Born to Run

? "Ye Qin, Ye Qin!"

After the game, the Bird's Nest Stadium was surrounded by reporters almost from the mixed channel area.

Standing among the protection of several staff members, Ye Qin waved his hands at the reporters on both sides with a smile. At this time, he was still a little excited.

The world record of 9 seconds and 73 seconds has improved by at least one hundredth of a second for him, but this hundredth of a second is a new world record.

Being able to own a world record of its own is undoubtedly the greatest affirmation for an athlete. Even Yechin knows that this record may not be able to be maintained for too long, like Asafa Faville and Yousse Bot Athletes like Jason Gaby have the ability to break it.

But at this moment, it belongs to itself.

Witnessing his strength and achievements in the men's 100-meter dash, in a sense, he truly reached the top.

For example, Asafaville is not particularly good in the honor of the competition, but it has been considered that he has almost dominated the men's 100 meters for three years. Among them, there are several key factors. One is that in 2006, Asafa Weir almost remained unbeaten in the men's 100 meters and reached the top of the IAAF men's 100 meters standings.

The second is that Asafaville is the athlete who has run the most men's 100 meters in 10 seconds in recent years. There is no doubt about his personal strength.

The last one is the world record. Since Asafaville set a world record of 9.77 seconds at the Athens Grand Prix in June 2005, he has tied the world record of 9.77 seconds twice, and then at the Osaka World Championships last year. After the race, the Italian Rieti Grand Prix set a world record in 9.74 seconds.

The third one is particularly critical. The world record held by Asafaville in recent years is where he can stand up to the highest peak of the men's 100 meters. Even if he missed the Helsinki World Championships in 2005 and lost at the Osaka Grand Prix in 2007, his status would still not be affected.

But now, this world record has been obtained by Ye Chin, and Ye Chin has truly broken the rule of Asafaville in the men's 100 meters and reached the top of the world's top trapeze.

"Ye Qin, can you talk about your mood at the moment? Have you ever thought about breaking the world record before the game?"

Some of the reporters yelled deeply, and the microphones were poking at him as if they were about to be poked in the face.

Ye Qin evaded slightly, then smiled and nodded and replied: "Of course I am very excited, and I never thought that I would break the world record before the game. I just wanted to run faster, and then let my teammates be able to do more. I followed me to meet the Olympic standards. In fact, I broke the world record. I always thought that I might wait until the Olympics. After all, the opponents were relatively strong at that time."

Everyone laughed.

Someone asked: "We have just seen Yang Yao and Zhang Peimengdu qualify for the Olympic A-standard in the men's 100 meters. Together with the previous Gu Kai, we now have four people in the men's 100 meters. Can you tell me which of the three of them you think will compete?"

"I don't know this. It depends on the arrangement in the team and everyone's individual status." Ye Qin shook his head and chuckled, "And today is the men's 100 meters race, and soon there will be men's 200 meters. At that time, there may be a few players who can meet the competition standards.

"Yepchin, Yeqin, will you go abroad before the Olympics next?"

"The specifics are still uncertain. In the next time, we still have to practice more relay and cooperation."

...

A simple post-match interview was over. Just after Yeqin left the Bird's Nest Stadium and went straight to the training bureau to rest, the entire domestic media exploded almost instantly.

From morning to evening, newsletters, news articles and reports appeared repeatedly, either in media magazines, or on the Internet and TV.

This is not the world record for walking, nor the world record for long-distance running, but the world record for the men's 100-meter sprint that has attracted the most attention in the world's track and field events.

Where is the limit of humanity?

Now the Chinese can give you the answer.

100 meters, 9 seconds 73!

The news that the men's 100-meter world record was broken by Yechin is like a hurricane that violently blew across the land of China.

A few weeks ago, when Ye Qin pinged the world record, there was already a wave of discussion in China, but now this wave of waves has reached an unprecedented level.

Especially now, on the eve of the 2008 Olympic Games, this news has stimulated people's emotions.

