?On the field, the second set of the men's 60-meter hurdles preliminaries has ended. The top two are German Thomas Blasek and Russian Yevgeny Borisov, the results were 7.59 and 7. 61 seconds.

The top two were okay. Shi Dongpeng's expression was a little embarrassed in the third place. The third place in the second group of the preliminaries was Spain's Jackson-Nienes ran out of 7.63 seconds. For Shi Dongpeng, with one more player who surpassed him, his hope of qualifying for the final is one point less.

Soon the third group of preliminaries appeared before the starting line of the men's 60-meter hurdle.

Liu Yangyu is the fifth track. From the moment he appeared on the field, the Chinese track and field team and some of the Chinese spectators at the Louis Puig Stadium instantly boiled.

The current track and field competitions are very visible to many Chinese and overseas Chinese students in Europe and the United States. To be able to see Ye Qin and Liu Yangyu's games, it is especially worthwhile for many people.

On the field, Liu Yangyu moved his body slightly. After the sound of the password, he stepped onto the run-up and waited quietly for the start of the game.

After a gunshot, Liu Yangyu's start was very straightforward, and he quickly rushed out of the starting line.

Ye Qin can clearly see that Liu Yangyu's starting rhythm and speed are obviously much higher than Shi Dongpeng's. Other opponents present may be faster than Liu Yangyu in terms of speed ability, but they want to be in the hurdles. Almost none beat him technically.

In just six or seven seconds, the eight players on the field ran as fast as lightning.

Liu Yangyu crossed the finish line first, and the result displayed on the timing board was 7 seconds 57.

And just after the result on the timing card appeared, Ye Qin heard Shi Dongpeng sigh silently beside him.

According to the semifinal promotion rules, the top two in each group will advance directly, and then return. With the two best results, Shi Dongpeng has missed the finals in this situation.

...

Two hours later, at 20:35 in the evening.

The Louis Puig Stadium ushered in the finale of the second day of the Indoor World Championships, the men's 60-meter hurdles final.

Originally, today’s men’s 60-meter hurdles final will be staged in a championship duel between Liu Yangyu and Cuban star Dai Long-Robos.

Liu Yangyu won the men's 110-meter hurdles at the World Championships last year and is currently the highest ranked athlete in the men's 110-meter hurdles. Dai Long-Robos is Liu Yangyu's most powerful competitor in the men's 110-meter hurdles in recent years.

In February, he just ran an amazing result of 7.33 seconds in the 60-meter hurdles. For this indoor World Championships champion, he came almost with an ambition to win.

It is a pity that Dai Long-Robos, in the 60-meter hurdles preliminaries, failed to fully display his strength due to a starting error, and finally out of the preliminaries with a score of 8.53 seconds.

This makes many athletes who want to see the two heroes fighting each other feel no small regret.

Fortunately, in this final, there is also American star Alan Johnson. Although Alan Johnson is no longer at the top and is replaced by rising stars such as Liu Yangyu and Robles, there is still no one such a veteran with extremely rich experience in the game. Will ignore his performance and strength in the competition.

"Stay steady."

Ye Qin looked at the nervous coach Sun Chaosheng from the sidelines and couldn't help smiling slightly.

Although coach Sun Chaosheng said that he should let go of Liu Yangyu's pre-match guidance, so that Liu Yangyu can adapt and face the competition independently, and will not be psychologically dependent on other people.

But in fact, in Liu Yangyu's game this year, from the preliminaries to the semi-finals, and the current finals, coach Sun Chaosheng was completely unable to let go, and he was still very nervous and excited about Liu Yangyu.

The significance of this indoor world championship for Liu Yangyu is to see whether he can achieve a grand slam. Although the grand slam is just good to hear, the gold content of the game may not be as good as other championships, but for an athlete, it is always necessary to be able to Winning championships in various competitions is considered a success.

For Liu Yangyu, the 60-meter hurdles competition in the indoor track and field championships is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

In two years, Alan Johnson is getting older and is no longer at his peak. The threat to Liu Yangyu in this 60-meter hurdles competition has decreased a lot.

However, Liu Yangyu's real biggest opponent, Cuban player Dai Long Robles, was slow to start in the preliminaries due to a play error and was already out. This created an unprecedented opportunity for Liu Yangyu to win the championship.

Now it all depends on Liu Yangyu's performance in this indoor World Championship. As long as he can maintain his state, he basically has great hopes of winning the championship.

On the field, soon the men's 60-meter hurdles race began.

After a gunshot, the Latvian runner on the third lane had the fastest start reaction time, ranking first among all runners with a reaction time of 0.136 seconds, and was the first to cross the starting line.

Followed by the fourth track British player Allen Scott, this British player's starting reaction is also very fast, and the two are almost the fastest starting reaction of all the runners.

Then there is Alan Johnson, a 37-year-old veteran who has rich racing experience and a fast starting speed.

Liu Yangyu may be more stressful. The starting reaction of this 60-meter hurdle was much slower than many of his previous races, and he ranked fifth. The starting reaction time is 0.217. Among Liu Yangyu's many competitions, it can be regarded as the slow starting reaction.

But soon, starting from the second hurdle, Liu Yangyu’s superb hurdle skills gradually came into play, gradually surpassing the front from the back position.

In the third column, Liu Yangyu was already second on the runway, second only to Alan Johnson, followed by the fourth column, the fifth column...

In the audience, the muscles of almost everyone on the Chinese track team tightened instantly, staring at Liu Yangyu's running movements intently.

Cross the line!

In an instant ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the position of the Chinese track and field team's stand broke out a huge shout.

The result shown on the timing board is 7 seconds 46!

Liu Yangyu crossed the finish line first and won the championship!

After Liu Yangyu, Alan Johnson won the runner-up with a time of 7.55 seconds.

"Pretty! Liu Yangyu won the Grand Slam!"

"Olympic champion, World Championship champion, world record, indoor World Championship champion, Liu Yangyu gathered all the championships he could win in the hurdles before the Yanjing Olympics this year!"

Coach Sun Chaosheng has a hard time. It is unimaginable to think about it all the way, full of all kinds of difficulties and obstacles. In 2002 and 2003, the two masters and apprentices stumbled all the way, participating in various competitions from home to abroad.

Now, in this 2008 IAAF Indoor World Championships, Liu Yangyu finally won the Grand Slam achievement.
