Run Out of My Life

"In the men's 100-meter trapeze final held at 4 am today, Chinese sprinter Su Zu won the 100-meter bronze medal historically, which is also the first Asian to break the 10-second mark. Athlete, and the first Asian athlete to win a medal in the Olympic 100m..."

"A historic breakthrough, the birth of the Asian trapeze. Our sprinter, the national record holder, won the bronze medal in the 100-meter event at the Olympic Games..."

“In the sprint event dominated by European and American players, Chinese athletes made a historic break, becoming the first non-black to enter the final and win a medal…”

"The 17-year-old Ronghai teenager won the third place in the 100m with an amazing time of 9.90 seconds. The gap between him and the champion Justin Gatlin is only 16% of a second."

"The Chinese men's track and field sprint event is on the rise. In the men's 100-meter final held early this morning, the Chinese athlete Su Zu, who ran the 10-second mark in the rematch, once again created 9 in the final. With a good score of 90 seconds, he won the third place in the men's 100m final. This bronze medal is no less than the gold medals in other events. It is reported that Su Zu will also participate in the men's 200m event at the Olympic Games tomorrow afternoon, as well as in the subsequent Olympic Games. The men's 4x100m relay event, so stay tuned."

"...Su Zu's sudden emergence in this Olympic Games, it is reported that outside Su Zu, in the men's 110-meter hurdles event held on August 24, the short-span star Liu Yangyu, who has broken many records will compete."

The morning of August 23rd in China.

Almost the vast majority of Chinese people are turning on TV, radio, all kinds of news about the world, first time, morning news, and other programs on central and local stations are broadcasting this good news.

In the short news, there is also a edited picture of Su Zu finally crossing the line with three American sprinters.

He became a household name in time, and he was still in Athens, but he was already a veritable sports star.

This is also because of the bronze medal. With the bonus of breaking the 10 mark and various historical breakthroughs, if you get the gold medal, it is estimated that the popularity will almost have to be turned over.

Similarly, not only in China, but also in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea, there are actually many news newspapers reporting last night's battle, but compared with European and American media, the focus is mainly on last night On the champion Justin Gatlin, and then broken for Maurice Green's consecutive championship dreams, and sympathy for Obikveru being sent off and so on.

There is also news about Suzu, but relatively much less, the first non-black athlete to break 10 seconds has some significance, but not the gold medal is far more than a sensation. However, it can be regarded as entering the attention of the international mainstream sports world.

.

Although I paid attention in the past, but after all, no Asian athletes have achieved such great results, and now such a person has suddenly appeared. Immediately, under the impetus of the overall atmosphere of the Olympic Games, TV and newspapers appeared in a row about Su Ancestor's name. Either praise, criticize, disdain, or doubt, in a word, many people who don't know about the Olympics and sprinting events all learned that there is such a powerful Chinese athlete who competes with European and American athletes in the sprinting event. .

10AM local time in Athens.

In a temporary training ground near the Olympic Village, in the morning, Su Zu, Yang Guangzong, Chen Jian, Shen Yunbao, He Jun and others were doing simple daily training.

"You can, did you not interview today? Come to the training ground like us."

Yang Guangzong was wearing a vest and was supporting Su Zu's leg, stretching and relaxing his leg and waist muscles.

Neither he nor Yang Guangzong went to watch the semi-finals and finals last night.

Yang Guangzong was because last night's 100m final was too late, and it was almost one or two o'clock when he returned to the Olympic Village after the end. He will have the same 200-meter preliminaries as Su Zu tomorrow, so he has to stay in shape and get enough rest. As for Chen Jian, because of the preliminaries and rematches on the first day, his physical exertion was too great, so he was working and resting on time during these few days to prepare for the next relay race.

As for Shen Yunbao, who is jogging on the field now, he didn't have 100-meter and 200-meter competitions. After 9 o'clock in the morning, he appeared at the training ground just like Su Zu, who participated in the competition last night.

However, from the attitudes of Yang Guangzong and Chen Jian, they are both happy for Su Zu's achievements, and at the same time they are secretly cheering for themselves. With an example in front of them, they can't be left too far behind.

"A little to the left." Su Zu leaned against the wall of the training ground, with one foot independent, directing Yang Guangzong's movements, twisting the muscles of his legs and waist slightly left and right.

"I don't know if there are any interviews, but I threw them all to the coach, and I'll talk about it after all the comparisons. Oh, well, it hurts a little bit, it's alright. The 100-meter competition is over, I'll be waiting immediately It's just 200 meters and a relay race. I don't want to talk to them about it."

Athletes will naturally train for a long time. Occasionally, when there is no masseuse, they will press each other to relieve fatigue.

"You've run four rounds in the past two days, and your muscles are a little stiff. I'll find the masseuse at the team doctor to give you another round." Yang Guangzong patted Su Zu's thigh muscles , "Otherwise it will affect tomorrow's 200-meter performance."

"It's a little sore." Su Zu took a light breath, this kind of muscle soreness is a normal phenomenon after training and competition, he can't even check the negative state, but the feeling of body feedback is real of. In the past, the competition was not so careful and would not care too much, but now tomorrow morning is the 200-meter preliminaries. If we can successfully advance to the final, it will be another four rounds.

200m consumes more physical energy than 100m. Fortunately, the 200m race time is better than 100m. Except for the preliminaries and semifinals on the first day, the second is the semifinals. The third day is the final, and the interval is one more day than the 100 meters.

"Okay, that's almost it, take a slow walk and be active."

Su Zu nodded, shrugged, twisted his waist, and patted his leg muscles. I walked slowly on the track for a while, and occasionally ran lightly. I didn't do any major exercise, but just moved my body.

Before the competition, keep your body as good as possible. Although he is data-based in terms of physical attributes, if he does not have warm-up activities, or his body is not in a relatively good state, it is difficult to play to the highest level.

Before this kind of competition, you must keep your body in a state of tension and excitement, not too tired, but also not lying down and resting completely, not moving at all.

Just as a few people were joking occasionally on the training ground and conducting some simple training sessions, Yu Liwei and Li Zhizhong walked in from outside the training ground.

"Suzu, stop, come."

Yu Liwei was blushing, his face seemed to be smiling. Li Zhizhong beside him was also smiling, obviously very happy.

"What's wrong?" Su Zu slowly ran to the two of them and asked.

"See for yourself." Yu Liwei faxed an A4-sized report in his hand to Su Zu.

Su Zu took the fax and opened it, his eyes suddenly widened.

"What?"

Yang Guangzong, Chen Jian and Shen Yunbao squeezed over and glanced at each other, all of them growing up.

"Fantastic!"

"Fuck!"

The fax was a short congratulatory letter:
