Run Out of My Life

In the lounge of the inspection area.

After Su Zu put on his trousers jacket, he covered his face with a towel and rested on the sofa.

He seemed to be able to hear someone whispering in his ears, and he didn't know what language it was. In the distance, there was a roar of boiling water in the Olympic Stadium, one after another.

Two hours is not too short, but it is not too long for the top 100m athletes to prepare for the final. Of course, compared to the 16-year Rio Olympics in later generations, the time between the semi-finals and the finals was only more than an hour. This time in Athens is much better.

This trip will consume a lot of energy and state.

In the final unreserved final, every athlete needs to maintain the peak state. In the semi-final, Su Zu started relatively slowly, so he almost went all out to run in the end.

Don't look at the short 100 meters, if you mobilize all the strength of the body to run, no matter from the concentration, physical fitness, and the state of the whole body, you need to start over and adjust.

Facing the upcoming final, Su Zu now needs to race against time to get his body back to its best state.

Close your eyes and sleep soundly is a good recovery method, sleep is the fastest recovery method for the human body, whether it is from the theory heard by Su Zu in his previous life, or from his career as an athlete in this life. Knowledge has it all.

However, in such a major event, the closer to the finals, the greater the pressure on the athletes. They can completely eliminate interference and distractions, and there are not many people who fall asleep peacefully. And from the level of physical excitement, this method is not suitable for everyone.

Each athlete has his own unique adjustment method before the competition, and the purpose is ultimately only one, maintain state, restore physical fitness, and enter his peak state in the final.

Su Zu held his chest with both hands and closed his eyes to isolate those noisy sounds. Think carefully about how to run in the finals you will face.

"Press the gun?! Run away?!" This thought flashed through Su Zu's mind.

In the semi-finals, from Aziz Zachary's first trip to interfere with the start of the players, to the second trip to Uchena Emoduri's stealing, this intentional or unintentional situation made him Su Zu suffered a big loss in the semifinals.

Although he still ran to the top of the group in the end, Justin Gatlin and Sean Crawford both advanced to the final, but if it weren't for the two consecutive interference, maybe the three of them might not need Running so hard, and whether it was Aziz Zachary who advanced to the fourth place has to be said.

In large-scale events, especially for athletes with rich experience and stable psychological quality, it is almost a common phenomenon to adopt such a strategy to put pressure on others.

Before the IAAF did not adopt the strategy of "zero rush", this was almost the only tactic that athletes in sprinting could use.

From an athlete's point of view, choose to press the gun to run. If you press it right, you will have the advantage of starting the run. Athletes who choose to press the gun to run will be used up, and everyone will return to the starting line.

Of course, this is a double-edged sword, hurting the enemy and hurting yourself, and you may capsize if you are not careful.

Whether anyone dares to run with a gun is also uncertain. The finals of the Olympic Games, after all, will make many players throw the rat, and it is better to have a ranking than to be sent off.

"To get to this point, is it history?"

Su Zu thought silently, in his memory, at least before his rebirth, no Chinese player had ever stood on the Olympic final track.

At this moment, the expectations and pressures in his heart have become much smaller. One is that he is not a teenager in his mentality after all, and he understands what it means to be here. In addition, before the semi-finals, from the coach to the team leader, and even the leaders of the regiment, all had a brief conversation with him.

At this point, you don't need to think about it any more, just run as you want, no one will give him any more goals and expectations.

Su Zu also understands this, but since he has reached the finals, he always wants to move forward a little bit.

Before participating in this Olympic Games, Su Zu actually never thought that he would be able to run to the finals. This time the Athens Olympic Games itself has more of the idea of ​​participating, but when you are in the middle of the pack In the competitive atmosphere, unconsciously want to be faster and stronger!

I want to win every game.

Give it a go.

In the lounge, Su Zu rested quietly for an hour and a half before getting up again.

At this time, the volunteers arranged by the Indoor Athens Olympic Organizing Committee led the finalists to the indoor warm-up track in the inspection area for half an hour before the final match.

