Chapter 341: Reappearance of Madness!! (Happy Chinese New Year to all!) )
On the big screen at the Stade de France, the list of nine players participating in the Paris Golden League has been released.
First, American sprinter Mark Gilkes, born in 1984, entered the professional athlete sequence in 2005, ran 10.02 seconds in his first season, and won the best third place in this year's American outdoor 100-meter heat race with a time of 10.04 seconds, which is a new sprint star who is generally favored by the American track and field community.
Second Jamaican player Steve Mullins, born in 1982, had previously been banned for two years in 04 and 05 due to drug violations. He returned to racing in 2006 but ended the season with poor performances of 10.31 and 20.54, and this year he ran 9.91 seconds (+3.7 m/s) in the 100m in Zaragoza.
Kuranti Martina of the Netherlands Antilles in the third lane improved his personal best to 10.04 seconds in a race in El Paso, Texas this year. In the previous Osaka Grand Prix, he had already played against Suzu.
Fourth Bahamian Derek Atkins, a rising sprinter in the 2007 season, won a silver medal at the 2006 Central American and Caribbean Games, setting a total of 10. A national record of 08 seconds. And in the 2007 season, Derek Atkins broke the Bahamas national record again on April 28 in Berkeley, California, with a time of 9.98 seconds. He also ran 9.86 seconds and 9.83 seconds in several minor races before the Golden League in Paris, despite the wind speeds of 2.3 and 2.4 m/s.
In lane 5, Leonard Scott, an old acquaintance of Suzu, was the 2006 indoor 60m champion with a personal best of 9.91 seconds, one of the best 100m runners at the moment.
In the seventh lane, Jamaica's Michael Flatt is a regular at various international competitions, but Michael Flatt is in an unprecedented state of depression at this time, losing to Jamaican genius elementary school students John Blake (10.19 seconds) and Nesta Carter (10.17 seconds) in the semi-finals of the Jamaican National Championships (and World Championships Trials) held in June, and missed out on the men's 100m at the World Championships in Osaka.
In the eighth lane, American star Sean Crawford, also an old acquaintance of Suzu, had a mediocre 2006 season and failed to be selected for the World Championships at this year's All-American Trials, losing to the likes of Tyson Gay, Wallace Spearmon and Rodney Martin.
The ninth-lane French athlete David Eilat was also able to do so in 1984 and was a special 200m athlete. At the 2006 European Championships in Gothenburg, he finished seventh in the 200m event and won bronze in the 4 x 100m relay. He also competed in the 4×100m relay at the 2004 Olympic Games and the 200m at the 2004 World Indoor Championships.
Suzu is in the sixth lane, this year's European Golden League, Suzu did not see the shadow of Tyson Gay, except for a few Grand Prix, Tyson Gay is now preparing for the World Championships that will open on the 25th of next month.
Suzu previously learned from the team and some news reports that Tyson Gay's original coach Brauman is still serving his prison sentence, but after a series of competitions in 2006, Tyson Gay is no longer a nobody in 2005, but a well-known sprinter around the world.
In 2006 Tyson Gay finished behind Suzu and Asafa Powell, which allowed him to find a suitable new coach – Jossen Drummond, gold medallist in the men's 4×100m at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney.
Jossen Drummond was known for his quick start reaction and excellent starting skills during his career, and it is self-evident that Tyson Gay chose Jossen Drummond as his coach for the purpose of greatly optimizing his starting technique.
The results are also clear, Tyson Gay has already run an astonishing time of 9.79 seconds and 9.76 seconds in two outdoor races in the United States, including the 9.76 seconds in which the wind speed was only 0.2 m/s. In the next National Track and Field Championships, the men's 100m ran 9.84 seconds and the men's 200m ran 19.62 seconds.
The national media is already rumouring that, judging by the current results, Tyson Gay will be the strongest contender for the title at this year's World Championships in Osaka.
Su Zu stood on the runway, and when he shouted his name on the radio, he stretched out his hand and smiled and gestured to the surrounding audience.
The applause and cheers were quite enthusiastic, of course, compared to the situation when Su Zu staged a shocking battle with Powell in Paris last year, and there were even a few occasional boos among these applause and cheers, but in the noisy scene, people could not hear it clearly.
