Chapter 375: Before the 400-meter race

"I'm so nervous!"

In the indoor check-in area, the men's 400-meter runners are about to line up for entry.

Wang Liangyu, who was standing next to Ye Qin, kept shaking his hands and feet, constantly relaxing his body, looking at the 400-meter athletes who walked by one by one, and whispering in his mouth.

Ye Qin watched from the side and couldn't help laughing, "Brother Wang, there's nothing to be nervous about, they run theirs, we run ours." ”

"That's what I thought, too." Wang Liangyu grinned, "But my heart is floating, not steady." There are more people coming to the stadium today than last year's 10th National Games, and we are running with foreigners, if we don't run well, we won't be ashamed! ”

"Just play at your level." Ye Qin listened to Wang Liangyu's concerns, he really didn't think about it so much, and now he was a little immersed in the mental state of being able to compete with top sprinters.

"You have participated in more international competitions, and your mentality is better than mine, so I feel a little nervous." Wang Liangyu is also telling the truth, in the 400m event, he basically ran 46 seconds less, if it were not for the Shenghai Grand Prix with two national athletes, it would be difficult to get his turn.

And as a 400m athlete, facing a top god like Jimmy Warner at this time, it can be said that there are few 400m athletes who do not feel nervous and stressed.

The shadow of the famous tree, basically as long as such an athlete appears on the field, all the players who compete with him will be subconsciously suppressed. This is not some mysterious momentum or anything like that, but real results and the fame of one game after another.

For example, last year, Gu Kai came to Shenghai Station to participate in the Grand Prix, facing Jax Thelin with a pilgrimage mentality, wanting to steal a little skill from the other party, although the result was not satisfactory, but it can probably also represent the mentality of many athletes.

If it is surpassed by others, the athlete will still have the psychology of competition, but the gap is too big, it is completely different levels, and it is several grades worse, basically when facing such athletes, it is really difficult to rise to beat the other party.

"It's the same." Ye Qin smiled and patted Wang Liangyu on the shoulder, "Jimmy Warner is terrifyingly strong, but only by competing with such an athlete can he improve and force his potential." ”

In terms of age, Wang Liangyu is a few years older than Ye Qin, but the experience of the competition in the past few years is not on the same level, plus Ye Qin just broke the Asian record at the IAAF World Cup in Athens a few days ago, winning Sean Merritt and Gary Kikaya, there is psychological pressure, but it will never be like Wang Liangyu.

In fact, what Wang Liangyu said before would be too embarrassing if he didn't run well and disappointed the audience, Ye Qin never thought about it.

There is only one thing on his mind right now, to beat Jimmy Warner and win the men's 400m championship at the Shenghai Grand Prix.

In terms of the current competitive state, although Ye Qin has participated in several competitions this year, the level of the competition is relatively low and the intensity is also low, which is much better than the many players who have experienced the European Super Grand Prix and the Golden League.

Now that he is fighting at home again, even if he has not yet played the field, Ye Qin heard the real noise outside the field, and faintly felt that his blood was boiling.

21:10 p.m.

The 80,000-person stadium has become a sea of excitement, and in the stands around the circle, all the light sticks are lit up, and the sound of various castanets and cheering sticks is constantly coming out.

This year's Shenghai Gold Grand Prix has several ticket prices of 1880, 1580, 500, 268, 168 and 50, but both high-priced VIP tickets and ordinary tickets are sold out well before the tournament starts.

After two years of brewing and fermentation since the start of the competition in 2004, the current track and field atmosphere in China has almost reached a rare high point. In addition, this year's event scientifically integrates the two major cultural forms of entertainment and sports, and the competition between the two top domestic track and field superstars is even more attractive than last year's Grand Prix.

When Ye Qin appeared in the middle of the 80,000-person stadium, the stadium ushered in the climax of the first wave of events tonight.

When the timing board on the scene, the 400-meter athletes participating in the Shenghai Gold Grand Prix appeared on the big screen, which caused many track and field fans who know something about the current world's top athletes to exclaim.

The specifications are so high that they are hardly inferior to the highest level of athletics competitions such as the World Championships and the Olympic Games.

In the first lane, American Darold Williamson, a key member of the men's 4×400m U.S. relay team at the 2004 Athens Olympics and 2005 World Championships, set a personal best of 44.27 seconds in the 400m in the semifinals of the 2005 NCAA Outdoor Championships.

In the second lane, Christopher Brown of the Bahamas was the runner-up in the men's 4x400m relay at the 2005 Helsinki World Athletics Championships, the third place in the men's 4x400m relay at the 2003 World Athletics Championships, and the runner-up in the men's 4x400m relay at the 2001 World Athletics Championships.

In the third lane, Sean Merritt of the United States, the 2004 world junior champion in the men's 400m, ranked third in the IAAF world men's 400m this year, and set a personal best of 44.14 seconds.

In the fifth lane, Jimmy Warner of the United States, the 2004 Olympic men's 400m champion, the 2005 World Championships men's 400m champion, swept the top five of the best 400m in 2006, and the IAAF points ranked third in the overall standings, and first in the individual 400m.

In the sixth lane, Jamaica's Michael Blackwood, the men's 400m champion at the IAAF Finals for three consecutive years in 02, 03 and 04, the men's 400m champion at the 2003 World Indoor Championships, and the third place at the 2003 Paris World Championships, with a personal best of 44.60 seconds.

In the seventh lane, France's Leslie Dellona, a French athlete who has performed well in several events. He was the men's 400m champion at the 2003 European U23 Championships, the fourth in the 400m final at the 2003 World Championships in Paris, and a member of the French team that won the men's 4×400m at the World Championships that year. At Euro 2006 and the European Championships, France won the men's 4×400m event. The personal best was 44.83 seconds.

In the eighth lane, Congolese Gary Kikaya, 2002 NCAA Indoor and Outdoor 400m Champion, 2003 NCAA Indoor 400m Champion, 2004 IAAF World Indoor Championships Bronze Medalist, just concluded this year's IAAF Finals, won the second place with a time of 44.10 seconds, and set a new African 400m record.

The ninth lane, Wang Liangyu, a player from Guangdong Province, is currently the best 400m runner except Ye Qin, and the second place in the men's 400m at the 10th Games last year.

Ye Qin is in the fourth lane, facing the lineup of the men's 400-meter race, among the players present, except for Wang Liangyu, who was arranged by the organizing committee to enter the field to experience the world's top 400-meter athletes, the others can be called top masters.

In particular, Jimmy Warner, a talented athlete who made his world sports debut in 2004, won two gold medals in the men's 400m and men's 4×400m, and then almost completely dominated the men's 400m from 2005 to 2006.

In this year's six IAAF Golden League races, Jimmy Warner, along with Asafaville and Saja Richards, won six Golden League games and set a personal best of 43.65 seconds at the Rome Golden League.

Among the many events in this year's Shenghai Golden Grand Prix, there is no doubt that the men's 400m event has brought together the most masters.

At this time, Jimmy Warner, who was standing on the fifth lane, was still wearing his brown sunglasses, and outsiders couldn't see his eyes, but Jimmy Warner had an obsession with winning this game in his heart.

Like Asafa Weir, the first man in the men's 100m, Jimmy Warner held his winning record in the men's 400m at this time.

The last time they lost was at the London Grand Prix last season, when they were caught up by Great Britain's Timothy Benjamin at the last minute due to their form.

Jimmy Warner has been a winning season in 2006 and Shenghai will be his final race of the season, as he will remain undefeated in the men's 400m this season.
