Born to Run

Chapter 564: 400m semifinals

The next day, August 19th.

"Jason Gaby went to the Berlin Hospital for an emergency check last night?"

When Ye Qin received the news at the station, he couldn't help but froze for a while, and then asked Chen Zhongzhou next to him: "So, he might miss the men's 200m semi-finals tonight?"

"It's possible." Chen Zhongzhou nodded. "Several foreign media reporters are reporting that he may be strained in the groin again, so he may miss the game. Well, of course, some media think it may be Jason Gaby. Fear to face you and Youssé Bot, so I'm trying to find an excuse to avoid the game."

"That's impossible."

Yeqin shook his head, "If Jason Gaby doesn't want to face me and Youssef Bot, he can just retire in the first round of preliminaries."

As he said, Yeqin groaned slightly, and continued, "Jason Gaby is a very hard-spirited person. Even in the face of pressure, he may have various ideas, but retiring should not be his priority. select."

"That's true too!"

Chen Zhongzhou followed along with the road. Since Jason Gaby stepped onto the track and field, the storm he has experienced is not small. Like the Helsinki World Championship in 2005, in the men's 4×100m relay, Jason Gaby The transfer baton with Leonard Scott made a mistake. And last year’s Yenching Olympics, Jason Gaby and Davis Button’s handover mistakes, the problem is not entirely Jason Gaby, but he all stood up in front of the media generously and admitted that it was. I failed to do it well.

After the defeat of the Yanjing Olympics last year, he also expressed his disappointment in front of many American track and field fans.

In general, Jason Gaby is not active in his influence, and occasionally speaks out loudly, but that is the performance of athletes who are absolutely confident in themselves. In fact, in the words of Chinese, it can be regarded as He is a man.

At the same time, Youssé Bot also received the news in the Jamaica team's resident.

Youssé Bot was still a little bit confused about the news, and then faced Glenn Mills and others, still feeling that the other party might return to the arena.

There is no reason for him. A player who wants to challenge and compete against Yechin at 100 meters, 200 meters and 400 meters does not think that the opponent is fleeing timidly.

Of course, if it is really due to injuries, then naturally there is nothing to say.

In Yousse Bot’s mind, he actually doesn’t want Jason Gaby to withdraw from the men’s 200-meter race. In the previous years, he and Jason Gaby have played against each other many times, including 200 meters. The project has lost to Jason Gaby many times. After his rise, he has not yet had a good run with Jason Gaby in the 200m event. He hopes to have such a chance.

Outside time, various news about gold wins reported by the media, and some unpleasant encounters with athletes.

The time soon arrived at night, and the hustle and bustle of the Berlin Stadium remained the same, with brilliant lights.

The World Championships has entered its fifth day, and various attractive competitions have gradually kicked off, and the feverish atmosphere of the track and field competition has completely ignited the city.

The broadcasting rights of the tournament were sold to 213 countries and regions, creating a record high in the history of the World Championships. In each day's championship ratings, the German audience has reached 5 million.

In the men's 100-meter final and the women's high jump final, they reached 9.9 million and 8.6 million respectively. The average number of spectators in France is 3.5-4 million, the United Kingdom is 2.5-3.5 million, and Japan is four to five million. As for China, the statistics have not yet been fully calculated, but basically everyone can guess that it will be an astronomical figure.

The IAAF website received a record number of page hits, with more than 100 unique IP visits every day.

After the men’s 100m final on August 16th, both the IAAF and the organizing committee had previously expected to start a new round of ratings and Internet click-through rates.

Because starting on the 19th, both men's 400 meters and men's 200 meters will enter the semi-finals.

As the number one superstar of the current men’s sprint event, countless people are paying attention to his performance in the two semifinals. As for the finals of the next two days, let alone naturally, especially the 200m event, everyone believes it is possible. The ratings will not be lower than that of men's 100 meters.

In the 2008 Yanjing Olympics, Yeqin's failure in the men's 200m event left everyone regrets not only for the Chinese audience, but also for many track and field enthusiasts in Europe and America.

They hoped for the world's highest level duel, which could not be staged at that time and could only be left this year.

At 18:15 in the evening, the men's 400m semi-finals officially began.

Yeqin is in the third group of the men's 400m semi-finals tonight, and the game will be held on August 29.

