Chapter 161

As for how much Sun Yuhang deserves a beating, major domestic media have already experienced this. Generally speaking, the advice from various domestic media is - if you don't want the mouth, you can donate it. If Sun Yuhang just keeps his face, the interview is still worth watching.

Even though Zhang Xujian and Sun Yuhang have been teammates for many years, after Sun Yuhang's output just now, he couldn't help but rub his forehead.

Zhang Xujian: "You guys, you want to help your junior brother relieve his emotions before the game, but this is not the way to do it, right?"

Sun Yuhang still looks nonchalant and ruffian as always, with a tuft of silver hair on his head. Every time he returns to the national team, he is glared at by some of the leaders in the national team who have more old-fashioned ideas and styles.

Hearing Zhang Xujian's words, he shrugged indifferently: "Who helped him to ease his pre-match emotions? I was just saying hello to my junior brother in a friendly way."

Seeing that Sun Yuhang was still so stubborn, Zhang Xujian did not expose him, but just said calmly: "Oh, it's good that you don't want to ease Jiang Yuan's pre-match emotions, otherwise you might get the opposite result."

Sun Yuhang: “……?”

Sun Yuhang was silent for two seconds, then turned to look at Zhang Xujian: "What do you mean?"

Zhang Xujian looked at Sun Yuhang and said calmly, "Don't you know? Aren't you his direct senior brother? When Jiang Yuan and I went to participate in the Asian Championships at the beginning of the season, he remained very silent before the game, but he was in excellent condition in that Asian Championships. He also successfully jumped 2.30 meters in that Asian Championships and qualified for the World Championships."

A question mark slowly emerged in Sun Yuhang’s head:?

Damn!

It's over. Doesn't this mean that the autistic look on the smiling little fox's face at the beginning meant that he was in good shape before the game? ? ?

So, after he went forward and vented his anger on the old man's last disciple, he might end up in a worse state than before? !

If the old man knew about this, he would chase him away ten miles away. ?

Sun Yuhang's expression rarely changed, looking like a color palette, and upon closer inspection, he seemed a little conflicted.

Zhang Xujian found an empty table, put down his tray and sat down. Sun Yuhang then put his tray down on the empty table and scratched his head in annoyance.

"Hey, Lao Zhang, don't tell this to the old man when you get back!"

Zhang Xujian looked at him calmly, "Hmm? What's the matter? Are you talking about the fact that you made a wrong judgment and thought your junior brother was in a bad state before the World Championships, so you personally came out to provoke him and broke his original pre-match state of energy, or that you didn't know your junior brother at all, so you made a wrong judgment?"

Sun Yuhang: “…”

Shit, he knew it.

The whole world thought that Sun Yuhang was a bad-mouthed member of the national team, and that his father Zhang Xujian was a good man. But no one knew that his heart was black, and if all the black water in his stomach were poured out, it could pollute the entire North Sea.

Because of being criticized by Zhang Xujian, Sun Yuhang looked a little wilted, even the small tuft of silver hair on his head became a little listless. The fork in his hand poked the breakfast bag on the plate in front of him, poking the bag to make it leak air.

Zhang Xujian ate his breakfast while looking at Sun Yuhang's appearance, and said calmly: "Okay, eat your breakfast well - I think the effect of your stimulation just now was quite good, and it may not be worse than his own accumulation of energy."

Sun Yuhang bared his teeth in dissatisfaction after hearing this. After a while, he picked up the breakfast bun with a fork and started to eat it. He snorted as he ate it, "Oh, who cares what the boy's condition is like? It would be best if he can't even pass the qualifying round!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Xujian sighed silently and pointed in the direction behind Sun Yuhang. Behind him happened to be Jiang Yuan, Zhou Yuang and Su Yu who had already finished breakfast.

Sun Yuhang: “…”

Jiang Yuan: “^_^”

When Sun Yuhang saw Jiang Yuan's vicious smile, he felt a pain in his liver. He felt that he was really idle and should not have opened his mouth.

