Run Out of My Life - Chapter 357
“…The men’s 200-meter world record was set by American sprinter Michael Johnson at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics with 19.32 seconds. The World Championships men’s 200-meter record was set by Su Zu at the 2005 World Championships The original record of 19.75 set by Michael Johnson was also 19.79 set by Michael Johnson in Gothenburg, Sweden in 1995. Whether Suzu can break the men’s 200m world record set by Michael Johnson at this World Championships has also become the biggest suspense of the competition. .
After Su Zu broke the men’s 100m world record, a reporter contacted Michael Johnson and asked him his opinion on whether his world record could be broken.
Michael Johnson once jokingly said that even if Suzu broke the 200m world record he held, he still has a 400m world record.
In addition, in the second group of the semifinals, Suzu and Tyson Gay were divided into a group, and they will meet in advance in the semifinals. Su Zu still can’t be careless in the face of Tyson Gay’s challenge. Gay has prepared very carefully for this World Championships, and is a very domineering athlete and an athlete with outstanding psychological quality.
To a certain extent, Gay also inherited the essence of the previous American athletes, which I have also mentioned before, that is, ‘to give up to me’, from the bottom of my heart I think that I am No. 1 in the world, or you can beat me, but you can’t scare me so much that I don’t dare to play. This is the tradition of American athletes.
During the development of the sprint career in the past ten years, the American sprint career has also experienced wave-like ups and downs in talent, but his spirit has permeated.
For example, from Lewis to Green, then to Gatlin and then to Gay now; they grew up in a high-level and fierce local competition, or a cruel atmosphere. Their psychological innate advantages or self-confidence are slowly cultivated since childhood.
This kind of self-confidence can also be said to be self, very very self, even arrogant, but often in the most critical and important occasions, this factor becomes a kind of domineering, a kind of oppression domineering.
In this kind of competition of the highest level and the top level, the players will have an aura when they stand on the stage. This is an invisible thing. You can oppress the opponent or be oppressed by the opponent. These are all they can feel for themselves, and Guy is very good in inheriting the tradition of American athletes…
In the 200-meter event, in addition to Tyson Gay, the young Jamaican player Usain Bolt is also a very powerful player. He broke the Jamaican national men’s 200m record this year.
Today is the men’s 200m semi-final, and tomorrow is the men’s 200m final. Judging from the current promotion form, both American and Jamaican players have an absolute advantage.
Su Zu is likely to encounter two or even more than two American and Jamaican players in the finals…”
At 22:15 local time on the evening of August 29th, and 21:15 Beijing time, the CCTV Channel 5 began to broadcast the men’s 200-meter semifinal match live. Because the World Championships did not broadcast the preliminaries and semi-finals, the on-site commentator Yang Jian quickly analyzed the approximate form of the men’s 200 meters.
At this time, the live broadcast camera has been aimed at the eight players who appeared on the track, the second is Patrick Johnson of Australia, the third is Curran of the Netherlands Antilles Ti Martina, Rodney Martin of the United States in the fourth, Brian Zingai of Zimbabwe in the fifth, Usain Bolt of Jamaica in the sixth, Wallace Speer in the seventh Mon, Francis Obikviru of the Eighth Channel, and Marcin Jedrusinski of Poland of the Ninth Channel.
The focus of attention is mainly Usain Bolt, who ran the third best result of the men’s 200m season this year, as well as Wallace Spearmont and veteran Olympic Bikvir is also expected.
As the time approached, the on-site starter issued the passwords for the players to take their places.
After a gunshot, the first group of the men’s 200m semi-finals officially started.
The eight players in the first shot set off smoothly, and there was no situation where anyone rushed to run.
Bolt is in the sixth lane. Although the reaction time is the slowest, he accelerates quickly after starting, and has established an advantage before entering the corner.
After several years of training by Glenn Mills, Usain Bolt at this time showed a rapidly soaring performance in terms of competition experience, psychological level, and physical muscle strength. Level.
Especially after entering 2007, aside from the psychological burden of running 400 meters concurrently, his progress in short-distance running is amazing.
In this group of games, Bolt’s left shoelace even loosened during running, but this still did not affect his performance. Rice unloaded, but in the end still won the group first with a score of 20.03 seconds.
Wallace Spearmont relied on the sprint to catch up and overtake to win the second place in the group under the general unfavorable start. Another American player Martin and Netherlands Antilles player Ma Tina, who placed third and fourth in the group, also got tickets to the final, and the latter’s score of 20.20 also set a new national record.
