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 129
When Han Yiqing arrived in Doha, exhausted, it was around 2 p.m. local time in Doha.
As soon as he got off the plane, Han Yiqing immediately contacted "Traveling with the Wind" in the group. The real name of "Traveling with the Wind" was Sui Feng, and he laughed heartily when he received Han Yiqing's call.
Sui Feng: "I'm at the airport, I arrived an hour earlier than you. I figured your landing time would be about the same, so I just waited for you at the airport."
They are all friends in the group. It is a rare opportunity for them to meet in a foreign country and watch the game together. Sui Feng is also very happy. He has asked his partner in Doha to help buy another ticket for the Asian Championships. He is waiting for Han Yiqing to arrive and then they can find a hotel to check in and go to Khalifa to watch the game together in the evening.
The two quickly confirmed the meeting place on the phone. After the two met, Sui Feng looked at the simple luggage in Han Yiqing's hand and smiled: "Old Han, you really are... you just decided to leave right away?"
Han Yiqing also laughed when he heard this: "Isn't that so?"
Last night he saw Sui Feng’s Asian Championships ticket in the group chat, and immediately searched for flights from City G to Doha. Fortunately, the flight at 5:30 in the morning was still on sale, so he bought the ticket on the spot, packed his luggage, drove straight to the airport, and slept the entire way on the plane before he recovered.
"I'm fine now. I got enough sleep on the plane and am looking forward to the Asian Championship final tonight!"
When everyone in their 400-meter sprint fan group heard the news that Han Yiqing and Sui Feng had met at Doha Airport, they were all envious and jealous.
Monk Guo Debiao: [Old Han, Old Han, I always thought you were an honest man, but you actually went to apply for a visa secretly! 】
Lao Nong Guo Debiao: [This is extremely abominable. If I hadn’t had a visa, I would have thought about it last night. I would have bought a red-eye flight to your city G, and then I would have flown to Doha on the same flight as you…]
As a result, I realized that I didn’t have a visa for Qatar, so this idea came to nothing.
The old horse knows the way: [Traitor! 】
It’s Lao Hu, not Lao Hu: [I never expected that the leader of this group would be such a treacherous person! 】
The entire group was filled with voices criticizing Han Yiqing, and the air was filled with a sour lemon smell, but Han Yiqing's face was filled with a happy smile.
Han Yiqing: [Friends, this is called being prepared! Just a reminder, Qatar visa is valid for three months. It is April now, and I plan to apply for a new visa around August. 】
After hearing what Han Yiqing said, everyone in the group was stunned.
Lao Ma Shi Tu: [Apply for another visa in August? 】
Han Yiqing: [Well, you didn’t forget that there is the World Championships in October, right? 】
After Han Yiqing finished speaking, he quickly added: [There is one thing that everyone was so happy last night that they probably forgot. Su Yu’s current personal best in the 400m is 45.67 seconds…]
The group members thought that Han Yiqing's words were a bit weird at first, but some of them soon realized it: [...Fuck! 45.67 seconds! ! ! 】
This result is not only 0.17 seconds away from the domestic 400-meter record, but also...what was the qualifying score for the men's 400-meter sprint in this World Championships? !
Monk Guo Debiao: [Damn, in Rio in 2016, the qualifying line for the men's 400m was 45.40 seconds, what was the qualifying line for this year's World Championships... When the qualifying line for the World Championships came out, I remember everyone was saying that it was higher than the Rio standard. I was afraid I would get angry after watching it, so I simply didn't watch it. 】
It’s Lao Hu, not Lao Hu: [I checked, it’s 45.30 seconds. 】
Monk Guo Debiao: [! ! ! 】
Lao Ma Shi Tu: [45.30 seconds, this is still a bit far from Su Yu’s current results...]
Although everyone now knows that Su Yu held back in the 400m semi-final last night, to be honest, judging from Su Yu's performance at the time, even if he held back, it probably wouldn't have been much.
Now everyone generally believes that it should be no problem for Su Yu to break 45.50 to refresh the Chinese men's 400-meter sprint record, but even between 45.50 and 45.30, there is still a gap of 0.2 seconds.
In a sprint race, 0.2 seconds is enough to create a huge gap between runners!
Instead, Han Yiqing directly sent a message in the group: [As long as Su Yu can rush under 45.50 seconds, there is hope! 】
***
At the same time, Liu Qinlong, who was discussing Su Yu's 400-meter results with Sun Gaoshu and Zheng Sheng, said exactly the same thing as Han Yiqing.