Su Zu slowly moved the joints of his body, first jogging back and forth for a few sets on the indoor running track about 60 to 70 meters long. Then I walked to the starting block, simulating in my mind the moment when the gunshots of the game sounded, and at the same time, my body responded quickly and started.

On the track beside him is the last Olympic champion Maurice Green, sticking out his tongue from time to time, watching Su Zu warm up for the start with interest.

With the sound of footsteps, one after another athlete began to move their bodies, making the whole person excited as quickly as possible.

…

"Okay, viewers, you are now paying attention to the final of the men's 100-meter trapeze at the Olympic Games. It is also the first time in history that a Chinese player has stood on the final track of the Olympic Games. It has to be said that it is a miracle. Chinese player Su Zu, he has satisfactorily handed in his best answer sheet, proving that he is the No. 1 sprinter in Asia. No matter what the final result is, we are all proud of him here. "

23:00 pm local time, 4:00 am Beijing time.

Countless Chinese people who stayed up all night finally waited in front of the TV for the most crucial battle. The moment they listened to the host Yang Jian's voice coming from the TV, everyone was The spirit was shocked.

It's finally time!

The huge cheers in the Olympic Stadium brought a new wave of cheers almost as the eight players appeared on the track.

"Suzu, come on!"

"China, win!"

"Suzu..."

When Su Zu followed the staff of the event through the tunnel and appeared on the field, the bright light of the Olympic scene made him narrow his eyes slightly, then raised his head, a few hours passed, The cheering audience still contained passion, and their voices were high-pitched and loud.

The red flag is fluttering, just like before.

"Eight players are already on the track... oh, what we hear now is that the Chinese audience at the scene is cheering for our player Su Zu, even in a stadium of 70,000 people , their voices are still not covered up." Yang Jianzheng was explaining the entering contestants, and suddenly there was a burst of Chinese shouting from the Olympic scene, which made his emotions ignited.

"This Olympic Games really let the world see the absolute strength of our Chinese athletes in the track and field, and also let the world see the enthusiasm of the Chinese audience."

"Ok, eight runners are briefly testing the field and track and the race is about to begin. The current world record in the men's 100m was set by American sprinter Montgomery on September 14, 2002 in Paris 9.78 in the IAAF Grand Prix. The Olympic record was 9.84 set by Canada's Donovan Bailey at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics."

With the introduction of commentator Yang Jian, a floating colored frame appeared at the bottom of the TV screen. The first column is a blue box with the English word Athlelics and the five Olympic rings, the second is a gray 100mMen, and the third and fourth columns are the names of the players who set the world record and the Olympic record, the time and score of the record.

Behind the frame of the TV record, the TV screen began to focus on the eight athletes of this Olympic Games.

"The first is Kim Collins, who is also the first man from St. Kitts and Nevis to participate in the Olympic men's 100m final, having won the 200m at the 2001 World Championships The bronze medal, the men's 100m champion in the 2002 Commonwealth Games, and the silver medal in the 2003 IAAF World Indoor Championships; the second is Sean Crawford of the United States... The sixth is my country's Su Zu, in The nearly 17-year-old teenager, the creator of the national men's 100-meter record and the Asian record, the world indoor men's 60-meter champion, the first Asian player to stand on the Olympic men's 100-meter final track..."

When the camera swept over Su Zu, Yang Jian's voice began to rise. The final information of the eight finalists appeared on the TV screen, accompanied by the voice of the live commentary.

First Road, Kim Collins, St. Kitts & Nevis;

Second Road, Sean Crawford, USA;

Third Road, Asafa Powell, Jamaica;

The Fourth Road, Justin Gatling, USA;

Fifth Road, Francis Opic Viru, Portugal;

Sixth Road, Suzu, China;

Seventh Road, Morris Green; USA;

The Eighth Road, Aziz Zachary, Ghana;

After the brief introduction of the player information, the live TV screen has been approached to 20 to 30 meters in the middle of the track. Eight players are taking off their jackets and trousers, going back and forth on the track Move around and do the final pre-match preparations.

Before the starting line, wearing a red vest and shorts, with bare arms, thighs, calves, and relatively fair skin, Su Zu was particularly eye-catching under the bright lights of the Olympic stadium.

