In the field of athletics, some events have produced undisputed firsts, Bolt is the first man in the 100 meters and 200 meters, Bekele is the first man in the 5000 meters and 10,000 meters, Bubka is the first man in pole vaulting, and Zelezni is the first man in javelin. But who is the world's first man in the 110-meter hurdles? This topic has recently caused heated discussion among netizens, Liu Xiang, Alan Johnson or Merritt, or Kim Dom, Robles, benevolent people see wisdom, Xiaobian also came to try to analyze.
Different evaluation systems will produce different rankings, if according to the simplest who is the fastest who is the first person point of view, Merritt created the world record of 12 seconds 80 has been maintained for 9 years, from the world's world hurdles level analysis, McLeod, Holloway and other top players hover around 13 seconds 00, Merritt's world record will be for a long time no one close to let alone break, from the perspective of the world record, Merritt is the first person in the 110 meters hurdles.
From the perspective of the honor of the World Series (Olympic Championships), Alain Johnson ranked first with 1 gold in the Olympic Games, 4 gold and 1 bronze in the World Championships, Kim Dom ranked second with 2 gold in the Olympic Games and 1 bronze in the World Championships, Liu Xiang ranked third in the Olympic 1 gold and 1 gold, 2 silver and 1 bronze at the World Championships, Merritt ranked fourth with 1 gold in the Olympic Games and 1 bronze in the World Championships, and Johnson won the most gold medals and medal honors in the competition, and Johnson should be the first person in this regard.
Starting from the top 10 representing the thickness of hard power, Robles ranked first with 12.939 seconds, Merritt ranked second with 12.941 seconds, Johnson ranked third with 12.955 seconds, and Liu Xiang ranked fourth with 12.965 seconds.
Ball sports only pursue championship honors, Grand Slam is the title of winning all important major championships, track and field athletes and ball players are different, the pursuit of competition honors but also focus on the breakthrough in absolute results, that is, the pursuit of winning the gold medal of the competition and the creation of world records are unified, so Xiaobian believes that the Grand Slam of athletics should be included in the world record creator on the basis of winning the championship.
Winning the Olympic/World Championship gold medal proves that the state strength sweeps all the opponents of this competition, but there will be the absence of other masters and lead to the phenomenon of insufficient gold content, breaking the world record to prove that the talent strength sweeps all the fierce opponents of the same era and the past historical masters, opening up new limits for human beings, and the essence of track and field athletes is not to challenge the limits of human sports? Combining a major championship and a world record can not only avoid the phenomenon that the gold content of the competition gold medal is sometimes insufficient, but also truly reflect the ultimate talent level of the athlete, complementing the accurate hardcore.
The IAAF Hall of Fame sets extremely strict criteria for selection: athletes must win at least two Olympic or World Championship gold medals and create at least one world record, which means that Alan Johnson, Merritt, and Robles are not eligible for selection, Johnson did not create a world record, and Merritt and Robles had only 1 gold medal.
Liu Xiang and Kim Dom are currently the only two famous players eligible for the World Athletics Federation Hall of Fame in the 110-meter hurdles, although Kim Dom achieved the defense of the Olympic gold medal and also created his own world record, but the World Championships only won a bronze medal, no gold medal was recorded, even if the Olympic gold medal is more important than the World Championships, Xiaobian believes that from the perspective of honor comprehensiveness, did not win the championship of the two major competitions, the honor of the competition is not perfect.
In summary, Xiaobian believes that Liu Xiang, who won the Olympic gold medal and the world championship gold medal, as well as the world record before 12.88 seconds and achieved the only Grand Slam winner in the 110-meter hurdles, should be ranked first and become the first person in the 110-meter hurdles.