When saying this, Liu Qinlong's voice was filled with suppressed excitement.
Liu Qinlong: "I have calculated that there are 48 places for the men's 400m sprinters in the Doha Athletics World Championships. Taking the number of runners who ran under 45.30 last season as a reference, there were about 65 runners in the world who ran under 45.30 last season. By the end of the qualifying window for the World Championships this season, the number of runners should not exceed the number of qualified runners last season."
"Based on the number of 65 people, last season, among the 83 people who ran under 45.50 seconds, 20 were from the United States, 7 were from Jamaica, and 4 were from Spain..."
When Liu Qinlong said this, Sun Gaoshu and Zheng Sheng actually understood what he meant.
Generally speaking, there are only two ways to qualify for the World Championships.
First, win the various continental track and field championships.
Secondly, to achieve the qualifying result for the World Championships, taking the men's 400m sprint as an example, that means running within the qualifying range of 45.30 seconds.
Although there were as many as 65 athletes around the world who could run under 45.30 seconds last season, at least 20 of these 65 athletes were American athletes, and there were about seven or eight Jamaican athletes.
But in fact, there is a participation restriction in the World Championships - each country has only 3 seats in each event, unless the fourth competitor in the country is the defending champion of the event. However, the men's 400m champion of the 2017 London Athletics World Championships was not an American athlete, so even if the United States has more than 20 qualified athletes, there will only be 3 American athletes who can actually qualify for the World Championships.
Similarly, out of the seven or eight Jamaican athletes who are capable of meeting the standards, only three will be able to qualify for the World Championships.
After removing the extra runners from the United States and Jamaica, there are only about 40 left out of the 65 who can run under 45.30 seconds.
Assuming the number is 43, compared with the number of participants in the World Championships, there is still a gap of about 5 participants.
In this case, the IAAF will start screening out athletes based on their personal best historical results in the current season.
There will still be less than 20 athletes in the range of 45.30-45.50, among which there will still be five or six American athletes and one or two Jamaican athletes, and perhaps one or two athletes from Spain or other countries.
After these contestants are eliminated... there will be about a dozen contestants competing for the possible 5 replacement spots!
Just as Liu Qinlong said, as long as Su Yu can run within 45.50 seconds, even if he can't reach the men's 400m qualifying score of 45.30 seconds, he will still have a chance to qualify for the World Championships!
The night before, after confirming that Su Yu said he still had energy left, Liu Qinlong returned to his hotel room. He did not sleep well all night as this was the only thing he was thinking about.
As long as Su Yu has a chance to run under 45.50 seconds... the Chinese team will have a chance to qualify for the men's 400m sprint in the World Championships!
It can be said that this is almost the closest the Chinese team has ever been to qualifying for the men's 400m sprint at the World Championships!
Not to mention Liu Qinlong, even Sun Gaoshu and Zheng Sheng were involuntarily moved after hearing Liu Qinlong's analysis.
They had never imagined that after just one winter training cycle, Su Yu was already so close to qualifying for the men's 400m at the World Championships!
After listening to Liu Qinlong's analysis, Sun Gaoshu and Zheng Sheng suddenly couldn't help but feel fortunate that Pei Dingshan and Su Yu were determined to participate in the competition with their full strength, which brought this opportunity to participate in the World Championships to them.
But after a brief excitement, Sun Gaoshu and Zheng Sheng suddenly understood what Liu Qinlong meant - now Su Yu has the opportunity to qualify for the World Championships not only in the men's 400m sprint, but also in the men's 200m and 100m. Although Su Yu has not actually participated in the new season, his performance in the 400m has improved so much. Even though Su Yu focused more on regulating his own state and controlling his rhythm during the winter training period... can it be said that Su Yu's performance in the 200m and 100m has not improved?
Is it possible that they believe this?
But this is where the problem comes in.
if……
What if, by then, Su Yu really gets the qualification to participate in the World Championships in the 100m, 200m and 400m events? At that time... will Su Yu really be allowed to participate in these three individual sprint events of the World Championships at the same time? !
For a moment, in the hotel room, Sun Gaoshu, Zheng Sheng and Liu Qinlong looked at each other. None of them was willing to give in to the other, fearing that if their momentum weakened, they would be pushed down by the other two.
