Chapter 410: Golden League Oslo Station

The annual Bislet Games are the day of athletics carnival in the city of Oslo, Norway, dating back to 1924. The famous Bislet Stadium was once used for speed skating at the Olympics, but later the Bislet Games became famous for its athletics competitions.

As of 2007, the Bislet Athletics Competition has produced dozens of world records in athletics and attracts the best track and field athletes from around the world every year.

Because the Bislet Games are sponsored by ExxonMobil Corporation of the United States, the official name is also known as the ExxonMobil Bislet Games. Since 1998, the Bislet Games have been included in the IAAF Golden League, which is the Golden League in Oslo, Norway.

Since its launch, the IAAF Golden League has been known for its high rewards, and in the first few seasons of its launch, it has been a million-dollar prize that attracts a large number of athletes.

In 2000 and 2001, the million dollar was changed to a 50-kilogram gold bar, and in 2003 the award was changed to a 50-kilogram gold bar to become a million dollars, which was awarded to the athletes who won all six races.

By 2006, the total prize money for the IAAF Golden League was still US$1 million, but when the rules of the prize had changed, athletes who won any five of the six Golden League events had the opportunity to receive US$250,000 and the remaining US$750,000 would be shared by the athletes who won the six tournaments.

The $750,000 winners of the '06 six-stage winners were Asafavil in the men's 100m, Jimmy Warner in the men's 400m and Richards in the women's 400m. Among them, Asafavir and Jimmy Warner almost won almost all of the 06 season, only to lose in the last race at the end of the season (Jimmy Warner at the Shenghai Grand Prix, Asafavir lost at the Yokohama Grand Prix in Japan), breaking their own winning streak myth.

The Golden League Million Dollar Prize in '07 was a slightly different rule than in '06, this time the rule was that the $1 million prize money would only be given priority to the six Golden League winners, who would split it equally among themselves. If there had been no athlete who had won all six of the tournaments, he would have retreated to the next best thing, with the athletes who won five of the six Golden League tournaments sharing the $500,000.

Yechin arrived in Oslo, Norway, on June 12, just a few days before the Golden League in Oslo, Norway, on June 15.

After getting off the plane and settling in at the hotel, Yechin did not start training immediately, and after a long direct flight from Eugene to Oslo, it was not suitable to start training immediately.

So, they walked around the Nordic city of Oslo together.

Liu Yangyu did not accompany him in this Golden League game, Liu Yangyu's team returned to China to participate in a business event after finishing the game in Eugene, and then will meet with Ye Qin and others in Paris in early July to participate in the Golden League in Paris.

Oslo is a famous tourist city in Northern Europe, the style of the whole city is a bit similar to Helsinki when Yechin arrived at the World Championships in 05, many innovative buildings, historic museums and some unique bars and cafes are quite eye-catching.

After a trip to Oslo and a period of time difference and rest, the next day, on June 13, Ye Qin continued to carry out the adaptation training before the Golden League, striving to adjust his condition to the best.

He has already set his strategy for this year's Golden League, which will only have three stops in Oslo, Paris and Rome before the World Championships in Osaka, Japan on 25 August, and Zurich, Brussels and Berlin after the World Championships.

Ye Qin's plan is to participate in the men's 100m race in the first three Golden League events of the World Championships, and as for the next three events of the World Championships, it will be seen after the World Championships.

The main reason why he has not decided to participate in the men's 200m is that the organising committee of the men's 200m event is not necessarily set up in the Golden League and many super grands and grandxes.

If Ye Qin wants to challenge for the million-dollar grand prize of the six-stop Golden League, he can only participate in the men's 100m and men's 400m races, in contrast, his purpose at this time is more focused on the men's 100m, and he wants to hone himself through the IAAF's Golden League men's 100m master.

In addition, if he wants to participate in the men's 200m and 400m races, before the World Championships, his entire schedule in Europe will include five or six Grand Prix and Super Grand Prix races in addition to the three Golden Leagues.

In addition to the IAAF World Tour Golden League, Super Grand Prix, Grand Prix, as well as regional Asian Grand Prix, World Youth Junior Championships, European Cups, EAA Outdoor Competitions and other large and small track and field events.

