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 178
"Ahhh! Su Yu is awesome! I'm tired of saying this!"
In the audience seats, the cheers from the audience continued, and the most excited people on the field were obviously the domestic 400-meter sprint enthusiasts.
As a niche group of track and field enthusiasts, they originally thought that it would take at least seven or eight years for the domestic 400-meter sprint to rise again. Before last year, athletes like Li Mingzhou were scolded by them for their passive performance in the competition.
How could they have imagined at that time that today, at an ordinary national track and field grand prix race in the country, they would actually celebrate because of Li Mingzhou's performance.
In the audience, Lao Hu, a member of the 400-meter enthusiast group, looked at Li Mingzhou on the field with a look of emotion on his face: "I noticed this Li Mingzhou when he had his first competition when he was 18 or 19 years old. His talent was really outstanding back then. I originally thought he would have a chance to break the 400-meter record, but the older he got, the worse he performed in competitions."
"Last season, I heard that he didn't qualify for the Asian Championships, and it seemed that he had originally planned to retire at the end of last season..."
Unexpectedly, Li Mingzhou did not retire. He was even called up to the national team for training. In the new season, he ran a result of 45.97 seconds!
Han Yiqing and his group are very fond of the 400-meter sprint and are therefore very familiar with all the domestic 400-meter runners.
How could they not know about the situation of Li Mingzhou mentioned by Lao Hu?
They all knew that Li Mingzhou was talented, but in competitive sports, a talented player might not necessarily be the one who wins in the end.
Han Yiqing and others all knew that the overall competitive atmosphere of the 400-meter sprint in China in the past years had destroyed countless athletes with excellent talents.
It's not just Li Mingzhou. Apart from Li Mingzhou, there are more than a dozen players like Han Yiqing who are in a similar situation as him and retired early because they saw no future.
They once thought that Li Mingzhou would be the next such player - but now, in the late stage of his career, Li Mingzhou suddenly seemed to wake up.
Looking at Li Mingzhou's results on the electronic screen, Guo Debiao sighed: "Li Mingzhou, what a pity."
If he had woken up and worked hard a few years earlier, with his talent, he would have broken the 46-second mark long ago.
You know, this time his result improved by as much as 0.62 seconds - but how long has Li Mingzhou been training in the national team? If he had come to his senses earlier, even if the training results of the provincial team were not as good as those of the national team, his results would never be as good as they were in the past.
Han Yiqing and the others wanted to say "It's not too late to wake up now", but they all felt that it was too late for Li Mingzhou to wake up.
I don’t know what Li Mingzhou himself thinks?
***
Li Mingzhou himself?
Li Mingzhou himself just doesn't want to see anyone right now.
After a preliminary match, Su Yu was still able to turn around and care about his condition, but he collapsed to the ground - when the game was over, he could already imagine how Zhang Mingliang would laugh at him.
When Li Mingzhou returned to the J Province Sports Team's locker room with a grim face, his coach was already waiting for him in the locker room with a look of surprise on his face.
"Li Mingzhou, you kid!"
The coach patted his shoulder excitedly, unable to suppress the smile on his face.
"I told you you have talent!"
“45.97 seconds!!!”
"Tell me about you, if you had this much energy a few years ago, would you have missed out on a spot in the Asian Championships last season?"
Li Mingzhou's coach paced back and forth in the lounge excitedly: "In tonight's 400-meter final... you should have a chance to win a medal, that's great! I'll ask the team for you later, and we'll try to compete in international competitions this season. Oh, by the way, you're on the national team now, so the national team should be able to sign you up for international competitions..."
Li Mingzhou looked at his coach's excitement, sat on the long bench in the lounge, scratched his hair and said, "Don't get so excited yet, winning a medal is not a sure thing."
Hearing what Li Mingzhou said, his coach was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean? We don't expect to win the gold medal, but your result in the preliminaries was 45.97 seconds. If you perform well in the finals, isn't it enough to win a medal?"
As he spoke, Li Mingzhou picked up the remote control and turned on the TV in the lounge. Lin Zekai was among the players in the match currently being played.
After a short wait, the competition in this group finally ended with Lin Zekai's victory.
