Chapter 312 Extra Story 1: Clark's popularity?

Before Clark really started to shine his unique brilliance in the world of track and field, many track and field enthusiasts around the world were discussing whether he could be put together with Su Qian, collectively known as the Asian twin stars.

Discussion:【Does Asian sprint have twin stars?Isn't there only Su, the only child of Miracle? 】

This voting topic has received a lot of support on INS, Twitter, and Facebook. The vast majority of viewers voted for Su Qian, the only son of a sprint miracle in Asia.

Although some people say that among the Asian twin stars, Clark actually became famous first, and Su Qian became famous after Clark, but the vast majority of foreign audiences don't care about so much. In their perception, it is Su Qian It's more awesome.

After all, he was a 17-year-old genius who won the 200-meter individual medal at the World Championships. In the Olympic arena, this young man with miracles written all over his body actually won three medals at the Paris Olympics. All the participating events have advanced to the finals and won 3% of the medals - is there another miracle boy in this world?

Not to mention the series of U20 world records held by Su Qian. There is no other player of this level in the world. What is Clark?

Of course, there are also those who defend Clark, most of whom are local supporters of Clark in Singapore.

[Su Qian is very good, but in the [-]-meter sprint, Clark is definitely one of the players who can be called Su Qian!

At the U18 stage, both Su Qian and Clark were world record holders in the same age group. During this period, Su Qian's [-]-meter PB was once behind Clark.

At the U20 stage, Clark also caught up with Su Qian's performance. Even at the current stage, Clark's PB9 in the Olympic semi-finals once overtook Su Qian.

Although Clark failed to win a medal in the final stage, his time of 9 seconds is definitely a world-class level, even the world's top level in the same age group (U92)!

Compared with U20 players all over the world, Su Qian and Clark's performance and achievements in the same age group in the [-]-meter event are top-notch existences. What's the problem with combining them into Asian twin stars? 】

Of course, there is nothing wrong with this rebuttal, but Su Qian's fans' perspective is "Su Qian's events are not limited to the 100-meter sprint, his 200-meter score is also WU20R, can Clark run this score?"Su Qian still has 400 meters left, and the team still has 4X100 meters relay! '

Good guy, that's right, Clark can stand side by side with Su Qian in the 200-meter sprint, but in the 400-meter, [-]-meter... Clark really can't participate.

It's very difficult.

As for 4X100 meters...

That's it.

如果说中国队当初凑出另外3个成绩在10秒30以内的选手都不太容易的话,新加坡就是要再凑到3个成绩在10秒80以内的选手都费劲儿。

Just look at Clark's first official debut time of 10 seconds, which directly broke the Singapore national 46-meter sprint record, and we know that Clark's entire career has probably missed the team event.

In fact, what the supporters of both sides said is not wrong, but if you want to talk about the weight of Su Qian and Clark in the eyes of ordinary people, Su Qian really has too much advantage at the current stage. Running a great run, but his 100% medal winning rate at the Olympics is just astonishing.

To win enough gold, silver and bronze medals in the Olympic Games at one time is such a legendary story that even the Olympic officials specially prepared a huge website press release for Su Qian to publicize Su Qian's achievements in the Paris Olympic Games.

All that aside, it's surprising that the only two countries that voted no more in this vote on 'should Clark be called one of the Asian sprint twins', aside from Clark's native Singapore, The other country is actually the United States.

Subject: [(Screenshot of voting source statistics.jpg) Fantastic voting results, can someone explain?Why in this discussion vote, there are so many Americans who think that Clark can be called together with Su Qian? 】

In this screenshot of voting source statistics, more than half of the American netizens think that Clark is completely worthy of being side by side with Su Qian. Not only the blogger with this screenshot statistics, but most of the netizens are surprised by this result.

However, some netizens know that Clark has been training in the United States.

[If I'm not mistaken, Clark is a student of old Joris, right?You have been training in the United States, but you are only trained in the United States. Will there be so many American supporters? ? 】

This statistic really puzzles many netizens, wondering why Clark has so many supporters in the United States.

It wasn't until a native American track and field enthusiast appeared that the mystery was solved.

