Chapter 150

In the audience, in the Chinese athlete area, the sprint coaching staff including Sun Gaoshu, Zheng Sheng, and Liu Qinlong were going crazy.

No one expected that in this semi-final, Su Yu would surpass players such as Emmanuel from Nigeria and Jerome from Canada.

In other words, today's semi-finals were beyond many people's expectations. Not only did Su Yu almost cross the finish line side by side with Romario Ferguson in the final stage, but the performance of Oliver Stewart of the British team also completely exceeded many people's expectations.

After all, Oliver Stewart's PB was only 10.03 seconds, and he only barely beat Su Yu and Japan's Fukushima Takitaro in this semi-final group.

As a result, Oliver Stewart maintained the second and third positions in the group in the first 90 meters of the race, and was in a stalemate with Romario Ferguson for a long time!

Even though Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming were still anxious about Su Yu's final ranking, Tian Ruhui couldn't help but exclaimed at the scene in front of him: "This is the charm of competitive sports - you will never know the final result of this game until the last moment."

"Whether it's Romario and Su Yu at the moment, or Oliver Stewart who exceeded everyone's expectations in the game just now, this kind of 'accident' is also the most exciting part of the game."

On the live broadcast room of Jigu Video, although most of the viewers were anxiously waiting for Su Yu's final ranking, some people responded to what Tian Ruhui said -

[Teacher Tian is right!] The reason why a competition is a competition is because of the wonder of the unknown. If it weren’t for the different conditions and performances of each player on the field, what would be special about the competition? It would be better for the players to train hard at home and compare their training results during the competition. 】

[I liked the previous comment! 】

…

Although the domestic time is already 23:50 and it is about to cross midnight, but under the stimulation of Su Yu's game, the audience in front of the TV and in the Jigu video live broadcast room are now more excited than each other, with their eyes as big as copper bells, waiting for the live replay video to come out.

Fortunately, the audience didn’t have to wait too long, and the director on site quickly called up the replay of the second half of the game.

The audience present once again experienced the thrill of the game in this replay, and for the contestants in this game, it was the first time for them to watch the life-and-death decisive battle in the last moments of the game from a bystander's perspective.

Jerome from Canada watched the replay on the electronic screen in shock - because the distance between Su Yu and Romario at the final moment was so close, even through the replay on the electronic screen it was difficult to clearly see who crossed the finish line first. As for this conclusion, we can only wait for the final picture from the finish line camera.

But the point that shocked Jerome at the moment was not this. What shocked him was that Su Yu was still more than one meter away from Romario and Oliver in the second half, but he was able to catch up to such an extent at the last moment...!

"Hey, friend..."

He turned to look at the Nigerian runner Emmanuel next to him in astonishment: "What happened to this guy from the Chinese team in the second half?! His speed in the last 40 meters is not inferior to those who can run under 9.80 seconds, right?!"

Without this level of speed ability, it would be difficult for Jerome to understand how Su Yu caught up with Oliver and surpassed him.

The young Nigerian player Emmanuel shook his head silently. He was not able to adjust his mood at the moment. He was obviously not satisfied with his mistake at the start and the result of this semi-final. Therefore, he was not in the mood to talk to Jerome.

Only after hearing Jerome's constant chatter did he turn his head and look at him: "Haven't you heard about this Chinese team's Su? His late-game ability is very good. This is his greatest ability."

"Not only that, but he's a world champion in the 100m, 200m and 400m - you know what that means?"

As a competitor in the 100m, 200m and 400m events at the World Championships, this means that this young player from the Chinese team has almost no weaknesses in his sprinting ability.

Not only are there no shortcomings, but they are all strengths.

After hearing this, Jerome took a deep breath and finally said, "You are wrong, Iman."

Emmanuel silently turned his head and glanced at Jerome.

Jerome said: "His biggest weakness at the moment is his age - so, we can still beat him a few times before he becomes an adult!"

Emmanuel: “…”

Emmanuel glanced at his innocent friend and said ruthlessly and coldly: "But Jerome, if you lose, I lose too."

