The 2012 IAAF Male Athlete of the Year is announced——
Su Shen defeated all opponents.
Including but not limited to Blake, Bolt, Merritt, etc., he won the second IAAF Male Athlete of the Year in his life.
The reason is even better than the last time I got it.
The last IAAF reason was:
A historic breakthrough in speed in Asia! The first World Championships gold medal in Asia's 100-meter history! The first OW gold medal in Asia's century-old sprint history!
Well this time, it's more violent and direct.
Asia’s world-class breakthrough in speed!
Asia’s first Olympic 100m gold medal in 100m history!
The first sprint Olympic record in Asia’s century-old history!
Su Shen's results are strong enough, and by defeating Usain Bolt in the Olympics, his impression flow is suddenly full, making it difficult for him not to win this award.
Su Shen came on stage to receive the award, and Liu Xiang applauded most enthusiastically.
Bolt is most embarrassed down there.
Because at this time, I don’t know why the camera is always on Bolt’s side.
Bolt thought he would stay for a few seconds and then leave.
How do you know?
Just fucking stay here.
It's almost impossible to put on a fake smile for Bolt.
Directly blackface.
But what the on-site cameraman and director seemed to want was to record this scene immediately, and the reporters also understood it.
I thought he was such a good person.
Now, there is no shortage of materials.
At the IAAF Male Athlete of the Year award ceremony, Bolt faced him in black face.
Or when Su Shen comes on stage, Bolt has a black face the whole time.
Or the secret of Bolt's black face, and Su Shen took what belonged to him?
It doesn’t matter what you say.
These days, the mobile Internet era is coming.
The more explosive the headlines.
It becomes more and more popular.
Everyone hates clickbait.
But in fact, the body is very honest.
I just can’t help but click on this one with a more attractive title.
If you don't make some news, they will come for nothing.
Do you think anyone wants to watch pure athletes award awards now?
Nonsense.
It's not like I'm too busy.
Any award from the Nobel down to the Oscars and Sportsman of the Year...
In fact, they all just look at the results.
As for the awarding process.
It’s okay to watch the short video afterwards, but who will watch the whole thing now?
In the NBA, the post-game data party divides the world equally, okay?
The faster and faster pace also makes it easier for reporters to write more and more randomly, and everyone doesn’t have that much time to verify things anyway.
IAAF President Diack announced: "The IAAF Sportsman of the Year selection was founded in 1988 and has become the most authoritative award in track and field since its inception. The first best male athlete was American sprint superstar Carl Lewis.
The best female athlete is Joyner Joyner of the United States. In the annual selection of the Athletics Federation, the male athlete who has won the most awards before is Morocco's Gueroi. This famous middle and long-distance runner has won three Olympic gold medals and four world championships.
He reached the top of the World Indoor Championships three times, and won the Best of the Year three times in a row in 2001, 2002, and 2003. On the one hand, this was because of his amazing dominance, and on the other hand, the world's athletics world fell into silence during that period, especially the most watched sports.
Sprint events lack an absolute leader."
"The overlord of the long-distance running event was born, but the sprint event, as the golden crown of track and field, cannot have an absolute overlord. This is undoubtedly a pity. Fortunately, this problem began to change in 2008."
“First, Usain Bolt was born in 2008, and his bow and eagle shooting shocked the Bird’s Nest. At the Beijing Olympics, he won the men’s 100m, 200m and 4*100m relay championships in a world record-breaking manner. Then, in Berlin in 2009,
He once again won three gold medals at the World Championships and raised the 100-meter record to a terrifying 9.55 seconds, and finally refreshed it to 9.53 seconds. His presence brought sprinting back to its rightful place."
"The world's attention has been refocused on the 100 meters. Therefore, during this period, Bolt also won the title of the IAAF's Best Male Athlete twice in a row. He truly deserves it."
"2010 was not a big competition year, so there weren't many outstanding performances, but just one year later a new sprint leader emerged, and he was Red Lightning."
"Su from the mysterious ancient country in the East."
“In 2011, he won the first 100-meter gold medal at the World Championships for Asians, and also won the IAAF Best Male Athlete of the Year. This year, in 2012, he won the first Olympic 100-meter gold medal for the yellow race.
The rice gold medal completes the 100-year Olympic Games for the entire yellow race, so this year he once again won the IAAF's best male athlete, and he deserves it."