【Aha, so you didn't know Clark before this?We call him Young Flash in America - what a genius!If it was before the Olympics, among American track and field fans, there would definitely be more people who knew Clark than Su Qian!

He was under 16 when he arrived in the United States, and he was training in Joris' training school. The old man Joris doesn't care how old you are, he only cares whether you have talent and are worthy of his training.

It is said that when Clark first arrived in the United States, he was personally trained by Joris, and the old man Joris also arranged for him a large number of competitions in the United States, where he competed with adult players in the United States.

He started out as a humble guy, but it didn't take long for him to start racking up great rankings at many professional level events, and even gradually started sweeping championships.

Oh, what a sad memory, he qualified through the old Joris training school, so we didn't know he was a foreign athlete at the time, and we American track and field fans thought that the United States was going to compete again. There is a super talent in the [-]-meter sprint - he even has a dedicated fan club among us track and field fans, but we didn't find out until one time when he participated in the IAAF Challenge that he is already a Singaporean players.

...It's hard to imagine the feeling of a one-night heartbreak, oh, it's like the girl of my dreams told me in person that she's getting married, not to me. 】

_(:з」∠)_?

The big track and field fan brother from the United States also talked a lot, and the rest of the onlookers listened to his story about Clark with admiration at first.

But as he talked, things got more and more wrong. In the end, even the metaphor of the dream lover came out.

outrageous.

But all netizens understand that Clark's popularity in the United States is definitely not low, and it is even about the same as his popularity in Singapore.

This is something that many people did not think of beforehand. They thought that Clark was simply trained in the United States, but they did not realize that the American audience completely regarded Clark as one of their own.

Judging from the tone of this big American brother, if Clark is willing to immigrate to the United States, he may immediately be warmly welcomed by American audiences.

No one knew about this before. After the big American brother punctured this layer of window paper, netizens who reacted went to look through the records of various professional track and field events in the United States in recent years.

Sure enough, Clark's name was on many of them, and with the increase in the number of competitions, Clark's results and rankings in various events have risen steadily.

And if you go to the domestic track and field forums in the United States, you can find that Clark’s name is among the long-standing posts on the forum pages. American track and field fans mention Clark’s name no less frequently than they mention American sprint stars.

[Olympic games are over, Clark is still representing Singapore...Look at the players in the United States, is there anyone in the same age group who can surpass Clark's performance? 】

[Who swore before that Clark would be naturalized to compete in the United States? ?Hey, Team USA needs him, but he's still not naturalized. 】

[Aha, what did I see?Another American U20 player who challenged Clark?Boy, did you run under 10 seconds?If not, how do you challenge Clark? 】

[Guys, Clark's post-Olympic schedule, is he going to hit the Diamond League year-end finals?How about guessing what kind of results Clark can achieve in the year-end finals? 】

Hey!

They didn't notice it at all before, but after they really noticed, the audience realized that Clark's popularity in the United States is really high.

Except for the top players in the United States, such as Emanuel and others, the most popular sprinter is not any athlete in the United States, but a foreigner like Clark who is training in the United States.

After going to the American forum to watch around, all the melon-eating netizens on the Internet were shocked.

What netizens who eat melons didn't expect was that Clark, a real Asian, competed in the United States before and won such a series of achievements and popularity, why they didn't notice it at all.

But soon someone posted a picture of Clark with his name.

【[Clark Screenshot.jpg]=. =… May I ask such a player, with a milk chocolate complexion, mixed golden brown hair, and his name is Clark, even if you are watching a professional track and field event in the United States, will you realize that he is not an American? 】

Everyone: Oh, indifference.jpg

That's really hard to think of.

It never occurred to him that the spread of Clark's popularity would be limited by his mixed-race appearance. Every netizen who realized this reason had the face of an old man on the subway looking at his mobile phone, and was shocked.

And if there were still such discussions about Clark's popularity and the title of Asian Twin Star just after the Olympics, then the first time most passers-by realized that Clark was enough to become a Twin Star with Su Qian was when At the year-end finals of the Diamond League after the Olympics.

Su Qian did not participate in the year-end finals of the Diamond League this year, but in the United States, McBride and Emanuel both participated in the year-end finals this time. When it comes to the level and gold content of the contestants, they are definitely not bad .

