Chapter 355: Award Ceremony
August 27 at 21:30 p.m.
The women's 100-meter race in Nagai Stadium has just come to an end, and the scene is noisy, and the eight runners who have just finished the race at the finish line are panting and looking up at the big screen at the scene.
After the game, this battle is considered to be the lowest gap in history, and it affects the hearts of many people at this time.
Compared with the final results of the top three athletes in the men's 100m, the close results of the top three in the women's 100m also exceeded everyone's expectations.
The top three contestants crossed the line one after another with a slight gap that could not be judged by the naked eye, and the so-called high-tech high-speed electronic cameras were also at a loss, and huge controversy ensued.
The first winner on the big screen was Tony Edwards, followed by Williams in second place, but not all of the players were given.
But this is a completely untenable result, because Edwards's gap can be completely identified by the electronic camera, she has neither the extra-long hair of her predecessor Devers, nor the hands stretched forward when sprinting, and the whole person is obviously lagging behind.
Tony Edwards may also have sensed that this was a mistake, as she herself had no expression, and when the big screen started to play in slow motion, the results showed that the column suddenly went blank as if jokingly, and suddenly jumped out of the ranking of Jamaica's Campbell.
After watching the slow motion, Williams, Campbell and Jettle began to believe that they were at least the top three players, and judging from the final shot of crossing the line, Williams not only stepped on the line first, but also crossed the line with her arm, which gave her a boost of confidence and began to give interviews to reporters.
After more than 1 minute, the big screen suddenly played the final result, and the results of all 8 players were all together, it was still Campbell, who won the championship in 11.01 seconds, but the audience was in an uproar, because Williams was second with the same result!
Campbell, who waited on the side for a long time, was extremely excited, she immediately wore the Jamaican flag and began to celebrate around the field, leaving only three embarrassed American players, Edwards lost without words, Jettle was already slightly behind, and it was not the main topic, the biggest controversy was Lauren Williams, and it was clearly shown in the continuous shooting that her arms and feet were on the line first, and Campbell's hands and feet were in a backward posture at this time.
In track events, there is a rule that the position of all track participants at the finish line is determined by the order in which their torso (as opposed to the head, neck, arms, legs, hands or feet) reaches the vertical line on the inside of the finish line. In other words, it was not her hands and feet that made the first line that decided Lauren Williams to finish second, but her torso, and this rule pushed Campbell to the championship!
The three American women lost to Jamaica's Campbell, which made the atmosphere of the arena a little frozen for a while.
"The gap is really too small."
"This women's 100m final is even more thrilling than your men's 100m yesterday!"
In the audience outside the arena, Su Zu, Li Zhizhong and Zhang Pingqiu all watched the women's 100-meter trapeze competition.
Campbell and Williams both scored 11.01 seconds, and the difference between the two was extremely small, and the final referee's decision was more difficult than yesterday's gap between men's Tyson Gay and Powell.
But this is the sprint, the 100-meter race, when the strength is close, often the difference is 100 minutes and seconds, or even 1000 seconds.
For the players, this gap is almost difficult to convince them. This is also the reason why Suzu, Powell and Guy are looking forward to the game again and again.
Everyone's strength is too close, and Su Zu, the public enemy of track and field, has occupied the world No. 1 position for too long since 2005, and there are too many European and American athletes who hope to kick him over the throne and be crowned king himself.
……
After the women's 100m, the next link is the men's 100m medal ceremony, which was completed yesterday.
After the women's 100m time came out, Suzu left the crowd and reached the mixed aisle area, where Tyson Gay and Powell were already waiting.
From the beginning of the meeting, Tyson Gay just glanced at Su Zu faintly, did not speak, the competition between the two in the World Championships is not over, tomorrow will be damned the men's 200 meters race, but Powell smiled at Su Zu.
Su Zu can feel the mood of the two at the moment, compared with the previous Shaun Crawford and even Justin Gatlin, the relationship between Su Zu and Powell is relatively ordinary.
Even though Powell's mentality has changed to a certain extent and he can look at world-class competitions from a more peaceful angle, the competitive spirit hidden in the bones of that kind of athlete can still be clearly seen through his eyes.
As for Tyson Gay, Su Zu can be very sure that the relationship between the two will gradually cool, and perhaps wait for the day when one of them withdraws from the world athletics, and may resume a better relationship.
This is a normal situation, after all, athletes are not some other profession that is good at disguise, and when you see a person as an opponent, as a goal to transcend defeat, it is difficult for them to hide their inner hostility.
Although this hostility is not entirely malicious, and is just a rivalry in the ring, it is impossible to really get off the field and resume a particularly good personal relationship again.
This situation is the same even within the national team, where competition is everywhere, and a place that appears may cause teammates with whom they had good personal relationships to turn against each other.
Everybody wants to win.
"Guys, please follow me into the game!"
Just after Su Zu entered the queue of three, a man wearing a white peaked cap and a white work vest walked up to the three of them, bowed, and said in a somewhat stiff English.
Tyson Gay nodded expressionlessly, and both Suzu and Powell smiled back.
Passing through the corridor, the stadium is brightly lit up as if it were daytime.
When the three of them walked past the freshly laid red carpet and walked to the podium, the scene was filled with shouts and jubilation.
Attendance at Nagai Stadium tonight was not high, and although the women's 100m final was just as exciting, compared to the men's 100m race, the crowd was not as good as yesterday's.
Among the nearly 20,000 spectators, one-fifth of them are from China, and the five-star red flag can be seen everywhere in the audience.
They waited from the afternoon to the evening, waiting for this moment.
Men's 100m Victory Ceremony.
Su Zu stood in the middle of the three of them in a red tracksuit, looking at the highest podium in front of him, and listening to the voices shouting his name from time to time around him.
Excited!
Since I embarked on the road of competitive sports, six years have passed before I know it.
And he has walked on the podium again and again.
But every time, standing here in red flags, my heart still can't be calm.
Especially after this year's winter training, he began to change his pace, and he had a brief slip in the 100m.
Truth be told, that little difference is perfectly normal for professional athletes.
But when you are running with everyone's expectations, any slight mistake, any trace of ups and downs in performance, will tie everyone's hearts.
And now, Su Zu has made the people who follow him and support him ecstatic with another victory!
It is normal for the domestic media to report on this day, and even to be on the news again earlier tonight.
“…… Men's 100m gold medalist at this World Championships...... ...... from China Su Zu ......"
When Su Zu heard his name being shouted on the conference radio, he didn't think much about it and learned Liu Yangyu's performance of jumping on the podium at the Olympic Games in '04.
Standing on the highest podium, the three national flags were slowly raised on the flagpole of the venue, accompanied by the prelude to the unfamiliar March of the Volunteers.
On the right is the Jamaican flag with a black and green background and yellow stripes, and on the left is the Stars and Stripes of the United States.
And the highest one in the middle is the five-star red flag that is as bright as blood!
Blowing in the wind!
