Before his rebirth, Su Yu was watching the live broadcast of the national team's gold medal sprint coach, Pei Dingshan.
The scene from ten years ago appeared before his eyes.
He was...
Chapter 114 (Four in One)
Not many people in the audience noticed Su Yu. After the athletes entered the straight stage, more spectators were attracted by Zhan Youming of the Chinese team at the front.
The No. 1 men's 200m runner from the Chinese team was in an almost unstoppable crushing momentum in today's men's 200m final. With the end of the curve and the turn into the straight, Zhan Youming's advantage became more and more obvious. Whether it was the official commentator on the scene or Tian Ruhui and Zhan Youming in the live commentary room of the domestic sports channel, the voices of these commentators were becoming more and more excited at this moment.
"Our player Zhan Youming is now in an absolute leading position!!"
"The last 50 meters!! Zhan Youming, that's it, hold on!!"
Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming were looking at Zhan Youming on the field at this moment, their eyes full of excitement.
As for Andrew Hamels, who should have been as famous as Zhan Youming, after his mistake in the cornering stage, Andrew Hamels' condition seemed to be relieved, and he began to lag behind Japan's Takagi Akechi.
On the field, it was obvious that Zhan Youming was the only one in the first group at this time. There was a clear gap between him and the second group behind him. In the second group behind him were Takagi Akechi from Japan and "Little Zhan" Zhan Chunhan from the Chinese Taipei team.
The young athlete from Chinese Taipei showed his best form in many consecutive games - in fact, when the starter just fired the gun today, Zhan Chunhan really thought that his starting state had collapsed. It was only after turning from the curve to the straight that Zhan Chunhan saw from the corner of his eye that there were almost no opponents on the inner lane on his left side, and he quickly reacted!
His starting reaction did not collapse, but Su Yu in the ninth lane was too fierce in the starting phase!
But although Su Yu's reaction speed at the start was fierce, in front of Zhan Chunhan, who was in excellent condition and performed well, Su Yu's strength and explosiveness were still not enough to deal with him. Therefore, in the acceleration stage on the curve, Zhan Chunhan accelerated very quickly. The curvature of the curve on the eighth lane was obviously a good help for Zhan Chunhan. Therefore, in the stage of turning from the curve to the straight road, Zhan Chunhan quickly caught up with the distance between him and Su Yu, and after exiting the curve, he quickly surpassed Su Yu and came to the second place!
As well as Zhan Chunhan, Takagi Akechi from Japan also closed in on the second place after exiting the corner quickly. The number one player of the Japanese team also performed very well. Even though there were Andrew Hames and Zhan Youming on his left and right, it did not affect his condition.
Even after Zhan Youming's explosive performance after coming out of the corner, Takagi Akechi's speed also began to explode significantly at this stage.
At about 150 meters, Zhan Youming was already at the front of the field, far ahead of the others, while Takagi Akechi and Zhan Chunhan were almost side by side.
At this time, the members of the third group behind Takagi Akechi and Zhan Chunhan were Yuki Kobayashi on the seventh lane, Andrew Hames from Bahraini player on the fourth lane, and Su Yu from the Chinese team on the ninth lane!
Travon Palmer in the second and third lanes and South Korea's Lee Jong-hyun had brief moments of brilliance in today's final, but soon they made mistakes in the corners and slowed down to the last two places, even worse than Su Yu in the ninth lane.
The current situation was something that almost no one had anticipated. After all, in the eyes of most people, Su Yu should have been one of the last two players, but no one expected that Su Yu would have such a performance in the final.
Not only Travon Palmer and Lee Jong-hyun, but also at this time in the field, when entering the last 80 meters, the distance between Su Yu and Yuki Kobayashi and Andrew Hames was only about 1.5 body lengths.
In the previous race, Yuki Kobayashi was affected by Zhan Youming, Zhan Chunhan and Su Yu, so that his own rhythm and state were completely disrupted. Although Yuki Kobayashi was trying to save his own rhythm after exiting the bend, he was not a player who was good at the later stages. Therefore, no matter how he adjusted and caught up, it was difficult to make up for the gap he had fallen behind before.
Of course, even so, Yuki Kobayashi does not want to fall too far behind.
Andrew Hames in lane 4 had a similar mentality.
But their mentality was no match for Su Yu's speed as he turned into the back straight on lane nine!
