Chapter 338: Defeat and Public Opinion Reversal
Syllable!
Match guns rang out.
In an instant, the nine players shot out like arrows off the string.
The Nagai Stadium, which had just quieted down, instantly lit up, and all kinds of cheering exclamations mixed with Japanese and English sounded at the same time.
"Oops, Su Zu has a problem with his start."
On the sidelines, Zhang Pingqiu could see at a glance that Su Zu's starting action seemed to be a little wrong, and it seemed to be a little slower than the player next to him.
The knowledgeable audience at the scene and several commentators from Japan's NHK TV station at this time also clearly saw that Su Zu's starting acceleration did not seem to be so smooth.
Li Zhizhong's face sank like water, and it seemed that he had already expected such an abnormal situation in Su Zu.
The movements on the field are changing rapidly, and a starting reaction and unsmooth acceleration from the start will cause lag behind.
The first thirty meters of acceleration passed in a flash, and Su Zu, there was no doubt that he was behind.
Phewβ
Bursts of exclamations of exclamation unconsciously came out of the mouths of the audience, and gradually converged into the appearance of a giant sighing loudly.
For the people of Osaka in Nagai Stadium, many track and field enthusiasts have seen Suzu compete in this stadium, except for Suzu who did not come because he participated in the Doha Super Grand Prix last year, and Suzu even won Justin Gatlin and Morris Green here in the previous International Star Invitational Tournament, establishing his status as the world's top sprinter.
And now, whether Wulun watched the game on the spot, or once watched the game on TV, this was the first time in their memory that Su Zu was thrown so far away in the first thirty meters.
ββ¦β¦ At the start of the race, Tsukahara-kun's start was very good, ah, no, Su Zujun's movements were problematic, and now the runner in first place was Bahamian player Derek Atkins......" The NHK TV commentator shouted hysterically.
On the field, Su Zu has been calculating his stride length since the start, but after three steps from the start, he felt that something was wrong.
There seemed to be a flash of inspiration in his mind, just three steps into the start, and his stride seemed too large, a little different from his usual training and the constant imagination in his mind.
The starting stride is too large, and the result must be that the acceleration is too slow, and his current stride is due to the deliberate adjustment of his brain, not according to the original rhythm, at this moment, the stride length of the first three steps greatly exceeds that of the other runners, and it also causes his speed to rise much slower than others.
Although Li Zhizhong on the sidelines looked calm, he could see at a glance what Su Zu's problem was at the moment, but he was mentally prepared for this result early in the morning, and he could only watch Su Zu's on-the-spot adjustment.
At this time, Zhang Pingqiu also seemed to understand that Su Zu's starting stride was too large, causing him to run at a completely different pace than before, and it looked a bit like he was disrupted by the Bahamian player Derek Atkins and Nigeria's Olusoki Fasuba next to him.
There is an obvious sluggishness, in terms of literal expression, that is, Su Zu, who was originally extremely familiar with the track of the arena, suddenly ran a little jerky, like a player who has not been on the field for a long time. It's like a toddler compared to an adult.
At this time, in the field, except for Su Zu and his team members, everyone else didn't know what happened to Su Zu for a while.
Even several Japanese commentators and spectators were wondering if it was because Su Zu was too tired from the men's 200-meter race.
But these thoughts were only fleeting, and the competition continued, and the speed of the players on the scene was like lightning.
Forty meters, fifty meters, sixty meters......
The speed of the players is picking up.
Su Zu had completely calmed down at this time, and there were no distractions.
He didn't think about the finish line, nor did he want to surpass others, but he calculated the rhythm that he was going to gradually form his body memory and used it smoothly in this race.
Immediately after, the audience suddenly erupted in a burst of enthusiastic cheers!
Starting from forty meters, Su Zu seemed to have regained his rhythm in an instant and began to speed up rapidly.
Because he started with too long a stride, he had to run a little slower than the other runners on the way to top speed.
In the 100 meters, the runners with a low pace and fast pace are often able to enter the stage of the highest absolute speed in the first 20 meters, while Su Zu at this time is at a disadvantage at this stage because of the large acceleration stride in front of him, which causes the contact time between the soles of the feet and the ground to be too long, and the force required is increased, so he is completely at a disadvantage at the stage of acceleration running.
But after forty meters, it seemed that Su Zu had found the rhythm of running and began to accelerate.
The entire acceleration phase was greatly lengthened by him, and when he reached fifty meters, he could be regarded as entering the high-speed stage of running on the way.
At this time on the field, the Osaka audience saw a scene that had not been seen for a long time, a lagging player, rushing to the middle of the range with a terrifyingly powerful absolute speed and starting to exert force.
