Run Out of My Life

Athletes Village for the World Championships in Helsinki.

Feng Shuyong, the leader of the Chinese track and field team at the World Championships, and several officials from the track and field management center appeared in Su Zu's dormitory early in the morning, congratulating him with a smile on his face.

There are not many games today, they are mainly played at night, and everyone has time. Su Zu has achieved such a result, and it is impossible for them not to come to condolences.

On August 6th and August 7th, the Chinese track and field team lost in the race walking and women's 10,000 meters one after another. It can be said that without Su Zu's significant gold medal, the track and field team would The pressure to face is enormous.

All are interchangeable.

This is the world champion, the world champion in the men's sprint, and it's big enough to grab everyone's attention.

Su Zu was surrounded by Zhang Peimeng and several other relay team members since he came back last night. Everyone knows that Su Zu is strong, but strength and medals are two things a concept.

Now that he has such a teammate, he has achieved such achievements, and the effect of motivation and tempering is self-evident.

Su Zu was also very excited about the honor of the world championship men's 100m champion, after all, this is the first world champion. Well, if you don't count the 60 meters of the indoor world championships, the two are far apart in terms of influence.

The men's 100-meter championship at the World Championships marks that he truly ranks among the top athletes in the world's field, and is one of the few people standing on the highest peak in the world today. He now ranks just behind Asafa Powell and Justin Gatlin in the men's 100m.

However, Su Zu is never someone who is immersed in his achievements. The World Championships are still going on, the competition is going on, and he also wants to pursue more glory.

Although no one in the team said it clearly, no matter who is looking forward to Su Zu in the men's 200m event.

In the men's 200 meters of the World Championships, only Su Zu and Yang Guangzong qualified for the Chinese track and field team, and now there is only one Chinese athlete in this competition, Su Zu.

Although he won a precious gold medal in the 100 meters, Suzu's performance and ranking in the men's 200 meters this year are more than 100 meters.

In the 200m event this year, Su Zu ran 19.79 and 19.83 in the New York Grand Prix and the Eugene Grand Prix, which is the 2005 World Men's 200m The best two scores. And these two results can run out in the vast majority of competitions, and they are basically strong contenders for the championship.

In 2005, the best top ten results in the men's 200m were not only Su Zu, but also the two American stars Wallace Spearmont and Tyson Gay. Yi. The two occupy the third, fourth, sixth and fifth and eighth places respectively. The other seventh, ninth and thirteenth places are Usain Bolt, Javier Carter and Justin Gatlin respectively.

After dealing with several leaders and others who came to congratulate him in the morning, Su Zu entered the inherent rhythm in the afternoon and went to the track and field in the Athlete's Village again for simple training.

The relay members of the Chinese team have been training here for the past few days. Su Zu rarely had time to come here today, and he also did a little training for handing over the baton together. But the intensity is not large, usually just trotting and starting, on the one hand to maintain the competitive state of the body, on the other hand to continue to cultivate a tacit understanding with other athletes.

The men's 4×100 meters in this World Championships are all new recruits. Everyone's expectations are not high, but they are mainly training.

And Li Zhizhong is completely inseparable today, he has finished dealing with the leaders, and then the media. Several media have already started to make interviews and interviews again and again. With the permission of the team leader, the reporters could not come in. I am afraid that the place where Su Zu is will be surrounded by Tuantuan in the next moment.

…

In a lounge in the inspection area, Su Zu was lying on a massage bed, Jiang Daheng was giving Su Zu a full body physiotherapy.

Today's competition starts at 11:35 noon, the first is the men's decathlon 100 meters, followed by the men's javelin and the men's pole vault, and at 12:20, the men's 200 meters preliminaries. As for the 200-meter rematch, it will be at 19:25 in the evening.

Su Zu was in the fifth group of the men's 200m preliminaries. When he appeared, he aroused cheers from many Finnish spectators. This is the treatment of the new 100m champion. In Helsinki, the capital of Finland, they witnessed A young man from far away China won the heaviest gold medal in the World Championships here.

The players in this group of preliminaries, Su Zu, don’t know much. The one who is slightly familiar is the player from Japan, Suzu Shengo, the third runner-up of the last World Championships. Guangzong competes for the first place in Asia together.

The final result of the game was that Su Zu won the first place in the group with a score of 20.55 seconds and easily advanced to the semi-finals, and the last Shenwu ranked second with a score of 20.85 seconds.

The men's 200m preliminaries went well. Although the weather was gloomy, fortunately it didn't rain. A total of eight preliminaries were successfully completed.

The preparations for the men's 200m rematch starting at 19:25 in the evening.

"This weather is really troublesome for the competition." Li Zhizhong sat on the chair beside him and sighed slightly.

Breaking records is quite difficult.