Finally, Sun Gaoshu saw that it was almost time to take the players to Khalifa Stadium to prepare for the evening race. He coughed and said, "Why rush? Let's wait until Su Yu finishes tonight's race."
Zheng Sheng and Liu Qinlong also understood - Su Yu's results in the 100m and 200m are already here. If you want to compete in the 400m, at least wait until Su Yu can really break the national record in the 400m tonight.
After all, before the winter training began, the three of them had negotiated that although Su Yu would receive 400-meter training during the winter training, after the start of the new season, the national team would arrange a large number of 100-meter and 200-meter international competitions for Su Yu, and the 400-meter schedule would be postponed.
So far, although Su Yu started the new season by running 400 meters, this was initially just an opportunity for Su Yu to verify his results in the 400 meters event. The reason why he rushed to the Asian Championships again was just an accident.
After the Asian Championships, Su Yu’s next schedule will basically have little to do with the 400 meters.
So if Liu Qinlong really wants Su Yu to qualify for the men's 400m in the World Championships, he has to see whether Su Yu can really break the national record of 45.50 seconds in the men's 400m final tonight.
After Liu Qinlong understood the hidden meaning of Sun Gaoshu, he suddenly became nervous.
Yes, whether Su Yu can qualify for the World Championships, tonight's men's 400m sprint final of the Asian Championships may be the crucial battle!
***
At 5:10 in the evening, the Chinese team's players were ready and followed the national team's bus to the Khalifa Stadium.
Since the champions of the men's 100m and men's 400m will be decided tonight at the Khalifa Stadium, and the championship battle of this sprint event can be said to be the most exciting scene in track and field events, there are many more spectators coming to the Khalifa Stadium tonight than the night before.
The scene was bustling with people spectating and discussing.
At 7:15 p.m., the men's 100m semi-finals came first. China's Zheng Tianxi and Feng Chuming appeared in the first and third groups of the semi-finals respectively. Both Zheng Tianxi and Feng Chuming performed extremely stably and did not give their opponents any chance of luck.
In these two semi-finals, Zheng Tianxi and Feng Chuming won the first place in their respective groups with scores of 10.12 and 10.16 respectively, and easily advanced to the men's 100-meter sprint final two hours later with the top rankings in the semi-finals.
After the semi-finals of the men's 100-meter sprint, the men's/women's 400-meter hurdles, men's/women's 800 meters, men's triple jump, women's long jump and other events were held one after another on the field.
It was not until 8:55 p.m. that the staff at the stadium readjusted the starting blocks and lane number plates on the track. The domestic track and field fans and spectators who had been waiting late at night suddenly perked up - it was coming!
***
In China, in the Jigu video live broadcast commentary room, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming were already familiar with today's schedule. As early as when the previous event was about to end, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming were already looking forward to seeing the contestants' entrance channel, wanting to see the familiar face that everyone had been looking forward to all day.
In the competition the day before, although Zhou Jiming subconsciously thought about the question "Why is Su Yu's starting reaction time only 0.139 seconds today" at the beginning of the competition, Su Yu's performance and final result were so exciting that Zhou Jiming completely ignored Su Yu's starting reaction time data.
It was not until the report of Liu Yu interviewing the Chinese team's coaching staff came out that he slapped his thigh - what a Su Yu!
At this moment, while waiting for Su Yu to appear on the stage, Zhou Jiming couldn't help but joked with Tian Ruhui: "Teacher Tian, I think in the final later, we should be able to see Su Yu's long-awaited full-strength start, right?"
After hearing Zhou Jiming's question, Tian Ruhui couldn't help laughing: "I hope so?"
At this moment, after hearing the conversation between Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming, the spectators in the live broadcast room burst into laughter, and the whole live broadcast room was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
But joking aside, after Su Yu and the contestants in his group actually appeared on the stage, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming still carefully conducted a comprehensive science popularization for all the audience present, and also explained to everyone the actual strength rankings of the two players of the Chinese team.
Not only the strength ranking, but also the lane division situation that was not very friendly to the Chinese team tonight was explained in detail, for fear that some spectators would have unreasonable expectations such as maintaining fourth place, striving for third place, maintaining third place, striving for second place because of Su Yu's report today.
Tian Ruhui said with great emphasis: "Su Yu's performance this season has led China's men's 400m sprint to a great leap forward, but we must realize that China's men's 400m is still relatively weak in Asia. The Chinese team is still some distance away from the top level of Asian men's 400m sprint."