Compared with the group of Su Yu and Li Mingzhou, the results of the players in Lin Zekai's group are more balanced. Lin Zekai has a more obvious advantage, but the advantage is not as huge as that of Su Yu.
However, even so, Lin Zekai still ran a score of 46.10 in this group. At the same time, among the players in this group, only four players had scores falling outside 48 seconds.
After seeing Lin Zekai's result, Li Mingzhou's coach gasped.
He knew that Lin Zekai ran 45.93 seconds in the Asian Championships last season, but Lin Zekai has not been able to replicate his Asian Championships form in domestic competitions since then.
These coaches also reviewed Lin Zekai's performance in the Asian Championships. At that time, Lin Zekai was following Su Yu's rhythm, which allowed him to persist until the end and not lose his rhythm.
These specific performances can be seen from Lin Zekai's performance after returning from the Asian Championships last season - his situation of rushing forward in the game has improved, but if we talk about Lin Zekai's true level, it is definitely less than 46 seconds.
As a result, after returning from winter training this time, in the new season, although Lin Zekai was still reckless in this preliminary match, he actually gradually developed the overall rhythm!
In the second half of the game just now, Lin Zekai did not have the rhythm collapse that he had in previous games.
Not only that, he probably didn't reach his limit in this race, but even so, he still ran a time of 46.10 seconds.
Doesn't this mean that if Lin Zekai puts in his best effort, he can basically get it within 46 seconds? !
After seeing this result, Li Mingzhou's coach stood there in a daze.
Just a year ago, no domestic 400m runner could break the 46-second mark.
This is only one year later. In the domestic Grand Prix races, are there so many athletes capable of breaking the 46-second barrier that they may not even be able to compete for a medal? !
Li Mingzhou's coach froze for a moment: "...There is only one Lin Zekai..."
After two more preliminaries, Zhang Mingliang came on stage.
In this preliminary round, Zhang Mingliang put all his effort into the sprint, as if he wanted to completely get rid of the nickname "bungee jumping machine" on his head, or it seemed like he was competing with someone.
That's right.
After all, before Su Yu appeared, Zhang Mingliang had always been hailed as the player in the country with the greatest hope of breaking the 46-second mark.
As a result, now, after one season, Su Yu has not only broken the 46-second mark, but has also broken the 45-second mark.
Not only that, in addition to Su Yu, Lin Zekai ran 45.93 seconds at last year's Asian Championships, and Li Mingzhou ran 45.97 seconds today.
The one with the 'most hope' fell to the last place, and he still had the nickname of the bungee jumping machine that he couldn't get rid of.
Li Mingzhou's coach thought about it - that's right, if Zhang Mingliang still had any ambition, he would not allow himself to wait until the 400-meter final in the evening to sprint under the 46-second mark.
As expected.
In this competition, Zhang Mingliang finally crushed Lin Zekai and Li Mingzhou with a score of 45.90 seconds, becoming the "number one" in the domestic men's 400-meter sprint after Su Yu.
Li Mingzhou's coach was shocked when he saw the result.
He finally understood why Li Mingzhou said "it's not certain that we can win a medal".
Right now, there are only four players who are capable of breaking the 46-second mark: Su Yu, Zhang Mingliang, Li Mingzhou and Lin Zekai. In this case, Li Mingzhou has a chance to win a medal, but in this arena, except Su Yu, no one else dares to say that they have an absolute chance to win a medal.
Li Mingzhou's coach never imagined that in just one year, the domestic 400-meter sprint event would undergo such earth-shaking changes.
Li Mingzhou glanced at the live broadcast on the TV and said, "It's not just this."
His head coach, Lao Zhang Weiguo, looked at Li Mingzhou and glared, "What else?"
Li Mingzhou pointed to the live broadcast screen and said, "Here it comes."
Zhang Weiguo looked towards the direction of the live broadcast screen on TV and listened to the live commentator introducing the eight players one by one, but he didn't understand who Li Mingzhou was referring to.
Most of the eight athletes on the field seemed to be young athletes, and Zhang Weiguo did not see any of them who were well-known in the domestic 400-meter event.
Li Mingzhou lazily pointed at Jiang Ruohui on the seventh lane: "The one on the seventh lane."
Zhang Weiguo looked at it for a long time before he remembered: "Jiang Ruohui? The one who originally ran the 100 meters?"
