Run Out of My Life - Chapter 321

    September 2006 is almost the last month of the season.

    But this year, because of the Asian Games, the 2006 season will definitely be delayed until December. However, Li Zhizhong knew the level of players in the Asian Games, but he did not take it too seriously.

    In Li Zhizhong’s view, the remaining games in September are the highlights.

    The IAAF Finals in Stuttgart, Germany on September 9. This is the first time that Su Zu has participated in the IAAF Finals. As the champion of the Golden League six stations, Su Zu will naturally not be absent. And in this game, Asafa Powell will not necessarily give up, this is a very high-level game in the IAAF.

    September 16th to 17th at the Athletics World Cup in Athens, Greece, this game is equally important. At this stage of the World Cup, Su Zu and Liu Yangyu are basically the signature players. Li Zhizhong has considered that if Su Zu’s physical fitness can support it, he will let Su Zu participate in the men’s 100 meters and 200 meters.

    The Magic City Grand Prix on September 23, the meaning of this game is naturally needless to say.

    Su Zu went straight to Stuttgart the next day after finishing the IAAF Golden League Berlin Station on September 3.

    Stuttgart is the sixth largest city in Germany, and its GDP ranks in the top 20 of major European cities. Companies such as Porsche, Bosch, Mercedes-Benz, and Daimler are headquartered here, so Stuttgart is also known as It is called the “cradle of cars”, and the 2006 IAAF World Athletics Finals were held here.

    The IAAF World Athletics Finals is an annual track and field competition held by the International Athletics Federation. Since 2003, it has replaced the original IAAF Grand Prix Finals and is the IAAF World Athletics Series It is also part of the annual climax of the World Athletics Tour.

    The participation mechanism of the IAAF World Athletics Finals is mainly based on the rankings of the 25 IAAF World Athletics Tournaments every year. Rankings are calculated by scoring an athlete’s five best performances (or four best performances in throwing) on ​​the World Athletics Tour.

    Over the course of a year, athletes earn points in numerous events, and the number of points depends on the athlete’s performance in the competition.

    The races with the most points are the IAAF Gold League and the IAAF Super Grand Prix, followed by the Grand Prix in some regions for a limited number of points. But even athletes with enough points must compete in at least one higher-level event to qualify for the World Athletics Finals.

    In seasons with World Championships, the top seven athletes in each championship qualify for the World Athletics Finals. In races over 1,500 meters, the top eleven athletes are allowed to compete in the final.

    In the event of an absent or disqualified athlete, the IAAF will invite other athletes to participate.

    After last year’s World Championships, Su Zu did not participate in the IAAF Finals, so he would naturally continue his qualifications for one athlete.

    But this year’s IAAF Finals Su Zu must participate, because the athletes who won the IAAF Gold League’s $1 million first prize that year must participate in the IAAF Finals to receive the bonus.

    In addition, the 2006 World Athletics Finals consist of 36 events for men and women, and the IAAF will provide more than 3 million US dollars in prize money to encourage athletes to achieve good results.

    The top three athletes in each event will be awarded $30,000, $20,000 and $12,000 respectively. Prizes for 4th to 8th place are $7,000, $5,000, $4,000, $3,000, and $2,000, respectively. In addition, 9th to 12th places in the 1500m, 3000m, 5000m and 3000m steeplechase races will all receive $1000.

    In addition, the IAAF will also give a $100,000 prize to athletes who break the world record in the finals.

    …

    Before 1993, Gottlieb Daimler Stadium was called Neckar Stadium, and after July 30, 2008, the stadium was renamed Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

    The Gottlieb Daimler Stadium has more than 40,000 seats on site, and the entire stadium looks very atmospheric.

    During the refurbishment period prior to the 1993 World Championships in Athletics, the Mercedes-Benz Arena added a feature that differs from most open-air stadiums – the roof.

    The stadium features a unique fabric roof structure made of a precision custom membrane made of PVC-coated polyester, the roof is light and durable enough to withstand 1000 kilograms per square decimeter. Suspended from an aesthetic steel frame weighing approximately 2,700 metric tons around the entire stadium. The steel cables that connect the roof to the frame alone weigh about 420 tonnes.

