The Su God of the Reopening of the Sports Arena

Chapter 1966 Now, I've Caught You

The Lunar New Year just passed.

The first wave of good news is coming.

2012 IAAF Male Athlete of the Year announced

Su Shen defeated all opponents.

Including but not limited to Blake, Bolt, Merritt, etc., who won the second IAAF Male Athlete of the Year award in his life.

The reason is even more sufficient than the last time.

  The last reason given by the IAAF was:

Asia's historic speed breakthrough! The first World Championship gold medal in the history of the Asian 100m! The first OW gold medal in the history of the Asian century sprint!

Well this time, it's more violent and direct.

  World-class breakthrough in Asian speed!

The first Olympic 100m gold medal in the history of the Asian 100m!

The first sprint Olympic record in Asia’s 100-year history!

Su Shen’s achievements are strong enough, and coupled with the fact that he beat Bolt in the Olympics, his impression rate has been maxed out, making it difficult for him not to win this award.

When Su Shen went on stage to receive the award, Liu Xiang applauded the most enthusiastically.

Bolt was the most embarrassed down there.

Because at this time, for some reason the camera was always on Bolt's side.

Bolt thought he would stay for a few seconds and then leave.

How would I know?

He's just staying here forever.

I can't even put on a fake smile for Bolt.

Directly black face.

The cameraman and director at the scene seemed to want to record this scene immediately, and the reporters also understood what they meant.

I thought what a nice person he was.

This time, there is no shortage of materials.

At the IAAF Male Athlete of the Year awards ceremony, Bolt faced the crowd with a gloomy face.

Or when Suarez comes on stage, Bolt will have a gloomy face the whole time.

  Or the secret of Bolt's black face, was it that Su Shen took away what belonged to him?

You can say whatever you want.

These days, the era of mobile Internet has arrived.

The more explosive the title.

The more popular it is.

Everyone hates clickbait titles.

But in fact, the body is very honest.

I just can’t help but click on the one with a more attractive title.

If they don't make some news, their visit will be in vain.

Do you think anyone wants to watch a simple athlete award ceremony now?

Nonsense.

It's not like I'm idle.

Any award from the Nobel Prize to the Oscars and Athlete of the Year...

In fact, we only look at the results.

As for the awarding process.

It’s okay to watch short videos afterwards, but who would watch the whole thing now?

The NBA is now evenly divided among those who care about post-match statistics, okay?

The increasingly fast pace also makes it easier for journalists to write more and more nonsense, since no one has that much time to verify things anyway.

IAAF President Diack announced: "The IAAF Athlete of the Year award was established in 1988 and has become the most authoritative award in the track and field world since its inception. The first best male athlete was American sprint superstar Carl Lewis, and the best female athlete was American butterfly Joyner. In the IAAF annual selection, the male athlete with the most awards was Morocco's El Guerrouj. This middle- and long-distance running star has won three Olympic gold medals, four World Championships, and three World Indoor Championships. He won the annual award three times in a row in 2001, 2002 and 2003. On the one hand, this was because of his amazing dominance, and on the other hand, the world track and field world fell into silence during that period, especially the most watched sprint event lacked an absolute hegemon."

"It is a pity that a champion of long-distance running has emerged, but no absolute champion has emerged in the short-distance running event, the golden crown of track and field. Fortunately, this problem began to change in 2008."

"First, Bolt emerged in 2008, and won the men's 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay titles in the Beijing Olympics by breaking world records. Then, he won three gold medals again at the 2009 Berlin World Championships, and raised the 9m record to a terrifying 55 seconds, and finally to 9 seconds. His presence has brought sprinting back to where it should be."

"The world's attention has been refocused on the 100 meters. So during this period, Bolt has also won the title of the IAAF's Best Male Athlete twice in a row. He deserves it."

"In 2010, there were not many outstanding performances because it was not a big competition year. But just one year later, a new leader in sprinting emerged: Red Lightning."

"Su from the mysterious ancient country of the East."

"In 2011, he won the first 2012m gold medal for Asians at the World Championships and was also named the IAAF's Best Male Athlete of the Year. In 1, he won the first m gold medal for Asians at the Olympics, completing the century-long Olympic history of Asians. So this year, he once again won the IAAF's Best Male Athlete, which is well deserved."

