Chapter 142 (Four in One)
At this time, 8 contestants from different countries have already taken their positions on the field. Among them, Cameron Ewers and Demeko Borrell from the American team are the strongest among all the contestants in this competition on paper.
Among these two, Cameron Ewers' personal best is 9.69 seconds, and Demeko Borrell's personal best is 9.78 seconds. In terms of PB, these two American athletes can be said to be the best in the field.
But if we look at the current individual status of the athletes, if Cameron Ewers was in the top 12 of the season rankings last season and has maintained a good state since the start of this season, then Demeke Borrell's personal best last season was only 10.05 seconds, and his ranking was stuck at 40th in the world.
This is not just a normal fluctuation in performance. It is simply because Demeco Borrell is already a 32-year-old veteran and has reached the end of his career. Since this season, the veteran who once dominated the Diamond League has lost the qualification to continue to register for the Diamond League. At the same time, during this season, his results have always hovered outside 10.10 seconds, and there has been no obvious improvement so far.
Of course, this makes Demeco Borrell seem old and frail, but with his ability to still run under 10.20 seconds this season, only Zheng Tianxi, Feng Chuming and Su Yu in China have a chance to beat him.
In addition to these two players from the American team, Su Yu's remaining five opponents are Ippei Suzuki from Japan, Andre Williams from Jamaica, Gavin Kovalchuk from Canada, Ben Cisse from Côte d'Ivoire and Emile Erasmus from South Africa.
Among the remaining five players, Andre Williams from Jamaica is the young athlete who just broke the 10-second mark in the 100-meter race this season, as cited by track and field fans on the Internet. Even now, Andre standing on the field is full of high morale. Facing the warm cheers from the Japanese audience, he patted his chest - it is obvious that this young athlete from Jamaica is very confident in his condition this season, and he wants to use his current excellent condition to achieve better results in the field.
Completely different from Andre's flamboyant and confident state is Ippei Suzuki from Japan.
His expression was extremely calm, and this calmness clearly revealed his nervousness and caution.
This famous athlete from Japan has had his personal best stuck at 10.00 seconds for too long. In the men's 100m final of the Asian Games last season, Suzuki Ichihiro thought he had a chance to break the 10-second mark in the 100m, but in that final, the final result was that China's Zheng Tianxi broke the Asian record with a score of 9.90 seconds, while he once again won the bronze medal by equaling his PB by ten seconds.
No matter how unwilling he was, Suzuki Ippei could not change the fact that made him extremely painful.
From 10 seconds to a world of less than 10 seconds, this is just a difference of 0.01 seconds, and he has been sprinting for 5 years.
From a talented young athlete who once created the world's best U18 results to now entering the end of the golden period of his career, Ippei Suzuki hopes that he can once again break the shackles of the ten-second barrier and take the lead in leading Japanese sprinters into the world of sub-ten-second 100-meter runs.
He also hopes that he can break his limits on the field again, and hopes that before next year's Tokyo Olympics, he can achieve better results in his own country's field and qualify for the Tokyo Olympic finals.
At this time, in the arena of his own country, Ippei Suzuki hopes to use the golden lineup of this IAAF Challenge to stimulate his condition and allow himself to perform better on the field.
…
Not only Suzuki Ippei and Andre, but among the remaining players on the field, although Cameron Ewers looked very relaxed, but with his absolutely top strength, even in such a relaxed state, it is entirely possible for him to break ten seconds and easily win first place.
The remaining players each have impressive strength, and even those who only treat this game as a practice match do not intend to let up too much - after all, if they let up too much, then it will be difficult for them to achieve the effect of "training through competition", and there will be no point in them coming all the way to Japan to participate in the competition.
***
In China, in the live commentary room of Jigu Video
After these contestants appeared on stage one by one, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming began to introduce the contestants in detail to the audience in the live broadcast room.
Knowing that there would be many bystanders in the live broadcast room who knew little about athletics, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming rarely used professional terms in their introductions. Instead, they tried to give a complete introduction to the strengths of these athletes in a simple and clear manner.
