Chapter 321: Men's 400m Finals of the Fifth World Championships (Part 2)

Ten meters... thirty meters... fifty meters...

On the field, the eight players were all raising their speed as fast as possible after the gunshots sounded. The top 400-meter sprinters will have a pace during the race, suppressing a little bit of the running speed on the way, and retaining their physical strength to the final stage of the run.

However, even if there is a pace, the first priority is to increase the speed, even if it is not 100% of the maximum speed, but at least 95% or more.

A runner who can run 400 meters has a certain ability to maintain the speed in the second half. If you really fall behind too much in the first half, it is impractical to rely solely on the speed of the second half to catch up.

The running method that Ye Qin used before can win when he encounters a player who is not very strong, but in the international arena, he encounters a player with excellent speed and endurance, and then wants to catch up with others in the second half. People are very difficult.

A few months after returning to China from the New York Grand Prix, he made a lot of adjustments to his pace and rhythm. Therefore, in the first half of the race, his starting speed and mid-run speed are both still low. Not bad.

At a distance of fifty meters, Yeqin can already roughly judge that he and Jimmy Warner are about the same speed, and there is no gap between the two at this stage.

This is also a normal phenomenon. In the 400-meter race, most of the speeds before the first 100 meters are not too different from each other, and the real start to exert force is still behind.

Sixty meters... Eighty meters... One hundred meters...

In a blink of an eye, the first corner goes straight!

Ye Qin's speed is good. After entering the straight, he can roughly judge that his position in the team this time basically has no obvious disadvantages. Moreover, his speed was maintained very well, and he began to exert strength gradually.

In the previous 400m races, he basically started and accelerated slowly in the first half, but now after adjusting, what he has to do in the first corner is not to be thrown away by others.

When it comes to the stage of knowing, you can start to accelerate and gradually surpass others.

Among the seven contestants in the same group, Ye Chin knows very well that those who can win the men's 200m championship are absolutely not bad in speed. Many of them can't even make the finals.

But to win the final 400 meters, speed alone is not enough, but also the ability to maintain speed.

One hundred and fifty meters, one hundred and seventy meters... One hundred and ninety meters...

In the straight stage, Ye Qin gradually showed his personal speed ability, and began to approach Jimmy Warner step by step.

As an Olympic champion, Jimmy Warner's speed ability alone is not particularly strong, but his ability to maintain a constant speed of more than two hundred meters in front of him is very good, basically being able to maintain a high speed and run in front.

Feeling Yechin's gradual progress, after all, Jimmy Warner didn't suddenly start to slow down, and he still ran very steadily.

At the same time, on the other side, Taylor Christopher in the fourth lane also maintained a very good speed. Yeqin and Jimmy Warner did not directly surpass him in the relative distance about two hundred meters ahead.

Only Andrew Luke of the seventh lane, the American player Yechin had played against once, ran very unrestrainedly. Although it was on the seventh lane, it was already at the stage before the straight was finished. Chris Brown, a Bahamian player who caught up to the eighth track, did not skimp on physical strength.

Straight into the corner!

Yeqin entered the corner at a distance slightly slower than Jimmy Warner's two positions. In the relative position, Yeqin knew that he should have surpassed Jimmy Warner by this time.

His current running method does not have a special suppression speed in the first half. With his 200-meter speed ability in the second half, it is normal for Jimmy Warner to surpass the third track at this stage.

Two hundred and twenty meters, two hundred and thirty meters, two hundred and fifty meters...

Two hundred and fifty meters. Suddenly, Ye Chin only felt that Jimmy Warner beside him suddenly began to accelerate. When most 400-meter athletes ran to 250 meters and began to enter a more difficult stage, Jimmy Warner went the other way. But the line immediately began to accelerate forward.

Ye Qin also knows such technical characteristics, and he also ran like this before. Although he is no longer so aggressive after adjusting his rhythm, the details are still similar. Jimmy Warner’s best 250-meter acceleration, Warner Time, is the most important technical feature of the opponent’s 400-meter victory.

