Chapter 376: An Unexpected Victory
"Ye Chin, come on!"
"China, we will win!"
"Yechin, Yechin......"
In the boiling 80,000-person stadium, Ye Qin stood in front of the starting line and could hear one after another, continuous cheers and cheers like a tide.
Among the tens of thousands of spectators present today, many of them came for him and Liu Yangyu, it's hard to say who it is, but when he heard such fanatical cheers and cheers, Ye Qin's heart felt like a fire was about to erupt.
When participating in competitions abroad, he also needs to deliberately pay attention to who is around the Chinese audience and where the national flag is fluttering, and now, in the Shenghai 80,000-person stadium, in his own national territory, looking around, all eyes are supporting his audience.
Ye Qin spun in circles, waving his hand to the crowd around him in thanks, and after a further cheer, Ye Qin stopped looking at the stands and forced himself to turn his attention to the upcoming game.
Ahead of him in fifth lane is Jimmy Warner, the current best athlete in the men's 400m. In the cold and rainy Helsinki, Jimmy Warner still ran a time of 43.93 seconds in the 400m final, which is definitely a reflection of strong hard power.
In the face of such an opponent, Ye Qin did not feel nervous like Wang Liangyu before, but only excited and excited.
After years of not being able to compete in the IAAF Golden League and the finals, Ye Qin has missed a lot of Jimmy Warner's matches, but now that he finally has the opportunity, he is eager to know what kind of results he can run against such a top and powerful player.
In the IAAF World Cup men's 400m race, Ye Qin faced Sean Merritt and Gary Kikaya, although they were also strong, but their condition was obviously not as good as when they participated in the IAAF World Cup before.
In the end, under the pressure of Sean Merritt, a strong opponent, Ye Qin refreshed his personal best and ran a pretty good result, but Ye Qin himself felt that if Merritt was in better shape in that race, he might be able to stimulate some of his potential.
Ye Qin is now well aware of his state of competition, and it is almost impossible to completely throw a particularly amazing result without a challenge or without enough atmosphere in the arena.
He's not that type of player, he's an excited player, with a lot of pressure, a strong opponent to beat, and a crowd that applauds and cheers.
Only in this case can he continue to surpass himself and constantly refresh his best results.
Now, here's your chance!
And behind Ye Qin, at this time, there was also a gaze looking at Ye Qin and Jimmy Warner, and his eyes also flashed with burning battle intent.
Sean Merritt.
The athlete, who set a new PB in the men's 400m event this year, paid a little more attention to it when he looked at Ye Qin.
At the 2004 World Junior Championships, he won the race in 45.25 seconds, surpassing Yechin who was still runner-up, but he missed that opportunity because the U.S. team was so talented in the men's 400m event that he missed out on that opportunity.
Since then, his progress in the 400m event has also been amazing, from the best time of 45.25 seconds in 04 to 44.14 seconds in 06, two years, more than a second of progress, enough to prove his talent in this event.
But just a few days ago, at the IAAF World Cup, he lost to Ye Qin, which has always made him haunted, he has always been much better than Ye Qin in the 400m event, but the opponent has won several races.
It's not like Jimmy Warner's crushing difference, but stepping on the 400-meter track, he always wanted to be the world No. 1 in order to fulfill the wishes of his late brother.
Whether it's Jimmy Warner or this Chinese, Sean Merritt has a strong idea of defeating them deep down.
βOn your marks!β
On the field, a player with a Chinese-English accent came out.
Before the starting line of the men's 400m, nine runners paid attention to the running aids.
Ye Qin took two deep breaths, adjusted his last mentality, shook his legs slightly, stepped on the tray, leaned over and lowered his head, and pressed his fingers on the rough rubber runway surface.
The 80,000-person stadium, which was boiling like a pan of oil, gradually became less noisy and noisy after the sound of reminding the players to take their places.
βSETοΌβ
In the loudspeaker, the sound of preparation came out again.
The nine runners on the starting line got up almost instantly and were ready to start!
Syllable!
After a gunshot, the stadium, which had been quiet for a few minutes, returned to noisy and noisy again, and the sound was even louder than before.
At the moment when the gun rang out, Ye Qin had already shot out with the lightning, and his starting reaction and starting speed were very good among the current 400-meter runners.
After the start, Ye Qin began to accelerate rhythmically according to his own pace and pace.
Jimmy Warner's start was just as good as Yechin's, and in the sprint arena, black runners have always been dominant, and it's rare for a white or yellow athlete to succeed on this stage.
Jimmy Warner can be said to be one of the iconic figures who broke the ethnographic theory in recent years, just like Liu Yangyu.
