Chapter 47
Before the starting gun sounded, Ye Minghao looked at Su Yu who was waiting to start at the bend, his brows furrowed.
Of course he knew that Su Yu should be talented in the 200-meter event, but the training time was so short. With limited training, could Su Yu really master the rhythm of the 200-meter run?
This is not just a matter of cornering start and cornering running technique.
While he was pondering, the starting gun on the scene had already sounded with a bang - the 200-meter individual test had begun!
After the starting gun sounded, the first challenge Su Yu had to face was starting on a curve!
But just as Sun Gaoshu had seen before, Su Yu did master the idea of setting up the starting blocks and the 200-meter starting technique.
When the starter gave the command "on your marks", he was already squatting firmly on the starting blocks, with his hands open and firmly supported on the edge closest to the starting line, and his body was ready to enter the "ready" state at any time.
When the command 'ready' sounded, he raised his hips slightly higher than his shoulders, bent his front and back knees, and most of his body strength was distributed between his arms and legs.
Next to the testing ground, Sun Gaoshu watched Su Yu's preparatory movements and nodded secretly again - a very standard preparatory movement. He did not blindly let the athlete learn the starting posture of top athletes when the athlete's strength was insufficient. The starting preparatory posture adjusted by Pei Dingshan for Su Yu was more suitable for young athletes. It was not the kind of preparatory posture that excessively pursued forward power without considering whether the athlete could adapt.
After hearing the ready command, it can be seen from Su Yu's focused expression that Su Yu was listening carefully to the referee's instructions, instead of relying on some clever tricks to predict the referee's firing rhythm.
When the starting gun sounded, Su Yu's legs quickly pushed off the starting blocks and his arms immediately started a powerful arm swing. The quick and decisive arm swing drove his body to quickly enter the long stride rhythm of the starting stage. With entering this stage, Su Yu's start was already half successful.
Next to the testing ground, the coaches of the national team’s sprint group nodded secretly at Su Yu’s performance at the start.
It was a very outstanding start, but the difficulty of the 200-meter start is not limited to this - Su Yu's first three steps, thanks to his sufficient preparation before the start, allowed him to have a short section in the first three steps that was similar to a straight start, but after these three steps, Su Yu will enter the curve stage.
As we all know, during the 200-meter curve phase, athletes need to lean their bodies inward to provide themselves with centripetal force. If the athletes do not have this inward leaning movement, in the absence of centripetal force support, the athletes will move to the outside of the track and will not be able to make a perfect curve run on the curved track.
As the athletes accelerate on the curves and their positions change in different lanes of the 200-meter race, the degree of body tilt that the athletes need to make on the curves is different.
Because of this, the 200-meter curve running technique has always been a considerable technical difficulty for athletes. Athletes need to find the feeling of the body leaning inward through continuous training. At the same time, when the body leans inward, the athlete's foot landing position and the direction of pushing off the ground are different from conventional straight running.
But at the same time, the teaching of athletes' curve running techniques in domestic 200-meter training has been in a very primitive and rough state for a long time. Even the research on the effect of different lanes in the 200-meter curve running on athletes' 200-meter performance has only been discussed by relevant research experts in recent years.
Therefore, the rough curve starting technique and curve running technique have become an important factor that comprehensively restricts the performance of domestic 200m and 400m athletes.
At the same time, in the live broadcast room of Jigu Live, the track and field fans who were watching the live broadcast in the room finally came to their senses and began to pay attention to Su Yu's performance in this 200-meter test.
[The reaction at the start is still very fast! 0.138 seconds! 】
[Compared to the reaction time of a 100-meter sprint, it’s still a little slow…]
【? No, my friend, look at what you are saying, are you speaking human language? A starting reaction of 0.138 seconds is not considered slow for anyone, right? 】
[…It was indeed a little slow for Su Yu, mainly because his reaction speed in the start was too fast. When he suddenly saw the value close to 0.14, he couldn't help but feel that it was a little slow. However, the overall start of 200 meters is a little slower than that of 100 meters. It was also Su Yu's first time to start on a 200-meter curve, so it was completely understandable. 】
The audience in the live broadcast room watched the test and chatted about some topics that were a bit "why not eat meat" for other players. As Su Yu's speed gradually increased on the curve, these track and field fans who were still discussing Su Yu's starting speed a second ago had another thought in their mind -
[Friends, do you think that Su Yu’s speed on this curve is faster than expected? 】
If the track and field fans who were watching the test through the camera in the live broadcast room did not see it so clearly, then the coaches of the national track and field team on the scene had their eyes wide open after Su Yu further accelerated on the curve.