After saying that, Emmanuel turned around and walked to the side to wait for the final result of the game.

When turning around and walking to the side, Emmanuel deliberately looked back in the direction of Su Yu - this Su from the Chinese team had now been helped up by the Chinese team's staff. Compared to the look on his face when he fell down before, he now looked much better.

...Such recovery ability.

Emmanuel did not tell the results of his observations. After all, his observation of Su Yu was too short, and he could not be sure whether his observations were correct. He could only stand aside in a somewhat impatient manner and wait for the final results.

Meanwhile, in the audience, Han Yiqing and other Su Yu fans who were part of the 400-meter sprint enthusiasts group still couldn't quite believe what they were seeing.

“Old Han…did you see clearly, Old Han?!”

Han Yiqing was just watching the replay on the electronic screen at this moment, and he almost glued his eyes to it. He also wanted to see Su Yu's final result clearly, but Romario was in the fifth lane and Su Yu was in the ninth lane. The gap between the two was quite large. It was really difficult to judge who would win or lose by looking at the way they crossed the finish line at the last moment with the naked eye.

Han Yiqing: "I can't see clearly."

Guo Debiao, as well as Lao Ma Shi Tu, Lao Hu and Sui Feng beside him, obviously did not see clearly who would win or lose in the final stage - to be honest, it would be strange if they could tell the difference clearly, after all, in the semi-final just now, the difference in results between Su Yu and Romario was only about one hundredth or one thousandth of a second.

Such a difference in performance is almost impossible to distinguish with the naked eye.

However, even though they know clearly in their hearts that they cannot tell the difference in scores, they cannot stop their anxious mood and want to repeatedly confirm the results with their companions.

Just like Sun Gaoshu and others in the Chinese athlete zone, when they were cheering at the top of their lungs while watching Su Yu cross the finish line, they felt that their brains were as congested as their throats.

It is no exaggeration to say that at that moment they all felt as if their bodies were electrified. They felt numb all over, and then ecstasy filled their whole bodies.

They have always believed that Su Yu would be able to try his best to run a good result even in the semi-finals, but they really couldn't have imagined that Su Yu could actually run such a good result...!

The third place in the bottom group of the men's 100m sprint semi-finals of the World Championships...!

Even though Su Yu finally ranked third in the group, he still had the chance to advance to the men's 100m sprint final of the World Championships...!

It is no exaggeration to say that this is the closest the Chinese team has ever been to the men's 100m sprint final of the World Championships!

At this moment, everyone's mood was in chaos. No one said anything to each other. They just couldn't help but look up anxiously in the direction of the large electronic screen on site, as if they were waiting for the final judgment.

On the track, Su Yu, who had been helped to stand up by the Chinese team staff, was not in a very good condition at the moment. The Chinese team staff next to him was obviously worried about Su Yu's appearance. While worrying, he looked up in the direction of the large electronic screen. It can be seen that his feelings of concern for Su Yu and concern for Su Yu's semi-final results were repeatedly and violently pulled in his heart, and the situation was tense.

But finally, the referee team on site did not make the audience and players wait too long. About two minutes later, the electronic screen on site stopped playing the wonderful replays of the game, but cut the picture to show a side view of the final finish line on the track...!

From this side view, the scene that the audience had not been able to see clearly through the final dynamic screen was finally presented to everyone - in the finishing stage of the men's 100-meter sprint semi-final, between Romario in the fifth lane and Su Yu in the ninth lane, the first one to cross the finish line was...

"…It's Su Yu from the Chinese team!!!"

In the live commentary room of the domestic sports channel, after seeing the screenshots of the camera at the finish line of the race, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming felt that their heads exploded like a volcano at that moment.

It is difficult for them to describe their feelings at that moment. Tian Ruhui is almost completely relying on his instinct to complete the commentary at the current stage. If you listen carefully, the audience in front of the TV can hear his voice trembling slightly.