The morning news on May 23 began to broadcast this news about Yeqin's breaking the world record almost early in the morning.

In the morning sports column of CCTV5, the famous sports commentator Han Shengqiao also made an inventory of the development history of the men's 100 meters.

From the time of war, Liu Changchun has set the national record of 10 seconds 7 in the 100 meters at the time.

Twenty-five years later, during the New China era, Liang Jianxun ran 10.6 seconds, breaking the old China’s 100-meter record

Since then, the leading figure is Chen Jiaquan, who constantly set a national record. On October 24, 1965, Chen Jiaquan's 100-meter run timed 10.0 seconds, tying the world record set by former Federal German athlete Harry in 1960.

Beginning in the late 1970s, men’s 100 meters and domestic men’s 100 meters entered electronic timekeeping. Yuan Guoqiang, a famous figure in Guangdong, ran 10 seconds 61 in 1978, 10 seconds 53 in 1979, and 10 seconds in Lausanne, Switzerland in 1982. Seconds 52, has set a national record three times.

In 1983, Yu Zhuanghui broke the national 100-meter record in 10.51 seconds, an increase of one hundredth of a second.

In 1984, Zhejiang star Zheng Chen raised the national record to 10.43 seconds.

At the Asian Track and Field Championships held in Jakarta in 1985, Zheng Chen won the championship in 10.28 seconds and set the Asian record of 10.34 seconds set by Japanese athlete Hideo Iijima in 1968.

In 1986, 18-year-old Sichuan teenager Li Tao broke the Asian record in the first Asian Youth Championship with a score of 10.26 seconds.

In the 1990s, Guangxi flying man Chen Wenzhong broke the national record three times again-in 1992 he ran 10.24 seconds, and in the same competition in 1996 he ran 10.21 seconds and 10.20 seconds.

Until 1998, Jiangxi flying man Zhou Wei took the Chinese men's 100 meters into 10 seconds 2-on June 6, 1998 in Beijing, a national record of 10.17 seconds.

It took another eight years for the Chinese men’s 100 meters to chase the wind, until Ye Qin started to compete in the men’s 100 meters in 2006 and broke with a time of 10.15 seconds in the 2006 Yenching World Youth Athletics Championships. The national record has just opened a new page in the men's 100 meters.

After that, Yechin ran into the 10-second mark for the first time in the Asian Games one after another, and then won the men's 100m championship at the World Championships in Osaka with a time of 9.83 seconds.

The biggest change in the course of this period is that Yechin started 100 meters in the short period of two to three years, from the national record to the Asian record, and then to the current world record.

All the results are like dreams, and they are so natural.

When Yechin won the men’s 200m championship unexpectedly at the 2005 Helsinki World Championships, many people asserted that Yechin would definitely perform in the men’s 100m event in the future.

However, what everyone did not expect was that this day would come so fast!

On the eve of the 2008 Olympic Games, Ye Qin broke a world record in a very ordinary Chinese Open!

Even if the level of this event is not particularly high, but as a warm-up event before the Olympic Games, IAAF officials specially instructed to speak, the regularity of the game, and Yeqin's previous strength in various competitions. People will question how untrue this result is.

...

On the second day after the news that Yeqin broke the men's 100m world record, the "Good Luck Yanjing" Track and Field Open originally had tens of thousands of seats left, but it was sold out in an instant.

The Bird’s Nest Stadium, which can accommodate up to 80,000 and 90 thousand people, was almost filled by track and field enthusiasts who came from the cities around Yanjing. Although there was no men’s 100 meters for the next day’s track and field competition, there were still men’s 200 meters. Rice project.

This made the organizing committee of the Yanjing Olympics and the Chinese Athletic Association very happy to organize this event. According to their event arrangement, it was the three-day "Good Luck Yanjing" Chinese Athletics Open. The first day and the second day were both Yeqin. The men’s 100-meter and 200-meter hurdles are the home field of Liu Yangyu. The third day is Liu Yangyu’s men’s 110-meter hurdles.

