Chapter 86 (Four in One)
In the live broadcast room of Jigu Video, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming were also quite excited at the moment.
"10.20 seconds! A very outstanding result!"
Tian Ruhui sighed: "Some time ago, when the national team just arrived in Tampere, Finland, overseas media had repeatedly conveyed the information that Su Yu was in poor condition. I believe that in recent times, there are still many track and field fans who have privately worried about Su Yu's personal condition."
"But it is clear that Su Yu has directly refuted those false rumors with his performance today."
There are quite a few comments floating around on the live broadcast room of Jigu Video. At first glance, it is obvious that most of them believed the news from the Japanese media. Some people also thought that the Japanese media was not very reliable at the beginning, and now they are complaining on the comments.
[The Japanese media is really outrageous. I still remember the news at that time. It said something about the fall of the young king of track and field and the death of the wolf son. Plus that picture, if you didn’t know clearly, you would think Su Yu was dead. 】
【that is! See what happens! Not only was Su Yu fine, he even ran 10.20 seconds in the preliminaries! 】
[Speaking of which, the preliminaries of the World Youth Championships were directly 10.20 seconds. Isn’t this really a bit fierce? I remember Su Yu’s PB was only 10.19 seconds? With this momentum, won’t we be able to set a new record in the upcoming semi-finals and finals? ! 】
Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming took a look at the discussion in the live broadcast room, couldn't help laughing, and also briefly mentioned a few related topics: "In the preliminaries alone, Su Yu successfully ran a good result of 10.20 seconds. It is obvious that our 'Son of the Wolf' is in good shape at the moment."
"Yes, although I am not sure about it now, but under the current circumstances, I think Su Yu should have a chance to try to break his personal best in the 100-meter race in the upcoming semi-finals and finals."
Normally speaking, given the conservative nature of the two commentators Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming, they would not "make a wish" for the performance of the players before the game has even started. The reason they said so now is that in the previous men's 100m preliminaries, Su Yu's overall state was even a little relaxed.
God knows how shocked they were when they noticed that Su Yu didn't seem to have reached his limit.
That’s a result of 10.20 seconds!
There are only four athletes in China who have broken the 10.20-second barrier. Among them are Zheng Tianxi and Feng Chuming, two pillars of the men's 100-meter event who have broken the 10-second barrier.
The other two are Chen Peijie and Su Yu.
For example, among the other players in the national team, Gao Tianwu's current PB is only 10.21 seconds, and Yu Shaojie's is 10.23 seconds. Both are still stuck on the edge of 10.20 seconds and cannot be easily improved.
As a result, a kid like Su Yu, who is only 15 years old, has already run 10.19 seconds once and 10.20 seconds once this season.
This achievement seems as difficult as climbing to the sky for others, but for Su Yu it becomes as easy as eating and drinking.
Even commentators like Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming, who are used to seeing talented players, couldn't help but sigh in their hearts after seeing Su Yu's performance - some people's talents are really given by God!
This is what I feel sad about, but this is also what I feel fortunate about - after all, Su Yu is now one of the strongest athletes in the men's 100m event in China. Although his PB for the 100m is only 10.19 seconds, if someone asks now, 'Who will be the next athlete in the country to break the 10-second mark in the 100m? ', there will definitely be track and field fans who will decisively call out the name Su Yu!
After just one season of growth, the name Su Yu seems to have begun to carry the expectations of the majority of track and field fans for the future.
***
Of course, while domestic track and field fans are collectively excited, the domestic spectators are also holding their stomachs and laughing.
The reason is simple: it’s the real-time tracking and translation of the Japanese forum discussion post on the Weibo homepage.
This real-time translator has some evil tastes. He specifically chooses to translate the comparison content of Japanese netizens before and after the defense is broken on different floors. For example, before the game starts, "The Wolf Son's strong performance will be exposed in the next game", and after the game, "This is impossible? ! '.
There were some people who predicted before the race that Su Yu could only run 10.50 seconds, but they went crazy when they saw Su Yu's score of 10.20 seconds.
——【No matter what, we have to believe in Takahashi! 】
——【Fukushima-kun is a strong athlete who can run a time of 10.05 seconds. China only has a son of the wolf. The strength of a son of the wolf cannot withstand the attack of Fukushima-kun and Takahashi-kun! 】
Chinese spectators: Phew.
In short, no matter how you look at it, it seems like a performance of being strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
It has to be said that ever since these Japanese viewers broke down the defenses in the live broadcast room of Jigu Video, watching these Japanese viewers breaking down the defenses seems to have become a kind of bad taste for Chinese audiences.
