Chapter 239: A veteran of the counterattack

“…… All the runners had already walked on the starting grid and the race started immediately, Suzu was in lane 4 next to him and next to Shaun Crawford, Suzu was third at the Athens Olympics and he was fourth...... Now the audience is quieter, and everyone is waiting with bated breath......"

Yang Jian's voice came out through the screens of thousands of households again, his voice was slightly excited, he was an athlete from the 110-meter hurdles, but the commentary on the men's 100-meter would make him feel more passionate.

At this time in China, the spectators who were watching the game on TV in the middle of the morning and the athletes squatted down and waited for the gunshots to go off, and everyone's breathing sounded much lighter.

It's an intense, intense, and very fast sport. Although it is only a short time of more than ten seconds, it can make the viewer instantly adrenaline rush.

“SET!”

"Smack!"

Race guns rang out!

"Game on!"

The audience in the auditorium and in front of the TV, the moment they heard the starting gun, in front of the men's 100-meter starting line, the eight runners had already exerted their strength, brushing and pulling from the stationary state to start swinging their arms.

The scene, which was originally quiet, was suddenly resounded by overwhelming cheers and cheers.

These Finnish spectators, who were able to watch the games in the rain, had a great passion for athletics, especially when they enjoyed the competitive sports competitions that represent the highest speed of human beings at their doorstep.

The powerful impact that suddenly erupted from the bulging muscles was like a whirlwind born from the ground.

It's so fast that you almost don't dare to blink, because when you open and close your eyes, you can pass a distance of several meters.

The moment Su Zu heard the gunshot, he started the starting action completely subconsciously and instinctively, and this kind of training of a thousand times and ten thousand times has formed a conditioned reflex.

At this moment, other athletes also started to start in an instant after the starting gun.

Needless to say, the fastest starting reaction was Leonard Scott, a 180-year-old black American with a reaction speed that didn't fit his size and the ability to accelerate in the first half of the race. In the first moment of starting, he quickly seized the advantage, although this advantage was not large, only less than half a body, but the 100-meter competition, even if it was only 0.01 seconds, could seal the victory.

However, the others are not too slow to start and accelerate to the start, and they are all young athletes, although they don't have a lot of experience in running with guns, but their nerves are fast enough. Australia's Josh Rose, Trinidad and Tobago's Mark Burns, Jamaica's Michael Follett and Nigeria's Fasuba were all born between '81 and '84, at the prime of their sprint prime.

Obikviru's face was a little hideous, his mouth open to reveal his slitted front teeth, and after the gunshot, he swung his arms vigorously and began to accelerate with his steps.

In 2005, he had very few sprints, and in this time and space, he did not have the results of the Athens Olympics, although he was still the top sprinter, and he also ran the 9.9 mark in Eugene this year, but it was still not enough.

He also needs better results to prove himself.

Especially as an immigrant athlete, the pressure he is under is actually very high.

Obikoviru got off to a fast start after the gunshot, and his starting reaction was good, and after more than half a year of practice, he has improved tremendously.

Although the starting acceleration is still not the top due to the length of his legs, as long as it can give him a clear disadvantage, it is enough for him to run an ideal result.

After the start, it immediately entered the fastest acceleration stage, and in the first 30 meters, Leonard Scott took a certain lead, although the audience in front of the audience and the audience in front of the TV set probably couldn't see the specific difference because of the angle.

But at this moment, Leonard Scott is indeed faster than others, he is the fifth, Su Zu is the fourth, in the starting acceleration of this short distance of dozens of meters, Su Zu can feel that Leonard Scott's speed is faster than him.

After all, at the London Grand Prix less than half a month ago, he was already able to run a time of 9.94 seconds, which was already higher than Su Zu's level in the first half of the race.

In addition to Scott grabbing a certain advantage after these few steps, like Jamaica's Michael Flatt and Trinidad and Tobago's Mark Burns, the speed is also amazing, and the first 30 meters are not weak at all, and they are all biting tightly.

As soon as the speed of 30 meters is passed, the athlete gradually rises upright from a bent posture to an upright position, and the speed enters the fastest running stage.

Su Zu is in the fourth lane in the middle, and he can clearly see the movements of the athletes on the left and right lanes, but at this distance, he will not pay attention to the movements on both sides of him, but his eyes are locked on the finish line.

After last year's winter training at IMG Academy, Suzu's cadence is now bigger than before, and his speed increase in the first 30 meters may not be as high as Leonard Scott's, but once the speed is raised, he will get faster and faster when he enters the middle stage. Until the stage of 50 meters to 70 meters, it enters the highest speed state of 100 meters.

Fifty meters......

