Run Out of My Life

When the eight finalists, including Su Zu, followed the guide into the Olympic Stadium, a sudden, overwhelming screeching sound almost pierced people's eardrums.

"Are these viewers...?"

"Call-"

The high-pitched shriek was followed by a loud booing.

The booing started from a small part of the corner of the audience in the stands, and then spread out, from the south of the auditorium to the back of the stand, until the entire stadium was covered with this huge boo Completely shrouded in sound. This is how many times louder than the previous cheers and cheers, it is simply deafening.

The eight finalists who just stepped onto the field looked at each other and were almost stunned.

This 200-meter event started from the preliminaries. The Greek audience was not friendly, but everything was still within an acceptable range. After all, everyone knew what happened. It is understandable for the audience to protest against the Olympic committee, but the huge boos before the 200m final was completely unexpected.

Su Zu raised his head and looked around. It was already past ten o'clock in the evening. Maybe the lights in the middle of the Olympic Stadium were too bright. .

There are only various waving flags, banners, light sticks and other objects that make people dizzy. For a while, I have seen Chinese audiences waving red flags and cheering for Su Zu several times before. Also indistinguishable.

In this kind of audience, more than 60,000 people were local Greek audiences, and the cheering voices of the small Chinese audience were almost completely covered up.

Su Zu walked around for a while amid the loud noise, before finally noticing that a red flag was fluttering near the 200-meter finish line in the auditorium.

became anxious.

There is a pervasive noise in the ears, and other sounds are almost completely inaudible.

In the past, no matter how enthusiastic the competition scene was, the screams and boos were only occasional, not like today. After the eight athletes entered the arena, it was like a tsunami. Did not mean to stop.

Su Zu glanced left and right, and the black athletes who were easily emotional were also frowning tightly, obviously disturbed by the boundless boos and shouts. Especially Asafa Powell from Jamaica, Su Zu noticed that a lot of sweat suddenly appeared on the other party's forehead, and his lips moved slightly, obviously saying something.

"Please keep the audience quiet! Watch the game civilized!"

"Please keep the audience quiet! Watch the game civilized!"

The broadcast of the conference heard the persuasive voice of the conference host in Greek and English several times, but it was completely useless and almost ignored, and the sound became louder and louder.

"Kentress—"

"Kentress—"

"Kentress—"

After a series of boos, the voice of a name was suddenly chanted in unison in the stadium of 60,000 to 70,000 people, like a wave.

The eight athletes stood on the track and looked at each other, almost completely unable to carry out a normal game. The starter and the referee group had to prolong the time of this final due to the huge noise.

Competition under such conditions, athletes can hardly hear the gunshots at the start, and the whole person's mood and state fluctuations are greatly affected.

“…Now that our athletes have begun to enter the field, the atmosphere of the scene…”

The audience standing in front of the TV, almost immediately after seeing the athletes entering the stadium, heard a loud shrill whistle transmitted through the screen, and then the screen was urgently switched back by the director In the studio of the Imperial Capital, the two hosts, a man and a woman, were obviously caught off guard. They paused for a while, and organized their language to introduce the situation ahead to the audience in front of the camera.

"There was a huge boo at the scene just now, the game was temporarily delayed, and our director temporarily switched the screen back."

"The main reason for this is that the former Greek 200-meter star and Sydney Olympic champion Kentris missed the Olympics because he missed a drug test before the opening ceremony... Now tens of thousands of spectators in Greece are in Shouting Kentris' name in protest."

"Let's analyze the finalists of this group. In this group of competitions, Su Zu faced all the top sprinters in the world. Many of them have played against each other. of."

"Yes, like Sean Crawford and Obi Keweilu in the 60-meter competition of the indoor world championships earlier this year, Su Zu once won them, then At one time it seemed like Sean Crawford was second."

"Speaking of this, it was said that Su Zu ran too fast after winning the championship and almost rushed out of the competition area..."

The two hosts in the studio began to chat without words, introducing the athletes of this final and some related gossip anecdotes, trying to divert the attention of the audience in front of the TV as much as possible.

When countless spectators in front of the TV saw the picture in front of them, many people felt bad. The scene of this game was not like a track and field match at all, but it was like many football matches.

Sure enough, after waiting for about ten minutes, the screen in front of the TV switched back to the Athens Olympic Stadium again.

"The game resumes, the athletes are preparing for the game, oh, the first course Asafa Powell retired."