"Dear audience... just now, China's 100-meter sprint event in track and field created new history again!!!"

"Su Yu, a 16-year-old Chinese athlete, finished second in the group in the men's 100m sprint semifinals of the 2019 Qatar Doha World Athletics Championships and qualified directly for the men's 100m finals!!!"

"At the last moment of the semi-finals, it was Su Yu's effective torso that first crossed the finish line!!"

"If I remember correctly, before this game, I just introduced to you that no matter whether it is the World Championships final of the 100-meter sprint or the Olympic final, before today, no Chinese... no yellow person has ever been able to step onto such an arena!"

"Whether it was the men's 100m final of the World Championships or the men's 100m final of the Olympics, before this, they were all called forbidden areas for the yellow race...!"

"And today, and at this moment!"

"Dear audience, the players of the Chinese team have successfully broken the barrier of one of the restricted areas! Our players of the Chinese team have successfully squeezed into this restricted area and truly become a member of this restricted area!!!"

"The athlete who successfully created this miracle for us is the 16-year-old Su Yu from the Chinese team! He is also the youngest athlete in history to successfully enter the men's 100-meter sprint event of the World Track and Field Championships!!!"

The excitement at this moment has completely overwhelmed Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming. If they were not still broadcasting live at this moment, perhaps hugging each other and cheering and screaming like ordinary track and field fans would be the most important thing for them to do!

Just like Guo Debiao and Han Yiqing in the audience at this moment——

“Fuck fuck fuck!!! Fuck fuck fuck!!!”

After seeing the final finish line scene on the large electronic screen, Guo Debiao was so excited that tears came out of his eyes. He and Lao Hu beside him hugged each other excitedly and screamed "Ahhhh" loudly, as if they had forgotten the human language at this moment and didn't know how to express their inner excitement with words.

Han Yiqing also screamed excitedly at this moment. He grabbed the banner that said "Su Yu is undefeated" in his hand, and kept recalling the punching action of Su Yu before the game in his mind.

Su Yu is undefeated...Yes, Su Yu is undefeated! !

Han Yiqing felt that the final result of the game in front of him was Su Yu's most determined response to the banner "Su Yu is undefeated"! ! !

For a moment, this 1.80-meter-tall man was holding the banner in his hand, crying and laughing, and shouted to Sui Feng beside him: "This trip to Doha is worth it!"

Even though Su Yu exhausted his physical energy for this men's 100m semi-final, which affected the subsequent competitions, but at this moment, Han Yiqing still has to say - it was worth it!

Without watching the game live, without feeling the interaction with Su Yu, or even Su Yu's solid response to his belief in "invincibility", it is very difficult to imagine the enthusiasm and satisfaction in their hearts at this moment.

Even if they were asked to evaluate the "most unforgettable game in their life" at this moment, they would definitely forget their favorite 400-meter individual event and leave the only spot for the men's 100-meter semi-final in front of them.

***

In the audience, except for track and field fans like Han Yiqing, the seats in the Chinese athletes' zone all fell into carnival the moment the final result came out!

They had already prepared themselves mentally - even if Su Yu failed to qualify for direct promotion, as he was third in the group, there was still hope that he could wait and try!

But they didn't expect that Su Yu brought them an even bigger surprise in this game!

Second in the group, direct advancement! ! !

At this moment, the Chinese team staff and coaches in the Chinese players' area seats completely exploded with a loud 'boom'!

"Su Yu, Su Yu!!"

Sun Gaoshu was so excited that he almost wanted to jump onto the court and hug Su Yu. He was thankful for the ten thousandth time that Pei Dingshan had successfully discovered Su Yu and brought him from the S Province Sports Team to the national team.

“That’s great, that’s great!!”

Sun Gaoshu was so excited that he hugged Pei Dingshan beside him: "Coach Pei, it's all thanks to you, it's all thanks to you!"

