Chapter 181 (Four in One)
20 seconds 12!
New WU18B!
At this time, in the forum of the Track and Field Kingdom, track and field fans who had watched the men's 200-meter event were already partying happily.
Topic: [WU18B sweeps the men's 100m and 200m sprints! How many more surprises can Su Yu bring us? ! 】
Topic content: [The miracles created by Yu Di are really too many. Friends, can anyone count how many records Yu Di has now? My head is a bit dizzy right now, and I feel like I can’t count anymore…】
1F: [(You’re welcome, the following is a copy and paste)
Su Yu, date of birth, October 24, 2003;
The following records are as of 8:15 a.m. on May 26, 2020, local time:
100m sprint personal best 10.02 (2019 Doha World Championships semi-final) (WU18B, AU20R, AU18B, NU16B, NU18B, NU20R);
200m personal best 20.12 (2020 IAAF Challenge Osaka, Japan) (WU18B, AU20R, AU18B, NU18B, NU20R);
400m personal best: 44.96 (2019 Doha World Championships semi-final) (AU18B, NU18B, NU20R, NR)]
3rd floor: [? ? ? 】
Floor 6: [Wow, I kneel down to the great man on floor 1. Where did you get this information? Is it so complete? 】
10th Floor: [Well, it was done by Su Yu’s fans. The people who did the data were a group of young girls, but the data was updated very timely. I just saw the question from the original poster, so I went to take a look, and sure enough, it was updated in the first time. 】
Floor 12: […It’s actually like this! 】
15th Floor: [Although I was shocked a long time ago, but looking back at it again, it is still quite shocking! This series of records...】
18th floor: [To be honest, Su Yu’s 100m record is really complete, and the 100m is the only event in which he has entered the World Championships finals so far, and he still has the qualification to participate in the 100m Diamond League this season - you know, Feng Chuming didn’t run under 10 seconds last season and is not in the top 20 in the world rankings, so he doesn’t have the qualification to participate in the Diamond League this season...
Even though Su Yu is so strong in the 100m, why do I always feel that his 100m is not that strong? 】
20th Floor: [Emm, friend on 18th floor, good question. Indeed, when it comes to Yu Di, I always feel that his 200m and 400m are stronger. But now that you say that, it turns out that his 100m is actually the strongest? 】
22nd Floor: [Maybe it’s because there are Captain Zheng and Feng Chuming ahead of him in the 100m. After all, they are both athletes who have broken the 10-second mark and are still active athletes. So I always feel that Yu Di’s 100m is not that amazing... In fact, when I think about it, the difference between Yu Di’s 10.02 and Feng Chuming’s 9.99 is really just a hair’s breadth. 】
25th floor: [I won’t talk about the 100-meter thing… I just finished reading the content copied by the big brother on the first floor, and my mother asked me why I was kneeling to browse the forum…]
28th floor: [To be honest, when I usually only watched individual events, I knew that Yudi was awesome, but after this series of data was presented, I realized that Yudi was really awesome...]
In the forum of the Track and Field Kingdom, these veteran track and field enthusiasts had never imagined that putting Su Yu's achievements together would create such a shocking effect.
When someone was putting together Su Yu's series of performance data, someone suddenly thought of a question - the WU18B for 100 meters and 200 meters have been obtained, what about the 400 meters?
36F: [Yes, what is the current WU18B for 400 meters? I remember that there seemed to be a discussion last season that Su Yu would have little chance of breaking Asia's 400m U20 record, but that was data for the U20 level, what about the U18? ! 】
39th Floor: [@36th Floor, please see the first floor, my friend. The U18 record of 400 meters has long been in the hands of Yu Di. The only question now is what is the WU18 record? 】
Floor 46: [Don’t worry, don’t worry. I went to the official website of the IAAF to check… There was something. What a coincidence, isn’t it? Friends, you probably don’t know what I found out…let me organize my words. 】
50th floor: [? ? ? 】
At this moment, the domestic Internet is celebrating Su Yu's 200m result and his sudden 200m WU18B. There are also many people who are simply celebrating in other posts on the Track and Field Kingdom forum.
But in this post by the original poster, the person on the 46th floor seemed to have discovered some new world. He said he wanted to organize his words and disappeared in the blink of an eye, almost making the other track and field fans in the post anxious.
