Run Out of My Life

Chapter 220: Battle of the 100m

    At this time, two athletes of black appearance were watching the men's 100-meter sprint in the Prefontaine Classic.

    "Tyson, who do you think will win?"

    Wallace Spearmont flipped his pigtails, looked at the audience around him, and looked at the men's 100-meter runway. This is Eugene, not the University of Kentucky they are familiar with. There are so many track and field stars. Even though they are already famous in the NCAA, they are ranked first in the 100 meters and 200 meters in the United States, but they lack world-class competitions. They really know the two of them. Not too much either.

    After all, NCAA track and field events are far less influential than basketball and rugby, and they are star-level treatments.

    "Obike Viru, this Portuguese is very strong." Tyson Guy glanced at the athletes on the starting line one by one. , hesitated for a while, and then said, "There is also the Chinese who looks very young. I read reports that after the end of the Olympic Games last year, he ran in 9.90 seconds in Japan. He may also have a chance."

    "Obike Viru? He might have scrambled again." Spearmont laughed loudly. The fact that Obik Viru was sent off in the 100m final at the Olympic Games last year has already been Spread all over the sports world, and Wallace Spearmont has always regarded this as a joke.

    Speaking, with the same eyes as Tyson Guy, he fell to the third position of the starting line, and grinned, "These Chinese guys are really freaks, is it easy to appear one or two when there are too many people? Such a genius, like Yao, the Liu in the 110-meter hurdles, and the current one, is unbelievable."

    "A lot of people can make a genius?" Tyson Guy glanced at Spearmont, "What about India, there are also many people."

    "Uh..." Spearmont laughed dryly, slightly embarrassed for a moment.

    Although they are athletes, they also went to the University of Kentucky with sports scholarships. They are not as ignorant as ordinary black people. Like Tyson Guy, who is studying sociology and marketing How good it is to say, but it still has some understanding of the entire international community.

    Even in the most talented sprint event, an athlete who wants to achieve success and rise to the world sports is never a matter of one person. But a whole set of selection process, the embodiment of comprehensive strength.

    For example, Tyson Guy, his parents are athletes, and later met famous teachers, relying on the powerful resources of the University of Kentucky to get to where he is today.

    The same is true for Wallace Spearmont, his father is a bronze medalist in the 200m at the 1987 Pan American Games. , the university is the University of Kentucky. The track and field sprint has won them the favor of a good school, and the good school conditions have also given them great support in training.

    "That Chinese Su, will he also participate in the 200 meters later?" Spiermont was scolded by Tyson Guy, and he started to focus on Su Zu with his pigtails.

    "With him, I also want to run with this athlete." Tyson Guy nodded. Competing with high-level athletes is something that every athlete thinks about. There is a very intuitive situation in the track and field, that is, the stronger the competition, the more extraordinary it can lead to its performance.

    While the two of them were talking, a huge cheer erupted from the stand near the side of the track, because there were so many American players, and the cheering crowd was enthusiastic, not to mention Eugene, a track and field center. In the city, the most anticipated men's 100m final is about to begin, and the waves of sound are like a tide.

    "Wow, the 100-meter event is still the most popular. I want to try the 100-meter." Spearmont looked at the audience on the sidelines and exclaimed exaggeratedly.

    "Yes, in track and field, only the 100 meters is the most popular."

    Tyson Guy nodded. Although he ran 100 meters in both events, his main event was 200 meters. The American men's 100m is far more competitive than any other track and field event. But at this time, seeing such an atmosphere on the field, he couldn't help but feel a little moved.

    "Hey bro, I think you should consider running the 100 meters." Spiermont said suddenly to Tyson Guy, "I know you've thought about it too, even though you started Not great, but much better than me, you ran 60m in 6.55, totally worth a shot."

    Tyson Guy watched the audience gradually quiet down on the field, and the runners stepped onto the starting block to get ready to take their places.

    His best time in the 100 meters is 10.06 seconds, which he ran in the 2004 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. Compared with the current series of famous American sprinters who can enter the 10-second mark, it is naturally not as good, but that is his training focus has always been on the 200 meters or even 400 meters.

    His speed endurance in the second half of the race has always been rated as the most suitable for 200 meters and 400 meters by the coach, but seeing the popularity of the 100 meters at the scene, he still had a thought in his heart.