Not only Sun Gaoshu, but also Zheng Sheng, Liu Qinlong and others were all so excited that their eyes were red. It can be said that Su Yu's successful entry into the final of the World Championships this time is as significant as Zheng Tianxi's first time breaking the 10-second mark in the 100 meters.

Whether it's Zheng Tianxi breaking the 10-second mark in the 100 meters, or Su Yu entering the final of the 100-meter sprint at the World Championships, it means that the door that was once closed to the yellow race has been completely opened.

Their performance proved that in sprinting, the yellow race is good, and the Chinese are even better! !

***

After seeing the finish line picture, the contestants who were waiting for the final results at the scene were all in disbelief, yet looked in the direction of Su Yu as if it was reasonable.

After all, while waiting for the final ranking, they had repeatedly watched the wonderful scenes of this game. Through the piecing together of the pictures, these players already knew what a legendary transcendence Su Yu had experienced.

Such a legendary process of transcendence deserves to be matched with a legendary result.

Even Jamaica's Romario Ferguson, after looking at the starting reaction time data on the electronic screen, finally realized where he lost in the most crucial step of the game.

Yes, shortly after the final images of Su Yu and Romario crossing the finish line appeared, the picture flashed on the large electronic screen at the scene, and the final results of the group of players appeared.

First place: Alex Thomas (USA), 9.91 seconds (wind speed 0.2m/s), starting reaction time 0.157 seconds, Q (direct promotion);

Second place: Su Yu (China), 10.02 seconds (.327) (wind speed 0.2m/s), start reaction time 0.122 seconds, WU18B, Q (directly qualified);

3rd place: Romario Ferguson (Jamaica), 10.02 seconds (.330), 0.161 seconds reaction time;

Fourth place: Oliver Stewart (Great Britain), 10.05 seconds, 0.133 seconds reaction time, SB (personal season best);

Fifth place: …

The difference in performance between Romario and Su Yu is a difference of a millimeter that is absolutely difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.

Su Yu's starting reaction time was 0.122 seconds, which was a full 0.039 seconds away from Romario's 0.161 seconds.

As long as Romario could have the reaction speed of Su Yu at the start, he would be able to achieve a time of less than 10 seconds and block Su Yu from the final of the World Championships.

Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world.

He lost.

After taking a deep breath, Romario walked up to Su Yu, nodded to him, then turned and left.

Su Yu didn't even have time to give Romario any feedback when he nodded to him, but after Romario left, Su Yu recalled the data he had calculated and felt that he might not miss seeing Romario again in the finals.

If I want to say hello... maybe I can do that then?

Perhaps because of excessive fatigue, Su Yu's mind was full of strange thoughts and he seemed a little out of control. But with the help of the Chinese team staff, he packed up his personal belongings and headed towards the exit passage with them.

***

At this time, on the domestic Internet, track and field fans and spectators have already entered a new round of carnival. On Weibo, topics related to Su Yu and the World Championships once again rushed to the top of the hot search list late at night -

#The first yellow athlete in the 100m final of the World Championships#

#Suyu preliminary semi-finals set a PB#

#Su Yu advances to the World Championships 100m sprint final#

#SuyuWU18B#

#QIt’s time to change the banner of the School of Mathematics! #

At the same time as Su Yu’s results were officially confirmed, the official Weibo account of the national track and field team quickly issued an enthusiastic official Weibo announcement:

National Track and Field Team V: [#Doha Track and Field World Championships##Su Yu advances to the World Championships 100m sprint final# Warmly congratulate our sprinter @Su Yu V for successfully winning the second place in the first group of the World Championships men's 100m sprint semi-finals with the world U18 best result of 10.02 seconds, and successfully qualified for the men's 100m final! 】

Not only the official Weibo account of the national track and field team, but all sports commentary accounts simultaneously sent out congratulations to Su Yu for advancing to the finals!

The row of trending searches on Weibo are all topics that excite countless track and field fans.

For this World Championships, the initial expectation of track and field fans was that Zheng Tianxi could successfully enter the final of the World Championships and break the barrier of the World Championships final, which is a "forbidden zone for yellow people."