When introducing Su Yu, who was in the ninth lane in this game, even though Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming had spoken in a very relaxed tone before, when the game was really about to begin, the two teachers instinctively became restrained and cautious.
This was because from the second lane to the eighth lane, every player on the field had better results and strength than Su Yu. If they were asked to pat their chests and say, "Su Yu will definitely be able to break his personal best today," they would be unable to say it.
In the live broadcast room, the onlookers were puzzled by the sudden caution of the two commentators. However, after seeing the two teachers become cautious, the track and field fans in the live broadcast room seemed relieved.
[That’s great. Teacher Tian and Teacher Zhou will stop criticizing Su Yu. I feel much more relieved now. 】
[It is better for both teachers to maintain this explanation style so that we can adapt better. 】
The onlookers:?
Hmm... I really don't understand the train of thought of you track and field fans.
But it doesn’t matter, whether you understand it or not is not a big problem.
As Tian Ruhui and others finished introducing the players on the field, even ordinary spectators could already feel the tension and excitement of the upcoming competition.
Everyone was watching the live broadcast of the game in the broadcast room carefully, waiting for the madness that would theoretically last only ten seconds!
Plop, plop.
Even the audience who were not present at the scene could feel their heartbeats getting more and more intense.
On the contrary, Su Yu, who was on the ninth lane at the scene, listened to the boiling cheers and felt the enthusiasm of the Japanese audience, but his originally violent heartbeat seemed to have dissipated from his ears.
This is not to say that his fiery competitive state has dissipated. Instead, that strong desire for the game has now turned into boiling blood in his body, which begins to rush and roll wildly in his body with strong excitement and anticipation.
here we go.
It’s about to start!
The closer Su Yu got to the start of the game, the calmer his mind became, allowing him to feel the details of every part of his body more clearly.
Even his every breath seemed to be under his perfect control.
It was in this situation that the starter blew the whistle, and the originally enthusiastic audience in the audience seats of the Changjing Yangma Stadium instantly fell silent at the prompts of the on-site electronic screen and broadcast.
The huge stadium completed the transformation from crazy restlessness to extreme silence in an instant. It was also this instantaneous transition from extreme movement to extreme silence that brought an instant change in mentality and pressure to the eight male 100-meter contestants on the field at that time, as if the race was about to begin.
The starter on the scene did not give them much time to adjust to this emotional change. When the scene became quiet, the starter gave the first command: "Everyone, take your positions."
After hearing the command, the eight athletes on the field quickly went to their respective starting blocks.
Among them, Su Yu, who was in the ninth lane, leaned over and supported his hands on the ground. Then, his body did some stretching and relaxing movements while leaning over. Then, he stepped his feet on the front and rear pedals of his starting block respectively. No matter from whose angle you looked at it, he showed a very stretched and smooth posture.
There were probably quite a few Japanese fans of Su Yu at the scene. When they saw Su Yu's movements, they couldn't help but want to scream, but when they realized that the game was about to begin, they quickly covered their mouths to avoid affecting the players on the field with their screams.
On the track, Su Yu simply stepped on the front and rear pedals to make sure he was ready. Then he gently supported himself on the ground with his hands, knelt slightly on one knee, and lowered his head in front of the starting line, waiting for the next command.
In complete contrast to his calm state was the Jamaican teenager Andre Williams in lane eight.
Perhaps because of his strong form this season, or perhaps because he has an extroverted personality, the 21-year-old Jamaican youngster, even when he was already in position, he still looked up at his opponents around him after squatting on the starting blocks, and patted his chest again.
It is obvious that he has the confidence and ambition to win the upcoming game.
The player in the sixth lane was the famous American player Cameron. He and Demeke in the third lane were both very calm and did not show any concern for the crowd.
Highly enthusiastic and feel extra pressure.
