At 9:10 p.m. on August 23, the atmosphere at the Olympic Stadium reached its climax. The sound of cheers and cheers almost toppled the roof of the shed, with the stadium as the center, and spread several kilometers away.

In anticipation of tens of thousands of spectators and countless spectators sitting in front of the TV, the men's 400m final was in full swing on the Olympic Stadium track at this time, after the race guns rang out.

In the midst of the noise and noise of the audience, countless cheers and shouts, Ye Qin sat in the audience and watched the eight galloping and thick men's 400m finalists, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

As soon as the eight finalists appeared in front of the starting line of the finals, Ye Chin's eyes fell on a white young man wearing sunglasses in the fourth lane.

Regardless of the color differences in the sprint jerseys of various countries, among the finalists with a dry black complexion, the young man's white complexion is particularly striking and eye-catching.

After the gunshots rang out in the race, Ye Qin unconsciously changed from sitting to standing, this white young man's sprinting skills are too distinctive, the amplitude of the swing arm is very large, and the pace is increased by the swing arm, and then the cadence is guaranteed, the speed is very amazing.

Ye Qin saw very clearly that the first half of the other party's journey was very fast, but in comparison, it was not particularly amazing and prominent, just from entering the second corner, a distance of two hundred and fifty meters, that speed instantly made him tremble a little.

With the centrifugal force of the corner, the opponent suddenly began to accelerate, probably from the fourth or so, and suddenly overtook it, especially when it was about to enter the final straight stage, the white runner overtook the second to the third position, and then with the speed ability of the second half, the speed was very fast, and when there were still about forty or fifty meters from the finish line, he ran to the first, completely ahead of the others.

Even at this moment, Ye Qin felt that if the opponent had an opponent of equal strength to stimulate him, it was likely that the white player would be able to be faster.

Finally, hit the line!

got the first place without any suspense.

Ye Qin noticed the other party's score when he crossed the finish line, 44.00 seconds!

A result that he couldn't even think of at this time.

The cheers and applause of the audience exploded in the stadium stands like firecrackers the moment the opponent crossed the finish line. A group of reporters in the media section at the very edge of the stands almost immediately jumped over various advertising barriers and rushed directly into the arena after the runners crossed the finish line, and the cameras were all aimed at the white young man wearing sunglasses.

Ye Qin ...... Ye Qin ......? ”

Yu Weili also stood up and applauded lightly for the performance of the white young man, and suddenly noticed that Ye Qin, who seemed to have blood on his face and became extremely excited, reached out and patted him lightly on the shoulder.

Ye Qin let out a long breath, calming the excitement in his heart, and his tense muscles gradually relaxed.

He was out of the 400m heats in the first round and was not able to compete with the white youth, but he saw that his first runner in the preliminaries, Derek of the United States and Brandon of Jamaica, only finished third and fifth, and was far behind by the white youth who won the championship.

If you just look at the difference of 0.1 seconds and 1 second in the results, many people may not be able to understand it, but Yechin, Derek and Brandon have run through the preliminaries, and they know very well that they won easily in the preliminaries, and they did not do their best at all.

And in this final, when the two are completely at their best, there is a huge gap between them and this white player.

Almost a few minutes after the end of the men's 400-meter final, the results of this group of finals were played on the big screen on the scene, and the top three were all American players.

In the first place, in the fourth lane, Jimmy Warner of the United States, clocked 44.00 seconds, followed by two other American athletes, Harris and Derek, who clocked 44.16 seconds and 44.42 seconds respectively.

"It's no wonder that world junior champion Raun Merritt couldn't even qualify for the Olympics." Ye Qin looked at the results on the big screen at the scene, compared his own strength, and said with emotion.

"This is the second time since Seoul 1988 that the U.S. team has completely swept the top three in the men's 400m." Yu Weili looked at the results on the screen on the scene, nodded, and then glanced at Ye Qin, with a smile on his face, "What, discouraged?" Or are you scared by them? ”

"Nope." Ye Qin shook his head, "I just think they are very powerful, and I have to continue to work hard." ”

"That's right. Ye Qin, you are still young, and the road is still long. Yu Weili looked at the white youth near the finish line, wearing the Star-Spangled Banner, who was sought after by the media and spectators, and continued, "Champion Jimmy Warner, he is white in Texas, 20 years old this year, plus this Olympic final, he has run under 45 seconds for the eighth time this year, it should be said that he is the best men's 400m runner this season, I am not surprised by his victory, and even, I am looking forward to him winning the championship." ”

"Huh?" Ye Qin glanced at Yu Weili, slightly different, "Ba is looking at Jimmy Warner to win the championship?" ”

Yu Weili smiled and nodded, "A European report yesterday said that after Michael Johnson retired from winning the last men's 400m gold medal at the Sydney Olympics, the men's 400m event has been waiting for a new king to come. Judging from the current king, it should be Jimmy Warner. ”

Before the game, Jimmy Warner was already favored and hyped by the media in Europe and the United States because he was a white player. If you look at the final, the other seven were all black, and only Jimmy Warner, who won the 400m, was a historic moment for a white athlete in the sprint event. ”

After hearing this, Ye Qin immediately understood what Yu Weili meant.

Looking at the field, three American players wearing the Stars and Stripes were being photographed by the media, and Jimmy Warner, a white player, stood in the center as a champion.

Yu Weiliba hopes that Jimmy Warner can win the championship, hoping to break the monopoly of blacks on the sprint event, the implication is that since white athletes can do it, then why can't we Asians and yellow people?!

Since Jesse Owens, an American athlete who broke the world record and won four gold medals at the 1936 Berlin Olympics in Germany, black athletes have become the mainstream of track and field, especially in sprints.

But during this period, both white and yellow runners have emerged with many strong sprinters.

For example, Chen Jiaquan, a domestic sprinter, has broken the Chinese track and field 100-meter record six times, and in 1965, he tied the 100-meter world record with a time of 10 seconds.

The racial advantage of black athletes is naturally there, and the strong dominance of black West Africans in the sprint events, and the dominance of black East Africans in the long distance events, this cannot be ignored.

But as long as it's in the arena, it's never absolute.

Ye Qin took a deep breath and once again glanced at Jimmy Warner, who was in full swing on the field at this time, and his blood was boiling.

witnessed the birth of a 400m champion, but it also ignited the desire for the championship in his heart.

The conversation between the two took place after the men's 400m final on August 23, and four days later, after the men's 110m hurdles final on August 27, Ye Qin once again believed in this idea.

If others can, we can too.
