“…… The second group of the men's semi-finals will start immediately...... The first was France's Martial Banjack, one of the few white athletes in athletics, who ran a personal best of 10.06 seconds in Albi in July.

The second is Davis Button, who made a splash at the U.S. Olympic Trials, and is now praying for something with his head down.

Kurandi Martina, one of the three athletes from the Netherlands Antilles at the 2004 Olympic Games, set a personal best of 9.97 seconds in the men's 100m semi-final yesterday, the first time he has run the 10-second mark......"

After the first group of the men's 100m semi-finals, the TV camera briefly left the field and was switched to the Olympic live broadcast room. By the time the scene switched back to the field again, the athletes in the second group of the semi-finals had already appeared on the track and field.

"Fourth, Su Zu ......" Yang Jian's voice was slightly raised when introducing the fourth athlete, "Su Zu was very relaxed in the preliminaries and semi-finals yesterday, and we hope that he will not feel too much pressure at the Bird's Nest Stadium today, and when facing the challenge of the current world's top sprinters, he can calm down and fully play his level."

Fifth, Asafa Powell, this year's Asafa Powell just broke the men's 60m world record at the World Indoor Championships, and even in such a turbulent sprint era, he still firmly occupies a place in the world sports arena, and we are looking forward to his performance for us.

In lane six, Justin Gatlin, the 2004 Olympic men's 100m champion, has maintained his good form since his comeback this year, and although he and Tyson Gay lost to Usain Bolt at the New York Grand Prix, he still set a personal best in that race. This is also a strong contender for the men's 100m title tonight.

Seventh, Richard Thompson of Trinidad and Tobago, Atlanta '96, his brother Bolton won the bronze medal in the 100m at the Atlanta Olympics, and he has a chance to continue that tradition. Thompson made it to the second round of the men's 100m at last year's World Championships in Osaka, but this year he also made a leap forward, setting a personal best of 6.51 seconds in the 60m race in Fayetteville in March and helping Trinidad and Tobago to gold in the 4×100m relay at the 2008 Central American and Caribbean Championships.

In lane eight, Francis Obikviru, the current European record holder, ran out of the men's 100m final at the 2004 Olympics and missed the final. In an interview with reporters before the game, he said that he would not make the same mistake again in the 08 Olympic Games......"

Before the starting line, Su Zu gently moved his neck, and did not wave his hands to greet all the spectators around him as usual, but the corners of his eyes swept slightly over the two of Asafa Powell and Justin Gatlin.

Justin Gatlin, in particular, is the second time the two have played together after a two-year absence.

In the check-in area, Justin Gatlin and Su Zu had a brief exchange, but on the eve of the competition, there was no too in-depth discussion.

In the 2006 Doha Super Grand Prix, Suzu broke the world record for the first time, that is, under the pressure of Justin Gatlin, he ran a world record of 9.75 seconds that surpassed Powell, and in that race, Gatlin also broke his personal best, equaling Powell's original world record of 9.77 seconds.

Later, after Gatlin was banned for 18 months, Tyson Gay rose to become the leader of America's new generation of sprinters.

Now, the men's 100m at the Olympics is an important stage for Gatlin to return to the world's top athletes.

In this group, because of Su Zu, Powell, and Gatlin, the competition is more fierce than the first group.

Two hours later, in the men's 100m final, there are only eight places, and the top four in each semi-final are promoted, and Su Zu, Powell and Gatlin are in one, although the game has not yet started, and it is not certain whether the three can necessarily advance, but almost everyone can imagine, these three people are in a group, and it is undoubtedly difficult to get a place to advance to the finals.

It can even be said that Richard Thompson, Obik Veru, Davis Barton and others are just competing for another spot outside of the three.

Of course, it's too early to say all of this, and only after crossing the finish line and looking at the top four will be the final result of this semi-final group stage.

"Su Zu, come on!"

"Su Zu, Su Zu!"

"China, come on!"

……

At the starting line, Su Zu could occasionally hear the excited cheering of the audience on the side closest to the runway, and even the "whoosh" sound of the castanets beating the beat from time to time came clearly into his ears.

That's what it's like to play on your home turf!

The entire audience in the stands seemed to support him, allowing him to give birth to infinite strength out of thin air, blood boiling, and passion.

But at the same time, it is also this heavy burden that will make many players overwhelmed.

However, for Su Zu, these are no longer things that make him lose his temper, from the beginning of his foot in the arena, he initially ran for himself, even if he later carried the expectations of many people, but he has been able to see a lot of things in two lives, coupled with six or seven years of career, one after another arena of tempering, now no matter what kind of game, what kind of opponent, he will not be afraid.