The voice of Yang Jian, the live commentator, sounded, and the harsh screams and boos in the background were still there, but they were much smaller than at the beginning.

In the shot, the athletes walked back onto the track, adjusting their final state one by one.

The loud noise just now has caused many athletes to be overwhelmed, and the most unexpected one is Jamaican player Asafa Powell. Abandoned the game.

As the time progressed, on the big screen and TV screen of the Olympic Stadium, the arrangement of the eight finalists appeared.

First course, Asafa, Powell;

Second course, Obikveiro, Portugal;

Third Road, Justin Gatling, USA;

The Fourth Road, Sean Crawford, USA;

The Fifth Road, Suzu, China;

Sixth Road, Bernard Williams, USA;

Seventh Road, Stefan Buckland, Mauritius;

Track Eight, Frankie Fredericks, Namibia;

“Onyourmarks”

The on-site referee starter reminds the athletes to take their place through the sound of the loudspeaker.

The audience in front of the TV and the audience at the scene could hardly hear the referee's password. On the screen, they just saw the athletes suddenly and uniformly walking onto the starting block.

Su Zu took a deep breath, calmed down some restless emotions, and forced himself to calm down.

This kind of huge booing and noise stimulation really belongs to the first time. He didn't know if he had been booed in foreign competitions before. The sprinter was on the field, and he was so focused that he couldn't take it into account most of the time.

But this time, there were almost 60,000 or 70,000 spectators in the entire stadium. Boos and screams broke out at the same time. There was absolutely no way to get rid of the interference.

After bending over and squatting down, Su Zu glanced at the curved track in front of him, then lowered his head and silently looked at the starting line pressed by his fingers, constantly focusing his attention, putting his body and The spirits are raised to a state of best preparation.

After yesterday's semi-final, he already felt a little tired, and several negative attributes in the system also reminded him that the continuous competition caused a lot of load to the body.

However, the continuous massage before going to bed, and the use of massage before the game to replace the usual warm-up that requires a lot of physical energy, the effect is still very good.

At this time, he can clearly feel that his mind and body are in a peak state. Even if he was disturbed by the noisy noise, he calmed down and quickly entered the state.

"Don't think too much, just run as hard as you can!"

Empty, maintaining the highest level of focus from the inside out.

"SET!" The starter's ready voice sounded.

At the same time, the audience saw the athlete change from a squatting state to a starting position. They understood that the gunshots were going to start immediately, and they began to shout again.

But at this time, neither the referee nor the starter can stop the game again and still fire the order.

Pop!

The match guns sounded.

Su Zu was listening to the sound of gunfire almost all the time, until he heard the sound of gunfire before starting to run out.

His start was undoubtedly slow, but the other athletes were basically in the same situation. The seven players on the field were greatly disturbed by the noise on the field, and the reaction time of the start was short. relatively slow.

Among the seven finalists, Bernard Williams was the fastest with a reaction time of 0.173 seconds. The second place is Suzu and Obikwelu, both of which are 0.183 seconds.

Steffan Buckland in the seventh lane and Frankie Fredericks in the eighth lane, the two may be closer to the auditorium, and the interference is more large, the reaction time is slower. Among them, Frankie Fredericks' reaction time was 0.245 seconds, and Stefan Buckland reached an exaggerated 0.294 seconds.

Running fast.

Fifty meters…

Being among the three American players, Su Zu felt the speed of the explosion of several people.

He is the fifth lane, and Sean Crawford is the fourth lane. As soon as the acceleration phase of the first tens of meters is over, he feels Sean Crawford is rapidly approaching The distance from him, and the speed of Bernard Williams in the sixth lane in front of him was not slow at all, and the speed displayed was completely different from what Su Zu saw in the semifinals.

And because Su Zu ran ahead, he couldn't detect Justin Gatlin in the third lane. After the start, his speed was extremely fast, almost catching up with Sean Crawford.

Frankie Fredericks of the other eighth lane, this veteran was equally astonishing in the first half of the race, and always maintained the distance brought by the number of stretches he advanced in the lane, trying his best to Not surpassed by other players.

Seventy meters, eighty meters, ninety meters…

Obike Viru, who was running in the second lane, started to exert his strength with the advantage of 1.91 meters in height and leg length, and kept shortening the distance with other players.

Su Zu felt that Sean Crawford was getting closer and closer to him. Straight and Sean Crawford continued to exert their strength, and the distance between the two was only more than one meter.

