The nine-day World Championships in Helsinki will run over four rounds, starting on 6 August and ending on 14 August, with the men's 100m running over four rounds, just like the Olympics.

On August 6, the first round of the men's 100m preliminaries started at 10:45, and the second round of the rematch was held at 18:45.

On August 7, the semi-finals will be played at 7:20 p.m., and the final round will be played at 9:35 p.m.

At 10:45, the preliminaries of the first round of the men's 100m officially began.

In the men's 100m heats, a total of 61 athletes participated, divided into eight preliminary groups, of which three groups were seven athletes. The preliminaries were all randomly assigned to the group, and Su Zu was in the second lane of the sixth group in the preliminaries.

With the end of the preliminaries and the end of the competition, the time is gradually approaching.

After a simple adaptation warm-up in the men's 100-meter check-in area, Su Zu quickly put on his coat and waited for the staff to lead his group out of the game.

It is common sense to keep warm after warming up, especially when the temperature is relatively low. Athletes participating in competitions outside will sometimes encounter various unexpected situations, such as field conditions, rainy conditions, if the competition is suddenly delayed, and then start again, it may not necessarily give time to warm up.

"Hurry up and put on your coat after the race and come out directly. Ignore the reporters in the mixed area, that corridor is too long, and it's easy to catch a cold after a long time. ”

This is Li Zhizhong's special explanation to Su Zu before the game, before yesterday's opening ceremony, Lao Li and Yuan Guohua had already walked around and looked at the situation of the venue.

Su Zu couldn't help but wake up, although he might not necessarily catch a cold, but this kind of thing still had to be just in case. And the climate in Finland in the past two days is indeed very different from the country, think about just from a high temperature area of more than 30 degrees, suddenly to an area of about 20 degrees, and rainy, if you don't pay attention to the trick is yourself.

When Su Zu walked out of the road, the rain still did not stop, although it was a drizzle, but it was still a little cool to take off his coat and stand on the field.

A burst of warm applause and cheers suddenly sounded in the audience, Su Zu raised his head and looked around, at this time he also noticed that most of the spectators in the audience were wearing ponchos to watch the game.

He could even see that some of the spectators, probably because they didn't have rain gear, were simply naked in the rain, their hair and clothes were soaked, and one by one they blushed and screamed loudly, and their excited expressions did not diminish in the slightest.

Spectators were able to enter the venue an hour earlier, and an hour ago it was raining more than it does now. Su Zu didn't dare to imagine what kind of enthusiasm these audiences had in the audience.

The seats at the Olympic Stadium in Helsinki are not covered by canopies, and the seats are just as wet.

When each group of athletes appeared on the field, tens of thousands of spectators in the track and field stadium responded with warm applause and cheers to show their support for the athletes competing in the rain.

"Maybe it was the same with us at the '08 Olympics." A thought crossed Su Zu's mind.

Such a national enthusiasm for sports events is rare in China, and the most glorious time was the 08 Olympic Games, which was a real event in Su Zu's memory.

Similarly, it can be seen that the Finnish audience at the scene really loves athletics and has great enthusiasm for this World Championships.

Yesterday, Su Zu also heard someone discussing, saying that the tickets for this World Championships have been hundreds of euros, but they still ask for one ticket.

Suzu had seen some of Helsinki's sporting events before, and before the World Championships, Helsinki hosted a half marathon. In a city with a population of 500,000, the number of people who signed up for the competition exceeded 10,000, and this kind of sports atmosphere is indeed very different for an athlete's feelings.

……

“…… Audience friends, the sixth group of players in the men's 100m preliminaries has begun, and in the second lane is my country's player Su Zu, I hope this rainy day will not affect him too much, with his strength should be able to easily qualify......"

The voice of Yang Jian, the commentator, was transmitted to thousands of households through satellite signals in Helsinki, and in the anticipation of many spectators, Su Zu finally appeared on the track and field.

At this time, in front of the camera lens, although there is a misty drizzle, under the illumination of the on-site lights, only some specific lenses can see the rain.

The water stains on the runway were also cleaned up by the staff in time, and it looked quite tidy, compared to the heavy rain scene during the opening ceremony yesterday, the metal apocalypse and the night wish performance, which was already a very good situation.

At this time, on the TV screen, the list and number of preliminaries in this group were also played.

