Chapter 187
The live broadcast after the game was not long, less than ten minutes in total. After Su Yu answered this question, the entire interview ended.
After the photography teacher stopped filming, Su Yu also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although there were three autistic players being interviewed at the same time, it was still a little difficult for them to adapt when facing the camera.
When Su Yu was in a daze, Zheng Tianxi and Feng Chuming beside him patted him on the shoulders.
Su Yu was stunned for a moment and then looked at the two of them. Although Zheng Tianxi and Feng Chuming didn't say anything, Su Yu understood what they meant.
Although Zheng Tianxi and Feng Chuming are not good at speaking, and the interview between Liu Yu and Lin Weixiong before Su Yu was interviewed was very awkward for a while, the tacit understanding between Su Yu and the two of them was quite good.
This is probably the "soul resonance" between people.
After the interview, Liu Yu put away his interview equipment and hugged Su Yu, Feng Chuming and Zheng Tianxi again.
"Congratulations!"
Liu Yu's face was full of smiles. As a reporter who witnessed the event in person, he was really excited.
The three preliminary rounds were connected, and the players from the three Chinese teams took turns to appear on the stage, and they qualified for the semi-finals one after another!
For a reporter like Liu Yu who is already passionate about track and field events, this feeling is the most enjoyable and satisfying way to watch the game!
After thanking Liu Yu for his congratulations, Su Yu and the others did not stay any longer and quickly returned to the backcourt lounge.
Before they officially go back to rest, they have to go to the urine test room to complete the post-match urine test before they can go back to the lounge to rest.
Of course, Liu Yu would not affect Su Yu and the others' post-match arrangements at this time. After watching them leave, he looked at their backs and remembered the inheritance that Su Yu had just mentioned.
When he was listening to Su Yu's words just now, his heart was quite moved. When he looked at the backs of Su Yu and the others as they left, that feeling of being moved turned into full of emotion that burst out in his heart.
Subconsciously, Liu Yu asked the photography teacher beside him to take a picture of the backs of Su Yu and the other three.
After several consecutive matches and interviews, it was already around 8:30 p.m. Japan time. The headlights at the competition venue made the entire stadium bright and shiny, and there were no blind spots in the press pit leading to the backcourt. However, Su Yu and the others, who were about to enter the backcourt passage, were facing away from the noisy crowd.
This is a quiet moment for the athletes after coming down from the hot and boiling arena - and the three figures in front of us are the three towering peaks of China's 100-meter sprint.
***
That evening, Liu Yu posted this photo on his personal Weibo.
Track and field reporter Liu Yu: [(Back view picture jpg) It is mutual trust and the best inheritance. 】
Although Liu Yu's account is just his personal account, it is well-known in the track and field circle.
After seeing Liu Yu’s latest Weibo post, track and field fans subconsciously clicked in to take a look, and then were stunned when they saw this photo that only showed his back.
In the photo, Zheng Tianxi, Feng Chuming and Su Yu are heading to the backcourt. Because they are at the entrance of the passage, there is a clear boundary between light and dark in the picture. The three seem to be talking to each other without much expression, but one can see the relaxed state and atmosphere between the three.
[…Ah, this photo, how should I put it, I feel like my heart has suddenly calmed down. It’s not that I feel it’s boring, but I just have a feeling of… ‘Ah, this is so good’! 】
[Ahhh, Emperor Yu! The live interview with Yu Di tonight was so cool, really great! 】
[It is trust, inheritance, and continuation for the future! We had been worried that after Captain Zheng and Feng Chuming retired, the national team would have a lack of successors in the 100m. However, Su Yu really put everyone at ease with his performance in today's race!
China's men's 100m has really been carried up! 】
【yes! I was also wondering before, why do we have to rush like this in the preliminaries? After all, Su Yu's schedule is really too tight, and the preliminaries shouldn't consume so much physical energy.
But after listening to his live interview, I felt that his sprint in the preliminaries today was indeed the best time!
Team Zheng advanced successfully, Feng Chuming also advanced successfully, and Su Yu successfully completed the breakthrough - both the new and old Chinese men's 100m athletes had their best performances in this preliminaries, and everything is at its best! 】
Many track and field fans were actually feeling both excited and regretful during last season's World Championships, but now, these feelings of regret seem to have been completely filled.