But at least the person on the 46th floor did not stand up and appeared in the post as promised a few minutes later -
Floor 68: [Sorry, I am not familiar with the young American players, so I went to confirm that I had not recognized the wrong person.
Everyone look at this screenshot - when Su Yu first refreshed the WU18B in the men's 100m sprint, I took a special look at the WU18B data for 100m, 200m and 400m at that time, so I always remembered that the WU18B for 400m seemed to be over 45 seconds, so when Su Yu ran 44.96 last year, I thought that the WU18B for 400m should have been Su Yu's.
But after listening to what teachers Tian and Zhou said just now, I suddenly realized that something was wrong - the WU18B in the 400 meters is not Su Yu, at least not yet.
So I took a look and found that as of June last year, WU18B was still at 45.14 seconds, which was created in 1995. However, in June last year, the WU18B in the men's 400m sprint was broken by American teenager Elliott Williams.
Elliott ran a WU18B time of 44.84 last season.
Of course, something even more coincidental happened - if anyone has looked at the tournament list for the Osaka station in Japan, they would have discovered that one of the two American players participating in the competition is Elliott Williams.
:)
That is to say, friends! ! ! The excitement is coming! !
In the men's 400m sprint competition in an hour and a half, Su Yu will directly compete with the current holder of the world U18 best record in men's 400m!
By the way, this young player of the American team was born in 2002 and is 18 years old this year. He can no longer refresh his WU18B, but Su Yu still has a chance! ! ! 】
This person from the 46th floor who disappeared for a few minutes and then reappeared did drop a bombshell on everyone right after he appeared!
88th Floor: [Damn it! What kind of exciting world series is this? ! 400m U18 world record challenge? ! The battle between the old and new thrones? ! 】
No one expected that there would be such a coincidence in the world.
In fact, if someone had paid more attention to the competition roster and WU18B data before, it would not be difficult to know this situation before the game. But the problem is that before this game, most people were discussing Su Yu's competitive state and the national team's "unreasonable planning", so no one paid attention to what kind of players would be in this Osaka, Japan competition.
In other words, even if someone paid attention to the players in Osaka, Japan this time, no one thought that Su Yu had a chance to complete the challenge against Elliott Williams in this Osaka station.
But now it’s different. Su Yu’s performance in the men’s 200-meter sprint has made everyone full of confidence in Su Yu again!
Now, Su Yu has won the men's 200m WU18B, so is the men's 400m WU18B far away? !
***
On Weibo, someone forwarded the keywords in the track and field kingdom forum post to Weibo and directly created a new topic:
#Suyu Men's 400m Sprint WU18B Challenge#
As soon as this topic came out, the topic on Weibo, which was originally all track and field fans and passers-by who were celebrating Su Yu's 200-meter record-breaking event, shifted directly to the men's 400-meter event to be held in Osaka, Japan in about an hour and a half.
Give me a Hu Jianren: [Fuck, what does this screenshot mean? Does Su Yu still have a chance to break the 400-meter record today? ! 】
Brother Yizhi: […Fuck, to be honest, if this was said 20 minutes ago, I wouldn’t have believed it, but now, I don’t think it’s impossible? 】
I'm just passing by: [The current men's 400m WU18B athlete is here? In the same group with Su Yu? Is it such a coincidence? So if the new king and the old king were successfully rotated today, wouldn’t that be a dramatic perfection? ? 】
I have a wish: [Never mind, this script is so perfect, I believe it in advance! Ahhh, come on, Yudi! I can't wait to watch the 400-meter battle in a while! 】
…
***
At the domestic track and field national team training base, Su Yu went to Japan this time with several other national team athletes who were also going to Osaka to compete. Also accompanying them were three national team logistics staff members and a team doctor.
Among the coaching staff of the national team, including Pei Dingshan, Liu Qinlong, Zheng Sheng and others, no one went with them.
This is also normal. The coaches in the coaching staff have other work to deal with on a daily basis and will not accompany the players to every game.
This morning, because of the competition in Osaka, Japan, Zheng Sheng, Liu Qinlong and others are watching the live broadcast of the game together in the conference room.
They were originally a little worried about whether Su Yu would be affected by public opinion, but they didn't expect Su Yu to give them a trump card right at the beginning - the new WU18B!
When Zheng Sheng saw Su Yu's results, he jumped up from his chair on the spot and almost wanted to rush over to hug the TV and blow Su Yu a kiss from him.
