After the race, Su Zu just got off the track, Yutong Stadium and Shizhuang City Committee checked the starting point in detail, and the two officials and equipment people in charge of this selection came to apologize and communicate with Su Zu, and repeatedly promised that there would be no such problems in the following races.

From their standpoint, it is conceivable that they do not want to see such a problem. At this moment, I rushed to appease the athletes and coaches in time, but I was also afraid that as soon as the reporter went out for the interview, there might be news such as "There is a problem with the starting point of the selection competition, and the 100-meter champion is almost missing the final" on the headlines of tomorrow's sports page.

This will naturally have a great negative impact on the local organizers who have spent a lot of effort to host this Olympic trials, and even a few major responsible persons may have to be hanged.

At this stage, the holding of sports events in China is not only commercial in nature, but also has a strong political color.

Because they have entered the 200-meter final, Su Zu and Li Zhizhong did not hold on to this, this kind of thing is unclear, carefully calculated, at most, which person in charge of equipment procurement and inspection was criticized and punished.

"Did you hurt your feet?"

After Su Zu left the arena, Li Zhizhong pulled him to the lounge without saying a word, and asked the team doctor of the main committee and Jiang Daheng, the masseuse, to come over and check it out.

When Su Zu started, he stepped on the starting block instantly, Li Zhizhong saw it very clearly, and he stepped on the empty foot at the start, and there should be no problem with it, but he followed up with a 200-meter super intensity run, and he was really not at ease if he didn't check it.

"Probably not."

Su Zu sat on a chair and gently moved his right ankle without feeling any pain. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he checked whether there was any abnormal state in the system properties panel of each person.

"Nothing."

Jiang Daheng massages athletes all year round, and he also has experience in this aspect, so he groped for a while according to Su Zu's ankle joint, got up and said to Li Zhizhong.

Another team doctor arranged by the committee also checked it, nodded and said, "There are no signs of sprains, but if it is recommended, you can use ice cubes to cool down first." ”

"Don't worry, coach, I'm not injured!" After the two of them finished testing, Su Zu saw that there were only a few lines of negative state of slight fatigue on the data panel, and said to Li Zhizhong.

"That's good." Li Zhizhong breathed a sigh of relief after listening to the words of several people, and now that the Olympics are only two or three months away, he really can't be negligent. The occurrence of such a chain at a critical moment will have an immeasurable impact on the follow-up.

Although it is said that since Li Zhizhong began to train with Su Zu, he has almost never encountered any injuries from Su Zu. But he never dared to take it lightly, basically Su Zuyi took the initiative to say that he was a little uncomfortable and needed to rest and relieve, and Lao Li basically didn't say anything.

Athletes' injuries are really a long-standing problem, track and field events are not confrontational events, most of the injuries are mainly caused by the unreasonable training intensity caused by the athletes' physical fatigue, and there is also the incomplete recovery of injuries, after the second intensity of training gradually accumulated and deepened, from some slight impacts, gradually developed into major injuries.

Su Zu has rarely had injuries since he entered the national track and field team, which has also aroused the curiosity of many people. The coaching staff of the team has consulted Li Zhizhong many times, and there is even a special research group that has begun to study the training intensity of athletes and the prevention and treatment of injuries in advance.

Although I don't know if the objects of the later application are different and whether there is any effect, it is always a good thing to be able to have such a topic of research. Prevention and treatment of injuries and illnesses for athletes is the key, and treatment is only the follow-up solution.

"In the future races, in terms of starting gear and spike inspection, we still have to be more detailed, and it's a good thing that I didn't get injured this time."

After sending Jiang Daheng and the team doctor away, Li Zhizhong turned around and told Su Zu again.

"I was careless this time."

Su Zu nodded, since the first time he entered the sports school that year, Zheng Wei has taught many small details that athletes need to pay attention to, and he will also adjust the starting point before each race. But perhaps with the victory of one game after another, some subtle preparations were inevitably overlooked and underestimated by him. This preliminaries were like this, although I felt that the starting gear was a little loose before the race, I didn't pay too much attention to it, and there was less of a test run.

"You know, anything can happen on the playing field, and the slightest mistake can have a fatal effect. Some athletes in Europe and the United States may cause a serious mental imbalance even if they lack a lucky charm ornament. ”

Li Zhizhong then told that this is not empty talk, but for sprinting, which is a highly focused sport from the start to the finish, it is easy to affect the runners with a slight physiological and psychological fluctuation.

Like Su Zu's stumbling start just now, some athletes may just give up this race, and the start is not perfect, and the psychological pressure caused to the athletes is huge.

On May 23rd, the selection competition has entered the final day.