Su Zu jumped slightly in place, gently relieved his breath, and his eyes were firm.

Beside Su Zu, Maurice Green twisted his waist from side to side, looked at the end a hundred meters away, bit his lip slightly, and his expression was solemn.

On his left hand, Obikveru raised his head, looked at the void, and made a prayer to clean up.

On the track before the starting line, Justin Gatlin sat on the track to adjust his breathing, got up and knelt in the middle of the track, spreading his hands as if waiting for cheers.

With the sound of "Onyourmarks", the eight contestants finished their pre-competition tricks and stepped onto the starter. Silence, perseverance, like a soldier waiting for a horn of charge.

The warm and noisy sound of the Olympic Stadium subsided a little, and everyone's eyes were on the 100-meter starting line, and the eight runners stepped onto the starting block.

"Okay, the game will start soon, and the players have already started to take their places." Yang Jian's voice came out in sync with the actions on the scene.

With both hands outside, press in front of the starting line, put your feet on the pedals of the starting block, adjust the most comfortable movements, lean over and bow your head.

For seven or eight seconds, the on-site referee patrolled back and forth, observing the movements of the eight athletes. Confirmed.

"Set." The sound of the passed international preparation password sounded.

The eight finalists simultaneously lowered their heads from a squat, began to stand up, and bowed their bodies to make a starting position.

Pop!

"The game begins!"

After a gunshot, Yang Jian's voice came out at the same time, overflowing with passion.

The emotions of the audience instantly ignited, and suddenly fell again.

After running a few steps, Su Zu stopped and exhaled a long breath. They all let out a long breath, relaxed, and glanced at him inadvertently.

"Su Zu ran away." Yang Jian's voice was full of regret, "This is normal, our athletes are still relatively young after all, and this is the first time they have stepped onto such a large-scale event stage. It is inevitable that he is too nervous. I hope he adjusts it as soon as possible and tries his best to play his best form.”

"It's okay, don't stress, let's do it again."

In an Olympic venue like this, others may not know it, but Li Zhizhong knows Su Zu well. This is not the first time. He is usually quiet and dull, and his mentality is calm and stable, but when it comes to the most crucial game, Su Zu has always been the one who dares to gamble and let go.

As a coach, Li Zhizhong can't exactly measure whether the athlete's approach is rash or not. From the perspective of an athlete, only such a firm mentality of chasing the championship can make him come this far.

However, running with a gun is never that simple. Li Zhizhong knows in his heart that this requires rich experience in competitions. Like Maurice Green, in yesterday's rematch and today's semi-final, he pressed the gun twice, and the starting reaction speed was 0.117 and 0.125. That's exactly the kind of response that a top-level athlete who's been through in competition can make.

At this time, in front of the TV, all the audience became nervous after seeing Su Zu running away. In the imperial capital, in the magic capital, in Ronghai, in Guangdong Province, in many cities and villages, sitting in front of the TV in the middle of the night and watching this heart-pounding game.

Su Zu shrugged his shoulders, made a simple chest expansion, and returned to the starting line again. Looking at the finish line in the distance, there is a faint flame flashing in his eyes.

In this group of finals, he did not have the huge nervous pressure of the semi-finals of the preliminaries, instead, he had a clear mind, and his fiery heart was full of passion.

"Do it again?" Su Zu asked himself silently in his heart.

"Then do it again!"

The answer is yes. Su Zu made up his mind without any hesitation. This is the Olympic arena. There are no qualifying matches and no promotions. What kind of results can be achieved is what kind of results can be achieved.

How can you know the final result without trying your best.

War is on the horizon.

All the players took their places again, and the atmosphere of the scene began to be extremely solemn.

"Pop!" The gunfire of the match sounded again.

All athletes follow the gunshots and start at the same time.

Suddenly, there was another huge boo.

Beep! The reaction time of the live starter is again a warning.

Someone else ran away! !

"Obike Viru, Obik Viru ran for the second time." Yang Jian's voice rose to the highest point almost at this moment, "He was sent off."