After finishing the men's 400m semi-finals with him, there is basically less than an hour to rest, and he will continue to participate in the next men's 200m semifinals.

People all over the world know that tonight's game is a challenge for Ye Qin.

Even many spectators who hope to see Yeqin and Yousei Bot compete in the men’s 200m event, strongly suggest that Yeqin give up the men’s 400m race and only participate in the men’s 200m. The lack of one event will not affect it at all. His greatness.

Of course, this move was also opposed by many men's 400m enthusiasts. We don't know if Yechin can break the world record again in the men's 400m, but he and Jimmy Warner and Sean Merritt duel. , Is also a world-class top competition.

As long as Yeqin can qualify smoothly tonight, the next two days of competition will be relatively simple. Tomorrow night is the 200-meter final, and the next night is the 400-meter final. One day is enough to adjust and recover. Compared with the high-density race tonight, it is naturally a lot easier.

In the Berlin Stadium, from 18:15 in the evening, the entire track and field arena is hot.

Almost all of the many commentators in the media commentary were witty remarks, explaining the game in a passionate tone.

The first group of the men's 400m semifinals did not disappoint anyone. It notified the American star Jimmy Warner from 2004 to 2007 that he won the first place in the group with 44.69 seconds and advanced to the final.

The overall level of performance in the first group of the semi-finals is not high. Jimmy Warner's score is 44.69. The second place British player is 44.74.

But in the second group of the semifinals, the competitive state of Sean Merritt surprised everyone. Sean Merritt ran 44.37 seconds without encountering a particularly big challenge.

This is the best result of the men's 400 meters this year, which is 0.3 seconds faster than Jimmy Warner in the first group of the semifinals.

At 18:29 in the evening.

With the two semi-final groups of the men's 400 meters having completed the competition, Ye Qin and the other seven semi-final third-group players finally stepped out of the tunnel amidst the expectation of the audience and the audience in front of the TV. Stadium track.

"...Good spectators, Ye Qin is already on the field! The third group of the men's 400m semi-final of the World Championships is about to begin. After running this semi-final, Ye Qin will be 19 At 1:25, we will participate in the men's 200m semi-finals. Please don't miss it...

The time of the two semi-finals is very close, which is a very serious test for Yechin's physical fitness. In yesterday's preliminary and semi-finals, Ye Qin basically reserved a large margin to run. Everyone can see that Ye Qin was just rushing to get the promotion spot. This is the first time Yechin has participated in the World Championships and the Olympic Games for many years. From this point, it can be seen that Yechin has matured on the field, and he will face opponents in the 200-meter and 400-meter finals. The prudence..."

In the Berlin Stadium, when Yeqin played, the cheers and applause of the audience instantly increased several times.

Many Chinese spectators who came to watch the game held cheering sticks, KT boards, national flags and so on, waving them with great excitement.

Standing on the runway, Ye Qin beckoned to the audience, but his expression was extremely calm.

In this men's 400-meter race, he still has to follow the previous strategy, focusing on qualifying, and does not need to completely mobilize himself to the most excited state.

However, he still has to master it. After all, all the top sprinters are present. They want to advance to the finals with restraint and reservation, and they won’t let himself get excited too early before the finals of tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. He needs to control it himself.

After the eight semi-final players in the third group appeared on the field, the information of this group of players appeared on the TV and on the big screen.

The first one, Leon Larry, United States;

The second way, Ye Qin, China;

Third, Chris Brown, Bahamas;

Fourth Road, Taliba-Henry, U.S. Virgin Islands;

Fifth Road, John Stephenson, Australia;

The sixth way, Robert Tobin, England;

Seventh Road, Ricardo Chambers, Jamaica;

Eighth Road, Kevin Polly, Belgium;

In this race, in addition to Yechin, the first man in the 400m, American Leon Larry and Bahamas Chris Brown also had a lot of fame in the 400m event.

At the same time, what attracted the attention of many European audiences was Kevin Polly, a white teenager who was only 20 years old this year. In the Yanjing Olympics last year, although he failed to make the finals, he was in the semifinals. But with 44.88 seconds, he created a new high in his personal career.

It can be said that he is a relatively talented white athlete who has emerged in the men's 400 meters event.

After a gunshot, the game officially began.

