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 63
On April 12, 2018, the Z City leg of the National Track and Field Grand Prix officially entered the final day of competition.
Compared with the staggered schedule of preliminaries and finals in the previous few days, only the finals of various events are left on April 12. Starting at 9 a.m., the finals of women's 100-meter hurdles, men's 110-meter hurdles, men's shot put, javelin, women's high jump and other individual events will be launched one after another.
At the same time, the women's and men's 200m finals will start at 10:05 and 10:10 am respectively.
In the men's group, in addition to Su Yu and Zhang Lei, there was also Gao Yansong who advanced to the finals with Su Yu who had become quite familiar with each other during the winter training. In last night's preliminaries, Gao Yansong was in good shape and advanced to the men's 200m final with a total ranking first in the preliminaries with a time of 20.71 seconds.
After Gao Yansong, there is another famous domestic men's 200m athlete, Li Qingci, who also ran a good time of 21.08 seconds in the preliminaries and won the second place in the overall preliminaries.
In addition, Zhao Ao, Zhang Qixuan, Zheng Yunfei, Qiao Fanxu and other players also advanced to the men's 200m final. Among them, Qiao Fanxu, who advanced from the eighth place in the men's 200m preliminaries, had a preliminary result of 21.40 seconds, while Zhou Yuang's final preliminary ranking of 21.49 seconds was 11th, which was very close to the qualifying spot for the final.
"If you lose, you lose."
When his friends in the group were comforting him, Zhou Yuang's attitude was quite calm. After all, winning or losing was not something they could control. What he could control was to perform as well as possible - well, it would be best if he could be more stable in his rhythm and technique. Although Su Xiaoyu withdrew the message last night, the coach had already seen it. Therefore, although the Z city race had not ended yet, he had already received a new technical guidance package.
Putting aside these annoying topics, Zhou Yuang replied rapidly on his phone: [Ahhh, let’s not talk about that for now. Xiaoyu’s game is almost here, right? 】
After the game ended last night, Zhou Yuang started packing his luggage, preparing to fly to H City, J Province today to meet up with Ye Minghao, Jiang Ruohui and others, because his next itinerary would be separate from Su Yu and Jiang Yuan.
Zhou Yuang's original plan was to watch Su Yu's final before running away, but the flight could not wait for anyone, so he had to book a ticket for 10:30 in the morning. Now he was already squatting at the airport, waiting to watch the men's 200m final before boarding the plane.
Fortunately, Jiang Ruohui and Ye Minghao, who were also far away in H City, could only watch the game through the live broadcast of Jigu Video. The three of them were watching the live broadcast together through the video with microphones, which was quite interesting (?).
The time is now 9:50 in the morning, and there are still nearly 20 minutes before the men's 200m preliminaries at 10:10. Zhou Yuang, Jiang Ruohui and Ye Minghao are chatting together.
"Wow, what's up with the number of people online for this live broadcast? Almost 100,000, right? Is the Grand Prix this year so popular?"
As an athlete, Zhou Yuang would occasionally watch competitions on Jigu Live, but in his impression, in the track and field events he watched in the past, the number of people online in the live broadcast room at the same time was often only 10,000 or 20,000, which was already a very high number. As a result, there were nearly 100,000 people in the live broadcast room today?
"?"
"Don't you have any idea of what was trending on your site yesterday?"
Although yesterday's hot search was initially bought by the marketing and promotion department of G Province TV Station, the subsequent interactions among netizens were real. Last night, the topic #Athletes long jump and I long jump# spontaneously initiated by netizens attracted a lot of stupid netizens to record videos, and finally caused a lot of discussion not only on Weibo, but also on several new short video platforms.
The photo of Jiang Yuan, Su Yu and Zhou Yuang leaving the field together last night attracted a lot of netizens who love beauty. After reviewing the game clips of the past two days, many netizens, including yesterday's silly spectators and later netizens who love beauty, were lured into the live video broadcast room by the promotional video released by Jigu Video.
***
In the live broadcast group of the National Track and Field Grand Prix on Jigu Live, the team responsible for this live broadcast has been in an extremely excited mood from yesterday to today - after all, no matter which team encounters a situation where the number of people online at the same time during the live broadcast soars five or six times, it would be difficult not to be excited.
