Run Out of My Life - Chapter 366
September 2nd news, the 2007 World Track and Field Championships came to an end, the American Legion topped the pack with 12 golds, and China achieved 3 golds, 1 silver and 2 bronzes, the best record in 14 years. The performance at the World Championships has ignited the hopes of the Chinese Army for next year’s 2008 Olympic Games.
AFP also summed up the Chinese team’s performance at the World Championships with “The Chinese Army’s performance at the World Championships ignited expectations for the 2008 Olympics”. The article said that the Chinese team finally ranked among the medals The fourth place on the list, three golds, one silver, two bronzes and three medals still created the best record in 14 years, which also gave the Chinese people better expectations for next year’s 2008 Olympic Games.
Feng Shuyong, head coach of the Chinese track and field team, said in an interview: “The overall situation in China’s track and field has improved. Through the World Championships, we have further enhanced our confidence. Before the 2008 Olympic Games, we must put our work Do it to the extreme, and strive to fully blossom on your strengths.”
IAAF President Diack said in an interview: “I believe that in next year’s 2008 Olympic Games, Chinese athletes who play at home will perform better. Men’s 100m and 110m In the meter hurdles event, Su Zu and Liu Yangyu have a 100% chance of winning the championship again. In other events, the Chinese players will also explode.”
Three golds, one silver and two bronzes, including the first gold medal in the men’s event at the World Track and Field Championships, and two gold medals by world record holder Su Zu in the men’s 100m and 200m events, the Olympic Games Champion and world record holder Liu Yangyu won a gold medal in the men’s 110m hurdles.
In addition, the men’s 4x100m relay event is of great significance. The Chinese men’s relay team created more than the 2004 Olympic Games and the 2005 World Championships. precious.
This year’s World Championships, another event with outstanding performance in Asia is the marathon. Cartel’s Shami wins silver in the men’s marathon. Chinese and Japanese runners occupied half of the top eight places in the women’s marathon: Chinese runners ranked second and fourth; Japanese runners ranked third and sixth.
Next year’s Olympic Games, if several top Asian players can participate in the best form, their overall results will definitely be better than this World Championships.
…
“Master, are you sure you won’t participate in this year’s IAAF Finals?”
On the flight from Osaka to Magic Capital, Su Zu sat in the first class seat, twisted his body, and asked Li Zhizhong who was looking at the documents beside him.
“Well, the time is too tight. This year’s schedule will end until the Grand Prix of Magic Capital. You can rest a little during this time.” Li Zhizhong looked at the stacks of documents in his hand. These are the data of Su Zu and some other outstanding players at home and abroad collected by the Osaka World Championships, and we need to go back to the entire research group for analysis.
The just-concluded 2007 World Championships, in the track and field events, many newcomers are very eye-catching. Especially in some medal-competitive events, basically the coaching staff will have aggregated data on athletes. Athletes’ competition on the field often starts from a very early designated training plan and understanding of their opponents.
The 2007 IAAF Finals were held on September 22 and September 23 in Stuttgart, Germany, while the Magic City Grand Prix was held on September 28, the distance between the two was relatively close . After the fierce Osaka Grand Prix just finished, facing such an intensive schedule, the research team has directly abandoned this year’s IAAF Finals.
Because of the World Championships, this year’s IAAF Finals are less attractive than in previous years. Many champions and runners-up who performed well in the Osaka World Championships basically gave up Athletics Finals.
It is the Magic City Grand Prix, because it is very close to Osaka, many players choose to rest in Japan, or go to Magic City, ready to participate in the last stop of this year’s IAAF World Tour – Magic Grand Prix.
“By the way, how did the director of the opening ceremony come to chat with you that day? When will the rehearsal start?” Li Zhizhong asked while flipping through the profiles of several players in his hand.
“Master, you also promised me to participate in the ignition ceremony?” Su Zu was a little surprised when Li Zhizhong asked this.
“This is not a question of whether I will answer or not. The final ignition ceremony must be completed by internationally renowned athletes. Speaking of which, you are the most suitable.”
Li Zhizhong smiled, put up the stack of documents in his hand, tapped lightly on the small baffle in front of the seat, flattened it and put it away.
As the head coach of Su Zu, even if many things bypass him, he still understands the inside story.
Since the 2004 Olympic Games, two World Championships have passed, holding four World Championships gold medals and the current men’s 100m world record, even Dayao and Liu Yangyu among domestic athletes are far behind Su Zu’s popularity. On a global scale, Su Zu is also currently the most recognizable sports player.