This is the moment when Sun Yuhang most agrees with the media's comments about him - he shouldn't have that mouth.

Jiang Yuan looked at him with a smile: "Thank you for your blessing, brother. I received it."

Sun Yuhang: “…who the hell gave you…” blessings.

Sun Yuhang remembered what he had just said, "It would be best if I can't even pass the qualifying round," and suddenly felt like he was about to suffocate.

This time it was Jiang Yuan's turn to ignore him. He said goodbye to Zhang Xujian and Sun Yuhang with a smile: "Brother Zhang, Senior Brother Sun, we are leaving first. Goodbye."

It was not until Jiang Yuan and the others left the restaurant that Sun Yuhang started to curse: "This smiling little fox...!"

***

On the other side, Jiang Yuan, Zhou Yuang and Su Yu who had already left of course did not explain. In fact, they were already nearby when Zhang Xujian said that Sun Yuhang stimulated Jiang Yuan in order to improve his competitive state.

Or maybe Zhang Xujian actually said that to them on purpose.

However, neither Zhang Xujian nor Jiang Yuan obviously had any intention of letting Sun Yuhang know about this.

Zhou Yuang thought about it and couldn't help but said, "Hey, I didn't expect that Sun Yuhang is such a nice guy despite his bad mouth?"

Jiang Yuan nodded with a smile but did not answer.

In fact, when Sun Yuhang came over and tried to provoke him, he had already seen what Sun Yuhang meant. However, whether Sun Yuhang was a good person or not did not prevent the bad relationship between the two brothers.

After all, there are so many good people in this world, and no one stipulates that he has to be a pair of good brothers who love and care for each other with good people.

Su Yu followed the whole process and didn't say much, but he saw that Jiang Yuan seemed to be in a pretty good state at the moment. He also thought about the way Sun Yuhang's defense was broken just now, and felt that his brother Yuan should be in a good mood now.

***

After breakfast, after resting for more than an hour, Su Yu and his friends went to the gym of the official hotel for some simple training to adjust their condition.

When the time turned to 3 pm, after half a day of rest and adjustment, Su Yu and others once again took the Chinese team's bus to the Khalifa Stadium.

Tonight, there will be competitions in men's shot put, 400 meters, high jump, 3000 meters, pole vault, 800 meters final, 200 meters final, as well as women's 400 meters hurdles, 400 meters semi-finals, 200 meters semi-finals and javelin finals.

However, for the Chinese team, there are only four events to pay attention to tonight: men's pole vault, 400m preliminaries, 200m finals and women's javelin finals.

Among them, although the men's 400 meters is only a group match, due to Su Yu's own popularity and official publicity, and the fact that this is the first time that a Chinese athlete has officially entered the 400-meter event at the World Championships, the public's attention is actually the highest among all events.

At the same time, the men's 200m final also had official publicity. This was the first time that a yellow racer appeared in the 200m World Championships final, and the audience was very enthusiastic.

In fact, among these four individual events, the women's javelin final is where China has the best chance of winning a medal or even a gold medal - so the women's javelin final is also extremely popular among track and field enthusiasts and sports fans.

In short, when the live broadcast of the Doha Athletics World Championships started on the sports channel at 9:30 pm local time that day, a large number of viewers had already picked up their remote controls and clicked on the live broadcast of the Doha Athletics World Championships.

In the live commentary room of the sports channel, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming naturally greeted all the viewers on time -

"Good evening, dear viewers, I am Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming, the commentators for tonight's live broadcast. Welcome to follow the biennial World Athletics Championships with us. You will see the world's top track and field athletes fighting for victory and their wonderful performances at the World Championships!"

After a brief greeting, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming first introduced the competition that was about to begin:

"It is now 9:30 am local time in Doha, 4:30 pm local time in Doha. The men's shot put group A qualifying round is about to begin. At the same time, in 5 minutes, at 9:35 am local time, the first event that the audience is most concerned about - the men's 400-meter sprint group match will also begin. The 16-year-old talented sprinter Su Yu will appear in this men's 400-meter sprint group match!"