During the winter training, Jiang Ruohui started competing in the 400m as well as the 100m, which caused a small stir in the circle.
However, the national team has announced the test results of two young athletes, Jiang Ruohui and Zhuang Yu, one at 47.93 seconds and the other at 48.07 seconds.
This result is already a good one considering their age and the previous situation of 400 meters in China.
But if it were to be brought to today's National Athletics Grand Prix, it wouldn't be impressive enough.
In today's competition, among more than 200 runners, at least sixty to seventy of them ran within 48 seconds.
Although many people's results are between 47.50 and 48 seconds, it is much better than the previous situation where most players' results were around 49 seconds.
In today's match, except for Su Yu, none of the other capable players let the game go.
It should be said that the once mixed environment of the men's 400-meter sprint in China has been completely cleared up in the first battle of the new season.
Under such circumstances, even if Jiang Ruohui has the ability to run under 48 seconds, he is still too far away from the finals...
This is what Zhang Weiguo thought before watching Jiang Ruohui's performance in the preliminary round.
When Zhang Weiguo saw Jiang Ruohui's performance in the 400-meter race, he opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
"How come so many little monsters appeared in just these two years?"
In this group's preliminaries, Jiang Ruohui ran a time of 47.11 seconds, ranking first in the group and currently ranks seventh overall in the preliminaries.
The result of 47.11 seconds is nearly 1 second behind Su Yu's time of 46.18 seconds in the preliminary round of this competition last season - not to mention that Jiang Ruohui is 18 years old, two years older than Su Yu at the same time last season.
But Zhang Weiguo also understood that for a player like Su Yu, not to mention in China, even internationally, players with his talent level were top-notch.
If we look at the domestic situation alone - before winter training, Jiang Ruohui, who had trained at the Olympic training base, had a final 400m test result of 47.93 seconds. Now, after only one winter training cycle, his result has reached 47.11 seconds!
The extent of this improvement in performance cannot be simply described by the word "astonishing".
Zhang Weiguo was silent for two seconds: "In the past, the 400m in our country seemed to be full of slackers. Now, the 400m in our country... why do I feel like there are talented athletes emerging everywhere?"
Li Mingzhou looked at the shocked expression on Zhang Weiguo's face and smiled disdainfully: "Old Zhang, you are old? What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Where do all these talented players come from? Look at Zhang Mingliang, look at Lin Zekai, and then look at me - aren't we the old guys here? The only two talented players who have really emerged are Su Yu and Jiang Ruohui who just emerged."
Zhang Weiguo looked at Li Mingzhou, who was slumped on the bench, and pointed at him with amusement: "Come on, what's wrong with you? Who would call themselves a bastard?"
Li Mingzhou sneered and was too lazy to argue with Zhang Weiguo.
He knows whether he is a gangster or not.
Zhang Weiguo looked at his expression. After all, he had been teaching disciples for more than ten years. How could he not know what Li Mingzhou was thinking?
This guy always looks like a lazy slacker. All he ever wanted was to get some good results in major competitions so that he could get a good public office in the future. He doesn't look like a pure athlete at all.
In fact, his original character was as stubborn as a cow.
Thinking of this, Zhang Weiguo was too lazy to persuade him anymore and told Li Mingzhou to have a massage and relax quickly as he had to prepare for the competition in the evening.
***
In the audience, 400m enthusiasts like Han Yiqing seemed to be overwhelmed with happiness after watching all the 400m preliminaries.
“This is really…”
From the very beginning of this game, the scene of the players on the field giving their all in the competition made them very happy and excited. After watching the entire preliminaries, many people in their group had already started chatting passionately with their relatives and friends on their mobile phones.
Our domestic 400-meter sprint event...finally gave them hope! !
It is not to say that the fact that there are sixty or seventy athletes in the country who can run under 48 seconds now means that China's 400-meter sprint performance has taken off - in fact, with this result, it is still far from the top level in Asia.
Without comparing with other countries, let's just compare with the situation in China last season - last season, there were actually about 40 domestic athletes who ran under 48 seconds.
Although there are currently sixty or seventy people running under 48 seconds in a race, if compared with neighboring Japan, they had more than a hundred athletes running under 48 seconds in the 2018 season.
