Chapter 189: Final Preparation
“…… Liu Yangyu must pay attention to his start, he grabbed a shot yesterday, which still needs to be very cautious on the field. ”
"It's game on! The bar in front of Liu Yangyu is still very stable, and the movements are very coordinated...... Oh, 13.18 seconds, very easy, Liu Yangyu won the first place in this group, oh, it is the second in the group, and the first place in the group is Maurice Vigno of Jamaica, who also successfully advanced to the final. ”
At 2 o'clock in the morning Beijing time, countless viewers who stayed up late at this time in China were watching the men's 110-meter hurdles semifinals broadcast by CCTV 5 satellite with relish, Liu Yangyu Liu Yangyu advanced to the final held at 21:30 on August 27 with a second time of 13.18 seconds.
In the early hours of the night, there are still many exclamations and carnival voices sounding all over the country, I don't care if it will disturb the sleep of others, otherwise I really can't vent the excitement in my heart at the moment. In another short track event, Chinese athletes reached the final.
At this time, the picture of the TV set, with the end of the men's 110-meter hurdles, suddenly appeared Liu Yangyu interviewed the athlete in and out of the field.
Although the reporter could not be seen, everyone could tell through the sound that it was a young woman.
"Can you finally breathe a sigh of relief?" The voice of a female journalist came out on TV.
"It's not that I'm relieved, it's just that I don't have any baggage, and I don't have any regrets. Because I've broken through history, yes, I'll do it again tomorrow. Spell one tomorrow is one. Liu Yangyu stood in front of the camera, panting and looking quite excited.
"Isn't it a little late to start today?"
"It's okay." Liu Yangyu shook his head and smiled, "It's okay, as long as you enter the finals smoothly, that's my goal." I don't care about tomorrow, I'll play with them. It's like fighting a war, and it can't be taken lightly. I hope you can lend me a little bit of good luck and strength. ”
At this time, the audience sitting on the TV waiting for the 200-meter final, looking at Liu Yangyu in front of the camera, couldn't help laughing.
It's a young and cute athlete, but it's a matter of good luck and strength...... Of course we said yes. However, I have to lend it to Su Zu, who is about to make the finals, today, and I will lend it to you tomorrow.
Since yesterday, many spectators who were waiting to see the semifinals of Suzu 200 meters have seen the rematch of the 110-meter hurdles in advance, and many people have begun to understand the men's 110-meter hurdles project, and they have a deep impression of Liu Yangyu.
Just like the 100m event, a men's sprint event that is monopolized by blacks, and it is really encouraging that there is another athlete who has the ability to break into the final and have a chance to win a medal.
Even many people who were only waiting for the 4 a.m. 200m final were in front of the TV two hours in advance to watch the semi-finals of the men's 110m hurdles.
The result did not disappoint everyone, and Liu Yangyu successfully advanced.
“…… After the men's 110-meter hurdles, the next thing to bring to you is the semi-finals of the men's 800-meter, which is still explained by me and Mr. Han. Finally, at 3:25 Beijing time in Athens, it is the last event at the Olympic Stadium today - the men's 200m final, Su Zu will participate in the men's 200m final, I hope you don't miss it. ”
As Yang Jian's voice sounded, the TV broadcast moved from Liu Yangyu's post-race interview to the men's 800m semifinals at the Olympic Stadium.
Although there were no Chinese athletes participating in this competition, there were basically no other programs to watch at this point in time, and countless viewers in front of the TV still stayed up all night, waiting for the final men's 200m final an hour later.
……
At this time, in a lounge in the athletes' rest area of the Olympic Stadium, Su Zu was lying on a massage table, and Jiang Daheng and another team doctor of the track and field team were massaging Su Zu.
"Master Jiang, you start lightly." Su Zu hissed lightly, his closed eyes suddenly opened, and said to Jiang Daheng behind him.
"Hey, your muscles are so stiff, I don't need to use some force, but I can't get alive, just bear with it." Jiang Daheng gently patted Su Zu's back, his finger joints rhythmically rubbed on Su Zu's muscles, and replied with a smile.
"Master Jiang, tap and tap, and we'll have a game later." Su Zu bared his teeth and cracked his mouth, he had a massage before the competition, but at that time, he mainly pulled muscles, and this was the first time he had such a warm-up massage in an hour or two before the competition.
"Daheng, pay more attention to the muscles of the legs and Achilles tendon, don't be too strong, but move as much as possible." Li Zhizhong, who was beside the massage table, looked at Su Zu, who was trembling from time to time, and couldn't help but say.
"That's right, Lao Jiang, this is a pre-game warm-up, you should be lighter, just ensure the heat of your body." Yuan Guohua also spoke.
"Okay, don't worry." Jiang Daheng nodded, "Guan Bao and the others will be on the field, and Su Zu will be alive and well." ”
Next to the massage chair, Li Zhizhong and Yuan Guohua looked at it for a while, and then stepped aside.
"Su Zu is already a little tired looking now." Li Zhizhong stood in front of the window of the lounge, glanced at Su Zu who was lying on the massage table, and whispered to Yuan Guohua.
"Well, it's too dense."
Yuan Guohua nodded, although Su Zu's results in the semifinals were good, several coaches had clearly seen that Su Zu was in a somewhat tired state.
After returning to the Olympic Village last night, Su Zu was almost dragged by the masseur to relax his muscles, and he fell asleep completely in less than two minutes as soon as he lay down, and slept for almost ten hours, and only woke up at noon.
Su Zu is not like Yang Guangzong and Chen Jian, he only participated in a single event, he started the men's 100m preliminaries on the 21st, except for a day off for the 100m award ceremony on the 23rd, basically every day in a tense competition.
Needless to say, the pressure of the Olympic Games is natural, and athletes need to perform at their best in almost every game, and even if Su Zu can retain some of the games, the intensive schedule is still a huge test of physical fitness.
"It's still inexperienced, and I should have asked Lao Jiang to come over the first few times."
Yuan Guohua sighed lightly, at this stage, the top athletes in Europe and the United States generally have a special masseur to relax their muscles before the competition, maintain the heat of the body through massage, and do a few sets of starts and sprints during the final warm-up, so as to reduce the physical consumption of athletes as much as possible.
Especially in the Olympic men's 100m event, there is a two-hour interval between the semi-finals and the final, and several American celebrities have specially arranged this gap to maintain the heat of the body through massage and reduce the physical exertion caused by the warm-up.
On the Chinese team's side, everyone still didn't know enough about the aspect, and it wasn't until the final of the 200-meter event that Su Zu was a little tired, so no one mentioned this.
Su Zu's warm-up exercise today, the time was strictly limited by the two coaches, as much as possible to reduce physical consumption, mainly through the masseur to warm up and keep warm.
I stayed in the lounge until close to 21:30, and the warm-up massage before the game stopped.
Under the arrangement of the Olympic staff, Su Zu entered the check-in area for the final check-in procedure and track warm-up.
At 22:25 in the evening, the men's 200m final of the Athens Olympic Games was officially held.
