Run Out of My Life

Olympic Stadium, with the runners in their positions on each track, the third group of 200-meter preliminaries is about to begin.

Su Zu was assigned to the sixth lane, and his group of preliminaries also had many masters.

In the introduction of the live broadcast sound, the personal information of the eight athletes appeared on the large screen of the stadium.

Track 1, Brian Zingai, Zimbabwe;

Second course, Oleg Sergeyev, Russia;

Third Lane, Malik, Algeria;

The Fourth Road, David Canal, Spain;

Fifth Lane, Frankie Redricks, Namibia;

Sixth Road, Suzu, China;

Seventh Road, Heberviera, Uruguay;

Road 8, Siemens Lameni, Swaziland;

Su Zu doesn't know much about many players in his group, but the strongest among them is Namibian player Frankie Fredericks, he knows.

The legendary Namibian athlete is the world indoor 200-meter record holder and the silver medalist in the 100-meter and 200-meter Olympic Games in 1992 and 1996. In the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, although he lost to Michael Johnson, he also ran an astonishing 19.68. With four silver medals in two Olympic Games, even if he is 36 years old this year, no one dares to underestimate his strength.

Others, like Zimbabwe's Brian Zingai, just ran a personal best of 20.12 in Austin, Texas in June.

Algeria's Malik and Spain's David Canal are athletes who specialize in 200 meters or 400 meters and 200 meters, and have good speed and endurance in the second half Strength.

"Suzu, Suzu..."

"Suzu, come on!"

"China, win!"

…

Sounds of Chinese cheering continued after Su Zu appeared on the track and field.

Many Greek spectators just watched silently, the buzzing whispers converged, occasionally mixed with a few harsh whistles, not as enthusiastic and excited as the previous 100 meters.

Because of this, the cheering shouts brought to Su Zu by the Chinese audience at the scene this time were very real.

Occasionally, other audience members were shouting in different languages ​​to cheer for the players in the same group, but most of them were the warm cheers of the Chinese audience.

Su Zu felt the support from his compatriots very deeply at this time. Under the scorching sun, the red flag was still flying brightly.

"Come on, come on!"

Yang Guangzong stood on the side of the arena, just after the preliminaries of the first group, he did not leave the field immediately to go indoors, but stayed on the side of the field to cheer for Su Zu.

It is difficult for anyone to fully appreciate his mood at the moment.

It is a joy to be promoted to the semi-finals, but what is even more gratifying is that in my own special project, there is such an excellent teammate, in a foreign country, surrounded by many strong players , fighting side by side.

He, like Chen Jian, has been challenged by no one in China for a long time in their special 100m or 200m events. In Asia, the only opponent he looked at was Shingo Susu at that time.

And later, Su Zu appeared, an opponent and teammate.

Many records that they originally thought were impossible were broken by this young boy.

When they were struggling to face the competition of Asian and Japanese athletes, suddenly there was such a person who suddenly became able to compete with the top sprinters in Europe and America, the huge pressure and excitement , almost all the time.

From Chen Jian to Shen Yunbao to his Yang Guangzong, and even all the other athletes in the sprint team, it seems that there is a dawn.

When you're slack, look at the younger but harder-working teenager on the training ground.

We people have to do something!

"Come on, Suzu!"

Yang Guangzong expanded his hands into a horn around his mouth and shouted loudly.

My teammates, my opponents, come on!

…

Su Zu looked for the direction of the voice, and saw Yang Guangzong on the side of the arena not far away, sweating under the scorching sun, with a bright smile on his face.

Su Zu laughed, and his heart was very fulfilled in an instant, and he stepped onto the starting gear.

This is not an Olympics for one, it is an Olympics for many of us.

After the tense 100-meter race a few days ago, he set foot on the 200-meter track again, and his mood has become much calmer.

For the 200-meter preliminaries, I was no longer in the same mood as the men's 100-meter race at the beginning.

One aspect is that after the game entered the rhythm, with the support of many people, people's mentality and emotions have gradually stabilized.

The other is that with the 100-meter result, the pressure on the body is less. And in this Olympic Games, having competed with top-notch sprinters, I have a clear understanding of my own strength.

Simply put, become more confident.

Confidence never falls from the sky, but comes from constant victories, from a clear understanding of oneself and the strength of other players.