On the contrary, it was Ippei Suzuki in the seventh lane. As the race was about to begin, his originally calm and cautious mentality began to become a little tense. From his body posture, it can be seen that he was a little nervous, and this nervousness was also reflected in his expression.
At this moment, he probably realized that such a tense state was not good, so he closed his eyes slightly, trying to readjust his state.
On the field, the eight players were in different states of preparation, but even through the live footage captured by the camera, one could feel the tense atmosphere of a battle about to break out, becoming increasingly intense.
"The game is about to start!"
In the live commentary room of Jigu Video, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming's voices also revealed caution.
They were also nervously waiting for the upcoming battle.
soon.
After confirming that all the contestants were in place, the official starter on site immediately gave the second command - "Ready".
In an instant, the eight contestants on the field spread their hands and palms out to support themselves on the ground in front of the starting line. Everyone slightly bent their front and back legs, raised their hips, and their bodies began to lean forward slightly at this moment!
The time is now!
At the moment when everyone was ready—bang!
The starting gun sounds and the race begins!
As the starting gun sounded, all the runners at the starting line of the 100-meter track quickly stepped on the starting blocks and started!
“The game has begun!!”
The rhythm of the 100-meter sprint final is completely different from that of the 200-meter and 400-meter finals. When the starting gun sounds, athletes with strong explosive power such as Cameron and Andre often jump forward more than ten meters before the audience can react, quickly completing the entire process from the start to the acceleration run.
In the live broadcast room of Jigu Video, Tian Ruhui stared at the field in front of him and quickly introduced the situation on the field: "Cameron of the American team is leading the way!"
His partner Zhou Jiming quickly looked at the starting reaction time data of the eight athletes at the same time. With years of experience and training, Tian Ruhui has formed a very natural reaction to reading this kind of data and can accurately read the data content at a glance.
When he took a quick look today, Zhou Jiming almost broke out in cold sweat on his forehead.
It’s not that Su Yu’s reaction speed in this game was too slow, but in this game, as many as half of the players had outstanding reaction speeds!
Among them, Cameron Ewers in the sixth lane had a starting reaction time of 0.129 seconds, the Jamaican teenager in the eighth lane next to Su Yu's lane even had a starting reaction time of 0.119 seconds, and the South African athlete Emil Erasmus in the fifth lane also had a starting reaction time of 0.132 seconds!
Compared with them, Su Yu's starting reaction time of 0.121 seconds is also very good, but this should be the first time that Su Yu lost to his opponent in the starting reaction time without slacking off.
Perhaps it should be said that this is a world-class league. Although Su Yu's reaction time at the start can still bring him certain advantages, this advantage is no longer absolute.
After realizing this possibility, Zhou Jiming became more and more nervous.
Before this, after hearing what Pei Dingshan said, "Su Yu is in good condition," he and Tian Ruhui expressed their confidence in Su Yu.
But it was after seeing these starting reaction data that Zhou Jiming suddenly remembered - let alone the Diamond League, even in the IAAF World Challenge, Zheng Tianxi could not guarantee that he would appear in the top four in every game.
This is a world-class league!
Perhaps it was because of the confidence that Su Yu had always brought to everyone that they actually forgot the specifications and difficulty of the IAAF Challenge.
Of course, in some matches, the contestants may all be second-rate international players, so such matches will appear relatively easier.
But this was clearly not the case in today's match.
In this race, Su Yu’s reaction speed at the start, which he was so proud of, was lost to Andre in the eighth lane. So what’s next… ? !
For a moment, Zhou Jiming was so nervous that he didn't dare to look at the field, but the game was still progressing rapidly!
***
On the court, Andre Williams in the eighth lane was just as confident as he had shown before the game. In this game, his condition was surprisingly good!
Not only was his reaction at the start almost at the limit, but after the initial pedaling, his explosiveness was in no way inferior to that of Cameron Ewers, the star of the American team in lane six.
And it's not just the starting burst stage. From the starting burst to the connecting acceleration run, Andre showed extremely strong explosiveness and enthusiasm. Every step he took was extremely strong and powerful. His body muscles bulged, and every swing of his arms coordinated with the rhythm of his hips, steps and landing. His body was stretched yet had a strong posture and speed like a cheetah.
