Run Out of My Life - Chapter 387

    “…The second group of the men’s semi-finals will begin soon…The first is Martial Benjak, a player from France, who is a rare white player in the track and field. He ran a personal best of 10.06 in Albi in July.

    Second, American athlete Davis Barton, he made a blockbuster in the US Olympic Trials and performed very well. Now he is bowing his head and praying constantly.

    Third-way Netherlands Antilles player Kurandi Martina, one of three Dutch Antilles Olympians in 2004, was in yesterday’s men’s 100 In the rematch, Kurandi Martina set a personal best of 9.97 seconds, which was also the first time he ran the 10-second mark…”

    After the first group of the men’s 100m semi-finals ended, the broadcast TV footage left the field for a short time and was switched to the Olympic live broadcast room. When the live screen switched back to the field again, the athletes in the second group of the semifinals had already appeared on the track and field.

    “The fourth course, Su Zu…” When introducing the fourth course athlete, Yang Jian’s voice rose a little bit, “Su Zu performed very easily in the preliminaries and rematch yesterday, We hope that he will not feel too much pressure in today’s Bird’s Nest Stadium, and can calm down and fully play his own level when facing the challenge of the current world’s top sprinters.

    The fifth course, Asafa Powell, this year’s Asafa Powell just broke the men’s 60-meter world record at the indoor world championships, even in such a turbulent sprint era, he is still in the world Sports are firmly in their place and we are looking forward to what he gives us.

    Sixth course, Justin Gatlin, the king’s return, the 2004 Olympic men’s 100m champion, after his comeback this year, Gatlin still maintains his good state, although he and Tyson · Guy lost to Bolt at the New York Grand Prix, but he still set a personal best in that race. This is also a strong contender for the men’s 100m championship tonight.

    Road 7, Richard Thompson of Trinidad and Tobago, in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, his teacher Bolton won the 100m bronze medal in the Atlanta Olympics, he has a chance Continue this tradition. Thompson stopped in the second round of the rematch in the men’s 100-meter race at the Osaka World Championships last year, but this year he has also achieved a leap in strength, running 6 seconds in the Fayetteville 60-meter race in March A personal best of 51, and helped Trinidad and Tobago win the 4 x 100-meter relay gold medal at the 2008 Central American and Caribbean Championships.

    The eighth course, Francis Obekwelu, the current European 100m record holder, was out in the men’s 100m final at the 2004 Olympic Games and missed the final. In an interview with reporters before the game, he said that in this 2008 Olympics, he will never make the same mistake again…”

    Before the starting line, Su Zu gently moved his neck, instead of waving his hands to greet all the spectators around him as before, he just glanced at Asafa Powell and Justin Gatlin from the corner of his eyes. people.

    Especially Justin Gatling, this is the second time the two competed together after two years.

    Just now in the inspection area, Justin Gatlin and Su Zu had a brief exchange, but on the eve of the competition, there was no in-depth discussion on the topic.

    In the 2006 Doha Grand Prix, Suzu broke the world record for the first time, under the pressure of Justin Gatlin, ran out of Powell’s 9 seconds 75 world record, In that game, Gatlin also set a personal best, tying Powell’s world record of 9.77 seconds.

    Further, Gatlin experienced an 18-month suspension, and Tyson Gay rose to become a new generation of sprinters in the United States.

    Nowadays have changed, this time the Olympic men’s 100-meter race, for Gatlin, can be regarded as an important arena for him to return to the world’s top athletes.

    In this group, because of the presence of Su Zu, Powell, and Gatlin, the competition is even more intense than in the first group.

    In the men’s 100-meter final two hours later, there are only eight places, and the top four in each semi-final advance, and three of them, Su Zu, Powell and Gatlin, are in one, although the competition has not yet At the beginning, it was not certain whether the three of them would advance, but almost everyone could imagine that it would be much more difficult for these three people to be in the same group if they wanted to qualify for the finals.

    It can even be said that Richard Thompson, Obikvelu, Davis Barton and others are just competing for another place other than the three.

    Of course, it’s too early to say all of this. Only after crossing the finish line and looking at the top four will be the final result of this semi-final group stage.

    “Suzu, come on!”

    “Suzu, Suzu!”

    “Come on, China!”

    …

    At the starting line, Su Zu could occasionally hear the excited cheers of the audience on the side closest to the runway, and even the “swoosh” of the rhythmic castanets from time to time clearly conveyed into the ear.

    This is what it’s like to play at home!

    The entire audience in the stand seemed to be supporting him, making him give birth to infinite power out of thin air, blood boiling and passion.

    But it is also a heavy burden that will make many players overwhelmed.