The effect was obvious. Forty to fifty thousand people came to watch the game on the first day, but it was unexpected that due to Yeqin’s excellent performance, there were even more people on the second day, outside the ticket to an ordinary open game. The scalpers in China have already reached prices ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand.

"In this men's 200-meter race, we still have to work harder. At least one of us must reach the Olympic A standard."

In the rest area of ​​the Bird's Nest Stadium, Yang Yao and Zhang Peimeng had just finished warming up, and they were sitting together and discussing in a low voice.

Ye Qin watched the two chatting from a distance and didn’t bother him in the past. Instead, he was still doing the warm-up before the game. Now it’s only three months from the Olympics. Can he run in the game again at this time? It is not particularly important to achieve better results, or even to break the record. The most important thing is to not be injured and let the body get adequate rest.

After breaking the men's 100m world record yesterday, the coaches Yuan Guohua and Yu Weili were equally excited and unbearable, but besides congratulations, there are actually other meanings besides the words.

Even now if he can, he still shouldn't run too hard, he needs to make some reservations appropriately.

The men's one-to-two hundred-meter race seems to be very short, and the race time often ends in just ten or twenty seconds, but this is an explosion of the athlete's extreme state.

The load on the body’s muscles, tendons, bones, internal organs, etc. is super heavy. Even if he is young now, he is the best able to show performance, recovery and endurance. There are many coaches and physical therapists. Some experts in human physiology do not recommend that Ye Qin always go all out to run the game.

Ye Qin can also really feel that the load on the body is completely different between running 9:9 and 9:73. It seems that there is only a gap of two tenths of a second, but this two tenths of a second requires physical work of the athlete to double the geometric number.

After running yesterday’s 9 seconds 73, although he did not feel any discomfort in his body, Ye Chin also understood that if he burst out with all his strength one after another, the burden on his body would be very huge, and it is likely to cause some Injury.

For athletes, injury is the enemy, if possible, it is best not to get injured, because once the injury begins, many times high-intensity competition will be repeated in the injured position, eventually resulting in irreparable results.

In today’s men’s 200-meter race, Yuan Guohua actually suggested that Ye Qin should give up, but later saw that more and more spectators poured into the scene, Ye Qin did not want to disappoint everyone and decided to play.

Of course, Ye Chin had made up his mind from the beginning of the men's 200 meters, and it would not break out like the 100 meters. It would be almost 70% to 80% running.

On the other hand, Yang Yao and Zhang Peimeng, who were discussing at this time, looked very cold at this time. After yesterday's men's 100 meters race, their results have come out.

Both of them have entered the Olympic A-mark. With the addition of Yeqin and Gu Kai before, there are now four men in the men's 100 meters, while the number of A-mark Olympics is only three. If it’s the World Championships, it’s better to say that Yechin was the champion of last year’s Osaka World Championships.

But now this is the Olympics!

Everyone is a teammate in the men's 100 meters event. They know that they are likely to be eliminated in the first round. Even if they play well, they will go to the semi-finals.

But for an athlete to be able to participate in a single event on a stage like the Olympics, there may not be a few such opportunities in a lifetime.

Especially like Yang Yao and Gu Kai, both of whom are already twenty-five or sixteen years old, it is unknown whether the next Olympic Games will maintain the status quo in four years.

Only Zhang Peimeng can still consider the next two Olympics, but no one of the athletes can tell when the state is just right, and when he will retire after catching up with the injury.

So the opportunity is very rare for everyone. What is even more rare is that this time the Olympic Games are in their own country and in their own stadium. For an athlete, it has a completely different meaning.

Yang Yao and Zhang Peimeng have discussed after last night, today’s men’s 200-meter event still has to go all out and strive to be able to run into the Olympic A-mark in the 200-meter event. Only in this way, even if one person quits and does not participate. Men's 100m event can also participate in the men's 200m event.

Of course, the specific Olympic men's 100-meter Chinese track and field team has not yet been finalized, but Yeqin is certain that only two of them and Gu Kai can participate in the competition, and everyone’s results are actually in the middle. Even if there is a gap, it is not too big.

