On September 28, the Asian Athletics All-Star Race.

After finishing the finals of the National Track and Field Grand Prix, Su Zu and the track and field team rushed to Singapore on the evening of the 27th non-stop to attend the opening ceremony of today's official Asian Athletics All-Star Race and related publicity activities.

This is Asia's athletics event, organized by the IAAF Asian Athletics Association, mainly to promote the influence of athletics in Asia.

The main reason why Su Zu, Liu Yangyu and Xing Huina participated in this Asian All-Star Game is to receive the Asian Athletics "Outstanding Contribution Award" by the Asian Athletics Federation.

Don't look at it as just awarded by the Asian Athletics Federation, but for the domestic track and field events at this time, it is still worth mentioning to be able to achieve such huge results.

In terms of track and field events, Asia as a whole is weak, and over the years, it has spared no effort to vigorously support and promote, and in some countries and regions with poor conditions, the Asian Athletics Federation has funded the construction of training venues and sponsored equipment.

Su Zu did not participate in the men's 100m race on the day of the All-Star Game, and neither Liu Yangyu nor Xing Huina nor others played.

Although there is a prize money of 2,000 Meiya for the single event champion of the competition, for Su Zu and Liu Yangyu, who have just finished the IAAF All-Star Game in Yokohama, it is not too meaningful and challenging to participate in this competition again.

The only requirement of the athletics management center is that a few people can appear as Olympic champions and represent the country's achievements in track and field events.

The Asian All-Star Game is held at the National Stadium in Singapore, which is not a large venue with more than 10,000 seats, but the facilities and environment are very good. Next to the sea, the building style is also very modern. Due to space constraints, it will be rebuilt again in another 10 years.

Before the All-Star Game began, there was a medal ceremony. In addition to Su Zu, Liu Yangyu and Xing Huina, there are also two Japanese women's marathon runners Mizuki Noguchi and hammer thrower Hiroji Murofushi, who won the gold medal later, a total of five people won the Asian Athletics "Outstanding Contribution Award".

Suzu's commendation focused on being the first Asian athlete to run 10 seconds and winning one gold, one silver and one bronze at the Athens Olympics, with several other athletes being Olympic champions in their respective events.

Although he did not participate in the competition, the atmosphere of the day still made Su Zu feel a little amazing, and the audience and media were following him almost everywhere he went. Although he is still very unaccustomed, he is also adapting to this change of identity.

His three medals received the most attention than any other individual Olympic gold medal, and even Asian Athletics Federation president Dahran Ahmad was thrilled when he presented the award to Suzu.

After the award, he said in front of the media: Su Zu's achievements are great for China and Asian track and field, and the dream of Asians has been realized.

Su Zu was the focus of almost all the media on the scene, and this time the media coverage was not only domestic, but also had a lot of influence throughout Asia.

After the award ceremony, several winners rested in a room arranged by the organizers after a series of interviews.

"How does it feel to win for the first time?" Liu Yangyu saw that Su Zu had been staring at the trophy and asked him with a smile.

"It's heavy." Su Zu looked at the trophy in his hand and smiled.

The trophy is actually quite ordinary, just do the work, and the base is engraved with the honor and name of the winner in Chinese and English.

The first time he won an unexpected sports award in the event, it is still relatively novel, this kind of recognition is not a direct achievement award, but a recognition of the meaning behind his achievements.

The 10-second mark in the 100m is not only a dream of generations of Chinese people, but also Japan, the strongest men's sprinter in the past, is also striving to break it, which is the goal of sprinters throughout Asia. Before the influx of naturalized athletes, the significance of this 10-second mark was of great significance in Asian athletics.

"This is the first time I've won an award outside of the arena." Su Zu put down the trophy in his hand and sighed softly.

He used to be a person with some experience, and after the Athens Olympics, his life must have changed to some extent. Although limited by age, it will still radiate from a pure sports athlete to other areas of society.

"My second time." Liu Yangyu shook the trophy and said with a smile.

This Su Zu also knows that Liu Yangyu was selected for the National Top Ten Laureus Champion Award in March 2004. At that time, the winners were basically Da Yao and other Olympic champions Li Xiaopeng, Zhang Yining and others.

Su Zu was nominated, but in the end he was not selected. At the time, he was busy preparing for the World Indoor Athletics Championships, and he didn't pay attention to it, and in terms of awards, he lacked a world-class weight award.

