Born to Run

In the blink of an eye, it has reached September, and Inchon, South Korea, has gradually attracted the attention of a large number of Asian audiences.

The 16th Asian Athletics Championships officially started in Incheon, South Korea. The Asian Athletics Championships is a comprehensive track and field competition organized by the Asian Athletics Federation on Asian continent countries.

It started in 1973 and is now the sixteenth. The Asian Athletics Championships will last from September 1st to September 4th, with a total of 536 athletes from 35 countries participating.

Ye Qin still participates in the men's 200 meters and men's 400 meters, but compared to the World Championships, the competition intensity of the Asian Championships is much lower.

He only ran two shots in the men's 400m event. September 1 was the preliminaries and September 2 was the final. In the men's 200m event, it was a three-shot final. September 3 was the preliminaries and semi-finals, and September 4 was the final.

In fact, the schedule is relatively close, but there is no rolling competition, and the overall level of Asian players is much weaker than that in the world. The pressure on Ye Qin is not too great.

In the past, many Chinese track and field athletes participated in the one-to-two-hundred-meter race in Asian sprint events, but it was true that few people came to participate in the 400-meter race.

Especially in the men’s 400m race this time, the track team has not sent any other athletes to participate in the race except Ye Qin. It is not that domestic athletes can not find anyone to compete in the 400m race in Asia. The main event will be next month. The influence of the National Games, athletes who have some ideas at this time have reservations about the game, hoping to gain something in the National Games.

The 2005 Asian Championship was also the first time for Yechin to participate in the Asian Championship. If he changed to the previous one, Yechin might be more excited about the competition here, but now he can handle it calmly in the face of this level of competition.

Especially after the World Championships, he has accumulated experience with top sprinters, and at the same time, he has also become the world's top sprinter. To a certain extent, it is the other players who really feel the pressure.

Before the start of the Asian Championships, the Japanese star Shingo Suezsu congratulated Yechin on his achievements in the World Championships and looked forward to playing against Yechin again in the Asian Championships. In terms of personal best results, the two are actually not much different, and both have the best men's 200m record in Asia. This has also become one of the highlights of this Asian Championship.

At this time, the Japanese media called Yechin the "Michael Johnson" of Asia. In the men's 200m and men's 400m, he is almost the most dominant player in Asia.

At 15:00 on September 1st, Incheon Munhak Stadium, the audience was full of noisy and lively.

When Yeqin appeared on the runway of the men's 400m preliminaries, it had become a well-deserved focus of the audience and aroused cheers from many people.

The Shinco men's 200m world champion, the first Asian world champion in sprinting, and the Asian record holder. Many titles are indeed the men of the recent period.

There are nearly 50,000 seats in the stands of Incheon Munhak Stadium, which has almost 90% attendance. Although South Korea’s track and field level is relatively low compared to Asia and the world, it is also popular in terms of sportsmanship. It is criticized, but the people's enthusiasm and support for major events in the country are quite high.

In the first round of the 400m preliminaries, Yechin easily got the first place in the group with a time of 46.10 seconds and qualified for the 400m finals the next day.

In the 400m final on the second day, Yeqin easily won the men's 400m gold medal in the Asian Championships with a time of 45.02 seconds without any threats from opponents. The runner-up was won by Japanese player Yuzo Kinmaru with a time of 46.04. The third place was Stranka's Prasana with a time of 46.48.

In this final, the audience in the stands could see that Ye Chin won very easily, and he surpassed the other players by a large margin, showing a world-class level.

After completing the men's 400-meter final, Ye Chin did not leave the arena, but still waited in the stands for the last Asian game, the men's 100-meter final.

The men's 100-meter race is also a three-shot tiebreaker. In terms of time, because the four-day schedule is relatively close, there is a lot of overlap with the 200-meter race.

Standing in the stands with Yeqin was Yu Weili. Yeqin’s coach, Randy Hunter, did not follow this time. The opponent’s center has recently been placed on the long jump team, and the team leader has participated in the Asian Championships. The match is Yu Weili, the deputy head coach.

"Look at the final finals, I want you and Yang Yao to run 100 meters." Yu Weili looked at the eight contestants who participated in the men's 100 meters and couldn't help but patted Ye Qin on the shoulder. He said with emotion, "Ye Qin, why don't you think about it, come and run 100 meters in the future, the influence of the 100 meters is great."

In this Asian Championships, the Chinese team participated in the men’s 100 meters. There were a total of two players, Guo Fan and Liu Dapeng, both of whom were eliminated in the semifinals. The final results were not very good, both in ten seconds and sixty seconds. about.

This result came out to tell the truth, which made Yu Weili quite dissatisfied. On the one hand, several strong domestic 100m athletes did not participate in the Asian Championships. On the other hand, it was also dissatisfaction with the weak men's sprint level of the track and field team.

