September 1, the first day of the 16th Asian Championships.

The entire Asian Athletics Championships is only four days, with a total of more than 40 events, from the preliminaries to the finals, each event has several rounds, and the schedule is relatively dense, but due to the number of participating athletes, it is not too tight.

Although more than 1,000 athletes from various countries arrived in Incheon on the surface, there were not so many athletes in the stadium, and there were only 500 or 600 athletes. A large part of it is also from Asia or South Korea.

At 17 o'clock in the afternoon, Su Zu appeared at Wenhe Stadium.

The men's 100m is divided into three rounds, the first round of preliminaries starts at 17 pm on September 1, the semi-finals of the second round start at 19 pm, and the third round of the final at 20 pm on September 2.

And when Su Zu appeared at Wenhe Stadium, the atmosphere at the scene instantly became warm.

The biggest superstar of this Asian Championships is on the stage, and countless spectators want to see the performance of the legendary athlete who can break the racial gap and achieve the double World Championship championship.

South Korea has not had an advantage in the track and field sprint event, and it is also in the middle and lower reaches of Asia. At the 1982 Asian Games in New Delhi, South Koreans won silver in the men's 100m sprint, the best result ever. South Korea's best finish in the men's 4x100m relay was a bronze medal at the 1986 Asian Games in Seoul.

In later generations, it was not until Kim Guoying, known as the Korean sprint genius, appeared that he broke the Korean national record 5 times and improved the Korean men's 100m score from 10.34 seconds to 10.07 seconds, which was considered to have slightly kept up with the level of Asian sprinting.

On the evening of June 27, 2017, at the Korea International Athletics Open held in Jeongseon, Gangwon Province, 26-year-old Kim Guoying won the championship in 10.07 seconds and became the first player in South Korea's history to reach the men's 100-meter standard at the World Championships.

At this time, the best sprinters in South Korea, Choi Jiong, Lin Xinan and others are basically at the level of first-class athletes and athletes in China.

A total of 26 athletes participated in the men's 100m at the Asian Championships, divided into four preliminary groups, two of which added lane 9. The top three players from each group advance directly to the next semi-finals, and the remaining four spots are filled by the four athletes with the best results in the group.

Su Zu was in the fourth lane of the second group in the preliminaries, and there were other players such as Wang Jiajun from HK in the same group. When Su Zu participated in the Asian Championships in 2003, he also crossed paths with many athletes. But just two years have passed, Chen Jian has retired, Kazakhstan's Cherovov will also participate in the future, and many people on the track and field have changed.

The sprinters who were once born in the 70s have begun to fade out now, and the whole sports world has entered the era of post-80s athletes. In particular, the age group of 80-85 is the age group in which the top players in Asia or the world are mainly located.

Su Zu ran very easily in the preliminaries, basically did not exert much force, when the warm-up was running, and finally put three or four meters, the result was 10.25 seconds, and he successfully entered the semi-finals with the first place in the preliminaries group.

In addition to Su Zu, there are two other domestic sprint veterans who entered the semifinals, Gao Fan and Liu Peng, who scored 10.60 seconds and 10.67 seconds.

Second place in the preliminary group was Qatar's Khalid Al-Obeiri with a time of 10.40 seconds, while Japan's Shingo Sueji and Nobuharu Asahara, who ran 10.45 seconds and 10.51 seconds in the preliminaries, finished third and fifth in the group respectively to reach the semi-finals.

In the end, 16th place went to the semi-finals of Pakistan's Mamat Imran with a time of 10.72 seconds.

Although it is a preliminaries, many athletes have reservations, but from these results, it can be basically seen that there is a huge gap between the current Asian sprinting level and the world sprinting level.

At this time, beside the arena, many spectators from China, Japan, South Korea and other countries who came to Su Zu to watch the game, only in this preliminaries, saw that Su Zu was at a crushing level of strength.

The South Korean audience who watched the game could only sigh countless times at their own country's players Choi Jiong and Lin Xinan, who scored 10.81 seconds and 10.82 seconds, ranking 18th and 19th, and failed to even enter the semifinals.

