On the 100-meter track, the speed of the eight runners was vividly displayed at this time.

Both in front of the TV and in the audience, they watched intently at the lightning speed displayed by the eight semifinalists in this group.

As soon as the acceleration stage of 30 meters passed, Su Zu jumped to the first position with an obvious advantage, and the perfect combination of strong and powerful stride length and amazingly fast cadence made Su Zu have an advantage in the ten meters after the start, and this advantage was completely highlighted after the acceleration stage of 30 meters.

Quick starting response, rapid start acceleration, and every step is perfectly combined with your stride length and cadence. In the first step and the second step, Su Zu may not have seen any advantages.

The large stride at the beginning requires the ball of the foot and the ground to increase the landing area to some extent, and the large area of contact between the ball of the foot and the ground prolongs the time for the ball of the foot to contact the ground.

But at the same point, this kind of running style has a greater reaction force on the ground with both feet at the moment of acceleration at the start, which reduces the height of the leg extension.

In the first one or two moves, you may be behind the competitors who started just as well, but from the third step, you will soon be able to gain an advantage.

Moreover, the body moves forward in a straight line, without too much swaying to consume physical energy and time, and every step of the legs will obtain enough acceleration power.

As the speed increases, the area between the soles of the feet and the ground also gradually decreases, and by the end of the peak of speed, the cadence will become faster and faster.

With only a distance of 30 meters, Su Zu has already fully demonstrated his running style after adjusting his skills for most of the year.

Derek Atkins, who was biting Suzu, felt unprecedented pressure just from this start.

The new Bahamian sprinter was at the peak of his body and form in 2007 and arguably didn't go head-to-head with Tyson Gay this year.

He has won several Grand Prix races, both Suzu and Powell, which has had a profound impact on the confidence of the young players.

In his mind, he should have a chance to qualify first in the group in this semi-final, and on such a big stage of the World Championships, the men's 100-meter semi-finals, at least the first eight or ninety meters are not likely to be retained.

At this time, facing Su Zu, he really saw the Oriental athlete from Asia, who was rumored by the world, and the current men's 100-meter world record holder has such terrifying strength.

"Gotta win, gotta win!"

This is the only thought left in Derrick Atkins' mind at this time, and he has the best finish in the men's 100m in 2007, and he still has a lot of newcomers who are completely unwilling to admit defeat.

If you want to gain a foothold in the world sports arena, there is no doubt that you can only win those top players who have added honors, and the corner of his eyes in the sixth lane is almost staring at Su Zu, who is more than a position ahead of him.

Forty meters, fifty meters......

Derek Atkins felt that his speed had reached the limit, entering the highest speed of the race, and at this point he found that instead of keeping up with Suzu, the distance between the two was widening.

From the gap of half a body, it slowly became a position, two positions, and the distance was widening.

On the field, at this stage, the positions of the eight contestants can already be clearly seen with the naked eye, and Su Zu is taking the lead, and the speed is getting faster and faster.

The full starting acceleration made Su Zu's absolute speed far exceed that of other competitors on the way in, and the 10-meter distance from 40 meters to 50 meters has reached 0.82 seconds, and this is not the limit!

Derrick Atkins is getting anxious, and although he is a few years older than Suzu in '84, he is still a newcomer to the world stage compared to his major tournament experience, and has the common problem of most rookie players - it is easy to be carried out of rhythm, and when facing strong opponents, he will feel powerless.

At this time, there was a sudden loud exclamation from the quiet scene after the start.

Yang Jian, who was sitting in the media area and watching all the players' every move, shouted in surprise: "...... Powell caught up, he was amazingly fast, he overtook Derrick Atkins, he was chasing Suzu ......"

"Whew", Derek Atkins, who was in the sixth lane, seemed to suddenly feel a huge sense of oppression, although he only swept the afterglow and did not turn his head, but at fifty meters, purely subconsciously, a figure came from behind and caught up with him.

The feeling of being neck and neck, and competing wildly with him on the same level, was so clear.

That's, Asafa Powell!