As the most well-known commercial league hosted by the IAAF in track and field events, the Diamond League is also one of the important channels for audiences from all over the world to watch high-level track and field events.

After the Olympics, Clark directly qualified for the year-end finals of the Diamond League by virtue of the points he won in the [-]-meter championship in two consecutive Diamond League sub-stations.

In these two Diamond League games, he won the championship with a time of 9 seconds and 94 seconds respectively.

The ability to easily and steadily break through the [-]-meter mark in [-] seconds made many viewers finally realize that although Clark does not have medals like Su Qian, his strength is indeed not inferior to Su Qian.

Then, in this year's Diamond League year-end finals, Clark beat McBride and Emanuel with a time of 9 seconds, won the Diamond League year-end finals, and became the youngest player in history. The Diamond League sprint year-end championship winner.

9秒88的这个成绩,也刷新了苏谦此前在奥运决赛中9秒89的WU20R。

On this day, Clark posted a rare INS and Weibo, and at the same time @苏贤.

Clark: [^^@苏迪谢谢谢, I caught up with you. 】

Faced with Clark's performance, most of the audience realized that the strength between Clark and Su Qian was indeed infinitely close. These two guys, relying on their own strength, took the men's 100-meter sprint WU20R from The previous 9 seconds 97 all the way to the world of 9 seconds 90, which brought huge trauma to the U20 [-]-meter sprinters all over the world.

On the day when this new record of 9 seconds 88 was born, the tears of U20 players all over the world were enough to raise the Pacific Ocean by 1 centimeter, and on social platforms such as INS and Twitter, from this day on, a picture of a master P began to circulate—— This picture shows two dark thrones, on which sit two demon kings, one with Clark's face and the other with Su Qian's face, sitting side by side, smiling contemptuously at mortals .

...is very heavy.

There is also a ferocious youth track and field forum, which simply set this picture of the devil king as the front page, which attracted countless teenage athletes in the forum to cry and howl——

[Please, in order to avoid the stare of the demon king on INS, I went to the forum without scrolling INS, but the forum headlines are directly double demon kings? ? ? 】

[Station Master, I warn you to be a human being, and quickly change the headline of this double demon king! 】

[QAQ... Facing this double devil headline, who can not despair?The [-]-meter runner fell into a coma on the spot. 】

【... To be honest, the 200-meter runner also fell into a coma on the spot. 】

【... The mentality of the 400-meter runners is temporarily stable, but it is not sure whether they will suddenly faint later. 】

So, the screams and howls were all together, which can greatly affect the mentality of the players.

而且这个影响心态的情况,原本是百米选手100%暴击,200米选手50%暴击,但等到2025赛季初,一个新的消息将200米选手的50%暴击突然提升到了50%~100%暴击。

At the beginning of 2025, Clark, who was still in the winter training cycle, accepted an interview. In the interview, he said that this season, while maintaining the strengthening of the 200-meter individual event, he will also start a new journey of the [-]-meter sprint.

As soon as this news came out, it caused a huge discussion among the circle of U20 players and track and field fans.

Many track and field fans are wondering, thinking that Clark is deliberately trying to get closer to Su Qian, and think that this is not necessary, not every athlete is suitable for concurrent sports, especially Clark is a completely promising player, relatively speaking Su Qian has a great advantage in the 200-meter event.

Some professional track and field people have also heard that Clarke specialized in the 100-meter individual event under the suggestion of Joris. Because of this, many people think that Clarke is using his own shortcomings to attack others' strengths, which is completely unwise. way of doing.

Some media also specifically found Su Qian and asked him about Clark's 200-meter sprint. The interviewed media originally thought that Su Qian would also have objections, but the answer he received was completely unexpected.

Su Qian: "I know! I've been waiting for Clark to run 200 meters for a long time!"

Media reporter:?

Su Qian was also puzzled: "Clark was originally a part-time athlete. The reason why he specializes in 100 meters is that Joris thinks he should specialize in 100 meters temporarily, but it's not that Joris thinks that Clark is not suitable for 200 meters."

Media reporter:? ? ?

The reporter asked: "What do you think of Clark's talent in the 200-meter dash?"

Su Qian laughed this time: "Of course it's good! But in terms of 200-meter talent, I should be better!"

