(Excessive Chapter)

On August 28, at 11 a.m. local time, the men's 200m preliminaries at the 2007 World Championships in Osaka were about to begin.

Because the time was close to noon and the sun was poisoning, there were not many spectators in Nagai Stadium who came to watch the game, and the attendance rate of nearly 50,000 spectators was less than half.

And many of the people in this half are tourists from China or other countries, who are specially for Su Zu and Tyson Gay.

The schedule of the men's 200m race is basically the same as the last World Championships, and the competition time is scheduled for three days. The preliminary round starts at 11:10 on August 28, the semi-finals at 20:10 on August 28, the semi-finals at 22:20 on August 29, and the final at 22:20 on August 30.

The semi-finals and finals of the men's 200m, like the previous Olympic World Championships, are held at intervals of one day in consideration of the physical distribution of athletes, unlike the 100m semi-finals and finals, which are held on one day.

There are a total of 49 competitors in the men's 200m race at the World Championships, which are divided into 6 preliminary groups, including 8 players in 5 groups and 9 players in 1 group.

The rules for the men's 200m preliminaries are that the top four in each group will directly advance to the semi-finals, with a total of 24 players, and then the top eight players will be admitted according to the results of the remaining players in each group, with a total of 32 players participating in the semi-finals.

"Suzu's main opponent in the 200m should be Tyson Gay, right?"

Zhang Pingqiu sat in the first row of the spectator seats and glanced at the track and field, at this time, the first group of men's 200m preliminaries had appeared on the starting line of the track, adjusting their emotions and making final preparations.

Not necessarily, Jamaica's young Usain Bolt and American Wallace Spearmon are both fierce rivals. In particular, the Jamaican athlete, who is only a few months older than Suzu, but has a lot of potential, and he broke the Jamaican national men's 200m record this year. And Spearmon, who is no stranger to us, is also very talented. ”

Li Zhizhong heard Zhang Pingqiu's words, and took stock of several key players in the 200-meter of this event, and the strength of the most important opponents was not weak.

However, Tyson Gay has grown more rapidly in the past two years than other athletes, and has jumped to the top three 100m athletes on the planet, and the top two 200m athletes.

At the National Championships in June, Guy ran 9.84 seconds and 19.62 seconds in two consecutive days, becoming the second-best overall man ever in these two events. The previous first place was Su Zu's world record of 9.72 seconds in the 100m and his best time in the 200m in 19.48 seconds.

After Su Zu defended the men's 100m championship at the World Championships, at this time, the foreign media had made no secret of their admiration, as if the previous period of singing and declining was not done by these people at all.

In yesterday's media announcements, Sue has already been adopted by several media outlets as the creator of a new 100m dynasty, winning two gold medals in the 100m at the World Championships, holding a world record and beating two rivals, Asafa Powell and Tyson Gay. Like Carl Lewis and Maurice Green, Suzu began to forge his dynastic era.

And now what he lacks is only an Olympic gold medal in the men's 100m, to achieve the men's 100m championship grand slam.

At the same time, in the face of the rise of Su Zu, an Asian Chinese sprinter, occupying the first place in the world, European and American athletics have also fallen into an era of hope to welcome heroes.

In the past, the flying man Gatlin struggled with the ban, the Jamaican flying man Powell was unable to fight, and the world athletics 100m field needs a hero like Tyson Gay, which is one of the reasons why Tyson Gay has been chased by many media this year.

Now that the men's 100-meter race has come to an end, it is natural for the men's 200-meter race to focus on the world's attention.

Compared to Suzu, who was born in the 100m sprint, Tyson Gay started out as a special 200m runner and was more competitive in the 200m event.

However, at present, no one, including Tyson Gay and many media outlets, dares to shout for the championship.

Suzu's 200m time at the Osaka Grand Prix earlier this year was so impressive, with a time of 19.48 seconds, which was almost impossible to break through in the era of Michael Johnson's retirement.

In the men's 200m runner check-in area, a group of runners appeared, and then walked out of the mixed area corridor and headed to the field.

Among the six preliminaries group, Su Zu was ranked in the fifth group, and when he entered the check-in area, several players came to greet him one after another.

"Sue, your 100-meter run is fantastic."

A tall black young man ran up to Su Zu with a grin and greeted him.

"Thank you, Usain."

Su Zu looked at Usain Bolt, who had not yet been named the Jamaican lightning at this time, with some emotion in his heart and a little vigilance.

