Run Out of My Life

"The men's 100m semi-final is about to start. All eight competitors are already on the track, and Su Zu is in the first track. I am really excited now, so I hope Su Zu Zu can maintain a stable mentality in today's game. In the world's highest competition stage, Su Zu has now created a new history. In the next high-level competition, the competition is whoever does not make mistakes and who has a good mentality. Whoever can win and advance to the next round of finals."

In the voice of Yang Jian's race commentary, the audience in front of the TV saw eight athletes walking out of the tunnel next to the track one after another. The first one was China whose skin color was very different from others player.

Under the leadership of the inspection guide, Su Zu came out of the corridor, and the overwhelming noise suddenly drilled into his ears, and the whole person's emotions were ignited.

Standing on the first track and walking a few steps back and forth, feeling the atmosphere of the competition, Su Zu took off his jacket and put it on the one in front of the staff at the back of the track in a plastic basket.

And his group Sean Crawford, Gatling and Thompson are all doing the same. Behind the starter of each track, in addition to the electronically synchronized small speakers, there is a plastic stool and an item box, which is guarded by a special staff.

When the competition enters the official stage, these volunteers will leave with personal items such as the clothes of each contestant and return them one by one after the competition.

After carefully checking the starter and spikes, Su Zu started a simple test run on the venue. The more important the game is, the less sloppy it is.

And from the perspective of the athlete's state preparation, properly performing some regular and ritualized movement checks before the game can make his mentality become stable and calm, and be more fully prepared.

The first group of eight semi-finalists walked each other on the track, occasionally trying to run, checking equipment, slapping the thigh muscles, jumping in place, relaxing, doing the final pre-race preparation.

Su Zu and Crawford looked at each other, smiled, and quickly looked away to maintain their pre-match concentration. The two have been together for several consecutive sets of games, and they have a bit of tacit understanding with each other. This is the real competitor.

Before the competition, the athletes were doing their own psychological adjustment. Occasionally, they glanced at each other and met each other. Everyone turned away quickly and did not make too much eye contact.

Su Zu also saw Justin Gatlin up close for the first time. The height is similar to him, and he is obviously much stronger than him. He has a slightly bearded face and a calm and confident expression. He kept his head held high, his eyes looking at the finish line 100 meters away.

At this time, the conference broadcast sounded, and the information of the athletes in each session began to be introduced. The commentator Yang Jian followed the synchronized footage and the on-site commentary of the conference, and began to introduce the contestants in Chinese to the audience in front of the national TV.

"The men's 100m final is about personal rhythm, state and absolute sprinting strength. Let's take a look at the eight semi-finalists in the first group. The first one is Su Zu, Asian trapeze, the new Asian record and national holder, the first non-black athlete to run the 100m 10-second mark, absolutely powerful, let's wait and see, expect him to run well in this group of semifinals Results... The second is Michael Flutter of Jamaica. His rematch score is 10.11. Born in 1982, his brother Lindfret is also a Jamaican sprinter and participated in the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. Third Way, America, Sean Crawford..."

When Su Zu heard the host of the conference introducing his name in English and Greek, he first stretched out his hand and waved to the audience at the scene. At the same time, the camera turned and aimed at him at this time. Su Zu smiled at the camera and made a strong fist.

Before this competition, his mood was also more nervous than usual, and he didn't think about doing a few funny moves like when he first appeared on TV.

After all, it was only an occasional pre-match adjustment, and in terms of his true nature, he was not such a lively person.

When Su Zu waved his hand, a few neat and powerful cheers in Chinese suddenly sounded from the humming cheers of 70,000 people at the scene, which was exceptionally clear.

"Suzu, come on!"

"China, win!"

Su Zu raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound. Among the tens of thousands of spectators in the entire venue, there was a small area where a red flag was fluttering. It was the compatriots who came here to cheer him on. .

I waved my hand again and looked at the red flag. At a certain moment, my heart seemed to be much more at ease.

With the introduction of athletes in groups of cameras, the races, names and nationalities of the eight athletes are all listed one by one.

First Road, Suzu, China;

Second course, Michael Flutter, Jamaica;

Third Road, Sean Crawford, USA;

The Fourth Road, Justin Gatling, USA;

The Fifth Road, Mark Lewis Francis, UK;

Sixth Road, Aziz Zachary, Ghana;

Seventh Road, Uchena Emoduri, Nigeria;

Road 8, Obadiah Thompson, Barbados;

In the preliminaries and rematches, there are also white players such as Slovenia's Madik Osovnikal, Italy's Simona Corio, and Japan's last sequel Shingo Tohara Xuanji and other yellow race players.

