Following in Bolt's footsteps

Chapter 256 Su Bingtian VS Coleman

2018 has opened a new chapter for the world men's sprint. Last year, Bolt retired and Wu Ziyi won the World Championships double. The world men's [-] meters officially entered the "post-Bolt era".

摩纳哥的9秒75和伦-敦的9秒82是吴子义给对手们的答案，想要在“后博尔特时代”与他竞争，跑不到9秒80的水准怎么能行？

With the start of the new season, athletes have also begun to walk out of the training ground and go to various parts of the world to participate in indoor competitions.

Domestic athletes also made their own attacks. Su Bingtian went to Germany, Xie Zhenye, Liang Jinsen, and Xu Zhouzheng went to the United States, and Wu Zhiqiang went to Tehran
What about Wu Ziyi?Wu Ziyi is still in Guilin, Jingfeng Track and Field Club is still in its infancy, many things need to be decided by him, and he is not very interested in participating in indoor competitions.

Not to mention others, Su Bingtian won consecutive victories in Germany, Berlin Indoor Race, Karlsruhe - IAAF World Indoor Tour, Dusseldorf - IAAF World Indoor Tour, the preliminaries of the three events Su Bingtian and Su Bingtian in the final were all No.1, especially in the final in Dusseldorf on February 2, he even ran 6 seconds to refresh himself in the 6 World Indoor Athletics Championships in Portland The Asian record of 42 seconds created in China.

6秒42这个成绩足以让苏炳天与钱伯斯（英）在室内60米纪录中并列排在世界第4位，第3名是美国安德烈-凯森的6秒41，第2名是莫里斯-格林的6秒39，第1名则是克里斯蒂安-科尔曼在1月19日的克莱姆森室内邀请赛中跑出的6秒37。

不过这个第4名并没有保持太久，2月18日，阿尔伯克基（Albuquerque）室内赛中，罗尼-贝克在决赛中跑出6秒40的成绩成功跻身室内60米历史第3名，而科尔曼也在决赛中跑出了6秒34的新世界纪录。

Of course, both grades should be followed by an "A", because Albuquerque's altitude is 1620 meters.

The end of the indoor season is the World Indoor Athletics Championships held in Birmingham, England on March 3. The World Indoor Athletics Championships are also held every two years, and it happens to be staggered with the World Championships.

Before the World Indoor Athletics Championships, there is another major event in the world of sports that attracts the attention of athletes and sports fans all over the world - the Lawrence World Sports Awards.

The 2018 Laureus World Sports Awards will be presented on February 2. Although Wu Ziyi was nominated for the best male athlete, he did not go to Monaco to attend the awards ceremony, because he knew that going would be in vain.

Not only Wu Ziyi has won the men's 100-meter and 200-meter double championships in the World Championships, but Bolt and Tyson Gay have also won them, and Bolt is also the three-time World Championships double champion, but the three-time World Championships He also has only one Laureus World Sports Award.

Like Tyson Gay lost to Roger Federer in 2008, Wu Ziyi and Cristiano Ronaldo (soccer), Chris Froome (four Tour de France winners), Lewis Hamilton (four times a Formula One world champion) and Rafael Nadal (who won both the French Open and the US Open) lost to Roger Federer, who won his fifth Australian Open and eighth Wimbledon.

This is the fifth time that Roger Federer has been selected for the Laureus World Sports Awards, and while he won the Best Male Athlete Award, he also won the Best Comeback Award for his return to the game after a knee injury.

On the evening of March 3, Birmingham Arena, the men's 3m final of the World Indoor Championships.

Yang Jian: "The men's 60-meter trapeze battle is about to begin. Let us witness this historical moment together. Su Bingtian, Coleman, Xie Zhenye, and Baker are lined up with each other and present us on this world stage. It is a battle between China and the United States. Two Chinese athletes and two Chinese athletes represent the peak level of men's 60m indoor in the world."

In the arena, under the arrangement of the staff, Su Bingtian and Xie Zhenye lined up with other players and waited behind the movable door to enter the stage. After a while, the movable door opened and the first player walked out.

Yang Jian: "Let's take a look at the first player. This is Sean Safford Antwi from Ghana. He is on the 8th track."

"Second place, Jan Volko from Slovenia, No. 1."

"Third place, Emre Zafer Barnes from Turkey, No. 2."

"The fourth place, Hassan Taftan from Iran, No. 7."

"Fifth place, this is our country's player Xie Zhenye, Xie Zhenye is on the fifth track, the golden track."

"The sixth place, this is Ronnie Baker who ran 6 seconds last month. He is in the sixth lane."

"The seventh place, the Chinese speed that broke the Asian record in Dusseldorf, Germany - Su Bingtian! Su Bingtian is in the third track."

"The eighth place, Christian Coleman, a teenager from the bad country who broke the world record twice this year, is on the fourth track."

“室内男子60米的世界纪录是科尔曼在上个月跑出的6秒34，世锦赛纪录是由莫里斯-格林保持的6秒39，科尔曼的6秒34也是今年的世界最好成绩。镜头也给到了科尔曼和苏炳天，希望两位运动员能够在这个舞台上展现自己的最佳状态.”

The atmosphere on the field became more and more anxious, and the audience in the field stopped talking one after another, creating a quiet environment for the athletes to listen to the gun.

