Run Out of My Life - Chapter 350

    “Usain, this way!”

    At 8:50 p.m. local time in Osaka, two young black men in short-sleeved T-shirts squeezed through the crowd. Stand out from the crowd.

    “Oh, there are so many people today that I almost couldn’t squeeze in.”

    The tall black man sighed lightly and wiped the sweat on his forehead slightly. The hot weather and the large number of spectators made the entire Nagai Stadium look like a big steamer.

    “I told you earlier, we should come to the scene earlier, or we will miss the most important game of the World Championships.” Dwight Thomas shook his head and said.

    He is tall and strong. He is a men’s 100m, 200m and 110m hurdles concurrent athlete. His personal results are not bad. It is 20 seconds 29.

    But in the talented Jamaican track and field team, his level of athletes is not enough to see, no matter which event he was not selected for the competition list, he could only be a substitute player in the 4×100 meter relay race came to Osaka to participate in the World Championships.

    “Dwight, I don’t agree with you.” The tall black man followed behind him, wearing loose white short-sleeves, waving his hands repeatedly, “The most important game of this World Championship, will It will be the men’s 200 meters.”

    The tall black man said and pointed to himself, “The men’s 200-meter champion will be in the competition between me, Suzu, and Tyson Gay.”

    “Well, Usain, I also want to see how you won the 200m.”

    Dwight smiled, he is a veteran of the Jamaican track and field team, and he knows this tall black athlete ten centimeters taller than him.

    The opponent’s talent is amazing, and he has an extraordinary performance in the World Youth Championship. In the 200-meter event, he is currently the top group, and he broke the national men’s 200-meter record in Jamaica not long ago.

    However, this playful personality made him shake his head slightly.

    The two were planning to come to Nagai Stadium early to watch the men’s 100-meter semifinals and finals, but when they passed through a street in Kabukicho, the tall black youth behind him felt a little lingering all the way. . Fortunately, it is only the men’s 100-meter semi-final, and the official final has not yet begun.

    “Don’t worry about Dwight, it doesn’t matter if you watch the semifinals or not, the result is basically no need to ask, it must be a duel between Suzu, Asafa and Tyson Guy, I can’t think of it Who can keep them out of the final.”

    The tall black youth reached out and touched Dwight Thomas’ head. The two of them walked through the crowded auditorium and finally found a place to sit down.

    At this time, the men’s 400-meter hurdles semi-finals are in progress. Black youths with high difficulty in the 400-meter hurdles have always had lingering fears. Not to mention the 400-meter hurdles, in addition to speed and endurance, There is also a very perfect hurdling skill, which is a headache to think about.

    Jamaica also has three contestants in this event, Danny McFarlane, Issa Phillips, and Markino Barkley. Among them, Danny McFarlane is very familiar to both Dwight Thomas and Usain Bolt, and is also the strongest of the three Jamaican 400-meter hurdlers.

    And in the entire Jamaican track and field team, Danny McFarlane is very respected, although the other party does not have too much honor and championship halo, but the man was born in 1972 and is 36 years old this year The performance of the veteran in the track and field is still amazing.

    “Danny, Danny, great job! Danny might have a chance at a medal!”

    The semi-finals of the third group of the 400-meter hurdles ended. Danny McFarlane won the first place in the group with a time of 48.32 seconds and successfully advanced to the final.

    The two people who just sat down in the auditorium enjoyed such a game, and they were all excited for a while. Especially the tall black youth, he won the applause of others on the track and field, and also gave others applause off the track and field.

    The 400-meter hurdles only has preliminaries, semi-finals and finals. 38 preliminaries compete for 24 to enter the semi-finals. Finally, the best 8 people in the semi-finals are selected to enter the final finals.

    “Usain, you really have a big heart.”

    Waiting for the 400-meter hurdles runners to take a stand, the staff at the scene began to clean up the track. Dwight Thomas looked at his companions and sighed.

    “Dwight, what do you mean, I don’t understand.” The black young man twisted his body slightly, obviously Danny McFarlane’s victory just made him in a very good mood .

    “Usain, are you not worried at all?” Dwight Thomas asked the question he wanted to ask the most, “You will start the 200-meter race the day after tomorrow, this year You’re also in the 4x100m relay lineup and you don’t look nervous at all. Coach Glenn Mills wants you to break Michael Johnson’s 200m record in Gothenburg, Sweden.”

    In the eyes of Dwight Thomas, the attitude of the black youth in front of him to prepare for the game is the opposite of other athletes he knows. At this time, the other two Jamaican 200-meter runners, Marvin Anderson and Christopher Williams, either stopped doing the final adaptive training before the game, or were resting to adjust their state.

    Only the one in front of me doesn’t show any nervousness at all.

    “I didn’t think about any record.” The black youth turned back and said solemnly, “Or I deliberately didn’t think about it. Really, Dwight, whether it’s running 200 meters or running recently In the 100 meters, I have never thought about the record. Because I have to challenge the best results first, athletes must relax completely and fully develop their potential. Before the competition, I always think about records and gold medals, only for myself It only increases the pressure. If there is pressure, there will be no state, and if there is no state, you will not be able to run well.”

    “I don’t know if it’s the case with other people, but I’m sure. You see Asafa, when he first broke the world record in 2005, he certainly didn’t plan ahead. He just stood He was on the track and won the race with all his might. Then he became very nervous before every competition. In order to win the gold medal, he forced himself to replicate the previous achievements: breaking the world record and winning the championship. He created pressure for himself , so since then, he can no longer relax and enjoy the game. This time he went out for shopping and drinking before the game, I think this is a good phenomenon, I believe he will not be too nervous. Maybe we can see Asafa regain the world record.”

    “You know what I’m thinking now, Dwight, I want a fight, I want to beat Suzu, beat Tyson Gay, beat everyone, but it doesn’t matter what the results are It’s on my mind. My idea is to win the race first, then the results. I just want to run, and when I step on the runner, I have only one idea – come on! Usain Bolt, Never fear a challenge!”

    Dwight Thomas felt a little strange for a while when he heard the words of his companion.

    That was after the other side won the Jamaica National Championships 200m and broke the record, and that was after hearing that the other side started running the 100m.

    There is a very strange temperament between his words and deeds. He seems to want to challenge the competition and the players.

    While the two of them were talking, a loud cheer suddenly erupted in Nagai Stadium.

    The men’s 100-meter finalists appeared on the field under the guidance of a girl holding a placard.
