"Su Zu won!"

In the audience, the four members of the Chinese relay team almost jumped on the spot the moment they saw Su Zu rushing over the finish line.

It's so exciting, it's so exciting!

Despite this championship, everyone thought in their hearts that Su Zu had a good chance to defend the title again.

Although Su Zu did not participate in many races in the 200m event this year, the 200m race at the Osaka Grand Prix alone was dazzling enough.

Unexpectedly, Suzu performed even more amazingly in this race, running a new personal best and a meeting record, even if it was not far from Michael Johnson's world record.

Everyone is a sprinter, and they are well aware of the change in the men's 1200m world record, which is the closest to Michael Johnson's 200m world record in 10 years.

The anxiety and waiting mood of sitting in the audience watching the game on the sidelines is even more nervous than they are in the game.

And the joy after the victory, and the sense of pride of honor, overflowed in the chest at this moment.

Su Zu won the men's 200m World Championships again, two World Championships, four gold medals, and the heaviest gold medal, such a result, almost made them indescribably shocked by the same athletes.

Su Bingtian, Zhang Peimeng, Wen Yongyi, and Chen Yuhang looked at Su Zu in front of the finish line at this moment, and in their eyes and hearts, they all thought that it was dry firewood ignited by a little spark.

A flame called Champion was scorching and burning, and the blood on his body was boiling.

"Su Zu, champion!"

"China, come on!"

Su Bingtian and Zhang Peimeng shouted one after another.

The fiery emotions that stirred in his chest were transmitted through this shout.

Tomorrow, they will also set foot on the battlefield, and the preliminaries of the men's 4×100m relay are about to begin!

……

Before the finish line, Su Zu slowly slowed down his pace after crossing the finish line.

Fang Cai's final sprint was so involved that he didn't need to pay attention to the other players.

In this group of men's 200-meter runs, it can be said that he played very well, but he did not reach the extreme and perfect state.

Su Zu could clearly feel that his cornering skills in the 200m event were not good enough, and he could have accelerated faster and more fully in the 200m corner than several other dedicated 200m runners, so as to break off the rest of his competitors.

But in order to ensure the center of gravity of his body, to some extent, his performance in corners was a little worse.

The 200m and 400m events have more corners than the 100m, so in addition to absolute speed and super speed endurance, athletes must also have very exquisite cornering skills.

In a project with corners, whether it is 200 meters and 400 meters or a longer distance of 800 meters and 1000 meters, it is a great learning to surpass opponents in corners.

Although Su Zu had a period of training when he practiced the relay race in 04, his cornering skills were not the top.

19.37 seconds!

After crossing the finish line, Su Zu saw the results jumping out of the yellow half-man-high timing board.

"Sure enough, it didn't break the record?!"

Su Zu stood on the runway and let out a sigh, not too surprised by this result.

The world record in the men's 200m is 19.32 seconds set by Michael Johnson at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, and he is 0.05 seconds away from that time.

If your strength is a little stronger, your speed retention ability is a little better, your cornering skills are better, and the excitement of your opponent is a little more, maybe you have a chance!

Su Zu had a thought in his heart, and there was no frustration on his face, but he was slightly emotional, compared to the men's 100-meter world record that has been refreshed again and again, the men's 200-meter world record and the men's 400-meter world record have not been broken for more than 10 years.

In a way, it also shows how amazing the record set by Michael Johnson is, and the difficulty of running 200 meters is much more difficult than 100 meters.

"Congratulations, Sue!"

At this moment, a tall figure behind him suddenly rushed towards Su Zu, and Su Zu almost didn't have time to react, so he received a bear hug.

"You won, 19.37 seconds, that's an amazing result!"

The tall black young man let go of Su Zu and stretched out his hand to rub Su Zu's head.

"Thank you, Yusain, you are my strongest opponent!"

Su Zu looked at the other party's grinning expression and was a little speechless, it has always been this action, in the games that Su Zu has watched in later generations, Bolt will habitually rub the heads of his teammates or opponents after each game.

