Chapter 189
“Cross the finish line!!”
The moment Tian Ruhui saw Su Yu cross the finish line successfully, he jumped up excitedly.
"Second! Su Yu successfully qualified for the men's 400m sprint semi-finals with the second place in the group!!"
Second in the group, successfully advanced!
Although this was a result that everyone had expected from the beginning, after seeing the final ranking, many people still jumped up in excitement!
After all, in this group, there are not only the 'Mongod' Amon Kenoshi, but also top players like Adam Gibson. In addition, several players from Jamaica, Belgium and the Bahamas are also strong players.
Many people originally thought that as long as Su Yu could successfully advance in this group, it would not matter what place he advanced in, or even if he advanced as a substitute.
But Su Yu still relied on his outstanding abilities and won the second place in this group!
When Su Yu successfully overtook Adam again in the last 30 meters, all the spectators who were watching the game felt as if their scalps had exploded at that moment, and their excitement could no longer be suppressed!
"Su Yu!!!"
"Su Yu is awesome!!!"
Han Yiqing and several others who were watching the game at the scene could no longer control their emotions at this time. They waved the national flag in ecstasy in the direction of Su Yu in the audience.
People like Guo Debiao, Sui Feng and Lao Hu, who were quite emotional, had already become hoarse in their voices.
Obviously, Su Yu's performance on the court just now made them completely unable to suppress their excitement.
“That’s awesome, really awesome!!”
Guo Debiao looked at Su Yu who had successfully crossed the finish line, and shouted to Han Yiqing beside him: "In the last 50 meters, I felt like I couldn't breathe at all."
Just as Tian Ruhui and the others thought, this was indeed the first time they saw Su Yu being overtaken by his opponents in the final stage.
Even though they knew that Su Yu had excellent ability in the later stages and that he might have another burst of energy in the last few dozen meters, when they saw Adam surpass Su Yu, Guo Debiao and the others subconsciously tensed their minds.
After all, competitive sports events have always been full of uncertainty. Just because you have the ability does not mean you will be able to perform at your best in the competition.
Just like the Kenyan star Geoffrey Capello in the first group of the 400m preliminaries - he clearly had the strength to make it to the finals, but was eliminated in the first shot of the preliminaries, ending his journey to the Tokyo Olympics.
Therefore, every fan who watches track and field events for a long time will not underestimate any game or any accident.
No one knows whether a transcendence that seems very simple at the moment may be the opportunity that determines your ultimate destiny.
Fortunately, although Adam briefly surpassed Su Yu, Su Yu still successfully overtook Adam and took the second place in the group!
***
In the live audience seats, the Chinese team staff and coaching staff sitting in the Chinese player area had already cheered.
"good!!!"
"Su Yu did a great job!!!"
When Liu Qinlong saw Su Yu overtake Adam again at the last moment, he jumped up from where he was and waved his arms happily.
Not only Liu Qinlong, but also Zheng Sheng, Sun Gaoshu and others, all had happy smiles on their faces as they looked at Su Yu who had successfully crossed the finish line in the field.
Even though we already knew that this was a result that Su Yu could possibly achieve, we also already knew that even if Su Yu lost to Adam, he could still advance by ranking third in the group.
But in the Olympic arena, such transcendence is still the most exciting moment!
——Even if the goal has been achieved, you still keep pursuing it.
This represents the determination to never retreat and always move forward.
This quality that Su Yu displays on the court is also the reason why the competitions he participates in are always exciting.
In the audience, Pei Dingshan's heart softened involuntarily as he watched the young man successfully cross the finish line, then support himself with his hands on his knees and breathe slightly at the finish line.
He saw that Su Yu was too excited in this game again, but since last season's World Championships, he personally adjusted Su Yu's schedule, spanning the entire winter training period and the season before the 2020 Olympics.
In fact, this kind of schedule inhibition would originally result in Su Yu being overly excited after entering the Olympic arena.
So in fact, Su Yu's performance in the 100m and 400m preliminaries was within Pei Dingshan's expectations - this was a possible result that he knew would occur when he adjusted the schedule for Su Yu.
And in Pei Dingshan's calculations, it can be considered an acceptable "side effect".
Compared with this "side effect", Su Yu's current overall condition is not actually too much due to the long-term accumulation and adjustment of physical energy.
While watching Su Yu on the field, Pei Dingshan silently calculated Su Yu's subsequent games and physical energy distribution in his mind.
After Zheng Sheng looked back and saw Pei Dingshan's expression, he pointed at him and said to Liu Qinlong beside him: "Did you see that? Coach Pei's calm state - what does it mean to be a great general?"
Liu Qinlong glanced back at Pei Dingshan's expression, then turned to Zheng Sheng and rolled his eyes: "Alright, Old Zheng, I'll wait for the 200m group race to start the day after tomorrow to see if you, Old Zheng, can also be as 'general-like' as the young Coach Pei."
After listening to Liu Qinlong's words, Zheng Sheng coughed dryly and said nothing.
He is a family member and knows his own business. It’s okay for him to talk to Liu Qinlong now, but when the 200-meter race really starts, he will definitely be the most nervous one.
Liu Qinlong looked at Zheng Sheng and sneered twice.
As for the two of them, when the competition for their respective events started, they were both equally cowardly, so no one should laugh at the second brother.
***
Meanwhile, in the domestic Jigu video live broadcast room, Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming had just calmed down from their excitement.
It was really because Su Yu and Adam's overtaking and counter-overtaking in the final stage were so exciting that they were unable to suppress their excitement for a moment.
At this moment, the players on the field have finished their games, and the two of them can finally calm down a little.
Of course, while calming down, the two were also reviewing the wonderful performances of the players in this game.
"'Meng Shen' is worthy of being called 'Meng Shen'. Amon Kenoshi is already 35 years old, but his condition is still better than many young players - especially as he gets older, his skills have become more delicate, and his control of his overall rhythm is also very good."
"Always maintaining good physical condition, an excellent logistics support team, a technical level that continues to break through and grow with age, as well as a strong psychological quality and rich competition experience, these are the reasons why the Botswana veteran is still in excellent form at the age of 35."
"Yes." Zhou Jiming also sighed: "In the game just now, Amon Kenoshi showed us that he is still in excellent form as a veteran."
At this point, Zhou Jiming changed the subject and said with a smile: "But the young players also performed very well in this game."
Zhou Jiming was talking about Su Yu and the young player Florian from Belgium.
It can be seen that this young player from Belgium has tried his best in the preliminary stage.
As the contestant in the eighth lane, Florian gritted his teeth and followed the pace of Amon Kenoshi in the ninth lane.
Because he knew clearly that when facing a player of Amon Kenoshi's level, if he continued to maintain his overall rhythm, his rhythm would eventually collapse completely.
Florian could only take a gamble at this stage and see if he could keep up with Amon Kenoshi's rhythm.
As it turned out, his bet paid off.
Although he was unable to keep up with Amonkenoshi's rhythm throughout the race, he did not suffer any serious collapse during the entire race. In the end, he crossed the finish line in fourth place in the group, even ahead of Jamaican 400m star Taslik Black who was in the third lane.
***
On the field, when Grenadian star Adam Gibson crossed the finish line, the star from Grenada looked at Su Yu of the Chinese team on the field and finally shook his head in disbelief.
What a scary guy.
Could this be a contestant who is only 17 years old?
And he’s a young 400m athlete from the Chinese team? !
As a world-class 400m champion, Adam Gibson has never taken Chinese 400m sprinters seriously in the past.
China is undoubtedly a sports powerhouse, but the Chinese team still has too little experience in the 400-meter sprint.
Adam once thought that even if he retired, he would never meet a Chinese player who could pose a threat to him.
But obviously, his guess was wrong.
Just this year, right now - when he is still in the golden stage of his career, the Chinese team has produced such a terrifying young player.
After taking a breath, Adam walked over to Su Yu and gave the young player of the Chinese team a hug.
"You're awesome, little one."
Adam looked at Su Yu and said to him, "But next time, in the semi-finals, I won't let my guard down again!"
Su Yu looked at Adam, smiled, and said to him: "Thank you, I will not let my guard down either."
Adam looked at Su Yu and smiled, spreading his hands: "Okay, then we'll see who wins and who loses in the semi-finals!"
Not only Adam, but also 'Mongolian God' Amon Kenoshi, Taslik, Florian and other players came forward to hug or high-five Su Yu.
Most of them knew this talented player from the Chinese team, and several of them had interacted with Su Yu in various competitions in the past.
At first, many people did not think that such a young Su Yu could achieve any outstanding results, but now, with Su Yu's performance in every game in the international arena, it is obvious that he has conquered more and more opponents with his own strength.
After hugging Su Yu, the young Belgian player Florian praised Su Yu: "Hey, my friend, you are really amazing!"
"You can get second place in such a death group!"
Obviously, Florian is also a very cheerful and outgoing person. He looked at Su Yu and said in an extremely exaggerated tone: "My teammates always say that I am too young. I really should let them see what true youth means!"
After expressing his feelings, Florian asked Su Yu: "In the previous race, Meng Shen and you both ran too fast! In the last 100 meters, I felt blood coming out of my throat! What a terrible feeling, my throat felt like it was cut by a knife..."
"Hey, I guess both Mengshen and you have already broken the 45-second mark, right? Or Adam, too?"
Perhaps it was because it was rare to see an opponent younger than himself in the Olympics, Florian chatted with Su Yu endlessly.
Su Yu felt that Florian's voice in his ears seemed to have never stopped. Now recalling Florian during the warm-up phase and before the game... Su Yu remembered that Florian remained silent at that time.
So...are you going to retaliate by releasing now all of your suppressed desire to talk that you had been holding back before the game started?
After the game, Su Yu's mind was rarely clear for a while. Then, after hearing Florian's question, he pointed in the direction of the large electronic screen on site.
When his finger pointed to the large electronic screen on site, a new cheer broke out at the same time - the preliminary results of the men's 400-meter sprint were out! !
Florian asked in shock, "How did you know?" He quickly turned around and looked at the large electronic screen on the sidelines.
Su Yu was actually a little surprised. He originally just wanted to tell Florian that he would know when the results came out.
Thinking of this, Su Yu also turned his head to look in the direction of the large electronic screen on the scene, and saw that it was clearly showing the final results of the men's 400-meter sprint preliminaries -
First place: Amon Kenoshi (Botswana), 44.71 seconds, Q (directly qualified);
Second place: Su Yu (China), 44.79, WU18B (world U18 best result), Q;
Third place: Adam Gibson (Grenada), 44.83, Q;
Fourth place: Florian Paquet (Belgium), 45.01 seconds, PB (personal best);
Fifth place: Taslik Black (Jamaica), 45.19 seconds;
6th place: …
When the Chinese audience saw Su Yu's result of 44.79 seconds, even though they had a premonition, they still burst into enthusiastic screams.
“Ahhhhh! Yudi! Yudi!!”
Not only the Chinese audience cheered, but the Japanese audience at the scene also showed great enthusiasm.
In the Chinese athlete zone, Liu Qinlong waved his fist happily after seeing Su Yu's result - 44.79 seconds! It took 44.80 seconds to open! !
Ever since Su Yu appeared on the 400-meter track and field, the Chinese team's 400-meter results have been sprinting forward like a rocket.
On the side, Zheng Sheng suddenly asked after seeing Su Yu's result: "Hey, Lao Liu, if I remember correctly, the 400-meter record for yellow people should be Japan's 44.77 seconds?"
Hearing Zheng Sheng's question, Liu Qinlong laughed heartily: "Yes! The yellow race record for the 400-meter sprint is Japan's 44.77 seconds!"
"Su Yu's result is only 0.02 seconds away from 44.77 seconds!"
After hearing this, Zheng Sheng laughed heartily: "Old Liu, tell me, in tomorrow's 400m semi-final, does Su Yu have a chance to break the yellow race record for the 400m dash?"