And now, this wish has been realized by Su Yu ahead of time!

[Ahhhh, Su Yu is awesome, I’m tired of talking about it! ! 】

[Family members, who knows? It was the middle of the night and I just rushed downstairs excitedly to run laps! Ahhh, I'm running laps downstairs now while waiting for Team Zheng's semi-final live broadcast! ! 】

[I’m dying of laughter. The moment I saw the screenshot of Yudi crossing the finish line just now, I was so excited that I howled in the middle of the night. Ugh, I accidentally disturbed others. Now I’m trying hard to turn off the microphone. Ahhh, I dare not howl in the room. I can only howl with everyone on the public screen! ! ! 】

[Although, I feel sorry for the U18 players all over the world. Well, our Yu Di has once again improved his personal small step (results) and the world's U18 players a big step (threshold) 23333]

[Hilarious, friend in front!] A shared brain! I was just laughing at this. All the U18 men's 100m sprinters around the world must be going crazy. The WU18B line has reached 10.02 seconds. It's so funny. They are getting closer and closer to the 10-second mark for the 100m! ! 】

[Come to think of it, Yu Di is only 16 years old this year... and he will be 17 next year. In other words, with WU18B's data, he still has one year of room for growth? 】

[Pfft, is it okay to have another year of room for growth? However, I feel that Yu Di's current performance is indeed at the limit. After the semi-final just now, Su Yu was about to lie down. This is only the 100-meter semi-final on the second day of the World Championships. I feel that even if he makes it to the final, Su Yu will not be able to make it to the front row. 】

【? 】

[No way, my friend, with Yu Di's performance, it's already a miracle that he can enter the World Championships finals. At the finals, do you still want Yu Di to make it to the front row? 】

【yes! ! In fact, in today's semi-final, we can see the difference by looking at the players' reaction time data at the start. For example, Alex from the American team, Romario from Jamaica, and Jerome from Canada, except for the Nigerian player who obviously made a mistake, the rest of the players who should have occupied the front row, did not pursue particularly extreme reaction times at the start. They probably still wanted to save some of their condition for the final. It's just that some players succeeded and some failed. 】

[Yes, just like the Jamaican Romario, if he had reached the finals, his performance would not have been just 10.02 seconds. 】

[Emm, as for Yu Di, he consumed too much energy in the semi-finals, and there was only a three and a half hour time difference between the semi-finals and the finals. It feels really difficult for him to adjust. Anyway, I think that as long as Yu Di can stand in the final of the World Championships, it will be a historic breakthrough! 】

Whether they are track and field fans or just spectators, they are all very optimistic about the upcoming finals. Su Yu really tried his best in the semi-finals, and the spectators are already very satisfied.

They did not expect Su Yu to burst out with all his strength again in the finals. After all, they all knew clearly that for Su Yu, the men's 100-meter sprint final was not his end in the World Championships. In Su Yu's next schedule, there would be individual events in the men's 200-meter sprint and the men's 400-meter sprint to participate in.

If Su Yu really exhausted all his energy in today's race, what should he do in tomorrow's 200-meter sprint?

What's more, many people still remember that in the subsequent schedule, Su Yu still has to participate in the men's 400m qualifying competition.

Therefore, although these track and field fans all hope to see Su Yu run better results, as one of the track and field fans said -

[You can’t fish out a drained pond!] ! ! 】

On Weibo's hot search list, in addition to these topics that excite track and field fans, the #Q大数学学院 hanging at the last tail should change its banner! #It even made the majority of the onlookers laugh so hard that they burst out laughing during their midnight snack.

【#QIt’s time for the School of Mathematics to change its banner! #laughing to death, @Q大official Weibo, Q大Q大, did you hear that? The general public is calling on your School of Mathematics to change its banner! ! 】

Some people who didn't know what "changing the banner" meant originally understood it immediately after they entered this topic and saw the banners taken by countless Q University students, which read "Warmly congratulate our class of 2019 Su Yu for successfully advancing to the men's 100m sprint semi-finals of the 2019 World Athletics Championships in Doha, Qatar."

