Chapter 257
This challenge was a shock to Alcides, Gomez and others, not because a newcomer surpassed them in one game, but because of the way Su Zhe appeared, his height, and his speed, which reminded them of the crazy Holness who officially entered the international arena two years ago and won the Tokyo Olympic 110-meter hurdles championship in one fell swoop.
During the live broadcast in Japan, Ishida Ippei was almost stunned: "Oh my God! This scary guy from the Chinese Empire... He once again dominated the field! Su from China, this fairy with a beautiful appearance as a disguise, once again stretched out his claws on the track to tell us how scary his real strength is!"
Unlike Ishida Ippei's exaggerated Japanese commentary, Wang Miaochuan and Zhang Jingze, who are currently in charge of the commentary for this game in China, know Su Zhe much better.
As the top track and field commentators in the country, Wang Miaochuan and Zhang Jing have good relationships with athletes and track and field celebrities such as Su Zhe, Chen Zhi, Zhou Tianjue, Ye Jun, etc. For example, when Su Zhe just announced that he would officially retire from figure skating, Wang Miaochuan and Zhang Jing knew that Su Zhe was going to prepare to compete in both hurdles and hurdles.
Moreover, although foreigners know that Su Zhe has extraordinary strength in sprinting and figure skating, they are not aware that Su Zhe also serves as an assistant coach for the cross-hurdle group. After all, as an active athlete, Su Zhe is not listed even if he has done actual work. Only people within the track and field team and domestic fans who learned about the relevant information through news gossip know the specific situation.
However, despite this, neither Wang Miaochuan nor Zhang Jing expected that Su Zhe's performance had reached a level that could suppress players of the same level as Alcides and Gomez.
You know, although Alcides and Gomez cannot compare with Holness, Lister, Elano and other athletes who have broken the 13-second mark in terms of strength, they are both top athletes who have broken the 13.20 mark, especially Alcides, whose personal PB is 13.05, and he can be regarded as one of the top five strong players in the world.
Although Ye Jun has been making great progress in China since 2019, and talented athletes like Zhou Tianjue have emerged, their current results are only on the edge of 13.20 seconds, and they are still trying to break the 13.20 second mark.
"This is really..." Wang Miaochuan watched the replay and saw Su Zhe's steady pace and final sprint, and watched him gradually overtake Gomez and Alcides in front of him while attacking the last three hurdles.
"Alcides and Gomez are both international champions in the 110-meter hurdles. Even though they have been suppressed in the past two years due to the emergence of Holness, their strength is still unquestionable." Zhang Jingwei took a breath and began to briefly introduce Alcides and Gomez to the audience in front of the TV.
Before this live broadcast, the two received a message from the station, saying that a large number of viewers watching the game might not be familiar with the current status of the cross-hurdle project, so the commentary could be more detailed.
"Yes, Zhang Jing is right." Wang Miaochuan continued, "Since the start of this year's competition, Alcides and Gomez have both been in very good shape. Alcides broke the 13.20 mark in the first race of the Diamond League D Country Division this year, and Gomez's score was 13.24 at the time. As the beginning of the season, they are both very good."
"By the way, in the D-stage race, our country's Zhou Tianjue's personal score was 13.22 seconds. He is already so strong at the beginning of the season. I believe Zhou Tianjue has a good chance of breaking the 13.20 mark this season."
At this point, the people watching the live broadcast, regardless of whether they have any previous knowledge of the current status of the 110-meter hurdles, already know what the level of the world's top athletes is like.
In this match, there is Alcides, whose strength is obviously higher than Zhou Tianjue and Ye Jun, and there is also Gomez, whose strength is comparable to Zhou and Ye.
But the final winner was Su Zhe, who had never participated in the 110-meter hurdles competition before.
…
…………
………………
On the Internet and in front of the TV, whether it is the gossip-eating crowd or the track and field fans, they are all dumbfounded at this moment.
To be honest, everyone has actually become accustomed to Su Zhe's strength, including his nickname "Su God", which also comes from respect and affection for his powerful strength.
Everyone was of course looking forward to Su Zhe's first 110-meter hurdles race, but even track and field fans already knew that Su Zhe had a talent for the 110-meter hurdles. However, the fact that he was able to break the 13.30-second mark in his first international competition, and achieve a result similar to that of Zhou Tianjue and Ye Jun, was enough to make everyone happy.
