“…… Guess what the girl said? ”

In the men's 200m indoor check-in area, the athletes who are about to start the final have warmed up and are gathering together to prepare for the queue.

In the middle of the crowd, a tall black youth, who was significantly more than half a head taller than the other athletes, was dancing with his hands to imitate the tone of one of his women's voices.

"She said, Usain, you're already fast, but how can you hold on for 20 seconds, and this friend you brought in, Michael Flat, he's only 10 seconds...... Oh my God, if you bring Powell over next time, oh oh, isn't it over at the beginning......"

Usain Bolt was joking with a bunch of players.

All the sprinters in attendance burst out laughing when they heard Usain Bolt's joke.

Especially Wallace Spearmon, who had a good personal relationship with Bolt, leaned back and forth in an instant, laughing so hard that he almost squatted on the ground with his stomach clutched.

The laughter of several people even caused an IAAF staff member to glance at the middle of their team several times.

"Yusain, are you trying to kill us all with a joke before the game?" Spearmon laughed and cried.

Su Zu also pursed his lips and smiled beside him, although later generations knew that this Jamaican Lightning was the little prince of the nightclub, and all kinds of jokes brought his sister's jokes at his fingertips, but it was really only after contact that he found out that this is not the Jamaican Demon King, this is the Jamaican Dirt King.

And this is also the most relaxed scene before the game since the competition that Su Zu has experienced over the years.

The vast majority of athletes are facing the World Championships finals at this level, which is not nervous, constantly adjusting their physical and psychological state.

Only this Jamaican Lightning, who is about to step on the peak, is born with a big heart, and in the tense atmosphere before such a competition, he can tell jokes with great ease, and his super psychological quality and relaxed state of not taking the game seriously are very rare for athletes to be honest.

Later generations of Suzu once watched a short video of Usain Bolt before competing in the Olympic 100-meter final, and since the camera was pointed at him, he has been grimacing and joking with other athletes.

One of the most classic scenes is when coach Glenn Mills just came over and patted him on the shoulder, he suddenly screamed exaggeratedly and fell to the ground, his face contorted to the point of hideousness.

And the cameras at the scene recorded this scene perfectly, because it was a live broadcast, almost instantly everyone saw the scene of a coach personally shooting down his carefully cultivated athletes.

Glenn Mills was even more stunned, and at the same time he received several text messages on his mobile phone one after another, asking what Glenn Mills was doing just now.

And Usain Bolt, who succeeded in his prank, laughed uncontrollably on the sidelines.

The athletes present for the final were indeed amused by Bolt's jokes, but only Tyson Gay remained silent, with a calm and solemn look on his face, not in the slightest attracted by Bolt's jokes.

His eyes glanced at Su Zu and Bolt intentionally or unintentionally, with an undisguised sense of competition and hostility in his eyes.

This is the proper state of an athlete, and very few players can talk and laugh with their competitors before the game, and generally those who can do this either know that their skills are not as good as others, or that your strength is far superior to that of the other party.

Only with competition, in a place like the track and field, athletes are not scheming politicians, and they always unconsciously reveal their truest thoughts in their hearts.

Suzu is no longer surprised by Guy's performance, even if it is him, and now facing Usain Bolt, who has just finished telling a joke and grinning, his perception is very complicated.

The time approached little by little, and finally the time came, and the staff in the check-in area appeared to guide everyone to the field.

……

“…… Ladies and gentlemen, the highly anticipated men's 200m final is about to begin. In this final, China's Su Zu will face three athletes from each of the two strongest sprinting countries in the world today, the United States and Jamaica.

In the men's sprint event, there is still a huge gap between us and the world's top sprint level, and the emergence of Su Zu is to break the domination of traditional black athletes from European and American countries in these events. But we should not be careless, at this stage our reserve talent echelon is still relatively weak......"

At 22:20 local time in Osaka and 21:20 Beijing time, CCTV Channel 5 began to broadcast the live broadcast of the men's 200m World Championships at this World Championships.

Yang Jian looked at the eight runners who had appeared in front of the starting line of the corner, followed the live camera, and began to introduce the details of the athletes one by one.

