For track and field competitions held outdoors, outdoor wind and rain are also one of the venue factors that athletes cannot avoid and will definitely encounter.

In events such as sprinting and long jump, if there is a favorable wind and the wind speed is strong, it will affect the athletes' performance to a certain extent. Many athletes have achieved their personal bests under such favorable conditions. It is precisely because wind speed has a real impact on athletes' performance that in official competitions, when the wind speed exceeds 2 meters per second, any record-breaking performance of athletes will not be recognized by the IAAF.

As an athlete, when competing in outdoor venues, it is impossible to only enjoy the performance bonus brought by a tailwind. Headwinds, rain, etc. are also real factors that athletes must face.

When Su Zhe, Zheng Jian, Zhao Zhixuan and his father Su Yinsheng arrived at the scene, the drizzle was still falling.

Su Yinsheng frowned, obviously having a headache about the situation on the field. It was not because he was worried about the impact on his disciples and Su Zhe's participation in the competition, but because he was worried that the rain would affect the performance of the athletes, ultimately making it impossible for some athletes in disadvantaged events who originally had hopes of meeting the standards to qualify for the World Championships.

After Su Zhe and his team arrived at the stadium and finished getting ready, the men's pole vault final just began. Amid the sound of pouring rain, the enthusiasm of both the athletes on the field and the spectators in the stands who came to watch the game in the rain was not diminished in the slightest by the weather.

Whenever the athletes successfully jumped over the bar, the spectators in the viewing area would respond with warm applause, giving the athletes the most enthusiastic encouragement.

In the player preparation area, Su Zhe was watching the race in the rain while thinking about how to arrange the several games he was going to participate in tonight.

According to the original plan, he should have done the same as in the morning, taking advantage of the more abundant physical strength in the first 100m preliminaries in the evening, and sprinted for the world championship qualifying standard score of 10.10 in the men's 100m sprint, but the rain now completely disrupted his plan.

The track in the rain is different from usual times. It will be slippery, so during the competition, you must be more careful than usual to avoid slipping on the track, which will not only affect your results but may even cause injuries.

At the same time, he has three races tonight. As he is not familiar with the track in the rain, the best way is to hold back a little in the preliminaries. After trying to get familiar with the track, he can be relatively relaxed and adapt in the last two races.

The sudden rain did cause some troubles for Su Zhe, but who can guarantee that everything will go smoothly on the court? Since he has chosen to step onto the court, these accidents are obstacles that he must face and overcome.

Recalling the thrill of racing on the track in the morning, Su Zhe narrowed his eyes and showed a determined look towards the next race.

While Su Zhe was thinking about the next race arrangements, other athletes participating in the men's 100m preliminaries had arrived one after another.

After seeing Su Zhe, Wang Ming and Meng Hao both walked up to him and greeted him with a smile. Both of them had watched the men's 110-meter hurdles preliminaries in the morning and knew that Su Zhe's foot injury had completely healed and he was in good shape. They all congratulated Su Zhe on winning a seat in the competition.

"Boy, you run so fast. I think my nickname 'Meng Ge' is more suitable for you." Meng Hao patted Su Zhe's shoulder with a look of admiration on his face.

Wang Ming smiled and said, "Come on, people call Su Zhe 'Master Zhe', how cool is that? You should keep the title of 'Brother Meng' for yourself."

Everyone was chatting and laughing as they began to stretch and do various warm-up exercises in the preparation area. In such a rainy day event, adequate warm-up exercises must be done to avoid or reduce the possibility of injury.

The time soon came to 18:33, and the first group of athletes had already gone to the starting area to make final preparations before the race. Zhao Zhixuan and Zheng Jian were also in this group of preliminary teams.

At the commentary desk, Zhang Jing and Wang Miaochuan also began to explain today's 100m preliminaries.

Zhang Jing: "The audience watching the live broadcast should have known that it has been raining in L City since this afternoon. This will make the track slippery and the athletes lose body temperature quickly, which is very unfavorable for tonight's 100-meter sprint preliminaries and 110-meter hurdles finals."

Wang Miaochuan: "It is unavoidable to face adverse factors on the field, but we can see that the athletes at the starting line are still full of enthusiasm and have no fear of competing in the rain. We also hope that the athletes can continue to achieve excellent results!"

The pre-match preparation time ended quickly. The referee on the field fired the starting gun, and all the athletes at the starting line reacted quickly and sprinted forward.

Perhaps due to the weather, the athletes' reaction speed to the gun was slowed down. At the start, only Zhao Zhixuan and Zheng Jian still maintained a relatively fast reaction.

The two of them took the top two spots by virtue of their reaction advantage at the start. Meng Hao, who was also competing in this race, was not to be outdone. Although his speed was a little slower at the start, he still accelerated rapidly in the sprint phase and soon caught up with Zhao Zhixuan and Zheng Jian.

On the track, after entering the high-speed state, the three of them competed with each other, biting each other's speed, while trying to maintain their own rhythm, and trying to surpass their opponents further.

