Chapter 274: For Whom the Whole Audience Chanted
“On your marks!”
As the sound of the on-site starters took their places, the audience in front of the TV and at the scene couldn't help but get nervous as they watched the athletes start to walk on the track.
The 80,000-person stadium, which was originally extremely noisy, suddenly quieted down with all kinds of noisy sounds, and the cheering sticks in the hands of the spectators were placed on their knees, as if they were afraid of making noise and disturbing the players on the field.
In many competitions, the audience in the stadium is indifferent to the attitude of the sprinters preparing to start and listen to the gun, talking when they should talk, eating what they should eat, and only when this kind of athlete who has high hopes for himself is on the field, everyone will subconsciously close their voices.
It's our own athletes, our own stadium, and no one wants to interfere with them in any malicious way.
In the audience on the side of the field, Ye Qingmei's eyes widened and she watched Su Zu in front of the starting line in the distance slowly walk onto the starting machine.
It was the first time she had watched her son compete, and she had never been able to understand the concept of an athlete.
I only know that Su Zu has been active since he was a child, and then in the third year of junior high school, a teacher came to take Su Zu to the sports school, and gradually the number of meetings decreased.
Later, Su Zu could occasionally be seen on TV. In the past few years, she has only seen Su Zu a few times a year, and each time she doesn't stay at home for too long.
At that time, every time Su Zu called back and said where she was going to compete, she was worried that Su Zu would not be used to eating well.
Watching Su Zu and others compete on TV, she became even more nervous, for fear that Su Zu would fall and get injured, but watching Su Zu's game live today, her whole person became more and more restless, and her heart was tightly raised.
What she thought about in her heart was never the first or second, but that Su Zu didn't want to fall.
Su Yuanhua, who was next to Ye Qingmei, kept grinning. He walked out of his seat with his butt and leaned forward slightly.
Their position is near the finish line, which was specially selected by Su Zu, next to Su Yuanhua and Ye Qingmei, as well as Liu Yangyu's relatives and friends, and the families of both athletes are sitting near the finish line, waiting for them to win the championship.
When Su Yuanhua heard the whole audience shouting Su Zu's name, he was proud from the bottom of his heart, he never thought that his son would have such brilliance today!
The scene of sending Su Zu to the sports school seems to be still vivid, and in a blink of an eye, the childish child under Chenghuan's knees has now become the world's first.
There is no greater glory in this life than to have a son.
……
Standing on the starting line, Su Zu propped his hands on the ground, stepped on the starting runner with both feet, adjusted his position, slowly withdrew his hands, and pressed on the plastic runway.
Su Zu raised his head and looked at the finish line, although he couldn't see clearly where his parents were sitting in the dense audience through a distance of a hundred meters, he knew very well that they must be waiting for him in that direction.
It was the first time his parents had come to watch him play, maybe they had seen it on TV before, but when he came home, his parents rarely mentioned it, it was a completely unfamiliar territory to them, and they didn't know how to communicate about it.
In this life, Su Zu chose the path of sports competition, he knew that in his parents' cognition, a heart must be floating, worried, and panicked.
Even if he had achieved his current grades, his father would still ask about going to college, and there was no right or wrong in this thought, just a simple calf licking feeling.
I will be afraid that he will not be able to live independently, I am afraid that he will not be able to settle down in the future, I am afraid that he will be injured, and in the first year or two, he will take home the prize money he won, and his parents will save it for him.
And this game, for Su Zu's meaning, is not only to himself, to the countrymen, but also to his parents.
The idea in his mind is that by winning this game, he will tell his parents that he is already capable enough to face the world.
He's a world champion and he'll be their pride!
"Come on!"
Su Zu lowered his head, took a light breath, and looked at the rough plastic runway between his hands, his eyes gradually sharpened.
“SET!”
The Chinese starter, which is not a special standard, sounded prepared.
The audience was left to wait.
With the sound of the password, the athlete got up in an instant and made a posture ready to start!
"Smack!" Shots rang out for the game.
In the stadium of 80,000 people, the silence of Fang Cai instantly changed from boiling to boiling, and the earth-shattering shouts suddenly sounded!
"Su Zu, come on!"
"Su Zu, come on!"
At the moment when the race gun rang out, Su Zu's feet suddenly kicked on the starting block, and the force of this blow almost made the metal starting block crunch overwhelmingly, and Su Zu's whole person flew out like an arrow from the string.
With an instantaneous starting reaction, Suzu was one of the fastest of the nine, barely too weak for Leonard Scott and Maury Green.
Leonard Scott has always been known for his quick start, and the acceleration phase in the first few tens of meters is his forte. It was also with this in the 100m that he was able to rank among the top sprinters.