Of course, there is also tension after the excitement.
After all, Su Yu’s 200m final today is at 10:10 in the morning. After the morning final, how much traffic can be retained for the last stage of the evening schedule will depend on their capabilities.
However, there is still some time before the evening game, so everyone should concentrate and plan to make the best arrangements for the live broadcast of the daytime finals.
Everyone from photographers to directors to various auxiliary staff are now in high spirits, including the operators of the official Weibo account of Jigu Live, who are also ready to push hot information in real time.
All this has nothing to do with Su Yu for the time being. At this moment, he is warming up on the warm-up field before the game. Now the time to 10:10 is getting closer and closer, and the other 7 players at the warm-up field have also completed their warm-up preparations one after another.
Among the seven people present, Gao Yansong was the most familiar with Su Yu. After finishing the warm-up, he noticed that Su Yu seemed a little too calm, so he kindly asked Su Yu how he was doing.
“…Yeah, it’s OK.”
Su Yu knew that Gao Yansong probably noticed that he was not very excited anymore.
In fact, compared to his condition in the preliminary round last night, Su Yu felt that he seemed to be a little more excited today, but he could also see that among his opponents, any one of them was in much better condition than him.
Although it is the first outdoor game of the season, it will take some time for the players to adapt to the outdoor venue, and their performance may be slightly worse than subsequent competitions. However, precisely because it is the first game of the season, and the need to impact the championship, the players’ enthusiasm for the game is very high.
Compared with them, Su Yu seemed a little too calm.
But when Gao Yansong heard Su Yu's answer that it was okay, he nodded at him and didn't say much more - after all, it was before the finals, and everyone was adjusting their condition. As an athlete, even if Su Yu was young, he must learn to be responsible for his own condition. Therefore, after the friendly reminder, Gao Yansong didn't say anything more, but continued to focus on adjusting his own condition.
After Gao Yansong turned around, Su Yu simply stretched his body and looked around at the seven opponents in front of him.
Among these seven opponents, he is currently most familiar with Gao Yansong and Zhang Lei.
Gao Yansong, Zhang Lei and Li Qingci, who ranked second in the preliminaries, should be the strongest trio in the final.
Among them, Gao Yansong is still the strongest and relatively stable one. His 200m PB is 20.62 seconds. At the same time, he often maintains a state of running under 21 seconds, and his performance fluctuations are very small.
However, this is his advantage as well as his disadvantage.
Although Gao Yansong's performance is stable, it is also difficult for him to make a breakthrough. The national team's coaching staff has considered many times how to help Gao Yansong make a breakthrough, but they have not yet found a more suitable direction for breakthrough.
In addition to Gao Yansong, Zhang Lei and Li Qingci are also expected to be selected for the national team. Their PBs are very close, Zhang Lei's 20.78 and Li Qingci's 20.72. However, compared with Gao Yansong, their conditions are obviously not as stable, and their results often drop below 21 seconds.
Taking last season as an example, Zhang Lei ran under 21 seconds only twice, and Li Qingci ran under 21 seconds three times.
Precisely because of their unstable condition, Zhang Lei and Li Qingci are still on the national team's waiting list for assessment and have not received any call-up information yet.
In addition to Gao Yansong, Zhang Lei and Li Qingci, two of the remaining four contestants have also broken the 21-second mark, but relatively speaking, the number of times they have broken it is too few, and they do not really have the hard power to break it under 21 seconds.
In other words, in this competition, only Gao Yansong, Zhang Lei and Li Qingci have the ability to break 21 seconds. As for the remaining five players, judging from their strength on paper, Su Yu's PB of 21.18 seconds can only rank seventh among the finalists.
***
At this time in the Jigu live broadcast room, as the time for the men's 200m final at 10:10 is getting closer, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming will occasionally introduce the players of the men's 200m final to the audience in the live broadcast room.
Especially after the women's 200m event, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming focused their discussion on the eight athletes who were about to compete.
