Run Out of My Life - Chapter 392
“VJ, both you and Su have broken the men’s 100m world record, have you considered the 200m?”
On the warm-up track, Nugent Walker watched Bolt stop and rest after doing a simple stretching exercise for a while, and immediately leaned over to him and said with a smile.
“NJ, I don’t know, I want to defeat Su Zu.”
Bolt glanced at Nugent Walker and replied casually. The other party is his own growing up partner, and he knows his ideas and ambitions in the 200-meter project.
“You can definitely do it, Usain, you have long legs and speed endurance, you have an advantage against him, now you are not the time for last year’s World Championships.” Nugent Walker was excited, as if he was the one who was about to play.
Bolt smiled. For him, the 100m is just an appetizer. Running for fun is the best choice to break the world record or win the Olympic championship. If not, He wouldn’t be too disappointed by it either.
How many 100-meter races did he run?
The reason why he chose to run 100 meters was to avoid running 400 meters.
Of course, Bolt also knows that the 100 meters is more influential, and his coach Glenn Mills is also very obsessed with speed. He has studied a lot of Powell, Suzu, Gart The video of Lin et al. seems to have spent his whole life exploring the sustainable puzzle of “what is the limit speed of human beings”. His current performance has also added a lot of material to Glenn Mills’ research.
But for Bolt, 200 meters has a different meaning. He started to run 100 meters in some amateur events in his youth, but as he grew taller, he gradually focused on the 200 meters. The 200-meter sprint can be said to be his favorite, it can be said that it is his dream to fight for, and it is the goal that he wants to exhaust his whole life to fight to the death.
But when it comes to the world record, he never thought about it and it’s a lie.
Since Michael Johnson set a record of 19 seconds 32 in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, no one will be able to reach it in 12 years. Even Johnson himself believes that this record is difficult to break, and officially Michael Johnson The world record set has inspired him all the way and let him devote himself to track and field.
In recent years, the closest player to Michael Johnson’s record is Su Zu, who ran the second record of 19.37 in last year’s World Championships in Osaka.
After the World Championships final, Michael Johnson made it clear to the media that whether it was Suzu, Guy, or Bolt, his speed and endurance couldn’t match him. Compare.
Because he once had serious consideration, he doesn’t have too many ideas now. He now especially wants the Olympic gold medal in the men’s 200 meters, especially in the 100 meters, which is only a percent After losing to Su Zu in two seconds, he has absolute confidence in the 200 meters that he is good at.
“What is a world record, all I have to do is to give my best on the field and win the game…”
Boult shook his head and put aside Nugent Walker’s words of encouragement and expectation for him, followed Glenn Mills’ instructions, and went to the warm-up track again, doing two One set of ultra-distance running and one set of start training.
The men’s 200m preliminaries are about to start!
…
“Yang Guangzong is promoted!”
On the warm-up track, Su Zu heard the news of Yang Guangzong’s promotion from Zhang Pingqiu, and couldn’t help roaring twice.
The men’s 200-meter preliminaries started at 10:05. Su Zu had no way to go to the stadium to watch Yang Guangzong’s game because he needed to warm up before the game and wait for the inspection, but he learned that The news that he has advanced to the second round semi-final is really happy for him.
In Su Zu’s memory, there are still Su Bingtian and Zhang Peimeng in the men’s 1200-meter event, but in the 400-meter event, Chinese athletes can run into the second round of the Olympic Games. Yang Guangzong was the first.
Zhang Peimeng, who was warming up on the runway next to him, was shocked when he heard the news of Yang Guangzong’s promotion. His current 200-meter performance is actually similar to that of Yang Guangzong at the Athens Olympics. He is also a 200-meter athlete, and he has run 400 meters before, so he knows how difficult it is.
There is a growth pattern among sprinters. Basically, with age, people will only run shorter and shorter, and swim shorter. For example, Zhang Lin and Sun Yang, who swam in later generations, originally swam long distances, focusing on 1,500 meters, but later they swam shorter and shorter, 200 meters and 400 meters. The same is true in the track and field world. Koji Ito originally ran the 400 meters, and then switched to the 100 meters.
