Chapter 566: Finals! Greater than great!

"At the World Championships in Berlin, Ye Qin advanced to the men's 200m and men's 400m finals!"

"The Great War is imminent! Can Ye Qin achieve three consecutive world championships in the men's 200m? ”

"In order to seek stability, Ye Qinchuang started the slowest - "

"Men's 200m Peak Showdown, Ye Qin VS Yusse Bot, who will be the fastest one?"

"The time of the event is not reasonable, the 200m and 400m semi-finals are less than an hour apart!"

……

On August 20, the domestic and foreign media focused on the men's 200m and 400m semifinals last night.

The limelight even surpassed the home German discus thrower Robert Harting to win the discus gold medal and the Jamaican women's 100m in 12.51 seconds.

Almost all people who have some interest in track and field, or people in China, the United States, and Jamaica, have all focused on this year's men's 200m race at this time.

In previous World Championships, the men's 200m event was much less influential than the men's 100m. The men's 100m is the event that represents the limit of human speed, and it is the pearl of the entire track and field field.

The 200m can only be regarded as an ordinary event in all track and field events, and many Golden League and Grand Prix will set up men's 100m and men's 400m events, but the men's 200m event may be cut directly due to the competitors and venue time.

But at this World Championships in Berlin, the world's attention gathered in the men's 200m event this time is no less than the men's 100m event in front.

In the men's 100-meter showdown of the century a few days ago, various video footage is still being broadcast repeatedly on major TV stations and the Internet.

The three fastest runners on the planet have ever run the men's 100m in one of the most spectacular races.

Now, the same three athletes who have created miracles in the men's 100m have also returned to their best in the men's 200m, and will once again have a great showdown of speed in human history, which can be said to be unimaginable.

Many attentive media or spectators have found out from the resumes of Yechin, Usse Bot and Jason Gaby, who first made their mark in the international track and field arena in the men's 200m.

Yusse-Bot won the IAAF Rising Star Award in 2002 when he won the World Junior Championships in the men's 200m. Jason Gaby, who has been a professional men's 200m athlete from high school to college, participated in the World Championships in Helsinki in 05 and made everyone know him in the men's 200m event.

As for Ye Qin, he also achieved the most outstanding results in the 200m event at the 2003 World Junior Championships, the 2004 World Youth Championships and the Olympic Games, and the 2005 World Championships, becoming a world-class sprinter.

Jason Gaby has set a world third record in the 200m, Yechin is a two-time world champion in the 200m, and Yusse Bot is the men's 200m champion and world record holder at last year's Yenching Olympics.

What kind of sparks the three can hit in the men's 200m final tonight is something for everyone to look forward to.

As Yusse Bot once said to the public, "I wish I could win the 100m, but the 200m is my favorite compared to the 100m!" ”

At the World Championships in Osaka in 07, the men's 200m event at that time was three people who occupied the first three places, and tonight's game, not surprisingly, basically the top three places will also be swept by three people.

Now there is only one question, who will be the champion among the three players?

Can Ye Qin defend his World Championships men's 200m title for the third time in a row?

Can Yusse Bot keep his world record unbroken and win against two opponents?

Does Jason Gaby have what it takes to challenge the other two in the men's 200m after losing in the men's 100m?

All the suspense will be revealed in the men's 200m final tonight -

……

20 p.m., Olympic Stadium, Berlin.

Indoor check-in area.

"What about Yechin?"

Yuan Guohua just came in from outside, glanced at the warm-up track not far away, and immediately asked with some confusion.

"Call there!" Chen Zhongzhou pouted, and Yuan Guohua gestured not far away.

Yuan Guohua looked in the direction that Chen Zhongzhou was pointing, and immediately saw that in front of the wall next to the lounge, Ye Qin was holding a mobile phone in one hand and supporting the wall in the other, whispering something.

