Born to Run

"...Yeqin, when you run the fourth club, you must grasp Yang Yao's pace, and then fully add up the speed. Gu Kai, when you handover Wen Yongyi's one or two clubs, don't be oily. To be agile, the second shot is long, and the result of being pulled away basically starts from here..."

On December 12, the last day of the Asian Games track and field competition, Ye Qin, Yang Yao, Gu Kai, Wen Yongyi and others appeared in the Asian Games Village’s track and field stadium early in the morning in the Asian Games Village.

Yuan Guohua is explaining the precautions to the people who are going to participate in the final tonight. This afternoon at 17:00 is the men's 4×100m relay final. Although everyone has been familiar with and trained a lot, this is about to start before the final. Several people still appeared on the training ground, and finally got acquainted with them again.

The basic distance for everyone standing on the runway is about thirty to fifty meters. You don’t need to let go to run completely. The key is to calculate the steps and wait for the teammates behind them to start accelerating immediately. Mainly for the smoothness of the transfer baton, this immediate assault did not expect to achieve any special effects at once, but because Yeqin replaced Pang Guibing on the field, Gu Kai switched to the second baton, and the sequence of the baton transfer was changed.

On the runway, starting from Wen Yongyi, then to Gu Kai, then to Yang Yao, and finally, when Ye Qin saw Yang Yao’s figure approaching, he suddenly started to accelerate and then stretched out his left hand backwards. Yang Yao handed it over to him smoothly, and the entire process went through smoothly.

"Remember, when you hand over the baton, you must be straightforward. Don't worry about dropping the baton. Don't think too much. It's just a momentary thing and it's done all at once."

Yuan Guohua looked at the people who had finished running a few groups, and once again said the skills in the process of handing over the baton.

Yuan Guohua has always had great expectations for this men’s 4×100m relay team. The most critical factor in front of us now is the lack of training and cooperation with each other. However, in this Asian Games, if the first three clubs can show their strength normally Yuan Guohua is still very confident with Ye Qin's finale in the fourth round.

In Yuan Guohua’s opinion, Yeqin’s mid-way running ability and sprinting ability are the top. There are only a few sprinters in the world who can have Yeqin’s level. After Yeqin is fully activated, it can turn back a lot. Disadvantage.

Of course, the prerequisite for all this is the smooth transfer of the first three bars without losing too much speed.

The arrangement has been arranged, and Yuan Guohua will not continue to say anything. At the stadium, Ye Qin, Wen Yongyi, Gu Kai, and Yang Yao have practiced together for a while. Everyone is familiar and has participated in the competition together. Opponents have also been teammates, and they still have a certain understanding of each other, and they won't have any points in cooperation.

16:50 pm local time in Doha and 21:50 pm Beijing time.

At this time, CCTV5’s broadcast of the track and field events of the Asian Games has reached the last few events. Except for the men’s 4×100m relay that will start immediately, only the women’s 1500m final and the men’s 5000m will be held later. The final and the men's and women's 4×400m relay finals.

Affected by the huge waves caused by Yechin's track and field sprint in the Asian Games, tonight's men's 4×100m relay final also attracted many domestic audiences to watch in front of the TV.

There is a five-hour time difference between Doha and China, which just makes it possible for many domestic spectators to watch the game at this time at home without having to stay up all night.

When the screen on the TV was switched to the lively Khalifa International Stadium, the familiar track and field commentator Mu Jiang’s voice came out: "...The men’s 4×100m relay final will begin immediately. Erdao Hong Kong, China, China, Japan, Japan, Thailand, Cartel, Cartel, Chinese Taipei, Oman...

Chinese sprinter Ye Qin, after completing three gold medals in men's 100 meters, 200 meters and 400 meters in this Asian Games, will serve as the fourth bar of the Chinese team in the final. This relay team is also the Chinese team's experience. The strongest team in the 4×100m event...

Now the players are measuring their steps. In the 4×100m relay event, the players all need to measure the position where their teammates arrive, and then their starting position, so that they can achieve perfection in the game without wasting speed and time……"

Many track and field fans who squatted in front of the TV to watch this 4×100m relay race had a detailed understanding of every member of this 4×100m relay team before Mu Jiang started introducing them. Netizens have also posted some popular science materials.