“…… Okay, the eight finalists have already appeared on the track, and the eight runners are scheduled for lanes 2 to 9.

The second is Kuranti Martina from the Netherlands Antilles, who had a great 2007 season, reaching the final in both the men's 100m and 200m, also setting a personal best.

The third runner, Marvin Anderson of Jamaica, who performed well in both the 100m and 200m, is also a member of the Jamaican men's 4×100m relay team at the World Championships.

Fourth, American star Tyson Gay, the runner-up in the men's 100m at this World Championships, Suzu's strongest rival, we look forward to a new personal best in this matchup between him and Suzu.

Fifth, Su Zu, since the beginning of this World Championships, Su Zu has rarely been interviewed by the media, 2007 is a very important hurdle for him, from changing the stride running style of the performance decline, to now jumping to the first place in the world again, he is under a lot of pressure. And whether he can defend the men's 200m championship is also the focus of everyone's attention at present. If he succeeds in defending his title, Suzu will set a new record. Won the men's 1200m gold medal at the World Championships for two consecutive years, an honor that neither Carl Lewis nor Morris Green had achieved before.

Jamaica's Usain Bolt, who is a staggering 1.95m tall and has an astonishing stride, set a Jamaican national record of 19.75 seconds in the 200m this year, and is the most promising of the eight to challenge Suzu and Tyson Gay.

The seventh lane American Wallace Spearmon, also one of Su Zu's old rivals, finished fourth in the men's 200m at the 2005 World Championships, and his personal best was 19.65 seconds thrown at the IAAF Star Invitational in Daegu, South Korea last year, and he is also an excellent player with the strength to win the championship.

Eighth, American Rodney Martin, is also a runner who can break 10 seconds in the 100 meters and 20 seconds in the 200 meters.

The ninth lane is Jamaican veteran Christopher Williams, born in 1972, and one of the oldest athletes at this World Championships......"

in the audience.

Several young athletes of the Chinese relay team applauded again and again when Su Zu appeared on the track.

Wen Yongyi and Chen Yuhang, who were more outgoing, even made a trumpet shape with their hands, and shouted loudly, "Su Zu, come on!" Something like that.

"Three Americans, three Jamaicans, Suzu is not so easy to run in this final!"

Zhang Peimeng's eyebrows were twisted into a word, he was considered tall among domestic sprinters, and he also ran 200 meters at the beginning, but in the face of the top 200 meters players present, his heart trembled slightly.

Except for Su Zu, the current best 200-meter runners in China have run a time of about 20.50 seconds, and they still have to perform extraordinarily. Almost the vast majority of the players present were within 20 seconds.

In a short-distance event like the 200m, a difference of 0.5 seconds or even close to 1 second is almost a desperate number.

Only a player like Su Zu can really face the challenge of many strong players present.

"I think Su Zu will definitely win!"

Su Bingtian's eyes stayed in front of the starting line of the 200-meter curve, a pair of eyes flashed brightly, and the pride and pride in his heart and the emotion of wanting to catch up were constantly stirring.

When will I be able to stand in such a ring!

When will you be able to gallop on the track with the world's best athletes?

It won't be too long, it won't be too long!

on the field.

Su Zu looked up and looked around the entire Nagai Stadium, cheers and all kinds of indistinguishable noises drilling into his ears.

Before each game, he always subconsciously looks around, this is the arena, in the eyes of tens of thousands of people on the scene, surrounded by cameras and magnesium lights on the sidelines.

This is his arena, his arena!

Standing on this stage again and again, his performance has gone from being so nervous that even his muscles are stiff at the beginning, and now he is gradually becoming more relaxed.

But deep down, that pre-competition excitement has never gone away.

As long as you stand on the field, you want to win, you want to win the championship, then you can never be unfazed.

What's more, in this 200-meter race, in the eyes of outsiders, Su Zu is the number one seeded player.

But Su Zu has never dared to be careless in his heart, others may not understand it now, but Su Zu himself knows it in his heart.

The two fastest runners in the world of athletics in later generations are standing beside him at this moment.

And they're about to start playing!

Su Zu's gaze glanced over the tall black young man standing in the sixth lane on his right, and the relaxed expression in the check-in area was completely gone, replaced by a focused look.

