Chapter 269: The 12th Asian Championship No. 1
At 20 o'clock in the evening of September 2, the men's 100m final of the Asian Championships.
I don't know if Su Zu was "hyped by the popularity of South Korea" on the Internet, or if yesterday's performance conquered the audience. When Su Zu came out, the applause and cheers in Wenhe Stadium were much warmer yesterday.
Such a thing of "being Korean" also stayed in some media and the Internet, Su Zu clearly responded that he was a Chinese, and then did not care, this kind of thing has become commonplace on the Internet in later generations. However, Zhang Pingqiu and Jiang Daheng in the team were a little inexplicable, and they couldn't understand what kind of thinking logic this was.
Standing on the men's 100-meter final track, Su Zu looked at the athletes around him, and these athletes on the field can be regarded as the athletes with the highest level of sprinting in Asia.
1st Lane, Vitaly Medvedev, Kazakhstan;
Second Lane, Vachora Sandy, Thailand;
the third way, Asahara, Japan;
Fourth, Suzu, China;
Fifth lane, Khalid al-Obeli, Qatar;
Sixth Path, Mubarak al-Yami, Saudi Arabia;
Seventh Path, Shingo Sue, Japan;
Eighth Path, Anil Kumar Prakash, India;
In this group of finals, in addition to Su Zu, the other two veterans of the Chinese team have been eliminated in the semi-finals, and the only two athletes participating in the final are two players from Japan.
The Chinese delegation has almost no requirements for Su Zu at the Asian Championships.
Li Zhizhong has basically not paid much attention to Su Zu in South Korea in the past few days, and is mainly busy communicating and coordinating the competitions of other track and field events.
He was very relieved of Su Zu, who was mainly competing to boost the morale of the people and let the rest of Asia see the level of China's top sprinters. With Su Zu's current level of strength, unless he is suddenly injured, it is basically impossible to lose in such a game.
Moreover, Su Zu's defeat in the Asian Championships had little impact on him.
He has already proven himself at the Olympics, IAAF Grand Prix, World Championships.
After the gunshots rang out, Suzu easily took the advantage at the 40-meter position and accelerated all the way to the sprint. The audience on the field almost saw Su Zuzheng performing alone, and the other athletes basically had a distance of several meters from him.
After the race, Japanese star Nobuhara Asahara, said in an interview, "We are not at the same level as Su, and everyone is about the same as everyone in front of us, but when you reach twenty or thirty meters, you will feel a 'buzz' next to you, like a sports car engine suddenly starting, and Su is like a gust of wind that instantly overtakes the front." ”
In 9.97 seconds, Suzu ran a time of 0.42 seconds ahead of the second place in the final, Saudi Arabia's Mubarak al-Yami, who ran 10.39 seconds.
The Korean audience at the scene applauded wildly almost at the moment when the results came out, this has nothing to do with the country and the nation, but really witnessed the wonderful performance of the Asian speed red lightning on the spot, and still ran into the 10-second mark without too strong opponents, which has to be sighed and appreciated.
Even if there is a gap between this result and the Olympic World Championships, even Su Zu's performance in the Grand Prix, no one will blame it.
In the men's 200-meter race held in the next two days, Su Zu also stood out and maintained an absolute crushing result. The men's 200m had a limited number of participants, only divided into the preliminaries and the final, and in the two races, Su Zu won another gold medal for the Chinese delegation with a time of 20.35 seconds and 19.92 seconds respectively.
After competing in the men's 100m and 200m events, the men's 4×100m relay Suzu did not compete again.
It's not because Su Zu himself proposed to rest and recover or anything, although he is not in the best condition at the moment, he will not have much challenge in the Asian Championships.
The reason is that the head coach of the relay team, Yuan Guohua, hopes to be able to train the team, and the new players in the relay team are all young and have good potential, but they lack enough competition experience.
The young athletes of the relay team are all newcomers selected from provincial teams, municipal teams and even sports schools, and there are not many competitions in China. Although the results of this World Championships met expectations and the ranking was good, it was a hard neck, and the test was the fledgling spirit of several players, and to a large extent, it still relied on the performance of Su Zu's fourth stick.
To train soldiers and generals, the Asian Athletics Championships is just right for an event at this level.
The level of the players is neither too high, but also challenging enough.
If it is the Asian Games, Su Zu will not play, it is better to say if he wins, but if he loses, Yuan Guohua, the head coach of the relay team, will definitely have to bear the pressure.
The Asian Championships have no concerns about this, after all, the degree of attention and the level of the event are completely different, which is very suitable for the young athletes of the relay team to exercise.
The men's 4×100m relay were all held on the last day of the Asian Championships.
At 16 p.m. there is the preliminaries, and at 20 p.m. there is the final.
A total of 12 relay teams from various countries and regions from China, Japan, India, South Korea, Thailand, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kazakhstan, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Chinese Taipei participated in the relay race.
The 12 teams are divided into two preliminary groups, with six teams in each group, with the top three advancing directly to the finals, and the remaining two spots being promoted by the two best teams.
The lineup of the Chinese team is Wen Yongyi, Zhang Peimeng, Dai Shengming and Chen Yuhang, Wen Yongyi is the oldest of the four young men, in 1984, and the other people from the Bayi team are Dai Shengming in 1986, Zhang Peimeng and Chen Yuhang are both the same age as Su Zu, 1987.
The appearance of these people is actually very related to Su Zu, in the original time and space, they may not have entered the national team, or they may not have entered the national team so early. However, because of the implementation of the strategy of driving individual events with relays in advance, he was able to be recruited into the national team early for training.
There is actually a very important reason for the success of Su Zu and Liu Yangyu in the analysis of the Athletics Management Center, that is, both of them skipped this step of the provincial team after they emerged a little, and directly entered the national team for training.
Although the athletes and the local teams are still inextricably linked, the competition and training have been taken over by the field management center, and they have been trained more scientifically, and at the same time, they have also avoided the intrigue and bad habits of many provincial teams.
At the highest stage of an athlete's growth, training and competition from unreasonable training can be fatal to an athlete's entire career, not to mention some bad habits of thought, and teenagers are the most vulnerable to external influences.
Sprinters, on the other hand, don't want to get results as early as gymnastics diving, and they have to wait until their bodies are fully developed and they reach their peak. This hard, boring, and repeated training lasts longer, and no matter how talented the seedlings are, if they slack off, their achievements will be limited.
In the men's 4×100m relay preliminaries, the Chinese team played well, running a time of 39.25 seconds, overpowering the Thai team, which was the first in the preliminaries group.
However, in the final of the men's 4×100m relay later, the Chinese team only won the second place with a time of 39.17 seconds. The championship was won by the Japanese team with Shingo Sueji and Nobuji Asahara, with a time of 39.10 seconds.
Thailand finished third with a time of 39.23 seconds, while Saudi Arabia finished fourth with a time of 39.25 seconds. After that, the other Indian teams, the Chinese Taipei team, and the previous teams were more than 0.5 seconds apart.
The Korean team, which finished last, ran a time of 40.57 seconds, a difference of more than one second, and you can already imagine how many meters behind them are on the field.
When the last men's 4×100m relay ended, the Asian Athletics Championships had come to an end.
The Chinese delegation topped the list with 17 gold, 8 silver, and 10 bronze, with a total of 35 medals, followed by Japan with 6 gold, 5 silver, and 12 bronze, and the third place was Qatar, with 6 gold, 3 silver, and 3 bronze.
Starting from Kuwait in 1983, the Chinese delegation ranked first in the 12th consecutive Asian Athletics Championships.
