Run Out of My Life

    Justin Gatlin stood in the fifth pass, and he noticed two opponents on the left and right.

    Tyson Gay in the fourth lane must be no stranger to him. At the 2005 World Championships in Helsinki, everyone played on behalf of the US team.

    At that time, there was still a serious phenomenon of seniority in the team. Guy and Spearmont were bullied by the group represented by Maurice Green, and even ran away.

    And no one could have imagined that in the year and a half after his suspension, Tyson Gay's rapid growth would become another leader after him in the sprint program in the American track and field.

    He has no personal feud with Tyson Gay and has never acted inappropriately at the World Championships in Helsinki or after. If this year's Olympic trials go well, he may even team up with Tyson Gay to form the men's 4x100m relay team.

    But at this moment, they appear on the same starting line, that is the opponent.

    Athletics all over the country want to know if he, Justin Gatlin, or Tyson Gay is faster.

    But in fact, he also wanted to know.

    Before he left the field, in the Doha Super Grand Prix with Su Zu, Su Zu broke the world record with a score of 9 seconds 75, and he also ran 9 seconds 77, tied Powell's previous world record set a new American men's 100m record.

    But a year and a half later, Tyson Gay was born, and the world has changed.

    The American men's 100m world record is no longer the 9.77 he held, but Tyson Gay's 9.72. The world record for the men's 100m has been pushed to 9.69 by Su Zu .

    Returning to the field, what he needs is to prove himself and win back his image in the eyes of everyone.

    It might be a long time, but he never thought of giving up.

    He wants to show the world that he, Justin Gatlin, is still one of the fastest sprinters in the world.

    The New York Grand Prix was originally just a very ordinary race, but because of Tyson Gay, and Justin Gatlin, it became an American race in an instant , and even a game that the whole world is watching together.

    In another time and space, Justin Gatlin's suspension time was much longer than this time. When he returned to the game, he ran the men's 100 meters in 10.20 seconds away .

    At that time, Tyson Gay was the undisputed second fastest man in the world and the only competitor of the Jamaican Lightning.

    What about Gatlin?

    That is just a bad athlete who is burdened with taint and will be called out by the audience when standing in the London Olympics. Even by virtue of maintaining a better physical condition, he didn't win until the later stages of Jamaica Lightning's career.

    He is also lower than Guy in the national reputation.

    As for Usain Bolt, the Jamaican player in the sixth lane on the other side, Justin Gatlin has already learned about the amazing performance of the other side in the Jamaica Invitational this month, and last year At the Osaka World Championships, he also watched the opponent's performance in the 200-meter and 4×100-meter relay races.

    A great rival.

    But he was fearless.

    Gay or Bolt, in the face of competitors, whether it is the former Maurice Green, or the latter Powell and Suzu, he and Justin Gatlin are indomitable player.

    He has a crazy desire to survive, he wants to defeat all opponents.

    …

    Tyson Gay stood in front of the starting line, sipping water calmly.

    In 2004, he failed in the US Olympic Trials because he didn't get hydration in time before the competition. And now, almost the whole world knows about his habit of drinking water before games.

    Before this match started, he seemed calm, but there was no doubt that among the nine players, the one with the most pressure was him.

    He will face the challenge of two top players in this field.

    Usain Bolt is very familiar with him. Both of them are 200-meter athletes, and they also played against each other at the Osaka World Championships last year.

    After Bolt started to switch to the men's 100 meters like him, he began to disapprove, just like he was used to the men's 200-meter running method that did not particularly emphasize the starting technique. After the men's 100 meters, it took a lot of time to change the starting technique. It even turned to 2000 U.S. relay gold medalist Jon Drummond to train specifically for the start.

    In the men's 100m race, especially the top races, they are all top players. If there is no good starting technique, the disadvantage is obvious. With a top-level starting technique like Powell, the top 200-meter athlete generally competes with him, and the first 30 meters may be 0.1-0.2 seconds slower than Powell, or even more.

