Born to Run

On May 5, 2007, when Ye Chin arrived at the Nagai Stadium in Japan, he found many familiar faces in the stadium.

"There are more contestants this year than in previous years!" Ye Qin looked at the many contestants in the indoor warm-up area and couldn't help feeling. The past few times to Japan to participate in the Osaka Grand Prix, basically all belonged to Japan. The players are round, and there are not many players from various countries.

"Of course, there will be a World Championship this year. Many players are probably coming to Japan for the first time." Chen Zhongzhou followed Ye Qin and replied with a smile, "Like our Shenghai Grand Prix this year and some of the next year's Shenghai Grand Prix. In other competitions, it is estimated that a lot of international players will come, in order to be able to adapt and understand before the big competition."

The Osaka Grand Prix is ​​one of the 14 IAAF Grand Prix competitions that is relatively high in the new year. There have been not too many top players in the competition. In many track and field events, many are dominated by Japanese athletes.

However, at the Osaka Grand Prix on May 5 this year, it was uncharacteristically. Compared with previous years, the top international players who attracted the grand prize came to participate.

One of the most important reasons is that the 11th IAAF World Championships will be held from August 24 to September 2 this year. Many players who were unwilling to compete in Osaka, Japan because of time and travel in the past, will do so this year. I signed up for the Osaka Grand Prix in Japan and wanted to adapt to the local venue and environment in advance.

The same goes for China. There will be the Olympics next year. From this year to next year’s Olympics, as long as there are some international competitions, they will attract the attention and attention of many people. Experienced players will create conditions to arrive in advance and feel the local environment.

"Brother Chen, when you say this, it suddenly makes me feel that the Olympics is approaching."

After listening to Chen Zhongzhou's words, Ye Qin calculated the time, and suddenly seemed to realize that it seemed that there was still a long time for the Olympic Games, and there was only one year and two or three months.

"It's not far!" Chen Zhongzhou nodded afterwards.

Time sometimes feels the passing of one minute after another, which seems to be quite slow. But when I calculate it carefully, I feel very fast.

The construction of the Bird's Nest has been completed, and the many facilities for the Olympic Games in Yanjing have reached the final stage, and the sports atmosphere of the Olympic Games in the country has become stronger and stronger.

"Don't think about that. It's like finishing this Osaka Grand Prix and this year's World Championships. This is the top priority." Looking at Ye Qin, it seemed that he was thinking deeply, and Chen Zhongzhou waved his hand, not ready. Continue this topic.

Athletes like Ye Qin and Liu Yangyu who have been pinned by the people of the whole country are now beginning to be observed with a magnifying glass in every move, and various invisible pressures are gradually appearing.

"Yeah." Ye Qin nodded, but didn't think further. The time of the Yanjing Olympics has always been there, but it was only a momentary moment that I suddenly realized that it seems that the time for this may be the most important competition in my life is about to come, and the sense of urgency and crisis is somehow. It came to my heart.

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.

Standing in this position, there are some things that he is not completely able to control, but Ye Qin's heart is not fear, but feeling the urgency to improve his performance.

This year's Osaka Grand Prix Yechin participated in two events, men's 100 meters and men's 200 meters.

The time of the two games is one at 14:35 in the afternoon and the other at 14:50. They are the first two events to be held in the Osaka Grand Prix today.

Time is relatively tight, but the first men's 100m event is ahead, and there is about ten minutes of adjustment and rest after the run, which is not particularly stressful.

The men’s 100-meter race was divided into two groups. The first group is dominated by Japanese players. Among the eight players, apart from six Japanese players, there is only one Australian player Joshua Keys and American player Rodney. Martin.

Ye Qin is in the second group. Although there are still a few local Japanese athletes participating, most of them are 100-meter athletes from other countries. However, in terms of the overall lineup, this 100-meter competition did not attract Too many top celebrities. The projects with more top international masters are mainly concentrated in the 400 meters and some men's and women's field races and long-distance running events.

400m world champion Jimmy Warner and star Darrod Williamson, etc., all appeared on the field. But this time the Japanese Grand Prix, Ye Qin did not participate in the men's 400 meters event.

After the start of the race, the first group of men's 100 meters champion was won by the Japanese star Shingo Suetsue. The result was 10.23 seconds. American star Rodney Martin was cancelled because of the first shot. This strong American player was already disqualified before the start of the game.

Ye Qin's second group did not encounter too many challenges. Among his players in this group, although there are two American players, Michael Mitchell and Ernest Wiggins, the overall strength of the two is not particularly strong. The best results are in 10 seconds 10. Between -10 seconds and 20 seconds, the Grand Prix at the beginning of the season played very ordinary.

The final result of the race was that Yechin won the men's 100m championship at the Osaka Grand Prix in Japan with a time of 10.05.

Yeqin did not encounter a particularly strong challenge in the 100-meter race, but in the 200-meter race, the overall strength of the players he faced was much higher.

The two main opponents are American Rodney Martin, who just failed to continue the race in the 100-meter race, and the other is American veteran Joshua Johnson.

Rodney Martin’s personal best in the 200m event last year was 20.14. Although he has not yet reached the 20-second mark, it is already a comparison of strength on a stage like the Grand Prix~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Strong opponent.

Veteran Joshua Johnson was the world's top sprinter at his personal peak. In the peak era from 2001 to 2002, not only did he ran his best time of 9 seconds 95 in the 100 meters, he also ran his personal best time of 19.88 seconds in the 200 meters.

However, this level of players really poses little threat to Yechin at this time, and the Osaka Grand Prix is ​​the first match of the season at the beginning of the year. Most of the players are in the stage of recovery.

Need to adjust through game after game, and gradually reach the highest.

After the game started, even though Joshua Johnson showed good strength, Yechin still won the championship with a crushing advantage. The result was 20.20. Joshua Johnson and Rodney Martin both The results were 20.55 and 20.56, ranking second and third respectively.

In the two races of the Japanese Grand Prix, Ye Qin did not run particularly hard. After running these two races, Ye Qin regretted coming to Osaka this time and signed up for the men's 100 meters and 200 meters. The overall level of the players is not high, making him unable to play at all levels in both games.

Especially when the men's 400m score came out, Jimmy Warner set the record for the 400m in the Osaka Grand Prix with a time of 44.02. Yechin was particularly sorry for not being able to participate in the 400m event.

Although the Osaka Grand Prix in Japan has influxed many international players, there are not many top-notch players. After all, at this point in time, many players are still in the stage of running the Grand Prix as a warm-up race.

However, Yeqin will soon usher in his game in the United States, where there is already a large number of top players waiting for him at this time.
