Run Out of My Life

    "Usain, the player you want to challenge has improved again, and he has won a gold medal."

    Glen Mills looked at the TV camera, Su Zu finally crossed the finish line and was running around the field to signal to the audience on the viewing platform. He turned his head slightly and said to the young black man beside him.

    "Yes, coach. He ran faster and beat Justin Gatlin."

    The young black man nodded, his scoliosis gradually improved, the muscles on his body became stronger, and the whole person looked taller and stronger than before.

    He stared blankly at the bright red on the TV, but his eyes were a bit hot. Since the New York Grand Prix, he has made this person a target.

    In that Grand Prix, the opponent won the championship by 0.4 seconds over him. This is not the first time he has encountered such a strong opponent, but it is definitely the first time in the same age group was surpassed by such a huge advantage.

    Even though he was injured, his personal best in the 200-meter run was still a long way from the opponent.

    How long has it been since this happened?

    The last time I had such an opponent in the same age group was when he was in elementary school. The first time he lost, he was thinking about cricket all day long. Later, Mr. Newcent, the pastor at the school, used lunch and snacks as a training condition. He practiced for a while and then beat the sprint field. His first opponent, Ricardo.

    After that, he stepped on the track, step by step from amateur to professional.

    Since the World Youth Championship in 2002, he has never encountered such a thing again. When he was fourteen or five years old, he had already started to compete with people two or three years older than himself. The players compete on the field, and he always wins in the end.

    But the New York Grand Prix lost, 200 meters, his main event, but lost to a Chinese who was also a few months younger than him.

    "Usain, this time you asked me to give up the World Championships and stay in Kingston to train. I agreed."

    Glen Mills had a calm expression on his face, but there was a bit of sigh in his tone, "But since you don't admit defeat, if you want to strive to surpass others, you need to work hard. Look at how you wake up in the morning. Time, when you get up, the morning light in Kingston has spread all over the Blue Mountains."

    The young black man lowered his head slightly, feeling ashamed and annoyed, mixed with the rebelliousness and impatience of this age.

    This complex emotion comes from his desire to train hard to surpass his opponents, but he can't restrain his inertia. Just like those people who shouted to go to bed early every day, but one by one they cultivated immortals and were about to become Buddhas and ancestors.

    Glen Mills never scolds him, but every time he speaks to him, it always pierces his heart directly.

    He heard a lot of people say that sprinters are all virtuous, they are a group of guys who are addicted to pickup, drag racing and games. He didn't know what happened to other people, but there was no doubt that he was this kind of thing. Going to nightclubs, staying in bed, using his injury recovery to prevaricate training, almost as long as he has the opportunity, he will not let go of playing small tricks to avoid training.

      .

    “Do you know the IMG Academy in the United States? Coach Seagrave, the head coach of the track and field there, guided Su Zu during winter training. He once told me that this young man from China has He is extremely harsh, so he thinks of a robot. His training intensity is not the greatest, and his training time is not the longest, but he does complete the training tasks according to the plan most accurately, and has a concentration and enthusiasm that surpasses that of most people. Talent. Determines your ceiling, and effort determines when you can touch the apex."

    "Like a robot?!" The young black man grew his mouth and shook his head, "It might as well let me die."

    Glen Mills smiled lightly and said earnestly: "VJ, it's wise to do what you should do at the best age. You know what he's doing now. How high is the endorsement fee? "American Track and Field" reported that his endorsement fee this year exceeded 30 million US dollars, and it will be higher in the future. The world's top brand Mercedes-Benz is expressing cooperation intentions. Gold for sprinters How long is life? Even if you retire after the age of 30, you have a lot of money, whether you want to play cricket or football, what kind of life do you want to live? Top models will not take the initiative now Climb into your bed."

    The young black man opened his mouth and seemed unable to understand that these contents would come out of his coach's mouth, but when he imagined it, it seemed that a new door had opened in front of him.

    He grew up in a small village in Jamaica. Even though he has participated in many world competitions at this age, his vision is not wide enough.

    And Glen Mills watched the young disciple lower his head thinking, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Digging out the innermost motivation of an athlete is itself an ability that a top coach needs to have. The **** for fun and enjoyment will restrict the athlete from climbing the highest peak, but he will also give people great motivation.

    "Then... Coach, can I run 100 meters?" With light in the eyes of the young black man, he glanced at the scene of Suzu cheering around the field in the TV camera, "100 meters is the best popular."

    Glen Mills refused without thinking: "Of course not, your height limits your starting speed, 200 meters and 400 meters are your main attack directions. Moreover, now you don't need to Speaking of these, the first thing you should learn is... get up early!"

    "Oh my God, I could make less money..."

    …

    The interview in the mixed area was not long, only five or six minutes before and after, Su Zu quickly left after answering a few questions.