"Guide Yu, do you also know?" Ye Qin couldn't help turning his head and glanced at the other person when he heard Yu Weili's question.

"What do you know?" Yu Weili was stunned for a moment, then as if thinking of something, he asked: "You won Liu Yangyu and Yang Yao in the 100 meters?"

"Yeah." Ye Qin nodded. Ever since they ran a 100-meter test with Liu Yangyu and Yang Yao in Zurich, after returning to China, he found that many coaches were tentatively asking Ye Qin to consider running. The situation of 100 meters appears.

"I didn't think about it before." Yu Weili smiled and shook his head. "If you hadn't started with 400 meters, you might have better results in the 100 meters. Before the Athens Olympics last year, I thought You were definitely fast, but you started too slowly in the first half."

"My master also said before, but if I don't practice 400 meters, it may not be easy for me to get ahead so quickly."

Ye Qin remembered that he had discussed this with Nie Fangping before. He first practiced 400 meters. On the one hand, his speed and endurance was good, and 400 meters was more handy. Another reason was the domestic situation at that time. In terms of 400 meters, Ye Qin is much easier to get ahead.

There are many athletes practicing the one-to-two hundred meters in China, and the competition is fierce. If Ye Chin chooses the one-hundred-meter event at the beginning, it probably won't be a big deal until he reaches the master class. Even now, with his 100-meter level, he cannot be said to be top-notch in China. The 400 meters in the main event and the 200 meters in the secondary event led him to quickly emerge in domestic and foreign competitions.

Especially for the 200-meter project, his ability in the second half of the journey combined with the top-level absolute speed ability has reached the world's top level in one leap.

"That's right." Yu Weili nodded, "If you practice 100, you may not have such outstanding performance in the World Junior Championships and the World Youth Championships to make the track team notice you, especially last year's Olympics, maybe you will take it. With less than two qualifications, it is impossible for the team to hire a top coach like Randy Hunter for you. It is considered normal progress. If you want to get ahead, it will take at least two or three years."

After all, there are many people practicing in the 100-meter event. When it was changed to 2004, Ye Qin might not be able to qualify for the AB standard of the Olympic Games. The scores of 10 seconds 5 and 10 seconds 6 were not absent from the national team. In other words, it is impossible for Yeqin to be so eye-catching. And if you practice 100, Ye Qin's 200 meters may be good, but it may not be able to reach the current level. According to Yu Weili's estimation, it is probably better than Yang Yao. It is not easy to say whether it can break the national record.

"However, I think you should think about it now. After all, the 100-meter influence is even greater. Of course, you don’t have to give up the 400-meter project, it’s just..."

Yu Weili paused after speaking, "Your speed ability is probably the one that has the best chance of breaking the national 100-meter record at present, and it may also be the most promising to break the 10-second mark. This is the dream of those of us track and field people. I always hope to see it sooner."

"I know." Ye Qin nodded. The 100 meters and ten seconds mark is still a very distant concept at this time, and the national record still holds a score of 10.16 seconds. It’s impossible to say that Yechin has been working by several coaches in succession these days. It’s impossible for them to not move. The biggest reason why people like Jax Trin and Morris Green are called World Trapeze is not because of each other. The run is 100 meters.

After thinking for a while, Ye Qin said to Yu Weili, "Guiding Yu, let me think about it again. I usually do 400 and 200 mainly ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but they are all sprint events. If the competition is suitable, I can consider taking part in it."

"Okay." Yu Weili showed a smile on his face. "They are all sprint events. Generally speaking, they are not very influential. The main one is that you can keep up with strength in addition to endurance training."

As the two talked, the men's 100-meter final of the Asian Championships had already begun.

The top three results in the final 100 meters were 10.39, 10.42 and 10.45 respectively. Ye Chin's heart is complicated and unspeakable.

In the men's 200m race that started on September 3, Yechin completed the preliminaries and semi-finals with 20.90 and 20.78, and successfully advanced to the final with the group's first result.

Although many players including the Japanese star Shingo Suezuki said before the game, they will go all out in the final to challenge the Shinke men's 200m world championship.

But the fact is that the men's 200m final has basically become one of the least suspenseful competitions in this world championship. The final result is that Yechin won the men's 200m championship with a time of 20.13 seconds.

The runner-up and third runner-up were Saudi Arabia's sprinter Hamil Bihi and Japanese player Shingo Suetsue with 20.66 and 20.68 respectively. In addition, Yang Yao, who also participated in the men's 200 meters, did not perform well in the competition. The final result was 20.75 seconds, ranking fourth.

At this point, the current Asian Championships has come to an end. Ye Qin successfully won two championships for the Chinese track and field team with a sweeping posture. In addition, Liu Yangyu also easily won the men's 110m hurdles championship with a time of 13.30. .

For Ye Qin and Liu Yangyu in the next year, a competition that is more important than the National Games, the IAAF Golden Grand Prix at Shenghai Station, is about to begin.