Even if the Chinese team does not compete for the top level in Asia, but only wants to obtain the title of "Asia's first-class level", at least there must be athletes who can first bring the Chinese team's men's 400-meter sprint performance level to within 45.30 seconds.
It is obvious that the Chinese team is still a long way from 45.30 seconds.
In the live broadcast room, the joyful atmosphere that was originally created due to the upcoming men's 400m race suddenly became silent after the heavy commentary of Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming.
But the track and field fans and even the spectators in the live broadcast room all know that jokes aside, the true strength of the Chinese team is still unavoidable.
Only by facing history can we better change the future.
***
The atmosphere in the live broadcast room was a little depressing, but at the Khalifa Stadium in Doha, Qatar, the atmosphere instantly became hot after the audience saw the contestants of the men's 400m final appear one after another.
All the spectators were cheering loudly to the contestants on the field, giving them the warmest welcome and cheers.
When Su Yu stepped onto the field, the two big men Sui Feng and Han Yiqing in the audience were shouting "Come on" and "I love you" to Su Yu at the top of their lungs.
Thanks to the large number of people at the scene, Sui Feng and Han Yiqing's "I love you" did not really reach Su Yu's ears, but unfortunately, their positions were relatively close to one of the live cameras, which happened to be within the reception range of the live camera. When the director of Jigu Video cut to this camera, he heard the passionate "Su Yu, I love you" from the scene.
Jigu video director: “…”
Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming in the Jigu video live commentary room: "..."
All the viewers who stayed up late to watch the game in the live broadcast room: "...Pfft!"
A burst of laughter suddenly spread throughout the entire live broadcast room. Even the heavy atmosphere brought by Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming before could not affect this cheerful atmosphere.
Tian Ruhui couldn't help laughing and said, "I didn't expect there would be such an enthusiastic Chinese audience at the scene."
The crowd in the 400-meter sprint fan group who were squatting in the live broadcast room were like lemons, sour for ten miles away.
[Fuck, this voice is from Lao Han and Sui Feng! 】
[These two guys are in such a good position!] 】
[I want to go see the scene too...! Damn it! 】
These sour remarks were not very noticeable among the comments filling the screen, but only caused another round of laughter.
At the scene, Su Yu did not hear the strange cheering that might annoy him. After he came on the court, he went directly to his lane. After adjusting his starting block angle and front and back position, he stood up and looked around.
At this moment, in the seventh lane behind his left is Marino Dotolić, with whom he had competed in the preliminaries, and in the ninth lane in front of his right is Lin Zekai.
Regarding Lin Zekai's situation in tonight's final, Su Yu, Lin Zekai, Pei Dingshan and Liu Qinlong also communicated at noon, and finally decided to let Lin Zekai adopt a risky plan in the final - running freely.
After all, with Lin Zekai's current performance, even if he controls his rhythm throughout the whole process, because he is in the outermost lane, he does not have an opponent to refer to like in the semi-finals.
The distance between the 400m runners is about twice as long as the starting distance for the 200m. There is a distance of about 7 meters between the runners in two adjacent lanes, and the outermost lane extends about 50 meters further forward than the innermost lane.
It would be unrealistic and meaningless for Lin Zekai to wait for the runners in the eighth or seventh lane to run ahead of him and then follow their opponents' rhythm. And if Lin Zekai were to complete the race based on his relatively immature rhythm control ability, the final result would probably not be ideal.
In this case, it would be better to let Lin Zekai run at his own pace in the future - at most he would run the first 200 meters as if he were running a 200-meter race. However, even according to Lin Zekai's most primitive control ability, he would not completely exhaust his physical energy in the first 200 meters.
His biggest problem was that after the first 200 meters had exhausted a lot of his energy, he was unable to control his rhythm and make adjustments in the third 100-meter stage.
So when Pei Dingshan gave him a risky plan, by the third 100-meter stage, the positions between Su Yu and him might have been reversed. At that time, he would try to run at Su Yu's pace.
Of course, this kind of rhythm following is actually problematic - Su Yu's overall strength is stronger than Lin Zekai, especially Su Yu's ability in the later stages, which is actually a huge burden for Lin Zekai.
But for now, this plan is better than letting Lin Zekai run completely freely and eventually losing his rhythm.
Therefore, after considering it himself, Lin Zekai decisively agreed to this plan.
