Run Out of My Life - Chapter 348
On the 100-meter runway, the speed of the eight runners was vividly displayed.
Whether it was in front of the TV or the audience at the scene, they could not take their eyes off the amazing speed displayed by the eight semi-finalists of this group.
After the 30-meter acceleration stage, Su Zu jumped to the first position with a clear advantage. The perfect combination of strong and powerful stride and amazingly fast pace made Su Zu There is an advantage in the ten meters after the start, and this advantage is completely highlighted after the acceleration stage of thirty meters.
Fast start response, rapid start acceleration, each step combines its own stride length and cadence to the extreme. In the first step and the second step, Su Zu may not be able to see any advantages.
The large stride at the beginning requires the sole of the foot and the ground to increase the landing area to some extent, and the large contact area of the sole of the foot and the ground prolongs the contact time of the sole of the foot and the ground.
The first one or two steps may be behind a player who started equally well, but from the third step, they will soon be able to gain an advantage.
In addition, the body moves forward in a straight line, without too much swaying to consume physical energy and time, and every step of the legs will obtain sufficient acceleration force.
As the speed increases, the area of the sole of the foot and the ground also gradually becomes smaller, and at the peak of the final speed, the cadence will become faster and faster.
Only 30 meters away, Su Zu has fully demonstrated his running style after adjusting his technique for half a year.
Derek Atkins, who was biting Suzu firmly, felt unprecedented pressure just from this start.
The new Bahamian sprinter was at the peak of his body and form in 2007, and it can be said that this year, apart from not taking on Tyson Gay head-on.
Having won Su Zu and Powell in several grand prixs, this has a profound impact on the confidence of new young players.
There is no possibility of reservation.
At this time, facing Su Zu, he really saw what kind of terrifying strength the current world record holder of the men’s 100 meters has, this oriental player from Asia who has been rumored by the world.
“You have to win, you have to win!”
Derek Atkins only had this idea left in his mind at this time. He was the fourth best in the men’s 100 meters in 2007, and he still has the energy of many newcomers who are completely unyielding.
If you want to gain a foothold in the world sports arena, you can only win those top players with honors. In the sixth way, the corner of his eyes is almost fixed on Su Zu, who is a lot ahead of him. .
Forty meters, fifty meters…
Derrick Atkins felt that his speed had reached the limit and entered the highest speed stage of running on the way. At this time, he found that not only did he not keep up with Su Zu, but two The distance between people is further widening.
From a gap of half a body position, it slowly turned into a body position, two positions, the distance is widening.
On the scene, at this stage, the positions of the eight contestants can already be clearly seen with the naked eye. Su Zu is leading the way, and his speed is getting faster and faster.
Sufficient acceleration at the start made Su Zu’s absolute speed far faster than other competitors on the way to enter. The ten-meter distance of 40 meters to 50 meters has already reached 0.82 seconds, and this is not the limit!
Derek Atkins gradually became anxious in his heart. Although he was born in 1984, he was a few years older than Su Zu, but compared to his competition experience, he was still a newcomer to the world stage. The rookie has a common problem with most rookie players – it is easy to be taken away from the rhythm, and the feeling of slack and powerlessness when facing a powerful opponent.
At this moment, there was a loud exclamation from the quiet scene after the start.
Sitting in the media area, Yang Jian, who was watching all the players’ every move, shouted in surprise: “…Powell caught up, his speed was amazing, surpassing Derek Atkin Si, he’s chasing Su Zu…”
With a “huh”, Derek Atkins, who was in the sixth lane, seemed to suddenly feel a huge sense of oppression, even though he only glanced at the corner of his eye and did not dare to turn his head , but at fifty meters, it was purely a subconscious intuition, and a figure came after him and caught up with him.
The feeling of being side by side and competing wildly with him on a horizontal line is so clear.
That is, Asafa Powell!