“On your marks~”

Familiar instructions sounded. This is the 11th time that Su Bingtian has heard this year, and it is also the last time in the indoor season.Today's opponent is exceptionally strong. I thought Powell was invincible in 16, but he never thought that he would meet Coleman again this year.

在科尔曼跑出6秒37和6秒34之后，霉国田径界的舆论瞬间发酵，不少学者都拿出数据来论证科尔曼是否有能力在百米中跑进9秒80，答案是——能。

Although he doesn't want to admit it, Su Bingtian is not sure whether he can run into 6 seconds. Although he ran a segment record of 40+16 in the Rio 6.37-meter semi-final in 3.55, there are still some indoor and outdoor gaps. very different.And the state of mind at that time was also different from now. At that time, I wanted to break into the Olympic finals, and I completely ran the semi-finals as the finals and tried my best. Now
"Papa!" Su Bingtian stretched out his left and right hands and patted his cheek vigorously, "Now is the final, when will you not fight at this time? Su Bingtian, Su Bingtian, you can't look down on yourself!"

Criticizing himself severely in his heart, Su Bingtian put his ten fingers firmly on the runway, quietly waiting for the next instruction.

"Set—"

"boom--!!"

Game start!
When Su Bingtian took his first step out of the curved arm state, he had only one feeling—very good!

After the gunshot, the applause, cheers, shouts, and whistles that erupted rapidly in the venue all stimulated Su Bingtian's nerves and made his blood rush.

Beside him is the creator of the new indoor 60-meter world record, and he is the new generation of American sprint leader who is most likely to defeat Wu Ziyi, recognized by the American track and field circle.

But so what? !

The curved arm broke out, starting at three points and one line, and the golden four steps forward!

The starting reaction was 0.119 seconds, and four steps were taken, allowing Su Bingtian to take the lead in this short distance!

This is the result of Su Bingtian's implementation of the training method developed by Randy—explosion!
Future?Dude, this little short leg is no longer ready to be considered. Anyway, no matter how much you practice, your speed resistance will be only 3.50 or 3.49 at most.

I heard that you, Coleman, have a strong future?What my buddy is fighting with you today is your future ability!

The world's top explosive power?Today I want to tell you that the yellow race is definitely not weak!
Ten meters, 20 meters, 30 meters, Su Bingtian leads the way, half a body gap!
"The race begins! Start accelerating, and Su Bingtian is at the front!"

"Su Bingtian keeps the lead for the time being, Coleman is following, Su Bingtian keeps it!"

"The final sprint—! Su Bingtian and Coleman?! 6 seconds, who is the champion?!"

6 seconds, this is a new indoor world championship record. Judging from the sprint screen just now, Su Bingtian and Coleman crossed the finish line at the same time. It is impossible to tell which of the two is faster with the naked eye.

Su Bingtian and Coleman both turned around and walked slowly on the runway after hitting the cushion, their eyes were all focused on the big screen behind the starting area.

Coleman propped his hands on his knees, and kept sticking out his tongue to lick his lips, "Come On, it must be me, it must be me! Forget about Uzi, it is impossible for me to lose to an old man of 89 years, right? My Jesus Christ, please don't make such jokes, please!"

The competition is over, and the final result is not dependent on the will of the contestants. The subtitles line by line on the big screen are refreshed:

60 METERS MEN FINAL
1 Bingtian SU —— CHN —— 6.37(0.362) CR
2 Christian COLEMAN - USA - 6.37 (0.363)

3 Ronnie BAKER - USA - 6.44
4 Zhenye XIE —— CHN —— 6.49 PB
In the stadium, the coaching team headed by Yuan Guoqiang erupted into enthusiastic cheers at the moment when the results were released. Yuan Guoqiang and Tao Jianrong, two domestic veteran coaches, let go of their restraint and embraced together excitedly .

"Old Yuan, congratulations! Bing Tian was able to win this gold medal, it is really a face for our China! You are a good apprentice!"

Yuan Guoqiang let go of Tao Jianrong, waved his hand and said, "Hey, I haven't been of much help in the past two years! Randy is the one who contributed a lot. Although we have been coaches for decades, we still have to keep learning. You can't rely on others for everything!"

"Yes, yes, hey, Xiao Li, quickly take out the national flag and prepare it for Bingtian and the others."

Yang Jian: "Su Bingtian is the first! Su Bingtian champion! 6 seconds 37, the thousandth place beat Coleman by 0.001 seconds, Su Bingtian broke the record of the Indoor World Championships and won a gold medal for the Chinese team! Congratulations Su Bingtian! Xie Zhenye's The performance is also very good, 6 seconds 49, once again refreshed his personal best time!"

Su Bingtian came to the sidelines to take a five-star red flag, and then accepted the shooting side by side with Coleman and Ronnie Baker at the request of the reporters, but this time the five-star red flag was in the center.

"Here we would like to congratulate China's track and field for achieving a historical breakthrough. At this time point known as the [post-Bolt era], four athletes from China and the United States presented us with a wonderful duel. This The duel has also opened a new chapter for the men's sprint, although the era of the [-]-meter five-hunters has passed, but new top athletes have grown up, and the future of the world's men's sprint will also be exciting!"

　It’s been a long wait, a new season has started, and the 2018 season will be very exciting. I will use "a little bit" to present this season in a different way from other players.