And after several years of men’s 4×100m training, they have been getting along day and night. It can be said that they have a deep relationship with each other and really want to eliminate their teammates to participate in the competition. To be honest, no one will feel good in their hearts.

After Zhang Peimeng came out of the men’s 100 meters list yesterday, he was actually prepared not to participate in the Olympics this year. His performance in the men’s 100 meters is similar to that of Gu Kai, but slightly inferior to Yang Yao, and in terms of age, He has a future.

It’s just that Yang Yao also saw his thoughts and hoped that both of them can meet the Olympic standards in the men’s 200m event. Everyone’s strength has actually reached the Olympic A standard. At least one of the lacks broke out. If you can seize the opportunity , It is still very possible.

At 20:30 in the evening, the men's 200m final officially kicked off.

Almost as soon as the athletes entered the stadium in the Bird's Nest Stadium, the volume of the audience in the stands of the auditorium rose to the highest level.

Many people specially asked for leave today to watch the game. Today is Friday. After asking for leave, it happens to be the weekend until the next day of the game.

Although many viewers have seen the video of Ye Chin breaking the men's 100m world record last night on TV and on the Internet, many people still regret not being able to witness the birth of this miracle with their own eyes.

Fortunately, there is still a men's 200-meter race today, and they can once again see the demeanor of the world's trapeze.

Before the men's 200-meter starting line, Ye Qin stood on the fifth track, watching the almost overwhelming cheers of the audience, the lights shrouded in it, as if it were his own stage.

Imagining that in a few months, he will be here to face other famous players from all over the world, and he feels extremely excited.

Being able to participate in such a grand event as the hosting of the Olympic Games in your own country, and to be able to compete in it, to show your best state and results to the motherland and people, this is a moment that an athlete dreams of.

Now, we are getting closer and closer to that time node!

...

"Onyourmarks!"

With a strong taste of Chinese English, the starter on the sidelines called out the command for the players to take their place.

Ye Qin, Yang Yaozhang, Pei Meng and others stepped onto the 200-meter starting line in their respective passes.

In addition to the various track and field athletes in this country, there is also a Hong Kong athlete and an Australian athlete. The others are currently relatively outstanding men's 200m athletes in China.

After a gunshot, the eight players quickly rushed out of the starting line.

Yeqin was on the fourth pass. In this 200-meter race, he was the same as previously imagined. He didn't start to explode from the beginning, but in a state where he still had enough energy to slowly push himself. Speed ​​up.

In the 200-meter project, he has tried many different running methods, from a fast start to burst, to a start to reduce the stride frequency, increase the stride, push the speed step by step, or use 200 meters as two speeds. Run at a high point and look for the best results in various speeds.

The running method he now adopts is similar to his earlier running method, but with the continuous improvement of his personal strength, even if he has some reservations in the first half now, the speed is still amazing.

At the 90-meter distance that the corner was about to end, Ye Qin had already ran to the first place, and then maintained his advantage, sprinting towards the finish line all the way.

Zhang Peimeng and Yang Yao, who were behind Ye Qin, seized this rare opportunity and followed Ye Qin stubbornly.

For athletes, if you want to create good results outside of your own state, you must have good opponents.

A good opponent can stimulate the potential and make yourself go all out to explode.

Both of them are now focusing on Ye Qin, wanting to run the Olympic men's 200m A target just like the men's 100m event.

Before the Athens Olympics, Yang Yao had already ran the Olympic A target within 20.59 seconds. In the past few years, he also ran within 20.60 seconds. However, after 2007, the focus of this year's competition was on the men's 100. In the meters and relay, the 200-meter performance dropped slightly, but not much. He is fully qualified for the A standard.

And Zhang Peimeng had the best time of 20.74 in last year's national championship race. This year, he has reached 20.60 in the men's 200 meters in the team several times this year, and has already qualified for the competition.

Turn into the straight!

