Early in the morning of September 25, Su Zu and Li Zhizhong rushed to the National Track and Field Championships at Luzhou Station.

Because of the incident at the airport last night, from Su Zu to Li Zhizhong, they did not dare to go directly rashly, but first communicated with the field management center and the event organizer in advance.

When the organizers of the event learned that Su Zu would come, they naturally warmly welcomed him, and although he would not participate directly, it was also a good thing to be able to show his face.

Su Zu has always been a descendant of the Athletics Management Center, and he was directly brought to the national team from the Hedao City Team, so his personal competition arrangements are not decided by the local sports bureau, but directly decided by the Athletics Management Center.

This is also Su Zu's schedule is more flexible than other athletes, for example, Li Zhizhong gave up the National Track and Field Grand Prix in his schedule plan, and as soon as he reported to Yu Liwei, he could pass directly, without worrying about whether local provincial teams and municipal teams need athletes to participate in some national types of events.

The same is true for Liu Yangyu at this point, whether Liu Yangyu wants to participate in the National Track and Field Championship now is not dominated by the Modu Sports Bureau, but decided by the Athletics Management Center under the General Administration.

Su Zu now has begun to have an intuitive understanding of his popularity, he is really already a well-known sports star, his popularity is bursting, and his popularity is even more exaggerated than he thought.

was blocked at the airport yesterday, on the one hand, the itinerary for returning to China was leaked, and on the other hand, it can also be said that Su Zu and Li Zhizhong's master and apprentice were not cautious enough, and they did not expect such a big popularity at all.

In fact, this is also normal, once you become famous, the world will know. In the past, it was still limited to full-time sports work, and even the National Championships, Asian Championships and City Games were not well known to ordinary people. In the Olympic Games from 04 to 08, the influence of a popular sport has really penetrated into all aspects, and the whole people know it. The influence is far greater than most people imagine.

For fear of causing unnecessary trouble, Su Zu and Li Zhizhong and their entourage drove to Luzhou as a training base, a five- or six-hour drive, and it was already afternoon when they arrived at the Luzhou Sports Center.

Su Zu, led by the staff of the event organizers, appeared next to the arena.

On the track and field, the men's 5,000m final was just played, followed by the women's 100m final and the men's 100m final.

After several hours of rest in the car, Su Zu was in good spirits at this time, wearing a peaked cap and watching the game on the sidelines, just like other ordinary staff, and no one paid attention to him for a while.

For the running event of the track race, Su Zu has always maintained great enthusiasm. Whether it is a long-distance run or a sprint, he can watch it with relish, and constantly analyzes the characteristics of the runners to see if there is something to absorb.

In addition to the regular running and jumping and strength training, many of the sports training and competitions are common in many places, such as the explosive strength training of weightlifting and gymnastics for the core strength and balance training of the body. Similarly, other sports are basically based on the running and jumping classes of track and field.

Su Zu has read a lot of track and field information provided to him by Li Zhizhong, among which Koji Ito, Shingo Suesu, and Nobuji Asahara, who are in the top three of Japan's 100 meters, are all flat-footed.

Many sports do not want flat feet, believing that flat feet are more likely to fatigue than normal people, and fatigue is the natural enemy of sports.

Among these materials, there is a short story of Koji Ito, the Asian 100m record holder recorded before the appearance of Su Zu.

In 1998, Koji Ito entered Tokai University in Japan, and after a training session, he and his friend Fumio Imamura, the Japanese record holder in the 50km race walk, jokingly competed in a race walk, but after walking only 100 meters, Koji Ito was left behind by Imamura.

Koji Ito was amazed that he could outrun Fumio Imamura, but why couldn't he go?

Koji Ito was skeptical of the traditional 100-meter theory of "high leg and big swing arm". So Koji Ito decided to reform his running form, he practiced walking first, and then naturally moved from walking to running.

Most sprinters like to push the ground on their toes when they run, and when they reach maximum speed, many sprinters will land almost only on the ball of their forefoot. Koji Ito, on the other hand, tries to keep all the soles of his feet on the ground, and runs after generating rebound force. While most athletes move forward with their waist horizontal, Koji Ito strides forward by twisting his pelvis while his waist moves his entire lower body.