The reason is simple. It is true that Su Yu's performance in the cornering stage was better than they expected. It is not that Su Yu's speed in the cornering stage was amazing, but that in the series of processes from starting in the corner to accelerating and then running in the corner, the overall technical movements and process connections were very smooth.
The speed is not very fast, but this is the rhythm!
Next to the testing ground, Pei Dingshan was also looking at Su Yu on the track with a not-too-obvious smile in his eyes - this Su Yu was truly an amazing genius in terms of controlling his own body.
During the time that Pei Dingshan was in charge of coaching Su Yu, he always required Su Yu to meet strict standards that were incomprehensible to outsiders. However, even so, Su Yu was very receptive.
He seemed to know how to control his limbs and rhythm naturally. For Su Yu, before someone taught him the correct rhythm and techniques, he really didn't understand these things. But when someone began to guide him, his brain would quickly memorize the correct information and at the same time command his body to quickly learn and master this muscle memory.
Although the time he has to coach Su Yu is very limited, if Pei Dingshan were to define Su Yu, he would say that this is a runner who was born to belong to the racetrack.
At this time on the track, along the inside of the curve, Su Yu's speed is increasing step by step - for 200-meter athletes, almost no one can run at 100% of their maximum speed on the curve, because of the characteristics of curve running, athletes need to control their speed between 90%-95% of their maximum speed, to avoid their own speed exceeding their own curve running control ability during the acceleration process.
This speed control in the cornering stage and the rhythm of accelerating to maximum speed after leaving the corner perfectly match Su Yu's explosive ability in the later stage.
Just as Pei Yongsheng, Sun Gaoshu and others guessed when they first saw Su Yu's ability in the latter part of the 100 meters - the 200-meter race is indeed an event that is extremely consistent with Su Yu's own physiological rhythm.
With Su Yu's performance in the cornering stage, Sun Gaoshu began to look forward to Su Yu's performance in the next 200 meters!
At this time on the track, Su Yu did not care about the gazes of everyone around him. All his attention was focused on controlling his own rhythm and technique.
【Remember every breath you take, and remember the feeling of your body fighting against the centrifugal force. 】
【Follow the instinctive memory given to you by your body, but you must also clearly remember the key points of each of your arm swings and pedaling movements during the cornering phase. 】
【Always remember that speed is what you pursue, but it is by no means your only pursuit. 】
【Only when you maintain stable technical movements, proper breathing rhythm, and proper body tension, can your speed reach the most ideal speed range. 】
Su Yu didn't know when the words Pei Dingshan had said when he was guiding him in training began to echo in his mind. He still remembered what Pei Dingshan said - when you break your PB, it may not be the time you have run the hardest, but the time you feel the most relaxed and have the best control over your body.
Unconsciously, Su Yu entered a state where his breathing, heartbeat and rhythm were integrated.
The rhythm formed by every breath and heartbeat beat powerfully in Su Yu's ears again and again. He felt the centrifugal force brought to him by the arc of the curve, and then ran forward step by step along the curve. Every step helped him to better resist the centrifugal force and also made him run forward faster!
As the curve gradually ended, the track ahead became straighter, and his body gradually turned from an inward tilt to a straight angle for running on the straight track!
“…Here it comes!”
When Su Yu drew a perfect arc on the track and successfully completed the technical transition between curve running and straight running, everyone could see that after Su Yu entered the straight running stage, his speed gradually increased to the maximum!
“So fast…”
Zhu Songfeng and Gao Leqiang, who were also standing by the track, now looked solemn.
Naturally, they both knew Su Yu. After all, as a talented athlete who broke the NU18B record at the age of 14, it was impossible for all the sprinters of similar age in the country to not know his name.
