Run Out of My Life

Olympic Stadium, after the first group of men's 100m semi-finalists left, in just a few minutes, the second group of semi-finalists had already started to stand on the track.

On the TV, the host Yang Jian was still a little emotionally excited, and began to follow the live camera screen to introduce the next group of semi-finalists.

In this group are the champions of the previous Sydney Olympic Games. Winner Maurice Green, as well as Portugal's Obekwelu and Jason Gardner, all have the strength to open the 10-second barrier."

"Now, we are looking forward to their performance to see which four players can finally finish in the top four, and Suzu and Sean Crawford, Justin Gatlin and others Join the finals."

"Okay, the game is on!"

As the starting guns sounded at the scene, this time the second group of the finals did not appear to have a series of rush runs. All the players started smoothly and started the game.

"Maurice Green is the first in line now, and his starting reaction is very fast." The voice of Yang Jian in the TV came from the screen, and at this moment hundreds of millions of people The audience is watching the game.

Although there are not many people who can really recognize these players, it does not hinder people's expectations for the game two hours later.

The sprint event itself is so full of charm, when the gunshot rang, all the athletes galloped like wild horses. Beauty to the limit.

"Green, in the number one position now, Obikwiru is accelerating, he catches up, and Asafa Powell, the three of them are ahead of the others in speed, neck and neck, Cross the line! The three of them once again staged the first group final, the scene when Su Zu, Crawford, and Gatling."

Fourth place is Kim Collins, 10 seconds 02; two groups of The results of the players are very close.”

The results of Yang Jian’s group of players were reported one by one. At the end of the game, the warm atmosphere of the scene gradually eased, “There are still two hours, 4 am Beijing time. With 10 points, the final of the men's 100-meter trapeze competition, which has attracted the attention of the world, is about to begin. This is the first time that a Chinese competitor has broken the 10-second mark and entered the final at the age of 17. Please Don't go away in front of the TV viewers, the next broadcast for you is the men's gymnastics pommel horse final and..."

…

"Old Li, Su Zu's physical reserve should be enough, right? How about his recovery ability?"

Yuan Guohua watched the second group of semi-finalists take their places and was about to start the game, and only felt a heart pounding. Just now, Su Zu once again broke the 10-second mark and advanced to the final. Although the psychological impact of this incident on him, an old coach, was not as shocking as the first time he saw Su Zu run 9.99 seconds yesterday, but It still made his heart skip a beat.

While he was talking, Yuan Guohua turned his head and saw Li Zhizhong leaning on the railing beside him, his face was pale, and there was cold sweat on his forehead.

"Old Li, are you all right?"

Hearing Yuan Guohua's shout, several other coaches and athletes who were immersed in excitement also noticed the situation and hurried over to support Li Zhizhong.

Shen Yunbao quickly found a plastic stool given by the main committee of the event, put it under Li Zhizhong and asked him to sit down. Another person took a bottle of water, twisted it open for Li Zhizhong, and let him take a sip.

"Hur-"

With the help of several people, Li Zhizhong let out a long breath, smiled and looked at the people next to him and said, "I'm making you laugh, I'm too nervous, I've been standing for a long time, and my blood sugar is a little low. ."

"Scared me."

Yuan Guohua wiped the sweat from his forehead, not knowing whether it was hot or nervous, he laughed, "I'm all a coach, I can understand. The competition is much more nervous than my own. Old Li, you are now the number one coach in Asia, and if you are a little bit better, the field officials of the General Administration will be thrilled with you."

Listening to Yuan Guohua's words, a few people next to him also laughed out loud, Shen Yunbao helped Li Zhizhong, lightly pressed his shoulder that had been stiff for a long time, and said with a smile, "Coach Li, you have to keep your mentality. I'm still thinking about waiting for the Olympics to go back. I'll jump out of Coach Yuan's hands and go to you for a period of training."

"Hey, you stinky boy." Yuan Guohua looked at Shen Yunbao's attentive appearance, and scolded with a smile, "Are you trying to get dazzled, or do you think I'm not good enough."

"Haha, Master, the Su Zu you have brought by Coach Li has entered the finals. I think that before retiring, I should also replace the court, and I will say that it will be the same brother in the future."

"Hey, I don't dare. However, if Yunbao retires, come and be me as a teaching assistant, I will definitely be fine." Li Zhizhong slightly moved his stiff body, Joke along.

"That's it, I'll report to you later."

Several people laughed and joked a few words, one was Su Zu advancing to the finals, the atmosphere was relatively relaxed, and the other was Yuan Guohua and Shen Yunbao, a pair of mentors and apprentices, deliberately looking for some topics to relieve Li Zhizhong's tension pinched nerves.

This world-class competition, not to mention the athletes competing on the field, is also a huge test for the coaches. In the semi-finals just now, the continuous starting mistakes and rushing made Li Zhizhong's heart almost come to his throat. I was afraid that Su Zu would not stabilize and would be sent off or get out of other situations. Fortunately, in the end, although he had a weird face, he also entered the final.

Everyone can understand Li Zhizhong's performance. After all, he is an athlete who was brought up from the local area by the coach in charge. Not to mention Li Zhizhong, Yuan Guohua Shen Yunbao, including other Chinese people who were watching the game today, which one was not nervous.

The hustle and bustle of the Olympics was still there, but with such an interruption, the stone that had been hanging in Li Zhizhong's heart was also put down a bit.

"The interval between the semi-finals and the finals is short. If you want to keep running well, the requirements for athletes and players are too high. Su Zu just did his best in the semi-finals. In the finals I'm afraid it's not so optimistic." Seeing that Li Zhizhong's spirit had recovered somewhat, Yuan Guohua also continued the topic that he started and continued to discuss.

Li Zhizhong nodded, the sprint event seems to be only a short 100 meters, which does not consume much physical energy, but in fact, from the preliminaries to the finals, there are three to four shots in the middle. The process is not only a test of the athlete's absolute speed, but also more importantly, a test of the athlete's recovery ability. In the course of the competition, the performance of many athletes actually declines gradually with the progress of the competition.

This also means that many high-level athletes will release water after gaining an advantage in the first two rounds of the preliminaries. This is from the previous large-scale competitions such as the Olympic World Championships. proven.

In terms of ethnographic characteristics, a similar study has been done. Black people have more sweat glands than Caucasians and yellow people, the skin cools faster, and the perspiration mechanism is more perfect. In a room with room temperature of 37.8°C, blacks sweat less and have lower rectal temperatures than other races after a series of prescribed movements. In the heat (76.5°C) for 15 minutes, the whites sweated 107 cubic centimeters, while the blacks sweated 170 cubic centimeters. Blacks are more thermally regulated in hyperthermic conditions and return to normal body temperature faster.

Back to the highly competitive running and jumping sports, black players can have a higher advantage in physical consumption and recovery. This is also one of the reasons why black players in both East and West Africa have a monopoly in both short and long distances.

"It was unexpected to have come this far." Li Zhizhong calmed down his inner emotions, looked through the personnel, looked at the track and field arena in the distance, and sighed softly, "Go on In the arena, you have to rely on yourself.”

Note: The analysis data of black players comes from the China Science and Technology News Database "A Discussion on the Time Interval of the Sprint and Straight Track in Track and Field Competition"
