On the cliffs of Mount Erados in Greece, there is an inscription from the 8th century BC that is considered to be the earliest sporting maxim:

If you want to be strong, go for a run!

If you want to get fit, go for a run!

If you want to be smart, go for a run!

……

"Ye Qin, can you tell us how you feel about the first time you stand in the Bird's Nest competition?"

On May 22, at the Bird's Nest National Stadium, the men's 100m preliminaries came to an end.

"Actually, I have already said it just now......" Ye Qin looked at the many reporters surrounding him, his face was a little helpless, the same question, he had just answered it several times, but he was still patient, and continued: "I feel very excited, and the venue is very good, the track is moderately soft and hard, which is very conducive to the performance of the players......"

Speaking of this, Ye Qin suddenly raised his head and looked at the stands around the bird's nest, all kinds of lights flickered, like stars in the sky, paused, and continued: "The most important thing is the atmosphere of the scene, so many spectators from their own countries are watching the game in the stadium, as an athlete, that feeling is really wonderful." ”

In the haze, Ye Qin seemed to remember that the first time there were many spectators in a domestic competition was when he was in the 03 City Games, when he first appeared on the stage of a domestic competition and saw many Chinese spectators watching the game by the stadium.

In fact, the level of the track and field events of the City Games is not so high, but in many cases, the local city games and the National Games are held to promote local infrastructure and popularity.

"Yechin, do you think you can win the Olympic title on the home turf of the Bird's Nest? How many can you get? In the crowd surrounding Ye Chin, a reporter asked loudly again. As soon as the other party's question fell, it immediately caused a burst of laughter from the surrounding reporters.

In the men's sprint event, it is the first time that a Chinese athlete has asked so confidently whether he can win a gold medal and how many gold medals he can win.

Such confidence, such a refreshing and neat feeling, all come from the young man standing in front of them at this moment, the men's 100m and 200m world champion, the world record holder, and such a native interview subject, asking questions seems to make people feel extraordinarily inflated.

"I'll do my best, I have a chance to win the title, but my opponent is strong and you all know that."

Ye Qin smiled at the reporters and replied with some caution. Instead of having to talk about it before the competition, as many athletes do, he was serious about the situation he was facing.

Many of the reporters in the crowd are obviously knowledgeable, and in the men's 100m, Ye Qin is now facing at least three competitors of the same level.

Even if Ye Chin's age, condition, and form in the tournament are all good, it is not easy to really win the final victory in the Olympics.

Ten seconds, hundredths of a second, or even a thousandths of a second, anything can happen on a short 100-meter track.

However, no matter who wins the men's 100m at this year's Olympics, it can't shake Yechin's aura of being the world's top first-class sprinter.

At least many people across the country are paying attention to him and hoping that he can win gold at the Bird's Nest Stadium and win gold medals in multiple events like last year's World Championships.

……

On the other side, after the men's 100-meter preliminaries, Zhang Peimeng and Yang Yao were near the finish line, briefly interviewed by several reporters, and after briefly answering questions, they quickly walked towards the mixed channel area.

This match is a bit of a pressure for both men.

As the time for the Olympics draws closer, there is more and more pressure to make a breakthrough in the individual event and be able to meet the standards of participation.

Especially at the beginning of the month, Gu Kai went to Osaka, Japan with Ye Qin to participate in the Grand Prix, and ran out of the Olympic A standard, and the two felt a different kind of pressure even more.

At present, in training, or in some previous domestic competitions, Gu Kai's level is still a little bit away from Yang Yao, and then Zhang Peimeng's growth momentum in the past two years is strong, and there are faint signs of surpassing Gu Kai, but neither of them has been able to run out of the Olympic men's 100-meter A standard, but Gu Kai ran out.

In the Olympic sprint event, there are only three quotas for one country, and now there are two people in the men's 100m, Ye Qin and Gu Kai. Now there is still a quota for the Olympic men's 100m A standard, if the two want to participate, one is that it is not easy to run to meet the standard, and the other is that even if they meet the standard, they have to compete again within the team.

