Before the Diamond League race in Oslo, Su Zhe had almost accumulated the Diamond Points needed to enter the Diamond League year-end finals in the three Diamond League races he participated in.
So far, Su Zhe has accumulated 13 diamond points in the men's 100m event in the D country and S city races, and 15 diamond points in the 110m hurdles in the Stockholm and S city races. According to the standards of previous years, such scores are basically enough for him to enter the finals.
The Diamond League in Oslo this time only has the men's 100m event. For Su Zhe, this schedule can be considered a very easy competition.
A few days before the Diamonds Open in Oslo, the coaching staff told Su Zhe to "take good care of himself". You know, the Olympics are approaching, and if he gets injured, it will be a serious loss for the national team and himself.
For athletes, before such a big competition, it is the time when they should be most cautious and restrained. However, maintaining competitive form is also a must for athletes. How to strike a balance between the two is something that coaches and athletes are still struggling to figure out.
As a result, before leaving for Oslo, Su Zhe was still a little hesitant about whether to go all out in this competition.
Just before the start, his father Su Yinsheng said to him with a fierce face: "Go and compete. What is there to think about during the competition? Letting you compete means that you have decided to bear this part of the risk. Be careful, but if you really want to think ahead and behind, you might as well not participate in this competition!"
It was these words that made Su Zhe suddenly laugh.
What his father said is right. If he is really looking ahead and behind and cannot perform to his full potential in this game, then what positive significance will it have on his competitive state if the coaching staff lets him participate in this diamond game?
Although you need to take care of yourself, the correct attitude when facing the competition is to not be afraid of the battle or be cowardly.
After figuring it out, Su Zhe's mood returned to normal.
Since this year, he has participated in more and more competitions, and the overall competitive level of the participants in the competitions is also at the world-class level.
As he participated in more and more high-level competitions, his ability to adapt to the environment and competitions improved, and at the same time, his perception of his own competitive state became more accurate.
Especially in the S City race, after he felt his own pure state more clearly, he had his own thoughts on the coaching staff's praise of his "big tournament qualities".
He roughly guessed that he was easily affected by a heated and confrontational atmosphere, and in such an environment, he was more likely to get excited. At the same time, his competitive and confrontational mentality made him enter a state of active confrontation when he knew he was about to face a top opponent.
If it is a domestic game, the support from his compatriots on the scene is a whole new kind of stimulation for him, and when playing for the national team, the special sense of mission and responsibility will make him enter a state of complete excitement.
Simply put, the hotter and more intense the scene is, the greater the pressure he faces, and the better his condition will be.
After guessing this trait of his own, Su Zhe was at a loss for words for a moment, but it didn't matter. This trait is something that many athletes want to possess but cannot obtain.
After completing their pre-race warm-up while daydreaming, the on-site staff began to guide them to the stadium - the men's 100m event at Oslo Station was about to start.
After thanking the staff for their guidance and greetings, Su Zhe always felt that there were many people staring at him today, which made him a little puzzled, and he wondered if this was just an illusion.
But when he actually stepped onto the court, Su Zhe discovered that this didn't seem to be his illusion?
In the stands around the stadium, some blond-haired, blue-eyed spectators began whistling at him when they noticed him coming on the field. Some of them were holding small Chinese flags and waving them continuously, apparently to cheer for him.
Someone even called out his name very clearly.
"Su! Su!"
Su Zhe was very surprised to hear such shouts from different areas of the stands.
What is happening?
Why does he suddenly have so many foreign supporters?
Not only the spectators in the audience area, but even the French player Adrian who was competing in the same game was looking at him with surprise. He looked him up and down, and finally gave him a thumbs up.
???
Su Zhe tried to hold back, but couldn't help but ask Adrian the question in his mind.
It was Adrian himself who was very surprised by Su Zhe's question.
"Wow, Sue, you didn't know that?" Adrian exaggeratedly spread his hands, "You've become a celebrity on Instagram recently! Many celebrities are jealous of your treatment. You're the man that Victor named as his inspiration!"
Even though he has been in the entertainment industry for two years, Su Zhe still doesn't know much about the foreign fashion circle. It's before the game, and Adrian can't explain too much, so he said he would push the latest gossip to him after the game.
Although he still didn't understand the specific situation, it didn't seem like a big deal, so Su Zhe turned around and threw the question aside.
Put it behind your mind and start adjusting your starting blocks and your own condition.
