This National Track and Field Championships is also an Olympic trials, and the schedule is similar to what Su Zu has participated in before, and the three-day event schedule is to compete in the morning and evening.

Related to Su Zu is the men's 1200m biathlon, the first day of the trials is the 100-meter preliminaries, and the evening is the 100-meter final. The 200m will be held in the preliminaries on the second night and the final on the morning of the third day.

Perhaps because of the Olympics, the audience at this National Athletics Championships was much larger than at previous championships.

Shizhuang Yutong Stadium, a stadium invested and built by Xiangjiang tycoon Zheng Yutong, has a stand of 38,000 people, and the attendance rate is more than one-third.

Because it is an Olympic selection, the requirements for participation are much higher, the men's and women's 100-meter preliminaries are 20 people, a total of three preliminaries group, each group takes 2 people according to the ranking, and the remaining 2 people enter the final according to the results.

The situation was similar in the 200m on the second day of the race, with more than two dozen people in the preliminaries.

At 9:30 a.m., the men's 100m heats began.

Su Zu was arranged in the second lane of the second group in the preliminaries, and he did not meet Chen Jian and Shen Yunbao in the same group, but some old faces in last year's championship like Gu Kai, Liu Dapeng and others appeared.

In the preliminaries, Su Zu ran very easily, 10.28 seconds, which basically belonged to the retracted run, and began to release after reaching eighty or ninety meters.

With his current strength, when most of the 100-meter athletes in China are still swaying around 10.40 seconds, it is effortless to qualify for the final with this result.

Similarly, Chen Jian did not make much effort in the first group of the preliminaries, and advanced to the final with a time of 10.39 seconds.

This time in the preliminaries group, on the contrary, Shen Yunbao was in a more courageous state, almost all of them ran with all his might, and won the first place in the preliminaries group with a time of 10.26 seconds.

"The individual strength of the U.S. team is really good, in the last relay race in Sydney, the six relay members of the U.S. team, Atojabari Bolden, Bernard Williams, Morris Green, these people are all under 10 seconds, but their relay coordination is not so skilled, purely relying on the sprinting ability."

"Alas, Master Jiang, you know this clearly, you have caught up with our coach."

"That is, how many years have I been in the track and field team, what information I haven't read, this practice relay, the strength is not enough to make up the skills, like our Asian Games, the sprinting strength of the Thai team is not strong, but the tacit understanding of the relay race is frighteningly high, and the baton is kept at the highest speed, you guys, you have to hurry up and practice."

In the lounge after the game, Su Zu and Chen Jian lay on two massage chairs, and Jiang Daheng, the chief masseuse of the track and field team, was giving the two of them a muscle stretching massage after the game.

At this time, Su Zu, Chen Jianzheng and Jiang Daheng chatted nonsense, chatting about the members of the American men's 4×100m relay race at the last Olympic Games.

"Master Jiang, Su Zu, Chen Jian." While a few people were talking, Shen Yunbao walked in from outside.

"Brother Shen, where did you just go?" Chen Jian lay on the massage chair, tilted his head and asked, "This is just the end of the competition, you have to do muscle relaxation." ”

"It's just a casual walk and a distraction."

Although Shen Yunbao ran 10.26 seconds in the preliminaries, and was also the top two or three in his career, there was no joy on his face at this time, but his expression was solemn, with a little anxiety.

"Feeling bad?"

"That...... I have something to say to both of you. ”

Shen Yunbao said a little hesitantly, and then glanced at Jiang Daheng, who was doing a muscle stretching massage for Su Zu, and looked a little speechless.

"How?" Jiang Daheng looked up and saw Shen Yunbao's eyes, he came to his senses, straightened up and glanced at a few people with a smile, "...... Or I'll go out and wait. ”

"Forget it, no need, Master Jiang." Shen Yunbao hesitated for a moment and shook his head, "It's not something unsightly. ”

As he spoke, Shen Yunbao walked up to Su Zu and Chen Jian who were lying on the massage chair and kicked lightly with his foot, "I can see it in the preliminaries, you didn't run seriously." Don't keep it for me for the finals in the evening.

I really want to win this national championship. I got my wish, but as you all know, I would like to run an Olympic A standard result. ”

Chen Jian glanced at Su Zu, then looked at Shen Yunbao, and laughed, "Hey, Brother Shen, I don't understand what you say." ”

"Less garlic, I don't know what you pay attention to." Shen Yunbao scolded with a smile, "I just have one request, you run as hard as you can in the finals, don't let go of the water." Whether it's 100m or 200m, I want to run an A standard, and in addition to the relay race, I also want to participate in the individual events at the Olympics. Without the pressure from the two of you, I'm afraid I don't have much hope. ”

After saying that, Shen Yunbao didn't wait for Su Zu and Chen Jian to answer, turned his head and left the lounge.

"Hey, I said, you two are going to release water in the finals and let Shen Yunbao win the championship, that's interesting, I heard that he will retire next year." After Jiang Daheng watched Shen Yunbao leave, he whispered in the ears of the two with a smile.

"Master Jiang, don't joke around, it's not appropriate to be heard." Su Zu looked at Jiang Daheng with an insight into the inside information of your track and field team, and waved his hand.

