Run Out of My Life - Chapter 363
Guangdong Province, Haizhu City.
In the box of a hotel, a 45-inch large color TV was locked to the fifth channel of the central bank, and the game screen of the Osaka World Championships was playing.
The restaurant’s box is not small, there is a round table in the middle, and a lot of dishes are served, but the two people sitting are not in the mood to eat at the moment.
“Old Shen, why are you running at me? Ordinarily, you want to watch the game, isn’t it more suitable for Osaka?”
Chen Jian glanced at the time in the upper right corner of the TV screen, it was 20:00, and there were 15 minutes left. He looked at the short man who had been staring at the TV screen since the two sat down and said with a smile.
“I really wanted to go to Osaka to see the scene, and I started to book air tickets. Before I left, I suddenly felt that it was not interesting, so I went to Guangdong Province to come and have a drink with you.” Shen Yun Bao returned Gossip, chuckled lightly, and replied.
He then pointed to the TV screen, where row upon row of vigorous female sprinters of different skin tones were making the final preparations before the competition, “The Jamaican women’s relay team is very good, this There is still a chance to overturn the United States.”
“Jamaica has produced a lot of talent in recent years, and it has grown up too fast.”
Following Shen Yunbao’s words, Chen Jian glanced at the TV screen and sighed, “The men’s team is estimated to be a bigger challenge. I think we didn’t have the strength in Jamaica back then.”
Everyone has been running since they were teenagers. After more than ten years, many of their concerns about some things have become subconscious. In particular, both of them retired with the halo of Olympic champions. Although the positions they arranged were different, they were basically inseparable from sports.
“Yeah, speaking of the 2005 World Championships in Helsinki, when I watched the relay race at home and saw the U.S. team out, it was really cool. Now in addition to the U.S. team, there is also Jamaica. Team, I took a look at the lineup before, it’s too strong. Although Su Zu is amazing, the current result is something we didn’t dare to think of at that time, but Tyson Gay and Powell are both at their peak, and there are two of them. When one was there, I leveled Su Zu. The others were great, I also watched them in the preliminaries, and they ran really well, but they weren’t enough!”
“I’m not worried about Su Zu’s fourth round, or the first three rounds.” Chen Jian frowned slightly, and the topic came to the game, and just now he sighed that Shen Yunbao suddenly came to Guangdong Province, which made him a little bit Unexpectedly, at this moment, he was already immersed in his views on the following games. “It’s not much different from our original situation. If the first three clubs can create opportunities, as long as he is not pulled away too much, Su Zu should still be able to recover a lot from the fourth club.”
“That’s true.” Shen Yunbao nodded, “In 2004, Su Zu’s 100 meters was about 9.90 seconds, and now it’s within 9.70 seconds. Su Zu got up step by step, no one would have thought that he would even have a world record today.”
“This kid, it’s like riding a rocket in the past few years. The record has been broken again and again. It is estimated that there is a chance to break the 200-meter world record.”
“In the preliminaries, the first three sticks of the relay team performed well. In terms of performance and tacit understanding, they were stronger than we were at the beginning.”
“This is natural. I know a little about Coach Yuan’s situation. He is under a lot of pressure. This preliminaries did not let Su Zu go, which is also far beyond my expectations.”
While they were talking, the women’s 4x100m relay final on TV had already begun.
As the penultimate day of this Osaka World Championships, the two most important competitions, the men’s and women’s 4×100-meter relay finals, are impeccable in terms of viewing.
The results of the women’s 4×100m were actually beyond the expectations of the two. The top three and two were the US team, Jamaica, and the third was Belgium.
The Jamaican sprint event, both men and women, has grown to a terrifying level in the past few years, from the 100-meter or 200-meter to the relay event, a challenge to the track and field dominant US team.
After the final of the women’s 4x100m relay race, the two of them sat in front of the TV and had no interest in continuing to chat, their eyes began to stay motionless on the TV screen, watching The next men’s 4x100m relay race begins.
Three years have passed, both Shen Yunbao and Chen Jian, who are sitting at the dinner table, have changed a lot. The skin is no longer a bronze-colored wheat color, but is much fairer.
Chen Jian, who used to be a little thin, now looks a lot more well-proportioned, and his cheeks are also much rounder. On the other hand, Shen Yunbao was even worse, with a thicker waist and a very sturdy body.