This young player from Jamaica has extremely strong speed ability, and every step he takes forward is unstoppable!
“Amazing speed!”
"Andre, the Jamaican kid in lane 8, is almost on par with Cameron in lane 6!!"
The young player from Jamaica conveyed his desire to win this game with his strength and performance, as well as his confident attitude towards victory before the game.
In the sixth lane, Cameron from the American team was also seen trying hard to sprint, but compared to Andre's performance in the eighth lane, Cameron clearly did not put in all his strength.
At this time, due to Andre's positive attitude in the eighth lane, everyone's attention was drawn to the battle between Andre and Cameron, so that many people did not notice that the Japanese player Ippei Suzuki in the seventh lane made a slight mistake in the initial stage of the race.
Not only did Ippei Suzuki's reaction time at the start was only 0.152, but his body also shook slightly as he was quickly lifting himself up. This shaking undoubtedly indicated that he made a technical error at the start.
If the slow reaction speed at the start is not fatal, then this kind of body shaking will undoubtedly have a greater impact on Suzuki Ippei's entire 100-meter running process.
The reason why Ippei Suzuki made this technical mistake in the initial stage of the race was mainly because of Cameron, Andre and Su Yu on the track on his left and right sides.
As a player eager to win, Ippei Suzuki would of course do enough research on his opponents before the game. However, in his investigation, neither Cameron nor Andre was the type of player with particularly outstanding starting reaction, especially the Jamaican teenager Andre. He often relied on his strong explosive power and forward speed to improve his performance in the game. His previous starting reaction speed was usually beyond 0.150 seconds.
Cameron usually only gives his best reaction speed in big competitions.
Among him, the only one with an exceptional reaction speed was Su Yu on the ninth lane.
Therefore, Ippei Suzuki had no defense against the starting reactions of the two runners on his left and right lanes. As a result, when Cameron and Andre burst out with starting reactions that exceeded his expectations, Ippei Suzuki was completely caught off guard. He subconsciously thought that his reaction speed was too slow, and he was eager to catch up. As a result, his body posture subconsciously shifted its center of gravity when he stepped on the starting blocks and started. As a result, he couldn't help but have an uncontrollable slight stumble in the process of quickly lifting his body.
For a runner like Ippei Suzuki, whose limit is on the edge of 10 seconds, the stumbling mistake caused by his explosive start and acceleration phase was enough to declare his failure in breaking the 10-second mark in this race.
Suzuki Ippei had never expected that he would find himself in a dilemma of inevitable failure at just the opening stage. This huge pain enveloped him in an instant, causing his speed and initiative to slow down involuntarily.
In the live commentary room of Jigu Video, Tian Ruhui obviously noticed Suzuki Ippei's condition, but he simply said, "Japan's Suzuki Ippei made a mistake." Only the Japanese commentator on the scene was nervously paying attention to Suzuki Ippei's performance on the seventh lane.
"Suzuki! Ah, he staggered. It was a mistake that shouldn't have happened. Suzuki looked really bad. He was already behind many people... This was not the performance he should have had. This was such a regrettable match!"
But even the Japanese commentators on the scene did not focus all their attention on Ippei Suzuki. Their main attention was still on Andre and Cameron. At least in the first 60 meters of the race, everyone's attention was attracted by Andre who was advancing rapidly.
Until the game gradually entered the second half.
For explosive athletes in the early stages like Andre and Cameron, their maximum speed basically stops at between 60 and 70 meters. After that, their speed in the later stages will decline due to the intense consumption of physical energy in the early stages. But even so, because of the absolute advantage they created in the early stages, even if their speed declines in the last 30 or 40 meters, a large distance gap has already formed between them and their opponents. Therefore, it is difficult for opponents behind them to catch up with and surpass them, and it will even be very difficult to close the distance between them.
