At this time, next to the field, two athletes who are also black are watching the group of Prefontaine Classic men's 100-meter sprint race.

"Tyson, who do you think will win?"

Wallace Spearmon flicked his pigtails and looked at the spectators around him, and then at the men's 100-meter runway. This is Eugene, not the University of Kentucky they are familiar with, there are so many track and field stars, even though they are already famous in the NCAA, ranking in the 100m and 200m in the United States, but there is a lack of world-class competitions, and there are not many people who really know the two.

After all, NCAA track and field events are far less influential than basketball and football, and they are star-level treatment.

"Obicviru, this Portuguese is very strong." Tyson Gay's eyes swept over the athletes on the starting line one by one, and when he saw the third runner with a different skin color, he hesitated slightly, and said, "And the Chinese who looks very young, I read the report that he ran 9.90 seconds in Japan after the Olympics last year, and he may have a chance." ”

"Obikviru? He might have run away again. Spearmon laughed, the news of Obikviru's dismissal in the 100m final of last year's Olympics has spread all over the sports world, and Wallace Spearmon has always regarded this as a joke.

said, his eyes were the same as Tyson Gaye, he fell to the third position of the starting line, and grinned, "These Chinese guys are really freaks, is it easy to have one or two such geniuses when there are too many people, like Yao, the Liu in the 110-meter hurdles, and the current one, it's unbelievable." ”

"A genius can appear when there are many people?" Tyson Gay glanced at Spearmon, "What about India, there are a lot of them." ”

"Uh......" Spearmon chuckled dryly, slightly embarrassed for a moment.

Although the two are athletes, they also went to the University of Kentucky on sports scholarships, and they are not as ignorant as ordinary old black, like Tyson Gay studied sociology and marketing, and his grades are not said to be good, but they still have some understanding of the entire international community.

Even in the most talented sprint events, it is never a one-man affair for an athlete to achieve results and rise in the world sports arena. It is a complete selection process, the embodiment of comprehensive strength.

For example, he Tyson Gaye, whose parents were both athletes, later met famous teachers, and relied on the powerful resources of the University of Kentucky to get to where he is today.

Wallace Spearmon is the same with a father who won bronze in the 200m at the 1987 Pan American Games, and has a family upbringing, attending Fayetteville Christian College, one of the top schools in the country, and the University of Kentucky. Athletics sprints have earned them the favor of good schools, and in the same way, good school conditions have given them great support in their training.

"That Chinese Sue, will you also participate in the 200 meters later?" Spearmon was scolded by Tyson Gay, flicking his pigtails and starting to pay attention to Suzu.

"With him, I want to run with this athlete too." Tyson Gay nodded. Being able to compete with high-level athletes is one thing that every athlete thinks, and there is a very intuitive situation in the track and field field, that is, the stronger the competitive opponent, the more extraordinary the performance can often be driven.

As the two spoke, a huge cheer erupted from the stands near the side of the track, because there were many American athletes and the cheering crowd was enthusiastic, not to mention that in Eugene, the city of track and field, the most anticipated men's 100-meter final was about to begin, and the waves were like a tide.

"Wow, the 100-meter event is still the most popular, I want to try the 100-meter event." Spearmon looked at the crowd on the sidelines and exclaimed exaggeratedly.

"Yes, in athletics, only the 100 meters attract the most attention."

Tyson Gay nodded, although he has a 100-meter run, but the main event is still 200 meters. The U.S. men's 100m is far more competitive than any other track and field event. But seeing such an atmosphere on the field at this time, he couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart.

"Hey man, I think you should consider trying to run 100 meters." Spearmon suddenly said to Tyson Gay, "I know you've had that idea too, and your start wasn't great, but it's much better than me, and you've run 6.55 seconds in the 60 meters, it's totally worth the shot." ”

Tyson Gay watched as the crowd fell silent as the runners stepped onto the starting gear and prepared to take their seats.

His current best time in the 100m is 10.06 seconds, which he ran at the 2004 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. Compared to the current series of sprinters in the United States who can enter the 10-second mark, it is naturally not low, but the focus of his training has always been on the 200m or even 400m.

His speed and endurance in the second half of the race have always been evaluated by his coach as the most suitable for the 200m and 400m, but seeing the popularity of the 100m on the spot, he still has such a thought in his heart.

"Perhaps, I should really focus on the 100 meters."

……

Before the starting line, Su Zu's expression became a little cautious, since the final of the Athens Olympics, this time he felt a relatively stressful race.

