“…… Okay, friends and spectators, the semi-finals of the men's 100m at the World Championships in Osaka will begin soon, and eight athletes are already standing on the starting line. The second is 2003 world champion Kim Collins, who has not been in great shape this year after suffering an injury in 2006.

Third, Japan's Nobuharu Asahara, who also experienced a trough in 2006, and this comeback we also want to see what kind of results he can achieve in this World Championships as the second fastest in the men's 100m in Asia.

In the fourth lane, Asafa Powell, one of the fastest men in the world in the 100m, said before the race that he wants the gold medal more than anyone else.

The fifth, Su Zu. This is the second time that Suzu and Asafa Powell have been on the same stage since the Rome Golden League, and hopefully he can perform well and fully demonstrate his current world No. 1 sprinting prowess.

Sixth Moral Rick Atkins, the '84-year-old sprinter, has been in impressive form this year, setting a new Bahamas national record in April with a time of 9.98 seconds, and he has also run 9.86 seconds and 9.83 seconds in excess of wind speeds, and this World Championships will be the best stage for him to show his quality.

Britain's Craig Pickering, an 86-year-old white athlete who won a silver medal at the 2007 European Athletics Indoor World Championships, is seen as a strong contender for veteran British star Mark Lewis Francis.

The eighth path, from ...... Brendan Christian of Antigua and Barbuda, a bronze medalist in the 100m and 200m at this year's Pan American Games, was also an athlete by his father, who competed in cycling at the 1976 Montreal Olympics.

In the ninth lane, Slovenian veteran Madik Osovnikar, the veteran is already participating in the World Athletics Championships for the third time.

We are expecting the best performance from all the athletes, okay, the on-site referee has given the command to prepare, and the athletes are walking on the starting ......"

As the minutes passed, the audience in front of the TV at the moment could clearly feel the tense atmosphere of the upcoming competition.

Many viewers sitting in front of the TV couldn't help but sit up straight, their necks poking out slightly. There are also many viewers who were about to get up in front of the TV, but at this time, as if they had been petrified, staring at the TV screen motionless.

In Nagai Stadium, tens of thousands of spectators were excited compared to the hot weather.

As the game approached, the noise in the entire arena gradually subsided, but the frenzied enthusiasm that lingered in everyone's chests and was about to erupt continued to spread.

“On your marks！”

On the field, when Su Zu heard the prompt password from the starter on the sidelines, he took a slight breath and looked straight at the finish line, just like he had done countless times when he stood on the track.

The finish line, the desire to win, that's what a competitive athlete does to constantly pursue and surpass.

Just as a rich man does not dislike too much money, an athlete at the top of his life will never dislike having too many championships. As long as you can, as long as you are in good shape, every player who can stand on the track of the semi-finals or finals has such a strong desire.

Now in the first group of the semi-finals, some of the six players on the field can recognize their level of ability, and the ultimate goal is only to be able to qualify from the group and reach the final.

And some other players, even in the face of Suzu, Powell, and Guy, the three top athletes, are not without ideas.

At this time, Derek Atkins, who was standing in the sixth lane, swept the corner of his eye from time to time to Suzu and Asafa Powell at the moment when the voice of the starter was in place.

The in-form Bahamian athlete has only made his debut on the big stage this year, but his 100m form has been impressive, comparable to that of Tyson Gay in 2006.

At this time, in the eyes of Derek Atkins, even Suzu and Powell are not unsurpassable for him, after all, he is also one of the few players who have won against Suzu and Powell this year.

And Powell, who was standing on the fourth lane on Su Zu's left hand, looked much calmer than in the previous game. From the beginning of standing on the runway, he neither ran around anxiously nor moved his body anymore, but just stood there lazily. It wasn't until the signal of the starters sounded that he suddenly became energetic.

It seems that in Powell's eyes, Suzu does not exist, Derrick Atkins does not exist, and the other players do not exist.

That feeling was a little strange to Su Zu, and in the past month, Powell's mentality seemed to have changed a lot that he hadn't expected.

There is no anxiety and tension, only calm and concentration on the face.

Such an opponent...... Su Zu felt that his body was completely excited!

Despite the fact that it was the semi-finals, and despite knowing that everyone would definitely have reservations in order to prepare for the final in two hours, he was still looking forward to fighting with Asafa Powell again and again.

With both feet on the starting gear, Su Zu felt the most suitable position for the soles of the spikes to fall on the starting gear pedal, which was a very solid and powerful feeling.

As soon as your feet are on the starting block, your body muscles and inner emotions are all in the state you were in before the race.

Fiery, excited, high-spirited!

“SET！”

On the starting line, eight runners exhaled and changed from a squat to a half-squat.

The audience seemed to forget to speak, applaud and cheer, all staring at the starting line, holding their breath!

As the most watched event in track and field, the men's 100m race, even if it is only a semi-final, is more worthy of people's expectations than many finals that can compete for gold and silver.

Syllable!

“…… It's ...... game start! ”

Yang Jian, who was sitting in the media broadcast seat, suddenly screamed loudly the moment the gunshot rang out.

On the starting line, Asafa Powell had his eyes firmly fixed on the final finish line, and the moment the gun rang out, Powell quickly kicked and stretched his legs and began to accelerate.

On the other side, Derek Atkins also burst out with muscle strength all over his body, and the start was extremely fast.

In the semi-finals of this group, his main opponents were only Powell and Atkins, and at this moment, his starting speed was also increased to the extreme.

The body and the track tend to be a perpendicular to the run, which allows him to save more energy, while the explosive running style like Tyson Gay shows a slight pendulum clock at the moment of start, and the starting point of the left and right feet is not to run straight forward and accelerate, but to have an obvious acceleration action that takes a quick step to the left and right to enhance the impact of the body.

There are no advantages or disadvantages in the action running style, and the right is the first thing, but at this time, although Su Zu's technical movements tend to be close to Powell, they are faster and more fierce than him when he runs.

The soles of the feet are in full contact with the ground, and each step is powerful, and in an instant, the three players in the middle four, five or six lanes become the focus of everyone.

Su Zu has changed his rhythm and stride since the beginning of this year, and often the most headache for him is the acceleration of a few steps before the start, and he often can't control a perfect rhythm and stride.

And after last month's Paris Golden League, he has become more and more comfortable with this kind of running.

Step together, as fast as a rabbit. As soon as the first twenty meters passed, among the three people who were neck and neck, Su Zu ran out of half a body advantage.

And behind Su Zu, Asafa Powell, clenched his teeth, spread his five fingers, and swung his arms quickly, seemingly completely unaffected by Su Zu's running.

Powell lost many games, often not to lose to the opponent, but if he has been leading suddenly overtaken, he will panic, psychological pressure will increase sharply, and then affect the coordination of the body when running, and miss the opportunity to win the gold medal.

And this time, Powell showed a completely different state.

Even though...... Even if he is falling behind at the moment......

His expression was still calm, and he didn't look left or right at all, his eyes were firm, and he didn't hesitate!

"Asafa Powell, you have to run on the track like you're running in a tunnel. Whether you're ahead or behind, forget about what's happening on the other tracks and concentrate on running. Only then will you be able to bring out the full amount of talent that your body possesses. The 100-meter race is more about fighting yourself than your opponents. ”

The words are still in his ears, Powell has forgotten all the players around him at this time, he is accelerating!
