Run Out of My Life

"Su Zu, just now, the director Li said that this championship was not in the plan. You just finished the competition in Europe, will you feel very tired?"

"Fatigue is definitely there. The Golden League and the Grand Prix itself are held in various countries. Although the competition is not very intense, there are still many places to go. However, I think I am in a good state."

"Then you rush back to the country to play, will it affect your subsequent games with Powell, we all know that your goal with Powell is to break records in the Golden League?"

"When the record is broken, no one can tell, I can only say try my best. And so, breaking the record is very important, but domestic competition is equally important. This is the Asian Games There will be trials, although I got the 'admission ticket', but I still want to go back to China to run. I haven't competed in China this year..."

…

"Zhang Peimeng, we are going to see the venue, do you want to go?"

With a click of the door, the door of the hotel room opened, leaned in from outside the door and asked Zhang Peimeng who was sitting on the sofa.

"Go, wait for me, I'll change my shoes."

Zhang Peimeng saw that the person who came in outside the door was his teammate in the Imperial City team, and immediately stood up from the sofa and replied.

I turned off the TV, walked to the door, looked at the sneakers on my feet, hesitated, picked up my backpack, and threw a new pair of sneakers and spikes on the shoe rack directly into it Bag, followed out the door of the hotel room.

What he watched in the hotel just now was Su Zu being interviewed by reporters at the airport.

On August 2, as soon as Su Zu's plane arrived in Shizhuang, many long-awaited media staff were blocked in the pick-up hall.

The two Shizhuang City Sports Bureau staff who were in charge of picking up the airport wanted to bypass the reporters directly, but there were too many people behind them, so they had to be interviewed by several relatively influential reporters at the scene .

After finishing the interview at the airport, Su Zu settled in the hotel and attended the press conference of Shizhuang Sports Bureau the next day. In this conference, he and Liu Yangyu were both together arrived.

For Su Zu and Liu Yangyu, the "admission ticket" of the Asian Games is naturally not a problem. The purpose of the two participating in this championship is mainly to promote the domestic track and field career. At present, the hottest track and field athletes in the country need to appear on this occasion.

Before Su Zu returned to China, the advertising slogan "Su Zu is here" was hung on both sides of the main road in Shizhuang City, and the ticket booking hotline for this game was also printed on it.

In the past two years in China, the popularity of track and field events, especially the sprint and sprint events, has increased greatly, almost entirely driven by the two.

Especially this year, first the men's 100m world record, and then the 110m hurdles world record, this kind of achievement, a major breakthrough before the 2008 Olympic Games is about to be held, can be said to be extremely exciting.

The 2006 National Athletics Championships was held in Shizhuang City. The competition was organized by the Athletics Management Center of the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China.

Shizhuang City was selected to host this event, in addition to the struggle of local departments, there are also considerations for preparing for the 2008 Olympic Games, because Shizhuang City's geographical location, climate, temperature, altitude, etc. are similar to the imperial capital almost. In order to be in line with the Olympic Games, the competition time is also arranged in the morning and evening.

At the same time as the championships, a meeting of the Asian Games leadership group for track and field events will be held to decide on the list of athletes participating in the Asian Games. The significance of this is self-evident. Whether the participating athletes can successfully get the "tickets" of the Asian Games also depends on the performance of this competition.

After briefly answering a few questions from the reporters at the press conference, they left.

After all, he just returned to China, and he still needs to rest and adjust. There will be two men's 100-meter or 200-meter races in the national championships soon.

As soon as he left the conference venue and got into the car arranged by the organizer, Li Zhizhong looked at Su Zu strangely.

"The celebratory gesture you designed last time is quite unique."

Just now at the press conference, Li Zhizhong understood from the reporter's question that the X gesture that Su Zu celebrated with Tyson Gay at the end of the London Super Grand Prix belonged to Javier Carter Dedicated celebratory gestures.

