Born to Run

"The list of participants for the IAAF Golden League Berlin station has been released!"

On June 12, in the VIP lounge of Yanjing International Airport, Chen Zhongzhou holding a laptop, looking at the newly refreshed list of contestants, turned to Ye Qin and Zhuang Wei who were not far away. .

"Who are there to participate?" Zhuang Wei was leaning on the side of his seat with some boredom. Hearing what Chen Zhongzhou said, he immediately became energetic and moved his chubby body closer to Chen Zhongzhou and asked.

Chen Zhongzhou pointed at the computer screen, "You can see it for yourself."

"Danielbailey, marcburns..." Zhuang Wei's big face occupies almost the entire laptop screen, watching the lines of English names that jump out, chewing with some effort.

It took a long time to come back to his senses, and looked at Chen Zhongzhou and asked, "This...it seems like there are no Jamaican players. There is only one Monzavo Edwards in the United States. Is that correct translation?"

"Yes, Master Zhuang, it seems that your English is good!"

Chen Zhongzhou watched Zhuang Wei's words with a little effort, but he nodded along with him, "This is the list of men's 100m players, Daniel Bailey, Simon Williamson, Mark Burns, these players have their names translated. You should be clear. And there are indeed no Jamaican athletes, and there are fewer athletes from the US."

"Why is this?" Zhuang Wei turned away, and glanced at the computer screen. He knew the official website of the IAAF, but the website of the Golden League in Berlin was a bit strange.

Ye Qin, who was listening to music with earphones next to him, put the earphones down at this time, and when he heard Zhuang Wei's words, he suddenly laughed, "Youssé Bot and Jason Gaby can't meet them so quickly. Probably have to wait until after July."

Seeing Zhuang Wei still a little puzzled, Ye Qin added again, "It's probably time for the U.S. Outdoor Track and Field Championships and Jamaican National Track and Field Championships in mid to late June."

"It turned out to be so."

Hearing Yeqin’s explanation, Zhuang Wei understood it at this time, “That means that this time Yeqin’s challenge to the IAAF Million Dollar Award is still very promising. At least this first stop should be very promising. Go well."

The rules for American athletes to participate in the Championships and the Olympics are basically the same. Except for those who were able to get wild cards from the previous World Championships, the three places are for athletes who have won the top three U.S. Championships in individual events.

The Jamaica General Championships basically follow this approach in this regard, but they are relatively flexible, and some outstanding players still have room for manipulation.

In recent years, China has tried this method in the national championships, but at present, there are not many athletes who can meet the ab standards of the World Championships and the Olympics. Basically, it is still the priority to achieve the ab standards for the competition.

Zhuang Wei knows more or less about the US Championships and the Dental Championships. Naturally, he understands that at this point in time, there are still fewer players from the two countries who will really come to Europe to compete. The priority goals are all set. At the domestic championships.

"The million-dollar reward must be tried this time."

Ye Qin was also very interested in the IAAF Golden League Prize that Zhuang Wei mentioned. Now he is not completely focusing on the bonus, but this honor is worth the challenge.

In 2006, Asafaville and Jason Gaby won all six Golden League victories in the men's 100 meters and men's 400 meters and shared the million-dollar prize.

This was a great improvement in enhancing the dominance of the two in their respective events. After all, it is not simple for track and field athletes to maintain an excellent state in every game.

Ye Chin also wanted to try it in 2007, but because of the Osaka World Championships, the final challenge did not continue after a few stops.

This year he believes that the challenge and competition in the Golden League will definitely become more intense, whether it is himself or other players, the overall level will be greatly improved.

The project he chose to challenge for the Million Dollar Award this time is the men’s 100m. Basically all track and field events organizers will set up the men’s 100m and men’s 400m events, but the men’s 200m event, because of the first two, Considering the number of athletes participating, it is often not set.

Otherwise, what Yeqin wants to try this time is actually the men's 200m. For him, the men’s 200 meters is an important project to start. The two-time World Championships champion established his position in this project, but unfortunately last year’s Olympics, he failed to continue this dominance in the end. -Bot won the championship and broke the world record.

"Lost, I must take it back."

Ye Qin meditated in his heart a classic line from a Hong Kong movie he had watched in his youth. Although he was still waiting at the airport, his heart seemed to have jumped to the men's 200-meter stadium at the Berlin World Championships a few months later.

There is a gold medal and a record waiting for him.

...

On June 14, the Berlin Olympic Stadium.

The first stadium to host the 1936 Summer Olympics is the largest international stadium in Germany. During the 1936 Olympics, it was thought that there was a record attendance rate of 100,000 people.

Since its refurbishment in 2004, the Berlin Olympic Stadium has more than 74,000 live seats and is the most prestigious stadium in the world.

This stadium will also be the venue for the IAAF World Athletics Championships to be held in August this year.

One of the most important reasons why Ye Qin came to participate in the Golden League in Berlin this time was to adapt to the venue in advance.