On the ninth lane, Su Yu did not pay attention to the attitudes of his opponents in other lanes. From the beginning of this final, he was concentrating on the field in front of him - in front of him on the right, where there was no one, there was a virtual character of Zhan Youming in his mind with him.
From the moment the starting gun sounded, in Su Yu's mind, not only did he start almost synchronously with the starting gun, but in his mind, the virtual 'Zhan Youming' in the front right also burst out with his rhythm at this moment.
He completely subconsciously began to follow the virtual 'Zhan Youming' in front of him on the right and started his sprint on the curve. The buff of 'limited future speed' that was originally shackled by his own thoughts had long been shattered. Although his future burst was still not particularly strong, it was countless times better than the previous restricted state.
From the start, he quickly accelerated into the curve, and he was like a flash of starlight on the curve - his speed was extremely fast, but not the kind of 'fast' that was caused by rushing forward mindlessly because he was in the ninth lane and didn't know the situation of his opponents. His entire running process on the curve did not show any sign of losing control of his rhythm.
It can even be said that if it weren't for Zhan Chunhan in the eighth lane who was mentally resolute and good at running in curves, it might not just be Yuki Kobayashi of the Japanese team who would suffer a mental breakdown in the early stages.
When Zhan Chunhan in the eighth lane overtook him after exiting the curve, Su Yu's rhythm did not lose balance because of being overtaken by his opponent. What's more, after Zhan Chunhan overtook Su Yu on the straight, perhaps the appearance of Zhan Chunhan confirmed the rhythm of the virtual 'Zhan Youming' in Su Yu's mind, which made Su Yu's running in the final straight stage seem more relaxed.
Compared with the other men's 200-meter runners, Su Yu is actually at a disadvantage in terms of his height and stride length. If he tries to make up for the stride length difference with his stride frequency because of nervousness, then Su Yu will inevitably find it difficult to reach his ideal speed in the later stages due to excessive physical energy consumption caused by the high stride frequency.
But Su Yu was always able to break out in the later stages. Relying on the balanced distribution of his own stride and frequency, he began to surpass Kobayashi step by step on the last 80-meter straight with a posture that looked much more relaxed than Kobayashi Yuki!
Yuki Kobayashi, who was in the seventh lane, originally thought that although he would lose to Zhan Youming, Takagi Akechi and Zhan Chunhan, he could at least maintain a mid-level performance.
What he never expected was that when the race reached the last fifty meters, he caught a glimpse of Su Yu from the Chinese team in the ninth lane and he actually surpassed him at this moment... ? !
...Son of the Wolf!
Of course Kobayashi Yuki knew this name, but Kobayashi Yuki had never considered any possibility that she would lose to Su Yu.
Just like Japan's current 200m young star Yusuke Sasaki, even though Yusuke Sasaki's personal best in history has reached 20.54 seconds, in fact, his overall strength is still far behind him.
For these players, PB is PB and hard power is hard power.
Unless Yusuke Sasaki can run every time under 20.75 seconds, he is still far away from this goal.
This is the case for Yusuke Sasaki in Yuki Kobayashi's heart, let alone Su Yu who just ran 20.59 seconds in the World Youth Championships?
In Yuki Kobayashi's heart, Wolf Son might have great potential, but it would take at least two or three years before he could become his rival.
but……
It was this opponent who, in his opinion, would not be able to compete with him for at least two or three years, but in this final... surpassed him? !
The moment he realized that Su Yu had surpassed him, Kobayashi Yuki almost subconsciously began to try to speed up and catch up. He tried his best to increase his stride and frequency, but in his perception, he was already speeding up, but the distance between him and Su Yu was still visibly widening.
And if he reviews this game after the game, he will find that at the moment when he thought he was "speeding up", his actual speed was actually declining.
For athletes, the most feared thing during a game is losing control of their own rhythm, and Yuki Kobayashi has undoubtedly fallen into such a state at this time.
At this point in the competition, the championship was almost a foregone conclusion. In the final 20 meters, Zhan Youming was still far ahead. Takagi Akechi and Zhan Chunhan, who were in second and third place, were tied. And after Takagi Akechi and Zhan Chunhan, it was difficult to tell who had the greater advantage between Andrew Hames in the fourth lane and Su Yu in the ninth lane!
