Run Out of My Life - Chapter 345
The Osaka World Championships is the 11th World Athletics Championships under the auspices of the IAAF. The competition time is from August 25 to September 2, 2007.
A total of 212 IAAF members participated in the competition, with as many as 1978 athletes participating, which is by far the largest number of athletes participating in the World Championships.
Osaka joined Budapest in Hungary and Berlin in Germany to express their willingness to bid for the 2007 World Championships after failing to bid for the 2008 Olympics. Following the IAAF deadline of 1 October 2002, both Budapest and Berlin withdrew their bids and on 15 November 2002 announced Osaka as the only remaining candidate. Berlin later successfully bid to host the 2009 World Championships.
From the early morning of August 25th, the game in Yong (Chang)jing Stadium has already kicked off.
At 10:20 in the morning, when Su Zu crossed the corridor and entered the track and field, he felt the heat wave coming from the pavement. At this time, the local temperature in Osaka had exceeded 35°C, and the ground seemed to be baked.
Because of the hot summer weather, the men’s marathon, the first major event of the World Championships, started at 7 am local time, and 94 top marathon runners from all over the world started Championship race.
The hot weather in Osaka began to show its power around 8:00, which also affected the progress of the game. When the race was 5 kilometers away, 6 competitors had already withdrawn from the race.
The Chinese team was wiped out. The 5 Chinese players who participated in the competition failed to enter the top 30 in the final practice. The Chinese player who ran the best was a huge gap of nearly 14 minutes from the champion Kenyan Kibet.
Kibet, a Kenyan prison guard, performed perfectly in the marathon. After running for 90 minutes and more than 30 kilometers, he stood out and started to lead the race. When he ran to 35 kilometers, he was already ahead by 23 seconds. In the end, he crossed the finish line first in 2 hours, 15 minutes and 59 seconds.
The 3,000-meter obstacle course after the marathon poured cold water on the Chinese team – three female generals of the Chinese team went into battle, but none of them played their due level and failed to enter the final .
Starting from the men’s marathon at 7:00 in the morning, the women’s heptathlon 100-meter hurdles, men’s shot put, women’s 3000-meter obstacle course, women’s heptathlon high jump, and men’s 1500-meter competitions were held successively. The Chinese team did not win, or the next round of the final semi-final.
The first morning of the competition is now, the Chinese army can only wait for the men’s 100-meter preliminaries to see Su Zu’s performance next.
The men’s 100-meter preliminaries started at 11:10 in the morning. There were a total of eight preliminaries. Su Zu was in the fourth preliminaries.
At this time, in the track and field, although the attendance rate was not particularly high, the atmosphere was okay.
Only 46% of seats were sold before August 20, and less than half of the opening ceremony was held yesterday. The main reason was the weather, as well as factors such as higher ticket prices.
Just walking into the track and field and waiting for the start of the game, Su Zu and the other seven preliminaries in the same group were all sweaty.
And the audience who can still walk into the track and field to watch the game in such a hot summer is undoubtedly true love. When Su Zu appeared on the track and field, he still won a lot of cheers.
The first Asian native to run under 10 seconds, the first men’s 100-meter 200-meter double champion, and the current men’s 100-meter world record holder, Su Zu is not lacking in Japan fans and fans.
East Asia, China, Japan and South Korea, no matter what their views on Japan are, at least in the world arena, it can be said that Japan has left Korea more than a street.
And Osaka, Japan is not as far away from Europe as the previous Helsinki World Championships, and there are obviously many more overseas Chinese from China to Osaka, Japan to watch the game and the local Chinese than the previous one.
In the stadium with tens of thousands of people, the flags were fluttering, and Su Zu looked up and glanced for a while, and he could see in the frontmost auditorium, from time to time, there were single people or acquaintances, waving the red flag together.
Su Zu stood on the sixth track and looked at the 100-meter track. The facilities of the World Championships were obviously more advanced than when he participated in the Grand Prix before.
To record the competitive state of the players on the field.
A total of 68 players participated in the men’s 100m race, and they were divided into eight preliminaries, of which the first, second, sixth and seventh groups were nine contestants, and the other preliminary The group is eight.
Su Zu was sitting in the fourth group of the preliminaries. In front of him, famous players such as Tyson Gay, Asahara Xuanji, Kim Collins and Derek Atkins advanced smoothly.
The sixth track where Su Zu was in the preliminaries was good, relatively in the middle, because there were only eight players in his preliminaries group, and the track arrangement started directly from the second track.