For track and field athletes, it is not uncommon to participate in the field in advance, but the organizers of the Berlin Golden League still give very high standards for Yechin to participate.

From the pick-up service after getting off the plane, to hotel arrangements and pre-match warm-up arrangements, they were all handled in an orderly manner.

"Today there are still a lot of audiences, and your influence in Europe is increasing day by day."

In the player lounge, just arrived at the venue to start warming up. Chen Zhongzhou, who had already arrived earlier, looked at Ye Qin and couldn't help but said with a smile on his face.

Compared with the scene when he participated in the competition a few years ago, Ye Chin, who has become the world's number one track and field star, naturally has a different influence at this time.

Asia is Yeqin's basic set. In this year's event that Yeqin appeared in Asia, even his former competitor, Japan, can cause a huge sensation.

After the Olympics, Yechin’s influence in Europe last year has risen by more than one level, especially in the face of the challenges of the two major players, Youssé Bot and Asafaville, and finally won, which made Europe a lot. Athletics enthusiasts and ordinary people are beginning to know his name.

"Then I should give the audience a good performance." Ye Qin looked at Chen Zhongzhou's excitement and smiled back.

He really thinks so. The players in this game are not strong. What he needs more is self-challenge and self-breakthrough.

For this year's World Championships, Yeqin no longer adopts the method of preparing for last year's Olympics, which reduces competitions and waits for the competition, but prepares to start from this month, all the way to the final World Championships.

There are many benefits to coming to participate in the Golden League in Berlin in advance. In addition to adapting to the needs of the venue, if this game can completely conquer the audience who come to watch the game, wait until the World Championships two months later, then the wind direction of the entire stadium will fall. he.

In this regard, athletes are actually the same.

After reaching a certain level of strength, home games and away games are completely different mentalities. In the Yanjing Olympics, the Chinese delegation was able to rush to the first place in the gold medal list. In addition to the unprecedented attention of various sports teams, the most critical point is the home game.

In the competitive arena, many players will be affected by external emotions. When the crowd cheers for you and look forward to your performance, many players will be full of enthusiasm in that scene and have wonderful performances beyond ordinary people.

Of course, it’s not that there are people who can’t bear this kind of pressure and lead to abnormal performance. It’s just that, in comparison, athletes who can reach the top are basically a group of outstanding individuals in terms of their personal mentality.

17 o'clock in the afternoon.

After the men's 1500m and women's 100m hurdles have ended successively, the men's 100m hurdle, the heaviest class, will finally start in the anxious wait of the audience as the penultimate race.

When Yeqin's figure appeared on the track and field track, it ignited the atmosphere of the entire arena almost immediately.

Many spectators at the scene even spontaneously raised the long-prepared kt board with Ye Chin's name and portrait, and kept jumping in the crowd.

Many of them are spectators who watched Yechin's performance in the IAAF Finals in Stuttgart last year, and now they have gradually become a member of Yechin's fans.

For track and field enthusiasts, the time they may have known Yechin can be traced back to the 2005 World Championships in Helsinki, in which Yechin won the 200m championship for the first time unexpectedly.

For many ordinary people, or people who don't pay attention to track and field competitions, Yechin is almost like being born out of nowhere.

After the Olympics ended, the whole world seemed to know him all at once.

From Asia to Europe, many races have not only let people know the 100-meter world trapeze of Xinke, but also let everyone know whether he can break the 100-meter world record held by him.

There are also many TV stations such as bbc and Fox, as well as some large and small media newspapers. Regarding Ye Qin's birth and growth, as well as previous competitions, the entire growth record is like an inspirational movie.

In particular, some reports that deliberately or unintentionally in the black country have portrayed Ye Qin's childhood and teenage growth as how brutal and inhumane.

Although Yeqin looked a little helpless in this regard, he had clarified with the media audience many times, but some readers could not bear to like this kind of plot.

The young man who crawled out of the dark abyss finally stood on the top of the world with his own hard work and courage. Such a story is loved and heard no matter at home or abroad.

When exaggerating, even many foreign lawyer teams jumped out to join in the fun, willing to file a lawsuit for Ye Qin and so on.

It is this kind of inspirational experience and the achievements that have made Yeqin's popularity reach a new high.

There is almost nothing about nationality and nationality. The creation of each world record no longer represents only individuals and countries, but the limits that humans can reach.

9 seconds 5, 9 seconds 4, 9 seconds 3... Or one day humans can run into 9 seconds? !

All possible and impossible are born in this runway!

...

After stepping onto the runway, Ye Qin first waved to the surrounding audience, and made a landmark gesture with his hands facing the sky, and then began to seriously check the starting blocks and other equipment.

This was specifically emphasized by Yuan Guohua when he came to the European competition. He is now focusing on the world's attention and doing his best in every detail.

Ye Qin adjusted the starting blocks and tried two more runs on the track, then stood in front of the starting line and waited quietly for the signal to start the race.