At this moment, Lin Zekai happened to turn around and noticed that Su Yu was looking at him. He also nodded in Su Yu's direction very seriously.
After seeing him nod, Su Yu did not make any extra movements. He just stretched his posture on the spot and adjusted his state.
On the field, from the second lane to the sixth lane, players such as Hargit Coleman, Sergey Kasper, Hiroki Ishikawa, Abdulaziz, and Miyamoto Mirai have also made preparations for their respective competitions.
On the field, the atmosphere between the eight players was tense, as if a big fight was about to start between them in the next second - and of course, this was actually the case.
When the camera on the scene swept across the eight players on the field, the smell of gunpowder gradually spread across the field. The expressions of the players were either stern or serious, while some frowned with a nervous look.
When the camera on the scene swept over Su Yu on the eighth lane, many people were amazed by the handsome face of the young man on the field, but some people also noticed that the young man on the eighth lane also had a desire for victory in his eyes.
In the men's 400m sprint final, the final is about to begin.
After observing that the contestants on the field were ready, the official starter on the scene first blew a whistle to remind the contestants that the game was about to begin. Soon afterwards, the command of "get ready" rang in the ears of all the contestants.
The next second, the eight athletes on the field quickly circled to their respective starting blocks, supported themselves with their hands, and quickly stepped their legs onto the starting blocks one after the other, ready to get in position for the start of the race.
The starter on the field did not make the contestants wait too long. After he confirmed that all the contestants were ready, a new "ready" command was quickly sounded on the scene.
On the track, after hearing this command, the eight runners quickly put their hands on the ground and raised their hips, slightly bent their legs and leaned forward, preparing themselves for the next command.
Then, after a brief "ready" sound, less than a breath later, there was a "bang" and the starting gun went off...
"The game begins!!"
In the live commentary room of Jigu Video, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming looked at the live broadcast screen transmitted back from the scene with tension after hearing the starting gun. Zhou Jiming habitually took a look at the starting reaction time data of the players after the start of the game.
This time, on the eighth lane, Su Yu's reaction at the start was -
“0.122 seconds!!”
There is no doubt that this is the normal reaction state that Su Yu should have when starting. It also shows that Su Yu is in excellent condition in this men's 400m sprint final!
Although Su Yu was in excellent condition in the eighth lane, in this game, players such as Abdulaziz and Malito Dotolic in the fifth and seventh lanes all showed their best condition and performance on the field.
“What a fast speed!”
Tian Ruhui watched the performance of Abdul Aziz in the fifth lane on the field. This player from Kuwait had a mediocre performance in the preliminaries. Even in the semi-finals he lost to Hiroki Ishikawa of the Japanese team and did not seem to be in very good form.
But now in the finals, just in the starting stage, Abdul Aziz's performance was enough to show his strength.
The athlete from Kuwait showed a strong burst of performance at the start, and quickly increased his speed in the explosive acceleration phase of the first 30 meters. Even when turning, he showed a very strong and domineering speed.
Even though the Japanese star Miyamoto Mirai was in the sixth lane next to him, Abdul Azis was still rapidly closing the distance between him and Miyamoto Mirai at an extremely strong speed.
In lane six, Japan's Miyamoto Mirai's performance at the start was actually quite good, but with Abdul Aziz's rapid approach, Miyamoto's performance seemed a little awkward.
In fact, it is not only the threat from Abdulaziz, but also the strong performance of Marino Dotolic from Bahrain in the seventh lane also brought huge pressure to Miyamoto Mirai.
Although Miyamoto Mirai told himself to maintain his overall rhythm, when the starting gun sounded, he couldn't help but follow the rhythm of Marino Dotolic in the seventh lane.
Relatively speaking, although the Japanese star Hiroki Ishikawa in the fourth lane also felt some pressure when facing Abdelaziz, Sergey Kasper behind him on the left did not pose too much threat to him, allowing Hiroki Ishikawa to control his overall race rhythm relatively normally at this stage.
As for Su Yu in the eighth lane, this was the first time he had gone all out in the 400-meter competition since the start of this year's outdoor season. Although he still remembered to control his rhythm and physical distribution, the excitement and anticipation that had been suppressed for a long time had already involuntarily surged out in his mind.
In this game, Su Yu finally truly felt the pleasure of being able to fully release his competitive state in a certain game after deliberately adjusting and controlling the rhythm and suppressing his own game state for a period of time.