Although their speed has dropped slightly, it does not mean that the players behind them will be able to catch up with them in terms of speed.
Just like in today's game, Ippei Suzuki was originally a player with good mid- and late-game strength, but now he has no extra strength to catch up.
Demeko in the third lane is a late-game player, but his condition today was just average, and he obviously couldn't complete the task of a big burst in the final stage.
Even Emil Erasmus, the South African runner who had been in the third lane since the start, still had a certain distance between himself and Andre and Cameron in the fifth lane.
Basically, in this competition, it is difficult for any player to turn around and change his or her final ranking at this stage.
…
That's generally true.
If there was no Su Yu.
Although he did not attract the attention of his opponents in the ninth lane, if someone who is familiar with Su Yu observed his performance throughout the whole process, they would find that in this race, Su Yu's performance was actually very outstanding from the starting explosive stage to the acceleration stage and even the speed maintenance stage during the run.
Judging from Su Yu's own condition, his starting explosive phase had actually unleashed a very strong force relative to his own body.
But he is just a teenage athlete after all. Compared with his opponents, his body muscle circumference is obviously weaker. Rather than saying that his body is like a sprinter, it is better to say that his body is more like that of a middle- and long-distance runner.
He has a lean and powerful build, with visible muscles, but not as exaggerated as his opponents.
Given his physique, his explosive power cannot exceed that of opponents like Cameron and Andre, but this does not mean that his explosive power is weak.
In fact, considering his size and age, his physical explosiveness is already far beyond the average.
After exerting his strongest explosive power, Su Yu's starting burst and his acceleration were perfectly connected and smooth. Each of his arm swings was perfectly connected with his running posture. His body was full of elastic power and beauty. Every step he took seemed to allow him to draw feedback from the ground on the track, allowing him to accumulate more full strength, making his speed faster and more powerful little by little!
The reason why no one noticed his speed was purely because many of the players on the field were promising players, and each of these players had outstanding strength. In the early stage, this made Su Yu's performance seem so mediocre among these players.
Especially when Su Yu and Andre were in adjacent lanes, Su Yu's performance seemed not outstanding compared to the Jamaican young player.
At the scene, many Japanese and Chinese fans who came to watch Su Yu's game were cheering and screaming loudly after the game started. However, after seeing Su Yu's performance in the first half, some fans who usually didn't pay attention to the game hesitated...
Isn’t it said that Su Yu is extremely powerful?
Didn’t Su Yu say that he was full of confidence in this game?
Didn’t Su Yu want to challenge his own personal best in the 100-meter sprint in this game and break the world U18 record for the men’s 100-meter sprint?
But now he...
In the first half of the race, he seemed to be only ranked sixth... Oh, after fifty meters, he overtook his opponent and came in fifth place.
But fifth place seems pretty mediocre, right?
Some spectators who knew little about the competition looked at the scene hesitantly, but this hesitation only lasted for about one or two seconds. As the competition reached the 60-meter stage, continuous exclamations gradually began to erupt from the audience seats and the live broadcast room of Jigu Video!
“What the hell! What the hell!!”
In the audience, Zheng Minghan was a foreign student studying in Japan who came to watch the game. To be honest, he learned a lot about track and field events only after coming to Japan. This is mainly because Japan has a strong running culture, so he gradually became interested in events such as sprinting and marathons.
In recent years, Zheng Minghan has watched many IAAF Challenge and Diamond League competitions held in Japan, including Zheng Tianxi, Zhan Youming and others when they came to Japan to compete. He also watched a lot of them.
When watching Zheng Tianxi and his team's games, the rhythm of a normal game is usually very clear. Basically, from the early stages, advantages are advantages and disadvantages are disadvantages.
Anyway, Zheng Minghan felt that this was probably because he didn't watch enough games, so he didn't see any exciting performances like "comebacks".
but……
This all ends today.
That's right.
Just the game in front of him!