Chinese athletics is in its prime!
***
After returning to the backcourt lounge, there were already several coaches and staff members waiting in the Chinese team's lounge, especially Liu Qinlong. After seeing Su Yu, he waved at him vigorously: "Xiao Yu, hurry up!"
Liu Qinlong waved his hand and muttered, "As for your schedule for tomorrow, why don't you hurry to the backcourt lounge after the game?"
As he spoke, Liu Qinlong opened another door of the lounge. In that small room, the liquid nitrogen cryotherapy chamber that the Chinese team had spent a huge amount of money to transport to Tokyo, Japan was already in place, and the staff had already completed the debugging of the liquid nitrogen cryotherapy chamber.
Liu Qinlong quickly handed Su Yu the gloves he needed to wear to enter the cold material bin, and asked him to take off his competition suit. After he was ready, he sent him directly into the cold material bin.
After turning around and seeing Zheng Tianxi and Feng Chuming, Liu Qinlong waved to them, indicating that they should wait for a moment as they would be the next to go up.
Zheng Tianxi and Feng Chuming could fully understand this order. After all, for the three of them, Su Yu would be the one who would feel the most pressure in tomorrow's competition.
Not to mention whether Su Yu can successfully advance to the finals in the men's 100-meter sprint semi-finals tomorrow night, it means that in tomorrow's morning game, Su Yu will have to participate in a men's 400-meter sprint preliminaries.
This is probably the only good news - tomorrow Su Yu's 400m and 100m races will be held in the morning and evening respectively.
The men's 400m sprint preliminaries will start at 10:45am Japan time, while the men's 100m sprint semifinals will start at 7:15pm.
There is plenty of rest time in between.
But thinking of this, Zheng Tianxi looked at Su Yu who was trapped in the liquid nitrogen cryotherapy chamber, and felt that it made sense for the national team to spend a lot of money to bring the liquid nitrogen cryotherapy chamber to Tokyo this time.
After all, even though they knew that Su Yu's body had a strong ability to recover, in such an intensive schedule, auxiliary equipment such as a liquid nitrogen cryotherapy chamber that could help players quickly relax their muscles and recover their physical strength was also essential.
Soon, 30 seconds passed in the blink of an eye. Even Su Yu, who usually had no expression on his face, frowned, and his face was wrinkled like a little bun. After coming out, Liu Qinlong put a coat on him, but he was obviously still very cold.
After relaxing and resting for a while, it was his turn to go to the massage team to see Dr. Liao Yongming for another massage.
After he finishes the massage, he has to put on compression pants at night to further relieve muscle fatigue and assist muscle recovery.
Although Zheng Tianxi and Feng Chuming did not say much after the liquid nitrogen cryotherapy, they have already felt the tremendous changes in the series of advanced scientific research and medical auxiliary work and equipment in the national team.
Not to mention the situation in the distant past, the national team's scientific research and medical assistance to the sprint group has achieved a leap forward compared to the Rio Olympics four years ago.
Part of this is the result of the efforts of the current national scientific research team staff, and part of it is the result of the efforts made by Pei Dingshan when he returned from overseas.
Although there is still a certain gap between the overall training level in China and that in foreign countries, the Chinese team is constantly working hard to improve.
Looking at the orderly staff in the backcourt lounge, although Zheng Tianxi and Feng Chuming still had ferocious looks on their faces, people who were familiar with them could see that they were now exceptionally peaceful.
It starts with returning to the backfield lounge, then entering the liquid nitrogen cryotherapy chamber, coming out for a massage, and then changing into compression pants.
After Su Yu finished this series of post-match adjustments, it was almost 9:30 in the evening.
In tonight's schedule, the Chinese team's players have all finished their games. After putting on compression pants and casually putting on shorts, a T-shirt and the Chinese team's jacket, Su Yu can finally sit aside and play quietly for a while.
Just now while he was having a massage, he could see messages popping up on his phone screen, but Dr. Liao wouldn't let him lie down and play with his phone while having a massage, so it was only now that he had time to check what was being said in the group.