"Onyourmarks."

All the runners took to the track, and the 200-meter starting line was a curved start.

The sixth track where Su Zu is located is in the front position. The distance from the 200-meter starting line is called the number of stretches in professional terms. In track and field competitions, the 200m, 400m, 800m, 4x100m relay, 4x400m relay, 400m hurdles and other events have the number of stretches (the starting line is not on the same line). The number of reach is due to the different radius of each runway.

Meter.

In other words, the difference between Su Zu's current sixth track and the first track is about 18 meters to nearly 19 meters, and the difference between the eighth track player on his right is 7 meters. about.

In track and field competitions, the distance of each track at the start of the curve is fair, and the advantage of the corresponding middle track is similar to that of the 100-meter event, which can be determined more favorably own position in the game.

Su Zu quietly bent over and squatted in front of the starting line, the rubber track on the ground was a little hot, but at the moment when the referee's password sounded, all the distracting thoughts in his mind immediately Just cleaned out.

Sprinting is a highly focused event. Almost at the moment of stepping on the starting gear, all athletes need to ensure that they are in a state of complete concentration from both the mind and the body.

The whole stadium gradually became quiet.

Pop!

The gunshots of the game rang out.

At the moment when the gun rang, Su Zu suddenly kicked his feet on the starting block. His strong footsteps seemed to crack the runway. The whole person got up quickly with the huge reaction force. accelerate.

He has been training for a long time to start off the corners. The acceleration on the corners is not as good as on the straights. Because of the centrifugal force, the acceleration phase requires more power.

Su Zu stared at the runway in front of him, and every step he took had a precise calculation.

At this stage of the start of the corner, his position in the track is slightly close to the left dividing line. As he continues to accelerate, he reaches the corner and enters the straight, the largest arc When in the area, the speed is improved to the extreme.

Extreme speed play.

In the same group, the Namibian veteran Frankie Fredericks is also very fast, almost as fast as Suzu at the moment when the corner enters the straight.

Behind the two, Algeria's Malik was only one position behind.

Su Zu has been controlling his stride, maintaining the highest running speed on the way, and gradually opened a certain gap with Frankie Fredericks.

One hundred and fifty meters, one hundred and sixty meters, one hundred and seventy meters…

In the Olympic Stadium where the atmosphere is not very warm, a group of Chinese spectators cheered enthusiastically.

Su Zu took the lead on the straight and has already achieved an absolute advantage.

Yang Jian and Han Shengqiao were sitting in the audience at the same time, standing up and applauding enthusiastically.

Chinese athletes, running to the first place in the Olympic Games, whether it is the preliminaries or the finals, will always touch their hearts.

Today's 200m preliminaries were not broadcast on CCTV, but the two live commentators were not idle, but made a special trip to watch the preliminaries in the audience. One is to cheer on their players, and the other is to better understand the information of the players in each group, and reserve more materials for the live broadcast of the semi-finals and finals tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

"Great, Suzu!"

In the event of 200 meters and 400 meters, if you enter the final sprint distance, if you have an absolute lead, it is almost difficult to be overtaken.

Especially 200 meters, the whole first half of the more than 100 meters is running at full speed, once it exceeds 150 meters, you have established an advantage, as long as you keep the speed and sprint to the finish line, it is very It's hard for anyone to catch up.

Also, this is just a preliminaries, so it doesn't matter if someone catches up to this point.

"Suzu started to let go."

In the last ten or twenty meters, Yang Jian could clearly see that Su Zu's running movements began to deform.

Han Shengqiao nodded and looked excited, "It should be, the intensity of the race is too strong, if you don't let it go, I'm afraid he won't be able to support his physical strength later."

While the two of them applauded and chatted, on the race schedule, Su Zu had already run the final distance first.

Cross the line!

Suzu crossed the 200m finish line first, followed by Frankie Fredericks, the two-time Olympic silver medalist in the 100m and 200m.

20 ​​seconds 50!

Su Zu turned his head and glanced at the results on the timing board, put his hands on his hips, let out a long breath, raised his head and waved to the audience who had been cheering for him.

Yang Guangzong, who had been watching the game beside him, was even more excited than Su Zu, so he ran over and gave him a hug.

"We're all finalists!"

Yang Guangzong patted Su Zu on the shoulder and laughed loudly. After all, this is his specialty, and in the Olympics, it is a huge comfort and encouragement to have interdependent companions.