As an ordinary track and field fan who now has a certain understanding of sprinting, he has also been involved in the domestic track and field kingdom forum. He knows that domestic track and field fans are very worried about Su Yu's performance in today's game, fearing that his poor performance will cause a backlash in public opinion.
Zheng Minghan came to watch the competition because he originally thought that he had to support this natural star from his country no matter what, and let Su Yu know that no matter how he ran, there would still be people who would support him and look forward to his subsequent results.
As far as the early stages of the game were concerned, he originally thought that his expectation was not wrong.
He was still thinking about how to cheer louder next, but the situation on the field in front of him suddenly changed!
“Fuck!”
On the field, Su Yu, who was originally in sixth place, first started to speed up and overtook his opponents to move up to fifth place. Then his speed increase not only did not stop, but continued to change rapidly.
Not slowing down.
It’s just… getting faster and faster!
Zheng Minghan had also watched Su Yu's competition highlights. The speed of Su Yu in front of him... If Zheng Minghan himself were to say it, it would be close to the speed that Su Yu achieved in the second half of the 200 meters, which was like teleportation.
To put it in simple terms, you can't even see how he accelerated, but he has already surpassed his opponent and is in a further position!
It must be that Zheng Minghan was not the only one who noticed Su Yu's speed change. As he watched Su Yu's performance on the court and screamed "Wow!", Su Yu's Japanese fans at the scene also became obviously excited.
"Ahhh, Wolf Son!!"
“Come on, come on!!”
These Japanese fans of Su Yu seemed even more excited than Zheng Minghan. After seeing Su Yu burst out at an almost incredible speed on the track, the audience seats instantly became boiling.
Even the Japanese commentator at the scene screamed loudly at this moment——
"Wolf Son!!!"
"The Wolf Son has unleashed his savage power, and the claws of the young wolf king are already open!"
"Incredible speed, he is rapidly approaching the opponent in front!!!"
Su Yu, who was originally only in sixth place, quickly began to overtake a series of opponents in front of him when he reached the last 40 meters.
The first person he overtook was American player Demeke, who was originally in fifth place. Then, Canadian player Gavin Kovalchuk, who was in fourth place, was also replaced by Su Yu.
Amid the screams and exclamations of the contestants, in just the blink of an eye, Su Yu had already reached fourth place.
Then, there are only the last 20 meters left in the race!
"The last twenty meters!"
In the live commentary room of Jigu Video, the voices of Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming also suddenly became excited.
They didn't expect that even in a competition like today, Su Yu could still put in such a wonderful performance that was beyond people's imagination!
They soon realized that Su Yu was serious when he said he wanted to challenge his own personal best.
He said this seriously and he was practicing what he said seriously.
No matter how people discuss and evaluate him, no matter how much pressure he is under from public opinion, he just keeps moving forward, overcoming all obstacles and challenges amid everyone's expectations and doubts!
When thinking of this, Tian Ruhui and the others couldn't help but feel proud of Su Yu, but this pride was mixed with a strong sense of nervousness!
At this point, there are only the last 20 meters left on the field!
After Su Yu surpassed Gavin from Canada, still ahead of him were the three people who had been in the leading position since the beginning of this race. They were Cameron from the United States, Andre from Jamaica, and Emil from South Africa.
Among these three people, Cameron and Andre have an absolute advantage in the front, while there is only a gap of less than two body lengths between Su Yu and Emil.
But Emil's strength in the latter part of the race was also quite good. In this case, the last 20 meters...
Is it too short, not enough for Su Yu to overtake Emil in these twenty meters? !
Everyone's heart was hanging in the air at this moment.
come on!
Su Yu...come on!
Everyone was looking at the field in front of them nervously. On the fifth lane, Emil had already sensed the threat from the ninth lane.
The contestant from South Africa had never expected that even at the final stage, there would still be someone who could pose a threat to him, and the threat was so huge...!
Emile could already hear the excited screams of the audience in the audience seats, and these screams undoubtedly meant a miraculous performance...!
On the field, Emil was still running and sprinting as fast as he could. He wanted to use his faster speed to maintain his final advantage.