More than ten meters away, the contestant stopped. Obikviru watched the referee show him a red card, and almost instantly showed an unbelievable look. Looking at the warning given by the referee, his heart was dead for a while.

Silence, anger, sadness, all kinds of emotions emerged one by one.

“%￥#￥@…”

The foul language mixed with English and Portuguese broke out, Obikvelu screamed in pain, and his hands suddenly tore off his vest, and threw it to the ground.

Desperate eyes looked at the track, the stadium, and countless spectators, full of endless unwillingness and annoyance.

However, a penalty is a penalty, and you are not eligible to participate! The rules are like that.

The remaining seven players watched in silence as he was ejected from the arena by the referee, and there seemed to be an anxious and dull aura above the starting line.

This time, even Su Zu, who was about to let go and start again, felt a little trembling in his heart.

Fouling the rules is so close, so scary.

There should be no problem with his second pressure shot just now, and he feels that his reaction speed is excellent. It's a pity, perhaps because of the influence of Su Zu's first run, Obikvelu didn't stabilize.

Su Zu had no way of knowing whether Obikviru's second run was deliberately pressing the gun, or whether it was caused by too nervousness. This situation is enough to make the finalists present become more and more cautious.

"The atmosphere at the scene is too tense." Yang Jian's voice trembled slightly, "There are not many cases of being sent off for being snatched away in the Olympics. At this time, you can imagine that every athlete is carrying a lot of pressure inside."

Third time, before the starting line, the third race starts again!

The remaining seven athletes on the starting line squatted on the starting block again, and the referee and starter on the sidelines also became serious in the continuous process.

"Set."

A sound of preparation rang out, and the seven finalists just got up and took the starting position, and then the starting gun sound of "pop" sounded.

This time the starter did not do much delay, the interval was very short.

"The game starts!" Yang Jian's commentary was delayed for a while by the rapid starting gunshots before he suddenly shouted.

Su Zu almost just finished his starting position when he heard the sound of the starting gun, his body subconsciously slammed on the starter pedal and ran out quickly.

Su Zu didn't press the gun this time, but he responded very quickly.

The interval between the gunshots given by the starter was too fast, and was affected by the two groups of rushing, and many players did not respond immediately.

Similarly, Jin Collins, who has seized the advantage of this reaction speed, has a faster reaction speed than Su Zu.

At this moment, the seven runners are all swinging their arms synchronously, and their left and right feet are violently pedaling on the starting block.

One step, two steps, three steps, the movements are neat and uniform, but in slow motion, it is obvious that Jin Collins and Su Zu, who have the fastest reaction times, seem to have Advantage. They have more arm swing and foot movement.

Ten meters, twenty meters, thirty meters…

Su Zu accelerated, stepped on the ground strongly, raised his knees, and advanced his center of gravity.

In the acceleration stage of 30 meters, the distance between all the players is almost very small, and the fastest to seize the advantage is Jin Collins and Su Zu in the first lane. At the start of the reaction, almost at the stage of 30 meters, he seized the advantage of one to half position.

Su Zu stared at the finish line as far as he could see, the fifth lane was empty and no one was there, only Maurice Green in the sixth lane was half ahead of him 30 meters ahead.

Accelerate and accelerate!

Forty meters, fifty meters, sixty meters…

"Ah!" A painful cry rang out.

The eighth track Aziz Zachary suddenly shouted, and when he ran to about 40 meters, he jumped and ran a few steps and stopped, which seemed to be an instant muscle strain.

But at this time, none of the remaining six runners on the other tracks would be interrupted by this abnormal situation.

Serious, focused, and chasing wildly on the track with your strongest strength.

Entering the stage of high-speed running, Su Zu's full acceleration in the first 30 meters gradually played an effect. The pace was large and powerful, and the pace was fast and rhythmic.

As soon as 50 meters passed, Jin Collins, who had just started to seize the opportunity, was overtaken by Su Zu, and behind him, Sean Claw, Justin Gatlin and Maurice Green The three were approaching frantically. Asafa Powell is a little behind and is chasing after him.

