Chapter 196
When Su Yu and Zheng Tianxi returned to the national team's backcourt lounge again, Sun Gaoshu, Pei Dingshan and the Chinese team's staff were already waiting in the lounge.
This time, Zheng Tianxi directly asked Sun Gaoshu to arrange for Su Yu to meet Liao Yongming and others first.
After all, after tonight's men's 100m sprint final, he will have to wait until four days later on August 5th for the men's 4*100m sprint relay to appear again, so he has plenty of time to recover his physical strength.
But Su Yu is different.
Although Su Yu's competition has only started for two days, from yesterday to today, there have been four consecutive high-intensity confrontations.
Even though Pei Dingshan had made very complete arrangements for Su Yu, Zheng Tianxi guessed that Pei Dingshan probably had not considered that Su Yu would face such a high-intensity competition.
Zheng Tianxi knew that Su Yu had a strong ability to recover. Sun Gaoshu had also mentioned to him that one of the reasons why Su Yu was so talented was that the time it took for his body to form and eliminate lactic acid accumulation was different from that of ordinary athletes.
His body's acid excretion level and efficiency far exceed those of ordinary athletes, which is one of the important reasons why Su Yu's physical condition can recover quickly.
But no matter how strong the body's acid excretion ability is, the factors that affect the athlete's competitive state are also the athlete's physical condition, muscle condition, body elasticity, strength, explosive power, etc. It doesn't mean that Su Yu's body has a strong acid excretion ability, and other aspects can also recover at the speed of light.
Given the intensity of Su Yu's competition today, Zheng Tianxi wanted to send him back to the lounge as soon as he saw Su Yu's knees go weak after he finally crossed the finish line.
When he met Liu Yu and his team during the interview just now, he simply told Liu Yu that Su Yu needed to rest and that the interview would be discussed later. Then, after completing the urine test, he took him back to the lounge.
Su Yu kept telling Zheng Tianxi that he was in good condition, but before he could finish the second half of the sentence "don't worry", Zheng Tianxi glared back at him with a ruthless look.
Now they arrived at the backcourt locker room, and Su Yu was obediently sent directly to see the team doctor and staff. Everyone in the locker room began to quickly circle around Su Yu and Zheng Tianxi, and gradually stopped after a while.
After such a long time, the excitement of Sun Gaoshu and the others finally calmed down, but they couldn't help but sigh when looking in the direction of Zheng Tianxi and Su Yu.
However, the people in the lounge did not have time to sigh for too long. About twenty minutes later, the door of the lounge was knocked open, and Sun Yuhang, Jiang Yuan, Liu Yu, Lin Weixiong and their team of photographers rushed in.
Sun Gaoshu didn't slap his head until he saw Sun Yuhang and Jiang Yuan coming in. "Yuhang, Jiang Yuan, is your high jump final over? Look, I forgot about it!"
Sun Yuhang glanced at Sun Gaoshu with a smile and said, "Coach Sun, you don't have me in your heart!"
When the people around saw Sun Yuhang's reaction, they were stunned at first, and then they were all happy - Sun Yuhang, this guy, is known to everyone in the national track and field team. Except when he drives his opponents crazy during competitions, the rest of the time he is a guy who shows his emotions directly on his face.
Now everyone looking at Sun Yuhang’s smiling face knew that Sun Yuhang had probably successfully won the gold medal tonight...!
This is indeed the case. In the final confrontation with Mohammed Radei, Sun Yuhang won the Olympic men's high jump final with a successful second attempt at a height of 2.39 meters.
For Sun Yuhang, the only regret is that although he tied his personal best record, after confirming that he had won the championship, Sun Yuhang asked to raise the horizontal bar to a height of 2.41 meters for another attempt.
In the end, he failed to surpass his personal best in history, and his result in the Tokyo Olympic high jump final was fixed at a height of 2.39 meters.
In this final, except for Sun Yuhang and Muhammad who successfully jumped over a height of 2.39 meters, among the remaining contestants, only one contestant successfully jumped over a height of 2.37 meters. The other two contestants who applied for exemption from the jump at a height of 2.37 meters both failed in the end, and their scores remained at 2.35 meters.