"He has now won the IAAF Best Male Athlete award the same number of times as Bolt. I wonder who will win the Moscow World Championships this year, and who will win the IAAF Best Male Athlete award? If anyone can win, then they will tie with Morocco's El Guerrouj, who has won the most awards in history."

"Becoming one of the people who has won the most Best Male Athlete awards in history."

"Carl Lewis, an American who is known as the greatest track and field athlete of the 20th century, won the IAAF Best Athletics Award twice in 1988 and 1991. Now Bolt has also won twice, and Su has also won twice."

Diack deliberately whetted everyone's appetite when he said this, looking at everyone and said: "Because Lewis has retired for many years, it is impossible for him to win this award again. The only one who can do it is between Bolt and Su."

"Now it depends on whether it's Su or Bo. If one of them can win it once more, they will tie with El Guerrouj and become the first in history. He himself can also become the person who has won the IAAF Best Male Athlete Award the most times in sprint events."

“We surpassed our opponents and Lewis.”

"Su, what do you want to say now?"

Diak handed the microphone to Su Shen next to him.

"Actually, I don't have much to say. All I want to say is, since I've already won it twice, why can't I..."

"One more time."

Hearing this, Bolt's face darkened.

Isn't it obvious that this statement is trying to snatch food from one's own mouth?

He has become accustomed to winning all the awards, as no one dares to challenge him head-on in the field of sprinting.

  But what about now?

This person has appeared.

He looked at Su Shen's face, as if trying hard to see something, but unfortunately, he saw nothing.

Su Shen has now reached a similar height as him.

He is no longer the same person as before.

Bolt in front of Su Shen.

I am also not the same person I used to be.

Watching the thunderous cheers erupt from the audience.

The camera also cut directly to Bolt and Su Shen.

Two sprinters who were ahead of their time.

Right on the big electronic screen, one on the left and one on the right.

Staring at each other from a distance.

Of course, if you think that the matter ends here, you are totally wrong, because just one month later, the 2013 Laureus International Sports Awards will also be presented.

On the evening of the 11th local time in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the final winners of the 2013 Laureus World Sports Awards were announced.

Bolt, Messi, Suarez, Liu Xiang, Merritt and others began to appear on the screen.

The Lawrence Awards also have their audience.

Because this award covers the entire sports, it is generally considered to be more valuable than the IAAF's Best Male Athlete Award, because you are competing for the entire sports industry.

For example, in the original timeline, although Ye Shiwen and the Chinese table tennis team were nominated as the best breakthrough and best team candidates for this year's Laureus Awards, they both missed the awards in the end. Compared with Murray's first Grand Slam title after 76 years and ending the 104-year Olympic tennis gold medal drought, Ye Shiwen's Olympic medley double championship is indeed not the biggest breakthrough. Compared with a highly professional sport like golf, the Chinese table tennis team's performance of sweeping all four gold medals at the London Olympics is really too ordinary. It was expected that Ye Shiwen and the Chinese table tennis team failed to win. The lack of professionalism and the lack of outstanding performance in basic major events are important obstacles to Chinese sports winning the Laureus selection. Even if you have already made a name for yourself in the Olympics, you still cannot get the recognition of the World Sports Awards.

In other words, the Laureus Awards are said to cover the entire sports field, but in fact, it is not difficult to see from the nomination list of this year's Laureus Awards that the nominated events can basically be divided into three categories.

The first category is the basic major events, among which track and field and swimming are more valued. Except for the annual best team award, track and field athletes are nominated for all other awards, and swimming is second.

The second category is individual sports with a high degree of professionalism, mainly tennis, golf and F1.

The third category is football and basketball, the two most influential sports in the world.

In fact, our country's athletes who have won or been nominated have also appeared in these events, such as Yao Ming, Liu Xiang, Su Shen, Li Na, Ye Shiwen and Feng Shanshan who was included in the peripheral list this year.

From the perspective of the influence of the project, track and field and swimming, among the basic major events, can be called the mother of sports and are relatively easy to carry out. Moreover, water sports, which are relatively unpopular in China, are as popular as track and field and swimming in the world. These three basic major events have a total of 121 gold medals in the Olympics, which shows their importance. The level of a country's basic major events can reflect the degree of sports development in that country.

Otherwise, the 100-meter race would not have been promoted to such a high status by Europeans and Americans in the past few decades.

Except for track and field events that are linked to race.

