Born to Run

"Onyourmarks!"

The sound of the starter on the sidelines reminding the players to take their positions sounded.

Ye Qin stood on the third lane and looked up at the players in front. The men's 400-meter curve started, because of the number of stretches, the difference was several tens of meters.

The runners on the first track almost entered the corner at the end of the straight on the runway, and on the eighth track, they were already almost one-third of the corner.

The third place in the semi-finals gave Yeqin the arrangement of the third round of the final. It was a very good one. This round was able to grasp the position of other players, especially the two opponents he focused on at the end of the match. position.

On the track, he made two abdomen jumps gently, and Ye Qin slowly walked up to the starting line in the sound of the prompt, just like the other runners.

At this time, he felt that his state of mind was calmer than ever before, but at the same time, his body was like a pot of boiling water, gurgling and steaming, as if it would burst out anytime and anywhere.

It seems that the blood of the whole body, every cell in the body, is boiling and cheering.

The men's 400-meter race in the World Youth Championship is the highest level of competition he has ever participated in so far. He stood on this track.

Just as Nie Fangping on the sidelines looked at Ye Qin's consideration when standing in front of the starting line, Ye Qin knew what this game meant to him at this time.

Since last year’s City Games, the two masters and apprentices have talked about that issue. Later, they seemed to be able to ignore the same. But Ye Qin knew very well in his heart that this game was probably about deciding that he will be on domestic TV next month. Watching other people's games in front of the plane, there is still a chance to go to the Athens stadium and experience the opportunity of the world's top track and field stadium.

Slowly leaned down, spread the palms of both hands, the tiger's mouth facing outwards, and looked up at the front at the moment of bowing. The starting position of the curve only allowed him to see the billboards in the distance and the crowd in the stands above. . He adjusted his breathing lightly, lowered his head, and let his brain empty, waiting for the gunfire of the game to sound.

In the stadium, the noisy and noisy sounds seemed to abruptly stopped as soon as the players stepped onto the starting line.

Many spectators who were still chatting and cheering a while ago were all looking at the starting line of a bend dozens of meters long before and after. Everyone's movements seemed to pause at this moment, waiting.

"Set!"

The players on the eight tracks got up at the same time.

Snapped!

A crisp game gun sounded.

The game officially begins!

At the moment the gunshots sounded, the audience in the arena as if they had received the fixation technique seemed to be relieved of the spell all at once, and suddenly there was a burst of enthusiastic cheers.

The fourth Raun Merritt, at the moment the gunshot sounded, his powerful legs stepped on the running aids and began to accelerate quickly.

His talent in the 400m event is outstanding. Not only does he have a good ability to maintain the speed in the second half, he also has an explosive power that most 400m runners do not have in the first half.

The starting reaction is quick and the acceleration ability is strong. Although he did not participate in the men's 100m and men's 200m in this World Youth Championship, he has also won several times in the 100m and 200m competitions in Virginia High School. Third, there is a record of winning the 200 meters.

Only in the first 50-meter corner stage, Raun Merritt, with his outstanding explosive power, ran to the first position, followed by the fifth lane of Sudan's Abu Bakr Ali. , In the last round of the semi-final competition, both ran into 46 seconds.

Raun Merritt has maintained a high speed surpassing other runners from the start, giving the impression that the opponent does not seem to be running 400 meters, but instead is running 200 meters and 100 meters.

This is the rhythm of his 400m running at this stage. Starting from the start and accelerating, he gains the advantage in the first half with a strong speed in the first half. He runs with speed and impact. His rhythm is to raise the speed in the first half, and then finally compete with everyone in physical fitness and speed endurance.

In the semi-finals, with the exception of Abu Bakr Ali, who is now on the fifth track, all the other players in the whole group were beaten. One of the players even retired halfway through the race and was not confident to continue running.

Now, in the men's 400-meter final, Raun Merritt still runs this way, and compared to the semi-finals, his speed is faster and more fierce. It seems that he still has a lot of reservations in the previous semi-finals. .

The fifth Sultan's Abu Bakr Ali also discovered this point. In the men's 400m event of the World Youth Championship, he was vying for the gold medal, and he also has such strength.

In last year's World Youth Championship, he won the championship with an absolute strength of 46.10. In the subsequent World Championships, he was unfavorable and only ran a 46.78. He did not enter the next round of semi-finals and finals. But in last year's All-African Games and Asian-African Games, he created his best performance in the 400 meters, and therefore also got the Olympic tickets.

In this World Youth Championship, although he knew that his state was not as good as last year's All-African Games and Asian-African Games, he should not encounter too many challenges. He did not expect to encounter Raun Merritt of the US team in the semifinals. .

