"Athens Olympic Games news, Chinese youngster Su Feng achieved another great result in the men's 100-meter preliminaries, entering the quarter-finals with a time of 10.16, and breaking the domestic 100-meter record of 10.17 that has been dusted for many years."
"Breaking news, my country's 17-year-old Su Feng, who competed in the Olympics for the first time, achieved another great result in the men's 100-meter preliminaries."
At this time, online media has just emerged, but it is undeniable that online media responds much faster than traditional media.
As soon as Su Feng's morning results came out, within two hours, several major domestic portals had put his news on the front page.
It is now 2004, and the BJ Olympics will be held in four years. Therefore, the topic of the Olympics, especially the good results achieved by our athletes, is popular among the people.
Moreover, it is the time of the Olympics, so the importance of several major websites to the Olympics has far exceeded that of celebrities.
Any athlete who achieves good results will immediately be treated as front page.
"10 seconds 16? Is this fast? It's not even 10 seconds yet?" Some netizens left a message below.
But then he was sprayed half-dead by knowledgeable netizens, "If you don't understand the above, don't say it. This is already the best result of a Chinese athlete, ten seconds. No one in Asia has broken ten seconds. It should be said that yellow people plus white people
You haven’t broken ten seconds yet, what are you thinking about?”
"Niu, I'm seventeen years old, I'm still in high school, and I've already made a name for myself for the country."
…
Su Feng naturally couldn't see this. At this time, he had already obtained his own ranking for this round of competition.
"Fifth group, fifth lane."
This is a very good pass, which is related to Su Feng’s results in the first round.
"But", Su Feng glanced at the muscular black athlete who was also doing warm-up exercises not far away, and murmured with a serious look: "Alpha Powell."
Su Feng's running style is modeled after Alpha Powell.
In the just past Jamaican National Championships, Powell set a new national record in Jamaica with a time of 9.91 seconds. Su Feng's time before coming to Athens cannot be matched by any means.
There is another one.
Su Feng looked back and saw that on the other side of him, there was a black athlete with a mustache, Maurice Green, the 60-meter record holder at the Indoor Track and Field Championships and the world record holder.
It was he who set the men's 100-meter world record to 9.79 seconds, breaking the 9.80 seconds that experts predicted at the time would be the limit of human speed.
At this stage of the men's 100-meter semi-finals, almost every group includes famous athletes. The fastest people on the planet are gathered together. No matter which group they are in, there is no comparison.
However, Su Feng's group is even more terrifying.
Powell, before the appearance of the Jamaica Lightning, was also the world record holder and broke the world record many times.
"It seems like we're going to have to fight hard here."
The format of the semi-finals is forty to sixteen.
The top three from each of the five semi-final groups will advance to the semi-finals, and then the best among the remaining 25 people will also advance to the semi-finals.
Su Feng didn't dare to bet on the final ranking, so he had to get into the top three, otherwise he wouldn't have a chance to realize his potential even if he still had it.
On the sidelines, the coaching staff shook their heads after receiving Su Feng's grouping, including Lao He.
In such a terrifying group, Su Feng's promotion is an absolute delusion.
"Hey, I'm afraid this is the end of our country's athletes this time." On the sidelines, an old reporter in his forties and his apprentice were taking photos of the athletes on the field. At this time, they also found out through media channels
Regarding Su Feng's group and opponents, veteran reporter Liu Sheng couldn't help but shake his head.
"No way, Master. I look at the results of the preliminaries. Even Green is not much faster than Su Feng. The remaining two are about the same level as Su Feng. There is still a chance."
These two people were recorded by the domestic "Sports Weekly". Many Olympic games were held at the same time.
Their original plan was to take pictures of Su Feng's first shot in the morning and then report the results.
Unexpectedly, Su Feng gave them a surprise and entered the second round with a score that broke the domestic record, so they came again.
It wasn't just them. Liu Sheng looked around and saw that several professional and authoritative domestic sports magazines had sent people over.
It is rare for the Chinese to have a sprinting genius, which would cause such a big reaction.
"What if I can win a medal?" Thinking of this, Liu Sheng quickly shook his head, he didn't dare to think about it, he didn't dare to think about it, it was impossible.
Then Liu Sheng turned his head and began to educate his apprentice, "I'll tell you, that's because people are very strong and save their energy to run in the preliminaries, but that's because people who are good at art are bold. I want you to do more homework, don't think you are Beijing.
"Graduate, if it weren't for your master's honor and my poor English this time, it wouldn't be your turn to come here." This young man is quite good, but he is a bit proud. Many things have to be learned again when entering this industry.
Start learning.
…
"on your marks."
"set."
The first group of games started, and after the gunshot, each player shot out like a dragon and jumped out like a cheetah.
"Sure enough, they have begun to show their true strength."
On the sidelines, He Jun and several sprint coaches smiled bitterly and shook their heads.
In the preliminaries, there were still people who stopped running in order to save energy. Now, except for top athletes like Green and Powell, who are at the championship level, everyone else is basically using their full strength.
Indeed, this is also the case with the results this time.
"This breaks 10!" Head coach Zhang Yuanhua, who led 400, said with emotion.
Chinese people, and even non-blacks, still regard 10 seconds as a barrier, but in this group, it was only the second shot, and someone had already broken 10 seconds.
That's Kuranti Martina, Dutch and black, with a score of 9.99.
Second place was Michael Flatt of Jamaica with a score of 10.09.
The third place is Naoki Tsukahara of Japan with a score of 10.23.
The competition continued for three more groups, and finally reached the fifth group where Su Feng was.
