Chapter 542: The 2009 Lawrence World Sports Awards announced

"19.58. Jason Gaby is coming this year!"

On the afternoon of June 10, 2009, Ye Qin, who had just finished a group of men’s 200 meters in the track and field stadium of the General Training Administration of the National Sports Administration of Yanjing, stood on the edge of the field and sipped mineral water. He heard Yuan Guohua and Chen Zhongzhou. The situation of this year's international track are being discussed.

Throughout the season so far, neither Yeqin nor Youssef Bot has competed in the men’s 200 meters. The current year’s best performance in the men’s 200 meters naturally falls on Jason Gaby’s 19.58 seconds. on.

"He suffered an unexpected defeat in the Olympics last year. The pressure on him will not be less than that of other athletes. As the current sprinter of the United States, he still has to save the face of American track and field to some extent."

Chen Zhongzhou said with a slightly solemn expression next to him, Jason Gaby and Asafaville were both born in 1982, and they are now at the peak of their personal careers. Judging from the performance in the previous years, Jie Sen Gaby should still have room for improvement. When athletes reach their level, many times, as long as they are in good condition and burst out suddenly in a game, they can often create shocking results.

"Ye Qin, what do you think of Jason Gaby this year?" Chen Zhongzhou said, glanced at Ye Qin next to him, and asked with a smile.

Although their coaches have an understanding of such players, in the final analysis, they are not as intuitive as Ye Chin who has played head-to-head on the field.

"Jason Gaby is a respectable opponent. With his character, he will definitely go all out this year."

Ye Qin put down the mineral water in his hand, thought about it, and then replied, "His technique has been improving in recent years, and his personal strength has also improved. If there are no accidents in this year's World Championships, he should be very good. Performance."

Yechin still appreciates Jason Gaby.

The opponent is another key figure in the rise of American track and field after Jax Trin, who is absolutely top-notch in talent and strength. It has not been a long time since I entered the international track field in 2005 to become a professional athlete, but it has been making rapid progress almost every year.

Moreover, Jason Gaby is different from the previous Asafaville. This is a player with a firm will on the field. Facing the challenge of a strong opponent, his mentality may be affected, but he will never show up. Bring out the abnormal situation to a large extent.

In 2008, everyone probably knew that before the game, Jason Gaby was affected by the injury, but even so, he still bravely stood on the field, and at the end of the game, he did not retire and did not give up.

After the 4×100m relay of the US team was eliminated, he stood up and blocked the media's rhetoric for Davis Button and took the responsibility on himself.

In this sense, Jason Gaby's responsibility and courage are not trivial. An athlete can become a world-class athlete, in addition to personal talent and hard work, the inner strength is absolutely not to be ignored.

"By the way, how are you preparing?"

After talking about Jason Gaby, Yuan Guohua stubbornly asked about Yeqin's recent preparations.

It has been a week since the Asian Athletics Grand Prix. In this week, apart from attending a few small events, Yechin basically spent most of his time training on the training bureau's side according to the plan.

"Get ready..." Ye Qin dragged his voice slightly, "It feels okay, but I still have to play more to find the feeling."

Although the atmosphere of the third round of the Asian Athletics Grand Prix is ​​very good, Yechin still feels not so satisfied after the competition. The most important point is that there is no excitement from a strong opponent.

This is also his characteristic. The more large-scale events and the challenges of strong opponents, the more able to maintain concentration and face them in the best and most complete state.

"Then wait for a few days to go to Berlin, but there is one thing, we must pay attention to the aspect of running away in the future." Yuan Guohua nodded, and then ordered.

Ye Qin nodded. The rush run is really a big problem for the players. The IAAF's "zero rush run" plan has been released. Although it has not been implemented this year, it will be about half a year later. , The 2010 annual meeting will officially begin.

This is not so good news for sprinters. There are not many tactics that can be used in sprinting. For many runners, there is a chance to start a run that can be regarded as a fight. The way. Moreover, you may be able to eliminate a strong enemy accidentally and finally improve your ranking.

Like Ye Qin, he didn't pay much attention to this aspect before. He was a runner who listened to the gun, but after he was sent off for the Yanjing Olympics, he still had some lingering fears.

In this kind of large-scale competition, the eyes of all expectations, under internal and external pressure, will still leave an indelible impression. Although Ye Qin rarely talks about this, but occasionally wakes up in the middle of the night in his sleep, he will also think of it. thing.

In a few days, Yechin is going to Berlin to participate in the competition. It is still June, not the World Championships. The World Championships will have to wait until August.

Yeqin went to Berlin this time to participate in the IAAF Golden League Berlin station. As Berlin will host the World Championships this year, the time for the Golden League, which is usually held in the month of **, is more than two months away.

