Run Out of My Life

"Call-"

A huge sigh sounded.

At 19:30 on September 23rd, the last day of the 15th Asian Athletics Championships, the men's 4×400m relay final was being held at the Rizal Athletics Stadium.

The Chinese relay team did not sign up because there were no suitable 400-meter athletes. The men's 4×400-meter relay final was only for onlookers.

Just now on the field, among the eight teams participating in the 4×400m final, the Saudi Arabian relay team, which had already gained an advantage, suffered a muscle strain in the third round and dropped the stick. Just gave up the game.

Sri Lanka, Japan and Qatar, which were originally behind Saudi Arabia, surpassed the Saudi relay team and won the top three in the men's 4×400 meters.

All the spectators and athletes in the stadium sighed and applauded the Saudi players.

"Do another warm-up to get your body moving."

Yuan Guohua watched what happened to Saudi Arabia on the field, his heart tightened, and he turned to Su Zu, Chen Jian and others who were doing a smooth handover drill and instructed.

On the track and field arena, it is really changing, anything can happen.

After the men's 4x400m relay race, the women's 4x100m and men's 4x100m finals will begin immediately, which is also the final match of this conference.

At 19:45, the women's 4x100m final started.

Although the Chinese women's relay team in this Asian Championships is not weak, the four players are the second and fourth in the 100 meters and the second and sixth in the 200 meters.

However, in the face of tacit cooperation, the Thai team, which has created a national record, and the Japanese team with exquisite skills. In the women's 4x100m relay race, the Chinese team unfortunately won the bronze medal.

At 20:00, the men's 4x100m final of the Asian Championships finale began.

When the eight finalist teams appeared on the field, the entire Rizal Athletics Stadium suddenly boiled up. In the finals, in addition to the strong relays from various countries, the host Philippine relay team broke into the first time the final.

The sound of applause and cheers was mixed with the sound of various small horns and sand hammers. Small items such as hand flowers and small flags were constantly shaking and fluttering, and the whole stadium became a sea of ​​joy.

The eight finalist teams are arranged in order of sequence, namely:

Track 1, China HK Team

Track 2, Philippines

Third Road, Team India

Fourth, Thailand

Road 5, Team Japan

Road 6, Team China

Track 7, Sri Lanka

Track 8, Oman

Following the referee's instructions, Shen Yunbao, who was the first, made preparations at the starting point of the sixth lane.

Yang Guangzong, the second runner, Chen Jian, the third runner, and Su Zu, the fourth runner, all arrived at their respective relay areas and began to measure their steps.

Measurement points often appear in long jump and high jump competitions, mainly to determine the most advantageous distance and position of the athlete, and the same is true in relay competitions.

Athletes with three sticks in the back need to measure the distance in the relay area. There is a line. When their teammates run, they start to accelerate and start running. This needs to be calculated accurately, and it is also a long-term tacit cooperation. , with enough experience to be able to achieve the ultimate.

After measuring the step point, Su Zu started to move his body slightly in the relay area, raised his legs in place, jumped twice, kept his body heat and state, and waited nervously .

The fourth run has always been the most important run in the relay race. The quality of the first three runs will directly reflect the result in the fourth run.

This stick is to go straight to the finish line and decide the outcome.

This is the first time to participate in a relay race in an official large-scale competition since the school sports meeting two years ago.

Rizal Athletics Stadium, the oldest stadium in Asia, and he has come here step by step, the big stadium where everyone cheers starts the game.

Overlooking the entire stadium, on the 400-meter track, there are athletes at every node.

One, two or three sticks in front, due to the corners, different starting positions are different, but at the fourth stick where Su Zu is, the key area where the curve enters the straight, According to the arc of the final corner, all the athletes will stand close together.

"Relax, focus, and perform at your training level."

Su Zu took a light breath, and let it out slowly, calming down his slightly trembling mood.

The eyes crossed the field and stayed on the side of the first athlete.

"Onyourmarks." On the field, the starter's voice sounded.

The eight first runners of the relay race stepped onto the starting blocks one after another.

The place is quiet.

The most important game of this Asian Championship is about to start.

"Set."

In the sound of the international standard preparation password, the athlete changed from squatting to the starting position of hunched over.

"Pop!"

The starting gun sounds and the game begins!

Shen Yunbao shot out like a bullet at the moment the gun rang.

At this time, there is no need for any reservation, just use acceleration to accelerate and then accelerate, the fastest sprint.

"The sixth lane, the sixth lane, entered the relay area first!"

Yang Guangzong leaned over and maintained the starting position. After the gunshots of the game, he kept his head sideways and firmly paid attention to Shen Yunbao's position.

The moment Shen Yunbao stepped on the step point he had drawn, he started to accelerate.

"Take it!"

A voice suddenly sounded behind her.

