Chapter 237: Bomb Horror

"Sue, congratulations, you once again ran the 10-second mark and advanced to the semifinals with the first place in the semi-finals. Can you tell us what you expect from the finals? ”

"What do you think about last time the world champion Kim Collins lost and missed the semi-finals?"

"Wouldn't it be more beneficial for you to put the 'zero front-running' rule on hold and discuss it again?"

"In the 2005 men's 100m, you finished second only to Asafa Powell and better than Justin Gatlin, are you confident of beating him in the final?

"Did the rain affect your normal performance?"

……

After the men's 100-meter semi-final, Su Zu was blocked by several reporters to ask questions during the journey of Yongdao. There are English speakers, and there are also strange voices that call Chinese.

"Thanks, I need to change my clothes now."

Su Zu glanced at it and didn't see the CCTV logo, so he didn't pay much attention to these reporters. I just finished running 100 meters, I was sweating, and the night breeze in this road was blowing, and it was still a little chilly.

However, while walking, Su Zu still remembered the reporter's question, as of the current time, he really occupied several positions in the top ten of the men's 100 meters in 2005.

The most striking and brilliant result in the men's 100m in 2005 was undoubtedly Jamaica's Asafa Powell, who lost at the 2004 Athens Olympics last year, and this year Powell was in full swing, running 9.84 seconds, 9.85 seconds and a world record of 9.77 seconds in Kingston, Ostrafa and Athens, occupying the top three positions.

Asafa Powell also relied on these three results to reach the top, becoming the first in the IAAF men's athletes' overall standings and the first place in the men's 100m points in the individual event.

The next two times in fourth and fifth place were 9.88 seconds and 9.89 seconds set by Su Zu in Osaka on May 7 and Eugene on June 4, and Su Zu also ran 9.97 seconds in New York to finish 10th on the list.

In addition, Justin Gatlin finished sixth and ninth on the list with a time of 9.89 seconds and 9.96 seconds, respectively.

Seventh was Leonard Scott, who finished second behind Justin Gatlin in the men's 100m at the London Super Grand Prix on July 22 with a time of 9.94 seconds.

Eighth-placed was Mark Burns of Trinidad and Tobago, who ran 9.96 seconds in Portu on June 25.

As can be seen from this list, before the 2005 World Championships, almost all of the best results of the year were occupied by Asafa Powell, Suzu and Justin Gatlin.

……

After the evening's competition, Suzu did not linger at the stadium and began the next competition in the women's heptathlon 200m, as well as the qualifying round of the high jump and the men's discus.

These have little to do with him, the only important event is the women's 10,000-meter race, but Li Zhizhong was afraid that Su Zu would catch a cold after staying for a long time, so he asked him to go back to the athletes' village in advance.

The athletes' village for the World Championships is located at the Helsinki University of Technology in the Espoo region on the outskirts of Helsinki, and the security is still very strict, except for the members of the delegations, even if the reporters want to enter easily, they need to contact the team leaders of each delegation one day in advance, and at least one IAAF staff member will accompany them throughout the process.

On August 7, Su Zu did a simple adaptation training at the athletics field of the athletes' village during the day, and did not go to the stadium to watch the game.

Tonight, he will play the highlight of this World Championships, the semifinals and finals of the men's 100m, and he needs to maintain his condition and must not be negligent.

At this time, the media outside was already discussing the defeat of the last world champion Kim Collins, and at the same time, the host Finnish track and field coach found a large amount of doping, and the Kenyan president exhorted his athletes not to betray the motherland for financial gain, etc., and the news hotspots came out one after another.

As for China, Xing Huina, the first World Championships gold medalist, once again set her sights on the men's 100m semifinals and finals that Su Zu is going to start today, after losing the women's 10,000-meter run.

The men's 100m semi-finals start at 7:20 p.m. tonight, and after the semi-finals, there will be several events such as the women's triple jump, the women's 800m, and finally the men's 100m final at 21:35 p.m.

At half past 17 in the evening, on the bus from the athletes' village to the Helsinki Olympic Stadium, Jiang Daheng smiled and joked with Su Zu: "Su Zu, you have to run well in the semi-finals, don't let me toss in vain." ”

This trip to the Olympic Stadium, in addition to Li Zhizhong, Yuan Guohua and Zhang Pingqiu, a few coaches, physiotherapist Jiang Daheng also went to the stadium with the car.

The coaching team learned the lessons of the previous Athens Olympics and specially asked Jiang Daheng to accompany him, in order to ensure that Su Zu could be massaged and relaxed between the semi-finals and finals, so as to better ensure Su Zu's physical fitness.

"Master Jiang, please say a few words."

Hearing Jiang Daheng's ridicule, Li Zhizhong and Yuan Guohua on the side were communicating in a whisper, ignoring it. But Zhang Pingqiu, who was sitting next to him, reminded him softly.

Between the semi-finals and the finals, some jokes are still not suitable for playing, and plain will put pressure on the athletes.

