Run Out of My Life

Chapter 302: Oslo Golden League (World War I Powell)

    Oslo, Norway, a global city.

    As the economic and political center of Norway, the city is the hub of trade, banking, industry and shipping throughout Norway, as well as an important center for European shipping and maritime trade.

    On June 2, the 2006 IAAF Golden League kicked off in Oslo. The Oslo Station is the first stop of the Golden League this year, attracting dozens of people expecting to share the million dollar prize in the Olympic and World Championships champion.

    In the Bicester Stadium, when Su Zu appeared on the field, it still attracted the attention of the audience and the media.

    As the 2005 World Championships men's 100m and 200m double champion, the current world men's 100m record holder, from the day he arrived in Oslo, many media have been following and reporting his whereabouts.

    Bicester Stadium is Norway's most famous international sports arena. The original stadium was demolished in 2004 and a new stadium was built in the summer of 2005. The new venue complies with the international requirements of the athletics program and has achieved IAAF Level 1 accreditation found in only a few stadiums in northern Europe.

    The IAAF Golden League Oslo competition is called the Bicester International Athletics Games. This international competition has been played at the Bicester Stadium since 1965, and was later included in the IAAF Gold League by the IAAF.

    The competition is sponsored by ExxonMobil, and the official name of the competition is also called the ExxonMobil Bicester Games.

    "Congratulations, Su, you are now one Olympic champion!"

    In the inspection area, Sean Crawford, who has not seen Su Zu for a long time, is congratulating Su Zu. The two have known each other since the indoor World Championships, and they have encountered each other in various competitions after that. There are also misses, and the relationship has always been very good.

    "Thank you, Sean!" Su Zu smiled, then hesitated a little, and asked in a low voice, "Has recent events affected you?"

    Sean Crawford shook his head, "No, I passed the test. I am now preparing to terminate the contract with Trevor, who has been targeted by the Athletics Federation and the US Anti-Doping Agency. up."

    Trevor Graham, Justin Gatlin's track coach and one of the most famous track and field coaches in the world today, Sean Crawford is also on the other side Train under coach.

    "That's good!" Su Zu patted Sean Crawford's broad shoulder, "We haven't played the same game for a long time."

    "It's been a long time, when was the last time, the World Championships in Helsinki?" Sean Crawford smacked Su Zu's chest, grinned and showed his white teeth, "Hi, boy , are you challenging me?"

    "Are you going to fight?" Su Zu replied with a smile.

    "Who can outrun you?" Sean Crawford shrugged, "Gatlin has been suspended, and now there is only that Jamaican."

    Sean Crawford said, gesturing to Asafa Powell who was warming up beside him, "You have to defend your world record well!"

    Su Zu glanced at Asafa Powell who was warming up for the start on the track. The opponent's starting posture was indeed impeccable and perfect. With just one acceleration from the start, Su Zu could see that Powell's It should be in good condition.

    "Asafa's condition looks good." Su Zu's face was slightly solemn.

    Last year, Asafa Powell missed the World Championships due to injury. The injury was said to be quite serious, and he did not return until March this year.

    Although the results from several games are not particularly good, it can be seen from game to game that the opponent is returning to the top.

    "Su, are you feeling stressed?" Sean Crawford asked aloud, watching Su Zu's face change.

    Su Zu nodded, a string in his heart gradually tightened.

    All games want to be won, but not every game is easy.

    In the first stop of the IAAF Gold League in Oslo, there were indeed many masters in the men's 100m event. Except for Sean Crawford and Asafa Powell, the The runners are another Jamaican sprinter, Michael V Larter, who played against Suzu in Doha in May, breaking Frank Fredericks' original African record, Orusoki Fasuba, and Trini. Mark Burns of Da and Tobago, Aziz Zachary of Ghana, and Kim Collins of St Kitts and Nevis.

    Of course, among these players, only Asafa Powell was really taken seriously by Su Zu. In the inspection area, Asafa Powell also glanced at Su Zu several times, and the two had no friendship. , except for the occasional eye contact, there is basically no conversation.