In the semi-final stage, at this time, the eight tracks were completely dominated by black players. Except for Su Zu, no other non-black players could be seen.

“Onyourmarks.”

After the athlete information is now broadcast on the radio, the general international password begins to sound.

Su Zu took a light breath, removed the noisy scene from his vision, and calmed down the excitement before the competition.

Calm, focused, and followed the referee's order to the starting track.

"Whoa..."

"Wow woo... woo woo..."

“Wow…Wow…Wow…”

As the players walked onto the track one by one, the audience closest to the track suddenly burst into rhythmic cheering applause. It started out as a small area, and gradually more and more people joined, and it was like thunder.

Athletes took their places before the starting line, and thunderous applause fell.

Su Zu leaned over and lowered his head, his feet fell on the starter, and began to prepare to start, patiently waiting for the referee's password and the sound of the starting gun.

“…The game is about to start, all the athletes are taking their places, and you can now hear the audience cheering on the beat for the eight competitors.”

On the TV screen, Yang Jian's commentary was synchronized with the scene of the event, "The good athletes have already got on the starting block, the scene is quiet, the starter is signaling, alas, this is... "

Yang Jian's voice suddenly stopped!

"Beep!"

Suddenly a whistle sounded, and Su Zu ran out almost subconsciously, a string in his heart tightened. The same is true for the other athletes next to him. At this time, all the athletes are highly focused and nervous. After standing on the starting block, as soon as they move a little, they will naturally have a conditioned reflex.

Six or seven athletes all ran out of the track. After running a few steps, the linesman quickly waved his hand to signal, and the players also reacted and slowed down to stop.

And he let out a long breath, the whistle sounded just now, it was purely a natural reaction, that is, when there was movement around him, the body jumped out, completely unprepared state.

"What?"

Su Zu looked around and looked at the scene, only to realize that Aziz Zachary, the Ghanaian player in the sixth lane, signaled to the referee that his starting gear was not adjusted properly and the preparation for the game was not completed.

Su Zu shook his head slightly, and saw that the other party's brows were wrinkled, and he didn't know what was going on.

However, the preparation for the game was interrupted by Aziz Zachary, and he didn't have the heart to take care of others. All the players are making quick mental adjustments to maintain their focus.

No distractions in the 100m race. Especially in the starting stage, although the starting reaction speed of the runners is not a decisive factor, it is also a crucial one.

Being distracted makes it much harder to stay in top shape.

For more than ten seconds, all the athletes stepped on the start again, bent down and kept their bodies still.

Two referees in white shirts and black suits and ties confirmed whether the starting positions of the contestants were standard, and the noisy sound of the whole field was quiet again.

"SET."

The sound of the starter's preparation sounded, and all the runners got up and took the starting position.

"...the sixth lane runner and the referee signaled that his start was not comfortable, and the race resumed. All the spectators were holding their breath... Okay, the race begins!"

On the TV, Yang Jian's voice accompanied the whole process of the game. After the gunshots of the game, it suddenly increased a little through the big screen, and then suddenly fell again, "Oops, Uchena Emoduri in the seventh lane took the run. In this world competition, the psychological quality of the players is very high, and the referee on the scene gave a warning. This game really has some twists and turns. The players are more nervous now."

…

Before returning to the starting line again, Su Zu could hear the heavy breathing of Michael Flutter in the second lane next to him. The unexpected situation of two consecutive starts made everyone ready for a while The state of concentration is disrupted.

"Hold on, hold on!"

Su Zu pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and returned to the starting line again.

In this world-class competition, all the players are fighting for the weakest advantage. There must be situations where the gun is pressed, and once it is rushed, the psychological pressure caused is not ordinary. In the second shot, there is absolutely no chance of running away. Once you lose the qualification for the competition, it is useless to have any strength.

Several clear whistles and drum noises from the audience came out from the side of the arena, and it seemed that they were a little dissatisfied with the situation before the competition.

It was another ten seconds of delay, and soon all the runners were back on the starting block.

"SET." The starter's voice sounded again.

Su Zuping resumed his breathing, followed the starter's voice, got up and made a starting position, looked at the finish line, and concentrated on listening to the gunshots of the upcoming game.

