Born to Run

The 6th IAAF World Athletics Finals in 2008 will last for a total of two days. September 13th-September 14th, can be regarded as the most important track and field competition this year besides the Olympic Games.

Ye Qin returned to Europe to compete after the Olympics. On the one hand, besides improving his own score and ranking in the event, another important reason was to adapt to the venue and competition to meet the IAAF World Athletics Finals.

This is Yechin’s first time to participate in the IAAF World Athletics Finals. In 2006, Yechin did not participate in the IAAF World Athletics Finals at the time because of his few personal participations, but as a representative of the Asian team The 10th AFC World Cup held in a week.

He was very impressed by the IAAF World Athletics Finals, the most important being that that year was the year that Jason Gaby emerged in the men's 100 meters event.

From the 200m to the men's 100m, Jason Gaby performed amazingly that year and became another leader in the American sprint after Jax Trin.

At that time, Jason Gaby and Asafaville lost in the men’s 100 meters duel, but Jason Gaby performed very well in the 200 meters event and became the men’s 200 meters of the year with a time of 19.68 seconds. First person.

Even if Ye Qin had won Jason Gaby and a gold medal in the 2005 World Championships, he was still slightly inferior to his opponent in terms of his personal best and the degree of optimism from the outside world.

Jason Gaby’s powerful rising posture will make the IAAF World Cup men’s 100m event a week later. In order to ensure his undefeated 100m record throughout the year, Asafaville did not dare to try Hejie easily. Sen Gaby faced off.

Returning to Stuttgart this time, Yechin is no longer a spectator, but the title of the world's number one sprinter. The local media and many international media have already criticized Yechin in this international field almost from before the game. The United World Athletics Finals is full of expectations.

After the Olympic Games, the famous American track and field magazine "Track and Field News" once gave Yechin a special introduction. Chin put on the cover character.

There is a passage on the cover of the magazine: "... He broke the world's definition of race monopoly, and his speed has become the most brilliant term for sprinting in this era. No one has been able to be as thorough as he. Monopoly sprinting, the title of king of omnipotent speed deserves his name... He is running, and his strongest opponents of the same era are setting off a series of track and field storms on this planet, perhaps this will become our sprint The best time..."

...

September 13, Stuttgart, Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

This stadium, which has always been sponsored by the Daimler Group, has been named after its founder Gottlieb Daimler before, but since 2008 it has been renamed the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

In the scene of more than 50,000 people, many spectators entered the stadium at noon and entered a tense waiting period.

Especially in the men's sprint event, Ye Qin will participate in the men's 100 meters, 200 meters and 400 meters in the IAAF World Athletics Finals this time.

For many track and field enthusiasts who have watched the Yenching Olympics and last year's Osaka World Championships, this one will be a close watch of this one who has already surpassed Karl Lewis, and Michael Johnson has become the new world sprint king. Peerless style.

On the spectator stand, two female spectators with long blond legs and extremely bright legs, holding up the KT board of Ye Qin's photo, were standing in the front row of the audience beating frantically.

Every time you sway the KT board in your hand, the bumpy figure attracts the attention of many male audiences around.

In the country, the majority of men still like sports, especially sprinting. In the past few years, Ye Chin has started to pay attention to track and field after a large number of female fans have started to pay attention to track and field after the frenzy set off from one game after another. A large part of this is through the imperceptible upsurge of the media, from chasing Ye Qin personally, and then to learn about sports, track and field and sprinting.

In comparison, in the West and in Europe, the popularity of sports stars is very high. Many women have no weaker understanding of sports than men. A large part of them know athletes from the field, and gradually become more and more acquainted. Come appreciate it more and more, and then turn into individual fans.

This is the case with these two female audiences, both of whom are well-known local models in Germany. This time they made a special trip from Berlin to Stuttgart to witness Yechin's performance in track and field events up close.

In the field of competitive sports, it can be said that it is the most capable of blurring skin color and nationality. Whether black, white or yellow, the final result on the field determines your status.

Everyone will only see your results, not your skin color.

Of course, if the athletes of their home country and the same skin color achieve excellent results, they will naturally become the focus of everyone's pursuit.

"I really can't believe it!"

In the stands, Zhuang Wei looked at the many KT boards with Ye Qin's name and photos in the audience. Some foreigners even picked up the small five-star red flag with a shocked expression on his face.

He and Yeqin have been cooperating for a long time, but even if Yeqin competed in various countries before, he had not been able to make such a sensation. At that time, the most supporters of Yeqin were local Chinese and overseas students. Although there were some foreign audiences who followed Yeqin, they had never reached such a high level.

At that time, Ye Qin was just one of many top athletes, with good grades and great talents, which made people recognize Ye Qin.

But now, it is completely different from before.

"This is the effect of the Olympics."

Yuan Guohua had a brilliant smile on his face, reached out his hand and gently patted Zhuang Wei's broad shoulder, and there was a sense of indescribable pride in his heart.

He hadn't arrived at the Lausanne Super Grand Prix. I don't know what the situation is. He has already seen his first clues in the Golden League audience in Brussels. At Rieti, Yechin already received great cheers from the local Italian audience.