After several coaches in the conference room expressed their admiration for Su Yu's stability, a staff member in charge of monitoring the direction of public opinion called Sun Gaoshu and explained the latest situation of this opponent that netizens had discovered on the Internet.
The staff at the public opinion supervision group are worried about whether it is convenient to allow this topic to continue to be exaggerated in this way, but to be honest, this topic has spread quite widely at this point, and it is not easy to suppress it even if they want to.
In the conference room, Sun Gaoshu and the others knew Su Yu's situation clearly. After hearing this question, they shook their heads and said, "It's okay. Let's leave it at that."
"Su Yu is in good shape today, so I don't have to worry too much about the 400 meters later."
The staff of the public opinion supervision group on the other end of the phone was also a little surprised after hearing this answer.
After all, the national team usually doesn't like any extreme public opinion, for fear that some uncontrollable consequences might occur accidentally.
But Sun Gaoshu just let this problem go so easily today.
So what does this mean...?
***
In the conference room, after hearing Sun Gaoshu's retelling, Liu Qinlong was so nervous that he was pacing around in the conference room.
Zheng Sheng, who was standing next to him, felt dizzy from his spinning and complained, "Liu Qinlong, can you be more steady?"
Liu Qinlong didn't bother to pay attention to him: "You're not the one who's nervous!"
He was nervous and muttered: "...Playing in the same game with Elliot is something I had not expected before seeing the list. But Xiaoyu is in good condition today, so it shouldn't be a big problem. I hope Xiaoyu can play normally in a while, play normally..."
On the side, Pei Dingshan, Su Yu's official training coach, sat there calmly. This state was very consistent with his name - as steady as a rock.
So much so that after seeing Pei Dingshan's stable state, Liu Qinlong couldn't help but calm down a little, and then tentatively asked Pei Dingshan: "Coach Pei, are you going to watch Xiaoyu's 400-meter race later...?"
Pei Dingshan said calmly and confidently: "As long as we perform normally, there won't be any problems."
And what is the big problem?
Liu Qinlong took out his phone and checked the current topics on the Internet -
#CanSuYu dominate the 100m, 200m and 400m WU18B? #
Liu Qinlong thought - as long as Su Yu performed normally, there would be no big problem!
***
At the same time, Su Yu, who was in Japan, was sitting in the backcourt lounge for a short rest.
The reason why it is called a short rest is that the interval between his 200m and 400m races today is only about an hour and a half. Excluding the time returning to the backcourt lounge after the game and the warm-up check-in time before the 400m race, his rest time between the two games is only about 1 hour.
Such a dense schedule is comparable to the "devil's schedule" that occasionally appears in the World Championships and the Olympics.
But for Su Yu, he felt that the current rhythm was just right.
After all, as he has had very few games recently, his body has accumulated enough energy and he can't wait to "get moving".
Although it is only the end of May and there is a 400-meter race coming up, he is already looking forward to the three races in June.
Sure enough, Pei Dingshan's 'straight hook fishing' was indeed a very effective way for him to adjust his state.
Now, because of sufficient physical reserves and a one-hour rest time between 200 meters and 400 meters, for Su Yu, running 200 meters before running 400 meters did not have the effect of "all the physical energy was consumed by 200 meters" as the audience worried before the game. On the contrary, the 200-meter race was more like a warm-up for him, making his physical condition more excited.
So much so that Su Yu is now closing his eyes to rest.
Because he needs to control his condition and avoid being over-excited before the game.
Fortunately, the players from the national team who went with him to Osaka, Japan were still competing on the field, so there were not many people in the locker room, and the staff also went out to give Su Yu some time to rest and calm down.
It was not until an hour later that staff from the Japanese organizers came and knocked on the door of the Chinese team's lounge.
"Contestant Su, you can get ready to warm up!"
After receiving the notification from the staff, Su Yu, who had gradually calmed down, nodded, turned around, picked up his sports bag and went to the warm-up venue.
This time in Osaka, Japan, the IAAF Challenge will have six foreign athletes participating in the men's 400m sprint event in addition to Japanese athletes Mirai Miyamoto and Hiroki Ishikawa.
In addition to Elliott Williams from the United States, another player, Travon Foster, had played against Su Yu during the season from June to August last season, but like Elliott, he failed to qualify for the US team in last season's World Championships.