It is easy to understand why sports with a high degree of professionalism are more popular. Whether it is golf, tennis, football or basketball, they all have a broad market and the ability to attract money, and the star effect is stronger. Moreover, professional sports can promote the development of amateur sports. Although professional sports were rejected by the amateur principle of the Olympic movement in the early days, they have gradually been accepted by the Olympic Games in the past two decades, which is enough to prove the importance of professional sports.

In recent years, the professionalization of sports in my country has not been high and the influence is not enough. The Laureus Awards prefer professional sports, which in itself proves the popularity and vitality of these projects. Professional sports survive on profits, and only the audience's love and participation can make the project survive.

Traditionally advantageous sports have little influence in the world, which makes it difficult for Chinese sports to get due recognition in international sports awards such as the Laureus Awards. Most of the judges of the Laureus Awards are Europeans and Americans, so they naturally prefer basic sports and professional sports. China's strengths in table tennis, badminton, gymnastics and diving have very limited influence in the world. The strongest sports, table tennis and badminton, are even in danger of being kicked out of the Olympics. It is extremely difficult for Chinese people to win the Laureus Awards.

Therefore, you can see that most of the people on the list are either in track and field events or in more professional events such as basketball or tennis.

Su Shen and Liu Xiang both made the list.

It also happens to represent track and field, the mother of all sports.

This is a sports area that Europeans and Americans cannot deny.

Besides, they have been promoting it for so many years.

It is deeply rooted, including in themselves.

That's why they are so reluctant to see us rise in track and field.

for them.

No matter how many gold medals we win in badminton or table tennis, we cannot win one in track and field events.

Especially the ethnocentrism front project they have been promoting for so many years.

Otherwise, Liu Xiang’s influence would not be so great.

Otherwise, the effect of Su Shen's sudden appearance would not have scared them so much.

The candidates are present.

For Bolt, the Laureus Man of the Year award is not unfamiliar. He has won the award twice before, in 2009 and 2010. There is no doubt that this is the best compliment for his outstanding performance in the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the 2009 Berlin World Championships. Winning gold medals and breaking records have become the main theme of the Jamaican in the past two years. With such a strong performance, Bolt defeated F2009 drivers Hamilton, Nadal, Ronaldo and others to be elected for the first time in 1, and successfully defended his title in 2010 by defeating Federer, Messi, Contador and others.

But in the following two years, it was taken away by Su Shen.

You said it was a coincidence or not.

If Su Shen takes it away again this time.

That would also tie him with Bolt in the Laureus Best Male Athlete. So far, in the history of Laureus, there are only four players who have won the Laureus Best Male Athlete multiple times, in addition to Bolt, they are Federer, Schumacher and Woods, but the King of Drivers, Tiger and Lightning have only won the award twice.

Only tennis king Federer has won it four times.

The Swiss won the Best Male Athlete award for four consecutive years from 2005-08, becoming the first person in history.

Therefore, if Su Shen wins it again, he will also join the club that can win the Laureus Male Athlete of the Year award multiple times.

Let's expand this club from 4 people to 5 people.

This makes Bolt sitting here quite embarrassed.

Liu Xiang even took the initiative to promote Su Shen during an interview. He said bluntly: "It doesn't matter if I can win or not, but Su Shen must win the Laureus Best Male Athlete this time."

The reasons he gave were very sufficient.

"I really can't imagine that if I can't win the Laureus Male Athlete of the Year award this time, representing the entire yellow race, the entire Asian race, and a country of 14 billion people, and win the first Olympic -meter gold medal in a hundred years and set a new Olympic -meter record, with such an achievement..."

"Then I think it's a shame for Lawrence."

What Liu Xiang said was well-founded.

Because it is. Can you say it isn't?

This kind of breakthrough gold medal in the history of this race basically cannot be suppressed by any words.

Liu Xiang put a tight ring on these European and American media who wanted to be politically correct, and said bluntly:

"Su Shen was able to achieve a historic breakthrough for the entire Asian 100m. I think he is the Jesse Owens of us yellow people. If the black Jesse Owens can dominate the world in terms of awards, then Su Shen should be able to do the same."

"Of course, if there is a white person like this, I think he is also qualified."

But isn't this bullshit?

The era of white people sprinting is over.

Ever since the blacks started getting involved, there has been no market for him.

In this day and age it’s hard to open the game in 10 seconds, and you still want to win gold or even set an Olympic record?