In the live commentary room of the domestic sports channel, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming felt like their hearts were about to jump out of their throats!
Zhan Youming!
Su Yu! !
At the front, Zhan Youming pressed his upper body forward and increased the amplitude of his arm swing. His body was fully prepared for the final stretch - the last 20 meters!
The last 10 meters! ! !
"We won!!! Zhan Youming!!"
The moment Zhan Youming successfully crossed the finish line, Tian Ruhui felt as if his scalp was exploding. If the situation allowed, he would have even wanted to jump up and punch the table in the commentary room.
"The men's 200m champion! Dear audience friends! The champion of the men's 200m sprint has been born! He is the athlete from our Chinese team - Zhan Youming!!"
"Tonight's men's 200m gold medal is also the first Asian Games men's 200m sprint gold medal won by our country so far!!"
"At this historic moment, let us once again congratulate the Chinese team and congratulate Zhan Youming!!"
"So far, the Chinese team has achieved unprecedented brilliant results in the men's 100m and men's 200m sprint events. This is the result of the hard work of Chinese track and field athletes in track and field events over the years..."
…
In the live commentary room of the sports channel, as Zhan Youming crossed the finish line with an absolute lead, a series of excited and complimenting words flowed out smoothly.
While Tian Ruhui started to celebrate Zhan Youming's victory, Zhou Jiming was still paying attention to the situation on the court.
After Zhan Youming crossed the finish line first, it was still difficult to tell the advantage between the young players Zhan Chunhan of the Taipei team and Takagi Akechi of Japan until they crossed the charging line.
But after Takagi Akechi and Zhan Chunhan, Andrew Hames in the fourth lane and Su Yu in the ninth lane gradually became the winner in the last 50 meters of the race...!
***
On the track, in the final sprint stage, the virtual image of 'Zhan Youming' in Su Yu's mind has rushed towards the finish line step by step with its own unique rhythm.
And Su Yu also moved towards the finish line step by step with his own final burst of rhythm!
He knew that Zhan Youming and his men at the front had already won their own victory.
But even so, until the last second, Su Yu showed no intention of relaxing.
One step, one step!
The pounding heart echoed in his chest and in his mind, accompanying his every running step, and finally, little by little... he crossed the finish line! !
***
In the audience seats at the Chinese player zone, Zheng Sheng could only utter the hoarse words "Come on" at the end. After seeing Zhan Youming cross the finish line first, he saw Su Yu in lane nine not only successfully surpass the Japanese player Kobayashi Yuki in lane seven when the audience was focusing on the battle for the top three, but also had a lead of about half a body length over Andrew Hames in the final 20 meters!
"Oh my god...oh my god!"
The official commentator at the scene was celebrating Zhan Youming's victory one second ago, and the next second he also noticed Su Yu, who was almost a "rising star" on the ninth lane.
"That's... Su from the Chinese team?!"
"When on earth did he get to the fourth position?!"
"Is he performing some kind of magic?!"
It was not until Su Yu successfully crossed the final finish line that the official commentator on the scene excitedly shouted: "This is a miracle--!"
Who says it’s not a miracle?
Even the comments on the domestic Jigu video public screen celebrating Zhan Youming's victory paused for two seconds at this moment.
[…Oh my god, oh my god? ! ! 】
【fourth? ! Su Yu rushed to fourth place in the end? ! 】
At this moment, the track and field fans in the live broadcast room didn’t even know what to say to express their feelings at the moment.
Zhan Youming's victory was already surprising enough, but Su Yu's 'fourth' place had an impact on these track and field fans that was no less than Zhan Youming's victory!
Just imagine, among the group of finalists whose PBs except Su Yu were all within 20.50 seconds, Su Yu's appearance was like a little lamb among wolves.
Or maybe it's just like his nickname - 'Son of Wolf', he doesn't mean an adult wolf, but just a wolf son who has not yet grown up.
The Japanese praise for Su Yu certainly came with amazement and admiration, but at the same time, the meaning behind this title also meant that "this is an opponent who has not yet truly grown up."
Otherwise, if the Japanese media really believed that Su Yu posed a huge threat to Japanese sprinters, then the nickname they should give him should probably become "The Wolf of the Empire."
But today, such a player who should not be considered a threat in the eyes of all the players, actually rushed to the fourth place in this competition where the top Asian players gathered? !