Although Jiang Yuan achieved a breakthrough in the men's high jump final, unfortunately his score of 2.33 meters only ranked eighth in the final.
This result and final ranking actually also indirectly demonstrate the high standards and cruel competition in the Olympic arena.
In the lounge, the staff were originally busy with Su Yu and Zheng Tianxi's affairs. They were so excited that they forgot to pay attention to the follow-up of the high jump final. When they heard that Sun Yuhang successfully won a gold medal, the staff in the lounge also cheered excitedly!
gold medal!
For the Chinese track and field team, gold medals are too scarce.
Among the 48 events, the number of events in which the Chinese track and field team has a chance to win gold can be counted on one hand. For example, in this Olympics, the track and field schedule has only ended for the third day, and the Chinese team has only won gold medals in two events, the women's shot put and Sun Yuhang's men's high jump.
After that, the only events that the track and field team still has hope of winning gold medals are the women's javelin and 20km race walking.
Sun Yuhang's victory tonight made everyone present even more excited. You know, the last time the Chinese team won a medal in the men's high jump event at the Olympics was more than 30 years ago.
That year, China's high jump star successfully won a bronze medal at the Los Angeles Olympics. It was also the first medal won by the Chinese track and field team in Olympic history!
But after that, the Chinese team never won any medal in the high jump event in the Olympics, let alone a gold medal!
Let's not talk about others, let's just talk about Sun Yuhang himself. In the last Rio Olympics, Sun Yuhang "lost himself" in the final stage, and ultimately failed to win a medal, and regretfully exited the final with only eighth place.
After that defeat, Sun Yuhang was scolded by many people on the Internet for a long time after the game. It was not until Sun Yuhang achieved good results in the 2017 World Championships the following year that the scolding on the Internet gradually stopped.
Four years later, Sun Yuhang was still the willful and reckless person in tonight's Olympic Games, but this time, he successfully made up for his past regrets and brought the Chinese team an unprecedented gold medal in the men's high jump.
When interviewed just after the game, Liu Yu and Lin Weixiong asked Sun Yuhang a common question - Who do you most want to thank for this achievement?
Sun Yuhang's first answer was consistent with his arrogant and rude character: "Who should I thank? Of course, I should thank my own hard work!"
Then, when the entire nation probably wanted to beat him up, Sun Yuhang smiled roguely and gave a new answer: "The second people I want to thank are probably Lao Zheng and Su Yu."
Sun Yuhang's answer was completely beyond Liu Yu and Lin Weixiong's expectations.
"Why?"
Sun Yuhang said with a smile: "Maybe it was the stimulation from their competition just now - that guy Lao Zheng was able to withstand the pressure from his opponent in the end and defend the second half which he is least good at. That little guy Su Yu, at the age of 17, has a lot of events on his shoulders. In this 100m final, he didn't need to rush like this...but he still rushed."
Sun Yuhang touched his chin, then spread his hands and said, "Compared with the two of them, I have to deal with that guy Muhammad. They can fight like this, so if I can't beat Muhammad in the end, wouldn't it be very embarrassing?"
Liu Yu: “…”
Lin Weixiong: “…”
In fact, according to Sun Yuhang's performance at the time, even if he did not jump over the height of 2.39 meters in the end, he would have definitely won the silver medal.
An Olympic silver medal in the men's high jump is also a new breakthrough for the Chinese team - but even such a breakthrough result is just a "very embarrassing" result in Sun Yuhang's words?
Even though Liu Yu and Lin Weixiong knew that Sun Yuhang was a talkative person, they fell into silence for more than ten seconds when they heard his answer.
In the backcourt lounge, after hearing the answers from Liu Yu and Lin Weixiong, Sun Gaoshu was silent for two seconds, then asked Liu Yu: "Mr. Liu... For this interview content, should we...?"
