"A certain wave of sports news, Su Zu broke the record again, raising the national men's 200 meters and Asian men's 200 meters records to an amazing result of 19.96 seconds, which is Su Zu after breaking the 10-second mark in the 100 meters, and breaking the 20-second mark in the 200 meters again......"

"Olympic success, the nearly 17-year-old sprinter once again won a valuable silver medal......"

“…… In the face of the three American celebrities, China's Su Zu still won the silver medal in the men's 200m with his extraordinary strength, which is also the first Asian athlete to win in the men's 1200m event. ”

“…… Sprint talent amazes Athens, gold medal in four years to look forward to ......"

On August 28, with various media reports on last night's men's 200m event, an article titled "Spring in Athletics" appeared on the front page of the People's Daily, with a picture of Su Zu standing in front of the starting line and leaning over and looking up.

"Athletics, known as the mother of sports, is also the largest event in the modern Olympic Games, including walking, running, jumping, and throwing, which almost covers the most basic human sports. A country's track and field achievements can intuitively reflect the general physical fitness of the country's people. ”

China's track and field events have always been at a disadvantage compared to table tennis, diving, design, swimming and other events, and like other Asian countries, it has been difficult to see our own athletes in high-level world track and field competitions.

But now there are gratifying changes, for example, in the men's sprint event at this Olympics, even Japan, the strongest track and field team in Asia, has never had an athlete break into the final and win a medal, and our athlete has made a historic breakthrough as an absolute dark horse.

Men's sprint has always been the most concerned and anticipated event in the Olympic Games, in the men's 100-meter sprint event of the Athens Olympic Games, two Chinese athletes advanced to the semi-finals for the first time, two athletes advanced to the semi-finals in the men's 200-meter event, and there are more gold hotspots in the 110-meter hurdles, which are all historic achievements.

The 17-year-old sprinter Su Zu broke the 10-second mark in the 100-meter and 20-second mark in the 200-meter at this Olympic Games, creating such a world-shocking result for the first time as a non-black sprinter. It's a small step for individuals, but it's a big leap for our country's athletics program......"

……

At this time, the sports pages of the entire Western newspaper media revolved around the boos of the crowd at the 200-meter site yesterday.

Crawford, who won the title, said after the race that he understood the feelings of the Greek crowd: "We are in the birthplace of the Olympic Games, the defending champion is from Greece, but unfortunately he can't come to the competition. I know the audience is frustrated, but I don't understand why they're doing it this way. —The Washington Post

Gatlin, the 100m champion, said: "We don't want any athlete to be harmed, and we understand that the Greeks want their national hero to be able to participate in this race, but we don't want the race to be delayed because of that. —Daily Mail

……

On a day when the media in the East and the West were bustling, at the training ground next to the Athens Olympic Village, four or five figures wearing red sprint tracksuits had already started training early.

On the sidelines of the field, Li Zhizhong, Yuan Guohua and Mai Shaoqiang, three coaches, were staring at the few people in the training ground who were training to hand over the baton, and the red sound in the footsteps was running back and forth.

"Stop! A few of you come over here. ”

At the end of another group of relay training, Yuan Guohua clapped his palms and reminded a few people to stop.

On the training ground, Su Zu, Yang Guangzong, Chen Jian, and Shen Yunbao all stopped their movements and turned their heads to look at the three coaches on the sidelines.

Since tonight is the first round of relay preliminaries, the athletes on the field did not really run in the regular way of 4×100, basically everyone's running distance is about thirty or forty meters, mainly to familiarize themselves with the process of handing over the baton again.

Among them, Su Zu's last stick, considering his physical fitness, basically just started to accelerate and stopped after the baton was completed.

"Chen Jian, when you and Yang Guangzong hand over the baton, you must move quickly and neatly." Yuan Guohua pointed at Chen Jian, "If there is a second handover, it may be out of the relay area, and basically the delay time is about 0.1-0.2 seconds, which cannot be chased back." ”

"Got it, Coach Yuan." Chen Jian nodded, although it was a training of dozens of meters, but there was indeed a little situation, Yang Guangzong increased his speed faster, and it was not so smooth when he handed over the baton. ”

"Well, there's one more thing I have to tell you." Yuan Guohua did not continue to make a fuss about Chen Jian and Yang Guangzong, the two have been training for a very long time, and there is no need to say that they have a tacit understanding. The competition is coming soon, and there is no need to make a fuss about the baton handover training for dozens of meters.

coughed lightly, and then said: "You also saw the 200 meters last night, and the sound of the scene was so loud that it was almost inaudible, which is very necessary to pay attention to the slogan when handing over the baton." When handing over the baton, the word 'receive' must be shouted loudly enough to ensure that the person in front of you can hear it clearly. ”

"Look." Yuan Guohua walked to the runway as he spoke, took the baton behind Chen Jian, and suddenly shouted violently: "Pick up!" ”

The baton in his hand suddenly stretched out, and Chen Jian, who was just in front of him, stretched out his hand behind him and got it smoothly.

"There must be no mistakes here, and if you make a mistake, the person who takes over the baton in front of you will be easy to get nervous, the rhythm will be disrupted, and the time wasted here will be too high to start again." Yuan Guohua continued to emphasize the precautions.

These are all things that have been trained for a long time, but now I have turned them out before the game to remind them.

However, Yuan Guohua said that the person in front of the baton is called to take over the baton, and it is still necessary to pay attention to this, when the baton is handed over after the baton in the relay competition, there will be a password to call the person in front to take the baton, but the scene is too noisy, which is likely to cause interference.

"Okay, you can continue, you don't have to practice too hard, the main thing is to move more smoothly, like Su Zu, you and Yunbao do a few more sets of training."

Su Zu nodded, he arrived in Athens from the beginning, the end of the preparation is the 100 meters and 200 meters of the event, the last few days have indeed not touched the relay again, the movement and pace is a little more familiar. His relay training today is mainly to find a feeling, and he doesn't need to sprint desperately in transition.

"Come on, Su Zu."

Shen Yunbao stood on the runway and greeted Su Zu with a smile.

In this Olympic Games, the other three members of the relay team all have individual events, and only he participates in the relay race, and his energy and physical fitness are the best, and he has a feeling of impatience.

Half-squatting on the starting line, watching Shen Yunbao run to the distance of the measured distribution, get up and accelerate, and when he ran seven steps, he just heard Shen Yunbao's voice, stretched his hand back, and the baton was naturally handed over to his hand.
