18:50 p.m.

The second round of the women's 200m has just ended, and French sprinter Christine Aaron, one of the world's 10 fastest female athletes, comfortably won the first place in the group with a time of 22.89 seconds.

There was a brief break between matches at the Olympic Stadium, but few spectators chose to leave at this time. Tickets for tonight's World Championships are the most hyped of the entire World Championships, and tickets to buy seats from scalpers are more than 300 euros.

Because at 20:30, in the men's javelin final, Finnish javelin thrower Pete Kamaki competed, attracting a large number of Finnish spectators to cheer.

Tonight's Olympic Stadium was arguably the most spectatorial day outside of the opening ceremony.

When the men's 200m semifinals were about to start, there were still people entering the stadium one after another, scattered and seated in the audience.

After coming out of the corridor, Su Zu also found that the noise at the scene was much louder than the previous day's game. Standing on the track of the men's 200m semi-finals, looking up, there are almost no empty seats in the densely packed spectator seats, and even many aisles are full of spectators.

Although not all spectators came to the scene for the men's 200-meter race, Su Zu and other 200-meter runners still received some applause and cheers when they appeared.

Su Zu is still quite eye-catching among the contestants on the scene, and the red sportswear has become the focus of many media and audiences.

In just a few days of racing, the audience of Finland and even the whole of Europe got to know this young sprinter from the ancient country of the East again.

After all, athletics in Europe is a popular sport, and the annual Grand Prix Golden League and other events are held in Europe.

After the appearance, the eight 200-meter semifinalists stood on their respective tracks one by one, and Su Zu looked at the two black runners on the left and right lanes, and couldn't help but purse his lips.

The challenge is coming!

In Lao Li's words, the four people of the U.S. team in the men's 200-meter event were just separated in the semifinals, with two people in each group, and now they are standing on Su Zu's left and right to surround him.

Suzu is in lane four, while his left-hand third lane is Wallace Spearmon, who has played him in the Grand Prix in Eugene. The young American with pigtails finished first in this year's U.S. men's 200m rankings. In the ranking of the best results in the world rankings, it is only below Su Zu.

On Suzu's right hand is John Capel, his old opponent in the rematch, who finished second in the rematch with a time of 20.32 seconds, and he is the fifth.

The first lane is Germany's Tobias Benjamin Unger (Tobias Gel), a white runner and German men's 200m record holder. In the current world of sprinting, it can be said that Tobias Benjamin Unger is a banner for the Caucasian race. He reached the semi-finals of the men's 200m at last year's Athens Olympics and was the second-fastest athlete in Europe in 2005.

The second runner, Jesuma Saidi, was born in 1984 and is a Gambian sprinter.

Sixth lane Australian Daniel Bartman, a direct descendant of Melbourne founder John Bartman.

Britain's Christian Malcolm, a British sprinter, won gold medals in the men's 100m and 200m at the 1998 World Junior Championships.

Aaron Armstrong of Trinidad and Tobago, who ran 20.08 seconds in the 200m in 1999.

The strength level of the semi-finalists is not weak, but the difference in strength is there, and the most eye-catching is still Su Zu and two American players.

"Audience friends, now you are watching the semi-finals of the men's 200m at this World Championships...... This is not the first time that Suzu will face two American athletes, and it is expected that he will not be taken out of rhythm by the opponent. In the men's 200m event of the World Championships, the U.S. team has a total of four athletes in the semi-finals, and I hope that Suzu can stand out from the encirclement......"

As a professional on-site commentator, Yang Jian also saw some clues of the American team after the rematch, but many viewers in front of the TV were not necessarily, and he could only wake up a little through the commentary.

When Chinese athletes enter the top field of world sports, this is always the case, just like Liu Yangyu and Xing Huina before, they need to face the encirclement and interception of strong national athletes in various sports.

In the 10,000-meter women's long-distance run at this World Championships, Xing Huina and Sun Yingjie were finally won the championship, second and third place by three Ethiopian athletes because of their lack of tacit cooperation.

The semi-finals started at 19:05 local time in Helsinki, and at this time in China it was more than 1 o'clock in the morning.