[Ding, host's competitive status score detection, current competitive status score without buff: 50...60...65...69...72...74...]
After Su Zhe sorted out his emotions and state, the system also silently completed the scoring of Su Zhe's current state in real time - this was also a minor adjustment of the system after the update. During the host event cycle, the voice function was automatically shielded in the background to prevent the appearance of the system voice from affecting Su Zhe's own state.
[Ding, the host has reached the standard number of times in the no-buff competition status rating: 1/3.]
These stupid system prompts handled by themselves in the background did not disturb Su Zhe at all.
When the referee on the scene began to announce "on your marks", Su Zhe, who had already adjusted his own condition, had already squatted on the starting block, ready to start the race.
There are not many strong competitors in this competition. For example, Adrian has not yet broken the 10-second mark in his personal PB. The only real threat to Su Zhe is probably Sandy from Nigeria.
The current individual PB gap between him and Sandy is not big, only 0.03 seconds. In this year's competition, the two can be said to have won and lost against each other.
Not long ago, the scene in the S City race where he lost to Sandy at the last second due to physical exhaustion was still replaying in Su Zhe's mind.
Can he win the game today against Sandy?
Such a thought flashed through Su Zhe's mind, and then excitement gradually began to fill his eyes.
Seeing that all the players were ready, the referee's voice sounded again through the radio.
"Be prepared."
"Bang!"
In just a few seconds, the starting gun sounded, and the athletes attacked together. The battle on the short 100-meter track began at this moment!
At the starting point, no matter it was Su Zhe, Adrian or Sandy, everyone responded by attacking, bursting out their own strength at their fastest speed and rushing forward.
Amid the noisy cheers of the spectators, the athletes' sprints against each other seemed particularly fierce and powerful.
From the start, Su Zhe was in very smooth condition today. He could feel his body was full of strength, and every step he took was light and explosive.
The frequency of his arm swings and steps is coordinated and smooth, allowing him to feel smooth and natural as he moves forward.
This is his performance when his control over himself reaches its peak when he is in good physical condition. At the same time, this also allows him to control his acceleration more effectively during the starting acceleration phase, further shortening the time from starting acceleration to maximum speed.
This is a good start.
This is what Su Zhe thought in his heart when he entered the mid-race stage.
During this period of time, he has spent a lot of energy to improve his physical fitness and physical recovery. Sixty percent of his training throughout the day in the training space was spent on physical fitness improvement.
Now, in sufficient physical condition, not only can he burst into action at the start and then accelerate, but after entering the mid-race stage, he can also effectively resist the fatigue in his body, allowing him to run more freely during the mid-race stage.
From the perspective of the stands, it can be seen that the player from China, Su Zhe, has always had the advantage since the start of today's game.
He appeared to be in an exceptionally relaxed state on the court today.
At the start, Sandy from Nigeria and other runners on the track were able to keep up with him, but after accelerating, he easily opened up a gap of about half a body length between him and Sandy, and the gap never narrowed after that.
The commentator at the scene also expressed surprise at this. After all, compared to Su Zhe, Sandy has been famous longer. However, in today's game, Sandy was firmly crushed behind the Chinese player.
In the live broadcast room of the domestic sports channel, Zhang Jing and Wang Miaochuan's voices were very excited, and they were also very pleased with Su Zhe's performance today.
It should be said that before the Olympics, every competition and every performance of Su Zhe encouraged domestic track and field enthusiasts. He allowed domestic track and field enthusiasts to see the real hope of their country's men's sprinting in this grand event of the Olympics.
If, at the same time last year, track and field enthusiasts were still worrying about whether the domestic men's 100m and 110m hurdles could successfully win a place in the Athletics World Championships.
In just one year, track and field enthusiasts can now hold their heads high, saying that the final lap is no longer the end of the goal and that winning a medal is not completely hopeless!
On the court, the race was halfway through. Su Zhe felt the cheers from the crowd, listened to his heartbeat with every step, and felt the stimulation brought to him by the fatigue of his muscles. He was a little calm in the first half of the race, but as the race was about to enter the final sprint stage, he became more excited.
He swung his arms faster and subconsciously increased the frequency of his legs swinging. His improved physical fitness and body control allowed him to effectively control his body and make such adjustments in the second half of the race.
At the same time, his usual ability to accelerate in the latter stages and the new strength generated within him in the second half of the race made him seem to be riding the wind, and his speed was further increased!