***
The Japanese team's spectator area
The leader of the Japanese team, Matsumoto Kyo, was looking at the situation on the field with a frown on his face: "The Wolf Son of the Chinese team is indeed a very powerful young talent."
Yes, since the news about Su Yu caused such a big stir in Japan, as the head coach of the Japanese team, it is impossible that Matsumoto Kyo had not paid any attention to and studied Su Yu of the Chinese team.
In the Japanese team, the coaches have a very high opinion of Su Yu. They do not underestimate Su Yu at all, but this still does not prevent them from being shocked by Su Yu's performance once again after seeing Su Yu's performance with their own eyes.
As for Matsumoto Kyo, he has trained many famous Japanese sprinters, but no matter which one of them, after entering the stage of performance within 10.50 seconds, he can still maintain the same rapid improvement in performance as Su Yu.
He had also paid attention to some of the discussions on the Japanese forum before, including the opinion that Su Yu's grades had reached the limit of his current age group and that he might not make any progress in the next four years.
To be honest, Matsumoto Kyo also once thought so.
After all, in the world of 10.20 seconds or less, even if it is just a 0.01 second improvement, it actually requires the athletes to make tremendous efforts and have a certain amount of luck.
Matsumoto Kyo once met a player who won the World Junior Championships, but throughout his career he was unable to achieve a PB better than the one he set when he won the World Junior Championships at the age of 17.
Many talented young athletes around the world have achieved results comparable to those of adult athletes at an early age, partly because their bodies develop too early and their specialized skills are formed quickly.
However, this type of young players may still be able to maintain a good level of performance as they grow up, but they will never be able to break through the peak results of their careers.
Before this, Matsumoto Kyo originally thought that Su Yu would also be such a player.
But as long as he took a look at Su Yu's condition, Matsumoto Kyo knew that Su Yu was not this type of "young genius".
There is no advanced part in his physical development at all. In terms of physical condition, Su Yu is at an absolute disadvantage, especially in strength and explosive power. Su Yu and Devon Chambers in the eighth lane next to him cannot be compared at all.
This means that without affecting Su Yu's current physical flexibility and coordination, as his body muscles develop, this young man from the Chinese team will still have considerable room for improvement in his performance in the future.
...Maybe there won’t be a future.
In the game just now, Matsumoto Kyo reviewed Su Yu's overall game state, which was very relaxed and with room for improvement.
This also means that in the upcoming 100m semi-finals and finals, Su Yu will also launch new challenges to his personal best historical results.
Thinking of this, Matsumoto Kyo frowned and rubbed his forehead.
Now, he can only hope for Naoto Takahashi's performance in the game - he doesn't want the WU18B record originally held by the Japanese team to be taken by the Chinese team after the World Youth Championship.
***
Compared to Matsumoto Kyo's serious mind, among the two Japanese men's 100m contestants, Fukushima Takitaro did not seem to be under much pressure.
After all, he is already 19 years old this year and does not need to compete with Su Yu and Takahashi Naoto for the WU18B record. His current PB is 10.05. All he needs to do is to continue working hard and break the 10-second mark as soon as possible.
As a player appearing in the second group of the preliminaries, Fukushima Takitaro also met a player from the Chinese team in his group, Ye Minghao, who was only 16 years old.
This is also a young player whose age is far below the average of the World Youth Championships. However, before the start of this World Youth Championship, Fukushima Takitaro had seen Ye Minghao's information. The current PB of this young player of the Chinese team is only 10.40 seconds.
For Fukushima Takitaro, this was a result that posed no threat to him at all. Therefore, after appearing on the stage, Fukushima Takitaro just glanced at Ye Minghao lightly, turned his head and ignored him.
On the field, Ye Minghao concentrated on preparing for the race after he came on stage. After adjusting his starting blocks and taking a test run, he stood up and noticed the inexplicable look Fukushima Takitaro gave him.
The look was not hostile; to be more precise, it was a look of indifference.
As a child born in a large family, Ye Minghao was particularly sensitive to this kind of gaze, but he ignored Fukushima Takitaro's gaze and just lightly put it behind his mind.
After all, his family environment has taught him since he was a child that when you don't have enough strength, you can't gain real respect from others.
At this time, his PB for the 100 meters was only 10.40 seconds.
This result may be good among U18 players around the world, but among U20 players, even if only the results of this season are calculated, it can only rank in the top 55 in the world.
