Chapter 532

The venue of the Shanghai station of IAAF Diamond League is in the 80000 people stadium. The 16 events of the Shanghai station are men's 100 meter, 200 meter, 400 meter, 5000 meter, 110 meter hurdles, high jump, javelin, shot put and women's 100 meter, 400 meter, 1500 meter, 3000 meter obstacle race, pole vault, shot put and javelin.

According to the requirements of the competition, a sub station competition needs to complete all the projects in one day. From the previous competition process, it basically takes 2-3 hours, and this year's time starts at 7 p.m.

Since five o'clock, the audience has entered one after another.

The tickets of the Shanghai Stock Exchange competition were not sold much after Invoicing, which was a downward trend compared with last year, but then they were suddenly emptied in an instant. The simple reason is that the official announcement of Meng fan among the contestants made it difficult to get a ticket in the end.

At about six o'clock, the athletes entered the stadium to warm up, and then they were a little silly. It was OK to have AIDS on the track and field competition!

They have seen this kind of large-scale support in concerts and football fields. It's not that there is no such scene in the track and field field. It's really too rare.

Oh, by the way, it seems that this kind of picture is also common at the scene of the lifting and wrestling competition in the past two years, so everyone's mentality is much more optimistic. After all, before them, there are lifting and wrestling athletes who have been hit like this.

For Meng fan, a newcomer who suddenly entered the field of track and field, the vast majority of people certainly welcome this. Meng fan's performance in lifting the wrestling triathlon is definitely going to go down in history. Although he has not retired, there is no problem directly giving the title of a legendary athlete. For such athletes, the vast majority of athletes are of course respected, regardless of whether someone doesn't like the character of waves everywhere.

Moreover, non javelin shot putters have no conflict of interest, and there is no repulsion. If you are a javelin shot putter, there is nothing to say. Meng fan's previous results in the Asian Track and field Grand Prix make them sour. They are too clear what Meng fan's results represent. The best result this year is not because others are not better than or do not compare with good results, but really can't compare!

Of course, it is not absolute. There must be a small group of people who are dissatisfied with Meng fan's appearance on the track and field. For example, the most united South Korean athletes will always share the same hatred for Meng fan no matter what event, level or occasion.

As for the American athletes Meng fan has just visited, it may be for various reasons. On the contrary, they may be more enthusiastic about Meng fan than athletes from other countries. Basically, they have teased UFC about Meng fan's Ko monster and think it's quite cola. Of course, those who hate Meng fan can't say no, but there must be many people who admire and like Meng fan. In their view, Meng fan is arrogant and no one can kill him. They like this character and feel familiar and kind.

"Meng! Welcome to the shot put family!"

"My God, I finally saw you! I really like your game. I watch every game of yours!"

"Too excited, too happy! Can you give me the same hug, Meng!"

During the recording, Meng fan met a group of very enthusiastic athletes. To his surprise, these are shot putters and opponents who will compete with him on the same stage.

Is the atmosphere a little too good?

Is it really easier for big men to collide with passion?

Meng fan played shot put behind closed doors, and basically had no contact with the international shot put industry. He also played a game at the Asian Grand Prix, let alone outside Asia.

Of course, he has heard some things about shot put in the world - most of them heard from Gong Huang - the most famous thing is the shot put "troika", that is, the three shot put masters, Crusoe, cowatts of the United States and Wallace of New Zealand.

These three people are now the leaders of shot put, and the champions of world-class competitions are basically produced from these three people. The competition between the three people is very fierce, but there is also friendly, and often train together, which is a very benign competition. If there are any new players or players who have made great achievements, the three of them will also train or communicate together.

The reason why there is such an atmosphere is mainly because there is a big mountain on their head. Their dream is to make common progress and work together to lift the mountain before the peak of competition recedes.

This mountain is no other than the world record of men's shot put, which has been dusty for 31 years. The "age" of this record is older than all of them.

Over the years, these leaders have basically won the honors and Champions one by one. Now I think it is in this generation that they have broken the record.

After all, this record is really hard to break.

Generally speaking, those with a length of 21 meters can basically win places or cards in international competitions, and those with a length of more than 22 meters can also win cards or even gold in world-class competitions.

For the three carriages now, the number of times to cross 22.5 meters is not much. The latest record of the Olympic Games is the 22.61 meters thrown by Ryan Crusoe in 20 years, and the best result in the past decade is the 22.65 meters thrown by Kovac shortly after Meng fan touched the shot put - it was not long before Meng fan's 22.66 meters were covered. What is more interesting is that Wallace threw 22.67 meters not long ago, but the level of the event is not enough. IAAF does not record and does not recognize it.

The above figure is basically the top score of shot put now, and the world record is 23.12 meters, which was set in the 1990s.

For the current troika, it is necessary for someone to take the lead in breaking the 23 meter mark before they have the opportunity to reach this record. It seems to be a distant future. Fortunately, these three are very young, have not really reached their limits, and have the potential to climb.

Of course, the 16-20 Olympic Games came, and the timeline was pulled open. It was inevitable that they were a little disappointed. Originally, they were confident that someone could reach the 23 meter mark 20 years ago. As a result, the threshold was not touched.

So now, Meng fan, who can throw 22.66 meters, is suddenly shot. They are very happy and want to find an exciting person to catch up with each other.

Carriage 3+1!

After completing the recording in the greetings, the shot putters entered the field together.

At this time, the competition has already started in the stadium, and the men's 400 meters, high jump and women's pole vault have all completed the competition.

Meng fan and others entered the stadium, which attracted loud applause and fierce screams from the audience on the stand. Well, it was mainly directed at Meng fan. At the same time, it also attracted many sports professionals. They not only looked at Meng fan's, but also the lineup of athletes in today's shot put event is really a little dazzling.

In terms of the world ranking alone, regardless of the influence of the event, even apart from Meng fan, the athletes participating in the shot put competition this time are also the heavyweight. The top 20 to 16 players in the shot put field are definitely the highest in all events. Take the men's 100 meters as an example, there are nine in the top 20 and one in the top three in the world.

Laymen look at Meng fan, experts look at the overall lineup, and relevant media reporters have issued such titles early——

Shot put: the first general attack to the 31 year old world record

This is indeed the most luxurious lineup in the shot put industry in the past decade. All are armed, and the fourth place is 22.5 meters!