Who would have thought that Su Zhe would make such a big splash in this Osaka Golden Challenge?
Although his results have not been released yet, it is a fact that he crushed Alcides and Gomez. The performance of the two of them today was seen by track and field fans. Everyone can see that they were in good shape today and there was no problem of poor form.
Since there is no problem with their condition, then we can imagine what kind of results Su Zhe, who crushed them both, has achieved...
The commentary in Japan and China is still going on, and multi-angle replays of the players are still being shown on the TV screens.
At the competition site, when the athletes crossed the finish line, they gradually stopped and the other athletes in the same field with Su Zhe all turned their eyes to Su Zhe.
The first person to come to Su Zhe was Alcides. He walked to Su Zhe with an astonished look and tone, and patted Su Zhe on the shoulder.
"Hey, man, this is the first time I see you on the court?"
Su Zhe looked at his old rival and nodded with a smile: "Hello, my name is Su Zhe."
"Su...Zhe?"
Alcides and Gomez were stunned when they heard the name.
"Your name sounds familiar... I always feel that there is a Chinese player with the same name." Alcides frowned and turned to look at Gomez, wanting to see if it was just his illusion.
"Oh, yes." Gomez also nodded: "The Chinese man, Su, the men's 100m athlete who won a medal at the Tokyo Olympics."
As he spoke, Gomez looked at Suzhe and spread his hands: "His name sounds very similar to yours."
Su Zhe looked at his two old rivals who were holding their hands up in confusion, and he smiled and held his hands up like them: "If I'm not mistaken, the Chinese player you are talking about is me."
…
…………
ha???
Alcides and Gomez almost thought they had misheard.
Gomez was more direct: "Hey, Sue, maybe you didn't understand what I said just now... I was talking about the Chinese men's 100-meter sprinter."
When saying this, Gomez slowed down his speech and emphasized it again when he mentioned the men's 100-meter sprint.
Su Zhe blinked, smiled, and repeated in a very slow voice: "Yes, that's me. I was originally a male 100-meter sprinter. The 110-meter hurdles is just my secondary event. This is my first time participating in the 110-meter hurdles competition."
The two big black guys, Alcides and Gomez, were a little confused at the moment. Percival, who happened to pass by, turned around and looked at Su Zhe as if he had seen a ghost after hearing what Su Zhe said.
Alcides and the other man had the same reaction, with their hands spread out beside their heads, looking incredulous.
What can they say?
The world is so wonderful?
However, the sudden emergence of Holness at that time had already made them mentally prepared to a certain extent. They also knew that Holness had a certain talent in the 100-meter sprint. Although he did not break the 10-second mark, he was very close.
[Could it be possible that athletes who are over 180cm tall are good at both the 110m hurdles and the 100m sprint?]
The brain circuits of Alcides and Gomez were miraculously synchronized at this moment.
While they were chatting, the referee team had already tallied the scores of all the players.
In the commentary room of Japan's Osaka TV Station, Kappei Ishida's eyes lit up, and after seeing the players' results, he quickly began reporting.
"Dear viewers, now we are announcing the final results of the 110m hurdles event of the 2022 Osaka Golden Athletics Challenge! First place, Su Zhe (China), 13.11 seconds (wind speed +0.8m/s), personal best, second place, Alcides (Spain), 13.16 seconds (wind speed +0.8m/s), third place, Gomez (Brazil), 13.21 seconds (wind speed +0.8m/s)..."
After all the athletes' results were broadcasted, Ishida Ippei praised with admiration: "Let us congratulate the athlete Su from the Chinese Empire! This is his first career battle in the 110-meter hurdles event, and also his first gold medal in the 110-meter hurdles event... What an incredible athlete! After Chinese 110-meter hurdles athletes Zhou and Ye, China has become the first athlete to win the 110-meter hurdles. There is now a new target for Japanese athletes to tremble at in the 110-meter hurdles... This beautiful fairy on the track may become a nightmare for many athletes in the future! "Whether Su Zhe will become a nightmare for many hurdle athletes, Chinese track and field fans and spectators do not know, but they know that soon more people will go crazy because of Su Zhe.
For example, now.
Subject: [Ahhhhhhhhhh, 13.11 seconds!!!]
Subject content: [I knew Zhe Shao was awesome, but I didn’t expect him to be this awesome…! I was stunned when Zhe Shao beat Alcides and Gomez, but I never expected that Zhe Shao would win in 13.11 seconds???