In addition to the two players from the American team and Su Yu, the other three foreign athletes are 400m star Elvado Carpenter from Jamaica, Joshua Holder from Trinidad and Tobago, and naturalized athlete Simon Motara from Bahrain.
Although there were so many players warming up together, when Su Yu arrived at the warm-up venue carrying his bag, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
There was no way, after all, the young Chinese player in front of them had just broken the WU18B record for 200 meters in this arena an hour ago, and more importantly, he also held the WU18B record for the men's 100-meter sprint.
Even Elliot Williams, who has always been known as a talented sprinter in the United States, only has a WU18B record in the men's 400-meter sprint.
As a 400-meter sprinter, Elliot certainly knew that Su Yu also had strong strength in the 400-meter sprint.
Just like in the semi-finals of the World Championships last season, Su Yu ran a time of 44.96 seconds, which was only 0.12 seconds away from his WU18B record of 44.84 seconds.
At this time, Elliot was observing Su Yu carefully, and a strong sense of crisis had risen in his heart - he was worried that this madman from the Chinese team would run a better result in the 400-meter event that would begin later than in last year's World Championships.
In addition to Elliott, Japan's Miyamoto Mirai and Ishikawa Hiroki are also paying attention to Su Yu.
An hour ago, after Su Yu refreshed the 200m WU18B, their coach quickly became nervous.
Due to the existence of a series of athletes such as Su Yu, Zheng Tianxi, and Zhan Youming, the Japanese coaching staff has gradually learned to use China's Weibo, forums, and live broadcast platforms. They have begun to make some auxiliary inferences about the status of athletes such as Su Yu, Zheng Tianxi, and Zhan Youming based on the comments of Chinese netizens and track and field enthusiasts.
Today, Miyamoto Mirai's coach saw the topic "Su Yu challenges 400 meters WU18B" on China's Weibo.
It was after seeing this topic that Miyamoto's future coach realized that in today's seemingly ordinary 400-meter race, there might be a battle for the new and old thrones of the world's 400-meter U18 championship.
If it were simply a battle between the old and new thrones, and no Asian players were involved, this might not be a big deal for Japan.
But one of the participants in the "battle between the old and new thrones" is the Chinese player Su Yu, who has the title of "Son of the Wolf" and is already well-known to the audience in Japan.
Miyamoto Mirai and his team have never forgotten that their career goal is to break the 45-second mark and refresh the yellow race record of 44.77 seconds set by their predecessors.
But now, they are still stuck outside the 45-second mark, while the 17-year-old player of the Chinese team has already stepped into the 45-second mark one step ahead of time.
What if Su Yu really runs under 45 seconds again at the Yanmar Stadium in Osaka, Japan? !
In short, do your best!
Both Miyamoto Mirai and Ishikawa Hiroki understood that, at least in this game, they had to use all their strength to achieve the best result.
In the warm-up area in the backcourt, Su Yu also felt the attention from his opponents. He blinked, nodded to familiar or unfamiliar opponents, then clenched his fists. He felt a little impatient, but still calmed down and completed his complete warm-up process.
As Su Yu immersed himself in warm-up, the players on the scene looked at him silently, then took a deep breath and also immersed themselves in their own warm-up preparations.
Although this is just an ordinary IAAF Challenge, due to the presence of Su Yu, the tension between the athletes in the warm-up venue has been further enhanced. This tense and oppressive state is almost as good as that of higher-level competitions!
***
Japan time, 10:40 AM
At the Nagaike Yanmar Stadium in Osaka, Japan, eight contestants of the men's 400-meter sprint have arrived at the stadium.
"Here they come! The men's 400m runners!!"
When the official commentator at the competition site saw the 400-meter athletes coming on stage, he immediately introduced the eight athletes with great enthusiasm.
Unsurprisingly, when Su Yu was introduced, he received the warmest applause from the audience.
"He is the Wolf Son from China! Player Su Yu!!"
"The terrifying young demon king, the U18 world ruler of the 100m and 200m sprints!"
"Now, he will be competing in the 400-meter sprint. So far, he is only the second Asian to break the 45-second barrier!"
"So, can he create new miracles in today's game? Let us wait and see together!!!"
In the domestic Jigu video live broadcast room, viewers can choose between commentary by Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming, and can also choose live broadcast with original audio.
Some viewers who understand Japanese like to listen to Japan's exaggerated and immature commentary, so they deliberately switched to the original sound channel when Su Yu appeared. After listening to the original sound commentary, they switched back to the commentary of Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming.
