Born to Run

"19.59 seconds! Unbelievable results. The incredible Youssé Bot surpassed his opponent by 20 or 30 meters in just 200 meters. It is an amazing state!

This is the second best result in the men's 200 meters of the year. Youssé Bot has proved his ability in this event with his absolute strength. I think if Yechin or Jason Gaby are watching this For a game, then you need to be vigilant..."

On July 7, Rome, Italy, in a high-end hotel suite.

Ye Qin and Chen Zhongzhou are sitting in front of the TV watching the 2009 Lausanne Super Grand Prix broadcast on the TV.

The TV screen is showing the end of the men’s 200-meter race. In the footage, a tall young black man in a white sprint suit is standing in front of the time card score and making his iconic bow and arrow. Iconic action pointing to the sky.

Although separated by the screen, even sitting in front of the TV, you can still feel the frenetic atmosphere of the Lausanne Super Grand Prix scene.

In the IAAF World Tour, the Lausanne Super Grand Prix has always been extremely popular with athletes. There are also many viewers watching local TV channels in Europe, and the radiation is far more than a small Switzerland.

Looking at Youssé Bot on the TV screen, Chen Zhongzhou frowned slightly, and turned to look sideways at Ye Qin, who was silent beside him, and said lightly: "Youssé Bot is in a very good state. This result is totally different from his previous results in the Jamaica General Championships."

Ye Qin picked up the remote control and turned down the volume on the TV. After a while, there will be the men's 100m race at the Lausanne Super Grand Prix. He is still going to watch it again.

Hearing Chen Zhongzhou talking about the status of Youssé-Bot, Yeqin couldn't help showing a faint smile, and replied: "He probably didn't have any opponents in this year's Jamaica Championship, so he was lazy."

Previously, the results of the Jamaica General Championships were passed. Youssé Bot ran 9 seconds 86 in the men's 100 meters and 20.25 s in the 200 meters. Both results can show that Youssé Bot has a lot of performance. Reserved.

After all, although Jamaica has made rapid progress in track and field in the past two years, apart from Asafaville who was barely able to challenge the current Youssé Bot, everyone else is still completely unqualified.

At the level of Yechin and Yousse Bot, athletes can basically get the first place in any domestic competition, and then they can cross the finish line by releasing water.

In this year's Lausanne Super Grand Prix, Youssé Bot was in the men's 200m race, Yechin could see that Youssé Bot was still serious about running. It's hard to say whether you are going all out, but in terms of results and performance, at least not too lax.

The biggest reason...

Ye Qin saw the live camera swept past the body of a black athlete who won the second place in the game. The opponent's look seemed a little frustrated and unbelievable. From the perspective of the TV camera, he occasionally speculated that the black athlete is now from time to time. Looking at Youssé Bot in front of the timing card.

This athlete is no one else, but also Yechin's old acquaintance, Sean Merritt, who has an amazing performance in the men's 400m event.

This year's Lausanne Super Grand Prix Sean Merritt did not participate in the men's 400m race, but instead participated in the men's 200m race.

It is no secret among many track and field athletes that Sean Merritt once set foot on track in order to continue his brother's dream. Everyone actually respects this point.

It's just that Sean Merritt's character is really not very likable. He is a typical big mouth and often provokes other players. Before the Lausanne Super Grand Prix, Sean Merritt said he could beat Youssé Bot.

In the end, Youssé Bot seemed to be irritated and became uncharacteristically serious in the Lausanne Grand Prix.

The result of the game is also obvious. Youssé Bot won the championship with a time of 19.59.59, while the second-placed Sean Merritt's final time was 20.41.

When the two crossed the finish line at the end, they were almost tens of meters apart.

After watching Youssé Bot cross the finish line, pat his chest, open his hands to meet the cheers of the audience, it is conceivable that Sean Merritt is in an absolutely uncomfortable mood at this time.

"If Youssé Bot really wants to try the 400m next year, maybe he can really make a breakthrough!"

Seeing that the TV screen switched to the next game, Ye Qin turned to Chen Zhongzhou and said with a smile.

"His height and the ability to maintain speed are really good. It should be said that running for 45 seconds is no problem." Chen Zhongzhou nodded, "But according to his personality, if he really wants to try 400 meters, I'm afraid it is too. It’s difficult. Of course, it’s not easy to say. After all, if you beat him in the men's 100m and 200m at this year's Berlin World Championships, he will still want to beat you in other events."

In 2009, athletes from all walks of life challenged Yeqin as an encirclement and suppression. From 100 meters to 200 meters to 400 meters, almost many athletes are trying and launching challenges.

Yechin knows that Yousei Bot is resistant to the hard work of 400 meters training, but if you really lose to himself in the 100 meters and 200 meters at the World Championships in Berlin, there is really no guarantee that Youssei Bot will be able to play. I don't want to try to challenge him on the 400 meters.

