May 12, Khalifa International Stadium.

Khalifa International Stadium, also known as the National Stadium, is part of the Doha Sports City complex. In order to host the Asian Games at the end of this year, Khalifa Sports City underwent a comprehensive renovation and expansion in 2005 in order to increase its capacity from 20,000 to 40,000.

As one of the most important sporting events leading up to this year's Asian Games, the Qatar Athletics Grand Prix is naturally appealing. Coupled with the affluence of Qatar, the number of spectators who came to the Khalifa International Stadium to watch the game was quite large, and more than 30,000 people sat in the seats of 40,000 people.

"Sue, I heard that you took a special approach to training during your winter training?"

In the check-in area, Su Zu and Justin Gatlin were warming up, and Gatlin greeted Su Zu after running a set of acceleration runs.

"Sub-altitude training." Su Zu stood on one foot, grabbed the ankle of his right leg with his right hand, and gently stretched the tendons, "The main thing is to exercise long-distance speed endurance, and I am relatively lacking in this regard." ”

"No, no, Su Zu, I think your speed and endurance are very good, when you run 200 meters, you maintain a faster ability than me. At 100 meters, you're just running out of power, and you can be like me and keep it at the start for the final sprint. Gatling danced and made a running motion.

Su Zu smiled, "Justin, didn't you say that your technical characteristics have not been analyzed by everyone?" ”

"That's just as well." Gatlin scratched his head, smiling and revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

Everyone is a top sprinter, and basically the technical characteristics of each other have been analyzed by the coaching staff, and everyone knows their running skills well.

"But, Justin, I think the sub-altitude training, the effect should be good, I think I've improved."

"You look like it, too." Gatlin glanced Su Zu up and down, "Su, you seem to be stronger than before." ”

Su Zu nodded, "Yes, I have strengthened my personal strength training, as well as speed endurance, so that I can better support my speed, otherwise my body may not be able to support my burst." ”

"That's right, Leonard, this year's indoor results have been very good, and he's stepped up his strength training." As he spoke, Gatlin gestured to Leonard Scott, who was warming up for the game on the other side.

In Suzu's memory, there are almost no memories of Scott, and few people in later generations will notice the sprinter who was active between '04-'08.

Despite his prowess and ability to run under 10 seconds on a regular basis, he has no other heavyweight awards and no world record than this year's indoor 60m title.

"By the way, Justin, I have something to tell you." Su Zu looked at Justin Gatlin, who was still smiling at this time, before the competition, the two were opponents, but after a few fights, they can also be called friends.

"What?" Gatling was a little confused.

"I heard that you don't have a good relationship with your physiotherapist?"

"yes, that bastard......"

Su Zu interrupted Justin's grumbling and lowered his voice: "I heard that you may have a problem with the test during a race in Lawrence, Kansas in April this year, and I suggest that you should explain the situation to the Athletics Federation in advance." ”

As soon as Su Zu finished speaking, Justin Gatlin's face became even darker, his eyes were wide open, and he looked at Su Zu with some surprise and some suspicion.

"Sue, you're ......"

Seeing what Justin Gatlin wanted to say, Su Zu waved his hand and still whispered: "You know, you have been banned once, take it seriously." ”

After speaking, Su Zu no longer continued to talk to the other party, moved his body and ran to the track in the check-in area, and began to warm up and run.

For this kind of thing, Su Zu can only talk about it here. He chose to say this before the game, not to interfere with the other party, but after the game, no matter who wins, when the time comes, I am afraid that there will be no balance in his heart.

……

When Suzu stepped onto the Khalifa International Stadium, the biggest feeling was amazement.

The Khalifa International Stadium is an open-air stadium, and the room temperature should have exceeded 35°C at this time, and he just came out of the check-in area and didn't feel the slightest heat.

Although Su Zu had already heard Li Zhizhong and Zhang Pingqiu introduce the huge investment in the Khalifa International Stadium, only when people stand here can they really understand it.

As far as the stadium itself is concerned, this stadium is a masterpiece of high-tech, utilizing innovative cooling technology that can stabilize at around 26 degrees Celsius despite being an open-air venue, regardless of the temperature outside the stadium.

On Al Jazeera's English channel, as the camera focused on the runners on the track, the English of the TV commentator began to sound.

Al Jazeera's English-language channel broadcasts news and analysis of current affairs, documentaries, live debates, current affairs, finance and sports. After he entered the world's top 500 companies in 2006, he tapped many program hosts and news reporters from many well-known TV stations such as BBC and CNN with a high salary.

