On the court, the second group of the men's 60-meter hurdles preliminaries has ended. The top two were German player Thomas Brashek and Russian player Yevgeny Borisov, with the results of 7.59 seconds and 7.61 seconds respectively.

The top two were fine, but when the third place came out, Shi Dongpeng's face couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. The third place in the second group of the preliminaries was 7.63 seconds run by Spanish player Jackson Nenes. For Shi Dongpeng, if there was an extra player who had better results than him, his hope of advancing to the finals was one point.

Soon the third group of the preliminaries appeared in front of the men's 60-meter hurdles.

Liu Yangyu was the fifth lane. As soon as he appeared, the Chinese track and field team and some Chinese spectators at the Louis Pug Stadium were instantly excited.

The current track and field competitions are very visible for many Chinese and overseas Chinese students in Europe and the United States. It is particularly worth it for many people to see the competition between Ye Qin and Liu Yangyu.

On the field, Liu Yangyu moved his body slightly, and after the command sounded, he walked on the running booster and quietly waited for the start of the competition.

After a gunshot, Liu Yangyu started very simply and quickly rushed out of the starting line.

Ye Qin could clearly see that Liu Yangyu was obviously much higher than Shi Dongpeng in terms of starting rhythm and speed. There were many other opponents present who might be faster than Liu Yangyu in terms of speed, but there were almost no one who wanted to surpass him in the bar technically.

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

Liu Yangyu was the first to cross the finish line, and the timer displayed on the timing card was 7.57 seconds.

Just after the results on the timing card appeared, Ye Qin heard Shi Dongpeng beside him sigh silently.

The results of other contestants in Liu Yangyu's semi-finals have also been released. The results of the second, third and fourth place are 7 seconds 60, 7 seconds 63 and 7 seconds 65. According to the promotion rules of the semi-finals, the top two of each group will directly advance, and then there will be two best results to advance. In this case, Shi Dongpeng has missed the finals.

...

Two hours later, at 20:35 pm.

The Louis Pug 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 a championship showdown between Liu Yangyu and Cuban star Dai Long Robles.

Liu Yangyu won the men's 110-meter hurdles in the World Championships last year, and is currently the athlete with the highest ranking of men's 110-meter hurdles. Dai Long Robles is Liu Yangyu's most powerful competitor in the men's 110-meter hurdles event in recent years.

In February, he just ran an amazing 7.33 seconds in the 60-meter hurdles, and he came with a determined attitude towards this indoor World Championships.

Unfortunately, Dai Long Robles was unable to fully display his strength due to a starting mistake in the 60-meter hurdles, and finally got out of the preliminaries with a time of 8.53 seconds.

This made many athletes who wanted to see two heroes fighting each other felt a lot of regret.

Fortunately, in this final, American star Alan Johnson was there. Although Alan Johnson is no longer at the peak and has been replaced by rising stars such as Liu Yangyu and Robles, no one will ignore his performance and strength in such a veteran with extremely rich game experience.

"Stay steady."

Ye Qin looked at Coach Sun Chaosheng who was a little nervous on the sidelines and couldn't help but smile.

Although coach Sun Chaosheng said that he should let go of his pre-match guidance for Liu Yangyu so that Liu Yangyu can adapt to and face the competition independently, and will not become psychologically dependent on others.

But in fact, from the preliminaries to the semi-finals and the current finals, coach Sun Chaosheng was unable to let go of the game, and he was still paying great attention to Liu Yangyu with great nervousness and excitement.

The significance of this indoor World Championship to Liu Yangyu is to see whether the Grand Slam can be achieved. Although the Grand Slam is just good and the value of the competition may not be as good as the championships in other major competitions, for an athlete, it is always a success to be able to win the championships in various major competitions.

This 60-meter hurdles in the indoor track and field championship is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Liu Yangyu.

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

Liu Yangyu's real biggest opponent, Cuban player Dai Long Robles, started slowly in the preliminary round due to his mistake in performance and was eliminated, which created an unprecedented good opportunity for Liu Yangyu to win the championship.

Now everything depends on Liu Yangyu's performance in this indoor world championship. As long as he can maintain his condition, he will basically have great hope of winning the championship.

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

After a gunshot, the third Latvian player had the fastest start, ranking first among all players with a reaction time of 0.136 seconds, and was the first to break out of the starting line.

Following closely behind is British player Allen Scott in the fourth lane. The British player's starting reaction was also very fast, and the two of them were the fastest starting reactions among almost all players.

Next is Alan Johnson, a veteran who has been 37 years old for a few years, has rich competition experience and a fast starting speed.

Perhaps because of the pressure, Liu Yangyu's starting reaction in this 60-meter hurdle was much slower than many of his previous competitions, ranking fifth. The starting reaction time was 0.217. Among Liu Yangyu's many competitions, he can be considered to have a slow starting reaction.

But soon, starting from the second column, Liu Yangyu's superb intercolumn skills gradually developed, and gradually surpassed the front from the back.

In the third bar, Liu Yangyu had already ranked second in the runway, second only to Alan Johnson, followed by the fourth bar and the fifth bar...

In the audience seat, almost everyone in the Chinese track and field team's muscles became tense in an instant, staring at Liu Yangyu's running movements one by one.

Cross the line!

In an instant, a huge shout broke out in the position of the Chinese track and field team's stands.

The result displayed on the timing card is 7 seconds 46!

Liu Yangyu took the lead in crossing the finish line and won the championship!

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

"Beautiful! Liu Yangyu won the Grand Slam!"

"Olympic champion, World Championship, World Record, Indoor World Championship, Liu Yangyu collected all the championships he could win in the hurdling event before this year's Yanjing Olympics!"

Coach Sun Chaosheng is in a difficult situation. It is unimaginable to think about it all the way, full of difficulties and obstacles. In 2002 and 2003, the two masters and apprentices were even more stumbling, from home to abroad, participating in various competitions.

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