Run Out of My Life - Chapter 322
September 10, 16:45 pm.
The women’s 1500m race just ended, Bahrain’s Mariam Yusuf Jamal won the championship, Russia’s Tatyana Tomasova and Soboleva won the runner-up and 2nd runner-up.
At 16:50, the men’s 100-meter race in the IAAF Finals officially started.
As the finale of the IAAF Finals, the contestants of this competition are the best athletes in the current men’s 100 meters.
When the men’s 100m athlete appeared at the Gottlieb Daimler Stadium, the nearly full 40,000 spectators applauded.
The much-anticipated time has come.
“Suzu, come on!”
“Suzu, Suzu…”
Su Zu stood in the middle of the stadium track, and was a little dazed for a while. From a distance, you could see many five-star red flags fluttering in the audience.
When watching Liu Yangyu’s game yesterday, he had already noticed that there were many overseas Chinese and international students at the scene. However, although the atmosphere of yesterday’s game in Gottlieb Daimler Stadium was warm, the audience There are still seats that are not full, and today was a real full house. As soon as you enter the stadium, it is almost overwhelming clamor and shouting.
One of the most important reasons why the atmosphere is so frenetic is that the men’s 100-meter trapeze battle in the Zurich Golden League last month will be staged again in Stuttgart today.
Powell did not miss the men’s 100-meter race in the IAAF Finals.
Asafa Powell is back.
Standing in the middle of the track, Asafa Powell raised his hands aloft as the live broadcast introduced the athletes.
Countless cheers came from all directions.
Most of them were European German audiences, but there were also a small number of Jamaicans waving the Jamaican flag.
When Powell stood on the track of the IAAF Finals again, these Jamaicans had a feeling of tears in their eyes.
The pride of Jamaica, Asafa Powell did not avoid fighting because he lost to Suzu.
After a Super Grand Prix and a Grand Prix, Powell spent almost two weeks making mental and physical adjustments.
He is back.
9 seconds 74 is not his end, he will challenge Su Zu again.
The duel between Su Zu and Powell has been hot since June this year, and until now in September, as long as there are two people competing on the same field, it is basically the biggest attraction of the game. The games are almost always the hottest classic duels.
Although Powell did not face Suzu in the next two Golden League games, his performance in a Super Grand Prix and a Grand Prix was not weak at all.
Moreover, anyone with a discerning eye can see that at this stage, apart from the suspended Justin Gatlin, Powell is the most capable of challenging Su Zu. The gap between the two is really weak.
Powell played very well in every game. In 2005, Powell first set a national record of 9.84 at the Jamaica International Invitational in May, and set a world record of 9.77 in June. In 2005, due to injury, he failed to make a trip and missed the World Championships.
In the 2006 season, Powell’s state was bursting after recovering from injury. Except for the four Golden League losses that he encountered directly with Suzu, Powell has been in almost all games from the beginning of the season to the present. win.
And even in the four games lost to Su Zu, the gap was extremely small.
If there is no Su Zu, it can be said that this will be Powell’s most successful season, but unfortunately compared to Powell, Su Zu is better in terms of stability.
2006 was also Suzu’s best season. Breaking world records twice, winning six Gold League titles and taking on Justin Gatlin and Asafa Powell head-on, both victories.
The results analyzed by many experts in Europe and even the world are similar to what Li Zhizhong said before, that is, Su Zu is a competitive player, and when he is strong, he is strong. The creation of two world records is both Completed under the pressure of being challenged by a formidable opponent.
On the runway at this time, Su Zu looked at Asafa Powell, who had not seen him for more than half a month, and the two had not communicated much since the check-in area.
Between each other, occasionally looking at each other, it seems that sparks can emerge.
It was a tacit competition.
No need for too much language communication, as long as you go to the track, you are on the battlefield, and there is only one champion.
Tyson Gay and Leonard Scott, who were standing on the side, also looked very solemn. Compared with the occasional chat and laughter of the Golden League before, the atmosphere of the game seemed to be smoked in the air. Condensed in general.
Several other Nigerian players, Orusoki Fasuba, who were invited to participate, looked at the expressions of several people, and there was a sense of anxiety as two tigers competed for a pack of wolves cruising outside.
Such fierce competition is not much better than the Olympic Games and World Championships.
A lot more intense than that.
Except for Su Zu, who was the champion of the Olympic Games and World Championships, the other players broke out after 2005. In a sense, the IAAF Finals is the most important one for them to participate in big game.
Professional athletes have competitors and important competitions, and no one can easily relax.
…
“I didn’t expect Powell to really come back.”
Li Zhizhong frowned as he looked at the black Jamaican players who were greeted by countless cheers.
After four defeats in the Golden League, Li Zhizhong judged that Powell had a high probability not to challenge Su Zu again, but who would have thought that he did not fall.
“Director Li, will we be a little underprepared for this match?”
Zhang Pingqiu’s heart twitched slightly. Like Li Zhizhong, he really did not expect that Asafa Powell would be able to summon the courage to compete with Su Zu again.