This is the second time since the 2005 New York Grand Prix that Suzu has played Usain Bolt in the most important race.

And behind Su Zu, Su Zu almost didn't have to look to know how dignified Tyson Guy's expression would be at this moment.

Since the men's 100m final, Tyson Gay has been waiting for this race, the men's 200m final, his revenge battle.

The biggest characteristic of this lion-like player is that he does not admit defeat. Just like Justin Gatlin, they will only get stronger and braver against strong opponents.

You can defeat me, but you can't bring me to my knees!

In the face of pressure from both the outside world and opponents, there are some athletes who are always able to get more and more courageous and constantly create better results.

Later generations of Usain Bolt admit that facing huge pressure can be overwhelming, like Asafa Powell, because he can't fight the pressure.

In a way, Asafa Powell's clumsy performance in the face of pressure comes from the fact that his training system is different from most other athletes, except for a few championship races, he went straight to the world of track and field as a professional, and then the pressure of various competitions that followed caught him off guard, and he lacked the most important grinding stage.

And in this game, Suzu, Tyson Gay, Usain Bolt, and Spearmon, they all fought all the way up from the bottom of one small level after another, and their performances in the face of the big tournament may be different, but they will never be unbalanced.

On the contrary, because of the emergence of strong players, the desire to compete will be raised layer by layer.

……

“On your marks！”

Before the starting line, the starter began to shout the command that all the runners should be in place.

Tens of thousands of spectators in the noisy Nagai Stadium were instantly silenced after hearing it through the live broadcast.

Before the starting line, the footage of the scene started from Spearmon in the seventh lane, and gradually extended to the sixth Bolt, the fifth Suzu, and the fourth Tyson Guy......

The contest is imminent.

At the same time, many viewers in China who watched the live broadcast of this game were also staring at the TV screen as if they had been immobilized, and their eyes did not blink, for fear of missing any detail.

Syllable!

A crisp starting gun rang out.

Yang Jian's voice on the TV screen also came out at this time: "The game begins!" ”

All the athletes started to accelerate at this moment, but only after two or three steps, the audience in front of the TV suddenly noticed that the athletes were trotting down and stopped.

A loud boo rang out.

"Someone ran away!" Yang Jian's voice was a little high-pitched, "It is difficult for us to see with the naked eye who has a subtle rush on the starting block after the gunshot. The 200-meter start is not as life-or-death as the 100-meter, but it is also very important, but in the general race, few people rush to run, and this part can also be seen to be very fierce. It's impossible for players not to be nervous in such a big game. Even a seasoned veteran can get nervous on such occasions. ”

"Game again!"

In front of the starting line, the runners who had run one or twenty meters away walked back to the starting line.

In a short distance of more than ten meters, the players are also taking advantage of this time to adjust their state.

Sprinters, every time they prepare for the start are a huge amount of concentration, generally after the rush, it will have some impact on most of the athletes.

The runner who had just run the race had already come out, and it was Jamaica's Marvin Anderson, who had a reaction time of 0.097 seconds and almost got the gun down.

Returning to the starting line again, Su Zu shrugged his shoulders slightly, raised his legs high, gently pulled his muscles and ligaments, and leaned over to squat.

On the other hand, Tyson Gay still maintains the habit of drinking some water before going to the road, and then raising his hands above his head and raising his index finger to point to the first movement.

Usain Bolt, who had already leaned over the track with both feet on the runner, also made a one-handed slash on the top of his head and chest before the run.

Su Zu habitually raised his head at this time, and the starting line could not be seen at the start of the 200-meter corner, but he still habitually glanced ahead, as if he wanted to engrave all the race lines in his mind.

Lean over and bow your head.

The referees on both sides of the track went through the process, and all the players' bodies had been kept in a static state, and a prepared voice sounded:

“SET！”

Eight competitors in the front and back corners got up at the same time.

Syllable!

Before the starting line, the electronic starting gun rang out again.

Almost at the moment when the gunshot rang out, Su Zu's body moved, and his feet suddenly kicked on the runner, and his body began to accelerate from stationary to maximum speed.

At this moment, the eight runners had different starting reactions.