"Pop!"

The gunshots of the game rang out.

Su Zu dared to start only after hearing the sound of gunshots. He almost didn't need to think about it when he ran out. The reaction time at the start of this trip must be very poor.

The two consecutive sets of starts were interrupted, and the level of concentration has dropped seriously.

However, other athletes did not respond very well at this moment. They only made movements after clearly hearing the gunshots.

Although the hesitant movements of the runners at the moment of starting could not be discerned with the naked eye, the starting reaction times that immediately appeared on the sidelines of the race were all presented one by one.

The fastest reaction time was Aziz Zachary in the sixth lane. It was he who signaled that he was uncomfortable at the start, and then the race restarted. His reaction time at the start was 0.161 seconds.

Su Zu's starting reaction time is 0.187 seconds, which can be said to be close to the middle and lower reaches, and it is also his worst reaction recently.

"The game begins!"

Yang Jian's voice came out through the screen when the TV screen had already broadcast the contestants running out, "Su Zu's start was not very good, it seems that it was affected by the situation just now."

Ten meters, twenty meters, thirty meters…

The eight runners in the acceleration stage were all affected by the rush run to varying degrees, some were fast and some slow, and the reaction speed was fast. After adjustment, they had a certain advantage in the acceleration stage. And Su Zu was at the back at this time.

As soon as 30 meters passed, Su Zu raised his head and straightened up and entered the fast stage of high-speed running. At this time, the individual abilities of the players were gradually reflected.

Forty meters, fifty meters, sixty meters…

Entering the high-speed stage of running on the way, the players with stronger personal strength gradually stand out. Su Zu catches up from behind, and gradually reaches the position of the first sequence on the track, and bites Crawford tightly, Ah Zizzachary has a few people, and just behind them is Justin Gatlin, whose starting reaction time is worse than Suzu.

Aziz Zachary and Crawford took the lead with a slight advantage, Su Zu stared at the finish line, completely ignoring the position of the players next to him.

Now is not the time to focus on other players' positions from the corner of your eye.

"Aziz Zachary ran to the first position, next to him is Crawford, Su Zu, Su Zu is chasing..." Yang Jian's voice followed Su Zu's voice The running speed is constantly increasing.

After 60 meters, Su Zu gradually caught up with Aziz Zachary. He and Crawford were almost at the same level. At the same time, Justin Gatlin was behind Gradually caught up.

Seventy meters…

It's too fast!" The form on the field was so fast that Yang Jian hardly had time to explain.

Eighty meters, ninety meters…

In the final stage, the three people almost formed a branch.

One hundred meters! Punch the line!

A gust of wind swept through, almost indistinguishable to the naked eye, and three people crossed the finish line at the same time.

9 seconds 96!

The score on the clock board is out.

After the three ran across the finish line, they slowed down and stopped, and at the same time raised their heads to watch the big screen.

It lasted for seven or eight seconds, the screen flickered for a while, and finally the shot that crossed the line was frozen.

"Su Zu, Su Zu and Gatlin tied for the first place in the group and ranked first. Wait, Su Zu won! Su Zu won by a thousand and two seconds. First place in the semi-final group!"

The results of the groups appear on the big screen at the Olympic Stadium.

1. The first course, Su Zu, China, the reaction was 0.187 seconds, and the score was 9 seconds 964;

2. Fourth course, Justin Gatlin, USA, reaction 0.192 seconds, score 9 seconds 966;

3. The third course, Sean Crawford, United States, reaction 0.168 seconds, score 9 seconds 971;

4. The sixth track, Aziz Zachary, Ghana, the reaction was 0.161 seconds, and the score was 10 seconds 11;

…

"Su Zu, entered the finals!"

The audience in front of the TV could only hear Yang Jian’s voice shouting. In the picture that no one could see, the CCTV commentary Yang Jian hugged Han Shengqiao who was sitting next to him. Very emotional.

As a track and field commentator, especially when he commented on the world's top track and field events, especially the popular event of sprinting, I almost never saw a Chinese figure.

The kind of huge regret, the kind that can always maintain a detached disposition to read materials smoothly. Without passion, without fluctuations, no amount of passion can be brought in or released.

And now, watching the red voices running past on the field, Yang Jian only felt the corners of his eyes moist.

This is the first Chinese who can run two consecutive 10 seconds in the Olympic 100m event and enter the final!