Even last year's All-Star Game in Yokohama, Japan, where he faced Justin Gatlin and Morris Green for the second time, didn't feel that way.

After all, it is a matter of mentality, with the psychological pressure given from inside and outside, I unconsciously changed my attitude towards the game.

So I want to win the game, but if there is no opponent who is strong enough, where can I show the best state and completely lift people's spirits!

Su Zu was concentrating all his energy at this moment, under pressure, and equally motivated, allowing him to put all his focus into the game.

This time the Prefontein Classic in Eugene was no longer the same as it was in Osaka, where Asia was almost his home stadium, with few opponents who could score 10 seconds except for one Leonard Scott.

In this group, no matter how arrogant Su Zu is, the other players don't pay attention to it. But Francis Obiqueru, the Portuguese, was enough for Suzu to give the most attention. He is one of the strongest athletes in the men's 100m at the moment.

Had Francis Obikoviru not been sent off in the 100m at last year's Athens Olympics, he would have finished second behind Justin Gatlin, who could have run 9.86 seconds in the 100m.

To win, to face Obikviru, this game is the final arena.

Syllable!

Race guns rang out!

On both sides of the field, countless magnesium lights crackled at the same time, all capturing the athletes' momentary starting movements.

The camera camera is focused on all the players, this is the recording team of Eugene's local TV station, where the annual Prefontaine Classic is highly followed. It is even possible that the United States or other broadcasters will later pay to buy the footage of these games.

Su Zu's feet kicked on the starting gear suddenly, and in an instant, his arms swung and he stepped forward.

The results of months of training are evident at this moment, and the starting reaction is not necessarily much faster than before, but the starting action is more crisp and crisp than before.

The increased flexibility allows him to start on his legs more smoothly and pedal with just the right amount of power.

One step, two steps, three steps...... No flags were raised, no whistles sounded, no one rushed.

The race went off without a hitch.

The sixth lane Obi Keviru has a height of 1.9 meters, and because of his height, he starts slower than other competitors in the 100-meter race, so he often makes up for this disadvantage in the form of a pressure gun.

But there is always a risk of running with a gun, and after suffering a major setback in the 100m final in Athens last year, Obikviru really learned his lesson, and has been strengthening his starting practice for more than half a year, instead of thinking about running with a gun like before.

So, this time he controlled the gun without pressing, and although the start speed was a little slow, for him, no fouls were the best start.

The fastest start was still Leonard Scott, an athlete who walked back and forth between track and soccer, and gradually regained his competitive form as a sprinter in one race after another.

The start reaction is faster than before, and the most advantageous starting speed is maintained.

John Capel, the best football catcher in the country, has the best reflexes and the ability to run to match his reflexes.

In addition, like the fourth Kobe Miller on the right side of Suzu, he is the third baton of the American men's 4×100m relay, in addition to having excellent cornering ability, he is by no means weaker than others in terms of starting speed.

For a while, the eight athletes on the field stepped on the starting machine together, and the fast start almost made the audience hold their breath and forget the cheers.

Fast, really fast!

The speed exploded in an instant, like a galloping horse on the racetrack that opened the gate at the same time and jumped out, soaring and unstoppable.

Accelerating from a standstill to the highest speed, this process is full of indescribable masculinity, strength and speed beauty.

In the first 20 meters, except for Davis Barton and Kim Collins, who have a disadvantage that is almost impossible to distinguish with the naked eye, the other six are in a state of complete neck-to-neck.

Twenty meters, thirty meters......

Gradually, the difference in speed between the eight competitors began to be revealed.

At the top of the race was Leonard Scott, who had just run 6.46 seconds in the 60m in Levin, France, and was fast enough in the first half of the race.

Of the eight players present, Su Zu could fight with him at 60 meters, but in the front 30 meters, Su Zu couldn't outrun each other. Superior reaction speed and fast cadence acceleration are completely natural, with the qualities of a top sprinter.

Suzu was almost half a body behind Leonard, and next to him was Kobe Miller in lane four, the third-best runner in the relay, and the first half of the race was also amazing.

After 30 meters, it enters the high-speed stage of running on the way.

Su Zu's 100-meter running method was originally not aimed at starting fast, but mainly for full acceleration, and after 30 meters, the speed gradually increased.