When Liu Qinlong heard Zheng Sheng's question, he laughed and did not answer.
Of course he was looking forward to it, but saying this now would bring some unnecessary pressure to Su Yu.
No need to mention it.
After all, with Su Yu's current growth rate, even if Su Yu cannot break the record in the morning of tomorrow's semi-final, in the near future, this 400-meter yellow race record will definitely belong to China!
Unconsciously, coaches like Liu Qinlong and others have developed strong confidence and good expectations for the future of the Chinese team's sprinting.
These changes have occurred unconsciously, but they undoubtedly demonstrate the thriving development of China's sprinting program.
***
In the domestic Jigu video live broadcast room, after Tian Ruhui and Zhou Jiming announced that Su Yu had once again refreshed the WU18B in the men's 400-meter sprint, the audience in the room became excited again.
[Ahhhhhhhhhhh, Su Yu is awesome! 】
[That's amazing! This group is the most competitive among the first five groups, right? The top three runners all ran under 45 seconds, and the fourth runner's score was 45.01! 】
[As expected of a death group, the intensity of the competition is too terrifying...]
[It's outrageous. If the Belgian player who ranked fourth in this group was placed in the second or third group, he would have been the first in the group and advanced directly! 】
[That's right, but Florian's result cannot be entirely attributed to his own credit. You can know this by listening to the explanations of teachers Tian and Zhou. A large part of Florian's result of 45.01 seconds is due to the credit of 'Meng Shen'. Meng Shen ran freely in this race, and Florian followed Meng Shen's rhythm throughout the whole race, and was led by Meng Shen. 】
In sprint events, it is not common to be 'carried away' by the influence of your opponent, but it is not uncommon.
If you have watched some interviews with sprinters, you can often hear them give answers like "So-and-so's ability was too strong, and I was carried away by his pace."
But this kind of "flying" may not always be a good thing.
Track and field fans on the Internet are still discussing the results of this game, while cheering and screaming for Su Yu's performance.
At this moment, Florian, who saw his final result, jumped up excitedly and turned around to give Su Yu a big hug.
"Great, 45.01 seconds!"
"A new breakthrough, a good start, isn't it?"
After hugging Su Yu excitedly, Florian burst into laughter again: "Hey, my friend, congratulations to you too! 44.79 seconds, a new record - ahaha, I'm so glad that I'm a few years older than you, so I don't have to face the fact that WU18B has become so terrible!"
Adam, who was standing next to him, was about to leave the stage after looking at his own results. He heard what Florian said and complained to the young Belgian player, "...Florian, right? Haven't you ever thought that it's scary that you're already 21 years old and your results are getting further and further away from WU18B?"
Florian: ?
Florian:! !
Obviously, Florian had not thought of such a terrible thing at first, but he thought of it now - you know, his PB was refreshed under the leadership of Meng Shen, but Su Yu was not.
Florian paid attention to Su Yu's 400m PB before the game, and also paid attention to the news released on the official website of the IAAF after Su Yu refreshed the 400m WU18B. The news showed Su Yu's performance improvement record.
Judging from the speed and frequency of Su Yu's performance improvement in the table, his performance in the upcoming 400m semi-final may be able to improve further.
Just like what Adam said - at the age of 21, his personal best record is getting further and further away from WU18B.
What a horrible story.
Florian, who was originally excited, suddenly wilted and hugged Su Yu as if he was about to cry on the spot.
Su Yu:.
Su Yu looked at Florian in silence, feeling that this Belgian friend was like Zhou Yuang's twin, scratching his ear.
Even though he was as autistic as he was, he suddenly felt as if he was very familiar with Florian. So when Florian hugged his shoulders and cried, Su Yu ruthlessly slapped his claws away and threw this large weighted human-shaped sandbag aside.
Florian was about to complain to the ruthless Su Yu, but Su Yu pointed at the staff on the scene and said, "It's time to go."
It's time for the next group of players to take the stage.
