It’s Su Zhe!
The athlete who won the first place in the 110m hurdles of the Diamond League Stockholm race was Su Zhe from China!
When all the sports fans in the country who were following the games got this clear answer, almost everyone shouted excitedly.
Well done!
This first place is Su Zhe's first real championship in an international competition.
This championship came beyond everyone's expectations, yet it also seemed reasonable.
In the commentary room of the sports channel, Zhang Jing and Wang Miaochuan watched Su Zhe on the live broadcast, and both of them felt emotional.
Zhang Jing began to look back: "Since last year's World Championships, Su Zhe has already run a good result of 13.23 seconds. For domestic athletes, this is a good result that has not been seen in many years. According to the 19th IAAF annual statistics, a result of 13.23 seconds can already squeeze into the top ten in the world."
"But neither Su Zhe nor the national team coaching staff were satisfied with this result. During the winter training period from the end of last year to the beginning of this year, the coaching staff headed by Lu Fei formulated a series of related technical improvement plans for Su Zhe, such as changing his eight steps at the hurdles to seven. This plan was initially effective during the indoor championships, when Su Zhe won the bronze medal with a time of 7.50 seconds."
Wang Miaochuan agreed, "Yes, not only that, judging from the state Su Zhe showed in the competition today, he obviously did not stop training and improving his skills during this period of time after the indoor championships. The skills he showed at the start today were significantly different from his previous start state. It should be a further technical adjustment after the indoor championships."
Zhang Jing also confirmed this: "Yes, this should be a related technical transformation in conjunction with the seven-step hurdles. Judging from the results presented in today's competition, this technical adjustment has greatly improved Su Zhe's original weakness before the hurdles. Combined with his almost perfect hurdle-crossing technique in the hurdle attack phase and his personal characteristics of exerting force in the later stage, he presented us with such a wonderful race on this track of the 110-meter hurdles!"
As the live footage switched to slow-motion footage of the game, the performances of Suzhe, Lister and Elano were shown one by one by the on-site director.
The dynamic details revealed by slow motion can more clearly show the perfect techniques of Su Zhe, Lister and Elano in the attacking phase.
Zhang Jing watched the slow-motion footage and said to Wang Miaochuan, "Some people have said that Lister's hurdle skills are very crude and that he relies on his natural talent to achieve excellent results. In fact, from these slow-motion hurdle details, we can see that Lister's skills are definitely not bad."
"Yes." Wang Miaochuan also nodded and said, "In fact, these athletes who can run to the world's top level cannot have too many shortcomings in their hurdle technology. Once there is any technical shortcoming, it may have a great impact on the athlete's final performance."
"As we usually say, the technical modifications and adjustments of the athletes are most likely just the frequency of arm swings, the angle control of the foot lift during the sprint, etc. Take domestic athletes as an example. Ye Jun previously had the problem of not pressing down his swinging leg actively enough, which caused him to stagnate for a long time when crossing the hurdles, affecting his own rhythm of crossing the hurdles. This was also one of the important reasons why his performance could not be improved for a long time before."
"That's right." Zhang Jing said affirmatively: "Technique determines the lower limit, while talent determines the upper limit. These top players in the world, even if they look like talented players, but technology is the foundation they must have. Only when strong talent is matched with good enough technology, can they reach the current level and achieve the current results."
"For any athlete, we cannot separate his or her efforts from his or her talent. This is an insult to these athletes." After Zhang Jing expressed his feelings, the referee team displayed the final results on the big screen at the scene.
"Okay, now let's take a look at the final results of each player in this competition."
Zhang Jing and Wang Miaochuan tacitly turned the topic back to the on-site performance.
Wang Miaochuan began to read out the results on the live screen one by one: "In this Diamond League Stockholm race, first place, Su Zhe (China), 13.17 seconds (wind speed 0.5), personal PB, breaking the best result of the year in the Asian 110m hurdles; second place, Lister (USA), 13.18 seconds (wind speed 0.5), personal SB; third place, Elano (Brazil), 13.23 seconds (wind speed 0.5), personal SB..."
In this game, in addition to Su Zhe breaking his personal best record, Lister and Elano also broke their best records of this season.
At the scene of the race, at the end of the 110-meter hurdles, Su Zhe stood beside the track and brushed his hair behind his head with both hands. After a simple combing, his slightly sweaty hair looked like a slicked-back hairstyle.
In the stands, many spectators who had just finished watching the game were cheering in his direction to celebrate his victory.
Hearing the cheers from the audience, Su Zhe smiled and waved habitually towards the stands.
Not far from him, Lister and Elano saw him, walked up to him together, gave him a hug and congratulated him on winning the Diamond League championship.
"That guy Holness is right, the Dwarf King combination is indeed very scary!" Elano said jokingly with a smile.
