Chapter 411: A New Challenger for 100 Meters
In the track and field arena at this time, facing the soaring Asafavir, the pressure is definitely not imaginable by ordinary people.
In many cases, top athletes can put a lot of pressure on other opponents just by being on the field, and this pressure is not invisible, but the result of winning and achieving one game after another.
From '06 to the present, there has been basically a men's 100-meter race, with Asafavil participating, and most of the competitors can only compete for second place.
Running through the 10-second mark seemed as easy for Asafavil as breathing and drinking. Throughout the '06 season, Powell ran 10 times in the normal 2.0 m/s wind speed to overtake Morris Green and become the person who ran the fastest time of less than 10 seconds in a year.
In last year's Brussels Golden League, Powell was in good shape, and even said before the game that he was ready to break his own world record of 9.77 seconds, but because the referee fired too fast, Powell's best start was not sufficient. But even so, Powell still won the championship with a time of 9.99 seconds.
Only in the face of such a top player can he fully play his best and fully tap his potential under the pressure of such a player.
The more you compete with high-level players, the more you can improve yourself. This internal and external pressure allows him to focus completely on the game itself.
Moreover, in this men's 100-meter race, except for Asafavir, the other athletes are not weak, Obikviru, Orusoki-Fasuba and others have all run under 9.90 seconds, and if the condition is good enough, they can run very amazingly.
“On your marks!”
On the sidelines, a password sounded to remind the players to be in place!
Ye Qin made a belly jump on the spot, mobilized the state of his body, took two deep breaths, looked at the finish line in front of him, and slowly walked onto the runner.
Since he started to prepare for the men's 100m last year, he can feel that he has improved significantly in the past year, and he has even run several times in the stopwatch time of 9.70 seconds during training.
But in the real 100-meter race, he has not experienced much so far, and the total is only three or five races, but the mentality that he has practiced in the men's 200-meter and men's 400-meter races for many years has made Ye Qin not unbalanced at this time.
He can feel the excitement, the excitement, but he doesn't really feel the fear of Asafavil's strength, he just wants to challenge such strong people, defeat them, win them.
The thought of a short moment quickly turned, and after Ye Qin's feet landed on the pedals of the running aid, he quickly focused his attention completely on the field.
Stay focused and listen quietly to the gunshots that are about to sound.
“SET!”
With a sound of preparation, the eight runners got up neatly and made a starting posture.
Syllable!
Then there was a gunshot at the start of the game!
At the moment when the gunshot rang out, Ye Qin's feet suddenly kicked on the runner, his hands quickly swung his arms, and he took quick steps to accelerate.
At the same time, the reactions of the other players were not weak at all, and some were even one point faster than Ye Qin, and they all lowered their heads and accelerated at the first time, and sprinted forward quickly.
10 meters, 20 meters, 30 meters......
Ye Qin could feel that his start and acceleration were not slow in this group of competitions, but compared with the same top men's 100m athletes, such a slow was not so disadvantaged that he would not be able to gain an advantage, but it was unlikely that he would gain an advantage.
Francis Obikviru, who was in the second lane next to Yechin, was more than 1.90 meters tall, and the starting speed of this race was also very fast, and the first 30 meters were almost neck and neck with Yechin.
On the other side, Asafavir in the seventh lane, at this moment, the short acceleration of 30 meters has already exceeded the distance of one position of other players.
The explosive start in the world, every movement is the most ergonomic way to exert force, like a textbook action, in just a few steps, let Asafavil take the lead.
It can be said that in the entire history of track and field in the men's 100m event, it is estimated that the only person who can compete with Asafavil in the starting line is former world record holder Maurice Green.
It's just that the two are not in the same era, and the gap between the six years before and after is completely staggered from each other's peaks.
Forty meters, fifty meters, sixty meters......
When Ye Qin entered the forty meters, his speed gradually increased. Because it was in the first lane, when he looked up and entered the middle running stage, the corner of his eye could only notice the second lane Obikviru next to him, the Athens Olympics men's 100m runner-up, the fastest runner in Europe at the moment, the strength is indeed amazing.
He was much taller than him, and he was not slower than him in the early start and acceleration phases, and even half a position faster.
But after Ye Qin's speed was fully increased, he gradually caught up with Obi Keviru at the position of fifty meters. The former Nigerian phenom sprinter is not to be underestimated, but it is clear that he is not at the peak of his game at the Athens Olympics.