Thinking of this, Yang Yao couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly, it was really ...... He and Zhang Peimeng haven't run out of the Olympic Games A standard yet, and they began to worry about the rest of the matter.

However, if the Chinese track and field team starts to participate in the Olympic Games men's 100-meter competition, there are four or five qualified athletes, and they need to determine the quota in the track and field trials like the United States.

"Brother Yang, I think I should focus on the 200 meters, right?"

Just as Yang Yao was secretly sighing, he suddenly heard Zhang Pei Meng behind him whisper.

Yang Yao was slightly stunned at first, then understood, and reached out to hug the other party's shoulder, "What do you think, when is it now, as long as we are on the field, we must go all out, and we can run out of A-standard results." Now, whether the two of us can run into the A standard, and who can run into the A standard is unknown? ”

"I'm not ......" Zhang Peimeng rubbed his hair, a little embarrassed, "I don't think I may have a better chance in 200 meters." ”

"Don't think about these things, no matter who it is, our first task is to be able to enter the A standard, whether it is 100 meters or 200 meters, if the results cannot be achieved, it is useless to carry forward any style."

Yang Yao smiled, he liked the popularity of the track and field team now, after the rise of Ye Qin, everyone seemed to have found the backbone. With the small calculations of the previous local team, everyone can reunite under this banner, work hard towards the future together, and constantly surpass themselves and break through themselves.

This feeling is really good, in recent years, the progress of personal performance, with the power of the previous example, more or the team has changed the way of training, relay to drive individual projects, so that the team members cooperate with each other, training time is improved, tacit understanding is improved, and the centripetal force cohesion of the whole team is rising.

……

20:20 p.m.

In the Bird's Nest Stadium, there are more than 50,000 people, although all the places in the stadium stands have not yet been filled, but you can already feel the overwhelming noise and noise in it.

The "Good Luck Yanjing" Track and Field Open is the first official track and field event put into use after the construction of the Bird's Nest.

Many officials from the Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and the IAAF attended to check and fill in the gaps and put forward some necessary suggestions for the upcoming Yenching Olympic Games.

"Ye Chin, hello!"

In one of the corridors of the rest in the Bird's Nest Stadium, Ye Qin had already warmed up and was about to play, when he suddenly saw several figures walking towards him.

The leader was a man with a cold and resolute face, who seemed to have been preoccupied, and at the moment when he was about to pass by Ye Qin, he paused slightly, as if he saw Ye Qin clearly, and stopped and stretched out his hand to greet Ye Qin.

"Director Zhang, hello!"

Ye Qin also smiled and reached out to shake the other party at the moment when he stopped to say hello.

"Is this going to play?" Director Zhang glanced at Ye Qin and asked.

"Well, it's going to be on the field right away." Ye Qin nodded.

"Come on!" Director Zhang showed a rare smile on his face.

"Thank you!"

After Ye Qin greeted him with a smile, he didn't stop for long, and quickly left the aisle and walked towards the passage where the players gathered.

Looking at the back of Ye Qin leaving, Director Zhang was stunned for a moment, as if he had thought of something, then shook his head again, and left straight with the other staff.

In the Bird's Nest Stadium, when Ye Qin and seven other men's 100-meter runners appeared on the track, the whole scene was already boiling.

The "Good Luck Yanjing" track and field open competition is a total of four days, from May 22 to May 25, and this Chinese track and field open is actually the Chinese track and field championships.

Unlike previous tournaments, this time it is an open tournament and many countries from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Japan, and Australia are invited to participate.

Ye Qin participated in three races in this open competition, the men's 100m on May 22, the 200m on May 24, and the 400m event, because of the short schedule, Ye Qin did not participate this time.

Tonight is the final of the men's 100m.

When Ye Qin entered the runway of the Bird's Nest Stadium, the list of players in this group had already been played on the big screen at the scene.