Fukushima Takitaro, with a PB of 10.05 and a SB of 10.15, was the world number one U20 men's 100m runner last season and is also among the top five U20 men's 100m runners this season.
Being ignored by such a player...
Ye Minghao smiled softly. Well, it turned out not to be very pleasant.
But this unhappiness cannot bring him any changes. What he really needs is to use this "unpleasant" competitive spirit to allow himself to go one step further in the World Youth Championship - one step further.
***
In the live commentary room of Jigu Video, as the second group of athletes in the men's 100m preliminaries appeared, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming also shifted the topic to Ye Minghao.
"Dear audience, the Chinese athlete in lane seven is one of the two young men's 100-meter runners sent by our country this time, 16-year-old Ye Minghao from China's G Province!"
"Yes." Zhou Jiming continued, "Speaking of which, the team sent by our country to the World Youth Championship this time should have the most U18 athletes among all the participating teams, especially in the men's 100m and 200m events... The average age of our three contestants is no more than 16 years old!"
As soon as Zhou Jiming said this, a burst of "hahahaha" suddenly broke out on the public screen in the live broadcast room.
[Isn’t that right?] Su Yu was 15 years old, Zhou Yuang was 15 years old, and Ye Minghao was 16 years old. Their average age was less than 16 years old. 】
After laughing, Tian Ruhui also took over the conversation with a smile on his face, and then he changed the subject and said, "Although there is no advantage in age, the performance of Su Yu and Jiang Yuan has proved that age is not a problem. I also believe that whether it is Su Yu, Ye Minghao, or Zhou Yuang in the men's 200m event, they will definitely show their best condition to face the competition in front of them."
The two commentators were very adept at mobilizing the emotions and atmosphere of the game. As soon as they finished speaking, the starter's whistle sounded in the stadium. All the players had already stood behind their starting blocks, ready to start the race. Comments of "Come on Ye Minghao" also appeared in the live broadcast room.
After all eight contestants on the field took their positions, in the live broadcast room of Jigu Video, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming also introduced the personal information of the eight contestants from the second to the ninth lane to the audience in the live broadcast room one by one.
It is not difficult to hear from the results introduced by the two people that, in fact, if the quality of opponents in a single round is considered, the strength of this group of players is stronger than that of Su Yu's group.
After all, Fukushima Takitaro's PB of 10.05 seconds is already the best among all the competitors, and he is also the one with the best personal best in the 100 meters in this World Youth Championships.
In addition to Fukushima Takitaro, there are four other athletes in this group whose PBs are higher than Ye Minghao. Among them, in addition to Fukushima Takitaro, there is another athlete from Australia who broke his PB this season, bringing his personal best in history to 10.15 seconds, which is the same as Fukushima Takitaro's season best result this season.
Among the other two contestants, one scored 10.27 seconds and the other scored less than 10.40 seconds.
In the live broadcast room of Jigu Video, a track and field fan who had seen the grouping of the World Youth Championships before couldn't help but sigh: [Ye Minghao's grouping should be regarded as the death group of the men's 100m preliminaries of this World Youth Championships, right? 】
It doesn't mean that Ye Minghao has no hope of advancing in this group. After all, even if he fails to finish in the top three and advance directly, he can still strive for the qualification to advance as a substitute among the top six remaining players.
But if it is the latter, it will definitely have a certain impact on the players' psychological pressure and mentality.
Of course, some people also hope that Ye Minghao's opponent will perform poorly, but they don't know whether it is affected by the first group of preliminaries. It is clearly just a preliminaries at this time, but these players on the field have obviously shown a more serious look.
Experienced track and field fans can tell at a glance that this preliminary round is going to be really difficult.
As many people have seen, when the starter on site gave the command 'ready' and then fired the starting gun in his hand, the group of men's 100m preliminaries started almost at the same time, and the race began!
For Ye Minghao, he knew deeply that in such a group, if he could not give his all, then what awaited him might be direct elimination in the preliminaries.
He doesn't want to come all the way to Finland and get eliminated after just one round of preliminaries!
When he heard the starting gun and started running, the only belief in his mind was - go all out!
***
In the players' exit passage, Su Yu was a little slow in leaving because he was hugged by Devon Chambers for a party of excitement at the end of the previous game. He had not yet reached the lounge where the Chinese team was. When he saw the start of the second group of preliminaries on the live TV on the wall of the passage, Su Yu simply stopped and watched Ye Minghao's game first.
Since Devon Chambers was still in a state of ecstasy and dancing wildly, no one knew what was wrong with him, but he had to follow Su Yu. So after seeing Su Yu stop, Devon Chambers also stopped and looked up at the TV screen that Su Yu was watching.
