The first Asian champion in the men's 100m event of the Diamond League year-end finals!

When this title was called out amid the cheers of the crowd, all the spectators in the country who had stayed up late to watch the game felt their spirits lifted and they immediately became even more excited.

What could be more inspiring than this championship?

Almost at the same time, news about Su Zhe winning the 100m championship at the Diamond League Finals spread all over the Internet and forums. Even late at night could not stop people from being excited and talking about this event.

In the track and field kingdom forum, track and field fans are already clamoring to stay up all night to watch the 110-meter hurdles finals.

Topic: [We have won the 100m championship, but will the 110m hurdles championship be far away?]

There were dozens of posts on topics like this in the track and field kingdom. Although most of them were just exaggerated by the fans because of their excitement, the achievement of the 100-meter championship made everyone start to wonder if the title of the 110-meter hurdles championship was not as far-fetched as originally expected.

Athletics Management Center, Conference Room

Just like in many previous competitions, the Athletics Center staff who had never had time to go out to watch the competitions organized all staff to watch this important event together in the conference room during the Diamond League year-end finals.

The moment Su Zhe was confirmed to have won the finals championship, the conference room cheered again.

Compared to before, the people watching the game in this conference room are now much more relaxed than before.

Once upon a time, even if they made it to the finals at the World Championships and qualified for the Tokyo Olympics, Sun Zhihai and others who were watching the game could not help but feel excited and shed tears for such progress.

As Su Zhe's performance improved again and again, when people saw his achievements and progress, and saw him achieve higher achievements step by step, they began to let go of their tension and watched each of his games in a more calm and relaxed state, enjoying every miracle created by Su Zhe.

Sun Zhihai and Chen Guangzhi can certainly feel the changes. This is the confidence and courage that can only be brought to them when the athletes on the field have enough strength. In the past, they felt that it was very lucky for Chen Zhi to qualify for the Olympics alone. Now, Chen Zhi and Su Zhe both have the strength to enter the finals of the world's top competitions, and Su Zhe even has the ability to win the championship in such a competition.

"This would have been unimaginable two years ago..." Sun Zhihai couldn't help but sigh with a smile.

"Isn't it?" Chen Guangzhi also laughed: "At this time last year, our track and field team had just set off for Country D. During that time, we also sat in the conference room and watched the competition together, right? In the blink of an eye, a year has passed..."

"More than a year has passed." Sun Zhihai looked at Su Zhe, who was waving his hands high on the big screen in front of him, with a smile in his eyes: "Some people are right. Su Zhe is really the lucky star of our track and field events. From the 100 meters to the 100-meter hurdles and the 4x100 relay, he has carried the expectations of countless people over the past year."

Who says it isn't?

Initially, Su Zhe was just a candidate who had made his mark in the national tournament and was put on their key player watch list. They were optimistic about him and thought he would have a bright future, but they never expected that he would grow so fast.

Looking at Su Zhe on the big screen, Sun Zhihai nodded, tapped the back of his chair with his right hand, and suddenly said seriously: "In the next two days, call a meeting to implement all the projects we wanted to implement as soon as possible. In addition, the talent reserve plan must not be interrupted. In addition to our Athletics Management Center making plans, wait for Su Yinsheng to come back and let him and his coaching team come up with a separate draft plan."

As Sun Zhihai spoke, Chen Guangzhi nodded and wrote down the contents.

"Not only should we keep up with the selection of reserve athletes, but we should also keep up with the training of coaches. Before the start of winter training, let Su Yinsheng and Lu Fei come up with a training plan, and then gather some young and promising coaches in the country to learn from them. We should also keep up with the talent exchange plan and learning plan with the IAAF and various national track and field associations."

Sun Zhihai was thinking non-stop in his mind. Even though it was already late at night, the result of the game still made him very excited and energetic.

More than ten years ago, the 110-meter hurdles in China experienced a very good development wave and attention. The attention and influence brought by Song Chen at that time were no less than the influence brought by Su Zhe today.

But at that time, they were more immersed in Song Chen's own abilities. The domestic reserve of subsequent talents was not in place, and the training of subsequent talents was not done well. Finally, after Song Chen retired, there was a sudden shortage of domestic talents, and the enthusiasm of the 110-meter hurdles project, which was originally in a good situation, disappeared in a blink of an eye.

More than ten years have passed. This time, not only the 110-meter hurdles event, but also the 100-meter event has entered a new era under the guarantee of Su Zhe's personal strength. The whole nation's attention to track and field events has reached an unprecedented peak.