Su Zu stared at the track in front of him intently, without the slightest panic, he has been firmly stabilizing his rhythm. At this time, a fast athlete suddenly chased by his side. It is easy for the players in front to disrupt their rhythm.

That way, you won't be able to play to your advantage.

The rhythm is chaotic. For a project like 200 meters, it is difficult to run again in the second half. If you are a little nervous and relaxed, your opponent will go out a few meters away. Think again It is impossible to catch up, even if you are overtaken, you have to hold on.

Similarly, as the curve gets closer to the distance of the straight, the positions of all the players are getting closer, and the position of each pass has begun to see the outline.

"At the beginning of the race, everyone seemed to be hesitant to start. After the start, Gatling and Obekwelu were in the lead. Shawnford was accelerating, and he ran to the first place. Position, Su Zu has been stabilizing his rhythm..."

In front of the TV, everyone was energized at the moment the athlete started, and their eyes were fixed on the screen almost motionless.

After the athletes started, the piercing boos gradually diminished, and occasionally they could hear a few cheers.

In the blink of an eye, the corner went straight.

I entered the most critical stage of the 200-meter race, and the positions of the players in each pass began to become clear at this time.

One hundred and eleven meters, one hundred and twelve meters…

Into the straight!

The audience at the scene and in front of the TV can clearly see the position of each athlete.

The number one is Sean Crawford, although his 100m strength is not as good as Justin Gatlin, but he still relies on superb cornering skills and straight into the final corner. In the later stage, he made his efforts to surpass, and he is now running in the first position.

The second is Justin Gatlin, he is the 100m champion, the speed of 100m is undoubtedly the fastest, only less than one position behind Sean Crawford distance.

Third was Bernard Williams, who was equally astonishing in this group, three American athletes in the distance between 110 and 120 meters , occupying an almost absolute dominance.

straight.

The sixth is the Namibian veteran Frankie Fredericks. His speed in the first half is also very fast. The gap between Suzu and Obikveru is also half a size smaller.

The last one is Stefan Buckland. He was affected by the slow start. When facing the fastest athletes in the 200 meters, even if he chased hard, he could not catch up.

Once entering the straight, Yang Jian, the live commentator, and the audience in front of the TV knew that this was the distance Su Zu was best at. One by one, their eyes widened in anticipation.

Sure enough, after entering the straight, they ran fiercely for more than 110 meters. At this stage, the athletes in the final began to compete for speed and endurance.

Su Zu was still running at the highest speed on the way. After entering the straight, he and Obikviru had a stalemate of less than ten meters, and had already surpassed each other.

The voice of Yang Jian, the on-site commentator, was almost instantly ignited by the excitement brought by Su Zu's rapid surpassing, "Su Zu, Su Zu caught up with Obikweilu, Su Zu also Chasing... he's neck and neck with Bernard Williams, come on, Suzu!..."

140m, 150m, 160m…

Su Zu's speed increased to the extreme, and after a short stalemate with Obikviru, he surpassed the opponent and caught up with Bernard Williams, who was still in third place.

At this time, Frankie Fredericks, who was in the eighth lane, was also chasing fast, and gradually caught up with Obikveru from the backward position.

Just a bit.

In the 200-meter project, the distance of several positions is often something that may be exceeded in an instant.

One hundred and seventy meters, one hundred and eighty meters…

The scene is boiling.

Countless spectators who were still booing and screaming just now were also attracted by the fierce competition on the field.

Expanded to an advantage of a meter or two.

Su Zu started chasing all the way from the fourth and fifth positions. At this time, he has reached the second position, surpassing Justin Gatlin, and is gradually chasing Sean Crawford.

Behind him, Bernard Williams' speed also seemed to be stimulated by Suzu, and he also gradually caught up at this distance, already running side by side with Gatlin.

"Suzu, come on!"

"Go, go!"

"Come on, catch him!"

Countless cheers from the Olympic Stadium in Athens to the audience in front of the domestic TV, one by one, clenched their fists and gritted their teeth, all cheering for Su Zu on the field at the moment!

A figure in red sportswear, mixed with three black players in white USA sportswear, is particularly bright and eye-catching, attracting the attention of almost all Chinese.

One hundred and ninety meters…

The distance between Su Zu and Sean Crawford is getting closer and closer. this gap.

195m…197m…199m…

Cross the line!

"Su Zu, Su Zu is chasing, he is already in second place, he is chasing Sean Crawford."

