Run Out of My Life - Chapter 359
“…can you guess what that girl said?”
In the men’s 200m indoor inspection area, the players who are about to start the final have warmed up and are gathering to prepare to line up.
Among the crowd, a tall black youth who was significantly more than half a head taller than the other athletes was dancing and imitating the tone of one of its female voices.
” She said, Usain, your speed is very fast, but how can you hold on for 20 seconds, and this friend you brought, Michael Flat, he is only 10 Seconds… God, next time you bring Powell over, oh oh, isn’t it over at the beginning…”
Usain Bolt is joking with a bunch of players.
All sprinters present, almost all of them burst out laughing when they heard Usain Bolt’s joke.
Especially Wallace Spearmont, he had a good personal relationship with Bolt, and for a moment he leaned back and forth, almost squatting on the ground with his stomach covered with laughter.
The hilarious laughter of several people even attracted an IAAF staff member to glance at the middle of their team several times.
“Usain, are you trying to kill us all with a joke before the game?” Spearmont exclaimed with a laugh.
Su Zu also pursed his lips and showed a smile, although later generations knew that this Jamaican Lightning was the little prince of nightclubs, and all kinds of jokes about girls came easily, but really only after contact I found out that this is not the Devil of Jamaica, this is the King of Jamaica.
And this is also the easiest scene before the competition since Su Zu has experienced these years.
The vast majority of athletes are facing the world championship finals, which is not nervous and constantly adjusting their physical and psychological states.
Only this Jamaican Lightning who is about to set foot on the peak, born with a big heart, can tell jokes with ease in the tense atmosphere before such a competition, that super psychological The quality and the relaxed state of not caring about the game at all, to be honest, it is very rare for athletes.
The later generation Su Zu once watched the short film before Bolt participated in the Olympic 100m final. Ever since the camera was aimed at him, he has been making funny faces and joking with other athletes.
The most classic scene is when coach Glenn Mills just came over to pat him on the shoulder, he suddenly screamed exaggeratedly and fell to the ground, his face twisted to the point of hideousness.
The camera on the scene perfectly recorded this scene, because it was a live broadcast, almost instantly everyone saw the scene of a coach knocking down his carefully cultivated athletes.
Glen Mills was even more frightened. At the same time, he received several text messages on his mobile phone, questioning what Glen Mills was doing just now.
And Bolt, who succeeded in mischief, laughed unbridled aside.
The athletes who were preparing for the final were indeed amused by Bolt’s jokes, only Tyson Gay remained silent, his face was calm and dignified, and he was not at all laughed by Bolt’s jokes attracted.
The eyes glanced at Su Zu and Bolt intentionally or unintentionally, with undisguised competition and hostility in their eyes.
far more than each other.
Only with competition, in places like track and field, athletes are not scheming politicians, and they will always reveal their truest thoughts unconsciously.
Su Zu is no stranger to Guy’s performance, even if it is him, now facing Usain Bolt who just finished the joke and grinned, his impression is also very complex.
The time is approaching little by little, and finally the time is up. The staff in the inspection area appeared and guided everyone to the stage.
…
“…Dear friends, the much-anticipated men’s 200-meter final is about to begin. In this final, Chinese athlete Su Zu will face the world’s strongest sprinter in this game. Three players from each of the two countries, the United States and Jamaica.
In the men’s sprint event, we still have a huge gap with the world’s top sprint level. The appearance of Su Zu is to break the **** of traditional black athletes in Europe and the United States in these events. But we should not be careless, at the current stage our reserve talent echelon is still relatively weak…”
At 22:20 local time in Osaka and 21:20 Beijing time, the CCTV Channel 5 started the live broadcast of the men’s 200m World Championships.
Yang Jian looked at the eight players who had appeared in front of the starting line in the corner, followed the live camera and began to introduce the details of the players one by one.
“…Ok, eight finalists have appeared on the track, and the eight contestants’ lane arrangement is from the second to the ninth lane.