Needless to say, Morris Green, despite his prime and at the end of his career, has a lot of racing experience that has allowed him to perfect his starting skills, and he can run almost without making too many mistakes in most races.
Another player with excellent reflexes is France's Ronald Bonnon, who ran 6.45 seconds in the 60m indoor race this year, and has a very high level of starting and acceleration.
Thirty meters......
On the field, the audience just practiced the moment when it was too late to blink, and they couldn't tell who was faster and who was slow at the start of the runners, and on the nine tracks, Leonard Scott and Morris Green instantly took the lead after the gunshot, followed by Su Zu, who bit the two tightly with a distance of less than half a body.
He was followed by France's Ronald Bonon, Aziz Zachary, Nobuhara Asahara, Obikviru, Justin Gatlin, and Zhang Peimeng.
At this moment of starting, there was a sudden change in life.
It's not a rush! It was the nine figures that were originally running wildly, and suddenly a figure fell.
In the third lane, Morris Green, who suddenly stopped jumping on the spot after the start, did not run, holding his feet with his hands, and seemed to have a muscle strain.
And at this moment, the players in the arena were already struggling to accelerate, and almost no one was paying attention, or rather, no one was going back to pay attention to the Morris Green thing.
Once on the runway, the only goal is the finish line.
The sound of the footsteps is like the most beautiful music in the world, and it still has its own unique rhythm in the midst of the frenzied live noise.
As soon as the acceleration phase of the start is over, runners with a considerable level of strength begin to stand out on the way.
Su Zu's 100m this time was a complete explosion, and several of his negative forms have disappeared in the week after returning from the Asian Championships, and several of them are only mild or moderate fatigue, which no longer affects the overall attribute value.
He's in great shape.
Thirty meters......
As the maximum acceleration passes, the athlete begins to raise his head and stand upright.
Suzu began to gain an advantage, catching up with Leonard Scott, who had the fastest starting reflexes and acceleration.
Behind Su Zu, Justin Gatlin and Obik Viru also entered the high-speed running stage at this time.
With his unique running posture, Gatling has a large and fierce pace, which belongs to the ninety percent power state when accelerating in front, and when it comes to the stage of running on the way, the speed gradually increases to the extreme.
On the field, the speed of the athletes was as fast as lightning, and all the spectators almost felt that the guns had just sounded, and when they came back to their senses, the athletes had already run a distance of dozens of meters.
Forty meters, fifty meters, sixty meters......
During the highest-speed mid-course running phase, the athletes on the field are running in stride, swinging their arms quickly, and the audience can already distinguish the position of the front and back.
Suzu ran to the top of the line, and behind him were Justin Gatlin, France's Ronald Bonnon and Leonard Scott, all three of whom were neck-and-neck. Obi Keviru was slightly slower than the three, followed by Asahara, Aziz Zachary and Zhang Peimeng.
They are all the top players, and although they are in good and bad form, their individual strength is still vividly reflected at this moment.
Zhang Peimeng gritted his teeth, his face was hideous, from the start of the start, he was relatively behind, but not the last, he and Asahara, Aziz Zachary is almost in the same position.
The strength level of the two at this stage is stronger than Zhang Peimeng, but the sprint is not only about speed, but also about state. Obviously, the frenzied atmosphere of this 80,000-person stadium not only made Su Zu enter a state of hurricane, but also made Zhang Peimeng's small universe explode.
Looking at the athletes on the field, at this moment, whether in front of the TV or the audience at the scene, there is a feeling of adrenaline rush.
Excitement, frenzy, speed, sprint!
Seventy meters, eighty meters, ninety meters......
Su Zu took the lead, and he had gradually distanced himself from Obikviru, and he ran in the first position.
At this time, he has only one opponent, Justin Gatlin!
Justin Gatlin ran hard, his chin protruding and his white lower incisors clearly visible, clearly squeezing every ounce of his body's strength.
For this Grand Prix, the only opponent who can be seen by Gatling is Su Zu.
Leonard could only run the first half, Obikwiru was not in good shape, Aziz Zachary and Morris Green were old, and France's Ronald Bonon, Senji Asahara, and others did not score even ten seconds.
He could say with certainty that if Su Zu hadn't participated in this race, he wouldn't have needed to run with all his strength at all.
But it was with Suzu that he missed the gold medals in the 100m and 200m at this year's World Championships, and still failed to win the Golden League in Brussels.
He's an Olympic champion, but now that Asafa Powell broke the record and Suzu beat him at the World Championships, he already has a huge sense of crisis.
After seventy or eighty meters, the state of the other runners was already visible, and even Obikviru could not play his best, and was distanced by Suzu and Gatling.