Seventy meters, eighty meters, ninety meters…

Su Zu sprinted towards the final finish line without reservation. With a distance of 90 meters, he already felt that the runners on the left and right were running on a branch line with him.

No panic, no other thoughts, just the finish line.

"Suzu, Suzu had a good start, he surpassed and now runs in second place, ah, Aziz Kari was injured, Suzu, surpassed Kim Collins, Suzu ran first..."

Yang Jian's voice almost boiled, and various shouts sounded, "The three American players are chasing Su Zu frantically, Gatling is running very fast, Su Zu keeps it, Su Zu Come on, Su Zu, run quickly..."

One hundred meters!

Cross the line!

The number 9 seconds 89 appears on the timing board.

The audience in front of the TV stood up almost instantly, staring at the screen, not daring to miss a bit of information. The audience at the Olympic site also burst into a frenzy.

Finally, the speed of crossing the line was too fast, and in the end, almost four people, Sean Crawford, Justin Gatlin, Suzu and Maurice Green, crossed side by side at the same time.

The big screen flashes, and the results of the 28th Athens Olympiad appear according to the ranking.

1. Fourth course, Justin Gatlin, USA, reaction 0.191, score 9 seconds 887;

2. Seventh track, Morris Green; USA, reaction 0.161, score 9 seconds 896;

3. Sixth Road, Su Zu, China, reaction 0.131, score 9 seconds 903;

4. Second course, Sean Crawford, United States, reaction 0.167, score 9 seconds 912;

5. The third course, Asafa Powell, Jamaica, reaction 0.166, score 9 seconds 947;

6. The first course, Kim Collins, St. Kitts and Nevis, reaction 0.127, score 10 seconds 003;

7. Eighth course, Aziz Zachary, Ghana, response 0.178, grade not completed;

8. Blank

"Su Zu, Su Zu is the third place, Su Zu won the bronze medal, it is unbelievable, the Chinese athlete who ran into the final for the first time, Su Zu, he won the bronze medal of the Olympic men's 100 meters This is a miracle, Su Zu, he has created miracles one after another, this is the first time for a Chinese to win the heaviest men's sprint medal, and the first time for an Asian player."

Yang Jian's emotions are almost completely uncontrollable, and the strong personal emotions, even the audience in front of the TV thousands of miles away can feel at this moment.

"Su Zu, he surpassed countless predecessors and became the light of Asia. This is the real Asian speed, Chinese speed. He only lost to two American players by a slight disadvantage. , we believe that he will go further..."

At the finish line of the 100m at the Olympic Stadium, Su Zu raised his head and looked at the results displayed on the big screen. He was also sluggish for a long time.

"Third?! Bronze?!"

A huge regret and joy were surging at the same time, and Su Zu stood there blankly.

This result, perhaps due to his first **** and the second Obikveru sent off, is a bit worse than the Olympic final in another time and space.

The first Justin Gatlin won the championship with his strong strength even though his reaction was slow at the start. Green became second.

And he finished third.

Countless cheers, like thunder!

Red flags fluttered in the distance, and someone was calling his name faintly.

Calm, proud, and regretful, all kinds of emotions flooded my heart.

Su Zu understands that this is already his personal best result, the result of his best performance, but when the result of the game comes out, he has so much joy and unwillingness.

Dozens of reporters rushed to the track from the media area. This time it was the final, the last game tonight, and no referee would interfere with them to take pictures and videotape.

"Hi Su, congratulations!"

Sean Crawford was full of disappointment the moment he saw the result, but he quickly adjusted. He is a special 200-meter athlete, and the 100-meter score is It is almost his ultimate, and there is still a chance later. Walked to Su Zu's side, shook hands with him, and hugged gently.

"Thank you, Sean. It's just a little bit, and the top three are all taken over by you." Su Zu replied with a smile, in the era when the Jamaican Army had not yet fully risen, the sprint event was really Fully notified by the United States.

"Come on!" Sean Crawford grinned and showed his white teeth, patted Su Zu on the shoulder, "See you at 200 meters!"

Su Zu smiled and turned to look at Justin Gatlin who was ecstatically running around the field in the distance, "The 100-meter final is over!"
