There was a lot of commotion going on outside.
But after the Asian Games, various award-giving and award-receiving activities began to proceed in an orderly manner.
These are all familiar.
Especially Su Shen and Liu Xiang, they really made themselves laugh until they were numb every time.
There is no way around this, and the country also needs this kind of positive example to publicize and achieve a win-win situation for both sides.
As for the rest of the business activities, they will be arranged according to Su Shen and Liu Xiang's daily routine.
Two basic points must not be shaken————
First, the training plan cannot be delayed.
Second, don’t delay your rest.
And Su Shen is also entering the latest winter training.
There will be a competition next year, and I have been preparing for it for so long. If history continues as usual, it will be my best chance.
But now there are variables. In addition to Bolt himself, Blake has improved significantly faster than before. The strength of Powell and Gay cannot be underestimated. Basically, under their own influence, many problems have been avoided. , the results did not fall but rose.
So for next year, Su Shen must also make all-out preparations.
The first is to continue to break through around the hard power of 9.73s.
Hard power is the key to everything.
Only then will you have enough confidence to face any environment and any wind speed.
At this time, the annual IAAF Best of the Year nominations also begin.
The IAAF announced the list of nominees for the 2010 Best Athlete of the Year, with ten men and women each selected.
Su Shen, Liu Xiang, Zhao Haohuan, and Chen Juan are all among them.
The track and field team definitely stole the show this time.
In addition, American sprinter Tyson Gay, 110 hurdles star Oliver, and Jamaica's Powell were all successfully shortlisted.
What is shocking is that Usain Bolt, the "Jamaican Black Lightning" who has always been invincible in this award, was not selected for this ten-man list. He was the most undisputed presence in this award before. So much so that because he didn't show up and Robles wasn't selected, no one was so surprised or concerned.
The sports news of Tianchao Sports Channel also started to broadcast this news————
"As the 2010 track and field season comes to an end, the IAAF's year-end highlight, the selection of the best male and female athletes of the year, known as the "Oscars of Sports", has begun. Based on the opinions of the expert group, the IAAF will comprehensively review all world competitions throughout the year. Based on the results, 10 candidates each for men and women were selected.”
"The candidates will be evaluated and scored by more than 1,500 IAAF experts, coaches and designated media, and three male and female athletes will be selected. On December 21 this year, the IAAF will hold the year-end awards ceremony in Monaco. The final list of winners will be announced.”
Then the top ten men's candidate lists and the top ten women's candidate lists were made:
Men's list: Tyson Gay (US sprint), Cantwell (US shot put), Oliver (US 110m hurdles), Lemaitre (US sprint), Rudisha (Kenya 800m), Tadesse (US) Marathon Eritrea), Su Shen (sprint flower grower), Liu Xiang (110 meter hurdles flower grower), Zhao Haohuan (sprint flower grower).
Women's list: Campbell (Jamaica sprint), Felix (United States sprint), Cheva (Kenya 3000m steeplechase), Defar (Ethiopia long-distance race), Ennis (Heptathlon Kitty Eagle), Muller (Pole) Pole vault (Brazil), Ostapchuk (shot put Belarus), Lepakova (triple jump Kazakhstan), Vlasic (high jump Croatia), Chen Juan (sprint flower grower).
"Chinese athlete Su Shen has not lost a single match in the 100-meter event this season and is a promising contender for the championship."
…
As soon as this statement came out, many people became active online:
【Fuck! Could it be that it was our country’s Su Shen who ended Bolt’s three consecutive years as the best athlete? 】
[Bolt’s performance this year is really mediocre. His loss gives our country’s Su Shen a great chance! 】
[If it can be done, it will be the whole country, no, it will be the first time in Asian history! 】
【This is awesome! Su Shen has been with Su Shen several times. If he can do it this year, it will be considered a success! 】
[It’s my birthday tomorrow, and I give all three wishes to Su Shen! 】
[I hope Su Shen can lead Asian athletes to break the ice and successfully win the first IAAF Athlete of the Year award. 】
This year Su Shen is indeed popular, has strength, and has a record.
And he personally defeated the three Gabo Bao people.
It proves positively that at least in 2010, he was the first person in the 100-meter flying event in the season.
Although it is only a small competition year, it still ignites the light to the top of the pyramid for sprinters across Asia.
Masashi Erikochi made a comment on his Twitter: If you don’t give me Teacher Su this year, that would be shady!
It may be an exaggeration to say this, but in track and field, this is the case.
Because you can look at the number of winners in the history of this award and how much proportion sprinters account for.
And as long as there is an epoch-making powerhouse in the 100-meter event, it is basically certain that he will win this award. This also proves how influential the 100-meter project is. Of course, you can also understand that OMI has to do this, because what they have been promoting is the "100 meters represents the theory of ethnography".
So if you don’t give 100 meters, who will give it to you?
It used to be Bolt, but now Bolt has no players. This year he also has an unbeaten result in the 100 meters, and he also made a huge breakthrough on behalf of Asia and the yellow race. Tell me, if you don't give it to him, who will you give it to?
In the cafeteria, when everyone was eating, watching the news on the TV, Yuan Guoqiang really felt...
Recently, in the hands of this group of young people, there are more and more red wonders belonging to flower growers.
The IAAF Athlete of the Year, to be honest, this thing has been awarded so many times before that I never dared to think about it.
Even Yuan Guoqiang has never thought about awards in this area. Even Liu Xiang, being nominated is the limit.
If you want to win this honor, you still need to be the most influential project in the sports meeting to be absolutely convincing.
So now, we have it.
He looked at Su Shen being teased by a group of people and felt that he was really lucky.