First, there was the family group shared by their family and Jiang Yuan’s family. His parents, Uncle Jiang, and Aunt Chen were all in the group celebrating his 100-meter time of less than 10 minutes.
The only problem is, the way they celebrated was by posting a long string of '小島泰酷辣gif' memes.
Su Yu:.
Since you can't resist, just accept the reality - this is what Su Yu learned in the family group, so he silently opened his own emoticon album and posted an emoticon package of 'Xiao Yu holding flowers thank you gif' in the group.
Then, he saw that in his group of teachers, his senior brothers and sisters, including his teacher Professor Wang, were unusually active.
Senior Sister: [It’s over. Junior brother has broken 10 in the 100-meter race. The day when he can come back to study hard is just a little further away. 】
Senior Brother: [It’s over. Junior brother has broken 10 in the 100-meter race. The day when he can come back to experience the beauty of mathematics is just a little further away. 】
Su Yu:.
Although the senior brothers and sisters were spreading these dirty words, Su Yu felt that he could roughly translate what the senior brothers and sisters said - it's over, the junior brother has broken 10 in the 100-meter race, and the day when he comes back to be ravaged by us is a little further away.
_(:зゝ∠)_
Yes, it is that direct and that straightforward.
Their teacher, Professor Wang, was even more straightforward in his comments in the group: [Xiaoyu is doing very well. Xiaoxia, Xiaolin, you seniors, remember to pay close attention to Xiaoyu's academic progress and don't let him fall behind. 】
After saying this, Su Yu seemed to see a huge "pawn" popping up on the heads of his senior brothers and sisters, but they still had smiles full of the flavor of office workers in the group: [Okay, boss, don't worry, boss. 】
Su Yu blinked silently and decided not to appear in the sect group for the time being, otherwise he might be subject to some unexpected "life threats".
As for Zhao Bowen and his classmates in the class group, they were all cheering and congratulating him.
Seeing these classmates from the university, Su Yu naturally thought of his classmates from No. 12 Middle School.
Although everyone graduated from the junior high school of No. 12 Middle School, except for him and Jiang Yuan who transferred to City B, most of the classmates are still in No. 12 Middle School, so the group has not been disbanded.
It’s just that the class group is on QQ, and he seldom opens QQ, so he rarely sees class group information.
As a result, when Su Yu just clicked into the group, he saw a series of photos taken from the actual perspective in the group.
Seeing these photos taken from the live perspective, Su Yu was stunned for a moment - were there any classmates in the class who came to watch the game in person?
After he looked at it carefully, he realized that Zhong Wen and other classmates who had supported him at the World Youth Championship had also come to Tokyo, Japan in the past two days and had just watched his game together.
Su Yu was just about to say thank you in the group when he saw someone in the group asking Zhong Wen and the others whether they had contacted him.
Zhong Wen: [No, the top students and the genius students are going to compete, why would we disturb them at this time? Just watch the game! Ahhhhhhhh, let me tell you, it's really cool to watch the academic god's 100-meter race live! 】
After hearing Zhong Wen's answer, everyone in the group felt that it made sense, so they all gave up on the question and started screaming together.
After seeing the chat content of Zhong Wen and the others, Su Yu hesitated for a moment and still did not say anything in the group. Instead, he opened Weibo, edited a message and sent it out.
Su Yu V: [Thank you everyone, thank you to everyone who cheered for me in front of the TV, computer, and mobile phone, as well as everyone who came to the scene. 】
It was a very simple sentence, with no added topics, pictures or other content, just a simple thank you.
Looking at this sentence on his Weibo, Su Yu thought about it, then posted it to his circle of friends, and finally switched the chat window back to the group he and Zhou Yuang were in.
It was obvious that the group had been going crazy for a while. Before he clicked on it, the message prompt in the group was 999+.
When Su Yu clicked on it, he was already able to skillfully find the unclaimed red envelopes in the group. In the past, the red envelope rain in the group at the end of each game was already excessive, but tonight's red envelope rain made Su Yu feel what was truly excessive - the length of the information on unclaimed red envelopes was so long that he even needed to turn the page.