Sixty meters, Yechin had already overtaken Obikviru, his eyes kept looking at the finish line ahead. Due to the interval of the passes, he did not dare to look left and right to find Asafavil's position, and could only start sprinting with all his might, and his speed increased to the highest speed.
On the other side, after 60 meters, Asafavil clearly felt that he had established an advantage, and next to him, Orusoki Fasuba in lane 6 and Mark Burns in lane 8, although not weak, were not at all the same level as him.
If the two are at their best, they may be able to compete with him a little, but in this race, after thirty or forty meters, Asafavir feels that there is almost no opponent around him.
However, Asafavil didn't let up, and although he had outpaced a few of the competitors around him, he vaguely felt like someone was chasing him in the other lanes.
The men's 100m race, after all, is not the 200m and 400m, he can relax properly, but not too easy to run.
Seventy meters, eighty meters, ninety meters......
In the stands of the Beaslet Stadium, the audience rang out a huge exclamation at this time!
This exclamation has two meanings, one is that although the race is not over, many spectators have already seen that their own country's athlete Martin Raddahl was thrown away by the other competitors before the start of 30 meters, and is getting farther and farther away, by this time there is a gap of almost 10 meters to the person in front of him.
On the other hand, after passing the 60-meter lead, it seemed that the situation on the field was beyond many people's expectations, and Asafavir in lane 7 took the lead, clearly showing his absolute strength beyond everyone else.
But on the first lane on the inside of the very edge, there was also a person who was rapidly approaching Asafavil, and at seventy meters, there seemed to be a gap of two or three positions between the two, but when it reached eighty meters, the gap gradually narrowed to a distance of more than one body.
At 90 meters, many viewers who are not very good at the angle can no longer tell which of the two is in front and who is behind, and it feels almost like they are neck and neck.
Ninety-five meters...... Ninety-seven meters......
Rush the line!
Many spectators couldn't help but stand up at the start of the race, their necks stretched out, their eyes fixed on the finish line.
The men's 100m race is so fast that the athletes' performance on the field is completely electric, and a little blink will miss the most crucial moment!
They didn't want to miss it, but the naked eye still couldn't quickly capture the dynamics between the players at this moment, especially Yechin in the first lane and Asafavil in the seventh lane.
After Ye Qin crossed the finish line with his head down, he raised his head and looked at the result on the timing board for the first time, 9.91 seconds!
Then, Ye Qin turned his head to look at Asafavir in the seventh lane, who had already crossed the finish line, and turned his head to look at him in the same surprise. Obviously, Asafavil did not expect that someone in this group of men's 100 meters would hold him until the end.
"Did I win or lose?"
Ye Qin gasped heavily, his brain couldn't react for a while, and the last moment he crossed the line was too focused to have time to care, and he didn't know if he had won against Asafavir.
At this moment, on the big screen at the scene, the results of this group of men's 100 meters appeared:
1. First lane, Ye Qin, China, reaction 0.157, score 9.93 seconds;
2. 7th lane, Asafavir, Jamaica, reaction 0.152, time 9.94;
3. Lane 2, Francis Obiqueru, Portugal, reaction 0.165, time 10.06;
4. Lane 6, Olusoki Fasuba, Nigeria, reaction 0.163, time 10.25;
5. Fifth lane, Mark Lewis Francis, GBR, reaction 0.177, time 10.25;
6. Eighth lane, Mark Burns, Trinidad and Tobago, reaction 0.147, time 10.26;
7. Third lane, Darrell Brown, Trinidad and Tobago, reaction 0.159, time 10.28;
8. Fourth lane, Martin Raddahl, Norway, reaction 0.179, time 10.61;
"Win!"
Looking at the moment when the results on the big screen came out, Ye Qin felt a strong excitement in his heart, he actually won Asafarevill in the men's 100-meter race, and greatly improved his performance in the men's 100-meter, setting a new personal PB and Asian record!
Asafavir was also a little shocked at the moment he saw the results, although this game was not his 100% performance, but basically he was not too reserved, he played well from the start to the middle run, but what he didn't expect was that he was chased by Ye Qin at a distance in the final sprint stage and surpassed himself!
"Could it be that in the men's 100m, I have one more challenger?"
Asafavir looked at the Chinese youth standing in the middle of the arena and the happy Chinese youth, and this thought crossed his mind.
