Chapter 104 (Four in One)

Just as Zheng Sheng guessed - from the moment the starting gun sounded tonight, he had been trying his best to test his limits.

If events like long jump and high jump always give athletes multiple opportunities to try, sprinting is different. In this competition that pursues the limit of speed, every athlete has only one chance - they must do their best in this limited opportunity!

Only by doing our best can we have the opportunity to explore unknown possibilities.

This is what Su Yu is doing at the moment.

At this moment, in this final, he put aside a lot of theoretical knowledge in his mind and let his body rely on the instincts generated after long-term training.

From the moment he started running, he showed no reservations about his speed!

He needs to go faster, faster!

At this moment, Su Yu knew clearly in his mind that for him, whether he could push his speed even faster in this race, the key was no longer the second half, but the first half - only by further increasing his speed in the first half and reducing the speed loss and control in the corners, could he maintain a faster speed base after entering the straight part of the second half, making his explosive speed in the second half more powerful!

So now, in the future stage - only a speed that exceeds his limit, only a speed that exceeds his previous ability, can give him a chance to break through his limit in this game!

In the third lane, Clint Hudson did not take the Chinese athlete too seriously before the race. For athletes from the United States, the world's truly top sprinting power, there may be one or two sprinting geniuses from other countries occasionally, but the ones who are truly worthy of attention are always only the opponents from their own country.

——This is the confidence possessed by athletes from the United States, a super track and field powerhouse where in the 2018 season alone, 18 U20 athletes ran the 100m in under 10.40 seconds, and 26 U20 athletes ran the 200m in under 21 seconds.

The qualifying line for the men's 200m at the World Youth Championships is 21.40 seconds. For the Chinese team, it was difficult to meet the qualifying window with the help of two 15-year-old athletes, Su Yu and Zhou Yuang. But for the American team, in the 2018 season alone, there were as many as 118 U20 athletes who ran under 21.40 seconds.

Clint Hudson and Marcus Stewart were among the 118 top American 200m athletes who successfully qualified for the World Junior Championships.

For Clint Hudson, the only opponents he could face were Marcus Stewart and Britain's Oliver Wells.

...That's what Clint Hudson thought before this final actually started.

This guy from the Chinese team in the fourth lane might happen to beat Christian Miller in the 100 meters, but he will never be able to beat himself on the 200-meter track!

However, when Clint Hudson heard the starting gun and burst into action, he was not able to evaluate his explosiveness as he expected to catch up with the guy from the Chinese team...

No, or rather, he once briefly approached the guy from the Chinese team, but soon, in the next bend, he could no longer get close to the guy from the Chinese team, and the distance between them was even gradually widened by the guy from the Chinese team!

How is this possible? !

For a moment, Clete Hudson was completely unable to understand how this happened, until he finally spotted the madman from the Chinese team, whose speed on the curve was simply beyond ordinary people's imagination!

Why does he have such a fast cornering speed? !

For this guy from the Chinese team, hasn’t his forward speed always been his weak point? !

How did this madman from the Chinese team suddenly have such a strong future explosiveness? How come his forward acceleration suddenly became so strong? ! With such a sudden burst of speed, can he really control his curve route? !

This is just crazy!

Clint Hudson had never expected that he would be left behind by the guy from the Chinese team in the fourth lane after the finals began...

Of course, this kind of blow from Su Yu in the early stage may surprise Clint Hudson, but it will not make him give up the pursuit of victory in this game.

Clint always maintained his own rhythm on the field. He did not think that Su Yu, who disrupted his habitual rhythm in the explosive phase of the start, could maintain this speed until the second half. Regarding Su Yu's acceleration in the second half, the coach of the American team believed that this was a compensatory dislocation illusion.