After all, this year Youssé Bot, Jason Gaby, and even Asafaville tried to run 400 meters.

Based on Yechin's understanding of Yousse Bot, the opponent's seemingly giggling appearance, in fact, has an almost crazy pursuit for the championship. With this kind of strong spirit, if some projects fail, it is difficult to say whether they will be transformed into more other projects.

For athletes of their level, the difference between them is limited. What Yeqin can do is hard to say that others cannot.

In the hotel room, Ye Qin and Chen Zhongzhou discussed the men's 200-meter race just now in a low voice, followed by the men's 110-meter hurdle race.

There was no participation of Liu Yangyu in this game. After the Yanjing Olympics, Liu Yangyu's injuries were still repeated, and this year is basically in the stage of treatment.

The contestants mainly revolved around Dai Long-Robos and American player Dexter Fokker. In the end, Robes was better and won the Super Grand Prix with a time of 13.18 seconds. , Dexter Fokker ranked second with 13.21 seconds.

After that, there were several women's races, and the last one was the men's 100m race.

There are also two groups AB, this year's men's 100 meters event has more contestants than in previous years, and the organizers have to make such arrangements.

Although Yechin did not go to Lausanne to compete, and Youssé Bot only participated in the men's 200m race, but the 100m as the most popular event still attracted the attention of many spectators.

However, this year’s Lausanne Super Grand Prix’s men’s 100-meter race is not high overall. Although Asafaville participated in the men’s 100-meter race, it is unknown whether it is due to injuries or the overall low level of other players. The result of 10 seconds 07 won the A group championship. The winner of Group B was won by Kurandi Martina of the Netherlands Antilles with a time of 10.16 seconds.

Just as Yeqin and Chen Zhongzhou had almost finished watching the entire Lausanne Super Grand Prix in the hotel room, there was a knock on the door of the hotel.

After Chen Zhongzhou got up and opened the door, two middle-aged men in shirts and trousers walked outside the door. As soon as they saw Ye Qin, the one leading him walked to Ye Qin with great enthusiasm and extended his right hand to him.

"Now I want to see your kid, but it's really not easy!"

"Guide Ye, guide Zhou!"

Seeing the two people walking in outside the door, Ye Qin warmed up and shook hands with the two of them, stepped aside, and let them sit down on the sofa in the room.

"Time really flies so fast, Ye Qin, you have come to where you are today."

As soon as he sat down, one of the middle-aged men said with some emotion.

"Yeah, the Maotou boy at that time is now an international star." Another middle-aged man with a slightly fat figure echoed, and there was also a sorrow in his words.

"Director Ye, Director Zhou, if it weren't for your care for me, I couldn't have been where I am today."

Hearing the two sighs, Ye Qin smiled. He didn't feel that the other party was making friendships, but said to them very sincerely.

The two middle-aged people in front of them are not others, but Ye Lidong and Zhou Bin, who have played an important role in Ye Qin's entire growth career.

In 2003, in order to give Yeqin a chance to participate in the World Junior Championships, Nie Fangping took Ye Qin to Yanjing. It was Ye Lidong's board that made Yeqin join the World Junior Championships team.

That was the first time Yechin participated in a world-class competition. From a rural teenager, he went to Yanjing for the first time, and then went to Sherbrooke, Canada for the first time. It can be said that that was the most important step to change the trajectory of his life.

In that World Junior Championship, Ye Qin saw the best group of neighbors in the world. They galloped on the field, allowing Ye Qin to completely open his eyes.

It was also in the World Junior Tournament that Yeqin met Youssé Bot, who was still a little immature at the time. At that time, Yeqin was still unknown and no one had ever heard of it. And Youssé Bot is already Jamaica's rising track and field star, known as "Mike and Johnson's successor."

Under the circumstances that everyone is not optimistic, Yechin, who entered the international competition for the first time, won two bronze medals in men's 200 meters and men's 400 meters, becoming the first Chinese athlete to win medals in a world-class sprint competition. .

It can be said that the World Junior Championships that year made a huge change for Ye Qin. If there is no chance to compete, Ye Qin should eventually be able to get out of the domestic arena, but there is no doubt that this speed will be much slower.

Many media are reporting that Yeqin can succeed and reach the height it is today. In addition to personal talent and sufficient hard work, to a large extent, it has something to do with winning the competition at that time. He started directly from the world-class competition, avoided some stumblings in the domestic system, broadened his horizons, and set goals.

And here, whether it is Ye Lidong or Zhou Bin, both of them have provided very important help to Ye Qin.

"Guide Ye, guide Zhou, drink water!"

While Ye Qin was talking to the two instructors, Chen Zhongzhou had already got up and poured two cups of tea for the two.