“…… Oh, it seems that our World Champion's recent performances have left many viewers with some questions about his results. ”
In the media area of the Stade de France, two on-site commentators from France TV 1 expressed their views after the camera focused on Suzu.
"Sue's showdown with Powell at the Stade de France last year seems to have been talked about before, but with Sue's 100m performance in several Grand Prix races this year not meeting everyone's expectations, doubts are loud!"
"Haha...... This is the pressure that the world No. 1 needs to face, Su from China has been so amazing and successful in the previous two seasons that he doubts the winners, which is the general mentality of the media. ”
"Including you?"
"Of course, a yellow race, a Chinese person is so successful in the men's 100m event, don't you think it's a very incredible thing?"
"Hahaha, Mr. Guy René, you said you were a fan of Sue before."
"It's because he is a big fan of Sue that he can't help but have more ideas, and if you've seen Sue's game record, you'll understand that even a genius is hard to describe him. It's really hard for me to believe that such an athlete has come out of nowhere, and he has turned a lot of scientific theories on its head. ”
"This may be a genius, there are so many Chinese, it is normal to produce a genius."
"If it falls, it's not a genius! Sue's performance this year is not a genius! It is doubtful that a top rider who barely dropped a 10-second time in the 2006 season should not run a 10-second in consecutive races in 2007. Note, as far as I know, Su Ke is not affected by any injury! ”
"Well, let's not argue about this topic anymore, the men's 100-meter trapeze battle is about to begin, please don't go away from the audience in front of the TV! Let's witness whether Suzu, who set a world record at the Stade de France last year, can fight back with his results in the face of doubts from the outside world today. ”
……
“On your marks!”
At this time, on the field, after the full-time broadcast to introduce the contestants, the on-site starter signaled the contestants to be in position.
Su Zu let out a sigh of relief, jumped lightly on the spot, making his body more and more excited, and took the lead in getting on the starting block.
At this moment, he gradually let go of the stride length and rhythm that he had been pondering and studying for a long time in his mind, and let his body enter a full state of competition.
Like a spring that has been pressed to the deepest, it is like a pot of boiling water that has been pressed against the lid but has boiled inside, only to explode at the last moment.
The moment his feet stepped on the starting gear, Su Zu raised his head and glanced at the finish line in the distance, the 100-meter runway, which seemed to be completely reflected in his brain at this glance.
All the running moves were in the movies, and then they were completely thrown aside.
Changing his stride length and getting acquainted with the new rhythm requires his brain to control and practice, so much so that he often loses sight of himself and the other during his runs, and cannot give full play to his speed. The 100-meter course is too short, and a small mistake can make a huge difference in the final result.
But this time he was lying, Su Zu had already put aside a lot of things that his brain had deliberately put aside.
Running requires the most natural state.
Like blinking, like breathing......
Everything happens naturally.
And these natural states are based on hundreds of thousands of extremely deliberate practices before they can gradually form habits and instincts.
Now, it's time!
At the moment when he stepped on the starting gear, Leonard Scott and Michael Flat, who were on the left and right next to Su Zu, glanced at Su Zu inadvertently.
Then lean over again, head down, and get ready to start!
Su Zu's action of looking at the finish line from afar before starting every time, they are already very familiar with the runners who have competed with Su Zu for many races, which is his signature action at the start.
Although everyone is on the same level and can't see Su Zu's eyes, some of the race videos after the race will show Su Zu looking up at the finish line.
It was a look full of persistence and desire for victory, murderous and unstoppable!
An athlete who can stand on the top of the world, he doesn't need superfluous movements on the track at all, and a look can sometimes tell the state of this athlete.
"I want to win, I want to win Su Zu!"
At this moment, this is the thought that is on the minds of players like Leonard Scott, Michael Flat, and even Sean Crawford.
It's not about personal relationships, it's just the unwillingness of a player who has been brushed down by the World Championships, and they need to prove themselves on the field.
And the best way to prove yourself is undoubtedly to win against Su Zu in the arena.
It was the same thing that Suzu lost to Justin Gatlin and Maurice Green at the Athens Olympics in '04, only to win both of them at the Yokohama Star Invitational.
