"I Became a Big Star After Leaving the Entertainment Industry" Su Zhe Extra: The Path to Legend (Part 2)



Since Su Zhe officially stepped onto the international stage, he has been known for his amazing stability.

As his performance improves day by day, the name "China Su" has become widely known by track and field enthusiasts not only in China but also internationally. When Su Zhe goes abroad to compete, more and more track and field enthusiasts in the audience have come to support him.

Athletics enthusiasts once compiled Su Zhe's results in all major competitions he participated in. It can be seen that from his debut 19 years ago to the beginning of 2024, his results have always shown a clear upward trend.

The chronology of Su Zhe's historical achievements created by fans records his important achievements along the way.

In 2019, she made her debut and qualified for both the 100m and 110m hurdles events at the World Athletics Championships, becoming the first Chinese athlete to enter the 100m finals at the World Athletics Championships. In the same year, she qualified for both events at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

In 2020, he won bronze medals in both events at the Tokyo Olympics, becoming the first Asian to win the men's 100m sprint at the Olympics, breaking the yellow race's 100m limit to 9.88 seconds. In the same year, he won the year-end championships in both the 100m and 110m hurdles at the Diamond League, and was named the world's No. 1 of the year by the IAAF.

In 2021, he won the Asian Championships, the World Championships, the Diamond League Finals 100m event, and the World Championships and Diamond League Finals 110m hurdles silver medals. In the 2021 season, the yellow race's 100m limit was once again refreshed to a new height of 9.83 seconds;

In 2022, he won the men's 100m and 110m hurdles championships at the World Cup of Track and Field, and defeated his strong rival in the 110m hurdles, Jamaican 110m hurdles genius Holness, for the first time in an international competition. In the same year, Su Zhe won the Diamond League Finals for the third time in a row, becoming the first athlete in history to win the 100m Finals for the third time in a row. His personal PB was refreshed to 9.79 seconds, breaking the 100m speed limit of the yellow race as discussed by experts, and entering a new world of less than 9.80 seconds.

In 2023, Su Zhe, the champion of both events in the Asian Championships and the runner-up of both events in the World Championships, once again broke his personal best with a score of 9.76 in the final, but unfortunately lost to the young American genius Bruis by 0.01 seconds.

In the 110-meter hurdles event, the battle between Holness and Su Zhe has become the highlight of every 110-meter hurdles competition. This year, Su Zhe's personal PB in the 110-meter hurdles has been refreshed to 12.89 seconds, once again leaping into a new era.

At the end of the same year, Su Zhe once again won the Diamond League year-end finals double championship.

Su Zhe's growth over the years has been accompanied by the aging of the previous generation of talented athletes and the rise of a new generation of talented athletes. Athletes in the world of track and field are flourishing, and Su Zhe's performance has been steadily increasing and has not yet reached his limit.

He has redefined and continuously improved the yellow race's 100-meter limit. The world of track and field is watching this 26-year-old talented athlete closely, and is looking forward to what miracles he can create.

At the beginning of 2024, track and field enthusiasts around the world began to speculate whether Su Zhe could win the Olympic championship in both the 100m and 110m hurdles in this Olympic year, achieving an unprecedented double championship in the men's 100m and 110m hurdles events and obtaining a slam dunk in both events.

August 2024, the eve of the Olympics

Since the beginning of the Olympic year, all domestic events have entered a state of intensive preparation, and the national track and field team is no exception.

Chen Zhi has already joined the national team's sprint coaching team, and has been learning relevant coaching experience from Su Yinsheng as an assistant coach.

With a series of new athletics promotion strategies and programs arranged by the Athletics Administration Center, the national team has indeed discovered some good talents in the past few years. Currently, these young athletes aged 17 or 18 are undergoing trial training in the national team. Chen Zhi is temporarily in charge of their related training to see if he can discover young people with sufficient potential among them.

During the preparation period for the Olympics, these young athletes were simply packed up by the national team and sent to overseas training bases, allowing them to experience in advance the intensity of the national team athletes during the preparation stage.

Many of these athletes started to develop an interest in track and field when they were thirteen or fourteen years old because of Su Zhe's rise. It can be said that Su Zhe's rise has effectively led more people to become interested in track and field, and more talented athletes are willing to start trying in this professional direction.

Being able to train with their idols in the same team, even though these little brats are often drained of their last bit of strength by Chen Zhi’s training, they are still very excited.

In the national track and field team, Su Zhe has now become a distinctive representative figure of the track and field team with his own strength, achievements and overwhelming popularity.

Since Chen Zhi retired, the burden on Su Zhe's shoulders has never become lighter, but he has steadily shouldered everyone's expectations of him with his absolute strength, making everything seem like a piece of cake.