Behind Su Zhe, Sandy, who had competed with him many times, was already accustomed to Su Zhe's irresistible dominance in the final sprint stage.
This kind of power that exploded at the end of the stage could easily make the athletes who were originally closely following Su Zhe feel panic and collapse, and make them feel as if they had run out of energy and were unable to keep up with the rhythm of the athletes in front of them.
Even world-class players like Sandy and Adrian couldn't help feeling a little powerless when facing Su Zhe's super strength in the final stage.
But for Sandy, he has already adapted to this feeling. For him, victory is also what he wants to pursue. Even when facing a strong opponent like Su Zhe, he can't really give up!
It can be clearly seen from the audience area and the camera footage that in the final 30-meter sprint, both Su Zhe and Sandy on the field tried their best.
Su Zhe's eyes were sharp and full of determination to win;
There was an ambition of not admitting defeat in Sandy's eyes. Because he was trying his best, his face looked a little fierce and scary. There were dense beads of sweat on his dark skin, and his clenched teeth showed how much effort he was exerting at the moment.
At the last 20 meters of the track, Sandy once caught up with Su Zhe, but soon, his forced speed dropped again, and ultimately he failed to successfully get in front of Su Zhe.
When Su Zhe crossed the finish line in first place, cheers rang out from the audience - this was a wonderful race. Whether it was Su Zhe's crushing from the beginning of the stage or Sandy's pursuit in the final sprint, the audience felt excited and satisfied.
In the domestic live broadcast room, Zhang Jing and Wang Miaochuan were also excited. After the excitement, Wang Miaochuan was the first to remember something, and then he announced loudly: "Congratulations to Su Zhe! This is his first time to win the men's 100m championship in a Diamond League race! At the same time, he is also the first athlete in the world to win both the men's 100m championship and the 110m hurdles championship in a Diamond League race!"
The good news announced by Wang Miaochuan made the audience in front of the live broadcast room stunned for a moment, and then they cheered together.
As Wang Miaochuan said, there are many outstanding multi-sport athletes in the current world sports arena, but for the time being, there is no athlete who can simultaneously cross the men's 100m and 110m hurdles and achieve such a high achievement.
Suddenly, the track and field kingdom forum became lively again, with people discussing what kind of highest achievements Su Zhe would eventually achieve in these two events. Among them, supporters of the men's 100-meter event and supporters of the 110-meter hurdles event began to publish long articles, proving that Su Zhe was more talented in one of the events and would definitely achieve higher achievements in the future.
Seeing the situation, some people happily opened a voting thread on the track and field kingdom forum, allowing supporters of both sides to vote and battle.
Perhaps for the sake of fun, the author of this post gave Su Zhe three options.
1. Su Zhe will win the most medals and achievements in the men's 100m event;
2. Su Zhe will win the most medals and achievements in the 110m hurdles;
3. Don't worry, Zhe Shao can compete in both the 100m and 110m hurdles, maybe even more? Hehehehe...
In addition to the people who voted for 1 and 2, many people actually voted for option 3, which was obviously a boring choice. The replies to the entire post were full of various items that were obviously nonsense made up by forum members, from the slightly marginal 200-meter, 400-meter, and 400-meter hurdles to swimming, shooting, equestrianism, archery and other inexplicable items. In short, there was everything in the recovery, and everyone was able to chat happily.
At the scene, Su Zhe and Sandy stopped one after another after the buffer stage. Sandy shook his head, high-fived and hugged Su Zhe, and then made an appointment with Su Zhe for the next round.
"In the next competition, the victory will definitely belong to me!"
"See you next time!"
After the match, the two smiled at each other and then dispersed to be photographed and interviewed by the photographers on the scene.
In the end, in this competition, Su Zhe won his first 100m championship in the Diamond League with a score of 9.98 seconds (wind speed +0.1m/s).
When he returned to the German training base with victory, he thought he would be praised by his father this time. However, he never expected that his father would roll his eyes at him after seeing him.
???
What is going on?
It was not until Zhang Ye came out and smiled and congratulated him on winning the championship that he learned that the advertising team of the Bruns Group that the Athletics Administration had previously signed for him had already arrived in H City, Germany, and were waiting for him to return from the competition so that they could drag him to shoot a wave of ads.