“…It’s only one step away.”
Zheng Sheng, who was sitting in the audience, looked at Su Yu crossing the finish line, his face blank and his mouth mumbling.
Fourth place, just one step away from winning a medal!
Of course, Zheng Sheng also understood that this so-called "step" would actually require Su Yu to make tremendous efforts to overcome, but the achievements Su Yu had made at the moment were far beyond everyone's imagination.
Originally, in Zheng Sheng's best expectation, Zhan Youming would win the championship, and as long as Su Yu could get sixth place, it would be the perfect ending to this men's 200m final!
And now...
The result of this game has far exceeded his original best expectations!
So... now in this final, the final question is, the result!
What will be the final scores of Zhan Youming and Su Yu? ?
As a sprint coach, Zheng Sheng actually already had some expectations about Zhan Youming's performance just after Zhan Youming crossed the finish line. Especially after Zhan Youming crossed the finish line, when he saw the distance between him and Zhan Chunhan and Takagi Akechi behind him, Zheng Sheng's guesses could not help but surge.
However, the final results data had not yet appeared on the large electronic screen on site, so Zheng Sheng could only suppress the speculation in his mind and turn his attention to the large electronic screen in front of him.
At this moment, the large electronic screen on the scene was playing the final replay of the men's 200m final.
All the athletes who had already crossed the finish line were now looking at the large electronic screen with different expressions - these athletes who had already reached the finish line were also somewhat incredulous about the final result of the men's 200m final.
Of course, what they found unbelievable was not Zhan Youming's stunning blow.
What they couldn't believe was that Su Yu, who was in the ninth lane, could actually rush to the fourth position in this final...!
Why?
How did he do it?
Whether it was Yuki Kobayashi, Andrew Hames, or South Korea's Lee Jong-hyun, after seeing Su Yu's ranking, the expressions on their faces were filled with complicated thoughts of "how did I lose to him".
At the finish line of the stadium, only Zhan Youming hugged Su Yu with an excited look on his face, and rubbed Su Yu's head vigorously with both hands, making the head of this young genius who had just defeated famous players such as Kobayashi Yuki and Andrew Hames become a mess of hair.
Compared with the preliminaries and semi-finals, Su Yu's physical energy consumption was undoubtedly much more intense, but perhaps because he had a good reserve of physical energy in the early stage, so although this final consumed a lot of his physical energy, it did not reach the level of exhaustion.
After taking a few breaths, Su Yu ruthlessly raised his hand to slap away Zhan Youming's hands that were messing with his head.
But before he could open his mouth, a Chinese team staff member not far away brought the national flag to Zhan Youming. Liu Yu, who was not far from the finish line, had already rushed to the finish line with photographers and shouted to Zhan Youming, "Xiao Zhan, come and take a picture!"
Zhan Youming immediately draped the national flag over his back, then raised his hand to bring Su Yu to his side, and then opened his hands and gave each a thumbs up.
This posture looks like he is sharing the national flag and glory with Su Yu.
Liu Yu realized that Zhan Youming was taking special care of Su Yu, so he pulled him along - and in fact, judging from Su Yu's performance in the men's 200m final tonight, he really deserves such a shared honor!
Didn’t you see that the contestants not far away were still stunned at the speed Su Yu burst out in the second half?
As a reporter at the game, Liu Yu's attention was indeed focused on Zhan Youming during the final, but later when the game was replayed on the electronic big screen, he paid special attention to Su Yu, and Su Yu's performance on the electronic big screen was so amazing that it was hard not to be amazed.
Not to mention Su Yu's final sprint performance, the fact that Su Yu always maintained his own rhythm on the outermost curve, and even led Zhan Chunhan and Kobayashi Yuki astray, was already amazing enough.
Didn’t you see that Yuki Kobayashi from Japan not far away fell silent after watching the replay?
Yuki Kobayashi had never expected that the source of his defeat in this game was not Zhan Chunhan as he thought, but Su Yu on the ninth lane - it was Su Yu who misled Zhan Chunhan first, and then he lost his judgment of his own rhythm because of the pincer attack from Zhan Chunhan and Zhan Youming.
In fact, the Japanese athletes who were influenced by Su Yu were far more than just Yuki Kobayashi. There was also Akechi Takagi, a Japanese athlete who won the bronze medal in the men's 200m final.
