Yao Ming and Liu Xiang are both iconic figures in China sports. One represents the height of the country and the other represents the speed of China. In fact, it is difficult to compare them horizontally, and who has made greater achievements in sports history. If we just talk about the results, I think Liu Xiang wants to beat Yao Ming completely.
We all know that Liu Xiang broke many China records in the 1 10 meter hurdle, the first hurdler to win an Olympic champion, the first track and field athlete to win a grand slam and the first track and field athlete to break the world record. It can be said that since he was born in 2004, he won the Olympic gold medal by tying the world record, which filled the gap of Chinese people in this project.
We should all know that before Liu Xiang, the field of track and field sprint in Europe and America was always dominated by blacks. Before him, American Allen Johnson dominated the field of 1 100 meter hurdles for a long time. The appearance of Liu Xiang pushed the expectations of Chinese people to a climax. Unfortunately, in 2008 and 20 12 Olympic Games, he had to retire due to injury.
Yao Ming's influence is enormous.
But I think Yao Ming's influence on China fans is enormous. For the first time, we can see China people in the world's highest level basketball league. Moreover, he participated in the competition as the absolute main force, much better than the previous players such as Dazhi and Bater.
Many people say that because of Yao Ming's height and China market, NBA teams take a fancy to him. This statement is actually inaccurate. Why did Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue and now qi zhou all fail, but he succeeded? Personally, I think it is because of his own efforts. Of course, the rocket must have considered the Asian market behind him.
They are both the pride of China.
There is a famous saying in NBA: There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. They won't bring Yao Ming here for no reason. If it was only for economic reasons, Yi Jianlian and other players would have been able to play for a long time. Why didn't you hit it? The reason is simple, the ability can't meet their requirements.
The only regret is that 20 1 1 was forced to retire due to injury. At that time, CCTV broadcast the whole process live. Everyone thinks about how much attention this is, which shows how influential he is. It is not an exaggeration to say that Yao Ming is the messenger of basketball exchange between China and the United States.
Therefore, both Yao Ming and Liu Xiang are the pride of China. Yao Ming was elected to the Hall of Fame, and his 1 1 jersey was permanently hung over the Toyota Center, which is the respect of Americans. Although Liu Xiang didn't make any achievements after his retirement, there is no need to question his ability just because he won all the hurdles. Personally, it is meaningless to discuss who has achieved more and who has achieved less.
There is no doubt that Liu Xiang and Liu Xiang made history, and Yao can only be said to be a great basketball player. Some people say that Yao Ming is in the Basketball Hall of Fame. Can the performance of the Basketball Hall of Fame be compared with that of sprint world champion Liu Xiang?
Yao Ming is great enough, and Liu Xiang is destined to be a legend. Yao Ming's greatness lies in improving the influence of China basketball and China culture in the world, and Liu's legend lies in breaking the limit of yellow race in track and field history. He won the championship for 30 times in 40 games. He is the first Grand Slam member in the history of track and field to set the world record, the Olympic Games and the World Championships, and he is also the yellow race who broke the Olympic Games record and the world record in the shortest time. Without Robles' hand holding Liu, the 20 1 1 Daegu World Championships would probably set a new world record of 1 10 meter hurdles. As far as sports achievements are concerned, there may be another Yao Ming in China in 30 or 50 years, but Liu Xiang's height and influence in the field of track and field, just like the national football team qualifying and winning the World Cup ranking, is unmatched by the whole of Asia for a hundred years, and there will be no success after Liu Xiang!