Su Yu also realized more and more deeply how important Pei Dingshan's requirements for his schedule and control of his condition were to him.
If he did not have such a deep control over his overall performance and condition before today this season, then in today's crucial final, he would certainly not be able to release such a full state and strength as he did today!
In the live broadcast room of Jigu Video, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming praised Su Yu after seeing his condition: "Su Yu looks very good!"
Yes, although Su Yu’s first 100-meter stage was not the fastest among the players on the field, it was still in the middle stage - you know, Su Yu was not good at the early stage, what he was really good at was his middle and late stages.
At the same time, in today's men's 400m final, Su Yu and Lin Zekai were originally at the bottom of the strength rankings. Under such circumstances, Su Yu's first 100m stage was able to be in the middle, which was already a reflection of Su Yu's excellent performance!
It was also at this time that many viewers in the live broadcast room discovered that Su Yu’s performance was good, and Lin Zekai’s rhythm on the ninth lane seemed... ?
【Depend on! What happened to King Mang? Is this recklessness again? ! 】
Many track and field fans have a deep understanding of Lin Zekai's rhythm. Given Lin Zekai's speed ability, if he controls his speed, he will definitely not be able to run at such a speed.
Lin Zekai didn't fall behind in the first stage, which meant he was reckless again...
Some track and field fans subconsciously wanted to feel heartbroken, but they soon remembered that in today's final, Lin Zekai's strength was originally at the bottom. If he was allowed to control his speed and he was in the ninth lane, there was no way he could run like in the semi-finals.
After realizing the lane order issues that had been analyzed before the race, these track and field fans quickly understood that for Lin Zekai, it didn't make any sense whether he controlled his speed or not in this race. Perhaps just running as fast as he could would allow him to experience the actual feeling of the race.
After realizing this, track and field fans were helpless, but at the same time they temporarily shifted their attention away from Lin Zekai and focused more on the battle between Abdulaziz and Marino Dotolic on the field.
Soon, the audience in the live broadcast room saw that, except for Abdulaziz and Marino Dotolic, when the race reached the second 100-meter track, which was the first straight track on the field, Kazakhstan's Sergey Kasper, who was originally believed by many people to not pose much threat in the final stage, actually relied on his extremely strong straight-line speed to catch up with the Japanese star Hiroki Ishikawa in the fourth lane.
Hiroki Ishikawa in the fourth lane was not aware of the threat from Sergey Kasper. He was just sprinting at full speed, trying to catch up with Abdulaziz in front of him as much as possible. Until the end of the first corner, there was a sudden burst of loud cheers from the audience.
It was also at this time that Hiroki Ishikawa suddenly realized that since entering the second corner, Sergey Kasper in the third lane had approached him and was about to overtake him!
You know, there is a 7-meter gap between adjacent lanes of 400-meter runners at the start. Even though they have already gone through a bend phase, now they are entering the second bend phase, and the distance between the two of them is almost evened out...
But it was only almost there!
Logically speaking, Sergey Kasper would not be able to close the gap in reach between him and him until at least the exit stage.
The only explanation for the current situation is... he is behind!
This discovery made Hiroki Ishikawa's heart skip a beat, and he subconsciously stepped off the track. Although it was not a foul, it had a huge impact on his entire cornering rhythm at this moment in the final!
At the same time, Han Yiqing and Sui Feng at the scene had also discovered that when entering the third 100-meter stage, the front and back positions of Su Yu and Lin Zekai in the eighth and ninth lanes had changed.
Of course, they both knew that this meant that Su Yu had completely surpassed Lin Zekai. Although this represented that Su Yu performed well, it also meant that Lin Zekai's results were not ideal.
Especially since Lin Zekai had basically released his "reckless king" characteristics and rushed all the way in the first two 100-meter races. If he followed Lin Zekai's previous rhythm habits, he might be able to rush mindlessly for a while in the third 100-meter stage, but the last 100-meter stage would be the time when his rhythm would completely collapse...
After seeing this situation, Han Yiqing and Sui Feng subconsciously frowned, but soon, they suddenly discovered that the rhythm of the Reckless King Lin Zekai seemed to be suddenly controlled after he fell behind Su Yu? !
"Shit!!! I got it!!"
Han Yiqing couldn't help but shouted excitedly, and Sui Feng beside him was of course also good at understanding. Soon the two looked at each other, became excited, and watched the scene on the field with even greater excitement.