After being stunned for a while, Su Yu slowly clicked on these lucky red envelopes - congratulations, Zhou Yuang was not the only one who was ranked last among these lucky red envelopes. It seemed that Yuangzi's record of 'eight consecutive last places' had been broken.
After Su Yu received a string of red envelopes, he saw that the last red envelope in the group was sent by Zhou Yuang. However, the theme was not to celebrate his 100-meter time of less than 10 seconds, but to celebrate the fact that he had opened an MVP red envelope in the group tonight.
Su Yu: ...0.0 As expected, Angzi’s train of thought is very difficult to understand.
When he clicked on the latest red envelope, he was not surprised to see that Zhou Yuang was ranked last again.
Su Yu was silent for two seconds, exited the red envelope receiving interface, and swiped forward to see the message. He just saw Angzi boasting that his luck had started to change, and then he proudly sent a celebratory red envelope.
The next second, joy turns to sorrow, and I am ranked last.
Su Yu blinked, and started clicking the emoticon package "Xiao Yu thanks the boss gif" in the group according to the number of red envelopes he had just received.
When he received his first red packet, everyone in the group noticed that he was online, and when he sent out a series of "Thank you boss gifs", the group also started sending out various congratulatory emoticons.
Only Zhou Yuang was still complaining sadly: [@苏渚, Su Xiaoyu, you have no heart, you are just an emotionless thank you boss machine! You didn't even say thank you to your boss! 】
Su Yu: [@周宇昂, thank you boss gif]
Zhou Yuang: [. 】
Everyone in the group laughed out loud at the conversation between Su Yu and Zhou Yuang. After a series of laughter, considering Zhou Yuang's psychological endurance, everyone changed the topic.
Ye Minghao: [Have you recovered from the massage? Ready to head back to the Olympic Village? 】
After Ye Minghao raised this question, everyone's attention was finally diverted.
Su Yu’s fingers typed quickly: [Not yet, will be back around 10 o’clock. 】
After seeing Su Yu's answer, everyone in the group was a little worried, because the Olympic Village and Tokyo's Olympic Stadium are about an hour's drive away. By the time Su Yu returns to the Olympic Village, it should be almost half past eleven.
It’s such a late rest time, as Su Yu still has a 400-meter preliminaries tomorrow morning!
Su Yu knew what everyone in the group was worried about, so he said: [It’s okay, don’t worry, I should have no problem in the 400-meter preliminaries tomorrow morning. 】
After seeing Su Yu's answer, everyone in the group sighed.
If Su Yu only had the 400m preliminaries in the morning tomorrow, then they really wouldn't be too nervous, but in addition to the 400m preliminaries, Su Yu also has a 100m semi-final in the evening.
If he performs well enough in the semi-final tomorrow night, there might be a 100m final waiting for him...
In this case, how could they not worry about Su Yu's rest time and physical fitness?
However, Su Yu was originally in a major competition environment like the Olympics, so everyone in the group did not dare to say more at this time to avoid adding unnecessary psychological burden to Su Yu.
Finally, Jiang Yuan popped up: [^^It’s a little late, remember to go to bed early when you get to the dormitory at night. 】
Su Yu knew that everyone in the group cared about him, so he replied seriously with an "OK".
***
Of course, it wasn't just the people in his group who were concerned about Su Yu's rest. Just when Su Yu was chatting with everyone in the group on his mobile phone, the door of the lounge was knocked open and Pei Dingshan came in.
After seeing that Su Yu was ready, he rubbed Su Yu's head and picked up Su Yu's sports bag.
Pei Dingshan: "Have you rested? Let's go."
Su Yu was stunned for a moment: "Aren't you going to wait for everyone?"
Pei Dingshan glanced at him and said, "No, I have someone arrange a car. You have a 400m preliminaries tomorrow morning. If you don't return early now, after the women's 100m final and the awards ceremony, there will be too many people outside the venue, and it will take even longer to get back to the Olympic Village."
In the lounge, Liu Qinlong hadn't thought about this at first, but after hearing Pei Dingshan's arrangement, he immediately jumped up: "Yes, yes, yes, Coach Pei, you are right, hurry up and take the person away first!"
