Born to Run

The 2004 Athens Olympic Games passed the standards. The track and field events were approved by the IAAF in November 2002. Except for the marathon, all other track and field events must reach the standards from January 1, 2003 to August 9, 2004. Marathon Participated from September 1, 2002 to August 9, 2004.

Except for relay races, all results need to be obtained in the IAAF or its commissioned events, as well as in regional federations or national membership organizations. The university or school events must be approved by the national association before they can be recognized.

The Olympic men's 400 meters A mark time is 45.55 seconds, and the B mark time is 45.95 seconds.

And just now, Ye Qin ran 45.88 seconds, reaching the Olympic B standard entry standard. It was also the best result of a Chinese athlete in the men's 400 meters from 2003 to 2004.

The national men's 400m record was 45.25 seconds set by Xu Zhiyu in the 2001 East Asian Games. The opponent is the holder of the national men's 400m record, but his personal condition is best from 1999 to 2001, during which there were several big races entering 46. Seconds, but since 2003, personal injury status has declined, and the results in the 400-meter event are both around 46 and 47 seconds.

This means that Yeqin is currently the only athlete in China who has reached the men's 400-meter B mark of the Olympic Games. Not surprisingly, Yeqin has already got this ticket to the Athens Olympics.

Ye Qin lay on the ground and didn’t lie down for too long. A staff member of a competition nearby handed him a bottle of water. He struggled to stand up and took a sip, and then saw the results on the big screen. Also secretly excited.

He has always kept in mind the achievement of the Olympics. Nie Fangping and himself did not deliberately think about this year's competition, but at this moment, he can't help but feel a little excited when he sees the results come out.

He had the opportunity to participate in the Olympics, the world's top stadium.

but……

"Merritt!"

"Merritt!"

Someone in the stands shouted a name.

The mixture of Italian and other dialects makes people unclear, but gradually Yechin can still hear clearly.

Many people are calling the name of the champion.

Especially a small number of American audiences in the stands, waving the Stars and Stripes, jumping and jumping, extremely excited!

Ye Qin's eyes noticed the black youth who was wearing blue sportswear and was welcoming the crowd cheering on the field at this moment. After a 400-meter race was over, the opponent seemed to have enough energy to accept cheers and many reporters on the sidelines. Photo.

"The road is still far away!"

Ye Qin took a few deep breaths, calmed down the breath that gradually eased, and watched the other side being surrounded by the crowd. The situation at this time was so similar to the World Junior Championships a year ago.

After the 400-meter race was over, Sudanese Abu Bakr Ali and Yousse Bot were cheered and applauded at the stadium. He still remembered the scene where the reporter interviewed and photographed.

In one year, he made a lot of progress. He defeated Abu Bakr-Ali. Last year he was able to get a big shot, and the player who had a lead of more than one second finally defeated the opponent in this game. .

Abu Bakr Ali’s 400m final score was 45.97 seconds, which was almost the same as Botswana’s Aubaken-Gwewa, but only slightly won in milliseconds. The two were beaten in the final ten meters. Qin catches up.

For a moment, Ye Qin really wanted to roar, but this kind of joy was quickly replaced by a new opponent.

He has a new challenge goal.

Raun Merritt, the strength of this American athlete is amazing. He just ran the 400 meters in 45.25 seconds, and his absolute strength is still a lot stronger than him. 45.25 seconds, the national 400-meter record is no more than this, and this result broke the world's young men's 400-meter record.

"...So if you want to improve further, go to a larger circle, and you will improve even more."

Ye Qin is now more able to understand the meaning of this sentence. He is happy for his progress. He has passed the peak that almost made him lose confidence last year. But before he was too happy, he saw the emergence of new mountains. in front. After climbing a peak, I can once again see a new peak standing in front of him.

This is competitive sports!

Only when you push yourself to a limit, you will surpass yourself!

This group of 400 meters is the limit that Ye Qin ran at this time, and he almost fell as soon as he finished. Even after lying down for a while, I felt my legs are soft and my hands are soft, my whole body aches and there is no strength after standing up.

Ye Qin got up at the moment, and he felt that his legs were a little weak, and his whole body seemed to be limp and weak.

But the more so, Yechin suddenly felt a strong sense of anticipation in his heart, and how many top players there will be at the Olympic Games in Athens next month.

He wants to compete with such a strong opponent, constantly see his progress, and then defeat them.

When I surpassed one peak after another, will one day become the highest one myself? !

...

Before leaving the field, Yechin and the other players, everyone went forward to congratulate Raun Merritt.

Raun Merritt broke the world youth record in the 400-meter final, but he did not have a chance to play in the Olympics next month. Instead, it was Sudan’s Abu Bakr Ali, who ran out of the Olympics in the airport competition last year. Those who reach the standard will compete as a Sudanese national team player after participating in the World Youth Championship.

"Coach Nie, congratulations! Ye Qin really improved too fast!" Watching the men's 400-meter final in the field come to an end, Zhou Bin sighed sincerely.

In just over a year, from Nie Fangping showing Yeqin on the track and field field of the Tianguan Center to the current World Youth Championship, he almost watched Yeqin's continuous improvement step by step.

Now, this boy has actually reached the B mark of the Olympics and has gotten a ticket to participate in the Olympics.

This had to make him sigh.

He also learned about the situation of the track and field team in the Athens Olympics this year. Chen Jian participated in the men's 100 meters and Yang Yao participated in the men's 200 meters. In the 400 meters, the domestic athletes did not meet the standards and no one could compete.

Zhou Bin didn’t even think that Yeqin was able to run up to the standard. In last year’s City Games, Yeqin’s performance was still different from the Olympic standard~www.wuxiaspot.com~ He hoped more. Let Ye Qin participate in the World Youth Championship.

However, this kid really ran up to the standard in the World Youth Championships before the Olympics.

Zhou Bin can imagine how happy several leaders would be if this news were passed back to the national team.

At Yeqin's age, with the experience of participating in the Olympics, what will happen in four years' time, Zhou Bin feels that he has not dared to think about it.

At this moment, Nie Fangping seemed to have not heard Zhou Bin's words. A round face was flushed, and his lips moved slightly, "It is up to the standard. Yeqin can participate in the Olympics and can enter the national team. Haha, I brought it out, Nie Fangping. An athlete who can participate in the Olympics, hahaha..."

"Coach Nie, Coach Nie..."

Zhou Bin shouted several times before realizing something was wrong. He could hear Nie Fangping's heavy breathing. As soon as he stretched out his hand to pat Nie Fangping's shoulder, he suddenly felt that the other party was softened like cotton.

Zhou Bin was shocked, and quickly used his hands and feet to support Nie Fangping.