Build a stronger confidence in self-certification.
And Su Zu, as the "number one public enemy" in the track and field world, is the object that all athletes want to challenge the most.
It doesn't matter if he's in great form or he's in a state of decline.
The sound of the lively and boiling audience gradually became quieter, and the audience invariably lowered their voices.
The two commentators of France TV 1 did not continue to ridicule nonsense at this time, they couldn't help but shut up, and their eyes turned to the starting line.
In the huge stadium, the sound of the starter's "SET" preparation command was still clear in my ears.
Nine players on the field lowered their heads and got up at the same time.
Su Zu's eyes fell on the orange-red plastic runway on the ground, and the string on his body was stretched to the tightest state.
Syllable!
A crisp gunshot rang out.
In front of the starting line, eight runners suddenly stepped forward, swinging their arms, and their movements were uniform, and at this moment there were only 9 people on the starting line, but it seemed to burst out of thousands of horses.
Full of strength and beauty, the muscles that were hidden under the skin were all bulging high in the moment. From the stationary push to the highest speed of the body, under the high-powered camera, all the players are in blood at the moment, and the most powerful power has exploded.
And when the contestants started, the dull audience seemed to hear the gunshots and came back to their senses, and suddenly boiled like a pot of boiling water.
From the moment Su Zu started, the first step seemed to be a little jerky, and it seemed that his body had an obvious tilt movement.
However, it was only a moment's work......
Su Zu no longer thought about the rhythm and stride length, after taking the first step, he seemed to feel some jerky and doubts in his body, but soon, he ran more and more smoothly.
From a slightly stumbling state, to the second step adjusted, the third step became normal, the fourth step became smooth, and the fifth step has completely entered the state.
Like blinking, like breathing......
Every step out of the run, there is a peculiar rhythm in it, natural, smooth, full of strength and speed beauty.
Outside the arena, Li Zhizhong slapped his thigh suddenly, and everyone seemed to jump up.
He still felt that something was not good when he took the first step, but when Su Zu ran out of the second step, he was relieved.
And at this moment......
"This?!" Zhang Pingqiu's eyes widened, he, like Li Zhizhong, suddenly trembled in his heart when Su Zu ran out of the first step, but then the follow-up of the development surprised him very much.
The last time Su Zu took the first few steps of the World Championships in Osaka, it seems that he did not run well, but the situation was completely different then and now.
That time, Su Zu's rhythm in the first three steps was messed up, and the rhythm of the back running was all messed up, and his movements were deformed and jerky when he ran, relying on the strength of his body to struggle and rush forward.
In front of him, Su Zu's movements, after one or two steps behind, followed closely, and the speed increased suddenly.
At this time, the two commentators of the French TV station on the scene also suddenly noticed that Su Zu's movements stabilized, and then the extreme acceleration action.
“…… This is Powell's same starting acceleration action?! ”
In addition to the audience media, there are also a large number of knowledgeable coaches, accompanying professional athlete assistants, agents, and physiotherapists, who can be said to have been in this industry for many years, and their eyesight far exceeds that of ordinary people, and they can't help but exclaim at this time.
Su Zu's original running movements are no secret to the sports media, which has a large number of game videos to provide research, and various sports professionals.
But the movements that Su Zu adjusted in these few steps were already different before. Strictly speaking, it is different from last year's Suzu.
Today's Suzu games, although there have been adjustments, often become a little strange in the game, and it is difficult for everyone to find clues if they don't look carefully.
And now, it can be clearly seen that Su Zu's acceleration action is more perfect and standardized. The body that accelerates with its head down does not curl up abnormally, but leans straight forward, forming an unexpected angle with the horizontal ground.
This angle, as the speed of the acceleration phase continues to increase, naturally changes from a 67-degree angle to a vertical 90-degree.
Moreover, Su Zu's footsteps are quickly opened, the forward leg is raised at a higher knee position, and the backward upper and lower leg folds reduce the height. The area where the soles of the feet are in contact with the ground is larger, and the strength of each foot lift is stronger.
On the field, Leonard Scott's start is still fast, and the loss in the World Championship selection tournament is already a pain in his heart.
wants to win Su Zu in this game and win a championship, this is what he wants to explain to himself.
