Born to Run

?On July 13, the Lausanne Super Grand Prix ended on the third day.

The Olympic Stadium, Rome, Italy.

When Ye Qin walked into the stadium, watching the thunderous applause from the audience stands, he couldn't help feeling a little bit of emotion in his heart.

This is Yechin’s second visit to Italy. Three years ago, Yechin had a deep memory of the World Youth Athletics Championships in Grosseto. It was after that match that Nie Fangping did not continue because of his health. Coach Ye Qin.

Grosseto's World Youth Championship was an extremely important turning point for Yechin's entire career and even his entire life.

It was precisely because Ye Qin ran out of the men's 200-meter and 400-meter World Youth Championships to reach the AB standard qualification for Olympic Hu competition that year, he was urgently recruited by the national team to compete and won the Chinese men's sprint event in the Olympic Games. The biggest breakthrough, finally, a player was able to stand on the track of the sprint final.

Now that three years have passed, Ye Qin is no longer the unknown person in and out of the international track, but has completely grown into a top-notch sprinter in the world. Revisiting the old place made him feel a little bit emotional for a while.

Today's game is the IAAF Golden League Rome stop, and it is also the last stop of Yechin's European trip before this year's Osaka World Championships.

After finishing this race, he will go home immediately. However, Liu Yangyu and others, who also came to Europe to compete, did not participate in the Golden League. Instead, they went to the UK to participate in the British Grand Prix on July 15.

Similarly, Jason Gaby, Spilmon, and Youssé Bot are all absent from this Golden League, and their choice will be in the British Grand Prix, as several people have participated in recent years. In the United Kingdom, whether it is the warm invitation or popularity of the organizer, the competition is much higher than that of Yechin.

However, today's Golden League in Rome will not be too lonely either.

There is no men's 200m event in the Rome Golden League, so Yechin will still participate in the men's 100m.

The opponents he will encounter are basically not much different from the Golden League in Oslo. The strongest competitors are still Asafaville and Derek Atkins.

The full name of the Rome Golden League is called the "Golden Festival" track and field competition. It first started in 1981. Primo Nebbiolo, the president of the IAAF from Italy, combined the United States and NATO in order to boycott the 1980 Moscow Olympics. Athletes from the country gathered to host a major sporting event.

The main venue of the event is the Olympic Stadium in Rome, the most prestigious stadium in Italy. It is usually used for football matches and has hosted the World Cup and the European Cup. In addition, it is also the main venue for the Italian National Football League and the Italian National Athletics Championships.

When Ye Qin and the other eight athletes in the men's 100 meters appeared in the Olympic Stadium, the cheers of the audience had already sounded.

The men's 100m race is still the top priority of the annual Golden League.

In this game, Asafaville, the current world number one, played. At the same time, Yechin's three or four games in Europe this year have completely beaten his name.

In the men's 100 meters event, Yeqin is already the top runner who ran for 10 seconds four times this year. Coupled with his outstanding performance in the men's 200 meters and 400 meters, Yeqin at this time is better than last year's Jason- Gaby is not inferior.

Moreover, he also has the honor of being the champion of the men's 200m in the 2005 World Championships, and he also entered the finals of the World Championships in the 400m event. His position in the international track can now be said to be in the top three and five positions.

When the nine contestants appeared on the field, on the big screen of the Olympic Stadium in Rome, the pass information of the eight contestants appeared:

The first one, Derek Atkins, Bahamas;

Second, Simon Clio, Italy;

The third track, Nesta Carter, Jamaica;

The fourth road, Kurandi-Martina, Netherlands Antilles;

Fifth, Mark Jacks, United States;

The sixth way, Ye Qin, China;

Seventh Road, Asafaville, Jamaica;

Eighth Road, Michael Flatt, Jamaica;

The Ninth Way, Sean Crowder, the United States;

Among the men’s 100-meter athletes in the entire competition, except for the second track, Simon Clio, who participated as the host Italian athlete, most of the other athletes, basically Yeqin, have played against, or can be called. familiar.

Athletes who have reached a certain level in the IAAF men’s one-two hundred meters event, although there will be ups and downs over time or the rise of some new athletes, but in a relative time, basically most of the lineups are only Will be wandering among those ten or twenty people.

On the field, before the men's 100-meter starting line, Asafaville gave Ye Qin a blank expression.

After the last Golden League defeat in Oslo, he has always been surprised. For Yechin's rise, he felt that another Jason Gaby was challenging him.

In last year's men's 100 meters event, after Jax Trin was suspended, Asafaville once thought that he might not have an opponent.

But at this time, American player Jason Gai suddenly broke out and became the fastest rising one in the 100 meters. He ran several times within 10 seconds or even within 9 seconds and 90, so that in the last few games, Asa In order to maintain the record of winning streak in 100 meters throughout the year, Faville began to avoid his edge.

This year, in addition to Jason Gaby, Asafaville felt that there were two more challengers.

One is Yeqin. As the 2005 World Championships men’s 200m champion, Asafaville naturally believes that Yeqin will have enough strength in the men’s 100m, but he hasn’t thought that Yeqin’s progress will be so rapid for several consecutive games. They all ran into within 10 seconds, and the state was extremely stable, which made him feel that Yeqin seemed to have the potential to improve further.

The other is Derek Atkins of the Bahamas. This young athlete who was almost completely unknown in the international track field before has emerged this year. He first broke his country’s national record, and then ran in several US competitions. Entered the 10 second mark, and the performance of these games is obviously higher than other players' performance. Basically, they can run to about 10 seconds, second only to Jason Gaby and Yeqin. .

In the Lausanne Super Grand Prix, neither Yechin nor Jason Gaby participated in the men’s 100m event. Derek Atkins easily defeated Leonard Sco by a time of 10.04 seconds. Te, Sean Crowder and many other famous players.

After the previous game, Asafaville still had to pay attention to Yechin and Derek Atkins. The men's 100-meter crown was dazzling, but facing the challenges of endless opponents, the same is true. A very difficult thing.

Yechin can understand the heart of Asafaville. After sitting on the throne of the men’s 100-meter world record holder, the pressure is naturally different. In the past few years, he has gone from Jax Trin to Jason. -Gaby and other players have launched snipers time and time again in the men's 100 meters event.

For a sprinter, the peak era is usually only a few years, and it is extremely difficult to ensure that they can win every game. Even if the strength is strong enough, it is inevitable that there will be times when they are not in good shape.

It is a feat that Asafaville can maintain more than 20 consecutive 100-meter victories~www.wuxiaspot.com~ To defend his first position, the internal and external pressure that needs to be endured is very large.

Moreover, it is even more critical that Asafaville lacks competition honors. Whether it is the 2004 Olympics or the 2005 World Championships, Asafaville seems to be in two major competitions due to his mental state and poor luck. The play is not particularly good.

Facing the upcoming 2007 World Championships, Asafaville wants to prove his identity as the first person in the 100 meters, and he also needs a convincing honor in this competition.

Similarly, Yechin won the men’s 200-meter championship at the 2005 World Championships. Although he defeated a strong player at the beginning, his results were not considered compared to the results of many 200-meter runners in 2006 and 2007. what.

Jason Gaby, Wallace Spilmon, and Youssé Bot have made great progress in the past few years. Even if they lose against Yechin, they are mostly unwilling to play in major events. It only serves as a background board.

On the field, on the track, who didn't go for the first place?
