Chapter 198
At 7:00 p.m. local time, which is 8:00 p.m. Japan time, the domestic sports channel's live broadcast of the Olympics had already switched to the location of the main track and field stadium.
At this moment, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming were already introducing Su Yu's semi-final grouping and opponents tonight in advance to the temporarily empty track.
At the same time, in the audience seats of the Tokyo Olympic Stadium in Japan, die-hard fans of the 400-meter race, such as Guo Debiao, Han Yiqing, and Sui Feng, were waiting for Su Yu to appear on stage, while habitually taking out their phones to watch the live broadcast on Jigu Video.
There is no way. I am used to watching the live broadcasts of teachers Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming in the past games. When I watch the game live, it feels a bit strange without the commentary of the two teachers in my ears.
While listening to Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming's introduction to the men's 400-meter sprint semi-final that was about to begin, everyone chatted with emotion.
"If I remember correctly, during the last Rio Olympics, the men's 400m sprint semi-finals were not broadcast live. It was only during the finals that he was shown on the sports channel live broadcast?"
Han Yiqing shook his head and said, "It's not that there is no live broadcast at all, it's just mixed in with the live broadcasts of various projects, so you can't see it."
Han Yiqing still remembers that the track and field schedule at that time, like tonight's, included the women's pole vault qualifying, 200m, 400m hurdles semi-finals, discus and 5000m finals, as well as the men's 400m semi-finals and 3000m steeplechase finals, a full half-day schedule. All together, it could only earn about 25 minutes of live broadcast time on the sports channel.
If you want to watch a complete track and field event on the sports channel, first of all, the Chinese team's athletes have to achieve a good result in this event. Secondly, you will probably only be able to watch the recorded broadcast during non-event live broadcast time.
A very realistic situation.
But this year is different. The Chinese team has an athlete like Su Yu in the sprint event, as well as athletes such as Zheng Tianxi, Feng Chuming and Sun Yuhang who have given outstanding performances.
Since the track and field schedule kicked off, the momentum and popularity of the Chinese track and field team in recent days have been no less than those of other national-level events.
Isn’t it?
The most direct feedback is like what is happening now - the sports channel has set aside 25 minutes to broadcast the men's 400-meter sprint semi-finals live.
This is the most direct effect brought about after the project gradually exerts influence.
When Han Yiqing thought of this, he couldn't help but think of the person who brought the 400-meter event to its current influence—Su Yu.
Han Yiqing and his team knew very well that if the 100m and 200m sprint events had their foundations laid by Zheng Tianxi, Feng Chuming and Zhan Youming, then the men's 400m sprint event could have reached its current state entirely thanks to Su Yu's performance and influence.
Before Su Yu appeared, the domestic men's 400-meter sprint was really in a hopeless decline. First, Yuan Xinghua's doping incident was quietly hidden, and then there were "good results" of winning over 48 seconds in various domestic competitions, and in between there were various players who gave up.
At that time, facing the domestic 400-meter sprint event, even Han Yiqing once lost the courage to watch the live competition - after all, they came from thousands of miles away to watch the game, and what they wanted to see must be an exciting event.
At the very least, I hope to see the players give their all in the competition and strive for better results.
But in reality, what they saw was all the worst scenes in various competitions.
Faced with such a situation, even the deepest love will be worn away.
Fortunately, before the domestic 400-meter sprint fell into a deeper abyss, Su Yu appeared.
It is no exaggeration to say that the name Su Yu has become a savior for the 400-meter sprint enthusiasts in China today.
Just like the Olympic men's 400m sprint semi-finals right now...
Sui Feng, who was standing nearby, watched the competition while listening to the commentary of Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming on the Jigu video played by other group members. He said to Han Yiqing and Guo Debiao, "Brother Han, Lao Guo, look... we actually have a day to watch the Chinese team compete in the Olympic 400m sprint semi-finals!"