But at least before today, Zhu Songfeng and Gao Leqiang did not think that Su Yu's existence would have any impact on them - after all, no matter how strong Su Yu was, he only ran 100 meters, and they were 200-meter runners, and were not on the same competitive track with Su Yu.
…
But who could have imagined that this 100-meter runner actually seemed to have the opportunity and ability to steal the rice bowls of their 200-meter runners? !
Seeing Su Yu's perfect acceleration rhythm after turning from the curve to the straight road, Zhu Songfeng was stunned - in fact, it should be said that he was already stunned when he saw Su Yu running on the curve just now, but now after seeing Su Yu's gradually accelerating performance, the degree of astonishment was doubled.
After watching Su Yu experience a perfect period of acceleration, I saw that Su Yu's speed finally dropped slightly after entering the 120-160 meter stage, but this decline did not last too long. After entering the final sprint stage, Su Yu's speed once again broke out in the final sprint stage.
In fact, since entering the 120-meter stage, Su Yu's physical fitness has indeed had a huge impact on his condition, but the reduction in speed caused by this physical energy consumption did not cause Su Yu to panic on the track.
He knew clearly that his physical fitness was his biggest flaw, and he also kept in mind what Pei Dingshan said to him - if you feel physically exhausted, don't panic, control your breathing and make adjustments, and make the final sprint in your most comfortable state.
The most comfortable state?
As his speed dropped between the 120-meter and 160-meter segments, Su Yu did not fight against the speed drop caused by this physical consumption. He instinctively relied on adjusting his breathing rhythm to regulate his physical fitness. At the same time, as his speed and frequency dropped, he subconsciously adjusted his stride size, using a larger stride to compensate for the drop in frequency.
One step, two steps, three steps...
As the breathing rhythm and step frequency were adjusted, Su Yu could feel a new force seemed to burst out in his body. It was under the influence and drive of this new force that Su Yu had the strength to speed up and sprint in the final sprint stage. He also took this last force and gritted his teeth to rush through the finish line of the 200-meter test ahead!
As he successfully crossed the line, the coaching staff led by Sun Gaoshu subconsciously applauded in the direction of Su Yu.
Amazing performance!
If before this impromptu 200-meter test, Sun Gaoshu only thought that Su Yu might have excellent 200-meter talent, then after this test just now, Sun Gaoshu had a high degree of affirmation of Su Yu's 200-meter talent.
"This Su Yu! His physiological rhythm is simply born for the 200-meter race!"
Next to the stadium, Zheng Sheng, who was in charge of coaching the 200 meters, was even more excited than Sun Gaoshu at this moment - it was really rare to find geniuses and good seedlings, especially for their 200 meters event, which was more difficult to select talents than the 100 meters.
But Zheng Sheng, the 200m coach, was not the only one present. The two coaches in charge of the 100m event were also marveling at Su Yu's 200m performance. When they heard Zheng Sheng's praise, they immediately became alert and decisively gave Zheng Sheng a look that said, "Don't try to poach us."
After all, it's rare to find a 200-meter talent like you, but is it easy for us to find a 100-meter talent?
The coaches on both sides were planning to ask Sun Gaoshu for an explanation, but they saw that Sun Gaoshu was no longer in his original position. Instead, he had reached the end of the track and was supporting Su Yu together with Pei Dingshan.
While supporting Su Yu, Sun Gaoshu looked at the child in front of him, and the love in his eyes could not be hidden at all.
Knowing that Su Yu had just finished running 200 meters and was very tired, he didn't say much. He just patted him on the shoulder and praised him with a few words of "good job".
Isn't that great?
Although Su Yu's final result has not come out yet, Sun Gaoshu, as the leader of the national team's sprint group and a senior coach, has a natural sensitivity to the speed of the athletes - based on Su Yu's overall rhythm and performance, the final result will definitely be good!
It was at this time that the on-site staff had completed the calibration of Su Yu's final result, so Su Yu's final result in the 200-meter race - 21.95 seconds - appeared smoothly on the electronic screen on site.
***
Until the end of the first day of testing for all the players in the national team, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming ended their part-time jobs at Jigu Video. When they returned to the sports channel, they both looked a little dazed.