According to Zhe Shao's steady progress in the 100m, is it possible that he will break the 13.10 mark this year? ! 】
3L: [What a coincidence, brother, I am also confused. You said that Zhe Shao has such achievements and such level, why didn’t he participate in the 110-meter hurdles competition before? ? ? ]
In the kingdom of track and field, after the initial shock and disbelief of track and field fans faded away, their moods all turned into shock and confusion. However, this confusion did not last long, as most track and field fans already had a clear idea of the problem.
5L: [What else could this be? Zhe Shao’s previous figure skating achievements are not only unique in China, but also top in the world. Zhe Shao’s contributions to figure skating over the years are so important, plus the medal-winning mission in this year’s Winter Olympics, is it possible for the figure skating team to let him go?
The figure skating team cannot use square legs, and as for the track and field team, the 100-meter event is supervised by Su Lao Hu himself. Besides, Zhe Shao almost got into trouble because of the multi-event issue. If he hadn't held on, it is still unclear whether we can have new athletes in the 100-meter event like Chen Da Shen and Zhe Shao did.
In this case, even if the track and field team knew about Zhe Shao's talent in the 110-meter hurdles, wouldn't Jun Ye and Jue Ge'er have already taken care of the 110-meter hurdles? To be honest, it wasn't that urgent.
As they struggled with each other, it was impossible for Zhe Shao to compete in the 110-meter hurdles. Besides, apart from the above matters, the intensity of his training could not be increased any further. 】
The person who was speaking on the 5th floor was also a veteran in the track and field forum. Everyone actually understood what he said, and everyone finally figured out one thing - why Su Zhe inexplicably took on the role of assistant coach across hurdles and specifically coached Ye Jun.
Perhaps it is because Su Zhe himself has such natural skills in the 110-meter hurdles, or perhaps he has a certain degree of experience and vision in the 110-meter hurdles, that when he is unable to personally participate in the 110-meter hurdles, he turns to make these attempts as a coach.
In any case, after this Osaka Golden Challenge, Su Zhe quickly emerged in the 110-meter hurdles. Even the IAAF noticed Su Zhe, this amazing cross-sport talent. On the official website of the IAAF, an article was written about Su Zhe, which included his historical achievements in figure skating, 100-meter sprinting, and the latest 110-meter hurdles. This completely shocked many track and field fans who were originally unaware of Su Zhe's achievements in other events.
On the domestic Weibo, the official Weibo account of the national track and field team quickly posted the news as soon as Su Zhe's Osaka station results came out.
National Track and Field Team: [In the 110m hurdles competition at the World Track and Field Challenge Osaka Station held today, our athlete @Su Zhe competed in Osaka for the first time as a 110m hurdles athlete. He won the championship with a time of 13.11 seconds in the competition with world-class athletes such as Alcides, Gomez, and Percival! At the same time, this is also the best result achieved by our 110m hurdles athletes in the past 10 years! ]
Yes, since Song Chen retired, few people in China have ever broken the 13.20 mark before Su Zhe. And the athletes who have broken the 13.20 mark may have achieved a short-lived result, or athletes of the same generation as Song Chen have already retired. Apart from these, among Ye Jun and Zhou Tianjue, who have persisted until now, the one who has the best hope of breaking the 13.20 mark is Ye Jun's result of 13.21 at the Tokyo Olympics two years ago.
No matter what, the emergence of Su Zhe once again brought surprise and hope to the public, and the three cross-hurdle swordsmen led by him easily tore apart the Asian arena.
In the same year, Ye Jun and Zhou Tianjue also broke the 13.20 mark.
Ye Jun, 29 years old at the time, and Zhou Tianjue, 23 years old, were surprisingly comparable in performance and condition in the 110-meter hurdles. Ye Jun's late bloomer, his accumulated experience, and his spirit of hard work and striving for progress have always been talked about by domestic track and field fans.
At the 2022 World Cup in Athletics, Su Zhe met his former rival Holness for the first time. Unfortunately, in this game, Su Zhe failed to successfully defeat his old opponent. This legendary genius from Jamaica seemed to be even stronger than before when Su Zhe met him in this life.
