Born to Run

"The Jamaican team's performance completely surpassed the American team fifteen years ago. They have the potential to hit the 37-second mark. The Chinese team's performance is completely based on the tacit cooperation and Ye Qin's personal ability. The personal best results of the first three clubs were between 10 seconds 20 and 10 seconds 30. With the tacit cooperation and finally Yechin's fourth shot broke out, he defeated other players and won the second place.

It’s not the first time that the US team lost in the men’s 4×100m relay. The 2004 Athens Olympics, the 2005 Helsinki World Championships, and this year’s Olympics, three of the four major competitions in the last four years have suffered serious problems. Mistakes..."

In the media commentary, Michael Johnson had half his appreciation for the Jamaican team and thought of the embarrassing situation of the US team being out of the preliminaries. For a while, he didn't know what to say.

On the other side, ABC TV commentator Morris Green broke the men's 4×100-meter relay record that the U.S. team had maintained for 15 years in Jamaica, and couldn’t help but complain: "The U.S. team’s performance in the preliminaries is Too bad. If Davis Button and Jason Gaby played well, they would be able to compete with Jamaica. But Jason Gaby...the 2005 World Championships were also because of him. At that time, he and Leonard Scott made a mistake in the transfer baton. This time obviously Jason Gaby did not learn his lesson. He made another mistake again!!!"

In the 2005 Helsinki World Championships men’s 4×100m preliminaries, Morris Green has been impressed so far. In the preliminaries at the time, he was in the fourth, the third was Jason Gaby, and the second was Leonard. -Scott, during the handover of the second and third batons, Jason Gayo did not get the baton just like this game. As a result, his fourth baton could only stand in the relay zone and watch one after another. The opponent passed by.

As a member of a team, he did not complain to the media, but now that he has left the US track and field team and became a guest commentator, he couldn't help but talk about it again.

In fact, after yesterday's preliminaries, Jason Gaby apologized to the media in an interview, saying that the baton error was his cause.

Teammate Davis Button helped. The main problem lies in him. Jason Gaby doesn't want him to bear the pressure to carry all the pots on his shoulders.

And everyone knows the fact that with the performance of the Jamaican team today, the performance of Youssef Bot and Asafaville, even if the US team is not out, the best result can only be a silver medal.

unless……

...

"Unless I'm on the court!"

In the room, since the men’s 4×100m relay finals began, he has been standing up. After watching the performance of the Jamaican team, Jax Trin, who has tensed his muscles, slowly sits back on the sofa. .

"With the current performance of the Jamaican men's 4x100m relay team, it is too difficult for the American team to beat them."

Unlike the relay team members of other countries who conduct long-term relay training, the relay team members of the US team are not determined in advance.

Instead, the final lineup needs to be determined through the screening of the American Outdoor Championships and Olympic Trials of the year. Generally speaking, the top three athletes in the trials are qualified to participate in the Olympic and World Championships individual events and the qualifications for the relay team, and the fourth place has no single event. Qualified to participate, but can be qualified to participate in relay events.

This leads to a situation. In many cases, the lineup of the American relay team is not fixed, and the trials are generally only a month or two from the start of the Olympics and World Championships. The players have to focus on their personal projects and have a lot of private matters. It has always been very difficult to gather together for serious training of relay events.

The performance of the US team in the men's 4×100 meters has always relied on the athlete's personal ability. A little carelessness is a serious mistake such as a handover.

Now this rising Jamaican team has made some Americans see the crisis in the sprint event. This Olympic Games until now, the performance of the American team in the men's sprint event can be described as a complete collapse.

Judging from the performance of the Jamaican team breaking the world record in the end, even if the US team enters the finals, it can’t compete. Jamaica’s third and fourth bats, Yosef Bot and Asafaville, are really strong, so they are three or four. Combinations, other opponents simply cannot contend.

Yechin can play against Youssef Bot or Asafaville in the third or fourth bar, but he is only one person. The current situation of the Chinese team is difficult for him.

There is only one possibility for the American team to contend, the combination of Jason Gaby and Jax Trin.

"There are still two years left."

After watching the game, Jax Trin got up from the sofa. Yenching has entered the night at this time, and the United States at this moment is still daytime.

"Coach, where are you going?" The black boy, who has been watching the Olympic track and field games with Jax-Trin, asked with some surprise when he watched Jax-Trin get up and change his clothes.

"training!"

Jax Trin said without looking back, and then seemed to repeat it again, "Training, I need to train to stay in shape! The track and field are now really exciting. Two years later, I hope to be able to Stand on the starting line with them."

Two years after leaving the stadium, it was lonely and difficult!

In addition to the economic situation, there are also moral and other pressures!

In fact, when he really left the track and field, Jax Trin found that he could live a good life.

Put on your running shoes, open the door, walk out of the room, and run slowly along the familiar road...

Time can sometimes make people see a lot of things clearly, such as former friends and teammates, such as life, and for example, what do you love most...

From the 110-meter hurdles to the 100-meter and 200-meter sprints, from Woodham High School to the University of Tennessee, from the small track and field field in the community to the world’s highest Olympic stage, thousands of sails were exhausted. At this time, Jake Stern has been able to understand his heart clearly.

Two bans, countless championships and medals, controversy and condemnation, regret and contempt, the only thing left in the end is the running self in his youth!

...

At this time, the noise in the Bird's Nest Stadium is still enthusiastic.

The four players of the Jamaica relay team attracted the most attention. The fifteen-year world record was passed, and a new world record was born. Hundreds of Jamaicans who came with the team to watch the game were cheering in the stands.

Sprinting is the most popular sport in Jamaica, and everyone is paying attention here. After several generations of hard work, this moment Jamaica's sprint finally stands on top of the world.

