Suzu ran a few laps along a small road along the river outside the hotel, probably due to the relatively small population of Linz, and the area outside the hotel was quite open, with places such as a flower garden park for people to take a break. Occasionally, you can see tourists hurrying by in trench coats.

The twilight gradually sank, and the street lamps on both sides of the road emitted a misty glow, which was not bright, but with the lights and different scenery in the distance, it was a bit exotic.

Su Zu jogged around the cement and gravel paths around the hotel for more than ten minutes, feeling that his body was gradually heating up, and the whole person's mental state gradually adjusted from the malaise brought by the long journey, and then found a clean place on the bank of a remote river, and did some quick leg raises, diagonal supports, push-ups and other exercises on the spot.

It wasn't until the negative status attribute of the body's [burnout] in the system that he stopped and prepared to go back to the hotel.

Although Yu Liwei agreed with him to come out, the athletes who went abroad were all part of the collective, and the impact of leaving the team for a long time was not good. When the goal is achieved, there is no need to delay.

On the way back, there was just another straight of one or two hundred meters, and Su Zu was a little faster in a sprint, but when he passed through the intersection of a small road, there was a sudden ding, and a black shadow jumped out.

"Why is there someone all of a sudden?!" Su Zu was taken aback, but fortunately, after long-term training, his body reacted quickly, and he jumped away from the side with one side.

At the same time, the black shadow that suddenly appeared also screamed, and a squeaky and piercing friction sound sounded, and it also moved to the side, but it was probably too fast, and it still couldn't stop, and it hit the guardrail next to it. The sound of something falling on the ground sounded.

At this time, Su Zu saw clearly that it was a white girl riding a bicycle through the street light next to her, with one foot on the ground, looking frightened. There were oranges and books on the basket rack in front of the bike, which fell off after hitting the railing.

"Fei Yi Ou Yi." The white girl looked a little nervous, and turned her head sideways to ask Su Zu.

Su Zu blinked, looking confused, he didn't understand what the other party meant, but the last two syllables were a bit like OK, probably guessing that the other party might be asking if he was hurt.

The white girl stared at the blue eyes, looked at Su Zu's appearance seriously, pursed her lips and smiled, as if she also guessed that Su Zu might not have understood, and asked again in English.

It should be mentioned here that although Austria is a traditional German-speaking country, the English language is quite popular, and almost many people can speak English.

"I'm fine, thank you, what about you? Sorry, I didn't notice you just now. ”

Su Zu answered the first half of the sentence very skillfully, after all, it was a classic answer to the first lesson of learning English. In the second half of the sentence, there are some stumbles, but in the end, one word at a time, I can still express it clearly.

Then the girl muttered a few words in English, this time because of the speed of speech and accent, Su Zu didn't understand too much. His fourth-level water was too much, and he threw it away for many years, so he simply picked up the books and oranges that the girl had scattered on the ground and returned them to her.

The girl probably also knew that there was a communication barrier between the two, so she said thank you, smiled and waved, and quickly disappeared into the night on her bicycle.

When he returned to the hotel, he saw the accompanying translator surnamed Wang in the lobby, and he seemed to be slightly relieved to see Su Zu appear. After all, foreign affairs workers treat these things as work tasks.

He sent Su Zu back to the room, and repeatedly told him not to go out at will, emphasizing the organizational discipline, Su Zu nodded and agreed one by one.

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, three coaches, Yu Liwei, Lu Jianming and Yuan Guohua, led by several translators, went directly to the public hall of the Lissfeld Community Gymnasium for adaptive recovery training.

The indoor competition in Linz was not the focus of the competition, but mainly for the Vienna International Indoor Championships in a few days, which was a transitional and restorative training in Linz.

There are many people training in the public hall, and there are athletes of all colors who come to compete from all over the world. Su Zu watched from the side for a while, but he didn't see any familiar faces. He is not familiar with the well-known sprinters at this time, and he heard that Yu Liwei brought Linz to this indoor competition at a low level, and many famous athletes did not come.

However, at the International Indoor Championships in Vienna three days later, there will be many famous players who will play in the World Indoor Athletics Championships later.

On the third day, March 7, the indoor competition in Linz began.

In the men's 60-meter event, there are only 60 or 70 competitors from all over the world, two games a day, and the first eight finals are won after the preliminaries, which is similar to the domestic indoor competition.

The difference is that the preliminaries are held in the morning and the finals are held in the afternoon.

In the men's 60 meters of the indoor competition, Su Zu ran 6.61 seconds to enter the final with the second place in the preliminaries. After running 6.79 seconds, he missed the final in the afternoon.

This is also a great benefit brought by Su Zu's sensory system, which can understand some abnormal states in the body in advance and adjust them in time. In the eyes of the coaching staff, Su Zu's performance is particularly stable, and there are basically few ups and downs in form.

As early as when he was in Hedao City, Wang Yuanbin actually discovered this characteristic, no matter what the game was, Su Zu's basic results were steadily rising, and there was rarely a decline in performance. This is especially true for athletes, who are not easy to stay in shape for a long time.

In other indoor events, Yang Guangzong entered the final of the men's 200m indoor race with a seventh place in the preliminaries, and Liu Yangyu entered the final with a fourth place in the preliminaries.