Jiang Daheng looked at the faces of several people, and also came to his senses a little, and sneered: "Alas, this is not the first time I have followed an athlete, don't be surprised, don't be surprised." ”

"It's okay, Master Jiang." Su Zu didn't care about Jiang Daheng's words, and smiled, "I definitely won't let you run in vain, and I will have to rely on you to play in the finals." ”

For Suzu, his current form is no problem, this time in the men's 100m race, the main opponent is Gatlin, Shawn Crawford, as long as it is not a major mistake, it is certain to enter the final.

As for whether he can win Gatlin, he doesn't have a score in his heart, but being able to compete with such a master is something that he can't ask for.

"No problem, sure." Jiang Daheng smiled, patted his chest and said.

Crunch Squeak –

As he spoke, the bus braked suddenly, and the tires made a tooth-aching sound against the ground. Everyone sitting in the car followed the inertia of the car and shook it forward at the same time.

With a "poof", Su Zu bumped on the backrest in front of the seat, but fortunately, the back of the seat was wrapped with a sponge, and it didn't hurt too much, just a little dizzy.

"What's wrong?"

"What's the situation?"

Several people raised their heads and looked ahead, outside the front windshield of the bus, many vehicles on the road had stopped, including several athletes' buses that were also going to the Olympic Stadium.

"You didn't have an accident, did you?" Li Zhizhong poked his head out and glanced ahead, he was afraid that an accident had happened on this kind of road, which would affect Su Zu's participation in the competition.

"Don't worry, I'll go find out the situation."

On the bus, a Finnish staff member comforted everyone in the bus and hurried to the front.

The Finnish side arranged that in addition to the driver of the bus, a staff member of the organizer accompanied him to prevent any unexpected incidents.

"What happened?" Everyone in the car had questions.

Outside the window, people came from the intersection in front of them one after another, and their expressions were a little panicked.

Looking ahead through the window of the bus, at the street intersection in front of the bus, the Finnish police were on standby, pulling up layers of cordons and blocking the road.

Su Zu even saw two policemen in blast suits hurrying out of a police car, cautiously entering a truck within the cordon.

"Bomb! There are bombs in front! ”

A scream rang out in the crowd, mixed in English and Finnish.

"Shut up!"

As soon as the voices in the crowd sounded, the Finnish police officers restrained the screaming man, as if fearing that he would cause a riot by shouting and screaming.

However, Su Zu still heard it, Li Zhizhong, Yuan Guohua, Zhang Pingqiu and others all have experience in going abroad for exchanges, and their English is not bad, although they don't really hear it, they still catch the most important words.

The people nearby heard it, and there was a buzz of discussion in an instant.

"What is he talking about?" Jiang Daheng, who was next to him, looked at the faces of several people and suddenly asked.

"Let's get out of the car first." Su Zu's face changed slightly, and he turned his head to Li Zhizhong and Yuan Guohua and said.

"It should be alright, right?" Yuan Guohua's face was not very good-looking, and he said a little uncertainly.

Everyone has lived in China for a long time, and they have never encountered such a thing, and they are still a little surprised for a while.

"Let's get out of the car and wait." Li Zhizhong got up and beckoned the others, "Everyone get out of the car first and wait outside the car." ”

Jiang Daheng was pushed and pushed up by several people, his face was still puzzled, and he asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

"The man said there was a bomb up front." Zhang Pingqiu pushed Jiang Daheng, his expression was also quite nervous, for the Chinese people who grew up in the era of peace, few people could be calm when they suddenly heard such news.

"What?!"

Jiang Daheng looked at the surrounding situation, and his face turned white for a moment.

This is not domestic, but there have been many terrorist attacks in Europe now.

On July 7 this year, the aftermath of the sensational 77 bombings in London had not yet passed, when a suicide bomb attack on three London tubes and a bus killed 52 passengers and injured more than 700.

That's why Finland has taken unprecedented security measures for the World Championships, in order to prevent accidents.

"You won't be delayed, will you?"

Several people got out of the car and found a café with a wall on the side of the road, waiting anxiously, Li Zhizhong watched the passage of time, and was slightly anxious.

"Probably not." Yuan Guohua on the side looked at his watch, it was not yet 18 o'clock, and the time for check-in was relatively sufficient.

"Coach, it should be fine."

Su Zu sat in his seat, recalling that there had never been a terrorist attack in a large-scale sports event in his memory, and gradually calmed down. At the same time, he softly comforted Li Zhizhong, who was a little anxious.

In fact, with this force majeure factor, the match at the Olympic Stadium would not have really started, after all, it is a very influential event. It's just that Li Zhizhong will be a little stimulated.

In his previous life and present life, Su Zu also experienced this kind of thing for the first time, and it felt like a movie, and only in this tense atmosphere would he really feel how good the country was.

The moon in a foreign country is not necessarily round!

Soon, the staff who had just gone to inquire about the situation had hurried back.

A false alarm.

It turned out that the Helsinki police received a secret report that a truck carrying explosives had entered Helsinki.

Soon, the road was defenced, and vehicles began to pass again.

However, after this trouble, several people in the car suddenly lost their interest in talking, and they were silent one by one.

Su Zu sat in his position, thinking about whether there had been a terrorist attack on a major sports event in his memory, and he didn't seem to have any, and gradually settled down.

Waiting for the bus to arrive at the Olympic Stadium for tonight's men's 100m semi-finals and final.