The second course is Curanti Martina from the Netherlands Antilles. Curanti Martina performed well in the 2007 season, in the men’s 100m and 200m events All made it to the finals, and also created a personal best.
The third Jamaican player Marvin Anderson, his performance in the 100m and 200m is quite good, and he is also a member of the Jamaican men’s 4×100m relay team at the World Championships one.
The fourth American star Tyson Gay, the runner-up in the men’s 100m at the World Championships, Suzu’s strongest competitor, we are looking forward to his showdown with Suzu , both sides were able to run new personal bests.
Road 5, Su Zu, Su Zu has rarely been interviewed by the media since the beginning of the World Championships. 2007 was a very important hurdle for him. His grades have declined, and now he has once again ranked first in the world. The pressure he is under is definitely not small. Whether he can defend the men’s 200m championship is also the focus of everyone’s attention. If the title defense is successful, Su Zu will create a new record. He won the men’s 1200m gold medal for two consecutive World Championships, an honor that neither Carl Lewis nor Maurice Green had ever achieved before.
Usain Bolt of Jamaica in the sixth lane, his height has reached an astonishing 1.95, and his stride is astonishing. This year’s best time in the 200 meters is 19.75 seconds. Set a national record in Jamaica and is the most promising of the eight players to challenge Suzu and Tyson Gay.
The seventh American player Wallace Spearmont is also one of Su Zu’s old rivals. He finished fourth in the men’s 200 meters at the 2005 World Championships. His personal best was last year’s Daegu International, South Korea. The 19.65 thrown by the Athletics Federation Star Invitational Tournament is also an excellent player with the ability to win the championship.
Rodney Martin, an American player in the eighth course, is also a player who can break 10 seconds in 100 meters and 20 seconds in 200 meters.
The ninth course is Christopher Williams, a Jamaican veteran born in 1972, and one of the oldest athletes at this World Championships…”
In the audience.
Several young athletes of the Chinese relay team applauded when Su Zu appeared on the track.
The more extroverted Wen Yongyi and Chen Yuhang even made trumpets with their hands and shouted “Su Zu, come on!” and the like.
“Three Americans, three Jamaicans, Suzu’s final is not so good!”
Zhang Peimeng frowned. He was considered the tallest sprinter in China. At first, he ran 200 meters. My heart trembled slightly.
Except for Su Zu, the current best 200-meter runners in China are only running at around 20.50 seconds, and they still have to perform well. The players present, almost the vast majority of the results are within 20 seconds.
In a short-distance project such as 200 meters, the gap of 0.5 seconds or even close to 1 second is almost a desperate figure.
Only a player like Su Zu can truly face the challenges of many strong players present.
“I think Su Zu will definitely win!”
Su Bingtian’s eyes stayed in front of the starting line of the 200-meter curve, his eyes were shining brightly, and the pride and the desire to catch up were constantly stirring in his heart.
When will I be able to stand on such a field!
When will I be able to ride on the track with the world’s top players!
Not too long, not too long!
On the field.
Su Zu raised his head and looked around the entire Yongjing Stadium, cheers and various indistinguishable noises drilled into his ears.
Before each game, he would look around subconsciously. This is the arena. He was in the sight of tens of thousands of people, surrounded by cameras and spotlights on the sidelines.
This is his field, his stage!
Standing on this stage again and again, his performance has been tense from the very beginning to the point where his muscles are stiff, and now he can gradually become more relaxed.
But deep down, the excitement before the competition never disappeared.
As long as you stand on the field, want to win, want to win the championship, then you can never be calm.
What’s more, in this 200-meter race, in the eyes of outsiders, Su Zu is the number one seed.
But Su Zu never dared to be careless in his heart. Others may not understand it yet, but Su Zu himself knows it.
The two fastest runners in the world field altar in future generations are standing beside him at this moment.
And they’re playing right away!
Su Zu glanced at the tall black young man standing in the sixth lane on his right. The relaxed look in the inspection area was completely gone, replaced by a focused look.
This is the second time Suzu has played against Bolt in the most important race since the 2005 New York Grand Prix.
