Born to Run

Chapter Three Hundred and Forty

"It is estimated that the men's 4×100m competition will be fierce. In my opinion, Guangxi Province is likely to win the championship again. Gong Wei and Pang Guibin are in very good condition."

Leaving the stands of the Olympic Sports Center, there is still about half an hour before the men’s 400-meter final. Ye Qin followed Chen Zhongzhou back to the indoor warm-up area. Chen Zhongzhou recalled the game that had just ended and analyzed with interest. The winner of the 4×100m relay event after the start belongs.

Although the 400-meter final is about to begin, both Chen Zhongzhou and Ye Qin have a relaxed mentality, or else they will not take time to watch the 100-meter final before the 400-meter race. .

"That's not necessarily." Ye Qin began to perform simple muscle stretching in the warm-up zone. Hearing Chen Zhongzhou's words, he suddenly said, "Shenghai team is also very strong, Yang Yao and Liu Yangyu are both strong. If you participate in relay events, you might be able to win."

"That's also true. In addition, the strength of Guangdong Province is not weak." Chen Zhongzhou nodded. Although Gui Province's 4×100 meters has the first and third positions in the 100 meters, the Shenghai team has a strong lineup. Not weaker than each other, Liu Yangyu and Yang Yao need not say that Zhou Wei, the current national record holder of the men's 100 meters, is also in the Shenghai team.

Guangdong Province is a traditional province of track and field, especially in men's sprinting. In the past few years, many talents have been produced. For example, Chen Jian before and Wen Yongyi, who has emerged this year, are quite strong.

"Ye Qin, if you also participate in the 4×100m relay this time, then it will be worth seeing." Chen Zhongzhou said with a smile comparing the strength of several relay teams.

"It's useless for me to go." Ye Qin smiled. The overall sprinting strength of Haixi Province is slightly weaker. However, in this National Games, there are at least two sprinters who are currently considered to be relatively outstanding. One is Guo Fan, one is the rookie Zhang Jiehua, if he really wants to add his own, it may be acceptable on the whole.

However, the 4×100m relay race is still a test of technology and tacit understanding. Several people have never cooperated before, and it is very difficult to really want to win against others.

Ye Qin did not take Chen Zhongzhou’s 4×100m relay race at heart. Although in track and field sports, the first and most influential event is the men’s 100m event, and the second person is the 4×100m relay event. , But there is no right time, and there is no need to think about what to try.

At 21 o'clock in the evening, the men's 400m final officially began.

Although the influence of events like the 400m is far less than that of the men's 100m, the emergence of some top athletes, or sports stars, can drive the popularity of some unpopular events.

For example, Liu Yangyu drove the domestic men's 110-meter hurdles project. Before him, perhaps many people had no idea about this project, and it was possible even if they hadn't heard of it. But after the Athens Olympics, it became familiar to the people of the whole country overnight.

Ye Qin's main event, men's 400 meters, is not as popular as the men's 100 meters, but in all track and field events, it is definitely in the front row.

And now the appearance of a world-class athlete like him has greatly aroused the enthusiasm of the audience.

Among the eight 400-meter contestants in the finals, three were from Guangdong Province. Among them was Ye Qin and Tan Zhongbiao, who played against each other in the City Games two years ago. At that time, the opponent won the City Games in 46.19 seconds. Will be champions.

When Ye Qin saw Tan Zhongbiao, the first thought that came up in his heart was to defeat the opponent.

Two years have passed. Although everyone is still standing on a track at this time, they are no longer a level player at all, and their status and performance in the track are even more heaven and earth.

But when Ye Qin saw Tan Zhongbiao again in his heart, he would still think of his defeat in the City Games. His performance at that time was far from today. It was normal to lose to Tan Zhongbiao, and now he has grown to a level. New heights, but the heart will still remember the scene of losing to Tan Zhongbiao and Liang Chao.

He himself didn't know when he started to have such a strange mentality, that is, when he lost to the athletes in the growth stage, he has always had the idea of ​​wanting to win back.

It's the same with Youssé Bot, it's the same with Andrew Howe, and it's the same with Jax Tring.

He had lost to these people before. At that time, he was too weak and had to accept defeat.

The experience of failure will be engraved in the depths of my heart once, maybe I didn't pay attention to it, but in fact these things have been there all the time, and they are constantly forcing him to move forward.

And now he has the strength, standing on a field again, he wants to win back!

"Each in place--

The starter's voice sounded on the field.

The boiling noise of the Olympic Sports Center Stadium gradually diminished, and many people responded with great expectations and enthusiasm for Yeqin on the fourth lane.

"King of All-Stop Speed", "Asian Forrest", "World Trapeze", "King of 200 Meters", and "Red Lightning" began to be ridiculed by the media, or they were passed from the Japanese media. The title, gradually some titles have fallen on Yeqin's body and have a tendency to ferment.

They all watched Yechin’s game, although it was only the 400-meter final, even though Yechin’s performance on 400 meters was not up to world-class, and compared to his 200 meters, his ranking in the IAAF was even worse. One piece.

But as long as it is Yeqin, as long as it is this person, everyone feels that it is worth buying a ticket.

