Run Out of My Life

"... Later, someone asked me, how can I become a good sports reporter? This question is actually a bit big, I can only talk about it from my personal point of view. In the initial stage, I was completely ignorant of the idea of ​​​​living. Going to Europe, well, I'm a fan [laughs]. Until a sprint race changed me, you can't imagine how I felt when I saw the runners flying across the finish line...the passion, the shudder..."

…

September 13th morning.

On the third day of the National Athletics Championships, the various events of the field competition are being carried out in a tense and orderly manner.

The track race this morning started at 9:00 am with the men's decathlon 100m, followed by the women's 5000m final. 9:40 and 9:50 are the women's 800m preliminaries and the men's 800m preliminaries. 10:20 is the women's 200m final, and 10:30 is the men's 200m final. After that, there will be the men's and women's 4X400m relay preliminaries.

When Su Zu stepped on the track and field, he found that there seemed to be more spectators today than yesterday. It may also be because of the weekend. Although the overall seating has not filled the auditorium on the side of the runway, the crowded figures and some small flags and other things are obviously a lot more than the previous two days.

Besides, I don't know if it's a mishearing or a psychological effect, it seems that the cheers are a bit louder, and someone can vaguely hear his name.

"The new national 100m record holder, I'll have to be merciful later." Before he got on the track, Yang Guangzong said with a smile beside Su Zu.

"That won't work, I have to work hard. You already have the Olympic A mark in hand, it's time to give our young people a chance to make a difference." Su Zu shook his head and smiled.

"Alas, the back waves of the Yangtze River beat the front waves, you are going to beat me and Chen Jian to death in front."

Yang Guangzong has a more cheerful personality than Chen Jian, and likes to make jokes. He is a competitor on the field, but he actually has a good relationship off the field.

Because the sprint team has fewer personnel, more emphasis on individual performance, and each has its own coach in charge, the phenomenon of athletes ranking in terms of seniority is not to say, but compared to some ball sports I don't know how much better.

In last year's Asian Games, Yang Guangzong achieved a personal best of 20.58 seconds and won the bronze medal in the third place in the 200 meters.

And he is also the 200-meter champion of the 1999 National Track and Field Championships, and the 200-meter champion of the 2002 National Track and Field Championships and Grand Prix Finals. I have an idea for the 2003 All-Championship Championship, but I don't think I have to run with all my life.

In the 200-meter final of this championship, Yang Guangzong's head coach Liu Renjia had a request before the game that he must win the championship. However, Yang Guangzong was noncommittal about this. At this stage, in the domestic 200-meter arena, when it is still difficult for most athletes to break the 21-second mark, he is almost in a situation of crushing players from all walks of life. Su Zu's strength in the 200 meters is good, but in general he also knows that Su Zu's cornering skills are still a bit poor and need to be improved.

And, to be honest, his eyes have begun not only to focus on the country, but on the major international arenas. It can be said that Shengo's performance at the World Championships at the end of the series stimulated him severely.

Su Zu and Yang Guangzong participated in the men's 200-meter final which started at 10:30. Su Zu ran well in the 200-meter preliminaries yesterday and won in 20.99 seconds first in the group. The other seven players, including Yang Guangzong, entered the final with a score of 21 seconds away.

"By the way, Brother Yang, are there any masters in the Asian Championships?" Su Zu asked, remembering the Asian Athletics Championships that will be held in the Philippines in a few days.

Having a 100m championship and a national record, Su Zu is also more relaxed about the 200m. He didn't sign up for the 200m at first. Like Chen Jian, he has a 150m In the future, there is a lack of skills in the corners and corners. This time, the Ronghai provincial team forced him to add it.

"Let's continue with Shingo, he ran 20.03 seconds at the Japanese Athletics Championships in June this year, setting a new Asian record. He also took 20.38 seconds at the World Championships in August. In third place. This is the first World Championship medal won by an Asian athlete in the men's track and field sprint event."

Talking about this, Yang Guangzong's spirit is a little dazed, he and Suzu Shenwu have always been competing, but since 2002, Su Shenwu broke out one after another, and this year has refreshed 200 meters Asian record.

"But I don't think he will participate in the Asian Championships. Now he should also be participating in the Athletics Federation's Golden League in Europe. Apart from him, other Japanese players Koji Ito and Asahara Xuanji are estimated to be Retired, I didn't hear how the state was, or it was a newcomer who came."