"The next eight contestants to appear on stage are our men's 200m finalists. Among them, Su Yu, a young athlete from the S Province Sports Team, made his 200m career debut at the Z City race of the National Track and Field Grand Prix. In the men's 200m preliminaries last night, he not only made it to the finals with a time of 21.18 seconds, but also gave us an extremely stunning shock with his strength!"
Along with the introduction of Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming, the public screen of Jigu Live Room instantly exploded with a gusher of bullet screens -
[Oh oh oh!] Here comes Xiaoyu baby! 】
[It’s so funny. What’s going on? After comparing Su Yu with the other 7 players on the field, he really looks like a child laborer? ? 】
[Pfft, Jiang Yuan didn’t seem like a child laborer last night, what’s going on with Su Yu! 】
[Wow, what’s going on? Su Yu’s looks are really my cup of tea! 】
Because the staff of Jigu Video had specifically told them to pay a little attention to the content and questions of the barrage today, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming would also take a quick look at the barrage in between their commentary. After taking a quick look at the barrage, the two veteran commentators were a little amused and helpless for a moment.
Obviously, these bystanders who came to watch the game did not come for the game. They came purely because Su Yu was noticed in yesterday's hot searches, so they came simply to see Su Yu. Therefore, the barrage in the live broadcast room looked particularly gaudy at the moment.
There were some people on the public screen who were also watching the game and reminded everyone that they were watching a game and the comments should not be too infatuated.
However, the two veteran commentators did not mind this situation too much. After all, these were the audiences attracted by Su Yu - and for many competitive sports events, you have to attract the audience's attention first, and then it is possible to slowly convert these audiences into competitive sports audiences who are interested in the event.
Just like the 110-meter hurdles back then, many people went to watch the competition simply for the personal charm of the hurdles king.
It was after watching the hurdle king's competition that the audience became interested in the 110-meter hurdles and gradually became fans of the event, making the 110-meter hurdles, which was originally an event that no one cared about in China, gradually become one of the most recognized track and field events in the country.
So some bystanders on the public screen felt that they were making too much noise, but in fact, in the eyes of veteran commentators like Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming, and even in the eyes of many track and field fans, it didn’t matter - being popular is a good thing, not a bad thing!
Because they knew that many viewers came for Su Yu, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming didn't mind introducing some extra information about Su Yu.
"I believe many of you should know that in yesterday's men's 200m preliminaries, Su Yu became the first Chinese athlete to meet the standards in the men's 200m event at the 2018 U20 World Youth Track and Field Championships in Tampere, Finland, with a time of 21.18 seconds."
"In addition to the 200m, Su Yu also reached the standard in the men's 100m event early on. That is to say, at the World Youth Championships in Tampere, Finland on July 10 this year, Su Yu is likely to represent the Chinese team and compete in both the men's 100m and 200m events at the World Youth Championships."
"Not only Su Yu, but also Jiang Yuan, who is from the S Province Sports Team, will likely represent the Chinese team in both the men's long jump and high jump events. Although the competition will not start until July this year, interested viewers can also pay attention to it in advance."
Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming's introduction was in response to Jigu Live's request. They also introduced the situation of Su Yu and Jiang Yuan, which could also provide some new information to the spectators who were just beginning to get to know Su Yu and Jiang Yuan.
Sure enough, after hearing the new news about Su Yu and Jiang Yuan, the audience in the live broadcast room showed great interest and asked questions related to the World Youth Championship on the public screen. But then Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming quickly changed the topic and shifted the focus of the discussion back to this game.
The two veteran commentators were already very good at controlling the topic, with just a few words like 'The World Youth Championship is still a long way off, but the game in front of us is about to start - I wonder how Su Yu will perform in today's game', and they had already drawn the attention of many people back.
At this time, all eight contestants in the men's 200m final have appeared on the field. From the second lane to the ninth lane, they are Qiao Fanxu, Zheng Yunfei, Zhang Lei, Gao Yansong, Li Qingci, Su Yu, Zhang Qixuan and Zhao Ao. Among them, Su Yu is in the seventh lane, which is a pretty good lane.
While introducing the lanes of each contestant, Tian Ruhui also introduced the basic principles of lane allocation for the finals, which was a good opportunity for the passers-by in the live broadcast room to understand the relevant rules and circumstances of track and field events.
While Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming were introducing the situation on the field, eight athletes including Su Yu had already adjusted their starting blocks immediately. Some athletes even squatted on the starting blocks and conducted a simple test run to confirm that there was no problem with the adjustment of their starting blocks.
The referee on site will not blow the whistle until he confirms that all the contestants have completed their preparations, reminding them that the competition is about to begin.
If you look from the perspective of the audience seats, you can also see that two huge lines of prompts have begun to appear on the large electronic screen on site - please keep quiet, so as not to disturb the runners when they start!
As subtitles appeared on the electronic screen, the on-site commentator began to remind the audience to remain quiet for the time being.
When the commentator reminded the audience, an unexpected comment suddenly appeared on the live broadcast screen of Jigu Video:
[Friends, have you watched the videos of the competitions from yesterday and the day before yesterday? Did the on-site commentator change? 】
puff.
As soon as this barrage came out, even the tense atmosphere before the start of the game was diluted a little, and many people laughed on the spot. It was really because the passionate voice of the live commentator two days ago was so impressive that when the live commentator opened his mouth just now, the hoarse voice with a little vicissitudes of life made people doubt the replacement of the commentator.
Obviously, the commentator worked too hard in the past two days, which resulted in his terrible hoarse voice today. However, this also indirectly confirmed how hard the commentator worked and how exciting the live game was.
There was laughter on the public screen for two seconds, but after the referee's command of "on your marks" sounded, the audience's attention was quickly drawn back to the game that was about to begin.
Most of the comments on the public screen of the live broadcast room are now filled with comments like "Come on Su Yu" or "Come on XX". Occasionally, one or two comments will flash by that are obviously from bystanders. However, the questions asked now are also related to the game, such as "I heard that Su Yu has a very fast reaction time when starting. Can he take the lead in today's final when he starts?"
Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming also noticed this problem - if someone asked this question last season, they might have to make up for Su Yu and say something like 'it depends on the athlete's condition', but as Su Yu's number of competitions increased, Su Yu's reaction time at the start was almost becoming a benchmark.
It can be said that up to now, in any competition in which Su Yu participated, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming have never seen a runner with a faster reaction than Su Yu at the start.
Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming also discussed Su Yu's starting reaction in private. They both felt that in the domestic arena, except for top players such as Zheng Tianxi and Zhan Youming who were in explosive form, it would be difficult for anyone to surpass Su Yu in terms of starting reaction.
In fact, Su Yu's performance did not disappoint anyone - after the starter gave the command "on your marks", the young man in the seventh lane calmly walked to the starting block, squatted on the starting block with his hands on the ground, and then, accompanied by the starter's command "ready", he supported himself with his hands on the ground, pushed his legs left forward and right back on the starting block, raised his buttocks, and his body had already shown a tendency to rush forward in the preparatory stage.
Then, at the sound of a bang, the eight contestants on the track responded almost simultaneously. However, a quick look at the reaction time data of all the contestants revealed that among these eight contestants, the one with the fastest reaction time was still the young man on lane seven - Su Yu!
For Gao Yansong, he knew how talented Su Yu was in the 200-meter event. His teammate Zhan Youming and his national team coach Zheng Sheng had privately repeatedly expressed their admiration for Su Yu's talent in this event.
Even he himself had personally experienced the threat from Su Yu in the team test match during the winter training phase - but for Gao Yansong, Su Yu was still too young an opponent, so during the pre-match warm-up phase, he would remind Su Yu to pay attention to his condition.
Even before the final started, he took a look at Su Yu's condition from a distance and felt that Su Yu's condition today was far less active than in the team's test match. Wasn't that not good?
However, as the referee's instructions sounded, he also focused his attention on the field in front of him and immersed himself in his own game. As a result, he did not notice that the young man, who seemed too calm before the game, shot out like an arrow on the curve at the moment the starting gun sounded.
0.127 sec.
A reaction speed as beautiful as always!
After seeing Su Yu's reaction speed, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming knew that Su Yu had almost won the game.
Of course, Su Yu is not the only player with outstanding reactions and performances in this competition.