But the fact is that this year's form is obviously not as good as last year and the year before that, and although he started quickly in the Golden League in Paris, he didn't have much advantage.
Like Leonard Scott, Jamaica's Michael Flat, who missed out on qualifying for the World Championships, had a similar idea in his heart.
If a professional athlete loses the qualification to participate in a major tournament and has to take a step back to prove himself in other arenas, prize money, income, fame, points standings, etc., these are all things that they or their team have to consider.
But it was clear that neither man was at his best, with Leonard Scott and Michael Flatt both in good positions for the first twenty metres of the start, but soon they were being chased by the other riders.
Today's Bahamian Derrick Atkins was in amazing form, overtaking Leonard Scott to take first place after 30 meters, followed by American Mark Gilkes, who started at 30 meters and came up 40 meters to become the first runner in the first series.
Both players, almost all of whom are in their first year at the international tournament, showed their extraordinary form and strength in this competition!
Michael Flatt was a little discouraged by the two of them, born in 1982 and at the peak of his career, his 2007 season was too unsatisfactory.
Especially when the World Championships quota was brushed down in June, it was a heavy blow for him. You know, in the 2005 World Championships, Michael Flatt was the third runner-up at that time, fourth place.
Two years later, he missed the World Championships.
If it was just to lose to Powell, Nesta Carter would have been, and more importantly, he had lost to a teenager.
One of the world's top professional players lost to a teenager who was not yet 16 years old, which made him deeply ashamed, and even felt that he was old, and the idea of retiring germinated.
Forty meters, fifty meters, Michael Flatt had fallen to the back of the line.
At this moment, the sound suddenly sounded quickly, and before he could react, he felt that Su Zu, who had just fallen behind by more than two positions by his side, was like a sports car that suddenly hit the lowest throttle, and let out an incomparably amazing roar.
Fifty meters away, Michael Flatt only felt the figure around him suddenly flash, and Su Zu had already entered the path of absolute speed.
The stride is large and fast, the absolute speed is amazing, the distance of 40 meters to 50 meters, if you use a high-powered camera to analyze frame by frame after the race, Su Zu ran through these 10 meters in about 0.82 seconds, and this ...... And that's not even counting the limits of his absolute speed.
Sixty to seventy meters, Su Zu's speed was even faster.
From a relatively backward position after the start, Suzu suddenly came up to the top, overtaking Leonard Scott, overtaking Kuranti Martina of the Netherlands Antilles, and surpassing Sean Crawford.
Seventy to eighty meters, already in the second half of the 100 meters.
The speed of the competitors in the field has generally fallen from the top speed, and the speed has maintained his amazing speed of 40-50 meters, and the speed endurance trained in the sub-altitude for two consecutive years has made his speed maintenance ability reach an amazing level.
At the moment when the speed of the other runners slipped down, Su Zu was already able to maintain a strong running speed on the way.
Derek Atkins in lane 4 and Mark Gilkes in lane 1 both felt a competitor catching up at this moment.
Although there was no afterglow, although they didn't know who it was, the two of them seemed to feel it for a moment, and someone had overtaken them.
It was a strange feeling that naturally arose when facing a strong opponent on the field.
Like a raging wind, like a wave, whistling and rushing, passing madly.
80 meters, 90 meters......
The spectators at the Stade de France had already stood up unconsciously in the short seconds.
One by one, staring at the yellow race who didn't seem to start well, but then burst out with amazing speed, the Chinese, the current holder of the men's 100m world record!
Su Zu had forgotten himself at the moment, he didn't pay attention to the movements of the other players, and he was not affected by the cheers and applause that rang out at the scene.
In his eyes, the final finish line is firmly locked!
Every step he takes, he feels comfortable and natural.
This is the feeling he felt when he competed last year, the year before last, and after more than half a year of struggle, that feeling finally returned.
Although he didn't just walk like this, and he lost his balance a little when he took the first step, it finally came back.
Just like the one I ran that day at the training base outside Paris, the instinctive running, the rhythm, the breathing, the pace, the perfect adaptation to the body.
Li Zhizhong was on the sidelines, his fists were firmly clenched at some point, and the muscles of his whole body were tense and straight, waiting for Su Zu's final line.