Sometimes the emotions of Chinese people are actually very simple. When there is an influential person in the world that makes him proud and proud, they are willing to cheer for him, pay for tickets, and appreciate the shortness. But tens of seconds of the game.

Snapped!

A crisp game gunshot sounded.

Before the 400-meter starting line, eight runners rushed out of the track at the same time.

Ye Qin's team is much more serious than the preliminaries. After all, it is the final. Although he doesn't think in his heart that there will be athletes that will really threaten him, the competition is just a competition. Before the line, it is impossible to be careless.

The first corner is 100 meters, and everyone can see that on the track, Yeqin's speed is slightly faster than other players. But it's not too much. After all, in the men's 400-meter race, the first 100-meter speed is not a full sprint after the athletes start accelerating. It is not particularly fast.

But soon, the corner entered the straight, and when it was the second 100 meters, many spectators on the scene couldn't help but exclaimed. Even if there is a difference in the number of stretches before the start, many people can already see it clearly. It is clear that Yeqin's leading advantage is getting bigger and bigger. On the straights, Yeqin has already passed the position of the fourth lane and surpassed the fifth lane player next to him.

When entering the second corner, the cheers of the audience became more and more enthusiastic. Even many ordinary spectators who did not know much about the men's 400m race saw Yechin's obvious lead. In the second corner stage, Yeqin had already surpassed the six or seven or eight pass players on the outer lane, and ran to the first position first, and sprinted quickly towards the final straight.

"... Yeqin's lead is very obvious. It really is the absolute strength. On the court, we can clearly see that Yeqin is the only one, ran to the first position without any suspense, and turned into the straight! Yeqin started to sprint , He and other players have opened a distance of three or four meters, and are still expanding this advantage..."

The voice of Mu Jiang’s track and field commentary on CCTV5 sounded again. The National Games itself was broadcast to a national audience. Many spectators who could not be there to watch the game also saw Ye Qin in the men’s 400 on TV tonight. Amazing scene of performance on the rice.

From the start, he almost didn’t encounter any challenges from his opponents. He kept his advantage from start to finish. In the final eighty to ninety-meter straight phase, Yeqin accelerated even more quickly, and the entire stadium seemed to become His performance alone.

The many spectators who watched the game squatting in front of the TV can really feel Ye Qin's top strength that far surpasses the domestic players and can compete with the world's top 400m players.

Fifty meters, forty meters, thirty meters...

Ye Qin is getting closer and closer to the finish line. The 400-meter runners from Guangdong province behind him are considered to be quite good, but they are completely willing to catch up and fail to narrow the gap. Instead, they are getting bigger and bigger.

Cross the line!

Ye Qin's voice quickly crossed the finish line, and the audience cheered loudly at the same time.

44 seconds 95!

Yechin once again ran into the men's 400-meter arena for 45 seconds, leading all the other spectators behind by a very conspicuous advantage. In such a stadium, for other 400-meter athletes, it is almost desperate. But for the audience watching the game, they were so excited.

Chinese athletes finally appeared with such a powerful and dominant player, and they are super-class players who can compete with the world's top players.

After crossing the finish line, Ye Qin waved to the audience on both sides with a smile on his face. Although the opponent's strength is not particularly strong, in this group of matches, Ye Qin can be regarded as basically playing his full level.

Under the premise that the level of the competition and the strength of competitors cannot reach the same level, the result of 44.95 is basically the same for Yeqin.

In addition to him, the second runner-up in the men's 400m final ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is Wang Liangyu of Guangdong Province with a score of 46.15. The third place was Wang Xu of the Yanjing team, with a score of 46.44. As for Tan Zhongbiao, the young athlete Ye Qin wanted to win when he saw it again. This time the opponent ranked fourth with a score of 46.66. Compared to other previous City Games performances, they were all inferior.

In the 400-meter domestic arena, the mainstream performance at this time is around 46 seconds. Compared with Yechin’s 44.95 time when he won the men’s 400-meter final, the other 400-meter runners are completely at the same level as him.

"...The king of the 400 meters, Yeqin is already the well-deserved king of the 400 meters in China and Asia. We can see from the performance in the National Games that Yeqin still seems to have enough energy, probably only to the high level of the international arena The excitement of the athletes can make him run better... Yeqin is now the men's 200m champion. I hope he can once again win a gold medal in a world-class major event in the 400m, and in the future at Yeqin's age I have at least eight to ten years to ride on the track. I am looking forward to it. We are all looking forward to Yechin being able to build his own dynasty in sprinting like Michael Johnson!"

After watching Yeqin win the men's 400m championship, Mu Jiang passionately spoke to the audience in front of the TV with exciting words. This is an unprecedented athlete in the history of Chinese sprinting. He is extremely talented and broke. The records are one after another. How far we can go in the future, in fact, everyone has great expectations and hopes.

Amidst the cheers of the audience, the men’s 400-meter final is one step higher here, and the next men’s 200-meter three-shot preliminaries semi-finals and finals will attract more people to the Olympic Sports Center to witness Ye Qin's performance on the field.
