On February 25, the second leg of the National Indoor Track and Field Championships in Jinmen began.

In the indoor track and field gymnasium of the Jinmen Sports Center, the number of spectators who came to watch the game today was higher than the number of people at the first stop a few days ago.

In the audience next to the venue, many people waved small flags and held banners to demonstrate and cheer. Most of these new viewers came for Chen Jian and Yang Guangzong.

Since 99, the two have won the National Track and Field Championships, the Grand Prix Finals, the Ninth Games Championship, etc., and last year they both won the bronze medal in the Asian Games, the third place in the 4X100 relay, and they are well-deserved leaders in the men's short track event in China at this time.

Even if there is still a gap between the level of performance and the world's first-class athletes, and the domestic men's sprint event is also unpopular, there are still a small number of track and field enthusiasts who come to watch the competition.

The popularity of such sports events is directly related to the popularity of the players.

Although Su Zu won a sub-station championship and a finals championship in last year's track and field Grand Prix, and attracted the attention of coaches and athletes in the sports system, he is a newcomer who has just emerged, but in the eyes of ordinary people, he is still a nobody, and compared with Chen Jian, Yang Guangzong and others, there is a big gap.

For example, Chen Jian missed the men's 100-meter championship in the Ninth National Games in 2001, and lost to Su Zu by 0.01 seconds in the finals of the National Track and Field Championships last year, but he has already won two national track and field championships before, broke the men's 100-meter record in the Universiade, and has many major honors such as the runner-up in the East Asian Games and the third place in the Asian Games.

Interested people may notice Su Zu, a newcomer who has just risen in the track and field, but at this time, whether it is a member of the coaching staff within the national team or an ordinary athlete sports reporter, they will not think that Su Zu's current strength is stronger than Chen Jian.

One is that Su Zu is still young, and his training is far from enough, so he can be regarded as a rising star; The other is that athletes such as Chen Jian, Yang Guangzong, Yin Hangchao and other athletes are entering their peak, and their strength is in a state of high-speed improvement. Losing one or two games will not affect their quality assessment.

To measure a person's competitive level, after all, it still has to fall into one game after another, and there are enough achievements to be convincing.

18 o'clock in the evening.

The men's 60m final of the National Indoor Athletics Championships begins.

Chen Jian is in the fourth lane, Su Zu is in the fifth lane, and the two are the first and second places in the preliminaries. Chen Jian ran 6.63 seconds in the preliminaries, reaching the level of participation in the World Indoor Championships, which is also his current personal best in the 60m event. In other words, Chen Jian ran out of the last stop, and Chen Jian got the qualifications to participate in the World Track and Field Indoor Championships.

Su Zu ran 6.64 seconds in the preliminaries, ranking second by a slight disadvantage. Compared to the 60m and 100m, the results will be closer to each other.

On the track and field, many people's eyes were attracted by the men's 60-meter final, and the sprint event was wonderful for a moment, especially the men's 60-meter and 100-meter sprint, which was a perfect combination of strength and speed.

In an instant, rushing out is winning or losing. Sometimes you blink and you miss the best part of the competition.

Being able to compete with a top player like Chen Jian in China is also a challenge and a gain for Su Zu.

After an athlete enters a certain level, what is especially needed is an opponent and a strong player. Playing against opponents who are stronger than you or equal to you can easily bring out the best in you.

From the mental and physical state adjustment preparation before the game, to the all-out competition in the game, there will be a strong sense of urgency. This sense of urgency can lead to an imbalance in the performance of many runners, but it can also allow runners to break through, climb to a better level, and run better results.

After running first in Chen Jian's preliminaries, Su Zu's whole state began to get excited. In the last round of the national indoor competition, he failed to run the World Indoor Championships, partly because it was too easy to win.

Now it's different, now there are people in the preliminaries who are faster than him, and he has a very clear goal. This is true in sports competitions, no matter how big or small, you need to set a clear goal for the opponent, surpass him and beat him, in order to continue to become stronger.

This is also the intention of the coaches of the track and field team, Yu Liwei initially wanted Su Zu to train with Mai Shaoqiang, but he hoped that Su Zu and Chen Jian would have moderate competition in training, and they could temper each other and make progress together.

Although in the end, Mak Shaoqiang could not distract himself from the reason to refuse, but it will always be encountered in the field. Similarly, Chen Jian at this time in the domestic men's 60m and 100m events, there are few opponents who can pose a threat to him, and now there is a newcomer, there is competitive pressure, and some coaches in the track and field team are happy to see it.

"I was able to beat you at the National Athletics Championships last time, and I will definitely win this time."

Su Zu glanced at Chen Jian beside him with burning eyes, and his desire for victory and fighting spirit gradually burned.

Reborn in the first life, he almost let go of all the fetters, focused, simple, pure, with the help of the system, step by step training to improve himself.

In order to be able to walk on a bigger stage to realize and achieve the dreams of youth.

Come to the competition to win.

This has nothing to do with personal grudges, in fact, in the past two days in the Tianjin Sports Institute, everyone has been training together and getting along quite well. It's just that on the field, there is only one champion, why can't it be me?

It can only be me.