The reporter was silent for a while, it was difficult to refute this answer, and felt that the answer was the same as not saying it.

After all, in the current world track and field, in the 200-meter sprint event, it is really too difficult to find a player who surpasses Su Qian in terms of talent.

What Su Qian meant, Clark's 200-meter talent is very good, but slightly worse than him, but...how much is the gap?

Finally, after returning with the interview materials, the reporter hesitated all night and submitted a press release: "Su Qian bluntly stated that Clark was originally a 100-meter and 200-meter concurrent athlete, and his talent can be expected!" "

The spread of this interview is quite wide. After all, the interviewee is Su Qian, and Su Qian has always been nicknamed the "Great Prophet" among track and field fans. Many people are willing to read Su Qian's evaluation of Clark.

But after reading the report, more people are still skeptical. After all, according to Su Qian's tone, Clark's talent in the 200 meters should be absolutely not bad.

But is it possible?

Two top 100-meter and 200-meter talents suddenly appeared in the world of athletics?

Most people are more willing to believe that Su Qian only provided friendship compliments out of friendship with Clark—after all, through the interaction between Clark and Su Qian on Weibo and INS, track and field fans all over the world have already known this. The two are very good friends.

The skepticism persisted until Clarke competed in a professional-level 2025-meter sprint event in the United States for the first time in the 200 season.

When Clark won the championship with an absolute lead of 20 seconds, the U09 players all over the world once again shed tears of "wolf is coming".

I'm sorry, they shouldn't have doubted the authenticity of the interview answers of the great devil Su Qian... QAQ

The Youth Athletics Forum, whose headline had been replaced with a photo of Su Qian and Clark's double demon king, ushered in a new burst of crying after Clark's achievement came out.

【...We are still too young. We only thought that the double devil kings were just double devil kings in the 100-meter sprint, but we never thought that the double devil kings could become double devil kings in the 100-meter and 200-meter biathlon. 】

[The first 200-meter race!This is just Clark's first 200-meter race! ! ! 20 seconds 09! !Go directly to the current top ten results in the world this season?Are they still human! ! 】

【This result is much better than Su Qian's first 200m result...QAQ】

[?Friends upstairs, that’s not what they said. Clark is 19 years old this year. Su Qian ran the first 200 meters when he was 15 or 16, right? 】

[(Sorrowful smile.gif) Yes, 19 years old, participated in the 200-meter national professional track and field event for the first time, 20 seconds 09, the current top 10 results in the world this season...]

【Why is the world so cruel? It is not enough to have one big devil, Su Qian, but another big devil, Clark? 】

[(Smiling) Well, the only thing that can comfort us at the moment is that even if Clark runs 20 seconds, he is still far away from the Asian 09-meter sprint record and the Asian 200-meter U200 record. 】

[Learned, the angle of self-comfort upstairs is very subtle. 】

[…... Complicated emotions, well, it’s indeed a good way to comfort yourself, but my friend, have you thought about it, even if Clark is far away from Su Qian’s 200-meter record, it’s much closer than us... . 】

As soon as this reply came out, the crying post on this forum instantly entered the icy cold of winter, which increased the sadness score of the entire forum by a lot.

同年,克拉克凭借他的100米与200米短跑成绩,也同时成功获得了2025田径世锦赛的100米与200米短跑参赛资格。

It was also after Clark officially started his career as a part-timer that track and field fans all over the world discovered—oh, it turns out that a perverted (crossed out) genius like Su Qian is not an isolated case. His good friend Clark actually He is really a genius who does not lose to him and can even compete with him.

The US track and field fans who had been posting every day asking 'Is Clark naturalized on the US team today' got even more tired.

Is Clark a genius?

Yes.

Is Clark a 100-meter and 200-meter genius who can rival Su Qian?

Yes.

Is Clark naturalized on the US team?

No.

These two geniuses are both Asian, and they are called Asian sprint twin stars.

So does the United States currently have such geniuses?

Unfortunately, no yet. (tired smile.gif)

Today's American track and field fans are also very tired, and today's U20 sprinters around the world are also trembling slightly.

So has Clark Schrödinger's popularity risen today?

It finally went up today