The host of the live commentary, Yang Jian, was almost all excited. After abruptly rising, it slowly lowered, and said with a lot of annoyance and pity, "Oh, the last 200 The finish line is here, Suzu takes the silver, and Sean Crawford comes first."

After Su Zu crossed the finish line, he ran forward habitually, looked at Sean Crawford beside him, and let out a long breath.

If you can give him another ten meters, maybe he can catch up with Sean Crawford, but now, in the end, it is still a little short.

As the seven athletes crossed the finish line one after another, everyone's speed gradually slowed down, their chest and abdomen rose and fell violently, panting heavily.

On the runway, Sean Crawford was half-squatting on the ground, raising his head and staring at the big screen at the scene, behind him Su Zu supported his knees and looked at the screen with the same eyes .

1. Fourth course, Sean Crawford, USA, reaction 0.226, score 19.79;

2. Fifth Road, Su Zu, China, reaction 0.183, score 19.96;

3. The sixth track, Bernard Williams, United States, reaction 0.173, score 20 seconds 01;

4. The third course, Justin Gatlin, USA, reaction 0.195, score 20 seconds 03;

5. Eighth course, Frankie Fredericks, Namibia, reaction 0.248, score 20 seconds 14;

6. The second course, Obikvelu, Portugal, reaction 0.183, score 20 seconds 14;

7. Seventh track, Stefan Buckland, Mauritius, reaction 0.294, score 20.24;

8. First course, Asafa Powell, Jamaica, no response, results DNS;

"Athletes at the scene are waiting for the final results of the competition. After breaking the Asian record in the 100m, Su Zu broke the Asian record in the 200m again, and was the first 100m to break the 10-second mark. A non-black athlete who ran the 200m under the 20-second mark.

Su Zu won the bronze medal in the 100 meters from the 100 meters to the silver medal in the 200 meters again. He is still very young, only seventeen years old now, we have reason to believe that he will achieve even better results in the 2008 Beijing Olympics in the future, let us wait and see..."

In Yang Jian's commentary, the seven finalists who had seen their respective achievements on the field stood up and hugged and shook hands with each other.

The 200m final is over.

Although the result was not a gold medal, not as good as everyone expected, this silver medal has not come easily.

The first Chinese athlete to run under 20 seconds in the 200 meters broke the Asian record of 20 seconds 03 set by Susu Shengo and improved this record by 0.07 seconds.

At this time, the audience at the scene booed again after the players' results came out, and it seemed that they had returned to the beginning of the game.

The 200-meter final was over, and the champion, runner-up, and third place were born, and none of them were Greek athletes, who originally had a previous Olympic champion.

In the huge boos, Su Zu walked up to Sean Crawford and wished him: "Congratulations, Sean, you are the champion."

Sean Crawford spread his hands, indicating that he could not hear clearly, there was almost overwhelming boos in the stadium, which is absolutely nothing to be happy about for an athlete who has just won a championship .

Su Zu patted Sean Crawford on the shoulder and smiled, the black athlete has always been admired by him.

In another time and space in the 200m final of the 2008 Olympic Games, there was something very profound about Su Zu.

name. The original second place went to American Wallace Spearmont, and the third place went to Curanti Martina of the Netherlands Antilles.

After the 200m final, the second-placed Wallace Spearmont was disqualified by the referee for a track foul. After the U.S. delegation protested, the on-site referee took the video of the entire event and found that Wallace Spearmont had indeed violated the rules, but Kuranti Martina, who placed third, also had a line violation. the behavior of.

Instead of protesting a foul by their athlete Wallace Spearmont, the U.S. delegation protested Curanti Martina's infraction.

The results are self-evident, the second and third place Wallace Spearmont and Curanti Martina were cancelled, and the fourth and fifth place Sean Crawford, both in the United States De and Walter Dix became runners-up and third.

And on August 28, 2008, Sean Crawford, under pressure from the US delegation, presented his silver medal to Curanti Martina with great sportsmanship.

Sean Crawford's performance at that time really made Su Zu feel that this is a respectable sportsman. As for the issue of illegal drugs, there is really no way to say it clearly, almost The entire U.S. track and field world has been plagued by drugs, and athletes who can achieve results are involved. This is not a personal issue anymore.

On the field, the last athletes hug each other and express their blessings.

The men's 200m final of the 28th Athens Olympic Games came to an end amid the boos.