Although Florian is Zhou Yuang's 'twin', the speed at which he 'changes his face' is beyond Zhou Yuang's reach.
After noticing the gazes of the on-site staff, he immediately smiled brightly, waved to the staff, and then pulled Su Yu away.
Su Yu looked at Florian who moved so quickly that he even found it difficult to adapt to Florian's amazing speed and performance.
On the way to the backcourt passage, Florian was still talking nonstop. Even though Su Yu was an autistic player, it obviously did not affect the performance of this social phobic player.
In the end, the two separated when they passed the reporter pit. The Belgian reporter stopped Florian, while Liu Yu, Lin Weixiong and others stopped Su Yu.
"Xiao Yu! Congratulations!"
The first words Liu Yu, Lin Weixiong and others say when they see Su Yu now are basically "congratulations". There's nothing they can do about it, the child is so promising!
The 100m preliminaries broke the 10-second mark, and the 400m preliminaries were run under 44.80 seconds.
One record after another allowed the whole world to clearly see Su Yu's talent and high growth potential in sprinting.
As usual, Su Yu said "thank you" to the two of them, and then accepted a brief interview with Liu Yu and Lin Weixiong.
In this brief post-match interview, Liu Yu and Lin Weixiong mainly asked Su Yu about his thoughts on today's game and his preparations for tonight's 100m semi-final.
"In today's game, I mainly felt the fierce competition in the Olympic arena. Whether it was Adam, Amon, Florian, Taslik, etc., they were all very strong opponents."
Su Yu reviewed the personal results of his opponents on the field and said frankly: "In fact, if we want to discuss the best personal historical results, then there is a big gap between me and Amon, Adam, and Taslik. But in the game just now, Adam and Taslik may not have played their best results and conditions."
"My victory this morning was still partly due to luck - after all, it was the Olympic preliminaries, and some athletes hadn't yet reached their best form."
"I think in the upcoming semi-finals, we will be able to truly experience the pressure and feeling of competing against these world-class players."
Liu Yu and Lin Weixiong were both deeply moved when they heard Su Yu's answer - apart from anything else, the fact that Su Yu had achieved such great results while always remaining calm and humble was something that many people could learn from.
Just after Liu Yu and Lin Weixiong finished expressing their admiration for "Su Yu's answers today were quite a lot", the next second, when answering questions about the evening's semi-finals, Su Yu's "usual package" appeared again.
"I hope I can perform better in tonight's men's 100m semi-final and run better than before."
Liu Yu:.
Tell me, this kid, why is he so weak in appreciating praises?
But joking aside, Su Yu has always been very cooperative in interviews, although his occasional cooperation may make people feel a little ridiculous.
After laughing, Liu Yu and Lin Weixiong wished Su Yu good luck in the competition tonight, then waved their hands and told Su Yu to go back and rest quickly.
After all, in addition to the 400m preliminaries in the morning, Su Yu also has the men's 100m semi-finals waiting for him in the evening.
Although the possibility is not high, Liu Yu and Lin Weixiong both secretly hope that Su Yu can make it to the 100-meter final tonight.
Anyway, let’s look forward to the semi-finals first.
***
After completing the interview and urine test, Su Yu returned to the Chinese team's locker room. The staff were already ready and took him to quickly relax and recover his muscles.
After Su Yu completed a whole set of relaxation and adjustment in the lounge, the national team staff came directly to the lounge with a thermos bucket and asked Su Yu to eat in the lounge before returning to the Olympic Village to rest.
Of course Su Yu did not refuse the arrangement made by the national team staff. While he was eating lunch, Pei Dingshan and others had already returned to the backcourt lounge and asked about Su Yu's condition.
"Your performance this morning was outstanding. Now take a good rest. There will be a tough battle waiting for you in the evening!"
Sun Gaoshu patted Su Yu on the shoulder.
As the head coach of the national team's sprint coaching staff, his ability to withstand pressure is certainly better than Zheng Sheng and Liu Qinlong. However, Su Yu's head coach Pei Dingshan was right next to him, so Sun Gaoshu didn't say much. He simply encouraged Su Yu and let him have a good meal and rest.
