My Extraordinary Achievement

The competition venue of the IAAF Diamond League Shanghai Station is the 80,000-person Stadium. The 16 events of this Shanghai Station are the men's 100m, 200m, 400m, 5000m, 110m hurdles, high jump, javelin, Shot put and women's 100m, 400m, 1500m, 3000m obstacle course, pole vault, shot put, javelin.

According to the requirements of the competition, a sub-station competition needs to complete all the projects in one day. From the perspective of the previous competition process, it is basically 2-3 hours. This year, the time starts at 7 o'clock in the evening.

From five o'clock, the audience has already entered the venue one after another.

The tickets for the Shanghai Stock Exchange competition did not sell much after the tickets were issued, which showed a downward trend compared with last year, but then they were emptied in an instant. Figure, the final vote is hard to find.

Around 6 o'clock, the athletes entered the field to warm up, and then they were a little dumbfounded. It was okay if there were aids on the track and field competition!

They have seen this kind of large-scale support in concerts, and they have also seen similar scenes on the football field. It is not to say that there is no such scene on the track and field, it is really rare.

Oh, by the way, it seems that this kind of scene has been common in the jujutsu competition in the past two years. Thinking of this, everyone's mentality is much more optimistic. After all, before them, jujutsu athletes have suffered this kind of crit.

For Meng Fan, a rookie who suddenly entered the field of track and field, most people of course welcome it. Meng Fan's performance in the three soft wrestling events will definitely go down in history. Although he has not retired yet, he directly There is nothing wrong with giving the title of a legendary athlete. Of course, most athletes respect such athletes, regardless of whether there are people who don't like the character of roaming around very much.

Besides, non-javelin shot put players have no conflict of interest, and there is nothing to hate or exclude. If it is a javelin shot put player, then there is nothing to say. Meng Fan's previous results in the Asian Athletics Grand Prix made them sour. They are too clear about what Meng Fan's results represent. The best result this year is not Because others have not compared or have not achieved good results, but they really can't compare!

Of course, it's not absolute. There must be a small group of people who are dissatisfied with Meng Fan's appearance on the track and field. For example, the most united South Korean athletes, no matter what event, what level, or what occasion, will always be the same enemy of Meng Fan.

As for the American athlete that Meng Fan has just wandered about, it may be due to various reasons. On the contrary, he may be more enthusiastic about Meng Fan than athletes from other countries, and he basically made fun of the UFC about Meng Fan's KO monster. , I think it's pretty Coke. Of course, there are definitely no people who hate Meng Fan, but there are definitely many people who admire and like Meng Fan. In their opinion, Meng Fan is arrogant and no one can kill him. They like this kind of character. Felt familiar and friendly.

"Meng! Welcome to the shot put family!"

"My God, I finally saw you! I really like your games so much, I watch every one of your games!"

"I'm so excited, so happy! Can you give me the same hug, Meng!"

During the inspection, Meng Fan met a group of very enthusiastic athletes. What surprised him was that they were all shot put players who were about to compete with him on the same stage.

The atmosphere is too good, isn't it?

Is it really easier for big men to collide with passion?

Meng Fan played shot put behind closed doors. Basically, he had no contact with the international shot put community. During the Asian Sky Grand Prix, he played a game with little communication, let alone outside of Asia.

Of course, he had heard a few things about the world shot put—mostly from Emperor Gong—the most famous thing was about the "troika" of shot put, that is, the three famous shot put players, the American Cruther, Kovacs and New Zealand's Wallace.

These three people are the leaders of the shot put project today, and the champions of world-class competitions are basically produced among these three people. The competition between the three is fierce, but there is also a friendly, and often training together, very healthy competition. If there are any newcomers or players with outstanding results, the three of them will also train or communicate with each other.

The reason why there is such an atmosphere is mainly because there is a big mountain on their heads. Their dream is to make progress together and lift this mountain together before the peak of the competition recedes.

This mountain is no other, it is the world record for the men's shot put, which has been set for 31 years, and the "age" of this record is older than all of them.

Over the years, they have basically won the honors, championships, and championships that their leaders should have won one by one. Now I think that the record is broken in this generation.

But then again, this record is really hard to break.

Generally speaking, a 21-meter person can basically get a rank or a card in an international-level arena, and a person who is over 22 meters can also win a card or even a gold medal in the world's top competitions.

For the current troika, there are not many times over 22.5 meters. The latest Olympic record is 22.61 meters thrown by Ryan Crusser in 2020, and the best result in the past decade is the 22.65 meters thrown by Kovacs shortly after Meng Fan touched the shot put - not long after Meng Fan's 22.66 meters. It's covered. What's more interesting is that Wallace threw 22.67 meters not long ago, but the level of the event is not enough. The IAAF does not record or admit it.

The figures above are basically the top results of the shot put now, and the world record is 23.12 meters, which was created in the 1990s.

For the current troika, someone has to be the first to break the 23-meter mark to have a chance to reach this record. It seems to be a long way off. Fortunately, these three are very young and have not really reached them. The limit has the potential to climb. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

Of course, with the 2016 Olympic Games coming, and the timeline opened, it is inevitable that they are a little overwhelmed. At first, they were confident that someone could reach the 23-meter mark 20 years ago, but as a result, the threshold was not touched.

So, now suddenly there is a Meng Fan who can shoot 22.66 meters, they are very happy, they want to find a thrill, one more person to catch up with each other.

Carriage 3+1!

After the check-in was completed in a friendly chat, the shot put players entered the arena together.

At this time, the competition had already started in the stadium, and the men's 400m, high jump and women's pole vault had all been completed.

Meng Fan and the others entered the arena, which attracted loud applause and fierce screams from the audience in the stands. Well, it was mainly for Meng Fan. At the same time, it also attracted many sports professionals. They not only looked at Meng Fan, but the lineup of players in the shot put project today was really dazzling.

As far as the world rankings are concerned, regardless of the influence of the project, even with the exception of Meng Fan, the shot put athletes participating in this event are the heaviest players. The top 20 to 16 famous players in the shot put field are among the top 20 to 16. This "appearance rate" is definitely among all the events. The highest, taking the men's 100 meters as an example, there are nine in the top 20, and one in the top three in the world.

The layman looked at Meng Fan, the expert looked at the overall lineup, and the relevant media reporters issued such a headline early on—

"Attack Shot Put - Launching the first general attack to the dust-sealed 31-year world record"

This is indeed the most luxurious lineup in the shot put world in the past ten years. All armed, four of them are 22.5 meters tall!
