Chapter 123: The Final Begins
In the evening, Pudong Yuanshen Gymnasium.
Tonight's track schedule is from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m., with the men's and women's 400m heats, followed by the women's 10,000m final at 7 p.m. At 19:50, the women's 100m final ended, and then the men's 100m final began.
As the highlight of the first day of the National Athletics Championships, tonight's men's and women's 100m finals still attracted some spectators and athletes from other events.
In fact, in the current domestic general championship Grand Prix and other events, except for some special factors, most of the time the audience who come to watch the game is still limited.
Yuanshen Gymnasium has 3,000 fixed grandstand seats and 2,000 event grandstand seats, but the audience is only about one-tenth, excluding the athletes and coaches of each participating team, there are only three or four hundred people, which is a real track and field enthusiast.
Su Zu participated in the most spectatorial competitions, which were the National Track and Field Championships in Siping County, Jiangnan Province last year, and a National Middle School Games. These two games were held in a county-level city at the doorstep of the national games, and the people spontaneously supported them. The other is that a large number of students are more concerned about this.
In an ordinary Grand Prix or indoor race, it is good to have a few hundred spectators. Of course, this is also related to the fact that the current domestic track and field events are generally cold, and there are no heavyweight star athletes. In the years after 04, there are stadiums with short span events, and there is still a certain amount of heat.
Inside, LED lights and metal halide lamps shine brightly as if it were daytime.
Standing in front of the starting line, eight top athletes in the domestic 100-meter sprint stood according to their respective paths and were making the final preparations before the race.
The names of the athletes and the teams on each track were reported on the radio. The first is Liu Dapeng, the second is Hangchao, the third is Shen Yunbao, the fourth is Chen Jian, the fifth is Su Zu, the sixth is Yang Guangzong, the seventh is He Jun, and the eighth is Wang Peng.
Looking at the several runners facing the starting line on the 100-meter track, except for Shen Yunbao, who is relatively short in height and looks stronger. Several of the final sprinters were slender and thin in terms of size. Including Su Zu at this time, due to the reduction of body fat and muscle density, his current height looks relatively thin in the eyes of most people, but the muscle lines are more obvious, and he looks a little more lean.
Not only domestic, but also yellow sprinters are not particularly muscular types. Even after more than ten years, the domestic sprint event has made some progress, and there is still a certain gap in body size and muscle compared with the black European and American runners in the men's sprint event.
At 20 o'clock, the men's 100-meter final of the National Track and Field Championships will start immediately.
After a series of preparatory activities such as the test run before and after the track, the starter began to signal all the athletes to return to the starting line and take their positions.
"This game depends on the performance of Chen Jian and Su Zu."
Yu Liwei held a hamburger in his hand and sat in the audience closest to the arena, staring motionlessly at the starting line of the 100-meter final.
"You haven't eaten that night?" Lu Jianming glanced at Yu Liwei, and his gaze fell back to the arena.
"There's a coordination meeting on the organiser's side, and I'll have to see how it goes. I didn't just run after this was done. Yu Liwei took a bite of the burger and said nonchalantly.
"Lao Yu, this body is your own, you have to pay attention."
"Eating is a big deal. Lao Lu, I think it will be a little difficult for Su Zu to win the 100-meter championship in the National Championships. Chen Jian is in good shape this year, twenty-two or three years old, and his grades are in the explosive stage. Although it may be difficult to adapt to the two competitions abroad, it is not ideal, but China is still his main battlefield. I was staring at the results of the preliminaries. ”
Lu Jianming followed the topic brought up by Yu Liwei, and his expression was also a little solemn: "I also heard that Chen Jian's state broke out this year, and you have the training records reported by various coaches in your hand, which should be clearer than I know." Su Zu's words, from last year's youth training to March and April this year, his results have improved a little, but in general, it is not as much as the progress he made when he was in Hedao before. Sometimes I wonder if I'm not good enough, you see he ran much better in the preliminaries than before. Chen Jian's words, heh, losing to Su Zu is not like this twice. ”
"Athletes, there are ups and downs, and it's normal to get stuck in a bottleneck to a certain extent. Chen Jian was stuck for a period of time from 01 to 02, until the beginning of this year's training, and his results were improved. However, this training is training, and it would be wonderful to be able to maintain this form into the game. Well, the morning preliminaries were good, and the results were ......."
Yu Liwei didn't say anything more in the second half of the sentence, 10.19 seconds, this result is already the best results in domestic track and field, if it is a little faster, it will be perfect.
……
"This championship is really a bit boring, the audience is only like that. Let's report on an amateur league, at least now the provincial and municipal preliminaries are still a little bit interesting. Brother Jiang, you said that the editor-in-chief asked us to come to this track and field competition, did you send us out? ”
Next to the track and field field, two reporters with media passes around their necks and cameras in their hands are looking for a place to take pictures. One of them, a young man in his early twenties, looked at the somewhat empty stadium, completely unable to cheer up, and sighed again and again.
"Lin Bang, you don't say a few words, okay? This is the National Track and Field Championships, a high-standard competition, if no one comes to the scene to report, will it be the same as before to reprint the news of other families? ”
Jiang Haoping looked at the newcomers arranged for him to bring by the club, and he was really helpless. The field is not active, the writing is poor, there is no news sensitivity at all, and he complains at every turn.
I don't know where the relationship came from, why don't you use your brain to think about it, as the current sports newspaper with the largest circulation in China, doesn't the National Track and Field Championships send reporters to cover the competition at this level? If you go to other people's news, you won't be afraid of being laughed at?!
Although its newspaper started with football, and most of its readers are fans, since it dares to name the word "sports", there must be all kinds of sports events.
"Reprint it, reprint it, what's the big deal. Our newspaper started with football, although it is now a little more widespread, but the people who read our newspaper are fans, and a few of them care about these track and field and weightlifting or something, and it is not the Olympics. ”
Lin Bang pouted, as a new reporter who prides himself on being a fan, he feels that these track and field competitions are really nothing to see, just a few times to come and go, it is better to let him report on an amateur league, at least the two sides play against each other, and the game is quite fun.
"If you don't understand, don't be foolish, and remember to take some better photos later, which will probably be used later." It's a pity, I heard that Liu Yangyu went to participate in the IAAF Golden League, but he was not in this National Championships, otherwise he could have taken a few more photos for the front page. Jiang Haoping sighed a little, he is very familiar with the dynamics of domestic track and field in recent years, and Liu Yangyu's results in several competitions are already at the level of top international athletes. It looks like a rising sports star, but it's a pity that I haven't met a few times and interviewed people.
"Brother Jiang, I know the 110-meter hurdles, but who are you talking about Liu Yangyu?" After being reprimanded by Jiang Haoping, Lin Bang, the young man, was not angry, with a dead face, but asked.
"If you don't know you, just take a good picture later, you're at the starting line, I'm at the finish line, capturing the moment the athletes start. Well, be careful, don't point the flash at the athlete, got it? ”
Jiang Haoping pointed out a few precautions for shooting, and he had already put out his thoughts about taking this newcomer well.
This is not a person who wants to be a journalist or a sports media at all, it is purely a fan who fools around and joins a magazine to watch football games in various places through this position.
Watching Lin Bang swagger to the media area on the side of the starting line, Jiang Haoping shook his head, cleaned up his mood, raised the camera in his hand, and prepared to shoot the wonderful moments of several groups of runners crossing the finish line.
The final of the men's 100m at the National Track and Field Championships is about to begin!
