Run Out of My Life

"Old Shen's luck is too bad. If you need to run for another 0.02 seconds, the A mark of 100 meters will be in hand."

On the evening of May 22, in a sub-venue for inspection outside the main track and field venue of Yutong Stadium, Yang Guangzong looked at Shen Yunbao who was busy doing warm-up exercises and sighed.

"Let's see if Brother Shen has a chance to run to the 200m A mark."

Su Zu swung his arms quickly, did a dozen high-leg running movements in the same place, and stretched his body slightly, just like Yang Guangzong, watching the warm-up on the field Shen Yunbao.

"Old Shen is in great shape this year, it can be said to be the best year of the year. If it is in time for the Sydney Olympics, he can properly reach the A of the 100m and 200m. But now the standard is too high. I have also passed the qualification a few times, and there are only a few talents in Asia who can reach the A standard.”

Yang Guangzong shook his head, he was not too optimistic about whether Shen Yunbao could run 200 meters tonight, but looked at Su Zu with a burning gaze, "You have a chance, when we run the relay , your first and third tracks are fast enough, and the cornering technology has improved a lot. Running 200 meters depends on the corners and the back. Last year, you beat me once. Right. According to the 10-second record you just broke yesterday, is there a chance to make it to 20 seconds?"

"

"Yes, then I won't let you water." Yang Guangzong also smiled.

Although Su Zu is the youngest in the first team, since he entered the national track and field team, his performance has jumped up too fast in the past two years, from the previous year's Grand Prix to last year's The National Championships and the following Asian Championships City Games, the 60-meter indoor world championship champion, and the national 100-meter new record race after race, has now entered the ranks of the world's top sprinters.

Even if Su Zu rarely ran 200 meters, Yang Guangzong would not think that Su Zu’s level was poor. In the past, it was mainly because his cornering skills were not good enough, and the focus of training was mainly on the 100 meters .

Since the winter training last year, Su Zu has focused on the cornering training. By this year's relay race, the strength shown is not the same as the past.

Yang Guangzong believes that if he can show the state of running the Asian Games, he may be able to run with Su Zu, but the words of water release can only be a joke in private. He had a bit of a feeling of how Chen Jian looked at Su Zu back then.

"Hey, have you two warmed up enough?"

Shen Yunbao, who had already warmed up, his chest and abdomen rose and his breath was a little short, watching the two chatting, and interrupted immediately.

"It's almost there." Yang Guangzong watched Shen Yunbao come back and twisted his waist, moving his wrists and ankles.

"Don't be negligent, go and run down." Shen Yunbao shouted again at the two of them.

"Ok, I'll listen to you."

Su Zu and Yang Guangzong watched Shen Yunbao recover, they grinned and snickered for a while, and then jogged directly along the several runways of the sub-venue .

Shen Yunbao looked at the two and shook his head. He failed to run the 100m Olympic A mark last night. He was disappointed, but he started sprinting in his teens. This kind of competition, big or small, is no longer in its infancy, and it has been possible to adjust the mentality in one day.

The first and second in the domestic 200-meter level must be Suzu Yang Guangzong, and the third is Chen Jian who had a 200-meter Achilles tendon strain before, and basically gave up, and it was almost him.

He has been in good enough form this year, and he has also won the championship of the National Athletics Grand Prix Finals. This is what he can achieve personally.

The A mark of 100 meters was not reached, and the A mark of 200 meters was not to be thought about, and I did my best. At least there are relay races, and he can still participate in this Olympics, which is much luckier than many of his predecessors.

At 19:10 in the evening, the men's 200m preliminaries started.

Su Zu was placed in the third group and fourth place in the preliminaries, Yang Guangzong and Shen Yunbao were both in the second group of preliminaries just finished. In addition to He Jun, who had practiced relay races together, there was another player in Su Zu's preliminaries that caught Su Zu's attention.

Xu Zhiyu, the runner-up in the men's 400m at the Eighth National Games in 1997 and the champion in the men's 400m at the 2001 East Asian Games, broke the national record with a time of 45.25 seconds. 2001 Men's 200m, 400m and 4x400m relay champion in the 9th National Games.

It can be said that in the current domestic men's sprint 400m event, Xu Zhiyu is the first person.

The 400m is the most difficult run in the men's sprint event, and it has high requirements on the athletes' physiology, special skills, physical fitness, and physical distribution. Physiologically, in the whole exercise process, anaerobic accounts for a large proportion, and aerobic accounts for a small proportion, so this is a mixed-oxygen sprinting event. In terms of special technology, 400 meters and 200 meters are technically common to a certain extent, but 400 meters have one more curve and one straight. Due to the long distance, the adjustment of physical strength distribution and rhythm has become the key.

Athletes who can run 400 meters will definitely have no problem running 200 meters. If the special speed is high enough, the 400-meter athletes have sufficient speed endurance and back-range ability, which can often be better than the 100-meter athletes. Outstanding performance.