"Right now, he has won the IAAF Best Male Athlete Award as many times as Bolt. I don't know who of the two will win the World Championships in Moscow this year, and which of the two can win the IAAF World Championships.
The award for the best male athlete? If someone can win it, it will be equal to Morocco’s Gueroy who has won the most awards in history.”
"Become one of the people who has won the most awards for the best male athlete in history."
"American Carl Lewis, known as the greatest track and field athlete of the 20th century, won the Athletics Federation of the Year award twice, in 1988 and 1991. Now Bolt has won the award twice, and Su has won the award twice."
Diack deliberately whetted his appetite when he said this, looked at the crowd and said: "Because Lewis has retired for many years, it is impossible for him to win this award again, so the only person who can do it is between Bolt and Su
."
"Now let's see if it's Su or Bo. If one of these two can win it again, he can tie Queroy and become the joint number one in history. He can also become a sprinter and win the IAAF's best award.
The person with the most reps among male athletes.”
"Complete surpassing the opponent and Lewis."
"Su, I wonder what you want to say now?"
Diack handed the microphone to Su Shen next to him.
"Actually, I don't have anything to say. The only thing I want to say is, since I have already obtained it twice, why not..."
"Let's do it again."
Bolt's face turned dark when he heard this.
Aren’t these words made clear, are you trying to steal food from your own mouth?
He has become accustomed to winning this award all by himself, and no one dares to challenge him in the field of sprinting.
But what now?
This person has appeared.
He looked at Su Shen's face, as if he was trying his best to see something, but unfortunately, he couldn't see anything.
Su Shen has now reached a height similar to him.
He is no longer the same person as before.
Bolt in front of Su Shen.
It's also not the same person as before.
Watching the audience burst into thunderous cheers.
The camera also cuts directly to Bolt and Su Shen.
Two sprinting super-era figures.
Just on the big electronic screen, one left and one right.
Looking at each other from afar.
Of course, if you think that things will end here, you are totally wrong. Because just one month later, the 2013 Laureus International Sports Awards will also begin to be awarded.
On the evening of the 11th local time in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the final winner of the 2013 Laureus World Sports Awards was announced.
The avatars of Bolt, Messi, Su Shen, Liu Xiang, Merritt and others began to appear on the screen.
The Lawrence Awards also have an audience.
Because this award covers the entire sport, it is generally considered to be more valuable than the IAAF's Best Male Athlete. Because you are competing against the entire sports industry.
For example, on the original timeline, although Ye Shiwen and Guoping were nominated for the Best Breakthrough and Best Group Awards at this year's Lawrence Awards, they both missed the awards in the end. They won the Grand Slam for the first time after 76 years with Murray.
Compared with the championship and ending the 104-year Olympic tennis gold medal drought, Ye Shiwen's Olympic medley double crown is indeed not the biggest breakthrough. Compared with golf, a highly professional development project, the national table tennis team won four gold medals in the London Olympics.
, it is too ordinary. Ye Shiwen and the National Table Tennis Team failed to win. As expected, the lack of professionalism and the lack of outstanding results in basic major events are important obstacles to Chinese sports winning in the Lawrence Selection, even if you are in the Olympics
Although he has made great efforts in the field, he still cannot get the recognition from the World Sports Awards.
In other words, the Lawrence Awards are said to cover all sports, but in fact it is not difficult to see from the nomination list of this year's Lawrence Awards that the projects that can be nominated can basically be divided into three major categories.
The first category is the basic major events, among which track and field and swimming are not considered more important. Except for the Team of the Year Award, all other award nominations include track and field athletes, with swimming second.
The second category is highly professional personal events, mainly tennis, golf and F1.
The third category is football and basketball, the two most influential sports in the world.
In fact, our country's athletes who have won or been nominated are all in these events, such as Yao Ming, Liu Xiang, Su Shen, Li Na, Ye Shiwen, and Feng Shanshan, who entered the peripheral list this year.
From the perspective of the influence of the project, track and field and swimming among the basic sports can be said to be the mother of sports, and they are also relatively easy to carry out. Moreover, water sports, which are relatively unpopular in China, are not as popular in the world as track and field swimming.
They are evenly matched. These three basic sports have a total of 121 gold medals in the Olympic Games, which shows their importance. The level of a country's basic sports can reflect the degree of sports development in this country.
Otherwise, the 100-meter sport would not have such a high status promoted by Europeans and Americans in the past few decades.
Except for track and field events related to race.