But right after Jimmy Warner started sprinting, Ye Chin suddenly felt that his breathing became a little thicker, his feet became heavy, and he couldn't keep up. It was completely different from the 400 meters he used to run.

"I can't run a bit!"

Ye Qin's heart is like a mirror. After running for a few days in a row, especially after yesterday's 200m final, one day was too late to restore him to his best condition. Moreover, the difficulty and physical consumption of running 400 meters and running 200 meters are not the same.

This is a situation of lack of physical strength. He also appeared when he first started to practice sports and did not know how to run 400 meters. But in official competitions, such situations are still rare. During the World Junior Championships and the World Youth Championships, he did not feel so difficult because of the technical characteristics and the level of the players.

But after one game after another, Ye Qin's willpower has been exercised strong enough, even if he feels a little tired, he won't really stop.

This is the arena of the men's 400m final of the World Athletics Championships!

Gritting his teeth, Ye Qin desperately squeezed the slightest stamina hidden in his body, desperately chasing Jimmy Warner in front.

Turn into the straight!

The cheers of the audience gradually became enthusiastic!

Jimmy Warner was the first to rush into the straight and ran to the forefront, and he was still further widening the gap with other players, and his absolute strength was revealed at this moment.

It was followed by another American player Andrew Luke, followed by Canadian player Taylor Christopher and first British player Timothy Benjamin.

"...Jimmy Warner ran to the first position, he was sprinting towards the finish line... Yeqin was a little weak and fell behind..."

Many spectators squatting in front of the TV to watch the 400-meter final, Ye Qin's speed suddenly dropped after seeing the second corner, and many people couldn't help but become anxious in their hearts.

Mu Jiang is also the same at this moment, but he knows better that this situation is really normal. However, in such weather, Ye Qin has ran so many games one after another, and his age and physical reserves can reach this level. There are already a few commendables.

In the final straight stage, the positions of all the players are still clear at a glance. Yechin, who is leading the 100-200 meters in front, has fallen to the back of the team at this time, compared to the second-to-last fifth American player Darrod-William. Sen is two positions behind.

At this time, Ye Qin also felt more and more exhausted. His chest and abdomen were burning with fire, and his breathing was short of breath. Every step he took seemed to be extremely heavy, and he seemed to be running forward entirely by inertia.

Everyone can tell that Ye Qin's physical fitness is not enough, and his speed can't keep up at all.

"Speed ​​up! Speed ​​up! Speed ​​up!"

But Ye Qin screamed in his heart, his teeth clenched and his eyes widened. Suddenly, a little bit of strength came out from nowhere, and the speed was really fast.

This is his long-term 400-meter training to enter the final stage of sprint training, and his body instinctively gives him strength.

Seventy meters... Sixty meters... Fifty meters...

Mu Jiang's voice suddenly exclaimed: "...Yepchin, Yeqin is accelerating! This is the final distance sprint he is best at. Come on, Yeqin! Come on, Yeqin!"

In the field of vision of the audience and the many viewers in front of the TV, Yeqin, who was already behind the last, suddenly speeded up again.

Seventy meters, eighth!

Fifty meters, seventh!

Thirty meters, sixth!

The audience shouted loudly. Many of them had seen Yechin's performance in the men's 200m final yesterday. At this moment, they all seemed to want to see a miracle happen again.

Twenty meters...

Ten meters...

Ye Qin has already rushed to the last position and rushed to fifth place, but it is too late to go further!

Cross the line!

At the moment when he crossed the finish line, Ye Qin almost trot a few steps, and his whole body was soft to the ground!

His chest and abdomen quickly rose and fell, and his eyes were faintly black, and he didn't want to stand up at all.

The other players around him had better symptoms than him, but there were also many people who squatted or sat on the track almost at the same time.

In the men's 400-meter final of the World Championships, each contestant played to the greatest extent. This is also the reason why Ye Chin is not slow in front of him, but he feels extremely difficult to run.

43 seconds 93!

On the yellow time card at the scene, Jimmy Warner, who was the first to cross the finish line, created a new personal best after winning the Olympic champion in 44 seconds last year! It was also the result of this men's 400m champion at the World Championships, 43.93 seconds!