"Xiao Chen, we are not outsiders, so you are welcome."

Ye Lidong got up and took the boiled water from Chen Zhongzhou, took a sip, and continued with a smile, "I'm out of the house and want to drink tea. You will come to my office when Yanjing arrives."

"Yeah, there are a lot of good teas in Director Ye." Zhou Bin said with a smile next to him.

"The feeling is good!" Chen Zhongzhou smiled and took the seat, and said again, "Director Ye, Director Zhou, we should have been watching you in the past, but we couldn't get away from preparing for the game before the game. I didn't expect you to come over."

"Similarly, we know your schedule time, but it's not too late to cheer up our young athletes when you finish on the 10th." Ye Lidong waved his hand and replied with a smile.

This year's sixth World Junior Championships will be held in Bressanone, Italy, from July 8th to July 12th. Bressanone is not far from Rome. The two learned that Yechin had arrived in Rome and were preparing to participate in the Golden League in Rome on July 10, so they made a special trip to see Yechin.

"That's definitely necessary. Why did I come out of the World Junior Championships." Yeqin smiled and nodded. His schedule afterwards is still relatively clear. After the Golden League in Rome on July 10, there will be another one in Athens on July 13. Grand Prix, but Yeqin is not ready to participate. He will then go directly to Paris to participate in the Paris Golden League on July 17. There will be a few days in between, enough for him to catch up with the two days after the World Junior Championships.

"Is there any prospects for the competition in Italy this time? I heard that this time the track and field team selected many outstanding athletes to participate in the competition." Ye Qin had already heard that the contestants in this World Junior Championship were Selected from the National Junior Track and Field Championships, but he has not specifically paid attention to the results.

"I dare not say the prospect of this World Junior Championship." Ye Lidong took a sip of boiling water, and then continued, "In the past few years, the domestic track and field, especially the sprint event, has been very hot, but there are really some good seedlings. ."

This is the real situation in China. Since Liu Yangyu won the men's 110m hurdles Olympic champion in 2004, track and field have become popular in China, and the sudden emergence of Ye Chin has exacerbated this situation. After the Yenching Olympics, sprinting has become the focus of many local teams.

Last year, Su Bingtian won the men's 100m championship in the World Youth Championship in Bydgoszcz, giving many people the feeling that China's men's sprint spot is a newcomer.

"The two of us think it's hard to talk about other events, but the men's 200m event should have a chance to win a medal." Zhou Bin added.

"Can there be players with medals?"

Ye Qin's eyes lit up slightly. Although the World Junior Championships seem to be a relatively low-level competition, if the World Junior Championships can get a medal, this is enough to prove that the athletes' potential and talent are worth training.

"Well, the talent is good." Zhou Bin nodded seriously, "Of course, compared to your performance in the 200 meters back then, it's still a bit worse."

"This is a wicked evildoer, what are you better than." Ye Lidong interjected with a smile beside him, and then looked at Ye Qin. "Although your performance was good at the beginning, it was not too outstanding compared to other athletes. The key lies in your growth behind you. Speed, this is the most amazing. You have enough talent, and enough self-discipline and hard work. Everything you deserve today is what you deserve."

Ye Qin's 200m men's final in the World Junior Championships was 21 seconds ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ ranked third. By the time of the World Youth Championship a year later, Ye Chin had been able to run into the men's 200m A mark in the Olympics, and finished sixth in the final with 20.39 seconds.

It can be said that from 2003 to 2004 was the real explosive year for Ye Chin. During this year, he was stimulated by many conditions such as training specialization, increasing participation, and physical development. The performance has grown by leaps and bounds, surpassing the threshold that many athletes cannot cross in their entire lives.

"Mr. Ye, you've been praised." Ye Qin was a little bit embarrassed when he was praised face to face by acquaintances. He turned the subject off and said, "If I don't have time, I will definitely go over and take a look."

According to Zhou Bin's statement, he was worse than him in the 200 meters, and he was almost able to run to 21.30 or so. If there are no enchanting players in this World Championship, it is really possible to get the place.

In the World Junior Championships that year, Ye Qin finished third with 21.12 seconds and second with 21.04. He still remembers the results clearly. The champion is Youssé Bot, who is now entangled with him, with a perverted 20.40.

At that time, Youssef Bot was really alone in the youth competition. His superb physical condition could not be compared with almost his peers, even athletes a few years older.

"Then you can definitely come. The time for the men's 200m final is the afternoon of the 12th." Ye Lidong said with a smile.

This is also the purpose of the two people coming here to visit this year. The time for Yechin's Rome Golden League game is only one day on July 10. As the idol of the younger generation of Chinese athletes, Yechin will be able to play less games in the next two days. The young players participating in the World Junior Championships are undoubtedly a huge incentive.