The IAAF Golden League in Berlin, originally known as the Berlin International Athletics Championships, can be regarded as the most historic of many track and field events.

It started in 1921. During this long decade, due to some special war and political factors, it was interrupted, but it was finally able to start again.

But this time as a stop in the IAAF Golden League, it is likely and will be the last stop.

After the IAAF Diamond League was officially put on the agenda, because some aspects of the Berlin station could not meet the standards of the elite track and field events, starting in 2010, it will be downgraded and reduced to the second level of the IAAF World Challenge. Part.

The Berlin International Athletics Championships have created many historical records in history, including the 100 meters twice. One time was the women's 100m world record of 11.6 seconds set by Polish player Nisława Varasevic in 1937.

The other time was the 9-second 9-second men's 100-meter world record set by American trapeze Steve Williams in 1975.

It is worth mentioning that Polish player Nisława Varasevic was killed in an armed robbery in a parking lot in Cleveland on December 4, 1980. After her death, her body showed that she was not a woman in the full sense of the word. There are many male characteristics, and there is controversy about whether her records and achievements should be deleted.

"Onyourmarks!"

Inside the director of the Berlin Olympic Stadium, a voice reminded the players to take their place.

In the boiling stadium, it gradually became quiet.

The nine runners paid attention to walking on the approach, keeping their bodies still, and quietly listening to the next instructions.

"Set!"

Snapped!

After a gunshot, the nine athletes in front of the starting line quickly started to accelerate.

In this men's 100-meter race, Yeqin didn't know many opponents. Among them, Daniel Bailey knew him, and the opponent and Yousseh Bot had a very close relationship, and Yeqin had also dealt with.

In addition, Marc Burns of Trinidad and Tobago, Ronald Ponnon of France and others are all considered to have overlapped in the arena.

However, although he is familiar with these contestants, he quickly surpassed everyone and entered a new level since he entered the men's 100m event.

Ye Qin didn't start fast in this gun game. He only started to accelerate after hearing the sound of the gunshots.

However, with his superb speed acceleration ability in the first half, after forty meters, Ye Qin gradually began to surpass his opponents and began to run to the first place in the team.

To his surprise, Daniel Bailey was in a very good state in this game, and he followed Yeqin closely at the forty meters.

But after 50 meters, Daniel Bailey gradually lost Yechin's absolute speed and the ability to maintain the speed in the second half.

Daniel Bailey's starting and explosive power are very good, when Youssé Bot began to transfer to the men's 100 meters event when the two were training together, he was often completely abused by him.

In the live audience, there were more than 30,000 and nearly 40,000 spectators. After the gunshots rang out, they all became completely excited.

Especially after Yeqin took the lead from forty to fifty meters, the speed demonstrated has aroused the madness of many track and field fans!

Seventy meters, eighty meters, ninety meters...

Ye Qin gradually opened up the distance with the other runners behind him. In this 100-meter run, he was slightly slower except for the start, and basically ran very smoothly!

Cross the line!

When Yeqin's figure crossed the finish line and Yeqin's result appeared on the time card on the spot, the whole venue boiled again.

Many people came to see the Golden League, waiting for this Olympic champion and world record holder in the men's 100m race, and now the results have not disappointed them!

The yellow electronic number clearly appears on the timer card, 9 seconds 75!

This is a new tournament record for the Berlin International Athletics Championships. The previous men's 100-meter record in UU Reading www.uukanshu.com was 9.86 seconds set by Morris Green in 2000 and Asafaville in 2006.

After this game, the Berlin International Track and Field Championship, the final year of the Golden League, officially entered the men's 100m event record within 9 seconds 80.

Although it did not break the world record of the Yenching Olympics, this result was a world record two years ago. So far, the total number of people who can run within 9 seconds and 80 in the international track is only Yechin and Yousse Bot. , Jason Gaby, Jax Trin, Asafaville and the previous generation trapeze Mosley Green.

This is an absolute sprint trapeze field, able to step into less than 9 seconds 80, and have the strength to compete for the championship in any major competition.

After Ye Qin finished the men's 100 meters run, both the audience and reporters in the venue saw Ye Qin's excellent state.

In fact, everyone knows that before the World Championships, the players will warm up through various Grand Prix Golden Leagues, but few people thought that Yechin would have such an outstanding performance in this year's first European landing. .

In the past few years, in the era of Asafaville, people talked about the fact that Asafaville was able to run within 9 seconds 90 almost casually.

And now, a new era begins.

9.90 is no longer a topic worth discussing. It is becoming more and more common for top athletes to run within 9.80.

"9.75 seconds doesn't seem to take much effort. In the World Championships in this stadium two months later, what kind of results can Yechin achieve at that time? As Yechin's most powerful challenger, Yousseh- Bot and Jason Gaby, what good performance will they have?"

At this time, countless people who saw this game had such thoughts in their hearts.