In today's international track and field, the landscape of men's 100-meter sprint champions has undergone new changes. Among active athletes, Evenson still holds the highest individual PB, but in recent competitions, he has never been able to break the 9.80 mark again. His dominance in the US team has been challenged by the young athlete Bruises, who emerged two years ago.

A year ago, Bruises ran a time of 9.75 seconds, breaking his personal best and winning the World Championships gold medal. He is now in the ascendant of the US team.

Sandy's competitive form has fluctuated greatly in the past two years. He once had a good result close to 9.80 seconds, but he has never been able to break the 9.80 threshold. When his form was poor, he even failed to enter the finals of the World Championships.

British athlete Baragon has entered a period of explosive performance in the past two years, breaking his personal best from 9.99 to 9.91 in one fell swoop, becoming one of the figures capable of competing at the top of the 100m event.

In Asia, the performance of Japan's Yuki Minamiyama has begun to decline. Currently, the top sprinter in Japan has been replaced by Shota Shiraishi. In the second half of the 2023 season, Shota Shiraishi successfully refreshed Japan's 100m national record from 9.99 to 9.97.

In China, there is no doubt that there is a cliff-like gap between Su Zhe's performance in the 100m event and other athletes. But in addition to him, Zhao Zhixuan has successfully improved his personal PB from 10.05 to 9.98 in recent years, becoming the third Chinese athlete to run under 10 seconds after Chen Zhi and Su Zhe.

In addition to Zhao Zhixuan, Qiu Xinchu, Wang Qin and Zheng Jian have all broken the 10.10 mark. In addition, there are 10 domestic athletes whose personal PB is within 10.20!

China has entered a period of talent outflow in the 100-meter event. Not only has the Athletics Administration Center increased the promotion and preparation of track and field events, but it has also made better adjustments to the reward and incentive mechanisms for talents to mobilize the enthusiasm of athletes and make them dare to challenge, dare to fight, and be willing to fight in the competition.

As the athletes' efforts and strength improve, the 100-meter sprint in domestic track and field events has become more and more watchable, thus attracting more passers-by and track and field enthusiasts who want to watch offline events.

When something has positive guidance and opportunities, it may lead to the rise of a group.

For China's track and field sprinting and hurdles events, Su Zhe was the one who brought the opportunity for change. He almost single-handedly put China's track and field events on a fast track.

In the 110-meter hurdles event, Holness is still the strongest man standing at the top of the world, but he is not the only king standing at the top.

Many years ago, Elanor joked that the future would not be dominated by you, the Dwarf Kings, right?

This joke has now become a frustrating reality for all athletes in the 110-meter hurdles event.

Holness and Suzhe, the two players who did not have an advantage in terms of height, tore through the blockade of players like Lister and Elano in front of them and stood at the top that the other players could only look up to.

The emergence of Holness and Suzhe even made some countries begin to consider training young hurdlers with a height of around 180 cm. However, after screening attempts, everyone finally concluded that the strength of Holness and Suzhe does not lie in their height, and there is no reason for the strength of these two people.

In addition to Holness, a series of veteran 110m hurdles strongmen such as List, Elano, and Alcides will still be active in the competition, while newcomers are also entering this battlefield where strong players gather.

Among the world's top 110-meter hurdles athletes, the most amazing one is Ye Jun from China. This 32-year-old hurdles athlete has a golden age limit in his career, at 27. Before that, his performance could only be considered top-notch in Asia. After he crossed the age of 27, his career experienced an astonishing boom.

The four words "late bloomer" can almost be said to be tailor-made for Ye Jun.

Since 2020, his performance has been improving every year. Although he has been at a disadvantage in terms of explosiveness and physical fitness as he gets older, he once again refreshed his personal PB to 13.06 in the last year. He and Zhou Tianjue are still chasing each other in personal performance.

Su Zhe, Ye Jun and Zhou Tianjue form the three giants of China's 110m hurdles event. They are almost sweeping across Asia, so much so that the national track and field team no longer sends all members of the cross-hurdle group to compete in Asia and abroad.

When the time really entered the Olympic Games period in August, this world-class competition once again attracted the attention of the whole world.

In this Olympics, the national track and field team was given the arduous task of maintaining third place and striving for first place in the men's 100m and 110m hurdles events.

Compared with the goal of entering the finals at the last Tokyo Olympics, the Sports Federation has now clearly placed the men's 100m and hurdles events as key events in its gold medal planning.

This is also a feasible plan arrived at by the Federation of Sports after careful calculation.

Domestic media also found out about the national team's mission this time. The men's 100m and 110m hurdles events received such arduous tasks for the first time. Whether these two tasks can achieve their goals will obviously depend on Su Zhe's personal performance.

The media began to discuss whether the medal-winning tasks in these two events were appropriate, and some people began to summarize in length the tremendous progress China had made in the 100-meter and 110-meter hurdles events in recent years.