At this moment, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming were also introducing Su Yu who had already appeared.
"Su Yu's lane in this race is the seventh lane, which is a pretty good lane. In previous races, Su Yu also ran very well in the seventh lane."
"So far, Su Yu's personal best in the 400m is 44.96 seconds, which is 0.06 seconds away from the Tokyo Olympic 400m standard."
"In an interview with the sports channel a few days ago, Su Yu's coach Pei Dingshan once said that Su Yu will try to break the Tokyo Olympic qualifying score of 44.90 seconds before June 29 - Coach Pei's statement should be regarded as trust and confidence in Su Yu's results and status.
Of course, even so, it is still a very difficult task to break 44.90 seconds before June 29. Hopefully, in later competitions, we can see Su Yu achieve a good result... let the audience see his current status in the 400-meter event, and make the audience more confident in his challenges in the next month! ”
puff.
_(:зゝ∠)_
The audience who had just switched back from the Japanese original sound channel couldn't help but burst out laughing after listening to the cautious commentary by Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming.
There is no way around it. The difference in commentary style between the Japanese version and the Chinese version is just too huge, so the "laughing effect" it brings is particularly hilarious.
Just as the commentators from both China and Japan had finished introducing the players on the field, the eight players on the field had already finished preparing in their respective lanes.
From the second lane to the ninth lane, the players are Bahrain's Simon Motara, Japan's Miyamoto Mirai, American player Traven, Japanese player Hiroki Ishikawa, Jamaican star Elvado Carpenter, Su Yu and American talented young player Elliott Williams. Finally, in the ninth lane is Trinidad and Tobago's Joshua Holder.
On the track, the eight athletes have already adjusted the angles of their starting blocks and are standing behind the starting blocks waiting for the 400-meter race to begin.
A competition that was not originally worthy of much attention, but after Su Yu's 200-meter race, all the players present restrained their originally relaxed attitudes and turned to pay attention and seriousness to this competition.
For a moment, although the game had not yet begun, the smell of gunpowder between the players had already filled the air.
In China, in the live broadcast room of Jigu Video, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming naturally noticed the state of the contestants towards each other.
"It seems that the athletes present here attach great importance to today's 400-meter race."
After all, if we look at it from the past, in the IAAF Challenge, the athletes will not try too hard - just like Pei Dingshan has to control and adjust Su Yu's condition, the other athletes are also adjusting their conditions very carefully to avoid having their competitive state exhausted prematurely when the real competition comes.
Just look at the last men's 200m race, where Carson Stokes only ran 20.02 seconds with a 1-meter tailwind.
But now in the arena, these 8 athletes seem to have completely abandoned the "unspoken rules" of this IAAF Challenge. The tense state on their faces makes them look as if they are ready to challenge their best results at any time - especially the Japanese stars Miyamoto Mirai and Ishikawa Hiroki in the third and fifth lanes, their states are particularly serious.
While Tian Ruhui and his team were observing the competition field, the starter on site quickly gave the first command - take your positions.
Soon, the eight athletes on the field quickly walked to their respective starting blocks and squatted on the starting blocks with their hands on the ground.
With the first command and the completion of the players' preparations, the tension between the players on the field has reached its peak.
The audience in the audience seats had already quieted down and held their breath. After the starter confirmed that the contestants were ready, he quickly gave the second command.
"preparation!"
"Bang!"
The second command from the starter and the sound of the starting gun came one after another, and in just a moment, as the starting gun sounded, the eight runners on the scene stepped on the starting blocks at the same time and started!
“The game has begun!!”
In the domestic Jigu video live broadcast room, Tian Ruhui looked nervously at Su Yu on the seventh lane - as expected, Su Yu on the seventh lane showed the same quick reaction and strong explosive power in the 400-meter race as he did in the starting phase of the 200-meter race.
His arms, which were originally supporting the ground, quickly started to swing quickly at the moment of pushing off, and his body's overall movements were smoothly and perfectly connected from the moment he started pushing off.
From the shots taken from the rear angle, it can be seen that Su Yu's stride frequency in the starting stage is very fast. This high-speed push-off and explosive power in the front stage provide him with a strong starting force, and also give Su Yu many advantages in the front stage compared to the past.
In lane eight, the talented youngster Elliott from the US team also performed well at the start.