Summer in the northern hemisphere can be said to be the most concentrated and frequent stage of track and field events in the year, and it is also the easiest time for track and field athletes to produce results.

On June 15, at 15:35 p.m., the Bislett Stadium was already full of people and noisy.

As an annual classic track and field event in Oslo, it naturally attracts a large number of Norwegian spectators and tourists from all over the world.

The men's 100m race at this year's IAAF Golden League in Oslo is about to begin, and this year's Oslo Golden League has a total of two men's 100m races due to the large number of athletes participating in the men's 100m and the fact that the host country, Norway, has several sprinters.

Among them, the strength of the first race is the current international athletics men's 100m event is relatively high, and the strength of the second field is relatively weak.

Ye Qin was placed in the first race, and he was on the same starting line as the current men's 100m world record holder Asafavier.

At this time, on the big screen at Bislet Stadium, the list of eight players in the first men's 100-meter race has appeared in front of the audience.

First, Yechin, China;

Second way, Francis Obiqueru, Portugal;

third lane, Darrell Brown, Trinidad and Tobago;

Fourth lane, Martin Raddahl, Norway;

Fifth Way, Mark Lewis-Francis, England;

Sixth Lane, Orusoki-Fasuba, Nigeria;

Seventh Path, Asafarville, Jamaica;

Eighth Lane, Mark Burns, Trinidad and Tobago;

This men's 100-meter race, on the whole, is already a relatively high level in the men's 100-meter competition in the current international track and field competition.

Eight riders in the field, except for the fourth host athlete Martin Raddahl's personal best of 10.46 seconds, and the fifth lane of Mark Lewis Francis's PB of 10.04 seconds, the other six athletes, including Yechin, all achieved a personal best of less than 10 seconds.

The second lane, Francis Obikviru, set a personal best of 9.86 seconds in the men's 100m at the Athens Olympics '04, the third Darrell Brown, with a personal best of 9.99 seconds, the sixth Olusoki Fasuba's personal best was 9.85 seconds in the '06 Doha Super Grand Prix and Jax Thelin duel, and the seventh Asafavir, the world record holder, has run twice in a row to 9.77 seconds. In lane eight, Mark Burns, a personal best of 9.96 seconds.

Moreover, among the many competitors present, even Mark Lewis Francis in the fifth lane ran a good time of 9.97 seconds with a wind speed of 2.1 m/s.

In this men's 100-meter track, Ye Qin is not the protagonist, and now the focus of the audience's attention, in addition to the host athletes, is the most Asafavir in lane seven.

The Jamaican, who can be said to have ended the US men's 100m hegemony, stood on the field with a very calm expression at this time.

It's been two years since he broke the world record at the Athens Grand Prix in 2005 with a time of 9.77 seconds, and in those two years he has been challenged by countless top finishers, but he's still the one at the top.

In this match, Asafarvir noticed Yechin's participation. As early as the 05 World Championships, because of the relationship between Yusse Bot, he knew Ye Qin, a Chinese player from the East.

However, Ye Qin's focus has always been on the men's 200m and 400m, and the two have never played each other on the field. And, compared to Jason Gaby, who has been impressive in both the men's 100m and 200m last summer, Yechin has not put any pressure on Asafavir.

Even if Ye Qin ran 9.80 seconds with a score of 2.2 m/s in the men's 100m race in New York, he did not think that Ye Qin would be his opponent.

Of course, it is impossible to completely ignore nature, and the men's 200m champion at the World Championships, the first Asian player to break the 10-second barrier, undoubtedly has enough strength.

At this time, the only one who can be regarded as an opponent by Asafavil is Jason Gaby who really feels the pressure. At last year's IAAF World Cup, he withdrew from the men's 100m and did not compete head-to-head with Jason Gaby.

Ye Qin didn't know if Asafarville valued him or not, and he could now feel a slight trembling sensation in his body.

Not scared, not nervous, but excited.

Just like in the men's 200m final at the World Championships in Helsinki in '05, he faced Jax Thelin and other top athletes, and being able to compete with the world's top athletes has always been what he wants to do the most.