As experienced commentators of track and field events, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming are both well-informed, but today they witnessed what an "unreasonable genius" is.
When the two of them entered the floor of the TV station's sports channel, perhaps because the dazed look on their faces was a little too obvious, a familiar staff member asked them, "Teacher Tian, Teacher Zhou, what's wrong with you two?"
Tian Ruhui subconsciously waved his hand: "Nothing."
Seeing him like this, the staff member changed the subject: "You two should have watched the first day of winter training for the national track and field team today, right? How was it? Are there any new athletes worth paying attention to in the national team this year?"
“Yes, yes…”
Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming actually came back for this matter. As commentators, they also serve as commentators and do introduction work for sports-related media. At the same time, as sports practitioners with close relations with the national team, they also sort out the information of some young players on a daily basis, so as to sort out the different levels of importance of subsequent attention to different players.
After watching the first day of testing today, they came back to the station and actually did some backup work on this.
But on the way back, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming couldn't help but review the topic related to Su Yu.
At this moment, the staff at the station saw that Tian Ruhui was hesitant to speak and became curious: "Are there any new contestants worth paying attention to?"
Zhou Jiming nodded: "Of course there is."
"What is that?"
Zhou Jiming said with emotion: "It's still Su Yu."
Staff:?
Tian Ruhui habitually continued Zhou Jiming's words and said, "It's the Su Yu we mentioned before. After his 100-meter test today, Coach Sun asked him if he was interested in trying the 200-meter again."
At this point, Tian Ruhui paused and continued: "Su Yu agreed, so he was tested for 200 meters after Zhu Songfeng and Gao Leqiang. This was his first result in the 200 meters. According to his training coach Pei Dingshan, this was also Su Yu's first result in the 200 meters after a short period of training."
"His time is 21.95 seconds."
***
That night, in the group named Su Yu and his friends, a crying and raging Zhou Yuang appeared——
Zhou Yuang: [QAQ@Suyu]
Zhou Yuang: [@苏岛@苏岛@苏岛]
Su Yu: [……]
Jiang Ruohui: [? 】
Zhou Yuang: [QAQ I saw the live broadcast replay! 】
Jiang Ruohui: [? ? ? 】
As the lone duo who have not yet come to the national team for training, Jiang Ruohui still has his own courses and training to go through. The training has just ended not long ago, and for the time being he doesn't know what happened to Su Yu and the others who are far away in the national team in City B.
Seeing Jiang Ruohui’s confused look, Ye Minghao explained in the group with a smile: [^_^Xiaoyu ran 10.39 seconds in the 100-meter test today! 】
Jiang Ruohui: [! ! ! 】
Jiang Ruohui: [Xiaoyu’s stunned gif, 10.39 seconds! As expected of you... ? 】
Su Yu: [. 】
But Jiang Ruohui discovered that after Ye Minghao gave this answer, Zhou Yuang was still crying and wailing.
Jiang Ruohui: [@Zhou Yuang, isn’t it great that Xiaoyu ran the 100m in 10.39 seconds? 】
Zhou Yuang: [@Jiang Ruohui, QAQ I didn’t say this is bad, but Ye Minghao is not a good person, he still has something to say! 】
Jiang Ruohui: [? ? ? @Ye Minghao, what do you think? 】
The next second, another lucky red envelope popped up in the group, and it said - Congratulations to Xiaoyu for running 21.95 seconds in the 200 meters!
The person who sent the red envelope was undoubtedly Ye Minghao. After clicking it, there was an emoticon of Su Yu attached to the red envelope - Thai pants spicy.
Jiang Ruohui: [……]
Jiang Ruohui: [Damn? ! 】
Jiang Ruohui: [@Su Yu, Xiao Yu, why are you running 200 meters? ! 】
Jiang Ruohui: [Wait, damn! @Su Yu, you ran 200 meters in under 22 seconds? ! 】
With the huge amount of information in this red envelope, Jiang Ruohui finally understood what had happened - wow, when none of them knew, Su Yu not only ran 10.39 seconds in the 100 meters, but also ran 21.95 seconds in the 200 meters? !
At this moment, even Jiang Ruohui couldn't help but ask a question in his mind - Is Su Yu there?
