Chapter 80 Moscow World Indoor Athletics Championships (2)
Although Su Feng does not stand out from the crowd in this competition like he did in the Asian Championships, he is definitely someone that others should look up to!
It can be said that if you don't defeat Su Feng, there will be no possibility of winning the championship!
Now these five people are assigned to Su Feng's group, which means that this group directly loses one promotion spot!
The pressure brought by the five people competing for a spot and the pressure brought by Su Feng himself made them no longer think about anything else, and they were all adjusting their mental state.
"On your marks!" After the athletes stood in position, after the starting point referee's instructions, the sound of everyone's position on the field sounded, and each athlete abandoned distracting thoughts and concentrated on the competition in front of them.
"set!"
After the on-site referee finally confirmed that the athletes were ready and there were no violations, the final sound of the game sounded, and the voices of the audience suddenly fell silent. In the huge stadium, everyone could even hear their own breathing.
Everyone knows that there is a fierce 60-meter race ahead, and I am afraid that I will miss most of the race accidentally.
"Snapped!"
"Game start!"
The moment the gunshot sounded, Su Feng ran forward with maximum strength. The six athletes shot out like dragons and quickly started to accelerate!
There are differences between 60 meters and 100 meters. The distance of 60 meters is shorter, there is no long way to run, and the requirements for starting reaction and starting speed are higher.
After long-term training and international competitions, Su Feng's starting reflexes are already among the best in the world.
As for Su Feng's start, the explosive start mode is the most powerful start mode. The starting speed is the biggest advantage. With Su Feng's physical fitness of 9.752 seconds at this time, he brought a lot of trouble to the surrounding athletes during the starting stage.
heavy pressure.
Even though Su Feng did not lower his stride length and increase his cadence like a conventional 100-meter athlete would do when running 60 meters. After all, 60 meters is not his focus now, no one could keep up with his starting speed.
As for acceleration ability, let alone it. With Su Feng's combined speed, no one can suppress him in this arena!
Soon, the competition ended, and Su Feng entered the semifinals with a time of 6.50 seconds.
Because it was an indoor competition, the temperature at the venue was kept very good, so Su Feng did not leave immediately after putting on his clothes. He wanted to watch Liu Yuxiang's 60-meter hurdles competition.
After Liu Yuxiang became famous in his previous life, he mostly watched the 110-meter hurdles and rarely watched the 60-meter hurdles. Moreover, Liu Yuxiang's main focus was also on the 110-meter hurdles, so now that he has the opportunity to watch it live, he naturally wants to stay.
The preliminaries group that Su Feng is in is the second group, and there are five groups behind it. After that, there is the 60-meter hurdles competition.
Originally, Su Feng thought it would be a relatively calm and confident race, but something unexpected happened in the fourth group. Tyson Gay actually ran a time of 6.45 seconds in the preliminaries!
This result is absolutely no problem in winning a gold medal or a medal at the World Indoor Championships, and most importantly, this result is a level higher than Su Feng. In 60 meters, 0.05 seconds is definitely not too much.
Su Feng squinted his eyes and looked at Tyson Gay, "I still underestimated him." Su Feng said secretly, after all, Tyson Gay's future results have not been revealed yet, so although Su Feng knew that he was strong, he still felt uncomfortable in his heart.
Still somewhat relaxed.
He just didn't expect that Tyson Gay would give him a blow in the head. Just look at the reaction of the audience.
Most of the people who came to the scene were track and field enthusiasts and were familiar with the results and records of various competitions. Even those who were not track and field enthusiasts all exclaimed in amazement when they saw this result, which was even faster than Su Feng's.
In this arena without Powell and Gatlin, there are still people who can defeat Su Feng! This really surprised everyone.
The American media on the sidelines couldn't stop taking pictures of Tyson Gay, and they must have already prepared a title.
Su Feng originally thought that this visit to Moscow was just a formality, and he could explain it if he was a little more serious. Now Tyson Gay's performance has aroused Su Feng's competitive spirit as an athlete!
You know, Su Feng's time of 6.50 seconds has already broken the Asian record. In this arena, he didn't even get first place in the preliminaries?
"Haha", Su Feng opened his mouth slightly and smiled silently. After watching Liu Yuxiang's 60-meter hurdles, he returned to the lounge without looking back, and then returned to the hotel with He Jun and others.
…
On the evening of March 11, at 8:10, the men’s 100-meter semifinals of the Moscow Indoor Championships were held as scheduled.
Su Feng was assigned to the first group this time, while Tyson Gay was assigned to the second group.
The audience at the venue may have a lot of opinions on this grouping. After seeing Su Feng, there was a burst of excited cheers, and then the sound became chaotic. It seemed that they were competing together without seeing Tyson Gay and Su Feng here.
Resentment arose.
I'm afraid the organizing committee separated Su Feng and Tyson Gay just for this purpose, leaving the suspense until the end.
After several groups competed in the preliminaries, the only one who could surpass Su Feng's score was Tyson Gay.
But the two have never really met, and no one knows who is stronger and who is weaker.
Su Feng used the Moscow network to directly see the news in the United States yesterday. Media such as Yahoo News, which is still the leading network, published photos of Su Feng and Tyson Gay on the front page.
The photos of the two people are side by side without any processing. Tyson Gay is on the left and Su Feng is on the right. Tyson Gay is looking up to the sky and roaring, while Su Feng is a little bit
The gesture of stroking his knees with tired hands was what Su Feng did after running 100 meters at the New York Station.
Their respective results were also written above the photos of the two. Tyson Gay's time was 6.45 seconds, and Su Feng's time was 6.50 seconds. This gave people the illusion that the two people ran this time in the same game.
At the scene, as the six athletes stepped onto the starting line, the atmosphere of the competition became increasingly intense.
In the 60-meter race, even if someone is as strong as Su Feng, if they make a mistake and there is no chance to make amends, the feeling of worrying about gains and losses will naturally make the audience nervous.
After all, everyone still wants to watch more of Su Feng's games, not to mention that this time there is a Tyson Gay who may outperform Su Feng!
Standing on the track, Su Feng's expression became obviously serious this time. Although he did not lose to the opponent in a direct competition, as an athlete, his competitive spirit still made him feel unhappy.
Coupled with the American media's exaggeration, Su Feng felt that it was time to teach them a lesson.
"Then come on!" Su Feng's eyes were sharp, and then he jumped on the spot a few times, stimulating his body with all his strength.
"Oh, Su Feng is going crazy this time!" Liu Yuxiang didn't have a competition today. Likewise, he hadn't seen Su Feng run 60 meters a few times, and there was someone who could challenge Su Feng yesterday, so he decided
Come take a look today.
This was an incredible sight. He caught Su Feng's eyes right now.
Athletes who are both influenced by Chinese culture can understand each other relatively easily.
Just as Su Feng could understand the aura in his eyes, he also saw the fierce murderous aura in Su Feng's eyes.
Even if it wasn't the finals this time, Su Feng would probably go all out. But he knew that Su Feng had just completed several months of altitude training, so it was hard to say what results he could achieve in this competition.
What is the world record for 60 meters?
Liu Yuxiang was an athlete in the 110-meter hurdles and I really couldn’t remember it for a moment.