In the afternoon, inside the arena of the Lissfeld sports complex.

There were significantly more players coming to watch the final of the Linz Indoor Championship than in the morning heats. Austria has an organized sports population, with almost 50 percent of people participating in various sports club activities, which is well above the European average.

Moreover, the popularity of athletics in Europe is much greater than that in China, and commercial sports competitions have attracted the attention of many people, such as the annual IAAF Golden League, which is also one of several large-scale events.

Su Zu obviously felt that at this time, the gap between the level of international players and domestic players in the track and field men's short track event, this time the Linz indoor competition was not the top player, but it still gave him a lot of pressure in the 60-meter event. The first time in the preliminaries was 6.59 seconds, and he has already reached the threshold of 6.60 seconds.

15 p.m. local time. The men's 60m final of the indoor competition begins.

"It was my first international tournament."

Before the starting line, Su Zu looked at the six black runners from various countries, except for one white runner from Linz.

Originally, he thought that his first time participating in an international event would be the Asian Championships, Asian Games and other competitions, but he didn't expect that he would run to Linz, Austria, thousands of miles away.

The purpose of the team is to train the soldiers in the competition in Austria this time, and the Linz Indoor Competition is a warm-up before training, and the coaching staff of the entire track and field team is not very important.

2003 is a year of major competitions, the Indoor World Athletics Championships, the Asian Games, the World Athletics Championships, the City Games, etc., in the planning of the athletics management center and the coaching staff, this whole year is actually a big training, in order to prepare for next year's Olympic Games. With the help of these various events, athletes can accumulate more experience in competitions, and I hope to have a few more athletes who meet the Olympic AB standard.

“SET！” The starter's ready voice sounded.

Su Zu emptied his mind of distracting thoughts, arched his body, and waited for the gunshots to sound at any time.

"Smack!" Match guns rang out.

As soon as he started Su Zu, he felt the pressure, he felt that the starting speed of this trip was not slow, and Chen Jian was the only one who could firmly hold him down in the current starting acceleration stage in China. But this time I ran out, and it was obvious that several figures had this kind of strength.

Accelerate and rush!

Su Zu gritted his teeth and took the fastest swing arm step to increase his speed.

The 60-meter sprint has not entered the Olympic Games and some large-scale comprehensive games, and the attention is actually quite low, mainly because of the indoor competition, and most of the participants are also 100-meter athletes. Of course, there are also athletes who specialize in the 60-meter event, but the overall number is relatively small.

The distance is different, but there is also a difference in the running style.

For example, Su Zu himself, he runs 100 meters now with a larger pace, and in the first half of the race, he will run slower than before on the way to the highest speed, but the acceleration time is a little longer, the acceleration is more sufficient, and he can be faster in the middle and second half.

But in the 60-meter run, you actually have to lower your stride length a little and increase your cadence to facilitate faster and more adequate acceleration in the first half of the race.

Su Zu is still running according to the 100-meter running method, and Lu Jianming and several other coaches do not recommend him to change it, after all, the 100-meter event is the most important, and the 60-meter event is only for the purpose of accumulating experience in the competition. A running style that has just begun to take shape, without encountering a particularly big bottleneck, should be cautious in changing.

Soon, the 60-meter final was over. Su Zu's final time was 6.60 seconds, the same as the last time he ran in the domestic indoor competition. However, in terms of ranking, it was third, with a time of 6.58 seconds in the first round and 6.59 seconds in the second round.

Su Zu stood on the edge of the finish line baffle and breathed heavily, although he was mentally prepared, he really lost to others in the 60 meters, and he was still a little distracted for a while.

"I ran well, even though I didn't finish first, but I was very good. I was fifth in the final. Liu Yangyu on the side of the track looked at Su Zu's expression and ran over to comfort him.

He also performed well in today's 60m hurdles final, but he was able to win the championship in the 60m hurdles in the domestic indoor competition, and only finished fifth in the international arena. Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that I have just arrived in Austria and are adjusting my condition.

"It's okay, it's good to play your best." Lu Jianming patted Su Zu on the shoulder, he had studied Su Zu's competition results in detail, and in all the big and small competitions in China, he basically came first, for fear that his mentality was a little unbalanced.

Chen Jian, Yang Guangzong and others, who came to watch together, also had the attitude of brothers, saying that they had not been able to enter the finals, and they were not as good as Su Zu.

Athletes have a strong desire to compete, but not everyone can win the championship every time they compete. There will always be many losses, regrets, and pains, all of which have come from this process.

Su Zu smiled bitterly, he is now the youngest in the team, but he didn't expect to lose his mind for a while, and everyone came to comfort him with their own results.

He has only been a member of the national track and field team for a short time, but he clearly feels that the atmosphere of the whole team is much more harmonious than that of other professional teams. Perhaps, it is precisely this kind of team atmosphere that has been able to continuously cultivate generations of outstanding newcomers in later generations since Liu Yangyu, and gradually shorten the gap between the Chinese men's short track event and the international one.

While a few people were talking, suddenly a female voice with a strange accent sounded next to him, "SUZU? ”

Su Zu turned his head to look over, and a girl with long brown hair in a community gym overalls looked at him curiously.

It was the white girl who almost hit him on her bike last night.
