(This chapter is more boring)

The World Championships in Osaka is the 11th World Athletics Championships under the auspices of the IAAF and will be held from August 25 to September 2, 2007.

A total of 1,978 athletes from 212 IAAF federation members competed, making it the largest number of athletes at the World Championships to date.

After failing to bid for the 2008 Olympic Games, Osaka joined Budapest, Hungary, and Berlin, Germany, in expressing its intention to bid for the 2007 World Championships. In accordance with the IAAF deadline of 1 October 2002, both Budapest and Berlin withdrew their bids and on 15 November 2002 Osaka was declared the only remaining candidate. Berlin later won the bid to host the 2009 World Championships.

On August 25th, from early in the morning, the game in Yongjing Stadium has kicked off.

At 10:20 a.m., when Su Zu crossed the road and entered the track and field, he felt the heat wave coming from the pavement. At this time, the temperature in Osaka has exceeded 35°C, and the ground looks like it has been baked.

Due to the hot summer weather, the men's marathon, the first major event of the World Championships, began at 7 a.m. local time, and 94 top marathon runners from all over the world began to compete for the championship.

The local heat in Osaka began to kick off around 8 o'clock, which also affected the course of the race. By the 5km mark, six runners had already withdrawn from the race, and as the race progressed, some of them fell to the ground from heat stroke.

The Chinese team can be described as completely annihilated. Of the 5 Chinese players who participated in the competition, the top 30 in the final practice did not make it. The Chinese runner who ran the best time was nearly 14 minutes away from the champion Kibet of Kenya.

Kibet, a Kenyan prison guard, had a flawless performance in the marathon, and after 90 minutes and more than 30 kilometers, he came out on top and began to take the lead, leading by 23 seconds by the 35km mark, and finally crossed the finish line first with a time of 2 hours, 15 minutes and 59 seconds.

The 3000m steeplechase preliminaries after the marathon poured cold water on the Chinese team——— three women of the Chinese team put on the battle, but they did not play at the level they should have and failed to reach the final.

Starting from the men's marathon at 7 o'clock in the morning, the women's heptathlon 100-meter hurdles, men's shot put, women's 3000-meter steeplechase, women's heptathlon high jump, and men's 1500-meter competitions were held.

The first day of the morning competition has arrived, and the Chinese team can only wait for the men's 100m preliminaries to see how Su Zu will play next.

The men's 100m heats started at 11:10 a.m., with a total of eight preliminaries groups, and Su Zu was in the fourth group of the preliminaries.

At this time, in the track and field field, although the attendance rate is not particularly high, the atmosphere is okay.

Only 46% of seats were sold before August 20, and less than half of yesterday's opening ceremony was due to weather and higher ticket prices.

Just walked into the track and field field and waited for the game to start for a short period of time, Su Zu and the other seven preliminators in the same group were all sweating.

And the audience who can still walk into the track and field to watch the game in such a hot summer is undoubtedly true love. When Su Zu appeared on the track and field, he still won a lot of cheers.

The first Asian runner to run under 10 seconds, the first double champion in the men's 100m and 200m, and the current holder of the men's 100m world record, Su Zu has no shortage of fans and fans in Japan.

No matter what different views they have on Japan in East Asia, China, Japan, and South Korea, at least in the world arena, it can be said that Japan has left South Korea behind.

Moreover, Osaka, Japan is not like the previous World Championships in Helsinki, far away in Europe, and there are obviously many more overseas Chinese and overseas Chinese from China to Osaka, Japan than in the previous edition.

In the stadium of tens of thousands of people, the flags were unfurled, and Su Zu looked up and looked a little, and he could see that in the front of the audience, from time to time, there were single people or acquaintances, waving red flags together.

Su Zu stood on the sixth track, looking at the 100-meter track, the facilities of the World Championships were significantly more advanced than when he participated in the previous Grand Prix.

There is an electric wheel rail on the right side of the track, and there is a camera frame on the wheel rail, and the high-multiple camera uses a motor to drive the wheel and rail to rotate, and through the control of speed, it can achieve the speed synchronized with the athletes, and can clearly and accurately record the competitive state of the athletes on the field.

A total of 68 athletes participated in the men's 100m race, divided into eight preliminary groups, of which nine competitors were from the four groups of the first and second rounds, six and seventh, and eight from the other preliminary groups.

Suzu sat in the fourth group of the preliminaries, and in front of him, the likes of Tyson Gay, Shinji Asahara, Kim Collins and Derek Atkins made the cut.

Su Zu's sixth lane in the preliminaries was good, relatively in the middle, because his preliminaries group only had eight players, and in terms of track arrangement, he started directly from the second lane.