Ryan Owens is such a sports commentator who has been tapped with high salaries, and in preparation for the Asian Games in December, Qatar has offered him a salary three times higher than that of the original England.

His main commentary work is mainly some football matches in Europe and Asia, but he is also relatively experienced in track and field.

At this time, he used his subdued London accent to begin to introduce the runners on the track.

"The first is Francis Obikoviru from Portugal, the fastest runner in Europe at the moment, and he's also the tallest man on the court, at six feet five inches, but everyone knows that this is not the NBA, and being tall on the track doesn't necessarily mean being fast.

The second one, Olusoki Fasuba, from Nigeria, is said to be very interested in him by our Qatar Sports Authority, and if he becomes a Qatari athlete, it will not be good news for other Asian athletes.

The third lane, Leonard Scott from the United States, who is this year's indoor champion in the 60m, look at the strong muscles and you can see how fast he can run. He was also one of four men to have run 10 seconds in the 100 meters in today's race.

In the fourth lane, also the United States, Justin Gatlin, the men's 100m champion at the Athens Olympics and one of the fastest runners in the world, has a 50% chance of winning the prize money in this Grand Prix.

The fifth, from ...... Sue from China, why do I say that Justin Gatling only has a 50% chance of winning the prize, because, the other 50% chance is in Sue's hands. The current fastest runner in Asia is the double champion of the men's 100m and 200m at last year's World Championships.

Sixth, Kim Collins, a St. Kitts and Nevis athlete, I believe that friends who pay attention to track and field will definitely be no stranger. At the 2002 Commonwealth Games, Kim Collins ran the 10-second barrier, and in 2003 he won the men's 100m at the World Championships. Today he will also be a strong contender for our Qatar Athletics Super Grand Prix title.

In lane seven, Trinidad and Tobago's Mark Burns, who had already run the 10-second mark last year, sprinted to second place in the men's 100m event at the 2005 IAAF Golden League and won the World Athletics Finals.

Eighth, Jason Gardner, my fellow, the best sprinter in Great Britain, you must not underestimate him, although he is the oldest in the field, but he is very strong, I am a little selfish, I hope he can have a good performance. Of course, if he can win the championship, I am willing to run naked downstairs at the TV station. Ha ha......

Today's race was a tournament that brought together the world's top sprinters, but unfortunately our organising committee invited current men's 100m world record holder Asafa Powell to participate, but he refused. But even without Powell, today's lineup is enough to impress anyone, and that's the World Flyer Wars......"

On the sidelines of the arena, many members of the Suzu research team basically arrived at the scene at this time.

"Director Li, the lineup of players in this game is very strong!"

Zhang Pingqiu looked at the athletes who appeared on the field one by one, and as the Al Jazeera cameraman recorded each athlete one by one for a certain period of time, the scene had already begun to enter the stage of preparation.

Li Zhizhong frowned slightly and nodded, "It's not easier than the original Olympics and World Championships, after all, the Doha Grand Prix has a high prize money and can attract many outstanding athletes to compete." Now it's time to test the results of our training camp. ”

"Gatling looks murderous."

"Well, he should be in good shape. Of all these athletes, Gatlin has been in excellent form, especially when it comes to injuries. ”

While the two were talking, they suddenly heard a click next to them, and looked over along the sound, and saw Jiang Daheng holding a white plastic shell in his hand, looking at the two of them with some embarrassment.

"Master Jiang, who are you?" Zhang Pingqiu looked at the plastic shell in his hand, and then looked at the seat under him.

"I ...... I'm just curious. ”

Jiang Daheng pressed the plastic box in his hand back under the seat, and muttered, "It's really a Middle Eastern tyrant!" ”

A small air conditioner is installed under each seat at the Khalifa International Stadium site for uninterrupted cooling. Although it is a roofless stadium with an outdoor temperature of thirty or forty degrees, the inside of the stadium is cool and pleasant.

Li Zhizhong and Zhang Pingqiu glanced at Jiang Daheng and didn't care, at this time, their minds were all on the track and field.

With the introduction of the athletes one by one on the broadcast of the live conference, when Su Zu was introduced, several people applauded and cheered, and Su Zu in the audience was also not bad, and every time an athlete was introduced, a few cheers and applause would be given.

As the minutes ticked by, the cheers of the audience gradually faded away.

On the field, the atmosphere gradually became solemn.