Perhaps because of his vigilance against Su Yu, Elliott almost contributed the best starting performance of his career in today's game.
But in the third lane, Miyamoto Mirai, who also put 1,000% of his attention into this race, had a bad start.
It may not be clear through the live broadcast, but coach Miyamoto Mirai who was watching the game on the spot saw that Miyamoto Mirai had a bad pause in the first step of the start. It was after this pause that he regained his strength and accelerated.
This is a very basic starting error situation. The most likely reason for this starting error is that the position and angle of the starting block are not adjusted properly.
This is a mistake that a mature player like Miyamoto Mirai should never make.
There is no doubt that this is also because of the pressure brought to him by being on the same field with Su Yu.
For the 400-meter race, the performance in the starting burst stage does not have as much impact on the overall performance data as the 100-meter race, but if you want to pursue the limit of your performance in a race, then Miyamoto Mirai's current performance is obviously not up to standard.
His coach's face darkened after seeing Miyamoto Mirai's performance. So now, for the Japanese team, the only thing that is barely consolation is that Hiroki Ishikawa also showed very good condition in the starting stage!
At this moment in the stadium, from the moment the race started, Su Yu, who had tried his best to control himself for a long time, had a refreshing feeling of releasing his physical state the moment he heard the starting gun!
Step on the starting blocks and start!
Quickly push and stretch to accelerate and swing your arms to quickly lift your body from a low position, and then quickly enter the curve!
From the explosive acceleration at the start to entering the curve, Su Yu quickly switched his body's center of gravity and every step.
Each of his arm swings was also controlled to cut inwards in a regular manner, and as he ran, his body drew a perfect arc along the inner edge of the track!
Every step and every stride that came into contact with the ground perfectly brought the feedback force from the ground back into his body.
For a 400-meter sprint, the start and acceleration phases are only part of the race. In the following process, the elastic strength of the ankles and body will ensure that the athlete's body can effectively use his or her strength and skills to the greatest extent.
Su Yu's talent for physical elasticity and strength had already been recognized and verified by Pei Dingshan during the initial summer camp period.
At this moment in the field, he ran a perfect arc in the first bend, and then when entering the second 100-meter stage, Su Yu increased his speed without hesitation.
Since his starting acceleration efficiency in the first 100-meter stage was improved compared to the past, his acceleration in the second 100-meter straight section was also much easier than before.
This ease even gave people the illusion that he was running a 200-meter race.
The Japanese commentator at the scene was already exclaiming in amazement when he saw Su Yu's performance in the second 100-meter stage.
Because from the commentator's perspective, Su Yu's speed improvement in the second 100-meter stage was almost the fastest on the field!
Among the other players, the only one who can be on par with Su Yu at this stage is probably the Jamaican star Elvado Carpenter in lane six.
The famous athlete from Jamaica was also very surprised by Su Yu's performance. During the previous warm-up stage, Elvado Carpenter might be the only player who was not so nervous about Su Yu's performance.
After all, Elvado had defeated this young player from the Chinese team in the semi-finals of last season's World Championships.
As a 400m runner with a time of 43.88 seconds, for Elvado Carpenter, this race was like the previous 200m race for Carson Stokes.
This is just a practice match.
But as the game began, Elvado clearly felt the pressure from the young Chinese player in the seventh lane.
Not only Su Yu, but also Elliott Williams of the American team in the eighth lane.
The pressure from these two young players made Elvado gradually become serious, and he also put all his effort into accelerating in the second 100-meter stage.
But even so, Elvado could clearly feel that the distance between him and Su Yu had not been effectively shortened.
This discovery shocked Elvado - he knew, of course, that the young Chinese player's personal best was 44.96 seconds at last season's World Championships.
But judging from his current performance, Elvado is sure that the little guy from the Chinese team will definitely achieve a result of more than 44.96 seconds!
This is a very competitive and talented athlete - the most terrifying thing is that he seems to be a well-rounded athlete with no weaknesses in the 100m, 200m and 400m.
On the field, Su Yu's performance in the second 100-meter stage shocked Elvado.
At the same time, Elliot on the eighth path had clearly felt the threat posed by Su Yu.
Elliot had some understanding of Su Yu. As a professional athlete, he certainly watched the 400m event of last year's World Championships, and also paid attention to this opponent who was only one year younger than him.
Elliot knew that Su Yu had excellent back-end ability, but the front-end speed that Su Yu showed in today's game brought him tremendous pressure.
Chasing by Su Yu, Elliot had to speed up his pace in the second 100-meter stage so that he could barely maintain the distance between him and Su Yu.
But while he was forced to increase his speed, Elliot already knew in his heart that he had lost.
Under pressure from Su Yu, he adjusted his overall rhythm. Although he could barely maintain the rhythm of competition with Su Yu at this stage, this would inevitably affect his physical condition in the third and fourth 100-meter stages.
But Elliot knew even more that he could not be completely surpassed by the guy from the Chinese team at this stage - otherwise, he might lose even more miserably in the later stages of the game.
***
As the game progressed, the cheers from the audience in the stands became more and more intense.
"Come on, come on!! Come on, Ishikawa!!!"
“Ahhh, Contestant Su!! Wolf Son!!!”
Among the spectators who came to watch the game, many were also Su Yu's Japanese fans. In addition to banners of Hiroki Ishikawa and Mirai Miyamoto, there were also many banners of Su Yu in the audience seats.
When the camera on the scene swept across the audience seats, even the viewers of Jigu Video hesitated for a moment - was this the Nagaike Yanmar Stadium in Osaka, Japan, or the Chinese team's home stadium in Suyu?
Of course, this hesitation was only for a moment, and the audience soon turned their attention to the live game.
On the field, Su Yu seemed to be getting more and more relaxed as he ran. Every step, arm swing and even his breathing seemed to be highly unified. Although he was running at high speed on the field, from the audience's perspective, there was not even a hint of effort, as if he still had strength left in him and could display an even more amazing speed in the next game.
As if to confirm the audience's guess, after a slight slowdown on the bend in the third 100-meter stage, the 400-meter race had entered the final 100-meter stage!
"Second place!! Su Yu is still in second place!"
“Very good condition!!”
In the live commentary room of Jigu Video, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming knew from the last 200-meter race that Su Yu was in excellent condition at this stage, but they still did not expect that after the last 200-meter race, only less than an hour and a half of rest and adjustment, in this 400-meter race, Su Yu could once again give such a level of performance!
At this time in the arena, the Jamaican athlete Elvado in the sixth lane adjusted his condition and went all out since the second 100-meter stage. At this time, he was in the first position, with a gap of about four or five meters between him and Su Yu.
This gap of four or five meters represents the gap in strength between Su Yu and a player who has the ability to break the 44-second mark - at this moment, such a distance is already very amazing!
“Come on!!! The last 80 meters!!”
Whether it is Tian Ruhui or Zhou Jiming, they both clearly know Su Yu's speed ability in the final stage. They believe that even between him and Elvado, Su Yu still has the ability to close the distance with Elvado at this stage.
The scene on the field at this moment seemed to be a replay of the final moments of the men's 400m semi-finals of the 2019 Doha World Championships last year.
In the eighth lane, Elliott from the American team was also trying his best to chase Su Yu - just as Elliott expected, although he barely maintained his position in the second 100-meter stage, his physical energy was greatly consumed in the third 100-meter stage. In the second bend, he slowed down significantly, but Su Yu still maintained his complete rhythm in this stage.
At this moment in the arena, Elliot was not the only one chasing Su Yu.
In the fifth lane, Hiroki Ishikawa was also sprinting with all his might. His position at this time was close to Elliot, and they were both competing for the third place behind Su Yu.
While Hiroki Ishikawa and Elliott were competing for the third place, Su Yu on the field had reached the final 50 meters!
Plop, plop.
On the field, Su Yu, who had reached the last 50 meters, could clearly feel the fatigue of his body. Whether it was his arms or his legs, the effect of lactic acid accumulation would not spare anyone.
But physical fatigue could not offset his mental excitement - faster, faster!
In his mind, the desire for the final sprint was rising violently, and he could still feel the feedback from the ground with every step he took.
Although his body was already very tired, each of his movements still maintained a high degree of stability, and his touchdowns were still quick and effective. With every step he took touching the ground, everyone could see that he was moving faster and faster towards the finish line...!
"Su Yu is speeding up!!"
“The last 30 meters!!”
"The distance between Su Yu and Elvado is still getting closer!!"
“The last 20 meters!!”
“The last 10 meters!!!”
"Second place!!! Congratulations to Su Yu!!!"