The most discussed topic in the entire athletes' village now is the weather, performance mistakes, poor condition, this is the reason for the rainy weather, everyone is too uncomfortable, the muscles are stiff and the movements are deformed, and they cannot perform as they should. come level.

"It's okay, coach, everyone is the same."

Su Zu lay prone on the massage table and waved his hand gently to Li Zhizhong.

He is no longer a rookie. He is always paying attention to his physical condition. In such a rainy day, the difficulties he will encounter are the same for others.

But speaking of this, Su Zu suddenly remembered the situation where Liu Yangyu was training today, and asked aloud: "If the weather is hurdling, it will be impossible to compete in the rain."

"Hurdles are of course more difficult in rainy days. Coach Sun Pingjiang has chatted with me several times, saying that Liu Yangyu's movements are a little tight and he can't let go. In addition, his opponent, the young hurdler from France, seems to be During the warm-up, it was often deformed and knocked down several bars."

Li Zhizhong was a little worried, the weather has a good impact on the sprint, after all, as long as it is not pouring rain, you can always compete. But for hurdles, which are more technically demanding, the impact is even greater on rainy days.

"It's raining, it's raining!"

At this moment, outside the door of the lounge, Zhang Pingqiu suddenly hurriedly pushed the door in and shouted.

Li Zhizhong stood up immediately and ran to the window of the lounge to look out. Sure enough, the raindrops began to beat on the window glass.

"This is not easy. Has the women's 100-meter hurdles started outside?" Li Zhizhong turned his head and asked Zhang Pingqiu. This lounge faces the outer side of the stadium, and can only see the street scene outside, but not the stadium.

"It started. When I came in, I just arrived at the third group. It is estimated that there are three more groups before the competition is finished." Zhang Pingqiuping heaved a sigh of relief and replied.

After listening to Zhang Pingqiu's words, Li Zhizhong glanced at the time on the watch, and the hands had reached the 19 o'clock position.

"Okay." Su Zu got up from the bed, moved his joint muscles a little, and nodded.

"Hey, Su Zu, it looks like you're going to compete in the rain." Jiang Daheng patted Su Zu's shoulder and smiled, "But it's alright, I have some dry clothes with me. Come back quickly and change."

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang!"

Su Zu smiled, put on his jacket, and prepared to go to the indoor warm-up track in the inspection area to conduct several sets of warm-up training, just in time, it was almost time for the game to start.

As soon as he arrived at the inspection area, Su Zu saw through several windows in the room and found that the rain outside was getting heavier and splashing on the glass.

Su Zu was in the third group of the men's 200m rematch. At this time, the athletes in the first group had just finished preparing and had not walked out of the stadium when they were punched back by the staff.

A rare scene in the track field happened.

At this time, outside the Olympic Stadium, when the runners in the second group of the women's 100-meter hurdles were lined up on the starting line, a bolt of lightning suddenly crossed the sky above the stadium; Before he could understand what was going on, the runway was completely obscured by dense rain curtains.

Simultaneously sounded.

"Power outage?!"

"WAHTFUCK?"

…

Everyone in the stadium was suddenly stunned. Rao is that everyone has experienced many games, big and small, but this is the first time that the power outage was encountered in the arena where they participated in the game.

At this time, the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and it was accompanied by gusts of wind whistling past.

The Finnish staff in the venue loudly used English to appease everyone present. Fortunately, it didn't take long, but in just three or two minutes, the lights came on again. This time it was the backup power supply inside the venue that was activated.

The entire Helsinki Olympic Stadium for a time, except for some emergency lighting equipment, most of the stadium was pitch black.

Although the emergency lights came on soon, it still cast a shadow on tonight's 200-meter rematch. The delay in the rematch of the men's 200m is inevitable.

Compared to Su Zu and other players who have not yet played, they are considered very good. At least they did not accept the baptism of wind and rain. All the 100-meter hurdlers and the discus runners in the field competition in the Olympic Stadium were shivering in the wind and rain. Not to mention that many Finnish audiences are waiting in the dark.

The power outage lasted for almost an hour. Although there was a backup power supply, it could only be barely illuminated. When the lights in the stadium turned on again, the time for the men's 200-meter rematch had passed.

Su Zu got the latest notice that the second round of the men's 200m and the men's triple jump qualifying had to be rescheduled to the 10th, while the women's discus final will be postponed to the local time on the 11th.

The time of almost every competition of the World Championships is arranged in strict accordance with the process, and any changes will affect the subsequent competition arrangements.

Tonight's 200-meter men's rematch will be followed by the 3000-meter obstacle course, the women's 800-meter final, the men's decathlon 400-meter and the final 400-meter hurdles final.

In the lounge, Su Zu stared at the rain curtain outside the window in a daze. He didn't expect that this World Championship was really such twists and turns.