At this time on the field, Su Zu and Gatling were left to distance themselves from the others behind them like a gust of wind, one position, two positions, half a meter, and one meter......
The final 10-meter sprint......
Su Yuanhua and Ye Qingmei, who were far away in the audience, had clearly seen Su Zu rushing towards them at this time, and his expression was extremely hideous due to excessive force.
For a moment, Su Zu was almost indistinguishable from Gatling in the last ten meters.
Rush the line!
Spectators in the area near the finish line were almost staring intently, staring at the last person to cross the finish line. There are also reporters and viewers with cameras in this position, and at the last moment, they almost clicked and clicked quickly and continuously to shoot non-stop, and took place to capture the footage of this last moment.
"Su Zu's start was very good, Su Zu ran to the first place at the thirty-meter position, Su Zu took the lead, Gatling, Gatling caught up, Su Zu, Su Zu come on!"
Countless viewers sitting in front of the TV stood up from various positions on the sofa chairs at this moment, and in the last moment of the camera, in a flash, few people could see whether there was a gap between the two.
And the audience at the scene suddenly fell into a static state after the enthusiastic cheering and shouting. Everyone looked up at the big screen, waiting for the final results to come out.
9.79 seconds!
The timing board next to the track shows the results the moment after Suzu and Gatling crossed the finish line.
At the same time, the two of them just slowed down and raised their heads to look at the big screen at the scene.
1. Fourth lane, Su Zu, China, 9.79 seconds;
2. Fifth lane, Justin Gatlin, USA, 9.80 seconds;
3. Second lane, Leonard Scott, USA, 10.09 seconds
4. Lane 6, Francis Obiqueru, Portugal, 10.15 seconds;
5. Lane 8, Ronald Bonon, France, 10.21 seconds;
6. Lane 7, Aziz Zachari, Ghana, 10.25 seconds;
7. 9th lane, Zhang Peimeng, China, 10.31 seconds;
8. First lane, Nobuharu Asahara, Japan, 10.34 seconds;
9. Third Lane, Morris Green, USA, DNS (incomplete);
The audience is boiling!
There was a moment of silence, and once again there was a cheer that was even more enthusiastic than before.
"Su Zu!" "Su Zu!" ……
The stadium of 80,000 people sounded a name at the same time, and it lasted for a long time.
The moment Su Zu saw the results, he clenched his fists left and right, knelt down on the field, and then jumped up suddenly, rushed to the direction of the spectator next to the finish line, and shouted:
"Dad, Mom, I won, I'm the champion, you see, I just won......"
Su Zu was so excited that he was almost incoherent, and he didn't care if they could hear him in the noisy stadium. At this moment, if there was no advertising baffle to separate it, and the audience seat was higher, Su Zu would definitely jump up directly.
Su Yuanhua's eyes narrowed with laughter, and he stood in the audience and applauded. And Ye Qingmei wiped the corners of her eyes at this moment, and smiled as well.
"Sue, congratulations!"
Justin Gatlin walked up to congratulate Suzu, who and Suzu almost completely dominated the race, finishing with a 0.01-second deficit of Suzu. Despite some regrets, both men had their best individual results, and Gatling, although unwilling in his heart, was still very gracious in congratulating him.
"Thanks, Justin!"
Su Zu and Justin hugged lightly, and then shook hands with the other contestants one by one.
At this time, on the big screen at the scene, the footage of the men's 100-meter race was played back and forth in slow motion.
Su Zu took the red flag from the staff next to him and went around the venue to accept the audience's congratulations.
Standing on the runway, standing on the stadium of his own country, winning the current world famous player, such a happy feeling, Su Zu is almost indescribable.
"Su Zu, Su Zu, Su Zu......" The voice of the chant gradually became louder and louder from a small area.
This beginning seems to have started with some fans of the magic capital, but at this time, the audience at the scene has ignored a lot, waited for hours, and finally saw our own flying man at their own doorstep.
The shouts of "Su Zu" gradually converged into one, like countless people singing in chorus, like a heavenly sound.
Su Zu stood in the middle of the runway, wearing a red flag, with his hands on his ears, listening to everyone's shouts.
I am blessed to be able to drape the red flag and hear you shout my name!
Yang Jian, the on-site commentator, was also so excited at this time that he couldn't help himself: "9.79 seconds, this is a miracle, Su Zu ran into 9.80 seconds, becoming the fourth runner to run 9.80 seconds after Green, Montgomery, and Powell." 9.79 seconds also set a new personal best for Su Zu, and it is also a new national men's 100m record and Asian record. Although this result has not yet broken Asafa Powell's world record of 9.77 seconds, with a difference of 0.02 seconds, we have reason to believe that Suzu will definitely be able to break him in the near future. The world record must belong to us! ”