On the side, Han Yiqing, Guo Debiao and others listened to Sui Feng's words. Although the expressions on their faces were different, they were all filled with emotion.
Who says it’s not?
In fact, Sui Feng’s words have been said more than once by group members who came to the scene these days, and not just during this Olympics - for example, during last year’s Doha World Championships, Lao Han and others also expressed their feelings at the Khalifa Stadium in Doha.
In short, all these scenes seem like a dream to them, but it is also the solid reality.
Thinking of the last part, Han Yiqing smiled and said, "That's great."
On the side, Guo Debiao, Lao Hu, Sui Feng and others also laughed.
Yeah, that’s great!
***
In the live broadcast room of the domestic sports channel, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming had already finished introducing the situation of Su Yu's group which was about to appear on the stage. The two veteran commentators had excellent control over time. When their introduction just finished, the time on site reached 8:05 at the same time.
The game is about to start!
At one of the entrances to the 400-meter track area, which was originally empty, the first group of runners for the 400-meter semi-finals came on stage one after another under the guidance of on-site staff.
After seeing the contestants come on stage, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming also smiled and said, "Su Yu is here."
In the live broadcast, the director had already cut the camera to the athletes' entrance channel, and the first group of athletes in the men's 400m sprint semi-finals also appeared in the camera one after another.
Every time a player comes on stage, there will be some polite cheers and applause - there is no way, although Japan's two 400m runners, Miyamoto Mirai and Ishikawa Hiroki, have qualified for the Olympics, both of them were eliminated in the preliminaries, so in the semi-finals, the Japanese audience as the home audience will certainly not cheer too sincerely for these visiting players.
Except Su Yu.
When Su Yu came out of the contestant entrance channel and simply waved in the direction of the audience, the scene instantly erupted into intense cheers and shouts. The contrast in momentum was so strong that the contestants who appeared before Su Yu couldn't help but look back in the direction of Su Yu behind them.
In China, the reactions on the public screen of the Jigu Video live broadcast room are also the most direct.
When the other contestants came on stage, there were still sparse comments of "Where's Su Yu" on the public screen. By the moment Su Yu appeared, the entire public screen would be completely dark unless the screen protection mechanism was turned on.
[Ahhhhh, Emperor Yu, go, go, go! We will always support you! 】
【Emperor Yudi, forever invincible! 】
The screen was filled with similar comments, and for a moment it was so serious that the screen froze.
The images in Jigu Video were directly synchronized from the signal source of the sports channel. Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming were not aware of the situation on the public screen at the moment. After Su Yu appeared on the court, they were more concerned about Su Yu's current condition and performance.
Tian Ruhui looked at Su Yu, who was walking easily, and observed him for a while before smiling with a little relief: "Judging from Su Yu's expression after he came on stage, he should be in good condition today?"
Zhou Jiming couldn't help laughing and said, "Yeah, after all, compared to yesterday's schedule, Su Yu's schedule today should be considered 'easy', right?"
When Tian Ruhui heard what Zhou Jiming said, he couldn't help laughing.
Although Tian Ruhui knew that Su Yu's 400m semi-final tonight was by no means "easy", Zhou Jiming's statement was really hard to refute.
Shaking his head, Tian Ruhui quickly turned his attention to Su Yu who was already standing in front of the track: "Okay, Su Yu has now arrived in front of his track. In tonight's 400m semi-final, Su Yu is in the fifth lane, which is a very good golden lane."
"Yes." Zhou Jiming also added with a smile: "Moreover, in the sprint events of this Tokyo Olympics, the Chinese team's athletes have created many 'fifth lane miracles'. I wonder if there will be new surprises waiting for us in tonight's 400m semi-final?"
Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming laughed and sang in unison, but during the conversation, Tian Ruhui had already told them all the difficulties that Su Yu would face if he wanted to advance tonight - in short, the main goal was to stack up a buff and make sure the audience could speak rationally in any situation.