First, Kuranti Martina, Netherlands Antilles;

the second way, Suzu, China;

Third Lane, Mark Burns, Trinidad and Tobago;

Fourth Path, Ali Sharif, Maldives;

Fifth Way, Marlon Devonesh, England;

Sixth Path, John Howard, Federated States of Micronesia;

Seventh Lane, Morapis, Botswana;

the eighth, Yazarna, Simmento, Sao Tome and Principe;

In this group of preliminaries, most of the athletes are basically unfamiliar with the audience, and even the nationality of some athletes is the first time for many people to hear.

However, this introduction is only a flash, for the Chinese people, the focus of this game is basically on Su Zu, and if it weren't for the fact that today is Saturday, many people have time, and there are not many people who watch this kind of preliminaries.

In the field, Suzu was not too impressed with the rest of the group, except for one of the British athletes, Marlon Devonesh, who played in the 4×100m relay at last year's Athens Olympics.

“On your marks！”

In front of the starting line, the voice of the starter sounded, and after eight athletes jumped in place for a while, they walked onto the starting gear one by one.

"Okay, the game starts right away. The strength of the players in this group is generally not strong, and Su Zu will definitely have no problem in advancing as long as he plays normally. However, it is also important to pay attention to the conditions of the field, as two of the first five groups of players have already withdrawn from the competition......"

After Su Zu stepped on the starting gear, he stepped on the starting gear particularly hard, this kind of rainy day must be a bit of an obstacle for the runners to compete, but everyone is the same.

If the water on the rubber track is slightly cleared and you run with spikes, there will be no slippage. Su Zu mainly paid attention to the starting block, afraid that the starting block would have water and spikes slipping, so he moved the soles of his feet, the contact surface between the spikes and the starting block, and made sure that there was no problem, so he put his mind at ease.

Coincidentally, at this time, the rain on the field suddenly became heavier. This season's rain itself is a shower, and I don't know where it suddenly came.

Before the starting line, Su Zu lowered his head and leaned over, preparing to listen to the gunfire of the start. The water droplets fell in front of me, and they could almost be seen splashing on the plastic runway.

However, at this time, the attention of the runners was focused on the sound of the starting gun, and no one dared to move casually, listening to the prepared passwords and gunshots.

“…… The game started immediately, and the athletes were already in place. The rain suddenly became heavier, and I wonder if the referee will stop the game...... The referee didn't stop the game......" Yang Jian's voice was transmitted through the small screen, and he shouted a little excitedly.

“Set！”

After making sure that the players were ready for the game and their bodies were at rest, the starter had no intention of stopping the game, and still shouted the preparatory password.

The schedule for the entire World Championships is very tight, and this little bit of a situation is not enough to shake the normal progress of the competition. Unless it is a real heavy rain, the game can be completely stopped.

"Smack!" Match guns rang out.

For athletes, as soon as the gun goes off, don't think about other factors, just one thought, run!

From the time Su Zu started, he felt that the raindrops on his body seemed to have become bigger, especially on his face, and his vision was a little blurred in an instant.

However, he didn't care about it at all, the game was not stopped, all he had to do was put his heart and soul into it.

At this time, the audience in front of the TV watched the short 10-second race, and the athletes ran wildly on the track, and suddenly a heavy rain visible to the naked eye seemed to be blown by the wind, twisted and fell like a curtain.

Yang Jian's voice fluctuated after starting with the runners: "...... At the beginning of the race, Su Zu started very steadily, Su Zu, Su Zu ran to the first position, but Su Zu had already achieved an advantage, first, Su Zu ran out of the first place in the group. 10.15 seconds, despite the rainy day, Su Zu ran smoothly and successfully advanced. ”

By the time the eight runners crossed the finish line, everyone saw that the athletes' clothes were soaked, and their hair and skin were covered in water.

10.15 seconds.

Su Zu looked at the results on the timing board next to him in the rain, the players in this group were generally not strong, and despite the rain, he did not do his best. Behind Suzu was Great Britain's Marlon Devonish with a time of 10.25 seconds.

According to the promotion rules, the top three players in each of the eight groups in the preliminary round will automatically advance to the next round of semi-finals, and then the top eight will be supplemented according to the results.

The referee next to him finally confirmed the results, and several players signaled that the results were valid.

At the same time, the applause of the audience on the field also rang out again, but in this somewhat wet and cold weather, it was filled with great enthusiasm.

Su Zu waved to the spectators on the sidelines and exhaled, all he had to do now was to quickly wipe off the rain on his body, put on his coat, and wait for the second round of the rematch in the evening.