    This is a war between the current world record holder and the former world record holder. As Sean Crawford just said, now his opponent is mainly Asafa Powell.

    And Asafa Powell is well aware of this, and has never let up since entering the arena to warm up.

    Men's 100m world record holder, this title is a great temptation for all 100m athletes, and the one who really has the strength to do this, in this game, only Su Zu and Asafa Powell.

    At 15:25 p.m., as a staff member of the organizer entered the check-in area to notify the players to prepare for entry, the men's 100-meter competition in the Golden League officially kicked off.

    In the Bicester Stadium, the atmosphere at the scene was already extremely warm.

    Norwegian men's javelin player Sol Kiddsen just won the javelin championship half an hour ago, becoming the pride of the host of the Golden League and winning the cheers of tens of thousands of spectators.

    When the men's 100-meter trapeze battle started again, the atmosphere at the scene climaxed again.

    Many spectators bought tickets to watch the match for the men's 100m race.

    The first head-to-head confrontation between Su Zu and Powell in a major event, the game between the current world record holder and the former world record holder, gimmicks, weight, all are enough.

    Like the Doha Grand Prix, this competition has been spread through various media long before the start of the race.

    Suzu didn't make many appearances in the European Grand Prix and Golden League, but last year's Helsinki World Championships men's 100m and 200m double champions made many people familiar with him.

    Especially the matchup of the Golden League, the organizer and the local media reported it again, the current world record holder in the 100 meters, a young man from Eastern China with various Competition information.

    Su Zu was just standing on the runway. When introducing him on the live broadcast, he raised his hands high and waved, which caused a lot of applause.

    This is the treatment of the world's top players, as long as he is on the court, on the track, he will be the one who attracts the most attention.

    "Director Li, what do you think of Powell's state?"

    Besides the arena, Zhang Pingqiu looked at the athletes after they appeared, and looked back and forth. Su Zu's complexion was particularly striking among the black athletes.

    "It's hard to say." Li Zhizhong shook his head slightly, "Powell's condition should be fine. But he ran with Su Zu for the first time, and I'm not sure what kind of results he will play. An athlete like Powell tends to perform at his best when he is not pressured."

    "You mean Su Zu can beat him?"

     "Hey, Su Zu's recent training is not very systematic, and I can't hold it. If there is a ten-day and a half-month training to restore the state, there should be no problem."

    Li Zhizhong estimated for a while, he was very clear about Su Zu's state, Su Zu's biggest weapon is stability, after reaching a certain level, he can basically stabilize and rarely fall down.

    However, when athletes compete on the field, they have reached such a high level. When preparing for the battle, if there is not enough investment, it will definitely be more difficult to play their personal best.

    Zhang Pingqiu hissed lightly, "Don't let Powell break the record!"

    Li Zhizhong looked at the arena, grabbed the hem of the sportswear with both hands, and was also a little nervous. He not only wanted the record not to be broken, but also hoped that Su Zu could win.

    However, the situation on the track and field is always changing, and no one can be sure whether the athletes will suddenly explode or slump.

    "There are still opportunities, there are still opportunities." Li Zhizhong said silently.

    As long as this golden league can be stabilized, the next game will be much easier to say. The next Golden League game is in Paris on July 8, which is a month away.

    In this month, Li Zhizhong has already planned the training schedule. With this month's preparation time, he believes that Su Zu will definitely be able to adjust to the best state.

    Suzu was wearing a light blue sprint suit in this game. The Golden League is for personal bonuses and points. All the athletes did not wear the national team uniform.

    Standing in the middle of the fourth track, Su Zu looked around the arena, and his attention gradually focused on the arena.

    This race is his second race in 2006. After the Doha Grand Prix, there has been a period of time away from the stadium and the track, accompanied by loud shouts and various cheering sticks all around The rustling sound, Su Zu seemed to feel a long-lost surging feeling in his heart.

    The battlefield of athletes is always on the field, surpassing all opponents and winning, this is what I will do!

