Chapter 180: The Great Demon King
an hour ago.
Walking down from the bus, Su Zu and Yang Guangzong waited for the roll call in front of the check-in area.
Among the many preliminaries, Su Zu saw Justin Gatlin, who met again last night, and last night at 19:30 was the men's 100m medal ceremony.
The medal ceremony was held at the Olympic Stadium, and the award was presented by Mr. He Zhenliang, a member of the Olympic Committee.
Then, among the many athletes named by Su Zu in the check-in area, Su Zu saw a tall and thin figure. is really tall and thin, and still stands out from the crowd of 200-meter athletes who are quite tall and in shape.
At this time, he has not completely corrected his scoliosis, and his body shape is far less vigorous than that of later generations, but Su Zu is still very cautious, but he is afraid that he is the big demon king at this time, if he is in the best condition, Su Zu thinks that it is difficult to have a chance of winning 200 meters.
As early as Su Zu had just entered the sports school, in 2002, the other party was not yet 16 years old and could run 20.61 seconds in the 200 meters at the World Youth Championships. Before Su Zu appeared, there was only one person in China who could achieve this result, Yang Guangzong. There are no more than five athletes in the whole of Asia who can run this time.
At the Caribbean Community Games in Bermuda on April 1, he ran 19.93 seconds, becoming the first young athlete ever to run 20 seconds and improving the previous 200m record by a full 0.14 seconds.
And just when Su Zu was observing this black lightning that had achieved countless sprinting miracles in later generations, the other party also seemed to notice Su Zu's gaze, and his immature face was a little anxious and contradictory, and he grinned slightly at Su Zu and showed a friendly smile, and then frowned again.
Standing in their respective teams, Su Zu smiled and nodded hello to the other party, and signed in with Yang Guangzong under the leadership of the on-site staff.
"Do you know that Jamaican athlete?"
Yang Guangzong walked beside Su Zu and glanced at Su Zu a little strangely, not understanding why he had been observing the tall and thin black athlete.
"yes, yes."
Su Zu nodded faintly, and a somewhat unpredictable and complicated look appeared on his face.
"How's he doing? I don't think I'm too old. ”
Yang Guangzong also noticed just now that the black athlete was very tall, seven or eight centimeters taller than him, but his face was still quite immature, not like he was very old.
"Strength?" Su Zu smiled slightly and shook his head, maybe everyone should know in a few years.
Yang Guangzong saw that Su Zu was stunned, and he didn't care, at this time his heart was also in a state of pre-game tension, and he had been looking for someone to talk back, soothing his temperament.
On the other side, among the three participating athletes in Jamaica at this time, Asafa Powell, who looked much more mature than his peers, pointed to Su Zu's back, "Hey, VJ, that's Su from China." ”
"I know, I watched your 100m final yesterday." Borter nodded, "He's very strong, and he's the only athlete of these players who is a few months younger than me. ”
"I don't know how good he is in the 200m." Asafa Powell finished fifth in the 100m final yesterday, and he regretted not winning a medal.
"By the way, how's your injury?" Asafa Powell asked.
"Run as long as you can." The master black boy shook his head, frowning, and looked a little depressed.
It is a great honour for an athlete to be able to participate in the Olympics, winning a gold medal like Michael Johnson, an American star he admires, and being cheered on by the crowd around the stadium wearing the national flag.
But this time he came to the Olympics, he resisted, and he was not excited at all. He has yet to recover from back and leg tendon injuries, and the Olympics are a stage for track and field athletes to showcase themselves at their peak, and this time he was completely unprepared and not even out of the gloom of missing the World Junior Championships.
He wanted to give up the 200m at the Olympics for the first season of his career, but he spent it through injury, and he was not only not interested in the Olympics, but could even say hateful.
And a huge turning point is that Steve Mullins, a very powerful Jamaican 200m athlete at this time, ran a time of 20.22 seconds in the national trials and qualified for the competition. As a result, when the Jamaican National Championships were sampled for banned drugs, his sample tested positive for *** hormones and was banned for two years.
In order to maintain the level of participating athletes, as much as possible to win medals for Jamaica at the Olympic Games. The coaching staff of the Jamaican track and field team forced a decision to let him compete.
Prior to the competition, he was treated with the famous Dr. Hans Müller Wolfath, and the results were preliminary, at least the injury was largely recovered.
As a result, just a few days ago during training, suddenly another athlete crossed the track while he was running, and his ankle twisted to avoid a collision.
In real life, at this time, he has not achieved many brilliant flying people, he has always been a fun-loving, noisy and funny character, and when he participated in the competition under national pressure for the first time, he would be so scared that he couldn't sleep, he would want to give up, he would cry, and he would be nervous and weak. And in the same way, after determining the goal, you can also restrain the casualness on your body and become focused and hardworking.
And this time he was suddenly injured, in order to avoid the expansion of the injury, he should have taken a break for a while, and this time he accepted this challenge head-on.
Su Zu followed the familiar check-in process, reporting by name, collecting urine samples, receiving number plates, grouping, waiting, and a series of other related work.
After the first and second groups of preliminaries in the 200-meter preliminaries, Su Zu moved his joints and limbs on the warm-up track and walked into the Olympic Stadium with the other seven athletes in the unified group.
The scorching sun shone on the stadium, and the sun at ten o'clock in the morning and eleven o'clock in the morning were all scorching and blazing on people's skin, and the stadium was steaming.
There were noticeably fewer people in the stands than before, and almost half of the stands were empty.
Except for the part of the Chinese who came to cheer for Su Zu, the atmosphere of the audience can be said to be quite dull.
Standing in front of the starting line, Su Zu raised his hand and said hello to the Chinese people who came to cheer for him, the vacant seats and dull atmosphere in the audience this morning were half due to the hot weather, and the other half of the reason, Su Zu also understood that it was because of the Greek national player, the Sydney Olympic 200-meter champion Kentris was banned.
This feeling is like the final of the S7 Bird's Nest, and the scalpers are all going to refund their tickets.
