Chapter 397: The Last Scene (Finale)
When the four relay members of the Chinese team appeared on the field, and the fourth Chinese team was introduced on the radio of the conference, more than 90,000 spectators cheered in unison, and overwhelming voices sounded, cheering for today's Chinese team, Su Zu and the other three team members.
"Su Zu!" "Come on!"
"Su Zu!" "Come on!"
"Team China!" "Come on!"
β¦β¦
The sound of whistling is like a mountain and a sea.
Standing on the runway of the fourth stick, Su Zu measured his steps as carefully as always, turned around and waved to the spectators on the sidelines.
His position was very close to the stands next to him, and the moment he turned around and waved his hand, there was a warm shout like a mountain and a tsunami.
He is currently the most premier athlete in the country and the brightest star in this Olympic Games.
After winning the men's 1200m double at the 2005 and 2007 World Championships, he once again won two gold medals at the Olympic Games, beating some of the strongest opponents in track and field history.
Everyone is looking forward to his performance in the 4Γ100m, hoping that Suzu can perform another miracle against the strong United States and Jamaica teams.
Although there have been various analyses before the game, whether it is the live competition, or the audience squatting in front of the TV, there are more or less private discussions, whether they understand it or not, almost everyone knows that the men's 4Γ100m is the most favored team of the United States and Jamaica under the guidance of various information.
But in such a field, seeing Chinese athletes appear on the track, everyone still can't help but think, what if?
The reason why a miracle is a miracle is not to create possibility in the impossible?
And with the Jamaican women's relay mistakes ahead, who's to say for sure what will happen when the game actually starts?
After greeting the crowd on the sidelines, Su Zu silently walked back to his relay area, and he did not look at the runners of the other races, but patiently waited for the start of the race.
Most of the time track and field events are fought alone, and the only two team events are 4Γ100m and 4Γ400m, which is a team event, which never tests not only the strength level of oneself, but also the strength of teammates and the tacit understanding between team members.
Facing the United States and Jamaica, the four best sprinters in the world, Bolt, Gay, Gatlin and Powell, it is impossible for him to win in the 4Γ100m event alone.
In the men's 100m and 200m events, Suzu is confident enough to face any challenge, even if he has just reached the peak of the Jamaican Lightning, he is not afraid, he believes that he and Usain Bolt will continue to compete for the men's 1200m sprint championship, and even the entire career will be indispensable to the challenge of Bolt and several others.
But he has proven himself again and again and has built absolute confidence.
Only the 4Γ100m team event can not be won by himself. Not to mention the United States and Jamaica, even the relay teams of other countries such as Trinidad and Tobago and Japan, he is not sure of winning.
This is not a one-man battle, at this time, the only way to believe in your teammates is to believe in them.
And Su Zu is also full of confidence in Zhang Peimeng, Wen Yongyi, and Su Bingtian, just like Chen Jian, Shen Yunbao, and Yang Guangzong during the Athens Olympics that year.
We've been training together for so long, and we've got to know each other very well, which is fundamentally different from the rush of relay teams like the United States and Jamaica, even though they are individually superior.
It's the power of the team.
We know each other, we have relied on, and we have the goal of forging ahead, and we have no fear from then on.
In the past, Powell did not perform well in the individual events of the world-class competition, but when it came to the relay event, he soared like a dragon, and one of the fundamental reasons is that he has a team to rely on.
It's not a lonely fight, it's not a person to bear all the pressure, in the face of opponents, he is no longer alone, which naturally makes up for his psychological shortcomings.
Su Zu stood in the relay area of the fourth baton, waiting quietly. He believes that the teammates in front of him will definitely hand over the baton to him with the fastest speed and the most perfect baton handover action.
β¦β¦
βOn your marksοΌβ
The Bird's Nest National Radio sounded the reminder instructions for everyone to be in place.
The first runner of the eight relay teams, each taking a deep breath or moving his body slightly at the end, followed the starting line.
"Team China!"
"Come on!"
"Team China!"
"Come on!"
In the noisy arena, all of a sudden, the sound of cheering like thunder sounded in all corners of the Bird's Nest Stadium at the same time, and this was the last cheering before the game started.
On the starting line of the corner, eight on-site referees wearing blue shirts and white trousers finally checked the starting posture of all the first runners, and the noise of the whole crowd was instantly reduced, and only the buzzing sound echoed throughout the field.