    It's not because the reporters in the media let Su Zu off, but because the award ceremony of the men's 100m final will be held soon.

    In the Helsinki Olympic Stadium, spectators have left the seats one after another, but only a small number of people left. As the organizer of this World Championships, the Finnish spectators showed the first-class performance quality. Whether participating in the opening ceremony in the rain or watching the game in the rain afterwards, the applause and encouragement given to the athletes all used their enthusiasm to dilute the chill brought by the rainy weather.

    In the stadium that was as bright as day, Justin Gatlin, Suzu and Obikwelu walked into the Olympic Stadium one by one under the guidance of the female guide arranged by the organizer The podium built up.

    The warm applause and cheers sounded again, this is the applause of the champion, runner-up and third runner-up of the most important event of this world championship, thank them for their dedication to a wonderful showdown.

    Standing behind the podium, Su Zu raised his head and looked under the lights, the tens of thousands of spectators in the ring-shaped stadium all focused on him. Countless spotlights on the side of the arena kept flickering, and the camera's lens was closely facing the three people on the podium.

    Su Zu only felt that his blood was boiling in his heart, he stood in the middle of the arena and almost wanted to shout, like Cameron shouted when Oscar held the trophy, " Iamking of the world."

    But Su Zu held back, this is just the beginning.

    There are world records ahead of him, black lightning, and many challengers.

    No matter what happens in the future, the victory will be mine.

    I am the champion!

    …

    “…now is the award ceremony for the athletes, and the award to the athletes is Mr. Lamini Diack, President of the IAAF, who was a long jumper in the 1950s and won the World Championships Champion, in 1999 as president of the International Athletics Federation..."

    Yang Jian's voice was a little hoarse, but his emotions were always at the highest and most exciting stage. At this time, few domestic audiences who stayed up late to watch the game turned off the TV and slept, still Waiting for the perfect ending of this game.

    Bronze medals were awarded first, and Obikveru stepped onto the podium. Rimini Diack put the medal on Obikvelu and shook hands with him with a smile, "Francis, congratulations! You have proved yourself again!"

    "Thank you, thank you, sir!"

    There were tears in his eyes the moment he lowered his head to be handed the medal by Mini Diack.

    No one knows how much pressure an immigrant athlete needs to endure, and he did not leave Nigeria simply in pursuit of a better personal life. The biggest reason was the injury tormented at the time, and the Nigerian Sports Authority had been keeping him on the sidelines.

    And as an immigrant athlete, he's not much better off if he doesn't have results.

    This time, he once again proved himself that he is Francis Obekwelu still has the top strength and is one of the fastest runners on the planet.

    "Congratulations, Justin, you did a great job!"

    The silver medal was awarded, and Lammini Diack shook hands with Justin Gatlin to congratulate him.

    "Thank you!" Justin Gatlin smiled and expressed his gratitude. Although he failed to win the championship, no one could say anything about his 9.87. In the year after winning the Olympic title, he has grown far more than before, and his mind has become more peaceful.

    "Congratulations, Su, you have created a miracle, you are the first Asian player to stand on the championship podium."

    Finally, Lammini Diack came to Suzu with a smile, shook hands with Suzu, and gave him a gold medal.

    "Thank you!"

    Su Zu looked down at the gold medal on his neck, pursed his lips slightly, raised his head and raised his hands in all directions.

    First 100m, world champion!

    I did it!

    The award ceremony was completed, Lammini Diack and the staff holding the tray left, and the live broadcast sounded.

    "Raise the flag and play the national anthem!"

    Su Zu had a straight back and looked at the three-pole flagpole in the middle of the track and field. There, on the middle flagpole, the bright five-star red flag was slowly rising along with the high national anthem. rise.

    "...During the solemn march of the Volunteers, the five-star red flag was raised over the Helsinki Olympic Stadium. The country has turned a new page in the history of world athletics... Su Zu, come on! China, we must win!"

    "Arise! People who don't want to be slaves!

    Build our new Great Wall from our flesh!

    When the Chinese nation is at its most dangerous,

    Everyone was forced to let out a final roar.

    Get up! stand up! stand up!

    We are united,

    Fight the enemy's fire and advance!

    Fight the enemy's fire and advance!

    Go ahead! Go, go! "

    In the high and powerful melody, Su Zu sang the lyrics loudly.

    This is the first song I learned in that country elementary school in my childhood. Since then, no matter how many years have passed, he has been engraved in his bones.

    Never deliberately sang it once, but whenever the flag was raised, whenever the bright and majestic melody sounded.

    Familiar lyrics will be sung and shouted without thinking!

    I always think that I have forgotten it, it has been integrated into my life.

    There is a sense of sacred mission and pride in my heart at this moment! Be proud!

    I run for myself, but also for you, my great motherland!

    I am fortunate to be honored for you!