***
At the same time, at the Olympic Stadium in Tokyo
Su Yu was standing in the fifth lane. Behind him on the left, in the fourth lane, was the familiar Adam Gibson. In front of him on the right was Jersin Robledo, his opponent who had been in the same group with him in the World Championships semi-finals.
The two players' personal best results are 43.87 seconds and 44.15 seconds respectively, ranking first and second in the semi-finals.
And Su Yu, who was on the fifth lane and sandwiched between the two of them, was the third from the bottom.
If other players were faced with such a situation, they would probably be so nervous that they would not know what to do. However, Su Yu did not seem to feel the threats from his opponents. Facing two opponents in front and behind him, as well as other opponents on the field who were stronger than him, he appeared very calm.
But this is normal - after all, he has experienced the semi-finals and finals of the 100m, so it seems that it is difficult to scare him in the semi-finals of the 400m?
On the field, Su Yu rubbed his arms, then squatted down and readjusted the position and angle of the starting blocks behind the starting line.
In fact, if Su Yu could hear the explanations of Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming, he should also say something for Zhou Jiming - Teacher Zhou is right.
Compared with the previous day's schedule, after sufficient rest time, by tonight, his physical fitness has recovered to 80% to 90%. After these two seasons of deliberate adjustments and enhancements by Pei Dingshan and him, coupled with his own strong recovery ability, now in the track and field schedule, the "physical fitness" problem that once greatly restricted him has gradually disappeared.
So for Su Yu, the question he needed to face tonight was - after three big battles yesterday, can he still maintain his condition in tonight's 400m semi-final?
If he cannot mobilize his condition, then even if his physical strength recovers, it will be difficult for him to have an outstanding performance in the end.
Fortunately, after a day's rest, Su Yu was already eager to get going. After the warm-up, he came to the stadium and heard the cheers of the audience and felt the tense atmosphere among his opponents. Su Yu could clearly feel that his condition was gradually being activated.
On the court, Su Yu patted his arms and legs gently, relaxed and adjusted his muscles, and feeling the noisy sounds of the audience, Su Yu gradually became more and more excited.
The thumping sound of his heartbeat mixed with the cheers of the surrounding audience made Su Yu more and more excited about the game.
It was at this time that the official commentator on the scene began to introduce the eight contestants on the field starting from the second lane.
With the appearance of the introductions, the atmosphere on the scene became a little more intense, because everyone knew - now, the competition was really about to begin!
The eight players on the field, from lane 2 to lane 9, are Gregor Grachovaco from Slovenia, Delmas Ansaloni from Italy, Adam Gibson from Grenada, Su Yu from China, Jersin Robledo from Colombia, Odell Fariña from Trinidad and Tobago, Christopher Kerkum from the Netherlands and Daniel Graf from Switzerland.
While the official commentator on the scene was introducing the eight players, the camera on the scene also scanned the eight players one after another.
When the players on the field heard their names, they would wave towards the camera and then continue to make the final relaxation adjustments on the spot.
In the live commentary room of the domestic sports channel, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming were introducing the players on the field one by one, occasionally making some comments on the players' conditions.
Just like at this moment, the camera has already scanned the Swiss player Daniel Graf on the ninth lane.
The player from Switzerland also waved towards the camera, but from the way he waved, it was obvious that Daniel Graf was not in a good condition at the moment.
The only Swiss athlete who had not yet run under 45 seconds was randomly assigned to lane 9 in the semi-finals. This was undoubtedly a very bad start for Daniel.
After all, on the ninth lane, he will completely lose his judgment of his opponent's situation, not knowing which lane he will be in or how far away he will be from his opponent.
Some people may think that the outermost curve is easier to run, but the feeling of completely losing control of the race is a terrible nightmare for Daniel.
And now, facing such a nightmare and so many strong opponents on the field, tension completely took over Daniel's heart - he wanted to play well, but his tense state seemed to no longer allow it.
Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming also noticed the tenseness on Daniel when they introduced the ninth lane, but after all, they were not sure because of the live camera. They only mentioned, "Daniel, the Swiss player on the ninth lane, seems a little nervous. I hope he can adjust his condition and compete well," and then skipped it.
After the two introduced Daniel's condition on the ninth track, the official starter blew the whistle, and the reminder "Please do not make loud noises" began to appear on the electronic screen on the field, and the contestants in front of the eight tracks also stopped their relaxation movements.
——The competition is about to begin!
On the court, Su Yu in the fifth lane was completely excited. He thought that maybe he was born with a personality that was suitable for constantly competing with opponents on the court.
Especially in such a big competition, the stronger the opponents he faces, the stronger his desire for the game.
This feeling cannot be described as a desire for victory, but more like a desire to compete with opponents in a field full of strong players, and then surpass them little by little.
As soon as he thought of such a scene, a feeling of excitement began to flow through his body.
Su Yu thought, given his current condition, if it was just a single competition, it seemed that it would not be able to satisfy his desire for competition... ?
Just as this thought flashed through Su Yu's mind, the official starter on the scene also gave the first command - take your positions!
On the track, eight contestants including Su Yu quickly circled to their respective starting blocks, then leaned over and supported themselves with their hands, and soon each stepped on the front and rear pedals of their starting blocks.
At this time, the audience in the stands had already fallen silent. For the players on the field, it seemed as if the entire stadium's attention was fixed on them.
In the huge arena, it seemed that there were only eight of them, opponents from different countries and teams.
Exhale, inhale, exhale, inhale.
Every runner squatting on the starting blocks seems to be able to clearly hear his or her own breathing at the moment. This quiet atmosphere can both enhance their concentration but also bring them greater pressure.
As for whether this pressure will eventually turn into a driving force for the game or negative pressure...
No one can tell.
In the fifth lane, Su Yu calmly supported the ground with both hands and knelt on one knee, squatting on the starting block waiting for the start of the next race.
Plop, plop.
The scene was quiet but with occasional whispers, every opponent was tense, and he had the strongest desire to compete and surpass...
Here it comes.
It’s about to start!
At this moment, Su Yu for some reason remembered the question from foreign reporters at the scene when he just arrived at the Olympic Stadium today - What are your expectations for today's game?
Su Yu thought - I hope I can get a pretty good result.
The next second, the official starter on the scene gave a new command - ready!
Su Yu immediately supported himself with his hands on the ground, raised his hips, and prepared to start behind the starting line. When he took a deep breath, the starting gun in the starter's hand went off with a 'bang'...!
The time is now!
“The game begins!!!”
In the live commentary room of the sports channel, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming's eyes lit up when they saw Su Yu starting the race.
"Very good! Su Yu also maintained an excellent starting condition in this race!"
In the fifth lane of the stadium, at the same second when the starting gun sounded, Su Yu had already stepped on the starting blocks and started running. His body quickly leaned forward in an instant, and his arms swung rapidly at the same time, coordinated with his quickly stretched legs, driving his body forward like flying!
Although Su Yu's current explosive power and muscle strength are still far behind those of the world's top players, he also has his own advantages - he is young and light.
Compared with his opponents, Su Yu's physique looks like he can fly easily on the runway.
At the same time, with Su Yu's fast kicking and flexible and stable cornering ability, the acceleration force he unleashes during the explosive phase of starting in the corner is no weaker than that of most of his opponents on the field.
Su Yu’s biggest advantage is his condition. A good condition allows him to perform at his best on the court.
As for the opposite example of this point, it is the Swiss player Daniel Graf who is in the ninth lane at this time. This player from Switzerland is obviously taller and has stronger muscles than Su Yu. Even from his previous competitions, he also has very good cornering skills.
But his current performance is so bad that he is like a beginner in the 400-meter sprint.
