Run Out of My Life - Chapter 375

    “Hello, do you have any extra tickets?”

    “Are there any extra tickets, how much?”

    “Dude, do you have any more tickets in hand? I’ll pay double, no, triple the price.”

    Lin Bang carried the camera on his back, and looked at the young man in front of him who had asked several people in a row and finally asked him, and suddenly became interested, “Why, are there no tickets for sale at the ticket booth?”

    “Hey, it’s already sold out.” The young man who asked the question shook his head, and said with some distress: “I didn’t pay attention to it a while ago, and I didn’t buy it in advance. I came to line up early today, and it turned out that I didn’t. Queued. This is not the Olympics, who would have thought there would be so many people.”

    Lin Bang nodded, looked up at the Bird’s Nest National Stadium not far away, and said, “There are indeed too many people.”

    He had already heard from his accent that the person in front of him was probably a local. He suddenly wanted to enter the Bird’s Nest to watch the game, but only to realize that he couldn’t buy tickets for a while.

    To be honest, Lin Bang was slightly surprised by this discovery. Although the competition was held in the Bird’s Nest these few days, this was only the “Good Luck Beijing” Track and Field Open in the Bird’s Nest Track and Field Olympic Test Match .

    But… Thinking of tonight’s game schedule, the corner of Lin Bang’s mouth drew a slight arc, probably many viewers should have the same goal as him.

    “There will be the men’s 100m semi-final and final tonight. I heard that it is Su Zu’s only rehearsal before the Olympics. It’s not that easy to find someone to share tickets for you. “

    Speaking, Lin Bang patted the other party’s shoulder, looking helpless.

    “Alas…” The young man who asked for tickets all the way sighed and continued: “I tell you, I didn’t expect there would be so many people. And ah, hey, I too I didn’t come here with Su Zu in the 100m, I will definitely watch Su Zu’s game at the Olympics.”

    “Oh?” Lin Bang was a little surprised, “Then who are you?”

    “I just wanted to see the men’s 400m final tonight. I didn’t know until yesterday’s preliminaries that he was back to compete. No, this weekend, I will hurry over here.”

    “Men’s 400m final?” Lin Bang was even more surprised when he heard this, “Who did you say is back?”

    …

    Amid the tsunami-like sound, Su Zu waved to the already bursting auditorium and left the track and field.

    Hula-la applause and cheers sounded, one after another, the men’s 100-meter semi-final just ended. Su Zu has successfully won the first place in the group and successfully advanced to the final. Everyone knew that in two and a half hours, Su Zu would return to the arena.

    “Competing in the Bird’s Nest feels completely different from racing anywhere else.”

    Yesterday was the 100-meter preliminaries. At that time, the middle and lower tiers of the Bird’s Nest were open, and the attendance was not too high. Today, because it is the highlight, the stands are almost full.

    “There’s nothing better than this arena.”

    Su Zu put his hands on his hips, and while walking, he felt that he was also affected by the fiery atmosphere of the scene.

    The 2005 Magic City Grand Prix was the first time to compete with many world-class players in China. At that time, I felt a completely different atmosphere from competing in other countries.

    There is a lot of pressure, after all, people all over the country have been watching. But more importantly, it should be something called trust. Whenever he looks up, he doesn’t need to find out if someone in the audience has played a five-star red flag like he did when playing abroad, but what he sees. , all compatriots, all nationals.

    Whether they shout, cheer, cheer, or curse, sigh, every word, every sentence, can be heard clearly and clearly, from the ear to the heart.

    Today is May 23rd, the second day of the 2008 “Good Luck Beijing” China Athletics Open, a four-day open schedule, and a few months later in the Bird’s Nest Olympics schedule The settings are basically the same.

    For Su Zu, the four-day competition was mainly to get familiar with the detailed process from warm-up to check-in to competition. Since he has competitions in four days (100m preliminaries on the first day, 100m semi-finals and finals on the second day, 200m preliminaries on the third day, and 200m semi-finals and finals on the fourth day), for the test, he prepared the event from the beginning By the time of the official competition process, Li Zhizhong and the project team arranged different warm-up times for three days: 2 hours and 25 minutes on the first day, 2 hours on the second day, 1 hour and 50 minutes on the third day, and 1 hour on the fourth day. Hours and 30 minutes, plus pre-match roll call, check-in and other time, and strive to ensure that there is enough warm-up time to achieve the best state.

    This is also a rare home field advantage. Although the track and field are the same, the various processes before entering the arena will kill the spirit and state of the athletes to a certain extent.

    Only in one’s own country, one’s own home game, can one be able to achieve the ultimate in every tiny detail and prepare in advance.

    Su Zu ran two races on the track of the Bird’s Nest, and he felt very good. The track of the Bird’s Nest is very good, with high hardness, which is very conducive to the players’ performance. However, relatively speaking, training is not so suitable, because the ankles are easily damaged by running too much on the high-hardness field. After the Open Track and Field Tournament is over, it has been arranged that the venue will be on the side of the General Administration of Sports. The track is relatively soft and suitable for training.

    “Hey, Su Zu, aren’t you going to take a break?”

    After getting off the track and field, Zhang Peimeng suddenly found that Su Zu did not go directly into the corridor to the rest area of ​​the players, but directly found a volunteer in a white uniform to ask for a seat and sat down down.