Moreover, these sixty or seventy players may not have made significant improvements during the winter training in the past season. Many of them originally had good talents, but they did not receive good training in the past and the coaching staff did not pay enough attention to them.
Now all teams have begun to pay more attention to the 400 meters, and the athletes have also become more serious in the competition. Those who originally had relatively good strength and talent have all shown their strength in this first game, giving people a feeling that the 400 meters is thriving.
But in fact, these track and field fans also know that it is not too difficult for 400-meter runners to break the 48-second mark. The real difficulty lies in how to continue to improve afterwards.
However, no matter what, the domestic 400-meter sprint event now gives people the feeling that it has really been revitalized!
***
After the morning preliminaries ended, Su Yu's overall condition remained good and he did not feel over-consumed.
After the baptism of the World Championships last season, domestic competitions now really only serve as practice matches for him.
Unless Zheng Tianxi, Feng Chuming and others return to China to compete with him, it would be difficult for Su Yu to perform at his best even if he wanted to.
It’s not that Su Yu is unwilling to give his all in every game, but for an athlete, a balanced competitive state is the best.
And here in Su Yu, the schedule of the Grand Prix race in the next two or three days is indeed more suitable for him to relax and deal with it.
At this time, in the backcourt lounge of the S Province Sports Team, Wang Changan, the sprint team leader of the S Province Sports Team, and his nephew Wang Pengfei were both here to provide logistics support for Su Yu.
Su Yu felt a little embarrassed because of this and felt that there was no need to be so exaggerated.
Wang Pengfei smiled and patted Su Yu on the shoulder: "It's not an exaggeration, you are now the number one treasure of the sprint group of our S Province Sports Team!"
Wang Pengfei felt very emotional as he looked at the child in front of him who had grown a lot compared to previous years but still had a youthful look on his face.
When he first saw Pei Dingshan fall in love with Su Yu at the summer camp, he couldn't understand why.
After all, Su Yu's sickly nature was a huge minus. During the summer camp training, Wang Pengfei was afraid that Su Yu would have some problems due to the training.
Who could have imagined the result?
The sickly kid who was not favored by everyone in the summer camp is now full of honors.
But despite the compliments, Wang Changan and Wang Pengfei also knew that Su Yu was not a talkative person, so after giving Su Yu a few simple instructions in the lounge, they left first.
Only after Wang Changan and the others left did Su Yu open WeChat on his mobile phone.
In the WeChat group, Ye Minghao had just sent out a string of lucky red envelopes, and the names of the red envelopes were very loud - congratulations to him, Ye Minghao himself, and Jiang Ruohui for successfully advancing to the 100m and 400m finals.
As usual, Zhou Yuang, the king of red envelopes in the group, grabbed 4 red envelopes at the first time, but ended up with 3 ranking at the bottom.
Zhou Yuang: [=皿=+The red envelopes in this group are discriminating against me! 】
After seeing it, Su Yu typed without hesitation: [0.0@周宇昂, send one yourself to see your strength. 】
Zhou Yuang: [……]
Ye Minghao: [@周宇昂, post one yourself and see how good you are^^]
Jiang Yuan: [@周宇昂,^^ let’s see the strength. 】
Jiang Ruohui: [@Zhou Yuang, strength? 】
Zhou Yuang: [……=_=+What’s wrong with you? What about the friendship and kindness in this group? Did they all disappear into another dimension? 】
Zhou Yuang: [(Try your luck for a red envelope) Let me show you my strength! 】
Zhou Yuang: […Fuck! 】
Although Su Yu has not opened the red envelope, just by looking at Zhou Yuang's own speech, he knows that he has once again proved his "strength" as a non-African.
After Su Yu clicked on the red envelope and confirmed the result, he happily sent an emoticon pack saying "Xiao Yu thanks the boss". Then, after everyone in the group thanked the boss one after another, he @ed Jiang Ruohui alone.
Su Yu: [@Jiang Ruohui, Huizi, Thai cool gif]
The Thai cool emoticon package that Su Yu posted was of course directed at Jiang Ruohui's performance in the 400m preliminaries.
As soon as he returned to the backcourt locker room, he turned on the TV in the locker room and watched the preliminary performance of his winter training teammates.