After the track and field boom in the past two years, the attention has become higher and higher, and the audience is full of enthusiasm for track and field events, especially sprint events, and track and field commentators like Yang Jian have become more passionate and motivated to explain the competition.

“On your marks！”

Time passed minute by minute, and after a short adjustment by the athletes on the scene, the password sounded for each of them.

In front of the starting area of the corner, eight runners in different positions in front and behind walked onto the starting block amid the sound of the password.

Su Zu landed on the starting block with both feet, leaned down and squatted, his fingers pressed against the plastic runway.

The Helsinki Olympic Stadium had been renovated before the World Championships, and despite the heavy rain last night, the whole venue had become dry and tidy after a sunny day, and there was no dampness.

At this time, in the third lane behind Su Zu, Wallace Spearmon took a serious look at Su Zu, who was more than two meters away in front of him, and then lowered his head again to prepare for the start.

Despite being in front of Tyson Gaye, Wallace Spearmon often referred to himself as the younger brother. This is because Tyson Gay is two years older than him and has helped him a lot in both training and life. At heart, he was a proud man.

This year he was the fastest man in the 200m in the United States, and even last year's Olympic champion Shaun Crawford couldn't match him. And his training partner, Tyson Gay, was no match for him at this time. In the whole United States, perhaps only the new 100-meter king Justin Gatlin deserves a high look.

But the last time he stood in Eugene, he lost.

Lost to a young Chinese who did not care about ideological issues and did not pay attention to the media reports about the country. All he knew was that he lost.

Among the five best 200m runners in the United States, Suzu still won the Eugene event.

Wallace Spearmon was unwilling, so he told Tyson Gay that he was a little excited. This is the second time he has fought Su Zu, and he is not willing to do Eugene's scene again no matter what, this is his revenge battle.

He wants to win!

“SET!”

When Wallace Spearmon heard the sound of preparation, the muscles of his whole body began to relax again, and he entered the tense stage.

One, two...... Almost after silently reciting two numbers in his heart, he suddenly jumped out.

At this time, the guns of the game had just sounded. The skill of pressing the gun and running is here, judging the time when the referee's gun sounds.

"Game on!"

After the gunshots rang out, Yang Jian's commentary was transmitted to the ears of people squatting in front of the TV to watch the game in China through satellite signals.

On the TV screen, the eight contestants lined up diagonally got up at the same time and ran out quickly.

Suddenly, the TV screen saw that the athletes on the scene suddenly ran two or three steps and stopped.

“…… Spearmon snatched up! He was too nervous, and he wanted to defeat Su Zu too much. Spearmon is the No. 1 U.S. men's 200m ranking this year, but he lost to Suzu in Eugene, and he will definitely not be convinced that he has won both of the year's best 200m times......

With Yang Jian's explanation, the scene camera zoomed in, stopping on Wallace Spearmon's face, only to see him shake his hand fiercely, muttering something in his mouth. He failed to run the gun just now, a little faster, and then ran away.

The TV screen once again switched to a slow-motion replay of all the athletes at the start moment, and Wallace Spearmon's action was apparently activated before the gunshots rang out, and the rush was confirmed.

At this time, on the sidelines, George Williams, the leader of the American track and field team, an old white man with gray hair, couldn't help but stomp his foot fiercely after seeing this scene, turned around and kept moving, obviously cursing something.

Wallace Spearmon is the player who has high hopes for the team leader, for the athlete to chase the glory and the championship, and for the team leader, it is to calculate the total number of gold, silver and bronze medals won in the number of events.

The gold medal in the men's 100m has been the second defeat since the World Championships in '03. This must never happen again in the 200 meters. Otherwise, no matter how good the results of other events are, and the most important sprint events are repeatedly lost, the American track and field team will not look at it.

Competitions based on countries and regions are never only the honor of one athlete, but also the national honor behind the athletes.

Walking back to the starting line, Su Zu glanced at Spirmon with pigtails, he was in line with most people's perception of black athletes, individual, unruly, and flamboyant, but at this moment, after rushing once, his face became cautious.