Except for Su Yu on the seventh lane, Zhang Lei on the fourth lane, Gao Yansong on the fifth lane, and Li Qingci on the sixth lane all gave good performances in the starting burst stage. Although they were not as fast as Su Yu in starting reaction speed, they each had their own advantages!
Among them, Li Qingci is most praised for his cornering technique. His performance in the cornering start and cornering running stages has always been very beautiful. His outstanding performance in the cornering stage every time is a huge help for him in the 200-meter event, but at the same time, Li Qingci's performance in the straight section is often unsatisfactory.
Or to be more precise, Li Qingci's physical ability in the second half after running the curve is very unsatisfactory. Every time, whether his 200-meter result can break 21 seconds is basically related to his ability and state in the second half.
Once his condition collapses in the second half, it often means that he will not be able to achieve a result under 21 seconds.
As for Li Qingci, he certainly knows his problems in this area. Therefore, during the winter training period after the 2017 season, Li Qingci's coaching team focused on improving his physical fitness based on his situation.
Judging from Li Qingci's performance in the men's 200m preliminaries last night, his physical training during winter training should have had some effect, but the specific effect will depend on his subsequent performance.
As for the starting stage on the curve, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming still praised Li Qingci highly.
"Li Qingci on lane 6 performed just as well on the curve as always!"
"However, compared to Li Qingci's outstanding performance in the previous curves, Su Yu on the seventh track can be said to be on par with him in this curve!"
Just as Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming said, in the cornering part, the newly emerged Su Yu is no worse than Li Qingci's performance. What's more, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming have a vague feeling that "in terms of the accuracy of cornering technology, Su Yu is better than Li Qingci."
Li Qingci has strong explosive power and control ability. What he is best at is quick start and burst on the curve. With his unique advantage of starting burst on the curve, he can lead his opponents by a large margin in the starting burst stage.
But Su Yu's advantage in cornering lies in the fact that his explosive acceleration process at the start is basically consistent with the entire cornering process. With the end of the cornering stage, he gradually enters his maximum speed stage. Coupled with his strong back-end ability, it can be said that the 200-meter switch between corners and straights is completely within the comfort zone of Su Yu's segmentation ability and explosive rhythm.
These two people both have outstanding cornering techniques, but their personal abilities focus on different aspects. In the initial stage of the race, Li Qingci's performance is definitely better than Su Yu's, but if we only talk about their techniques, they are on par with each other. In the later stages, the advantage goes back to Su Yu.
At this moment in the competition, in the first 50 meters, it was obvious that Li Qingci was the most advantageous player among all the players. Even Gao Yansong in the fifth lane was no match for Li Qingci in the initial stage of the race.
Zhang Lei in the fourth lane was obviously inferior to Li Qingci and Su Yu in cornering ability. Just like in the preliminaries the day before, Zhang Lei stumbled in the corners, which was closely related to his personal cornering ability and performance.
Although his personal ability is excellent, enough for him to adjust and correct his mistakes in the subsequent races, this cannot cover up his technical deficiencies in the cornering stage.
Obviously, Zhang Lei was in good shape in this final. At the same time, compared with yesterday's preliminaries, Zhang Lei was obviously more cautious. This prevented him from making the same mistakes as yesterday, such as stumbling in the corners. But perhaps it was precisely because of this tightness that his performance was not as smooth as yesterday.
At this moment, as the starting gun sounded, the commentator's voice, which had turned into a hoarse voice, sounded again over the Z City Sports Center Stadium.
“The game begins!”
"The current leader is Li Qingci from Province G in lane 6!!!"
At the scene, the majority of the spectators who were able to attend the game were local track and field fans from Province G. When their local athlete Li Qingci performed well and took the lead, cheers and cheers from the scene also rang out at the same time.
"Come on! Li Qingci! Come on!!!"
Amid the loud shouts of "Come on Li Qingci!" there were of course cheers from other contestants' supporters, but compared to Li Qingci who had the advantage of playing at home, the other voices were still a little weaker.
For the players on the field, the atmosphere of the audience and the cheers of the supporters in the stands also have an impact on the athletes' condition. This is why they are known as the "home advantage".
The loud cheers from the home crowd often boost the players' competitive state, allowing them to be in better shape in the game.