Just after the on-site electronic screen replayed the men's 200m final, since the second and third place winners, Zhan Chunhan and Takagi Akechi, crossed the finish line almost at the same time, the electronic screen replayed the images at the finish line, confirming that the first player to cross the finish line was Zhan Chunhan from the Chinese Taipei team.
This originally seemed to have nothing to do with Su Yu, but the athletes who had watched the replay of the race at the scene could already see it - if Zhan Chunhan had not been affected by Su Yu's rhythm in the ninth lane during the explosive phase of the start, Zhan Chunhan's subsequent acceleration might not have been able to reach the speed performance just now.
In other words, in fact, it is very likely that Zhan Chunhan was influenced by Su Yu, so he burst out with a better performance than ever before.
In the final results of the competition, the difference in scores between Zhan Chunhan and Takagi Akechi was only in the thousandth place. If Zhan Chunhan had not been affected by Su Yu in the early stages, Takagi Akechi might not have won the gold medal in the end, but he would at least have won the silver medal.
When this possibility became clear, the Japanese team's coach and Takagi Akechi's faces turned green.
Some of the Japanese team's staff couldn't help but ask, "...Could Wolf Son really be the nightmare of Japanese sprinting?!"
After all, the medal of two famous Japanese players, Takagi Akechi, changed from silver to bronze, and Kobayashi Yuki only got sixth place in the final... Looking back, it was actually the influence of Su Yu.
The Japanese team staff member who spoke was quickly glared at by the people around him, and immediately covered his mouth and said sorry.
As for the Chinese team, after Zheng Sheng and his teammates figured out the logic behind this, they looked at Su Yu at the finish line as if they were looking at a miracle.
Although this is most likely a coincidence, isn't it cool enough that it's a coincidence?
Just as everyone at the scene was taking photos, exclaiming, or cheering in celebration, there was another flash on the electronic screen, and the results of the men's 200-meter sprint final came out!
As this result came out, the audience burst into enthusiastic cheers again.
Amid the cheers, Zheng Sheng and the others immediately turned their attention to the large electronic screen in front of them.

…
When the official commentator saw the results clearly on the electronic screen, there was a burst of excitement at the scene: "What a great night! Dear audience members, we just witnessed the birth of a new Asian record and a new Asian Games record!"
"And on this magical night, the one who created this miracle - oh yes, China! Another athlete from China! In this Asian Games, two athletes from China set new Asian Games records and Asian records in the men's 100-meter sprint and men's 200-meter sprint respectively!"
"This is such a magical country. Let's cheer for them again - Congratulations to the Chinese team!!!"
In the audience, Zheng Sheng froze in place again after seeing Zhan Youming's results.
Although just when the game ended, looking at the distance between Zhan Youming and Takagi Akechi, Zhan Chunhan and others, he had already guessed that Zhan Youming's result would exceed his original expectations, but he did not expect that Zhan Youming's result was even more exaggerated than he originally guessed!
19.89 seconds!
This is even a terrifying result that improved the original Asian men's 200-meter record by a full 0.08 seconds!
In fact, even Zhan Youming, who was originally confident in his performance and felt that he should have easily broken the 20-second mark, couldn't help but jump up when he saw his own result.
He gave Su Yu a big hug almost like a carnival, and then, at the reminder of Liu Yu who was equally excited, he came to the electronic timer that recorded the result of the first runner to cross the finish line. Wearing the national flag, he put one hand on the timer, and gave a big 'yeah' with a bright smile to the reporters gathered in front of the timer.
A legendary night!
This is a legendary night!
Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming in the live commentary room of the sports channel had already become hoarse with excitement. The reason for their hoarse voices was not only because of introducing Zhan Youming's results, but also because of the results of Su Yu who finished fourth in the finals!
Just today, Su Yu improved his personal best in the men's 200-meter sprint from 20.59 to 20.48, and the record currently held by Su Yu has also undergone new changes -
"Perhaps some viewers have already noticed that Su Yu is at the bottom of the current results, and his record has changed from NU18B (national U18 best) to NU20R (national U20 record)..."
At this moment, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming's emotions had temporarily calmed down a little, so they were finally in the mood to start joking.
For example, after Tian Ruhui finished speaking, Zhou Jiming beside him smiled and added: "What does this mean? This means that the age group that Su Yu can harm in the 100m and 200m events has been fully upgraded from U18 to U20!"
puff.