The hundreds of millions of viewers who are sitting in front of the TV and watching the game are basically unable to hear the current instructions through the broadcast of the TV screen. It's just that through the loud cheers that suddenly came from the TV, I saw the eight runners on the screen walking on the starting gear.
Wen Yongyi took a big gulp, his left hand was inadvertently placed on his chest, and in the deafening applause and cheers in the sky, he only felt that his heart was beating so fast that it seemed to be jumping out of his throat.
In such a big arena, 90,000 people gathered to cheer and cheer, and the feeling of staring at their bodies with burning eyes is indeed making people's hearts sway, and they can't help themselves.
He has seen the big scene of the World Championships, but how can it compare to today, in the Olympic Games, in the Bird's Nest, under the attention of the people of the whole country.
From the excitement before the game to the actual entry into the stadium, the kind of sound like substance, players of different skin colors, and referees in blue and white uniforms constantly reminded him that this is the real top arena, a stadium that athletes dream of.
And here he is now.
With his feet on the starting gear, Wen Yongyi slowly squatted down to keep his body still.
"Steady, steady!"
With another long breath of turbidity, Wen Yongyi finally adjusted his emotions, he had already run a preliminary race yesterday, and everyone performed well, but today's final is the real test.
"Relax, Wen Yongyi, you can do it!"
He silently cheered himself up in his heart, and he couldn't run the Olympic A standard in the 100 meters, which was his biggest regret, and occasionally even thought that if Su Zu was not there, maybe his B standard score would also be able to participate.
But such an idea, after all, is just a thought.
Taking a step back, even if he participates, it is likely that he may not even have a chance to enter the second round of the rematch.
But the relay race is different, with Su Zu, the Chinese men's 4Γ100m relay team can win the championship in the 04 Athens Olympics, and the top eight in the 05 and 07 World Championships are also at the level of the top eight.
Today at the Bird's Nest, they have a chance.
βSETοΌβ
Ready slogans sounded.
Wen Yongyi's body almost subconsciously began to stand up with the sound of the password, and the muscles of his whole body tensed slightly, like a bow and arrow that had been fully wounded, waiting for the moment when it was about to shoot out.
Syllable!
A crisp gunshot rang out through the Bird's Nest Stadium, and the audience quietly watched all the spectators on the starting line of the curve boiling instantly.
Countless viewers in front of the TV suddenly jumped up from their beds, sofas, chairs, stools and other positions, their muscles tensed, and their eyes stared motionlessly at the pictures on the broadcast TV.
Su Zu, who was in the fourth stick position, suddenly trembled slightly the moment he heard the gunshot.
Although he is not the first runner, the habit of gunfire developed in long-term competitions makes him subconsciously react when he hears the gunshots when he is ready to start running.
"It's game on! The start of the Chinese team, Wen Yongyi's speed is very fast, and Wen Yongyi's start should not lose to other opponents......"
In Yang Jian's commentary, Wen Yongyi almost at the moment when the gun rang out, his feet suddenly stepped on the starting gear, suddenly started to accelerate, and galloped out.
The first runners of the eight relay teams are of different levels, and Wen Yongyi has been able to run a personal best of 10.28 seconds this year, but except for the United States team and the Jamaican team, the difference in the strength of the other first runners is not large.
For example, Trinidad and Tobago's No. 1 Brightman ran a personal best of 9.86 seconds in 2012, but his level was only around 10.30 seconds. Lima, the first veteran of the Brazilian team, is also between 10.20 and 10.30 seconds in the 100m, and the other players are slightly higher and lower, but there is not much difference between them.
As soon as Wen Yongyi rushed out of the starting line, it was completely the biggest desperate posture.
He was the fourth, and his eyes easily caught Jamaica's Nesta Carter in lane 5 and USA's Walter Dicks in lane six, both of whom had a very fast start.
But in the first 60 meters, Wen Yongyi bit the two tightly, and he was able to run a first-class time of 6.59 seconds in the first 60 meters, and at this stage, few of the other seven relay teams in the field were able to leave him behind.
But as soon as the 60m passed, Wen Yongyi began to feel the gap with Nesta Carter and Walter Dix, and the number of stretches brought by the start of the corner gradually shortened with the run, but the distance between him and the two runners did not close.