Zhang Pingqiu's mouth grew up, and he seemed to be able to swallow an apple, and his eyes became a little dull.
Only their closest partners know how rare it is for Su Zu to run in such a state, for more than half a year, Su Zu has been training, training and training almost without sleep and food, and today, it seems that he has finally found a familiar rhythm!
In the last twenty meters, Su Zu had already swept by like a hurricane.
Derek Atkins and Mark Gilkes, who were 80 meters ahead, had lost the suspense of competing for the championship at this moment, and even at the moment of the final crossing, Mark Gilkes couldn't help but look up to the side, he was in the first lane, even if he knew that an opponent had surpassed him, he wanted to know who that person was.
Suzu!
That's Su Zu!
Su Zu was the first to cross the finish line!!
Next to the finish line of the men's 100-meter track at the scene, on the half-person-high timing board, yellow electronic numbers have jumped out.
9.87 seconds!
“…… Su Zu, Su Zu ran 9.87 seconds, unbelievable, Su Zu ran 9.89 seconds when he was obviously at a disadvantage, oh my God, if he didn't start with that one stumbling, what kind of numbers would he run?! Maybe Sue will be able to break the world record again! ”
"The world record holder, the world's top sprinter, has achieved a surprising result in the face of all kinds of doubts! He was faster than Derek Atkins in second...... 0.13 seconds faster...... God, this is an absolute power gap. ”
On the field, the spectators stationed in the media area on the sidelines at this time before the finish line were like wild horses, frantically rushing towards the field, surround Su Zu.
Su Zu raised his right index finger high, made a first gesture, and then knelt down on the runway, kissing the runway gently, and countless cameras and cameras recorded Su Zu's action.
After more than half a year of hard work and countless doubts, it finally disappeared in this game.
For Su Zu, the most important significance is that he regained the 10-second mark and re-adapted to the new rhythm.
Fang Cai's 100 meters of laying, except for his mistake in the first step, his later performance was perfect. Even if he didn't deliberately count the number of steps he ran, Su Zu knew that he only had 43 steps to finish this trip.
He knew that with a little more perfection and a little more skill, he would be able to run faster, be able to exceed his limits, and surpass his own world record!
In the cheers of the audience, Su Zu opened his arms and circled the arena, making a flying movement in the air.
"Sue!"
"Sue!"
"Sue!"
The Stade de France erupted in loud shouts, and the applause and cheers of the whole audience were given to one person.
The world No. 1 who set a world record here last year and was later questioned by the media that he might fall.
And now, he is announcing to the world with a hearty victory, he is the champion, the number one in the world!
Outside the stadium, countless media and sports workers who had previously sung down and questioned Su Zu were dead at this moment.
In the face of Su Zu's achievements this time, even if you want to use Su Zu's abnormal phenomenon or an accidental success to explain the previous smear, you can't do it.
Because, following the Lausanne Grand Prix, the Rome Golden League, the Sheffield Grand Prix, the Madrid IAAF Grand Prix, the Monaco Grand Prix, the London Grand Prix, the Stockholm Grand Prix, ...... Seven top events on the IAAF World Tour, Su Zu recreates the madness of 2006!
9.89 seconds!
9.87 seconds!
9.84 seconds!
9.79 seconds!
9.77 seconds!
9.75 seconds!
9.73 seconds!
Win all seven battles!
With an unstoppable attitude, Su Zu announced that he was the fastest person in the world at present!
The original voice disappeared for a while, and all the media turned to positive reports, praise, admiration, and analysis of Su Zu's dazzling victory like the sun after a short silence!
Among them, in the Golden League in Rome, Suzu faced Asafa Powell, who had retired due to injury, and in that game, Suzu won Powell again by 0.03 seconds!
As the time enters August, the eyes of the world have fallen on Osaka, Japan.
The 2007 World Championships in Osaka is about to kick off!
Who will be able to put an end to Suzu's victory!
Who can break Su Zu's dominance in the men's 100m!
Who can break the world record in the men's 100m 9.72 seconds!
Tyson Gaye, Asafa Powell, or any other genius?!
The whirlwind of the world is blowing all over the globe!