Behind Su Zu, Su Zu could almost know without looking at how solemn Tyson Guy’s expression would be at the moment.
From the men’s 100m final, Tyson Gay has been waiting for this match, the men’s 200m final, his revenge battle.
The biggest feature of this lion-like player is that he will not admit defeat. Just like Justin Gatlin, they will only get stronger and stronger in the face of strong opponents.
You can beat me, but you can’t bring me down!
Faced with the pressure of the outside world or the opponent, some athletes are always able to get more and more courageous, and constantly create better results.
Later Shi Bolt admitted that facing huge pressure will make people feel at a loss, like Asafa Powell, because he can’t fight pressure.
From a certain point of view, Asafa Powell’s clumsy performance under pressure comes from his training system that is different from most other athletes, except for a few championship runs. He directly joined the track and field world as a professional player, and the pressure of various competitions that followed caught him off guard and lacked the most important grinding stage.
And in this game, Suzu, Tyson Gay, Bolt, Spearmont, they all fought all the way from the bottom one after another in the small level competition , The performance in the face of the competition may be different, but it will never be unbalanced.
On the contrary, because of the emergence of strong players, the desire for competition will be heightened.
…
“Onyourmarks!”
Before the starting line, the starter began to call out the password for all the runners to take their place.
The tens of thousands of spectators in the noisy Nagai Stadium instantly fell silent after hearing it through the live broadcast.
Before the starting line, the scene of the scene started from Spearmont in the seventh lane and gradually extended to the sixth lane of Bolt, the fifth lane of Suzu, and the fourth lane of Tyson Guy I…
The contest is about to start.
At the same time, many domestic viewers watching the live broadcast of this game are also staring at the TV screen with all their attention, as if they have been in a state of immobilization, for fear of missing any trace detail.
Pop!
A crisp starting gun sounded.
Yang Jian’s voice on the TV screen also came out at this time: “The game starts!”
At this moment, all the athletes started to accelerate, but only ran two or three steps. The audience in front of the TV suddenly noticed that the athletes were all trotting, slowing down and stopping.
There was a loud booing.
“Someone ran away!” Yang Jian’s voice was a bit high-pitched, “It is difficult for us to see with the naked eye who made a subtle running action on the starting block after the gunshot. 200 meters The start is not a life-and-death technical link like the 100 meters, but it is also very important. However, in general competitions, few people go to the start, and this link can also be seen that the competition is very fierce. The players of such a major competition It’s impossible not to be nervous. Even a veteran with a lot of experience can get nervous in a situation like this.”
“The game starts again!”
Before the starting line, the runners who had run 10 to 20 meters away walked back to the starting line.
With a short distance of more than ten meters, the players are also taking advantage of this time to adjust their state.
Sprinters, every time they start their preparations, they put a great deal of concentration into their preparations. Generally, after a rush run, it will have some impact on most athletes.
The runner who just took the lead has also come out. It is Marvin Anderson of Jamaica. His reaction time at the start is 0.097 seconds, and he was almost shot.
Returning to the starting line again, Su Zu shrugged slightly, raised his legs, gently pulled his muscles and ligaments, and leaned over to squat down.
Usain Bolt, who was already leaning over the runway with his feet on the running aid, also made ten strokes with one hand on the top of his head and chest before running.
Su Zu raised his head habitually at this time. He couldn’t see the starting line for the 200-meter curve, but he still habitually glanced ahead, as if he wanted to put all the competition The lines are engraved in the mind.
Bent down, head down.
The judges on both sides of the track made a round of all the players’ bodies and had kept their bodies still, and a prepared voice sounded:
“SET!”
Eight runners on the front and rear corners got up at the same time.
Pop!
Before the starting line, the electronic starting gun sounded again.
Almost as soon as the gunshots sounded, Su Zu’s body moved, and his feet slammed on the running aids, starting his body’s acceleration from stationary to the highest speed.
At this moment, the eight runners had mixed reactions at the start.
Although the audience at the scene could not see the starting reaction time of the runners on the big screen at this time, but on the starting reaction timing boards on both sides of the track, eight runners have faithfully appeared start reaction time.
