Born to Run

? "Liu Yangyu!"

"Liu Yangyu!"

"Liu! Liu..."

Ye Qin followed Liu Yangyu and the others as soon as he got out of the bus, he heard the shouts swarming around. There were many Chinese and overseas students, as well as many foreigners with high noses and deep eyes or dark skin.

Many people held small national flags, or Liu Yangyu's posters, plastic banners, etc., constantly swaying at the gate of the stadium, with extraordinary enthusiasm.

"Hey! Liu Yangyu's popularity in Lausanne is really not what it should be!"

Chen Zhongzhou watched many people shouting at Liu Yangyu, standing beside Ye Qin and couldn't help but sigh.

He had seen Liu Yangyu's popularity in China, but he didn't expect that he could still see this scene in Lausanne, Switzerland abroad.

"Why!" Liu Yangyu waved at the crowd first, then smiled a little shyly, looked at Ye Qin and said, "There are many people named Ye Qin too!"

"It can't be compared with you." Ye Qin was carrying his luggage and looking at the Pontaisé Olympic Stadium in front of him. He smiled and said, "This is the first time I have come to Lausanne to participate in the competition. ."

The time has come to July 9th. After the end of the Golden League in Paris, everyone set off for Lausanne, Switzerland yesterday, and began to adapt to the venue.

The official start of the Lausanne Super Grand Prix is ​​tomorrow July 10th. This year Ye Qin and Liu Yangyu came to the venue for adaptive training, but they did not expect that so many people have gathered outside the stadium.

"Then when you finish this year, many people will have to call your name next year."

Standing in the front, Liu Yangyu replied with a smile, whether the sprint event is 100 meters, 200 meters or 400 meters, it is undoubtedly more influential than the men's 110 meter hurdles. Ye Qin has already proven himself in the international arena, the Asian record in three events, breaking the 100m 10 seconds mark, and the 200m World Championships, this result is eye-catching enough.

Yeqin's international influence is no longer lower than that of him, and it is often much higher because of the benefits of popular projects. But Yeqin lacked the two most important achievements, the Olympic champion and the world record.

Many boring netizens in China also post on the Internet, saying that Ye Qin and Liu Yangyu are currently highly popular. Although neither of them cares, the subconscious sense of competition among athletes will still unconsciously think of this.

"It's that easy, unless I can break the world record." Ye Qin shook his head, knowing this very clearly.

Liu Yangyu started participating in the Super Grand Prix in Lausanne in 2003. At that time, he won the third place with a time of 13.17. After that, he missed one year in 2004 due to the Olympic schedule. In 2005, he was the champion of the Lausanne Super Grand Prix. In 2006, he broke the men's 110-meter hurdles world record in the Lausanne Super Grand Prix. The outstanding performance in the Lausanne Super Grand Prix for several years can be said to be Liu Yangyu's great blessing.

On a global scale, there have always been cities, or stadiums in the strict sense, which are favored by track and field athletes, and they are also the best performers in these venues.

Among them, Hayward Stadium in the Eugene Grand Prix in the United States, Panathenaic Stadium in the Athens Grand Prix in Greece, Bislet Stadium in Oslo, Norway, etc., these venues have emerged a large number of world records and annual best results. Very suitable for players to play.

In addition, there are cities such as Osaka in Japan and Stuttgart in Germany, which are cities with a very strong track and field atmosphere, and are also venues where many track and field athletes are happy to participate in competitions.

Before joining the IAAF World Tour, the Lausanne Super Grand Prix was called the Asletisima Athletics Championship. As of 2007, the Asletisima Athletics Championship has produced three track and field world records, the first one. It was the American player Roy Burrell’s world record of 9.93 meters in the men’s 100 meters created by American player Roy Burrell in 1994. The second was the 4.93 meters women’s pole vault world record created by Russian pole vault queen Isinbayeva in 2005. The last one, This is the men's 110m hurdles world record of 12.88 seconds set by Liu Yangyu in Lausanne last year.

In addition to the three world records, the various track and field events in the Pontaisé Olympic Stadium in the Lausanne Super Grand Prix are also ranked in the forefront of the world rankings.