As soon as these words were spoken, the track and field fans in the Jigu video live broadcast room burst into laughter on the spot.
There was no way. If Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming hadn't said it just now, they wouldn't have remembered this, but they happened to mention it, so it was hard not to laugh.
After all, you see, although Su Yu is still young, he has been breaking records since the day he debuted.
Before Su Yu, the national U16 men's 100-meter sprint record in China had been dormant for many years before it was finally broken by Ye Minghao, raising the previous national U16 record from 10.50 to 10.47.
As a result, after Su Yu started participating in the competition last season, he broke the national U16 and U18 records in a single game, bringing the record to 10.41 seconds.
It was even more outrageous after the start of this season. The original NU18B record of 10.41 was already very difficult for U18 players across the country to match. As a result, Su Yu improved this record from 10.41 to 10.27, then to 10.19 to tie the world U18 best, then to refresh the world U18 best of 10.12, and finally to 10.09 in the World Youth Championship final.
_(:зゝ∠)_
As for Su Yu's results, there is nothing to say.
The name Su Yu has successfully become the number one name that young sprinters in the country least want to hear.
After all, Su Yu's current record sounds like "it's just a national U20 record", which seems pretty good.
But we also have to consider Su Yu’s actual age—he is only 15 years old! In other words, he is still only a U16 player so far. Even though he has broken a long list of U18 and U20 records, in fact, these records are equivalent to China's current U16 records.
:)
In other words, after Su Yu broke China's current U20 record for 100m and 200m, the current domestic men's 100m and men's 200m sprint records are as follows:
China men's 100m sprint U16 record, 10.09 seconds (holder: Su Yu)
China men's 100m sprint U18 record, 10.09 seconds (holder: Su Yu)
Chinese men's 100m sprint U20 record, 10.09 seconds (holder: Su Yu)
China men's 200m sprint U16 record, 20.48 seconds (holder: Su Yu)
U18, U20——Same as above.
For players who are the same age as Su Yu or younger than him, this data is very despairing.
After all, if Ye Minghao and Su Yu broke the national U16 record at the beginning, the coaches of each provincial team could still encourage their respective youth players by saying - you see, the national U16 record is not impossible to break. If Ye Minghao can break this record, and Su Yu can break this record, then you can do it too!
So the junior players from each provincial team worked really hard for a while - the result of 10.41 seconds seemed really difficult for them, but it was not completely out of reach.
As a result, at the beginning of this year, when Su Yu made his debut at the beginning of the season, the U16 record and the U18 record were changed from 10.41 to 10.27.
They could barely withstand the blow of this result, but not long after... it really didn't take long, just one day, 10.27 seconds became 10.19 seconds.
All U18 players in the country: We are tired, let’s destroy ourselves.
As for the fact that Su Yu later expanded the scope of attack from U16 and U18 to U20, these youth group players simply held hands and welcomed the new victims.
Of course, the new victims were also very calm: It doesn’t matter, we will soon be in the adult group, and you will have to suffer from Su Yu for a long time.
The response from the junior players was: Will it be transferred from Su Yu's damage radiation range to Team Zheng's damage radiation range?
_(:зゝ∠)_
In short, the mutual "attacks" between these young players and the U20 players who are about to reach adulthood are not very harmful but extremely insulting.
The situation of the athletes in the 100-meter race is exactly the same if we replicate it in the 200-meter race.
Some athletes who compete in both the 100m and 200m events fell silent when they saw Su Yu's name.
Perhaps, the best news for U16 players now is that Su Yu will be 16 years old next season.
By then, regardless of anything else, at least the national U16 records for men's 100m sprint and 200m sprint can be temporarily stopped.
As for the U18 record...whatever you like :)
Obviously, whether it is Tian Ruhui, Zhou Jiming or the track and field fans in the Jigu video live broadcast room, they are all well aware of the "resentment" of the domestic U-series athletes towards Su Yu.
But if you were to ask these U-series players who is their most admired athlete? Nine out of ten of these people would definitely write down Su Yu's name secretly and hesitantly.
There is no way around it. Sports fans admire the strong, and these young athletes of course also admire the strong.
