Run Out of My Life

"This... there are not many people participating."

On the morning of March 9th, outside the Wiener Stadthaler Indoor Stadium in Vienna, Su Zu looked at the athletes from all over the world waiting to enter the stadium, and unexpectedly found that there were not many people, only There are only a few teams that are far inferior to the scale of domestic indoor track and field competitions.

"Don't look at the small number of people, but the IAAF's evaluation level is still high." Lu Jianming seems to have taken a two-day rest, his biological clock is fully adapted, and he gradually begins to get up. Stand next to Su Zu and explain to him.

The IAAF has ten levels for various competitions.

The International Indoor Athletics Competition in Vienna is an IAAF Indoor Chartered Competition in name, which is the fifth level. In terms of the level of track and field events, it is already at the same level as the Asian Games, the All-African Games, the Commonwealth Games, and the Universiade.

Of course, this mainly refers to the division of the IAAF for track and field events. In terms of actual influence and competition scale, it is actually far inferior.

"The athletes who came today are even less than the indoor competition in Linz. The athletes in the indoor competition in Linz are more casual. Some of them are participating in the World Indoor Championships to warm up, but this one ..." Lu Jianming pointed to the gate of the Werner Stataler Indoor Gymnasium, "If you want to participate in the competition, you must be in the name of the national team, like some powerful countries in track and field, you can't look down on it."

Although the international indoor competition in Vienna is not low in level, the number of countries attracted to participate is actually limited. Except for the host country players, only from China, Slovenia, Slovakia, Hungary, Australia and Canada. player.

The traditional track and field powers Britain, France, the United States, Germany and Russia, as well as some countries in West Africa and Central and South America have not appeared in the competition list.

"If you can beat Linz's indoor result, you have a chance this time."

Lu Jianming patted Su Zu on the shoulder, and he was a little regretful that he failed to win the championship in Linz the day before yesterday, but the top two players at that time, although not well-known, learned later , one is from the United Kingdom and the other is from Nigeria. Both are black players of West African or West African descent. They are born with a sprint advantage in this regard, and they are also the number one players to participate in the World Indoor Athletics Championships, which will open on March 14.

As the athletes gradually entered the stadium, the Wiener Stadthaler Indoor Stadium gradually became lively. In addition to the athletes coming to the competition today, it also attracted many local residents and foreigners in Vienna. Tourists, come here to cheer on the teams.

The competition was only held for one day, with a total of 24 men’s and women’s events, and the Chinese team participated in 12 of them.

Men's 60m, Men's 60m Hurdles, Men's 200m, Men's Triple Jump, Men's High Jump, Men's Long Jump, and Women's Pole Vault, Women's High Jump, Women's Triple Jump, Women's Long Jump, Women's 60m hurdles, and women's shot put.

In the men's 60m event, the main contestants were Su Zu, Chen Jian, and Shen Yunbao, who had just arrived from China. The 200-meter hurdle is Yang Guangzong, and the 60-meter hurdle is naturally Liu Yangyu's strength.

Local time, at 9:30 am, the men's 60-meter sprint runners will be called for inspection.

Su Zu and all the contestants who participated in the preliminaries have already started to warm up half an hour earlier. International large-scale track and field formal competitions have stricter procedures in all aspects. Even though the number of players from different countries is relatively small this time, after all, the level is there, and all aspects follow the process of the procedure.

Su Zu's previous domestic competitions were relatively less strict in this regard. After the warm-up, each athlete was summoned by the host staff for the first inspection, followed by a roll call, and the referee checked the athlete's belongings. After these procedures, it goes to the second examination room, where the athlete saves the urine sample, warms up, goes to the toilet, etc.

At 10:00 in the morning, the men's 60-meter sprint preliminaries officially started. There were only 6 groups of people in this preliminaries, and a total of 46 athletes participated.

Su Zu was in the third group of the preliminaries, Chen Jian, who also participated together, was in the first group, and Shen Yunbao was in the fourth group.