In the past, when the national team staff arranged the athletes' travel, they planned it together for all the personnel. After all, in the track and field team for so many years, only Su Yu had such an explosively dense schedule.
Therefore, some omissions are inevitable when arranging round-trip travel.
After hearing Pei Dingshan's words, the staff in the lounge slapped their heads, and then watched Pei Dingshan take Su Yu away, and then said to Liu Qinlong in annoyance: "Coach Liu, I must remember to pay attention to Su Yu's schedule next time."
Liu Qinlong saw the annoyed look on the staff member beside him and waved his hand: "It's okay, Xiaoyu's schedule is indeed quite special, I didn't think about it for a while, it's nothing."
The staff member looked at Pei Dingshan and Su Yu leaving with annoyance, and said with emotion: "Coach Pei is so considerate."
Liu Qinlong turned his head to look at the direction where Su Yu and Pei Dingshan had disappeared, and said with a smile: "It's better to be more careful. If it wasn't for Coach Pei's carefulness, our national team would not have been able to pick up Su Yu, this precious gem!"
The story about Pei Dingshan insisting on training and observing in the grassroots teams first, and then picking up Su Yu and Jiang Yuan from the S Province Sports Team, has now become a well-known legend in the national team.
In fact, it’s not just the national team!
Nowadays, in track and field teams all over the country, everyone praises Coach Pei for his keen eye for talent. The story of Su Yu and Pei Dingshan is almost becoming a new allusion of the modern-day Bole and his steed.
Because everyone knew that Su Yu was in very poor physical condition before he really started training, many coaches became alert and no longer made judgments based solely on the physical condition of the tryout players. Instead, they made the final assessment based on the results of physical tests and various biochemical tests after blood draws.
It can be said that Su Yu and Pei Dingshan, a pair of "modern Bole and Qianlima", have now become the pioneers in the innovation of the selection method of national track and field events.
***
On the other side, Pei Dingshan took Su Yu in a car back to the Olympic Village. Because they avoided the peak period, the journey was smooth. When they arrived at the dormitory in the Olympic Village, it was just after 10:30 in the evening.
It was so late, Pei Dingshan didn't say anything more to Su Yu. He just told him to go to bed early and sent him to the bathroom to wash up.
After Su Yu came out of the bathroom after washing up, he felt a little sleepy. Fortunately, the person in the double room with him was Zhan Youming, who did not go to watch the game in person, so he did not have to wait until 11:30 to come back.
Before Su Yu washed up, Zhan Youming, who had very good self-disciplined habits, had also finished washing up. When Su Yu came back from washing up, Zhan Youming sat at the head of the bed and waved to him with a smile. After simply saying good night, the two turned off the lights in the room, lay down on the bed and fell asleep quietly.
Pei Dingshan was in the single room next door. After seeing the lights in Su Yu's room go out, he glanced at the time - 10:50.
fine.
If the bus returns according to the original schedule, after Su Yu returns to the dormitory and washes up, the time he actually falls asleep may be close to 12 o'clock.
For athletes, the best way to recover is deep sleep. If we follow the previous schedule, plus the 400m preliminaries will start at 10:45 tomorrow morning...
Although it will not affect Su Yu's competitive state in the preliminary stage tomorrow morning, it will definitely have an impact on Su Yu's complete state during the Olympics.
While Pei Dingshan was calculating in his mind the factors that might affect Su Yu's high-intensity schedule in the next three days, he glanced at the APP prompt on his mobile phone - the child in the room had fallen asleep.
Seeing this reminder, Pei Dingshan smiled bitterly and shook his head, feeling that his slightly anxious heart was finally at ease. He also wondered if his concern for Su Yu was a bit too much.
Maybe it’s because this is the first player that I discovered and brought up myself.
Moreover, Su Yu is indeed a very serious and hard-working player. He has watched Su Yu grow from the initial breathless state to where he is now, and has poured so much attention and affection into him. Such concern seems understandable.
After shaking his head, Pei Dingshan returned to the living room with his notebook and began to quickly organize and review the data on the simple small table in the room.