They believe that the reason why everyone feels that Su Yu's speed in the latter part of the race is very strong is only because Su Yu's speed in the front part of the race is not ideal. Due to the lack of explosive power and strength, Su Yu's speed in the front part of the race is difficult to improve. Therefore, physical energy will not be consumed in large quantities in the front part of the race. After 200 meters out of the bend, it happens to be the explosive stage in the latter part of the race which Su Yu is best at. The physical energy that could not be consumed in the front part of the race is concentrated in this stage, which also gives people a misplaced feeling that Su Yu's speed in the latter part of the race is extremely strong.

This is a rough analysis of Su Yu's situation in the latter part of the 200 meters - after all, for the US team, Su Yu's presence does not affect their goal of winning the 200-meter gold medal, so there is no need for more detailed research. In this World Youth Championships, the real opponents of the US team in the 200m event are Oliver Wells and South African young athlete Ismael Scheffers.

At this moment, just as everyone expected - in the starting explosion stage, although Su Yu's performance was better than his performance in the 200m semi-finals, the ones who were in the strongest state at this stage were Marcus Stewart from the United States and Oliver Wells from the United Kingdom.

The young athlete from the British team continued his strong form in the preliminaries and semi-finals in tonight's final. In fact, his condition at this moment is even better than in the 200m semi-finals.

Not only him, but also his teammate Nicolas Olindlin gave a very strong, active and positive performance in the starting burst phase.

Although Marcus Stewart performed very strongly in the explosive stage of the start, Oliver Wells was not quickly tied by Marcus in the explosive connection and acceleration stage of the first three steps of the start!

“This is a strong match between top young players!”

In the live broadcast room of Jigu Video, even though Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming were concerned about Su Yu, they couldn't help but be moved by their performance when they saw the strong tug-of-war and confrontation between Marcus Stewart and Oliver Wells during the breakthrough stage.

It's so beautiful! The reaction speed of these two players may not be as good as Su Yu, but their explosiveness, power and control on the curves are very strong. Even on the curves, their running posture still looks perfect and easy.

In this state of ease, their steps have both strong power and elasticity. Even if their step frequency does not seem to be as fast as some step frequency type athletes, their stride length and the power of each step are fully sufficient to support them to move forward quickly and powerfully.

At this moment, their figures on the field are like two elegant and powerful black panthers, taking their strong and calm steps on the track, making it difficult for their opponents behind them to catch up.

This powerful explosive power and excellent self-control ability make Marcus and Oliver stand out from the crowd.

For them, the biggest opponent between the two of them at this moment is each other!

Even though Su Yu had tried his best to burst out with speed in the early stages, due to his current age, his muscle strength was still far from enough compared to Marcus, Oliver and even every adult opponent on the field.

At this moment, all Su Yu could do was to try his best to increase his speed further in the future, and accelerate again and again with all his strength in the corners!

Only by running faster than every previous corner can he further develop his ability in the later stages with the support of stronger speed after merging into the straight road at the end of the corner!

“Come on! Come on!!!”

"Oliver—"

"Marcus!!!"

In the noisy and bustling audience seats, amidst everyone's frantic screams and shouts, Zheng Sheng was looking at Su Yu on the track with his heart beating wildly - although for ordinary spectators, it is difficult to judge the athlete's current true position from his position in the corners, but for professional 200-meter coaches like Zheng Sheng, judging this kind of position is already one of their basic abilities.

He could see that Su Yu's current position was between the fourth and fifth - in front of him on the right, Marcus Stewart and Oliver Wells on the fifth and sixth lanes were fighting each other tightly. If nothing unexpected happened, the champion and runner-up of this game would definitely be born between this talented player from the American team and the emerging genius Oliver from the British team.

In the seventh lane, the tug of war between Nicholas Olindlin of the British team and Ishmael Scheffers in the eighth lane was equally intense.

Although Ismael Schaeffers's starting explosive power is slightly inferior to Marcus', the South African athlete has better speed endurance than Marcus Stewart. So even though Ismael seems to be in fourth place temporarily, it is still unknown whether he can surpass his opponent in the second half!