It can be said that compared with the G Province Z City race last season, this time the competition is held a year later, and Su Yu, as an eyewitness, has also felt the obvious changes.
Although Su Yu did not say it out loud about this change, he was very happy and looking forward to it.
In the past season, as Su Yu participated more and more in international competitions, he also felt more and more deeply the shared honor and disgrace between athletes and national glory in international competitions.
At the same time, as he participated in more and more major competitions, he also saw the hardships and heavy burdens behind athletes like Zheng Tianxi, Feng Chuming, Zhan Youming, and Sun Yuhang.
Competitive sports require talent.
But no project can survive forever relying solely on one genius.
For Su Yu, he is willing to constantly motivate himself and take steps to catch up with the footsteps of Zheng Tianxi, Zhan Youming and others, and become a player in the new generation who can continue to support the pressure of the project at the front.
But if there is only one top player supporting a project, then when this top player leaves, the only result that awaits this project is the collapse of the mountain.
Therefore, when Su Yu saw the domestic 400-meter athletes gradually burst out with greater strength and began to strive for progress, he was also very happy. The scene before him made him seem to be able to see the domestic track and field events gradually flourishing in the future.
In the group, Jiang Ruohui also smiled for a while after seeing the emoticons that Su Yu sent him.
In this G Province Z City race, in order to devote more energy to the 400m event, he only signed up for the 400m event and did not sign up for the 100m event.
His original training coach in the G Province Sports Team was a little dissatisfied with this. His coach felt that even if he wanted to compete in the 400m event, he couldn't just give up the 100m event, especially in the Grand Prix race in their own province, G Province.
More importantly, his coach thought that if he just ignored the 100 meters and focused on the 400 meters, he might not be able to achieve good results in the end.
This was also the reason why Jiang Ruohui was under tremendous pressure before the 400m preliminaries in the morning.
But fortunately, it was all worth it.
After the 400m preliminaries, he returned to the locker room with a time of 47.11 seconds, ranking eighth in the final preliminaries. His coach finally stopped talking and patted him on the shoulder, telling him not to fall behind in the 100m in the next Grand Prix.
Finally, the efforts of an entire winter training cycle paid off at this moment.
Compared with the better results he had achieved in the 100-meter event, the results he has achieved now in this event of his choice make Jiang Ruohui feel even more motivated.
Of course, the better news represented by this result is that he has successfully qualified for the men's 400m sprint event at this season's World Youth Championships.
In this morning's preliminaries, Zhuang Yu, who belongs to the national team's men's 400m 'youth training group', also participated in the competition.
In fact, Zhuang Yu performed quite well in the morning race, running a time of 47.67 seconds, but this result is still a little far from the limit of Zhuang Yu's usual training.
But no matter what, everyone performed very well in this first game after winter training.
For example, in the men's 100-meter sprint preliminaries in the morning, Su Yu and Ye Minghao ran 10.30 and 10.37 seconds respectively, and easily qualified for the finals with the first and second overall rankings in the preliminaries.
***
After the morning competition ended, on the Internet at noon on the 8th, track and field fans and the general public had already started discussing the preliminary results of the athletes this morning.
A short-legged badger: [#2020 Track and Field Outdoor Season First Battle# I watched the live broadcast of Jigu Video this morning, but I didn’t quite understand it. Can anyone explain the performance of a few key players? ←The main thing here is Su Yu, cough. 】
I love track and field: [@A short-legged 猹, what about Su Yu’s race this morning? Hahaha, in fact, although many people bought tickets to watch the game because of Su Yu, the highlight of this morning's game was not actually Yu Di. 】
A short-legged badger: [? ? ? 】
I love track and field: [@A short-legged civet, don’t be impatient, my friend, just listen to me slowly. Although the focus of the morning's competition was not on Yu Di, Yu Di's performance... I can only say that it is more in line with the title of 'Yu Di'. 】
In the 100-meter preliminaries, I felt that he had almost reached the finish line before he even exerted any strength. In fact, his reaction time at the start was 0.158 seconds, which showed that he was indeed running very relaxed. 】
Not to mention the 400m preliminaries, his reaction time at the start was as slow as 0.189 seconds. I think even if he slows down a bit, even to 0.200 seconds, it will not affect Yu Di's overall ranking first in the 400m preliminaries. 】
[There is no way. Yu Di's current 400-meter results are indeed too far behind those of domestic players. 】
[The only regret is that the gap between them is too big, so I really can't tell how much the winter training of half a year has improved Yu Di's 400m level. But based on past experience, I suspect that Yu Di may now have a relatively stable hard power to break the 45-second mark in the 400m. Even if it is not easy to improve the result to under 45 seconds, the hard power should be stable at the edge of 45 seconds. 】
[As for the 100m, the situation should not be much different. The 100m race requires more condition than the 400m, and the margin for error is almost zero. But in the morning's preliminaries, Yu Di had a reaction time of 0.156s at the start and still ran 10.30 easily. He was too stable. I feel that by the time of this year's Tokyo Olympics, although Yu Di may not have a chance to enter the finals in the 100m, he may be able to dream of breaking the 10-second mark in the 100m? 】
The series of answers left the onlooker named Short-legged Badger dumbfounded.