Zhou Jiming also smiled and said, "Yes, in the men's 400m sprint group match later, Su Yu will appear in the sixth group of the preliminary round - the same as the men's 100m sprint on the first day of the competition, there will be a total of 48 contestants in the men's 400m preliminaries, and the preliminaries will be divided into 6 groups. At that time, the top three contestants in each preliminaries group will directly qualify for the men's 400m sprint semi-finals, and among the remaining contestants, the top 6 contestants will also be qualified to advance as substitutes."

After all, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming are both veteran commentators. They know that there will be a large number of ordinary spectators watching the game tonight who have probably never paid attention to track and field events, so the two of them started by disseminating a series of basic knowledge points to the audience, including the lack of strength of the Chinese team in the men's 400-meter sprint.

"Many audience friends may not understand why it is just a group stage, but all track and field enthusiasts attach great importance to Su Yu's competition tonight."

Tian Ruhui smiled and said: "Regarding this, we have to talk about the start of formal sprinting education in our country. In fact, formal sprinting education in our country started relatively late. For example, compared with our neighboring country Japan, the sprinting atmosphere in our country is not that strong."

"Of course, in the past two or three decades, China's sprinting strength has been constantly improving. For example, up to now, the Asian men's 100-meter sprint and men's 200-meter sprint records have been created by Chinese athletes."

"But the men's 400m sprint is the longest event among the three events of 100m, 200m and 400m. It has the most complex requirements on the athletes' quality and overall technical skills."

"As we all know, whether in daily study or in the promotion of sports, we should follow the fundamental requirement of gradual progress. Before this, China has focused on vigorously developing the training of the 100-meter and 200-meter events. So as of this season, the overall strength of the 400-meter event in China is still relatively backward..."

Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming will patiently explain the development history of the 400m in China, while also introducing the current situation of the men's shot put qualifying competition and the first group of the men's 400m preliminaries that have already started.

The two of them are worthy of being the gold medal commentators for track and field events. Even when they were telling stories while commenting on the events, they sounded very comfortable with it, and attracted the attention of many viewers in front of the TV who had never known about these things before.

"...I didn't expect that. I always thought that our national team was so strong in the 100m and 200m events, so the other events wouldn't be too bad, right?"

"Yeah, I thought so too... But according to what the two commentators said, in the past, our domestic men's 400m event was not even at the top level in Asia?"

"Is that so? Although the two commentators didn't say it directly, you can tell from the data that the current Asian men's 400-meter sprint record is 43.93 seconds. Our country's national record two years ago was only 45.50 seconds. This result has been maintained for more than 30 years... Think about it! This result might have been quite impressive more than 30 years ago, but more than 30 years have passed, and the 400-meter results of other Asian countries have been improving, but our country has not had a runner who can run under 46 seconds for many years..."

"Yes, for example, in a 100-meter race, the difference between the athletes' results is only a few tenths of a second. Even if the 400-meter race is four times the 100-meter race, the difference between athletes with similar abilities is only half a second or a second at best. As a result, our country's athletes scored 46.47 seconds, while other athletes scored 44.45 seconds..."

"No wonder they said Su Yu broke the men's 400m national record. I saw a lot of news reports about it. So this is the reason!"

"Yes, at such a young age, he has raised China's 400-meter sprint record from 45.50 to 45.32, and even made it to the World Championships on his own! No wonder CCTV and the official WeChat account are promoting him!"

"If we can successfully advance to the semi-finals, it will be considered one of the best National Day gifts, right?"

During the National Day holiday, many families are having dinner with their elderly and elders. After the dinner, they chat and laugh, and it’s time to watch the game. Therefore, the audience in front of the TV often listens to the introduction of Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming while chatting with their family in front of the TV.

This is the situation in You Xiaomeng's family.

As a senior fan of Su Yu, You Xiaomeng would of course stay up late to follow her son's competitions. This time, the 400-meter sprint preliminaries were finally scheduled at 9:30 in the evening, so she didn't have to stay up too late. However, it happened to coincide with the National Day holiday.