Especially after watching today's Asian Games men's 200m sprint final, many people are sure that those young athletes in China who were shouting that Su Yu's "dominance of the U-series records is too much" must be the first to cheer and congratulate Su Yu!
***
That night, during the post-match interview, Liu Yu asked Su Yu with a smile whether he had completed the game tasks assigned to him by the coach?
Su Yu nodded with rare certainty: "Yes."
Liu Yu: "What can you say to the audience about this Asian Games?"
Su Yu thought for a moment and said, "In this Asian Games, I learned a lot of new game skills and how to adjust to different game situations. I am very grateful to my coach, Coach Zheng Sheng and Brother Youming. Next, I will continue to work hard and strive to achieve better results."
Liu Yu was quite surprised when he heard Su Yu's answers in the interview. He didn't expect that Su Yu's post-match interview was so serious.
Although it is a bit regrettable that I was unable to get a new "famous interview scene" with Su Yu, to be honest, this time in the Asian Games men's 200 meters, with this result of Zhan Youming and Su Yu, it is already the best and biggest news "famous scene".
***
That night, after the game, Zheng Sheng and his friends met Su Yu and Zhan Youming and congratulated them again.
It can be said that in this Asian Games, many gold medals were won by the African teams recruited by countries such as Bahrain and Qatar, and the Chinese team's gold medal-winning process was much more bumpy than expected before the game.
So far, the number of gold medals and medals won by the national track and field team are lower than expected before the competition. It can only barely rely on the advantage of the number of silver medals to maintain the first place in the medal table. Bahrain's African team has won nearly 10 gold medals so far, and the number of gold medals is second only to China. There are still two days of competition to go. Bahrain is likely to have a new impact on China's position in the gold medal table.
Under such circumstances, the gold medal won by Zhan Youming in the men's 200m event tonight will undoubtedly be a huge boost to the Chinese track and field team's lead in the medal table.
Moreover, Zheng Tianxi and Zhan Youming broke the Asian Games record and Asian record in the 100m and 200m respectively, taking these two records that were originally not held by the yellow race or the Chinese. These two achievements will be a great encouragement to the Chinese national track and field team as well as the track and field and sprinting careers of the Celestial Empire!
To put it a little worse, even if the Chinese team's position in the gold medal list is not ideal this time, but with the results in the men's 100m and 200m, the performance of the track and field team is acceptable enough!
The two records of Zheng Tianxi and Zhan Youming can be said to have directly given the national track and field team a "get out of jail free" medal in public opinion.
Of course, it would be better if this "golden medal of immunity from death" could be used without any need -
Next, on August 29 and August 30, the track and field schedule of the Asian Games continued. The Chinese team won several gold medals one after another, but Bahrain's African team was still chasing fiercely.
Fortunately, by the end of all track and field events of this Asian Games, the Chinese team still successfully maintained its first place in the medal table of track and field events. The Chinese team finally defeated the African Team of the Kingdom of Bahrain, which swept 12 gold medals in this Asian Games, with a slight advantage of 13 gold medals.

After the Asian Games ended, Su Yu finally flew back to China with the national track and field team.
Although the return flight still made Su Yu feel uncomfortable, perhaps because his physical energy consumption during the Asian Games was not as severe as during the World Youth Championships, he did not show any particularly serious symptoms after the plane landed. At least from his complexion, it was much better than when he flew back to China from Tampere, Finland.
But even though it doesn't seem to have much impact, the national team gave the athletes participating in the Asian Games a 7-day long vacation so that the athletes can rest and recover in the next week.
Another reason is that this month, that is, in late September, there will be a National Track and Field Championships in the country, which can be regarded as the highest level track and field event in the country. Although most of the athletes participating in the Asian Games are national team players, the national team players' membership is actually still linked to the provincial teams. Whenever the National Games and National Championships, which are crucial to the provincial teams, are held, many athletes need to return to their respective provincial teams and represent the provincial teams in the national arena.
Su Yu, Zhou Yuang, Jiang Yuan and others are no exception.
At the S Province Sports Team, Wang Changan contacted Pei Dingshan directly and asked if it would be convenient for Su Yu and the others to come back and participate in the competition. There was no other way. Among the short jump and stride events of the S Province Sports Team, the sprint results were really average. Last year's summer camp was also intended to find some sprint talents. In the end, they did find some, but now the talents have been completely planted in the national team. So if the provincial team wants to call Su Yu and the others back to participate in the competition, they also have to see if it is convenient for the national team.