"Oh, Rose, is it your teammate who started the game?"
Since the end of the game, Devin Chambers has been calling Su Yu "Little Rose" almost all the time. Later, he even used the outrageous name "Rose Angel". Su Yu wanted to resist before, but after hearing the latter part, Su Yu only felt that Devin Chambers's devilish voice pierced his ears. Also, compared with the more shameful name "Rose Angel", "Little Rose" seemed not unacceptable to him.
Thinking of this, Su Yu couldn't help but say to himself in his heart - you have fallen.
The 'fallen' Su Yu didn't bother to pay attention to Chambers, but focused on watching the live game scene on the TV in front of him. Just a few seconds after the start of the game, Fukushima Takitaro and Australia's Zane Blanco had already clearly gained an advantage on the field.
These two runners have very strong future strength, excellent explosive power, and outstanding pushing and stretching ability in the starting and accelerating stages. Their advantages are almost established in the starting and accelerating stages.
Compared with them, Ye Minghao on the seventh path did not seem to have any advantage, but Su Yu could see that Ye Zi's performance was good!
He was in lane seven, next to Zane Blanco in lane six, but he was not disrupted by Zane Blanco's rhythm in the initial burst phase, and he maintained his own rhythm steadily.
Su Yu knew that some players were able to keep up with their opponents' rhythm after being led by their opponents, and thus give better performances than before.
Just like Devin Chambers who was carried away by his rhythm in today's game.
But this situation does not apply to every athlete. In a large number of cases, athletes whose rhythm is carried away will eventually have their own rhythm disrupted, resulting in a result that is far worse than their previous performance.
For Ye Minghao, maintaining a steady pace and running to his limit is definitely better than following Zane Blanco's pace.
On the field, Ye Minghao seemed to be mediocre compared to Zane Blanco and Fukushima Takitaro, but he was very stable throughout the race, especially in the middle running stage, Ye Minghao maintained his maximum speed very well. When another Dutch player who was originally in third place began to show obvious physical exhaustion and slowed down, Ye Minghao steadily maintained his speed and rhythm.
Finally, in the last 20 meters, Ye Minghao successfully overtook the Dutch player and crossed the finish line in third place in the group at the last moment!
“Great job!!!”
In the live broadcast room of Jigu Video, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming cheered in surprise when they saw Ye Minghao cross the line with the third place in the group.
This was indeed a situation they had not anticipated before the game.
After all, in this preliminary group which can be called the death group, there are four players whose PB is better than Ye Minghao, so in the minds of many people, as long as Ye Minghao can get the fourth place in the group, it will be a good performance.
Unexpectedly, Ye Minghao actually won the third place.
The reason was clearly seen by Su Yu, who was standing in front of the TV in the backcourt - just like the Dutch player who was originally ahead of Ye Minghao, his lane was next to Fukushima Takitaro. This player from the Netherlands was definitely stronger than Ye Minghao in terms of strength, but he was disrupted by Fukushima Takitaro's rhythm in the initial burst, and he did not have enough energy to maintain his speed in the middle and late stages, so he slowed down significantly in the final sprint.
This is a very obvious control group compared with Ye Minghao.
Obviously, the two senior commentators Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming also saw the problem and finally said with emotion: "It can be seen that the final result of a player in a game is not only related to the player's own strength, but also has a great relationship with the player's personal state, mentality and performance."
Just like in the game just now, in addition to the Dutch player, there was another player whose PB was better than Ye Minghao. Because of his nervous state, he obviously failed to show his strength. In the end, he only ranked sixth in the group and almost missed the semi-finals.
After watching Ye Minghao's performance in the preliminary round, Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief and continued walking towards the Chinese team's backcourt lounge.
However, as Su Yu was walking in the backcourt passage, Devon Chambers beside him was still giving him some inexplicable praises. Even because the Chinese team and the British team's lockers were not in the same direction, Devon Chambers still followed Su Yu at a fork in the road where they should obviously diverge.
Su Yu:……?
Su Yu finally couldn't help it and asked him, "Why are you still following me?"
Daven Chambers, a big, silly man who was almost a head taller than Su Yu, first showed a very bright smile: "Oh, my lovely little rose, does this mean that you care about me?"
Su Yu: “…”
Su Yu had a blank expression on his face and turned around to leave.
Devin Chambers finally put away his silly smile and scratched his head awkwardly: "Well, although this is not the behavior of a gentleman... But, Little Rose, I'm lost. Do you know how to get to the British team's lounge?"