Whenever there is a long holiday, her family will have a gathering together. She originally thought that she could only secretly watch the live broadcast on her mobile phone during the gathering, but she didn't expect that her grandparents at home would take the initiative to mention that there was a game to watch tonight.

After seeing this, she sat on a low stool in front of the TV with shining eyes, and began to enthusiastically explain the amazing history of Su Yu to her parents and elders at home.

There was the world's best U18 100m sprinter, and almost all the Asian U20 records that were swept by Su Yu. However, what the elders loved to hear most was the story of Su Yu being fought over by Q University and B University - after all, which elder didn't dream of their children getting admitted to Q University or B University when they were young?

After You Xiaomeng finished her enthusiastic introduction, her father even praised her.

"Okay, I think it's a good idea for you to chase this star. It's much better than those other random stars you chased before."

You Xiaomeng snorted twice when she heard what her father said: "Dad, we don't do that."

Although her Xiaoyuzizi is indeed the best, what did the other idols do wrong? As long as they are dedicated and don't expose their true colors, You Xiaomeng doesn't think there is anything wrong with liking those idols.

Even as we were talking, the men's 400-meter sprint preliminaries had already reached the fifth group.

You Xiaomeng's father was just listening to his daughter and memorizing the data. As he was memorizing, he sighed: "No wonder Su Yu is so important. From the first to the fourth group of the preliminaries, I counted that the top three players in each group had scores within 45.50 seconds. If this happened in our country, they would all have exceeded our 400-meter national record at the time."

You Xiaomeng nodded. That’s what I meant.

After thinking for a while, she added, "Let alone the past two years. Even if it were now, without Su Yu, no other runner would be able to achieve this result."

In fact, since the Asian Championships at the beginning of the season, in the domestic 400m event, athletes like Lin Zekai, Zhang Mingliang and Li Mingzhou have all made a comeback. Especially after the interview with Su Yu and Lin Zekai was reported, the overall atmosphere in the domestic 400m event has been cleared up.

However, the problems accumulated over the years cannot be easily changed overnight.

Zhang Mingliang and Li Mingzhou were probably used to that kind of game rhythm in the past. Even though they were consciously adjusting now, the effect of the adjustment was limited.

It can be said that it will take a long time for them to change this situation.

Even Lin Zekai, who had been in good shape since the Asian Championships, his 400m result has not yet reached the 46-second mark. On the contrary, Zhang Mingliang's talent seems to be quite good. In a later competition, he broke out and ran a result of 45.93 seconds, finally breaking into the 46-second mark.

But Zhang Mingliang's condition was too unstable. After he ran 45.93 seconds, in the next game, his result dropped again to 47.21 seconds. The fluctuation of his condition was jaw-dropping.

So far, the domestic men's 400-meter sprint can only rely on Su Yu. It can be said that in the domestic men's 400-meter sprint, only Su Yu is on the verge of being among the best in Asia. The reason for this is that based on this season, there are 4 players in Asia who have broken the 45-second mark, and another 4 players have scores within 45.30 seconds.

Su Yu's latest PB of 45.32 seconds can only barely rank in the top ten among the best results of this Asian season.

That’s why it is said that Su Yu’s current performance is actually just on the edge of Asia’s top performance.

***

There were quite a few people like You Xiaomeng's family watching the game in front of TV sets across the country, but there were still many viewers who liked to watch the game and read the barrage with the majority of netizens. They opened the Jigu video and were squatting in the live broadcast room, watching the game and the discussion on the public screen.

[It's worthy of being the World Championships. Among the first five groups of the competition, the fifth group in the group stage just now should be regarded as the weakest group, right? The third runner who qualified also scored 45.65 seconds. 】

[Ahhh, Su Yu's draw was not very good. If he could be in the fifth group, with Su Yu's strength and condition, he should be able to advance for sure, right? 】

[It's okay. Didn't Su Yu run 45.32 seconds in the qualifying round yesterday? With his current strength, even if he is not in the fifth group, it won’t be a big problem...】

[…From what you said, you probably didn’t pay attention to the list of the sixth group of preliminaries? 】

【? 】

[(Youyou) The sixth group in the preliminaries is the death group of the men’s 400m sprint in this World Championships. 】

……? !