    However, for Su Zu, these are no longer things that make him lose his temper. From the moment he stepped on the field, he initially ran for himself, even if he later carried the expectations of many people, but He has been able to see a lot of things in his two lives. In addition to his six or seven years of career, he has been honed and tempered one game after another. Now, no matter what kind of game or what kind of opponent, he will not be afraid.

    His heart was restless and calm, and the noise in his ears gradually turned into nothingness.

    “Onyourmarks!”

    Before the starting line, a reminder for the athletes to take their place came.

    The hustle and bustle of the 90,000 people in the audience also gradually quieted down at this moment.

    “This game is also after the 2004 Olympic Games. Suzu, Asafa Powell and Justin Gatlin competed on the same field again. In the 2005 World Championships in Helsinki, they were once I thought it would be the peak duel of the three, but unfortunately, in that game, because of Powell’s injury, only Su Zu and Gatlin completed the duel. Then in 2006, Powell returned from injury, but Gatlin With a suspension, the three-man showdown has been delayed again and again.

    Today at the Imperial Capital, at the Bird’s Nest, and on the men’s 100m semi-final runway, the three of them finally fulfilled their promise to compete and compete on the same stage. “

    In Yang Jian’s commentary, many viewers in front of the TV watched the three people bent over and squatted in front of the track, and those who knew a little about track and field remembered the media reports at that time .

    Before the 2005 World Championships in Helsinki, Justin Gatlin was in full swing and was the 2004 Olympic champion, while Powell broke the men’s 100m world record. The performance is not bad, but the three of them are relatively weak in terms of strength or performance.

    It was not until the Helsinki World Championships that Suzu defeated Justin Gatlin to become the double champion of the men’s 100-meter or 200-meter, and then established his status in the world men’s sprint.

    After that, everyone thought that the three-champion hegemony situation would continue, and with Gatlin’s suspension, there were only six battles between Su Zu and Powell in the Golden League.

    In the blink of an eye, two years later, the three men met in advance in the men’s 100m semi-final at the Olympic Games, which undoubtedly surprised the people who had been hyped for years.

    “SET!”

    Before the starting line, all eight runners had already bent over and squatted on the starting block, and the starter began to shout the preparation password.

    The audience held their breath.

    Pop!

    The starting gun sounds and the game begins!

    Su Zu and Powell started almost at the same time, the reaction speed of the two was on the same level, and the starting technique was relatively close in a certain angle. On the device, for a moment, the whole person flew forward like a rocket.

    Justin Gatlin’s start response and start acceleration are not the best, but his unique running style and strong hip delivery ability at the start of the weak disadvantage does not affect his final performance.

    Ten meters, twenty meters, thirty meters…

    The position of the players before and after the start acceleration stage is not easy to distinguish, whether it is the audience sitting in front of the TV, at this time, because of the angle or the position of the camera angle, they can only see eight The famous athlete moves like a dragon from a standstill to the stage where he lifts his body to the highest speed.

    But at this time, the viewing angle of Yang Jian, the on-site commentator, was relatively clear, and he shouted in an instant: “…The game started, Su Zu started very fast, he and Powell kept pace…”

      half body.

    Asafa Powell, has the most perfect and best start on the planet, although the height is almost 190 with Suzu, but the start acceleration is one of the fastest in the world , even when the state and performance are good, it is almost difficult to appear a particularly strong challenger.

    Many runners at home and abroad including Su Zu, Su Bingtian, Bolt and other runners have borrowed and learned Powell’s starting skills to a certain extent.

    Su Zu’s start has been more harmonious since 2007. Although he is slightly weaker than Powell in the first 20 meters, the gap is limited. When the distance reaches 30 meters, the acceleration run is nearing the end. , the slight gap between Su Zu and Powell has been smoothed out, or even exceeded.

    After all, it was the semi-final. Although Su Zu was serious about this semi-final, he did not play 100%. He slightly surpassed Powell at the 30-meter position and began to lead the entire group.

    Suzu and Powell are followed closely by Richard Thompson, Kurandi Martina, Davis Barton and Justin Gatlin The gap between one body and half body is stubbornly biting.

    Among the four, Richard Thompson, Kurandi Martina, and Davis Barton competed the most fiercely, almost at full speed. In such a semi-final death group In, it is impossible to say reservations if you want to advance.

    Although Justin Gatlin is measured from a horizontal line at the moment, relatively backward, but the huge stride is increasing his speed to the extreme with the acceleration distance little by little.

    Forty meters, fifty meters, sixty meters…

    As soon as almost 40 meters passed and entered the high-speed stage of running on the way, Su Zu surpassed Asafa Powell and ran to the first position. Although he participated in few competitions in 2008, he has not been slack and idle since the year after the Osaka World Championships last year.