    He knew that he was not in the best condition for this match. One reason was that after a long preparation period, there were fewer matches. The other is after the Doha Grand Prix. In the past 20 days, there is basically no systematic training. I only occasionally take time to run and do some muscle strength exercises.

    The advantage of digitizing body attributes is that they can maintain their state. Su Zu believes that he has no problem running in 10 seconds, and even 9 seconds and 90 should be fine. But if you want to achieve personal best, within 9 seconds 80, 9 seconds 75 world record level, this is not necessarily. It can be said to be very difficult.

    After all, at this time of grades, a little lax attitude may affect his grades.

    At this time, Powell, who was narrating Su Zu, also slightly expanded his chest and made the final preparations with a blank face.

    This is the Golden League, not the Olympics or the World Championship, and he feels that there is no burden on him.

    But in the face of Su Zu, he still has a very high vigilance in his heart.

    Beginning of the 2006 season, Powell has also been recovering his competitive state. From the Commonwealth Games in March to the Jamaica Invitational in May, he has gradually achieved a score of about 10 seconds. Then run into 10 seconds.

    Facing Su Zu in this game, he didn't have too much pressure in his heart, he could let go of running and gradually run out of the state of the game.

    “Onyourmarks!”

    The side starter began to remind all players to take their place.

    First course Aziz Zachary, second course Michael Flatt, third course Sean Crawford, fourth course Suzu, fifth course Asa Fa Powell, Orusoki Fasuba in the sixth track, Mark Burns in the seventh track, and Kim Collins in the eighth track, all eight players stepped onto the starting block at the same time.

    The audience gradually became quiet.

    Su Zu squatted on the starting block, took two deep breaths, felt the warm atmosphere of the arena and the emotions gradually surging in his heart, and slowly adjusted his feet on the starting block s position.

    Bent down and bowed his head, at this moment Su Zu also seemed to hear the heavy breathing coming from his side, Sean Crawford on his left and Asafa Powell on his right, There was a lot of nervousness in this game.

    On the field, you can't be too nervous, too nervous will lead to an imbalance of mind, and you can't play your due strength at all.

    Also don't relax too much. If you relax too much, you won't be able to focus.

    It's the men's 100m!

    "SET!"

    After several referees on the scene confirmed that there was no problem with the starting position of the runners, the starter called out the prepared password.

    With a swipe, a uniform starting action!

    Everyone's eyes on the Bicester Stadium are focused on this at the moment!

    Among the seven dark-skinned athletes, an athlete with a very different skin color has become extremely outstanding at this moment.

    That is the current world 100-meter record holder, breaking countless scientific research myths, racial barriers, sprinters from the far east—

    Su!

    Everyone waited with bated breath, barely blinking their eyes!

    At the starting line, Su Zu's eyes stayed on the plastic track pressed by his fingers, and all his attention was focused on his ears.

    Wait for the moment the gun goes off!

    One second, two seconds…

    For athletes, this moment of time seems to be stretched, every part of the body is ready to start, and all the touches of the body become sharp!

    Pop!

    Electronic starting gun!

    The starting block made of pure metal on the field has endured the huge force of the athlete's sudden start in an instant, and even has the crunching sound of metal gears rubbing against each other.

    Run!

    Get started!

    Su Zu felt that his body suddenly paused at the moment when the gun rang.

    Not a starting block, not a spike, not an objective reason.

    While he was listening intently to the sound of the starting gun, at the moment when the gun sounded, his body seemed to have no response at all.

    The feeling is subtle, even subtle!

    Su Zu didn't have this kind of experience during the warm-up run and daily training, but when he was on the field, he had a clear feeling at this moment!

    Start to accelerate, swing your arms vigorously, and step on the starting block as if your legs are spring loaded.

    Just a few steps away, Su Zu found that he was really slow!

    His body reacted but compared to his Doha Grand Prix, compared to many of his previous races, there was a little stagnation at the start.

    In the two or three weeks after breaking the world record, he did not carry out complete preparation training. Despite his continued restraint, business activities have somewhat affected him.

    He's not focused enough!

    It's not distraction or distraction, it's just a hesitation and delay after the gunshot!

