On August 3, the evening unit of the fifth day of the Athletics Competition of the Tokyo Olympic Games, the men's 110-meter hurdles preliminary round took the lead in firing the gun, and careful netizens found that the world record "12.91 seconds" marked on the TV screen was still created by Liu Xiang. In addition, in the past few days, China's 100-meter flyer Su Bingtian has repeatedly mentioned "Xiang Brother" in interviews, describing it as a lucky star, and the name Liu Xiang has been warmly mentioned again. Maybe even Liu Xiang himself did not expect that he would return to the public's vision in this way, and received a large wave of netizens "late apologies".
"Liu Xiang accelerated! Liu Xiang accelerated! hasten! Spelled! Win! Liu Xiang won the championship! In 2004, in the final of the 110-meter hurdles of the Athens Olympic Games, with the commentator's classic "Liu Xiang won", the Chinese flyer became a new generation of super idols in the field of athletics. And this unpopular athletics event, because he has received more attention in China. But when liu xiang is mentioned, people often have to mention the two subsequent withdrawals: in 2008, when Liu Xiang, who was expected to be in one, retired at the Beijing Olympic Games, many netizens turned their confusion into anger; at the 2012 London Olympic Games, Liu Xiang was injured after the start of the competition, and he jumped to the finish line with one foot after the tendon was broken, which triggered a greater "anger" among netizens, and even said that he was putting on a show.
It is understood that Liu Xiang has won 60 championships in all 95 competitions, including 48 international competitions, with a total of 36 gold, 6 silver and 3 bronze. He has long been the first person in the world in the 110-meter hurdles. As the athletics project of the Tokyo Olympic Games once again ignited the enthusiasm of spectators across the country, as the provenance of "12.91 seconds" in the lower corner of the screen was "revealed" by more and more people, the topic of "110-meter hurdles Olympic record or Liu Xiang" was hung on Weibo hot search, and netizens lamented that "this apology is late".
"Liu Xiang yyds, ben, was the only yellow-skinned athlete to surpass blacks on the straight track, but he has been infamous for many years, and although he has participated in 48 world championships, 36 championships, 6 runners-up, and 3 third places," some people only remember him retiring 2 times."
"In the matter of 'Liu Xiang's retirement', I selectively ignored his injury, ignored his pain, ignored the world records he had created again and again, and ignored the efforts he made behind these achievements... Especially in the past few days, I brushed a video of him before the game, in order to be able to play normally, endure severe pain, use his right foot to kick the wall, hoping that the extreme pain can make his right foot numb, hold up the video of the game, and instantly tears. ”
"After so many years, you are still my hero, thank you for the ecstatic pride and glory you have brought me, live well, see that now everyone understands you, really reconciled with the past." 」
Liu Xiang responded to netizens in an interview with the media that "an apology is owed to Liu Xiang" when he said that everyone does not need to apologize, people will grow, and they may have said some things when they were young, he understood, but through time everyone will slowly find that athletes are quite real, and they will not perform on the field, "In fact, I am an ordinary person, but I may have run faster before." ”
At 10:00 a.m. on August 4, the men's 110-meter hurdles semi-finals will start, some netizens analyzed that on August 3, in the third group of the preliminaries, the American hurdles genius Holloway easily ran out of 13 seconds 02 seconds, releasing water to a large extent, he will be expected to impact the Olympic record held by Liu Xiang in the semifinals and finals 12.91 seconds.