[@Q School of Mathematics, it's time to test your speed and execution. It's 23:55 local time now, and there are still 3 hours and 20 minutes before the start of the men's 100m sprint final of the World Championships. =w= It depends on whether you can successfully change the banner within the time limit! 】

[Hahahaha, what a wicked netizen, so hurtful, but I like it, @Q Institute of Big Data, hurry up, hurry up, although it is late at night in China now, but I like this kind of topic =w=! 】

These unscrupulous netizens were clamoring for joy, and they were just about to shout into the ears of the leaders of the School of Mathematics at Q University. Some people have even started discussing whether the 100-meter sprint record at Q University's school sports meet in the future will also be a score of less than 10 meters.

Although the unscrupulous netizens were making a lot of noise, they had never thought that the official account of Q would give them any response.

Unexpectedly, the official account of Q University posted a Weibo in the next second:

Q official Weibo: [#苏渚 advances to the World Championships 100m sprint final# Warmly congratulate our 2019 classmate @苏渚V for successfully advancing to the men's 100m sprint final at the World Athletics Championships in Doha, Qatar, and winning glory for the country! (Photo: Construction drawing of replacing the banner of the Department of Mathematics Building)]

Netizens who were watching the show: ...?

So weird, what is this? Take another look? ? ?

Good job!

What's going on with you guys at Q University? The editor is still online late at night. Is there anyone in the school who can come to change the banner for you at this time?

The point is, don’t banners have to be made in advance? You guys finished the banner for Su Yu so quickly? Is the time between these 10 minutes enough? ? ?

It's impossible that you guys at Q are so awesome that you even have some black technology for making banners, right? ? ?

When a spectator asked this question in shock, Qda's official V editor actually posted a picture in the comment section - not only was there a banner celebrating Su Yu's advancement to the semi-finals and finals in the 100m, but even the 200m and 400m were prepared in advance. Of course, probably to maintain the 'mystery', the 200m and 400m numbers were coded by the editor, but the coding was so clear that anyone who was not a fool would be able to understand it.

The crowd: "..."

Thank you. I am really impressed by your Q-sized operations. Isn't this really a precautionary measure? Could this be the prediction of netizens?

So, for a while, even the topic #Q大 prepared all the celebratory banners for Su Yu# was inexplicably pushed to the top of the hot search list by the onlookers.

Of course, there were also some sharp-eyed people who noticed that when the official Weibo of Q University mentioned Su Yu, it did not mention the Department of Mathematics, but directly mentioned Q University - it was so funny, isn't this a secret detail?

***

On the Internet, because of Su Yu's successful advancement, the onlookers were overjoyed and the lively atmosphere could not be stopped.

But in fact, at the competition site in Doha, Qatar, the men's 100-meter sprint semi-finals has not yet ended.

After Su Yu and his group of players left the field, the second group of semi-final players had already arrived on the field. A new round of battle was about to begin. Su Yu, who had already left the field, met the excited Liu Yu and Lin Weixiong on his way out.

Although Su Yu was very tired at the moment, he also knew that his successful advancement to the finals was something that Liu Yu and the others must interview, so when Liu Yu and the others tentatively asked if they could interview him, he still stopped.

The Chinese team staff member who was accompanying Su Yu back to the backcourt lounge carrying Su Yu's things stood aside when he saw that Su Yu was going to be interviewed, but still turned to Liu Yu and reminded them: "Liu Ji, Lin Ji, Su Yu's 100m final is in more than three hours. Including the warm-up time, Su Yu's rest time is very limited. Please pay attention to the length of the interview!"

Liu Yu and Lin Weixiong nodded immediately.

Of course they knew about this, so without further ado, they quickly entered the interview session.

"Xiao Yu, first of all, congratulations on becoming the first Chinese to advance to the men's 100-meter sprint finals of the World Track and Field Championships, and also the first yellow athlete to advance!"