However, Sun Zhihai and others who had experienced that era knew that everything was still up to Su Zhe alone.

A thousand-pound burden rests on one person.

It is not an exaggeration to use this sentence to describe the importance of Su Zhe to these projects today.

Fortunately, Su Zhe is still young and he even has unlimited potential, so he can bear this terrible burden.

But finally, they have this legendary talent to drive the entire project forward. They will never miss this opportunity again and must not make the same mistake they made more than ten years ago.

Only by taking advantage of this opportunity and making full preparations for the future can we take over this new era of track and field created by Su Zhe.

At the competition, after Su Zhe was the first to cross the finish line, while he was still sprinting, countless media on site rushed out from the photo shooting area and began to surround him to take pictures of the heroic figure of this year's champion.

After he stopped, the ceremonial staff at the scene handed him a huge bouquet of flowers that belonged to the annual champion.

Su Zhe took the bouquet with a smile and held it high in one hand to show the honor that belonged to him.

Evanson and Sandy, who had crossed the line one step behind him, had also stopped at this time. They looked at Su Zhe's back and couldn't help revealing a complicated expression.

This Chinese player who once lagged behind them and kept chasing them now has the ability to defeat them. What's more frightening is that he is only 22 years old and has not yet reached his golden age.

Evanson and Sandy looked at each other, and a strong sense of crisis arose in their eyes. If they didn't want to be under Su Zhe's shadow forever, they had to work harder.

In the audience, Zheng Wensheng sat with everyone from the track and field team. He was still immersed in excitement. He waved his hands, then as if remembering something, he turned around and looked at Su Yinsheng and others.

"Do you think Su Zhe's performance this time can break the PB again?"

Zheng Wensheng certainly understood the saying that Su Zhe could hit a PB with one shot, and he also saw how good Su Zhe was today, but how easy is it to break the record?

Moreover, Su Zhe's personal PB in the 100 meters at the Olympics had already reached 9.90 seconds. Once his personal PB is refreshed, he will officially break through the 9.90 second barrier and enter the world of less than 9.90 seconds.

You know, 5 or 6 years ago, it was still a huge challenge for Asians to break the 10-second barrier. Now, are we about to enter the era of 9.90 seconds or less?

Zhang Ye smiled and patted Zheng Wensheng on the shoulder, telling him to sit down and wait for the results together.

In fact, they were also looking forward to it in their hearts, wondering whether Su Zhe could bring them another miracle surprise.

After a short wait, the referee team delivered the final scores of the players to the commentators and also projected the scores onto the big screen.

When everyone's eyes were focused on the big screen, Zheng Wensheng almost stood up from his chair immediately, looking at the final results on the big screen in disbelief.

In the commentary room of the live broadcast of the sports channel, the voices of Zhang Jing and Wang Miaochuan had just calmed down, but the final results that followed made them open their eyes wide.

[…2020, the final results of the men’s 100m event at the Diamond League year-end finals: first place, Su Zhe (China), 9.88 seconds (wind speed +1.1m/s), (personal PB, the latest Asian record), second place, Evanson (USA), 9.90 seconds (wind speed +1.1m/s), third place, Sandy (Nigeria), 9.93 seconds (wind speed +1.1m/s)…]

After all the players' individual scores were finally announced, Zhang Jing and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to enthusiastically congratulate Su Zhe on his excellent score!

Compared with the annual champion of the Diamond League's 100m event, Su Zhe's result of 9.88 not only broke his personal PB, but also broke the Asian record. After this battle, he officially broke the yellow race's 100m performance limit from 9.90 previously created by Chen Zhi to 9.80!

This is far from just a record belonging to Su Zhe, it is also a new extreme record for the yellow race!

The announcement of Su Zhe's final results has sparked a new wave of public opinion online and in the athletics kingdom forums.

Even though it was already late at night, the major official media were already impatient.

Among them, official track and field-related Weibo accounts such as the Athletics Administration Center, the National Track and Field Team, and the S City Sports Team were the first to post Weibo announcing Su Zhe's achievement.

Official Weibo of the National Track and Field Team: [At the 2020 Diamond League 100m finals held at 5:20 pm on September 25, Zurich time, our athlete @Su Zhe won the year-end championship in the 100m event with a time of 9.88 (wind speed +1.1m/s), and also broke his personal career record for the 100m and the Asian record for the 100m! Athlete Su Zhe proved to everyone with his strength that yellow people can also enter the extreme world of 9.90! ]

At the same time as the results were announced, the late-night spectators who were either browsing the Internet or paying attention to the finals were also attracted by the results data forwarded by the official media.