The first bar, Wen Yongyi, the domestic men's 60-meter record holder, his personal best time in 100 meters is 10.28 seconds;

Second, Gu Kai, Izmir Universiade men’s 100 meters champion, personal best of 10.27 seconds;

In the third bat, Yang Yao, the best time of 100 meters is 21.21 seconds, the best time of 200 meters is 20 seconds 54;

As for Ye Qin, who is the fourth team, there is no need to say at this time. The 4×100m relay team of this combination is already the strongest team of the Chinese team in recent years. The best score of the three players is 10 in 100 meters. Within 30 seconds, while Yeqin is within 10 seconds. In terms of overall strength, at this time, basically only the Japanese team is in the middle of the Chinese team.

"...Okay, spectators and friends, the game is about to begin! The top players of each team are already on the starting line..."

With the sound of Mu Jiang’s voice from the on-site track and field commentary, the Caliph International Stadium has entered a very dignified stage. The noise of the audience is much smaller at this moment. It seems that they are afraid that the shouting and gasping are too loud, which will affect it. The athletes in the arena.

Ye Qin stood on the fourth bar, which was already a 400-meter standard track, and the last corner into the straight. He couldn't help feeling a little nervous at the moment when the gunfire sounded.

This is a 4×100-meter relay event, the only two collective events in track and field events. He has long been accustomed to fighting alone. No matter what kind of opponent he faces, he will not feel pressure.

It's just a relay race, where many players are crowded here, waiting for his teammates to come up with the baton. He is still a little uncomfortable.

The ability of a single person to fight alone naturally plays a big role in the 4×100m relay event, but it is not decisive. No matter what, a good teammate is required to cooperate to win the final championship.

In the Khalifa International Stadium, after the gunshots rang out, the entire arena has boiled like never before.

In the sprint race, the men's 100 meters is the crown and the jewel, but in just ten seconds, the emotions of the audience are too late to express, and the race has almost been over.

In the men’s 4×100m relay race, you can not only see the absolute speed showdown, but also the cooperation between the players. Fans of various countries cheer for the relay team of their motherland frantically, and the handover is one by one. The speed of the electric motor is unparalleled, and the visual enjoyment is unparalleled.

"...At the beginning of the game, Wen Yongyi started very quickly, fully demonstrating his ability to start quickly. Wen Yongyi withstood it. That's it. The handover of one and two batons was perfect. Gu Kai received the baton smoothly and is fast. Go ahead, come on for the Chinese team! Go Go Go!... The second and third baton handover, Go Go! Yang Yao! Yang Yao received the baton, he is very fast in the corner, and is approaching Japan's third hit, Asahara Shoji ……Immediately, it will be the handover of three or four sticks......"

In the live commentary stands, Mu Jiang's voice was completely muted, his eyes fixed on the arena, and he constantly conveyed the form he saw to the audience.

Due to the distance and angle, Ye Qin couldn't see the scene of the first two and two and three batons being handed over clearly, but Mu Jiang saw it very clearly.

Similar to the preliminaries, Wen Yongyi had a good speed at the first club, but he was a little slower than the Japanese player's first club Naoki Tsukahara, and was faster than the Thailand team's first club Saiksan Wangara. Come on some soon.

However, after the handover of the first and second gangs, Gu Kai was surpassed by the Thai team's second bat. At the same time, the second bat of the Japanese team who completed the handover was Suetsue Shingo, the current Japanese sprinter's strongest athlete.

After the end of the second bar, the Japanese team relied on the personal ability of Suetsu Shingo to pursue the Thailand team who used baton transfer techniques to grab time, but after the second and third batting, the Thai team took the lead again. The Japanese team was in second place, and the Chinese team was in fourth place. At this time, the Chinese Taipei team was able to catch up to third place with a better handover technique than the Chinese team.

The third team in Thailand is Eka Kashje Janata, an experienced veteran who participated in the 4×100m competition in the 1996 Olympic Games.

The Japanese team is Nobuharu Asahara, 5 times the national 100-meter champion in Japan, and his personal best time of 100 meters is 10 seconds 02. Although he is already 33 years old at this time, his personal state is still very good.

The third bat of the Chinese team was Yang Yao. Facing the lead of Thailand, Japan and Chinese Taipei, Yang Yao rushed to catch up. His acceleration in the start was a weakness, but in the relay project, he was already in the handover area. It started to accelerate very smoothly, and the speed is increasing to the highest.