Nicholas Olindlin from the British team actually has strength comparable to his teammates, but his ability to control corners is not outstanding, especially in tonight's race which is full of top players. Nicholas Olindlin wants to further improve his explosive power and speed on the corners, which will inevitably further weaken his control over his route on the corners.

But for Nicholas, if he wants to achieve better results in this game, he can only speed up and strive for the possibility of going further!

In the face of these powerful opponents, Su Yu's ranking was still maintained between fourth and fifth, which actually exceeded Zheng Sheng's expectations.

After all, in this arena, in addition to Marcus and Oliver, there are also Nicholas, Ismael and Clint, opponents who are stronger than Su Yu. Even the German player Julian Tenet should be on par with Su Yu in terms of ability in the early stages.

Zheng Sheng once thought that during the initial burst and the curves, Su Yu's position might drop to sixth or even seventh, but judging from the current situation, Su Yu's performance is much better than he expected!

come on!

Come on! !

Zheng Sheng's hands were clenched into fists with excitement, his eyes fixed on every change on the field, and his heartbeat in his chest was as heavy as a drum. The thumping of his heart was intertwined with the cheers of the surrounding spectators and Chinese team staff, making Zheng Sheng's head rumble. However, he did not have the energy to think about all this, as all his attention had already been captured by Su Yu, who was running as hard as he could on the field.

At this moment, there were only two purest words left in his mind - Come on! ! ! Su Yu, come on! !

***

At this moment on the field, Clint Hudson originally thought that as long as he maintained his rhythm, he would be able to successfully overtake Su Yu at the end of the curve - he didn't think that the young Chinese player with average physical fitness could really make a burst of speed beyond his previous speed in the early stage and still maintain this speed rhythm in the later stage.

But as the curve approached the end, Clint Hudson was still unable to close the distance between him and Su Yu - damn it! You know, he is in the inner circle! At this stage, he is still unable to narrow the gap with Su Yu. The only explanation is that he is already far behind Su Yu!

But this is impossible? !

Clint Hudson didn't think that his performance in this game was bad. After the explosive start, Clint always felt that he was in good shape. Although he failed to catch up with the guy from the Chinese team, Clint always felt that he could definitely overtake Su Yu after entering the later stages.

He never realized that the field had already been divided into three different groups. The first group included Marcus Stewart and Oliver Wells, who were in excellent form in tonight's final. The second group included Nicholas Olindlin and Ismael Schaeffers in the sixth and seventh lanes and Su Yu in the fourth lane.

As for the final third group...

He can indeed be a leader, but he can only be the leader in the third group, only ahead of Julian Tenat and Batur Alsreka!

What's worse, after passing the bend, the Polish player Batur Alsreka in the second lane was in the same position as him. Only then did Clint realize that not only was he unable to catch up with the Chinese guy in the fourth lane, but he himself was about to be caught up by the Polish guy in the second lane? !

No!

This is impossible! !

The guy from the Polish team hadn't even broken 20.75 seconds to his PB. How could he lose to such an opponent? !

But no matter how shocked Clint Hudson was, he could not change the fact that he was already lagging behind in this game. After realizing with horror that he was lagging behind, Clint Hudson began to try his best to complete the final sprint on the last 80 meters straight. However, he found that no matter how hard he tried, it seemed to be useless. He seemed unable to control his movements well, so much so that his body shook slightly in the last 80 meters straight sprint, and his steps staggered a little.

The feeling of not being able to control his body made Clint more and more anxious, but at this stage, no matter how anxious he was, it seemed to be of no use.

And what about Su Yu...

What about the young player of the Chinese team? !

He consumed far more strength and energy than usual in the explosive stage at the beginning, so in this later stage, can he still maintain his previous speed rhythm? !

Can he still control his body? !

Clint felt that Su Yu would inevitably start to slow down drastically at this stage, but when he glanced at Su Yu in front of him on the right, he found that this guy from the Chinese team... was actually faster in the later stages? !