[Securing third place and striving for first place! The tough task for the national track and field team’s sprint and hurdle teams! ]

[Is this the national team's mission or Su Zhe's personal mission? On the importance of ace players to the project! ]

[Having already won the World Cup and World Championships in athletics, let's see if Su Zhe can seize the opportunity and win the Olympic gold medal in one fell swoop, achieving a double-success in sprinting and hurdles? ]

Regardless of domestic public opinion, Su Zhe has remained the same for many years, not caring too much about what the outside world says, but instead putting all his attention into training.

Over the years, the Sand Sculpture System has been upgraded again, adding a time flow function, which increases the daily training time limit in the training space from 6 hours to 8 hours.

In fact, daily idol space training is just an option that he can choose to do on his own, but even so, Su Zhe still endured the loneliness and monotony of training and persisted in daily training until the last moment.

If the existence of the system gave Su Zhe a better starting point at the beginning, then in the long journey that followed, it was Su Zhe's own love and persistence for track and field that truly enabled him to continuously explore the path of the limit.

Su Zhe never mentions the hardship of training. For him, since he loves track and field, he is naturally willing to fight for better results on the track. Since he is an athlete, training is an athlete's responsibility.

In all his interviews, he never mentioned the hardships in training, until this Olympic year, when the Sports Channel once again visited the national track and field team and recorded Su Zhe's training process at the overseas training base.

During the filming of this documentary about the track and field team's preparation for the Olympics, the crew was stunned by the amount of training Su Zhe put in after following him through a full day of training for the first time.

Compared with the training content in the live broadcast of the track and field team five years ago, Su Zhe's current training difficulty and intensity can be said to be even more difficult and intense. It was not until the track and field team teammates such as Zhao Zhixuan, Zhou Tianjue, and Ye Jun spoke that the documentary crew was able to piece together what Su Zhe's day-to-day training was like.

On the eve of the Olympics, the sports channel broadcast the documentary titled "What You Don't Know About the Olympics" in advance. All the audiences who came to watch it with great interest fell into silence after watching it.

Persistence, love, self-discipline and loneliness, these four key words run through the Su Zhe chapter in this documentary.

It was at this time that everyone realized that it was not just Su Zhe. As the athletes' performance continued to reach new heights, everyone began to take their performance growth for granted. People were more willing to use the word "genius" to describe them, while ignoring the effort and hard work behind their genius and achievements.

It was also due to this promotional video that many people readjusted their attitude towards athletes.

Under the watchful eyes of the public, during the Paris Olympics, Su Zhe lived up to expectations and easily made it into the finals of the men's 100m and 110m hurdles with his stable results and form.

In the 100m event, apart from Su Zhe, Zhao Zhixuan was defeated in the semi-finals. In the 110m hurdles event, Zhou Tianjue performed poorly in the semi-finals and failed to make it to the finals, while Ye Jun ranked 6th in the semi-finals and successfully made it to the final list.

Just like in the Tokyo Olympics, the first event to be held was the men's 100m final.

On this day, the stadium and the audience seats were dotted with Chinese national flags. Some of the spectators holding the Chinese national flags were Chinese citizens who came from thousands of miles away to watch the game in Paris, and some were Su Zhe's international fans.

Zheng Wensheng also sat in the Chinese players' area in the audience, but compared to his past, he is now much calmer and more composed.

Su Zhe's achievements and stable performance are the capital that allows him to sit here so calmly.

On the field, Su Zhe was standing in the fifth lane. Next to him were Brutus from the US team and Baragon from the British team.

Brutus did not take Su Zhe seriously. In his opinion, Su Zhe's performance was not as good as Evanson's, and Evanson was already defeated by him. For a front wave like Su Zhe, since he had already defeated him once, there would be a second, third, and fourth time...

Except for the inexperienced Brutus, none of the remaining players, including Evanson, dared to underestimate the Chinese youth standing calmly at the starting line. They all clearly experienced the sense of oppression that the owner of this calm face would bring to others after the start of the competition.

When the eight athletes on the field squatted on the starting blocks under the guidance of the referee, the spectators on the scene restrained their cheers and waited for the moment when the athletes started running.

"Everyone, take your positions."

"Be prepared."

"Bang."

After the crisp sound of gunfire, eight athletes on the track responded, and under everyone's attention, a figure in a red competition uniform rushed to the front of everyone from the start of the race!

On the track, from the moment Su Zhe started running, the passion and strength surging in his body urged him to sprint forward at the fastest speed and with the most vigorous steps!

This power surging from deep within his heart brought him a wonderful premonition of victory.

On the track, he could already clearly feel that his body was in an absolutely excited state. This feeling of excitement was suppressed by his high level of rationality and control over his body, and then they merged together.

On this short track, he swings his arms, drives his body, swings his hips, and increases his stride length and frequency.