Javier Carter has not set foot on the international field for a long time, and Lao Li has not noticed such a player before, so he still does not know the meaning of Su Zu's last move at the London Grand Prix .

"No way, I'm not like Liu Yangyu who went around shirtless for most of the time after breaking the record."

Su Zu laughed, remembering the action when he made the X gesture with Tyson Gay at the London Grand Prix Crystal Palace Stadium.

The last time he did such a strange move was probably his first time on the stage of a national competition. Slow and rarely do these funny movements.

On the one hand, his character is inherently dull, and on the other hand, few domestic players have specially designed some eye-catching celebration poses.

Simply put, they are not as unique as some foreign players.

However, he didn't take it seriously. Indeed, as Su Zu said, Liu Yangyu broke the world record and celebrated with his shirtless in the mood, and everyone pointed at him, not to mention other things.

"I'll keep an eye out."

Su Zu nodded. He is not an outgoing person, but he occasionally gets brainstorm. After an athlete becomes famous, just like a star, every move will be magnified by the media.

"By the way, what's the name of the athlete who challenged you before the game?" Li Zhizhong changed the subject and asked.

"What's the matter? Javier Carter or Xavier Carter, I can't translate correctly." Su Zu wondered.

"This player is very talented." Li Zhizhong sighed, "Absolute speed, speed endurance, running rhythm, if you train well, you can go further, and it is estimated that he will become your opponent in the future. ."

"Heh, Master, you're worrying."

Su Zu could see that Li Zhizhong was happy when he saw the hunt. Javier Carter, a black athlete, has a very good talent and foundation, but Su Zu hardly remembers such a player in future generations.

Especially after Jamaica's Lightning Rise, those who can still be noticed under his halo are Tyson Gay, Powell, Gatlin, and later John Blake, etc. Talk to a few people.

Looking at Javier Carter's character and behavior, as well as Wallace Spearmont's record of possession of weapons, etc., Su Zu reckons that he should be left behind by everyone.

In competitive sports, there may be many players in basketball and football who can paddle, slowly recede from a high level, no matter how fast the fall, good talent and technology can still support a period of time time.

But in track and field, as long as you start to relax, it will almost plummet.

…

August 5th, the day after the National Championships.

Shizhuang Yutong Sports Center is already overcrowded, with more than 30,000 seats and nearly 40,000 grandstand seats.

Today is the men's 100m competition, the morning is the men's 100m preliminaries and semi-finals, and the evening is the men's 100m final.

This is the second time that Su Zu has stepped into this stadium. The last time he came to the competition was at the National Track and Field Championships two years ago, which was similar to this time, but the main It is for the selection of Olympic athletes, and this time it is for the selection of the Asian Games.

The atmosphere in Yutong Stadium this time was much warmer than the one two years ago, and even the two-day games on August 5th and August 6th were fired. Inflated.

Because these two days, there are Su Zu's men's 100m and 200m, and Liu Yangyu's men's 110m hurdles.

In China, or in many countries in the world, in fact, many sports events can be vigorously promoted and become lively, largely due to the emergence of super sports stars.

This time, in the track and field event, there are two domestic athletes who have achieved super brilliant achievements in the world track and field. The enthusiasm of the audience watching the game can be imagined.

In addition to the local audience in Shizhuang City, many audiences from surrounding Baozhou, Imperial Capital and other areas specially rushed to Shizhuang City, just to catch a glimpse of the Chinese trapeze.

In addition, a set of advertisements for Mercedes-Benz shot before Suzu in China also appeared in the prime time period of CCTV and various David TVs at the end of June.

At the beginning of the advertisement, a slow-paced music sound came from the gray screen.

The eastern sky lit up with the sound of music.

On a bed, Su Zu got up from the bed, put on his clothes and shoes, and the camera swept across a wall full of medals and photos.

Open the door and leave the bedroom.