"Speed ​​up!!! Su Yu is speeding up and sprinting!!"

“Entering the last 80 meters of the straight, Su Yu also entered the back part of the race which is his best!!”

Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming, who had been paying attention to Marcus and Oliver, couldn't help but turn their attention back to Su Yu after the race entered the straight stage.

In fact, or it can be said that from the beginning of this game, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming's attention has never really left Su Yu!

Not only Zheng Sheng, the two veteran commentators also noticed the changes in Su Yu in this game.

During the explosive stage of his forward movement, Su Yu not only reached his limit in terms of reaction time, but he also seemed to have released the shackles that had been on him for a long time, and further reached his own limit in improving his explosive power and forward speed!

Like Zheng Sheng, after realizing that Su Yu had made a breakthrough in the final, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming were both worried. In the World Youth Championship final, Su Yu chose to make such a breakthrough. Could he control the changes in his speed? Can he balance the physical exertion?

But after seeing Su Yu almost perfectly complete the acceleration in the curve part, all the worries turned into tension and anticipation at this moment - entering the later stage!

If we say that Su Yu in the early stage was trying his best not to be left behind by his opponents, then when the late stage began, he really entered the field of Su Yu's expertise!

Can he? !

After breaking through the speed limit in the first half, when it comes to the second half, can Su Yu still give excellent burst speed in the second half as usual? !

Plop, plop.

The violent heartbeats of these people at this moment are also the violent heartbeats of Su Yu on the field!

Rhythm, power, pace.

Every piece of knowledge about the 200 meters seemed to be surging wildly in Su Yu's mind, but now that he was extremely tired, this information seemed to only flash in Su Yu's mind for a moment, and then quickly dissipated.

Yes, extremely tired.

Just as many people worried, the sudden burst and acceleration consumed a lot of Su Yu's physical energy. This bad condition seemed to have made Su Yu unable to make the final sprint. However, Su Yu could clearly feel the power feedback he got from the track every time he touched the ground. The power feedback from the track was like a kind of power feedback that allowed him to move forward stronger and more powerfully.

Not only that, with the feedback of this power, Su Yu could feel that there was a new power in his body and in his muscles that was quickly recovering and condensing, allowing him to continue to sprint forward step by step with the help of this power!

In the audience, when Zheng Sheng saw Su Yu start to sprint quickly again in the later stage, his eyes suddenly became excited at this moment - this kind of late-stage speed, this kind of speed endurance? !

In the live broadcast room of Jigu Video, countless track and field fans and bystanders felt that their hearts were about to beat to the limit at this time - from the third-person perspective of the audience, they could of course see clearly that even if Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming didn't say it, they knew that Su Yu had no advantage in the future. Whether it was Marcus Stewart or Ishmael Schaeffers, these athletes from the United States, Britain, and South Africa, almost everyone had the ability to crush Su Yu.

They could only clench their fists and grit their teeth in front of the computer screen and cheer for Su Yu in their hearts...

They originally thought that no matter how good Su Yu's ability was in the later stages, at this stage, facing such opponents, Su Yu could only wait for failure...

But he didn't!

This 15-year-old young player of the Chinese team is not willing to admit defeat. Even if many people think that he is bound to lose, even if many people think that he has no chance of winning a medal, he is still persistent and determined in sprinting with all his strength!

"Su Yu!! Very strong explosive power in the latter stages! He is accelerating! He is still accelerating!!!"

At the front of the field, the battle between Marcus Stewart and Oliver Wells for the championship and runner-up had reached the final stage, but Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming still resolutely focused their commentary on Su Yu, who was ranked fifth at the time.

No……

Not fifth anymore!

When Su Yu entered the straight road and burst out, his speed began to increase step by step. Although he consumed too much energy in the initial burst stage, the speed increase in the initial stage also provided a stronger foundation and support for Su Yu's speed burst at this moment!

Even the coach of the US team, who had previously not taken Su Yu seriously, noticed the terrifying increase in speed of this young Chinese player after he entered the late-game explosive phase.

