At the Shanghai Stadium training base, a red figure flashed across the track over and over again.
A clean start.
After starting to accelerate, every contact between the soles of the feet and the track is powerful and light, as if the owner of these feet can easily achieve a perfect and delicate balance between weight and lightness.
Even those who look at it from a distance can feel the beauty of the power and speed of a cheetah from his movements.
It's hard to imagine that such a situation would happen to a person.
This person is naturally Su Feng.
After losing to Bolt on May 11.
Su Feng declined the banquet invitation from Qatar and left Qatar by plane that night and came to Shanghai.
And on the second day, he started training that was beyond ordinary people's imagination and arduous.
no pain no gain.
This is where competitive sports will never fake anything.
Although Su Feng would not feel discouraged after losing to Bolt, his strong desire to win made his fighting spirit rise as never before.
But if you want to win back, it's useless to think about anything, the only thing you can do is "practice".
Ever since, on the playground of the training base, an almost tireless figure started running time and time again.
At this time, under the shade of a tree on the sidelines, Su Feng's coach He Jun and Liu Yuxiang's coach Sun Ping were looking at Su Feng and chatting.
Watching Su Feng finish another 100-meter run, Sun Ping touched the stubble on his chin, then nodded and sighed: "He is worthy of being the first athlete in the world.
This guy and Liu Yuxiang are both unwilling to admit defeat and not afraid of losing. The most important thing is that they can endure hardships that others cannot.
Ordinarily, Su Feng's current status would be enough for him to squander his life even if he didn't work so hard.
But you see, in this half-day of training, even for him, he must be enduring the feeling of hypoxia and muscle fatigue. He can endure it and continue to run as fast as he can.
I can only say that this kind of person should achieve such results."
"Yes. This kind of spontaneous hard work is the difference between ultimate success and failure. As long as a person can understand this throughout his life, he will basically become a mature person."
"Haha, I told you about Su Feng, but you started talking about philosophy to me.
But I say you have to keep an eye on it.
Although at this kid's current level, there is no template in the world of track and field that can train him, and we are just crossing the river by feeling the stones.
And this guy is considered an expert himself.
But you still have to keep an eye on it.
He and Liu Yuxiang are the treasures of the whole country now, so don’t get hurt."
After the two of them finished talking, Coach Sun left.
Liu Yuxiang is also training there.
Robles has been in a hot state recently, and Liu Yuxiang really may not be able to suppress him, so he is training hard, so that living treasure cannot be injured.
Not long after Coach Sun left, Su Feng also finished the last run of this group, walked to the tree next to him, picked up a water bottle and drank.
The training base not only has one field, but also one next to it.
There is a tree-lined path separating the two sites, but both sides can still see each other.
At this time, there are not many people training on both venues.
Because the Shanghai Diamond League is just two days away, these two venues are used by participating athletes like them.
There were not many athletes qualified to participate, so it seemed quite empty.
At this time, both Zhang Peimeng and Su Bingtian were practicing on the track on Su Feng's side.
It's just that the two of them didn't cherish the opportunity to play against Su Feng, saying they were afraid of being hit, so they went to practice on the other side of the field, where Su Feng was the only one.
On the opposite track, there was another person practicing the 100 meters. Su Feng took a closer look and saw that it was Xie Zhenye who he was familiar with before.
It's just that compared to after he became famous, Xie Zhenye is much greener now.
"Master, that's Xie Zhenye over there, is he going to compete too?" Su Feng asked as he walked to He Jun.
"Ah, if you're talking about him, it should be Xie Zhenye. He is also talented. Of course, don't compare yourself with yourself. But compared with Xiaotian and others, his talent is still about the same, and he is also a good prospect.
This guy's current time can reach around 10.10 seconds. Except for a few of you, I'm afraid not many people in our country can beat him.
However, he is still not qualified to participate in this competition.
