"Coach, who are the athletes in the 200 meters?"

After the women's 800m, the men's 200m race will start immediately. After Jiang Daheng gave him a short pre-game massage, Su Zu got up and jumped in place twice, gently moving his body.

"It should be mostly newcomers from North America. However, after all, the United States is the number one power in track and field, and even if the well-known 200-meter athletes do not come to the competition, the strength of those who come will not be too weak. ”

Li Zhizhong flipped over the list of 200-meter races in his hand, many athletes are relatively unfamiliar to him, and considering the short distance between the men's 100 meters and 200 meters, he did not ask Su Zu to pay attention to it, just let it go.

Su Zu nodded, after all, his main event is 100 meters, and he has already won a championship in the Grand Prix, so there is no pressure now.

And Shaun Crawford, Bernard Williams, and Justin Gatlin didn't come to the competition, and he didn't have much thought for a while, so it is estimated that there should be no famous players to participate.

But when Su Zu stood on the 200-meter starting line, looking at several other players in the same group, he was really a little blind.

Indeed, most of the people who came to participate in the 200m Grand Prix in Eugene were newcomers, except for Stefan Buckland of Mauritius and Tobias Gel of Germany, who were the finalists and semi-finalists of the 200m at the Athens Olympics, and the other five were all American rookies, with their birth dates basically from 82 to 86, and a few of them were not much different from Su Zu in terms of age.

But none of these five American 200m rookies will be unknown in later generations, and each of them will be a figure who records the history of track and field.

The first lane, Tobias Gel, a German veteran, just ran 20.20 seconds on German soil this year, setting a new national record in Germany. This time, I also want to improve myself by competing with other 200m masters in the Grand Prix.

The second way, Wallace Spearmon, born in 84, and Tyson Gay are training partners, with a small braid, in the men's 200m event in 06 years ran a time of 19.65 seconds, ranking eighth in the world men's 200m athletes.

In the third lane, Javier Carter, born in '85, won the Florida men's 100, 200 and 400m championships two years in a row. In 06, he ran his personal best time of 19.63 seconds, and the world men's 200m athlete ranked seventh.

The fourth lane, Tyson Gaye, was born in '82 and will be the second fastest in the world men's 100m, and the American men's 100m record is held by him at 9.69 seconds. At this time, he had just entered the field of athletics, focusing on the 200m, and the best time in the original 200m was 19.58 seconds, and the world men's 200m athlete ranked sixth.

Sixth, Walter Dicks, born in '86, later set a time of 19.53 seconds in the 200m in Brussels, ranking fourth in the world men's 200m, and he was still a freshman at this year's NCAA Championships, beating Tyson Gay at this year's NCAA Championships.

Seventh, Stefan Buckland, Mauritian sprinter, Athens Olympic Games men's 200m finalist, personal best 20.06 seconds set in Paris, France in 2003.

The eighth lane, Lashawn Merritt, born in 86, is a special 400m athlete, who later ranked sixth in the world in the 400m event with 43.65 seconds and 12th in the world in the 200m with 19.74 seconds.

The five American rookies are all in the growth stage of their debut at this time, and many of the 200m races in Eugene are mainly to feel the atmosphere of the competition, and their personal competitive level has not yet reached the best results in later generations, but their strength should not be underestimated.

Even at this stage, all five are capable of running the 20-second mark.

Among them, the strongest at the moment are Wallace Spearmon, Javier Carter and Tyson Gaye.

While Su Zu was observing several other people, the five American players were also observing Su Zu.

Among them, Tyson Gay and Spearmon needless to say, Tyson Gay has been paying attention to Suzu's movements since last year's Athens Olympics, and is very clear about Suzu's results in the 1200 meters.

Others, such as Javier Carter, Rashawn Merritt, and Walter Dix, were all born in 85 or 86, and they also had a certain curiosity about Suzu.

Compared with Su Zu, in addition to having a certain popularity in the United States, they are still outright newcomers in the world sports world.