[Wow, 9.88 seconds? I think this time is only enough for me to run 50 meters...]

[…Although I know that the world of top athletes is different from the world of ordinary people like us, I never thought that we in Asia have already entered the 9.80 second era…]

If ordinary bystanders did not have a particularly clear understanding of this result, the track and field enthusiasts in the track and field kingdom were much more shocked.

【!!! Damn, Zhe Shao is awesome!! I knew Zhe Shao was awesome, but I didn’t know he was this awesome!!】

In the dead of night, the forum was so lively that it seemed as if a large number of forum members were at their peak activity at night.

While everyone was discussing Su Zhe's results, some late-night archaeologists found a post from about 2015. At that time, Chen Zhi's results had reached the critical point of the 10-second mark, but he had not yet broken the 10-second mark. At that time, many people in the track and field kingdom forum pessimistically believed that the yellow race's maximum speed for the 100 meters might be 10 seconds. People were discussing whether Chen Zhi could break the 10-second mark and truly break the so-called limit of the yellow race.

This post was pushed to the top again today, with the title: [Is 10 seconds for the 100 meters really the limit for the yellow race? ]

At this time today, everyone was stunned by the archaeological title, and then burst into laughter.

Many forum users couldn't help but poke into this post - this post was not the first time to be dug up. Less than half a year after this post was published, Chen Zhi successfully ran a time of 9.99 seconds, breaking the 10-second mark. After that, every time Chen Zhi refreshed the record, this post would be dug up until Chen Zhi refreshed the Asian record to 9.90 seconds.

The author of this post had long ago changed his forum avatar to a cartoon avatar of a man covering his swollen face, and was called the Swollen Face Guy by many forum friends.

Obviously, now that Su Zhe has opened the 9.90 second limit level, the post of this swollen-faced guy in the Athletics Kingdom forum has been dug out by the archaeology party again and pushed to the top of the homepage. People happily @脸腫哥 in the post, asking him to come out and express his feelings about the pain in his face.

Brother Swollen Face was also among the crowd reveling and waiting that night. When he saw Su Zhe's results, he already felt that someone in the forum would definitely start calling him.

So, when everyone @ him, he showed up very decisively.

[Celebrating that my face has become even more swollen, I hope that Master Chen and Master Zhe will slap me in the face more often in the future, I have a thick skin and it can continue to swell!!!]

The attitude of the swollen-faced guy made everyone laugh, and his post has now become a classic meme in the forum. Every time this post is put back on the front page, the information it represents is enough to make everyone cheer.

The Diamond League year-end finals in Zurich, Switzerland

After another post-match interview with Xu Zhi, Su Zhe returned to the players' lounge and began to seize every moment to rest in preparation for the next 110-meter hurdles final.

In this 110-meter hurdles final, he still has to face those old rivals - from Lister to Elano, Alcides, Gomez, Train, Huber... Those who can come to this year-end final are naturally the elites in the 110-meter hurdles event.

After winning the 100-meter final, the excitement brought by the victory on the field still lingered in Su Zhe's mind. This feeling of victory made him feel the blood boiling in his heart even after he had left the field and returned to the locker room.

Want to play immediately.

I want to chase and run for victory on the court again.

I want to win once again... and feel the pleasure that victory brings!

Su Zhe was lying quietly on the massage bed in the lounge, letting the masseur who came with him relieve the tiredness in his muscles.

He had a vague feeling that he might have a chance to compete in the next 110-meter hurdles final!

In the audience seats, after the 100-meter event ended, the track and field team members also entered a relatively relaxed viewing mode and began to watch other events on the field.

Zheng Wensheng's excitement had not yet completely subsided. He was watching the game on the court, a little absent-minded.

As he watched, he turned to Lu Fei and said, "Hey, Lao Lu, what do you think of Su Zhe in the upcoming 110-meter hurdles race? "

Seeing Zheng Wensheng's excited look, Lu Fei also found it a little funny: "What's wrong with Su Zhe?"

Zheng Wensheng covered his mouth and coughed twice, then said seriously, "Oh, isn't it just about whether Su Zhe has a chance to win another championship?"