The list of men's 200m finals was released, Su Zu ranked second in the preliminaries group with a time of 20.87 seconds, and Xu Zhiyu, who was in the same group as him in the preliminaries, finally lost to Su Zu with a score of 20.87 seconds, a slight difference of one hundredth of a second, at the moment of crossing the line at the end.

The best result in the entire preliminaries group was Yang Guangzong, who ran a time of 20.73 seconds. Shen Yunbao's performance in the 200m was also very good, running to a time of 20.89 seconds.

At 10:15 a.m., the men's 200m final officially began.

This time, Su Zu checked everything from spikes to the starting block very carefully before the race, and tried to run twice in a row before the start of the race. Others, including Yang Guangzong, Shen Yunbao, Xu Zhiyu and others, all had their own examples, and they were all checked again.

This is the final of the Olympic 200m trials, and if Su Zu's situation happens again in the final, there is no place to cry, and they don't have the strength to catch up with the last place from the bottom to the first place.

Su Zu also mentioned the highest importance to this final, and after this trial, the list of athletes in track and field events to participate in the Olympic Games was basically determined. And before the Olympics, there were many competitions at home and abroad, except for an IAAF Grand Prix that was determined to be abandoned, and Su Zu did not have too many competitions to participate in recently.

In the AB standard of the Olympic Games, if you can reach the A standard in the sprint event, there are three places. After reaching the A standard, the number of participants in the competition is based on the number of people in the A standard. Only if no one meets the score of standard A, the score of standard B will be considered, and there is only one place for standard B.

If Su Zu wants to participate in the men's 200-meter race at the Athens Olympics, he has to run the 200-meter A standard in this final

Su Zu and Yang Guangzong said that they didn't run much 200 meters, but Li Zhizhong occasionally used the stopwatch to memorize them in daily training. Yesterday's unexpected situation reminded Su Zu that no game can be careless and relaxed, and no one can guarantee what will happen in the next second.

On the field, the eight finalists stepped on the starting gear on their respective tracks and did several test runs, moving their hands and ankle joints to do the final warm-up before the race.

“…… Okay, ladies and gentlemen, the 2004 National Athletics Championships and Olympic Trials will be held in the men's 200m final. Now, let's welcome our finalists. Our first course is ......"

The radio began to sound on the conference, detailing the eight athletes in the final.

The National Track and Field Championships were not broadcast live on TV, and occasionally CCTV and local TV stations had a few cameramen hurrying past with heavy equipment to record some video footage of the competition for future news material.

According to their rankings in the preliminaries, the path arrangements of several athletes are:

The first He Jun

The second Wang Liangyu

The third way, Xu Zhiyu

Fourth Dao Yang Guangzong

The Fifth Dao Su Zu

The sixth Shen Yunbao

The Seventh Don Army

The eighth Liu Haitao

With the loud voice of the live announcer in the sound of the broadcast, the nearly 10,000 spectators at Yutong Stadium applauded every time an athlete was introduced.

There are many various events in the country every year, in addition to football and basketball games, there are not many events at a certain level, which are subject to the influence of local sports conditions and atmosphere, and can be hosted by local cities and provincial capitals. This time, the attendance of the spectators, which was affected by the Olympics, has greatly exceeded the previous indoor championships.

The host of the scene introduced the past in detail one by one, and when Su Zu was introduced, the applause at the scene was unprecedentedly loud, and the sound of various accompanying gadgets brushing was also endless, and some radical male viewers even ignored the eyes of others and whistled loudly.

Most of the audience at the scene had come to watch the preliminaries last night and witnessed the amazing scene of Su Zu surpassing from the last place to the first place.

In addition, today's newcomers are track and field enthusiasts who have known about Su Zu through TV commercials, online media, etc., national record holders, and history-making world championship champions.

With the introduction of the live broadcast host, many people in the audience also found that among the athletes participating in the sprint, the Guangdong provincial team won several places.

Among the eight athletes in the men's 200m final, Xu Zhiyu, Wang Liangyu and Tang Jun belong to the Guangdong provincial team, and in the men's 100m final held before, including Chen Jian, Liu Yang and others, they are also Guangdong provincial teams. From the side, it can also be seen that among the current domestic provinces and cities, Guangdong Province's comprehensive sprinting strength is undoubtedly the strongest.

"Come on!"

"Come on!"

In the sound of cheering one after another, the referees on the sidelines watched the readiness of all the athletes, and the starter then began to shout the ready password.

At the same time, the voice of the host of the conference also sounded through the loudspeakers of each venue, "The game is about to start, please keep quiet." ”

Su Zu returned to the starting line, stepped on the aerator with both feet, bowed his head and squatted, looking at the rough rubber track, and his heart was unwavering.

