August 19th was originally a relatively ordinary day for the Olympic Games.
In all competitions, what should be the focus of the competition is the focus of the competition, and the athletes who should be valued and paid attention to will be valued and paid attention to.
Some are dull and some are passionate, but everything is within everyone's expectations.
However, after Bolt completed the 200-meter preliminaries, everything became a little different.
From China to the world, the news that Bolt completed the 200-meter preliminaries with a record-breaking result was sent to the world as quickly as possible along with the photoelectric signal.
Countless TV stations are showing Bolt starting, accelerating, sprinting, finally crossing the line, and even sluggish and running wildly after the game.
In European and American countries, Michael Johnson's phrase "Oh my God, this is not true!" in the CNN commentary was played over and over again. The front pages of newspapers simply used this as the title. Many people saw the same title on newsstands.
newspaper, it took me a while to recognize which one I wanted to buy.
In China, this turmoil is undoubtedly the most serious in the world, because in the men's 200 meters, the two strongest people in the world are now recognized, one is Su Feng and the other is Usain Bolt.
Although the Chinese people were worried before, they generally believed that Su Feng had a higher winning rate and were optimistic.
But after Bolt's time of 19.29 seconds came out, the Chinese audience suddenly became silent. The pin drop at the scene was just a microcosm. In fact, almost all the spectators watching the game in front of the TV were at the same moment.
Lost my voice.
Then comes anxiety and worry.
It's like holding a gold medal with a diamond in your hand, which suddenly seems to be extremely unsafe.
With the current heat of 200 meters, within half a day, most places in China began to discuss this issue.
As for the 110-meter hurdles rematch after the 200-meter preliminaries, Liu Yuxiang and Shi Dongpeng both advanced successfully, while Ji Gang missed the semi-finals with a time of 13.59 seconds. This was not beyond everyone's expectations.
…
"Su Feng, are you okay?" At Nanren Training Base, Su Feng's dormitory, He Jun, Wang Zongfang, and everyone from Su's team all crowded in.
"I said, you don't have to. That kid ran this result today. I don't know why, but it should be almost his current limit. But I didn't reach the limit. I just ran as planned today, didn't I?
.And there are no experts, so why are you running so fast? This 19 seconds 99 is already the result of my last 20 meters." Su Feng was okay, although he was indeed surprised and felt a little burdened, but he still
It's acceptable, Bolt. If he runs 19.19 seconds in the 200 meters now, Su Feng will really have to worry about his gold medal. But in 19.29 seconds, Su Feng feels that he may not be able to run.
"You kid." He Jun frowned and looked at Su Feng, but Su Feng was also an old athlete. If Su Feng deliberately concealed it, He Jun didn't dare to say that he could see his true thoughts.
"Are you really okay?" This question is not only asked by He Jun and Team Su, but also by the leaders.
After the competition in the morning, everyone from the General Administration to the Field Management Center and even higher-level leaders responsible for the Olympics, as well as some leaders who were Su Feng fans, called to ask how the athletes were feeling.
In this way, the gold medal is still not guaranteed.
Some leaders were so big that He Jun had to write them down in a small book, and then he had to reply one by one after Su Feng finished answering.
"Well, I said, Master, isn't it just 19 seconds 29? This is the preliminaries. Only crazy people can run so fast. Don't worry, I am not sure about winning. But before today and now, I am sure about beating him.
They are the same, so you should be relieved."
"Okay, okay, you should have a good rest. There is a rematch in the evening, let's go first." He Jun looked at Su Feng for a minute or two, finally nodded, and left.
"Huh", after the door closed with a click, Su Feng breathed a sigh of relief and fell on the bed.
Sometimes the thing itself does not put much pressure on people, but when coupled with the concern of the people around you, the pressure becomes great.
"Ding ding ding" the phone rang. Su Feng picked it up and saw that it was Liu Yuxiang. Su Feng threw the phone on the bed and dismissed the ring, pretending that he didn't hear it.
"Ding ding ding" "Are you not done yet?"
When the bell rang for the fourth time, Su Feng picked it up and saw that it was Qian Mengli.
"Hey, hey, it's me. I went to the toilet just now. What happened?"
"Are you okay? I just saw the news. Is that Bolt so powerful?"
"No, that's not right. He is quite powerful, but our outcome is still between 50 and 50. It doesn't mean that he will win for sure."
"Oh, then be careful. I won't be able to watch the 200-meter race. I'm sorry."
"No, it's not convenient for you there. Don't worry, I'm still sure of this gold medal."
"Oh, I'll hang up then."
"good."
"Sigh." After hanging up the phone, Su Feng sighed, and then he stood up from the bed with a sudden jerk, and went straight to training without resting.
The 400-meter standard track is relatively empty because it is used by athletes participating in the Olympics at this time.
However, there were many people around to watch, all hiding in the shade. Su Feng watched them whispering to him while running, and shook his head helplessly. It seemed that this matter could not be avoided.
"Bolt didn't do it on purpose, did he do it to engage in psychological warfare for himself?
Do you want to give your best in the rematch? Forget it, just go step by step, the final is the time to compete with him."
Su Feng suddenly made up his mind and immediately started training without caring about anything else.
However, Su Feng is not as calm as Su Feng on the Internet at this time. This is now a gathering place for young people. In 2008, China's Internet has become relatively developed. Various forums and posts have already gathered a large number of young people. Everyone is
Everyone expressed their opinions, paying attention to Su Feng, or predicting whether Su Feng could win the 200-meter championship again.
"I see, I am not a fan of Su Feng, I am also his fan. The key is that Bolt's 100 meters is not much worse than Su Feng, but he started in the 200 meters, so Su Feng may not be able to win.
Su Feng’s current best time in the 200 meters is 19.42 seconds in the last world championships, which is 0.13 seconds behind. It’s not so easy to catch up.”
"I don't agree. I am also a fan of Su Feng. You also said that Su Feng got a time of 19.42 this time last year. I have seen it. Su Feng's cornering skills were not perfect at the time. Now one year
In the past, Su Feng has practiced for another year. His cornering skills are definitely better, and his absolute speed is stronger than that of the last World Championships. This can be seen from the 100 meters. Therefore, 19 seconds 42 is not Su Feng.
It’s the pinnacle, and I don’t think it’s possible that I won’t be able to run 19.29 seconds.”
"I think what the two people above said are right. What should I do? Is there any master who can make an accurate analysis? Originally, I thought Su Feng would definitely win, but now I really don't know."
By dinner time, there were voices of discussion everywhere across the country, whether in homes, hotels, or beer stalls. A feeling of anxiety began to spread online and in the streets.