This absolute difference in strength, if you want to use some "strategies", you have no chance.

Among the current Asian sprinters, apart from Su Zu, the two Japanese stars Nobuji Asahara, and Shingo Suejo, as well as Qatar's Khalid Al-Baberi and Saudi Arabia's Mubarak al-Yami, are at the top of the competition.

The other runners, including two Chinese sprinters, are at the threshold of the athlete class. If you really run, you may not be able to outrun the boys of the newly selected relay team.

However, the veteran players are still qualified, and the state and performance of the newcomers are also unstable, unless they win Chen Jian, Shen Yunbao, Yang Guangzong and others in various competitions like Su Zu at the beginning, otherwise it will take a while to prove themselves in various individual events.

At 7 p.m., the men's 100m semifinals.

Su Zu was placed in the second group of the semifinals, and in this group of semifinals, Su Zu was a little more serious.

His current state is not the best, several negative attributes have reduced his overall attribute data by about 1%, but in the Asian Championships, he is already an invincible existence, and he has completely swept the past.

After the semi-finals, the time of 10.15 seconds came out, which still made the athletes from other countries desperate. This time was 0.21 seconds faster than the group runner-up, Khaled Obeuri, who had a semifinal time of 10.36 seconds.

South Korea's YTN TV broadcast the men's 100 preliminaries and semifinals live, and the commentator shouted in an almost worshipful tone, "Suzu Smecta is so relaxed, he is unfair to all other players in Asia in this arena." He tore the Korean 100-meter record to shreds by running like a walk, and I sincerely hope that he would be good if he were us Koreans. ”

Almost instantly, a wave of discussion was formed in Korean newspapers and on the Internet.

In 2005, South Korea had achieved the basic popularization of 100 megabit broadband access, and the popularity of Internet surfing was completely different from that in China at this time.

All kinds of water posts, deep pickpockets, and analysis stickers are released one by one, and Su Zu has just won the double championship of the World Championships at the front time, and a small circle has begun to discuss, and when the champion arrived in South Korea to start the competition, everyone found that the huge gap between each other is almost impossible to surpass.

In a real sense, I saw the level of the top sprinters. In the words of some netizens, running 100 meters is to make him 40 meters, and it is impossible to outrun the other party.

In various analysis posts, from Su Zu's height, to blood type, to running movements, and eating habits. What was the result of the 2003 Asian Championships, and two years later it has grown into the current world flyer.

In the end, the achievements and influence of Su Zu, who have begun to crook the building, surpass Park Tae-sung, the most popular football player in South Korea.

Most of the local Koreans are backing Park Tae-sung, who is the current Asian football brother, a key figure in helping South Korea reach the semi-finals in 2002, and returned to Manchester United for £4 million this summer, making him the most capable athlete in South Korea at the moment.

Posts about all kinds of football, which are more influential than athletics and sprints, have jumped out, and a few sane posts have been drowned out in strong nationalism.

At the same time, some Korean professors also began to analyze and discuss in depth, starting from Su Zu's hometown of Ronghai Province, explaining that several sea merchants in the late Ming Dynasty were Ronghai people, and a large number of sailors were recruited from South Korea, and later these sailors stayed in Ronghai Province, took root and became part of the local people. And Su Zu is likely to have Korean ancestry and has the super physical fitness of Korean mountain people.

In addition, when the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Circle was in place, a servant army from South Korea entered Ronghai Province and later stayed there, according to research, this location is Su Zu's hometown Wuxing County, Ronghai Province.

All kinds of messy news continued to brew and spread after the men's 100m preliminaries and semifinals of the Asian Championships on the first day.

In an interview before the game the next day, when asked by several South Korean reporters if he would feel pressure to tie him with Park Ji-sung, Su Zu began to wave his hand and modestly said that the project was different and there would be no pressure.

When asked again, you might be a Korean, Su Zu was already a little speechless.

He really didn't expect that he would be fortunate enough to be a member of the "Korean" together with the ancients such as Confucius, Xi Shi, Li Bai, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Li Shizhen.