Last year's runner-up time of 19.96 seconds at the Athens Olympics was not unsurpassable for these young American athletes.

Many of them have run in training, but some of them have failed the Olympic trials, and some are still young in high school and college, all of them are amateur athletes, and they have not yet considered a professional path.

If the Olympic runner-up in the 200m is an old athlete, like Frankie Fredericks. Either the result is eye-catching enough to run 19.90 seconds, and that's it.

But Su Zu's 200-meter results and age were not enough to convince these young American athletes, and they all aroused their competitive spirit.

After seeing these five 200-meter American rookies, Su Zu also sighed in his heart that there are really too many track and field talents in the United States.

Tyson Gaye will not talk about it, this will definitely be the strongest competitor in the future.

It's the others, each with a high level of athletic talent, coupled with a scientifically excellent training method, even if they are a little weaker in the men's 100m event at this time. But in the 200m and 400m, it's really world-class.

“On your marks！”

On the 200-meter starting corner, eight athletes completed the final pre-race preparations and walked onto the starting block amid the referee's order.

Su Zu gathered his thoughts and maintained the greatest concentration the moment he stepped on the starting block.

This race will be more intense than the 100 meters 15 minutes ago.

Syllable!

The electronic starting gun rang out.

If you look down on the field, on the bend of the track and field track at Hayward Stadium, on eight tracks with different positions in front and back, athletes start to accelerate at the same time as the gunshots rang out.

Su Zu's reaction speed is very fast, and compared to other athletes who are all special 200 meters, he has a relatively faster starting reaction speed in the 100 meters.

However, he reacted quickly from the start, but he did not increase the speed to the extreme at the first time, but maintained a large stride with an inherent rhythm and gradually accelerated.

Su Zu deliberately adjusted and lengthened the starting acceleration distance when he ran 200 meters, and now he feels much brisker than before when he runs 200 meters.

The improvement of flexibility makes him more comfortable in cornering acceleration, and the increase in physical fitness points is not obvious for the speed improvement, but it still has a significant effect on physical recovery.

After running 100 meters, he ran another 200 meters, and he didn't feel any strain, and his physical condition was still very good.

In the front corner, the speed of the eight athletes is relatively consistent, and there is almost no difference between the first 60 meters and the start, and the eight athletes still maintain the distance at the start.

German veteran Tobias Gel in lane 1 and Stefan Buckland in lane 7 are running at maximum speed due to their strength limitations.

Spearmon in lane 2 and Tyson Gay in lane 4, as well as Walter Dicks in lane 6, are typical of those who run faster and faster as they enter the lane.

This is similar to Su Zu's 200-meter run with a change of pace, with a long acceleration time, a high-speed peak in the middle of the run, and finally a gradual weakening.

Like Lashawn Merritt in lane eight, he is the kind of person whose speed level is not the highest, running 100 meters must be 10 seconds away, but after starting to accelerate, he can maintain his speed, the first 100 meters can not run in 10 seconds, but the second 100 meters have no acceleration process, often within 10 seconds.

Sixty meters ago, the field was evenly matched, and it was almost impossible to see any big difference.

As soon as the sixty meters passed, the gap gradually came out.

In the cornering stage, because of the relationship between the number of stretches, unless it is obvious to overtake, the general audience can also see the obvious lead and backwardness.

However, professional athlete coaches have seen that the first to fall is the German veterans Tobias Gel and Stefan Buckland, although the 200 meters of the two are good, but after all, they have not reached the level of breaking 20, especially the first lane where Tobias Sgel is located, has gradually been distanced by Wallace Spearmon in the second lane.

And Stefan Buckland, who is in lane seven, is gradually being caught up by Walter Dix in lane six.

One hundred meters, one hundred and ten meters......

Curves into straights.

At this time, the gap caused by the number of stretches is gradually smoothed out between the passes, and the gap between the players can gradually be seen.