His heart was restless and calm, and the noise in his ears gradually dissolved into nothingness.

“On your marks！”

Before the starting line, a reminder is heard for the athletes to take their seats.

The noise and noise in the audience of 90,000 people gradually quieted down at this moment.

This match was also the second time since the 2004 Olympics that Suzu, Asafa Powell and Justin Gatlin competed together again, and at the 2005 World Championships in Helsinki, it was once thought that it would be the pinnacle of the trio, but unfortunately in that game, because Powell was absent due to injury, only Suzu and Gatlin completed the duel. Later, in 2006, Powell returned from injury, but Gatlin was suspended, and the three-man duel was repeatedly delayed.

Today in the imperial capital, in the Bird's Nest, on the track of the men's 100-meter semifinals, the three of them finally realized the agreement to compete and compete on the same stage. ”

In Yang Jian's commentary, many viewers in front of the TV watched the action of the three people squatting down in front of the runway, and those who knew a little about track and field remembered the media reports at that time.

Before the 2005 World Championships in Helsinki, Justin Gatlin was the 2004 Olympic champion, and Powell broke the men's 100m world record.

It wasn't until the World Championships in Helsinki that Suzu defeated Justin Gatlin to become the double champion of the men's 1200m, and established his status in the men's sprint in world athletics.

After that, the three-man battle that everyone thought would continue to be staged, and with Gatlin's ban, only six battles between Suzu and Powell in the Golden League remained.

Two years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the three of them met in advance in the semifinals of the men's 100m at the Olympic Games, which undoubtedly surprised people after years of overwhelming publicity.

“SET!”

Before the starting line, all eight runners were already squatting on the starting machine, and the starter began to shout the preparation password.

The audience waited with bated breath.

Syllable!

The starting gun sounds, and the game begins!

Su Zu and Powell started almost at the same time, the reaction speed of the two was between the two, and the starting technique was relatively close at a certain angle, and the powerful lower limb force suddenly exploded, pedaling on the runner, and in an instant, the whole person flew forward like a rocket.

Justin Gatlin's starting reflexes and acceleration from the start weren't the best, but his unique running style and strong hip delivery ability didn't affect his final result from a slight disadvantage at the start.

10 meters, 20 meters, 30 meters......

It is not easy to distinguish between the front and rear positions of the runners in the acceleration stage, whether it is the audience sitting in front of the scene or in front of the TV, at this time, because of the angle or the angle of the camera, you can only see the eight runners from the stage of stationary to the stage where the body is raised to the highest speed.

But at this time, the viewing angle of Yang Jian, the on-site commentator, was relatively clear, and he shouted in an instant: "...... At the start of the race, Suzu got off to a very fast start, and he was neck and neck with Powell......

The actual situation on the field is said to be neck and neck, but most of them are some of the commentators' prepared rhetoric, and the acceleration of the first twenty meters, although Su Zu is fast and fast, is still half a position behind Powell.

Asafa Powell, with the most perfect and best start on the planet, although his height is almost close to 190 with Su Zu, he is one of the few fastest starters in the world, and even when he is in good shape and play, it is almost difficult to have a particularly strong challenger.

Many runners at home and abroad, including Su Zu, Su Bingtian, Usain Bolt and other runners, have learned Powell's starting skills to a certain extent.

Suzu's start was also more mellow after 2007, although slightly weaker than Powell in the first 20 meters, but the gap was limited, and when the distance reached 30 meters, the slight gap between Suzu and Powell was almost at the end of the acceleration run, and even exceeded some.

After all, it was the semi-finals, and although Su Zu was serious enough about this semi-final, he did not play 100% either, slightly surpassing Powell in the 30-meter position and began to lead the whole group.

Closely followed by Suzu and Powell are Richard Thompson, Kurandi Martina, Davis Barton and Justin Gatlin, who are clenching each other by a position to a half-position.

Of the four, Richard Thompson, Kurandi Martina, and Davis Barton are the most competitive, almost at full speed, and in such a semi-final death group, it is impossible to say that they want to advance.

Justin Gatling, although measured from a horizontal line at the moment, is relatively backward, but the huge stride is increasing his speed to the extreme with the acceleration distance.

Forty meters, fifty meters, sixty meters......

Almost 40 meters later, entering the high-speed stage of the race, Suzu overtook Asafa Powell and ran to the first position. Although he participated in few competitions in 2008, he has not been slack off and idle in the year since the World Championships in Osaka last year.

He has been training at the Hagen training base since October last year, and has been preparing for the Olympics since 2008.

