"It is very, very difficult to break the 10-second mark in the men's 100m event, and Ye Qin's 9.98 not only means that China has very competitive athletes, but also has an impact on the younger generation of athletes."

"We really want to congratulate Ye Qin on his excellent performance, I think Ye Qin's 9.98 seconds is great for China and Asian athletics, which proves the key role of China in the development of Asian athletics, without which there would be no progress in Asian athletics. I have seen the progress of Chinese athletics, and China has always played an exemplary role in track and field. ”

……

In the indoor track and field field of the Yanjing Training General Bureau, Ye Qin watched Liu Yangyu show him several newspaper interviews, and the look on his face was a little helpless.

"Brother Yang Yu, why are you laughing at me too?"

"No, no." Liu Yangyu had a smile on his face, "I'm here to show you how terrifying your influence is now, and the bigwigs of the IAAF are speaking for you." ”

More than a month has passed since the end of the Asian Games, and it is now late January 2007.

Although Ye Qin has been hiding in the General Training Bureau for training and preparation, outside, he broke the 10-second mark, won four gold medals in one Asian Games, and swept the Asian men's 100, 200 and 400 records, but he has become the focus of media attention.

There are even many people who have interviewed other IAAF bigwigs to comment on their voices, the above two paragraphs, the first paragraph is from the IAAF bigwig Sebastian Coe, the hero of the successful Olympic bid in London, England in 2005, and the other is the president of the Asian Athletics Federation, Dahran Ahmed.

After Ye Qin broke the 10-second mark, both of them expressed their congratulations and support, and the 10-second mark is of epochal significance for sprinters, and even for the sports of one country and one race.

Before the 90s, all athletes who could break the 10-second barrier in the 100m were of West African descent, until 1991 when Namibian legend Frandericks became the first athlete of non-West African descent to break the 10.

In 2003, Australia's Patrick Johnson became the first athlete to break the 10-second barrier without an African background.

In 2006, Ye Qin became the first Asian and East Asian yellow athlete to officially break the 10-second barrier.

The meaning contained in this is just as Feng Shuyou, the head coach of the track and field team, said: "Ye Qin has stood on the world stage on behalf of the predecessors, active athletes and coaches of the Chinese track and field community, and has realized the dreams of many people, he is very great." Ye Qin's breakthrough is not only of great significance for the men's 100m, but also has a very motivating effect on other events. This allowed us to break the original ideological confinement and dispel the myth of the invincibility of foreigners in this project. ”

It is under this kind of propaganda that Ye Qin's popularity has really reached a new peak in China, whether it is the advertisements and some commercial activities that come from the Tianguan Center, or the daily outing, on the Shuimu campus, you will always meet media reporters staring at you.

In addition, there are many bigwigs in the track and field industry, seniors in the sports world, etc., who have expressed their congratulations and support to Ye Qin, making Ye Qin's popularity even further than before the Asian Games, and now he can be regarded as catching up with Liu Yangyu in domestic popularity.

"By the way, when are we leaving?"

Ye Qin was also a little excited about the influence he had recently created.

However, in front of Liu Yangyu, there is nothing particularly good to say about these things, everyone is a first-class athlete, and they have achieved very outstanding results in different events with each other, but they asked about another thing.

"No. 31, I still have to wait until I'm the master's time arrangement." Liu Yangyu thought about the schedule for a while, and then said, "The effect of my winter training is not bad, how are you?" ”

Ye Qin shook his head slightly, "I'm a little bad now, I feel that it should be okay, but I still need to run a few times on the field to know the result." ”

Speaking of this, Ye Qin paused, "The 60-meter race in three stations should be enough for me to find my feelings." ”

"The difference between the 60m and the 100m is not as big as you think, in a sense, there are still some commonalities, I run the 60m hurdles is a little worse than the 110m hurdles, but in fact, there is not much difference between the two." Liu Yangyu smiled and comforted Ye Qin, and then said, "I remember that you don't seem to run much indoor races, right?" ”

"Well, it's relatively rare, I did participate twice with Coach Nie at that time, but at that time it was 200 meters and 400 meters." Ye Qin remembered the scene of participating in the national indoor competition with Nie Fangping before, and it felt as if it was still yesterday, but in a blink of an eye, it had been a few years.

In the first stop of 2007, Ye Qin and Liu Yangyu were both in Germany.

Liu Yangyu was warmly invited by the German Organizing Committee to open the website of German athletics, many of which were reports about Liu Yangyu. After more than a month of training at the Shenghai Xinzhuang training base, Liu Yangyu came to the General Bureau to prepare for the later competition in Germany.

Ye Qin was naturally invited, but his performance in the men's 400m event in the indoor competition naturally cannot be compared with Liu Yangyu.

Germany's track and field events, both large and small, have a wealth of experience and a lot of prize money, and are still able to attract some of the best track and field athletes from all over the world.

Ye Qin and Liu Yangyu both competed in the Stuttgart Indoor Athletics Championships, followed by the Düsseldorf Indoor Athletics Championships and the Karlsruhe Indoor Athletics Championships, for a total of three indoor athletics competitions.

However, the difference is that although Ye Qin agreed to go to Germany to participate in the indoor competition, it is not the men's 400-meter indoor event as the outside world thinks, and his trip to Germany, three indoor competitions, Ye Qin participated in the indoor 60-meter competition.

After two men's 100m races at the World Youth Championships and the Asian Games, Ye Qin first broke the national men's 100m record and then the 10-second barrier, and his performance in the men's 100m has been undoubtedly confirmed.

The athletics management center and the track and field team have also officially determined Ye Qin's concurrent men's 100m, and the 100m event will be biased in future competitions and training routines.

Ye Qin participated in the men's 60-meter indoor competition this time, under the advice of Coach Yuan Guohua, and followed Liu Yangyu and Coach Sun Chaosheng directly to Germany to participate in the indoor competition, and trained to improve his starting and acceleration level.

Compared with the 100-meter event, the 60-meter event has a shorter distance, and requires more explosiveness and starting technical skills, these aspects, Ye Qin has been learning and improving, but no matter how good he usually practices, or if he wants to produce results and results as quickly as possible, the best way is undoubtedly to compete.

Germany's invitations to three indoor track and field competitions in 2007 gave Yechin the opportunity to train in the form of competition, which is what he is used to training in, constantly learning from the experience in the field, perfecting his skills, and breaking his limits against strong competitors.

Three indoor 60-meter races, according to the ideas of Yuan Guohua and some coaches in the field management center, there is no need for Ye Qin to really be able to run any special results, after all, Ye Qin is a player who is good in the second half, but through the indoor 60-meter race, at least he can have a certain improvement in starting and accelerating.
