span really urgently needs a real "successor".