No wonder Zhou Yuang was crying and screaming. This kid has been training for 200 meters recently, but it is not so easy to master the technique of 200 meters. Just the starting and running on the curve, the connection between the curve and the straight road, and the distribution of physical strength and speed in the front and back, etc., all these difficulties are enough to make people's headaches.
As for Zhou Yuang's training situation these days, based on the training progress Zhou Yuang shared in the group, he is already quite talented in the 200-meter event, but there is nothing to be done about the fact that there is also an outrageous Su Yu in the group.
Su Yu started 200-meter training almost at the same time as Zhou Yuang, but in such a short period of time, he was able to run 200 meters in 21.95 seconds.
Su Yu looked at Zhou Yuang's resentful speech in the group, hesitated for a moment, and typed: […It’s just because the coach followed me to City B, so I can do more training than you these days. 】
Zhou Yuang: [……]
Zhou Yuang, who was far away in S City, couldn't help laughing after seeing Su Yu's comfort, even though he was originally a little depressed.
This Su Yu...
Zhou Yuang's fingers were typing on the phone screen. He smiled and said in a resentful tone: [@苏渚, QAQ So Xiaoyu, are you saying that if I train for another week, I will be able to run under 22 seconds? 】
Su Yu: [. 】
Su Yu: [Su Yu withdrew a message. 】
Zhou Yuang: [QAQ]
Ye Minghao: [Pfft. 】
Jiang Ruohui: [Pfft. 】
Seeing that Su Yu withdrew the message and fell silent, Zhou Yuang couldn't help laughing, and finally stopped teasing Su Yu, and changed the subject: [@Su Yu, your thighs are carrying me to fly, tell me quickly that I will definitely get good results in the 200 meters in the future! 】
In the double dormitory of the national team in City B, Su Yu didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he saw this, and typed: [@Zhou Yuang, you will definitely get good results in the 200 meters. 】
In the group, after Zhou Yuang made a fuss, he finally calmed down after hearing Su Yu's words. However, he soon discovered that there was another person in the group who had never appeared from beginning to end.
Zhou Yuang: [@Jiang Yuan, Yuanzi Yuanzi Yuanzi, where are the people? Why aren’t you talking anymore? 】
Su Yu glanced at Jiang Yuan, who was watching a video with headphones on in the dormitory. Just as he was about to answer for him, Jiang Yuan's reply suddenly popped up.
Jiang Yuan: [^^I am studying hard. 】
Zhou Yuang: [? 】
Zhou Yuang: [What to learn? This isn't the time when your teacher gives you extra lessons, right? 】
Of course Zhou Yuang also knew that the teachers at No. 12 Middle School did not want Su Yu and Jiang Yuan, the two top students, to "fall", so they agreed to give them remote tutoring, but the timing was not right!
Jiang Yuan: [Link – Highlights of China’s top 1 male high jumper Sun Yuhang’s competitions. 】
Zhou Yuang: [……! 】
Zhou Yuang: [Wow, this is incredible. You’ve just joined the national team for trial training, and you’re already targeting Sun Yuhang? 】
Jiang Yuan: [^^There is no other way. Senior Sun is not young anymore. If I want to surpass him before he retires, I will need to put in more effort. 】
Zhou Yuang: [. 】
What a poisonous mouth, with a strong smell of gunpowder.
So what happened on the first day of the national team’s winter training test today? Zhou Yuang sighed quietly, feeling that he had lost a lot by not being able to visit the site!
***
At the same time, track and field fans who watched the first day of the men's high jump test and the first day of the men's sprint test today all opened separate discussion threads in the Track and Field Kingdom forum:
Theme: [Jiangyuan reaches new heights! On the first day of the men's high jump test, Jiang Yuan jumped to a height of 2.29 meters, only one step away from 2.30 meters! 】
Topic: [Su Yu ran 10.39 seconds in the 100m, breaking the 10.40 second barrier! Let's discuss, how far is Su Yu from breaking the 10.30 second mark? ! 】
Topic: [Su Yu’s 200-meter unprepared test! 21.95 seconds? ! 】
These impressive results were pinned on the homepages of the sprint and high jump sections of the Track and Field Kingdom. Even track and field fans who had rarely paid attention to young athletes in the past couldn't help but click on them after seeing Jiang Yuan and Su Yu's results.