However, sixty meters have passed, and it is not far from the relay area.
Curves into straights.
Wen Yongyi is almost completely risking his life.
From the beginning of entering the national team, from the beginning of entering the relay team, he cherished this identity of his own.
From entering the sports school when he was a teenager to standing on the highest stage today, outsiders may not know what he has experienced, but he knows very well that he is not easy.
He was never the protagonist of the 100-meter race, and it was only in 2002 that he switched from the long jump to the sprint because his height was an obstacle to his long jump performance, and after the switch, he also read a long period of discomfort.
It's just that everyone's road will not be smooth, and he doesn't need to talk about this.
In the national relay team, he is also the most taciturn, and he has always been just silently doing his part.
However, this never means that he is not enterprising and competitive!
He wants to win, he wants a medal, he wants a gold medal!
Seventy meters, eighty meters, ninety meters......
He locked on to Nesta Carter and Walter Dicks in the fifth and sixth lanes, doing everything he could not get pulled away by the two.
The relay area was already in sight, and in front of him, he clearly saw Zhang Peimeng's figure, and the other party was starting to start and accelerate!
"Pick it up!"
As soon as he entered the relay area, Wen Yongyi shouted out the word like thunder.
The moment Zhang Peimeng heard Wen Yongyi's voice behind him, he suddenly stretched out his hand back, and he didn't need to look back to see where his teammates were, and the baton fell steadily in his hands.
This is the tacit cooperation after thousands of trainings, even if you eat in the cafeteria, go out to ride in the car, and chat in the dormitory, occasionally everyone will cooperate with each other to hold a baton to do action drills, and constantly improve.
The baton handover is swift and efficient, just like a person.
The U.S.'s Walter Dix and Jamaica's Nesta Carter overtook Wen Yongyi in the second half of the first baton, and the two entered the relay zone earlier than the Chinese team, but they didn't have much of the time to get the baton off and finish the start and rush out.
The handover between the Jamaican and American teams was completed almost simultaneously.
When Zhang Peimeng successfully got the baton and started to rush out of the relay area, Michael Flatt of the Jamaican team in the fifth lane and Justin Gatlin of the American team in the sixth lane also got the baton and began to accelerate.
At this time, the first and second baton of Trinidad and Tobago in the third lane had just been handed over, and Mark Burns also began to accelerate quickly after getting the baton. In the other passes, the Japanese team's first baseman, Naoki Tsukahara, and Shingo Suesu, also had a perfect baton.
The eight relay teams were not at the same level as the first runner, with Jamaica and the United States being the fastest, followed by Trinidad and Tobago, followed by Japan and China.
However, after the five relay teams completed the handover of the first and second batons, the Chinese team won the third place after the Jamaican team and the United States team.
Zhang Peimeng held the baton in his hand, and in his ears was "Come on!" In the hustle and bustle, an unprecedented sense of excitement is constantly climbing, stirring, and filling the chest.
Before the gunshots rang out in the race, he was nervous, proud, proud, and fearful, all kinds of emotions mixed together, and he was also a member of the relay team, and he was more stressed than Wen Yongyi and Su Bingtian.
He has participated in more large-scale events except for Su Zu, and the team also takes a fancy to his talent, thinking that he should have a chance to run into the 10-second mark in the next few years.
In the 200m event a few days ago, he had a chance to go further, not to mention the final, but at least there was a chance for the rematch. It's a pity that he himself was too nervous, under the attention of 90,000 people, the psychological pressure was too great, and he couldn't perform well, and after hearing the starting gun, he seemed to feel that his hands and feet were stiff, and he didn't know how to run.
He was stunned for a while after leaving the game, he didn't know why he was so nervous, which affected his performance.
But either way, the relay race won't work!
It's not a game of his own, it's a game of four!
Every time is extremely important, he can't let the Chinese team lose a big advantage because of himself!
He must bring out the best in his own state to run!
If it's just me, I don't care if I win or lose, it doesn't matter if others scold me for having a bad mentality, it's my own game!
That's not going to work, there are my friends in this arena, there are my brothers, and there are countless days and nights of training together!
Since 05 years into the national team, participated in the World Championships in Helsinki, participated in the World Championships in Osaka, and finally, everyone waited until today in Beijing, in the Bird's Nest to participate in the Olympic Games!