Although the audience at the scene could not see the starting reaction time of the runners on the big screen, the starting reaction time of the eight runners had been faithfully displayed on the starting reaction timing boards on both sides of the track.

Unsurprisingly, the fastest start reaction times were Tyson Gay and Suzu, both with 0.143 seconds of reaction times, while Spearmon and Kuranti Martina followed with 0.144 seconds of reaction time. In third place is Jamaican veteran Christopher Williams.

Usain Bolt's reaction time is 0.159 seconds, and his reaction time has been relatively low due to his height and targeted starting training.

The bottom two starters were Jamaica's Marvin Anderson and America's Rodney Martin at 0.171 seconds and 0.186 seconds respectively.

Marvin Anderson was a little slow to react on the second start because of the first shot, while Rodney Martin stepped on the stage of the World Championship final for the first time, and was a little nervous and hesitant at the starting moment.

Twenty meters, thirty meters, forty meters......

In the 100m event, Tyson Gay had a weak start reaction speed compared to Suzu and Powell, and his acceleration in the first half of the race was weaker than Suzu and Powell.

However, in the 200m event, his acceleration ability in the first half and short-range acceleration exceeded that of most competitors.

However, at this moment, Suzu was more prominent than Tyson Gay in terms of short-range acceleration, and in terms of starting style and starting range, he was able to catch up with Powell's perfect starting action at one or two meters.

Although it is a corner, it is impossible to see the specific difference in the position of the two, but if there is a slow motion of the game, it can be seen that Su Zu has seized a certain advantage at the moment.

However, in the acceleration stage of the corner, Suzu's lead did not continue to expand, whether it was Tyson Gay behind Suzu, who followed closely with his super cadence, or Usain Bolt in the sixth lane on Suzu's right hand to raise the speed with an astonishing stride, and even Spilmont in the seventh lane, their cornering skills and experience in the 200m event made up for their lack of speed to a certain extent at this moment.

Fifty meters, sixty meters, seventy meters......

In the 100m event, most of the runners have entered the highest speed stage of the run at this stage, while in the 200m event, many runners will deliberately maintain a longer acceleration distance after the start to delay the arrival of the highest point of the top speed, so that in the second half of the entire 200m event, they can have a faster speed and abundant physical fitness.

In the past, Su Zu also adopted this kind of running style for a long time, by deliberately increasing his stride length and lengthening his acceleration distance, in order to push the highest point of speed back.

But after this year's Osaka Grand Prix, Suzu has completely changed that style of running. After two years of sub-altitude training, his speed and endurance have been greatly improved, and his ability to maintain his speed in the second half of the year allows him to sprint in the 200m event and the 100m.

And in the high-speed stage of 50 meters to 70 meters, everyone on the field suddenly cheered.

Even in the corner, at this time, many viewers could see that Su Zu was starting to gradually stand out and was accelerating rapidly.

At this moment, not only the audience at the scene could see it, but Tyson Gay and Bolt, who were sprinting at full speed on the field, both had an extremely clear feeling.

"No, I must win! I must surpass Su Zu! ”

Tyson Gay, who is in the fourth lane behind Su Zu, has already felt the distance between the two of them when Su Zu enters the absolute maximum speed stage, although it is not obvious to the naked eye because of the corner, but as the top professional athlete, it can often be felt from the rhythm of running.

Tyson Gay's face was hideous, and for a moment it seemed that the sides of his cheeks and the beard under his chin were erect one by one, his steel teeth were clenched, and the veins on his neck and forehead suddenly erupted and bulged.

And Usain Bolt in front of him also suddenly felt a huge threat at this moment, at this time the Jamaican lightning was not yet in peak form, but now he is not the same as the 2005 New York Grand Prix.

Feeling his opponent rapidly approaching him at the 80-meter stage, Bolt's inner thoughts of not admitting defeat suddenly soared.

An athlete like him jokes and jokes before the game, and relaxes his mental state in various ways, but once he arrives at the field, his concentration level will reach the highest in an instant.

Especially when this game is very important for him and it can be a huge boost for him.

As a young and famous Jamaican athlete, he has performed amazingly at the World Junior Championships and World Junior Championships, and was once the most favored by the Jamaican track and field community.