The next second, Su Zu was already running on the gray street. In the empty street, a Mercedes-Benz car suddenly came up from behind.

Su Zu ran across the street, alley, roadside, beach.

The picture of the Mercedes-Benz car swept over the top of the mountain, the puddle, and the muddy loess road in sync.

With a voice-over: "Running alone..."

The camera once again switched to the lively and intense arena, and countless spectators were eagerly watching the arena.

A shot!

Su Zu started and galloped on the runway. At the same time, a group of car engines sounded, and the bright silver Mercedes-Benz C-Class started at the same time, shuttling on the winding road.

A number flashed on the clock before the finish line.

9 seconds 75!

The final picture was frozen in Su Zu and the car parked on an open track and field.

"Achieving the protagonist of life! - Mercedes Benz."

This set of ads caught the attention of many people almost instantly.

The Antan advertisement of Su Zu was talked about by many people before, although this advertisement of Mercedes-Benz car is not as strong as the strong one.

It is not as simple and straightforward as Coca-Cola's 12.88 after Liu Yangyu broke the world record, but it still has a lot of impact.

The world record of 9 seconds 75 on the timing board is really amazing. With this, other things are not so important.

In Yutong Stadium, when Su Zu appeared, the cheers of the audience reached their peak almost instantly.

Although Su Zu returned to China not long ago, he has not done serious training in the past few days, but at the current stage, there is an absolute gap between the level of domestic players and him.

The men's 100-meter event of the National Championships consists of three rounds of preliminaries, semifinals and finals. In the morning men's 100m preliminaries and semi-finals, Su Zu easily won the first place in the group and successfully advanced to the final.

Su Zu also discovered something in the morning competition that there are many new faces of domestic athletes participating in the men's 100m event than before. There are many young rookies competing.

The rise of newcomers can be said to be influenced by the current domestic environment. Since the 2004 Olympic Games, two years have passed, and many talented athletes have emerged in the national championships.

Sprinting is after all the most down-to-earth, simplest, and most test of talent.

A talented athlete can easily stand out among the same players as long as they receive a certain amount of training.

The level of an international first-level athlete to a national athlete will not be too much obstacle for talented players.

The limitation is that after reaching this level, if you want to go further, it requires more professional, scientific and hard training.

At 20:15 in the evening, the men's 100m final officially started!

Standing in the middle of the track, Su Zu looked at the top players from various provinces and cities, except for his teammates in the national team Zhang Peimeng, Wen Yongyi, Gu Kai, Chen Yuhang, Dai Shengming and others , the remaining two are newcomers who just emerged in China last year and have not yet joined the national team.

Su Zu didn't know the two for a while, but he was still very happy to see excellent domestic players appear.

In the men's 100-meter final, after the starting gun sounded, Su Zu gained the advantage after 30 meters, and kept this advantage until the end. In the end, there was no suspense in 9 seconds 92 and won the championship.

To Su Zu's expectations, Zhang Peimeng took the second place with a time of 10.28 seconds, ahead of the third runner-up Gu Kai's 10.30 seconds.

This is Zhang Peimeng's personal best performance, and it is also the first time he has run into the 10.30 mark, which can be said to be a huge breakthrough.

Some of Su Zu's teammates in the national team also performed very well in this championship.

This championship, it can be said that the men's sprint has completely entered the era of "little generals". Except for a few players such as Gu Kai, most of the athletes are born after 1985.

On August 6th, Su Zu once again won the men's 200 meters championship at the National Track and Field Championships.

In the just-concluded London Super Grand Prix, he set a new personal best, which is also an Asian record, and it is impossible to meet challenges in China.

After the game, Su Zu circled around the arena to express his gratitude to the audience. Everywhere he went, he almost detonated the warmest applause.

At this point, Su Zu's task of returning to China to participate in the National Championships has been completed.

On August 9th, Suzu flew to Europe again to prepare for the Swiss Zurich Gold League on August 18th.