In tonight's 100-meter preliminaries, Su Yu was clearly unable to suppress his excitement... But now it's the Olympics, and the national team's logistics support team is doing their best to support the athletes' performance, so the impact on their physical fitness may not be too serious.
While thinking, Pei Dingshan quickly began to adjust the data model and various calculated curve tables on the computer.
At half past eleven, when he heard footsteps approaching, he nodded to Zheng Tianxi and others who came in. Before Zheng Tianxi and others came back, Pei Dingshan had already instructed several people on WeChat to act quietly.
There is no way. In order to comply with the environmental protection definition of the Tokyo Olympics, the walls of the houses in the Olympic Village are made of cardboard, and the sound insulation effect is almost zero.
Athletes may be able to adapt to cardboard beds, but it is quite uncomfortable to be able to hear the snoring of the next door neighbor when sleeping at night.
Fortunately, the people in the sprint group had no problems sleeping, so they were not unable to fall asleep because of the noise caused by the roommates next door.
People like Zheng Tianxi and Feng Chuming, knowing that Su Yu had fallen asleep, of course understood better the impact of a good quality sleep on the physical fitness of the players.
The two of them, along with an interpreter, tried to keep their footsteps as quiet as possible when they came back. Soon, everyone in the entire suite, including the room where Zhou Yuang and Gao Tianwu were, fell asleep quietly.
Finally, night fell and everyone had a good night's sleep.
***
When Su Yu woke up the next morning, it was already 6:30 in the morning.
He deliberately slept a little longer, but the next morning game was at 10:45. In order to ensure that his condition was not affected by the digestion of food, he had to finish the breakfast planned for him by the nutritionist as soon as possible.
When Su Yu got up, Pei Dingshan had also gotten up. After waiting for him to finish washing up, Pei Dingshan rarely looked at the time and asked Su Yu, "Let's go for breakfast?"
Although Su Yu was a little surprised, he still nodded and followed Pei Dingshan out the door.
Since the entire Olympic Village is quite large, the walking time is quite long, but fortunately the restaurant in the Olympic Village is not too far from the dormitory.
On the way to the restaurant together, Pei Dingshan asked Su Yu a few simple questions, and when Su Yu was answering, Pei Dingshan noticed that Su Yu seemed to be looking at him for some reason.
Pei Dingshan turned his head and glanced at Su Yu, and asked him with a smile: "What's wrong? What are you looking at?"
Su Yu blinked, refused to speak, and pretended nothing had happened.
Pei Dingshan didn't force him to say it, he just raised his hand and rubbed Su Yu's head, then continued to take Su Yu towards the cafeteria.
After Pei Dingshan rubbed his head, Su Yu obediently followed Pei Dingshan.
As for what he didn't say - it was just some meaningless clichés.
Su Yu really wanted to know whether Pei Dingshan had really evolved his sleep ability? No matter when or where, Pei Dingshan always sleeps later than him and gets up earlier than him.
Is this the schedule humans should have?
From childhood to adulthood, he needed a good rest because of his poor health when he was young. Later, after he became a professional athlete, due to the physical exertion of athlete training, he also needed a lot of sleep and rest to ensure his physical condition.
To the extent that Su Yu could not imagine Pei Dingshan's "inhuman lifestyle" at all.
However, he didn't have time to think about this question for too long, as Pei Dingshan had already brought him to the Olympic catering center.
If you were to say what the biggest advantage of coming to Japan to compete is, it would probably be that Japan’s eating habits are similar to China’s, right?
After Su Yu prepared his breakfast according to the nutritionist's instructions, Pei Dingshan had also finished and returned to the dining table with a cup of black coffee, a simple sandwich and some fruit.
Looking at the black coffee in front of Pei Dingshan, Su Yu looked at the milk in his own cup again. Finally, he frowned and looked at Pei Dingshan who was about to sit down.
Su Yu suddenly asked Pei Dingshan curiously, "Coach, when did you start drinking coffee?"
Pei Dingshan was stunned for a moment, and after a brief recollection, he said, "About fifteen or sixteen years old."
He was exposed to coffee at a very early age, which was probably related to his self-abandonment during that period. At that time, his goal was not to become a coach, but to become an excellent sprinter.