Su Zu gradually caught up with Leonard Scott, and the two reached a level and were neck and neck.

Behind the two are the fastest Mark Burns and Michael Flatt, who are just a position away from Suzu and Leonard Scott.

Unexpectedly, Athens Olympic 200m champion and fourth-place finisher in the 100m Shaun Crawford fell to the bottom of the list, flanked by Obikwiru and Australian rookie Josh Rose.

Of course, there are not many of the three people behind, only two more positions to half a meter of distance, only ran 50 meters, everyone is in the acceleration stage, at this time, the reaction speed, the acceleration of the athlete will generally have an advantage.

But the best runners in the second half of the race will rush up quickly from this distance.

Sixty meters, seventy meters......

Su Zu gradually came to the fore, and his speed increased to the extreme.

At this time, the audience in front of the TV also heard the screams of the commentary, which was almost raised to the extreme: "The game begins!" Suzu had a good start,...... Su Zu was accelerating, Su Zu caught up with Scott, and Su Zu ran to the first position......"

In just a few seconds, it is not easy for a commentator to not only watch the game attentively, but also express it in the fastest language.

At the beginning, Yang Jian often forgot to explain because he was too focused on the game and controlled his emotions, but by now, he has no way to control his emotions at all, and no matter whether he has a speech problem or not, he just watches the game and vents his emotions.

80 meters, 90 meters...... The finish line is in sight.

At this distance, Su Zu ran to the first position, and it can already be said that he has the chance to win.

By this time, Leonard Scott had already pulled away more than half a meter from him, and Michael Fleet was even further away from the rest of the fighters, making it almost impossible to catch up.

This trip has been running until now, and Su Zu has not had the slightest reservation. After all, he wants to be promoted to the first place, and if he doesn't get an absolute advantage, he doesn't dare to be careless. However, if he can have a stable advantage, he will think a little about the final in two hours.

Wait, at this moment, the afterglow of Su Zu's eyes swept over, and suddenly a dark figure suddenly jumped up.

"Who?" Thoughts passed through my mind.

Su Zu couldn't believe it, he ran at 50 meters to get the advantage, and the distance of 90 meters should have sealed the victory, and who suddenly jumped up at this time.

The words are very long, but in just ten seconds, they are really like electricity.

When Su Zu's thoughts had just risen, in the last ten meters, the two had already broken through in an instant and ran across the finish line!

9.87 seconds!

At the moment of crossing the finish line, Su Zu looked at the results that jumped out of the timing board.

This was the best result Su Zu had ever run last time, but this time it wasn't his.

After running over the finish line, Su Zu looked sideways towards the right side of the runway.

There, Obikviru gasped and turned his head to grin at him.

More than ten seconds later, on the big screen at the Olympic Stadium, all the players in the first group of the semifinals came out:

1st place, Francis Obiqueru, Portugal, 9.87 seconds;

second place, Su Zu, China, 9.90 seconds;

third, Leonard Scott, USA, 10.08 seconds;

fourth, Michael Flett, Jamaica, 10.09 seconds;

fifth, Mark Burns, Trinidad and Tobago, 10.12 seconds;

Sixth, Fasuba, Nigeria, 10.18 seconds;

7th place, Josh Ross, Australia, 10.27 seconds;

eighth, Sean Crawford, USA, 10.28 seconds;

"Sue, I won this trip!"

Obikviru said with a smile as he bared his two front teeth that were a little wide apart.

"You've won, Francis." Su Zu was also surprised by Obikviru's state, and when he felt that he had locked the win, he was suddenly surpassed by Obikviru.

"See you in the finals!" Obi Kruwe glanced at Suzu and beckoned.

He has mixed feelings about Su Zu, and it is impossible for anyone to be sent off for running in the Olympics easily. He didn't win back the last Grand Prix, but this time in the semi-finals, he finally won.

However, this is only the semi-finals.

"See you in the final, Francis!"

Su Zu looked at the back of the other party leaving, and said softly, at this moment, Su Zu found that he really underestimated the famous generals of the previous generation. I remembered the phrase "veterans don't die" for no reason.

In another time and space, although Obikviru at this time is still the world's top sprinter and the fastest runner in Europe, he no longer has such hard work and state because of the honorary aura of the runner-up in the Athens Olympics.

But this time it was completely different, and the defeat at the Athens Olympics left him with nostalgia. He wants to make a comeback, and he wants to go for higher honors.

"It's a good thing to have such an opponent!"

The corners of Su Zu's mouth curled up and he laughed.

Unconsciously, he has also been regarded as a fierce rival by famous athletes, and has become the target that countless athletes want to surpass.