After athletes retire, most of them inevitably go through such a stage of gaining weight due to metabolism and training volume, and the two are no exception.
“If only Yang Guangzong was here.”
Looking at the TV camera, the shot of Su Bingtian, the first player of the Chinese team flashed, Shen Yunbao suddenly murmured.
Shen Yunbao had already taken time off to watch the game in Osaka. He had just retired at the 2005 World Championships in Helsinki, entered a new unit and adapted to his new identity, so he couldn’t find time at all.
Now finally has this time, but before leaving, he suddenly changed his mind.
Flighted from Jinling to Haizhu City, Guangdong Province, opened a box directly, and only asked Chen Jian to watch a game together.
And after these remarks, Chen Jian also felt a bit of disappointment in his heart.
The men’s 4×100m race was very fast, when the starting gun sounded, when the two looked at the ninth track Su Bingtian, Zhang Peimeng and Wen Yong Yicheng through the far lens , and was instantly overwhelmed with excitement.
That was their chasing and memories of the past, the familiar track, the familiar arena, and the place where they once galloped and chased their dreams.
In the last bat, Su Zu took over the baton and started chasing from behind again. It was a familiar scene.
In the final results on the big screen, although the Chinese relay team failed to win the championship, the top three results did not disappoint the two.
Especially in the counterattack under the obvious disadvantage, creating a historic result and breaking the national and Asian records they set that year, both Chen Jian and Shen Yunbao shouted in the private room shouted.
The record was broken, they didn’t lose half a point, and there were only surprises in their hearts.
This is our relay team, our once glorious project, even in the face of the current US team and Jamaica, it is strong enough and has absolute competitiveness!
“I want to drink!”
“Then don’t get drunk!”
…
The audience couldn’t help shouting loudly!
During the period, even many Japanese spectators who were originally just cheering for their national athletes, also sincerely sighed at the performance of the fourth bat, Su Zu’s counterattack and surpassing.
, but it is engraved into the hearts of every spectator like a brand.
Although the Chinese relay team failed to achieve the peak of winning the championship as in the 2004 Olympic Games, in this game, the men’s relay team surpassed the relay team at that time in both results and performance.
These young Chinese sprinters, the kind of hard work and spirit that they show is really inspiring.
Especially the last fourth bar, the two top men’s 100m runners in the world today, Su Zu and Powell, made an amazing performance in the last fourth bar of the relay, bringing a It’s an aesthetic that almost makes people bloody.
The absolute speed, the indomitable momentum, is amazing!
“Lao Yuan, well done!”
Li Zhizhong applauded for a while, then turned around and shouted to Yuan Guohua.
In the boiling scene like rolling away, Yuan Guohua watched the Chinese men’s relay team, Su Zu, Su Bingtian, Zhang Peimeng, and Wen Yongyi wearing a huge red flag together, on the runway Greeted with cheers and applause, and almost tears.
“It’s not me, it’s these brats who are doing too well.”
Yuan Guohua’s lips moved slightly, and his body trembled slightly.
Even when the Chinese relay team won the Olympic championship in 2004, he never had such a performance.
And today, in Osaka three years later, he has an indescribable emotion and excitement in his heart.
Although it is only a bronze medal, it is the third place, but this performance has greatly exceeded the performance of the 2005 World Championships. And from the point of view of performance, the score of 37.89 seconds has reached a very amazing level.
This result is definitely at the level of champions in the last World Championships in Helsinki or the Athens Olympics, but the results of the US and Jamaica teams this time are even more amazing.
Tyson Gay, the third team of the US team, and Asafa Powell, the fourth team of the Jamaica team, although they lost to Suzu in the men’s 100 and 200 meters, but They are all sprinters at the same level as Su Zu.
The average strength of the other three sticks far exceeds that of the Chinese team, and even the relay teams of the United Kingdom, Brazil, and Japan, the level of the first three sticks is higher than the Chinese team.
From the preliminaries, the Chinese team entered the final with a parking space. In the ninth track, the Chinese team was able to run such a result, which definitely exceeded Yuan Guohua’s expectations.
And in the field of sprinting or track and field, sometimes in addition to a single ranking, performance is a very important factor to measure, after all, this is not a confrontational sport like ball games.