Unsurprisingly, Tyson Gay and Suzu have the fastest starting reaction times, both of whom have a starting reaction time of 0.143 seconds, while Spearmont and Kuranti Martina followed with a reaction time of 0.144 seconds. In third place is Jamaican veteran Christopher Williams.
Usain Bolt’s starting reaction time is 0.159 seconds. Because of his height and body shape and targeted starting training, his starting reaction time has always been relatively backward.
The last two starting reaction times are Jamaica’s Marvin Anderson and the United States’ Rodney Martin, 0.171 seconds and 0.186 seconds respectively.
Marvin Anderson reacted a little slow in the second start because of the first shot, and Rodney Martin was the first time to set foot on the stage of the World Championship final, There was some nervousness and hesitation at the start of the run.
Twenty meters, thirty meters, forty meters…
In the 100-meter event, Tyson Gay has a weak starting reaction speed compared with Su Zu and Powell, and the acceleration in the first half is also weaker than Su Zu and Powell.
However, in the 200-meter event, his acceleration in the first half and the short-range acceleration are more than most competitors.
However, at this moment, Suzu has more prominent characteristics than Tyson Gay in the short-range acceleration. In the starting method and starting width, he can catch up with Powell’s The perfect start.
Although it is a curve, I can’t see the difference in the specific positions of the two, but if there is a slow motion of the game, it can be seen that Su Zu has seized a certain advantage at this moment.
However, in the acceleration stage of the corner, Su Zu’s lead did not continue to expand, whether it was Tyson Gay behind Su Zu, who followed closely with his super stride frequency, Usain Bolt, who was in the sixth lane on the right of Suzu, raised his speed with an amazing stride, and even Spearmont in the seventh lane, their cornering skills and experience in the 200-meter project, At this moment, to a certain extent, they made up for their lack of speed.
Fifty meters, sixty meters, seventy meters…
In the 100-meter event, most of the runners have entered the highest speed stage of running on the way at this stage, while in the 200-meter event, many runners will deliberately keep longer after the start. The acceleration distance is to delay the arrival of the highest point of the maximum speed, so that in the second half of the entire 200-meter project, you can have a faster speed and plenty of physical fitness.
In the past, Su Zu also used this kind of running method for a long time. By deliberately increasing his stride, he lengthened his acceleration distance to push back the highest point of speed.
But after this year’s Osaka Grand Prix, Suzu has completely changed the way of running. After two consecutive years of sub-altitude training, his speed endurance has been greatly improved, and his speed retention ability in the middle and second half can allow him to sprint in the 200-meter project like the 100-meter.
At the high-speed stage of 50 to 70 meters, everyone on the field suddenly cheered.
Even in the corner, many viewers can see that Su Zu is starting to stand out gradually and is accelerating rapidly.
At this moment, not only the audience at the scene could see that Tyson Gay and Bolt, who were sprinting at full speed on the field, had a very clear feeling.
“No, I must win! I must surpass Suzu!”
Tyson Guy, who was in the fourth lane behind Suzu, entered the absolute maximum speed stage in Suzu, and already felt that the distance between the two was widening, although due to the corners, the naked eye It’s not obvious, but as a top professional athlete, you can often feel it from the rhythm of running.
And Usain Bolt in front suddenly felt a huge threat at this moment. At this time, the Jamaican Lightning has not yet entered the peak state, but now he is better than the 2005 New York Grand Prix It is no longer the same as Japanese.
At the 80-meter stage, he felt that the opponent was rapidly approaching him, and Bolt’s heart was suddenly filled with the idea of not admitting defeat.
An athlete like him jokes, makes jokes, and relaxes his mental state before the game, but once he gets to the game, his concentration level will instantly reach the highest level.
Especially when this game is very important to him, it can stimulate him greatly.
As a young and famous Jamaican athlete, he once had an amazing performance in the World Junior Championships and the World Youth Championships, and was once the most optimistic about the Jamaican track and field world.