The netizens in the Jigu video live broadcast room really didn't pay attention to this before, until a track and field fan reminded them. They went back to take a look at the initial ranking of the athletes in the sixth group of the preliminaries, and then they were shocked.

In the sixth group of the preliminaries, there was only one athlete from Bangladesh, who, like Su Yu, qualified for the group stage with a score of 46.35 in yesterday's qualifying round.

As for the remaining six opponents, the one with the worst personal best in history was 45.23 seconds. There were two players in the group who broke the 44-second mark, and their PBs were 43.93 seconds and 43.87 seconds respectively.

The scores of the other three opponents were 45.07 seconds, 44.68 seconds, and 44.83 seconds respectively.

In just the preliminary stage, Su Yu's PB was already ranked last.

This situation made everyone's scalp tingle, and someone immediately asked a question on the public screen: [Friends! Has anyone counted the results of the top six remaining contestants? What were the scores of the last two remaining contestants? ? 】

_(:зゝ∠)_

This soul-searching question can be said to be very shocking and very straightforward.

However, there were many people who were equally straightforward in the comments, and someone immediately replied: [I’ve remembered, don’t panic...! Up to now, the fifth and sixth ranked players among the remaining players have achieved scores of 45.61 and 45.67 respectively. If he wants to compete for promotion, Yu Di will not have any problem...! 】

After seeing this news, the spectators in the live broadcast room breathed a sigh of relief.

[That's great. Based on Yu Di's stable condition, it shouldn't be a problem for him to run within 45.50 seconds, right? 】

…

***

At this time, at the contestant entrance at the Khalifa Stadium, Su Yu was staying in the preparation channel with the contestants in his group.

He didn't know that the spectators were so confident in his stable condition. Anyway, it was only after this World Championships that he had some new understanding of the fluctuations of his condition.

Of course, his condition today was indeed very good. Since waking up early in the morning, he was eager for tonight's game.

Although after a whole day of rest and adjustment, his condition was not as "high" as when he just got up in the morning, but as he arrived at the Khalifa Stadium in the evening and listened to the cheers and encouragements from the audience, his condition began to gradually improve.

Especially as his debut time approaches, his current state has almost returned to the excitement he had when he just woke up in the morning.

He couldn't wait to get on the next 400-meter race!

The on-site competition process progressed quickly, and his anticipation did not have to wait too long. After the results of the fifth group of preliminaries came out, the on-site staff began to guide them to the stage - their arena was about to come!

When he followed the on-site staff onto the field, a full-bodied and uniform roar came from the noisy cheers of the audience:

"Su Yu!! Come on Su Yu!!!"

This burst of cheering penetrated the sky above the stadium, spanning a distance of more than a hundred meters, and actually reached Su Yu's ears.

After hearing the cheers, Su Yu widened his eyes slightly and looked in the direction where the cheers came from - that was the group of track and field fans from China. Their spectator lineup today seemed to have expanded a little on the first day of the competition. Everyone was holding a small national flag representing the Chinese team. Because they were in the front row, the Chinese flag was also hung on the guardrail in the front row, and next to it was a banner that still read "Su Yu is undefeated."

After seeing those track and field fans, Su Yu was stunned for a moment, then he rarely smiled and waved to the track and field fans in that direction.

After receiving the response, Han Yiqing and Guo Debiao were so excited that they shouted loudly on the spot. After waving their hands, they shut up. They didn't intend to continue shouting and affect Su Yu's preparations.

There were dozens of people here, all waving small flags in their hands, looking nervously at Su Yu as he waved to them and turned to go to the track.

"Ahhh, Old Han, do you think our Yudi will be alright tonight?!"

Although Guo Debiao looks big and strong, his psychological quality for watching the game is really not good. After knowing Su Yu's group list tonight, Guo Debiao was a little panicked.