Suzu saw Usain Bolt at both the New York Grand Prix and the Lausanne Super Prix this year. On that occasion in New York, he did not stay long because of his poor grades and left in a hurry.

In Lausanne, he watched Bolt's 200m race in the whole way, and the most significant difference between Usain Bolt at the beginning of this year is that he is getting more and more fit compared to the state in which Suzu saw Bolt before.

From the outside, the Bolt he saw this year is not necessarily much stronger than Bolt in 2004, but the muscles of the exposed arms and calves are completely different.

Moreover, the confidence and state of the whole person are the same as before.

In competition and competition, he has accumulated enough experience in major competitions, and he has also won the most important matches to build his confidence.

At this year's Jamaican National Championships, the men's 200m Jamaican national record was an astonishing time of 19.75 seconds, which Suzu won at the World Championships in Helsinki two years ago.

And this result is completely one of the top results in the men's 200m at the moment.

"Yusain, I heard that you also switched to the event to run 100 meters?"

Su Zu remembered the timeline of time and space, and estimated that the Jamaican lightning should start running 100 meters at this time.

"I've already run one." The tall black Jamaican youth grinned, raised an index finger, and said, "It's a small competition, but I'm the champion." Hi Sue, maybe the next time we'll race on the 100-meter track. ”

"What about this one?"

Suzu smiled, Usain Bolt is different from Tyson Gaye, this is a fun-loving black Jamaican with a cheerful personality, even if he is a fellow opponent, he will often tell jokes off the court to amuse. He has great personal relationships with fellow rivals such as Wallace Spearmon and Richard Thompson.

Of course, on the field, Su Zu never dared to despise the other party, and along the way, he always aimed at the other party and constantly tempered himself.

"This one?" Usain Bolt patted his chest, "You have a good opponent besides Tyson Gay." ”

Saying that, he looked at the check-in area and began to line up, he was in the fourth group of the preliminaries, and at this time the staff had already begun to roll call.

"Okay, we'll see you in the finals, I'll have to go get a place to qualify first."

"Good luck!"

After Usain Bolt left, Suzu did a simple warm-up, and several more athletes came over to greet him.

Today's king of the 100-meter sprint in athletics, the 200-meter runner with the most hope to break Michael Johnson, will attract the attention of countless people wherever he goes.

Even if many of these people see him as an athlete who surpasses the goal, they are willing to do better than him at this time.

Anastasias Gossis, a 200-meter athlete of the Greek national track and field team in the same group as Suzu, repeatedly invited Suzu to warm up on the indoor track with Suzu, and if Suzu went to Athens to participate in the Grand Prix, he must inform him, and he asked Suzu to enjoy the local cultural and historical scenery of Athens.

Anastasiasios Gosis and Suzu have played against each other in the semi-finals of the men's 200m at the Athens Olympics.

Anastasiasios Gossius's exit in the semi-finals in that match sparked long-simmering discontent among the Greek crowd at the time. Sydney 2000 Olympic champion in the 200m, Greece's Kentris was banned before the race for evading a drug test. At that time, the Olympic Stadium was full of boos, all kinds of drink bottles and debris flew around, and it was the most impressive game for Su Zu.

Osaka local time, 11:30 a.m.

The Nagai Stadium was steaming, and the four groups of men's 200m heats in front of them had already competed for the qualification spots, and the fifth group of athletes appeared on the field.

In the 1200-meter sprint, black runners were completely dominant before Suzu appeared.

Especially in the finals, it is rare to see yellow or white people, but in the first round of the preliminaries, there are many players of two other colors besides blacks.

In Suzu's group, in addition to Greece's Anastasias Gosis is white, there is also Marchin Jedrushinski from Poland.

In addition to the absolute speed competition, the men's 200m race requires extremely high cornering technique and speed endurance, and in comparison, only the long-distance track event from the 200m onwards is eligible for the competition between yellow and white runners.

Like the current top athlete in the men's 400m, American athlete Jeremy Variner is a white athlete who excels in his physical strength and speed retention.

But to be honest, such players are extremely rare, just like the emergence of Su Zu and Liu Yangyu, they are rare non-black athletes who can stand on the top of the world with their extraordinary talent.

Later, Japan once made a series called "Body Miracles", using Asafa Powell and Nobuharu Asahara, as examples, to deeply analyze the gap between top black sprinters and athletes of other colors.

From tendon toughness and strength, to running techniques, muscle mass, etc., all are analyzed through three-dimensional data.

