鸿门宴

7月17日，2022田径世锦赛女子铅球决赛尘埃落定。    The World Health Organization (WHO) has revealed that the new BA.2.75 sub-lineage of the Omicron variant of COVID has been detected in India.,"In Europe and America, BA.4 and BA.5 are driving waves. In countries like India, a new sub-lineage of BA.2.75 has also been detected, which we're following," WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at a press briefing on Wednesday.,He said that new COVID cases reported worldwide have spiked by nearly 30 percent.,Experts say the BA.2.75 variant includes new mutations in the spike protein, in addition to mutations that are already present in the Omicron variant.,This allows it to evade several antibodies and can infect people who have been vaccinated or infected previously. The detection of BA.2.75 has led scientists across the globe to dive deep into the research to learn more about the new variant and the possibility of another COVID wave.,In India, the BA.5 sub-variant has been detected in the states of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, West Bengal, Maharashtra, Telangana, Delhi, Haryana, Gujarat, and the Ladakh union territory as well.,WHO Chief Scientist Soumya Swaminathan said in a video posted on Twitter that there has been an emergence of a sub-variant called the BA.2.75, "first reported from India and then from about 10 other countries.",Swaminathan said there are still limited sequences available of the sub-variant to analyze, "but this sub-variant seems to have a few mutations on the receptor-binding domain of the spike protein. So obviously, that's a key part of the virus that attaches itself to the human receptor.","So we have to watch that. It's still too early to know if this sub-variant has properties of additional immune evasion or indeed of being more clinically severe. We don't know that," she added.,Last week, Dr. Shay Fleishon, an Israeli scientist, claimed that a new coronavirus variant had hit 10 Indian states and sparked concerns of a fourth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.,The current daily positive test rate is, however, is around 4.32 percent, down from around 16-17 percent in January 2022, the peak of the first Omicron wave.。第八次出征田径世锦赛的巩立姣，最终以0.1米的差距不敌美国选手伊利，以20米39获得一枚银牌。

二 | 此战巩立姣没能完成她心心念念的世锦赛三连冠的目标。但相信喊出“谁还嫌冠军多呢”豪言的巩立姣，仍然会昂首重回赛场，拿回更多的冠军，并完成突破21米的极限任务。受到疫情影响，巩立姣在这个赛季没能出国参加世界大赛。不过在国内选拔赛期间，巩立姣多次投出20米开外的成绩，展示了不错的状态。来到田径世锦赛的舞台，巩立姣发挥稳定。在资格赛上，巩立姣第一轮投出18.74米，随后第二投以19.51米的全场最佳成绩轻松晋级。

三 | “我想把最佳状态调到明天。”预赛后的巩立姣霸气十足。

决赛中，俄勒冈大学的体育场，尤金世锦赛主场，给予东道主美国格外的动力。美国选手查斯·伊利第一投就突破了20米大关，成绩达到20.49米，这给予其他选手极大的心理压力。第一投巩立姣投出19.59米，开始向领先者发起挑战，第二投她的成绩提升到19.84米，第三投20.23米，第四投20.08米，第五投20.39米。随着巩立姣的身体越来越热，她也一次次突破20米大关，一步步缩小着差距。

五 | 可惜最后一投巩立姣的成绩为19.89米，最终没能超越伊利，以0.1米差距获得亚军。而20.39米也是巩立姣的赛季最好成绩。队友宋佳媛以19.57米获得第六名。八次参加世锦赛，多次站上过领奖台的巩立姣，给予外界的印象是“不拿冠军就是失败”。这当然不对。

六 | 第七次站上田径世锦赛领奖台的巩立姣，她的成绩已足够辉煌：2次冠军、2次亚军、3次季军。这是谁也拿不走的光荣榜。相信巩立姣不会就此善罢甘休。

七 | 毕竟除了赢得冠军，巩立姣还有更高的梦想。“我以前的梦想是在奥运会上赢得冠军，但我的终极梦想是成绩能够突破21米，我也希望下届奥运会之前，或者是巴黎奥运会上，能突破自己，达到自己的极限。”巩立姣说。文/本报记者 褚鹏 本版供图/新华社