Michael Johnson won the 200-meter gold medal at the Atlanta Olympics in 1996 with a world record of 19.32 seconds, and is also the 400-meter gold medalist at this Olympics. And three years later, at the 1999 World Athletics Championships in Seville, Spain, Michael Johnson set a world record with a time of 43.18.

The men's 400m A mark at the Athens Olympic Games was 45.55. Xu Zhiyu set a best time of 45.25 in the 2001 East Asian Games, but since 2002, the 400-meter performance has He has never been able to run into the Olympic A standard of 45.55 seconds.

Let's take the second place, and he also signed up for the 200 meters in this trial, hoping to run an Olympic A standard in the 200 meters and 400 meters.

This is the Olympic Games, and this is the Olympic Trials. Some athletes of strength will try their best to show their best performance in order to seek breakthroughs and qualify for the competition. The Olympic Games, the top competitive arena, as long as you are an athlete, you will dream of standing on the biggest stage to compete.

…

"Place..."

Before the 200-meter starting line, the starter sounded with a strong emphasis.

Su Zu felt slightly wrong when his feet landed on the starting block. When he was just debugging, he found that the starting block was a little loose when adjusting the position. He slightly dragged the distance down a gear. , it feels like there should be a tight grip.

It was a preliminaries after all, so I didn't care too much for a while. But when my feet landed on it, I found that the starting block seemed to be unstable. I was just about to give feedback to the referee, and the sound of "preparation" had already sounded.

"Pop!"

After the gunshot, Su Zu changed from leaning down and bowing his head to the starting position, but when he ran together, he found that his right foot slipped a little when he stepped on the starter, and his body stumbled slightly.

Because the runners of the 200-meter start in each track are not on the same starting line, the audience on and off the field just saw Su Zu's starting movement with a slight deviation of his body, and he felt that the starting was not very good. But there is no specific problem.

The athlete in the third lane on the left almost caught up at this moment, almost on the same level as Su Zu. You know, 200 meters, because of the distance of the curve, each pass has a distance of two or three meters.

how big.

Li Zhizhong, Chen Jian, and others who were onlookers raised their hearts almost instantly. Originally, with Su Zu's current sprinting strength, it was easy to run 200 meters, and the A mark was not a big deal. But this time it made me nervous.

Affected by this instant starting action, Su Zu knew that this start was terrible, but at the beginning of the race, it was naturally impossible to retire, so he hurriedly adjusted his center of gravity and started to keep up.

It may be due to the relatively high agility and reaction qualities, coupled with sufficient training, Su Zu's ability to control his body far exceeds that of ordinary athletes.

First step, second step, third step…

Without the pedaling power of the starting block, the acceleration of the first few steps is naturally not that fast.

But as soon as the three steps passed, Su Zu gradually found the rhythm, and controlled the different amplitudes of his left and right arms swinging.

At this time, the audience also noticed that the curve is not on a horizontal line, and it is not easy to see who is faster and who is slower, but the second and third tracks have caught up with Su Zu, so naturally they can also In comparison, Su Zu was slow.

But soon, everyone found that Su Zu had stabilized and started to accelerate again.

Right now, the corner turns straight.

Athletes in the first, second, third, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth stages have all entered the straight stage, and Xu Zhiyu, who has excellent ability in the second half, has already run two three meters away.

But Su Zu just crossed the corner.

At this time, many spectators stood up, Li Zhizhong and Chen Jian who were watching, as well as Yang Guangzong and Shen Yunbao and others who had finished running, all fell down and surrounded the track and field. on the baffle.

The whole track and field suddenly sounded an exclamation of "Ooooo".

On the straight runway, Su Zu, who had already fallen several meters behind, went faster and faster after entering the straight runway.

From the last distance pulled away by people, and then start to surpass one by one.

Fast cadence, strong swing arms, on the straight track, there are seven or eight players on both sides of the contrast, the impact is particularly strong.

"Come on, come on!"

"Suzu, come on!"

Countless cheers burst out from the audience!

In this kind of national competition of strength, it is rare for the backward players to surpass other players one after another from the last place. The athletes who can participate in the trials are not weak, but their absolute strength level exceeds that of others. Cut, to be able to see such an amazing scene.

Sixty meters, fifty meters, forty meters…

The finish line is getting closer.

At the last ten meters, only Xu Zhiyu, a strong player in the second half, was left in front of Su Zu, and the others inevitably slowed down in the second half of the 200 meters. Surpassed by Su Zu one by one.

Cross the line!

20 ​​seconds 86!

When Su Zu crossed the finish line, he ran for 10 or 20 meters and stopped, and countless applause sounded like thunder.

It was amazing!

Xu Zhiyu 20 seconds 87!

Su Zu's first win in the preliminaries is too thrilling! It's just a slight advantage of half a body!

At the same time, Li Zhizhong and Chen Jian Shen Yunbao breathed a sigh of relief.

Although I didn't run out of the Olympic A target this time, I finally won the first place in this group.

As long as you can make it to the finals, you still have a chance.