And when conducting internal transmission, several Japanese research staff members lifted the veil of this racial difference to a certain extent.

The most amazing gap comes from the psoas muscle. The psoas major muscle is located on the side of the lumbar vertebrae, in front of the transverse process of the lumbar vertebrae, and is a long fusiform muscle, which originates from both sides of the lumbar spine and terminates on the lesser trochanter of the femur together with the iliac muscle, which is collectively called the "iliopsoas muscle".

The main function of the psoas major muscle is to act as a stabilizer of the lumbar spine, flexing the hip joint or stabilizing the hip joint. The psoas major muscle is one of the most important muscles in the human body, it connects the trunk and legs and is the basis for standing and walking.

Walking starts from the torso, and then passes from the psoas muscle to the legs, simply put, the degree of development of the psoas muscle, in a sense, determines the speed of walking and running. After all, the more developed the psoas muscle, the more he is able to stretch his hips and legs and move.

And this full-body scan dialysis found that Powell's psoas muscles are twice as large as those of Asahara. When Asahara, Xuanji, looked at the realistic picture of the horizontal screenshot of the waist of the internal dialysis body, and his eyes were almost a little frozen.

is also a sprinter, from a training point of view, Asahara's hardness and intensity will not be much worse than Powell's, but the development of the two psoas muscles makes the final two have a huge difference of 0.3-0.4 seconds in the 100-meter time.

Although the human body reveal column of this "Body Miracle" is not necessarily completely objective and credible, in a sense, it tells about the gap between human bodies.

Since then, the focus of sprint training for athletes in Japan has shifted from the individual 1200m event to the 4×100m event, which is more teamwork-oriented.

After the guns rang out in the preliminaries of the fifth group, Su Zu maintained his physical strength all the way.

Unlike in 04, when he did his best every game, he now has enough experience and confidence in the competition, and he is becoming more and more calm no matter what level of competition he faces, what kind of opponent he faces.

From the start, he was in the middle until he crossed the corner, sprinting into the final 80 metres of the straight, and overtook Anastasiaos Goses, who was the leader of his group.

In the end, when Suzu crossed the finish line first with a time of 20.02 seconds, Anastasias Gaucis also ran a good time of 20.11 seconds.

Greek athletes have a long tradition of excellence in the 200m, and for non-black athletes, they are one of the few top players in the world sport in the second tier.

Occasionally, events such as the 2000 Sydney Olympics have been able to go beyond the norm and qualify for the championship.

When the men's 200m heats at noon were over, Suzu and Anastasias Goses were also in the top two of all the preliminaries groups.

In third place was Usain Bolt, who patted his chest with Suzu before the race and indicated that it would be his rival, with a time of 20.12 seconds.

Because it is a preliminaries, the powerful players are retained, and the time of 20.83 seconds can basically successfully advance to the semifinals.

At 20:10 in the evening, the men's 200m rematch was much more intense than the preliminaries. Among the 32 players who were able to advance to the semi-finals, the level was relatively average, and they had begun to do their best.

The semi-finals are 32-in-16, and the top four of the four semi-final groups will directly advance to the semi-finals.

Suzu's time of 19.98 seconds in this round of the rematch ranked first in the semi-final, while the second and third places in the group were replaced by Tyson Gay and Usain Bolt.

Sixteenth place went to Australia's Patrick Johnson with a time of 20.62 seconds.

Before the race, the Japanese side was optimistic about high hopes and had a chance to hit the top eight players Sueji Shingo, Takahira Shinshi and Tomoya Kamiyama, but in this round of the semi-finals, they only ran 20.70 seconds, 20.77 seconds and 20.89 seconds, and unfortunately exited.

This led to a sharp drop in the number of spectators in the women's long jump final, the women's 800m final, and the women's 400m hurdles semi-finals and men's 400m hurdles finals after the men's 200m rematch. A large number of local spectators left the venue early in Osaka, Japan.

The World Athletics Championships in Osaka produced a total of six gold medals on the 28th, and Kenya and the Russian army were in the limelight, winning two gold medals each, becoming the big winners of the day.

At this time, the focus of media attention at home and abroad was not on other competitions.

The world's eyes are now focused on the men's 200m semifinals on the 29th and the men's 200m final on the 30th.

After defending his men's 100m title, Suzu will be aiming for his second gold medal at the World Championships, and whether he can beat his opponent Tyson Gay again and break the 200m world record set by Michael Johnson has become the biggest suspense of the World Championships so far.