Bolt smiled and did not answer Su Zu's words about the strongest opponent, but turned around and put it away directly.

It is a customary habit for athletes to celebrate the championship after the competition, and he is not a person who cannot afford to lose, wishing his opponent to win and acknowledging the strength of his opponent, which is a good mentality that he has honed step by step since the World Junior Championships and the World Youth Championships.

Only by facing oneself and facing one's opponent can we catch up.

It's just that if you can win, no one wants to be the loser.

"Next time, next time, Sue, I'll be standing in front of the finish line, waiting for you to come and congratulate me."

On the other side, at this time, Tyson Gay's expression was gloomy, his right hand clenched his fist and shook it fiercely in the air, his lips moved slightly, as if he was venting his dissatisfaction with this game.

But in this game, Tyson Gay did not walk away directly like the previous 100m final, although he had a look of displeasure on his face, he still walked in front of Su Zu and lightly expressed congratulations.

Su Zu can see Tyson Gay's inner pursuit of championships and his persistence and desire for victory, without this mentality of never being willing to be weak, Tyson Gay would not have been able to get to where he is today.

Looking at Tyson Gay's resume, it can be clearly seen that he is more famous than Powell and Gatlin of the same age, they have already made a name for themselves in 04 and 05, and Tyson Gay left college in 05 and has only just talked about professional athletics.

And his results weren't very impressive at first.

At the age of 22, he finished fourth in the 60m and fifth in the 200m at the NCAA Men's Indoor Track and Field Championships. In the 2005 NCAA Champions Series Finals, he lost the 200m to his training partner Spearmon.

But it was in such a strong competitive atmosphere that Tyson Gay became more and more courageous, and with talent and training, step by step, he gradually became the top two and top three sprinters in the world.

At this time, on the big screen of the scene, the athletes' results in the men's 200-meter final also appeared on the big screen one by one.

1. Fifth lane, Su Zu, China, reaction 0.143, score 19.37;

2. Fourth lane, Tyson Gay, USA, reaction 0.143, time 19.58;

3. Sixth lane, Usain Bolt, Jamaica, reaction 0.159, time 19.63;

4. 7th lane, Wallace-Spearmon, USA, reaction 0.144, 19.96 seconds;

5. Lane 8, Rodney Martin, USA, reaction 0.186, time 20.06;

6. Second lane, Kuranti-Martina, Netherlands Antilles, reaction 0.144, time 20.28;

7. Third lane, Marvin Anderson, Jamaica, reaction 0.171, time 20.29;

8. 9th lane, Christopher Williams, Jamaica, reaction 0.154, time 20.57;

"Asafa, I'm afraid it's hard for you to have a chance to reach the top of the world again in the future."

On the other side of the spectator seat at Nagai Stadium, a well-dressed bald black man with his hands on his chest said with a frown as he looked at the results that appeared on the big screen at the scene.

When Asafa Powell didn't seem to be smiling, he always had that bitter melon face, and when he heard his agent say this, he didn't immediately refute it, just fell silent.

Compared to the 2005 world sprinters, Morris Green, the previous generation of flyers, is old, and he is at the top of his game, breaking Green's 100m world record and ranking first in the 100m sprint, followed by Olympic champions Gatlin and Suzu.

By 2006, Gatlin and Suzu broke his record, and then Gatlin was banned, and Suzu began to climb to the No. 1 position in the world, where he was second, followed by the rise of Tyson Gay.

And this year, Su Zu's position in the IAAF world number one is still unassailable, but his place has been replaced by Tyson Gay and climbed to third.

And judging from the current situation, it is likely that he will continue to fall.

Because Jamaica has another talented sprinter, Usain Bolt, this fierce competition has begun since the opponent started preparing to run the 100m event.

In European and American athletics circles, or in Jamaica, there is competition between coaches and coaches, clubs and clubs, in addition to competition between athletes.