Sun Gaoshu wanted Liu Yu to edit the interview content and submit it back to the station - this kind of answer would probably make some people angry, even if the track and field team already knew Sun Yuhang's style.
Liu Yu said to Sun Gaoshu with an apologetic look on his face: "Coach Sun, it's not that I don't want to help... Sun Yuhang's interview just now was a live broadcast after the game."
Sun Gaoshu: “…”
Therefore, Sun Yuhang's interview has probably become popular again in China. If Sun Gaoshu's guess is correct, the hottest topic on the domestic Internet now may be dominated by their track and field team.
For example, #Zheng Tianxi's men's 100m 9.83#, #China's first men's 100m Olympic bronze medal#, #Su Yu's 100m 9.93#, #China's men's high jump gold medal#...
And then there will definitely be one - #Sun Yuhang said the Olympic silver medal is shameful#.
:)
Tired.
As the head of the track and field group for the Tokyo Olympics, Sun Gaoshu will probably have to write a self-criticism when he returns to China just based on Sun Yuhang's answer to this interview.
Thinking of this, Sun Gaoshu hurriedly took out his mobile phone - sure enough, there was a string of missed calls on it.
Just now, after the 100-meter final, he rushed all the way from the audience seats to the backcourt lounge, and then he was busy with the arrangements for Zheng Tianxi and Su Yu, and he didn't notice when his phone was turned off silent.
Looking at the string of calls on his mobile phone at this moment, Sun Gaoshu felt a headache.
After thinking about it, he put aside Sun Yuhang as the "culprit" and asked Liu Yu and Lin Weixiong what was going on in the backcourt locker room.
Liu Yu said with a smile: "Just after the men's 100m final, Captain Zheng was worried that Xiaoyu was too tired, so he refused the live interview with Weixiong and me. But the results they achieved tonight are still making a sensation in China. If Weixiong and I don't take the content of their interview back, we won't be able to report to the meeting!"
Sun Gaoshu then realized that the reason why Zheng Tianxi and Su Yu came back so quickly was because Zheng Tianxi saved the time for a live online interview.
There was no problem with the interview. Sun Gaoshu nodded and said, "It's OK, but we have to wait until Tianxi and Suyu are done with the massage and relaxation process."
Liu Yu and the others certainly had no objection: "Of course!"
***
In the lounge far away in Japan, Liu Yu and his team began to prepare for a new game interview.
At this time in China, just as Sun Gaoshu guessed - all the hot topics on the Internet tonight were monopolized by the national track and field team!
The moment the men's 100-meter sprint final ended and the results came out, the homepage of the domestic track and field kingdom forum was completely occupied by the two numbers 9.83 and 9.93!
[9.83 seconds! 9.93 seconds!] ! Two generations of legends! Two generations of miracles! ! 】
【Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh (Howling Tower)】
[Olympic bronze medal and fifth place in the Olympic finals...! This is truly an achievement I never expected...】
[9.83 seconds and 9.93 seconds!] God knows how many times I watched the replay of this final on Jigu Video after it ended. Every time I stopped, I felt like I was dreaming, and then I pinched myself hard - now my legs are still bruised and purple. After seeing the injuries on my legs, my wife just suggested that she could give me a slap in the face to wake me up (.]
[Tonight's result is something I never dared to dream of. In the semi-finals, we were mentally prepared that no one from the Chinese team would advance to the finals. However, Su Yu and Zheng gave us huge surprises one after another.
When the finals were over, these two results almost made me lose my soul... too shocking, too joyful! 】
[Honestly, tonight's men's 100m final can really be described as a battle of heroes - every player's results and condition are good. Even though Cameron Ewers was affected by Team Zheng at the start, he was able to burst out again and increase his speed again. This ability is really amazing. It's a pity that he has Federico, the champion of tonight's final, on his right. 】
[Tonight was a battle of heroes +10086. Even the last one, Miguel Talbot from the British team, had a time of 9.98 seconds.