And now in the IAAF World Athletics Finals, the scene has become like a domestic scene, and it seems that the audience is just coming to Ye Qin.

This is why the effects of the Yechin Olympics are beginning to take place. Track and field fans across the world have seen Yechin's crowning of the world trapeze completely through the Olympics. In addition, after the Olympics, Yechin's waves in the European airport competitions have made the whole International track and field, at least the enthusiasm for sprint events has not diminished, but has continued to rise.

After Dayao and Liu Yangyu, Ye Qin has played the most important sports card to the international community. And this business card was originally in China, in Asia.

But after the Olympics, Yuan Guohua learned from some channels that the IAAF is now in a state of great concern for Yeqin, because Yeqin is driving the influence of track and field sprinting among the world's sports.

This is since the Barker Lab scandal in 2006 led to a decline in the international influence of track and field events, once again attracting attention and pursuit.

People want to see if this sprinter from the East can always dominate the men's 100m, 200m and 400m. They want to see the top of Asafaville, Youssef Bot, Jason Gaby and Jimmy Warner. What kind of sparks can the sprinters of China ignite in the contest with Yeqin.

Zhang Peimeng and Su Bingtian looked at the boiling arena, and they couldn't calm down for a long time.

Ye Qin has not yet played, and the entire arena has become so excited and excited around Ye Qin. This is undoubtedly the highest praise an athlete can get, even surpassing the gold medal in a sense.

They and Ye Qin have known each other for a long time, especially Zhang Peimeng has also participated in some competitions with Ye Qin since 2005. Needless to say in China, Ye Qin was already very popular at that time, but it was far away in the world. There is no such crazy atmosphere as it is now.

But now, they watched Yechin's several big competitions together, and the whole of Europe seemed to be overwhelmed by the track and field events Yechin wanted to participate in.

This kind of stimulation and motivation has an immeasurable impact on a growing athlete.

"Big man, take it so!"

In Zhang Peimeng's mind, there was a passage about Han Gaozu's emotion when he saw Qin Shihuang driving in a car. He could not say this instead, but the feeling that should be the case was a huge wave in his heart.

Su Bingtian was a little excited. His growth background was closer to Ye Qin. He has always been under pressure and motivation. In such an atmosphere, he will also have strong feelings of envy and self-encouragement in his heart.

"This is the accumulated influence, and it is also the influence of the Olympic Games that fully promotes Ye Qin to the world." Yuan Guohua keenly discovered the emotions of the two young athletes he brought to Europe with him, and smiled lightly towards the two of them. Said something.

This is his original intention to take the two abroad after the Olympics. He wanted them to really feel the general environment of the European track and field world. Of course, it was beyond his expectation that there was such a warm atmosphere.

While several people were in a state of excitement, the atmosphere in the entire Mercedes-Benz Stadium suddenly became more enthusiastic.

Hulala applause, cheers, and whistles sounded. Before the men's 400-meter starting line on the live track, eight finalists appeared on the field.

At the same time, on the big screen, the list of men's 400m races was also hit, which is still the most luxurious lineup of men's 400m races:

The first one, Gange-Gaba, Germany;

The second road, Gary-Kikaya, Congo;

Third, Chris Brown, Bahamas;

Fourth Road, Jimmy Warner, United States;

The Fifth Way, Ye Qin, China;

The sixth way, Sean Merritt, United States;

The seventh way, Angelo Taylor, the United States;

Eighth Road, Martin Rooney, England;

Standing on the fifth track, Ye Qin first beckoned to the boiling audience around him, and after a burst of excited cheers, did he set his sights on the track and field arena again.

In fact, he himself did not expect that after the Olympics, his popularity in Europe would rise to this level. Perhaps it may not only be in Europe, but the whole world.

In the first few games, he had already felt it, but it was Germany that really made him feel that the audience was the most enthusiastic.

He is actually a little hard to imagine himself. Like many Chinese, his impression of the Germans is still rigorous and rigid. What he didn't expect is that they would be so fanatical in the sports arena.

This is the crazy move that Yechin did not know about the German fans. Not to mention the all sorts of unthinkable moves that the fans have done. The German government alone has a committee called Research on the Causes of Fanatic Behavior and Defensive Measures. It is not tenable to be able to understand that such a lot of forced impressions are untenable.

Track and field and sprinting are not as popular as football, but at this time the Olympic Games have just ended. Ye Chin went from the 2005 World Championships to the 2007 World Championships, and then to the Yanjing Olympics this year. His performance in three top world competitions, And the continued amazing performance of the Olympic Games in Europe is enough to make him comparable to any sports star at this time.

At 15:25 in the afternoon, as the game time approached little by little, the boiling atmosphere in the audience gradually calmed down.

When the voice of the player's command to take the seat sounded, the hustle and bustle in the arena was gone, and some at least whispered breathing and some noises produced buzzing waves.

Ye Qin leaned over and stepped on the approach, eliminating all interference, quietly waiting for the gunshots to come.

