Chapter 1313 The IAAF Male Athlete of the Year is... you!
There is 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 promote 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, don’t delay your training plan.
Secondly, don’t delay your rest.
And Su Shen will also enter 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 Gayin should not be underestimated. Basically, they have avoided many problems under their own influence.
, the performance does not fall but rises.
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 be confident enough 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 Guyon, 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 the ten-man list this time. He was the last person in this award before.
His undisputed existence. So much so that because he did not appear and Robles was not selected, no one was so surprised or concerned.
The sports news of Tianchao Sports Channel also started to broadcast this news————
"With the end of the 2010 track and field season, 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 comprehensively considers 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 candidates and the top ten women's candidates were printed:
Pole vault (Brazil), Ostapchuk (shot put Belarus), Lypakova (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:
[Holy shit! Could it be that my country’s Su Shen was the one who ended Bolt’s three consecutive seasons as the best athlete? 】
[Bolt’s performance this year is really mediocre. His failure to be selected 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 the history of Asia!]
[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.]
Su Shen is indeed popular this year, has strength, and has a record of success.
And he personally defeated the three Gabo Bao people.
It proved positively that at least in 2010, he was the first person in the 100-meter flying event in the season.
Although it was only a small competition year, it still lit 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, it will be a shady act!
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 of this award in history and how much proportion sprinters account for.
And as long as there is an epoch-making powerhouse in the 100-meter field, he will basically win this award, which also proves how influential the 100-meter project is. Of course, you can also understand that OMI has to do this, because
What they themselves have been promoting is the rhetoric that "100 meters represents the theory of race."
So if you don’t give 100 meters, who will you give it to?
It used to be Bolt, but now Bolt has no contestants. This year he also has an undefeated 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, while everyone was eating, Yuan Guoqiang really felt as he watched the news broadcast on the TV...
Recently, in the hands of this group of young people, there are more and more red miracles belonging to flower growers.
The IAAF Athlete of the Year Award, 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 have the most influential event 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, compared to the seniors who have worked so hard, is really a blessing.
Bolt himself was naturally dissatisfied that he was not even nominated, and sent a tweet to attack the Athletics Federation. However, since he could not compete, he still hoped that this award would fall into the hands of a friend, not America.
side.
"If there is me, then I must be chosen. If I am not here, I think the most suitable person this year is also my good friend, Su."
"He deserves to take home the honor 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 Malone Burke took the lead:
"This year Sue's achievements on the athletic field finally caught up with his achievements in academia."
"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?"
With this wave, and foreign Twitter starting to add fuel to the flames, it seems that before the official results come out next month, everyone has a rough answer:
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.
Dozens of days go by in the 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 we will announce the best 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), Ennis (Heptathlon Kitty), Muller (Pole vault Brazil)
), Ostapchuk (shot put Belarus), Lypakova (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 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 Athletics Championships and the 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.
I won the title 18 times in 20 races. "I gave my best in every race this year. Winning this award is the best reward for my efforts throughout the 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 also 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 compete with Vlasic.
Wait for the woman to finish.
Finally it was the man's turn.
At this time——Tyson Gayin (United States sprint), Cantwell (United States shot put), Oliver (United States 110 meters hurdles), Lemaitre (France sprint), Rudisha (Kenya 800 meters), 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 China to see this award being presented 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.
It will also make you nervous.
Didi Didi————
As the cursor starts to jump.
"Now we will announce the best 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 this year throughout the entire season!"
"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 light shines on a person with black hair and yellow skin.
After Su Shen heard the sound, he adjusted the collar of his suit slightly, then waved his hands left and right, amidst cheers.
Walked to the podium.
Standing where Bolt stood last year.
"Congratulations, Su, I'm the one to present you with an 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 didn't expect that one day, he would also present it 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!