Leading the way are Wallace Spearmon and Javier Carter, as well as Suzu, with the trio tied for first place.

Spearmon and Javier Carter both ran their best individual results in 2006, and although there is still a year to go, their level has reached the top level in the world at this time, and Suzu is not far behind.

They were followed by Tyson Gay and Walter Dicks, who were just half a position apart and were always close behind the leading two.

Tyson Gay was not yet in his prime, and Walter Dicks was relatively immature, but the gap was not too big.

At this moment, Suzu felt a little like during the Athens Olympics, facing Shaun Crawford and Leonard Williams, and the level of the players was higher than he imagined.

Although these athletes are young, they will surpass Athens champion Sean Crawford in the history of track and field in the future, and their strength is very amazing.

Su Zu obviously felt that his 200-meter speed was faster than that of the Athens Olympics, from last year's winter training to the present, Su Zujia's attribute points have increased a lot, and in the 100-meter race, the performance of the run has not improved much, but in the 200 meters, because the distance has been lengthened, his running feeling is very clear, and he is getting faster.

His whole state is completely up, he is more excited than in the 100 meters, and he plays better!

But even so, he failed to grab the first advantage at this time, and was still tightly bitten by several people.

Straight.

The last eighty meters remaining.

At this time, the speed of the athletes on the field has soared to a peak state, and as the distance of running is getting longer and longer, the speed begins to gradually decline from the peak.

But there is another athlete, Lashawn Merritt, the future 400m world No. 4 super-strongman, who has been keeping up with steady speed, not fast or slow.

One hundred and fifty meters, one hundred and sixty meters......

Suzu was already running with all his might, and he gradually pulled away from Wallace Spearmon and Javier Carter, taking the lead, running first. But at this time, his advantage is not obvious, but more than half a position.

These two fighters are already at the peak of their careers, and they are moving faster than they can imagine.

Behind the three of them, Tyson Gaye's strength in the middle and second half is also vividly reflected, with a large stride, super speed and endurance, and constantly closer.

And at this time, Lashawn Merritt, a 400-meter athlete, has maintained a high speed with strong speed and endurance, and the gap between him and everyone is getting smaller and smaller.

One hundred and seventy meters, one hundred and eighty meters, one hundred and ninety meters......

The finish line is in sight.

The sound of footsteps and the sound of the wind sounded in his ears, and Su Zu couldn't care about the position of the other runners at this time, and only had the final finish line in his eyes.

Rush the line!

Almost instantly, the spectators on the sidelines stood up and stared blankly at the finish line.

Su Zu turned around and looked at the results on the display board next to the finish line, 19.83 seconds, he won!

He was the first to cross the finish line!

Under the siege and interception of five American sprint rookies, he broke his own record again!

And this time, compared to his previous 200m time, is an improvement of 0.13 seconds.

second, Wallace Spearmon, 19.85 seconds;

third place Javier Carter in 19.87 seconds;

fourth, Tyson Gaye, 19.90 seconds;

fifth, Lashawn Merritt, 19.97 seconds;

sixth Walter Dicks, 20.04 seconds;

Seventh Stefan Buckland, 20.17 seconds;

Eighth place Tobias Gel, 20.24 seconds.

This is a high-level competition than the 200m final of the Athens Olympics.

Su Zu played his best in the face of these 200m runners who were in the best condition and had just entered the World Athletics Championships.

19.83 seconds, this is a result that Su Zu never expected, and under the heavy attack of five American rookies, he completely broke out at the best level of strength.

200 meters, but what about the 100 meters limit? Isn't one Obi Keviru enough.

For a while, Suzu missed Justin Gatlin, Morris Green, Asafa Powell, and Tyson Gaye and Jamaican Lightning, who were not yet fully at their peak.

Potential values, attribute points, are just visual data, he gave Su Zu a reference for progress, but what kind of results he can run in the end still needs to be stimulated by these countless strong hands.

Only the strongest opponent can allow him to surpass and break through again and again!
