"XVII, XVIII...... Twenty, okay, take a break first. ”

There was a muffled clang.

As Li Zhizhong's voice next to him finished speaking, in the corner of the gym at the Paris track and field training base, Su Zu threw the heavy barbell in his hand on the ground.

After standing up straight, Su Zu took a few breaths and shook his arms slightly, feeling that the muscles of his arms, thighs, waist and abdomen had become a little swollen from the heavy strength training just now.

Since entering this track and field training base arranged by the French Athletics Association, Su Zu has completely returned to the rhythm of his previous training in the past 20 days.

The arrangement on the French side is quite thoughtful, except for the occasional one or two setting groups to shoot some training videos, or a few athletes to come over to communicate, the rest of the time is basically completely ruled out.

Boring, monotonous, boring. Sweating every day can condense a layer of hoarfrost on your tracksuit.

Although this kind of life was boring, Su Zu quickly regained his state.

After resting on the spot for dozens of seconds, Su Zu wiped the sweat on his face with a towel, walked to the barbell again, took a deep breath, and was just about to continue training.

Li Zhizhong, who was next to him, suddenly opened his mouth to stop: "It's almost, now it's mainly about recovering the competitive state, and you don't need to practice too hard." ”

Li Zhizhong frowned, walked to Su Zu's side, lightly tapped the barbell bar on the ground with his foot, and continued: "You have to stabilize your mentality, although Powell has equaled your world record, there is still a chance to fight later." ”

Su Zu was slightly stunned, and smiled: "Master, it's okay, I know." Let's do two more sets, I feel like the intensity is just right. ”

Asafa Powell equalled his own world record at Gateshead, England, the other day, and although Suzu was unexpected, there was nothing surprising about it.

Powell has such strength and confidence, and it is not unacceptable for a person who can run 9.77 seconds to really run 9.75 seconds, but he didn't expect him to be out of form so quickly after the Oslo Golden League on June 2.

Li Zhizhong shook his head, "Strength training is not all your focus now, your absolute speed in 100 meters is already the best, and the speed and endurance have improved significantly after months of training at the Haigen base." Strengthen the starting reaction and acceleration at the start, and be focused enough! ”

Su Zu's face was slightly helpless, but he didn't continue to force it.

It can be seen that the news that Powell equaled his world record also brought a lot of shock to Li Zhizhong.

However, Lao Li was stable, and at this time, his attention was more focused on Su Zu, afraid that he would have an unbalanced mentality.

After all, the opponent who just won the game in Oslo equaled your world record in a little more than a week, and this rhythm will be a little uncomfortable for anyone else.

Lao Li seemed to be a little stimulated when he saw Su Zu now, so every time he saw Su Zu's training strengthening, he stood up to stop it.

But in fact, Su Zu was really not frightened by Powell's performance, but faintly felt a little agitated and surging in his heart.

When you are facing your opponent, your opponent is in amazing shape, and his results are so good that it may be a headache for others, but Su Zu is only excited now!

Yes, after reaching the highest peak of the men's 100 meters, Su Zu inevitably relaxed a little. And as he took a hard look at himself and adjusted, his rival, Asafa Powell, burst out with tremendous energy.

Having such an opponent is a gratifying thing.

On the road of competitive sports, the most exciting legends are often shaped by enough strong opponents.

From the indoor gym to the outdoor track and field, it was already June and July, and even after five o'clock in the afternoon, the weather was still a little hot.

However, no matter how hot the weather is, it is not as hot as Su Zu's heart.

In the following games, if Powell does not temporarily retire, it has basically been confirmed that the two will have multiple opportunities to meet.

Now that the French media have begun to hype the next IAAF Golden League in Paris, the two co-owners of the men's 100m world record will stage a speed duel at the Stade de France, who will be faster, this topic and gimmick are enough to make the media earn people's attention.

Thinking about the opponent he was about to face, Su Zu suddenly glanced at Li Zhizhong, who was wearing a baseball cap, and asked, "By the way, Master, has the U.S. Track and Field Championships started?" ”

Earlier in Oslo, Sean Crawford and Suzu had told him that he would not be able to participate in the British Gateshead Grand Prix and that he would be returning home to compete in the National Athletics Championships.

The annual U.S. Track and Field Outdoor Championships held by the United States Athletics Association have always attracted the attention of track and field athletes from all over the world. Because the level is very high, a lot of new athletes can often come out.

In years with the Summer Olympics or World Athletics Championships, the National Championships were used as a way to select athletes to compete. There is even the National Track and Field Championships in the year of the Olympic Games, and it is also known as the "Little Olympics".

"The news just came yesterday that the men's sprint race is over. But this time Gatlin didn't compete, I remember not breaking 10 seconds. ”

Li Zhizhong followed Su Zu to the outdoor runway, the plastic runway in the evening was exposed to the sun for a day, and when he stepped on his feet, he could feel a little hot on the soles of his feet.

"How's the results? Who is the champion? Su Zu jumped lightly vertically on the spot twice on the track, and moved the muscles that had just finished strength training and had some tense muscles in his body.

"The 100m is Tyson Gay, you wait for me to see." Lao Li replied, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and looked through the text messages. This was specially collected and sent to him by a staff member in China.

turned on the phone and rummaged through the text messages, Li Zhizhong read out the content of the text messages, "The top three in the 100 meters, Tyson Gay 10.07 seconds, Sean Crawford 10.26 seconds, John Waden 10.27 seconds; In the 200m, Wallace Spearmon 19.90 seconds, John Wadden 19.98 seconds, Rodney Martin 20.14 seconds. ”

"Tyson Gay and Wallace Spearmon." Su Zu nodded after listening, among the several athletes, he was slightly familiar with these two, but this is normal, if there are no athletes who have made a name for themselves in the international arena, unless the results are amazing, not many people will remember.

Tyson Gay only ran 10.07 seconds at the National Championships, but Suzu won't let his guard down, just look at Shaun Crawford in second place and his third-place result. Obviously, Tyson Gay is absolutely dominant in the 100 meters, and there is even the possibility of releasing water.

"Tyson Gay and Spearmon are expected to go to Europe next, and they should meet later."

As he spoke, Li Zhizhong beckoned and asked Su Zu to stop his warm-up activities, "Okay, in this weather, your body has been completely active and warmed up." Prepare to run, I'll give you the command. ”

Su Zu nodded, and went through the information of the athletes who participated in the competition in his mind, according to the time schedule, under the premise that there are no major international competitions this year, the top athletes will basically come to Europe to compete.

From June to September, there are fifteen Golden Leagues, Super Grand Prix, and Grand Prix in Europe.

In June, there are two Oslo Golden League and Gateshead Grand Prix in the United Kingdom, but in July, the schedule is noticeably denser. In July, there are two Golden Leagues, three Super Grands, three Grand Prix and eight Grand Prix. The month of August is two Golden Leagues, one Super Grand Prix, one Grand Prix.

Even if Su Zu is not ready to participate in all of them, such a dense schedule also requires him to be fully prepared.

Asafa Powell has equalled his world record, and Tyson Gay looks like he's on the rise. With a strong enemy on his side, he needs to seize every minute now.

"Ready-" The prodding command sounded.

After a clear whistle, a figure galloped on the track and field.
