Chapter 318: Not the End
"Sue! Sue! ……”
When Su Zu looked away from the big screen, he had already heard many people chanting his name at this time.
Countless media and journalists poured out of the media area on the sidelines, and almost every step he took, he was surrounded by spotlights and cameras.
All eyes were on him, and a new men's 100m world record was born.
Starting from the Oslo Golden League on June 2, Paris, France, Rome, Italy, to this battle between Zurich, Switzerland, and Subau, who can break the world record.
Finally, in this game, there is a result.
At this time, many spectators who watched the game at the scene had a feeling of great value for money and witnessing the legend.
The men's 100-meter world record, every hundredth of a second and a thousandth of a second forward, represents the continuous improvement of human limits, and at this moment, we are happening under our noses, we are witnesses and participants!
And the domestic audience who watched the game in front of the TV couldn't help but applaud after the results appeared.
Su Zu has set a new world record, and he has refreshed the world record he holds!
When Powell launched the competition this year, and when Powell equaled the world record at the Gateshead Grand Prix in England this year, Chinese who knew anything about it were all worried.
I was really afraid of the men's 100-meter record that Su Zu had just created, the world record that the Chinese people had so hard to have, and it was taken away in just a few months.
And now, although I dare not say that this heart has been completely put down, that strong, absolute confidence has been established.
It's rare to be able to break a world record once. The top athletes may only be once in a lifetime, and athletes like Isinbayeva who almost regard the women's pole vault record as their own prize money in various competitions are a handful of athletes after all.
Most athletes, even those who have won the Olympic and World Championships, may not have a record in their entire careers.
And some athletes who have not won too many honors may often have won a world record that can be remembered by history in a certain competition.
Su Zu was able to set a men's 100-meter world record, which was already an unimaginable result for most Chinese people, and at this moment, Su Zu actually refreshed his world record again.
withstood the pressure of his strongest rival, Asafa Powell, and set a new world record.
Almost subconsciously, many Chinese people who watched the game in front of the TV surged with pride in their hearts.
If you can break it once, then you can break it a second time, and then you can break through, and there is nothing to worry about.
Even if you can break it again, in the end, we will take it back!
Su Zu raised his head and looked at the Riet Chigren Stadium, and for a moment he only felt a little dizzy and in a trance, and applause and cheers seemed to fall from the sky.
And he seems to be in the middle of the stage, becoming the darling of thousands of audiences, the cheers around him, the fluttering flags, the crowding figures, everything, in the middle of it, as if everything is spinning, as if he is using the rotating picture seen by Steadicam.
Breaking the world record again, this time it feels the same as last time.
But there are also a lot of differences.
The same thing, the same excitement, the same excitement, the same boundless joy at this moment.
The difference is that the last time I broke the world record, I felt that I knew almost everything, and I felt that I had enough confidence even in the face of the Jamaican lightning after '08.
And this time it's different.
He really felt how powerful the top players of this era were.
Asafa Powell's achievements under his stimulation are almost unimaginable.
By the way, there's also Tyson Gay, who was amazing enough in this game.
Suzu's most impressive impression of Tyson Gay is from the 2007 World Championships and the 2009 Grand Prix at the Magic City, where he was regarded as the number one challenger for the Jamaican Lightning. And he, in this game, also showed absolutely strong strength.
Su Zu had more sense of urgency in his heart,
I was able to do it, and I was able to do it again.
But I'm not alone.
This world is turbulent, and talents are changing from generation to generation.
His world record was far from the limit.
What was also different was the atmosphere of the scene, the last time in Doha, although the atmosphere was also enthusiastic, it was far from being able to catch up with this time.
On the one hand, although Doha is rich, the sports atmosphere is much worse than the old European Zurich Golden League, and the audience is favored, the media hype, and the duel between Suzu and Powell for two consecutive months has completely separated the winner in this game.
Previously, although Su Zu won, there were all kinds of accidents in that result, and only in this game, here, was it really the highest level of performance of the two.
"Sue, congratulations!"
On the field, Powell walked over and hugged Su Zu lightly to congratulate him.
"Powell, you've been doing really well, it's a pleasure to be able to race you, I wouldn't have been able to do this without your presence."