Su Yu: “…”
Although the backcourt of the Latina Stadium seemed to be more complicated than the backcourt passages of half the stadiums, Su Yu had never expected that one day his opponent would say to him - I'm lost, can you take me home (crossed out) back to the British team's backcourt lounge?
Although Daven Chambers is more silly than Zhou Yuang, this British player has blond hair, blue eyes and a pair of droopy puppy eyes, which he uses to act pitiful.
It’s also very useful.
In the end, Su Yu was silent for two seconds, and still accompanied Devin Chambers to the British team's backcourt lounge with him pretending to be pitiful.
When Devin Chambers knocked on the door of the British team's lounge, Su Yu was about to leave. However, after the British players came out, Devin Chambers excitedly introduced them to the players: "Hey! Look! This is my lucky angel!!"
At this moment, Su Yu's ears couldn't help but turn red again. In order to escape such an outrageous and shameful scene, he resolutely ran away despite the attempts of Devon Chambers and the British players in the British team's lounge to keep him.
While escaping, Su Yu rarely warned himself in his heart - he must stay away from the guys from the British team in the future!
***
When Su Yu finally returned to the Chinese team's backcourt lounge after a circle, Ye Minghao had also returned to the lounge. After seeing Su Yu, he waved to him with a bright smile.
As for Jiang Yuan, he has not returned to the lounge yet because the long jump group A competition has not yet ended.
"Xiaoyu, you're back?"
Ye Minghao usually looks a bit like Jiang Yuan and rarely smiles so outwardly. But seeing his bright smile at this moment, Su Yu also knows that Ye Minghao is in a good mood.
So Su Yu also said "congratulations" to Ye Minghao very seriously - of course he deserves congratulations. In the previous game, Ye Minghao seemed inconspicuous, but in the end he not only won the third place in the group and the last direct qualifying spot, but also ran a good result of 10.36 seconds, breaking his personal best in history.
This result also allowed Ye Minghao to leap into the top ten Chinese men's 100m athletes this season.
Also because of the appearance of Su Yu and Ye Minghao, two U18 players have suddenly appeared among the top ten players in the Chinese men's 100m season. It can be said that if the existence of Zheng Tianxi and Feng Chuming is the current expectation of track and field fans for the men's 100m event, then the appearance of Su Yu and Ye Minghao has further boosted the confidence of track and field fans in the future of China's 100m.
Ye Minghao listened to Su Yu's congratulations with a smile on his face. After rubbing Su Yu's head, he urged Su Yu to lie down on the massage bed first to receive relaxation massage from the Chinese team's masseur.
At this moment, after the men's 100m preliminaries in the morning, the first day's schedule for both of them, including Jiang Yuan, was over.
Overall, the schedule for the first day is relatively easy. After the first day, they will have plenty of time to rest from noon today until the start of the game tomorrow night.
In fact, this is also the reason why many players, including Su Yu, dare to sprint harder in the preliminary stage - because they will have more sufficient rest time.
But even so, most athletes will not choose to run too hard in the preliminaries. After all, physical fitness is one thing and condition is another.
If they run out of form and exhaust their energy in the preliminaries, then in the semifinals, which require them to maintain their form and go all out to qualify for the finals, they will most likely not be able to run their best results because their energy has been exhausted.
In short, in the preliminary stage, the players who rush have their reasons, and the players who don’t rush usually have their own concerns. It all depends on the different strategic choices of different players.
But the ease of the first day of competition does not mean that the subsequent competitions will be easy.
Especially for an athlete like Su Yu who is almost certain to advance to the finals, tomorrow night's men's 100m semi-finals and finals will be a real test.
Yes, tomorrow night, which is the second day of the World Youth Championships, the men's 100m semi-finals and finals will be concentrated in the evening session of tomorrow. The start times of the competitions are 5:50 pm and 8:05 pm on July 16, local time in Tampere.
That is to say, there is only 2 hours and 15 minutes between the men's 100m semi-final and final tomorrow night.
5:50 is only the start time for the first group of the men's 100m semi-finals. According to the selection of Su Yu's semi-final groups, the semi-final group he belongs to may not officially start until 5:55 or 6:05.
Calculating the exit time after the semi-finals and the warm-up time before the final starts at 8:05, assuming that Su Yu successfully advances from the semi-finals to the finals, then between the two games, Su Yu will most likely have less than an hour and a half of rest and recovery time.
With such a short time, I need to get myself back to my best condition for the finals...
Ye Minghao didn’t know whether Su Yu could do it, but if it were him, he would probably not be able to do it.
Thinking of this, the excitement of advancing successfully in the preliminaries just now subsided a little - although he was lucky enough to advance to the semi-finals, the "obstacles" in front of him have become stronger. With his current strength, it may be a bit difficult to successfully advance to the finals tomorrow night.
After thinking about it, Ye Minghao temporarily put aside these annoying questions in his mind and asked Su Yu another question: "Xiao Yu, did you see the performance of Naoto Takahashi of the Japanese team just now?"
Naoto Takahashi was in the fourth group of today's preliminaries. At that time, Su Yu was sending Devon Chambers back to the British team's lounge, so the live broadcast on TV did not continue.
Knowing that Su Yu had not paid attention to Takahashi Naoto's competition, Ye Minghao did not intend to keep him in suspense, but directly said: "He just appeared in the fourth group of the preliminaries, and finally won the first place in the group with a score of 10.27, and directly advanced."
Regarding Naoto Takahashi of the Japanese team, since he and Su Yu both hold the WU18B record, Ye Minghao and the others are quite familiar with Naoto Takahashi, and they also know that this Japanese player has said that he will refresh the WU18B this season.
During the preliminaries, Ye Minghao could clearly see that Takahashi Naoto was sprinting with all his strength, probably wanting to take advantage of his better physical strength and condition in the preliminaries to sprint for his own best result. Unfortunately, his final result in this group was only 10.27 seconds, far inferior to Su Yu's performance in the first group of the preliminaries.
And anyone who pays attention can see that Naoto Takahashi was already sprinting as hard as he could in the fourth group race just now, but Su Yu in the first group of preliminaries actually still had some strength left.
Therefore, after the fourth group of preliminaries ended, Naoto Takahashi was obviously not satisfied with his results.
After hearing Ye Minghao's introduction, Su Yu did not perfunctorily listen and nodded.
This information may seem ordinary, but it is meaningful to him. For example, it can be judged that Naoto Takahashi's performance in the preliminary stage was not ideal, so he may be more aggressive in the semi-finals and will be more proactive in pursuing better results during the competition.
It wouldn't matter if he was not in the same semi-final group as Naoto Takahashi in the semi-finals, but if he was in the same semi-final group as Naoto Takahashi in the semi-finals, he might have to consider how to face his opponent in this competitive state.
While Su Yu was lying on the massage bed and receiving muscle relaxation from the masseur, he chatted with Ye Minghao casually. After a while, the door of the lounge was opened again, and Jiang Yuan, who had finished the men's long jump Group A qualifying competition, also returned to the lounge.
In the morning's preliminaries and qualifying rounds, all three of them advanced smoothly, which is definitely good news for the Chinese team. The only uncertainty now is whether Bu Cunzhou can successfully qualify in the men's long jump Group B qualifying round.
Thinking of this, the three of them turned on the live TV at the Latina Stadium in the lounge. The live broadcast at this moment happened to be the men's long jump Group B event.
In today's AB grouping of the men's long jump event, the average strength of the players in Group B is stronger than that of Group A. Therefore, Bu Cunzhou was obviously under a lot of pressure when he was in the rest area on the field. However, this teammate who looked like a good guy was quite resistant to pressure. Although the pressure was huge, he finally held on.
Among the three jumps in the qualifying round, he only made a mistake in one jump and failed to get a result. In the remaining two attempts, he jumped out of 7.34 meters and 7.58 meters respectively. Finally, with the score of 7.58 meters, he advanced to the final men's long jump final.
After confirming Bu Cunzhou's final result, Su Yu and the other two were quite happy - the four people who participated in the preliminaries in the morning have now advanced to the next round of competition!
This is really very good news!
After Bu Cunzhou returned to the backcourt lounge, Su Yu and the other two were the first to congratulate him. Bu Cunzhou was also very happy. After thanking Su Yu and the other two with a smile, he congratulated and praised their performance one by one.
Although Bu Cunzhou was very nervous before the game started, he still paid attention to the performance of several of his teammates on the field, and was greatly encouraged after seeing their performance. After all, his teammates were still very young, and they were able to achieve such good results on the field with a steady mentality. As for him, as the "big brother" among the four, would he perform abnormally due to excessive nervousness?
It was with this mentality that Bu Cunzhou finally managed to grit his teeth and withstand the pressure of the last attempt on his third try, successfully jumping out a score of 7.58 meters and successfully getting the opportunity to advance as a substitute.
