“…… Welcome to the semi-finals of the men's 100m at this World Championships, I am the live commentary Yang Jian, and now our athletes have already appeared......"

At 19:20 Helsinki time, the men's 100m semifinals of this World Championships began.

Despite a lot of tossing, Suzu and his party did not encounter any twists and turns and arrived at the Helsinki Olympic Stadium smoothly.

At the beginning of the evening game, it was already 1:20 a.m. in China, and today is Sunday, and there is a 6-hour difference between Finnish time and China, many office workers have not stayed up late to continue watching the World Championships.

In terms of ratings, there is definitely no way to compare with the Olympic period, but there are still many people who stay up late to watch the game. The men's 100m race has always been more attractive no matter what the event, not to mention Su Zu among the participating athletes.

The camera switches to the starting area of the men's 100m semi-finals, and eight semi-finalists have appeared on the TV screen.

When Su Zu appeared standing in the position of the fourth lane, it still caused many cheers from many people. This is the feeling of honor, and among the athletes who are black and slippery, there is a young man of the same skin color as himself, wearing a sportswear embroidered with the national flag, which makes people feel extremely excited and proud.

After the start of the World Championships, the domestic media turned over and over a lot of news, one of which was about Suzu's sprint results in 2005, in 2005, Suzu was second only to Asafa Powell in the men's 100-meter sprint, and occupied three places in the top ten, higher than last year's Athens Olympic champion Justin Gatlin.

In the men's 200m results, Su Zu was even more terrifying, and the first two results were monopolized by him.

It's a wonderful feeling.

Especially some sports lovers, people who like athletics, almost have a bit of a carnival. It's really like the men's basketball team has the strength to compete for the world, football...... Forget that......

"Eight athletes have already appeared on the track, and most of the players in Su Zu's group are his old opponents, oh, they have won in the men's 100m event since Su Zu's debut."

With the entry of the athletes, Yang Jian, the live commentator on TV, did not mention the unexpected situation that Su Zu encountered when he came to the stadium, which was politically correct, but discussed the situation of this group of athletes with the audience in front of the TV.

The audience in front of the TV watched the athletes appear one by one, some of them were sharp-eyed, or they were concerned after the storm of athletics sprinting began, and they really recognized many people.

Most of the athletes who have reached the level of the World Championships have paid attention to it if they go back, which is basically a relatively small circle.

First, Australia's Josh Rose, born in 1981, won the Australian long jump championship at the age of 10, and then remained a rugby player until he was 19 years old, when he returned to track and field, and won four consecutive Australian national 100m championships.

Second, Trinidad and Tobago's Mark Burns, born in 1983, lost heat stroke at last year's Athens Olympics, but ran a personal best of 9.96 seconds in June 2005, finishing eighth in the top 10 best times of 2005.

In the third way, Sean Crawford, the 200m champion of the Athens Olympics, did not participate in the men's 200m race at this World Championships, but only registered for a men's 100m.

Fifth, Leonard Scott of the United States, since the first Yokohama All-Star Game and Suzu played against Suzu in the first Yokohama All-Star Game last year, Scott has competed with Suzu in the Osaka Grand Prix and the Eugene Grand Prix, and Leonard Scott, who was born in 80, has also entered an explosive year this year, and his condition is just right. In the 2005 men's 100m, Leonard ran a personal best of 9.94 seconds in the men's 100m at the London Super Grand Prix on July 22. And on May 11 this year, he also made a breakthrough in the 200m event, running a personal best of 20.34 seconds.

In the sixth lane, Portugal's Francis Obikoviru, since the men's 100m final of the Athens Olympics ran out, Obiqueviru has participated in many Grand Prix this year.

In the seventh lane, Jamaica's Michael Flett finished fourth in the same group as Suzu in the semifinals.

The eighth lane, Nigeria's Fasuba, born in 1984, is an extremely talented player, in addition to track and field sprinting, he is also proficient in football, volleyball, basketball. In 2003, he entered the Nigerian national team, participated in the World Championships, won the fourth place in the 4×100m relay, and won the men's 100m event in the first Asian-African Games in 2003 with a time of 10.15 seconds.

Su Zu ran a time of 9.97 seconds in the semi-final, which was the best result in the semi-final, and was arranged in the fourth lane.

Standing in the starting area, Su Zu glanced at Sean Crawford beside him, the other party's expression has been a little dignified, and when he was checking in the warm-up, Su Zu saw that Sean Crawford's state did not seem to be particularly ideal, especially when the other party did not participate in the men's 200-meter race this time.

After asking, I learned that Sean Crawford has some muscle strains this year, and his condition is not good. At the World Championships trials in the United States, he did not qualify for the men's 200m.

This seems a bit funny to outsiders, and it is a fantasy that the men's 200m champion of the Olympic Games will not be able to participate in the World Championships.

But after Su Zu passed through the Eugene station, he did deeply feel how many sprinters in the United States are. Wallace Spearmon, Tyson Gay, etc., in the men's 200m event, it is normal for Shaun Crawford to be eliminated as long as he is a little out of shape.

“On your marks！”

A sound sounded in place, Su Zu's distracting thoughts were emptied, his heart was calm, and he walked onto the starting block without hurry.

In the semi-finals of this group, Suzu was not without opponents, Obikviru, the Portuguese veteran, although Suzu won once in Eugene, but never dared to underestimate him.

Obi Keviru is more than 1.9 meters tall, and as long as his reaction speed is not too slow, he can achieve a certain advantage in the starting acceleration stage, and the running results will not be too bad.

Of course, Obikviru's speed and endurance in the second half of the race are average, not at the top level, if his speed and endurance are at the level of Sean Crawford, with his height and size, the 200-meter run will be even more amazing.

There's also Trinidad and Tobago's rookie Mark Burns, who has been on amazing momentum this year.

As for the other players, Su Zu also has a certain understanding, their respective technical styles, and level levels.

This is the semi-final to the final, the top three of the two semi-final groups directly advance to the final, and the remaining two places are selected according to the best results.

Su Zu is basically sure that in the semi-finals, most of the players should start to go all out, not all players can always play steadily, and it is not so easy to advance to the finals among the masters.

Stepping on the starting block with both feet, Su Zu moved the position of his fingers and pressed in front of the starting line, and the rough plastic track was still a little damp and cold.

Su Zu took a light breath and focused his attention on the current game.

Concentration, one of the most important abilities in the 100-meter sprint.

Focus on training, focus on the game. This is a very important competency, and it is also a very practical competency.

Many times everyone will find that in the same noisy situation, some people are able to read books and do homework, and some people are restless and can't do anything as long as there is a slight noise.

This high level of mental concentration requires a long period of anti-interference training. It is also a strong psychological performance, many excellent athletes have excellent training or competition results, but in many major events, when they are concerned by countless people, they often cannot play their best state, and there are also factors in this regard.

Just like sometimes we watch some competitions, many athletes who are very young in the eyes of everyone can completely ignore the gaze and pressure of other people, and still finish the competition by themselves.

A large part of his good performance against pressure here also comes from his level of focus.

Once you focus on the game, many times all kinds of external distractions and internal pressures are naturally put aside.

Su Zu was a human being, and his mentality was originally better than that of ordinary people. In the years of training and competition, he has also improved a lot in this area.

When he walks on the starting block and focuses on the race, basically whether it is the emotions in front of him or a lot of negative pressure, he will be restrained one by one.

At this time, there is only one thought, wait for the starting gun to sound, and then run!