I can't live up to the sweat I have left on this runway for myself and you!
I've been running for so many years, I've been practicing for so many years, isn't it for today?!
Spelled.
on the straight.
At this time, the second runner of the eight relay teams showed unparalleled speed.
In the sprint event, in the corner stage, because of the number of forward stretches and the unclear contrast, many times the audience cannot see which competitor is stronger and runs faster.
But on the straight, everything is clear at a glance.
Team USA, sixth lane Justin Gatlin is incredibly fast and is pulling away from Michael Flatt in lane 5 who is closing in on him at high speed.
Due to the number of stretches before the start, at the start of the straight, the Canadian team in lane 9 was at the top, then the Dutch team in lane 8, and the Japanese team in lane 7, and they were ranked in order of lane.
However, after the handover of the first and second bats, the distance has been greatly reduced, and the Japanese team in the seventh lane has almost tied with the Dutch team, and is chasing the Canadian team frantically.
And the U.S. team in the sixth lane, Justin Gatlin, at this time, is even more crazy to close the gap with Shingo Sueji on the straight.
50 meters, 60 meters, 70 meters......
By the time they reached 80 meters, Justin Gatlin was neck and neck with Shingo Sueji in lane seven, with only lane nine in front of the two and less than a meter ahead of the Canadian team in lane nine.
And the distance is being shortened at a rapid pace.
Justin Gatling's steel teeth clenched, and his running position, which was very different from many other competitors, was increased to the highest speed, and his strong hip delivery ability allowed him to stride on both legs.
He doesn't want to lose!
It was the most important fight since his comeback.
The champion of the last Athens Olympics, in this Olympics, he did not even make it to the top three!
The strong unwillingness in his heart has been tormenting him and inspiring him!
"Justin Gatlin, men's 100m world record holder!"
The self-encouragement banner that had been hanging since college was not removed even during the days of his ban.
This is his goal, his dream!
And this time in the Olympics, he failed to achieve this major honor!
He knew he could only save it for a later opportunity!
But he didn't want to go home empty-handed!
The arena is where he belongs, and it is the place he loves the most!
Compete with powerful opponents and defeat them, that's what he's passionate about!
However, in this Olympic Games, the opponents faced were so strong, so strong that they almost made people desperate!
But he never gives up!
As discussed with Tyson Gay before the race, they are well aware of the challenges they face in the 1200m event and are likely to lose, and the only chance is in the men's 4Γ100m team event!
He wants a gold medal!
Whether it's individual or collective, as long as it's an Olympic gold medal, he wants it!
"Ahh
On Gatling's neck and forehead, the muscles of his whole body swelled to the extreme!
He's going to be the first to finish the second one, and he's going to give the U.S. team more advantage!!
Similarly, Michael Flatt, the second batter of the Jamaican team in the fifth lane, and Justin Gatlin, the second batter of the strong American team, were also pulled apart, but not too much.
He's also the top player, and even if there is a gap in strength, he won't be completely crushed by Gatling's speed like the others.
Zhang Peimeng bit Michael Flatt who was running in front, and his goal was the same as Wen Yongyi before, which was clear and clear, that is, not to be too disadvantaged by others.
The gap between the first baton Wen Yongyi and the other players has been made up by the two of them by handing over the baton perfectly in the relay area.
Now he has to desperately stabilize his position, don't be pulled too far, and then in the handover of the second and third sticks, he will make up for the lost time through the tacit super-high baton handover technology.
In the national team, whether it is Yuan Guohua or Li Zhizhong or his former coach Coach Lu Qing, they will say, "Zhang Peimeng, you are still young, you have great potential, train hard, you will have greater achievements!" β
But I don't want to, I don't want to go on!
As long as I'm on the track, on the track, I want to run the best time of my life right now!
It's been too long in the future, I can't see that far, and I don't think that far!
We, seize the day, only race against the clock!
Su Bingtian leaned over to make a starting gesture, and did not cast the slightest glance at Justin Gatlin, who quickly rushed past him, only the figure of Zhang Peimeng getting closer and closer in his sight.
When Zhang Peimeng's left foot landed on the step point he had just measured, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his whole body suddenly entered the acceleration stage of the explosion from stationary.
Without a runner, the first two steps would have been 100 meters slower than his run, but in this relay zone, with his fast cadence, it was enough.
One step, two steps, three steps......