But unfortunately, he was accidentally injured during that period. The injury was not serious, but it had a huge impact on his career, and he eventually had to choose to retire.
Few people know about this past event now. It was at that stage that he was forced to change the path of his life and work hard to become an excellent coach.
Su Yu originally asked this question when he saw Pei Dingshan's coffee, height and the milk in his hand, but after Pei Dingshan answered with a faint smile, he lost the urge to complain for some reason.
Pei Dingshan looked at Su Yu, who looked a little tangled, and asked with a smile: "How is it? Are you confident in the 400 meters this morning?"
Su Yu ate the breakfast in his hand, drank a sip of milk, and then nodded.
He had already seen the opponents in the 400-meter group prepared for him by Pei Dingshan. Although the group he was in could be called a death group, the difficulty of advancing in the 400-meter was lower than that in the 100-meter.
This does not mean that the average strength of 400m runners is worse than that of 100m runners, but because there are only 6 groups with 48 runners in the 400m, while there are 7 groups with 56 runners in the 100m preliminaries.
There are 24 qualifying places for the three individual events of the 100m, 200m and 400m sprints. Given the same number of qualifying places but different numbers of preliminaries athletes, it is naturally easier to qualify for the 400m event.
Pei Dingshan glanced at Su Yu, smiled slightly, said "hmm", and continued drinking his coffee.
***
Domestic time, 9:00 a.m. on August 1
At this time, it is very close to the start time of the last individual 400m preliminaries on the morning of the third schedule of the Tokyo Olympic track and field competition.
Last night, with the sprint team members Zheng Tianxi, Feng Chuming and Su Yu advancing to the 100m semi-finals at the same time, and Su Yu running a time of less than 10 minutes in the 100m sprint preliminaries, the domestic audience's enthusiasm for the Olympic sprint events has rapidly increased!
Of course, there is also the power of the previous #Su Yu Olympic Devil Schedule#.
Many viewers want to know, under such a devilish schedule, Su Yu can run into the 100m semi-finals, but what about the 400m and 200m?
Therefore, the viewers who had made reservations on Jigu Video to watch all of Su Yu’s schedules began waiting early in the morning for the men’s 400-meter sprint preliminaries at 9:45 a.m. local time!
While the audience was waiting for the competition to begin, some netizens spontaneously began to discuss the difficulty of Su Yu's 400-meter preliminaries.
To be honest, these spectators are very hardworking and serious in order to enjoy the melons.
At first, they saw someone say that the group that Su Yu was in for this preliminary round was considered to be of death difficulty. Then, these onlookers didn't understand why it was considered to be of death difficulty, so they dug up the 400-meter results of Su Yu's opponents, the average results of domestic 400-meter runners, the average results of Asia's top 400-meter runners, and the average results of world-class 400-meter runners.
Some people also dug up the popular science that track and field fans had done after Su Yu achieved good results in the 400 meters.
In short, after a lot of searching, the audience finally figured out the key to the difference between 46 seconds, 45 seconds, 44 seconds and 43 seconds in the 400-meter results - it turned out that among the 8 contestants in the same group with Su Yu, including Su Yu, there were 4 contestants who successfully broke the 45-second mark.
Among the remaining four players, three have personal best results within 45.30 seconds.
As soon as this data came out, the track and field fans hadn't even started to get anxious yet, but the spectators were already stunned.
——With such a death group, can Su Yu really advance to the semi-finals?
What a coincidence, probably because of the popularity of the 100-meter sprint and Su Yu last night, the sports channel paid attention to the 400-meter preliminaries.
So early in the morning, when Su Yu arrived at the Tokyo Olympic Stadium, he received a pre-match interview from Liu Yu. The central idea of the interview was whether he had confidence in the men's 400m preliminaries this morning?
In front of Liu Yu's interview camera, Su Yu simply blinked and said, "There shouldn't be... any problem, right?"
When answering Liu Yu's question, Su Yu was very calm, but when Liu Yu asked Su Yu if he was looking forward to the next game, he rarely smiled, but the smile was very shallow and fleeting.
With this fleeting smile, Su Yu said to the camera: "I can't wait any longer."
After that, he waved to the camera and said, "See you after the game."
