Chapter 325: Public Enemy Number One
In the audience seats at the Gottlieb-Daimler Stadium, it was a real boiler that reached a temperature of 100 degrees, steaming and full of people.
Lin Bang raised the five-star red flag in his hand high, and like many Chinese students around him, he shouted Su Zu's name on the field.
This is the first time he has watched the game in the audience as a spectator and cheered for Su Zu.
He had already left his old company, and this time he came to Europe at his own expense. The cost of airfare, food and lodging is expensive, plus the entrance fee, which is a significant expense.
It can be said that the little salary he has saved from working in the past few years has basically been squandered in this trip to Europe.
Before leaving, I just wanted to change my mood and sort out the road I had stumbled into the sports journalist industry in the past few years.
And when I chose to travel, I almost subconsciously thought of Germany, Stuttgart, and this IAAF Finals.
Important track and field events at home and abroad have become a kind of professional instinct for him, and he will subconsciously remember that when he opens the world map, what naturally comes to mind is where and when there will be competitions, what level, and whether Su Zu will participate in it.
In just a few years, the stunned young man who has just come out of society, the hairy boy, has become a treasure for track and field competitions, especially sprint events, regardless of the competition venue and the current athletes.
At this time, he looked at Su Zu, who was standing in the middle of the arena and shaking hands with Powell, and the two of them shook hands amiably on the big screen at the scene, and he couldn't help but feel countless emotions.
I have mixed feelings, and that's probably how it feels.
Although it is not the most real story that happened to him, Su Zu's growth trajectory in recent years, he has followed and witnessed it all the way.
That teenager he saw for the first time at the national championships, he really stood on top of the world.
At this moment, Lin Bang didn't know what his next job would be, but sitting in the audience and raising the brightly colored red flag in his hand, he only felt honored, glorious, and lucky!
I am fortunate to have met you when I have just graduated and I am ignorant, I am fortunate to be of the same kind as you, and I am fortunate to be able to see you climb the highest mountain!
……
On the field, Powell, who looked a little depressed, slowly raised his head, stared at Su Zu for a long time, reached out to hold his palm, and grinned.
"Sue, you're a good opponent!"
Powell said slowly, as a veteran of the game, maybe he may be nervous and feel pressure before the game, but after the game, at least he can quickly adjust his mentality.
It's just a game, so what if you lose again?
He didn't lose before he broke the world record in 2005, and even after breaking the world record, he would still lose to other opponents who were not as good as him.
This is sports competition, and every athlete from a low-level competition, a kind of competition to the highest level, can not win all.
There are losses and wins, and that's the norm of the game.
Where are there people who are always winning and undefeated in the sports field, and in several games with Su Zu, Powell has also recognized the reality, Su Zu's strength is stronger than him, not as bad as he thought.
Winning once was a fluke, winning five games in a row, in a sense, Su Zu's achievements were achieved under his stimulus, and the result was obvious, or a win-win situation was actually not impossible.
He, Asafa Powell, has also set a new personal best several times this year, which proves that his potential does not end there, and that there is still room for improvement if he works hard.
And Su Zu's feeling to him has also become very clear, there is no doubt that Su's presence can have a super high level.
The young player from Asia has an extraordinary mental quality and is always able to win every time he is challenged by a strong opponent.
But at the beginning of his season, at the '04 Olympics, he lost in the men's 100m and 200m events as well.
Only with such an opponent can you stimulate yourself not to relax and work harder!
The other players on the sidelines, Tyson Gay and Leonard Scott, all saw Suzu reach out to Powell and heard him say the same thing.
For a while, several people were a little fluctuating.
Of the eight players who looked around the arena, seven were black-skinned, and the one who won the game set a record was the Chinese with black hair, black eyes and yellow skin!
"Sue, congratulations!"
"Sue, your performance is perfect!"
When Suzu and Tyson Gay, Leonard Scott and others hugged him one by one to express their thanks and congratulations, Suzu looked at the eyes of everyone looking at him, and it became a little more elusive than the last time in Zurich.
The smile is still kind, but there is always something hidden in the depths of the eyes.
Until several other athletes walked in front of Su Zu one by one, Su Zu suddenly realized at a certain moment that he might have become the number one public enemy in the track and field world now.
The first record was broken by Gatlin, the second by Powell, and this time, it was Tyson Gay, who has already had many sprinters like Tyson Gay.
At least in the sprint event, he is already a veritable big man, and he is the object of countless athletes who want to challenge and beat.
Like Carl Lewis and Maurice Green, he holds the world record and is the fastest runner, but he is also the one with the most enemies.
His record will spur all sprinters to train harder, whether it's Asafa Powell, Tyson Gaye, Justin Gatlin, or the black man at the Kingston training base in Jamaica who watched the race, or even some unknown teenager who put on spikes for the first time, don't want to kick him off the throne.
No one likes a winner, especially when the winner is not themselves, or not their own camp.
……
After exchanging congratulations and thanks to the other contestants, Su Zu turned around again and gestured to the audience.
shook hands with the many spectators who rushed to the nearest audience on the sidelines, and I don't know who gave him a five-star red flag, Su Zu unfolded him and draped it on his body.
The flickering magnesium lights almost dazzled Su Zu's eyes, and countless people were shouting his name, applause, cheers, and screams in his ears......
Crazy, fanatical, this is what Su Zu feels like in a moment!
Su Zu raised his head and wandered through the crowd, he wanted to find Li Zhizhong and find Zhang Pingqiu, but he kept feeling that someone around him was pulling his vest, shouting and screaming.
Su Zu didn't pay attention to it at first, and it was difficult for him to tell how he felt at the moment.
There was calm, but it was also infected by the endless frenzy of the scene. At a certain moment, it seemed that his whole person was separated from this lively scene, and he watched coldly, but the focus that was surrounded and the focus of attention was himself!
"Su, Suzu, come here!" Su Zu finally heard what the person shouting behind him was saying, it was a middle-aged man in a standard suit, who seemed to be the staff of the competition, and he kept shouting at Su Zu, "Su, you need to take a photo with your world record!" ”
It wasn't until this moment that Su Zu came back to his senses.
Turning to look at the chronograph board on the side of the runway, the Arabic numerals of 9.72 seconds came into view.
Su Zu walked over, half-squatting on the runway, with his right hand on the timing board, facing the many reporters who had been taking pictures around him.
Smile brightly!
Here's my record!
……
Yesterday Su Zu ran 9.72 seconds, I made a mistake when I sent the data, and I sincerely apologize!