Su Bingtian felt that his speed was increasing rapidly, he didn't look back at Zhang Peimeng's position from the start, nor did he slow down, he knew that Zhang Peimeng would arrive at the most appropriate time, when his speed was about to enter the highest speed!
"Pick it up!"
A voice suddenly sounded behind him, and Su Bingtian's right hand, which was speeding up and swinging his arm, almost followed the sound of the sound, and leaned back.
The baton fell steadily in his hand, with a bit of humidity and warmth, which was the heat and sweat of the palms of the first two sticks Wen Yongyi and Zhang Peimeng who held too tightly.
Now, it's my turn!
Su Bingtian didn't know what his teammates in the first two sticks had now, he didn't think about things that were too profound, and his mind was simpler and purer than others.
All he wanted was to run well and race well.
Before the start of the game, he repeatedly recalled how fast Zhang Peimeng should start after he ran to the step point, and what kind of baton handover posture he should use to take over the baton!
These are all things that have been practiced over and over again in ordinary times, as if they were engraved in the brain and imprinted in the bones.
When he watched Su Zu and them compete on TV, he didn't think that he would have the opportunity to walk on this highest stage so soon, when he was in the sports school, all he thought about at that time was to run faster, or if only he could have the opportunity to compete with Su Zu and them!
And now, many of the things he once dreamed of have come true, and he has more pursuits.
What his enlightenment coach Coach Ning said a few years ago, he has always remembered that the game is one game after another, don't think about anything else, stand on the track, then run with all your might, good results are not suddenly obtained, but accumulated in training day after day.
Go all out and make all your preparations to meet the challenge.
Just be prepared and run!
"It's game on! The start of the Chinese team, Wen Yongyi's speed is very fast, Wen Yongyi's start should not lose to other opponents, let's take a look at the handover of one or two sticks, it is very perfect, Zhang Peimeng successfully got the baton in Wen Yongyi's hand, and the speed was not thrown away by other teams. Jamaica and the United States are pulling out and taking the lead, and the two teams are scorching together......"
The audience in front of the TV, almost after the players of the eight relay teams started instantly, heard the on-site commentator Yang Jian quickly explain the situation of the live game.
The third stick, straight into the corner.
With little difference in the strength of the first bat, the U.S. team took the lead in reaching the relay zone of the second and third bats with the strong strength of Justin Gatlin's second bat.
Tyson Gay got the baton ahead of Usain Bolt.
The U.S. and Jamaica teams are not very skilled in handing over the baton, relying on strong individual strength, and it is important to note that both the U.S. and Jamaica teams are more cautious about handing over the baton than they have been in the past.
Tyson Gay had a baton experience with Leonard Scott at the 2005 World Championships, while Jamaica lost less than an hour before their strongest women's 4Γ100m relay team.
This is a lesson from the past.
In such a top-level relay race, if the baton handover is not smooth, and the time is delayed by one or two seconds, there is basically no need to think about the champion, or even the top three. If there is a drop, it means that it is even more out.
Be cautious and be safe!
This is the game strategy that the United States and Jamaica team have developed before the game!
After Tyson Gay and Justin Gatlin completed the baton handover, Michael Flatt had also arrived and handed the baton to Usain Bolt.
He was second only to Gatling in the second of the eight runners, and he was just as fast as he was on the straight!
The third team to complete the baton handover was Triny and Tobago, Mark Burns was not much slower than Michael Flatt, he was also under 10 seconds, but the slight gap in the first baton also continued in the second. However, he still managed to stay in third place with his teammate Hylander.
In fourth place, Shingo Sueji of the Japanese team, Viana of the Brazilian team and Zhang Peimeng of the Chinese team, the three relay teams completed the handover of the second and third bats almost at the same time.
Zhang Peimeng's speed is slightly slower than that of the Japanese team and the Brazilian team, but he and Su Bingtian cooperate more perfectly, and at the moment of handing over the baton, he made up for a lot of time!
Usain Bolt had his sights set on Tyson Gay from the start, and he started one position slower than Tyson Gay.
The first batter Jamaica and the U.S. team are evenly matched, but the second batter Justin Gatlin is too strong, which he had expected in advance, but in the third and fourth bats, that is the strongest player in Jamaica!