Although the coaches and Chinese team staff on the sidelines said it was impossible, they still had some expectations in their hearts.
In 2004, China had not yet completed its rise as a great power.
Unlike China, which later became the world's second largest economy and was known as an infrastructure madman, the Chinese people at this time were not so confident, so every international honor they could win was a must-win.
"If we can really come up with someone who can run to the third shot..."
At this time, in the fifth group of the 100-meter semi-finals, Su Feng and other athletes stood in front of the starting line.
At the starting point of the fifth lane, Su Feng checked the starting block and took off his coat after trying it and seeing that there was no problem.
Other athletes also took off their coats at about this time.
Although the temperature in Athens is relatively high now, it is still cooler at night.
Moreover, they have to go through inspection and other procedures after warming up. In order to avoid body and muscle problems caused by loss of body temperature, these protective measures are necessary.
Although athletes are physically strong and will not fall ill so easily, even a tiny bit of muscle stiffness can cause huge problems during intense competition.
"on your marks."
As the command sounded, Su Feng jumped twice on the spot to let the muscles in his body regain their vitality.
"Relax, you are a systematic person. These people will be defeated by you sooner or later. According to the system, at the limit of human beings, only the future Bolt is the one who can truly compete with you."
While Su Feng adjusted his mental state, he looked towards the finish line in the distance. His eyes gradually came into focus and there was nothing else in his mind.
Like him, all athletes are doing their final mental construction at this time.
One hundred meters only lasts for ten seconds. Even a wrong start can make a huge difference in the result. Therefore, the psychological pressure on every athlete is huge.
Therefore, everyone will have their own adjustment method.
In this group, some kissed the runway, some crossed themselves on their chests, and some were looking up at the sky silently with their hands on their chests, muttering something unknown in their mouths.
With his hands pressed on the rough plastic track and his feet on the starting block behind him, Su Feng had complete control over his entire body. As soon as the starting gun sounded, the body would jump out quickly.
.
"set."
The preparation command sounded, and Su Feng's body pressed down again. This was the final adjustment.
"Snapped!"
Game start!
Thanks to Powell's violent starting pattern and super-fast reaction, Su Feng actually grabbed the first place at the start!
At this time, the starting timer on the sidelines shows everyone's starting reaction time.
Su Feng's starting time was 0.121 seconds, ranking first.
Followed by Powell, ranked second with 0.131 seconds.
But it was a rematch after all, and almost everyone’s starting reaction speed was within 0.160 seconds.
But Su Feng's lead only lasted ten meters. After ten meters, Powell caught up first.
At twenty meters, Green not only surpassed Su Feng, but was already on par with Powell.
Su Feng ranked third, followed closely by Atkins, a player from the Bahamas.
Thirty meters, forty meters.
Once thirty meters passed, the strongest athletes in the group began to distance themselves from the other athletes.
Green, Powell, Su Feng, Atkins.
Powell was only one position behind Green, in the first sequence.
Su Feng and Atkins were about one meter behind them, and were in the second sequence.
The remaining four people are in the third sequence, about one meter behind the two in front, and the difference between them is only half a body or one body position.
Fifty meters, sixty meters...
At this time, each athlete has begun to enter the highest stage of speed.
Yes, for 100-meter athletes, the fastest speed is not at the beginning, nor when they finally cross the line, but at the middle sixty, seventy, or eighty meters. After that, the speed will decrease.
Even Bolt, who later competed in the 100-meter race, would lose speed after 60 meters. However, his abnormal speed-maintaining ability made his speed decay slower than others. Therefore, people often have a feeling when watching him compete.
I had the illusion that he was running faster and faster.
So at this stage, the competition is absolute speed.
At this stage, Su Feng did not let the people behind him catch up with him, nor was he pulled too far away by Powell and Green, and was tightly entangled with Atkins.
"This!" He Jun looked in disbelief at Su Feng, whose speed had not slowed down significantly.
In fact, Chinese athletes, even Asians, can compete with world-class black athletes in the starting to 60-meter stage.
Some people in later generations can tell by watching Su Fei's competitions that he can often maintain an advantage for 50 or 60 meters in front, but once he passes about 60 meters, his speed will drop and he will be caught up by other athletes.
Then distance yourself.
This is indeed related to race.
Su Feng naturally had this problem in the past. Although his speed retention was considered good in China and even in Asia, where is he now and what kind of opponent is he?
"But now facing these top players in the world, he can still avoid being pulled down. When did he have the ability to maintain such speed?"
At this time, Su Feng didn't have any distracting thoughts. The only focus in his eyes was the finish line in front of him.
Seventy meters, eighty meters, ninety meters.
Green and Powell are way ahead.
At this time, Su Feng relied on his strong physical ability to gradually get rid of Atkins' entanglement and put half a body distance away from him.
Ninety-five meters, one hundred meters, crossing the line.
The timer on the sidelines displays the finishing time in real time.
First place, Green, United States, reaction time 0.181, score 10.02.
Second place, Alpha Powell, Jamaica, reaction time 0.131, score 10.07.
Third place, Su Feng, China, reaction time 0.121, score 10.09.
Fourth place, Atkins, Bahamas, reaction time 0.171, score 10.14.
Fifth place, Walter Dix, United States, reaction time 0.152, score 10.21.
Sixth place, Lima, Brazil, reaction time 0.192, score 10.35.
Seventh place, Zachary, Ghana, reaction time 0.131, score 10.36.
Eighth place, Yepishin, Russia, reaction time 0.151, score 10.42.
Su Feng ranked third, second only to world famous players Green and Powell. Su Feng advanced!
At this time, the body's potential utilization rate displayed by the system has risen to 90%!