    The entire season ended last October and entered winter training. He has been training at the Hagen training base. Since entering 2008, he has always been preparing for the Olympic Games.

    From his individual 100-meter or 200-meter event to the team’s 4×100-meter relay, Su Zu almost returned to the days before the 2004 Olympic Games.

    And at the New York Grand Prix on May 31st, the news of Bolt breaking his world record came. He had some delays except for the ignition ceremony of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. The rest of the time is almost as high as possible without getting hurt.

    Su Zu has always been known for his training, and the assistance of the system allows him to clearly see his own improvement, even if the attributes or potential values ​​become less and less after the Osaka World Championships , but only with a slight improvement, he can continue to practice.

    When Asafa Powell in the fifth lane felt that Suzu surpassed him in the fourth lane, he swept the corner of his eyes unconsciously, but quickly retracted it.

     Treating his 100-meter race as if he were alone in a dark tunnel, this is a thought that Powell keeps reinforcing in his mind.

    Don’t look at it, don’t think about it, just run as if you were alone.

    Although it is difficult for players not to be influenced by other opponents in actual competitions, Powell has gradually been able to adapt to this method with repeated reinforcement.

    He felt the footsteps of Justin Gatlin in the sixth lane beside him getting faster and faster, but he didn’t pay too much attention to it like he used to play.

    Focus on the race at hand and aim for the finish line!

    Justin Gatlin has been firmly locked on the guys in front of him, a player like him will never slack off because of his slow start, only if he does not cross the finish line, for For him, the game has not yet been decided.

    The strong desire to win drove his stride and stride frequency to increase rapidly, entering the highest speed stage.

    After 40 meters, he has caught up with his teammate Davis Barton, 50 meters he started to pass Kurandi Martina, 60 meters Justin Gart Lin was already close to Richard Thompson at this time and began to approach Asafa Powell.

    In the second group of this semi-final, Su Zu, Powell, and Justin Gatlin are terrifyingly strong, but the three of them do not dare to relax easily, after all, the group qualifying places There are only four, and if anyone relaxes a little at this time, it is likely to lose Jingzhou carelessly.

    Seventy meters, eighty meters, ninety meters…

    Richard Thompson of Trinidad and Tobago in the seventh lane felt the pressure like never before, Suzu in the fourth lane and Asafa Powell in the fifth lane from the fourth lane After ten meters, he was clearly ahead, and after fifty meters, he could feel it even in the seventh pass.

    And at the 60-meter position, Justin Gatlin began to exert his strength.

    Anyone who has watched Justin Gatlin races knows very well that in Justin Gatlin’s career races, especially in big races, there are very few times when he takes the lead at the start, and most It’s just not too far behind or able to hold onto the top three.

    He has always been the type to kill opponents in the second half. He’s like Carl Lewis, when you watch the race, maybe in the first half, or even the first fifty meters, you don’t notice him, you don’t see him in the lead, the way he runs and the way he runs, don’t want to Tyson Gay and Asafa Powell are as beautiful as they are, but when you cross the finish line at the end, you will notice such a runner who, at some point, has already run to the front, a nod and cross the line. Action took the first place.

    This is the scene on the field at this time. After 50 meters, Su Zu and Powell have gradually run out of the entire player camp. Thompson, and after 70 meters and 80 meters, the three people running at the front were Su Zu, Powell and Gatlin. At 90 meters, Su Zu’s lead was still there, and Gatlin was almost Almost in the same position as Powell.

    The last ten meters, five meters…

    Su Zu crossed the finish line first.

    Before crossing the finish line, Su Zu turned his head and glanced at Powell and Gatling on the right, and he had clearly made a move.

    Powell almost also started to take the last two steps when Suzu was in the water, while Gatlin kept his running rhythm at this time, and in the last few meters, he achieved Overtaking Powell, the second followed Su Zu and crossed the finish line.

    “…Su Zu leads Powell, Su Zu runs in the first place, Su Zu, Su Zu, okay!! Su Zu won the first place in the group!”

    At the moment when Su Zu crossed the finish line, the audience in front of the TV also heard Yang Jian’s excited voice, “9 seconds 81, the quality of this group of semifinals is really frighteningly high, even if it is Gatlin in second was also better than Bolt in the first group.”

    On the big screen at the scene, the results of the top four in the men’s 100m semi-final second group to advance to the final were also played out:

    1. Fourth course, Su Zu, China, reaction time 0.146 seconds, score 9 seconds 81;

    2. The sixth track, Justin Gatlin, USA, reaction 0.155, score 9 seconds 84;

    3. Fifth course, Asafa Powell, Jamaica, reaction 0.139, score 9 seconds 86;