60 meters, 70 meters, 80 meters......
Su Zu reached the highest speed stage of absolute speed, and the running Asahara, Marlon Devenish, and Madik-Osovnikar only suddenly felt a gust of wind chasing after him.
Buzz β
There seemed to be a roar of an engine, and a roar of a storm as it passed, and a figure had leapt from behind them to the front.
Ninth's Naoki Tsukahara, Japan's up-and-coming sprinter, started off feeling little because of the distance from the track, and his goal was still to chase Derek Atkins, Russoki Fasuba and Richard Thompson ahead.
He had done detailed homework before the game, except for Su Zu, although the other players were veterans, but in terms of personal strength and physical condition, they may not be as fast as these people.
As a result, as he expected, Derek Atkins, Russoki Fasuba and Richard Thompson occupied the top three.
It's just that Su Zu ...... Su Zu seemed to be lagging behind.
And, just as he reacted to his thoughts, he suddenly felt a figure approaching quickly in the corner of his eye, and then January, past him, chased after the three people in front of him.
ββ¦β¦ Su Zu caught up, as fast as lightning, Su Zu, Su Zu ......" The commentary voice at the scene was almost crazy.
In the moments before the nine runners crossed the finish line, the results on the timer were once again in the spotlight.
10.01 seconds!
Winner of the Osaka Grand Prix in the men's 100m.
And the winner of this game is......
On the big screen at the scene, the results of nine players appeared at this time, and the first one was ...... Bahamas' Derek Atkins.
Inside Nagai Stadium, it was quiet for a while!
A sigh seemed to whistle like the passing wind.
Derek Atkins crossed the finish line first with a time of 10.01 seconds, while Suzu was second with a time of 10.03 seconds.
Third place went to Nigeria's Orusoki Fasuba, and fourth place went to Trinidad and Tobago Richard Thompson, who clocked 10.09 and 10.11 seconds.
And at this moment, Derek Atkins jumped almost half a meter high in the same place, with a smile on his face that he could almost see the back molars, and he spread his son and ran around the runway.
Although the time of this race did not reach the 10-second mark, he won the world championship and won the current men's 100m world record holder, and the excitement of this excitement, as a sprinter with little previous experience in major competitions, the shock, the excitement is almost indescribable!
Before the finish line, the media that had been squatting for a long time also rushed into the media area outside the stadium, flashing magnesium lights, and taking pictures of the athletes on the field.
Derek Atkins is undoubtedly surrounded by a large number of journalists, he is the winner of the Osaka Grand Prix, and Suzu is also surrounded by a number of reporters who are taking pictures of him.
NHK and TV Asahi, as well as some reporters from European and American media, have been almost inseparable from Su Zu since the end of the game. Everyone wanted to capture a little bit of frustration and loss in his eyes.
The current men's 100m world record holder lost to an unknown Bahamian youngster, does this feeling make Su Zu have some unusual expressions.
Excited, annoyed, sad, angry, angry, even scolding, if there is, then it is ideal.
Our sales and ratings can be built on your pain.
However, these journalists were doomed to disappointment.
Su Zu stood in front of the finish line at this time, just glanced at the results on the big screen, and soon stood in front of the finish line and looked at the 100-meter runway, with no frustration on his face, and no other expression could be seen.
He's just savoring the rhythm of the race.
"There are still a lot of things that have not been done well, and the body's muscle memory is too difficult to change."
Su Zu sighed lightly, there is still a way to go after changing his rhythm in his daily training, and officially soaking this change into the bone marrow in the competition.
On this trip, he should have only taken 42 steps, maybe even 41 steps.
The stride in front of him was too long, which led to the slow speed of the acceleration phase, and then the rhythm was out of order, and it was not until he passed 50 meters, and he found a little sense of running rhythm after a distance of nearly 60 meters.
"Sue, can you tell us about your performance in this game?"
"We saw that you were significantly behind in the first half of the race, is it because you just finished the 200m race?"
"Sue, the difference between your performance this time and last year's performance is very significant, have you changed your skills?"
"Sue, you broke the world record in the first race of last year's season, and the first race of this year's new season seems to be unsatisfactory, can you talk about it?"
Su Zu frowned slightly as he looked at the reporters who rushed out instantly, blocking the content that he was reminiscing about what needed to be adjusted just after running a hundred meters.
He was in no mood to pay attention at this time, squeezed away the reporters who surrounded him, and walked directly towards the direction of the stadium corridor.
In the eyes of reporters, Su Zu's silence and frowning expressions when he left seemed to indicate that he was not satisfied with the result of this game.
The next day, many media reports appeared about the result of the Osaka Grand Prix.