The opponent's speed in the first half is very fast, and it seems that he doesn't consider the physical fitness in the second half. At first, he accelerated the sprint with more than most players. If it is other players, Abu Bakr-Ali may think this is just a game. It is illusion that after running 200 meters, the opponent should have no physical strength and will not be able to run in the second half.

But this American player is not like this. The opponent's speed is very strong in the first half, and the speed in the second half is definitely not weak, at least not worse than him. It is impossible to think that the opponent will not have the physical speed to decline quickly after he arrives.

Therefore, starting from the rapid acceleration of Raun Merritt, Abu Bakr Ali also increased his speed, and did not dare to be thrown away by the opponent. He is the one who wants to fight for the gold medal. If Raun Merritt is thrown away in the first half, it will be difficult to catch up in the second half. It is very likely that the champion will miss him.

At the same time, on the sixth track, Botswana's Aubaken-Gwewa, the black athlete who entered a world-class competition for the first time, also showed an amazing speed after the start.

Abu Bakr Ali of the fifth pass was forced by Raun Merritt to increase his speed in the first half, while he was still very good at the sixth pass of Botswana's Aubaken-Gwewa to maintain the gap.

The explosive power and speed of the three black players in the first half are strong enough. Among them, Raun Merritt is the most. Abu Bakr Ali and Aubaken Gwewa are among the first half, and they show it by running together. Far surpassing the speed of other players.

Ye Qin looked up and saw the four, five, six, three-pass runners on the right side galloping. Almost instantly, he wanted to fully raise the speed and use 400 meters as 200 meters to run. As long as his absolute speed is raised, he is absolutely The speed is never slower than the other three.

The three black runners ran at least 200 meters and should not be his opponents.

But he abruptly resisted not raising his speed to the highest, but still chasing a few people according to the inherent rhythm.

He did not watch the first match between Raun Merritt and Abu Bakr Ali in the semifinals, but judging from the results of that group, and Nie Fangping's explanation before the game, he must stabilize his rhythm.

Once he was brought into chaos, he went out and ran to the advantage in the first half. With his current physical stamina, no matter how good his speed retention was, he would still be impulsive in the seventy or eighty meters of the final straight.

Fifty meters, eighty meters, one hundred meters...

The first corner was passed in a blink of an eye, and all the players entered the straight phase.

"Stay steady, steady!"

At this time, not only Nie Fangping stood up on the sidelines, but Zhou Bin also stood up at some point. He could clearly hear what Nie Fangping said in his mouth, and he couldn't help but shout out his psychological thoughts just like Nie Fangping.

Although watching the four, five, six and three racers on the track are running wildly faster than the other players, he also wanted to call Ye Qin to rush to overtake the opponent, but reason told him that at this time, what Ye Qin needs is. Hold steady, steady the rhythm.

He has watched Yeqin's many games, and he is very clear about Yeqin's technical characteristics. Yeqin has always used his force in the second half of the 400m run. As long as the front is steady, there will be opportunities behind.

The cheering and cheering from the sidelines were higher than the waves. Ye Qin shook his arms quickly, keeping his most standard movements in training every step of the way, running forward at a steady speed and pace.

The second corner has already arrived, and the eighth and seventh runners running on the side, relying on the advantage of the number of advances, have already taken the lead in the corner stage.

Soon it was a player in other passes.

The fourth lane Merritt was almost on par with the fifth lane Abu Bakr Ali. In the first half of the race, Raun Merritt was fast, and he was in good condition. At the 200-meter position, he almost completely caught up. Going to the fifth lane player who led the gap in the number of advances, and close to the sixth lane of Botswana's Aubaken-Gwewa.

Yeqin was on the third lane. Seeing the gap between himself and Raun Merritt widened, he felt tremendous pressure. The two hundred meters have passed, and the opponent's speed is still very fast, the kind that leads in front. It feels a bit like he participated in the World Junior Championships last year and Abu Bakr-Ali's crushing victory.

"Stay steady, don't be taken away from the rhythm!"

The body is running fast, Ye Qin can feel that his body can still sprint, but he still endures the hint of himself again and again.

Raun Merritt's lead is obvious, but Abu Bakr Ali did not lead himself like last year's World Championship. At this time, you must not be led by others.

Straight into the curve.

High-speed running and centripetal force, all the players have a slight tilt angle.

Ye Qin controlled his speed and rhythm. As he ran forward on the corners, his slow speed began to rise.

Two hundred and fifty meters...

A critical point in the 400-meter race.

After the high speed of 250 meters ahead, even if the speed of the players can be maintained at this time, it is difficult to rush again, and this is his opportunity.

His training time on the 400 meters is not particularly long, but after Nie Fangping corrects a little bit of detail on the track skills, the technique is very good, and even has an advantage compared to his knowing stage.

At this time, his position among all the players is sixth. The first three are the top players in the four, five, six and three passes, and the three are the first group.