After hugging the two big guys, Su Zhe also smiled and expressed his gratitude for the compliments from Lister and Elano.
Lister raised his eyebrows and spread his hands: "No need to thank me, man, this is the honor you won. You are great, but if it is only this level, it is hard to say who will be the final winner next time."
"Ha, of course." Su Zhe also smiled and shrugged: "In the next competition, I hope we can both run better results."
After saying goodbye to old friends like Lister and Elano, Su Zhe breathed a sigh of relief.
Only then did the joy of victory gradually creep into Su Zhe's heart. He looked around the entire stadium and the 110-meter hurdles behind him.
It was on this track that he finally won his first international championship just now. Although this was only one of the Diamond League races, with Lester, Elano, Percival and other athletes ranked in the top 20 in the world in the 110-meter hurdles participating, this race has long been recognized as a top event in the world.
When he just passed the finish line, Su Zhe was so focused on the field that he couldn't even feel the taste of victory at first.
"Ah, I still don't have enough experience."
Su Zhe stroked his hair and sighed in his heart.
After expressing this emotion, he could not help laughing again - the taste of victory was so wonderful that after he tasted it for the first time, he began to imagine the second, third, and even more times.
Because I had very little experience in winning, after taking first place, I couldn't even remember the feeling of crossing the finish line as the first place.
Because he had so little experience of winning, it was only then that he gradually realized that he had actually won the championship!
If we can win more games in the future, will we not feel so nervous and awkward?
Looking back at the finish line of the 110-meter hurdle again, Su Zhe realized that the desire for victory in his heart had once again reached its peak.
Su Zhe understood that his victory in this match was due to a bit of luck.
The difference of just 0.01 seconds between him and Lister might just be a split second difference in reaction when hearing a gunshot.
Lister was right. If this was the extent of the situation, the outcome of the next competition would be uncertain.
We still have to keep working hard - only by constantly moving forward and standing on the real commanding heights can we get rid of this nervous and cramped mood and truly grasp victory in our own hands.
When Su Zhe left the stage and passed the interview area, many media on the scene were already waiting to interview him.
Among these media, in addition to a large number of overseas media, there is also a Chinese reporter.
After Su Zhe answered questions from various overseas media, the reporter from China introduced himself with a smile: "Hello, Su Zhe, I am Wang Jingyuan, a reporter from the news agency stationed in Stockholm. I am very happy to meet you in Stockholm. It is really exciting to watch such world-class high-level athletes compete in person. Seeing you win the 110-meter hurdles championship in this game also makes me feel extremely proud! Congratulations on winning this extremely valuable championship!"
"Thank you." Su Zhe smiled and nodded to Wang Jingyuan: "Today, the difference between Lister and I is not big. I am lucky to win the championship."
After hearing Su Zhe's self-deprecation, Wang Jingyuan smiled and shook his head, saying, "Although I am not a professional sports reporter, the principles are the same in everything. For example, in this competition, you can win the final championship because you already have the strength at the moment. If you can't run such a result, then even if luck plays a role, the final championship will not belong to you."
After a pause, Wang Jingyuan said, "In today's competition, you have already won the championship of this race. At the same time, in the previous D country race, you also won the runner-up in the men's 100m event. At present, in the men's 100m event and 110m hurdles event of the Diamond League, you have accumulated 7 and 8 diamond points respectively. According to the race schedule published by the IAAF, there are still 6 races in each of these two events. According to your current competitive state, it is basically certain that you can enter the year-end finals of the two events. So what are your expectations for the next races and the year-end finals?"
Looking at Wang Jingyuan's long speech, Su Zhe couldn't help but laugh: "Wang Ji, the questions you asked don't seem like you are a professional sports reporter."
Wang Jingyuan laughed out loud: "How can you not prepare for an interview? So, what are your expectations for yourself?"
After Wang Jingyuan's repeated questioning, Su Zhe took a deep breath and said in a serious tone, "Next, I hope I can perform better in the competition. I hope I can get better results in terms of both my condition and skills as I gain more competition experience and improve my condition."
After hearing Su Zhe's answer, Wang Jingyuan asked seriously, "So you are not satisfied with your championship result this time?"
Facing this question, Su Zhe smiled and said: "I am of course satisfied to win the championship in this race, but..."
Su Zhe paused, then looked at Wang Jingyuan and said, "But I can't stop here. The runner-up in this competition, Lister, has a personal PB of 12.95 seconds, and Elano, has a personal PB of 12.98 seconds. Not to mention the series of 110-meter hurdles records that belong to China and Asia created by Senior Song Chen."
"Today, I just broke the 13.20 mark for the first time. There are still 13.15, 13.10, 13.05, and even the 13-second mark that few people can break..."
