Chapter 198

After leaving the Olympic Stadium, Ye Qin followed Yu Weili and several coaches such as Yang Yaozu and Yuan Mingfu to return to the Chinese delegation.

After a men's 200m race, it was good news for the sprint team, as it was the first time that a Chinese sprinter was able to hear a second gunshot on the Olympic stage, which was a significant improvement, and it was also a very significant improvement, and there were two runners at a time.

But it is not shocking news for the entire Chinese team, or even the entire track and field team. The only direct results measured by the Olympics are medals, the gold, silver and bronze medals in the top three, and the semi-finals of the other preliminaries and semi-finals are not of much significance.

After Ye Qin and Yang Yao finished lunch, they seized the time to take a lunch break to relax their muscles.

The men's 200m preliminaries on the morning of August 24 have passed, but it does not mean that today's competition is over.

At 20 o'clock in the evening, there will be a rematch, and compared to the preliminaries, whether it is Ye Qin or Yang Yao, the two will face a much greater challenge.

After a round of screening in the preliminaries, the strength of the remaining players has undoubtedly risen to a higher level, and the two may not be at the bottom of the preliminaries, but after the rematch, they can basically be summarized as the weak camp.

At the same time, Ye Qin also got a message when he got the list of rematch matches at the station.

In addition to Andrew Howe, another old rival he particularly focused on, Jamaica's lanky black player Euse Bote, did not make it to the rematch.

In the preliminaries, Yusse Both's time seemed to be 21.05 seconds, and he only finished fifth in the group, which is a big difference compared to the opponent's time at the World Junior Championships last year.

Ye Qin didn't know what happened to the other party, because of the schedule of the game, he didn't have time to contact Yusse Bote, this year, his English level has improved a lot, and he originally wanted to find a chance to communicate, but the Athens Olympic Village is very large, he didn't go out alone, and now in this situation, he can only dispel his thoughts and seize the time to start preparing for the next round of rematches.

……

19 p.m.

Ye Qin and Yang Yao returned to the Olympic Stadium in Athens under the leadership of Wei Li, Yuan Mingfu and several staff members.

It was still a fixed pre-game warm-up, but just after a round of preliminaries in the morning, there was a long warm-up training, and the pre-game warm-up in the evening was relatively much less intense.

Under the guidance and help of Yu Weili, the two did muscle stretching together, and soon began to rest on the sidelines to recover their physical fitness. The ligaments and joints of the body have been opened, as long as the body is properly warmed up and kept in competitive condition.

At 20 o'clock, the second round of the men's 200m officially kicked off.

The first group of semi-finals starts at 20 o'clock, the second group is at 20:05, the third group is at 20:10, and the fourth group is 15 points.

Yang Yao was placed in the second group of the preliminaries, while Ye Qin was placed in the third group.

After Yang Yao entered the arena to start the game, Ye Qin, as a player in the third group, quickly began to enter the check-in roll call work that was ready to play.

Standing in the middle of the team, Ye Qin felt that something was wrong in the team, in the previous games, whether it was the preliminaries or the finals, most of the players did not know each other, or before such a tense game, everyone's spirit was very concentrated, and there were few other moves.

And at this moment, a stout round-faced black American athlete in front of him, the check-in roll call line began, and everyone was standing on the track until they entered the stadium.

The American athlete kept shaking his head from side to side, like an angry lion, and his eyes kept sweeping towards the athletes around him.

That look was full of aggression, almost as if it was going to eat someone else.

Ye Chin recognized the other party, or all the men's 200m athletes in the room, the new 100m champion of the Athens Olympics, Jax Thelin.

On the day of the men's 100m final, Ye Qin watched the opponent's competition, and Jax Thelin won the men's 100m championship at this Olympic Games with a time of 9.85 seconds, becoming the most eye-catching focus of the current event.

When he didn't compete with each other, Ye Qin didn't have much feeling for Jax Thelin, but at this time, everyone was the opponent of the same group preliminaries, and when he stood on the same starting line, Ye Qin found that the new 100-meter flyer was very active, whether it was checking in the warm-up line, or standing on the track after the game, walking around, staring at other runners from time to time, and even spitting on other people's tracks.

Fortunately, he is the second lane, and in the 200-meter race, everyone is far away from each other, and the starting line of the 200-meter is not the same straight line like the 100-meter, with a number of extensions.

Otherwise, if it is a 100-meter race, you can think about it, you squat in front of the starting line, and when you look up slightly, you will remember that there is saliva on the track in front of you, even if your fingers can't touch it, the psychology is always uncomfortable.

In addition to Jax Lin, Yechin noticed that there was another player in the group who was Jamaican, Asa Favir. He was in lane eight, Asa Favir did not finish in the 100-meter final, Ye Qin remembered that the opponent gave up after starting, but the strength of the runner who can enter the 100-meter final is naturally undoubted.

However, a big reason why Ye Qin noticed the other party was mainly because he felt that Asa Favir's expressionless appearance felt particularly innocent, a little bitter all the time.

In addition, in the men's 200m semi-final, Yechin was the Slovenian player Madik Osovnikar in lane seven.

In the morning preliminaries, Madik Osovnikar ranked fifth in the group behind Andrew Howe with a time of 20.57 seconds.

After the eight semi-finalists took to the field, after a brief adaptation to the field, as well as the referees and starters adjusted the equipment, the game began quickly.

Ye Qin squatted in front of the starting line, replaced by a strong urge to win, although he also knew that in terms of his own strength, hope was very slim.

But after the results of the preliminaries came out, this idea could no longer be suppressed.

In addition to thinking about the competition at the moment, Ye Qin is also thinking about more and more training after returning to China, he wants to become stronger, keep getting stronger, he doesn't want to be kicked out casually.

The 400-meter preliminaries were out, and although I accepted the result in my heart at that time, I always had regrets, and the more I thought about it later, the more uncomfortable I often felt.

Although I have worked 100% hard, I can't do it a little better, fight a little more, after all, the 200 meters can enter the second round, maybe if I work a little harder in the 400 meters, there will be a chance.

However, the past has been doomed, and now the 200m can enter the second round of the semi-final, Ye Qin naturally hopes that he can go further.

At this time, Ye Qin didn't know whether Yang Yao, who was in the rematch in front of him, would advance to the next round of semi-finals, and he only had one thought in his mind, to compare with 100% spirit and fighting spirit, and if he didn't try his best, he would never know what the result would be!