At this time, Li Qingci on the track was quite interesting. With the cheers from the audience, he became more and more excited as he ran, and his speed on the curves became faster and faster, like an arrow shot out in an arc, flying all the way on the curves.
In the live commentary room of Jigu Video, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming were also slightly surprised after seeing Li Qingci's performance.
Tian Ruhui was the first to praise: "Li Qingci is in excellent condition today!"
Zhou Jiming also nodded in agreement: "If Li Qingci can maintain his performance in the second half of today, then there is a high chance that he can easily break the 21-second mark."
What Zhou Jiming said was an easy start, which meant that as long as Li Qingci didn't collapse in the second half, he would basically be able to finish within 21 seconds.
The two of them didn't say it too clearly, but the track and field fans basically understood what he meant. However, unlike the atmosphere where most of the audience were cheering for Li Qingci, at this time in the Jigu live broadcast room, the public screen was full of voices cheering for Su Yu.
These bystanders are basically pure passers-by who don't know much about track and field events. They were attracted here because of Su Yu, Jiang Yuan and Zhou Yuang, and now of course they are all nervously cheering for Su Yu!
While they were cheering for Su Yu, they heard the voices cheering for Li Qingci, as well as the commentary from Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming. They couldn't help but feel nervous and worried about Su Yu's performance - how would Su Yu perform in this final? He was very strong in the preliminaries, but isn't he used to the finals?
At this moment, the audience in the live broadcast room heard Tian Ruhui sigh, "The current atmosphere on the scene is not very friendly to other players," and they immediately became more nervous.
Not very friendly?
Who are you unfriendly to?
To Su Yu? !
In fact, to be honest, the concerns of these spectators are not unreasonable. Just as Tian Ruhui said, in this kind of home atmosphere, the cheers from the scene are not so pleasant to other players, especially for some young players who lack experience. Other people’s home court may be their battlefield of death.
But up to now, many people have not realized that Su Yu's performance and condition are very different from other players.
Before the game started, Gao Yansong felt that Su Yu seemed a little too calm.
In fact, until the start of the game, Su Yu always maintained this "too calm" state. He could feel that his condition for today's final was slightly better than that for the preliminaries the day before, but it was indeed only "slightly better", nothing more.
Su Yu had originally thought that since he couldn't find his form in the preliminaries, perhaps his form in the finals would be better. But as the finals were about to begin, Su Yu found that he really couldn't find the form he had in the 100-meter final.
However, this situation, which was somewhat of a blow to other players, did not have much impact on him.
The previous preliminaries have proved that a calm state helps him to accurately control his limbs and every step and movement in running.
Just like his acceleration on the curve at this moment, including the inward angle of his body and every swing of his arms and pedaling movement - even the cheers from the scene could not affect his judgment of the current state.
Each of his steps was precisely in line with the speed and rhythm set in his mind, and each swing of his arms helped him to move forward on the curve.
One step, two steps, three steps...
Although in everyone's opinion, because of the presence of Li Qingci and players like Gao Yansong on the field, his speed performance on the corners seems to be inferior to Li Qingci and Gao Yansong, but if you compare Su Yu's performance in the final stage with his cornering performance in the preliminaries, you can find that Su Yu showed amazing consistency on the corners.
——Nothing around him seemed to affect him.
Whether it was the strong opponents or the noisy cheers from the scene, these were all excluded. Su Yu on the track seemed to have his own space, in which he could only hear his own breathing, footsteps and heartbeat.
Plop, plop, plop.
As he ran, the sound of his heartbeat gradually overlapped with his breathing and the sound of his footsteps, and as he unknowingly entered this highly integrated state of rhythm again, Su Yu could feel that each step he took seemed a little easier than before...!
The first person to discover Su Yu's condition was Li Qingci on the sixth path.
In today's game, Li Qingci's performance in the cornering stage was almost impeccable, but as he got closer to the end of the corner, Li Qingci could clearly feel his physical strength quickly draining away.
He knows his problems on the straights, and he did a lot of training on this problem during the winter training. In today's home race, Li Qingci hopes to rely on his home advantage and the cheers of the audience to boost his condition and maintain his condition more firmly in the second half.