Compared to John Capel or other American athletes, Spearmon is now the best in the 200m and is most likely to win against Suzou. But he is only two or three years older than Su Zu, and this is his first time on the international stage. Such an athlete is full of sharpness, only I am the first, and can play well in normal games, but once I encounter an important game, when facing strong opponents, compared to those veterans who have been in the field for a long time, I still can't calm down.

His hero, my enemy!

Su Zu took a light breath and adjusted his mentality slightly. If American athletes take him so seriously, how can he not take on it?

The race is on again!

Syllable!

The starting gun rang out.

The audience and commentators from various TV stations in the media area only had time to shout "The game is on!" And then it came to an abrupt end.

"Rush ahead...... Once again, there are athletes rushing to run! ”

After two rushes, the audience at the scene faintly had a lot of noise and boos.

"This time it's the ...... who are ahead of the game Aaron Armstrong, a veteran of Trinidad and Tobago, he ran away! This is already the second shot, and he will not be able to continue to the semi-finals below. ”

This time, if Spearmon rushes again, it may be a joy for countless people, after all, there is one less strong competitor, but unfortunately it is Aaron Armstrong of Trinidad and Tobago who is running.

On the field, Su Zu suddenly started to speed up and stopped again. He was also very surprised that someone rushed to run away.

This second shot, including Su Zu, John Capel and Spearmon of the United States, as well as the German veterans, all appeared to be more cautious, and as a result, some people dared to rush.

The men's 200m semifinals of the World Championships are also one of the most important events in track and field. After all, there is only one chance, and everyone will be cautious the second time.

In the 200-meter race, the rush is relatively small compared to the 100-meter. After all, the 200m is more about the ability in the middle and second half. But there are anyway. After all, it's a big competition, and if the pressure gun is not accurate enough or if you are nervous, there will be a rush.

Running is a relatively normal situation for players, after all, it is within reasonable rules, but in the eyes of many viewers, it is a little boring, and even grumpy will scold.

Before the advent of the "zero rush" rule in men's sprinting, this situation basically occurred from the semifinals to the finals. In the eyes of the audience, the emotions that finally tensed up and were ready to cheer and cheer, but they were exhausted by the rush again and again. This kind of torture and trickery is really unfriendly.

"The game is starting again...... It reminds me of the men's 100m final at the Athens Olympics. That time, Suzu snatched the first shot, but in the second shot, the Portuguese star Obiqueviru could not withstand the pressure and ran away for the second shot, but was sent off and missed the qualification for the game. We can only hope now that Su Zu can stabilize and not rush ahead. With his strength, he must be able to enter the finals......"

In Yang Jian's commentary, the first group of the men's 200m semifinals started for the third time.

This time, the moment Su Zu leaned over and lowered his head, he felt a little nervous. And this tension is definitely not just him, I am afraid that other athletes are the same.

It is estimated that no one dares to use this kind of technical means of pressing the gun now, and everyone will honestly listen to the rush.

Sure enough, the guns rang out for the third time in the first semifinals of the men's 200m.

This time, no one dared to rush again, and everyone only made a move after hearing the gunshots.

The dull atmosphere of the whole audience suddenly became enthusiastic at the moment when the runners started after the gunshot, and all kinds of noisy roars, applause and cheers rang out.

The sprint race is the pinnacle of 10 seconds and 20 seconds, and for many European spectators, such an instant is comparable to a single knife in the Champions League football field, and it can detonate everyone's passion almost instantly.

Su Zu didn't make reservations when he stepped together, and always maintained the most concentrated state.

The two sprints, in which Trinidad's Aaron Armstrong's penalty, made him a little more cautious, and there was a delay in the starting speed, but the other runners in the same group were basically the same, although everyone could not see the starting reaction time, but it was estimated that it should be between 0.180-0.220 seconds.

In a sprint race, the most important thing is the start, and if there is no start, there is nothing.

From the start, Su Zu followed the dividing line of the track and skillfully began to accelerate to the left. During his training at IMG Academy, he followed the advice of Sigrave and adjusted his pace, increasing his stride again with his height.