Ye Qin has been following Jimmy Warner, maintaining a fixed rhythm, he is now faster than Jimmy Warner in the first half of the race, but this is a 400-meter race, not 100 meters, not 200 meters, and running too fast before will not lock up the final victory.
Sean Merritt in the fourth lane behind Ye Qin is a little faster, and Sean Merritt has always been quite good in the first half of the race, and his explosiveness and speed ability are very good among the 400m runners. At this year's Lausanne Super Grand Prix, Merritt competed in the men's 200m, running an astonishing time of 20.10 seconds. From this point of view, it is enough to show that his speed is not weak.
At the World Youth Championships, there was a record of directly dragging down the opponent's rhythm, but in the face of Jimmy Warner and Yechin, Sean Merritt was fast after the start, but he also had reservations.
Pace has always been a very important issue for a top 400m runner.
Jimmy Warner's strongest point is his acceleration at the 250m node, which is the node where most of the runners' bodies build up lactic acid and slow down, but Jimmy Warner often explodes at this time, leaps ahead of everyone else, and then maintains his strong speed ability to the end and win the championship.
Obviously, the same will be true for this race, and Yechin can feel that Jimmy Warner is not very fast after the start. In the face of such an opponent, he didn't dare to completely fight with the opponent for the second half of the race, and after accelerating at fifty meters, Ye Qin's speed began to gradually increase.
50 meters, 60 meters, 70 meters......
The cheers and noise of the spectators on the sidelines were fierce, but Mu Jiang, who was in charge of the commentary of the men's 400-meter race in the media seat, noticed something wrong at this time.
ββ¦β¦ Sixth course! Jamaica's Blackwood is very fast, is accelerating, and has gradually detached himself from the players...... He was accelerating and ran to the first position! β
Many spectators in the standlines also saw the change in the field at this time, Jamaican Blackwood in lane 6 has been accelerating rapidly since the start, and at a distance of 50 or 60 meters, France's Leslie Dellona, who has approached lane 7 in the corner, is chasing Gary Kikaya in lane 8.
This is a rare occurrence in the men's 400m, and even a fast runner like Yechin and Sean Merritt who can actually run the first half of the race will hardly sprint at full speed like Blackwood.
In the blink of an eye, the curve enters the straight!
Jimmy Warner in lane 5 glanced at Blackwood in lane 6 with brown sunglasses, and the speed also began to pick up.
In a 400-meter event, the strategy and tactics adopted by the competitors are different. Many runners may not have enough physical fitness and speed endurance in the second half of the race, and it is not impossible to try to run as much as possible in the first half of the race.
In the men's 400m, Jimmy Warner will not allow himself to fail, and the 2006 winning streak will end perfectly after this race.
After Blackwood started to accelerate, he couldn't help but start accelerating.
Ye Qin also noticed the increase in the speed of Blackwood in the sixth lane and Jimmy Warner in the fifth lane at this time, although his speed was increased a little in the first 100 meters, but there was still pressure to prepare for the sprint and physical fitness in the second half, but with his speed ability, he was still reducing a certain distance from Jimmy Warner.
But just after entering the straight, he felt the other party accelerating.
Ye Qin didn't hesitate too much, the second 100m itself was his specialty, and his speed advantage was able to be used to the best in this section of the straight, and his speed was also increased after Jimmy Warner picked up.
On the other side, Sean Merritt in the third lane also felt the difference of his opponent in front of him, and for a while he felt a bit like this game was not like a Grand Prix, but a bit like the World Championships Olympics.
According to this first half, if the last half of the second half can not be too slow, I am afraid that it will be able to run in less than 44 seconds.
"Accelerate! Hasten! Hasten! β
There was a boiling in the arena.
Jimmy Warner looked at Blackwood running in front of him, his pace and length were increasing at the same time, he was a world champion, the first man in the 400m, and he couldn't lose in a race like this.
In his heart, although he vaguely knows that this kind of running may be relatively less physical in the second half, he is very confident that other runners have to keep up with this speed in the first half, and once they keep up, it will be enough to drag down other runners, and when it comes to the final second half of the race, others will also have insufficient physical fitness.
If you don't keep up, it will not be easy to catch up in the second half alone when there is a huge disadvantage in the first half.
This is hard power here, and it can't be changed by a simple bit of tactical skills.
At the same time, Jimmy Warner also felt the pressure of this race after the start.
Not to mention the Jamaican player Blackwood in front, this bastard is obviously playing the purpose of rhythm, and the key is Yechin behind him.
He knows much more about Ye Qin than outsiders think, a yellow race, a subspecies athlete, can kill in the world athletics and achieve outstanding results one after another, it is by no means a good kind.
However, although he already paid a certain amount of attention to it in his heart, when he arrived at the arena, he found that the pressure brought to him by the other party was much greater than he thought.