In addition, Lausanne is unusual compared to other cities with a strong track and field atmosphere in that this city is a real sports city. Since 1994, due to the presence of the Olympic Committee, it has been called the Olympic Capital. In addition, the International Court of Arbitration for Sports and more than 55 individual sports associations are here.

On the other side, just as Yeqin and Liu Yangyu got off the bus and walked towards the Punta Isse Olympic Stadium, there were already many players from all over the world in the stadium who started training on the runway in twos and threes.

"Yuse, I found that your recent training has been a lot harder. Even if those guys called you to the nightclub, you didn't go."

In a corner of the stadium, the short and squat Jamaican gold medal coach Glenn Mills looked at his lover who had ran back and forth on the track five or six times to adapt to the field, and his eyes showed a bit of doubt.

The tall young man in front of him has been under his hands for almost three years. In the past three years, I can’t say that the training is not working hard, but the look that wants to be strong from the inside out almost anytime and anywhere, before. Never had it.

"I want to win, coach!" Youssé Bot took a few long breaths with his hands on his knees, and then took the water and towel from Glen Mills, "Although many people are there. Say that I have succeeded in international track and field at my age, but there are people who do better than me."

"You mean Yechin of China?" Glenn Mills looked at Yousse Bot and asked in a deep voice.

Youssé Bot raised his head and glanced at the track and field in the distance, but did not answer the question. Instead, he continued, "Coach, it will be the World Championships soon. I don’t know if I can win them at the Osaka World Championships. The Olympics will be the Olympics in 2004. I failed at the Olympics in 2004, and I don’t want to experience another failure."

Glenn Mills was slightly stunned, and then smiled with relief on his face, "Yuse, I have been waiting for you to say this. I have never doubted your talent and ability. I have always believed that you will To be the greatest athlete on the planet, it’s time for you to prove yourself.”

Glenn Mills has always been very clear that looking at the entire international track, there are only one or two players at the age of Youssé Bot who can match him. The youngest 200-meter World Youth Championship has created one after another. A great achievement for an age group. That kind of unparalleled talent is something Glenn Mills has never seen before.

It’s just that the disciple’s attitude towards training has not been particularly enthusiastic. Although he has a strong desire to compete on the field, this strong competitive spirit has not completely transformed into his motivation to become stronger. power.

But now, Youssé Bot is clearly ideologically mature. He has seen top athletes smashing the field one after another, and some of his peers have surpassed him to win the championship.

He is no longer satisfied with being overwhelmed in the game, he wants to be the winner, he wants to be the champion.

"Thank you, coach!" Youssé Bot looked at the chunky old black man in front of him, the solemn color on his face disappeared, and he grinned, "Then you don't let me continue to practice 400 meters. , We have something to say first, I am going to participate in the 100-meter race."

Glenn Mills shook his head, a little helpless with the bargaining of Youssé Bot, but in his heart he has actually agreed with Youssé Bot's men's 100 meters.

Earlier this year, both he and Yousei Bot's agent wanted Youssei Bot to take the 400 meters. After all, a man's 200 meters can handle with Youssei Bot's current ability. ~www. wuxiaspot.com ~ 400 meters for men, who can follow the path of Michael Johnson and become the second real "Forrest Gump" on the track and field.

It's just that in 2003 and 2004, because of the over-training of 400 meters, Youssé Bot had a mentality of rebellion. Compared with the hard work of 400 meters, he would rather choose to run 100 meters.

An athlete of the size of Youssé Bot is suitable for running 200 meters and 400 meters, but for 100 meters, Glenn Mills has no bottom in his heart.

However, under the repeated requests of Youssé Bot, he and Youssé Bot made an agreement that Youssé Bot needs to break the Jamaican national record for men's 200 meters.

In the Jamaica National Athletics Championships held in Kingston on June 24, Youssé Bot broke his personal best and the Jamaican national record with a time of 19.75 seconds, completing the agreement between the master and the apprentice.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Glen Mills’ face, “Wait for the Super Grand Prix in Lausanne and the Sheffield Grand Prix in England to end, we will go to Crete, Greece, where the Vardinoian will be held soon. The level of the Nigerian Games is not too high. I allow you to participate in the men’s 100m race."