The second lane is Trinidad and Tobago's Richard Thompson, the third lane is Canada's Anson Henry, the fourth lane is Burkina Faso's Idrisa Sanu, the fifth lane is American Mark Gilks, the sixth lane Suzu, the seventh lane is American Samoan Sloane Sanitoa, the eighth lane is Ecuadorian Franklin Nazareno, and the ninth lane is Spain's David Rodriguez.

Of the seven players competing in the same field, Suzu is basically unfamiliar with the rest of the players except for Richard Thompson and Mark Gilks.

A large number of newcomers emerge in the world of athletics every year, and there are not many people who can meet the AB standard of participation in the World Championships on a global scale. Many of the players who can meet this standard have only run in some regional events that meet the participation standards when they are in excellent personal condition, and many players are often unsatisfactory when they really step on the stage of international competitions such as the World Championships.

However, for many athletes, being able to set foot on such a top arena and be on the same starting line as the current top athletes is already a rare experience in the competition.

After the starting gun rang out, Su Zu was running at his own pace, but he didn't go all out.

He was also heavily contested at the World Championships, with the men's 100m preliminary and semi-finals on 25 August, the semi-finals and final of the men's 100m on 26 August, followed by the men's 200m and men's 4×100m relays.

And the level of this group of players is also a relatively low group among the many preliminary groups.

Suzu comfortably topped the group with a time of 10.05 seconds, while Richard Thompson, who finished second in the group, finished just 10.29 seconds.

To Suzu's surprise, American Mark Gilkes, seeded third in the 60m and fourth in the 100m at the US Indoor Games this year, seemed to run just 13.64 seconds due to injury and nervousness. Compared to the 12.64 seconds of Sloan-Sanitoa in the seventh American Samoa, it was a full second slower, and unfortunately he was out.

In the first round of the men's 100-meter preliminaries in the morning, 68 into 32, the powerful players are basically focused on preserving physical fitness. With the exception of Suzu, neither Tyson Gay nor Asafa Powell ran 10.10 seconds.

In the afternoon, due to the local heat, there was no race.

It wasn't until 6 p.m. that the games resumed.

The men's 100m semi-final was scheduled at 19:15, which was different from the morning preliminaries, and at this stage of the semi-finals, basically all the participating athletes began to exert their strength. 32 into 16, the same half of the quota, at this time the competition has gradually become fierce, the average level of players, a little careless may be played down.

In the four semi-final groups, Asafa Powell ranked in the first group of the semi-finals, taking the lead with a time of 10.01 seconds, followed by Tyson Gay in the second group of the semi-finals who also ran 10.06 seconds to advance to the first place in the group.

In the third group of the semi-finals, the athletes competing in the same group have begun to be familiar faces he knows, except for Suzu who ran 10.03 seconds, Kuranti Martina of the Netherlands Antilles followed closely with a time of 10.10 seconds, British star Mark Lewis Francis with a time of 10.17 seconds, and Jamaican star Nesta Carter with a time of 10.23 seconds, all began to show the strength of the world's top players.

With the end of the preliminaries and semi-finals of the men's 100m event on the first day, major Japanese TV stations and many experts have written articles to start warming up for the semi-finals and finals on the second day.

Many people in the field of athletics believe that the track of Nagai Stadium in Osaka, Japan, is very easy to produce good results because of the use of high-tech technology.

Su Zu, Powell, and Guy also ran into a time of 10.10 seconds when they obviously had obvious retention in the back twenty or thirty meters.

Judging from today's performance, all three are in very good shape. Needless to say, Su Zu has regained his top spot since the Paris Golden League and has returned to a super high individual competitive state.

Powell suffered a groin strain at the 2007 Kingston Dental Championships, and according to the current situation, he has adjusted to his best.

After Tyson Gay won the double in 9.84 seconds and 19.62 seconds at the US Championships in Indianapolis this year, he reduced the number of races and training sessions due to the low headwind after the rain, and the men's 100m preliminaries and rematch on the first day.

All three of them became the well-deserved group leaders, and they were completely in a state of fierce competition.

And compared to Suzu, Powell and Guy have not won any world championships so far, and since the early start of the war, the two are bound to win the first place in the final of the 100-meter battle.

And whether Su Zu, the double champion of the last World Championships, can successfully defend his title and whether he will be picked off by the two in the World Championships has also become the object of discussion among many media and audiences.

At this time, some large spinach companies in Europe and the United States have opened a handicap for the 100-meter championship of the World Championships, and there are various discussions on the domestic Internet at this time.

A big battle of "Mars hitting the Earth" is inevitable, and it will be interesting to see who will be the fastest person on this planet!