"Thank you, everyone, for your support!"

Su Zu and Yang Guangzong hugged lightly, walked to the vicinity of the audience area holding the five-star red flag, shook hands with a few people, and waved to the audience in the back row.

"Suzu, well done!"

"Suzu, come on!"

"Suzu, you are our pride!"

Sounds rang out one by one, this area where a lot of Chinese spectators gathered, the spectators who came to see his game, all shouted excitedly.

In such a hot sun, standing for a while will make people feel unbearably hot, not to mention the tens of thousands of spectators in the entire Olympic Stadium gathered together, if not really support, who will come suffer this sin.

Seeing Su Zu shaking hands with the people in the front row of the audience, Yang Guangzong also walked over. On the Olympic field, two Chinese athletes entered the finals again in the men's 200m event, and He also walked in front of everyone, and the crowd boiled.

"Come on, back to the lounge!"

After briefly interacting with the audience, Yang Guangzong said to Su Zu.

"Brother Yang, wait a minute, I want to watch the next group of games." Su Zu shook his head and said.

Yang Guangzong was stunned for a moment, then said, "Is there an opponent you are concerned about?"

"Yes!" Su Zu nodded solemnly and sighed in his heart, "Even if he is not an opponent this time, he will definitely be in the future."

While the two of them were talking, the third group of preliminaries left the track, and the fourth group of preliminaries emerged from the tunnel, and under the arrangement of the referee and guide, they each walked on their own Track, warm-up and check-up before the final race.

Su Zu and Yang Guangzong stood in a corner of the arena, observing the players in this group.

Different from the 100-meter event, in the 200-meter and 400-meter races, there are also quite a few white European and American players participating, but at this time, Su Zu’s attention is worthy of attention, but only the fifth track is far taller A black teenager who surpassed his peers.

Born on August 21, 1986, 5 months older than Su Zu, in today's game, he is a teenager who just turned 17 years old. At this time, apart from being in Jamaica, he is far from Can attract the attention of the world field.

In Yang Guangzong's somewhat puzzled look, Su Zu almost stared at the fourth group of preliminaries. This was the first time to watch the opponent's game at close range. All come carefully.

Su Zu looked at the black boy looking left and right from time to time, exhaling with a puffed mouth, obviously a little nervous and anxious.

Before the final start, make the iconic cross on your chest, then bend your head and get ready to start.

The gunshots of the game slammed, and all the players started to get up and run.

"Slow start."

Although I didn't see the starting reaction time, but based on the long-term observation time, Su Zu could see that in this group, his starting reaction time was slow.

After all, he is about 1.9 meters tall. Before he changed the coach and continuously strengthened the core strength of his waist and abdomen, his reaction speed at the start was far from reaching the peak state of his later generations.

However, he was never known for his quick start.

On the field, the players in the fourth group of the preliminaries began to speed up the corners, and Su Zu's eyes kept moving with the voices in the game.

In the starting distance of less than ten or twenty meters, the Japanese player Ryo Matsuda in the fourth track seemed to have relapsed from an old injury, and his running speed was far behind the others.

And Su Zu's eyes have been staring at the figure of the fifth road, and the speed has been maintained well in the first 100 meters of corners. But when it came to the section where the curve entered the straight, it began to gradually fall behind and was pulled away by others.

"Sure enough, I was injured."

In the final straight stage, obviously his speed could not be fully maintained. For a sprinter who can run 200 meters in 20 seconds and 400 meters in about 45 seconds this year, Totally incredible.

Su Zu could see that the necklace on his neck bounced up with the movement of running, and was bitten tightly in his mouth by him.

At about 130 meters, he was overtaken by Joseph Batanton of Cameroon in the sixth lane, and was overtaken by Hungarian Paul Geza in the eighth lane at about 180 meters. And overtook again in the last ten meters.

Cross the line!

20 ​​seconds 63, this is the result of the first Polish white player in the fourth group of the preliminaries.

And then the fifth result played on the screen was 21.05 seconds, fifth in the group.

In the area near the finish line, a tall 17-year-old black teenager squatted on the track with a frown, while a cameraman was running up to him with his equipment, as if he wanted to take a shot of his lost expression .

He waved his hand and ran away from the field.