Of course, what made him even more panicked was that Su Yu was on the outermost path tonight.

…

Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming from the sports channel were also explaining Su Yu's disadvantages in this game: "...The ninth lane has the longest forward distance, and it is impossible to observe the opponent's performance, so it will be a great test for the player's ability to control his own rhythm and the player's mental state."

In the 400-meter race, many athletes simply cannot control their own rhythm in the outermost lane. Especially as opponents from behind approach, it is easy for them to run faster and faster due to the huge psychological pressure. As a result, when it comes to the last 100 meters, their physical rhythm completely collapses and they are directly overtaken by everyone in the last 100-meter stage.

This kind of situation is seen too often, especially by domestic audiences - after all, many athletes on the Chinese team are like this. They have no confidence in their own rhythm and have no way to control their rhythm to the end, so that the last two hundred meters of the race are usually a mess.

The commentary by Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming made the audience in front of the TV nervous.

There's no way around it. These viewers haven't watched many games, so they'll easily be carried away by the commentator's introduction and the atmosphere created on TV.

Many people’s thoughts at this moment are – Ahhhhh, what should I do? !

But at this moment, a camera happened to cut to Su Yu, and a close-up shot swept across Su Yu, and Su Yu happened to look up and saw the camera not far away, so that many people saw the young man standing on the ninth lane of the field and getting ready - although there was not much expression on his face, it could be seen through his eyes that he was obviously full of expectations and eager to try for the upcoming game.

“Eh?…”

Many people were stunned after seeing this scene, and asked, "Why does Su Yu look like he doesn't mind being on the ninth level at all?"

Even Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming in the sports channel's live commentary room were stunned by Su Yu's condition. The next second, Tian Ruhui said with a slightly relaxed smile: "It seems that Su Yu is in good condition tonight?"

Isn’t that pretty good?

Su Yu looked so eager to try that he seemed to wish the game could start right away!

Of course, the situation on the scene did not make Su Yu wait too long. After all the contestants on the 8 tracks had finished their preparations, the official starter on the scene gave the first command of "on your positions".

The official starter on site wore headphones and microphones, and the contestants on the eight tracks all had a small speaker behind their starting blocks so that the starter's commands and the sound of the starting gun could be transmitted to each contestant's ears synchronously and without distinction.

After all, in a 400-meter race, there are 8 tracks, and the starting distance between each runner can be more than 7 meters. For the 8 tracks, the distance difference between the runners in the second and ninth lanes can reach more than 50 meters at the start. If some technological means are not used to assist, it would be unfair for the runners on different tracks to hear the gun.

At this time, after hearing the command "Get ready", Su Yu quickly walked around to his starting block, supported himself with his hands, and squatted on his starting block.

And in the eighth lane behind Su Yu on the left is an athlete from Colombia. The Colombian athlete's 400m PB is 44.83 seconds, and he has already broken the 45-second mark.

For this Colombian athlete, of course he knew Su Yu - after all, since the start of the World Championships, Su Yu, who has won three events, 100 meters, 200 meters and 400 meters, has become very famous among sprinters.

Especially in the 100m and 200m events, many people think that Su Yu will be a very formidable opponent in the future.

However, when it comes to the 400 meters, in the eyes of 400-meter athletes, Su Yu is indeed a player with good strength, but that is all for now - after all, the PB of 45.32 seconds is not a very good result in the eyes of most athletes who can participate in the World Championships.

With this result, if Su Yu performs stably, he may be able to advance to the semi-finals, but that's all.

After all, Su Yu’s result is still some distance away from breaking the 45-second mark, let alone approaching it.

And at the World Championships, how can you advance to the men's 400m sprint final without breaking the 45-second mark?

This is just a fantasy.

Of course, it's only the group stage now, and thinking about the semi-finals is a bit too far away. Anyway, in the eyes of this Colombian player, he really doesn't take Su Yu too seriously.