Liu Xiang's words were purely to shut these people up.

You know what, the effect is really good.

In the age of online media.

Once the words of celebrities ferment,

It will cause a lot of public opinion bias.

And everyone is sitting here.

These media gathered here.

Actually, it’s just to see who this year’s male athlete of the year is?

There is no way. In the field of sports, men have greater influence and women's overall influence is weaker. This is determined by the market and the audience.

It is not affected by your subjective will.

  Therefore, everyone is more concerned about who is the male athlete of the year?

The first to be announced was the Sports Academy Special Achievement Award - Phelps.

The Lifetime Achievement Award goes to Sebastian Coe.

Action Sportsman of the Year - Baumgartner.

Para-Sportsman of the Year – Daniel Dias.

Comeback of the Year Award - Felix Sanchez.

Breakthrough Player of the Year Award: Andy Murray.

Female Athlete of the Year - Ennis.

Then there's the male athlete of the year.

A group of people's names are circulating on it.

The picture also began to fluctuate.

Although there are quite a few people.

But in fact, there are also many runners-up.

Even Messi doesn't have much chance of winning.

"Is it Merritt who set a new record in short-cross history?"

"Is it Liu Xiang who danced the last dance of the Phoenix Nirvana?"

"Or is it Su Shen, who represents the entire yellow race and won the century-old dream of the Olympic gold medal in sprinting?"

Yang Jian was also quite nervous when broadcasting this program. In fact, he could accept it whether it was for Su Shen or Liu Xiang.

But I just hope that this award will fall into the hands of one of our own.

three.

two.

One.

When the screen suddenly stopped scrolling.

  The beautiful hostess at the scene, wearing a red evening gown, turned her head and immediately announced loudly:

“2013 Laureus Male Athlete of the Year.”

"belong--"

"Red lightning from a mysterious ancient country!"

"Su!!!"

The spotlight suddenly shone on where Su Shen was sitting.

Liu Xiang immediately stood up and hugged him to express his congratulations.

Messi and others also came over to hug.

Only Bo someone.

See here.

The eyes are black.

My mouth almost pouted.

In fact, when he was interviewed, he seemed to think that anyone could win, and he also hoped that a sprinter would win the Laureus Best Male Athlete award this time.

But you also know.

What you say is often different from what you think.

What Bolt was thinking was...

Don't let Sue take it.

He performed so "terribly" in London last year.

He lost all the gold medals he should have won.

He already knew that he was here to run with others.

But he doesn't want this award to go to Su Shen.

otherwise.

Su has won the Laureus Best Male Athlete award the same number of times as the IAAF Best Male Athlete of the Year award.

will catch up with him.

Bolt hates this kind of thing the most.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have remembered the two people who defeated him in the past for so long.

Great athlete.

Sometimes people are not very thoughtful.

There was not even a moment when he loved Messi and football so much.

When being interviewed, he also expressed his preference. He also thought that Messi deserved the title of Lawrence.

But it's a pity.

In the end, this award was won despite numerous difficulties.

Gave it to Su Shen.

Just as Liu Xiang said.

Last year's Su Shen.

There is no black at all.

It's too hard.

When Su Shen walked onto the stage.

Apart from those polite encouragements and acceptance speeches.

At the end, it was facing the direction of the guest seats below.

I said something I really wanted to say -

"Usain."

"Now."

"I've caught up with you."

Bolt's face looked extremely painful, yet he had to keep smiling.

Sometimes being a celebrity isn't easy.

Insincere words and expressions.

Do what you say.

Everyone just thought Su Shen was joking.

Only Bolt knows.

This family's eyes are serious.

Just like he first saw it at the 06 World Youth Championship in Beijing.

It was just that time.

He thinks Su Shen is still a little kid.

Asians are simply not suited to sprinting.

There is no threat to myself.

It's just an unrealistic dream.

  But what about now?

His dream has come true.

Many honors.

Su Shen has already walked to Bolt's side.

The gap has already been.

Getting smaller and smaller.

And now that the tie has been achieved.

So what’s next?

The next step is only...

Try to go beyond.

Bolt.

It's rare to see it from Su Shen's eyes.

I read out some personal understanding.

He clenched his fists slightly and looked back.

Although there was still a forced smile on his lips.

But there was already a look of confrontation in their eyes.

As if to say——

dream.

Don't think too much.