Sometimes it is thought that track and field athletes are a group of individuals who only have individual heroes noticing, but the reality is quite the opposite. An athlete's achievements are not only related to the sense of team honor, but also involve conflicts of interest.

The rules of competition in different sports disciplines, such as the rivalry between Manchester United and Chelsea, and the rivalry between Federer and Rafael Nadal, are very different in intensity and context.

Powell's former coach Stephen Francis and current coach Frano, are in competition with Usain Bolt's coach Glenn Mills.

Kingston University of Technology is responsible for awards such as Best Speed, Strongest Club or Most Valuable Athlete, all of which are the main points of contention.

Glenn Mills coached at the Runners' Club, the equivalent of the University of the West Indies, so the competition between the two was based on athletes' performance and breakthroughs in the schooling system.

This is one of the reasons for the rapid rise of athletics in Jamaica, where there is strong competition between athletes and coaches, as well as between clubs and universities.

Which club has the most gold medals in major tournaments, and the focus of the quadrennial Olympic qualifiers is not who will represent Jamaica, but how many sprinters and MVPs the club can win.

Asafa Powell is also well aware that there is a lot of water in this, and his coach Frano and Glenn Mills were former colleagues, and the two later feuded for some reason, fighting to the death for the title of "Most Successful Coach".

At the time of Bolt's special 100 meters, Powell learned about it through Frano for the first time. Bolt's current 100m time does not pose any threat to Powell, but in the 200m final that has just ended, Powell feels a little palpitations.

From the start to the corner, Bolt showed incredible speed that was not necessarily weaker than Suzu and Tyson Gay.

If he was running 100 meters, it would probably be a surprise for him.

"Terry, I'm not going to play in the Grand Prix and All-Star Invitational after the World Championships."

After a long time, Asafa Powell and his agent spoke, "I also have trouble you to go back and help me deal with those cars at home." ”

"Huh?" The bald black middle-aged man looked at Powell in some surprise, "Dispose of your favorite toy, you're not kidding, are you?" ”

Compared to the various erosive private lives of other athletes, Asafa Powell is already very good in the eyes of this sports agent who is familiar with various business operations.

At least most of the time, they will be able to maintain their training and will not completely degenerate into Mali.

And Powell's biggest hobby is also related to speed, which is modified cars. All kinds of modified cars, vehicles imported from Japan, Europe and the United States, do it yourself or find a professional tuner to improve the engine power.

This is one of the reasons why Powell was once criticized by some Jamaican media, but at that time he still went his own way, and now, he has proposed to dispose of those beloved "toys", which is not surprising to the sports agent.

"The last time I went back, Stephen told me that I was running with my talent and not putting all my focus on the race." Powell's voice was slightly low, and his eyes crossed the track and field, chasing Su Zu, who was wearing a red flag and was circling the field to receive cheers.

"Next year is the Olympics and I've figured out why I'm out of balance and how to take the pressure. This World Championships has made me realize that my opponents are very strong and I don't want to keep losing like this. ”

Asafa Powell spoke slowly, with a desire to win that he had never had before, and in the opinion of Terry, an agent who has been in contact with him since 03, Powell's heart has grown to a stage that he is impressed with in the past month or so.

And Powell himself also felt an unprecedented pressure, not the pressure of other audiences or the media for his grades, but a kind of pressure that time does not wait, and he is about to be abandoned by the times.

Little did he know that in another time and space, at the London 2012 Olympics, he had wept silently before leaving the arena.

He used to be a world record holder, and the London Olympics are long gone for him. Seeing the joy of his compatriot Usain Bolt's Olympic title and Blake's silver, he was like a cat abandoned in the shadows, licking his wounds alone, looking timidly at the runway, while the crowd almost forgot that he existed.

And this time, he had already woken up early, and when he was still in his prime, he didn't want to get out of the way.

In 2008, there were too many rivals on the men's 100m track, Suzu, Gay, Usain Bolt and Justin Gatlin, who was only a few months away.

In such a turbulent era, arguably the greatest of men's sprinting, he didn't want to be the first to go out.