"Nonsense! It's time to start the game, so what's the call! Yuan Guohua shook his head, laughed and scolded, but he didn't really go over to let Ye Qin put down the phone.

He knew that Chen Zhongzhou had always been old and serious in this regard, and he would not mess around at will, and besides, everyone was young and had come over, looking at Ye Qin's appearance, he probably guessed what was going on.

"Don't worry, I'm not nervous!"

Standing in front of the wall of the lounge, Ye Qin held his mobile phone in his hand and said to Chen Zixi on the other end of the phone with a smile, "Let you come to Berlin to watch my game live, and you don't want to come over, otherwise, you can cheer me on the spot!" ”

"I'm not going." Chen Zixi's clear and pleasant voice on the other end of the phone was mixed with a bit of coquettishness, "Berlin is full of reporters, didn't you say that someone followed the door to the bathroom last time." I don't want to be on the list of you as a headliner. ”

"Isn't it good to be famous?" Ye Qin smiled, "You can also accept advertisements and enter the entertainment industry!" You weren't trying to say what kind of movie you were going to make......"

"Don't, no, I don't eat by my face, I rely on my IQ." Chen Zixi on the other end of the phone chuckled, and then hummed, "Don't think I don't know, that Cristiano Ronaldo who plays football has changed his girlfriend as a model, do you want to learn from others?" ”

"I don't know Cristiano Ronaldo." Ye Qin on the other end of the phone hurriedly explained, "Well, I've met Beckham once. ”

"I'm not going to be Victoria, you want to be beautiful!" Tsundere's voice continued to sound, paused, and continued, "But let me tell you, Yuanyuan is about to break off with me because I don't go to Berlin to watch your live game, and now she is messing with me every day at home, and even complaining to me with my mother." ”

"Then you wait for me to return home and bring them gifts! Well, so that you can live comfortably at home in the future. ”

"Hmph, no, my dad is on the same side as me."

"Really? My uncle called me, and he said that he was very sorry that he could not come to Berlin to watch the race, and asked me if I would be able to come in time for the men's 400m final and the 4Γ—100m relay......

"What......"

"Haha, it's almost!" After chatting for six or seven minutes, Ye Qin restrained the smile on his face and said to Chen Zixi on the other end of the phone, "I'm going to get ready to play!" ”

"Hmm." Hearing Ye Qin's words, the voice on the other end of the phone was obviously lowered, and after a few seconds, he said softly, "Come on, Ye Qin!" ”

After hanging up the phone, Ye Qin turned around and noticed that Yuan Guohua and Chen Zhongzhou not far away were all looking at him with a smile.

Ye Qin's mood was completely relaxed at this time, he actually received a call from his family and friends in China before the semi-finals, but at that time, his mood was much heavier than now, and he just said a few perfunctory words.

Tonight is the final of the men's 200m, which is also a very big challenge.

But after chatting casually with Chen Zixi, his mood suddenly became much broader.

"I'm no longer the boy who can only watch others collect their tickets while I watch. Every time I play, there are countless people cheering for me, they are shouting my name and cheering for me! ”

Ye Qin felt as if a force was surging in his heart, which was filled with the emotion of support and anticipation.

"Give it your all, I won't let you down!"

A thought silently rose in his heart, Ye Qin clenched his fists lightly, looked at the crowd waiting for him on the sidelines and smiled.

"Let's play!"

"Good!"

……

"Yusse, are you ready?"

On the other side, in the Jamaican lounge area, Yusse Bot put on the gold spikes sponsored by Puma and looked up to see Glenn Mills standing in front of him.

"Of course, I'm ready!"

Yusse-Bot stood up from his seat and thumped his chest lightly, grinning his white teeth, his usual ease and calm.

"Then get ready to play, I, your parents, and all the Jamaicans, will be watching you!" Glenn Mills said with a smile on his back.

β€œYes sir!”

