Run Out of My Life

This National Athletics Championships is also an Olympic Trial. The schedule is similar to the one Su Zu participated in before. The three-day event schedule is all morning and evening.

The one related to Su Zu is the men's 1200m biathlon. The first day of the trials was the 100m preliminaries in the morning and the 100m finals in the evening. The 200 meters are the preliminaries on the second night and the finals on the morning of the third day.

Perhaps because of the Olympics, the audience for the National Track and Field Championships this time was much larger than the previous championships.

Shizhuang Yutong Stadium, a stadium invested and aided by Hong Kong tycoon Zheng Yutong, has a stand of 38,000 people, and even more than one-third of the attendance.

Because it is the Olympic selection, the requirements for participation are much higher. The preliminaries of the men's and women's 100 meters are all 20 people. There are three preliminaries in total. 2 made it to the finals.

The situation of the 200 meters on the second day of the competition was similar. There were more than 20 people in the preliminaries.

At 9:30 am, the men's 100m preliminaries started.

Su Zu was placed in the second track of the second group in the preliminaries. In the same group, he did not meet Chen Jian and Shen Yunbao, but some old faces from last year's tournament like Gu Kai, Liu Dapeng and others appeared.

Su Zu ran very easily in the preliminaries, 10 seconds 28, basically a closed run, and started to run after 80 or 90 meters.

With his current strength, when most of the 100-meter athletes in China are still swaying around 10.40 seconds, this result won't be difficult to qualify for the final.

Similarly, Chen Jian did not put much effort in the first group of the preliminaries, and advanced to the final with a score of 10.39 seconds.

In the preliminaries this time, Shen Yunbao was in a rather brave state. He almost ran with all his might and won the first place in the preliminaries with a time of 10.26 seconds.

“The individual strength of the U.S. team is really outstanding. In the last relay race in Sydney, the six relay race members of the U.S. team, Ato Jabari Bolden, Bernard Williams, Mo Rhys Green, these people are all within 10 seconds, but their relay coordination is not that proficient, it is purely based on their sprinting strength."

"Alas, Master Jiang, you understand this very clearly, you have caught up with our coach."

"That is, how many years have I been in the track and field team, and which materials I haven't read, this is relay training, the strength is not enough technically, like our several Asian Games, the sprint of the Thai team The strength is not strong, but the tacit understanding of the relay race is terrifyingly high, and when the baton is handed over, it is maintained at the highest speed, you guys, you have to hurry up and practice."

In the lounge after the game, Su Zu and Chen Jian were lying on two massage chairs. The chief masseur of the track and field team, Jiang Daheng, was giving them a muscle stretching massage after the game. Since preparing for the Olympic Games Since then, under the condition of training and competition, important members of the national team will have masseuses to relax and stretch their muscles before and after the game to prevent athletes from getting injured and in a state.

At this time, Su Zu, Chen Jianzheng and Jiang Daheng were chatting nonchalantly, chatting about the members of the American men's 4×100-meter relay race at the last Olympic Games.

"Master Jiang, Su Zu, Chen Jian." While several people were talking, Shen Yunbao came in from outside.

"Brother Shen, where did you just go?" Chen Jian lay on the massage chair, tilted his head and asked, "It's just after the game, you have to do muscle relaxation."

"Just take a walk and relax."

Although Shen Yunbao ran 10.26 in the preliminaries just now, the first place in the preliminaries, and also the top two or three in his career, there is no joy on his face at this time, but a solemn expression , with a bit of anxiety.

"In a bad mood?"

"That...I have something to tell you both."

Shen Yunbao hesitantly said, then glanced at Jiang Daheng who was giving Su Zu a muscle stretching massage, a little hesitant to say anything.

"What?" Jiang Daheng raised his head and saw Shen Yunbao's eyes. He felt relieved. He straightened up and smiled and glanced at a few people.

"Forget it, no need, Master Jiang." Shen Yunbao hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, "It's not a shame."

Speaking, Shen Yunbao walked up to Su Zu and Chen Jian lying on the massage chair, and kicked gently with his feet, "I saw it in the preliminaries, you didn't run seriously. The finals, you two don't keep it for me.

I really want to win this national championship. I got my heart, but, as you all know, I want to run an Olympic A-level result. "

Chen Jian glanced at Su Zu, then at Shen Yunbao, and laughed, "Hey, Brother Shen, I don't understand what you are saying."

Mi, I just want to run the A mark. In addition to the relay race, I also want to participate in the individual events of the Olympic Games. Without the pressure from the two of you, I'm afraid I don't have much hope."

After finishing speaking, Shen Yunbao didn't wait for Su Zu and Chen Jian to answer, turned his head and left the lounge.

"Hey, I said, you two are going to let Shen Yunbao win the championship. It's interesting, I heard that he will retire next year." Jiang Daheng watched Shen Yunbao leave, He whispered in the ears of the two with a smile.