Behind is the second line of Russia's Valentin Kruyalakoff, the first line of Turkey's Sedar Tamak and Yechin, the three are the second group.

Yechin, Valentin Kruyarakov and Sedar Tamak were at the back of the three when entering the corner, but after entering the corner, as Yechin’s force exerted, they gradually followed Got two people.

Two hundred and eighty and ninety meters, two hundred and ninety meters, three hundred meters...

The player on the second corner is about to end, and the corner enters the straight!

In the final straight stage, Raun Merritt took the lead and ran into the straight with a large lead, behind him Abu Bakr Ali on the fifth and Aubaken Gwewa on the sixth. The two followed closely behind by more than one meter.

Behind is Russia's Valentin Kruyarakov and Turkey's Sedar Tamak.

Yeqin fell to sixth.

The cheering drum noise on the sidelines became more intense, everyone's eyes were focused on the first Laun Merritt, his lead is very obvious, everyone is waiting for him to cross the finish line with absolute advantage.

And at this moment, after entering the last 80 meters of the straight, a red figure suddenly attracted the attention of the audience who had been attracted by Lawn Merritt.

The third way, Ye Qin, entered the sprint acceleration link that he is best at.

Eighty meters, seventy meters, sixty meters...

Ye Qin bit his lips tightly at speed, and the physical energy accumulated in the front 300 meters exploded at full speed at this time. Everyone seemed to be dazzled, and after getting the red figure, he surpassed the first Turkey. Player Sedar Tamak, followed by the second Russian Valentin Kruyalakoff.

Ye Qin felt that his lungs were about to explode. He ran 400 meters for so long. Except for the first time, this was the second time he ran so hard and so hard since training and competition.

In the front 300 meters, he controlled the rhythm again, but this was the final, and his speed was still inevitably taken a lot faster by other players.

At this stage, he had already started desperately.

The Turkish and Russian players on the first and second lanes were fast and had a good tempo, but at this stage they were basically unable to rush at all. After entering the straight, they were overtaken by Yeqin without running a few tens of meters.

Fifty meters, forty meters, thirty meters...

Yeqin could see Raun Merritt getting closer and closer to the finish line, but at this time he didn't want to think about those, he just wanted to use his greatest strength to rush to the finish line.

Twenty meters...

Abu Bakr-Ali clenched his steel teeth and Raun Merritt was getting closer and closer to the finish line in front. He knew that he might not be able to catch up, but he still did not dare to relax. Sprint towards the finish line.

More than 300 meters ahead of him had to follow Raun Merritt's crazy rhythm. At this moment, he also felt that he had entered the most difficult moment.

Raun Merritt has ran far and it is difficult to catch up again, but the Botswana player Aubaken Gwewa next to him followed him closely. The two of them have been indifferent from the start to the final dozens. Meters, there is still not much difference.

At this moment, with a cry to the ground, Ron Merritt felt something wrong around him.

Subconsciously, he felt someone chasing him up, and a red figure flicked past the corner of his eye, overtaking it.

Ten meters...

The finish line is already in sight!

Cross the line!

As soon as Ye Qin crossed the finish line, he felt that his whole body was emptied. He stumbled through the buffer for more than ten meters and lay down directly on the runway.

Panting like a cow, the lungs are burning with fire, and the soreness and exhaustion of the body's muscles are flowing like a tide. After a trip, looking at the dark night sky that the stadium lights can't find, my mind is blank.

I don't have the mind to see the results, and I don't want to move, just on the ground, chest and abdomen undulate like a bellows.

The forehead, cheeks, body, sweat seemed to burst out all of a sudden.

45 seconds 25!

On the timing card, Raun Merritt, who crossed the finish line first, has already come out.

He knelt down on the track and pointed his finger to the sky. This was his best performance. He won the men's 400m championship in this World Youth Championship.

At this time, Zhou Bin had already jumped up on the sidelines. Although Ye Qin failed to win the championship, Ye Qin won the silver medal. He was the second to cross the finish line ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ in the men's sprint field, alive. In the youth competition, Yeqin created the best results of Asian players in this competition.

Nie Fangping beside him was biting his lips tightly, without saying a word, his hands were clenched into fists, his expression was unprecedentedly tense, his eyes fixed on the big screen at the scene.

He is waiting for Yeqin's results.

Dozens of seconds or one minute...

The results on the big screen at the scene finally began to appear, the first to appear was the championship result, Raun Merritt.

Then the numbers jumped, and the second place result appeared in the field of vision of the audience.

The third track, Ye Qin, China, scored 45 seconds 88 and reacted 0.189 seconds;

Almost immediately after the results came out, Nie Fangping, who looked stiff, suddenly showed ecstasy on his face.

"It has reached the standard. Yeqin has reached the B standard for men's 400 meters in the Olympic Games!"