The spectators in the stands also waved small flags and blew trumpets to cheer for the athletes who fought in the rain. The entire stadium did not lose its original passionate atmosphere even though the temperature dropped due to the rain.

The 100-meter distance passed in a flash. In the final sprint, Zhao Zhixuan surpassed Zheng Jian and Meng Hao by half a body length and crossed the finish line first. In the end, Zhao Zhixuan won the first place in the preliminaries with a score of 10.20, Meng Hao and Zheng Jian ranked second and third with scores of 10.23 and 10.27 respectively.

Wang Miaochuan: "It can be seen that the rain still had some impact on the athletes' condition. Everyone did not let go of the speed. But I believe that after the preliminaries, the athletes have adapted and become familiar with the characteristics of the wet track, and will be able to run in better condition in the final later in the race."

After the first group of players finished their matches, Su Zhe, Wang Ming and other players from the second preliminary group also stepped onto the field, entered their respective lanes, and began to make simple pre-match preparations.

In the second group of men's 100m preliminaries, Su Zhe was not very familiar with the remaining athletes except Wang Ming. But before the game, Wang Ming also introduced him to two young athletes who broke their personal bests this season, namely Wang Qin and Qiu Xinchu.

Qiu Xinchu was obviously not good at communicating with others. After Wang Ming introduced them to each other, he just said hello to Su Zhe in a dull manner. Wang Qin, on the other hand, was much more active. After saying hello to Su Zhe, he enthusiastically praised Su Zhe's achievements and bluntly revealed that he had also forwarded the topic that wanted Su Zhe to get out of the sports circle, and he also sincerely apologized to Su Zhe.

As he participated in more and more competitions, more and more spectators recognized him and began to support him. At the same time, the recognition of the athletes also allowed Su Zhe to further integrate with the sports circle.

With a sigh of relief, Su Zhe stood at the starting line and performed the final stretching preparations.

The rain from the sky was falling heavily and seemed to be getting heavier. Most of the players' hair was wet, and Su Zhe's hair was no exception. He used his hands to push his slightly long hair back, revealing his smooth forehead. The rain-wet hair looked like a deliberately slicked back hair, which made him look a bit domineering.

After Su Zhe came on the court, many spectators in the stands who had just been impressed by Su Zhe's momentum this morning shouted and cheered for Su Zhe in the next game.

After warming up, all the athletes have already squatted on their starting blocks, ready to start the race at any time.

"Ready—on your positions—"

The referee's voice sounded at the right time, the contestants quickly got ready, and then the starting gun sounded.

"Bang"!

The game begins!

After the starting gun sounded, the athletes quickly burst forward and sprinted forward. In just a moment, the hot atmosphere of the competition was set off!

Su Zhe's reaction to the gunshot tonight was still very quick. As soon as the starting gun sounded, he stepped on the starting blocks and completed the first step of the explosive sprint. Afterwards, he swung his arms quickly and powerfully, and with the powerful explosive power of his legs, he increased his starting speed to the highest. At the same time, he began to gradually raise his body, connecting the starting action to the most important acceleration state in the first 30 meters!

Although the wet track had some impact on his ground pushing force, Su Zhe still managed to minimize the impact with his strong body control.

Although the 100-meter sprint only seems to involve running a 100-meter section, the super-strong instantaneous explosive power required will bring a huge load to the athlete's body. When the speed increases to a certain level, the athlete's body muscles will enter a state of hypoxia. At this moment, high-speed and intense running in a hypoxic state is a huge test for the body of the 100-meter sprinter!

Wang Miaochuan: "The second group of preliminaries generally had a faster reaction in the starting phase. The players were in good condition, but the fastest one was Su Zhe! His rapid burst of speed after hearing the gun gave him a big advantage in the acceleration phase on the track!"

In the stands, the shouts of the audience are also stimulating the players' competition nerves. The heated atmosphere and cheers are all support for the players' competition status, allowing the players to mobilize the excitement in their bodies more strongly!

"Come on, Master Zhe!!!"

"Brother Wang, come on!!!"

Amid the fierce shouts, Su Zhe's heart was also more excited because of this hot atmosphere. He kicked his legs more vigorously, and his stride length slightly increased. In the sprint state, he gradually opened up a distance of one body length from the other players behind him!

The pouring rain made it difficult for the players to reach their hottest physical state, and the loss of body temperature also intensified everyone's physical consumption.

After entering the high-speed running stage, Su Zhe clearly felt the loss of physical strength, but he did not pay much attention to it. Instead, he focused on controlling his own rhythm and body strength, stride, and step frequency.

The more easily you feel tired, the more you cannot relax. Otherwise, when your body receives the signal to relax, the originally strong rhythm and state will quickly collapse under this psychological state.

Zhang Jing and Wang Miaochuan were watching the pace of the game at the commentary desk, and at the same time they were worried about the players on the field.

Zhang Jing: "It's raining a bit hard now, which is very unfavorable for the players on the field, but everyone on the field has not relaxed at all and is fighting hard on the field!"

