Ostrava, a city in the northeast of the Czech Republic, is the capital of the Moravia-Silesian region, close to Poland, the city is built at the confluence of four rivers, the Oder, Opava, Ostravice and Lutchina, and is an important industrial center due to its location in the heart of the main coalfield.

Since the 90s of the 20th century, Ostrava has been transformed into a modern cultural city with numerous theaters, galleries and other cultural facilities. Ostrava hosts a variety of cultural and sporting events throughout the year, and in 2014 it became one of Europe's most famous sports cities.

Ostrava has a long tradition of hosting top-level European and world championships, including the World Women's Volleyball Championship in 1986, the World Weightlifting Championship in 1987, the European Bodybuilding Championships and the World Junior Ice Hockey Championship in '92 and '93. In 2004, the IIHF World Ice Hockey Championship was hosted at the Aréna Stadium in Ostrava.

Since 1961, Ostrava has hosted the Golden Spike International Athletics Championships, which are held almost every year except 1999, when they were not held due to lack of sponsors.

Over the course of its decades-long history, the Ostrava Golden Spike International Athletics Championships have set many track and field records, including East Germany's Reinart Stecher in 1973 who set the women's 100m world record of 10.9 seconds (note), and Cuba's Silvio Leonard in 1975 who set the world record in the men's 100m 9.9 seconds (note).

Since 2003, when the Ostrava Golden Spike International Athletics Championships became one of the IAAF Grand Prix, the Ostrava Grand Prix has been popular with athletes from all over the world, with a large number of athletes competing every year.

When Yechin came down from Ostrava International Airport, it felt quite different.

He was a first-time visitor to the Czech Republic, having previously participated in many Grand Prix and the Golden League, but had never been to Ostrava.

The climate in Ostrava is quite good, compared to the temperature in many parts of the country at this time, the climate of Ostrava is cool, the air is fresh, and it makes people feel open-minded.

"The day after tomorrow, Yousse Bot didn't compete in the men's 100m this time, he did in the men's 200m, and your head-to-head duel shouldn't be so fast."

After getting on the car arranged by the organizing committee from Ostrava Airport, Chen Zhongzhou quickly got the following competition arrangements from the organizing committee.

"I just broke the world record, and I definitely won't run the men's 100m for the time being."

Ye Qin heard Chen Zhongzhou say that Yusse Bol did not participate in the men's 100m event, and although he had some speculations before, he was still faintly disappointed.

This is actually a very normal situation, just like after he tied the world record and broke the world record before, in order to prepare for the Olympics, he basically reduced his participation.

This is not the case for him alone, as is the case with Yusse Both, who after breaking Yechin's world record in the men's 100m at the New York Grand Prix, the focus of subsequent races will not continue to be on the men's 100m, but on the 200m.

The reason is that the psychological advantage of the world record accumulated at this time needs to be maintained, so as not to lose to the opponent in other events, so that this newly established mentality will be affected, and at the same time, it will also give the opponent a psychological advantage.

"That's just as well!"

Chen Zhongzhou nodded, he was basically very familiar with the various arrangements in international competitions, and after looking at the list of players for a while, he continued, "There are many old faces in the competition. ”

Today is June 10th and the start of the Ostrava Grand Prix is June 12th.

This year's Ostrava Grand Prix brings together a large number of athletes from all over the world, compared to the Japanese and American Grand Prix, which are almost all over the average, and Ostrava is a truly international competition with top athletes from all over the world.

As far as Chen Zhongzhou gets the list, it is not that there are no athletes from the Czech Republic to participate, but basically like the Shenghai Grand Prix, only one or two domestic athletes will participate, and there will be no eight athletes, and domestic athletes will occupy five or six places.

As the Olympic Games approach, many athletes around the world have begun to seize the time to show their faces in various events, train for competitions, and prepare for the upcoming Olympic Games.

In the various Grand Prix and Golden League in the year of the tournament, it is common to see many athletes who have not been seen for a long time.

Ye Qin flipped through the list of results from Chen Zhongzhou's hand, and saw a few familiar faces that he hadn't seen for a while, American player John Capel.

The 2003 World Championships men's 200m champion had a fight against Ye Qin in 2005. It was only in June '06 that John Capel was banned for two years for taking illegal drugs.

This Ostrava Grand Prix is the first stop of the opponent's comeback, but whether John Capel can participate in this year's Olympics depends on whether the opponent's results in the national trials this month are outstanding.

Not to mention others, it is the 04 men's 200m Olympic champion, and it is not easy for Sean Crawford to make it in the national trials.

At this time, Jason Gaby almost firmly occupied the two places in the men's 100m and 200m, and the likes of Wallace Spearmont also have strong strength in the 200m event.

……

On the other side, in a hotel room in Ostrava.

Glenn Mills looked at the list of entrants, with a look of solemnity on his round face, and beckoned to Eusai Both, who was listening to music in the room.

"Yuse, Ye Qin is here to compete."

"That's great! I haven't seen him in a long time. ”

Yusse-Bot put down his headphones and was slightly stunned at first, then replied with a grin showing a mouthful of white teeth.

For the contest with Ye Chin, Yusse Bot has actually been looking forward to it for a long time, and when he was in the New York Grand Prix, he and Spearmon made a special trip to Liu Yangyu to ask.

"You're in the men's 200m, he's in the men's 100m." Glenn Mills smiled and shook the entry list in his hand, "You're not worried about him taking your world record again?" ”

"Worried?" Yusse-Bot shook his head, "There's no need, I know he can do it." Even if it's not this one, the next one, the next game, he still has the strength and ability to break the world record. ”

Saying that, Yusai Bote paused, "But, what he can do, I also have the ability." Coach, you know best what I did when I trained, Ye Qin is a strong opponent, and I need to go all out against him.

I think we're going to be in the final of the Olympics, the men's 100m and the men's 200m, we're going to face each other. ”

Glenn Mills chuckled, "That's right, Yusse, you're the most gifted sprinter I've ever met. You're becoming more and more mature now, and what you need is victory, victory after victory. By the time the Yenching Olympics arrives, I'm sure you'll surprise everyone. ”

Yusse-Bot smiled and nodded, but now he needs enough wins to build his absolutely strong confidence.

In the past few years, although he has performed very well, he has always had Asafaville, Jason Gaby, and Yechin on the international stage, so that although he has stepped into the ranks of the best players, he has not won many major championships.

This year, he broke the world record by beating Jason Gaby head-on, which led him to believe he could have a strong mental advantage against Jason Gaby in the back.

Facing Ye Qin, he still can't say that he thinks he can win the other party, after all, in the past few encounters, he has always lost a lot.

He needs a fight to beat Yechin, but not now, but in the Olympic arena, and at that time, he believes that if he beats Yechin, there will be no one on the planet.

It's just that...... In the game the day after tomorrow, will Ye Qin surprise and break the record again?

Yusse Bot is a little unsure about this, as a sprinter, a champion, a gold medal, a world record, these things are almost all engraved in his bones, and he may not be able to accept that his world record has been taken away in just a week.

If Ye Qin really broke the record in this game, then it seems that his world record has only been held for more than ten days, less than two weeks?!
