It is not without reason that the third group in the semi-final is called the death group. As can be seen from the data, Su ranked first in the first 60 meters, 6.29 seconds, and the whole journey took 9.83 seconds. Baker advanced to the final as the first group, with a score of 9.83 seconds, but lost to the Soviet Union, ranking second. The first 60 meters were 0.08 seconds slower than the Soviet Union, and Jacobs finished third in the group with 9.84 seconds, keeping Vero and Vicot first in Europe together.
In the final, Jacobs became a dark horse. The first 60 meters ran to 6 seconds 4 1, which was only 0.0 1 second slower than the semi-final, second only to Corrie's 6 seconds 39. Jacobs has maintained a very good state and has a strong ability to fight continuously. The last 40 meters race became the key for Jacobs to win the gold medal. It takes 3.39 seconds, which is more than Glass's 3.4 seconds1and West's.
Under the influence of three factors: lack of physical recovery (older age), being in the death group, and concentrating on preparing for the semi-final (running as the final), Su won the sixth place in the final with a score of 9.98 seconds, creating a sprint history in China, with 6.48 seconds in the first 60 meters and 3.50 seconds in the last 40 meters, which is a normal result.
Su Can Tian Bing won a medal? It's possible. The third group in the semi-final is the death group, which means that there is little pressure for the first and second groups to advance. The top two scores in the first group were 9.95 seconds and 9.98 seconds, while those in the second group were 9.98 seconds and 10 seconds. If Sue is in the weakest second group, he will take 9.95 seconds to 10 seconds to advance to the final.
Is it possible for Sue to open it for 9.80 seconds? The answer is also yes. In the semi-final, Sue ran stiff in the last 10 meter, and had a fight with Jacobs, which affected the sprint speed. So far, Su's fastest result in the last 40 meters is 3.49 seconds in the Beijing World Championships, and she ran to 3.50 seconds in the Olympic final under the condition of insufficient physical recovery, indicating that Su had a good rest. The last 40 meters had hard strength in 3.50 seconds, and the first 60 meters were not required to run to 6.29 seconds. If he can run to 6.39 seconds,
Sue achieved excellent results in the battle and became the first person in Asia in the 100-meter race. Honor, absolute results, competitive ability and peak time restrictions are all first-class in Asia. Su said that he will fight until the Paris Olympic Games, and his age will continue to increase, which means that he is full of more uncertainties. We can't expect more from Sue. We expect him to continue to write the new history of Asian sprints, run for 9.80 seconds and become the world's top flying man on a par with or close to the Five Tigers.