It is a sport that breaks the limits of individuals and groups. The performance of the Chinese team can be said to be something that Yuan Guohua, Li Zhizhong and other national team coaches never thought of.
breakthrough.
The Chinese relay team performed very well in the preliminaries, and in the finals, the improvement in performance was not only due to the fact that the fourth rod was replaced by Su Zu, the other three rods Su Bingtian and Zhang Peimeng , Wen Yongyi all ran better than the preliminaries.
Of course, the strength of the United States and Jamaica is obvious to all, although this time the United States composed of Tyson Guy, Wallace Spearmont, Davis Barton and Leroy Dixon Team, the final time to win the championship was 37.78 seconds, the distance from the legendary American relay team created by Drummond, Andre Carson, Dennis Michel and Roy Burrell in 1993. The world record of 37.40 is a little behind, but no one will deny their power.
This is the United States men’s relay team since the 2004 Olympic Games, 2005 Helsinki World Championships, once again back to the top.
Of course, from this game, you can clearly see the challenges that the US team will encounter. The newly-emerging Jamaican sprint project has grown from the men’s team and the women’s team in the 100 meters, 200 meters and 4 Challenge with multiple projects such as ×100 meters.
Although Su Zu won the men’s 200m championship at the World Championships, the pattern of three American players and three Jamaican players in the final could not be clearer.
In another time and space, from 2005, when Powell first broke the world record of 9.79 seconds with a time of 9.77 seconds for Maurice Green (Montgomery’s 9.78 seconds has been cancelled), and then there was the Jamaican Lightning, With such fighters as John Blake, the impact on the dominance of the traditional American sprint is obvious.
In the United States in the 2006-2011 basic major events, only Tyson Gay independently supported. Fortunately, after Tyson Guy declined due to injury, Justin Gatlin, who made a strong comeback, once again carried the banner of fighting against the Jamaican army.
It can be exaggerated to say that the emergence of Powell announced the rise of the Jamaican Army, and the appearance of Usain Bolt made sprinting popular all over the world, and repeatedly raised the men’s 100-meter sprint upper limit of .
In 2017 and 2018, when Jamaica retired with lightning, the new American Christian Coleman broke the men’s 60m 6.34 world record, but his 100m and 200m 9s The results of 82 and 19.85 did not make many people feel a special performance.
At least in the future, if there is no result within 9 seconds 70 or even 9 seconds 60, it is difficult to impress people who have experienced the crazy era of Jamaica lightning to be able to sigh again.
At this time, in the Nagai Stadium, because it was too late, people in the audience began to leave one after another.
Although the race was exciting enough, from the start to the final finish line, the results were exciting, but many Japanese spectators were still somewhat disappointed by the Japanese team’s performance.
So far this year’s Osaka World Championships, the best performance of the Japanese track and field team as the host is only a bronze medal in the women’s marathon, which has made many Japanese people dissatisfied, and there have been many competitions before Refunds, the phenomenon of tickets not selling is enough to illustrate this point.
The men’s 4x100m relay race, which was highly expected by many Japanese spectators tonight, only came in sixth, which made many people feel a little disheartened.
In all fairness, the Japanese team ran a score of 38.03 seconds in this game, which is already a huge improvement. In the 2003 and 2005 World Championships, it was a result that could win the championship .
However, in 2007, the world track sprint project really entered a stage of soaring performance. 38 seconds 03, and only got the sixth place.
On the runway, Su Zu, Su Bingtian, Zhang Peimeng, and Wen Yongyi were wearing red flags and standing in front of numerous media reporters for interviews.
“Su Zu, do you feel a little sorry for not being able to win the men’s 4x100m gold medal?” A CCTV reporter took the microphone and followed Su Zu around for dozens of times. Meter.
“No, I’m very satisfied.” Su Zu draped the red flag over his body, smiled and made a victory gesture to the camera, then said, “The 4×100 bronze It’s tough, but I’m happy, even happier than me breaking the 100m world record and defending the 100m champion, because it’s a team project, it’s a collective strength, I have good teammates, logo It feels great to see our country rise in the world of sprinting!”
Speaking, Su Zu waved to the other three who were a little excited behind him. The four stood in front of the camera, wearing national flags, raised their right hand high, and shouted in unison: “China, come on! “