But after all, it is our country's competition, and there is a wild card qualification, so several coaches from the General Administration discussed it and finally gave him the qualification, so he will also participate this time.
Competing with masters like you can promote his growth, and he may be able to perform in international competitions in the future."
Su Feng looked at Xie Zhenye, who was also running over and over across a small road, and nodded slightly.
The strongest lineup of the Chinese relay team in Su Feng's plan, Xie Zhenye is the last piece of the puzzle.
Now it seems that this puzzle piece is about to reveal his ferocious shape.
And it will be sharper than in the previous life.
In his previous life, Xie Zhen specialized in the 200 meters. With a time of 19.88 seconds, he became the first person in China to break the 20-second barrier in the men's 200 meters.
This result is as shocking as Su Bingtian breaking the 9.90 mark in the men's 100 meters.
In his previous life, Xie Zhenye did indeed run 9.91 seconds in the 100 meters, which was close to 9.90 seconds.
In this life, Xie Zhenye's early injuries were treated in advance.
And because the domestic track and field industry is highly valued, he was discovered earlier and entered the national team for scientific training earlier.
Su Feng believes that by then his achievements will definitely surpass those of his previous life.
Especially now that he still focuses on the 100 meters.
In this case, the Chinese relay team will have at least one athlete under 9.50 seconds, two under 9.90 seconds, and one under 10 seconds.
Such a result can definitely give it a run for its money with Jamaica.
…
May 18, Shanghai Stadium with 80,000 people.
All the seats were full and there were crowds of people everywhere.
Su Feng participated in an international competition in China for the first time after the Olympic Games. As a Chinese audience, how could we not come to support him?
In other words, it is no longer a compliment.
Su Feng's current terrifying popularity has basically attracted people from all over the country, and everyone is still willing to do so.
In 2013, China's economy has taken off. The unprecedented economic development has made the Chinese people full of confidence and pride.
With such an economy, it naturally requires corresponding sports or cultural status.
It's hard to say culturally for now, because the gap is relatively big after all.
But there is no such natural barrier in sports.
And Su Feng is one of the people who came into being in this era.
Catching up with this era, it will naturally attract far more attention than expected, not to mention that Su Feng's own achievements are indeed worthy of this attention.
Because not only Chinese people, but also foreigners now account for one-fifth of the people in the stands, almost 10,000 people.
Some people really traveled thousands of miles to come to China just to watch Su Feng play.
It can be said that Su Feng's performance, whether at home or abroad, has long gone beyond the scope of ordinary sports stars and has truly attracted global attention without blind spots.
This is enough to prove Su Feng's influence at this time.
By the way, Su Feng’s loss to Usain Bolt a few days ago has now been hyped to the point that almost everyone around the world knows about it.
Except that Chinese media are all positive and scientific analysis.
The media in other countries are all interested in the excitement and do not consider it a big deal.
Those who have some sense of integrity say that Su Feng is no longer in good shape, while those who have no sense of integrity just directly use conspiracy theories and say that Su Feng was injured after the Olympics.
Needless to say, the conspiracy theory behind it is quite popular.
After all, although Su Feng explained to the public that he was getting married, he indeed disappeared after the Olympics.
The rhythm of the media can't help but make people suspicious.
However, Su Feng didn't pay much attention to the two media outlets that told lies with open eyes.
"Not in shape? You are injured and try to run a 9-second 60!" This is simply a joke. People with some common sense would not dare to say this just based on the results.
Not to mention reporters as professionals after watching the game process.
Su Feng was talking to Zhang Peimeng and Xie Zhenye in the corridor at this time.
Su Feng just chatted with them casually, mainly to relieve Xie Zhenye's nervousness through chatting.
Regarding the psychology of international competitions, Zhang Peimeng and Su Bingtian were also brought up by him at the beginning. Now they have experienced a lot of international competitions and can calm down very much.
Now it's Xie Zhenye's turn, and Su Feng naturally can't favor one over the other.