Yusse-Bot restrained his smile and suddenly straightened up, giving a military salute he had given to all Jamaicans when he won the men's 200m at the World Junior Championships for the first time in 2002.

……

"Jason, get ready to play!"

In the rest area of the American team, Wallace Spearmon shouted as he looked at Jason Gaby, who was sitting not far away.

At this moment, the leaders of the U.S. team and many coaches and athletes, all eyes are on this side.

"Got it!"

Jason Gaby responded with his head down, and instead of standing up immediately, he looked at a photo in his hand.

In the photo is a little black girl dressed in fancy clothes with a sweet smile.

Jason Gaby remembers everything from her birth to her upbringing, only this time she didn't follow him to the Berlin scene.

"Dad, will you become a world champion?"

"Yes!"

Quietly tucking the photo into his gift bag, Jason Gaby couldn't help but smile when he remembered many conversations he had with his daughter when he was a child.

……

"The upcoming 2009 World Athletics Championships in Berlin, the men's 200m showdown, the theme of this race is to see the summit duel between Yechin and Yusse Bot, who is the current first man in the men's 200m.

Ye Qin, a two-time world champion in the men's 200m, missed the all-important 200m race after a surprise defeat at last year's Yenching Olympics. In that race, Yusse Bot performed the men's 200m miracle, breaking the world record once held by Michael Johnson with a time of 19.30 seconds.

In addition, it is worth looking forward to what Jason Gaby, who also lost at last year's Yenching Olympics, will do in his best 200m event after returning strong this year......

Yechin, Usse Both, Jason Gaby, Wallace Spearmon, this is also a strong conversation that everyone has always wanted to see...... The slogan of the men's 200m race is who is faster and who is the fastest...... No matter what kind of slogan, we want to see the final answer, even if there is a difference between 10 seconds and 10000 seconds and 1,000 seconds in the track and field field, there will always be only one person who wins the gold medal......"

It was 20:30 local time in Berlin and 3:30 a.m. Beijing time on August 21.

Countless spectators who stayed up late and sat in front of the TV watched the footage of the Olympic Stadium in Berlin broadcast on the TV screen.

Bright lights, blue track, and a crowd of more than 70,000 spectators, in front of the men's 200-meter starting line, eight runners are already standing waiting to take their seats.

Attentive spectators can even see that on both sides of the track, almost densely packed with reporters, carrying cameras and cameras with various long guns and short guns, are taking pictures of the athletes.

In Mu Jiang's explanation, the thousands of viewers in front of the TV at this moment were nervous.

For the men's 200m event at last year's Olympic Games, countless people are full of regrets, and it can even be said that if it were not for Ye Qin's outstanding performance in the men's 100m and 400m events, there might be a few words of scolding on the Internet and media reports.

And now, it is finally time for Ye Chin to face off against Yusse Bot head-on, and this moment makes all the spectators present can't help but boil their blood.

"Come on! Yechin! ”

A silent command continued to sound.

The men's 100m and men's 400m events have been notified, and now there is only one left, and that is the men's 200m event.

Whether or not Ye Qin can win this competition is in a sense an important step in his entire history in athletics.

The sprint event that dominated an era, the king of all-round speed, is witnessed today......

"The first one, Arlett from France, is very tall and has a lot of movement, and his best time this year is 20.45 seconds.

Second, Alonso Edward from Panama, who is only 19 years old and has great potential in the men's 200m.

The third is Steve Mullins of Jamaica, who replaced Powell and Flatt, who is a very fast and powerful athlete of this kind of movement.

Fourth, Wallace Spearmon from the United States, who is also a veteran of the battlefield and has set a personal best of 19.65 seconds. Wallace Spearmon used to have dirty braids, but this time for the finals, he specially cut it short and bald, which represents his determination to work on this project.

In the fifth way, the men's 200m champion and world record holder of the Yenching Olympics, the current first person in the men's 200m, and Yusse Bote, who had a peak duel with Ye Qin in the men's 100m event at this World Championships. His nickname today is Berlin Bear, so let's take a look at what kind of performance he can give to audiences around the world today.

