When Aries Merritt shot out of the blocks to deny Liu Xiang victory in the 60-meter hurdles, he clinched more than just an unlikely victory. The American hurdler, who was thought to have little chance against the Chinese great, won the title and cemented a record gold medal haul for the U.S. team at the world indoor championships.
北京時(shí)間3月11日，第14屆世界室內(nèi)田徑錦標(biāo)賽在土耳其伊斯坦布爾進(jìn)行男子60米欄決賽。美國選手梅里特以7秒44獲得冠軍，中國選手劉翔則在第二個(gè)欄出現(xiàn)了失誤，以7秒49獲得亞軍。
Merritt set the pace in his final. Fastest out of the blocks, he even got the better of Liu, the 2004 Olympic champion who was trying out a new start with one step less to the first hurdle to keep the opposition at bay.
本次室內(nèi)世錦賽，劉翔的主要對(duì)手羅伯斯、奧利弗等都缺陣，唯一能給劉翔帶來壓力的僅是美國選手梅里特。正是這位美國小將，在與劉翔的直接對(duì)決中，拿到了自己的第一個(gè)世界冠軍。“梅里特的最好成績也達(dá)到了7秒43，他在比賽中也非常拼，恭喜他，這是他第一個(gè)世界冠軍。”輸?shù)舯荣惖膭⑾栾@得十分大度，并沒有輕視這名后起之秀。
When Liu saw the blur of Merritt, it immediately unsettled him."I knew Aries Merritt is a fast starter," Liu said. "So I got out in a rush and was not able to control my technique."
在決賽中，劉翔的起跑出現(xiàn)了一些問題，導(dǎo)致第二個(gè)欄時(shí)碰到了欄，使得速度下降，7秒49的成績并不能令劉翔感到滿意。“起跑反應(yīng)有點(diǎn)慢，過了第一個(gè)欄就想迅速加起來，結(jié)果在第二個(gè)欄碰到了腳。”劉翔在分析當(dāng)時(shí)的情況時(shí)說，“沒什么感受，自己沒有發(fā)揮好，還是有點(diǎn)遺憾。我對(duì)第二名的名次還是很滿意的，但對(duì)成績不是很滿意。”