Every athlete broke the ten-second barrier - such a result and grand occasion are unprecedented even in the history of Olympic finals, right? 】
[Really, it's outrageous that everyone broke the 10-second mark. For example, in the last Rio Olympics, the seventh and eighth place players' scores were 10.04 and 10.06, right? 】
After seeing the final result of the men's 100-meter sprint final, the track and field fans in the Track and Field Kingdom Forum were shocked by the results and performances of the finalists.
This result really gives people the feeling of an "invincible" 100-meter sprint battle.
In addition to these sentiments, more people are discussing whether Zheng Tianxi's 9.83 seconds in the 100 meters has room for improvement, and what level is Su Yu's 9.93 seconds in the 100 meters at the age of 17?
Regarding these two questions.
There is quite a bit of controversy over the first question. Some people believe that Zheng Tianxi's maximum result should be within 9.80 seconds, while another group of people believe that 9.83 seconds is almost Zheng Tianxi's limit.
[Let’s not talk about anything else. Look at Team Zheng’s reaction time at the start today? 0.128 seconds, this is one of the best reaction speeds for Captain Zheng in his career. 】
For sprinters, starting reaction speed is indeed an indicator of the athlete's personal strength and condition, but it is not everything.
Some players are born with amazing reaction speeds, such as Su Yu. When he concentrates fully on the game, his reaction speed may even reach 0.11x, while 0.12x and 0.13x are common reaction speed results for Su Yu.
But some players are not so quick in their reaction speed when hearing the gun, like Zheng Tianxi. Even after hard training, his reaction speed has not improved significantly.
Just as the track and field fan who spoke said, Zheng Tianxi's reaction speed at this Tokyo Olympics is already one of his peak performances.
Being able to display his reaction speed, which was one of his best performances, in the Olympic finals was definitely a bonus to Zheng Tianxi's final result.
You have to know that among so many top athletes in the world, not everyone can give their best performance in the Olympics.
Just like Cameron Ewers, who was in the same group as Zheng Tianxi, if we talk about peak strength, no athlete in this final is his opponent, but Cameron Ewers' best result in the Olympics was only the silver medal in the 100 meters.
Federico Segli, who won the gold medal tonight, had a time of 9.78 seconds, which was only third place in the competition where Cameron Ewers won the Olympic 100m silver medal.
So it was definitely lucky that Zheng Tianxi was able to display his best reaction speed tonight, and being able to successfully win a medal was definitely a combination of strength and luck.
Viewers who hold the "Zheng Tianxi's performance limit theory" believe that Zheng Tianxi's ability to run 9.83 seconds with a reaction speed of 0.128 seconds is already the peak performance of Zheng Tianxi's ability.
Audiences holding another point of view believe that Zheng Tianxi ran 9.83 seconds in the Olympic 100m final, but before that, he had already consumed a lot of energy in the preliminaries and semifinals. In this case, it can be argued that his 100m limit should be more than 9.83 seconds, and he has a chance of breaking through the 9.80 second mark.
In short, the discussion about whether Zheng Tianxi can break 9.80 seconds is in full swing on the Track and Field Kingdom Forum. It has even spread to bystanders and ordinary Olympic spectators because of the heated discussion on the Internet about the Chinese team's 100-meter results.
As for another question - [What level is it for Su Yu to run the 100 meters in 9.93 seconds at the age of 17? 】
:)
The answer to this question is very unified.
[…What level?] Of course it’s not at the human level! 】
[Invincible, number one in the world, no doubt——What? You said he's not the best in the world? Then why don’t you find a runner under 18 years old who can achieve this result? Or we can relax the conditions a bit and find a runner under 20 years old who can achieve this result? 】
[I don’t know if any of my friends have noticed a detail. In today’s men’s 100m final, the wind speed was 0.1m/s. That is to say, if the wind speed in tonight’s game was a little stronger... Friends, don’t even mention 9.93 seconds, the 9.90 mark will be broken directly! 】
【puff. The friend mentioned above is right. I think that U20/U18 players all over the world should sincerely thank the wind speed in today's final. If there was a character like "son of the weather station manager" in this game, the U18 and U20 players all over the world would probably cry even louder! 】
Perhaps it was because the 'son of the weather station manager' joke hadn't appeared for a long time, and many people were stunned for a moment after seeing it, and then burst into merciless laughter.