However, Su Zu doesn't care about this national top ten Laureus champion award, and he will definitely be indispensable to that Avenue of Stars in 2005.

And it's not the Laureus World Sports Awards, and it's not because of this psychological imbalance.

"Su Zu, the organizing committee has something I want to communicate with you."

When Su Zu and Liu Yangyu were taking a break in the room and looking at the trophy, the door of the lounge was pushed open, and assistant coach Zhang Pingqiu pushed the door and walked in.

This time the award ceremony Lao Li did not follow, he and Liu Yangyu's coach were in a meeting at the Athletics Management Center, busy sorting out the arrangements for the winter training later.

"What's wrong?" Su Zu stood up and asked with some confusion.

"The race organisers want you to run a 100-meter run." Zhang Pingqiu said in a low voice.

Su Zu was slightly stunned when he heard this, he had communicated before, he and Liu Yangyu and several Japanese athletes were just here to receive the award this time, and they could attend some activities, but they didn't participate in the competition, so why did they suddenly want him to run away now.

"You're so popular, they're willing to raise the prize money for the men's 100m event to $30,000." Zhang Pingqiu saw Su Zu's doubts and explained in a low voice.

In an interview, the Singapore Athletics Association gave an external answer that the 16 competition events were determined before the Athens Olympics, and there was no way to know whether the five top athletes would confirm their participation in time.

But now when the media and spectators at the scene learned that Su Zu would not participate, they immediately became turbulent, hoping that Su Zu could appear on the 100-meter track.

At the just-concluded IAAF All-Star Race in Yokohama, he defeated Olympic champion Justin Gatlin and set a new Asian record again. Under this pressure, the Singapore Athletics Association could only hurry up and communicate with Su Zu.

"Can I run?"

Su Zuke was not carried away by Zhang Pingqiu's $30,000 single championship bonus, but confirmed with Zhang Pingqiu again.

As I said before, his event schedule has to be confirmed by the athletics management center many times, which is something that a professional athlete must abide by, not just participate in any event.

"I've been on the phone with Director Yu, and there's no problem. This in itself is a good thing to promote the image of our country and promote the Olympic Games. Zhang Pingqiu replied.

"That's fine." Su Zu nodded, he was not averse to the competition, but there was no suitable opponent, he had just finished the IAAF All-Star Game in Yokohama, and he couldn't afford to run Asia again.

Now, however, as if for another purpose, the natural meaning is different.

After some communication, at the start of the men's 100m event, Su Zu appeared on the track of the Singapore National Stadium.

The moment Su Zu appeared, the enthusiastic cheers of the audience almost reached their peak. Especially for most Chinese, although their nationality and three views may be different, it is not wrong to say that they are of the same language and the same species. For Su Zu to be able to walk on the runway again, he gave the warmest applause.

Because Su Zu is a new member, there were only eight athletes in the men's 100m event of the All-Star Race, but now they have to be added.

Su Zu stood on the ninth road, which was closest to the audience, which was still quite novel. Since he participated in sports competitions, he has run from the first lane to the eighth lane, of which the middle four, five or six lanes are the most run, and the ninth lane is the first time.

Su Zu glanced at the other eight athletes in the same group, and there were two or three familiar ones, like Saudi Arabia's Al Yami, who competed at the Asian Athletics Championships last year, and basically didn't know the rest.

Although it was an Asian All-Star Race, the real top sprinters in Asia, Shingo Asahara, who wanted to be in Japan, did not come at all.

After a live radio introduction to the athletes, the race started quickly!

After the starting gun sounded, the audience watched Su Zu almost ride in the dust from the start on the track, and completely distanced himself from other athletes.

Su Zu still ran more seriously at the beginning, now that he is on the runway, it is difficult for him to accept that the champion will be left behind others when his strength is sufficient.

However, the gap between the sports eye in the same group and his level is really too big, and he ran to the last few meters and confirmed that he locked the championship before starting to release.

The time was 9.98 seconds! Ran into the 10-second mark again.

Although this result cannot be compared to the Olympic Games and the IAAF All-Star Race in Yokohama, it is enough to satisfy the organizers and the audience.

There is only one athlete in Asia who can run under 10 seconds, and he really witnessed it once.

The atmosphere of the scene was pushed to a climax.