Ye Qin was in the third lane of the fourth bar, and watching the eight players rushing over frantically, at that moment he could feel the impact of the absolute speed of the players.

Staring at Yang Yao's feet, Ye Qin counted Yang Yao's position step by step. When Yang Yao reached his calculated step, he suddenly turned his head and began to accelerate in the relay area.

One step, two steps, three steps...

When Ye Qin ran five or six steps, he heard a roaring voice behind him.

"Take it!"

At the moment when he heard this sound, Ye Qin quickly stretched out his right hand backwards. In an instant, he felt the baton fall on his palm.

Without hesitation, Ye Qin firmly grasped the baton, suddenly raised his head, looked at the runway ahead, and his speed began to increase to the extreme.

At this time, the players in front of him are Sichai Savor Pretip, the fourth stick of the Thai team. Although the 100-meter level is only about 10 seconds and 47, this Thai athlete has already ran more than two meters by this time. Far, and is still accelerating forward rapidly.

The other is the fourth stick of the Japanese team, Shinji Takahira. This Japanese athlete is also good at speed. He finished fourth in the men's 200m final with a score of 20.81. He is equally good in personal ability. At this time Shinji Takahira is slightly behind the Thailand team by two more positions and is chasing quickly.

The Chinese Taipei team, which was already third on the runway after the second and third baton handover, relied on Yang Yao's personal cornering ability in the third baton. Baton.

By this time, Ye Chin had no idea at all. His only goal was to catch up with the Thai and Japanese players in front and win the championship.

In the sprint competition, at the beginning stage, people have been ahead of two or three meters. It can be said that many people feel that they may not be able to catch up. After all, they are all professional athletes. Even if there is a gap between their performances, they want to catch up at the finish line. There is still a lot of difficulty.

But Ye Qin didn't think about the problem that he might not be able to catch up. He was too accustomed and too used to catch up with all his competitors before the finish line.

Seventy meters, sixty meters, fifty meters...

The Chinese delegation in the stands, whether it was the leader coach, athletes or ordinary spectators, felt that the whole game had entered a different rhythm at the moment when Ye Chin got the baton.

Folded his hands into horns, shouting loudly from the sidelines.

At this moment, a red figure was rushing forward like lightning... It was almost in the sight of the audience and the audience in front of countless TV sets. The naked eye could see Ye Qin chasing up from behind.

A distance of two meters, a distance of one meter, a distance of half a meter, one position, half a position...

With about forty meters away from the finish line, Ye Chin caught up with the Japanese player Shinshi Koping... At thirty-five meters, Ye Chin surpassed Shinshi Koping...

Thirty meters from the finish line, Yechin had already caught up with Sichai Savoy Pretip, the fourth best of the Thai team, and then passed the opponent like a gust of wind and sprinted directly towards the finish line.

At this moment, whether it was Sichai Savoy Pretip, the fourth best player of the Thai team, or Shinji Takahiro, the fourth best player of the Japanese team, almost all of them couldn't recover.

However, the finish line is already ahead, and Shinshi Takahiro is still a little away from Sichai Savoy Pretip. He is grasping the last tens of meters and chasing desperately.

In front of the two, at this time, Ye Qin only left the finish line!

Cross the line!

The whole audience cheered, and countless Chinese audiences squatting in front of the TV jumped up.

However, the Chinese team won the Asian Games gold medal in the men's 4x100m relay again after a lapse of 16 years in the 1990 Yanjing Asian Games.

Standing in the middle of the stadium, Ye Qin watched the applause around him, especially at the corner of the Chinese delegation. The five-star red flag flickered, and Yang Yao, Gu Kai, and Wen Yongyi behind him quickly rushed over, excited again. Jump and jump.

At this time, Ye Qin showed a completely relaxed smile.

For him, the Doha Asian Games is now over. Although I don’t know if I will participate in the next Asian Games, I won four gold medals in one Asian Games and won three records. Such a feat will engrave the history of the Asian Games anyway.

In addition, the entire season of 2006 is now completely over. It will be 2007 soon, and the new year is about to begin!

"I won the championship, and I will be a champion in the future! We are all champions!"

Ye Qin looked at the smiling teammates around him and said silently to himself in the bottom of his heart.