After I finished laughing I had to reply, 'Yes, yes, yes, let's all be thankful that the weather station director's son didn't show up tonight.'
But...
[Even if there is no character like the son of the weather station manager in tonight's game, U18/U20 players around the world will not be able to laugh, right? 】
Isn’t it?
The 17-year-old athlete had a 100-meter time of 9.93 seconds.
Apart from "not a human being", track and field fans don't know what other words can be used to describe Su Yu's strength.
[Hey, have any of you read the discussions among the spectators on Weibo? 】
After the track and field fans discussed and expressed their feelings for a while, someone suddenly raised this question.
Track and field fans: ?
What to discuss?
[#Medal born because of Su Yu#←On this topic]
【? ? ? 】
[What?] A medal created because of Su Yu? Oh, are you talking about Team Zheng's 100-meter bronze medal? But haven’t we discussed this topic before? Before the semi-finals, this was discussed in the forum, right?
Captain Zheng himself also said in an interview that he wanted to thank Su Yu for helping him relieve pressure in the semi-finals so that he could perform better in the finals.
Therefore, it is not unreasonable to say that Team Zheng's 100-meter bronze medal was won because of Su Yu. 】
【：）Friend, you don’t know this, right? Not only does our Yudi have a share of Captain Zheng's medal, but we also have a share of Sun Yuhang's gold medal.
Of course, these are still our domestic medals. Someone just reposted a foreign media interview with Federico, the champion of tonight's 100-meter sprint final. The gold medalist tonight mentioned Yu Di several times in the interview. 】
【? ? ? 】
【ha? What the hell? Why did Federico mention Su Yu? 】
These track and field fans in the Track and Field Kingdom Forum were partying and discussing in the forum right after the 100-meter final, and they didn't pay any attention to what was happening on Weibo.
It was only at this moment, reminded by this reply, that I rushed to Weibo to take a look at the new hot topic on Weibo at that time - #Federico said he was under great pressure facing Su Yu#.
Track fans: ...huh?
What kind of Densi is this? Is this a catchy headline?
As a result, when track and field fans clicked on this topic and read the interview with Federico Segli by overseas media that someone had reposted, they suddenly realized that this didn’t seem to be a clickbait title after all.
Of course, it’s not quite right to say that it’s not a clickbait title at all.
In this interview video, the reporter first asked Federico what he felt about winning the championship tonight, and then asked Federico how he performed so well tonight.
And Federico mentioned Su Yu in his answer to this part——
——I think the initial motivation, besides my desire to win, was another important reason: I didn’t want to lose to Sue on my right.
——I was in the same group with Su in the semi-finals. Oh, even when I think about it now, I still feel that the final sprint stage of that semi-final was really a nightmare.
——In the last 15 meters, I was overtaken by Su in the semi-finals! To be honest, even looking back on it now, it was a terrible experience.
——This terrifying opponent from the Chinese team is only 17 years old! Oh my goodness, Mr. Reporter, do you know how I felt when I first realized how old he was?
——And the Chinese... you know, they always look very young. When I saw him in the semi-finals, I even thought he was not even 16 years old!
——As a result, such an opponent surpassed me in the semi-finals, and I almost lost the qualification to advance to the finals. This was really a terrible possibility.
——Of course, I was lucky enough to advance to the finals in the end, but when the finals started, I was in the eighth lane, and this Su from China... he was in the ninth lane, just to my right!
When Federico said this, the reporters present all burst into laughter. After Federico's description, everyone knew how terrified he was when he saw Su Yu.
Anyway, when Federico saw everyone laughing, he laughed along.
Finally, he spread his hands and said, "That's it. I think, in addition to thanking my coaching team, the person I should thank the most for winning this game is probably this Su from China? After all, what I thought before the game started was that I must not let my guard down against this guy from the Chinese team. I must go all out to sprint."