Although they are not perfect in the men's 100 meters, they have already occupied two seats among the top three sprinters in the world.

As for the relay project representing the overall sprint level of this country, they surpassed other players to win the championship, and it seems that they are also proclaiming the crowning of Jamaica's king at this moment.

Among the cheering crowd, a sturdy black teenager who was less than twenty years old with dreadlocks stood beside Glenn Mills, his body trembling slightly.

Nesta Carter, Michael Flatt, Youssef Bot and Asafaville, these four athletes are his predecessors, but he has a strong urge to replace them on the court.

"Youhan, you are still young... the next Olympic Games in four years will also be your stage."

Glenn Mills smiled. There is no doubt about the performance of Jamaica in this 4×100m relay, and he fully understands the thoughts of the teenager next to him.

This is his original intention to bring his opponent to the Yanjing Olympics to watch the games. Only such a venue and such a stage can enable a young athlete to establish an unparalleled competitive spirit.

"Yes, coach, one day I can do it too."

The young man with dirty braids said categorically, as if he was talking to himself, and he seemed to be giving himself more confidence.

Glenn Mills did not continue to speak. This was the young man he chose. He was optimistic about the other's potential, but he didn't need to use any more words at this time. After the men's 4×100m relay race ended, for the Jamaican track and field team, most of the games have come to an end.

He believes that in the next Olympics, Jamaica's performance should be even more brilliant!

...

On the field, Ye Qin, Yang Yao, Zhang Pei Meng, Su Bingtian and three people wore national flags. The failure to win the gold medal of this event was the consensus of most people before the game, and for the Chinese relay team to create a new Asia The record to win the Olympic silver medal is also an exciting thing.

Although the gap with the Jamaican team is still eye-catching in terms of performance, compared with the Chinese team at the Osaka World Championships last year, everyone has seen significant progress.

The handover of the baton is more streamlined. Although the strength of the first three batons is relatively weak, with the help of technical compensation, the gap has not been opened too much.

Yeqin's last rod was impeccable. It was the fourth fastest man since the 4×100m, and it was faster than the fourth rod of the equally amazing Asafaville.

From 2004 to 2008, in the four to five years, talents have emerged in the sprint event, and the results have continued to rise. From 2000, it was difficult to achieve even the Olympics. Now it has won the 100-meter world championship and the 4x100-meter relay runner-up. Such progress makes almost everyone feel embarrassed.

"I think my first rod can actually be faster!"

"My second club is also, I was still a little short on the way."

Wearing the national flag, the four of them, Su Bingtian and Zhang Peimeng, looked at the Jamaican team, who won the championship on the other side, and talked in a low voice.

"You two guys, already running very well, what else do you want?"

Yang Yao's face seemed to light up, and he reached out his hands and rubbed the hair of both sides.

Yang Yao is already very satisfied with the silver medal in the 4×100m relay race. No matter how much imagination he had before the game, the final result is the most important.

For this silver medal, everyone present can say that they have paid a lot, and now he feels that he has no regrets for his entire career.

Participated in two Olympic Games, witnessed the Chinese sprint from the trough to the peak, for the athletes in it, nothing is better.

He has already considered retiring. The Shenghai Track and Field Team has sent out an invitation before, if he returns to the Shenghai Team as a coach after retiring.

In fact, his age is not particularly old, but in the face of increasingly fierce competition, he already knows that his room for improvement is shrinking.

"Maybe, it's time to leave!"

Standing on the track and field arena, looking at the crowded audience around the audience, the spotlight flashes like a starry sky, which is probably the most magnificent scenery he has ever seen.

"Yang Yao, Zhang Peimeng, Su Bingtian, everyone, take a group photo!"

On the sidelines, a Chinese media reporter shouted excitedly at the red flags.

"Where is Ye Qin?"

Hearing the voice of the photographer, Yang Yao, Zhang Peimeng, and Su Bingtian noticed that Ye Qin was not around after embracing them.

After embracing and celebrating with his teammates, Yeqin walked straight to the position of the Jamaican relay team and congratulated Yousse Bot, Asafaville and others.

"Yuse, Asafa, the combination of the three or four of the two of you is really perfect!"

Youssé-Bot blinked and gave Ye Chin a bear hug excitedly, "Ye Chin, or you join Jamaican citizenship, if you are afraid of the second best, perfection should be able to open for 37 seconds."

"Hahaha..." Ye Qin laughed loudly and pointed to the surrounding stands. "Yose, did you know that if you said this to the audience, you might not want to leave Yanjing." "

"Hey, I'm just kidding..." Youssé Bot narrowed his neck. "The population of your capital is several times larger than Jamaica. Then I look at the whole country, brother, my imagination is too limited. Up."

"Ye Qin, your relay team performed very well!"

Asafaville was smiling beside him, looking at the two who were talking and laughing, and congratulated Yeqin as well.

In this men's 4×100m, it can be said that both Jamaican and Chinese teams are winners. The strength of the Chinese team's first three clubs is all in their eyes, and they can win a silver medal in the end. Achievements are not bad.

As Youssef-Bot said, if Yechin is placed in their team, then the world record of 37.10 will definitely improve a lot~www.wuxiaspot.com~Thank you, Asafa! "

Yeqin expressed his gratitude to Asafaville, who was somewhat inward-looking.

"Ye Qin, come here to take pictures!"

Not far away, Yang Yao's voice came over.

Yeqin smiled and glanced at Youssé-Bot, and suddenly raised his index finger, "Yssé, we have another 200m!"

"Yes, there is another 200m." Youssé Bot nodded with a smile.

Ye Qin waved at several people, turned and ran in the direction of the Chinese relay team.

For them, the end of the men's 4×100m relay basically announced the end of this Olympic Games...

What we need to look forward to now is the next World Championship or the Olympic Games!