Fortunately, there is no inconvenience here in the national team.
This year's Asian Games has ended. The Chinese team did not win a resounding victory, but the pre-match goals were still achieved. Even the Asian records of Zheng Tianxi and Zhan Youming can be said to have exceeded the mission.
With such a record of achievements, the next thing the national team needs to do is for the coaching staff to review the Asian Games competitions carefully, including the gold medals that were taken away by the Bahrain African Army or other countries, and at the same time start preparing for the new year's winter training that will begin in October.
As for the period before winter training...
To be honest, the National Championships is basically not a very stressful event for those athletes who can participate in the Asian Games.
The next few days passed quickly. Su Yu and his teammates rested and adjusted themselves to recover their physical strength. On September 16, he, Jiang Yuan, and Zhou Yuang set off from City B and flew to City T, Province S, where the National Track and Field Championships were held.
After reuniting with the members of the S Province Sports Team, Wang Changan looked at Su Yu and the others, whom he had not seen for only a year, and felt quite magical - the three kids who had originally emerged from their S Province Sports Team's summer camp have now grown to this point!
Next, from September 18 to September 21, Su Yu represented the S Province Sports Team in the men's 100-meter sprint and men's 200-meter sprint events.
Among them, in the men's 100-meter sprint event, Su Yu successfully won a silver medal with a score of 10.18 in the final, and in the men's 200-meter sprint final, Su Yu won the gold medal with a score of 20.65, ultimately achieving an outstanding result of one gold and one silver for the S Province Sports Team.
Of course, there are other reasons for achieving such results. For example, Zheng Tianxi did not represent Province G in the 100-meter event. In the end, the gold medalist in the 100-meter event was Feng Chuming, who represented Province H.
In the men's 200m, Zhan Youming did not participate in the National Championships this time.
Zhan Youming and Zheng Tianxi have separate training plans. In preparation for next year's World Championships, they have already gone to the national team's overseas training base. They have even represented the Chinese team in the IAAF Intercontinental Cup. Compared with these international competitions, the domestic National Championships seem less important.
After Su Yu won a gold and a silver for the S Province Sports Team, he did not stay in T City for too long. After the competition, he quickly returned to B City.
Because, as early as after the Asian Games, after returning to the national track and field team training base, Pei Dingshan privately asked him whether he would like to try the men's 400-meter sprint training.
When Su Yu first heard this question, he felt that he was somewhat inappropriate.
But soon, Pei Dingshan sorted out a series of his data, focusing on his ability to grasp the overall technique and rhythm, and the inertia of keeping his technical movements as intact as possible even when his physical strength was exhausted.
With all these things, Su Yu even realized that the training arrangements Pei Dingshan had arranged for him before, including the training on controlling his own rhythm, seemed to be paving the way for him to compete in the 400-meter event.
Thinking of this, Su Yu glanced at Pei Dingshan.
"What's wrong?"
Pei Dingshan, who was explaining his data to Su Yu, was stunned when he saw Su Yu's gaze.
Su Yu looked at him and said bluntly: "Coach, you should tell me directly."
After hearing Su Yu's words, Pei Dingshan was stunned for two seconds, and quickly understood what Su Yu meant - he once told Su Yu that he hoped Su Yu could trust him, but he did not tell Su Yu about this consideration when arranging Su Yu's subsequent concurrent project planning.
After figuring this out, Pei Dingshan nodded decisively, looked at Su Yu seriously, and said "I'm sorry" to him.
"I will let you know as soon as possible if there are any plans or arrangements related to you in the future."
Listening to Pei Dingshan's answer, Su Yu nodded.
Not only did he accept Pei Dingshan's apology, but he also agreed to take on the new challenge of the 400-meter event. If Zheng Sheng and others were to see it, they would definitely think that the way Su Yu and Pei Dingshan, as coach and athlete, get along is really weird, but for Su Yu and Pei Dingshan, they have long been accustomed to this way of communication with each other.
After Su Yu agreed to the new challenge of the 400-meter event, Zheng Sheng and Liu Qinlong from the national team took action immediately. Next, after Su Yu returned to City B from City T where the National Championships took place, the first thing he had to do was a new round of tests on his 400-meter sprinting ability!