Yang Guangzong stretched his left hand back, his palms were separated, the tiger's mouth was facing down, and with a click, the baton fell into his hand from bottom to top.

This is an extremely skilled move that has been practiced thousands of times. Yang Guangzong started to accelerate slightly in the first half, while Shen Yunbao's speed gradually slowed down in the second half, and the two have a height difference in all aspects. Can do the best first.

At the moment when his left hand grabbed the baton, Yang Guangzong took a big step and began to accelerate vigorously.

The second stick is the straight, you have to stand a little closer to the back of the relay area, and then you have to run a little longer in the process of handing over the stick when you give the third stick. In the 4×100 meter event, The distance that a competitor needs to run is the longest. The reason why Yang Guangzong is chosen is because he has a relatively sufficient back-end speed, maintains the speed in the long-distance high-speed running, can always be stable, and plays the role of linking the previous and the next.

With the advantage of the first and second sticks, Yang Guangzong was already ahead of several other teams when the second stick was handed over to Chen Jian.

The Thai team and the Japanese team, who followed the most closely, were also thrown a certain distance at this time.

After Chen Jian received Yang Guangzong's baton, his speed increased to the extreme, and the third baton required cornering skills and a player who was absolutely fast enough.

Although Chen Jian does not run 200 meters, his cornering skills are still good. Before his Achilles tendon injury, he had specially trained cornering skills.

And the third rod has the shortest running distance, about 80 or 90 meters, which is the distance that can perfectly reflect Chen Jian's speed.

"Lao Yuan, this champion has a show!"

Besides the arena, Yu Liwei cried out loudly after watching Yang Guangzong hand over the baton to Chen Jian with an advantage. At this time, the Chinese team has firmly gained the advantage.

Yuan Guohua's face was tense, his eyes were changing with the pace of each athlete, he didn't react at all to Yu Liwei's shout.

Li Zhizhong's eyes also followed Chen Jian's footsteps, a heart lifted in an instant, the distance of the third rod was very short, and the contestant ran for a few seconds in a blink of an eye, and it was coming soon The moment of handover with the fourth player.

The fourth player, Su Zu, was holding his breath at this time.

The moment Chen Jian started to run, Su Zu's whole state instantly rose.

The sound of fast and hurried footsteps has come, and Chen Jian's figure is getting closer and closer, and the expression that has become somewhat hideous because of running with all his strength is also continuously enlarged in the field of vision.

"Hur-"

"Suck—"

In the slender breathing, Su Zu has made the final preparations.

"Pop..." In the sound of footsteps that seemed to slow down in time, Su Zu's eyes suddenly turned around when Chen Jian ran to the step where he had drawn, and the muscle strength of the whole body began to release, and he started ,accelerate!

"1, 2, 3, 4..."

Su Zu silently recited the number of steps he ran, and when he accelerated to the fifth step, he heard the sound from behind.

"Take it!"

Su Zu was in the process of rapid acceleration, his right hand was facing back, the baton fell into his hand, and the five fingers tightly grasped the baton in his hand, he raised his head sharply, staring at The finish line ahead.

"Leave the rest to me!"

In an instant, Su Zu had an indescribable gushing emotion.

You run so perfectly ahead, then, how can I not do my best for the rest!

Go ahead!

Japan and Thailand, who were already slightly behind the Chinese team, suddenly found out that they were ahead of their opponents, faster!

The cheers and cheers from the sidelines shot into the sky and seemed to overturn the entire stadium.

"Come on! Suzu!"

“Chinese team, come on!”

The rapid footsteps drove the body like a sharp arrow, breaking the air, and in the sound of the wind, it seemed that someone was shouting.

The distance of 60 meters, the fastest Thai team and the Japanese team were pulled away by more than seven or eight meters.

Eighty meters, the distance is increasing.

90 meters, the fastest fourth player of the Thai team is already ten meters away.

Cross the line!

38 seconds 28!

"We won!"

Yu Liwei and Li Zhizhong, who were nervous at the side of the field, shouted at the same time. Behind them, there were many Chinese track and field athletes who had finished the competition. At this moment, they burst into fierce cheers.

"Championship, we are the champions! Lao Yuan, you have done a great job, the members of the relay team are doing great!"

Yu Liwei was almost incoherent, hugging the head coach of the relay team, Yuan Guohua, who was still beside him, and shouted with great excitement.

Yuan Guohua twitched his lips, his face full of shock and incredible expression.

"Not only the champion, we...we have broken the national record that has been dusty for eight years, surpassed the Asian Games record, and broke the Asian record!"

As the head coach of the relay team, the records of various relay events have been engraved in his mind as if engraved in his bones.

The best historical performance of the Chinese team is 38.81. The Asian Games record is 38.82 set by the Thai team in the 2002 Busan Asian Games. The Asian record is the Japanese team on August 9, 1997. Athens created 38 seconds 31.

And at this moment, we make a new history!
