Born to Run

"Onyourmarks!"

In front of the men's 200-meter runway at Icahn Stadium, a white starter wearing a baseball cap shouted the commands to the players.

Standing far away on the third track, Ye Qin turned his head slightly to glance at the crowds on the sidelines, let out a sigh of relief, and strode to the front of the running aid.

It is not easy to win this game. Compared with the Eugene station, the players participating in this station are generally young athletes. In terms of personal PB, Yeqin does not appear too inferior.

In Eugene, he was the last one in terms of personal PB, but in that game, he played very well and won the men's 400m champion in Eugene.

But the men’s 200 meters race in New York is different. Ye Chin’s current personal best in the men’s 200 meters is 20.39 in the final of last year’s Olympic Games. Compared with many players present, it is not the bottom. One.

But when it comes to competition on the court, it's completely different. Young athletes at this point in time, according to the annual track and field season, many young athletes are in better shape than many veterans at this point in time.

It's not that veterans who have reached their age are not good at this time, but many young athletes have participated in much more competitions than many veterans since the second and third months of the new year.

Various indoor competitions, championships, regional sports meets, etc., young athletes want to participate in high-level competitions, they need to produce good enough results in this time period. Every competition needs to constantly squeeze out one's own potential in order to obtain the opportunity to participate in higher-level events.

The established veterans are relatively less concerned about low-level events, and they can be directly invited by various competitions.

If there were no years without the World Championships and Olympic Games, even many athletes would just start to warm up moderately at this time, mentioning their rankings and points.

Ye Qin understands that in the track and field, even the top athletes cannot always keep themselves in the best condition, regardless of the various major competitions and small competitions to win.

Even if it is better than Michael Johnson, there are times to be humiliated.

After the 1997 Atlanta Olympics, the most beautiful Michael Johnson and 100-meter champion Donovan Bailey, under the influence of the sports tycoons, once had a global live broadcast of the 150-meter duel.

Appearance fees, Michael Johnson and Donovan Bailey are each $500,000, and if they win, they will get another $1 million.

The race track is the first 75-meter curve and the back 75-meter straight.

Each of the two participating in the competition was under great pressure, like boxing, close to hand-to-hand combat.

After the start of the game, Pele, who was on the inside track, quickly surpassed Johnson on the outside track and gradually took the lead, but Johnson stopped, clutching his legs and abandoned the game, and simply didn't even want second place.

In the end, Bailey hit the line alone with 14.99 seconds, and he finally turned his head and glanced at Johnson. After the game, he unceremoniously sprayed: "Johnson was not injured at all, he is a weak chicken, afraid of losing. I really want to have another game so I can kick his **** again."

At the press conference after the game, Johnson remained silent on the question of injury, and he even refused to respond to Bailey's insults.

Whether Michael Johnson really retired due to injury in that game is unknown to outsiders, but Johnson did not participate in the National World Championships trials that year because of a strained left quadriceps.

Fortunately, the IAAF formulated a new policy just before that: the previous champion automatically got the "wild card" of this year. In this way, Johnson was able to go to the Athens World Championships after healed and once again won the men's 400m gold medal.

In that World Championships, Pele missed the gold medal-the new generation of American flying man Green began to rise. He not only won the three World Championships in 1997, 1999 and 2001, but also broke the men's 100m world record in 1999. , It just happened to refresh Bailey's record, Green ran 9.79 seconds.

Therefore, in track and field, athletes' injuries, physical conditions, and psychological factors are all absolute factors that affect performance.

Before the start of the game, Yeqin felt that he was in good condition. After warming up through the three domestic indoor competitions this year, and then to the national track and field franchise competition and the two grand prix, his physical condition seems to be constantly changing as the weather gets warmer. Go up.

But in the same way, in this game, Youssé Bot, Walter Dix, Wallace Spielmont and others are basically similar to his trajectory. Even if there is a gap between them, the gap is very small. .

But the more so, the stronger Yechin wants to win.

The taste of the championship is so wonderful. He has rarely been able to win the championship after embarking on an international competition, and this year's two Grand Prix championships have once again ignited the flame in his heart.

Must win!

There are many reasons, revenge on Youssé Bot, not let the coach down, let the Americans know him... But in the end, there is only one simple, that is, he wants to win.

As long as it is a competition, as long as I stand on the starting line, I want to win!

I will try my best to win!

On the sidelines, the noise and noise in the stands gradually weakened, and everyone began to hold their breath.

Ye Qin habitually lifted his legs left and right before the starting line, slowly leaned over, squatted, bowed his head, and made preparations for the start.

The two starting referees checked all the players before and after each pass and kept their bodies still, and then signaled to the starter on the sidelines that they were ready.

"SET!"

The starter's prepared voice sounded.

Ye Qin changed from squatting to a squatting starting position, and the movements were completed in one go and he was extremely skilled.

Snapped!

Shot!

All the runners on the eight tracks moved almost at the same time, and the slight gap in the starting reaction was almost indistinguishable in human eyes.

Yeqin put his feet on the pedal almost at the same time, and then he strode out quickly, accelerating forward.

He is on the third pass. This pass is very good compared to his pass at Eugene, and the corner start is also familiar to him. The sound of the gunshot, the brain hardly needs too much. Give instructions and the body will move naturally.

One step, two steps, three steps, quickly began to speed up and rush out.

In the men's 200-meter race, the starting requirement is lower than that of the men's 100-meter race, but compared to the 400-meter race, it still needs to have enough speed to impact.

There is no pace, and some just increase their speed to the highest possible speed, and then rush all the way.

Ten meters, twenty meters, thirty meters...

Ye Qin feels that his starting reaction is good. After a winter training session and his own deliberate starting training, his current starting reaction can basically be controlled within 0.2 seconds, and it can even reach about 0.15 seconds when it is good~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ In the 200m project, this is already a relatively good level.

But during the acceleration phase, Yeqin could still feel a strong pressure.

The American player Walter Dix, who was in the fourth lane ahead of him, also started very fast, and it was only 30 meters away. The gap between the two sides due to the number of advances did not close at all. In this season, Walter Dix's 100-meter level has been able to reach 10.06 seconds. The acceleration of just a few tens of meters has made Yechin feel a gap.

Behind him, he could feel the second Trinidad and Tobago player Mark Burns also catching up quickly, and Mark Burns' 100m time also reached about 10 seconds 20. Level.

Although Yeqin's starting reaction and starting acceleration have improved, he is still slightly weaker when encountering athletes of this level.

However, there is only a short distance of more than 30 meters, and when there is a number of advances in the corner, the pressure brought by such a powerful opponent is more of Ye Qin's subjective feeling. Unless it is a slow-motion playback or testing the speed of each stage after the game, the audience at this time can't see it.