From his individual 1,200m event to his team's 4×100m relay, Suzu has almost returned to the days before the 2004 Olympics.

And at the New York Grand Prix on May 31, the news that Bolt broke his world record came, and he spent almost all these times trying to maximize himself without injury, except for some delays for the ignition ceremony of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

This is also Su Zu's consistent way of growth training, replaced by athletes who train by competition, may not compete for a long time, but training will be slack and psychological fatigue, which will lead to a decline in performance.

And Su Zu has always been known for his training, and the assistance of the system allows him to clearly see his improvement, even if the attributes or potential values are getting less and less since the World Championships in Osaka, but only with a slight improvement, he can continue to practice.

Asafa Powell, who was in the fifth realm, unconsciously swept the corner of his eyes when he felt that the fourth realm Su Zu had surpassed him, but he quickly retracted it.

Treating his 100-meter race as if he were alone in a dark tunnel is a thought that Powell keeps reinforcing in his mind.

If you don't look at it, don't think about it, you think you're running alone.

Although it is difficult for players to avoid the influence of other opponents in actual matches, Powell has gradually been able to adapt to this method after strengthening over and over again.

He could feel the footsteps of Justin Gatlin approaching in the sixth lane next to him, but he didn't pay as much attention as he did in the past.

Focus on the race in front of you and aim for the finish line!

Justin Gatlin has always been firmly locked on the guys in front of him, and a runner like him never slacks off because he has a slow start, and only if he doesn't cross the finish line, the race is still not decided.

The strong desire to win pushes his stride and cadence to increase rapidly, entering the highest speed.

Forty meters later, he had caught up with his teammate Davis Barton, fifty meters he began to overtake Kurandi Martina, and sixty meters Justin Gatlin was already close to Richard Thompson by this time and began to approach Asafa Powell.

In the second group of this semi-final, for other players, Su Zu, Powell, and Justin Gatlin are certainly terrifyingly strong, but the three of them dare not relax easily, after all, there are only four places in the group.

Seventy meters, eighty meters, ninety meters......

Trinidad and Tobago's Richard Thompson in lane 7 is feeling the pressure like never before, Suzu in lane 4 and Asafa Powell in lane 5 are clearly ahead from 40 metres onwards, and even he can feel it in lane 7 after 50 metres.

And by the sixty-metre position, Justin Gatlin was starting to pull in.

Anyone who has watched Justin Gatlin races knows very well that in Justin Gatlin's career races, especially in the big races, there are very few times when he is leading at the start, and most of the time he just doesn't fall too far behind or can stabilize the top three.

He's always been the type to finish his opponents in the second half of the game. He's the same as Carl Lewis, when you watch the race, maybe in the first half of the race, maybe in the first 50 meters, you can't notice him, you can't see him in the lead, he doesn't run up and the posture he runs up like Tyson Gay and Asafa Powell, but at the end of the moment you cross the finish line, you notice such a runner, I don't know when he has run to the front, a nod to cross the line to get first.

At this time, the scene on the field is like this, after 50 meters, Su Zu and Powell have gradually run out of the entire camp of players, with obvious advantages, only Richard Thompson can follow closely, and after 70 meters and 80 meters, the first three people who run are Su Zu, Powell and Gatlin, when it comes to 90 meters, Su Zu's lead is still there, and Gatlin is almost in the same position as Powell.

The last 10 meters, 5 meters............

Su Zu crossed the finish line first.

Before crossing the finish line, Suzu glanced sideways at Powell and Gatling on the right, and there was already a clear movement.

Powell almost began to take the last two steps when Suzu was in the water, while Gatlin maintained the rhythm of running at this time, and in the last few meters, he overtook Powell, and the second followed Suzu to cross the finish line.

“…… Su Zu led Powell, Su Zu ran in the first position, Su Zu, Su Zu, okay!! Su Zu won the first place in the group!! ”

The audience in front of the TV heard Yang Jian's excited voice at the moment when Su Zu crossed the finish line, "9.81 seconds, the quality of this group of semi-finals is really frightening, even the second-place Gatlin is better than Bolt in the first group." ”

On the big screen at the scene, the top four of the second group of the men's 100m semifinals also played out at this time:

1. Fourth lane, Su Zu, China, reaction 0.146 seconds, score 9.81 seconds;

2. Sixth lane, Justin Gatlin, USA, reaction 0.155, time 9.84;

3. Fifth lane, Asafa Powell, Jamaica, reaction 0.139, time 9.86;

4. Seventh lane, Richard Thompson, Trinidad and Tobago, reaction 0.142, time 9.90;
