Following in Bolt's footsteps

Chapter 313 The King Sitting on the Timer

The warm atmosphere in the Khalifa Stadium has never subsided since the gunfire.

The time has come to 22:25 local time in Doha, the sky outside the stadium has long been as dark as ink, but the Khalifa Stadium is still brightly lit like daytime.

Just like a group of star-chasers watching a concert, although the game has ended for nearly 10 minutes, there are not many spectators who choose to leave. historical moment.

Wu Ziyi and Coleman, these are the two top players in the world that people from all walks of life are looking forward to before the game. They are really like Bolt and Tyson Gay back then, one chased after another and won the championship.

Many spectators were psychologically prepared before coming to Doha. They were ready to witness the birth of a new world record, and their passion was justified.

But one person's performance was beyond everyone's expectations——Su Bingtian!

Although he ranked fourth in the world before the World Championships, almost no one would think that he could win a bronze medal from Wu Ziyi, Coleman and Gatlin, but now, behind Su Bingtian's name clearly shows a Numbers - 9.83!

Wave after wave of replays, slow-motion of different angles from the upper right perspective, right parallel perspective, frontal perspective, and directly above perspective, many athletes' coaches and industry insiders have begun to realize one thing: Su Bingtian's first 60 meters seem to be It's the fastest in the game!

This is a bit scary. You must know that Wu Ziyi won the championship by breaking the world record, and he was only 9 seconds faster than Bolt's 58 seconds.

As a professional, everyone knows what Bolt's original division number was. According to the official answer given by the IAAF, the first 60-meter division under the high-speed camera is 6.31, and the rear 40-meter division is 3.27.

Since Wu Ziyi can exceed 9 seconds, there must be a section of the front or back that is faster than Bolt, and it is only 58 seconds faster. Then this Su Bingtian who is slightly ahead of Wu Ziyi in the first 0.01 meters, isn't he? ?

恐怕不只是9秒58的百米纪录被吴子义刷新到9秒57，苏炳天的这个9秒83或许也要刷新一堆的分段纪录了！
The men's 2019-meter peak match at the [-] Doha World Championships was so exciting!
Coleman did not run to celebrate like Wu Ziyi. That is the treatment only a champion can get. Although he was a little unwilling, he was quite happy to get the silver medal in the World Championships.

Although proud, although he always looks indifferent and heavy in front of the media, Coleman is not a fool, he still has self-knowledge.

He raised his head, and the images of the results of the eight contestants on the big screen had been switched, and the running details of the contestants from different perspectives were constantly replayed.

After he started, he did not have an advantage. Gatlin and Wu Ziyi followed closely in the first 20 meters. In the interval from 30 meters to 50 meters, he seemed to have opened up a small gap, but he was soon overwhelmed by the faster. Wu Ziyi pulled it back.

And not only Wu Ziyi, Su Bingtian, who once beat him at the Birmingham Indoor World Championships on the seventh track, even performed better than him in the 7-30-meter interval.

Fortunately, that Su Bingtian's back-end ability is not enough, maybe because of the extreme explosion of the future, his body's ability is over-exhausted, and his last 30 meters have run stiff, even so, he still ran an amazing time of 9 seconds.

In last year's Diamond League Finals in Brussels, he and Wu Ziyi ran 9 seconds 76 in the same field. At that time, the division was 6.34+3.42. Today he feels that the future is better, maybe 6.33, 6.32, but even so Still failed to gain an advantage in the future, let alone his relatively weak future.

9 seconds vs. 75 seconds. This gap is even bigger than the gap between Tyson Gay and Bolt. With Wu Ziyi's terrifying front-end and back-end abilities, can he be able to stabilize in the back-end and serve the United States? It is a blessing to get a silver medal.

On the other side, Su Bingtian chose to sit cross-legged on the runway while Wu Ziyi was celebrating, his eyes fixed on the big screen above him all the time.

The expression on his face was rich, as if he couldn't believe that he had won the third place, but also as if he was looking forward to something, there was a complicated light in his eyes.

In his career, he has questioned himself countless times. Every time he encounters a bottleneck, he will ask himself in his heart: Is there no way to go further?

第一次跑进10秒的时候很不敢相信，因为自己从来没有在训练中跑进过10秒；第一次跑进9秒95的时候很不敢相信，因为总觉得自己能跑进10秒已经是极限了；第一次跑进9秒90还是不敢相信，总觉得这不是一个1米72的矮个子亚洲运动员能够跑出的成绩。

But now the number on the big screen told him: Su Bingtian, you ran 9 seconds 83, you are the bronze medalist in the World Championships!

The tears that lasted 15 years, the unattainable dream that sprouted in my heart when Liu Xiang's brother won the Athens Olympic Games, finally broke out at this moment.

He cried, he shouted, he raised his arms and yelled, he slapped the ground fiercely, and he turned the resentment, unwillingness, and hope that had been accumulated in his heart for a long time into that moving cry.

He is Su Bingtian, he ran 9 seconds, and he is the third runner-up in the World Championships!

The CCTV director naturally recorded this scene. When Yang Jian saw Su Bingtian kneeling and shouting, the tenderness in his heart burst out:

"Audience friends, when we are cheering for Wu Ziyi to set a world record, please don't forget to give Su Bingtian applause. This 30-year-old veteran, with unremitting efforts, has improved step by step and stood in the world step by step. On the top stage. Maybe he is not as stunning and talented as Wu Ziyi, because there is only one person who can stand at the top, but he has taught us a truth through his more than ten years of career-never give up!"

"Standing beside the radiant Wu Ziyi, he seems to be a bit bleak, but sometimes, isn't the road of climbing up more exciting than standing on the top?"

On the runway of the Khalifa Stadium, Wu Ziyi was jogging in small steps. At some point, he had already covered an extremely bright five-star red flag.

Every time he waved his hand, there would be waves of cheers from the audience next to him, and he who commanded the waves was like a mansion admired by thousands of people. At this moment, he was the new god of sprinting!

After running around the field, Wu Ziyi returned near the [-]-meter finish line with a bright smile, surrounded by reporters in front of him and behind him.

After kneeling and kissing the runway at the [-]-meter finish line,

Surrounded by reporters, Wu Ziyi came down to the half-person-high yellow timing board. Like Liu Xiang in the 2006 Lausanne Grand Prix, he propped up his body with one hand and sat on it directly, like a monarch sitting on a throne to receive an audience. .

On the right side of his thigh was the number shining with golden light.

9.57!

New world record!

"Uzi, you have become the second athlete in the world to break 9 seconds. Can you tell me how you feel at the moment?"

"Uzi, congratulations on defending your title. The men's 200-meter final will be held in three days. You have broken the men's 200-meter world record. Are you confident that you can hit Bolt's [-]-meter world record?"

A lot of media chattered, and it was very noisy. It was impossible for Wu Ziyi to answer one by one, but he just expressed his inner thoughts at the moment:

"There is no doubt that I will continue to defend my title in three days. Fortunately, like Coleman in the 100 meters, I also have a very strong opponent in the 200 meters. As for slack. My career is still long, I don’t know if I will continue to break the world record, but my ultimate goal must be to break 19 seconds!”