They are both the pride of China. If I have achieved something, I may like Liu Xiang better. Of course, different people have different opinions. Let's start with Liu Xiang. On August 28th, 2004, in the men's 1 10 meter hurdles final of Athens Olympic Games, Liu Xiang tied the world record set by British athlete colin jackson with12.91. Won the gold medal, became the first men's Olympic champion in track and field in China, and created the myth of China people in the men's 1 100 meter hurdles! It also created a black monopoly in track and field. On August 2, 2005, Liu Xiang won the second place in the 10th World Athletics Championships with a time of 13.08 seconds. With a slight disadvantage of 0.0 1 sec, he missed the precious opportunity to win the Olympic Games and the World Championships, but he created the best result of China male athletes in the history of the World Championships. On September 17, 2005, Liu Xiang won the Shanghai International Golden Grand Prix in 13.05 seconds, creating the second best result in his personal sports career at that time. Although Liu Xiang was injured and retired in the later period, Liu Xiang played an important role in promoting the track and field career in China.
On July 2006 1 1, Liu Xiang won the gold medal in the track and field super grand prix with a score of 12.88, which broke the world record of 12.9 1 set by British great colin jackson after sleeping for 13 years. This is also the only time that the Asian men's 1 10 meter hurdles have broken the world record so far.
Let's talk about Yao Ming and Yao Ming. They also play an important role in the development of basketball in China. They also let China people know about NBA, promoted the internationalization of China basketball, promoted China basketball to the world, and led China basketball to the quarterfinals of the Olympic Games, which can be said to be epoch-making. Let foreigners realize that we also have excellent basketball players in China.
In a word, both of them have an indelible effect on the development of sports in China.
Liu Xiang participated in more than 50 official competitions, 48 of which were successfully on the podium. It can be said that at the peak of Liu Xiang's career, he had unparalleled dominance over the world men's 1 10 meter hurdles! Liu Xiang is higher.
There is no doubt that in terms of professional achievement, Liu Xiang is higher than Yao Ming.
Yao Ming plays basketball, and Liu Xiang specializes in 165438+ 100 meter hurdles. These two completely different sports can not directly measure who is weak and who is strong, but can compare their achievements in their respective fields.
Liu Xiang is the first athlete to win many honors in the history of sports track and field in China and in the history of Asian track and field, including Olympic champion, indoor and outdoor world champion, IAAF Grand Prix final champion and world record holder.
To put it simply, Liu Xiang was once identified as 1 in this project. Although Yao Ming is the first No.1 scholar with no American basketball background and an All-Star Ticket King, he has never won any championship honor in Olympic Games, World Championships and NBA in his career. Personally, his achievements in the field of basketball are not as good as O 'Neal, Kobe Bryant, James, or even as good as Pau Gasol.
This is an achievement in the professional field. But 1 10 meter hurdle is a very unpopular and niche sport. Liu Xiang made more people know about this sport through his own efforts, but it can't be equated with football and ball games. Basketball in Yao Ming has a broad mass base and developed commercial packaging. When it comes to influence, Yao Ming is better.
There is no doubt that they are all athletes who win glory for their country, but in terms of performance, Liu Xiang's performance is even higher. After all, they broke the historical record.
Liu Xiang, there is no doubt. Quite simply, Liu Xiang ranks first in the world in their respective fields, and Yao Ming is only the leader of the China team. Liu Xiang is a Grand Slam champion. He is an Olympic champion, a world champion and a World Cup champion. He is the record holder of 1 100 meter hurdles in this Olympic Games, and also set a world record. Although Yao Ming is not a ceiling figure in his field, Yao Ming's success is largely due to the commercialization and capital market, as well as the background that the NBA needs to open the China market. Strictly speaking, the two are not at the same level in sports.
Although Liu Xiang is the Olympic champion in track and field, it still can't compare with Yao Ming, because basketball is a big sport, and its international influence is far greater than 1 100 meter hurdles. In addition, Yao Ming's outstanding performance in the NBA and the positive reputation brought to the country are incomparable.
Besides himself, Yao Ming's achievements are supported by supermarkets in China. If he hadn't come from China, he wouldn't have reached the present height with his ability. Liu Xiang relies on hard power, and the talent of the yellow race in sprint is far less than that of the black and white race. Liu Xiang won the competition with perfect hurdling skills, and also won respect and achievements. If you really want to compare, Liu Xiangyuan is above Yao Ming.