At this moment in the arena, the athletes were running through the last bend and were about to enter the sprint stage of the fourth 100-meter stage.
At this moment in the field, Abdul Aziz's leading position was almost unstoppable. Experienced viewers knew from the rhythm and situation that Abdul Aziz should have broken the 45-second mark in this 400-meter final!
Following Abdulaziz closely was Bahraini athlete Marino Dotolić in lane seven. This young naturalized athlete from Bahrain possessed outstanding speed ability, speed endurance and a firm will. Even though Abdulaziz already had an absolute advantage on the field, Marino Dotolić had no intention of giving up the competition.
Even after connecting from the curve to the straight, Marino Dotolić was still gradually closing the gap between him and Abdulaziz with his speed.
At the same time, the Japanese team had two players advance to the finals at the same time. Miyamoto Mirai in the sixth lane had his overall rhythm disrupted by Abdulaziz and Marino Dotolic shortly after the start of the game. Now Miyamoto Mirai has fallen far behind, almost in the same position as Lin Zekai in the ninth lane.
Although Hiroki Ishikawa in the fourth lane performed slightly better than Miyamoto Mirai, he was affected by Sergey Kasper in the second turn and made two consecutive mistakes in the turn, causing his position to drop rapidly!
Sergey Kasper in the third lane entered the last straight after the last bend and quickly established himself in the third place. But at the same time, Sergey Kasper did not intend to give up the fight for the final ranking. After entering the last 80 meters, Sergey started to sprint at full speed, obviously wanting to challenge Marino Dotolic who was in second place!
And now...
"The two players of the Chinese team are in the fifth and seventh place respectively...!"
In the live broadcast room of Jigu Video, after seeing Su Yu and Lin Zekai on the eighth and ninth lanes, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming quickly discovered that Lin Zekai did not show any sign of rhythm collapse in the final stage...!
If Lin Zekai's original rhythm had collapsed, then at this stage he would definitely not have been able to stay in the seventh position, and might have already been overtaken by Miyamoto Mirai, who was in last place.
But now, starting from the third 100-meter stage, after being overtaken by Su Yu, Lin Zekai has been steadily following Su Yu's rhythm. Although he may not be able to keep up with Su Yu's speed, he has successfully caught up with Su Yu's rhythm!
As for Su Yu...
Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming looked at Su Yu, whose position on the track was comparable to that of Hargit Coleman, and they couldn't help but breathe faster.
Any chance?
Any chance of surpassing Hargit Kuhlmann? !
“The last 50 meters!”
When Tian Ruhui shouted out this number, it was as if a signal for acceleration was generated. Then everyone looked at the player from the Chinese team in the eighth lane. He changed his unusually steady speed rhythm after entering the third bend, and in an instant began to accelerate at full speed and entered the final crazy sprint...!
In the audience seats, the Chinese team staff members sitting in the Chinese player zone as well as coaches such as Sun Gaoshu, Zheng Sheng, and Liu Qinlong were all waving their fists and cheering loudly towards the audience seats for Su Yu to cheer on.
Han Yiqing and Sui Feng, two 400-meter enthusiasts who had come from afar to watch the race, had already screamed crazily in the audience seats, regardless of their hoarse voices.
“Come on! Come on!!!”
"Su Yu, come on! The last 50 meters!!!"
Their voices were so excited that they seemed a little distorted in the final stage, but they had no extra thoughts to care about these things.
They just stared intently at Su Yu's performance on the field with their eyes, and then screamed one after another, watching Su Yu on the field, along with their screams, quickly narrowing the distance between him and Hargit Coleman, and then even narrowing the distance between him and Sergey Kasper little by little...!
But unfortunately, the last 50 meters was still too short, not short enough for Su Yu to take a step forward and overtake...
But this distance of 50 meters is enough...!
It was enough for Su Yu to successfully overtake the Indian player Harjit Coleman in the second lane with his final acceleration...!
“Fourth place!!! Oh my god!!!”
Finally, when Su Yu successfully surpassed Hargit Kuhlmann, he also successfully crossed the finish line of the men's 400-meter sprint final with this ranking.
At this moment, in the Jigu video live commentary room, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming shouted with excited hoarse voices: "Congratulations to Su Yu!! He successfully ranked fourth in this game - this is also the best ranking in the history of the men's 400-meter sprint achieved by Chinese athletes in the Asian Championships so far!! "
"Let us congratulate the Chinese team and Su Yu!!!"