It is easy to understand that projects with a relatively high degree of professionalism are more popular. Whether it is golf, tennis or basketball, they all have a broad market and the ability to attract money. The star effect is stronger, and professional sports can promote the development of amateur sports.
Although professional sports were rejected by the amateurism principle of the Olympic Movement in the early days, they have gradually been accepted by the Olympic Games in the past two decades, which is enough to prove the importance of professional sports.
In recent years, my country's sports have not been highly professionalized and have not had enough influence. The Laureus Award prefers professional sports, which itself proves the popularity and vitality of these projects. Professional sports survive by making profits, and only with the love and participation of the audience can they win. Keep the project alive.
The traditional advantageous projects have insufficient influence around the world, which also makes it difficult for Chinese sports to get the recognition they deserve in the selection of international sports awards such as Lawrence. Most of the selection committee members of the Lawrence Award are from Europe and the United States.
People naturally prefer basic sports and professional sports. However, table tennis, gymnastics and diving, which China is good at, have extremely limited influence in the world. The strongest sport, table tennis, is always in danger of being kicked out of the Olympic Games.
, it is extremely difficult for Chinese people to win the Lawrence Prize.
Therefore, you can see that most of the people on the list are either in track and field, or in highly professional sports such as basketball or tennis.
Su Shen and Liu Xiang both made the list.
It also happens to represent track and field, the mother of sports.
This is a sports area that Europeans and Americans cannot rely on no matter what.
Besides, they have been promoting it for so many years.
Including themselves, it is deeply ingrained.
That's why they are so unwilling to see us rise in track and field.
For them.
No matter how many gold medals we win in badminton or table tennis, we can't win one in track and field.
Especially the ethnographic front project they have been promoting for so many years.
Otherwise Liu Xiang's influence would not be so great.
Otherwise, the effect of Su Shen's sudden appearance would not have made them so scared.
Candidates are on site.
For Bolt, the Laureus Man of the Year award is no stranger. He has won the award twice before, in 2009 and 2010. There is no doubt that this is a reflection of his performance in the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the 2010 Beijing Olympics.
The best reward for achieving great results at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin, winning gold and breaking records has become the main theme of the Jamaicans in the past two years. With such a strong performance, Bolt defeated F1 drivers Hamilton, Nadal, Cristiano Ronaldo, etc. in 2009
He was elected for the first time and successfully defended his title in 2010, defeating Federer, Messi, Contador and others.
But the next two years were taken away by Su Shen.
You say it's a coincidence or not.
If Su Shen takes it away again this time.
That would also equal Bolt in the Laureus Best Male Athlete Award. So far, in the history of Lawrence, there are only four players who have won the Laureus Best Male Player of the Year multiple times. In addition to Bolt, they are Federer, Schumacher and
Woods, but the Car King, Tiger, and Lightning only won the award twice.
Only tennis king Federer has won it 4 times.
The Swiss won the best male athlete for four consecutive years from 2005-08, becoming the first person in history.
Therefore, if Su Shen wins it again, he will also join the club that has won the Lawrence Male Athlete of the Year multiple times.
Let this club go from 4 people to 5 people.
This makes Bolt quite embarrassed sitting here.
Liu Xiang even took the initiative to build momentum for Su Shen during the interview. He said bluntly: "It doesn't matter whether I can win it or not, but Su Shen must win the Best Male Athlete Award from Lawrence this time."
The reasons he gave are also very good.
"I really can't imagine representing the entire yellow race, the entire Asians, and the entire country of 1.4 billion people to win the first Olympic 100-meter gold medal in a century and set a new 100-meter record in the Olympic Games. Such an achievement, if it is not possible
Won the Laureus Male Athlete of the Year this time..."
"Then I think it's a shame for Lawrence."
What Liu Xiang said is reasonable and well-founded.
Because it is indeed so.
Can you say that's not the case?
Basically, you cannot use any words to suppress this breakthrough gold medal in the history of the race.
Liu Xiang even put a tight spell on these European and American media who want to be politically correct, saying bluntly——
"Su Shen can achieve a historic breakthrough in the 100 meters for the entire Asia. I think he is the Jesse Owens among us yellow people. If the black Jesse Owens can dominate the world in awards, then Su Shen should also
That’s how it should be.”
"Of course, if you white people have such a person, then I think he is also qualified."
But isn’t that fart?
The days of white sprinters are over.
Ever since black people started to intervene, there has long been no market for him.