From the corners after the start to the present know, Ye Qin has been putting a lot of pressure on him behind him, and if he doesn't want to be overtaken by Ye Qin in a distance of about 200 meters, he has to increase his speed even further.
180 meters, 190 meters, 200 meters......
In the blink of an eye, it has reached the stage of straight into the corner!
We are already halfway through the 400m race.
Although in the high-speed running, Jimmy Warner had already judged the form at this time, and he saw that the Blackwood in front of him had begun to slow down, leading the normal schedule, and now the speed has inevitably weakened significantly.
And getting into the second corner is the stage that Jimmy Warner does best.
With Yechin's footsteps still approaching behind him, Jimmy Warner has begun to adjust his weight and prepare to move from the straight into the corner.
Suddenly, in this very moment!
Jimmy Warner's body stiffened suddenly, and he only felt his thigh muscles twitch suddenly. The right leg seemed to be unable to step away at all, and in order to maintain the balance of the body, the left foot supported the center of gravity of the body, and the right foot hit the ground twice.
"Damn it!" Jimmy Warner roared wildly inside, from the moment Michael Johnson paid his attention before the game, he actually noticed that his muscles seemed to be a little tight, which was a legacy of previous injuries, but he didn't bring a physiotherapist over, and he didn't particularly care, he felt that he was in good shape.
But at such a critical moment, an accident happened.
Jimmy Warner was still thinking about adjusting his posture again and restarting, but in the blink of an eye, the players around him were already flooded like a tide.
Ye Qin was about to enter the corner from the straight when he noticed Jimmy Warner's movements, and the opponent's body seemed to tremble slightly, and the person slowed down.
Ye Qin was next to the opponent's Daoji, and his mind flashed that it was probably because of the opponent's injury, but the game was going on, and there was no time for him to think too much, and he ran quickly towards the front after passing Jimmy Warner.
Behind Ye Chin, Sean Merritt also noticed this, and it has become commonplace for everyone to suddenly retire due to injury in the game, and even many people have had it themselves, no one cares, and maintains the inherent rhythm and speeds forward quickly.
220m, 250m, 270m, 300m......
Corners into straights!
In the blink of an eye, the remaining eight players reached the most critical stage of the competition.
Blackwood, who led more than half of the field, had fallen behind the team by this time.
At the front were three men, Yechin in the fourth, Sean Merritt in the third, and Gary Kikaya in the eighth.
Ye Qin ran in the first position, and the moment he entered the straight, he actually felt that the other runners around him did not seem to be in good shape.
The first two or three hundred meters were led by Blackwood, and the others slowed down even more at this time.
Sean Merritt also felt that his body was getting more and more strained at this time, and now basically only he and Ye Qin were left to compete.
He wanted to catch up with Ye Qin, but at the moment when the corner entered the straight, he did not run out of the advantage, and after being overtaken by Ye Qin, he could only follow closely behind him, and it was difficult to catch up for a while.
Fifty meters, forty meters, thirty meters......
On the sidelines, Jimmy Warner had left the track the moment many competitors overtook him, and he took off his sunglasses in a rage, no longer arrogant, replaced by a face full of chagrin and loss.
The year-round winning streak ended here, and it was not because of his level and ability, but because he didn't take into account injuries and fatigue, which made him more and more uncomfortable.
On the field, Ye Qin ran more and more easily at this time, and it seemed that the whole race was around 200 meters, because after Jimmy Warner's sudden injury, the strong fighting spirit of the other players was discouraged.
44.89 seconds!
At the moment when Ye Qin crossed the finish line, he saw his final run!
One is a cut short of the previous IAAF World Cup results, but in the end they have already won the championship.
He was followed by Sean Merritt in 45.10 seconds, just past Gary Kikaya in 45.34 seconds, and Jamaica's Blackwood, who led the majority of the race, lacked stamina and finished third in 45.36 seconds.
Ye Qin stood in front of the finish line, panting again and again, his eyes skimming from time to time, and he had already left the direction of Jimmy Warner.
At this time, the cheers of the audience became more and more enthusiastic, in his own country, Ye Qin won the men's 400m championship again, no matter how the championship came about, the opponent had an accident because of any problems, but if he won, he won!
They are still happy and cheering!
Ye Qin calmed his breath a little and waved his hand to the audience on the sidelines, with a faint smile on his face, but there was a little regret in his heart.
I have been mentally preparing for this fight with Jimmy Warner for a long time, but in the end, in order to be as good as I wanted, a top 400m runner, including other Sean Merritt, is not in good shape after many major competitions in Europe.
Although Ye Qin was a little dissatisfied, he still won!
And for the entire 2006 season, it seems that only the Asian Games in December are left for him.
