Chapter 146 I gave you a chance but you didn’t use it!

After the first group of the semi-finals, Blake, who also attracted much attention, also appeared on the stage.

At last year's Diamond League Zurich and Brussels stops, Blake left a deep impression on the world.

First, he defeated Wayne and Asafa Powell in the Zurich Station with a time of 9.82 seconds, and then defeated Walter Dix in the Brussels Station with the second-best time in history of 19.26 seconds, shocking the track and field circle.

Although Blake missed out on the men's 100-meter and 200-meter diamond awards due to points issues, at least in those two events, his stunning performance made people begin to re-examine his strength.

Blake's trip to the semifinals went smoothly. Facing the nearly 34-year-old Dewan Chambers, he seemed to be at ease, ranking first in the group and advancing to the finals with a time of 6.51 seconds.

Then we entered the third group of the semi-finals, and it was Su Bingtian's turn.

The competition in this third group is obviously stronger than the previous two groups. The more famous ones are Nesta Carter and Terrell Kimmons, in addition to Mark from Trinidad and Tobago.

Burns, Justin Warner of UMass.

The qualifying situation does not seem optimistic.

Su Bingtian basically has no hope for this semi-final, because so far he has not fully adapted to the change of rhythm behind the starting foot.

If he had not changed his starting position last year, he would have had a chance to squeeze into the finals if he went all out, but unfortunately there was no such thing.

However, this does not mean that Su Bingtian chose to give up. After all, it was not easy for him to participate in an international competition. Although it was an indoor competition, it was also a rare opportunity for experience.

I participated in the Daegu World Championships last year. Although I am still far away from the 100-meter final stage, I have accumulated initial competition experience.

This year is the year of the Olympic Games. Judging from last year's situation, if I can improve my strength to about 10 seconds, I really have a chance to hit the final stage (Su Bingtian's personal feeling).

So in this semi-final, I didn’t think about anything and just ran as fast as I could!

Su Bingtian took a deep breath, adjusted the starting block, and tried his best to keep his body active and his mind calm.

What you have to do now is to concentrate and listen to the gun smoothly.

"set——"

"boom--!"

The starting gun sounds. Whether Su Bingtian's journey to the World Indoor Championships will stop here or continue moving forward, it all depends on this!

Because I have no hope, I feel extremely calm inside.

Even though he doesn’t seem to care, he is doing his best!

With this shot, Su Bingtian finally regained the long-lost feeling.

The first explosive start after changing the starting foot - finally!

The powerful physical propulsion brought by the explosive start prompted Su Bingtian to eject forward with a very strong visual effect.

After the successful start, he quickly connected to the "three points and one line", followed by a set of smooth golden four steps. Su Bingtian gained a very obvious lead in the start-up acceleration!

Su Bingtian's performance shocked Terrell Kimmons next to him. The first reaction in his mind was: These Chinese people don't have martial ethics!

You didn't show off your skills in the preliminaries, pretending to be a rookie to confuse everyone, and then suddenly broke out in the semi-finals. Are you a tactician?

This was really an injustice to Su Bingtian, because he himself never thought that the shot would go so smoothly.

Su Bingtian was also shocked by his good performance, but he couldn't think too much at this time. All he could think about was: "Go, go, go!"

He stretched out and swung his arms with all his strength, and finally succeeded once. Su Bingtian knew that he must seize this opportunity to get a good result, so that he would have a perfect piece of video material after returning to China.

How boring is it to study other people’s video materials? Watching your own is the most enjoyable!

The distance of 60 meters is too short, so Su Bingtian ended his low center of gravity acceleration phase after 20 meters, raised his head and stood up and entered the middle run.

Su Bingtian's short-distance acceleration ability is currently second only to Wei En in China, and the same is true in Asia, but it may not have much advantage in the international arena.

If we follow previous assumptions, U.S. (Indoor) Championship champion Kimmons and Nesta Carter will definitely be better than him, but Wei En’s words seem to have really come true - Kimmons’ 6 seconds

45. Contains chicken blood!

After entering the middle run, Su Bingtian's speed increased to another level, followed closely by Nesta Carter, and then the national champion Kimmons.

"Puff-puff-puff-" A series of dense spikes scraping the ground sounded in the venue. Nesta Carter kept approaching, but Kimmons was indeed left behind by Su Bingtian from the beginning to the end.

.

Entering the last 10 meters, Nesta Carter was infinitely approaching Su Bingtian. This is the embodiment of the advantage of hard power.

In the last 10 meters, Su Bingtian was a little anxious and began to actively lean forward to prepare to press the line. However, the experienced Nesta Carter maintained her original running posture on the way and did not lean forward to press the line until she took the last step.

.

It was this one detail that allowed Nesta Carter to overtake Su Bingtian at the last minute. It was really a slight difference!

After crossing the line, the players ran into the buffer wall one after another. At the same time, the referee at the finish line was also quickly approving the results of the players.

Soon after, the results of the players were displayed on the big screen in the stadium:

The first place was naturally Nesta Carter, who beat Su Bingtian at the last moment, with a time of 6 seconds 54.

This result is not bad for Nesta Carter. He is a typical outdoor 100-meter athlete. Although the indoor 60-meter level is also world-class, it is difficult to exert his ultimate ability.

6.54 seconds is indeed a good result compared to his personal best of 6.49 seconds at the Birmingham Indoor Masters this year.

Second place - Su Bingtian, time 6 seconds 55.

The result of 6.55 seconds is very good news for Su Bingtian, because it is only 0.03 seconds away from his personal best time of 6.52 seconds, which means that Su Bingtian’s change of starting foot has begun to bear fruit!

After seeing the results, Su Bingtian happily waved in the direction of Yuan Guoqiang and Randy. One of them was his mentor who patiently supported him and helped him through difficulties, and the other was an outstanding foreign teacher who gave him valuable suggestions.

Without them, it would have been difficult for Su Bingtian to initially adapt to the change of rhythm after changing the starting foot in such a short period of time.

Ranking third in the group was Terrell Kimmons, with a time of 6.61 seconds. Seeing this result, Su Bingtian was convinced - his shot of 6.45 seconds did have some chicken blood in it.

Of course, an athlete cannot always maintain his best condition. Maybe Kimmons was suddenly affected by an injury during this period, causing his condition to decline. It is not impossible.

But opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. If Kimmons can bring his U.S. Championship status to Instanbul, not to mention competing for gold and silver, winning a bronze medal should be very stable.

It's a pity that I gave you the opportunity but you didn't use it!