"In the world of under 13 seconds, there is also the 12.87 seconds set by senior Song Chen, which belongs to China, and even the 12.80 seconds set by world hurdle champion Alvester, which is considered the ultimate human record."
"There are still countless mountains ahead of me waiting for me to climb over." Su Zhe looked at Wang Jingyuan and asked seriously, "How can I be content with the status quo under such circumstances?"
Su Zhe's answer surprised Wang Jingyuan, who originally just wanted to get an official answer in the interview, but he still faithfully recorded Su Zhe's answer in the recorder and thanked Su Zhe at the end.
After answering Wang Jingyuan's question, Su Zhe waved goodbye to Wang Jingyuan with a hint of relief and left the scene.
The domestic internet was once again in jubilation because of Su Zhe's victory in this Diamond League tournament.
At the moment the live broadcast of the sports channel ended, a large number of sports enthusiasts appeared on the forums and Weibo of the track and field kingdom and competed to express their ecstasy.
In the track and field kingdom forums, you can see jubilant and enthusiastic fans everywhere.
Subject: [Zhe Shao is awesome!!! I am not educated, so I can only think of this compliment now. Please educated people come and praise our Zhe Shao! ]
Subject: [Aaaaaaaaa! Diamond League Tournament Champion! The year-end finals are a foregone conclusion! Can Zhe Shao get a medal in the year-end finals? After so many years, hope rises again!!]
Subject: [Bet 5 dollars on the finals of the year-end finals of two events, just waiting to watch the live broadcast! ]
At the forum, people not only talked about Su Zhe's performance in the Stockholm race, but also naturally imagined the wonderful scene of the men's 100m and 110m hurdles entering the year-end finals at the same time.
In addition, people also thought of the huge amount of coverage that the IAAF had given to Su Zhe on the front page.
Subject: [Zhe Shao won the 110m hurdles championship this time. If he can also win the 100m championship, it will be unprecedented, right? The first athlete in history to qualify for both the Diamond League men's 100m sprint and 110m hurdles, the first athlete in history to win both the Diamond League men's 100m sprint and 110m hurdles championships, the first athlete in history to enter the Diamond League men's 100m and 110m hurdles year-end finals at the same time... Oh, I feel so happy just thinking about it. ]
Under this theme, many big brothers from the track and field kingdom forum have emerged.
1L: [I originally came here to criticize the OP. We should have good reasons to praise Master Zhe... But... Although only the first of these three No. 1s in history has been achieved, the remaining two do not seem hopeless...]
3L: […Tsk, I came in to rant first, but the wonderful vision you described is something I really want to see with my own eyes…If all of this comes true, the IAAF official website will have to celebrate for our Master Zhe again, right?]
5L: [No more words to say, I'll just give my support to Zhe Shao, and hope the OP's prediction will come true! ]
6L: [Well, after taking a look at what the original poster said, it’s hard to say about the second one, but it seems that it’s not difficult to enter the year-end finals in both events at the same time. I took a look at the 19-year-end finals points list. The eighth place in the men’s 100m event scored 12 points, and the eighth place in the 110m hurdles event scored 11 points... With Zhe Shao’s current points, he only needs to run two more races in each event to easily qualify! ]
8L: [I looked at the data of the big brother on the 6th floor. So... among the three data on the main floor, the only uncertain thing is whether he can win the men's 100m race championship? ]
9L: [… Shit, I re-read the original post. The three first persons in history mentioned by the original poster actually seem full of hope… I’m a little panicked.]
In this thread, because the historical firsts listed by the original poster seemed a bit too shocking, the forum friends who entered the thread originally just wanted the original poster to be a little more restrained. However, after entering the thread, the forum friends found that the contents stated in this post were not unattainable after all.
For a moment, all the forum friends who posted the message were a little dazed.
If Chen Zhi is still supporting China's sprinting these years, the 110-meter hurdles in China have been silent for too long. Although Su Zhe, Zhou Tianjue and Ye Jun have been constantly surprising everyone since last year, everyone's confidence is still not enough.
For example, before Su Zhe's match today, there were track and field commentators jumping around, trying to stir up discussion by talking about Zhou Tianjue's losses in the previous two matches, insinuating that Su Zhe's condition might not be reliable.
Although in forums like Track and Field Kingdom, forum members across columns can make rational judgments and conclude that Su Zhe is still in good condition, the topics raised by these track and field trolls still affected a lot of people.
Even this kind of invisible spraying rhythm can still confuse people's hearts, which is enough to show that the majority of passers-by and track and field fans are not confident enough in the strength of the current track and field team.
However, as Su Zhe, or Chen Zhi, Zhou Tianjue, Ye Jun and others continue to grow stronger, they will eventually bring real confidence and security to these track and field athletes.