Daniel's condition was not good from the moment he started running. He was even aware of it, but his hands and feet seemed so stiff that he didn't follow his instructions at all.
Any track and field enthusiast who has watched a few races could see that Daniel ran very badly - his race was over.
If I had to say something good, it would be that at least he was not so nervous as to start a false start. Even if he ran badly, at least he managed to maintain his result in this semi-final.
Of course, perhaps Daniel himself did not want this kind of comfort.
Compared with Daniel, at this time on the field, Su Yu and the three people behind him on the left and in front of him on the right, Adam Gibson and Jersin Robledo, as well as Odell Fariña from Trinidad and Tobago in the seventh lane and Christopher Kerkum from the Netherlands in the eighth lane, the state displayed by these five players on the field all have an aura of "who else but me".
Among them, the performance of Christopher from the Netherlands in the eighth lane was probably the most unexpected.
The athlete from the Netherlands is also a 31-year-old veteran. In the preliminaries, he only ran 45.54 seconds. Because the average strength of the athletes in his group was relatively low, he was lucky to qualify directly for the semi-finals with the third place in the group.
Also because of his poor performance in the preliminaries, he was in the eighth lane in this semi-final, next to Daniel who was in the ninth lane.
Not only did Christopher perform mediocrely in the preliminaries, his personal best was only 44.72 seconds - a result that was already very close to the Dutch national record for the 400-meter sprint.
There is no doubt that compared with those countries and opponents whose results are easily within 44 seconds, the Netherlands is not a strong country in the 400m event, and Christopher is not a very strong athlete.
But even in such a situation where no one was optimistic about him, the veteran from the Netherlands, after noticing Daniel Graf's collapse in lane 9, was not affected by Daniel, but simply started the sprint with all his strength.
Obviously, even if no one was optimistic about him, Christopher did not want to give up the possibility of advancing.
Behind him, in the seventh lane, Odell of Trinidad and Tobago noticed Christopher's full sprint in front of him on the right. At the same time, he also had to face the threat from Jersin Robledo behind him on the left. Therefore, Odell went straight into a full sprint shortly after the start of this game!
As for Adam Gibson in the fourth lane, there is no need to say much. As a player who was in the same group with Su Yu in the preliminaries and finally lost to Su Yu, Adam Gibson will not allow himself to make any mistakes of underestimating his opponent in the semi-finals!
From the start of the game, Adam Gibson used all his strength and sprinted forward!
Sitting in the Chinese player zone seat in the audience seats, Liu Qinlong seemed to have lost the ability to breathe from the moment Su Yu came on stage. He kept telling himself in his heart - don't be nervous, as long as Su Yu can perform at his best in this semi-final, nothing else can be forced!
But even though he was thinking this in his mind, when the game started, Liu Qinlong was completely unable to control his state and feelings.
come on!
He looked at Su Yu, who was in the fifth lane, and at the two players in front and behind him, Jersin and Adam, as well as the opponents in the seventh and eighth lanes...
Liu Qinlong's heart was beating wildly, and he could only shout "Come on" loudly in the direction of Su Yu from the audience, hoping that his cheers could bring a little strength to Su Yu!
At the same time, in the audience seats, 400-meter enthusiasts such as Han Yiqing and Guo Debiao were already shouting at the top of their lungs towards the stadium.
“Come on, come on!!”
"Come on Su Yu!!!"
"Ahhhhhhh, Yudi charge!!!"
As spectators watching the game on site, Han Yiqing and his friends now have a much broader and clearer perspective than the viewers watching the live broadcast on TV. They can see that Adam Gibson in the fourth lane is currently holding an absolute lead.
After unleashing his full strength, this famous player from Grenada is indeed not someone Su Yu can handle at this stage.
In the first 100-meter stage, almost at the start of the acceleration phase, the gap between Adam Gibson and Su Yu was visibly shortened.