Federico put his hands on his hips and said in an incredible tone, "Oh, by the way, I just found out that he actually participated in the 400m preliminaries today and even advanced?! What an outrageous guy, he will also participate in the 400m semi-finals tomorrow? I am very curious about him now. I wonder how he will perform in the 400m semi-finals tomorrow night. I will definitely come to watch his game on time tomorrow night!"
***
The video of the interview with Federico only captured this part, and Su Yu’s answer was not mentioned in the rest of the content.
But even this part alone is enough to make people amazed.
So, the topic #Federico said he felt pressured when facing Su Yu# is not just a clickbait headline. Federico was indeed full of vigilance when facing Su Yu. It is hard to say whether it was pressure or not, but Federico himself admitted that he won the final victory in tonight's final, and Su Yu was one of the people he should thank the most.
After watching this interview, track and field fans looked at each other in surprise - what the hell? This is truly solid evidence of "Su Yu helping to win Olympic gold medals"!
From this perspective, the topic #Medal born because of Su Yu# becomes even more convincing.
***
The Internet was filled with hot searches because of Zheng Tianxi's medal-winning 100-meter race, the achievements of Zheng Tianxi and Su Yu, Sun Yuhang's rude interview, and the subsequent related hot topics that emerged from this series of content.
For the first time, a magical scene appeared where all topics at the front row of the entire hot search list were filled with track and field related content.
The leaders of the domestic field management center were all beaming with joy after seeing such a grand occasion, such achievements and such a high level of discussion.
There is no way. Although it is indeed the Olympic cycle now, track and field has never been the most popular event in the entire Olympic cycle.
Let alone the 'highest popularity', based on past experience, the live broadcasts of Olympic track and field events, even the 100-meter sprint, the most popular event in track and field events, have average ratings in China - usually unable to make it into the top ten list of Olympic ratings.
You know, it is the most popular event in track and field competitions!
Finally it’s this year!
Judging from the data from Jigu Video, the ratings for Su Yu's match in the semi-finals were already very high. After the news of Su Yu's successful advancement to the semi-finals spread, the real-time online number of viewers for Zheng Tianxi's semi-final directly set a new record for Jigu Video since the start of the Olympics.
As for the men's 100-meter sprint final in the evening, it goes without saying that both the ratings of the sports channel and the number of people watching online at the same time on Jigu Video hit new highs.
The staff at the Athletics Management Center who are responsible for communicating with the media brought back even more good news.
It's not just the ratings. After the news that Zheng Tianxi and Su Yu successfully advanced to the finals came out, the businesses that had signed contracts with Su Yu and Zheng Tianxi before the winter training directly asked for priority renewal.
In addition to the existing merchants, the department in charge of market promotion and marketing at the Athletics Management Center is overwhelmed with calls from the media and merchants, and a huge number of cooperation invitations are pouring into the Athletics Management Center.
When the news came that Sun Yuhang had successfully won the gold medal in the men's high jump, the phones of the already busy staff were completely blown away.
But this kind of busyness is also a happy busyness.
The original general sponsor of the national track and field team called directly and said that the sponsorship of the national track and field team will at least double. The specific amount will be discussed in detail later.
At the same time, the general sponsor also directly approved a huge amount of money, which will be directly distributed to the medal-winning athletes of the national track and field team. Of course, in addition to the medal-winning athletes, Su Yu also has a separate bonus.
After all, there are always different standard requirements for different projects.
Everyone knows that in the 100-meter sprint, it is already extremely difficult to advance to the finals. In this case, as a country that is underdogs in the 100-meter sprint, or even a race that is underdogs in this event, Su Yu repeatedly refreshed WU20R in the semifinals and finals.
If no reward is given to such a genius, then after the final news is exposed, the sponsor will not only not be praised, but will be accused of "not understanding athletics".
***
Su Yu doesn’t understand the domestic situation yet.
After he was pressed onto the massage bed by Dr. Liao Yongming himself and his tears were almost coming out from Liao Yongming's iron hands, he finally ended his "torture" tonight.