    "Perhaps, I should really focus on the hundred meters."

    …

    Before the starting line, Su Zu's expression became a little cautious. After the final of the Athens Olympic Games, this time he felt relatively pressured.

    Even facing Justin Gatlin and Maurice Green for the second time in the All-Star Game last year in Yokohama, Japan, didn't feel that way.

     

    I want to win all the games, but if there is no worthy enough strong opponent, how can I be in the best state, which is completely refreshing!

    Su Zu is concentrating all his energy at this moment. He is under pressure and also motivated, which enables him to devote all his concentration to the game.

    This time the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene is no longer the same as before in Osaka, Asia is almost his home, except for a Leonard Scott, who can hardly score 10 seconds opponent.

    In this group, even if Su Zu is arrogant, the other players will ignore it. But Francis Opicvirou, the Portuguese, was enough for Suzu to give the greatest attention. He is one of the strongest players in the current men's 100 meters.

    If Francis Obikvirou hadn't been sent off in the 100m at the Athens Olympics last year, he would have been the runner-up in the original time and space, second only to Justin Gatlin, who could run the 100m A score of 9.86.

    To win, to face Obikveru, this game is the final arena.

    Pop!

    The match shot!

    On both sides of the arena, countless spotlights crackled loudly at the same time, all capturing the athletes' starting movements at this moment.

    The camera lens is closely facing all the players. This is the program recording team of Eugene local TV station. In Eugene, there is a high degree of attention to the annual Prefontaine Classic. It is even possible that the United States or other broadcasters will pay to buy these game videos later.

    Su Zu slammed his feet on the starting block, his arms swayed in an instant, and his feet stepped forward.

    The effect of several months of training is obvious at this moment. The starting reaction is not necessarily much faster than before, but the starting action is more straightforward than before.

    The increase in flexibility makes his legs smoother and the pedaling power is more suitable.

    One step, two steps, three steps... No flags, no whistle, no one running.

    The contest went well.

    Obikviru in the sixth lane has a height of 1.9 meters. Because of his height, his starting speed in the 100-meter race is slower than other competitors, so he often uses the gun form to make up for this disadvantage.

      , has been strengthening the starting practice, instead of thinking about running with a gun like before.

    So, this time he controlled no pressure gun, although the starting speed was a little slow, but for him, no foul is the best start.

    The fastest start is still Leonard Scott, an athlete who walks back and forth in track and field and football, and gradually regains his competitive status as a sprinter in each game .

    The starting reaction is faster than before, maintaining the most advantageous starting speed.

    John Capel of the first lane, the top football receiver in the United States, his reaction speed is also the best, and he has the running ability to match the reaction speed .

    In addition, like the fourth Kobe Miller on the right side of Su Zu, he is the third pole in the American men's 4×100 meter relay race. Not weaker than others.

    For a time, eight athletes on the field stepped on the starting block together, and the rapid start almost made the audience hold their breath and forgot to cheer.

    Fast, really fast!

     

    Accelerating from standstill to top speed is filled with unspeakable masculinity, beauty of power and speed.

    In the first 20 meters, except for Davis Barton and Kim Collins, who have a disadvantage that is almost indistinguishable to the naked eye, the other six are in a state of complete parity.

    Twenty meters, thirty meters…

    The difference in speed between the eight players gradually began to show.

    The first one was Leonard Scott, who just ran 6.46 seconds in the 60-meter indoor race in Levin, France this year, and was fast enough in the first half.

     Of the eight players present, Su Zu could compete with him at 60 meters, but at the first 30 meters, Su Zu could not outrun the opponent. The super reaction speed and fast pace acceleration are completely innate, with the qualities of a top sprinter.

    Suzu is almost half a position behind Leonard, and next to him is Kobe Miller in the fourth lane, the third best player in the relay race, who is also very fast in the first half. amazing.

    After 30 meters, enter the high-speed stage of running on the way.

    Su Zu's 100-meter run was not intended to start fast, but to fully accelerate. After 30 meters, the speed gradually increased.

    Like Suzu, the other Obikviru and Kim Collins who were behind the start were also accelerating. Especially Obikviru, who has long legs and long legs, is not fast enough to start, but compared to Su Zu, who is about 185 in height, and several other American players who are 175 and 180 in height, once Obikviru adds up to the speed, he will be in the middle of nowhere. The second half will have a huge advantage.