On Weibo, due to the promotion of the sports channel, the previous rhythmic track and field spraying, and the original concern of the spectators for Su Zhe's game, many ordinary passers-by also watched Su Zhe's game during the live broadcast of the sports channel.
Similar to the atmosphere in the track and field kingdom, the spectators on Weibo also happily threw flowers, expressing their joy at Su Zhe's victory in this game.
Various sports influencers and official sports-related Weibo accounts will certainly not miss out on relevant performance displays and comments.
National Track and Field Team: [#Su Zhe wins the 110m hurdles championship in the Diamond League race# On May 13, at 20:13 Beijing time, our athlete @Su Zhe won the 110m hurdles championship in the Diamond League Stockholm race with a score of 13.17 (0.5)! This is the first time in 11 years that a Chinese athlete has won such a good result in the Diamond League race. Congratulations to Su Zhe and the Chinese 110m hurdles project, which is making great strides! ]
Tao Sheng: [#Su Zhe wins the 110m hurdles championship in the Diamond League race# I just watched the live broadcast of the 110m hurdles event in the race, and I am still excited. Since I stepped onto the field of the new season, I have seen a stronger Su Zhe. Whether from his personal state or his skills, it can be seen that he is ready to make a real "leap"! In the last D country race, his competitive state in the 100m event was already amazing, and today, in the 110m hurdles event, he not only maintained a superior competitive state, but also improved and adjusted his skills, which also showed his ambition, which is far more than the current results of the Diamond League!
When I first saw this technical move, I had a strong sense of déjà vu in my mind. Just after the competition ended, I immediately checked the competition video of the previous indoor championships. I can roughly confirm that the inspiration for this technical improvement should come from the cross-hurdle athlete Holness. Su Zhe and Holness are both "outliers" among cross-hurdle athletes. The similar types allow them to have more possibilities for mutual reference in technology. Being able to truly integrate and improve this possibility and get feedback on the results is the feedback and embodiment of the strength of the coaching staff and athletes.
In this game, we can see that the efforts of Su Zhe and the coaching staff have been sufficiently rewarded.
Congratulations to you, @蘇哲, I hope your performance will continue to improve in future competitions! 】
Both official media and sports commentators like Tao Sheng were satisfied and praised Su Zhe's performance this time.
It was not until an interview with Su Zhe by Wang Jingyuan, a foreign correspondent for a news agency, was posted online that people realized that Su Zhe, who always appeared very calm and composed, had such a passionate pursuit of the extreme in his heart.
While everyone is still feeling proud and happy about his current achievements, his sights have already been cast towards a more far-reaching direction.
Shortly after the news of Wang Jingyuan's interview was released, Shao Xingchen, who was still in closed filming and had not posted on Weibo for a long time, quietly posted a text Weibo.
[I am very happy to see in you the ambition and spirit of not being satisfied with the status quo and constantly exploring. I hope to see a better you in the future. I also hope to see a better me in the future.]
This Weibo post, which did not include any pictures, @ or topic, attracted a large number of Shao Xingchen's fans the moment it appeared. These "satellites" naturally knew who the 'you' Shao Xingchen mentioned was, but through this Weibo post that seemed to be just wishing Su Zhe good results, they also read Shao Xingchen's feedback on the pressure he had been under during this period.
Since he got his current role, there has been no end to the doubts on the Internet. Shao Xingchen and the "satellites" who have always supported him have been under tremendous pressure.
The moment they saw this Weibo post, the "Satellites" couldn't help but have tears in their eyes. As fans of a traffic star, their boss has now got a role that many talented actors want to get. The pressure both Shao Xingchen and they are under can be said to be unprecedented.
But, as this short text Weibo post says, are they willing to see their boss be content with the status quo, then gradually slide from the top of traffic and eventually disappear without a trace?
No, they don't want to, so they are willing to wait together, withstand the pressure, and wait for the day when their boss successfully transforms.
Under Shao Xingchen’s Weibo post, “satellites” lined up to leave their blessings.
【I hope to see a better him and a better you in the future. 】
The author has something to say: QAQ I was a bit of a wreck today. I rushed home on the train like crazy this afternoon and almost missed the speed limit.
I started typing after I got home in the evening. In the living room, my parents, my aunt and uncle who were staying over were chatting loudly on TV... I had to put on headphones to block out the noise, and now my ears hurt...
My sister and niece will be back tomorrow... I feel like a useless vegetable QAQ...
I'm so sorry, I don't have time to copy the comments and watch the mini-drama tonight. I will try my best tomorrow! (Head in hand... orz
(I sneaked back and gave you a heart, QAQ I love you! Then I prepared to sneak away and take a break...)