Yang Guangzong was born in 1981. By the time of this year’s Olympic Games, he will be 28 years old, and he has been focusing on the 200 meters and 100 meters before. From these two events to 400 meters, it takes a lot of effort. The efforts can be imagined.
At 10:05 am, the men’s 200m preliminaries officially started.
A total of 65 players participated in the preliminaries, and they were divided into eight preliminaries. The fifth group of the preliminaries was composed of 9 players, and the other groups were composed of eight players.
Proceed to the next round, that is, the rematch rules starting at 20:05 tonight are also similar to the previous games. The top three in each group are directly promoted, and then add the scores of the remaining players. The best top eight, a total of 32 players, entered the next round of rematch.
Suzu was the third in the third preliminaries group. The opponents in the same group included veteran British sprinter Marlon Devinesh, St. Kitts and Nevis’ Kim Collins and Jamaica’s horse Vin Anderson and others.
In this morning’s game, at least half of the audience in the Bird’s Nest Stadium focused on Su Zu. Especially after he won the men’s 100-meter Olympic gold medal the day before yesterday, he pushed this momentum to the extreme. The facial close-up time on the big screen at the scene also far exceeded the other contestants.
In China, Su Zu’s popularity has reached its peak now, and almost every move is paid attention to by the people of the whole country.
After winning the heaviest men’s 100m gold medal, Su Zu’s mentality relaxed a lot. Even his entire subject group felt as if a big rock had fallen to the ground. During the warm-up before the game, Li Zhizhong basically just watched from a distance.
With a gold medal as a base, in the next game, no matter how Su Zu performed, there was basically no problem.
But the audience’s support for him is as always, as long as you walk on the field and stand on the track, everyone will give you applause. And everyone would love to see Su Zu win his second gold medal.
After the gunshots rang out, Su Zu took the lead in rushing out of the starting line, and the preliminaries of 65 and 32 were basically not a big problem for him. Zu basically ran to the first position, and crossed the finish line with ease in the tidal wave of applause from the scene.
20 seconds 32!
The first group in the third group of the preliminaries.
There is no accident of poor performance. The Athens Olympic men’s 200m silver medalist and the two-time world champion have no suspense in running a preliminaries.
But the audience is still very happy, as long as the one who wins the game is a Chinese, whether it is the group stage or the final, everyone will be honored. In their own country, in their own stadium, they can celebrate and scream wantonly, let the world hear their enthusiasm and voice!
Su Zu, who finished the match, did not leave the arena. Instead, he found a place in the stands next to the stadium and continued to follow the game.
After him, there is Zhang Peimeng’s 200-meter preliminaries, and the men’s 110-meter hurdles preliminaries that start at 11:00.
To a certain extent, Su Zu has changed the pattern of Chinese track and field, and he is eager to know whether the schedule of some competitions will be consistent with the previous trend.
At 10:45 am, Zhang Peimeng played in the eighth group of the men’s 200m preliminaries.
From training with Su Zu a few days ago to the time of warm-up, Zhang Peimeng, who was in a good state of mind, suddenly lost in this group of preliminaries and failed to fully play Out of the level, ranked seventh in the group with a score of 21.06 seconds.
Su Zu became nervous in an instant.
Although he also knew that if Zhang Peimeng played with the best results, he might stop in the second round of the semi-finals, but when he really saw him being eliminated, his heart was instantly raised stand up.
Su Zu realized at this time that although he can say that he bears the greatest pressure among all athletes. But in a venue like the Olympics, it is also a huge challenge for other athletes.
Zhang Peimeng has experienced two World Championships and the Magic Capital Grand Prix. He is not without experience in international competitions, but he still cannot fully perform.
At 11:10, the men’s 110-meter hurdles preliminaries will be held soon, and Liu Yangyu is going to play!