In this day and age, it’s difficult to open the door for even 10 seconds. Do you still want to win a gold medal or even set an Olympic record?
Liu Xiang's words were purely to silence these people.
Don't tell me, the effect is indeed very good.
In the era of online media.
As for celebrities, once fermented.
It will cause a lot of public opinion bias.
And everyone is sitting here.
The media gather here.
Actually, just to see who this year’s male athlete of the year is?
There is no way, in the field of sports, men have greater influence, and women have weaker overall influence. This is determined by the market and the audience.
It does not depend on your subjective wishes.
Therefore, everyone is paying more attention to who is the male athlete of the year?
The first thing to be announced is the Sports Academy Special Achievement Award-Phelps.
The Lifetime Achievement Award goes to Sebastian Coe.
Extreme Athlete of the Year - Baumgartner.
Disabled Athlete of the Year - Daniel Dias.
Comeback of the Year Award - Felix Sanchez.
Breakthrough Award of the Year - Andy Murray.
Female Athlete of the Year - Ennis.
Then there's the male athlete of the year.
A group of people's names are rotated above.
The screen also started to fluctuate.
Although there are many people.
But in fact, many of them are running with them.
Even Messi doesn't necessarily have much chance of winning.
"Is it Merritt who set a new record in short span history?"
"Is it Liu Xiang who performs the last dance of Phoenix Nirvana?"
"Or is it Su Shen who represents us yellow people and wins the century-old sprint Olympic gold medal dream?"
Yang Jian was also very nervous when broadcasting this program. In fact, he could accept it whether it was for Su Shen or Liu Xiang.
But we just hope that this award will fall into the hands of one of our own.
three.
two.
one.
When the screen suddenly stopped scrolling.
The beautiful host at the scene was wearing a red evening dress, turned her head and looked over, and immediately announced loudly:
"2013 Laureus Male Athlete of the Year."
"belong--"
"Red lightning from the mysterious ancient country!"
"Su!!!"
The spotlight suddenly hit the side where Su Shen was sitting.
Liu Xiang immediately got up and hugged him to express his congratulations.
Messi and others also came over to hug.
Just win someone.
See here.
My eyes are all black.
My mouth almost pouts.
In fact, when he was interviewed, he believed that anyone could win. He also hoped that a sprinter would win the Laureus Best Male Athlete this time.
But you also know.
What you say on your lips is often different from what you think in your heart.
What Bolt was thinking was——
Don't let Su take it away.
He was so "bad" in London last year.
I lost all the gold medals I should have won.
He already knew that he was here to run with him.
But he didn't want this award to fall on Su Shen.
otherwise.
Su Shen has won the Laureus Male Athlete of the Year the same number of times as the IAAF Male Athlete of the Year.
will catch up with him.
Bolt hates to see this kind of thing.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have remembered the two people who defeated him for so long.
Great athlete.
Sometimes you are not big-minded.
There wasn't even a moment when he loved Messi and football so much.
In an interview, he also expressed his preference. If Messi can win Lawrence this time, he also believes that he deserves it.
But it's a pity.
In the end, this award was achieved despite many difficulties.
It was given to Su Shen.
Just like Liu Xiang said.
Su Shen last year.
Not black at all.
Too hard stuff.
When Su Shen walked on stage.
In addition to those polite encouragements and acceptance speeches.
At the end, it was facing the direction of the guest seats below.
I said something I really wanted to say——
"Usain."
"Now."
"I'm catching up with you."
Bolt's face was in pain, but he had to keep smiling.
Sometimes it's not easy to be a celebrity.
Unintentional words and expressions.
Do what you say you will do.
Everyone just thought Su Shen was joking.
Only Bolt knows.
This guy's eyes are serious.
Just like what he saw for the first time at the 2006 Imperial Capital World Youth Championship.
Just that time.
He felt that Su Shen was still a little kid.
Asians are not suited to sprinting at all.
There is no threat to yourself.
Just an unrealistic dream.
But what now?
His dream has come true.
Many honors.
Su Shen had already walked to Bolt's side.
The gap is already there.
Getting smaller and smaller.
And now that the tie has been completed.
What's next?
Then the only next step is...
Try to go beyond.
Bolt.
It's rare to see it from Su Shen's eyes.
I read some personal understandings.
He clenched his fist slightly and looked back.
Although there is still a smile on the corner of the mouth.
But there was already a tit-for-tat confrontation in his eyes.