At this point, he is now a bit similar to Justin Gatlin, both of whom are about 1.85 meters tall, and Justin Gatlin's 100 meters is won in the middle and second half, and the biggest weapon for the victory is that his stride is longer than the average player.

At a time when the Jamaican Lightning was not yet in its prime, it was arguably the largest of the vast majority of athletes.

This kind of large stride, Su Zu is not used very much in the 100 meters now, after all, the 100-meter race distance is too short, in addition to the stride, there must be a fast cadence.

But in the 200 meters, after Su Zu appropriately raised his stride, he felt that the improvement was still obvious. In the first half of the corner, Su Zu's current skills are not bad, but he is not at the best level, and the large stride makes him stay off the ground longer, and he has less contact on the track, which is conducive to controlling the rhythm and center of gravity of the run.

Fifty meters, eight runners ran like dragons in the curve area.

The gap between all the athletes at this stage is not particularly obvious, but with a 50-meter acceleration run, Su Zu's speed has fully increased.

At 80 meters, the cheers on the scene became louder and louder, and at the beginning of the race, the figure of athletes running rapidly on the track was almost the most infectious.

This is a manifestation of the limits of human physical fitness

Yang Jian, the on-site commentator in the media area, increased several times almost at the same time: "...... At the beginning of the race, Su Zu's start was very stable, his stride was bigger and more powerful than the other players, Su Zu began to exert force, Su Zu caught up, he was close to John Calpe in the corner, the two had a round of play in the semi-finals before, Su Zu was accelerating, Su Zu had already taken the lead......"

"Xiao Zhang, Su Zu shouldn't have reserved this, right?"

On the side of the field, Jiang Daheng saw that Su Zu had taken the lead in the cornering stage, and his face was also excited, and his fat hands applauded again and again. Immediately, as if he remembered something, he glanced at Li Zhizhong next to him, and asked Zhang Pingqiu next to him in a low voice.

"It should ...... No......" Zhang Pingqiu could also see that Su Zu was ahead, but he was still not sure. After all, Lao Li had already explained for a while before.

Lao Li's eyes were completely on the arena, and he didn't pay attention to the words of the two at all.

Looking at Su Zu's lead, a faint smile swelled on Li Zhizhong's face: "Stinky boy, I knew you would be like this." ”

Although he has repeatedly explained, Li Zhizhong has not known Su Zu's character after all these years of getting along. Competitiveness is one thing, the key is to face challenges, Su Zu has never shrunk his head.

From the first time we met that year, the first time I watched the sunrise, to the Grand Prix, Su Zu dared to press the gun twice in order to win. Li Zhizhong knew that this disciple of his own was beyond the strength of ordinary people. Usually calm on the surface.,I don't care about the outside world.。 But once you get to the field, you can only move forward bravely and won't bow your head.

He wants to win all the games, even if it's just the semi-finals, and if he needs to give it his all, he won't spare any of them.

"A lot of people is useful?"

Li Zhizhong remembered the angry expression of the head coach of the U.S. track and field team on the side, and pouted, "If there are more people, it will be useful, we have already won all the world records." ”

……

On the field, the competition has entered a white-hot stage at this time.

The corner entered the straight, and Su Zu almost took the lead, and was the first to enter the running stage of the straight in the fourth lane.

And behind him, Wallace Spearmon's face was hideous, and the pigtails floated high behind his head as he ran wildly.

His speed was also increased to the extreme, and from the start, his eyes were firmly locked on Su Zu. If he wants to win, he must not be slower than Su Zu.

Entering the straight, he knows Su Zu's speed, the 100-meter champion, the speed is definitely higher than that of most athletes.

But at this time, it is also the middle and second half of the 200 meters, and in addition to the explosiveness of the athletes, what is needed at this time is the ability to maintain speed and speed endurance.

Explosive, even Morris Green, who can run 6.39 seconds in the 60 meters, has never achieved anything in the 200 meters. Because in addition to explosiveness, in addition to speed, it is also necessary to have the ability to maintain speed for a long time.