It seems that the psychological pressure is due to other reasons. Asafa Powell’s start acceleration is not as fast and fast as he used to compete with Suzu, but the slightly slower start did not cause him any damage. particularly large impact.
In some previous races, Asafa Powell often appeared that if the start was not perfect, he might simply run and give up the race if he fell behind in the first half of the race.
But this time, not!
As he said before the game, he wants a gold medal more than anyone to prove himself.
At this time, there was no one else in Powell’s eyes. He just looked at the runway in front of him and ran on his own.
The start was slow and he knew very well, because the recovery from the injury and the interference of psychological factors, he could not completely rule it out, he hesitated at the moment when the gunshots sounded.
And once he entered the running state, he remembered what the coach had told him in that Jamaican mountain village.
Take it as yourself running and training alone.
Don’t think about the other runners, just run.
Don’t care how fast the opponent is, whether they are ahead, whether they will catch up, and whether they will become the laughing stock of “contest withering”.
All he needs to do well is himself.
Run at the fastest speed to the finish line at your own pace.
That’s it, this is Asafa Powell who has been reborn after spiritual baptism!
Sixty meters, seventy meters, eighty meters…
Suzu’s lead is expanding, and Asafa Powell has gradually started to lead after a brief stalemate with Derek Atkins.
Slow, but he was still able to catch up with his strong second half strength.
In the eyes of Derek Atkins, he is competing with top players, while in the eyes of Suzu and Powell, they are more competing with themselves.
The finish line is in sight.
Su Zu breathed a sigh of relief, and in the last few steps, he did not continue to maintain the speed of the sprint.
The final two hours later, he did not fight all the way in the semi-final like those previous games.
In the 2004 Olympic Games, he entered such a competition for the first time, and every step surpassed his previous achievements, so he could let go of the fight.
Now, he has enough experience in competitions and has learned to control his physical distribution and competition arrangements to deal with the upcoming finals and the following 200 meters and other competitions.
Since there is no problem in qualifying, he didn’t think about running a world record in the semifinals.
However, Rao was Su Zu’s last few steps, but his lead was large enough, and he still crossed the finish line in the first position.
After Su Zu crossed the finish line, the scene suddenly cheered.
On the yellow chrono board next to the finish line, the electronic numerals of 9 seconds 86 are extremely dazzling.
To be able to run such a result in the semi-finals, Su Zu’s performance has left the audience at the scene and in front of the TV speechless, everyone can see that he is in good shape.
The moment Su Zu crossed the finish line, Asafa Powell, who ran from 60 to 70 meters to second place, also ran across the finish line.
When all the runners crossed the finish line, Powell raised his head and looked at the result on the big screen, 9 seconds 90, his expression was still calm.
This result is nothing compared to his personal best, but this year, it is already one of his better results. And in his eyes, there are some unusual expectations.
Third to cross the finish line, Derek Atkins was 10.04.
Surprisingly, the fourth player to advance was not the 2003 world champion Kim Collins, nor the rare white British player Craig Pickering.
It is the ninth Slovenian veteran Madik Osovnikar, his score is 10.17 seconds, this has participated in the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, the 2003 and 2005 World Championships The veteran, finally entered the World Championship final list for the first time.
“…A wonderful game, Su Zu and Powell successfully advanced to the finals hand in hand, the performance of the two in this semi-final can be seen that they have not done their best or made mistakes, but the final result It’s still eye-catching. The next group of semi-finals will include Tyson Gay, Marlon Devnish, Curanti Martina and other famous players. I don’t know what kind of performance they will have and whether they will be able to compete with Su Zu and Powell join forces in the final to compete for the men’s 100m gold medal at the World Championships…”
In the voice of Yang Jian’s commentary, the players of the first group of the semi-finals left the field and began to adjust and rest against time, while the semi-finalists of the second group appeared on the field.
Two hours later, on the same track, the final ownership of the men’s 100-meter champion of this World Championships will be announced.