Of course, even Adam Gibson could not directly narrow the distance gap between him and Su Yu in the first 100-meter stage, but Adam Gibson's leading advantage was unquestionable.
In the sixth lane, Jersin from Colombia also showed great forward strength. In the first 100-meter stage, he visibly widened the distance between himself and Su Yu, and at the same time significantly narrowed the gap in forward distance between himself and Odell in the seventh lane.
Han Yiqing and others in the audience were watching the situation on the field and were shocked - what was going on in today's semi-final? ! Whether it is Adam Gibson or Jersin Robledo, the state they showed was not like they were running in the semi-finals, but in the finals!
Obviously, this is because both players believe that even with their strength, if they don’t sprint with all their strength, they may not be able to qualify for the final.
It is precisely because of this that they fully displayed the "destroying all sides" state of the final stage on the field!
But in this semi-final, although for Su Yu, his personal best record of third from the bottom of the field made this match seem to be full of ups and downs, but for Adam Gibson and Jersin Robledo, as the two with the best personal best records and the strongest strength in the field, they should not have such a big sense of crisis...
Who are they wary of?
A strange thought flashed through the minds of Han Yiqing and others - was it Christopher, the Dutch player who performed well in this game? Or Odell from Trinidad and Tobago?
Or...is it Su Yu? !
***
In the commentary room of the domestic sports channel, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming were nervously explaining the situation on the field.
"This race was extremely intense! From the first 100-meter stage, the five runners in lanes 4 to 8 were sprinting at full speed to compete for the only two direct promotion spots in their group!"
"At present, our player Su Yu should be between fourth and fifth place!"
The current race has just entered the second 100-meter stage. Su Yu accelerated very quickly after turning from the curve to the straight road, but Adam Gibson and Jersin were in even more explosive form than him.
It is difficult to see the changes in the distance between Su Yu and Adam and Jersin from the real-time footage of the game, but it can be seen that the distance between Su Yu and Odell in the seventh lane is visibly shortening.
However, the competition is not even halfway through yet, and even the experienced Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming find it difficult to judge Su Yu's actual current ranking.
For a 400-meter race, usually, the audience can only clearly understand the actual ranking of the current players on the field when the race reaches the last straight track.
On the court.
At this time, on the fifth lane, Su Yu, who had entered the second 100-meter stage, was accelerating forward, but his speed and rhythm were obviously still under control. Even in the face of so many powerful opponents, Su Yu did not lose his mind and sprint at the speed of 200 meters in the 400-meter race.
Plop, plop.
On the track, Su Yu always firmly maintained his own rhythm, exploding, starting, accelerating in the curves, turning into the straights - and then further increasing his straight speed to about 90% of his peak speed.
In his mind, there seemed to be a pedometer engraved with rhythm and time. Every sprint and every step was precisely stepped by him to the rhythm of his own "pedometer".
From footsteps, to heartbeats, to breathing, to arm swings...
Every movement he made was highly unified by his brain, and then transformed into the most harmonious and unified rhythm, allowing him to move forward faster and faster to catch up and surpass others...!
Tian Ruhui, Zhou Jiming and others in the commentary booth were not clear about Su Yu's current position for a while, but Su Yu had a clear ranking table of his current position and that of every opponent ahead of him.
If we count Adam Gibson who is approaching him from behind, he is currently tied with Odell and is in fourth place!
Soon, as Su Yu continued to accelerate in the second half of the second 100-meter stage, even the spectators in the audience could see that Odell's actual position should have been left behind by Su Yu!
Zhong Wen and others in the audience could no longer control their emotions when they saw this stage, and they all screamed in the direction of Su Yu in the audience -
“Ahhhhhh, come on, God of Study!!!”
But as they screamed, the students from No. 12 Middle School discovered that Adam Gibson on the fourth lane and Jersin Robledo on the sixth lane were getting faster and faster!
