Chapter 176: A New Mountain
The passing standard for the 2004 Athens Olympic Games was approved by the IAAF in November 2002 for track and field events, except for the marathon, the rest of the track and field events must be reached from January 1, 2003 to August 9, 2004, and the marathon must be participated in from September 1, 2002 to August 9, 2004.
With the exception of relay races, all results must be achieved in IAAF or its commissioned events, as well as events under regional federations or national member organizations, and university or school events must be approved by national associations.
The Olympic men's 400m A mark is 45.55 seconds and B mark is 45.95 seconds.
In Fangcai, Ye Qin ran 45.88 seconds, which met the standard of the Olympic Games B standard, and it was also the best result of the Chinese athlete in the men's 400m event from 03 to 04.
The national men's 400-meter record is 45.25 seconds set by Xu Zhiyu in the 2001 East Asian Games, and the other party is the holder of the national men's 400-meter record, but the best personal state is from 99 to 01, during which there are several major competitions that have run into 46 seconds, but since 03, the personal injury state has declined, and the results in the 400-meter event are around 46 and 47 seconds.
This means that Ye Qin is currently the only player in China who has reached the Olympic men's 400m B standard, and if nothing else, Ye Qin has already obtained this ticket to the Athens Olympics.
Ye Qin didn't lie on the ground for too long, a staff member of the competition next to him handed him a bottle of water, he struggled to stand up and took a small sip, and then saw the results on the big screen, and his heart was secretly excited.
He has always kept in mind the Olympic results, and neither Nie Fangping nor himself actually thought about this year's competition, but at this moment, he couldn't help but be a little excited when he really saw the results come out.
The Olympics, the top arena in the world, he had the opportunity to participate.
But......
"Merritt!"
"Merritt!"
There was a man in the stands shouting a name.
The mixture of Italian and other dialects was indistinct, but gradually Yechin was able to hear it clearly.
A lot of people are chanting the name of the champion.
In particular, there were a small number of American spectators in the stands, waving the Stars and Stripes, jumping and jumping, extremely excited!
Ye Qin's eyes noticed the black young man wearing a blue tracksuit, who was cheering for the crowd in the field at this moment, and at the end of the 400-meter race, the other party seemed to have the strength to spare, and was receiving cheers and photos from many reporters on the sidelines.
"There's still a long way to go!"
Ye Qin took a few deep breaths, calmed down his breathing and gradually eased his breath, and watched the other party being surrounded by the crowd, how similar the situation at this time was to the World Junior Championships a year ago.
At that time, after the 400-meter race, Sudanese runners Abu Bakr Ali and Yusse Bot were cheered and applauded in the arena, and he still remembers the scene of reporters interviewing and taking pictures.
In the course of a year, he improved a lot, winning against Abubakr Ali, and last year he was able to throw him out of a big margin and lead by more than a second, and he finally won this match.
Abu Bakr Ali's 400m final time of 45.97 seconds was almost the same as Botswana's Obakken Gwiwa, with a slight victory in the 1,000m and was overtaken by Yechin in the final 10 meters.
For a moment, Ye Qin really wanted to roar, but this joy was quickly replaced by a new opponent.
He has a new goal.
Ron Merritt, the American athlete's strength is amazing, and the 45.25 seconds he ran in the 400 meters is still a lot stronger than him. 45.25 seconds, the national 400m record is nothing more than that, and this result broke the world youth men's 400m record.
“…… So if you want to improve more, go to a bigger circle, and you will be more progressive. ”
Ye Qin was more and more able to understand the meaning of this sentence at this time, he was happy with his progress, he had climbed the peak that had almost made him lose confidence last year, but it was too late to be too happy, he saw a new mountain appear in front of him. After crossing a peak, I was able to see a new peak standing in front of me again.
That's competitive sports!
Only when you push yourself to a limit will you surpass yourself!
This set of 400 meters was the limit of Ye Qin's running at this time, and he was almost about to fall down as soon as he finished running. Even if I lay down for a while, I still felt that my legs were soft and my hands were weak, and my whole body was sore and I had no strength.
Ye Qin stood up at this moment, he felt that his legs were a little weak, and his whole body seemed to be soft and weak.
But the more this happened, Ye Qin suddenly had a strong sense of anticipation in his heart, how many top masters there would be in that arena at the Olympics in Athens next month.
He wants to compete against such strong opponents, constantly see his progress, and then beat them.
When I climb one peak after another, will one day I become the tallest one myself?!
……
Before leaving the arena, Ye Chin, along with the other competitors, everyone stepped forward to congratulate Laune-Merritt.
Raun-Merritt broke the world junior record in the 400m final, but he did not stand a chance to feature at next month's Olympics, but instead Sudan's Abu Bakr Ali, who ran the Olympic standard in last year's airport race and will compete as a member of Sudan's national team after the World Junior Championships.
"Coach Nie, congratulations! Ye Qin is really making progress too fast! Looking at the end of the men's 400-meter final in the field, Zhou Bin sighed heartily.
In just over a year, from Nie Fangping taking Ye Qin to the track and field field of the Athletics Management Center to the current World Youth Championships, he has almost watched Ye Qin continue to improve step by step.
Now, now this teenager has reached the B standard of the Olympic Games and has gotten the ticket to the Olympic Games.
This had to make him sigh and sigh.
He also knew about the track and field team of this year's Athens Olympics, Chen Jian participated in the men's 100 meters, Yang Yao participated in the men's 200 meters, and in the 400 meters event, domestic athletes did not meet the standard, and no one could participate.
Zhou Bin didn't think that Ye Qin would be able to run up to the standard, in the last year's City Games, Ye Qin's results were still different from the Olympic standards, and he hoped more to let Ye Qin participate in the World Youth Championships.
However, this kid really ran up to the standard in the World Youth Championships before the Olympics.
Zhou Bin can imagine how happy several leaders will be if the news is transmitted back to the national team.
With Ye Qin's age, with the experience of participating in this Olympic Games, how will he perform in four years, Zhou Bin feels that he no longer dares to think about it.
Nie Fangping didn't seem to hear Zhou Bin's words at this moment, his round face turned red, and his lips moved slightly, "It's up to standard, Ye Qin can participate in the Olympics and enter the national team." Haha, I, Nie Fangping, brought out an athlete who can participate in the Olympics, hahaha......"
"Coach Nie, Coach Nie ......"
Zhou Bin shouted several times in a row, only to realize that something was wrong. He could hear Nie Fangping's heavy breathing, and just as he reached out to pat Nie Fangping's shoulder, he suddenly felt that the other party was like cotton made of cotton, and it softened.
Zhou Bin was startled, and hurriedly used his hands and feet to support Nie Fangping.