This is also for the needs of competition arrangements. The Berlin Golden League before the World Championships can also attract the attention of many spectators. It also attracts some top athletes to adapt to the venue in advance to participate. If you wait until the World Championships, there is no doubt that this The attractiveness of the Golden League will be greatly reduced.

One of the biggest reasons for Yechin's trip to Berlin to participate in the Golden League is to adapt to the venue in advance in Berlin. He has participated in many games in Stuttgart, Germany, but there are still relatively few in Berlin.

While the three of them were chatting about other players and the next game on the side of the training field, a pleasant cell phone ringing suddenly rang.

Yuan Guohua touched left and right in the spacious sportswear, took out a mobile phone and pressed the answer button. Soon Yuan Guohua's expression changed from calm to agitated. He also glanced at Ye Qin. There is an indescribable exclamation.

When Yuan Guohua put down the phone, both Chen Zhongzhou and Ye Qin asked curiously: "Coach Yuan, what's the matter?"

"Go, go, come back to the game with me."

Yuan Guohua was so excited that he grabbed Ye Qin's arm and said to the two unknown people as he walked, "Lawrence, the list of the Lawrence World Sports Awards is announced."

"Really?" Chen Zhongzhou couldn't help shouting from behind, "Who won the award?"

Ye Qin was also slightly stunned at this moment, and raised his head to look at Yuan Guohua.

The Lawrence World Sports Awards is known as the "Oscar of Sports." Although it is only the tenth idea since its establishment, its influence is obvious.

"Go back and talk about it." Yuan Guohua shook slightly at this time, "Their awards team has arrived."

"Ah? Everyone is here." Chen Zhongzhou yelled out of his voice.

When Ye Qin heard this, he felt that his heart was beating suddenly, vaguely expecting, but it was not he who was afraid that he would win the prize in the end.

When he faces foreigners, he can say that it is easier, if this one is not good, then the next one. But at this moment, I realized that my heart was far from calm as I imagined.

This is not a fight for the championship in one or two events, but a fight for the most outstanding athletes in all sports in the world. There are only 20 or 30 sports in the number of sports. In addition, there are so many other sports. A hundred. To be honest, the difficulty of this kind of award is much more difficult than that of Oscars or other comparable awards.

At the 2008 Lawrence World Sports Awards, Yechin and the World Footballer Kaka, Flying Fish Phelps, Tiger Woods and others all lost to tennis king Roger Federer.

Although Yeqin won the 1,200-meter championship and 400-meter silver medal in the 2007 World Championships, although he was eye-catching, his loss to Roger Federer was expected.

He didn't even think too much about knowing he was nominated at the time. Compared with other nominated players, he didn't have any advantage.

The 2009 Lawrence World Sports Awards selected individuals and groups with outstanding sports achievements from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008. With Yeqin's performance, his performance is undoubtedly better than the previous selection.

In the award for the best athlete, Yechin clearly knows that both Youssef Bot and Phelps are his rivals.

Especially Phelps, Youssé Bot lost to Yechin in the men's 100 meters at the Yanjing Olympics. After that, his performance in several European games was worse than Yechin. In this regard, Yechin is more competitive than Yousse Bot.

But in the face of Phelps, he set an unprecedented record in the Beijing Olympics. Behind the eight gold medals, he broke 7 world records and 1 Olympic record. Even though the 4x100 freestyle relay final is still Phelps almost brewing. The success or failure, and the weird underwater photography of the 100 butterfly finals, some people doubt the content of this gold medal, but his overall performance is undoubtedly wonderful.

In addition, the new football player Cristiano Ronaldo and Hamilton, the youngest player to win the F1 world championship in history, are all very competitive athletes.

Ye Qin even faintly felt in his heart that there should be little hope for this year, and he may have to accompany him for another year. The other party's eight gold medals are by no means comparable to him.

But even if the individual can't get it, it's not bad to have the best team get it. After all, the awarding team has arrived in Yanjing, and it will certainly not be for nothing.

...

In the evening, in the press release hall of the General Administration of Training, the background board of the Lawrence Sports Awards and various propaganda poster roll-up banners were temporarily hung, which made many reporters who received the notice feel a different kind of atmosphere.

Due to the impact of the financial crisis, the 2009 Lawrence World Sports Awards did not have a general awards ceremony. Compared with the awards ceremony in Moscow, Russia last year, the *** attended the awards in person. There is no doubt that it is not a little bit inferior.

But even so, on the side of Yanjing, the domestic attention has reached a very high standard, and the award ceremony organized is still very grand.

Deng Yaping, the first-generation ping-pong king, took the stage to preside over the award ceremony. First, he introduced the origin and importance of the Lawrence Sports Awards, and then the formal awards session began.