However, no matter how powerful he is, Holness's eccentric personality remains the same. After meeting Su Zhe for the first time, he hugged him and cried, saying that he had heard the name "Chinese Su" for a long time... Of course, Holness's original words were even more bizarre.
"Oh! It's you! You are China Su! I have wanted to meet you for a long time, but unfortunately we haven't been able to meet each other in this year's competition schedule... But it's not too late to meet you today, and you are indeed as short as me!"
… …
_(:з」∠)_
Well, Su Zhe already knew the character of this old rival and old friend.
Sure enough, Holness then hugged him and insisted on forming a dwarf king combination with him. From then on, they dominated the world 110-meter hurdles event, leaving those tall athletes with no way out.
Even a mediocre player like Zhou Tianjue was stunned after hearing what Holness said.
Although Su Zhe failed to defeat his old rival Holness in the 110-meter hurdles in 2022, his breakthrough in the 100-meter event once again shocked the world.
At the 2022 Diamond League, Su Zhe broke the 9.80 second barrier in the 100m for the first time, entering a whole new world of speed.
As the first yellow man to break through this level, he overturned all previous experts' arguments - after all, a few years ago, the limit of yellow men was stuck above the 10-second mark and was considered an insurmountable boundary.
After that, in 2023, Su Zhe easily won the double championship of the Asian Championships. In the same year, at the World Athletics Championships, he not only won the men's 100m championship, but also defeated Holness, who was known as the "greatest 110m hurdles talent of this century", for the first time, making the dwarf king scream and swear to regain victory in the next game.
As time goes by, this legendary figure skater who once stood at the top of the Winter Olympics has continued to achieve incredible results in track and field events.
Over the past two years, Su Zhe's former figure skating fans, including the national figure skating team, have been paying attention to all of Su Zhe's performances. The official Weibo account of the national figure skating team has been at odds with the official Weibo account of the national track and field team for many years. For all the news released by the track and field team, the figure skating team will readjust the wording, changing the four words "track and field star" to "retired top figure skating athlete Su Zhe" and then re-publish it.
Whether they are just spectators or sports enthusiasts, they all like to follow the official Weibo accounts of the two national teams and watch them fight endlessly over the ownership of Su Zhe.
2024, with the arrival of this time point, also means the arrival of a new Olympic year!
In the Olympics held in Paris, the Chinese track and field team competed in the 110-meter hurdles for the first time with a full team of three athletes: Su Zhe, Zhou Tianjue and Ye Jun.
In addition, Su Zhe and Zhao Zhixuan also qualified for the men's 100m event. --
The arrival of the Olympic year has once again aroused the attention of all sports enthusiasts or ordinary bystanders to sports events. Now, there are legendary athletes like Su Zhe in the country. No matter who they are, they all enjoy discussing topics related to Su Zhe.
This 26-year-old legendary star has been creating miracles continuously since his debut in the sports world. When people think he has reached the top of an event, he will soon create a new legend.
In today's track and field world, not only domestic track and field enthusiasts regard Su Zhe as a legend, but also countless track and field fans around the world are amazed at the strength and legend of the "Chinese Su" every day. --
Since the IAAF released Su Zhe's legendary cross-discipline identity on its official website, someone in China quickly produced video footage of Su Zhe's career and achievements since his debut and growth. These video footage, combined with the documentary that the sports channel had recorded for Su Zhe, were integrated into a 2-hour documentary for Su Zhe fans, with English subtitles.
This documentary was posted on YouTube and shared on different social networks such as Instagram and Facebook as well as major international professional forums.
The documentary, named "Su Zhe, a Legend Across Figure Skating, 100m and 110m Hurdles", shocked some viewers right away with its straightforward name. Coupled with the attention of Su Zhe's existing figure skating and track and field fans, it quickly swept the YouTube click list and was pushed to more potential interested followers.
It was also this documentary that allowed spectators around the world to truly get to know this formidable Chinese genius, including his identity as a figure skater, a 100-meter sprinter, and a 110-meter hurdles athlete, as well as his identity as an assistant coach for the 110-meter hurdles, which he still holds today.
After all, before this, how many people knew that this scary guy was not only a top athlete himself, but also trained Olympic-level players during his career?
This documentary has once again created a trend called 'Chinese Su' around the world.
At this time, with the 2024 Olympic year approaching, Su Zhe fans all over the world are discussing regardless of nationality - in this grand event, what kind of results can this legendary athlete from China achieve?