In the sixth lane, Jason Gaby, the current world men's 100m third man, 07 World Championships men's 200m second place, in many occasions, Jason Gaby has run very amazing results. Considered the only athlete in the men's 100m and 200m events to pose a threat to Yechin and Usse Both, he will join Wallace Spearmon and Sean Crowder today to defend Team USA's sprint glory.

The seventh, Yechin. Ye Qin was the 2005 and 2007 World Champions in the men's 200m, and today is an important match for Ye Qin's return to the men's 200m after the Yenching Olympics. Last year, he and Yusse Bot couldn't argue who was the first man in the 200m, and we will see that this year in this athletics.

The eighth lane is from Athens Olympic champion, Sean Crowder, who will also be on this venue today, paying tribute to their predecessor, Jesse Owens, who has created four titles at this venue......"

With Mu Jiang's commentary, the information of the eight players in the men's 200-meter final appeared in front of everyone at the scene and in front of the TV.

First Lane, David Arat, France

second, Alonso Edward, Panama;

Third Lane, Steve Mullins, Jamaica;

Fourth Lane, Wallace-Spearmon, USA;

Fifth Lane, Yusse-Bote, Jamaica;

Sixth Way, Jason Gaby, USA;

Seventh Dao, Yechin, China;

Eighth Lane, Sean Crowder, USA;

Throughout the Berlin Stadium, the atmosphere at this time has become hotter and hotter, countless people are waving cheering sticks and jumping on the spectators, and almost the entire audience can't help but stand up and wait for the upcoming game.

In front of the men's 200-meter starting line, in the midst of the hustle and bustle, Ye Qin took off the thin T-shirt he was wearing, revealing the red sprint suit inside.

The runners on the other tracks were basically the same, everyone was taking off their coats and making final preparations before the race.

About ten minutes have passed since the time of warming up indoors, and in order to ensure the heat of the body, basically the athletes wear coats to keep warm.

Ye Qin stood in front of the starting line, slowly adjusting his breathing, and gradually mobilizing his physical state with the boiling scene.

He had always thought that he might be nervous in the men's 200m final, but after he actually stepped on the track, he found that he was only hot in his heart at the moment, and only had the urge to run with all his might.

The nervousness has already been experienced once in yesterday's semi-finals, and with his current experience and mental quality, even if he is a little cautious, it will not appear on his face at all.

Pressed his legs on the spot, did a few more abdominal jumps, and gently patted his thighs, he felt that he had been in a state of suffocation for the past few days, and he could finally run with all his strength in this game.

He doesn't have any idea of winning the championship or breaking the record in his heart now, but more of an excitement to run with a competitor of the same level and level.

In private, Yuan Guohua has said many times that this is the best era in the sprint event, especially in the men's 100m and 200m events, God almost deliberately put together every peak sprinter who can rule an era.

Let them, the best, compete together and constantly push the limits of humanity. This is a rarity in the entire history of human competition.

Great athletes naturally have great opponents to foil them.

β€œOn your marks!”

A sound of everyone in place sounded on the sidelines.

The entire Berlin Olympic Stadium, which seemed to be boiling, gradually calmed down after this sound was in place.

Whether it is in front of the TV or the audience, almost everyone is waiting for this moment, looking silently at the starting line of the scene or the crowd on the TV screen.

Ye Qin adjusted his breathing lightly, and slowly walked onto the runner, and the whole person completely eliminated all interference from the outside world at this time.

Now, all he has in his eyes is the blue runway that looks into the distance.

His feet landed on the runner, and it seemed that at this moment, all the sounds around him disappeared, only the sound of his own breathing and heartbeat.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The race is about to start and the runners are now on the running booster ......"