Su Zu looked into Powell's eyes and said sincerely, this is the truth in his heart.
On the day I chose to sprint, I never imagined that I would be able to reach the highest stage, let alone set a world record.
But everything came.
Su Zu knows the world record very well this time, and that is because there are opponents, famous players like Asafa Powell, forcing him not to slack off, forcing him to put in 100% concentration, forcing him to play 100%, 200% in such a competition.
Asafa Powell, the name of the man, was the most important sprinter in Suzu's lifetime, even if he was not as resounding as the Jamaican lightning that would later come on.
Suzu doesn't remember how Asafa did at this stage in '06, but everyone can tell that Powell was at the peak of his entire career in '05 and '06.
From 9.77 seconds to 9.75 seconds, such a top player, Su Zu and him competed against each other for four times, and finally in this fourth race, the Zurich Golden League, won Powell, and the two broke the world record together.
This feeling is really indescribable!
Like Doha, that one was Justin Gatlin, and this one, it was Asafa Powell.
Defeating a strong opponent and setting a record, could there be a better moment for an athlete?!
Powell stood in the middle of the arena, smiled rarely, and after hugging Su Zu, shook hands again.
Respecting your opponent is actually respecting yourself.
Many of the cameras are now almost the same as the previous ones, and they are shooting this exciting moment at the same time.
Powell lost and finished second, but no one was going to take the Jamaican sprinter lightly.
Not to mention the ridicule and ridicule, 9.74 seconds, Asafa Powell also broke the world record, he just lost to Su Zu.
It is now clear to everyone in the world that Powell is the top sprinter in the world in athletics despite his defeat, which is an indisputable fact.
Even if Su Zu wins, it can be said that it is a very weak result, and in terms of absolute strength, the gap between the two is the closest.
Perhaps, with the addition of another banned American player, the strength of the three is now at the same level.
There are three people who can really run the 9.80 seconds mark today.
And in this game, in addition to Su Zu and Powell, many reporters also found new surprises!
After Justin Gatlin, another world-class American sprinter has risen.
Tyson Gay, who clocked 9.83 seconds, was an astonishing result that would have been enough to win the Olympic gold medal in the men's 100m two years ago.
Unlike Nigeria's Olusoki Fasuba, Orusoki-Fasuba only ran a brilliant time of 9.85 seconds, and although his own strength is good, he has not performed well in recent races.
Tyson Gay has proven himself to be one of the best in the 100m, with a time of 9.88 seconds at the Athens Grand Prix and 9.97 seconds at the Stockholm Grand Prix.
And his prowess in the 200m event is evident to all. The Lausanne Super Prix, the London Super Prix, Tyson Gay's 200m times were all amazing.
In 2006, the second year of his career, Tyson Gay had already drawn the world's attention to him in this shocking battle led by Suzu and Powell.
At this time, Tyson Gay looked at Su Zu, who was surrounded by countless reporters and staff in the middle of the runway, and watched Su Zu sit on the yellow chronograph board, and the electronic number of 9 seconds 73 was extremely eye-catching.
"0.1 seconds." Tyson Gay muttered silently in his heart.
This time, his time was 9.83 seconds, his personal best since running the men's 100 meters, a result that can definitely be won in any of the many races.
But here, it can only be third.
He was 0.1 seconds away from the world record, a moment he remembers very clearly.
"It's not impossible, is it, Tyson Gay?"
After seeing the results come out, he asked himself if he could achieve this result.
The answer is yes.
Tyson Gay knows he wants to be a champion and he wants a world record, but maybe not yet.
He's played really well this one, but it's not completely out of the way there's room for improvement, he's been training mostly on his own lately, so what if, I mean, there was a top coach in charge?
Thinking of this, Tyson Gay definitely became clearer and clearer about the road ahead.
He was unwilling, but it wasn't entirely about his own results, or the world record broken by Su Zu.
More than that, he regretted and chagrined that he had wasted a lot of time before.
If he had switched to the men's 100m earlier, he might have been able to go one step further? Even the 9.73 seconds mark is not out of reach.
Now, though, the game is over.
But the game has just begun.
Sue, Asafa Powell, our rivalry is just beginning now.