    In the 100-meter event, if the concentration is not enough, the most direct response is at the moment of starting!

    Thirty meters, when all the athletes gradually accelerated from leaning over to straightening up, Su Zu had already found his position!

    On his left and right sides, Sean Crawford was one position ahead of him, and Asafa Powell was two positions ahead of him.

    Although I don't know the exact starting reaction time, Su Zu knew at this moment that his starting reaction would not be very good! Maybe the response time schedule is more than 0.170 seconds, or even more than 0.180 seconds.

    For Su Zu, who has controlled the starting reaction within 0.150 seconds, this start is quite a failure.

    From the naked eye, no one can see the difference between Su Zu's reaction time and other players. What can be seen is only at the stage of 30 meters, Su Zu fell in behind Powell.

    Asafa Powell's running movements have always been advertised as textbook running methods by athletes from all over the world. From start to acceleration, they are the most impeccable among current sprinters.

    At this moment, Su Zu even felt a little panic in his heart.

    Losing? !

    Men's 100-meter sprint, one step is slow, one step is slow.

    In a game that is extremely close, it may be only a hundredth of a second, which will result in an absolute victory or defeat.

    After breaking the world record, even if Su Zu kept giving himself hints, trying to keep a low profile and reducing going out, it still inevitably brought some influence!

    Hopefully, he even felt that he could compete with the Jamaican Lightning if he continued like this.

    And now, he is feeling the consequences of two or three weeks of mental relaxation!

    There seem to be a lot of thoughts suddenly popping up in my mind, but the natural reaction of the body that has been honed thousands of times does not give him this time at all.

    The legs are still moving fast, forty meters, fifty meters…

    Su Zu glanced at both sides, and suddenly found that the gap between him and Powell and Crawford had not been widened, and the athletes in other sessions had not surpassed him. distanced.

    Like a haze splitting through the heart like lightning, Su Zu looked at the runway ahead and bit his lip.

    He is the world record holder. Even if he is a little careless, he is still competitive enough in this arena!

    There is only a gap of one or two positions, and it is far from the rhythm that he was taken away.

    Norwegian NRK TV station broadcast the live commentary of this Golden League also exclaimed, "Su's start is slow, Powell has gained an advantage..."

    Li Zhizhong on the sidelines saw that there was a problem with Su Zu's starting at a glance. According to the past situation, although Su Zu may be behind in the first 30 meters, it is rare to be pulled away by a few people. Status things appear.

    And in the eyes of everyone in amazement, Su Zu suddenly started to accelerate from the middle position!

    Sixty meters, seventy meters…

    Powell took the lead at this time, he was half a meter ahead of Suzu, and others such as Sean Crawford, Michael Flatt, Orusoki Fasuba had all Overtaken by Su Zu.

    Especially Orusoki Fasuba, the Nigerian rookie who ran 9.85 in Doha last month, did not perform well in this game at all.

    Su Zu understands that this is the status quo of most athletes. Unless they reach absolute top strength, an occasional outbreak will basically fail to stabilize their personal best results.

    Now, the last thirty meters is almost a match between Suzu and Asafa Powell!

    The distance of 70 meters, the speed of the two fastest runners in the world is vividly displayed!

    Powell's speed is very fast, and every step has a charm full of absolute speed and power, fast, swift and powerful.

    But in Su Zu's eyes, it is not fast enough. Although I don't know why, this is not Powell's peak speed, and his state is not the best!

    This is also normal, Powell is recovering his state, and most athletes can't keep themselves at their peak all the time, even if Su Zu's attributes are digitized, he will not It is possible to maintain the peak state all the time, not to mention other athletes.

    The huge cheers at the scene almost shattered the buildings in the stadium, mixed with exclamations in Norwegian and English, like rolling thunder, shaking back and forth over the entire stadium.

    Eighty meters, ninety meters…

    Su Zu bit his lip, he felt the distance between him and Powell shrinking.

    If there is data analysis after the game, it will be found that Powell's speed in the first 60 meters is 0.05-0.1 seconds faster than Su Zu, and after 60 meters, Su Zu's speed has caught up come up.