Liao Yongming looked at Su Yu, who was completely exhausted after getting up from the massage bed, and pointed at him with a smile: "You kid, you were very brave in the competition, but you acted like I was torturing you when you were on the massage bed."
Su Yu looked at Liao Yongming with a melancholy face, wanting to say "It's really like being tortured", but after two seconds of silence, he closed his mouth.
After all, Dr. Liao's iron hand is always by his side. Comparing the careers of athletes and massage physicians, I'm afraid that even after he retires, Dr. Liao will still continue to be the leader of the massage group in the national team.
Not far away, Pei Dingshan looked at Su Yu's "a man of insight" and couldn't help laughing. Then he walked to the massage bed and raised his hand to rub Su Yu's head.
"Are you feeling okay?"
Su Yu blinked: "Well, it's okay."
Pei Dingshan looked at Su Yu's appearance and finally shook his head helplessly.
During the final, he originally wanted to communicate with Su Yu about the problem of over-consumption in the arena, but after the final, when he looked at the status and performance of every player on the field, he suddenly came to his senses - in an arena like the Olympic final, as long as the players are ambitious about their careers, as long as their condition can still bear it, no one would be willing to give up the pursuit.
The other contestants would not be willing, and Su Yu would not be willing either.
Pei Dingshan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
His experience was still a little insufficient, so when considering Su Yu's physical condition, he ignored the appeal of the Olympics to an athlete...especially to an athlete like Su Yu.
So he finally gave up the idea of asking Su Yu to "consider the subsequent schedule and relax the game."
Or in other words, this idea is not impossible to come up - but perhaps the only race that can make Su Yu relax a little is the subsequent men's 200-meter sprint preliminaries.
Before that, the hurdle that Su Yu needs to overcome first is the men's 400-meter sprint semi-final which will start tomorrow night!
***
Similarly, with Su Yu's result of 9.93 seconds in tonight's 100-meter sprint, many track and field fans or spectators on the Internet could not help but imagine Su Yu's next individual results.
Subject: [Yu Di’s 100m result improved directly from 10.02 to 9.93. Is it possible that his 200m and 400m results will improve significantly in this Olympics? 】
This post soon appeared on the Track and Field Kingdom forum.
However, the track and field fans in the post did not seem very positive about the possibility raised in the title of this post - there was no way, Su Yu's schedule was really too devilish. As of tonight's 100-meter final, there were already four shots.
Not to mention comparing with others, just compare with Team Zheng who is on the same field tonight. In the entire Olympic schedule, Team Zheng, including individual and team events, only ran two more shots at most, a total of five shots.
Moreover, the next men's 4*100m preliminaries will not start until August 5th. During this period, Zheng Tianxi has plenty of time to rest.
But what about Su Yu?
In the next few days, on August 2, which is tomorrow night, the semi-finals of the men's 400m sprint will be held. After the semi-finals, the men's 200m group stage will be held on the morning of August 3, and the men's 200m semi-finals will be held in the evening.
Let’s not discuss the possibility of Su Yu advancing to the finals here, and only discuss it up to the semi-finals, which means three shots in two consecutive days.
All I can say here is that in Su Yu's next schedule, if he does not make it to the 200m final, he can get a full day of rest on August 4th.
And if... just if - if he succeeds in advancing to the finals in the 400m or 200m race...
In the former case, Su Yu would have to finish the men's 4*100m relay preliminaries in the morning and then compete in the 400m finals in the evening, having to take care of both individual and team events on the same day. In the latter case, Su Yu would completely lose his only rest time on August 4th...
If you still have both...
:)
With this schedule, even an iron man would probably give up, right?
So this post finally ended with the comment from the first floor elder brother:
1F: [I think we can put aside the possibility of Su Yu’s 400m and 200m performances further improving in the next races.
Given the devilishness of Su Yu's schedule, even if he runs 45.50+ seconds in the 400m semi-final tomorrow, we will all have to respectfully call him the Iron Man Devil! 】
Under the comments of the big brother on the first floor, the rest of the floors are all +1+1+1.