This time the IAAF World Athletics Finals, Yechin will participate in three events during the two-day competition.

The first day was the men's 400m and men's 100m races at 15:25 and 17:15 respectively, and the second day was the men's 200m race.

The time between the men’s 400 meters and men’s 100 meters is not long, only about an hour, but the finals are just a shot to win, there are no preliminaries and rematches. Compared with Yeqin, although the competition is under pressure, in general, Time is not a particularly big challenge.

After a gunshot, the eight runners in front of the starting line quickly rushed out of the starting line.

This men's 400-meter race is also a duel of the top three 400-meter athletes. Yeqin, Jimmy Warner and Sean Merritt, although the 400m event is far less concerned than the men's 100m, they are all top sprinters. They can appear in a race. This is already the case. The biggest surprise of the finals.

Jimmy Warner has almost completely monopolized the men's 400m event since 2004 and has become the veritable first person in the world in the 400m.

But after Jimmy Warner changed his coach in 2008, his results were not satisfactory. First he lost to Sean Merritt in the National Olympic Trials, and then lost to Yechin and Merritt at the Olympics. For him, the IAAF World Athletics Finals at the end of the year is the most important third game. If he loses again, it can almost declare the collapse of his dominance on the men's 400 meters.

Sean Merritt completely regards Yechin as his opponent and target. This year's Jimmy Warner knows that the opponent's condition is not outstanding. He has clearly discovered it during the Olympic trials and the 4×400-meter relay. at this point.

But now he wants to become the first man in the 400 meters, the opponent that needs to be defeated most is Ye Qin.

From the beginning of the game, Yechin, Sean Merritt and Jimmy Warner had their peak duel in four, five, six, three passes.

Yeqin started well and accelerated quickly. Although the enthusiasm given to him by the audience in this game was not as enthusiastic as the Bird's Nest Stadium, it was enough to make his blood boil and devote himself to the game.

And he now gradually feels that the reason why Asafaville can always achieve good results in these competitions is that after an athlete has suffered too much pressure from the competition, he comes to a lower level of competition, and the psychological pressure seems to be completely I get a catharsis, and I can feel the enthusiasm of the audience to mobilize my own emotions, but I don't feel the strong sense of pressure.

This feeling made the whole game easy for him, and he could let go and run instead of paying special attention to the final result.

In this game against Jimmy Warner and Sean Merritt, Yeqin was not confident that he would win. Although he wanted to have this mentality in the game, mature athletes might be able to calmly analyze. Own problems.

His current focus has been placed on the men's 100 meters and men's 200 meters. Men's 400 meters have rarely practiced. The Bird's Nest Stadium can break the world record, which is totally an accident. The state of the day was indeed very good, coupled with the previous 200-meter defeat, making him the best ever in the 400-meter semi-finals. By the time he won Sean Merritt in the finals, he almost tried his best and couldn't stand up even after running.

In this 400-meter race, Ye Qin wanted to let go and run without thinking too much. One hour later, there will be a men's 100-meter race. Youssé Bot did not participate, but Asafaville is still there, and he can't relax too much if he wants to win.

The cheers and applause of the audience became more and more enthusiastic. Ye Chin ran very relaxed. At first, he didn't feel too much about the state of Sean Merritt on the sixth track and Jimmy Warner on the fourth track. Great.

But after running 200 meters, Ye Qin gradually realized that he was already approaching the sixth track, Sean Merritt, and suddenly he woke up a little.

When I entered the second curve between 200 meters and 300 meters, this feeling became clearer and clearer. Sean Merritt was overtaken by him at about 250 meters. At the same time, Jimmy -Warner didn't catch up either.

After the two participated in the Olympics and other competitions, it was obvious that the state of the 400-meter race was not excellent.

Turn into the straight!

After Yechin took the lead into the straight, he already felt that he was running to the first position, with Sean Merritt and Jimmy Warner behind him.

This is the final championship!

The most exciting section of the 400-meter race is often this straight phase. Many runners will experience severe speed drops and physical fatigue when they run here.

Ye Qin didn't feel that he ran too hard, he still made appropriate reservations. Originally, he thought that the two might explode in the second half of the race, and he would also follow the final sprint.

But slowly the finish line got closer and closer, Sean Merritt and Jimmy Warner never followed, and Yeqin rushed to the finish line in one breath.

On the live timing card, this group of men's 400m results appeared in front of everyone!

44 seconds 31!

This is Yechin's final victory!

And Sean Merritt and Jimmy Warner, who were highly expected by many viewers, ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, finally crossed the finish line almost at the same time, with results of 44.50 and 44.51 respectively.

The entire Mercedes-this stadium was instantly plunged into a frenetic atmosphere.

Although the final result was not particularly outstanding, Yeqin won the championship under the attack of two top 400m players. This is enough to make his supporters excited!

Besides, this is the first game, and many people are still waiting for Yeqin's 100 meters!

Facing the challenge of Asafaville, can Ye Chin continue to maintain his undefeated in the men's 100 meters this year, and what kind of results can he run in the end? When will Yeqin be able to run into 9 seconds 60 again?
