Run Out of My Life - Chapter 347
“…Okay, friends from the audience, the men’s 100-meter semi-final of the Osaka World Championships will begin soon. Eight players have already stood on the starting line. The second track is the 2003 World Championships. Champion Kim Collins, after the injury in 2006, the state of Kim Collins paid this year is not too ideal.

In addition, he He also ran 9 seconds 86 and 9 seconds 83 in the case of super wind speed. This World Championships will also be the best stage for him to show his strength.

We are looking forward to the best performance from all the players, ok, the on-site referee issued the password to prepare, and the players are on the starting block…”
As time passes by, the audience in front of the TV can clearly feel the tense atmosphere of the upcoming competition.
Many viewers sitting in front of the TV couldn’t help sitting up straight, their necks slightly sticking out. There were also many viewers who were about to get up in front of the TV, but at this time, they seemed to have been hit by petrification, staring at the TV screen motionless.
In Nagai Stadium, compared to the hot weather, tens of thousands of spectators were excited.
As the match draws nearer, the noise in the entire arena gradually subsided, but the frenzy that lingered in everyone’s chest and was about to burst out continued to spread.
“Onyourmarks!”
On the field, when Su Zu heard the commander’s prompt on the sidelines, he took a breath and looked straight at the finish line, just like he had done countless times on the track .
The finish line, the desire to win, this is the goal that a competitive sports athlete constantly pursues and surpasses.
Just as rich people don’t dislike too much money, a top athlete will never dislike too many championships. As long as they can, as long as they are in good condition, every player who can stand on the semi-final or final runway has such a strong desire.
Now it is the first group of the semi-finals. Some of the six players on the field can recognize their own level and ability. The ultimate goal is to qualify for the group and enter the final.
And some other players, even in the face of the three top athletes Suzu, Powell and Guy, are not without ideas.
At this time, Derek Atkins, who was standing in the sixth lane, when the starter’s voice sounded, the corner of his eyes swept aside from time to time Suzu and Asafa. Powell.
This year’s amazing Bahamian athlete only entered the world stage this year, but as soon as he debuted, his 100m performance was amazing, comparable to 2006 of Tyson Gay.
In the eyes of Derek Atkins at this time, even Suzu and Powell are not unsurpassable for him. After all, he is one of the few who have won Suzu and Powell this year player.
Powell, who was standing in the fourth lane on the left of Su Zu, looked much calmer than the previous game. Since standing on the track, I didn’t run around anxiously, nor did I move my body anymore, just stood there lazily. It wasn’t until the starter’s password sounded that he suddenly regained his spirits.
It seems that in Powell’s eyes, Suzu does not exist, Derek Atkins does not exist, and neither does other players.
That feeling made Su Zu a little unfamiliar. During this month, Powell’s mentality seems to have undergone a lot of changes that he never expected.
There is no anxiety and tension, only calm and focus on the face.
An opponent like this… Su Zu felt that his body was completely excited!
Although it is a semi-final, although he knows that everyone will have reservations in order to prepare for the final two hours later, he still looks forward to fighting with Asafa Powell again and again.
Stepping on the starting block with both feet, Su Zu felt the most suitable position for the soleplate spikes to fall on the starting block pedal, which was a very solid and powerful feeling.
As long as you step on the starting block with both feet, your body muscles and inner emotions will all enter the state before the competition.
Hot, excited, high-spirited!
“SET!”
On the starting line, the eight runners changed from squatting to half squatting with a whimper.
The audience seemed to forget to speak, applaud and cheer, all staring at the starting line, holding their breath!
As the most watched event in the track and field, the men’s 100-meter race, even if it is only a semi-final, is more worth looking forward to than many final events that can compete for gold and silver.
Pop!
“…the game starts…!”
Yang Jian, who was sitting in the media broadcast booth, screamed loudly at the moment the gunshots sounded.
On the starting line, Asafa Powell fixed his eyes on the final finish line. At the moment when the gunshots sounded, Powell quickly stretched his legs and started to accelerate.
Derek Atkins on the other side also burst out with muscle strength and started extremely fast.
Between the two of Suzu standing, in the semifinals of this group, his main opponents are only Powell and Atkins. At this moment, his starting speed is also raised to the extreme.
The body and the track tend to be in a vertical direction, such a starting run can save more energy, and the explosive running method like Tyson Gay, at the moment of starting, the body It is a way of showing a slight pendulum clock. The starting of the left and right feet is not a straight forward run to accelerate, but an obvious acceleration action to the left and right to increase the impact of the body.
.
The soles of the feet are in full contact with the ground, and every step is taken vigorously. In an instant, the three players in the middle four, five or six times become the focus of everyone.
Su Zu has changed his rhythm and stride this year. The most troublesome thing for him is the acceleration of a few steps before starting, and he often cannot control a perfect rhythm and stride.
And after the Paris Gold League last month, he has become more and more comfortable with this kind of running.
Let’s step together, as fast as a rabbit. As soon as the first 20 meters passed, among the three people who were neck and neck, Su Zu ran out of a half position advantage.
Asafa Powell, who was behind Su Zu, clenched his teeth tightly, spread his fingers, and swung his arms quickly, seemingly unaffected by Su Zu’s running.
Powell loses a lot of games, often not losing to his opponent, but if he has been leading all of a sudden he is overtaken, he will panic, and the psychological pressure will increase sharply, which will affect his running When the coordination of the body, missed the chance of the championship gold medal.
And this time, Powell showed a completely different state.
Even…even if at the moment he’s behind…
His expression was still calm, and he didn’t look around at all, his eyes were firm, and he didn’t hesitate!
“Asafa Powell, you should treat every run on the track as if you were running in a tunnel. Whether you’re leading or trailing, completely forget what’s going on on the other tracks, Concentrate on running. Only in this way can you fully utilize the talents of your body. The 100-meter race is more about yourself and yourself than your opponent.”
The words are still in my ears, Powell has forgotten all the players around him at this time, he is accelerating!