"Master Jiang, don't joke around, it's inappropriate to be heard." Su Zu looked at Jiang Daheng as if he knew the inside information of your track and field team, and waved his hand.

In fact, in this trial, the men's 100m two people just came to go through the motions. They already had the A mark in their hands. The coaches and the team didn't make any requirements. Ruthless and easily injured.

Su Zu and Chen Jian also discussed it privately, but they were not quite sure about it. Everyone is a professional athlete, and sportsmanship must be there.

In terms of competitive sports, Su Zu and Chen Jianben want to win all the games. But as a teammate, it is not easy for an athlete to win a few more championships, no matter whether he retires and enters the sports departments at all levels in the province or city, or finds other jobs, it is somewhat useful.

"What do you think?" Chen Jian asked, leaning on the massage chair, tilting his head.

"Then test the effect of our recent relay team training." Su Zu replied with a smile.

Athletes want to play their highest level, in addition to their own strength, the opponents in the same group are also a very important factor. Competing with high-level athletes who are stronger than their own strength, as long as they can stabilize their rhythm and not be led away, they can often spark sparks and run better.

…

At 18:30, Yutong Stadium.

On the track and field track, just after competing for the top eight in the women's 100m, the eight men's 100m finalists were already standing on the starting line.

Su Zu bounced twice on the spot, gradually adjusting his body to the best condition. He was the second place in the preliminaries and was in the fifth runway. The fourth place on his left was Shen Yunbao, and Chen Jian was in the second place. He put more than Su Zu in the preliminaries.

"Everywhere—"

The familiar starter slogan sounded.

Su Zu leaned over and lowered his head, with his feet on the starting block, all distracting thoughts were eliminated from his mind in an instant.

In addition to their own technical level, strength and talent, sprinters also have a very important ability, which is concentration.

People's emotional ups and downs can easily affect the state of athletes, especially in sprinting competitions, a little emotional ups and downs may affect the lack of concentration.

At the moment of entering the game, I can suppress all the pre-match excitement, depression, anxiety and other emotions, and my mind is as calm as a calm lake , turbulent.

"Ready!"

"Pop!"

The starting gun sounds and the game begins!

In an instant, eight athletes rushed out from the starting line at the same time. Although Su Zu did not press the gun, but a lot of starting training and adding a little reaction quality still had a certain effect, basically not much behind Chen Jian and Shen Yunbao.

Fast cadence, strong stride, and Su Zu was already in the first place as soon as he reached the forty meters. His new rhythm running method, with the gradual maturity of training and competition, combined with the rapid pace after adding agility points, the speed has gradually increased in the first half of the large stride acceleration.

After waiting forty or fifty meters, Su Zu was basically in a state of perfection, and the gap with the people next to him gradually widened, even Chen Jian, who could bite him the most tightly , In this group of finals, he was also thrown away by several positions.

Beside Chen Jian, Shen Yunbao had blue veins on his forehead, almost trying his best to chase the two. There is not much difference between him and Chen Jian, only less than half the size, the audience next to him seems to be almost neck and neck.

Once Su Zu entered the competition state, he would go all out at this time and be fully committed.

After surpassing all the competitors in the same group, the only sight is the finish line.

Cross the line!

10 seconds 02!

On the race timing board next to the finish line, Su Zu's first place finish in the final has come out.

"10 seconds 02, the first place in the men's 100m final, Su Zu, just broke his own national record of 10 seconds 09, and once again created a new domestic men's sprint history."

Seeing this achievement, the host of the conference also rang excitedly.

"Missing 10 seconds?!"

Su Zu took a few deep breaths with his arms crossed, turned around and looked at the results on the clock, feeling a little regretful. He has already run to 9.7 seconds in training, but this final is still a little short.

In the final of this group just now, he feels that he has basically run very well, but it may be because of the lack of strong competition in the middle and late stages, even if he has been maintaining high speed, but invisible Among them, he still failed to reach his limit state.

"Suzu, come on!"

"Suzu, great!"

But at this time, the audience on both sides of the court shouted loudly, and the media cameras began to take pictures with almost no money.

It's a pity not to make the 10-second mark, but to see Su Zu breaking his men's 100m record again, this time the fare is worth it. In an Olympic year, a sports front page news also has it.

Su Zu smiled and stretched out his hand and beckoned to the audience on the sidelines. His mood quickly adjusted. Although he didn't make it for 10 seconds, it was always a matter of being able to take the first place and set his own record. happy thing.

However, this joy did not last long, and the broadcast of the conference began to announce the results of each stage.

“…the third channel Chen Jian, 10 seconds 20; the fourth channel Shen Yunbao, 10 seconds 23…”

Almost at the moment when the results were broadcast, Su Zu saw Shen Yunbao, who was leaning on his knees and panting violently, sat on the ground, lying on his back on the track.

The men's 100m A mark in the 2004 Athens Olympic Games was 10.21 seconds, and Shen Yunbao was only 0.02 seconds away from qualifying for the A mark.