Yeqin was in the second pass. Since the start of the game, he has been maintaining a relatively large pace and slowly accelerating.

The competition has reached the semi-finals. Basically, most athletes will go all out at this time in order to get a place in the finals.

Fortunately, the attention of the World Championships is not as high as the Olympic Games after all.

If it is in the semi-finals of the Olympic Games, then many players may have been preparing for several years, and their performance level will be significantly higher.

Although the World Championships are the highest level of track and field events, they have just experienced the Olympics last year. This year, many players' personal competitive status has not reached that amazing level.

After running off the runway, Chris Brown of Jamaica and Taliba Henry of the U.S. Virgin Islands soon began to lead the audience.

From the first corner, it is obvious that the two people on the third and fourth lanes are much faster than the other players.

Yechin could also feel that he was being pulled a certain distance by Chris Brown and Taliba Henry, but he did not speed up immediately, but adopted his early game strategy to stabilize his position first. , Hung behind them in no hurry.

After turning into the straight, Chris Brown and Taliba Henry have steadily improved their speed, and their 400-meter strength is obviously a bit higher than the other players.

After the straight into the corner, the entire 200-meter race began to enter the second half of the stage.

Countless viewers in front of the TV are watching Ye Qin nervously at this moment.

The semi-finals of the men's 400 meters are three group competitions. The top two of each group advance directly, and the remaining two players with the best scores will be added to the finals.

Judging from the previous preliminaries and the 200 meters just now, in the eyes of many viewers, Yeqin's state is actually not satisfactory. He has always been in the middle position. Under such circumstances, in case the top two are taken by others. Go, he is in danger if he wants to qualify for the finals. After all, the grading depends on the ranking of the three groups. If Yeqin only gets third and fourth in this group, he may not have a chance.

Two hundred meters, two hundred and thirty meters, two hundred and fifty meters...

Just as the game entered the middle and second half of the corner, many viewers seemed to have noticed that Yechin, who was in the inner lane, seemed to be speeding up, and the third and fourth lanes Chris Brown and Tully. The distance between Bar-Henry is shrinking.

Turn into the straight!

In front of the TV, many spectators who could not visually see the position of the players in the corners suddenly stood up.

In the final straight distance of more than 80 meters, Ye Qin suddenly ran from the back position in their eyes to a position on par with the two players in front.

Moreover, Yeqin's speed is still increasing.

It's getting closer and closer to the finish line, seventy meters, sixty meters, fifty meters...

Many people know that Yeqin's strongest point in the 400-meter event is the 50-meter sprint in the second half of the final.

For now, Yeqin was already on par with the previous two players, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, on the field, Yeqin did not accelerate in the final sixty to seventy meters.

His speed remains the same, with almost no obvious improvement. This 400m is only a semi-final. If he runs with all his strength at this time, it will have a great impact on the subsequent 200m semi-finals~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and, with As they got closer and closer to the finish line, whether it was the audience or the audience in front of the TV, they gradually discovered that Ye Qin was pulling away from the other two.

After the first three hundred meters of running, whether it is Chris Brown or Taliba Henry, or the Jamaican players Ricardo Chambers and Kevin Polly who are behind a few people, Now the speed is inevitably dropping sharply.

And Ye Qin's speed at the beginning of the first half of the rush has been maintained relatively well. When facing players of this level, he did not let go of the speed in the first half of the run, and now he still has enough physical reserves.

In the last fifty meters, Yechin kept running at the same speed, but gradually surpassed Chris Brown and Taliba Henry.

Cross the line!

On the live timing card, the results of this group of men's 400m semi-finals appeared in the eyes of the audience and in front of the TV.

44 seconds 72!

A result that is worse than the previous Jimmy Warner and Sean Merritt, especially when compared to Sean Merritt, this result is even slower.

But after crossing the finish line, Ye Qin let out a long sigh of relief.

His body is slightly exhausted, but the distance that makes him particularly sore and tired is far from reaching. He controlled his speed and physical energy distribution all the way, and successfully got the first place in this group. It is still very worthwhile in his heart. happy.

On the runway, Yeqin once again waved to the audience next to him, ignoring the intention of many reporters to interview him, and soon Yeqin left the runway and walked towards the stadium's passage.

He needs to hurry up and rest now, the men's 200m semi-final is imminent!