Like Suzu, the other Obikviru and Kim Collins, who had started behind in front, were also accelerating. Especially Obi Keviru, who is tall and has long legs, although the start is not fast enough, compared to Su Zu, who is about 185 tall, and several other American players who are 175 and 180, Obi Keviru will have a great advantage in the second half of the middle and second half once the speed is added.

Obikviru's endurance in the middle and second half of the race is not very good, but in the 100-meter sprint, with his long stride, it is already the best in the world.

Forty meters, fifty meters......

Suzu's pace began to enter the peak stage of running on the way, and as in the previous All-Star Game and the Osaka Grand Prix, Suzu caught up with Leonard Scott, who was running in first place, and ran to first place.

Su Zu's pace is fast, and after the winter training, the stride length has been fully expanded.

Suzu is followed by Obikwiru, a Nigerian-natural-naturalized Portuguese player who is at the peak of his form and has been gradually distanced by the rest of the players.

The audience in the stands had already exclaimed at this time, and at a distance of fifty meters, it was already obvious that Su Zu stood out from the front and many players, and the four American stars were all surpassed.

This is not a middle-distance running, there is a back-and-forth of transcendence, anti-transcendence, and overtaking. They are all top athletes, and the distance of a hundred meters is passed in the blink of an eye. Once you are overtaken, you can basically only eat ashes behind your ass, and it is impossible to give you a chance to catch up.

Sixty meters, seventy meters......

At this time, the form on the runway gradually became clear.

The first is Su Zu, and the second is Obi Keviru, the gap between the two is extremely small, and the distance between them is half a body.

Third is Leonard Scott, who has improved quickly after regaining his competitive form. The two men were about a lot behind.

Behind Kobe Miller, Davis Barton, and Kim Collins bit tightly, and at the back are John Capel, Kim Collins, and Aziz Zachary.

Eighty meters, ninety meters......

The finish line is just around the corner.

Su Zu didn't look at the player next to him, but just when he was running, he could vaguely feel that there was someone next to him.

It's fast, and it's been biting him tightly.

In this group of races, Su Zu had no place to relax at all, and maintained the greatest concentration from starting to accelerating to sprinting.

Run, run, run!

It's the last ten meters!

No matter what time it is, you can't be overtaken!

Finish line!

Two figures passed by as quickly as a wind.

9.88 seconds!

After Su Zu ran across the finish line, he caught a glimpse of the results on the timing board, ran more than a dozen steps in a buffer, and slowly stopped.

"Win?"

Suzu turned his head to look at the finish line referee, and at the same time, Obi Keviru, who was in lane six, also confirmed to the referee. The gap between the two is very small, and there are a few passes apart, so it is not possible to confirm what each other's grades are.

"Sue!"

A familiar word sounded.

Su Zu suddenly clenched his fists, shouted, and ran wildly on the runway next to the stands, and in the flickering magnesium lights, Su Zu suddenly stopped.

He did a backflip on the spot, and after landing steadily, he raised his hands in the air to signal to the audience.

In 9.88 seconds, Suzu was forced by Obikviru to finally run more than his previous two times.

9.89 seconds, that's Obikviru's time, and although he didn't win the championship, his time was dazzling enough. Moreover, it was his first competition after suffering a major loss, and in 2005 he had his sights set on the World Championships.

On the sidelines of the field, the spectators in the stands on both sides stood up and applauded enthusiastically. Looking at this young exotic player with a smile on his face, he looked excited.

Spectators in Athletics City, of all colors and ethnicities, never hesitate to give the champions the utmost applause and cheers, which is the spirit of the city.

"Champion, another champion."

Su Zu looked at the audience who applauded him from the stands, and the feeling in his heart was indescribable.

Spanning thousands of miles in a foreign land, he once again won the first place and won applause.

Standing on the track, watching the audience and the crowd of reporters, Su Zu inadvertently remembered the women's 800-meter race that was about to start after the men's 100-meter battle.

The organizers of the tournament put together two heavyweight tournaments, and the intention is self-evident, and the biggest attraction is the audience's attention.

And what Su Zu thought at this time was that the legendary athlete who created a 12-year winning streak in the women's 800m of the Prefontaine Classic was really amazing.

Is it possible that one day, I can also create such a legend?

At a certain event, leave a trace of yourself that cannot be erased!

……

At the moment when Su Zu won the men's 100-meter championship in Eugene, Su Zu didn't know that there were two 200-meter runners watching him on the sidelines.

They were looking forward to a 200-meter battle against Suzu in 15 minutes.