At this point, Bu Cunzhou smiled sheepishly: "Come to think of it, I should thank you."
"Oh, by the way, I also want to thank you, Xiaoyu, and Yuanzi, your classmates - they cheered for me in the audience before my last jump."
It is hard to describe the feeling of having audiences from your own country cheering for you in a foreign country.
At least Bu Cunzhou never thought that in addition to his teammates and coaches, he would also see ordinary audiences from his own country in the audience seats - even if these audiences did not come specifically for him, but at that moment their hearts to cheer for him were sincere.
With this sincere wish - Bu Cunzhou thought, this was also the important reason why he was finally able to muster up the courage and firm his faith.
Speaking of this, Su Yu remembered that just after the game, because Devon Chambers was so noisy, he almost forgot that Zhong Wen and others had also come to the game.
He then asked Jiang Yuan: "Brother, do you know where Zhong Wen and the others are staying and have they arranged their schedule?"
Jiang Yuan smiled and nodded, "Well, I contacted Zhong Wen and the others just after the game. They hired a special tour guide. There will be no problem with the itinerary. Don't worry."
Su Yu thought for a moment and said, "Brother, can we treat them to a meal?"
Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "We are in the competition period now. If we invite them to dinner, I'm afraid we can only watch them eat, which is even more uncomfortable."
At this point, Jiang Yuan showed his phone and said, "Zhong Wen also sent me a message just now, telling us to concentrate on the game and not to worry about them. They are here to cheer us on. We shouldn't burden us by having them here. That would be their fault."
Jiang Yuan smiled and said to Su Yu, "Zhong Wen said that as long as they see us achieve good results, their trip will be worth it - well, he just added that it was worth it after watching the preliminaries this morning, and the rest of the games will be their profit."
After hearing so much from Jiang Yuan's retelling, Su Yu also understood that Zhong Wen and his classmates, including the uncles and aunts who came to watch their competition, not only considered cheering for them, but also considered not putting pressure on them.
Thinking of this, Su Yu blinked and suddenly said seriously: "I will play the game seriously."
Although he takes every game seriously, he thinks that this time, he will be more serious - for example, Naoto Takahashi of the Japanese team has always wanted to break WU18B and has publicly called on the media many times for this.
Su Yu thought, maybe he could be a little more "high-profile".
Therefore, after the national team's massage teacher finished massaging him to relax him, Su Yu took out his mobile phone and posted a new message on Weibo -
Su Yu V: [Thank you all for coming to cheer for me. My next new goal is the new WU18B. 】

Ever since the day she became a fan of Su Yu, You Xiaomeng has been following Su Yu’s Weibo.
But perhaps because he is an athlete, or perhaps because of Su Yu's personality, he doesn't like to post on Weibo very much. He will only go online to repost relevant Weibo content when the official Weibo account of the national track and field team posts a Weibo, or when there is an obvious related Weibo task.
Therefore, fans like You Xiaomeng, who are fans of Su Yu just for fun or because of his good looks, always feel very disappointed when they see Su Yu’s Weibo - boy, please don’t waste your good looks, okay? Isn’t it nice to take some selfies during daily training? Let mommy see you sweat, shashasha.
(.
But probably because Su Yu saw too many of these embarrassing remarks in the comment section, he posted on Weibo less frequently.
It's easy to imagine that, that's because there are too many Su Xiaoyu fans who speak in flowery terms - after all, that's Su Xiaoyu who would blush when asked 'Can I call you baby'!
In short, because there is so little content on Su Yu’s personal Weibo, and he has kept it visible for half a year, there is now almost no grass growing on Su Yu’s Weibo.
You Xiaomeng and other fans have learned their lesson now. If they want to lick the baby's face, they can't do so in the comment section. They have to hide secretly and find a base to lick the baby's face. As for the comment section of the baby on Weibo - of course they have to arm it with all kinds of glorious and righteous comments, so as not to let the baby discover the "ugly faces" of these fans.
It’s a pity that although they tried hard to maintain the comment section, the real person basically did not speak on Weibo due to training, competitions and other reasons.
Nowadays, Su Yu’s fans have been calling out in resentment under his Weibo every day - Son, have you forgotten your Weibo account and password?
You Xiaomeng and her roommates are such 'sad fans', but today, she habitually checked the Weibo homepage, and saw an almost impossible name in the special attention!
She screamed, "Baby posted on Weibo!"
"What what?"
