【Text/Fighting Jianghu】The two great talents of Chinese athletics, Liu Xiang and Su Bingtian, who is greater? If you say in general terms, don't compare the truth, then both are great track and field geniuses. But to break down, who is greater? This is more difficult. After all, it is two different projects, not easy to compare. The editors believe that according to the facts, then Liu Xiang may be greater than Su Bingtian. We can try to analyze it.
First of all, we admit that Liu Xiang's 110-meter hurdles are relatively unpopular athletics projects, while Su Bingtian's 100 meters are the king of athletics projects of Zheng'er Bajing. The influence of the 100-meter trapeze war far exceeds that of the 110-meter hurdles. Objectively speaking, if it were not for the existence of Liu Xiang, few Chinese people may pay attention to the 110-meter hurdles project. Well, let's compare who is greater.
Let's start with Liu Xiang, who is the only Grand Slam winner in the history of the 110-meter hurdles, neither Alain Johnson nor Colin Jackson, neither Dayron Robles nor Aris Merritt. What is a Grand Slam, a world record, an Olympic champion and a world championship champion, meets three points, that is, a Grand Slam.
Liu Xiang's greatness does not lie in temporary gains and losses, but in the field of world-class dominance for a long time, and between 2004 and 2012, except for a period of injury at the 2008 Olympic Games, he was the first king of this level for most of the time. Note that this is the king of the world, not the Asian realm.
Liu Xiang's best historical time was 12.88 seconds, which was created in Lausanne, Switzerland in 2006, and his olympic record of 12.91 seconds at the Athens Olympic Games also set an Olympic record that no one has broken so far. At the 2007 World Championships in Osaka, he won in 12.95 seconds, which is the content of the Grand Slam. It is worth mentioning that Liu Xiang soared 12.87 seconds in 2012 under the condition of over-wind speed, of course, it was not counted in the official results.
In contrast, Su Bingtian's career only ran a magical speed of 9.83 seconds at the Tokyo Olympics, and his career only had this time. Do not rule out accidentality, of course, the two 9 seconds 91 is also the embodiment of Su Bingtian's absolute strength. He and Liu Xiang, one is the Asian record holder, the other is the former world record holder, hurdles Grand Slam winner, in terms of achievements, there is no doubt that Liu Xiang is greater.
Of course, the difficulty of the 110-meter hurdles and 100 meters is also different, and Liu Xiang's physical condition and Su Bingtian's physical condition are also different, so it is difficult to compare the high and low. The 110-meter hurdles require not only speed and explosiveness, but more importantly, inter-bar rhythm, that is, the technique of hurdles. The 100 meters are mainly about explosiveness and acceleration. Su Bingtian's 1.72 small man can run a first-class performance of 9.83 seconds, which is indeed valuable, and in Asia, it may be difficult to break in 10 years.
Liu Xiang's 12.88 seconds is definitely a ceiling level in Asia, and the rest of the hurdles players can only look up. Don't say 12.88 seconds, even if it's 13 seconds, how many people in Asia can run in? Nothing. So Liu Xiang's 12.88 seconds, I'm afraid no Asian can break it in 30 years. Liu Xiang is the embodiment of technical perfection, conquering the 110-meter hurdles project, and the IAAF is specifically because Liu Xiang added the Shanghai station of the International Diamond League in Shanghai. This is a great honor.
In contrast, Su Bingtian could not keep pace with Liu Xiang. Although both yellows have made history, one is a world champion and the other is an Asian champion, which is obviously not an order of magnitude. Of course, Liu Xiang of 1 meter 89 went to cross the 110 meter hurdles, and Su Bingtian of 1 meter 72 went to run 100 meters, and in terms of difficulty, it seems that Su Bingtian is even greater. After all, his disadvantages are obvious, but his difficulty cannot offset the gap between his achievements and Liu Xiang. Overall, Liu Xiang is better.
Liu Xiang also worships Su Bingtian's 9.83 seconds, believing that Su Bingtian is the god of Su, of course, Su Bingtian also regards Liu Xiang as a star in the night sky, illuminating his way forward. They are all great people who have won glory for the yellow race. In fact, it hurts feelings more than coming, but Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second, and many sports fans and martial arts fans are eager to see who is the real first person.
Now 15 years after Liu Xiang's 12.88 seconds, his record is still unbreakable in Asia. So Su Bingtian's 9 seconds 83, 15 years someone broke? We look forward to the appearance of masters. In short, Fight Jianghu believes that while acknowledging that both are great, Liu Xiang is greater than Su Bingtian. What do you think? 【Text/Fighting Jianghu】