Su Yu pursed his lips habitually, then silently said "hmm": "Thank you."

"Xiao Yu, we all know that it is very difficult to advance to the finals of the World Championships, especially in the final just now. Before the game, your personal best record was even the last among all the contestants, but in the end you successfully completed this challenge. Can you tell me what ability of yours helped you?"

After hearing Liu Yu's question, Su Yu frowned and thought for a while, then said, "It should be the stability of my results. In fact, this season, my personal ability has stabilized to the point where I can break 10.10. Although to some people, overly stable results may seem like a bottleneck, I think stable results are actually the basis for me to break through my current results."

When Liu Yu heard Su Yu's answer, his eyes lit up slightly. He felt that Su Yu's answer really broke the thinking patterns of many people. After all, many domestic players and coaches always think that if a player maintains a certain result for a long time, it means that the player has encountered a bottleneck. Therefore, they will start to look for a breakthrough point of the bottleneck through various means, but the result is often that the more they look, the more they deviate. They didn't expect that there is an old saying in China that goes "slow and steady wins the race".

After getting Su Yu's answer, Liu Yu originally thought that it was enough, but he suddenly thought of another point, so he asked: "Xiao Yu, in fact, we all know that before the semi-finals, your results were unlikely to have any hope of advancing to the finals, and you actually still have two individual events, the 200m and 400m, to compete. For you, the competition pressure on you is originally very high, so in fact, you don't need to go all out to qualify for the World Championships finals at this time - can you tell me what prompted you to make the decision to sprint to the finals?"

Liu Yu originally wanted to direct this question to the Chinese track and field fans at the scene. After all, the red color at the scene and Su Yu's earlier fist-pumping action in response were both very good news points. So if Su Yu said something like "I was inspired by the audience", the effect would be maximized on the spot.

But Liu Yu also knew that Su Yu had never been a particularly controlled interviewee, so when he heard Su Yu's question, he was stunned for a moment, and then fell silent because of Su Yu's answer.

Su Yu asked: "Why should I give up if I feel that there is little hope of advancing?"

Su Yu looked at Liu Yu who was standing there in shock, frowned and asked, "Should I wait until I have a chance to advance to the finals, and then challenge for the qualification for the World Championships finals?"

"So what kind of result would be considered a 'promising' result for qualifying for the World Championships final? A personal best under 10 seconds? Or under 9.90? 9.80?"

Facing Su Yu's question, Liu Yu hesitated and stood there, smiling bitterly, not knowing how to answer. He found that he had indeed asked a stupid question - just like in the preliminaries of this World Championships, Feng Chuming, who had broken 10 seconds in the 100m, did not advance to the semi-finals. The one who successfully advanced was Su Yu, who ran the 100m in 10.05 seconds.

Su Yu's answer was not over yet. He looked at Liu Yu and Lin Weixiong seriously and said, "I don't think you have to be absolutely sure of everything before you work hard. Just like in a competition, it's not because 'I know I have a chance to advance to the finals, so I work hard', but 'I work hard and open a way for myself to the finals'."

There are so many unknown changes in this world. Since you want to succeed, why don’t you work hard for it now, but wait until you see hope of success before working hard?

Facing Su Yu's question, Liu Yu opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't know what to say and gave a bitter smile. Just when he was about to say "Xiao Yu, you are right", he saw something happen in front of him that seemed to confirm the correctness of Su Yu's answer...

In the third group of men's semi-finals, something similar happened again as in the first group of semi-finals...!

In this group of competitions, at the final finishing moment, three players from South Africa, the United States and the United Kingdom were the first to cross the finish line, while Zheng Tianxi and another player from the Italian team crossed the line almost at the same time...!

But this time, when the large electronic screen on site lit up and looked back at the finish line footage from the finish line camera, the god of luck was not on the Chinese team's side this time.

Zheng Tianxi, with a time of 10.04 (.167), lost to his opponent's time of 10.04 (.161), and finally ranked fourth among the remaining players and missed the final.