Glancing at Zheng Wensheng's expression, Su Yinsheng curled his lips and said disdainfully, "Tsk, so timid."

Zheng Wensheng looked at Su Yinsheng's expression, and tried to hold back, but couldn't help saying, "Old Su, I know that Su Zhe won the championship in the 100m, broke the Asian record, and broke the 9.90 second barrier. You are proud of yourself, but what's wrong with me caring about the 110m hurdles?"

"...Nothing." Su Yinsheng was in high spirits, but his rude nature remained unchanged: "I just can't stand your shy look."

Zheng Wensheng also curled his lips and continued to look at Lu Fei: "Hey, Lao Lu, can you say something?"

Lu Fei smiled and waved his hands: "Okay, don't worry, wait for Su Zhe to come out, and then you'll know after the game starts, right?"

Seeing Lu Fei's calmness, Zheng Wensheng laughed. He shook his head and sighed, "Oh, Old Lu, you are indeed a man who brought up Song Chen. You are always so calm at times like this."

Like Zheng Wensheng and others, Zhou Tianjue and others in the back row were also muttering and discussing what Su Zhe's performance would be in the 110-meter hurdles later.

Zhou Tianjue stroked his chin, looking confused: "Hey, this fellow Xiao Mianyang is so fierce in the 100-meter race, what will he do if he doesn't have enough energy in the 110-meter hurdles final?"

Beside him, Ye Jun still had a gentle smile on his face: "Didn't you say before that you would let Su Zhe wait for you to compete for the 110-meter hurdles championship next year?"

Zhou Tianjue curled his lips and said, "Next year is next year's matter. He can also win the championship this year."

These words were tinged with childishness, and Ye Jun couldn't help but laugh.

"It's really hard to judge the situation for the upcoming competitions." Ye Jun lowered his head and thought, "It's 5:45 now, and the 110-meter hurdles competition starts at 9:10. Su Zhe's rest time can only be until 8 o'clock at most. In terms of time, the interval between the two competitions this time is slightly more spacious than the previous S City race, but generally speaking, the rest time is still limited."

"It's hard to say whether Su Zhe can fully recover after such a short rest period."

After all, in a fast, anaerobic, extreme run like the 100-meter sprint, the muscles are in anaerobic mode, and the resulting muscle fatigue and energy loss cannot be fully replenished in a short period of time.

Even with dedicated masseurs and the help of energy-boosting drinks, it is impossible to say that there is no impact on athletes.

Zhou Tianjue certainly knew the problem, but he felt that Su Zhe was not someone who would be easily stumped by such a situation.

In Su Zhe's more than one year of competition experience, he has already had rich experience in facing multiple games in one day, and when faced with a difficult schedule, Su Zhe still produced a sufficiently outstanding report card every time.

Zhou Tianjue touched his nose again and snorted, "Humph, the little sheep better be able to win the 110-meter hurdles championship, otherwise..."

"Otherwise?" Ye Jun asked curiously.

"...Otherwise I will definitely laugh at him!" Zhou Tianjue said viciously.

Ye Jun laughed at this answer, but he also knew that Zhou Tianjue was doing this because Su Zhe won the 100-meter championship and he felt that he couldn't lose in the 110-meter hurdles - he didn't know where this inexplicable desire to win came from.

After finishing the conversation with Ye Jun, Zhou Tianjue looked around the scene and suddenly saw a familiar figure not far away. The guy was holding a camera in his hand, looking at something.

Seeing that guy, Zhou Tianjue frowned.

"What's wrong?" Ye Jun noticed that Zhou Tianjue seemed a little alert.

"Nothing, I seemed to see the guy named Shao Xingchen..." Zhou Tianjue said seriously.

"Oh, isn't that Azhe's friend in the entertainment industry?" Ye Jun nodded in understanding: "He seems to have been following Azhe's live games. What's wrong?"

Zhou Tianjue frowned: "Nothing, I just think he seems to have some bad intentions..."

???

Have a bad heart???

Zhou Tianjue's answer made Ye Jun stunned for a moment, then he patted his shoulder with a smile: "Okay, stop thinking about it and just watch your game."

With Ye Jun's comfort, Zhou Tianjue looked in the direction of Shao Xingchen with confusion, and then turned his gaze to the stadium.

Two or three hours passed in a flash, and when Su Zhe stepped onto the field again, everyone on the track and field team, including those who stayed up late to watch the game before the domestic live broadcast, was cheered up.

The 110-meter hurdles finals are about to begin!