In the afternoon, the national team originally wanted to arrange for Su Yu to return to the Olympic Village to rest, but Pei Dingshan discussed with Su Yu and decided to forget it. It would be nice to just rest in the backcourt lounge.
After all, it takes two or three hours to travel between the Olympic Village and the venues, and the rest conditions in the Olympic Village are only average.
It was already a little after 1 o'clock when Su Yu finished his meal, and it was a little after 2 o'clock when he returned to the Olympic Village. The athletes in the Olympic Village had basically finished their rest at this time, and the environment was a bit noisy. Su Yu might not be able to rest well, so he might as well take a nap in the Chinese team's lounge.
Hearing Pei Dingshan's words, Sun Gaoshu and the others couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Not to mention other things, things like cardboard beds can be used to overcome this problem, but the sound insulation effect of cardboard walls is too poor, and the noise problem really affects the players' rest.
Even if there are sponge earplugs, not everyone can get used to wearing them while resting.
After confirming that Su Yu wanted to stay in the lounge to rest, the staff acted quickly and directly found a simple quilt for Su Yu to use on the massage bed.
It's true, the cardboard bed in the Olympic Village is 90cm*200cm in size, and it may not be as comfortable to lie on as a massage bed. After all, a massage bed is not made of cardboard and has a sponge cushion.
After thanking the staff for their help, Su Yu and Pei Dingshan stayed in the Chinese team's lounge at the Tokyo Olympic Stadium for a lunch break in the afternoon.
Su Yu didn’t know if it was an illusion, but it was indeed like Pei Dingshan said, after turning off the lights, the massage bed in the lounge was much more comfortable than the cardboard bed in the Olympic Village.
After he lay down on his massage bed, Su Yu subconsciously glanced at Pei Dingshan who was still sitting next to him: "Aren't you going to rest?"
Pei Dingshan held his notebook, looked up at Su Yu, smiled and said, "I don't need it, you go to sleep."
The quiet environment and Pei Dingshan who was accompanying him in the room.
This long-lost familiar feeling quickly made Su Yu feel sleepy, and he fell into a deep sleep almost soon after he closed his eyes.
Pei Dingshan looked at the pop-up reminder on his mobile phone APP that Su Yu had fallen asleep, smiled and dimmed the screen of his laptop a little bit. At the same time, he called up the group list for tonight's men's 100-meter sprint semi-finals given to each national team by the organizer.
In tonight's men's 100m sprint semi-finals, China's Zheng Tianxi, Feng Chuming and Su Yu all advanced to the semi-finals.
In addition to the Chinese team, all members of the United States and South Africa teams also advanced in the preliminary stage.
In addition, sprint powerhouses such as Britain, Nigeria and Jamaica also had two athletes advance to the semi-finals at the same time.
These world's strongest sprinters in the 100m gathered together will first decide who are the eight fastest runners in the world in the men's semi-finals tonight, and then decide the king of the 100m sprinters in the 100m sprint battle later!
Pei Dingshan was not sure how well Su Yu could perform in tonight's game, but he glanced at Su Yu who was sleeping soundly on the massage bed and smiled slightly.
At least, in this Olympics, Su Yu is no longer as tense as he was in last year's World Championships.
In this Olympics, the pressure on Su Yu is actually greater than in last year's World Championships - because he has already proved himself in last year's World Championships, the audience's expectations of him will naturally become higher.
But it is obvious that although Su Yu could not control his over-excitement well during the two days of competition, his excitement and anticipation for the game also proved that he was not overwhelmed by the pressure of the game.
Pei Dingshan is of course satisfied with Su Yu's current condition.
After taking a look at Su Yu who was sleeping peacefully on the massage bed, Pei Dingshan continued to focus his attention on the men's 100-meter sprint semi-final group list in his hand.
***
At the same time, on China's Weibo and Track and Field Kingdom forums, track and field fans and onlookers are also paying attention to the grouping and schedule of tonight's men's 100-meter sprint semi-finals.