Mu Jiang's voice stopped abruptly after this sentence, and it seemed that his whole person unconsciously converged his voice with every move of the players.

β€œSET!”

The clear sound of preparation was heard again.

The moment Ye Qin heard the voice, he almost subconsciously raised his body and prepared to start.

Syllable!

A crisp match gun rang out!

"Game on!!"

At the moment when the gunshots rang out, Mu Jiangcai, the on-site commentator, seemed to wake up from Fang Cai's silence, and suddenly shouted loudly.

At the moment when the gunshot rang out, Ye Qin's feet suddenly kicked on the runner, his arms swung rapidly, and he began to start and accelerate.

At this moment, he didn't think about whether he would rush or not, and now it was the final, and the final needed to get rid of all the messy thoughts.

And at the moment when Ye Qin started, all the runners in the other lanes started quickly at the same time.

The entire Olympic Stadium went from being silent to being extremely noisy.

10 meters, 20 meters, 30 meters......

Ye Qin has increased his speed to the extreme, since the men's 100m race, he has been pressing his speed for the past few days, and he has tried not to get excited too early.

And now, the time has come!

You can sprint with all your might, run with all your might!

10 meters, 20 meters, 30 meters......

Ye Chin's fast start and acceleration ability was fully demonstrated at this moment, and at just thirty meters away, he had already begun to approach Sean Claude in the eighth lane.

In the men's 200m final, Ye Qin was in lane seven, a relatively outward lane. He didn't do very well in the semi-finals, so it's normal for him to be placed on this path.

But since he was on the outside, he couldn't clearly notice the other opponents, so he needed to run with all his might.

Forty meters, fifty meters, sixty meters......

Almost halfway through the corner, Yechin had already overtaken Sean Crowder on the outside, and the riders on the scene could clearly see the difference in absolute strength.

At the same time in the fifth and sixth lanes, at this moment, Usse Bot and Jason Gaby also broke out with all their might!

Almost the entire track and field field, I saw in an instant that the three players started at the same corner, but there was a significant gap with other players in the corner.

In particular, Ye Qin and Yusse Bot are not able to fully gauge which of each other is faster in the corners, but they can still clearly see that the two have an absolute lead over all other opponents.

60 meters, 70 meters, 80 meters......

Jason Gaby was stunned as he saw that Yechin in lane seven in front of him was speeding away from him, while Yusse Bot in lane fifth behind him was approaching and chasing him, and the distance between the two in the corners was almost a line.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Yechin started very quickly and was not affected by the previous sprint, with Yusse Bot close behind, and the two of them should have surpassed their opponents by more than five positions at the 80-meter position...... Corners into straights!! ”

In the sound of commenting on Mu Jiang's speed as a bullet, on the field, Ye Qin and Yusse Bot had already run to the position where the corner was close to the straight.

In an instant, two voices, one red and one yellow, seemed to flash by lightning.

The two entered the straight stage at about the same time.

At this moment, the audience could barely tell who was faster with the naked eye!

The difference in the 100-meter level is only a short 0.01 second, which is almost the same at such a distance.

The two men were followed by Jason Gaby, the third man in the men's 100m, who was not as fast as Yechin and Yusse Bot in the corners, but still far ahead of the others.

The three of them are like a whirlwind hanging on the blue runway, quickly advancing towards the finish line!

Eighty meters, seventy meters, sixty meters......

Jason Gaby is still very fast, but as the distance lengthens, he and Yetin and Yusse Bot in front of him are slowly being pulled away a little.

He has a strong ability to maintain his speed and explosiveness, but there is still a gap compared to Yechin and Yusse Both, one is the 100m and 400m world record holder, and the other is the 200m world record holder with height and leg length.

The last fifty meters......

Ye Qin barely needed to observe to know that Yusse Bot was not far from him, and the same Yusey Bot was running as he was telling, and the corner of his eye could also notice that Ye Qin was always by his side.

The scene at this time is almost a replica of the men's 100m final final.