To be able to get such a group of masters from the golden age is really a blessing compared to the seniors who have worked so hard.
Bolt himself was naturally dissatisfied that he was not even nominated, and sent a tweet to attack the Athletics Federation. However, since he cannot compete, he still hopes that this award will fall into the hands of a friend, not America. side.
"If there is me, then I will definitely be chosen. If I am not here, I think the most suitable candidate this year is also my good friend, Sue."
“He deserves to take that honor away this year.”
"Although I won't give him this opportunity next year."
In addition to domestic and Su Shen’s good friends, the sports academic community also rarely participated, and Marlon Burke took the lead:
“This year Sue’s achievements on the athletic field finally caught up with his achievements in academics.”
"Then if you don't give it to him, who else can you give it to?"
"Since Black Lightning is dozing off, it's naturally Red Lightning's turn, right?"
This wave, coupled with foreign Twitter starting to add fuel to the fire, seems like everyone has a rough answer before the official results come out next month:
This year, I am afraid that no male athlete can compete with Dongfang Su Shen in the field of track and field.
His season results and season honors also deserve this title.
as expected.
A few dozen days flew by in a blink of an eye.
Soon it was time for the awards to begin.
Su Shen and others all arrived in Paris.
Under the open-air venue, stars in the sports world began to take their places.
On the grand awards stage, IAAF President Diack announced the results of the 2010 Best Athlete of the Year selection on the 21st, Paris time——————
"Now it's up to us to announce the track and field athlete of the year."
"The winner of Women's Athlete of the Year is..."
The ten female athletes on the big screen began to play highlights of their own seasons, and a cursor began to jump over the ten names and avatars.
Campbell (Jamaica, sprint), Felix (United States, sprint), Chewa (Kenya, 3000m steeplechase), Defar (Ethiopia, long-distance race), Ennis (Heptathlon, United States), Muller (Pole Vault, Brazil) ), Ostapchuk (shot put, Belarus), Lepakova (triple jump, Kazakhstan), Vlasic (high jump, Croatia), Chen Juan (sprint flower grower).
Out of ten people, only one can win the prize.
Diak paused, looked at the envelope in his hand and said: "The two-time World Championship high jump champion from Croatia, she is..."
"Vlasic!"
"This Croatian female star has remained undefeated in seven IAAF Diamond League events this season, and has also won two heavyweight championships at the World Indoor Championships and European Championships. She deserves this award. "
In the end, the cursor stopped on the portrait of the legendary Croatian player.
"This is really an incredible achievement. I couldn't ask for anything more. I'm very proud of it!" Vlasic set an annual best result of 2.05 meters this year. Won 18 championships in 20 races. “I gave it my all in every race this year and winning this award is the best reward for all the hard work I’ve put in all season.”
Chen Juan regretted not having the last laugh, but the little girl did not regret it, because it was good for her to be shortlisted for this kind of award.
Su Shen has run with me several times, hasn't he?
Facing the award given to Vlasic, Chen Juan had no objection.
There is no outstanding dominant performance in the 100 meters this year, and there is no OW competition, so naturally he does not have the ability to fight against Vlasic.
Wait for the woman to finish.
Finally it was the man's turn.
At this time——Tyson Gay (U.S. sprint), Cantwell (U.S. shot put), Oliver (U.S. 110-meter hurdles), Lemaitre (French sprint), Rudisha (Kenya 800m), Ta Desai (marathon Eritrea), Su Shen (sprint flower grower), Liu Xiang (110 meter hurdles flower grower), Zhao Haohuan (sprint flower grower).
Ten names and avatars also began to reappear on the big screen.
At this moment, it was the first time for many people in the country to watch the presentation of this award and they were so nervous.
Because before I was just a spectator.
Even if Su Shen was shortlisted, it was already good, and I never thought about winning the award.
But this time...
Su Shen entered as the favorite to win the prize, so he naturally had a few more thoughts than usual.
Too many thoughts.
You will also become nervous.
Didi Didi————
As the cursor starts to jump.
"Now it's up to us to announce the track and field athlete of the year."
"The man who wins Men's Athlete of the Year is..."
finally----
In the mouth of IAAF President Diack, he read this name————
"From the ancient oriental country of flower growers!"
"The undefeated flyer throughout the entire season this year!"
"he is the one……"
"Su————————!"
"good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
With this voice, I don’t know how many people across the country shouted out at the same time.
Yuan Guoqiang, Yu Shili, Feng Shuyong, all shouted out at the same time in different spaces and time zones.
The light hit Su Shen.
This is also the first time that the IAAF athlete of the year award-winning lights have shone on a person with black hair and yellow skin.
After hearing the sound, Su Shen adjusted the collar of his suit slightly, then waved his hands left and right, amidst cheers.
Went to the podium.
Standing where Bolt stood last year.
"Congratulations, Su, I'm the one to present you with the award again." Diack didn't know how many times he had presented the award to Su Shen. As the most important award of the IAAF, he never thought that one day, it would also be given to this young man from the East. People are awarded.
"Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I hope to see you here again in the future." After Su Shen said appropriately, facing everyone, all the cameras, and all the expectations, he said:
"When I went to Moscow for the first time, I said it at that time."
“In this world, we will gradually see the red color belonging to the East.”
"Even if it's a hundred meters, it's the same."
"Now, I should be halfway there."
"The remaining half will be shared with everyone after I get the OW gold medal."
In a half-joking, half-serious atmosphere.
2010 also came to an end.
year 2011.
What will happen.
Su Shen and even himself were vaguely looking forward to it.
PS: This is how 2010 ends. Let’s welcome the next decade of the 21st century together! ! !
GOGOGO! ! !