"Oh damn, how does he still have such speed and stamina?"

The speed and state shown by Su Yu at this stage were completely different from the superficial analysis originally made by the coaches of the American team.

And at this moment on the track, Su Yu is approaching the contestant in front of him step by step at this speed!

The ones closest to him were Nicholas on the seventh lane and Ishmael Shavers on the eighth lane!

Between the two of them, Nicholas Olindlin now had a greater advantage thanks to the speed increase he had made in the previous cornering stage. Although Ismael performed well in the early stages, he was in the eighth lane and his speed dropped a little when the corner merged into the straight. This speed drop made it impossible for him to close the gap with Nicholas after entering the straight stage.

Not only that, when Ismael was trying his best to accelerate and sprint past Nicholas at the last moment, he didn't know that a young player from the Chinese team was approaching him little by little in the fourth lane...!

"Speed ​​up! Su Yu's speed is still increasing!"

"That's it, hold on! Su Yu, hold on!!!"

"Overtaken!!! Su Yu surpassed Ishmael and came in fourth!!! Come on!! Come on Su Yu!!"

When they actually saw Su Yu surpass Ismail in the later stage, almost everyone jumped up from the computers watching the live broadcast - and Zhong Wen and others who were watching the game on the spot were shouting like crazy towards the direction of the stadium!

"Come on!!! Come on, God of Study!!!"

“Surpass him!!!”

Almost every spectator had bloodshot eyes at this moment, and everyone was nervously staring at the changes in the last few seconds on the field!

Getting closer!

Closer!

Everyone could see that in the last 20 meters, the gap between Su Yu and Nicholas was only about half a body length!

Can you catch up? !

At this moment, Nicholas in the seventh lane finally realized that the young Chinese player in the fourth lane had almost tied him up without him noticing.

Of course Nicholas could not allow such a possibility to exist. He gritted his teeth and at the last moment, he made a sprint with all his strength, pressing his body forward and increasing the swing of his arms.

The last 20 meters!

The last 10 meters! !

Cross the finish line! ! !

“Cross the finish line!!!”

In the live broadcast room of Jigu Video, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming were not aware until this moment that cold sweat had appeared on their foreheads and backs. This was the physiological manifestation caused by the excessive excitement in just 20 seconds.

They crossed the finish line. Even at the last moment, Su Yu seemed to be almost on par with Nicholas Olindlin. It was difficult to judge the outcome between Su Yu and Nicholas without the camera at the finish line. However, with the years of commentary experience of Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming, they had a vague guess about the result in their hearts.

After all, it was too extreme. The time when Su Yu just caught up with Nicholas was too late. At a distance of only 20 meters, Su Yu was able to close the gap of half a body length between him and Nicholas, which was almost a miracle. But it is very likely that the final result will be that although Su Yu tied with Nicholas, Nicholas will win the bronze medal in this game by virtue of the gap of about one thousandth of a second that the effective torso part of his body touched the finish line first.

When they thought of this possibility, both Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming showed expressions of pity on their faces.

In fact, for athletes in competitive sports, no one can truly claim that he can win every battle. Even the legendary star who once had superb skills in the 200-meter event has experienced failures in his career.

But in tonight's competition, when I saw Su Yu break through his previous limits from the reaction to the burst stage, and saw Su Yu break through the difficulties with a sharp will that was almost condensed into substance, and fight to the limit with these players who were older and stronger than him...

Seeing that he might lose because of the last thousandth of a second after trying his best, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming couldn't bear to express their judgment at this moment.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Maybe... maybe as long as they don't express their judgment, a miracle may happen in the end?

Just when Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming wanted to delay the explanation a little, the director of Jigu Video switched the live footage before them.

Su Yu finally crossed the finish line in the race. After crossing the finish line, he barely took two steps forward, and then his legs seemed to go weak, and he fell to his knees on the track at the end of the track.