Forty meters, thirty meters, twenty meters......

Getting closer to the finish line......

Behind the two, the positions of the other players between each other have also appeared in the eyes of many spectators throughout the time.

Jason Gaby maintained the lead in the third position, while Wallace Spearmon, who deliberately cut a bald head for this final, was behind the other competitors in the first 150 meters, and at this point in the straight, he suddenly burst out of the second half of the acceleration that he is best at, overtaking Jamaica's Steve Mullins and chasing after the athletes in front.

In the final moment of Wallace Spearmon's outburst...... Ye Qin's speed suddenly increased.

In the men's 200m, most people run at a faster pace from the start, to the high-speed part of the race, and then to the second half of the race.

The 1670 meters in front of Yechin and Yusse Bot were like this, the two were neck and neck, and it was difficult to distinguish between them, and even in the middle of the distance, Yuser Bot used a super wide pace to slightly surpass Yechin's momentum.

But in the last thirty or forty meters, Ye Qin's speed suddenly ushered in an explosion again!

This was the biggest technical feature that allowed him to make his mark in the men's 200m and men's 400m events before the men's 100m.

Although the 200m is not the same as the 400m, the speed burst in this final stage is not as eye-catching as the 400m, allowing many spectators outside the stadium to see it clearly.

But for Ye Qin and Usse Bote, the stalemate of the two is enough to distance themselves from each other!

Twenty meters, ten meters...... Five-meter ......

Rush the line!

The entire Berlin stadium was silent for half a second, and then suddenly erupted into earth-shattering shouts.

Commentator Mu Jiang jumped up directly from his seat in an instant, tore off the buttons on his shirt, and shouted: "Sprint!" Yechin! Ye Chin won! Yechin set a new world record!! Champion!! The king of omnibious speed! Yechin has defeated the great Yusse Bot and he is now the true world No. 1! Greater than great! ”

On the yellow timing board on the scene, the results of the men's 200-meter final appeared at the moment when Ye Qin and Yusse Bot crossed the finish line in an instant!

19.15 seconds!

And Yusse Both, who crossed the finish line with Ye Qin, ran an astonishing time of 19.18 seconds in this group of peak duels!

From Michael Johnson's 19.32-.32 seconds world record in the men's 200m in 1996, to 12 years later, when Yusse Bot set a new record of 19.30 seconds at the Yenching Olympics, to a year later, Yechin and Yusse Bot both ran 19.20 seconds in this pinnacle duel.

Ye Qin even improved the men's 200m world record by 0.15 seconds in one fell swoop, which is legendary!!

On the big screen at the scene, the moment when the results of this group of men's 200m finals appeared quickly, people saw what amazing results the players ran in this peak duel.

1. Seventh lane, Ye Qin, China, starting reaction 0.129 seconds, time 19.15 seconds;

2. Fifth lane, Yusse Bote, Jamaica, starting reaction 0.133 seconds, time 19.18 seconds;

3. Sixth lane, Jason Gaby, USA, starting reaction 0.147 seconds, time 19.68 seconds;

4. Second lane, Alonso Edward, Panama, starting reaction 0.179 seconds, time 19.81 seconds;

5. Fourth lane, Wallace Spearmon, USA, starting reaction 0.152 seconds, time 19.85 seconds;

6. Lane 8, Sean Crowder, USA, starting reaction 0.148 seconds, time 19.89 seconds;

7. Third lane, Steve Mullins, Jamaica, starting reaction 0.146 seconds, time 19.98 seconds;

8. First lane, David Allett, France, starting reaction 0.161 seconds, time 20.68 seconds;

Seven of the eight runners had reached the 20-second mark, with France's David Allette perhaps losing confidence after the start and a gap of more than a second to the fastest runner in front.

The entire Olympic Stadium and the countless spectators who sat in front of the TV to watch the game were completely boiling at this moment!
