Run Out of My Life

"Franciso Obekwelu, Ronald Berniewyn... Hiroyuki Tsuchie, Adrian Durant, Suzu, Nubuat Foday Fofana, pp. Players in the fifth group, please prepare to play!" The inspection broadcast sounded.

In the inspection room, an inspector in the uniform light blue uniform of the conference called the athletes in the fifth group of the preliminaries to check their identity information, and brought a group of athletes into the track and field.

It is the job of an inspector to bring athletes to the field on time and safely along a reasonable route.

Su Zu was placed in the fourth lane, which was very good in terms of lanes. In this group, except for him and Japan's Hirohiro Tujiang, almost all of them are black players.

Su Zu looked at the players in his group. Except for the Portuguese player Obikvelu, who had met in the 60-meter final of this year's indoor world championships, most of the other athletes were not familiar with it.

However, to be able to stand on the Olympic runway, these athletes basically have the top level of strength in their respective countries, at least they have run out of the Olympic A standard or B standard.

Especially the top sprinter Obikviru, Su Zu felt a little pressure when he saw the opponent and himself in a group match. Although he has won the opponent once in the 60-meter indoor competition in Budapest, it does not mean that he is really stronger than the opponent.

Top athletes are affected by state, environment, injuries, emotions, etc. It is normal for their strength levels to fluctuate. After all, not everyone can stabilize their performance like Su Zu.

In a group stage, there are only three stable places to advance. The more top-level athletes, the more intense the competition. No one wants to lose the top three qualifications and become a finalist relying on performance ranking. The latter approach is simply too risky.

Su Zu felt that being able to meet Obikviru again in the preliminaries group was indeed a narrow encounter.

Seems to have noticed that Su Zu was looking at himself, Obikveru suddenly turned his head, grinned at Su Zu, revealing his two front teeth with huge gaps in the door and laughed.

He looked at Su Zu with great attention. In the men's 60 meters in this year's indoor world championships, he only finished seventh. Not at his best, though affected by his own injury. But for Su Zu, an opponent who can run 60 meters to 6.48 to win the indoor championship, he is still very cautious.

Only the same level of power is worthy of respect, it has nothing to do with nationality and skin color.

It is already August in Athens, and the temperature during the day is not low, but the atmosphere in the stadium at this moment is like the Olympic flame burning in the highest part of the stadium, blazing and enthusiastic.

A stadium full of 70,000 people, even a single synchronized breath can set off a wave, not to mention countless cheers, applause, whistles and all kinds of harsh castanets and other objects produced sound.

Almost standing in the middle of the arena, you can feel the strong sound coming from all angles, making people's heart tremble.

Under the arrangement of the project referee and assistant referee, the eight athletes each walked onto their own track for a short warm-up before the final match.

Su Zu put the backpack he was carrying at the feet of a young volunteer tens of meters away from the starting line, took off his red jacket and trousers, and began to check the equipment.

Everything was checked properly, and I bounced on the spot twice. At this time, the introduction of the athletes in English and Greek began to sound.

"The first course was Ronald Bernievin from France, who was the 2000 World Youth Championship 4 x 100m silver medalist; the second course was from Portugal's Francis Obikovi Lu, he was the 2001 Golden League Berlin 100-meter champion, and the 2004 Golden League Paris 100-meter and 200-meter double champion…”

Whenever the host introduced a contestant's name, country and honor, the whole venue was filled with cheers and cheers.

Almost every athlete from the Olympic Games is a champion and runner-up in various competitions, and they have many honors. At this moment, the Greek people also showed their enthusiasm. The applause continued.

With the introduction of the host, we finally arrived at Su Zu of the fourth channel.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now I would like to introduce you to the fourth runner, SUZU from China, who is the 2004 World Indoor Championships Men's 60m Champion..."

The cheers on the arena sounded again, but this time, it was different from before, it seemed to be more enthusiastic.

In the courtside auditorium, overseas students, overseas Chinese, Chinese people who traveled to see the Olympics, Chinese media reporters, Chinese athletes and coaches, when they saw the 100-meter runway, they were wearing chest When the players whose LOGO is the five-star red flag sports vest appeared, the applause and warm cheers were more intense than ever.

Stand up, what a storm!

This is the first time that two Chinese athletes have stood on the 100-meter track in the Olympic Games. This small step is a huge breakthrough in the history of national track and field sports.

"Good boy, it's finally here."

In the audience, Wang Yifu looked excitedly at Su Zu, who was trying to run on the starting block, and suddenly shouted loudly, "Su Zu, come on! China will win!"

The shooting team members next to Wang Yi Mansion were completely stunned.

Except for the hot tears on the podium when he won the gold medal a few days ago, the members of the shooting team have almost never seen him so gaffe, cheering for other players in such high spirits !

Wang Yifu ignored the gazes of others, waving the red flag in his hand, as if to burst out all the emotions in his heart.

He has experienced more than 20 years from 1984 to 2004, these six Olympic Games, he is so aware of how much effort is required for each step!

"Suzu, come on!"

"Come on, China!"

In the venue of the tens of thousands of people, the shouts of hundreds of thousands of people were almost immediately covered up by louder cheering, but at that moment, Su Zu raised his head, as if he was still listening arrive.