The first person to discover this situation at the scene seemed to be Marcus Stewart, who eventually finished second. When he turned around after crossing the finish line, he subconsciously looked to his left rear and saw Su Yu kneeling on the ground. This situation made him almost unable to feel frustrated about his second place. He was so scared that he rushed to Su Yu and helped Su Yu up who was kneeling on the ground.

"Hey! Sue! Hey, are you okay?!"

Marcus felt that his heartbeat was not as violent as it was now when he was crossing the finish line just now. Su Yu, who was being supported by him, had obviously exceeded his physical limit. Even though he had been helped up, he was temporarily unable to answer Marcus' questions.

Fortunately, when Marcus was getting nervous, the Chinese team staff who was also paying attention to Su Yu the whole time jumped up in fright when they saw Su Yu fall. They immediately rushed into the track with Su Yu's coat and energy drinks in their hands. After thanking Marcus Stewart for his help, they supported Su Yu together with Marcus.

Fortunately, Su Yu only lost his strength for a moment. After being helped up by Marcus and the Chinese team's staff, he gradually recovered. Then, with the help of the two, he continued to walk a few steps on the court to calm himself down.

After finally taking a breath, Su Yu first expressed his gratitude to Marcus.

After seeing Su Yu obviously recover, Marcus also breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm glad you're okay. Your condition just now was too scary."

Thinking of this, Marcus remembered seeing Su Yu panting after the game in the semi-finals. At that time, he just thought that this guy from the Chinese team was a liar with superb acting skills, but now it seems that this guy may not be a liar - he is really just a guy with poor physical fitness!

But after realizing the truth, Marcus felt even more speechless, a level of speechlessness that was almost comparable to the frustration he felt when he lost to Oliver Wells of the British team in the final sprint.

After all, this is a guy who, even though he is not physically fit, can still advance to the 200-meter final and run into the top four in the final.

Yes, while helping Su Yu up, Marcus also saw the wonderful replays on the large electronic screen at the scene. He saw how this guy from the Chinese team first surpassed Ismael of South Africa in the last 50 meters of the sprint, and then almost caught up with Nicholas of the British team step by step.

Yes, almost tied.

Marcus also believed that with Su Yu's final level with Nicholas, he would most likely lose to Nicholas of the British team by a limited margin of thousandths.

This possibility made Marcus feel very sorry - in his opinion, it would be better for this terrible little liar from the Chinese team to win the bronze medal than for Nicholas from the British team to win the bronze medal.

After all, if two medals belonged to Britain at the same time in the final men's 200m medal table, it would not be a very pleasant result for him.

But even if Marcus thought so, he didn't think it would become a reality - there was no way, the Chinese team's little liar caught up with Nicholas too late, even if it was a pity, he had to admit that the final victory might belong to Nicholas.

Just as Marcus was supporting Su Yu and mumbling to Su Yu and the Chinese team staff, the electronic screen at the scene flashed...

Marcus and many people who were paying attention to who would be the third place winner in this race subconsciously thought - Oh, the comparison screenshots of the finish line are coming!

The result was beyond everyone’s expectations. What they waited for was not the comparison screenshots of the end of the track, but... the final result of the race? !

In the live broadcast room of Jigu Video, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming were both stunned for a moment when they saw this scene, and then the next second, their brains began to work rapidly and they thought of a certain possibility.

Under what circumstances, when there are two athletes crossing the finish line almost at the same time and it is impossible to tell with the naked eye who won the medal, will the electronic screen on site not show a screenshot comparing the two athletes' finish lines, but will directly show the results? !

Marcus at the scene had a possibility in his mind. When he saw that the third place name on the electronic screen was Su Yu instead of Nicholas, he couldn't help but smile brightly and patted Su Yu on the shoulder: "Hey, Su, the little liar of the Chinese team, you are such an awesome and lucky little liar!"