In fact, in this selection competition, the men's 100 meters two people came to go through the motions, there was already a mark in hand, the coach and the team did not make requirements, and the intensity of training was also high, and it was easy to get injured if they ran too hard.

Su Zu and Chen Jian also discussed it privately, but they couldn't pay attention to it. Everyone is a professional athlete, and there must be sportsmanship.

From the perspective of competitive sports, Su Zu and Chen Jian originally wanted to win all the games. But as a teammate, it is not easy for an athlete to win a few more championships, whether it is to retire and enter the provincial and municipal sports departments at all levels, or to find other jobs, it is somewhat useful.

"What do you think?" Chen Jian leaned on the massage chair and tilted his head and asked.

"Then let's test the effect of our recent relay team training." Su Zu replied with a smile.

If an athlete wants to perform at his or her highest level, in addition to his own strength, the opponents in the same group are also a very important factor. When competing with high-level athletes who are stronger than themselves, as long as they can stabilize their rhythm and not be led away, they can often burst out and run better results.

……

18:30 p.m., Yutong Stadium.

On the track and field, after just competing for the top eight in the women's 100m, the eight runners in the men's 100m final have already stood on the starting line.

Su Zu jumped on the spot twice, gradually adjusting his body to the best state. He was second in the preliminaries and was on the fifth runway, Shen Yunbao was on his left hand side in the fourth lane, and Chen Jian was in the second lane, and he put more in the preliminaries than Su Zu.

"Ready—"

The familiar slogan of the starter sounded.

Su Zu leaned over and lowered his head, his feet on the starting gear, and all distracting thoughts were cleared out of his mind in an instant.

Sprinters compete, in addition to their own technical level and strength talent, there is also a very important ability, which is concentration.

People's emotional ups and downs can easily affect the state of athletes, especially in sprinting competitions, a slight emotional rise and fall may affect the lack of concentration.

At the moment of entering the game, I was able to suppress all the pre-game excitement, depression, anxiety and other different emotions, and my mind was as calm as a calm lake, and the waves were not happy.

"Ready!"

"Smack!"

The starting gun sounds, and the game begins!

In an instant, eight athletes on the starting line rushed out at the same time. Although Su Zu did not press the gun, a lot of starting training and a little reaction quality still had a certain effect, and he was basically not much behind Chen Jian and Shen Yunbao.

With a fast cadence and a strong stride, almost as soon as he reached the position of forty meters, Su Zu had already run to the first place. His new rhythm running style, as training and competition gradually matured, combined with the fast cadence after the agility of the point, the speed of the first half of the big stride acceleration also gradually increased.

After waiting for forty or fifty meters, Su Zu was basically in a state of being in a state of absolute ride, and the gap between him and the people next to him gradually widened, even Chen Jian, who could bite him the most, was thrown away by several positions in this group of finals.

Next to Chen Jian, Shen Yunbao had blue tendons on his forehead, and he was almost trying his best to catch up with the two. The gap between him and Chen Jian is not big, only less than half a body, and the audience next to him seems to be almost neck-and-neck.

Once Su Zu enters the game, he will also go all out and devote himself completely to this time.

After overtaking all the competitors in the same group, there is only the finish line as far as the eye can see.

It's time to cross the line!

10.02 seconds!

On the race timing board next to the finish line, Su Zu ran the first place in the final has come out.

"10.02 seconds, Su Zu, the first place in the men's 100m final, has just broken his own national record of 10.09 seconds, once again creating a new domestic men's sprint history."

When the anchor of the conference saw the appearance of this achievement at this time, he also rang excitedly.

"Didn't make it 10 seconds?!"

Su Zu crossed his waist and took a few heavy breaths, turned around and looked at the results on the timing card, with a little regret. He had already run 9.7 seconds a few times in training, but this final was still a little short.

In the final of this group just now, he felt that he had basically run very well, but probably because of the lack of strong competition in the middle and late stages, even if he kept high speed, he still failed to reach his limit invisibly.

"Su Zu, come on!!"

"Su Zu, it's good!"

But at this point, the spectators on both sides of the stadium shouted loudly, and the media's cameras began to take pictures almost without money.

It's a pity that he didn't break the 10-second mark, but to see Su Zu break his men's 100-meter record again, the ticket price this time is worth it. In an Olympic year, there is a sports front-page news.

Su Zu smiled and stretched out his hand to wave to the audience on the sidelines, and his mood quickly adjusted, although he didn't score 10 seconds, it was always a happy thing to be able to take the first place and refresh his own record.

However, the joy did not last long, and the radio of the conference began to announce the results of the various passes.

“…… the third Chen Jian, 10.20 seconds; Fourth Shen Yunbao, 10.23 ......"

Almost at the moment when the results were announced, Su Zu saw Shen Yunbao, who was holding his knees and panting violently, sitting on the ground with his butt on his back, lying on the runway with his back to the sky.

At the 2004 Athens Olympics, the men's 100m A standard score was 10.21 seconds, and Shen Yunbao was only 0.02 seconds away from qualifying for this A standard.