This running style requires strong muscular support, and Koji Ito underwent high-intensity strength training, increasing his waist circumference from 88 cm to 102 cm and his leg circumference from 54 cm to 62 cm.

When Su Zu finished reading this little story, he sighed, whether the story is true or not, whether this training method is scientific or not varies from person to person, you can ignore it, but this spirit of exploration is still very worthy of learning and affirmation.

The rise of a project may be the birth of a genius, or it may be the result of generations of tireless research and exploration, learning from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and constantly improving.

Su Zu understands that he has the assistance of the system, and he has undoubtedly surpassed the vast majority of people in terms of growth, but competing with the world's top athletes, in addition to sufficient training, also requires this kind of continuous exploration and thinking.

Coaches and researchers can give data analysis and improvement from the perspective of the spectator, and only the athletes themselves know the most subtle experience of the body.

16:15 p.m.

The highlight of this year's National Track and Field Championships and Grand Prix, the men's 100-meter final, began.

When the eight athletes appeared on the track, the crowd cheered. Especially Shen Yunbao, when the live broadcast introduced him as a member of the men's 4×100m relay champion of the Athens Olympics, almost the atmosphere reached the climax.

Among the three gold medals in track and field at the Athens Olympics, there is no doubt that the men's 4×100m relay gold medal is the heaviest.

Su Zu watched Shen Yunbao from the sidelines, waving to the audience around him with some emotion, and also smiled and applauded warmly.

There was a snap of the game gunshots.

Su Zu has been observing the starting movements of all the athletes, and Shen Yunbao's starting reaction is very fast, especially his acceleration in the first half of the race, which is still not comparable to other athletes.

The athletes who can participate in the men's 100-meter event of the National Track and Field Grand Prix are also within the athlete level. There are all types of players who react quickly in the first half, or who need to accelerate sufficiently, and only have an advantage in the middle and second half.

After 30 meters, enter the high-speed mid-way running stage.

Su Zu raised his eyebrows slightly, Shen Yunbao's speed was very fast, and he had an advantage in the first half, but Su Zu could still see that Shen Yunbao's speed was slower than when he was in Athens.

This is also a normal situation, after Athens attended various events and celebrations, other people are not like him, there is no complete training plan, it is difficult for others to maintain the same condition as him.

As soon as the seventy meters passed, Shen Yunbao's speed attenuated so much that he could no longer maintain the first position on the track, and an athlete next to him had already caught up.

Su Zu also knew him, wearing a pair of glasses, and was Gu Kai, who had competed with him, and was also a member of the national track and field team.

Eighty meters, ninety meters...... Finish line!

The first place was Gu Kai with a time of 10.31 seconds, and Shen Yunbao fell into second place, with a final time of 10.34 seconds.

The audience at the scene gave the greatest applause and encouragement at this time, and before the start of the final, it was broadcast on the radio that this was the last game of Shen Yunbao's career.

On the field, Shen Yunbao leaned over and kissed the runway.

This runway, which began when he was a teenager and continued throughout his youth, is about to leave after today.

In the warm applause of the audience, Shen Yunbao raised his head again, with a smile on his face, but tears in his eyes.

"Brother Shen!"

After Shen Yunbao got up, Su Zu took off his cap and ran into the arena.

Shen Yunbao still failed to win this last Grand Prix championship in the end, but as an athlete, the field is so cruel that many regrets may always be avoided.

"Why are you here?" Shen Yunbao was extremely surprised to see Su Zu appear. He knew that Su Zu did not participate in the final Grand Prix, and he also knew that he had only returned from Japan last night. I didn't expect Su Zu to appear on the sidelines to watch his final today.

In the countless exclamations and applause of the audience who recognized Su Zu, Su Zu and Shen Yunbao hugged lightly, bowed to the audience and thanked them.

Every time he looked up, Su Zu couldn't help but think of his experience in the past few years!

I won't forget the first time I competed with you in the Ring!

I will not forget, in the scorching sun in the drizzle and breeze, and the days when you buried your head in hard training!

I will never forget the moment when we were at the Asian Championships, at the Olympics, and going to fight against strong opponents!

I was on the fourth baton, and the moment I took the baton you handed me, I knew I wasn't running alone!

Goodbye, my teammates!