The oncoming air seemed to have formed a barrier in front of him, but was torn apart and broken through by his powerful strength.

When an athlete's condition exceeds a certain level, and he or she has precise control over his or her own technical movements through rigorous training, what kind of results can he or she achieve?

Su Zhe felt that at this moment, he was qualified enough to answer this question.

crush.

On this track, from Brutus to Evenson, and then to Baragon, no matter which opponent, they were all left far behind by Suzhe. Even Brutus, who was closest to Suzhe, was at least 1 meter away from him.

All the spectators in the stadium went crazy after seeing this scene, including Zheng Wensheng in the Chinese player area, who originally thought he was calm enough. He was so shocked that he stood up with his eyes wide open.

In China, Zhang Jing and Wang Miaochuan, who were broadcasting the live broadcast of the game on the sports channel, were both well-known commentators with a certain level of experience in the domestic commentary industry. At this moment, they were so excited that they could not control their voices.

"Su Zhe!! He has been leading the race since the start!"

"This is a naked crush!!"

“Come on Suzhe!!! Come on Suzhe!!!”

As they gave their passionate commentary, Su Zhe on the field did just as they said, crossing the finish line of the track alone in an unstoppable manner!

Amid the roar of the entire stadium, Suzhe slowed down his pace and looked back, and at this time, Brutus barely crossed the finish line.

The gap was so big that even Brutus, who had just crossed the finish line, showed a puzzled look. He then stared at Su Zhe with wide eyes, unable to believe the result Su Zhe had achieved.

When the referee team announced the final results, the scene was once again in an uproar.

"The results of the Paris Olympics men's 100m finals: first place, Su Zhe (China), 9.69 seconds (wind speed +0.6m/s)!!!"

9.69 seconds?!

It’s 9.69 seconds!!!

While top 100m runners around the world are still aiming to break the 9.80 second barrier, this terrifying Chinese runner has once again broken the 9.70 second barrier?!

This is the fourth athlete in history to break into the 9.70 second limit under legal wind speed (wind speed +2.0m/s), and the only active athlete to break into the 9.70 second limit.

Not only that, he is also the first non-black athlete to break into the 9.70 second limit.

When the results were officially announced, everyone who had been following the game went wild with excitement.

"Su Zhe, after today's battle, he is already an undeniable legend! The first non-black 100-meter athlete to break the 9.70-second barrier! His achievements are not only a Chinese miracle, an Asian miracle, I think, with his current achievements, he will definitely be worthy of the title, a miracle and treasure of this world!"

In the live commentary, Zhang Jing and Wang Miaochuan's comments have completely put aside the Olympic gold medal. The score of 9.69 seconds has a more precious meaning than the Olympic gold medal.

In the Chinese player booth at the competition venue, Zheng Wensheng was almost speechless. He didn't even know whether he should be excited about Su Zhe winning the Olympic gold medal or excited about Su Zhe's achievement which could be called a miracle.

When his mind was in a mess, Zheng Wensheng suddenly asked a soul-searching question.

"...Su Zhe has already broken the yellow race's 100-meter limit to 9.69 seconds. So what is the yellow race's true 100-meter limit?"

…………

This is a really good question. If when Su Zhe broke the Asian 100m record from Chen Zhi's 9.90 to 9.88, it was still a level that the yellow race could achieve, then after Su Zhe gradually refreshed his personal PB to less than 9.80, the performance gap between the Asian record and the ordinary top Asian athletes has reached an exaggerated level.

Not to mention the current 9.69 seconds. Not to mention the yellow people, has anyone among our white brothers ever achieved such a result so far?

No.

When everyone calmed down, although they understood the fact, they could only sigh in amusement - Su Zhe's achievements could no longer be called a human being. He was a god that countless people needed to look up to.

This was Su Zhe's battle to become a god, and also a highlight in his legendary journey.

In this Paris Olympics, Su Zhe became a legend with a 100-meter score of 9.69 seconds; at the same time, in the 110-meter hurdles final, he also relied on excellent condition and a score of 12.86 seconds to defeat his fierce rival Holness and win the Olympic gold medal in the 110-meter hurdles.

At this point, Su Zhe successfully became the only athlete in history to win gold medals in both the 100m and 110m hurdles events at the World Athletics Championships, the Athletics World Cup and the Olympics.

He has already won the Grand Slam in both events.

Just as people say.

At this time, Su Zhe was already an undeniable legend.

And in the future, this legendary journey will continue.

No one can see what the end of the legend looks like.

Most people just looked at the legendary figure named Su Zhe with admiration.

The author has something to say: Uh ah, sorry, I was late for TV tonight. I used the excuse of my birthday to go to Xiamen on Saturday and hang out. I thought I could finish typing before going out at night, but I got stuck while typing in the hotel at noon. I'm really sorry orz