Above the corner, thirty meters ahead, Tyson Gay maintained the lead, but after thirty meters, Bolt's acceleration was sufficient, and Superman's absolute speed was reflected at this time.
He's chasing Tyson Gay!
The distance between the two is getting closer!
"The third stick!" Yang Jian's voice suddenly rose high, almost like his throat was about to burst, "Tyson Gay got the baton before Usain Bolt, and the two are speeding up. Usain Bolt broke out!! He's chasing frantically!!
β¦β¦ Su Bingtian! The baton between Su Bingtian and Zhang Peimeng is also very smooth, the fastest among all the relay teams, he is running towards the fourth baton, and the fourth baton in front is Su Zu!! β
Su Bingtian, who is still young and immature, has a big gap compared with Bolt and Tyson Gay in his peak, but he entered the national team early and has a more perfect training system to improve his performance rapidly!
His shortcomings are the same as Wen Yongyi's, the speed in the second half of the race has dropped significantly, but in the first half, in the first fifty or sixty meters, he is still a very competitive player.
Especially with Zhang Peimeng's tacit cooperation, Zhang Peimeng was still ranked fifth when he entered the relay area, but when he completed the baton, Su Bingtian had already reached the fourth place.
Synchronized with the Japanese team to complete the baton handover, second only to the United States team, Jamaica team, Trinidad and Tobago team!
β¦β¦
Even if he didn't bother to pay attention to the other competitors in his sight, the first thing he saw around the corner of the corner was Usain Bolt and Tyson Gay, who were coming at full speed.
Standing in lane four, he couldn't tell exactly who was faster in lane five or Tyson Gay in lane six, but it was a head-on collision between Jamaica and the United States' strongest third baton.
Tyson Gay bit his lip tightly and stepped forward with his legs at a rapid pace, increasing his speed to the extreme.
But even so, he felt a tremendous pressure like never before!
Usain Bolt is constantly chasing after him at an astonishing speed on the inside, and is constantly closing the distance between the two!
Last year, he was able to beat opponents in the 200m, and this year Usain Bolt's explosive strength stunned everyone's attention.
He was the third for the U.S. and Usain Bolt was the third for Jamaica, and he knew that if he couldn't secure enough of an advantage on that bat, it would be difficult for the U.S. to win.
"Daddy, will I be the daughter of a champion?"
"Tyson Gay, you're going to be the top sprinter on the planet!"
"No. 1 in the country, what's next for you? No. 1 in the world?! β
"American flag, he is the hero who carried the American sprint banner after Gatlin fell silent!"
Countless thoughts rolled wildly through his mind for a moment, and he didn't scan the Bolt beside him to see if he had surpassed him, he focused all his attention on the relay area that was about to arrive, where Rodney Martin had already turned his head and began to bury his head in acceleration!
Bolt's eyes haven't been taken off Tyson Gay since he got the baton.
This is one of his strongest rivals, having already beaten each other in the 100m and 200m this year, and the shadow of defeat at last year's World Championships in Osaka has completely dissipated with his meteoric surge and victory.
He can beat Guy, he runs fast!
Thirty meters, forty meters, fifty meters......
He and Tyson Gay are getting closer!!
Both of them are 200m runners, and acceleration in corners is their forte, but Bolt feels like he needs to be faster!
"Hey, VJ, you don't want to go to one Olympics and go home with two silver medals, right?"
Don't want to!
Be sure to win!
As long as I catch up with Tyson Gay, then Asafa won't let me down in the final shot!
The corners are getting into the straights, the relay zone is getting closer, and he can already see Powell starting to accelerate with his world-famous explosive start!
"Asafa Powell, go ahead and get this all-important gold medal back for us!"
β¦β¦
It's about to be the handover of the third and fourth sticks!
Several cameras on the scene constantly adjusted the focus and firmly locked the relay area near the curve into the straight, three or four sticks.
Tyson Gay and Usain Bolt entered the relay area almost at the same time, and Justin Gatlin's advantage in the second run gradually came back with Bolt's strong individual strength.
There was not much difference between the two teams from the first bat, Gatlin had a slight advantage in the second bat, and in the third bat, Bolt relied on his strong individual strength, and even Tyson Gay could not prevent him from pulling the two teams back to the same starting line again.
The first three sticks are in a state of the most anxious bite, and at this moment, the competition is the fourth stick!