Looking for the direction of the sound, there seemed to be an area in the middle of the oval-shaped venue, bright red and flags fluttering.

That is my countryman, my national flag, my Chinese red!

In just a moment, Su Zu felt more inexplicable emotions in his heart!

All efforts are to stand on this highest stage.

With the introduction of the radio, Su Zu raised his hands high and waved to everyone on the sidelines with a bright smile.

I was born again, I ran for myself, but I also ran with the expectations of all of you!

On the starting line, several black athletes beside Su Zu didn't understand the Chinese's mood at the moment.

“Onyourmarks.”

As the conference broadcast finished introducing the information of the athletes in each session, the referee on the field side began to shout the password for the athletes to be seated.

The audience at the scene quieted down almost at the same time.

Su Zu leaned over and lowered his head, pressed his hands on the rough rubber track, and gradually retreated from outside the white starting line to the inside of the starting line, pedaling his feet on the starting block at the most comfortable angle Step on the starting block.

Before the starting line, after all the athletes were in place, two referees in black suits checked behind each athlete to see if the athlete remained still before the starting line again. To prevent any athlete from having finger pressure line.

Strict and meticulous.

Everything is ready, the starter on the sidelines holds the starting gun high.

"SET."

Su Zu followed the password, arched his body, and made a starting position. As far as his eyes could see, there was an empty 100-meter runway, extending directly toward the auditorium at the end of the venue.

"Pop!"

The electronic starting gun sounds.

Su Zu kicked his legs on the starting block almost instantly, and the whole person ran out quickly.

An athlete's reaction speed meter next to the starting line also jumped out of the data.

The first course, Ronald Bernievin, France, reaction 0.150 seconds;

Second course, Francis Opic Viru, Portugal, reaction 0.165 seconds;

The third channel, JaysumaSaidyNdure, Gambia, response 0.157 seconds;

The fourth channel, Su Zu, China, 0.146 seconds;

The fifth channel, Nubuat Foday Fofana, Guinea, reaction 0.158 seconds;

The sixth channel, Adrian Durant, Virgin Islands, reaction 0.223 seconds;

Seventh track, Hiroshi Tue, Japan, response 0.182 seconds;

Track 8, JarbasMascarenhas, Brazil, response 0.147 seconds;

…

Su Zu's reaction of 0.146 seconds was not particularly good, but he ranked first among the eight contestants in the preliminaries. The slowest sixth lane player, Adrian of the U.S. Virgin Islands, had a reaction speed of 0.223 seconds.

A good starting response can give you a big advantage.

Even though Su Zu's current 100-meter running method is based on Carl Lewis's early stride acceleration, he still has a good grasp of the rhythm in an instant.

The time to start a few quick steps is just enough to start the reaction fast enough, the eighth Brazilian player, the French Ronald Berniewen, and the extraordinary Obi Keweilu Able to hold steady without being pulled apart.

Su Zu stepped up and accelerated, aiming at the finish line, with a fast pace and strong swinging arms.

Twenty meters, thirty meters, forty meters…

The speed continues to increase, and it enters the stage of high-speed running at the highest speed.

As soon as forty meters passed, the form on the track gradually became clear. front position.

Su Zu stared at the finish line that was getting closer and closer in the distance, without any concept of slowing down in his mind.

When participating in the preliminaries, Li Zhizhong and several other coaches explained that if you are not absolutely sure of the preliminaries, don't let it go. The goal is to enter the semi-finals first. Every step he runs is creating a historical record.

Su Zu was infected by the atmosphere of the competition just now. At this time, there was no idea of ​​relaxation in his mind. He has been running towards the finish line to accelerate and accelerate again.

Sixty meters, seventy meters, eighty meters... all the way to ninety meters.

Obike Viru, who was running next to Suzu, was a little confused at this time. He watched it twice in a row to the right, and wanted to complain loudly. This is in the preliminaries, brother, you run Why do you have to be so cruel? !

Being run at full speed by Su Zu, Obikvirou was almost running at full speed and did not dare to relax at all. French player Ronald Berniewen, who was in the first lane on his left, Although he fell behind a lot, he followed very closely. There was a group that ran so fast that he didn't dare to relax.

"Ooh-"

In the auditorium, tens of thousands of spectators followed the running of the athletes and exclaimed continuously.

Until the last ninety-five meters, Su Zu quickly glanced left and right to confirm that no one was on a horizontal line with him, and he breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down.

At the same time, Obikviru next to him also firmly occupied the second position in the group. When he saw that Suzu started to let go, he was not interested in catching up, and the speed dropped along with it. down.

Ninety-five meters, one hundred meters!

Suzu, Obikwelu, Ronald Berniewen crossed the finish line one after another!

The results are on the timing board. The top three are: Suzu, 10 seconds 05; Obi Keweilu, 10 seconds 07; Ronald Berniewyn, 10 seconds 18.

"Su Zu, Su Zu, enter the rematch!"

The first Chinese who can run into the semi-finals in the Olympic 100m event appeared!

Well, even if it's the finals, I feel a huge boost of encouragement!

Mai Shaoqiang applauded fiercely and called out hello, his face turned a little sad.

There are still five groups of players who have not yet completed the preliminaries. Whether Chen Jian can enter the semi-finals is still unknown!