As for the ninth lane, in fact...Su Yu didn't care about Emile on the fifth lane.
All his attention was on the track in front of him... and on the Jamaican teenager Andre in lane eight.
Plop, plop.
It was the sound of a heartbeat. He could feel the harmony between his heartbeat and his every step and every breath.
In today's game, his mind remained extremely clear, and the excited emotions turned into blood flowing through his body.
Hurry up.
He wants it faster!
Each of his steps will perfectly receive the feedback force from the ground at a faster speed the moment it touches the ground, and then use this force to allow him to move forward faster and more powerfully.
One step, two steps, three steps...
As his strength accumulated and his speed increased, his speed finally gradually increased to his maximum speed stage. After his speed reached the peak, he entered the 'teleportation' state that shocked everyone.
Inhale, exhale, exhale, inhale...
The air he inhaled into his lungs while running violently seemed to be so cold that it could burn his trachea. His muscles were also feeling extremely sore and swollen from the long-lost all-out sprint on the 100-meter track.
The rapid accumulation of lactic acid brought a huge burden to his body, but it was also this huge burden and the slight muscle tingling that made Su Yu's state become more excited.
Hurry up.
Faster!
The unprecedented enthusiasm allowed Su Yu to achieve a breakthrough in speed in the last twenty meters!
"Su Yu...he's still speeding up!!!"
In the live broadcast room of Jigu Video, the voices of Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming had already torn their throats, but such excitement made them completely unable to suppress the tone of their voices at the moment.
The live broadcast room of Jigu Video has already been completely flooded with comments from track and field fans and spectators.
[Ahhhh, fuck, this is so exciting!] ! ! 】
[Help, help, help, come on Su Yu!] ! Su Yu rush! ! ! 】
【Go, go, go, go...】
[Help, I'm suffocating!] ! ! 】
All kinds of barrages, even simple emoticons, were swiped across the screen crazily by the audience. If it weren't for the half-screen barrage function on Jigu Video, the audience in the live broadcast room would have no chance of watching the game properly.
It was also in this tense and almost suffocating atmosphere that the game before us came to the final moment! ! !
"Su Yu!! He's catching up!!!"
"I caught up!! The last 10 meters... 5 meters... I crossed the finish line successfully!!!"
When everyone saw that Su Yu had increased his speed once again in the last twenty meters, almost everyone's brain exploded as if it had been blown up by magma. Everything seemed to be just a miraculous dream. All that remained in their minds was the enthusiastic cheers from the scene and the exciting and hot atmosphere that made their blood boil.
In the last 10 meters, the distance between Su Yu and Emil in the fifth lane was almost the same. In the last ten meters, Su Yu successfully overtook Emil, the South African player in the fifth lane, with an advantage of half a body length, leaving no suspense in this game.
victory!
A complete reversal victory!
So much so that after Emil in lane 5 successfully crossed the finish line, his face showed an incredible bewilderment. He looked back in astonishment in the direction of lane 9, but it turned out that the Chinese player in lane 9 had successfully surpassed him in the final stage...
He staggered a few steps with a pale face, then knelt on the ground... ? !
Emil looked at the guy kneeling on the track, who looked so weak that he seemed to be about to faint at any moment. He couldn't believe that he was defeated by such a Chinese player in the end.
He raised his hands and held his head in a daze, unable to believe the situation before him.
The crazy screams at the scene confirmed the reality of what he had experienced. The Japanese audiences were screaming loudly, and they all seemed to be shouting the name of the Chinese player at the same time...
If he heard correctly, it should be - Su Yu... ? And... Son of the Wolf?
At the front, Cameron and Andre, who crossed the finish line in first and second place, had no idea what was happening between their opponents behind them.
After successfully crossing the finish line in second place, Andre first waved his fist excitedly, then patted his chest to show that he was fulfilling his pre-race promise - You see, I said I would run well in this race!
But soon, Andre discovered that these cheers and screams did not seem to belong to him.