Su Zu nodded after hearing this. Indeed, many names were relatively unfamiliar. Compared with Yang Guangzong, the "big brother", he still stayed at the stage outside the door.

Not sure.

Not only him, but Li Zhizhong has been doing his homework since he entered the national team. After all, he just came from the local team, and many sprinters in Asia know very little.

Like Suzu Shengo may not be famous in later generations, but in the 2000s he was indeed the top sprinter in Asia, comparable to some European and American runners. The Asian 200-meter record set was not broken until more than ten years later by Qatari naturalized athlete Ogunod.

It's not to say that this is a rare player in Japan who can still create good results when going abroad.

"Apart from these people, what other strong players are there?"

Hearing that Suzu Shenwu might not participate in the Asian Championships on September 20, Su Zu felt a little pity, and then asked Yang Guangzong that he had participated in the Asian Games and other Asian Games There is still a lot of familiar information about the sports meeting.

"Other experts, Kuwait's Faouzi, and Saudi Arabia's Al Bissi, you have never heard of these, you want to see the Asian Championships understood."

While the two were talking, the women's 200-meter final was over. The staff on the sidelines cleaned the track and adjusted the equipment. The men's 200-meter athletes came on the court.

Su Zu is in the fourth lane, Yang Guangzong is in the fifth lane, both of them are the first or second place in the preliminaries. As a matter of fact, for the competent players, generally, except for the preliminaries that will be arranged a little bit worse, basically after the preliminaries, they can get a good pass in the finals.

When the contestant was ready, the starting gun snapped.

This time, Su Zu did not choose the same gun-pressing tactics as in the 100-meter finals. Although he has benefited greatly from success in this regard, he still lacks enough training and wants to press the gun steadily. Still more difficult.

This tactic is not a certainty, or you need to fight for the championship, and it will not be the first choice.

However, his starting speed is still good this time. After a few games, I gradually found the feeling of playing a few months ago.

His current running method is the acceleration phase of the 200-meter curve, try not to be dropped too much, especially when the curve enters the straight, the arc is the largest and the most test of the player's skills.

When a good 200-meter athlete enters the straight from this corner, not only can he keep sprinting to keep his speed from slowing down, but he can even accelerate to a certain extent, so as to widen the distance from other runners.

Although Su Zu's concentration is far lower than 100 meters in this 200-meter competition, once the athletes step on the field, they will naturally and unconsciously compete for victory mind.

No one wants to lose when they can win.

The eight runners ran very fast. At this stage when the corner entered the straight, Yang Guangzong had already achieved a certain advantage with his excellent 200-meter technology, but there was still a short one in front of him. A tall athlete, Shen Yunbao.

Shen Yunbao's 100 meters is not weak. He has also trained for many years and is very technical in the first half of the 200 meters. He can even run against Yang Guangzong at this stage.

But after passing the corner and entering the straight stage, he was gradually caught up by Yang Guangzong. After all, the special 200-meter athletes are powerful in the second half.

At the same time, after the first few athletes had entered the straight, Su Zu also completed the final stage of the curve and started to run the 100-meter final straight.

Su Zu ran 200 meters in the corner stage, several coaches have given evaluation, he is almost 0.3 seconds behind other athletes in the corner.

This time, with the improvement of his overall strength, he is not as far behind as before, at most between 0.15-0.2 seconds. After entering the straight, the pace suddenly increased.

When approaching 150 meters, he had caught up with Shen Yunbao and another athlete, and at the stage of about 180 meters, he was almost on par with Yang Guangzong.

190m, 195m...Cross the line!

After running across the finish line, Su Zu subconsciously glanced at the clock beside him.

20 ​​seconds 91.

However, the gold content of this champion is much lower than his 100-meter national record, not to mention that the national 200-meter record at this time is 20 seconds 54 so far, even Yang Guangzong The state of the trip is also very general, ranking second with a score of 20.93 seconds.

However, no matter how you say it, you win.

Another champion.

Su Zu trotted and slowed down, watching the audience on both sides start cheering for him, someone was calling his name, he was no longer that unknown.

Where is your next stop?

Asian Athletics Championships, Manila, Philippines.