This plan was going quite smoothly until the end of the curve. Su Yu, who had been approached and even surpassed by him at the curve, gradually stabilized in the seventh lane and even caught up with him and started to keep pace with him... ? !
Su Yu's overtaking was something Li Qingci had never expected. When he felt Su Yu approaching and even running side by side with him and even seemed to be overtaking him, Li Qingci, who had been in a stable state in the corners, lost his rhythm...!
At this moment, the track and field fans who had become fans of Su Yu during the past two days of competition suddenly burst into amazing screams and cheers.
"Ahhh! Su Yu!!!"
"Come on Su Yu!!!"
These track and field fans had not originally thought that Su Yu would be able to achieve any good results in this final. After all, Su Yu was only a 15-year-old teenager, and yesterday's 200m preliminaries was also his first 200m appearance in his professional career.
Even though Su Yu has proven his strength in the 100m event, the 200m is different from the 100m, especially with famous athletes such as Gao Yansong, Li Qingci and Zhang Lei on the field. These track and field fans originally only expected Su Yu to withstand the pressure of competing with these famous athletes and give as good a performance as possible.
Therefore, even though Li Qingci had a clear advantage in the previous curve stage, and even when Li Qingci surpassed Su Yu in the curve part, these new track and field fans of Su Yu were not too disappointed. They were just expecting Su Yu to get a relatively good result in this game.
But what they didn't expect was that Su Yu, who seemed to be lagging behind Li Qingci in the curve stage, actually gradually stabilized his speed as the race entered the final stage of the curve - or in other words, it was not that Su Yu gradually stabilized his speed, but that he was accelerating normally on the curve, and finally gradually entered his maximum speed stage...!
As Su Yu entered his maximum speed stage, Li Qingci's speed slowed down at the end of the curve. Li Qingci, who originally had the leading advantage, and Su Yu were separated by a gap of only a moment.
reverse!
This sudden reversal of the offensive made the Su Yu fans at the scene feel their scalps tingle for a moment, and then they screamed on the spot!
"Ahhh! Su Yu!!!"
Fanatical screams began to rise in the audience seats, and with Su Yu's sudden "counterattack", Li Qingci might not be mentally prepared, or his original disadvantage in the second half had an impact, so that his rhythm was suddenly disrupted. He wanted to readjust his state to catch up with Su Yu again, but in one go, although Li Qingci sped up briefly, his rhythm was soon completely disrupted by his sudden speed increase.
In the live commentary room of Jigu Video, Zhou Jiming sighed helplessly after seeing Li Qingci's performance: "No, Li Qingci's mentality is messed up."
Obviously, Su Yu's outburst and overtaking were completely beyond Li Qingci's expectations. If only Gao Yansong surpassed him at the end of the curve, Li Qingci might not have been so flustered, but it was not only Gao Yansong, but also Su Yu!
After realizing this, Li Qingci's mentality was the first to become confused. Once his mentality was confused, his physical energy distribution and rhythm were completely messed up, and his disadvantage in the later stages of the past competitions was completely highlighted.
At the same time, although Zhang Lei in the fourth lane seemed to have a tight schedule ahead, his condition improved at this stage. At this point, Li Qingci, who originally had an absolute advantage in the curve part of the race, suddenly fell from the first position to the fourth position.
At this time on the track, Gao Yansong occupied the leading position at the front, followed closely by Su Yu in the seventh lane!
In the audience, Su Yu's fans were already screaming loudly, and the commentator with a hoarse voice changed sides the moment he saw Su Yu coming from behind, and started screaming for Su Yu -
"Second place!!! Su Yu, a 15-year-old player from the S Province Sports Team!!"
"Su Yu has come to the second place!!!"
"We are still 30 meters away from the finish line!!! Come on Su Yu, Su Yu!!!"
"20 meters!! 10 meters!!!"
When Gao Yansong once again crossed the finish line first with an absolute advantage, Su Yu in the seventh lane also quickly crossed the finish line of the 200-meter final amid the frantic screams of the audience!
"Su Yu!!!"
During the live broadcast, some anchors with hoarse voices began to loudly announce:
"The runner-up in the men's 200m final is Su Yu, a player from the S Province Sports Team!!!"