The second is Richard Thompson of Trinidad and Tobago, the third is Anson Henry of Canada, and the fourth is Idrisa Sanu of Burkina Faso , Mark Gilkes of the United States in the fifth, Suzu in the sixth, Sloan Sanitoa in American Samoa in the seventh, Franklin Nazareno of Ecuador in the eighth, and David in the Spanish in the ninth. Rodriguez.
Seven players competing on the same field, Suzu, except Richard Thompson and Mark Gilkes, are basically unfamiliar with other players.
A large number of newcomers emerge every year in the world field altar, and there are not many people who can reach the AB standard of the World Championships on a global scale. Many of the players who can reach this standard are only in excellent personal condition and have achieved results that meet the entry standards in some regional competitions. Also often not satisfactory.
However, for many players, it is a rare competition experience to be able to set foot on such a top field and be on the same starting line with the current top players.
After the start of the gunshots, Su Zu ran at his own pace, but did not go all out.
His competition in this World Championships is also very dense. The first day of August 25th is the men’s 100m preliminary and semi-finals, and August 26th is the men’s 100m semi-final and final , followed by the men’s 200m and men’s 4x100m relay events.
The level of this group of players is also a relatively low group among the many preliminaries.
Su Zu easily won the first place in the group with a time of 10.05 seconds, while Richard Thompson, who was second in the group, was only 10.29 seconds.
Beyond Su Zu’s expectations, American player Mark Gilkes, who this year ranked third in the 60m in the Boston Indoor Games and fourth in the 100m in the US Indoor Games , It seems that because of injury and nervousness, he only ran out of 13.64 seconds. Compared to the seventh American Samoa Sloane Sanitoa’s 12.64 seconds, it was a full second slower, and unfortunately he was out.
In the morning’s first round of the men’s 100m preliminaries, 68 scored 32, and the strong players basically focused on preserving their physical fitness. Except for Suzu, neither Tyson Gay nor Asafa Powell ran under 10.10.
There was no match in the afternoon due to the extremely hot weather in the area.
The competitions continued until 18:00.
The men’s 100m rematch was scheduled at 19:15. Unlike the preliminaries in the morning, at this stage of the rematch, basically all participating athletes began to exert their strength. 32 into 16, which is also half the quota. At this time, the competition has become increasingly fierce, and players of average level may be tricked by a little carelessness.
Four rematch groups, Asafa Powell ranked in the first group of the rematch, the first to start with a score of 10 seconds 01, followed by Tyson Gay in the second group of the rematch also ran out It took 10.06 seconds to advance to the first place in the group.
The third group of the semi-finals where Su Zu was in, the athletes competing in the same group were already familiar faces he knew. Except for the group place where Su Zu ran for 10.03 seconds, the Dutch Leith’s Curanti Martina followed with 10.10, British star Mark Lewis Francis’ 10.17, and Jamaican’s Nesta Carter’s 10.23, all beginning to show. The strength of the world’s top players.
With the end of the preliminaries and semi-finals of the men’s 100m event on the first day, major Japanese TV stations and many experts have written articles to warm up the semi-finals and finals on the second day.
Many Tiantan people believe that the runway of Nagai Stadium in Osaka, Japan is very easy to achieve good results because of the use of high-tech technology.
Su Zu, Powell, and Guy obviously all ran into 10 seconds 10 while they had obvious strength in the back 20 or 30 meters.
Judging from today’s performance, the three of them are in very good condition. Needless to say, Su Zu has regained the top spot since the Paris Golden League and returned to a super high level of personal competition.
Powell suffered a groin strain in the 2007 Kingston Dental Championships. According to the current situation, he has also adjusted to the best state.
Tyson Gay won the double championship at the American Championships in Indianapolis this year with 9.84 and 19.62 seconds. Due to the low temperature and headwind after the rain, the competition was reduced at that time. and training times, while looking at the performance of the men’s 100m preliminaries and rematches on the first day.
All three became the well-deserved group leaders and entered a state of intense competition.
And compared to Su Zu, Powell and Guy have not won any world championships so far. Since the war was declared early in the morning, both of them are the first in the 100m final. A must.
Whether Su Zu, the double champion of the last World Championships, can successfully defend his title, and whether he will be ousted by two people in the World Championships, has also become the object of discussion among many media and audiences.
At this time, some large European and American gaming companies have already opened bets on the World Championships 100m champion, and there are also various discussions on the domestic Internet at this time.
A “Mars hitting the Earth” battle is inevitable, who will be the fastest person on the planet, let’s wait and see!