    For Tyson Gay, even if he can't completely match a player like Powell at the start, at least he can't lose too much, otherwise the speed ability in the middle and second half is not necessarily strong Can be chased back.

     And Bolt, he is almost 15 cm taller than Tyson Gay, his legs are long and stride is an advantage, but in the 100 meters that focus on starting skills, this is a serious problem The problem.

      The decline was severe.

    In the 100-meter race of the 100-second tiebreaker, the starting gap is almost fatal.

    But when Tyson Gay heard that Bolt ran 9.76 seconds at the Jamaica Invitational, his heart still trembled.

    Although the American media said that the timer at Kingston National Stadium was broken, he was skeptical.

    It is often your opponent who knows you best.

    As Bolt's opponent in the 200-meter event, in the men's 200-meter final of the Osaka Grand Prix, Suzu was the champion, he was the runner-up, and Bolt was the third.

    He combined his memory of the game, and later he would watch the video of that game many times.

    The biggest reason why Bolt lost to him and Suzu at that time was not the first half. Bogut seemed to be at a disadvantage in the first half, but he was not far behind. This means that the opponent's starting skills are not as bad as they think.

    Moreover, seeing Bolt again today, I obviously feel that his body is stronger and stronger, and the lines of his bare arms and thigh muscles are clearer.

    This game may not be easy! Tyson Gay thought silently in his heart.

    But compared to Usain Bolt, after all, it is the men's 100m race, not the men's 200m.

    Although he pays attention, he still has enough confidence.

    Even if Bolt really ran 9.76 in the Jamaica Invitational, he still has confidence. His best time was 9.72, and, with the intensive training after Brauman's release from prison, he felt he should be able to go faster!

    It was another person who brought him unprecedented pressure.

    Among the current men's 100m runners, the one who can make Tyson Gay feel pressure and nervous is not Su Zu, not Powell, but Justin Gatlin.

    As long as it is an American sprinter who debuted in 2003-05 and competes with Justin Gatlin, there is no pressure.

    Although he did not hold a world record like Maurice Green, he was the most dominant sprinter in the 2003-05 seasons.

    After winning the championship in the 2004 Olympic Games, he replaced Maurice Green as the first sprinter in the United States.

    If it weren't for the appearance of Powell and Suzu, maybe Gatlin could be crowned the world's first flying man.

    At that stage, Tyson Gay experienced it himself. Before Gatlin was suspended, he was no match for the 100 meters or 200 meters.

    In the 2005 World Championships in Helsinki, he did not participate in the men's 100-meter race, but in the men's 200-meter race, he lost to Suzu and also to Gatlin.

    That was a big mountain in his career, and for a long time after that, he couldn't get around Gatling's shadow.

    The game lost, the media in the United States will compare him with Gatlin, what if Justin Gatlin is here.

    The game is won, and it stands to reason that Justin Gatlin could have done better, maybe even a record.

    Whether intentional or not, this kind of comparison between top players is always inevitable.

    This is competitive sports.

    And this New York Grand Prix, after Gatlin learned that he was participating, he signed up almost without hesitation.

    According to Tyson Gay's idea, his first fight with Gatlin should appear in the US Olympic Trials, after all, at their level, generally unnecessary games will be as much as possible Avoid, this is a consideration of commercial value.

    But Gatlin's head-on challenge, he could hardly escape.

    He needs to face it both from his own heart and from his image.

    And, now Tyson Gay is no longer when he just entered the professional arena in 2005. He has experienced many large-scale competitions, and in the competition between Su Zu and Powell again and again , he has built up his absolute self-confidence.

    Don't say facing Gatlin, even Su Zu, he never thought he would fail, but has been quietly forging ahead for this year's Beijing Olympics.

    Athletes want to win, and he, Tyson Gay, is even more so.

    He wants an Olympic gold medal, the kind he really wants from his heart.

    In another time and space, he lost the 2016 U.S. Olympic Trials and started thinking about the Winter Olympics instead, in order to get an Olympic medal.

    The opponents in front of him will be obstacles to his winning the championship, and he needs to defeat them one by one.