    The men’s 100m semi-final just ended at 19:45, and the next men’s 100m final was at 22:20, more than two hours, just for the contestants Get reasonable rest.

    “No, I want to watch the game.” Su Zuchao Zhang Peimeng waved his hand, “I have reservations just now, I have enough physical strength, besides, I won’t break the record in this game, sit here and rest for a while. It will be fine.”

    Zhang Peimeng nodded and sat down beside Su Zu, “Then I’ll be with you too.”

    Su Zu smiled and said nothing. The main purpose of everyone participating in the Open is to adapt to the venue. Zhang Peimeng’s 100-meter level has reached the top two and top three in the country. Apart from himself, there are not many players who can pose a threat in the final.

    The seats for the two of them are reserved for many reporters in the media area, but although there are many reporters in this track and field open competition, it is only a domestic event after all, and many large international media have not yet so there are still plenty of vacancies.

    In the track and field, after the men’s 100-meter semifinals, one event after another started in an orderly manner.

    19:45-21:05 Women’s Shot Put Final;

    19:50-20:00 Women’s 1500m final;

    20:00-22:00 Men’s Long Jump Final;

    20:05-20:15 Men’s 1500m final;

    20:20-20:30 Women’s 400m final;

    Until 20:30, the men’s 400m final started, Su Zu, who had been sitting safely in his seat watching the game, suddenly stood up.

    The eight runners who participated in the men’s 400-meter final of the China Athletics Open have now appeared in front of the starting line of the curve.

    On the fourth track, a slender, tall and thin athlete with brown eyes instantly attracted everyone’s attention.

    “That’s…?”

    Zhang Peimeng followed Su Zu’s gaze and was stunned for a while.

    “Yeah, he’s back!”

    Su Zu looked at the figure on the field, clapped gently, and smiled brightly.

    It was only at this time that Zhang Peimeng understood why Su Zu didn’t even take into account the important two-hour break between the semi-finals and the finals. What he wanted to wait for was the men’s 400-meter final.

    Yang Guangzong.

    Before the appearance of Suzu, the best men’s 200m runner in China was once the strongest competitor of Japanese athlete Shingo Susutsu.

    At the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, Yang Guangzong ran into the men’s 200-meter semi-finals, and in the 4×100-meter relay race, he played as the second runner of the Chinese team’s relay team, helping the Chinese team to create a new He won the heaviest gold medal in Olympic track and field history, the men’s 4x100m relay gold medal.

    After the Athens Olympics, as Chen Jian and Shen Yunbao retired, Yang Guangzong gradually faded out of the public eye and went to the United States for training.

    From a top Asian men’s 200m athlete to a 400m athlete.

    Before Su Zu appeared, the men’s 400 meters was almost the only sprint event that the yellow race and the white race could compete with the black racers.

    Yang Guangzong realized this. In the men’s 100-meter or 200-meter field, he is hardly competitive against the world’s top sprinters. The men’s 100m 10.26 and 200m 20.54 are vastly different than the top black sprinters.

    Moreover, the appearance of Su Zu at that time strengthened his idea.

    The current world number one men’s 400m athlete Jeremy Warina is white, and the British new generation 400m player Martin Rooney is white. In the men’s 100-meter or 200 meters, there is already an athlete like Su Zu who can compete with the top black players, so in the men’s 400 meters, this is a sprint event where he has the best chance.

    Now, he’s back.

    People are forgetful. After leaving China and the world for more than three years, many people have a vague memory of Yang Guangzong.

    But people also have the best memory. When a player who once dominated the Chinese field and won the best Olympic honor really appeared, many people still thought of him.

    Even many spectators came to the Bird’s Nest to watch tonight’s game, not because it was Su Zu’s only game before the Olympics, but because someone returned to the field.

    At the entrance of the audience, there are many people eager to find tickets, and everyone is eager to see the game tonight. Many people can’t find scalper tickets or the price is too high, so they simply stay in the Olympic Park to watch the big screen.

    Pop!

    In the track and field, the gunshots of the game sounded.

    “Yang Guangzong, come on!”

    Someone shouted from the stand.

    Then the second sound, the third sound, until the sound of the whole bird’s nest is overwhelming.

    In this frenetic atmosphere, the magic city athlete who has worked hard to change the project for several years did not disappoint people.

    The start was perfect and the acceleration was full.

    First turn, second turn, third turn.

    He ran on the track of the Bird’s Nest at a speed far exceeding that of other athletes.

    When Yang Guangzong crossed the finish line, panting to the audience cheering for him, the atmosphere in the audience reached its climax.

    On the timing board next to the finish line, on the big screen at the scene, his results appeared.

    45 seconds 07!

    Breaking the national record of 45 seconds 25 set by Xu Zizhou at the East Asian Games on May 24, 2001!

    Su Zu rushed into the track and field almost immediately, and gave Yang Guangzong a hug amid the many exclamations around him!

    Brother, long time no see!

    Even if they were on the track and field team, before this game, Su Zu had been training in closed training at the Hagen base, and Yang Guangzong was also very low-key and did not contact anyone.

    Su Zu did not know from Li Zhizhong until yesterday’s 1100m preliminaries that Yang Guangzong had returned to China and was determined to participate in the “Good Luck Beijing” Track and Field Open. Yang Guangzong has not yet qualified for the AB standard of the Olympic Games, and this game is extremely important to him.

    And now, he not only came back, but also gave everyone a surprise!