[Feng Chuming is in the first group, Su Yu is in the second group, and Zheng Tianxi is in the third group. This order of appearance... reminds me of the preliminaries of the World Championships last year. 】
【? 】
[During the preliminaries of the World Championships last year, Team Zheng was the second to appear, right? 】
[It's not about who will be the second to appear, but mainly about Feng Chuming who will appear first. Although it's a bit cruel, Feng Chuming's performance has not been very good in the past two seasons, and he may have to wait for the semifinals. 】
After seeing this statement, many onlookers subconsciously wanted to refute it, but many of these onlookers have been watching track and field competitions for a year or two following Su Yu's various hot news searches, so they actually know that what this track and field fan said is not wrong.
In the track and field arena, no one is guaranteed to advance successfully.
Even those who were once powerful may face situations such as false starts and performance mistakes in the preliminaries.
Even if you feel sorry for a player's performance, you can never send that player to the next round based solely on your emotions - this is the cruelest nature of competitive sports.
Competitive sports don't believe in tears.
Some people looked at the discussion about Feng Chuming and sighed: [No matter what, at least in this Tokyo Olympics, Feng Chuming successfully advanced to the semi-finals! Just as Teacher Tian and others said, Feng Chuming has proven his strength.
In China and Asia, he is one of the top 100m runners! 】
After seeing this comment, many people silently gave it a thumbs up.
After the praise, many people turned their attention to Su Yu and Zheng Tianxi.
[Captain Zheng and Emperor Yu, ahhhh, I hope at least one of them can advance to the finals! 】
[If it is Captain Zheng and Emperor Yu, what are the situations of their opponents in the same group? Who has more hope? ? ? 】
Why is who more promising? Didn’t they both advance to the finals together? ! 】
There are all kinds of comments on this topic on Weibo, and on the forum of Track and Field Kingdom, the discussion about "Who has a better chance of advancing to the finals, Su Yu or Zheng Tianxi" is more practical.
What these track and field fans are best at is to come up with various data to prove their point. These data include Zheng Tianxi's performance curves from the 2019 season to the 2020 season, as well as the average scores of each game.
Of course, Zheng Tianxi has a copy of these data, and Su Yu also has a copy.
However, the situations of Zheng Tianxi and Su Yu are actually quite different. Zheng Tianxi is already a veteran in his thirties, and his overall performance has basically reached its peak. But Su Yu is different. Su Yu is really too young. From his performance curve in the past two years, it can be seen that the steep line is skyrocketing all the way.
After the two sets of data were produced, track and field fans were silent after reading them.
However, it can be seen that even though Su Yu's performance has been skyrocketing, his current end point has not yet reached Zheng Tianxi's highest point.
But there is a characteristic of Su Yu's performance - as long as his performance reaches a new height, there will not be a big trough.
Su Yu's performance stability is amazing in the whole world.
Zheng Tianxi's results are actually very stable, but at the same time, Zheng Tianxi's results still lack a breakthrough like Su Yu's.
The reason why everyone was discussing these things was mainly because they were discussing whether Zheng Tianxi and Su Yu would have a chance to break the ten-second mark again in tonight's semi-finals.
You know, this is the Olympic arena.
In yesterday's preliminary round, if you wanted to successfully advance to the semi-finals, you had to run a time of at least 10.15 seconds - of course, this result might seem scary to those who know about it, but a little confusing to those who don't.
But when it came to tonight's semi-finals, everything was different.
After the preliminary rounds, among the 24 athletes who successfully advanced to the semi-finals, only 5 athletes' personal best results did not break the 10-second mark for the 100 meters.
In the semi-finals, a group of players like the one on the field today gathered together to compete for the only 8 final seats - breaking the ten-second mark is the most basic threshold for advancement.
That's why these track and field fans have been wondering, whether it's Zheng Tianxi or Su Yu... in tonight's men's 100m semi-final, can they run under 10 seconds?
The answer to this "can or can't" will determine whether anyone from the Chinese team can successfully advance to the final 100-meter sprint!