    Obike Viru's speed endurance in the middle and second half is not very good, but in the 100-meter sprint, with his large stride, it is already the world's top level.

    Forty meters, fifty meters…

    Suzu's speed began to enter the peak stage of running on the way. Like the previous All-Star Game and Osaka Grand Prix, at this stage, Suzu caught up with Leonard who was running in the first place. Scott, ran to the first position.

    Su Zu's stride is fast, and after winter training, his stride has been fully expanded.

    Following Suzu is Obikwelu, a player who has been naturalized from Nigeria and is at the final peak of his competitive state. Except for him, other players have gradually been pulled away distance.

    The audience in the stands had already exclaimed at this time. From a distance of fifty meters, it was obvious that Su Zu stood out from the front and many players, and the four famous American players were surpassed by others. .

    This is not a middle and long distance running, there are things that go back and forth like overtaking, anti-overtaking, and then overtaking. They are all top athletes, and the distance of 100 meters is over in the blink of an eye. Once you are overtaken, you will basically only be able to follow your **** and eat ashes, and you will never be given another chance to catch up.

    Sixty meters, seventy meters…

    At this time, the form on the runway gradually became clear.

    The first is Su Zu, and the second is Obi Keweiru, the gap between the two is very small, close to half a body distance.

    The third is Leonard Scott, after regaining his competitive form, his level has improved rapidly. The two behind are probably more than one position away.

    Bryant Miller, Davis Barton, and Kim Collins were biting tightly at the back, and at the back were John Capel and Aziz Zachary.

    Eighty meters, ninety meters…

    The finish line is just around the corner.

    Su Zu didn't look at the players next to him, but when he was running, he could vaguely feel someone beside him.

    It was fast, biting him tightly all the time.

    In this group of competitions, Su Zu has no place to relax at all. From the start to the acceleration to the sprint, he maintains the greatest concentration.

    Run, run!

    The last ten meters!

    You can't be overtaken at this time!

    The finish line!

    Two figures passed quickly like a gust of wind.

    9 seconds 88!

    After Su Zu ran across the finish line, he glanced at the results on the timing board, ran a dozen steps in buffer, and stopped slowly.

    "Win?"

    Su Zu turned his head to look at the finish line referee, and at the same time, Obikviru, who was in the sixth lane, also confirmed to the referee at the same time. The gap between the two is very small, and they are separated by several passes, so it is difficult to confirm each other's results.

    "Su!"

    A familiar word rang out.

    Su Zu clenched his fist suddenly, shouted, and ran wildly on the runway beside the stands. In the flashing spotlight, Su Zu suddenly stopped.

    He did a backflip on the spot, and after landing steadily, he raised his hands to the audience.

    9 seconds 88, under the pressure of Obikviru, Suzu finally surpassed his previous two results.

    9 seconds 89, this is the result of Obekwelu, although he failed to win the championship, his performance this time is dazzling enough. Moreover, this is his first game after a major defeat, and in 2005, his eyes were already set on the World Championships.

    Besides the arena, the audience on both sides of the stands stood up and applauded enthusiastically. Looking at this young exotic player with a smile on his face, he looked excited.

    The audience in the city of track and field, with different skin colors and races, never hesitate to give the champion the greatest applause and cheers, which is the spirit of the city.

    "Champion, another champ."

    Su Zu looked at the audience who applauded him in the stands, and the feeling in his heart was beyond words.

    Across thousands of miles in a foreign country, he once again won the first place and won applause.

    Standing on the track, watching the audience and the crowd of reporters coming over, Su Zu inadvertently thought of the women's 800-meter race that was about to start after the men's 100-meter race.

    The organizer of the event put together two heavyweight competitions, the intention is self-evident, to attract the attention of the audience.

    What Su Zu thought at this time was that the legendary athlete who created the 12-year women's 800-meter winning streak at the Prefontaine Classic is really amazing.

    Is it possible for me to create such a legend one day?

    In a certain event, leave a trace of yourself that cannot be erased!

    …

    At the moment when Su Zu won the men's 100m championship in Eugene, Su Zu didn't know that there were two 200m runners watching him on the sidelines of the arena.

    They are looking forward to 15 minutes later, in the 200 meters arena and Suzu contest.