Faced with this reason, Su Zhe could only bow his head and admit his regret. He knew his father's temper. His father had always disapproved of athletes shooting commercials. Now, after the athlete shooting the commercial became his own son, of course he rolled his eyes.
However, the commercial marketing of athletes is actually a good thing, whether for the Athletics Administration Center, track and field events, or the athletes themselves.
After all, commercial promotion of athletes’ images, in addition to making profits and allowing both athletes and the athletics administration center to obtain more funds, is also a good opportunity to promote the track and field event itself. For all parties, this is a win-win situation.
What we really need to be careful to avoid is that in the process of commercialization, athletes lose themselves in the pursuit of profit and devote too much energy to commercial careers.
Su Zhe watched his father walk away angrily, and knew in his heart that his father probably understood all this, but he couldn't help but be angry.
In order to finish filming the commercial as quickly as possible and return to the team for training as soon as possible, Su Zhe contacted the advertising team of the Bruns Group directly on the day he returned to the training base. The advertising team immediately sent a car to take him directly to the hotel where the advertising team was staying, saying that they would adjust his overall skin condition before filming.
With the idea that he would just follow the instructions of the brand and professionals when shooting an advertisement, Su Zhe simply followed the car sent by the Bruns Group all the way to the hotel.
It should be said that the Bruns Group is worthy of being a world-class brand, and their investment in shooting advertisements is also very large. They directly booked one of the floors of the hotel, and all the staff were concentrated there, including people from the advertising team, makeup artists, beauticians, etc. There are all kinds of such people.
When they heard that the main character for the commercial was coming, the makeup artists and beauticians on the scene were protesting to their colleagues from the commercial production team.
"The filming time must be controlled within two days? Impossible. Our protagonist is an athlete! Do you know how much damage the training he has to face every day and the damage it will cause to his skin?"
"I must arrange at least one week of skin care for him! We are going to shoot an advertisement for high-end skin care products! Blanche's new high-end skin care product line, do you know how many people are eyeing this? If our spokesperson has bad skin condition, it will not be a good thing for our products..."
"Yes, I understand. I've seen his commercials and live videos. From the camera footage, his skin is in great condition. You're actually willing to hire an athlete to endorse skincare products. But before I meet him in person, I'm skeptical about it all."
Just as Dominic, a beautician who came with the crew for the shoot, was protesting to her colleagues in the crew with an annoyed look on her face, Su Zhe was led into the suite by the staff.
After hearing that Su Zhe had arrived, Dominic and makeup artist Yves all looked towards the entrance of the suite at the same time.
Inside the suite, a ray of sunlight was shining through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows toward the entrance. Su Zhe walked into the suite and, in everyone's sight, stepped from a dark and shadowy position into the sunlight.
At that moment, when the sunlight shone on his face, he closed his eyes slightly because of the sudden glare of the sunlight, but his originally fair and perfect skin, which was almost glowing, was flawless under the reflection of the sunlight.
Inside the suite, Dominique, Yves, and even more staff members held their breath for a moment. The sunlight cast a halo on Su Zhe's hair. When he opened his eyes and looked at everyone in the room and smiled, it almost gave people the illusion that an angel had descended to the world...
The author has something to say: QvQ... the daily life and death of a humble vegetable ing
Although Boss Shao is not here today, we have our little angel Su Zhe!
(Ahem, because the boss hasn't been online for the past few chapters, I saw a lot of little angels in the background who were speaking up for the boss, so I'll give you a little pat on the back _(:з」∠)_)
I saw a little angel say before that the word "sb" was written wrong after Evanson's game results. ← Actually, it was right. Evanson did not break his own pb, so it was marked as sb. Sandy and Su Zhe broke pb, so the last note was pb.
Some angels also asked when the shooting will be online... Ahem, it will be online soon. It will be online temporarily in a few days, but the real online will be after the Olympics...
A happy Mummy to everyone! =w=! Ah, I almost forgot to celebrate, today is already the 100th chapter!!!
Love you guys, thank you to every little angel who supports Caicai, it is your support that has made me strong enough to get to where I am now! Give me a huge heart! =w=!

Cai Cai: 0.0 Ahem, this is not it, you have been out shooting recently? Then I will borrow it from your house for a while...

Cai Cai: (feeling guilty) Hey, why are kids nowadays so irritable?
Boss Shao:…………What do you think?
Cai Cai: =w=...! Hehehehe...