The U.S. team with Gatlin and Guy is even better than the U.S. team led by Carl Lewis sixteen years ago to set a world record!
But Jamaica's fourth stick is faster and stronger!
That's Asafa Powell!
Suzu didn't focus on Guy and Usain Bolt for long, followed by other athletes who followed them, Trinidad and Tobago's Highlander, and Japan's Shinshi Takahira...... and Su Bingtian of the Chinese team!!
Many sprinters rushed straight forward, and the kind of violent frontal impact made everyone watching the audience tremble lightly.
The United States is handing over the baton, Jamaica is handing over the baton, Trinidad and Tobago is handing over the baton, and Japan is handing over the baton, and the ...... It's the Chinese team!
In the Bird's Nest Stadium, in the stands on several floors, 80,000 or 90,000 Chinese spectators erupted in unprecedented cheers and cheers!
Su Zu turned around, buried his head, started, and accelerated the moment Su Bingtian entered the step point!
All the movements were the same as he had done in training.
In 2008, he barely competed in many competitions and spent most of his time living and training with the relay team!
Boring, repetitive, enclosed in a small circle.
But everyone did not complain at all, everyone knew very well that it was for this day, for this relay final!
All the games, I want to win, we all want to win!
But winning is never just talking, it takes hard practice and accumulation day after day, and it takes countless days and nights to constantly improve one's skills under the wind and rain and scorching sun!
No one is born to run fast, no matter how talented he is, if he doesn't have this boiling process, he can't achieve extraordinary!
The footsteps are getting faster and more messy!
Su Zu knew that it was the moment when the baton was handed over, the fourth baton player of each team was starting, and the third baton player was slowing down, and he firmly stabilized his rhythm.
Years of competition and championship after championship have made him face no situation and no one will lose his temper.
"Pick it up!"
At the moment when Su Zu's speed was rising, a voice sounded behind his ears.
Su Zu suddenly stretched out his hand backwards, and the baton landed firmly in his palm!
Efficient, perfect and flawless!
The moment Su Zu got the baton, he suddenly looked up, and in front of him, Powell of the Jamaican team and Rodney Martin, the fourth baseman of the American team, had completely entered the high speed, leaving the others far behind!
From the first baton to the second and third baton with absolutely strong strength, even if there is a perfect baton handover technique, under such a strength gap, it is completely impossible to catch up with these two powerful relay teams.
At this time, in addition to the already far ahead of Jamaica and the United States, Richard Thompson of Trinidad and Tobago and Nobuharu Asahara, the last baton of Japan, both completed the baton handover before Suzu.
Even the Brazilian team in the second lane almost completed the handover of the baton after Suzu completed the handover, and then completed the handover of three or four batons together!
The moment Su Bingtian completed the handover of the baton, he discovered the disadvantage that Su Zu was in, and he could clearly see the figures of the Jamaican team and the United States team rushing out, and the Trinidad and Tobago team and the Japanese team next to him were also faster.
At that moment, he looked at Su Zu's figure rushing out, and many thoughts flashed in his heart!
Although the relay skills were very good, his third baton was still pulled away by other competitors!
If only I could be faster!
He noticed the look in Su Zu's eyes as he finally turned his head and began to accelerate!
Everything has me!
β¦β¦
"Come on!"
Su Zu looked at the Jamaican team and the American team, which had a huge lead in front of him, and did not flinch in the slightest!
The race field is like a battlefield, as long as he stands on the runway, no matter the advantages or disadvantages, he will rush directly to the finish line!
The audience cheered again!
Su Zu, start to catch up with the opponents of the other paths!
As soon as he came out of the corner, Su Zu burst out at a speed like a cannonball, and like a red lightning bolt, sweeping across the field.
The top speed of the men's 100 meters is vividly reflected at this moment!
On the straight road, the audience, whether it is live or in front of the TV, is in a frenzy at the moment!
As soon as he entered the straight, Suzu got rid of Brazil's Covia and Canada's Pierre Brown, who started at the same time as him.
Twenty meters, Su Zu overtook Senji Asahara, who had started earlier than him, and quickly approached Richard Thompson.
Forty meters, Su Zu ran to the third position!
In front of him are Rodney Martin and Asafa Powell.