In this regard, he does not think that he will lose.

With firm feet and quick arm swings, he was trying to close the distance with Suzu.

On the other side, the fifth lane on Su Zu's right hand, John Capel's speed is not slow, but compared to Su Zu and Spearmon, he is still in a relatively backward position. The gap between him and Su Zu was already more than two meters at this time.

He had already done his best in today's rematch, and although he was still fast and third in the group, he had opened up enough of the gap to the rest of the runners, but he didn't use all his strength to run.

His task was completed in the rematch, and the semi-finals of this group were a contest between Wallace Spearmon, and now it seems that the effect is very good, and Su Zu really did not hold back, and was forced to the maximum speed.

In the face of such a young player, John Capel was also shocked in his heart, and he didn't expect that Su Zu was already chasing him in the rematch a few hours ago, and it can be said that his consumption in that group was definitely not light. But now Su Zu's speed and physical fitness make him feel that even if the best players in the United States take turns, they may not be able to have much impact on Su Zu.

One hundred and fifty meters, thirty meters on the straight, and fifty meters from the finish line.

Wallace's eyes widened, and he felt like he had increased to maximum speed, probably faster than he could run in Eugene. But the red figure in front of him did not pull in the distance from him, and the distance between the two remained at more than one meter, no matter how he chased, Su Zu was always firmly in front of him.

"Can't catch up? Do you want to run with all your might? ”

This thought flashed through Wallace Spearmon's mind, he wanted to compete with Su Zu, this one was not only to consume Su Zu's physical strength. To a greater extent, to make a name for himself, the No. 1 athlete in the 200m in the United States will also be the No. 1 in the world. But the current gap made him powerless for a while.

The thoughts in my head flickered fast, and the few people in the arena ran faster.

In the blink of an eye, the distance of twenty or thirty meters passed again, and countless spectators were shouting wildly.

“…… Su Zu has taken the lead, and Su Zu is now in the first position......" Yang Jian shouted in a high tone, although he was also worried in his heart that Su Zu would not affect tomorrow's final if he ran like this, but at this moment, in the face of such a competition, he couldn't help but be passionate.

Chinese athletes have repeatedly led other sprinters in sprinting events, which is really refreshing.

In the last twenty meters, Su Zu's gaze swept left and right, and there was no one.

Behind him, Spearmon struggled to catch up from a distance of more than a meter, while John Calpe and the other competitors were so far away that even many spectators could no longer look at them, this was no longer a level player.

Ten meters!

One step, two steps, three steps, half a step......

Rush the line!

On the timing board next to the track at the scene, the time of 19.93 seconds is very eye-catching.

After crossing the finish line, Su Zu rushed and pounded his chest.

I'm number one.

If you want to take on the challenge, then I will fight too!

I will respond to you with this result, and I will not back down!

Behind Suzu, Wallace Spearmon crossed the finish line with a time of 20.19 seconds, and in the final stages, he had given up on the idea of catching up with Suzu and just ran at his own pace.

And behind John Capel, 20.45 seconds. Germany's Tobias Benjamin Unger 20.63 seconds, Jessouma Saidi 20.75 seconds, Daniel Bartman 20.98 seconds, Christian Malcolm 21.09 seconds.

"Su Zu, Su Zu won the first place in the group with an absolute advantage, and successfully advanced to the final of the men's 200 meters, here we congratulate him in advance, he is a hero of Chinese track and field, he has made the Finnish audience let the European audience, let the world audience realize that our country also has the world's top sprinters......"

Everyone in the Suzu team on the sidelines cheered excitedly, whether it was the preliminaries, the semifinals or the semifinals, as long as they could see Su Zu take the first place, they would always be excited.

This is the charm of sports, and this is the charm of top athletes.

On the other side, George Williams, the head coach of the U.S. track and field team, also smiled and applauded, although Spearmon did not finish first, but regardless of the ranking, the two American 200m runners will definitely enter the final. And judging from the results, Su Zu did not win easily in this group of semifinals.

The goal has been achieved, and the rest will depend on tomorrow's final.