When Cui Dailin, secretary-general of the Yenching Olympics delegation, received the trophy from Edwin Moses, chairman of the Lawrence World Sports Association, the audience received the warmest applause.

The Chinese Olympic delegation won the 2009 Lawrence Best Team Award for its outstanding performance in the Beijing Olympics. At the Yenching Olympics, the Chinese Olympic delegation created the best Olympic performance ever. During the two-week Olympics, it demonstrated its amazing skills and strong determination to the world.

After receiving the Best Team Award, many Olympic champions took photos as gold medal all-stars, and star athletes and gold medals took photos one by one.

At this time, many reporters who participated in the meeting discovered something different.

"Where is Ye Qin?"

Among the crowd, many reporters looked at the athletes who took photos with the best team trophy, and suddenly realized that they were missing the most important person.

Yeqin, who won two gold medals in the Olympics, did not appear on the scene.

At this moment, many people even wondered whether it was because Yeqin failed to win the best athlete, and he was disappointed not to participate in the award ceremony of the best team award.

After all, after the Asian Grand Prix ended, Ye Qin stayed in the General Training Bureau for training during this period. Many people know that.

Moreover, it is really difficult to talk about Yechin's desire to be the best sportsman in Lawrence this year.

Phelps has been shortlisted for the fourth time in Lawrence's best sports athlete candidate. His performance last year is obvious to all, even if Yechin did not foul out in the men's 200m event, he broke the three most watched men on the track The world record of the project, but between 3 gold medals and 8 gold medals, no one can ignore the quantitative difference.

After an Olympic gold medalist took the stage and took a group photo with the best team trophy, everyone thought that it was probably Deng Yaping, who was in charge of the host, giving a speech, and that was probably the end.

But at this moment, everyone discovered that the award ceremony did not end.

Edwin Moses, chairman of the Lawrence World Sports Association, once again took out a card from his arms, and in the eyes of the reporters, announced the winner of the 10th Lawrence World Sports Award for Best Male Athlete in 2009.

"Yechin!"

When Edwin Moses pronounced the name without accent, the audience was silent at first, and then there was an extremely warm applause.

The best male athlete of the Lawrence World Sports Awards did not reveal the real answer until this moment.

Phelps, Cristiano Ronaldo, Hamilton and Youssé Bot, who were favored by the outside world, eventually lost to Yechin.

After Edwin Moses finished reading the list of winners, the reporters present finally saw Yeqin appear.

This time, Ye Qin did not wear sportswear like other athletes, but appeared in front of everyone in a black suit.

When Ye Qin appeared with the click of the shutter button, all the reporters' cameras pointed at Ye Qin.

In addition to this time the Chinese Olympic delegation won the best team accident, Chinese athletes had previously won the Lawrence Award twice, that is, Dayao and Liu Yangyu won the Best Newcomer Award in 2003 and 2005 respectively.

And the best male athlete in the true sense, until Ye Qin appeared at this moment, is considered to be truly won.

When Yechin took over the Cartier statue trophy from the previous generation of flying man Michael Johnson, he felt like he had won a gold medal.

He really did not expect ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ until after returning to the training bureau, Yuan Guohua hurried back to clean up and tidy up, only to learn the news of his award.

Yeqin was somewhat surprised at first that he would win the Lawrence World Sports Award. After all, he knew the gap and weight between them.

But then Yu Weili came over and gave him a brief explanation, and he realized that there were a lot of fluke factors in his being able to win the prize.

Judging from the organization of the Lawrence Athletic Association, since it was founded by an American company, although in the face of the two recognized kings of sports, swimming and track and field, the Lawrence World Athletic Association did not show signs of contempt for any party in history, but since it is The funds behind the American companies are supported, and Phelps' results can withstand the test. It can be said that Yechin's initial competitive posture is not optimistic.

The real reversal came at the beginning of this year, that is, when a British reporter exposed the shots of Phelps smoking marijuana, one stone caused a thousand waves. The crisis public relations of the Phelps team has reached its limit, and Phelps admits his fault. The attitude is also quite sincere, but as far as the Lawrence award is concerned, he immediately slipped from the top spot to a role as a foil to the shortlist even if he completes the task.

Although on the surface this is only the selection of the best sports player of the year, this selection has long been out of the scope of pure competition. Former South African President Nelson Mandela said: "Sports has the power to change the world" as the spokesperson of this power. The image of top players should be positive, and what they convey to the society should also be a positive and motivating effect. What's more, those who are passionate about sports are often young people. The words and deeds of the players are very important to these worldviews. Immature young people have too much influence, and when Phelps lifts the pipe so naturally and casually, he is doomed to miss the Lawrence Best Male Athlete award.