What's more, this young player from the Chinese team is currently in the ninth lane, the outermost lane - even for this Colombian player, he would not feel very happy if he was placed in the outermost lane.

Therefore, he didn't even take Su Yu's performance seriously - or rather, he would actually pay attention to Su Yu, but the direction of his attention would be different.

Just like now, he was reminding himself not to be led by the pace of the Chinese player in the ninth lane after the competition started later.

After all, he was already in the eighth lane, and the only player's rhythm he could refer to was Su Yu in the ninth lane. However, he did not believe that Su Yu, at such a young age, could maintain his overall rhythm in the ninth lane in the World Championships.

So he was very wary of Su Yu's condition.

Su Yu, who was in the ninth lane in front, had no idea what his opponent behind him on the left was thinking. He was so eager to try that he couldn't help but want to start while squatting on the starting blocks.

Soon, after the official starter on the scene confirmed that all the contestants were ready, he decisively gave the second command - Ready!

Immediately, the contestants on the 8 tracks all put their hands on the ground and raised their hips. Su Yu on the ninth track leaned his body forward slightly and then controlled himself to be stable. Then, the next second, the starting gun sounded with a bang...!

"The game begins!!"

In the live commentary room of the domestic sports channel, Tian Ruhui's voice was the first to be heard, and Zhou Jiming quickly added Su Yu's starting status.

“0.129 seconds, an excellent reaction speed!”

From the moment he saw Su Yu's reaction speed, Zhou Jiming at least had a sense of certainty in his heart about Su Yu's current condition - Su Yu was indeed not afraid of this 400-meter race!

"Very good. In the first 100-meter stage, Su Yu started the corner very quickly. His cornering performance was as good as always."

Because it was a 400-meter race, the commentator had more time to explain. After Tian Ruhui quickly introduced the situation of the two seeded players in the group in the third and sixth lanes on the field, he also quickly mentioned Su Yu's performance in the ninth lane.

However, when talking about Su Yu's performance, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming actually frowned subconsciously, because in their memories, the speed of Su Yu's first 100-meter stage in a 400-meter race was generally not as fast as the starting speed of this game.

Tian Ruhui even directly introduced: "Su Yu started very quickly in the cornering stage of this race. I hope he can control his rhythm."

He was a little worried that Su Yu might have forgotten the rhythm of the 400-meter race because he was in the outermost lane and had been running the 100-meter and 200-meter events in the past two days.

But so far, Su Yu's performance in this game is still very good. Although it is difficult for Tian Ruhui and others to judge Su Yu's ranking position at this stage, it seems that he should remain in the middle.

For these 400-meter sprinters, they are good at different stages of the race. For example, the Colombian runner in lane 8 is best at sprinting in the last 100 meters. His excellent speed and endurance often allow him to overtake his opponents in the last 100 meters.

In the first 100-meter stage, he also noticed that Su Yu's pace seemed a little fast, so he trusted his own judgment more and controlled his speed in the first 100-meter stage to prevent himself from being carried away by Su Yu in the ninth lane.

But when he reached the second 100-meter stage, his idea began to waver a little - what happened? This guy from the Chinese team, is he really crazy? This is only the second 100-meter stage. Although the straight section of this stage is indeed the fastest segment for all the athletes in the 400-meter race, it is not as fast as this, right?

Not only the Colombian athlete in the eighth lane, but even the official commentator on the scene was shocked by Su Yu's speed at this moment - it's not that Su Yu's speed was the fastest in the arena at this stage, but his speed performance in this 100-meter section was no less than that of the two world-class athletes in the third and sixth lanes who had already broken the 44-second mark in 400 meters.

At this moment, even Liu Qinlong and Zheng Sheng, who were sitting in the Chinese contestant zone, breathed hard - what was going on? Su Yu's rhythm...

Liu Qinlong quickly remembered Su Yu’s excited state this morning, and his face turned pale immediately - No way? Could it be that Su Yu was too excited today and lost control of his own rhythm in the game? !

As soon as this thought popped up in Liu Qinlong's mind, the competition on the field quickly transitioned from the second 100-meter stage to the third 100-meter stage.