At this moment, the audience was boiling again. In the eyes of everyone, Ye Chin took the lead in rushing into the straight with several positions ahead of the other players, and his speed did not seem to drop at all, but he was running faster and faster.

Behind Ye Qin, Yang Yao and Zhang Peimeng were almost side by side, chasing Ye Qin quickly. As for the other players, there was a big difference in strength, and they had already been thrown off by the three at this time.

Fifty meters, forty meters, thirty meters...

Getting closer and closer to the finish line, Ye Qin had already begun to release after fifty meters, running completely by his body's inertia!

From the start to the middle of the run, he basically didn't use too much effort. In this 200-meter race, he just ran as a speed endurance training in the team.

But even so, the strength is reached, and now basically the gap between other athletes and him is still very obvious!

20 seconds 03!

After Ye Qin crossed the finish line, the results of his group appeared on the time card on the spot.

The audience paused for a while, followed by cheers and applause.

When Ye Qin crossed the finish line, everyone could see that his lead was very obvious. He was more than a few meters faster than the second-placed Zhang Peimeng and the third-placed Yang Yao, but he did not expect the results. Just 20 seconds away.

If it was placed in the past, this result is already shocking enough, but many viewers are used to Ye Qin's score within 20 seconds. When they saw this, they were still a little surprised.

However, many spectators clearly saw that Ye Qin did not go all out in this game, but left spare energy, but did not feel too surprised.

After Ye Qin crossed the finish line and saw the score of 20.03, he did not immediately open his hands to greet the cheers. Instead, standing on the runway of the finish line, he found Yang Yao and Zhang Peimeng and waited with them. Looking at the results on the big screen.

"The third path, Yang Yao, 20 seconds 54; the fifth path, Zhang Peimeng, 20 seconds 58."

Two eye-catching achievements appeared in front of everyone, and both Yang Yao and Zhang Peimeng suddenly cried out in excitement.

Ye Qin hugged the two and was also happy for them. Everyone is a teammate. After so many years of training together, like brothers, it is a great thing to be able to participate in the Olympics together.

The men's 100 meters are now 4 people reaching the standard, and the men's 200 meters are now three people reaching the standard. This means that for the first time both events will be filled with places.

For track and field powers such as the United States and Jamaica, there are many athletes who meet the Olympic standards. If you want to participate in the Olympic sprint competition, you need to pass domestic trials to qualify.

As for China, in the sprint event, there are basically very few AB standards that can meet the competition. For example, Ye Qin reached the men's 200-meter A mark and men's 400-meter B mark in the 2004 World Youth Championship. FireWire joined the national team and represented the track and field team in the Olympics.

Because at that time, apart from him, only one Chen Hai reached the B mark at 100 meters, only Yang Yao reached the A mark at 200 meters, and no one else could reach the mark.

Now it is finally different. Although there is only one person from Yeqin in the 400m event, the 100m and 200m are already able to reach the full quota of three participants.

At this time, the audience was a little confused~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I don't know why the three athletes suddenly became excited.

Soon there was a voice on the big screen: "...Dear audience friends, in the men's 200m race that just ended, both Chinese athletes Yang Yao and Zhang Peimeng ran into the men's 200m A in the Olympic Games. This means that for the first time in this year’s men’s 100-meter and 200-meter competitions, our country will have three places for the Olympic Games A-marked for the first time.

From before 2000, almost no one in our country’s men’s sprint event was able to qualify for the Olympic Games, to 2004 Yang Yao and Ye Qin participated in the men’s 200-meter and 400-meter races, and to the 2008 Yanjing Olympics, we were In the 100-meter and 200-meter events, there were three contestants each..."

In the live broadcast host’s explanation, there were many savvy spectators in the auditorium who explained in low voices. At this time, 80,000 people in the audience fully understood why Ye Qin, Yang Yao, and Zhang Peimeng appeared on the stadium track. So excited!

From no one to qualify for the Olympic Games, to the men's 100 meters and 200 meters, three people can participate. From the national record of 10.17 to the world record of 9.73, the Chinese men's track and field sprint has made great progress!