    Use speed endurance to stabilize absolute speed in the second half. This is the result of Suzu's training in the sub-altitude.

    At the stage of 70 meters to 90 meters, Su Zu's speed is much weaker than that of Powell, and Powell's absolute speed in this game did not reach the extreme of his personal peak!

    Ninety meters... Powell is half a position ahead of Su Zu!

    The scene is boiling!

    Whether it is Powell's team, Li Zhizhong, Zhang Pingqiu and others, almost everyone's eyes are huge!

    "Loud!"

    Norway's NRK TV live commentator almost spat out a word from his throat frantically, and even he almost jumped off the commentary table, affecting his microphone line hanging around his mouth .

    "Unbelievable, Su, Su killed Asafa Powell in the last ten meters!"

    "Amazing performance, amazing performance, too wonderful, super speed showdown! Powell was 90 meters ahead, but in the last 10 meters, he was overtaken by Su. !"

    Before the finish line, Su Zu felt an indescribable ecstasy when he crossed the finish line!

    Win!

     Last minute win!

    Cross the finish line before Powell!

    Su Zu almost didn't even bother to read the results on the clock on the side of the field, so he started running wildly on the field!

    Like a football player who scored twice, a big three, and a big four.

    The clothes on the body were also torn off, and they were shaken on the field!

    Ecstasy, nothing beats the mood right now!

    Su Zu even felt that the turbulent emotions in this moment surpassed last year's World Championships!

    This is a comeback against the trend, and he won without adequate preparation and a slow start!

    His last ten meters, not strictly speaking, the last five meters, he only surpassed Powell at ninety-five meters and won the championship!

    Besides the arena, Li Zhizhong's face changed from a tense state to a burst of laughter in an instant!

    Zhang Pingqiu watched Su Zu taking off his shirt and running wildly on the field, he only felt a burst of fire in his heart, and wanted to follow Su Zu's pace, running and cheering!

    Awesome!

    The moment Su Zu fell behind, both Li Zhizhong and Zhang Pingqiu felt that the game might be lost. This is Asafa Powell, the former holder of the men's 100m record, personally The best result was less than 0.02 seconds slower than Su Zu.

    Being ahead of him, and wanting to catch up and come back, that is a difficult thing.

    And Su Zu, did it!

    Of course, Li Zhizhong had sharp eyes, he saw that although Powell ran well this time, it was far from his absolute speed.

    Otherwise, the point where Su Zu slowed down at the moment of starting would not have a chance to recover.

    Sure enough, on the big screen at the scene, the answer was revealed after the men's 100m result at the IAAF Oslo Station.

    1. Fourth course, Su Zu, the reaction was 0.182 seconds, and the score was 9 seconds 95;

    2. The fifth track, Asafa Powell, the reaction was 0.153 seconds, and the score was 9 seconds 98;

    3. The third course, Sean Crawford, reaction 0.161 seconds, score 10 seconds 09;

    4. Second course, Michael Flatt…

    …

    Before the finish line, Powell looked at the results on the big screen, his chest and abdomen rose and fell, he exhaled a few turbid breaths, and his face flashed some unwillingness.

    After Su Zu started running around the field and failed to catch up, many reporters rushed to Powell and began to interview him!

    "Asafa, how do you feel about your performance?"

    "Mr. Powell, can you tell me how you feel at this time?"

    "Su surpassed you in the final stage, do you think you can still break Su's world record?"

      A burst of fire.

    And the media reporters don't care about you, they love this moment, you want to get angry, but it will make them more.

    Powell stood in front of the microphone, took a breath, and replied slowly: "My match with Su has just begun, and my goal to break his world record will not change, There are still many games to come, we have enough time to compete, the next one, the one who will win will be me!"

    And when Su Zu came back from around the field, a media reporter relayed Powell's words to Su Zu, Su Zu suddenly laughed, and shouted from the air: "I am very much looking forward to playing with Powell, I am I also feel that 9 seconds 75 is not the limit, our competition should be more intense, maybe I will set a new world record?"