But his performance at the 2004 Athens Olympics made him blame for a long time, so much so that he became very disappointed.

It was only at that time that he really began to recognize the game and himself. First run for yourself, then the Motherland.

Enjoy every victory, every competition against strong opponents, every subtle improvement.

And Su Zu is the opponent he must surpass and defeat.

At the 2005 New York Grand Prix, Suzu faced Usain Bolt head-to-head for the first time, and with an almost pilgrimage mood, he used all his strength to run a personal best of 19.79 seconds at the time.

As for Usain Bolt at the time, he will never forget his defeat.

In that race, he ran 20.33 seconds, a full 0.5 seconds or more, and was led by a large margin by a Chinese athlete who was a few months younger than him.

This has always been firmly in his mind.

He didn't have the pre-game performance of Tyson Gay like a carnivore fighting for turf against Suzu, but in his heart, he also wanted to win it back.

Standing on the runway, all the races, we want to win, don't we?

His fast cadence and wide stride made his speed increase rapidly, and the slight tilt of his body from side to side drove the cross necklace on his chest to flutter from side to side.

90 meters, 100 meters...... Curves into straights......

The audience is boiling!

By this time, all the spectators in the audience had already stood up.

At the stage of the curve to the straight, even those who are not familiar with the 200-meter run can tell who is ahead and who is behind each other by the position of the runners.

In the middle of the four, five or six passes, three red, white and yellow figures led the game.

Even Usain Bolt in lane 6 surpassed Wallace Spearmon on his right at this time, while Tyson Gay in lane 4 on the left was ahead of Marvin Anderson in lane 3 with his super cadence and acceleration ability.

Tyson Gay and Usain Bolt were almost on the same level as soon as they entered the straight, while in the fifth lane between lanes four and six, Suzu was still more than two positions ahead of the pair.

And the distance is growing.

One hundred and thirty meters, one hundred and forty meters, one hundred and fifty meters......

Three-quarters of the way through the 200-meter race, Su Zu is still ahead of the first place.

By this stage, the speed of the eight 200m runners was generally declining rapidly, and they were completely relying on their own speed and endurance to maintain their speed.

Tyson Gay has always been quite good at speed and endurance, and in comparison, the Usain Bolt has long legs and slightly better speed endurance.

It's just that at this time, Bolt is still a little weaker in absolute speed, and after going into the straight side by side, Guy seized the opportunity to overtake a position.

But the trio were still far ahead of the others.

The last fifty meters.

Tyson Gay's teeth were about to crush, pulsating desperately as his legs, which began to weigh a little, as he struggled to catch up with Suzu.

For sprinters, as long as they don't reach the finish line, they have a chance to overtake.

Usain Bolt's big stride has slowed down, and Bolt has been perfect in the first half of the game, but at this point in this game, he has realised that it may be difficult to get above it.

His speed was still maintained, but a moment of hesitation made his speed a little weaker.

……

"Tyson Gay has a strong ability to accelerate over short distances, while Bolt has a strong ability to maintain speed in the second half of the game, and Suzu is now a combination of the best of the two. After two years of sub-plateau training, Su Zu's form and ability are not outstanding in the 100-meter event, but in the 200-meter event, it is already a huge leap.

It's game on! Su Zu started very fast, Su Zu and Tyson Guy were holding each other, Su Zu entered the highest speed stage, Su Zu took the lead! Su Zu ran to the first place at the ninety meter position......"

At this time, Yang Jian, the on-site commentator of the Central Fifth Channel, maintained a state of passion from the beginning of the game, especially after the first position on the Suzu track at the beginning of 90 meters, Yang Jian's voice suddenly increased by several decibels!

“…… The corner into the straight, Su Zu, Su Zu is maintaining his fastest speed. Behind him are Tyson Gay and Usain Bolt, and the gap between the two is extremely small...... Su Zu, Su Zu! Punch the line!!

Win!

Su Zu won!

19.37 seconds!

Champion! Men's 200m Champion! A new record!

Su Zu won his second gold medal at the World Championships, which was also China's second gold medal, and also defended his world title in the men's 200m. Suzu made track and field history today by being the first athlete to win the 100m and 200m at two consecutive World Championships......