On the other hand, 400m enthusiasts like Guo Debiao were all shocked when they saw the speed of Adam Gibson and Jersin.
What's going on? !
At this speed, do these two want to break the 44-second mark in the semi-finals? !
But no matter what the audience outside the stadium thought, after Adam Gibson on the field noticed Su Yu's sprint speed in the second 100-meter stage, his speed began to become more and more intense!
Although Jersin in the sixth lane could not feel the condition of Su Yu behind him, Christopher and Odell in front of him on the right also gave him a sense of crisis.
quick!
Must be fast!
He felt that he could definitely be faster!
With the explosive performance of these players, even when the race entered the third 100-meter stage, everyone was accumulating and adjusting their physical strength for the sprint of the final stage at this turning point, but these players were always staring at their own positions and refused to give in to their opponents!
“The last 150 meters!!”
In the live commentary room of the domestic sports channel, the voices of Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming had become a little hoarse at this moment, but their passion did not diminish in the slightest!
“At this stage, the actual rankings of the contestants relative to each other can be seen more clearly!”
In the current race, after exiting the last corner, the one in the lead is Adam Gibson in the fourth lane. Jersin in the sixth lane is slightly slower than him, but there is not a very obvious gap between the two.
In other words, the positions of the two people are very close, with the difference being only about half a body length!
After the last bend completely narrowed the distance gap at the starting stage, the five or six meter gap between Adam Gibson and Jersin and Su Yu in the fifth lane, Odell in the seventh lane and Christopher in the eighth lane clearly demonstrated the strength gap between these two players and the players behind them after they gave their best.
But perhaps because he felt the difference in strength with his own eyes, Su Yu on the fifth path became obviously more excited at this moment.
At this stage, Su Yu is in fourth position, and the one who has a slight advantage over him is the Dutch player Christopher in lane eight.
But the distance between Su Yu and Christopher is not as big as the distance between them and Adam and others.
In the last 80 meters, the distance between him and Christopher widened to about one body length as the other accelerated at full speed. Even Odell in the seventh lane was constantly approaching Su Yu's position.
However, Su Yu did not notice the change in the gap. His eyes were fixed on the position between Adam and Jersin in the front.
Hurry up...
He wants it faster!
Even if he couldn't surpass them, he wanted to be closer to them!
One step, two steps, three steps...
Su Yu controlled his breathing, frequency and rhythm little by little. He was still controlling his state in the last 80 meters, until the last 50 meters...!
"Speed up!! Su Yu is speeding up!!"
In the live broadcast room of the domestic sports channel, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming's voices rose at the moment when Su Yu was about to be overtaken by Odell, and then the two watched excitedly as Su Yu performed another miracle of "teleportation" in the last 50 meters!
"The last 40 meters! Su Yu once again widened the distance between him and Odell!!"
"The last 30 meters!!! The distance between Su Yu and Christopher is getting closer!!"
"The last 20 meters!!! I'm almost...overtaking!!!"
When he said the last three words, Tian Ruhui's voice rose octaves for a moment, and the excitement he felt went straight to the sky!
“Surpassed!!! Third place!!”
“The last 10 meters!! Cross the finish line!!!”
When Tian Ruhui saw the young man on the field successfully leaving two opponents behind in the last 50 meters of the 400-meter semi-final and then overtaking them to take the third place in the group, Tian Ruhui couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling, and excitement gushed out of his chest. He wished he could be there right now to cheer for Su Yu's performance!
After seeing Su Yu successfully cross the finish line, Tian Ruhui also excitedly announced: "Congratulations to Su Yu! In this men's 400-meter sprint semi-final, he successfully won the third place in the group!"
"This is also the best historical ranking achieved by Chinese athletes in the 400m event at the Olympics!!"
At the same time, in the audience, 400-meter enthusiasts such as Han Yiqing and Guo Debiao were already crying with excitement.
"Yudi!!! You are the best!!!"