“Director Feng also communicated with me later, and the part you are responsible for is not troublesome. If you have time to participate in two or three rehearsals, it should be almost the same, and it will not be more troublesome than shooting an advertisement. where to go.”
“That’s true.” Su Zu nodded. Since he realized that the ignition ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games was “Phoenix Returning to the Nest”, Su Zu took a look at it later.
According to the planning of the director team of the opening ceremony, the part he is in charge of is actually very simple, that is, to receive the torches from other players outside the Bird’s Nest Stadium, and then enter the stadium for a circle, and finally it should be handed over It is not clear whether it is for a shooter or two people on the platform to work together, just shoot the torch and light the flame.
Compared to what he thought before, it was much easier to hang Weiya around the field for a week. In this way, except for a few rehearsals, it will not have much impact on his training and competition.
In fact, the last torch handover is mainly to require the athletes to be well-known enough to set off a climax of the scene after entering the stadium.
The other one is better psychological quality. In the face of tens of thousands of stadiums and live broadcasts by media from all over the world, the chain will not be lost at a critical moment.
These two points are undoubtedly the most suitable at present for Su Zu. The reason why the director team of the opening ceremony excluded Zheng Qiuliang from coming to Osaka was actually to see Su Zu’s popularity and performance on the field .
Of course, after completing this opening ceremony, Su Zu must face more pressure in the following games. After all, you are an active athlete at the opening ceremony. If you perform too well in the official game Poor, it will undoubtedly fall into the limelight.
However, compared to the “Flying” ignition ceremony that Su Zu thought would take a lot of time and physical energy, he felt that all this was not a problem.
It is pressure and motivation.
For top athletes such as Su Zu, Liu Yangyu and Dayao, who have great reputation both at home and abroad, the competition at their own door is itself a huge pressure. And Su Zu walked step by step, every step was under pressure, and he was already used to it.
At 13:00, the plane landed at the Capital Airport.
Compared to the triumphant return to China after several previous competitions, this time the airport is relatively deserted. Mainly because the weather was too hot, and then the track and field team came back in several shifts.
After getting off the plane, Su Zu avoided the noisy crowd in the ordinary passage and entered the VIP lounge directly with the four teammates Su Bingtian, Zhang Peimeng, Wen Yongyi and Chen Yuhang of the relay team .
Half an hour later, a reception vehicle arranged by the center appeared, a group of people got into the car and left the airport directly.
Everyone’s itinerary is basically the same. They will attend the press conference of the field management center after the game in the imperial capital. After a short rest, they will go to the magical capital for the next stage of training to prepare for the battle. The Magic City Athletics Gold Grand Prix on September 28.
…
“Su Zu, you have already won gold medals in the men’s 100m and 200m world championships, we have no doubts about your strength, so have you thought about adding another event, such as Karl Like Lewis, next year is the Olympics, and you know all the spectators want to know how amazing you are going to be?”
On September 5th, in the press conference hall of the State Sports General Administration, Su Zu, Liu Yangyu and several players of the men’s 4×100m relay team were sitting on the rostrum to accept questions from domestic and foreign reporters .
On the second day after returning to the imperial capital, everyone made some adjustments and attended the press conference of this competition.
It is already September 2007, and the 2008 Olympic Games is not far away, and the attention to domestic sports is unprecedentedly high. The performance at the Osaka World Championships this time has also injected a powerful boost into the Chinese track and field.
At this time, Su Zu was sitting on the rostrum, and an online media stood up and asked him if he could do some more projects. After all, top sprinters like Carl Lewis, Also has an amazing performance in the long jump.
“Of course I thought about it, I always wanted to be Harrison Dillard.” Su Zu took the microphone and smiled, pointing to Liu Yangyu beside him, “But Brother Yangyu has always been Don’t give me a chance.”
Su Zu looked at the performance of the reporter who asked the question, and did not continue to explain. In fact, in addition to the pressure of his grades in recent years, there is also some internal and external pressures that require him to do both.
For example, the long jump and triple jump, the main coaches have proposed many times, let Su Zu try it out, after all, top athletes are hard to find, if Su Zu can win the championship in this event Gold medals, no, winning a medal is a medal, and it will attract everyone’s attention.
Like today’s sprint, it has become popular in China, and the influx of talents far exceeds that of other projects.
Su Zu’s own mind couldn’t be clearer. He is a track and field athlete and a sprinter. In the eyes of outsiders, he has almost reached the pinnacle in the field of sprinting, but he understands that he is not at all.
And in terms of the grand slam of honor, he still does not have a gold medal in the Olympic individual event, and after the lightning rise of Jamaica, he wants to compete with the opponent for the gold medal in the Olympic Games, the challenge is not ordinary.