Generally speaking, after the athletes maintain high speed in the first two 100-meter stages, lactic acid accumulates rapidly in their bodies and their physical strength is consumed rapidly. By the third 100-meter stage, they not only enter a new curve stage, but as their physical strength declines, their speed will naturally decline because they need to control and resist the centripetal force of the curve.

However, this speed drop is also limited, unless the athlete has over-consumed his physical energy in the previous two 100-meter stages and his physical strength collapses at this stage, which will lead to a significant speed drop.

If there is a significant drop in speed at this point, it will be difficult to catch up in the final 100-meter stage.

Many track and field fans who had paid attention to Su Yu's speed performance in the first two 100-meter stages were also worried as the race entered the third 100-meter stage.

Su Yu...Su Yu won't have the biggest problem for 400m runners in the third stage, a sudden drop in speed, right? !

At this moment, the Colombian athlete in the eighth lane was thinking that he could easily surpass the young Chinese player in the ninth lane in the third 100-meter stage.

For the Colombian player, he thought that he had controlled the rhythm very well in this game and was not at all carried away by the young Chinese player in the ninth lane.

Even if he was led by Su Yu's rhythm, he thought he could handle it, because Su Yu's rhythm was not actually too outrageous.

Of course, in the mind of this Colombian player, this is because Su Yu’s ability is limited to this. Even if he completely loses control and forgets his original rhythm, his speed will hardly be that fast.

…

That's what he originally thought.

He originally thought that in the third 100-meter stage, Su Yu would experience a drastic drop in speed due to the speed and physical strength overdrawn in the previous two 100-meter stages. However, after the third stage, although Su Yu's speed did drop a bit, he seemed to be... declining slowly? !

At this moment, the contestant from Colombia was finally awakened.

What's going on? !

This young player from the Chinese team...can he still control his own rhythm? !

His speed and rhythm didn't collapse? !

This thought originally just flashed through the Colombian player's mind, but as the cornering stage ended, he discovered that Su Yu did not experience a speed collapse, and suddenly a thought flashed through his mind - Oh no!

In the audience, Liu Qinlong in the Chinese contestant zone and Han Yiqing and others in the audience, after confirming that Su Yu was still steadily controlling the tempo, they felt like their heads exploded...!

Su Yu’s speed... this speed...!

Much faster than yesterday's performance in the qualifiers? !

Although they also thought that Su Yu's performance in the group stage might be better than in the qualifiers, they did not really expect the situation to be like this!

All of a sudden, everyone let out a loud roar of excitement, and began to shout even louder at the top of their lungs.

"Come on Su Yu!!!"

"Su Yu Chong ahh ...

Not only was this voice heard at the scene, but also in the live commentary room of the domestic sports channel, after seeing that Su Yu still maintained the third place in the fourth 100-meter stage, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming's heads also buzzed...!

"Su Yu...! Su Yu is in third place!"

"Hold on! Su Yu has a chance to advance directly to the 400m semi-finals!!"

"Su Yu!!!"

On the field, after entering the last 100-meter stage, the Colombian player in lane 8 entered his second half of the high-speed stage, but this Colombian player found that he could not seem to close the distance between himself and Su Yu any faster in the last 80 meters.

The most terrifying thing is that in the last 50 meters, the Colombian athlete found that the distance between him and Su Yu was shortened and completely stopped...!

Oh damn…!

This young player from the Chinese team is also a player who will explode later in the game...!

When it came to the last 30 meters, the Colombian athlete found that Su Yu's speed had further increased. He finally gave up the idea of ​​overtaking Su Yu in despair and began to maintain his final position.

The last 30 meters...

The last 20 meters!

The last 10 meters! ! !

"Cross the finish line!!! Congratulations to Su Yu for winning the last semi-final spot in the sixth group of the men's 400-meter sprint!!!"

"Congratulations to Su Yu and the Chinese team! This is the first time that a Chinese athlete has made it to the men's 400m sprint semi-finals of the World Championships!!!"