"Ready—"

The starter's voice was clearly audible, and eight athletes began to get up and make a starting position at the same time from the front and back of the pass.

Su Zu silently took a soft breath, his ears pricked up, and all his attention was on the gunfire that was about to start.

"Smack!"

An electron gun rang out from the small horn behind the athlete's starting block, and almost instantly all the athletes' feet slammed on the starting gear, and their bodies began to accelerate desperately from absolute standstill.

It's game on!

The venue, which had just quieted down, was boiling at the same time as the athletes started.

Su Zu already had a good experience in the technique of accelerating in corners, leaning slightly on the side, taking a quick and powerful step along the dividing line on the left side of the runway, the arm swing of his left hand controlled the amplitude, and the swing arm of his right hand was strengthened to maintain the smooth angle of the body and the arc.

This is a 200-meter run, and in terms of running skills, you don't need to run at high speed with a fast cadence to win, just like the 60-meter indoor race, but you need to have a certain big stride, so that the body can push to the highest acceleration stage as much as possible.

Compared with the fast frequency of small steps, the medium and upper frequency of appropriate large steps will be more advantageous. The 200-meter distance is longer, and in the 100-meter sprint, for example, most athletes start at 40 meters after the acceleration phase, continue to 60 or 70 meters, and then descend to the final sprint.

Running 200 meters, although not 400 meters, should take into account the physical limit and physical speed distribution, but the large stride in front of the middle and upper frequency will help to move your speed peak to the middle.

Su Zu's running style was stable and correct, and he stabilized the fifty-meter distance of the front corner, and accelerated his peak speed high point with a powerful stride in the middle and upper cadence.

Shen Yunbao, who was on his right, had already run to the peak of his personal speed at this time, and with his super fast cadence, Su Zu was almost unable to pull the distance into the corner with Shen Yunbao at this stage.

But after reaching seventy or eighty meters of the corner, Shen Yunbao's speed inevitably began to enter a certain downward curve in the middle running stage, and at this time, Su Zu's acceleration peak gradually accumulated to the highest level.

The audience on the sidelines exclaimed at the same time again, almost a curve distance of about 110 meters, sixty or seventy meters ahead, the 456th Yang Guangzong Su Zu Shen Yunbao basically maintained a fixed distance from the start, but as soon as the eighty meters passed, Su Zu's speed all increased, and he began to catch up with Shen Yunbao on the right hand side on the corner, and at 90 meters, he was neck with the Tang Army in the seventh lane.

One hundred meters, the curve into the straight, the largest arc in the entire 200-meter curve, at this time Su Zu had caught up with Liu Haitao in the eighth road on the far right.

Entering the straight, Su Zu had already taken the lead and surpassed everyone with an absolute advantage.

Entering the straight, the spectators on the sidelines of the arena can already see the rankings of all the competitors at a glance. Su Zu took the lead in entering the straight, and gradually distanced himself from the players next to him, and the second place behind Su Zu was Yang Guangzong, then Shen Yunbao, and then Xu Zhiyu.

"Come on! Come on! ”

A deafening cheering sound continued to be heard.

On the straight track, Su Zu quickly swung his arms and strode out with his legs, at this stage he had already fought for the speed endurance of the second half, and whoever could maintain the high speed of his running on the way would win the final victory.

The finish line is getting closer and closer, the limit of the body is getting closer and closer, the steps seem to become heavy and tired, the lungs seem to be burning, and the high-speed exercise has reached this stage, the body is already in a state of complete lack of oxygen, and all kinds of negative states after entering the speed limit have emerged.

But for a moment, there is little need to overcome. Long-term training, fast cadence, abundant physical fitness, strong speed inertia and willpower still allow the body to maintain the highest speed of sprinting.

Rush!

Su Zu gritted his teeth and tried his best to sprint!

Forty meters, thirty meters, twenty meters, ten meters......

The finish line is in sight!

At this time, Yang Guangzong, who was closest to Su Zu and was trying his best to chase Su Zu, was already more than 10 meters away from Su Zu.

Viewed from the top of the spectator seats, the eight athletes in the 200-meter were almost separated by several echelons.

And Su Zu, who is in the first place, has opened an impossible distance with others.

Keep your head down and hit the line!

The audience applauded thunderously, and countless cheers exploded!

20.12 seconds on the chronograph card!

A new national record!

He broke the previous Asian record of 20.16 seconds set by Koji Ito in September 1998.

It is 0.09 seconds away from the new Asian record of 20.03 seconds set by Shingo Sueji in June 2003!