Wang Miaochuan: "Yes, among the players on the track, Su Zhe is still the fastest. You can see that the rain has completely wet Su Zhe's hair and body, but his overall rhythm is still very well controlled. In the middle of the stage, he still occupies the first place with a steady rhythm! ”

Su Zhe's talent for controlling his stride, frequency and even rhythm was clearly demonstrated on this short 100-meter straight track.

Even in a high-intensity anaerobic state, he still has strong control over himself.

Every movement he made while running, the rhythm of his breathing, and every precise and powerful step he took put him in the lead on the field.

At this moment on the court, Su Zhe has immersed all his mind in this short track. His eyes are fixed forward, and the only goal in his mind is the finish line.

He has gradually adapted to the impact of the rain on himself, and the strong grip of his feet allows him to run fast enough even on a wet track.

Hurry up!

He could be faster!

The belief in victory and the instinct to pursue speed made Su Zhe's heart beat even faster.

In a blink of an eye, Su Zhe had entered the final sprint stage. At this time, closely following him were Wang Qin and Qiu Xinchu, whom he had just met!

Before Su Zhe emerged, the two were considered the most promising new athletes in the country. Their common characteristics were strong explosive power and the ability to maintain speed during the mid-run phase. Qiu Xinchu's ability to accelerate in the latter stages was also talked about by track and field fans.

The only shortcoming of the two of them is that their own condition is still not stable enough. In different competitions, due to the ups and downs of their personal conditions, the difference in results even reached 0.35 seconds. This degree of fluctuation in results caused huge changes in their performance in different competitions.

And in this preliminary match at this moment, it was obvious that the two of them were in perfect condition. Even under the pouring rain, they followed Su Zhe closely.

But Su Zhe's attention was not affected at all by their close pursuit.

At this time they have entered the sprint stage. Even though their physical consumption is already enormous, Su Zhe's ability to accelerate in the later stages is still sharp!

After entering the sprint state, Su Zhe's body gradually leaned forward and the angle of his push off the ground was slightly adjusted to make his sprint faster and more powerful.

The atmosphere in the stadium also reached its climax in the sprint stage. Shouts, screams, and horns were heard everywhere, and everyone was shouting the names of the athletes they supported.

"Master Zhe, come on!!!"

"Come on, kid!!!"

Various sounds mixed into the final cheer, spurring the players to keep running forward.

Wang Miaochuan: "In the final 30 meters, Su Zhe still occupies the leading position! The second group behind him is our young athletes Wang Qin and Qiu Xinchu! Qiu Xinchu's ability to accelerate in the latter part is also obvious to all. At this moment, he is not far behind Su Zhe, but it is obvious that Su Zhe's ability to accelerate and sprint in the final stage is still stronger than Qiu Xinchu. His pace rhythm is obviously faster, almost like breaking the rain curtain!"

Zhang Jing: "Cross the finish line!!! Su Zhe is still the first in the men's 100-meter sprint tonight! Qiu Xinchu crossed the line after Su Zhe, and Wang Qin also took the third place! Let's wait for the preliminary results compiled by the referee team later!"

Su Zhe slowed down after crossing the line, and after a short slow run, he gradually stopped.

In this group of preliminaries, he was still the undisputed first, but he couldn't help but have a headache. In the middle of the game, he failed to control his speed according to his original plan and couldn't help but speed up his pace. Now the fatigue of his body has gradually surged up, and in about 20 minutes, he will face the next 110-meter hurdles final.

With my current physical condition, since I have already reached the qualifying standard for the World Championships in the preliminaries this morning, do I have to give up the 110-meter hurdles final later?

When Su Zhe and other players left the field to take shelter from the rain and think about the arrangements for the future events, the commentary desk had already received the corresponding preliminary results.

Zhang Jing: "First place in the preliminaries of this group, Su Zhe: 10.12 (-0.6), Qiu Xinchu, 10.19 (-0.6), Wang Qin: 10.22 (-0.6)..."

Wang Miaochuan's voice was slightly regretful: "Su Zhe's performance in this preliminaries was also very good, but it has not yet reached the World Championships competition standard. The rainy environment and the headwind in this game may have had a certain impact on the players' performance. I hope to see even better performances from the players in the finals tonight!"

Su Zhe frowned when he saw the results announced by the commentator. In the preliminaries just now, although there was rain, he had actually run in a relatively good condition. After such a huge physical exertion, and then the second physical exertion in the 110-meter hurdles... In the 100-meter final in an hour and a half, could he still run a better result?

"Ding—new target mission added."

Just when Su Zhe was having a headache about the next two games, the long-lost system sound rang again.

This stupid system...why did it suddenly appear at this time?

Su Zhe opened the system's task panel with doubts, and then saw the latest target task issued by the sand sculpture system.

Mission objective: Win the 110m hurdles championship at the World Championships Challenge.

Mission Reward: Rapid Physical Recovery Technique.

This reward...

After staring at the reward for more than ten seconds, Su Zhe finally smiled with a firm attitude - since this stupid system cares so much about him, then he should give it another try!