However, his performance in the 2004 Athens Olympic Games made him receive criticism for a long time, so that he became very disappointed.
It was also from that time that he really began to recognize the game and himself. Run for yourself first, then for the motherland.
Enjoy every championship, every battle with a strong player, every small improvement.
Su Zu is the opponent he must surpass and defeat.
At the New York Grand Prix in 2005, Suzu played head-to-head with Usain Bolt for the first time, holding an almost pilgrimage mood, exhausting all his Strength, ran out of the best personal time of 19 seconds 79.
For Usain Bolt at the time, he would never forget his failure.
In that race, he ran 20.33 seconds, a gap of more than 0.5 seconds, and was led by a Chinese player who was a few months younger than him by a large margin.
This has always been in his heart.
He didn’t have Tyson Gay’s pre-match performance to Suzu like carnivores fighting for territory, but in his heart, he also wanted to win it back.
Stand on the track, we all want to win, don’t we?
The fast stride frequency and wide stride made his speed increase rapidly, and the slight inclination of his body to the left and right drove the cross necklace on his chest to sway from side to side.
90m, 100m…the curve goes straight…
The audience is boiling!
At this time, all the audience in the auditorium had already stood up.
At this stage of the curve and the straight, even people who are not familiar with the 200-meter run can judge who is ahead and who is behind by the position of the runners.
In the middle of the fourth, fifth and sixth rounds, three red, white and yellow figures led the game.
Even Usain Bolt in the sixth lane, at this time, surpassed Wallace Spearmont on his right, and Tyson Guy in the fourth lane on the left Yi, also with his super stride frequency and acceleration ability, was ahead of Marvin Anderson in the third lane.
The moment they entered the straight, Tyson Gay and Bolt were almost neck and neck on a horizontal line, and in the fifth lane between the fourth and sixth lanes, Su Zu was Still ahead of the two by more than two positions.
And that distance is growing.
130m, 140m, 150m…
Three-quarters of the 200-meter course has been run, and on the field, Su Zu is still in the first place.
At this stage, the general speed of the eight 200-meter runners has been declining rapidly, and they are completely relying on their own speed endurance to maintain the speed.
Tyson Gay’s speed endurance has always been quite good, and in comparison, Usain Bolt has long legs and speed endurance is slightly better.
Only at this time, Bolt was still a little weaker in absolute speed. After entering the straight, Guy took the opportunity to overtake a position.
But the three of them were still far ahead of the others.
The last fifty meters.
Tyson Gay’s teeth were about to be crushed, and he was desperately pulsing his legs that were beginning to be a little heavy, chasing after Su Zu.
For sprinters, as long as they don’t reach the finish line, they have a chance to surpass.
And Usain Bolt’s stride has also slowed down. Now Bolt’s performance in the first half of the game has been perfect, but in this game, to this At this point, he has realized that it may be difficult to surpass it.
His speed was still maintained, but a moment of hesitation made his speed slightly weaker.
…
After the sub-altitude training, Su Zu’s state and ability were not outstanding in the 100-meter event, but in the 200-meter event, it was already a great leap.
The contest begins! Su Zu started very fast, Su Zu and Tyson Guy were stalemate, Su Zu entered the highest speed stage, Su Zu took the lead! Su Zu ran first at 90 meters…”
At this time, Yang Jian, the live commentator of CCTV Channel 5, has maintained a state of passion since the beginning of the game, especially after starting the first position of Suzu track at 90 meters, Yang Jian The sound of the sound suddenly increased by several decibels!
“…Curving into the straight, Suzu, Suzu is maintaining his fastest speed. Behind him are Tyson Gay and Bolt, the gap between the two is very small… Su Zu, Su Zu! Cross the line!
Win!
Su Zu wins!
19 seconds 37!
Champion! Men’s 200m champion! New tournament record!
Su Zu won the second gold medal in this World Championships, which is also China’s second gold medal. At the same time, Su Zu also defended his world championship in the men’s 200m event. Su Zu made history in the track and field world today, he is the first athlete to win two consecutive world championships in the 100m and 200m…”