A short-legged badger: [Is it so awesome? I thought Su Yu's performance in the morning's competition was average. After all, the results didn't seem to be very impressive. 】
I love athletics: [? ? ? My friend, if you watch more domestic competitions, you will know that the National Track and Field Grand Prix is already the top domestic competition. Do you think there are many athletes who can get results close to Yu Di? 】
In this Weibo post, this short-legged badger and 'I Love Track and Field' were chatting with each other, and somehow they managed to turn this Weibo post into a hot topic in the related topic.
Therefore, before long, more people who wanted to know more and more about science emerged from the comments. Many track and field fans talked passionately about the "rebirth of the 400 meters", and finally praised the interview of Su Yu and Lin Zekai after the Asian Championships last year.
On the Internet, there are many track and field fans who are quite impressed by the heated discussions related to track and field events on the Internet today.
I still say the same thing - if this had happened two years ago, if they had discussed track and field events on Weibo, how many passers-by would have paid attention?
How is it like now?
Just a simple topic can spark a lively conversation.
Nowadays, although track and field fans are still accustomed to communicating on the Track and Field Kingdom Forum when discussing professional topics, more and more people are now browsing Weibo from time to time and chatting with passers-by.
Many old track and field fans can clearly feel that the track and field atmosphere in China is getting better and better.
***
It was in such a warm and friendly atmosphere that the day quickly came to the evening stage of the competition.
Although domestic competitions are now beginning to move closer to the habits of international competitions as much as possible, the specific schedules of domestic competitions are still not as close as those of international competitions.
For example, tonight's men's 100m final was scheduled for 6:10pm - if this happened at the World Championships or the Olympics, the time would have to be moved back a bit, with the 100m final being the main event.
However, for Su Yu, who will participate in the 100m and 400m finals tonight, this does not make much difference.
The 100-meter final ended early, which also helped him to quickly adjust and recover his physical strength to prepare for the 400-meter final which started at 8:40.
Of course, for the track and field fans and Su Yu fans watching the game on site, the schedule arranged by the organizer is very friendly.
After all, we can see Su Yu's first appearance shortly after the evening game starts, and then later at the end, Su Yu can appear again, which is very good for fans.
At this moment, Su Yu, who was under the attention of everyone, was in good condition and feeling pretty good.
At this moment, he was standing in the fifth lane of the competition. On his left was Ye Minghao, who took second place in the overall ranking of the preliminaries. On his right in the sixth lane was also an old acquaintance, Gao Tianwu, who was also from Province G.
Before, after the lane list for the finals was announced, Ye Minghao smiled and said to him in the group chat, "Xiao Yu, you're going to be attacked from both sides by our contestants from Province G in the finals."
At this moment, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming from Jigu Video also had the same teasing tone.
But joking aside, both Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming saw clearly that in today's competition, with only Gao Tianwu and Ye Minghao, there was probably no hope for them to successfully "sandwich" Su Yu.
really.
After the start of this final, Su Yu's performance fully demonstrated his current dominance in the domestic 100-meter race.
From the moment he burst out at the start, Su Yu's series of starting movements were exceptionally smooth. Even though everyone knew that Su Yu was really good at bursting out in the later stages, no one could suppress him in the early stages of the race.
From the explosive acceleration at the start to the mid-run and the final explosive acceleration, Gao Tianwu and Ye Minghao did not relax at all.