In the current competition in which Su Zu participated, it is basically impossible for the international sports news media to miss the past, after all, he is the men's 100-meter world record holder, the fastest runner in the world, and his every move undoubtedly attracts the attention of countless people.
The mainstream performance of Su Zu is quite fair, after all, he has just run 200 meters, setting a new personal best and Asian record. Then I went to run 100 meters, which is understandable. However, in some small newspapers and magazines in Europe and the United States, eye-catching noises are naturally unavoidable.
Regarding Su Zu's loss in the 100 meters of the Osaka Grand Prix, many people began to write, and it was obvious that Su Zu was making a series of adjustments.
Li Zhizhong's interview speech also showed that Su Zu is now optimizing his stride and rhythm in order to improve again and break the current personal best.
But as time went by, gradually some public opinion outside began to change a little.
Especially in June, in the two races of the Grand Prix in New York on June 2 and the Eugene Grand Prix on June 10, Suzu failed to win the championship while only participating in the men's 100m event, and was relegated to second and fourth place respectively, with a time of 10.01 and 10.08 seconds respectively, losing to Tyson Gay, Asafa Powell, Leonard Scott, and Walter Dix.
Su Zu failed to run under 10 seconds in three consecutive Grand Prix, which made the public opinion of many European and American media turn around, and even many domestic media followed suit and began to report.
Some newspapers and magazines that are not yet mainstream even published some expert remarks that are right and wrong, and blatantly began to criticize Su Zu's performance in 2006 as extremely abnormal, and the IAAF should test Su Zu's previous urine test samples again.
Some media outlets have also taken the previous IAAF's official statement on drug testing at the 2007 World Championships to the end of the matter, concocting some of the banned drugs that the IAAF is testing for Su Zu, and that the IAAF has tangible evidence.
The reason for this is intriguing, it is nothing more than the speed of Su Zu's rise too fast, and in 2006, there were media conferences in which reporters described it as being born out of thin air, but they didn't care about Su Zu's previous achievements.
And in 2006, Su Zu's light was too shining, and he broke the men's 100-meter world record three times, even if he stood on a neutral standpoint, he would feel incredible when he was guided by some specious public opinion in the media.
The success of the yellow race in the sprint event is too unique and too unbelievable.
Especially like Su Zu, who was watched by thousands of eyes, and encountered some unsatisfactory competitions, the voices of singing and questioning came out one after another.
What is the number one public enemy of athletics? That's it!
You are the number one in the world, you are a yellow race, the Chinese have done something impossible, there must be something unusual in this.
As for where...... Go without saying!
"Su Zu, the strongest biological weapon!" γ
"The Crystallization of China's 'Science and Technology' Products"
"New Achievements in Biopharmaceuticals"
"The World Record Holder for "Revealing the Original Form"
β¦β¦
Many European and American media, and even the "public knowledge" groups in China that have not yet been on the street at this time, have appeared on the Internet and print media one after another some sensational headline reports.
As for Su Zu, in the men's 200m race at the Osaka Grand Prix, he set a new personal best and an Asian record. Hehe, what is that, invisible!
Walter Dix, a rising sprinter in the United States this year, said wildly in an interview with reporters after winning Suzu by 0.03 seconds in Eugene: "I don't know if the other sprinters were in a daze during the race before, and they all lost to a Chinese in the 100 meters." β
Even the discerning person can clearly see that although Su Zu's performance in the 100-meter event has dropped significantly, and he has not even run into the 10-second mark this year, he has always been within 10.10 seconds, which is not bad in any case.
Last year, Tyson Gay won the National Track and Field Championships with a time of 10.0 seconds, and Sean Crawford, the 200m champion at the '04 Athens Olympics, even slipped outside 10.30 seconds in the 100 meters. The ups and downs of a whole bunch of other sprinters are normal.
And when it comes to Su Zu, the top player in the current sprint event, everything has become a bit of a conspiracy theory.
Because his results in 2005 and 2006 were so impressive, he won all the men's 100m events and broke three world records a year.
Su Zu's competition, technical movements, running skills, and even the quality of physical fitness and strength in all aspects have not been analyzed by many people in the world athletics community, including the United States.
Su Zu is too strong, and his grades are terrifyingly stable, as long as his grades enter a new stage, there are basically very few who fall again. And in addition to the physical thought, there is also an amazing psychological quality, the bigger the scene, the more you can explode in the face of challenges.
Such a runner is a little overwhelmed by him in the current sprinting world in the United States and even in the world.
And now, he's made a mistake, regardless of the reason...... Ideological things, then, should be followed to add to the fire.
Public opinion is pressing!