When Elvado successfully crossed the finish line, he saw out of the corner of his eye that the young Chinese player in the seventh lane behind him on the right had crossed the finish line not far behind him.
Just a little bit!
This scary guy...!
Since the new season, Elvado has been in good shape. He is actively preparing for the Tokyo Olympics in Japan. This time he came to Japan to compete with the idea of experiencing the Japanese environment in advance.
But until the start of this game, he had not thought that he would be able to run in this game with a serious state that was not inferior to that in the semi-finals of the World Championships.
It's all because of this little guy from the Chinese team.
When Elvado crossed the finish line, he slowed down for a while and gradually stopped, then looked back at Su Yu who was in the seventh lane.
This young Chinese player who successfully crossed the finish line did not look in great shape.
Even Elliot, who lost to Su Yu, was shocked when he saw Su Yu gasping for breath after crossing the finish line.
"Hey, you okay?"
Elliot looked at Su Yu nervously. At this time, the staff of the Chinese team had rushed up to ask about Su Yu's situation.
Compared with the situation after the previous 200-meter race, Su Yu's condition after this race was obviously much more exhausted.
Fortunately, Su Yu now seems to be just in a bad condition, and his pale face is quite alarming, but actually his condition is not as serious as it looks.
After the staff helped Su Yu rest for a while, Su Yu's condition gradually recovered.
In the domestic Jigu video live broadcast room, track and field fans were excited and ecstatic for a while after Su Yu successfully crossed the finish line, but when they saw Su Yu's terrible face, the public screen barrage still showed worry for a while.
However, after Su Yu recovered from this worry, the style of the comments on the public screen changed strangely again -
[Friends, does anyone still remember the world famous paintings series? 】
[Weak Su Yu cares about you gif]
【Lifelong Strong Ye Minghao gif】
After these three comments, the public screen was immediately greeted by a burst of rude "Hahahahahahahahaha".
Somewhere in the country, someone who was also watching the game, after seeing the two gifs on the public screen, silently withdrew his hand that was originally intended to ask about Su Yu's status in the group.
At the Yanmar Stadium in Japan, Su Yu, who had finally adjusted his condition, thanked Elliot and Elvado for their concern. Just as Elliot was about to say something, a picture flashed on the electronic screen at the scene - the final result of this game came out!
Before Su Yu could see the results clearly on the big screen, cheers and screams broke out in the audience, and the shouts of "Su Yu" and "Son of Wolf" had already spread throughout the entire stadium at this moment.
The electronic screen at the scene clearly displayed:
First place: Elvado Carpenter (Jamaica), 44.77 seconds, SB (season best);
Second place: Su Yu (China), 44.81 seconds, WU18B (world U18 best result);
Third place: Elliot Williams (USA), 44.90, SB;
Fourth place: Hiroki Ishikawa (Japan), 44.99 seconds, PB (personal best);
Fifth place: …
When Su Yu's result appeared, in the live commentary room of the domestic Jigu Video, even veteran commentators like Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming were frozen in place for a moment.
Tian Ruhui opened his mouth several times to say something, but he didn't know what to say at this moment to express his excitement...
They knew that Su Yu was in good shape today.
They also knew that Su Yu must have made considerable improvement during the winter training, which is why Pei Dingshan said so confidently that Su Yu would strive to qualify for the 400m for the Tokyo Olympics within the last month.
They also know...
They knew too much, but no matter how much they knew, they could not have predicted that Su Yu would break two individual WU18B records in one fell swoop at today's ordinary IAAF Challenge in Osaka, Japan.
From this moment on...
The world U18 best record holders in 100m, 200m and 400m have all changed their names to Su Yu - and Su Yu belongs to China.
At this moment, the high-pitched voice of the Japanese official commentator spread throughout the stadium:
"Su from China!! He is the undisputed world champion in the world sprint U18 category!!"
The author has something to say:
0.0 Today I saw a young athlete born in 2006 break the national record of 400 meters in China
_(:зゝ∠)_ Last year, she also broke the domestic 400m outdoor U18 record
His result today is also the first in Asia U20 this season (← indoor version)← Although this sad kid has a birthday at the end of May and is not yet 18 years old, due to the regulations of the IAAF, the full-year results in 2024 cannot be counted as U18 records, but only U20
Deep in thought, in fact, Su Xiaoyu is in almost the same situation. I think a little angel asked this before, so I'll explain it by the way.