At the same time, in the live broadcast room of Jigu Video, the excited voices of Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming almost broke through the sky——

"Bronze medal!!! Our young athlete Su Yu successfully won the bronze medal in the men's 200m final of the World Youth Championships, which was full of strong competitors!!!"

"This is his second medal in this World Youth Championships after the gold medal in the men's 100 meters! This is also a historic medal won by the Chinese team in the men's 200 meters event in the World Championships!"

"The appearance of this medal not only represents the strength of our men's 200m in the world U20 competition, but also is a loud voice sent by the Chinese team to the world. It officially announces to the world that the Chinese team is here, and China's young future is here! From now on, from this moment, the Chinese team will no longer be silent on the world 200m track!"

"Let us congratulate the Chinese team once again!! Congratulations to Su Yu!!!"

In the live broadcast room of Jigu Video, while listening to the joyful voices of Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming that were about to overflow the screen, the track and field fans were already celebrating happily, while the bystanders in the live broadcast room were a little dazed by the situation in front of them.

[…Wait wait wait, no one can explain this? What's going on? ! ! 】

[Didn’t Teacher Tian and Teacher Zhou just say that the ranking of Su Yu and Nicholas depends on the screenshots of the finish line? There is no finish line screen now, so how come the results are suddenly released? Su Yu won the bronze medal? ! 】

[I'm so confused, don't you have any friends who can explain it to me? 】

[Yeah... If I remember correctly, the tone of voice of Teacher Tian and Teacher Zhou just now was almost telling us that 'Su Yu might not get a medal'. How come Su Yu suddenly won a medal in the end? ? ? 】

As for the current situation, they were even more confused than the sudden appearance of the double gold medals in the men's high jump. After all, they had watched the double gold medals in the men's high jump round by round with their own eyes, and saw Jiang Yuan and Vladislav fight to a tie in the end. But this time, they really didn't understand the competition between Su Yu and Nicholas for the bronze medal? !

After the results came out, a replay finally appeared on the electronic screen. A track and field fan also jumped out of the live broadcast room of Jigu Video and explained to the bystanders:

[Hahahaha, I was so excited just now! Don't be in a hurry! See, isn’t the explanation here? 】

In the replay footage from the scene, Nicholas of the British team had already stepped over the line and crossed the lane during the curve - in a sprint race, athletes must complete the entire race on their own track. Once they cross the lane and enter someone else's track, it will be considered a foul and their results will be cancelled.

It is precisely because of the existence of this rule that the contestants' control ability in corners becomes particularly important. After all, if the control ability is not good, it is entirely possible that they will lose results due to lane deviation during the race.

In this final, Nicholas Olindlin of the British team made such a mistake. He accelerated with all his strength in the early stage, but failed to pay attention to controlling his curve line in time, so that he strayed into the fourth lane when taking the curve.

Although no one noticed it at the time, the referee team on the scene saw Nicholas Olindlin's foul in the cornering stage when they reviewed the game video to confirm whether the players had committed fouls.

Therefore, when Nicholas Olindlin committed a foul, there was no need to continue to call up the finish line screen to confirm the final ranking between Nicholas and Su Yu - because Nicholas's results had been directly cancelled after the foul.

After the live broadcast of Nicholas's foul footage, the final result of the men's 200-meter sprint final was replayed on the electronic screen.

Final results of the men's 200m sprint final at the 2018 World Youth Athletics Championships in Tampere, Finland -

First place: Oliver Wells (UK), 20.42 seconds (wind speed -0.1m/s), starting reaction time 0.152s, PB;

Second place: Marcus Stewart (USA), 20.47 seconds (wind speed -0.1m/s), starting reaction time 0.142s;

Third place: Su Yu (China), 20.59 seconds (wind speed -0.1m/s), start reaction time 0.119s, NU18B;

Fourth place: Ismael Schaeffers (South Africa), 20.79 seconds (wind speed -0.1m/s), bubble reaction time 0.146s;

Fifth place: …

(No place in the final) Nicholas Olindling (Great Britain), DQ (disqualified due to foul)

…

After the electronic screen replayed the foul footage of Nicholas Olindlin, all the audience finally understood why Nicholas suddenly lost the bronze medal that seemed to have belonged to him.

