110-meter hurdles in 40 years, 7-person world record Liu Xiang 12 seconds 85, 2nd in history—

In the final match of the 2012 IAAF Diamond League - Brussels Station, the London Olympic champion and American athlete Aris Merritt won the men's 110-meter hurdles with 12.80 seconds, and broke the world record of 12.85 seconds in this event set by Chinese athlete Liu Xiang in 2006.

Full 40 years ago, on September 7, 1972, American athlete Mirbuon set the first world record for men's 110-meter hurdles at the Munich Olympics - 13 seconds 24. This record was maintained for five years. On August 21, 1977, Cuban Casanas ran 13 seconds 21 in Sofia, Bulgaria.

In the following years, the man's 110-meter hurdles belonged to American Nehmia, who broke the world record three times in 1979-1981. Especially on August 19, 1981, he ran 12.93 seconds in Zurich, Switzerland, becoming the first player in the history of the event to reach the 13-second mark. Eight years later, his compatriot Jindom improved his score by 0.01 seconds at the same location.

In 1993, British Colin Jackson raised the world record by 0.01 seconds. After 12 seconds, 91.11 years, Chinese sport Liu Xiang won the championship with a world record in the Athens Olympics, and since then became the new idol of my country's sports. On July 11, 2006, Liu Xiang ran 12.85 seconds in Lausanne, Switzerland, becoming the first Asian to break the world record of the event.

Six years later, American Merritt emerged, and has achieved success in the past year and won the runner-up in the Olympics. This year, the world record, which has been blocked for four years, has increased by as many as 0.05 seconds.

The following are the top ten results of men’s 110-meter hurdles:

Sports Illustrated-

Merritt calmly looks at the expert of the year: He will rule the next few years!!!

...

Everyone is talking about this matter.

Especially domestic audiences.

Because Merritt broke the world record belonging to Liu Xiang. This makes many people feel emotionally difficult to accept.

Not that it is not generous enough.

All of us have watched Liu Xiang continue to break through and grow up. We have all cried and laughed and proud, and of course we don’t want this record to disappear just like this.

And this year, Liu Xiang also staged the Return of the King.

He defeated Melit on the front and took away the Olympic champion.

It was originally the year he should be at its peak.

But for this reason, there is some of the style of absolute domination.

Don't talk about them.

Even Liu Xiang’s own team.

Didn’t you also feel puzzled and incredible when you received this news at the first time?

Although I think the record of 12.85 will be broken sooner or later, I didn't expect it to come so quickly.

But if it is broken, it is broken.

Fortunately, Liu Xiang has now won this year's Olympic championship.

It’s just that he can’t be described as a world record holder.

The advertisements are also replaced by Olympic record holders, Olympic gold medals and World Championship gold medals.

Although it is still very strong.

But there is still a little bit of perfection.

You know, too.

Chinese people actually like the word "perfection".

It seems that a little less makes me feel regretful.

Fortunately, Liu Xiang has come out now.

He even believes that it is already a lucky enough to basically win this championship this year.

He was reminded by Su Shen at first, knowing that Merritt was in good condition.

In the middle, Merritt's psychological performance and evaluation have been repeatedly improved.

Who can think of it?

It would be so good.

It's really good, a bit too much.

The original record has been recorded, but now it should be broken bit by bit. After all, the closer the human beings are to the limit, the harder it is to improve.

Someone once made a prediction that the record of 110-meter hurdles in the first 50 years of the 21st century is 12 seconds 85.

If you want to run to 12.80, that's also the next thing.

But I knew it would appear all at once.

It's a bit similar to Bolt.

It increased the speed of humans at a limit of 100 meters by a huge margin in minutes.

From this perspective.

Liu Xiang, the original world record holder, tried his best to break the Achilles tendon because he tried his best in the London Olympic finals.

It is basically impossible to recover from a second injury.

If Liu Xiang withdrew, and Robles seemed to have injured the fatal place, David Oliver was not capable of the competition, and he suddenly felt... he had no opponent.

Under the current state, he specifically believed that he had ruled the project for several years.

That's not an exaggeration.

It was a sensation outside.

There are discussions everywhere about Merritt breaking the world record. On Ersha Island, Su Shen has begun to devote himself to intense training in advance.

Because he will complete next year.

It's very likely that Merritt has done something now.

More difficult.

And it's much more difficult.

At present, this is just a guide to some senior staff within the country, and many people are shocked to fall.

Not to mention.

Then I will really tell you it to everyone.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! The man is 100 meters.

If there is really a different level in sports and a bloodline, the 100-meter sprint is definitely the one with the highest bloodline and the most expensive one.

This is true in any country's sports games.

There is no way, because the 100-meter race is really hard to understand, no one of the men, women, young and old can’t understand, the rules are the least, and it is a manifestation of ultimate speed.

This is the most primitive skill competition.

It is also an important basis for Europeans and Americans to discuss the 100-meter trench with the race.

It's because of this project.

Enough ancient.

Enough original.

The first sports competition event in humans.

Many people think it's just running.

In addition, 100 meters is also the first event for Chinese athletes to participate in the modern Olympics.

Its meaning is completely different.

No matter which reason it is, it pushes 100 meters to a higher position together.

Su Shen has won the Olympic gold medal and the Olympic record.

So is he over?

Maybe many people just think so.