“Jamaica is really talented in track and field! This Bolt remembers the 200m record holder at the 2004 World Youth Championship?”
Feng Shuyong sighed softly as he looked at the tall black youth who easily won the first place in the semi-final group.
As the leader of the track and field team, there are many things that need to be balanced. But as long as there is a Suzu game, he will basically put other things aside first, and come here to see the game.
The first gold medal of this world championship is Su Zu’s men’s 100m hurdles, and there are two more promising men’s 200m and men’s 110m hurdles.
Compared to the last session, there is little hope of breaking through the total number of gold medals, but at present, the growth of young athletes in some events is not bad.
“Not exactly.” Feng Shuyong glanced at the deputy director from the General Administration, and then said, “Director Luo has been to Jamaica for exchange and study before, the local environmental conditions In fact, it is very general, but the atmosphere of track and field is very good. It can be said that the young generation sees track and field as a way to change the destiny of their lives, especially in the sprint event, more and more good players have emerged from Jamaica in recent years.”
“Oh, is it?” The gentle man gently pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, “Is it a bit like South American football?”
“Policy support, vigorous popularization and promotion, this is the top priority for talent selection.” Feng Shuyong nodded, “Now our track and field projects are supported by Su Zu and Liu Yangyu, but If the two of them retire…you also know that the careers of sprinters and sprinters are short, and you still need to pay attention to the cultivation of future talents…”
“Guide Feng’s words are what they meant. In recent years, I have also seen the domestic track and field boom and selected a lot of talents. That’s how it should be.”
The gentle man nodded, looked at the first group of players in the arena, and then said, “The second group is Su Zu going to play, right?”
“Well, Suzu and Tyson Gay are both in this group, but this is a semifinal after all, both of them should be for the purpose of appearing, and there will be reservations.” Here, There was a smile on Feng Shuyong’s mouth, “You don’t know, Su Zu was a stunned young man at the beginning. Basically, he worked hard from the preliminaries and semi-finals. He has matured over the past few years, and he will start to pay attention to preserving his physical strength. already.”
While they were talking, the second group of men’s 200m semi-finalists had already appeared on the starting line.
When Su Zu and Tyson Gay stood in the fifth and sixth lanes respectively, the audience cheered, and the loud whistles were almost one after another, running through the audience.
After defending the men’s 100m championship, Su Zu’s biggest challenger is Tyson Gay, who is in the best condition this year. It will be one of the themes of the entire World Championships.
The men’s 100 meters from the first day, the current men’s 200 meters, and the men’s 4 x 100 meters relay race on the penultimate day. It can be said that the competition of top sprinters such as Su Zu, Guy, and Powell has become the most eye-catching sign of this World Championships.
Standing in front of the starting line, Su Zu gently shrugged his shoulders and breathed, adjusting his state.
Compared with the Athens Olympic Games and the Helsinki World Championships, his physical fitness and competition experience, or his state and confidence in the face of various players in the past few years have been incomparable.
Victory after victory, record after record, has built up enough confidence to face any opponent.
And with the accumulation of game experience, his physical fitness can be more reasonably distributed when dealing with games.
Second-rate.
Among the eight runners in the second group of the men’s 200m semi-final, the second is Jamaica’s Marvin Anderson, and the third is Antigua and Barbuda’s Danlon Chris Ting, the fourth is Paul Hansen of Ireland, the fifth is Suzu, the sixth is Tyson Gay, the seventh is Anastasios Gauss of Greece, the eighth is Road is Christopher Bayerns of Belgium, and the ninth is Christopher Williams.
After the gunshots rang out, Jamaica’s Anderson performed well in the acceleration stage of the first shot. His starting reaction speed was the slowest among the eight competitors, but he performed extremely well in the acceleration stage. Not bad, the acceleration of the first 30 meters of corners has an advantage.
But in the running stage, Su Zu quickly caught up with the absolute strength gap. Tyson Guy, on the other hand, established a second-place lead after Suzu in the corner and into the straight.
In the last 50 meters, Su Zu and Tyson Gay both had obvious water release, but both of them ran into the 20 seconds mark and advanced to the final as the first and second in the group .
The two Jamaican players Marvin Anderson and Christopher Williams ranked third and fourth respectively. The top eight finalists in the men’s 200m were officially released.
And the result of such a game, as most people expected before the game, the men’s 200-meter final formed Suzu and Curanti Martina of the Netherlands Antilles, who will meet A siege situation against three Americans and three Jamaicans.