At the finish line, Nicholas was confidently waiting for the bronze medal that should have belonged to him after crossing the finish line. Although he felt a little regretful for not winning the silver or even the gold medal, the bronze medal was also a very remarkable result!

He even felt that he had performed very well in this game and should have broken his personal best!

The staff of the British team were all smiling and had already presented the British flag to Oliver Wells and Nicholas respectively. They both even draped the flag over themselves and prepared to celebrate around the field.

After all, in Nicholas's opinion, he should have defeated Su Yu in the fourth lane at the last moment - from the perspective of professional athletes like them, this judgment is still very accurate.

But no one expected that he had just put on the national flag and had not started to walk around the field with Oliver to celebrate the victory of their British team, but suddenly the final result that appeared on the big screen on the scene gave him a heavy blow.

This result even far exceeded his worst expectations - after all, he had originally thought that the worst possibility was that Su Yu really surpassed him at the last moment, and his bronze medal changed hands and he only got fourth place in the end.

But what about now… ?

More than just a bronze medal?

He couldn't even get fourth place, and ultimately ended up being disqualified for a foul in a game that should have been his best performance.

At this moment, Nicholas simply could not accept such a result. The national flag draped over him seemed like a huge mockery at this moment.

“This is impossible…!”

Even though the final results on the large electronic screen clearly told him that all this was true, Nicholas still couldn't bear the blow of the moment.

He couldn't help but start to regret why he had to speed up so hard when going through the curve... He believed that as a result of years of training, he would be able to control his rhythm and state even if he accelerated hard, but he never expected that the result of forced acceleration would be that he would lose control of his curve route and eventually be disqualified.

Thinking of this, Nicholas couldn't help but mutter, "But he...but that guy from the Chinese team, he also showed a speed in today's game that was beyond his previous preliminaries and semi-finals. He also forced himself to speed up and explode in the early stages!"

As Nicholas' teammate, Oliver Wells had a good relationship with Nicholas. He did not start celebrating around the field at this time, but patted Nicholas on the shoulder to comfort his teammate.

But when he heard Nicholas's unwilling murmur, Oliver also remembered the playback footage he had just seen on the electronic screen.

As Nicholas said, Su Yu also burst out with unprecedented speed in the run-up to the final. His acceleration on the curves was faster than in any of his previous games.

But Oliver also noticed that although the young Chinese player sped up, his control over himself after speeding up was still perfect - you know, even though Nicholas felt that he was in good shape after speeding up, Oliver could see that after Nicholas further accelerated in the corners, his control over his body was actually not as good as usual.

The only explanation for this situation is that... the young player of the Chinese team has a very solid technical foundation. At the same time, in his future stages, he should have the ability to perform close to what he did in this game.

Oliver had also been through a phase like this before - his reserves of ability were already sufficient, but because his understanding of the technology and his analysis of his own abilities were too detailed, he subconsciously created a safety line in his mind, believing that his speed needed to be within this line to match his overall rhythm distribution.

In fact, as long as he can break through this psychological boundary, he will find that he actually has the speed ability that exceeds his psychological expectations.

At this moment, Oliver was looking at the young Chinese team member not far away, who was being hurriedly draped with the national flag by the Chinese team staff, and he felt very alert.

He knew that China was a major sports country, but in the 200-meter event, there was only one athlete named "Zhan" who could reach world-class level.

But now, this 15-year-old Chinese player...his appearance, together with the Chinese team's 'Zhan', may quickly change the situation of the Chinese team in the men's 200m event.

Oliver looked at the young man wearing the Chinese team's flag - even though the young Chinese player only won a bronze medal this time, Oliver still felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart.

He thought that Su from the Chinese team might be his future rival!
