The men's 200-meter semifinal started at 20:10 in the evening, and it really belonged to the masters.

Starting from the first group of the semi-finals, the competition was extremely fierce. Rodney Martin, an American player in the first group of the rematch, ran a good result of 20.25 seconds.

After that, in the second group of the rematch, Youssé Bot and Wallace Spielmont advanced to the semifinals with 20.13 and 20.26 respectively. The first place in the third group of the rematch was Jason Gaby, with a staggering 20.08 seconds.

Ye Qin's fourth set of semifinals was equally good, his promotion time was 20.15.

The first results of each group in the semi-finals were basically significantly improved compared to the preliminary rounds. Although the competition was wonderful, many Japanese audiences in Osaka were a bit regretful and disappointed.

In this men's 200-meter semifinal match, two Japanese players participated in the competition, but the final result was that both Japanese players failed to advance to the semifinals.

One of them included Japan's No. 1 in the 200m, Shingo Suezou, the bronze medalist in the men's 200m at the 2003 World Championships, only ran 20.70 in the semifinals and missed the semifinals.

It was the evening of August 29 in a blink of an eye.

Many Japanese spectators who were attracted to the Nagai Stadium to watch the game by the recent media publicity, once again saw the performance of the Japanese team's players, they became more and more disappointed.

Fortunately, at this time, whether it is the main committee of the event or the Japanese official media, it has been able to focus the media on other track and field stars, which has shifted the focus of the unfavorable performance of domestic players.

Compared with the two-day men's 100m race schedule, the race time of both men's 200m and men's 400m has been stretched to three and four days.

On the evening of the 29th, the Nagai Stadium was still brightly lit. Tonight will be the men's 400-meter semi-final and 200-meter semi-final.

Among them, the 400 meters was a three-shot tiebreaker. There were a total of three teams in the semi-finals, with a total of 24 contestants participating. There were only two teams in the 200m semi-final, with a total of 16 contestants participating.

The start time of the two games is still very close. The semifinal time of the first group of men's 400 meters is 21:25, and the time of the semifinal of the first group of 200 meters is 22:20. The interval between the two is basically the same as before. , Both are about an hour, but because of the reduction in the number of groups, there is a certain amount of rest time for the players participating in the two events.

The rest area of ​​the Jamaican track and field team.

"Youssé, you have a very good relationship with Yechin. Do you think he will give up the 400m? Marvin and I bet 100m US dollars. I bet that he will give up the 400m semi-finals." Christopher Williams saw When Youssé Bot came over, he greeted him with a grin.

"I don't think so." Marvin Anderson on the other side shook his head. "I think that guy has great ambitions. This time he may want to win the men's 100m, 200m and 400m gold medals. If he can If he does, he will probably become the world's number one sprinter."

Youssé Bot looked at the two teammates who had just finished warming up, Marvin Anderson and Christopher Williams, and sighed silently. In Jamaica, because of the rapid development of track and field events, especially sprint events over the years, Many athletes make money, and they often make jokes about other players.

Yeqin, at this time, is one of the most discussed among the many players on the Jamaican track and field team. There is no reason for him. It is only because he previously won the Jamaican in the Golden League and the men's 100 meters at the World Championships a few days ago. The banner character of Asafaville.

This makes all of Jamaica's track and field athletes, or all of Jamaica, know this person's name. Before that, some people may know Ye Qin, but the number of people is probably far less than Jason Gaby and Jaxterling.

This situation is a bit like the peak of Liu Yangyu in China. Everyone not only knows about Alan Johnson, but also about Trammel and Robes from Cuba.

These are inevitably discussed and introduced when introducing their own national players.

Ye Qin, this is the situation now. The Jamaican track and field team has paid great attention to Yeqin's participation in the men's 100 meters, 200 meters and 400 meters.

Tonight's men's 200m semifinals, Jamaica has three sprinters participating. It can be said that it is one of the few countries that has three places enough to enter the semifinals and even the finals afterwards.

In the men's 400m race, the Jamaican athletes also did a good job, as three athletes participated in tonight's semi-finals.

With such a big background as the premise, it is not surprising that Marvin Anderson and Christopher Williams bet on Yechin's performance in the 400 meters tonight.

Tonight’s 400-meter semi-final and 200-meter semi-final are very close. Christopher Williams doesn’t think Yechin will really go all out in the 400-meter semi-final. I’m afraid it’s more likely to go through the field. The stamina is reserved for the next 200m semifinals.

After all, everyone is an athlete. Naturally, everyone knows the level of athletes in the World Championships. I want to finish a men’s 400-meter race, rest for about forty to fifty minutes, and run another 200-meter semi-final, two events. It is still very dangerous to have to enter the finals.

However, Marvin Anderson analyzes from another aspect, he believes that since Ye Chin has already signed up for the men's 400 meters before and has reached the semi-finals, it is basically impossible to give up the 400 meters.

The most likely thing is to want to qualify for the finals of the two events. After all, if it is him, he will do the same.

This is a competitive athlete in all three events, especially one of the most powerful contenders for the 200m championship. As for the 400m, everyone does not know much about it, but I believe that at least there is always hope to win a medal.

Youssé Bot ignored the two's bet, but he vaguely felt that the final result of the game might really be like Marvin Anderson.

Yeqin, this athlete he has known for several years. Although everyone did not see any strong emotions and kindness when communicating in private, as long as they were on the field, Yousse-Bot didn’t think the other party would give up. .

Champion, persistence to victory.

This is the other side he knew Yechin showed on the field.

Among the few people he knew, whether it was Wallace Spilmon or Asafaville, there had never been the strong to extreme emotions in the other party. UU reading www.uukanshu. cm

Maybe Ye Qin didn't realize this, but he saw it.

Similarly, Jason Gaby also has a monotonous, focused, and almost boring life that makes Jason Gaby incompatible with many athletes, but the opponent's performance on the field improves his own results step by step, and he dares to compete with any opponent. Mentality is the biggest factor that makes them stand out from the crowd in the end.

Athletes have reached this level, whether it is him, Jason Gaby, Wallace Spilmon, Yechin, the gap between them at the 200-meter level is not big at present, but the concentration of the game , And the ability to withstand pressure is very different.

"The men's 400m race has begun. Let us see what results this Chinese Ye will achieve in this 400m race."

At this moment when Youssé Bot's mind was rolling, Marvin Anderson next to him suddenly opened his mouth and shouted.

On several large LCD TVs hung on the indoor warm-up track, the first group of the men's 400-meter semi-finals appeared on the field. Born to run