Her roommate immediately poked her head out from the table - they had just finished watching Su Yu's World Youth Championship preliminaries match, and her roommate was currently recording and editing the video. When she heard You Xiaomeng's voice, she immediately turned around, then quickly took out her phone and refreshed it. As expected, she saw Su Yu's Weibo.
The two were so excited at the moment that they didn't pay attention to what Su Yu posted for a moment. It was only after they saw the content of Su Yu's Weibo the next second that You Xiaomeng and her roommate took a breath together.
"…SOS, baby, is this what we think it means?"
Her roommate also looked tense: "It seems so!"
"After all... Xiaoyu is now one of the holders of WU18B. If we talk about the next target, it can only be a new target, which can only be..."
Refresh WU18B!
Damn!
What's going on!
Their baby hasn't posted on Weibo for years, so how come it's such a big deal now that she posts?
It’s not that they think Su Yu cannot challenge WU18B. After all, in today’s live broadcast, both commentators Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming said that with Su Yu’s current state, he is likely to refresh his personal best during the World Youth Championship - this is a bit euphemistic, but Su Yu’s personal best is WU18B, doesn’t that mean Su Yu has a chance to refresh WU18B?
But that’s one thing and what the commentator said is what the commentator said. If Su Yu said it himself, wouldn’t he be putting himself on the spot? !
You Xiaomeng and the others took a look at the complete Weibo content and quickly guessed it - Su Yu wanted to give his classmates a better viewing experience because his classmates followed him to Tampere, Finland to watch the game.
After coming to this conclusion, You Xiaomeng and her roommates thought that "the baby is so cute and the baby's heart is so soft", but at the same time they were anxious in their hearts.
After all, since they became fans of Su Yu, they didn’t do nothing, but seriously learned a lot of knowledge related to track and field and competitive sports - no matter which star they chase, they are serious!
After carefully understanding the pressure and cruelty of competitive sports, they felt more deeply the level of Su Yu's talent.
It can be said that all track and field fans in the country are currently paying attention to Su Yu’s every performance.
Competitive sports are full of uncertainties, and even the most talented athletes may make mistakes.
Although they are reluctant to consider this possibility, they must acknowledge its existence - just like the Dutch player in today's game, who obviously has good strength, but lost the qualification to advance directly, and finally advanced to the semi-finals based on his performance.
In this situation, Su Yu publicly stated that he wanted to strive for WU18B. This is certainly big news that can excite track and field fans, but what if Su Yu made a mistake in the next game and ultimately failed to achieve it?
The two of them were extremely anxious here. After refreshing their Weibo and the Su Yu fan group they had created, they soon discovered that they were not the only ones who were anxious. Many fans were excited about Su Yu's speech, but were also anxious about the two consecutive semi-finals and finals tomorrow night.
Oh, yes - the game that Su Yu will face tomorrow is even two games with only less than an hour and a half of rest time between the semi-final and the final!
Thinking of this, You Xiaomeng and the others couldn't help but become more anxious.
Unlike You Xiaomeng and other mom fans and sister fans, the first reaction of track and field fans after seeing Su Yu’s declaration was excitement, pure excitement!
How many years?
Perhaps because Chinese people are inherently reserved, there are very few athletes in China who openly declare that they want to challenge the world record - or even if they do, they will only state their goals after being asked about it in a reporter's interview.
And Su Yu in front of us made his announcement on Weibo in such a simple and straightforward manner, as if simply telling everyone - I am very grateful to my classmates for coming to watch my game, so I decided to challenge the world U18 record.
At this moment, no words seem to be able to describe the power of this short sentence.
Track and field fans couldn't help but feel excited about Su Yu's speech - because after all these years, Su Yu is still the first Chinese athlete to be able to reach the world's top level in this event!
Even though this seems to be just a U18 record, it is something that the Chinese team has never had before!
With such excitement, track and field fans left comments on Su Yu's Weibo to support and cheer for him. At the same time, when these track and field fans were excited, someone released a news clip of a Japanese reporter interviewing Naoto Takahashi.
In this news, Naoto Takahashi also announced that he will go all out in the upcoming semi-finals and finals for the new WU18B.
Although it was unintentional between the two, at almost the same time, Su Yu and Takahashi Naoto, the two current WU18B record holders for the men's 100 meters, both made their own challenge declarations!
The speeches of the two have undoubtedly become a declaration of war from a distance!
All of a sudden, a new topic emerged on both Weibo and Japanese Twitter - #Chinese Wolf Son VS Japanese Takahashi Naoto#, #A new WU18B may be born? ! #
Everyone is beginning to look forward to it - who will eventually get the WU18B, which has not yet been born? !