But in the first 60 meters, Gao Tianwu might still have a slight advantage over Su Yu, but starting from the last 40 meters, Gao Tianwu's strength was gradually exhausted and he could no longer maintain his maximum speed, while Su Yu gradually reached his maximum speed at this stage.
By the last 20 meters, the entire stadium was almost dominated by Su Yu.
No one could suppress him at this stage, and no one could even successfully hold back Su Yu's rhythm at this stage.
In the last 20 meters, Su Yu widened the distance between himself and Gao Tianwu and Ye Minghao to a level visible to the naked eye.
In the end, Su Yu ran a time of 10.17 seconds in this race, a victory without suspense!
In this game, Gao Tianwu also ran a good result of 10.26 seconds, and Ye Minghao also broke his personal best with a result of 10.30 seconds.
When Su Yu crossed the finish line of the 100-meter final, although he also supported his knees and gasped for a while, his condition was obviously still far from his limit.
After crossing the finish line, Ye Minghao panted for a while, but he stubbornly squatted at the end of the track and refused to sit down on the ground. After seeing Su Yu stand up, Ye Minghao also reluctantly stood up, but he was still supporting his knees with both hands, adjusting his breathing and state.
After Su Yu noticed Ye Minghao's performance, he turned his head and looked at him with some doubt: "Ye Zi, don't you want to take a rest?"
Ye Minghao took a breath and smiled, "No need, I'm fine."
Su Yu:?
When Ye Minghao saw the puzzled look on Su Yu’s face, he knew that this guy definitely didn’t have the habit of checking Weibo.
After the preliminaries ended this morning, the scene where Su Yu turned around and paid attention to Li Mingzhou was eventually captured by the unscrupulous netizens on Weibo and made into an emoticon package - a gif of a weak Su Yu who cares about you.
Before the game started, before Ye Minghao put down his phone, he saw Zhang Mingliang very unethically sent this gif emoticon package to the winter training group of the national team's sprint group, and also @ed Li Mingzhou.
After seeing that emoticon, Ye Minghao added one more goal to his game goal for tonight - he must not become tomorrow's emoticon 2.0.
So after Su Yu turned around and paid attention to him, Ye Minghao straightened up with a smile on his face, indicating that he was fine.
Little did they know that because of Su Yu, the on-site director had decisively cut the camera to Su Yu and Ye Minghao's perspective.
Therefore, the unscrupulous netizens immediately noticed that Ye Minghao seemed calm but was actually a little reluctant.
So not long after, the emoticon package of Ye Minghao standing up and smiling immediately after noticing Su Yu turning around was also released - the gif of Ye Minghao who is determined to be strong all his life.
_(:зゝ∠)_And after the emoticon package was freshly released, it was immediately posted to the "Su Yu and his friends" group by the hilarious and wicked Zhou Yuang.
That night, after Ye Minghao got the phone, he sent three exclusive red envelopes to Su Yu, Jiang Yuan and Jiang Ruohui in the group with a smiling expression, which made Su Yu, Jiang Yuan and Jiang Ruohui feel happy for a while, but Zhou Yuang, who was kneeling on the crematorium, burst into tears on the spot.
On this day, in addition to the men's 100 meters, the men's 400 meters final which started at 8:40 also completely surpassed the results of the men's 400 meters event held at the same venue last year.
In the men's 400m final, Su Yu easily ran a time of 45.51 seconds and won the championship by a landslide.
After Su Yu, Zhang Mingliang once again broke his own personal best with a time of 45.87 seconds, and Li Mingzhou also made another breakthrough with a time of 45.92 seconds.
Following the two was Lin Zekai who ran 45.99 seconds.
No one expected that in tonight's men's 400m final, the results of three of the top four athletes would be so close, and all of the top four athletes broke the 46-second mark.
Compared to last season, the improvement is beyond words.
In addition to the first time, Jiang Ruohui also refreshed his personal best in history with a time of 46.98 seconds in this game, successfully breaking the 47-second mark in 400 meters and winning the sixth place in this Grand Prix final.
After this final, domestic track and field fans had a new round of carnival.
While celebrating, track and field fans are also looking forward to what kind of performance and results Su Yu will achieve in international competitions this season!