As for Harrison Dillard mentioned by Su Zu, he is one of the most legendary athletes in the history of world track and field, a world Olympic gold medalist, an inductee of the US Olympic Hall of Fame, and the James E. Sullivan Award The winner is so far the only athlete who has won the Olympic championship in the 100-meter sprint and 110-meter hurdles.
In the history of world athletics, there are many athletes who can run the 100-meter and 110-meter hurdles, and some of them cross the border. For example, Justin Gatlin started out as a 110-meter hurdles competitor, but both of them can win the gold medal at the Olympics, only Harrison Dillard is the only one.
Of course, because of the age, Harrison Dillard participated in the 1948 and 1952 Olympic Games, if not for many years in the sports industry, almost not many people know about it.
But Harrison Dillard is still very prestigious in the American track and field world. USATF has a sports award named after Harrison Dillard to recognize the outstanding sports athlete of the year.
After the Osaka World Championships, a lot of news in the US track and field has been reported. Although Tyson Gay failed to win the gold medal in the 100m or 200m this year, he led the American men’s 4× The 100-meter relay team is back on top and will be a contender for this year’s Harrison Dillard Award.
…
The Athletics Center’s press conference after the World Championships ended. Everyone in the track and field team was separated for a short time. Everyone had a short vacation before the start of the Magic City Grand Prix.
As soon as Su Zugang left the field management center, he followed Yu Yaling into the car and went to the Beijing Film Studio.
A little over an hour later, the car arrived at the Beijing Film Studio, and Xia Chi, the production director who had a relationship two years ago, was already waiting at the door.
“Su Zu, congratulations, I watched all your games at the World Championships, and you performed really well!” Xia Chi came up and shook hands cordially and greeted Su Zu go in.
Su Zu came here two years ago when Xia Chi went to him to shoot the Olympic gift film. Although he refused later, Xia Chi never gave up, and because of various factors, the preparations for the gift film were also much late.
Today, the film “One Man’s Olympics” has basically completed the pre-shooting. Xia Chi contacted the Tianguan Center and Su Zu again, asking him to show his face at the end of the film and shoot a few scenes.
This is a gift film. If Su Zu had time, he would not be disgusted. The main reason for refusing at that time was because he was an athlete and needed competition and training.
And now there is not much content that he needs to complete the shooting, mainly a few scenes that appear, and not in the form of a feature film, but in the end of the game and the camera.
The movie “One Man’s Olympics” tells the story of Liu Changchun, the first Chinese Olympic player, who went to the United States to participate in the Olympic Games, and also participated in the men’s 100-meter and 200-meter competitions.
At that time, Liu Changchun’s strength was seriously weakened due to the long-distance sea wandering. However, Liu Changchun insisted on running out of the backbone of the Chinese people and out of the dignity of the Chinese people, so as to “participate in the Olympic Games is more important than competition” The spirit, stood on the track, participated in the competition, although failed to get the place and medal, but this spirit has inspired the latecomers since then. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Liu Changchun devoted himself to sports and cultivated talents for later generations of Chinese sports.
Su Zu is the representative of this latecomer, and there will be many video scenes of his participation in the Olympic Games and breaking world records at the end of the film. For some of the scenes, due to the lack of some positive character shots due to the game video at that time, Su Zu needed to assist in making up part of it.
The whole feature film has nothing to do with Su Zu, his appearance is similar to part of the menu or tidbits.
The later generation Su Zu once saw this film in school. To be honest, the filming was very ordinary, but aside from the quality of the film, the 2008 Olympic Games will be held in the motherland soon, and the meaning shown is natural It’s not like a normal movie.
Especially the ending song “Stand Up”, written by the director of the Olympic Cultural Activities Department of the Cultural Activities Department of the Imperial Olympic Organizing Committee, and composed by Shu Nan, the winner of the Golden Rooster Award for Best Music. It is sung by Han Hong, Jackie Chan, Wang Leehom, and Stefanie Sun. The four represent the mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan and overseas Chinese respectively.
In the MV of “Stand Up”, two generations of sprinters are combined to train under various conditions, galloping on different racetracks, from the first time Liu Changchun participated in the Olympic Games to the Soviet Union The generation of ancestors has risen in the world of field, and to some extent, it has reflected the history of Chinese sports development.
And this kind of gift movie theater has limited reception.
Su Zu can’t help but complain occasionally. In China, no matter the past or present, the real sports and competitive film and television dramas are almost extinct. drama.
In two days, Su Zu completed some supplementary shots of the shots, and then joined the track and field team and went directly to the Magic City to prepare for the last game of this year, the Magic City Grand Prix.