First Road, Li Zhenghao, Hong Kong, China;

the second way, Su Bingtian, Guangdong Province;

the third, Yang Yao, Sheng Hai;

Fourth, Zhang Peimeng, Yanjing;

fifth, Yechin, Hercy;

Sixth lane, Otis-High, Australia

Seventh Path, Naoki Tsukahara, Japan;

Eighth Dao, Guo Fan, Gui Province;

Tsukahara Naoki needless to say, as a Japanese sprinter specializing in the 100 meters, is almost the backbone of the new generation of Japanese men's 100 meters in recent years, and he has reached the Olympic standard A standard. In addition, his personal performance in the 200m event was also not good, and in 2006 he ran a personal best of 20.35 seconds.

This time, as a Japanese athlete, I came to China to participate in the competition, largely to adapt to the venue and process of the Bird's Nest, in order to create as good results as possible in the men's 100m field of the Olympic Games.

Another Australian athlete, Otis Gao, is the same age as Naoki Tsukahara, both 85 years old, and has won the Australian national 100m championship, and his individual ability is about the level of an international athlete.

In this game, Yang Yao and Zhang Peimeng both looked a little nervous, and their eyes occasionally fell on Ye Qin from time to time, and they seemed to be able to feel a huge pressure on their shoulders faintly.

"It's really a bit different to be on the Bird's Nest and compete!"

Zhang Peimeng only felt that the blood in his whole body seemed to be boiling hot at this time, listening to the noisy shouts in his ears, an indescribable throbbing constantly hit his heart.

Even if he takes the path of sports school and sports team, he is much more mature than his peers, but in the end, Zhang Peimeng is only a young man in his early twenties this year.

In the arena that has been followed by countless people, that kind of nervousness, excitement, blood, and all kinds of emotions will explode here!

"I'm going to stand on the track of the Bird's Nest when I compete in the official Olympic Games, and I'm going to stand here!"

A huge desire arose spontaneously at this moment, and at this time, Zhang Peimeng suddenly realized why so many people fought for the Olympic Games and pursued them desperately.

It's not that he doesn't understand the feeling of competing on the highest stage, but there is no such venue to stimulate, so that he really experiences that he does lack specific and intuitive feelings.

Now, he felt it!

"I want to stand here and compete, I want to!"

In his second Su Bingtian, at this time, the whole person had been taking deep breaths and exhaling long breaths.

Very nervous!

Really nervous!

Being watched by forty or fifty thousand people in the audience, that feeling, as if not to mention the game, is that everyone is a little dizzy.

It is said that he has not competed in his country, and he was given the opportunity to compete at the World Championships in Osaka last year, but those matches are a little different from today's.

It's in the Bird's Nest!

It will soon be the main venue for the Olympic track and field event!

Su Bingtian is still relatively clear about his results, with his current ability, it is almost impossible to run into the Olympic A standard in individual events, but even so, as an athlete, standing on the track and not giving it a try, how can he really be willing.

Yang Yao doesn't have as many thoughts as the two of them at the moment, he is the oldest of the few people present, he has participated in many competitions, and he also ran the second shot of the 200 meters at the 2004 Athens Olympics.

It's just that the meaning of the Yenching Olympics this time is very different, as an athlete, he hopes that he can stand on the field, stand on the track, and fight for his motherland and people.

In the past two years, his 1200-meter level has improved, but it may also be due to his age, and the improvement is not particularly large. But there is still a chance to participate in the A standard of the Olympics this year.

It's just that he doesn't know if it's in the men's 100m or in the men's 200m.

Before, Zhang Peimeng wanted to say that he would give up this quota and he would participate in the men's 200m race.

But Yang Yao didn't dare to think so, he knew that there were too many variables in sports, and it was pointless to think about deeper things before he got the quota.

Let's wait until we finish the men's 100m and 200m races!

“On your marks！”

In front of the starting line, the men's 100-meter start signal sounded.

Because of the fact that there are foreign runners participating in the competition, this time the starting password is in unified English.

After the start command ended, the sound in the audience gradually weakened.

Occasionally, there was a whistle or two in the venue, but it soon stopped.

Everyone watched intently at the athletes who were broadcast on the big screen and squatted in front of the starting line.

The race is imminent!