    Standing in the middle of the stadium, you can clearly see that the facilities and architectural styles of several stadiums in Germany are very tall. The entire large roof makes the audience watching the game very comfortable, and is protected from the wind and the sun.

    From a distance, only the middle part of the football field lawn is open-air, a bit like a circular patio in Chinese architecture.

    In Europe, these comprehensive stadiums can be used for both football and track and field competitions, and the facilities are top-notch in all aspects of the world.

    In 2006, there were not too many first-class stadiums in China. Compared with the requirements of the prosperous football leagues in Europe, the gap between the stadiums is obviously obvious.

    On the afternoon of September 9th, Su Zu, Li Zhizhong and others appeared in the Gottlieb Daimler Stadium. He did not come to participate in the game today, but made a special trip to watch Liu Yangyu’s game .

    The IAAF Finals will be held on September 9th and 10th. Su Zu’s competition in the finals is only the men’s 100 meters, and the competition time is the last on the 10th.

    At 15:35 pm, the men’s 110-meter hurdles officially started.

    Liu Yangyu was in the fifth lane, with Cuban Roberts Jr. and American rookie Merritt on the left and right. Trammell is in the third lane, and three-time Finals champion Alan Johnson is in the eighth lane.

    In the auditorium next to the arena, Su Zu and Li Zhizhong watched the scene of the runway nervously.

    Although Yang Jian, who explained the game, explained to other audience members in front of the TV that Liu Yangyu might be a little nervous, leading to a rush, but Su Zu and Li Zhizhong could clearly see that the other was not nervous, but Intentionally press the gun to run.

    Su Zu looked at Liu Yangyu’s expression, and a hunch rose in his heart.

    Pop! The starting gun was fired a second time.

    Sure enough, Su Zu, who was on the side of the field for a moment, clearly saw that Liu Yangyu’s starting action was very fast. On the timing board next to the track showing the starting reaction time, Liu Yangyu’s starting reaction time was 0.108 seconds within.

    This is an amazing start reaction time, a reaction time within 0.100 seconds is a steal!

    The performance of these two shots completely demonstrated Liu Yangyu’s super psychological quality, and it really made the audience outside the venue tremble.

    In a field like the IAAF Finals, after the first shot, the second shot dared to press the gun to run, and it was successful!

    Su Zu and Li Zhizhong on the sidelines clapped their palms and cheered in unison.

    The closer the coaches and athletes are to the project, the more difficult it is to know.

    After breaking the world record, Su Zu can know how Liu Yangyu feels now. It is really a feeling of self-confidence and omnipotence.

    On the field, the situation is changing.

    Liu Yangyu had a good start, but Robles, who was on his left, and Alan Johnson, who was the most outlandish, were neck and neck with him after the third column.

    The advantage of running with a gun seemed to be overtaken and wiped out at this moment, but Liu Yangyu was very calm and did not panic. With the excellent rhythm between hurdles, after three hurdles, he once again stabilized the first position, and played well in the final sprint stage, leaving other opponents behind and winning the championship with an excellent result of 12.93 seconds.

    Cuban teenager Roberts won the runner-up with 13 seconds, and Alan Johnson also played well, ranking third with 13 seconds 01.

    Seeing such a result, both Su Zu, Li Zhizhong, and Liu Yangyu’s head coach Sun Pingjiang applauded and became excited.

    Many overseas Chinese who came to watch the game on the sidelines even shouted loudly and kept shaking the national flag in their hands.

    12.93 is Liu Yangyu’s third personal run of 13.91, and the other two are 12.91 at the Athens Olympics and 12.88 at the Lausanne Grand Prix.

    In the men’s 110-meter hurdles, this result is almost equal to about 9.77 in the current 100-meter event, which is really eye-catching!

    After Liu Yangyu successfully won the men’s 110m hurdles, the last remaining item was Su Zu’s men’s 100m race.

    In this IAAF Finals, the only Chinese athletes qualified to participate are Su Zu and Liu Yangyu.

    On the afternoon of September 10th, the most important competition of the 2006 IAAF year – the men’s 100-meter trapeze battle, opened again!