It seems that the psychological pressure was due to other factors, and Asafa Powell's acceleration from the start was not as fast as he had when he was competing with Suzu, but the slightly slower start did not affect him particularly much.

In some of the past races, Asafa Powell has often appeared that if he didn't start perfectly, he would just run and give up the race if he fell behind in the first half of the game.

But this time, no!

As he said before the game, he is more hungry than anyone to prove himself with a gold medal.

At this time, there was no one else in Powell's eyes, he just looked at the runway in front of him, and he was running on his own.

He knew that the start was slow, because of the interference of injury recovery and psychological factors, he couldn't completely rule it out, and hesitated at the moment when the gun rang out.

And once he was in running mode, he remembered what his coach had told him in that Jamaican mountain village.

Think of yourself as running and training alone.

Don't think about other runners, just run.

It doesn't matter how fast the opponent is, whether he is ahead, whether he will catch up, and whether he will become a laughing stock of "big competition" again.

All he needs to do well is himself.

I have been following my own rhythm, following the instinct of my body, and running to the finish line as fast as possible.

That's it, this is Asafa Powell, who has been reborn after the baptism of the heart!

Sixty meters, seventy meters, eighty meters......

Suzu's lead is widening, while Asafa Powell is already starting to take the lead after a brief stint with Derrick Atkins.

For a top athlete in the 100m in 2006 with a peak time of 9.73 seconds, and this year's best time of 9.98 seconds, the absolute strength gap of 0.2 seconds, even if the start is a little slow, he can still catch up with his strong strength in the second half of the race.

In Derrick Atkins' eyes, he's playing against the best, while Suzu and Powell see them more against themselves.

The finish line is in sight.

Su Zu breathed a sigh of relief, and in the last few steps, he did not continue to maintain the speed of the sprint.

Two hours later, the final was reached, and he didn't fight all the way to the semi-finals like he had done in those previous games.

In the 2004 Olympics, when he entered such a major competition for the first time, every step was beyond the previous results, so he could let go of the fight.

Now, he has enough experience in the competition and has learned to control his physical distribution and race schedule for the upcoming final and the 200m later.

Since there was no problem, he didn't think about running a world record in the semifinals directly.

However, Rao was Su Zu last a few steps, but his lead was big enough to still cross the finish line in first place.

And after Su Zu crossed the finish line, the scene suddenly cheered.

On the yellow chronograph board next to the finish line, the electronic numerals of 9.86 seconds are extremely dazzling.

To be able to run such a result in the semi-finals, Su Zu's performance has left the audience at the scene and in front of the TV set speechless, and everyone can see that he is in good shape.

And at the moment when Suzu crossed the finish line, Asafa Powell, who had run from sixty or seventy meters to second place, also crossed the finish line.

When all the runners crossed the finish line, Powell raised his head and looked at the results on the big screen, 9.90 seconds, and his expression was still unwavering.

This is certainly not a big deal compared to his personal best, but this year it is one of his better. And his eyes were faintly filled with some unusual expectations.

Derek Atkins, who crossed the finish line third, was 10.04 seconds.

Surprisingly, the fourth player to advance was not 2003 world champion Kim Collins, nor one of the few white players in Britain, Craig Pickering.

It was the Slovenian veteran Madik Osovnikar in lane 9 who clocked 10.17 seconds, and the veteran who competed at the Sydney 2000 Olympics and the '03 and '05 World Championships finally made the final list for the first time.

“…… In the wonderful game, Suzu and Powell successfully advanced to the finals together, and the performance of the two in this semi-final can be seen that there are not all efforts or mistakes, but the final results are still eye-catching. The next group of semi-finals will be played by Tyson Gay, Marlon Devonish, Kuranti Martina and other famous players, I wonder what kind of performance they will have, whether they will be able to meet Suzu and Powell in the finals to compete for the men's 100m gold medal at this World Championships......"

In Yang Jian's commentary, the players in the first group of the semifinals withdrew from the field and began to adjust and rest against time, while the semifinalists of the second group appeared on the field.

Two hours later, on the same track, the final winner of the men's 100m at this World Championships will be revealed.