“It’s a little careless.”
Li Zhizhong sighed lightly, and it was already this morning that he got the list of the Golden League finalists.
The IAAF Finals invites athletes to participate based on the performance of the annual players, and Powell is naturally one of them. After two Golden League games, no one expected that Powell would kill a carbine.
Compared to the state, Powell did not race again after the Italian Rietti Grand Prix on August 27, and he must be better than Suzu in terms of state maintenance and physical rest.
In comparison, Su Zu has basically played one game after another since July, and returned to China to participate in the national championship in early August.
Come back in August to make some adjustments, and it will be the Zurich Golden League soon.
In September, Su Zu also participated in one more Berlin Golden League on September 3. In terms of fatigue, Su Zu must have surpassed Powell.
Moreover, the most important thing is to prepare for Powell’s competition. The coaching staff has not done enough work. At this time, I am really worried that Su Zu’s mental construction will not be enough.
After all, this is Powell, and his strength is not weaker than Su Zu. In terms of overall results in 2006, Su Zu ran 9 seconds 73, 9 seconds 77, and the other side also ran 9 seconds Seconds 74 and 9 seconds 77, there are also a number of results within 9 seconds 90 in various Grand Prix races.
If an opponent like this is a little careless, it is likely that the only person who suffers will be himself.
Li Zhizhong will be a little bit remorseful because when Su Zu broke the world record for the first time before, he was still persuading Su Zu to stabilize his mind.
In the end, Su Zu broke the world record for the second time, and he did not feel that he had the mentality of standing at the top and overlooking other players.
This is a very normal psychology. For the first time breaking the world record, everyone was very worried that it would be broken immediately, especially when Powell equaled Su Zu’s world record, Li Zhizhong spent almost the whole night Couldn’t sleep the whole night. It was not until Su Zu faced Powell head-on in the Zurich Gold League that he was completely relieved.
Especially Powell’s absence from the two Golden Leagues in Brussels and Berlin, Li Zhizhong felt that his psychology had swelled up invisibly, thinking that the other party would not dare to fight.
As a result, in the IAAF Finals, Asafa Powell appeared, and the opponent suddenly came back.
The list of players for the IAAF Finals is different from the list of other players. It is registered or invited in advance, but the list is confirmed after the last Berlin Golden League competition on September 3. .
After I got the list of contestants this morning, I suddenly found out that Powell was participating. This is completely underestimated.
Because according to the competition rules, if a player is absent, the IAAF will send an invitation to the next player with enough points, but in fact no new player is invited to participate.
If Li Zhizhong or other team members had a little understanding with the IAAF, it would be impossible to wait until the athlete group information was obtained this morning.
“Now we can only see Su Zu’s adjustment.”
Old Li sighed, looking at Su Zu who was standing on the fourth track in the middle of the arena. At this time, I hope that Su Zu will not be disrupted by this unexpected situation.
…
In fact, Su Zu was really surprised that Powell came to the competition.
Especially there has been no news in this regard before, and this morning, I suddenly learned that Powell is going to participate.
If you were an ordinary athlete, Su Zu would definitely not take it so seriously, neither would Li Zhizhong and Zhang Pingqiu.
But Asafa Powell’s sudden participation, even if Su Zu has won the opponent many times, but just like Justin Gatlin, Su Zu is still not sure that he can play in the next game. Victory again.
They are all the strongest sprinters in this era, no matter in that time and space, or in this era, they are well-deserved leaders.
At this stage, Su Zu knew very well that he and Powell and the suspended Gatlin’s strength seemed to be different, far from being absolutely superior.
Powell came to the competition, which first caught Su Zu a little off guard, but soon, Su Zu felt a burst of flames in his heart.
Boiling, exhilarating, cheering when faced with an opponent.
Su Zu examines his heart, and he feels more and more clearly that he likes challenges.
The feeling of playing against the top players is really different from ordinary games.
Within 9 seconds 90. A little more serious, and even able to reach 9 seconds 80.
And then, if he wants to go further and make his grades better, he needs external stimulation.
It takes the kind of huge pressure that top players give him, so that he can mobilize all the strength of his body from the inside to the outside, and deal with it nervously, cautiously, and carefully.
Only under such heavy pressure can he explode, and how much potential he does not know is hidden in the data-based attributes.
And here comes Powell.
In 2006, when he was suspended in Gatlin, before Tyson Gay was in his prime, and in 2006 when the Jamaican Lightning was still training hard, Powell was his strongest contender.
Only such top athletes can squeeze out their maximum strength.
After breaking the world record for the second time, Su Zu already felt the urgency of time.
2006 has entered September, and soon it will be 2007, and then will be 2008, and his performance improvement in this year is far from enough.
He needs more training, more games, stronger opponents.
Powell’s arrival, Su Zu felt excited from the bottom of his heart, the strongest opponent, the most intense competition, higher, faster, stronger, this is competition.
It’s been a while!