ββ¦β¦ Su Zu successfully got the baton, Su Zu is chasing, Su Zu, Su Zu come on!! β
Yang Jian, the on-site commentator, had already stood up at some point, and like all the other audiences, he had forgotten that he seemed to be explaining, shouting loudly, and cheering for Su Zu with all his might!!
That's right, that's it!
The people who had watched Su Zu's race were shouting again at this moment, and Su Zu's performance at this time was the same as the relay race he had run before.
That kind of last-come, first-come, powerful sense of speed impact detonated everyone's adrenaline hormones almost instantly.
Excited, nervous, and bloody!
Before the finish line.
Three figures roared past one after another, like a whirlwind rolling up on the flat ground!!
ββ¦β¦ 37.10!! The Jamaican team has broken the world record set by the American team sixteen years ago!! β
At the moment when Su Zu flew across the finish line, Yang Jian shouted again, "Third!!" Third!!! The Chinese team won the bronze medal in the men's 4Γ100m relay!! Wen Yongyi, Zhang Peimeng, Su Bingtian, and Su Zu won the bronze medal!! Glory to Asia!! β
ββ¦β¦ The performance of the Chinese team is already impeccable and unprecedented! In 37.65 seconds, they set a new Asian record and a new peak history of the Chinese team! Since the Chinese relay team won the gold medal at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, we have repeatedly witnessed the growth of China's sprinting events. There is no doubt that the Chinese team performed very well today, and did not show weakness against the strong Jamaican team and the United States......"
Before the finish line, Su Zu gasped and looked up at the results on the big screen at the scene:
1. Fifth lane, Jamaica team, 37.08 seconds;
2. Sixth lane, Team USA, 37.38 seconds;
3. The fourth lane, the Chinese team, the result is 37.65 seconds;
4. Lane 3, Trinidad and Tobago, 38.01 seconds,
5. Lane 7, Team Japan, 38.15 seconds;
6. The second lane, Brazil, 38.24 seconds;
7. Lane 9, Team Canada, 38.66 seconds;
8. Lane 8, Netherlands, 45.81 seconds;
"It's over!"
Looking at the results of the Chinese team that appeared, Su Zu breathed a long sigh of relief.
The Olympics, which had been prepared for so long, finally came to an end after this one.
Su Zu was a little disappointed that China failed to win the championship, but this is a competitive game, and in the face of the gap in strength, sometimes he has to realize his own shortcomings.
37.65 seconds, there is no doubt that this is a new record high created by the Chinese team, but compared with the perverted Jamaican team and the United States team, there is still a big gap in this strength.
The arena is like a battlefield, and it is impossible to rely on the negligence of the opponent every time and win! Being able to run this result was already a great surprise to Su Zu.
The tens of thousands of Chinese spectators in the audience finally crossed the finish line for a brief moment of silence, followed by enthusiastic applause and cheers.
All the people who are watching the game have two emotions of loss and pride in their hearts at this moment.
The disappointment is that the Chinese team failed to perform a miracle and win the championship in the end!
The pride is that the fighting spirit of the Chinese team in this competition has infected everyone present!
"Team China!"
"Come on!"
"Team China!"
"Come on!"
ββ¦β¦ The audience once again cheered for the Chinese team, although they failed to win the championship, but the bronze medal of the Chinese team also has absolute weight. Their performance has been perfected, and every baton handover is meticulous and completed at the highest speeds...... This is also a sign that the Chinese team has entered the world's top team, and after this game, we believe that in the next World Championships, Olympic Games and other major competitions, the Chinese team will be the strongest competitor of Jamaica and the United States! β
When Yang Jian cheered again, he explained the performance of the Chinese team in detail, and the camera cameras on the scene were constantly switched, including the replay of the baton handover of each team of Fangcai, the slow shot of finally crossing the finish line, and the picture of the athletes from all countries wearing national flags, shaking hands with each other and saluting each other at this moment on the field, and signaling to the audience.
Suddenly, just as the camera was focused on the Chinese team, a figure dressed in white appeared in the camera.
In the Bird's Nest Stadium, Su Zu was draped in a red flag and was signaling to the audience along the runway, when suddenly the crowd in his direction was in a commotion.
Su Zu followed the direction of the sound, and a figure with a ponytail flipped over the advertising baffle and ran towards him.
In the eyes of tens of thousands of viewers, in the pictures broadcast by TV stations all over the world.
The spotlight twinkles like stars.
"Hi Sue!"
