Chapter 277: Don't Forget Your Original Intention

"What I have in front of me is the world record and the '08 Olympics."

After chatting with Li Zhizhong at the track and field, the two separated first. Su Zu went to the hotel to find his parents and relatives, and he would have been with them for the past few years, while Li Zhizhong had his own things to do.

On the way to the hotel, Su Zu began to seriously think about what Fang Cai and Li Zhizhong talked about later.

Now there are almost three years left before the 2008 Olympic Games, and at present, it can be said that the entire "Su team", the Athletics Management Center and the General Administration, and even the whole country are all focused on when he can break the world record.

In terms of the evolution of the men's 100m world record, the first recorded men's 100m world record was 11.8 seconds run by Thomas Burke of the United States in Athens, Greece in 1896.

The first men's 100m world record to be recognized by the IAAF was the 10.6 seconds set by Donard Rippincott of the United States at the 1912 Stockholm Olympics.

The world record of 9.95 seconds set by Jim Hines at the 1968 Mexico Olympics was a milestone record and the first 100m world record after entering electronic timing.

After that, Calvin Smith and Carl Lewis broke the 10-second mark, and slowly improved the record.

The fastest change should be in the 90s of the last century, Carl Lewis and Leroy Burrell in the early 90s, alternating with each other, improving the 100m record to 9.85 seconds.

After that, Canada's Donovan Bailey ran a world record of 9.84 seconds in 1996, and then the world sprint event ushered in the era of Morris Green.

On June 17, 1999, Maurice Green set a new world record at the Athens International Athletics Grand Prix with an astonishing time of 9.79 seconds.

On September 14, 2002, Montgomery broke Green's world record with a time of 9.78 seconds at the IAAF Grand Prix in Paris, but this record was cancelled by the Court of Arbitration for Sport this year, after the 2005 "Buckle Lab" scandal was exposed, and all his results from 2001 onwards were cancelled by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

The current world record of 9.77 seconds was set by Asafa Powell, who won the Grand Prix in Athens, Greece in June this year.

Suzu is now just 0.02 seconds away from this record, and with his age and level of form, he is now expected by almost everyone to break Powell's record.

But Su Zu knew very well in his heart that 9.77 seconds was not the end, even the 9.74 seconds created by Powell later was far from enough.

In 2008, the Jamaican Lightning would be at the peak of his career, and the world would be watching the world.

Su Zu now needs to calm down, grasp the time of these two or three years, and improve himself as much as possible.

Sprinting to the level of less than 9 seconds, it can already be said that you have entered the pinnacle of human beings, and every bit of improvement will become very difficult.

Su Zu himself could feel it now, his potential value was growing slowly, and it was not easy for his various attributes to improve through training.

Even strength and fitness, the two easiest qualities to improve, have been stagnant for a long time.

Of course, there are a lot of competitions and some commercial activities to interfere with the reasons, but there are also factors that he himself gradually ends up with, and all aspects begin to grow slowly.

"It takes a long-term and stable training plan." Su Zu thought silently in his heart.

The world record is still limited to Powell's 9.77 seconds, and soon, in just a few years, Powell will break it again.

Suzu doesn't pay much attention to Powell's record right now, and he is now far from it, but it is still very likely to be broken in the next year or two.

The problem is that even if he can break this record in the next year or two, he will soon be surpassed again, and he remembers Powell breaking the record once in '07, and after the rise of the Jamaican lightning in '08, the record will be greatly improved.

Su Zu knew Jamaica's lightning results, and the famous "looking back at the moon" had almost become his most dominant performance in the men's sprint event.

And this was at the Olympics in '08, in the Bird's Nest, in his own country, Su Zu didn't want to lose to the other side when he was fighting on his home soil anyway.

And now he is facing this, if he wants not to lose to the other party, he has to make persistent efforts to carry out rigorous and scientific training.

After winning the two World Championships, for a moment, Su Zu himself could feel that he seemed to be a little slack.

And now that the goal has been brought up again, he's kind of back to the feeling he had when he first started sprinting.

I don't know what kind of results I can run in the end, but I still need to work harder, harder.

Don't forget the original intention, you can always be!

……

After the Golden Grand Prix, in the next few days, Su Zu first attended several business events in the magic capital, and then wore sunglasses and changed his downskirt to accompany his parents to travel to some attractions in the magic capital.

My father is 44 years old this year, and my mother is 40 years old this year, both of them are still young, and after living in Hedao City for a year, their spirits and spirits look much better than they used to be at home.

In just over ten days, it passed in a flash, and when it was time for the 11th National Day, Su Zu accompanied Su Yuanhua and Ye Qingmei back to Ronghai Province.

After a day in Hedao City, Su Zu went to the provincial team in Rongcheng to report that his household registration and athlete registration location were in Ronghai Province.

After the provincial team met with Zhuang Tao and the leaders of other sports bureaus, Su Zu and Zhuang Tao had a simple meal together with Zhang Quanshan, a partner of the former sports school.

During this period, several people talked about Shen Guoying's affairs at the beginning, and after he won three medals in gold, silver and bronze at the Suzu Athens Olympics last year, he had already left class and went abroad.

Su Zu had never been under Shen Guoying, and he didn't know his coaching level, and he didn't have any resentment about Shen Guoying not letting him enter the provincial team.

After all, the coaching philosophy of each coach is different, and it is normal for him not to be valued at that time, and in the final analysis, Su Zu was able to go to Li Zhizhong in Hedao City, which was also the result of his recommendation.

The other is Zhang Quanshan, who has not seen each other for a long time, at the age of twenty, he has matured a lot, and he also feels a little alienated from Su Zu.

After the end of the trip to Ronghai, it was already the National Day of 2005, and Su Zu returned to the Xinzhuang training base after more than ten days of rest and adjustment.

The provincial team can naturally also train, but he is now taken care of by the members of the "Su Zhi Team" in all aspects, and even if he wants to participate in the National Games in the name of the local government, the training will not be with everyone. Just go straight to the rendezvous before the game.

First, Xu Zhikui, the team doctor, conducted a comprehensive examination, and then began a series of recovery training.

Although Su Zu and Li Zhizhong don't pay much attention to the National Games, as long as it is a competition, they still have to have a serious mentality, and there are a lot of pre-game preparations that should be made.

In the face of various sports events, professional athletes will generally play according to their own state and the weight level of the competition, opponents, and prize money.

Like the Golden Grand Prix in the Magic City, if it weren't for Justin Gatlin to compete with Su Zu, it would be difficult for the two to run like that. After the Grand Prix, the Yokohama All-Star Game, Gatlin only ran 10.01 seconds to win the championship.

That's the excitement of not having an opponent, and it's hard to keep a player highly focused.

And Li Zhizhong is still very serious on this point, in fact, including Liu Yangyu's coach Sun Pingjiang, and even many coaches in China, can be said to be quite serious when facing most of the events.

From a purely commercial point of view, it's not just the athletes' performance, and that's different.

On October 12, the 10th National People's Games was held in Jinling. A total of 46 delegations from all over the country participated in this National Games, with a total of nearly 10,000 athletes, the highest number of the previous 10 National Games.