The preliminaries were very fast, and the 6 preliminaries were finished in less than ten minutes. Because there were no particularly strong players, Su Zu steadily won the men's 60 meters with a score of 6.63 seconds. Second place in the indoor preliminaries.

Unexpectedly, Chen Jian seems to have problems adapting to his body after arriving in Europe. He has never been able to run out of the domestic level, and finally finished ninth in the preliminaries with 6.76 seconds. Unfortunately, Missed the afternoon final.

On the contrary, Shen Yunbao, who just came from China, ran out of 6.74 seconds and entered the final with the fifth place in the preliminaries when the time difference was completely reversed.

…

"It's up to you. Liu Yangyu has already advanced to the 60-meter hurdles final with the first result in the preliminaries. It is not a big problem for him to win the 60-meter hurdles championship, we at least have to win."

At 16:00 in the afternoon, before the men's 60m indoor competition final, Chen Jian looked at Su Zu and Shen Yunbao helplessly. He was supposed to be in good shape this year, but after arriving in Austria this time, he never The method adjusted to the best state, and did not enter the indoor finals twice in a row.

There is no way.

In the warm-up venue, Su Zu and Shen Yunbao both nodded together, and their expressions became solemn.

At noon, everyone learned that Liu Yangyu successfully entered the afternoon final in the 60-meter hurdles, and it was almost a record-breaking result, and the pressure on other players was not ordinary.

Everyone is a sprinter. In addition to the competition between teammates in this project, there are also competitions in projects and projects. With Liu Yangyu's men's 60-meter hurdles and 110-meter hurdles, the Asian Games gold medal, the world youth championship runner-up, the World Universiade champion, and the seeded players of the indoor world championships, they have successively achieved results in hurdles.

In the men's 60m and 100m, which are purely running, they are far behind the hurdles they get.

Always watching other people gain all kinds of honors in foreign competitions, while myself and others can only show their prestige in the country, it is a bit embarrassing to say this.

We all understand the difference in strength. But I don't want to take the championship and break the record like others, but at least make a breakthrough in this international event, so it won't be too ugly.

Su Zu was once amazed at Liu Yangyu's hurdling achievements, but after becoming a sprinter, he can understand the gold content even more. When a domestic sprinter couldn't even break the national 100-meter record, one person had already made a name for himself outside the domain one after another, adding honor and fame in the international arena.

, a heavy responsibility and pressure.

At 16:00 in the afternoon, the eight finalists of the 60-meter indoor competition waited for a while in the check-in area, and then a staff member came to press the name of the competition number and led everyone into the competition field.

As soon as they entered the venue, various incomprehensible shouts sounded in the venue. More enthusiastic, more unrestrained and more wanton than in the preliminaries!

Su Zu looked around at the shouting, all kinds of banners swayed, occasionally singing in unison, and calling out the name of a certain athlete in unison.

This is the host's audience cheering on the host's athletes. Naturally, these foreign players cannot enjoy this kind of treatment.

The venues for indoor competitions are not as wide as outdoor competitions, and the seats in the venues are only a few thousand people, but the local small venues are closed, and the cheering voices follow the beat of the host athlete, They gathered together, and at first it was just the shouts of a few people. Slowly, dozens, hundreds, or thousands of people shouted together. The sound was like thunder, and it rumbled and covered the entire venue.

Su Zu watched the performance of the host athlete without any unbalanced emotions. This is the privilege enjoyed by the host athlete, and it is also a moment of glory for the athlete.

This is the first time Su Zu has seen so many spectators shouting the name of an athlete at the same time, even if the athlete he hardly knows, maybe not famous internationally, but at this moment, there is no doubt that It is glorious and glorious.

"When thousands of people are shouting your name in an entire stadium, you know that your life has not been in vain."

Vienna, Austria, the Wiener Stadhaler Indoor Stadium, thousands of people cheered.

Even if these voices were not his own, Su Zu was still swaying and his blood was surging.

Choose a completely different life trajectory from the past, for what?

This is the answer!

One day, there will be so many audiences, more audiences than this, on the highest stage in the world, shouting my name together...
