Putting aside Bolt's side, there won't be any big problems with Mills here.
On Su Feng's side, after the Osaka Grand Prix, he set off for Eugene, USA as originally planned, where a group of experts were already waiting for him.
On May 14, 2009, Hayward Stadium in Eugene, more than 20,000 spectators filled the entire stadium.
Although Hayward Stadium is one of only five first-level venues in the world certified by the IAAF, it is not large in scale and its capacity of more than 20,000 spectators has reached its limit.
At the edge of the runway, hundreds of media outlets across the United States have already set up their long guns and short cannons, including n and other large mainstream American media.
Moreover, this game will be broadcast live across the United States by American television giants ABC, Fox, CNN, etc.!
This kind of standard of treatment is unimaginable even in the United States, where track and field is well developed.
As for the reason, it is naturally that Su Feng will appear in this game!
Even if Bolt doesn't come and we can't see the battle between the two kings, it doesn't matter. Only Su Feng is enough. For the time being, the only athlete in the world who can run under 9.60 seconds is the only one among more than 7 billion people in the world.
, isn’t it still worth seeing?
Speaking of which, Eugene's audience's attitude towards Su Feng has changed many times.
The first time was when Su Feng landed in the United States to participate in track and field competitions for the first time after winning the men's bronze medal at the Athens Olympics.
At that time, the audience in Eugene had no other thoughts about Su Feng except curiosity. Even if they knew that Su Feng had won the Olympic bronze medal, other than a surprised "Oh", they would not care anymore.
Because in the United States, the only people who can run fast are black people. This is a stereotype that has been formed for a long time. Even white people could not break it, let alone Su Feng at that time.
The second time was the next year. Su Feng defeated various famous American players many times in a row. Eugene and the audience across the United States wanted to see an American defeat Su Feng, but of course they failed in the end.
By the third time, the audience in Eugene had begun to be conquered by Su Feng's performance. A large number of viewers "defected", broke away from the shackles of the country, and began to cheer for Su Feng.
The fourth time was last year. At that time, Su Feng was already famous and unrivaled. Eugene and the American audience had also accepted this fact. At that time, China's economic size and strength were not big enough to scare Americans.
To this extent, it is not difficult for the audience to accept a Chinese winning consecutive games in the United States.
The fifth time is now. At this time, Su Feng has become the one they look up to. Everyone is looking forward to and waiting to see Su Feng's heroic appearance.
If it were another competition, there might be some problems, but Su Feng ran 100 meters and is now at the peak of human speed, and is constantly expanding the limits of human speed to higher places. This makes most people
People have abandoned all kinds of prejudices and just want to see where the limits of human beings are.
At 19:30 in the evening, the game is about to start.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am ABC's ace commentator Lauren Cairns. For this game, we also invited the former world sprint king, Mr. Morris Green, to our live broadcast room, and we will explain this game in detail for you.
Green, you have become rich. Now several major TV stations are trying to grab you. Our TV station must have given you a lot of money in order to grab you. Can you share it?"
Green obviously rolled his eyes at Keynes, and then said: "What does it mean to be the former world sprint king? You don't need to emphasize the past. As for the money, the generous ABC TV station naturally paid me a satisfactory amount of dollars. Anyway, you know it. You'll be surprised too," Green said proudly.
In the United States, talking about money is not a shameful thing. If you obtain money through legal means, especially a large amount of money, it is a very honorable thing. It proves that you are capable and no one will attack you for it.
Of course, when it comes to specific numbers, this is private in the United States. Green will not disclose it to the outside world, and Keynes has no intention of letting Green really say it.
He just asked this to warm up the atmosphere and let the audience quickly know the intensity of the competition, and nothing can make people understand the intensity more easily than talking about money.
After looking at the director's gesture, Keynes knew it was time to get to the point and let Green express his own opinions. This is where his value can be reflected.
"Okay, let's get back to business and focus on the current competition. Morris, as the strongest sprinter in the world at one time, what do you think of Su Feng's time of 9.59 seconds?"
"Oh my god, I can only say that when I saw the news, my reaction would only be greater than that of you and the audience. As ordinary people on the track and field, you can know that this result is amazing, but It is absolutely impossible to understand its significance and difficulty.
Oh my God, this result is 0.2 seconds higher than my world record of 9.79 seconds! This is 0.2 seconds within 9 seconds 80. It can be said that the difficulty difference between 0.2 seconds within 9 seconds 80 within 10 seconds is doubled. ten times!
When I was still participating in competitions, I never thought that anyone could run under 9.6 seconds in the 100 meters. Even under 9.7 seconds was just an ideal. No one thought that it could be achieved. , this is really too difficult, if it were me, I might directly tear my Achilles tendon."
"As a top sprinter, can you tell us about another issue? Audiences across the United States and around the world are curious now, which is why Bolt did not participate in the Osaka Grand Prix and broke the record in Suzhou. After that, what do you think Bolt will be doing, and is he capable of raising the world record higher?"
"Well, before the Osaka Grand Prix, I thought Bolt was wary of Su Feng, so he didn't participate. He wanted to see Su Feng's skills through the competition, but unexpectedly, Su Feng came directly. Big explosion.
Now Bolt is probably hiding in a corner silently absorbing the pressure. After all, the Jamaican media just described him as a national hero, but Su Feng immediately took back the world record.
And for athletes, 9.6 seconds and 9.5 seconds are two completely different results, which means another level.
Although I think Bolt also has the ability to break this boundary, before he really breaks it, I am afraid that the pressure on him will be unprecedentedly strong.
I also competed against Donovan Bailey. When I ran 9.79 seconds, I broke the world record of 9.84 seconds he set at the Atlanta Olympics. This is similar to the current situation, so my analysis in this aspect is absolutely You can’t be wrong, even if it is only 0.01 seconds, the psychological pressure caused to the athletes is unprecedented at the critical point.
Not to mention that Bolt and Su Feng are now so well-known around the world.
Of course, there are considerable business interests involved here. Bolt should be a money-loving person like me, so even if it is for money, I think he will bear a lot of pressure.
It's really a pity. If I had been born a few years later, I might not have come to ABC to get the tens of thousands of dollars in commentary fees, but I would have gone to the venue to earn money from advertisers, which is millions of dollars in endorsement fees."
"Ahem, Maurice, I'm not knocking you. Although we all know the honors you have received, there is still a gap between your results and those of Su Feng and Bolt."
"Of course I know, but beyond 100 meters, I am the first person in history to run 60 meters in 6.40 seconds. I am also the first person in history to hold world records for 50 meters, 60 meters and 100 meters at the same time. Comprehensive
Strength and influence are not limited to the 100 meters.
I admit that I may not be as good as Su Feng and Bolt, but if I had not been injured, my peak performance would not have been comparable to Gatlin and Tyson Gay. The million dollars I mentioned also refer to them.
Su Feng and Bolt are worth tens of millions of dollars."