Who could that be?
Who are these people cheering for?
Could it be Cameron?
After turning his attention to Cameron, Andre found that some of the audience were indeed shouting Cameron's name enthusiastically, but more people were shouting the two pronunciations of "Son of the Wolf" and "Su Yu".
Son of the Wolf...
What is that?
Andre didn't know Japanese, so he naturally didn't understand what the Japanese pronunciation of "son of the wolf" meant, but he still understood the word "Su Yu", if he remembered correctly...
This seems to be the name of the Chinese player in the ninth lane to his right?
Thinking of this, a look of confusion appeared on Andre's face.
Why is there so much attention cheering for a Chinese player? If he remembered correctly, today should be Japan's home game, right? Shouldn't these spectators cheer for the Japanese team's players?
Of course, Andre soon got the answer from the game replay on the on-site electronic screen.
Ippei Suzuki from the Japanese team only got eighth place in today's match.
What a terrible ranking.
Andre scratched his head and understood part of the reason why the situation was happening - after all, if he were a spectator and saw the athletes from his country's team achieve such results, he would not give such athletes any sincere cheers or blessings.
only……
It is understandable not to cheer for Suzuki Ippei, but why should we cheer for the Chinese player in the ninth lane... Andre was still thinking about how he had just seen the Chinese player in the ninth lane look pale and about to faint.
For a moment, a ridiculous answer flashed through his mind: "Is this an encouragement to the Chinese team members?"
Soon, the large electronic screen in front of him once again told him the answer.
"Oh My God……"
When Andre saw how in the last 40 meters, Su Yu started from sixth place and moved forward, finally overtaking Emil in fifth lane in the last 10 meters and finally crossing the finish line, he was stunned.
"Does he know magic?!"
After taking a look at the electronic screen, Andre couldn't help but immediately turn his head to look in the direction of Su Yu who was surrounded by the Chinese team's staff.
He didn't even have the time to be proud of his performance. He was staring in amazement at the replay of the scene on the large electronic screen. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind - if the Chinese player was given another 50 meters, he would not be his opponent.
He suddenly understood why he saw Emil on the fifth lane with a look of shock and disbelief when he turned around just now.
To be honest, if I was surpassed by a player like this at the last crucial moment...
Oh, by the way, after crossing the finish line and seeing the other person so weak that he looked like he was about to faint at any moment...
Andre thought that he would probably be like Emil.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the Chinese team's Su Yu's career is not going very fast.
If he could have had an excellent forward speed, he would not have been able to maintain his second place in this race.
With this thought in mind, Andre breathed a sigh of relief.
On the ninth lane, Su Yu was helped up by the Chinese team's staff. After a short rest, his complexion gradually recovered. Although he still looked pale and weak, at least he didn't look like he was about to faint at any time.
In the live commentary room of Jigu Video, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming had just been re-commenting on Su Yu's performance based on the replays of two live games.
Seeing that Su Yu had already stood up, just when he was about to say something, he saw a picture flash on the electronic screen at the scene -
“The results are out!”
After seeing the scene in front of him, Tian Ruhui subconsciously shouted, and then saw that the electronic screen in front of him had switched to the final results of this game -
Final results of the men's 100m sprint final at the 2019 IAAF World Athletics Challenge in Osaka, Japan -
First place: Cameron Ewers (USA), 9.96 seconds (wind speed +1.0 m/s), SB (season best);
Second place: Andre Williams (Jamaica), 9.97 seconds (wind speed 1.0 m/s), PB (personal best);
Third place: Su Yu (China), 10.06 seconds (wind speed 1.0 m/s), WU18B (world U18 best result);
Fourth place: Emil Erasmus (South Africa), 10.07 seconds, PB;
…
When everyone saw the result clearly on the electronic screen, the cheers of the storm began again, overturning the stadium.
The commentator at the scene also screamed loudly——
"Congratulations to the Wolf Son from China, Su Yu! He has once again broken the world U18 best record in the men's 100m sprint!!!"