There is no other way. After all, Jiang Yuan's 2.29 meters is basically a sure win in domestic Grand Prix competitions. Even in the IAAF Challenge, 2.29 meters gives him a great chance of winning a medal.
As for Su Yu's 100m time of 10.39 seconds, this result may seem insignificant, but in fact it has once again refreshed the domestic NU18B. However, this result is not a competition result and cannot be certified.
At the same time, what was even more explosive was Su Yu’s 200m result of 21.95 seconds.
This result is so outrageous that all track and field fans can't help but rub their eyes when they see the title for the first time, then click on the title of the post and ask - Duo Shao? You said Su Yu ran a very good race in the first 200m test? !
***
That evening, after Su Yu and the others returned to their respective athlete dormitories, Pei Yongsheng, who was in charge of the sprint jump group, gathered the coaches of the sprint jump group together and began to collect and review the data from the first day of testing.
Because Pei Yongsheng was personally in charge of the test of the jumping event group, he was more familiar with the situation and postponed the matter of the jumping event group to the last discussion. He asked the head coaches of the sprint event group and the hurdle event group to make relevant summary reports on the results.
In the sprint event group, Sun Gaoshu, as the leader of the sprint group, first provided statistical feedback on the results of the men's and women's 100m, 200m and 400m athletes and trial athletes.
"In general, the performance of the 100m and 200m group runners is relatively good, while the 400m group still needs further adjustment."
"Among the newly recruited players, some had fluctuating performances. We cannot rule out the negative impact of the nervousness of the first day of training. We need to further observe the stability of the players' performances and psychological factors."
At this point, Sun Gaoshu took a deep breath and said, "At the same time, the sprint group has already identified the key targets for this time, including Zeng Jiarui and Mi Xiaoxiao in the women's 100m, Lin Xintong and Cheng Dandan in the 200m, Su Yu and Ye Minghao in the men's 100m, and Su Yu in the men's 200m."
?
After Sun Gaoshu reported the list, the coaches, who had been busy with the first tests in their respective events during the day and had no idea what happened in the sprint group, looked at each other for a while.
Even Pei Yongsheng was stunned: "Old Sun, who do you think is the focus of the men's 200 meters?"
"...If I heard correctly, the 200m athlete you're focusing on is Su Yu? Isn't he in the 100m group?!"
Even though Pei Yongsheng had personally asked his nephew about Su Yu's future project plans after watching Su Yu's competition, he did not expect that on the first day of testing today, Sun Gaoshu would be so proactive in giving Su Yu a 200-meter test and get an outrageous result of 21.95 on the spot - don't look at the fact that this result is barely within 22 seconds, and don't look at the fact that this result seems to be some distance away from Zhu Songfeng and Gao Leqiang.
Just look at Su Yu's 200-meter training cycle so far to understand what an astonishing result this is.
Therefore, after seeing Sun Gaoshu handing him Su Yu's first 200-meter test results, even Pei Yongsheng couldn't help but remain silent.
Of course, in fact, Pei Yongsheng had another document in his hand that made him even more silent - an application for exemption from some military training items written by his nephew Pei Dingshan himself for Su Yu.
In Pei Dingshan's words, Su Yu can participate in military training to enhance his collective consciousness, but there is no need for him to participate in some training programs in the military training that exceed his physical capacity.
If translated into human language, it means - Su Yu is in poor health, so don't let him participate in any projects that are too tiring.
have a look!
Look at this application, does it make sense?
National team players applied for exemption from some military training items due to physical reasons!
Even though he already had a copy of Su Yu's physical test and medical examination report in his hand, telling Pei Yongsheng that these were all true, before this moment, Pei Yongsheng still felt a little headache.
But at this moment, after seeing the report handed to him by Sun Gaoshu, Pei Yongsheng was silent for 30 seconds and then convinced himself very smoothly - isn't it just exemption from training for some projects? What's the big deal?
After all, this is a precious kid who could run under 10.39 seconds at the age of 14 and is set to get a good result in the 200 meters!
Isn’t it just that some military training items are exempted?
He approved it immediately!