Su Zu doesn't think that his current strength will be worse than Chen Jian, even if Chen Jian is now at the peak of his competitive state, his strength is improving rapidly, and he is favored by most people, but he has also been improving, and everyone is improving, so see the real chapter on the field.

Before the starting line, Chen Jian felt Su Zu's gaze sweeping over him, but he didn't turn his head, he and the coaches met at the Jinmen Sports Institute the day before yesterday, and they chatted together in the back, and they were also doing adaptive training together yesterday.

Overall, he also had a very good impression of Su Zu. His own personality is a relatively introverted person, and Su Zu's mental state of focusing on training is also easy to infect, unlike the young athletes he has encountered, who have little strength, and look at people with their nostrils one by one.

But when you go to the field, everyone is an opponent.

In private, they can be friends and brothers, but on the field, there are only competitors. Every championship is won by stepping on countless opponents.

Just like when he walked on the field again and again, he picked off his previous senior brothers and predecessors, and walked to today's position step by step, and there will also be many rising newcomers in the future, who will do the same thing with his goal. It's just that I didn't expect time to come so quickly.

He suffered a few injuries before last year's Asian Games and has recovered almost well in the months of winter training. His current age is really the year of fighting, in the prime of men's sprinting.

Not long ago, he ran 10.29 seconds in the 100 meters in training, setting a new personal best for himself. If the Asian Games were to happen again, he might not be able to outrun the first-place Safar, a naturalized black Saudi athlete, but the second-place No. 2 Nobuhara will certainly not be his opponent.

He can clearly feel that he has been in great form this year.

"I was careless in the last championship fight, and this time, I won't lose."

Even if it's only 60 meters indoors, as long as it's a competition, a heart that wants to win the championship is the same.

With a challenger, it is natural to use all his strength to defend his current honor as the first person in the 100 meters in China.

……

"All in place—" The starter slagged in the elder's voice of reminder, muttering the third word. The eight runners in the men's 60m final stretched their bodies and walked back to the starting line, landing their feet on the starting gear and squatting down.

"Ready-" The athlete stood up, ready to exert his strength.

"Smack!"

The guns rang out from the game, and the sixteen arms instantly raised high back and forth, and began to accelerate quickly and sharply.

In the first twenty meters, Su Zu was slightly half a position behind Chen Jian, but he soon ran on the way to the straight body, thirty meters, forty meters, and the two were already neck and neck, biting together.

Behind them, the other six finalists were all one position behind each other by more than a metre.

Who will win and who will come first?

Both the spectators and the coaches and athletes held their breath, their eyes firmly following the movement of several people.

Lu Jianming frowned, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and his nails sank into the flesh of his palms. Beside him, Chen Jian's coach Mai Shaoqiang was not calm at all, and when he was habitually nervous, he gritted his teeth and puffed out his cheeks.

Compared with Lu Jianming and Mai Shaoqiang, the two nervous head coaches, although Yu Liwei is also a little serious, his face is still firmly seated in Diaoyutai.

The two have played each other again since the last track and field Grand Prix, and they must be chess opponents. It is foreseeable that in the next period of time, there will be many such opportunities, which is the best competition for men's sprinters in China. From the perspective of the deputy head coach of the national track and field team, these are their own players, and winning or losing is not important, but being able to run better is the goal.

In addition to the challenges of the teammates around you, there will be countless strong enemies from the outside.

At a distance of 60 meters, accompanied by the sound of fast and strong snapping footsteps, eight figures flew by one after another.

It's time to cross the line!

Su Zu and Chen Jian almost crossed the finish line together, the two were too close to each other, and they bit too tightly, and it was almost impossible to distinguish who was first and who was behind with the naked eye.

6.60 seconds!

The new national men's 60m record is also the men's 60m record at the National Indoor Athletics Championships

Su Zu and Chen Jian hit the line at the same time to create this record, before that, the domestic men's 60-meter record was 6.62 seconds, according to the historical trajectory, the national men's 60-meter record will not be broken until 2005 by a 17-year-old in Guangzhou with a time of 6.61 seconds, and then in 2008 with a new time of 6.58 seconds, and finally in 2011 another sprinter of Su Zu's own family will raise this record again in 6.56 seconds.

And now, this record has been broken by Su Zu and Chen Jian two years ahead of schedule, refreshing history.

Chen Jian, the best sprinter in China at present, is a good runner in the first half of the marathon, and his 60-meter score is close to the level of the national record.

At this time, the stadium broadcast the good news of the new record several times in a row, and the spectators who came to watch the game couldn't help but applaud. After all, a national record has just been born right under his nose.

However, the two coaches, Lu Jianming and Mai Shaoqiang, did not relax, and were still a little nervous waiting for the referee to give the final ranking.

Su Zu and Chen Jian have the same score within one hundredth of a second, and if they want to rank second, they must be calculated to one thousandth of a second. In the era of electric meters, there was also a slow-motion playback of the end video, and there was basically no tie for the first place.

After another minute or two, the announcement of the ranking sounded again, and Su Zu crossed the line first with an advantage of five thousandths of a second and won the men's 60-meter final of the second stop of the National Track and Field Indoor Championships.

Yu Liwei looked at the champion and runner-up who had just broken the men's 60-meter record, smiled brightly, and had more confidence for the next trip to Europe.
