"Liu Yangyu!"

"Liu Yangyu!"

"Liu! Liu ......"

As soon as Ye Qin followed Liu Yangyu and the others from the bus, he heard the shouts of the crowd all around, there were many overseas Chinese and international students, and there were also many foreigners with high noses and dark eyes.

Many people were holding small national flags, or Liu Yangyu's posters, banners, plastic boards, etc., constantly swaying and shaking at the entrance of the stadium, and they were very enthusiastic.

"Wow! Liu Yangyu's popularity in Lausanne is really not what it should be! ”

Chen Zhongzhou looked at the shouts of many people at Liu Yangyu, and stood beside Ye Qin and couldn't help but sigh.

He has seen Liu Yangyu's popularity in China, but he didn't expect that he could still see this scene in Lausanne, Switzerland abroad.

"Why!" Liu Yangyu first waved at the crowd, then smiled a little shyly, looked at Ye Qin and said, "There are many people who call Ye Qin's name!" ”

"It's not like you." Ye Qin was carrying his luggage, looking at the Punta Isse Olympic Stadium in front of him, and said with a smile, "This is the first time I have come to Lausanne to participate in the competition. ”

It's July 9th, and after the end of the Golden League in Paris, everyone set off for Lausanne, Switzerland, yesterday to start adapting to the venue.

The official start of the Lausanne Super Grand Prix is tomorrow, July 10, and this year, Ye Qin and Liu Yangyu came to the venue to do adaptive training, but they didn't expect so many people to gather outside the stadium.

"Then when you finish this year, it is estimated that many people will have to call your name next year."

Liu Yangyu stood in front of him and replied with a smile, whether the sprint event is 100 meters, 200 meters or 400 meters, compared with the men's 110-meter hurdles, it is undoubtedly more influential. Ye Qin has already proven himself on the international stage, with Asian records in three events, breaking the 10-second mark in the 100m, and the 200m world championship, which is eye-catching enough.

Now Ye Chin's international influence is no less than his, and many times it is much higher because of popular projects. But Yechin lacked two of his most important results, the Olympic champion and the world record.

Many boring netizens in China are now also posting on the Internet, saying that Ye Qin and Liu Yangyu are now more popular, although neither of them cares, but the subconscious sense of competition between athletes will still unconsciously think of this.

"It's that easy, unless I can break the world record." Ye Qin shook his head, he still had a very clear understanding of this.

Liu Yangyu began to compete in the Super Grand Prix in Lausanne in 2003, when he finished third with a time of 13.17 seconds, and then missed a year due to the Olympic schedule in 04. He was the Lausanne Super Grand Prix champion in '05 and broke the world record in the men's 110m hurdles at the Lausanne Super Grand Prix in '06. After several years of outstanding performance in the Lausanne Super Grand Prix, it can be said that Lausanne is a great blessing for Liu Yangyu.

Globally, there have always been cities that have been, or stadiums in the strict sense of the word, that are favored by track and field athletes and are the most capable of running in these arenas.

Among them, the Hayward Stadium at the Eugene Grand Prix in the United States, the Panathenaic Stadium at the Athenae Grand Prix in Greece, and the Bislet Stadium in Oslo, Norway, etc., have produced a large number of world records and annual bests, which are very suitable for the players.

In addition, cities such as Osaka, Japan, and Stuttgart, Germany, are cities with a strong track and field atmosphere, and many track and field athletes are happy to participate in the competition.

Before joining the IAAF World Tour, the Lausanne Super Grand Prix was called the Asletisima Athletics Competition, and as of 2007 this year, the Asletisima Athletics Competition has produced three track and field world records, the first of which was the men's 100m world record of 9.84 seconds set by American player Roy Burrell in 1994. The second is the women's pole vault world record of 4.93 meters set by Russian pole vault queen Isinbayeva in 2005, and the last one is the men's 110-meter hurdles world record of 12.88 seconds set by Liu Yangyu in Lausanne last year.

In addition to the three world records, the Lausanne Super Grand Prix also has the highest track and field records in the world rankings at the Punta Isse Olympic Stadium.

In addition, Lausanne is unusual from other cities with a strong athletics atmosphere in that it is a true city of sports. Since 1994, it has been known as the Olympic Capital because of the presence of the Olympic Committee, and is also home to the International Court of Arbitration for Sport and more than 55 sports associations.

On the other side, just as Ye Qin and Liu Yangyu got off the bus and walked towards the Punta Isse Olympic Stadium, there were already many athletes from all over the world in the stadium, training on the track in twos and threes.

"Yuse, I found that you have been training a lot more recently, and you didn't even go when those guys told you to go to a nightclub."

In one corner of the stadium, Glenn Mills, a short, fat Jamaican gold medal coach, looked at his apprentice who had already run back and forth on the track five or six times, and his eyes showed a little doubt.

The tall young man in front of him has been under his hands for almost three years, and it can't be said that he hasn't worked hard at all in these three years, but the kind of eyes that want to become stronger almost anytime and anywhere from the inside to the outside have never been seen before.

"I want to win, Coach!" Yusse Bote, holding his knees in his hands, took a long breath before taking the water and towel from Glenn Mills, "While a lot of people are saying I've been successful in international athletics at my age, there are people who do it better than me. ”

"You mean the Chinese Yechin?" Glenn Mills looked at Usai Bot and asked in a deep voice.

Yusse Bot looked up at the track and field in the distance, but instead of answering the question, he continued, "Coach, it's the World Championships soon, and I don't know if I'll win them at the World Championships in Osaka, but it's the Olympics in a year's time." I lost at the Olympics in '04 and I don't want to experience another failure. ”

Glenn Mills was slightly stunned at first, then a relieved smile appeared on his face, "Yusse, I've been waiting for you to say this, I have never doubted your talent and ability, I have always believed that you will become the greatest athlete on the planet, and now it is time for you to prove yourself." ”

Glenn Mills has always been well aware that there are only one or two competitors at Eusai Bot's age who can compete with him at his age, and the youngest World Junior 200m champion has set a record for one age group after another. That kind of unparalleled talent, like never before at Glenn Mills.

It's just that this disciple has not been particularly enthusiastic about training all along, although he will also have a strong desire to compete when he is on the field, but this strong competitive spirit has not completely transformed into his motivation to become stronger.

But now, Yousse-Bot is clearly maturing in his mind, seeing one top athlete after another dominate the field, and some of his peers have surpassed him to win the championship.

He's no longer content to be pressed in the middle of a game, he wants to be the one who wins, he wants to be the champion.

"Thank you, Coach!" Yusse Bot looked at the short and fat black old man in front of him, the solemn look on his face disappeared, and he grinned, "Then don't let me continue to practice 400 meters, we have a word first, I will participate in the 100 meters race." ”

Glenn Mills shook his head, a little helpless at Usse Both's bargain, but deep down he had agreed to Usse Both's men's 100m.

Earlier this year, both he and Yusse Both's agent wanted Yusse Bot to combine the 400m, after all, a men's 200m is already comfortable with Yusse Both's current ability, and the men's 400m can go in the direction of Michael Johnson and become the second real "Forrest Gump" on the track and field.

It's just that in '03 and '04, because of the excessive training of 400 meters, he had a rebellious and repulsive mentality, and he would rather choose to run 100 meters than the hard work of training 400 meters.

For an athlete of the size of Usse Both, running 200 meters and 400 meters are suitable, but running 100 meters, Glenn Mills actually has no bottom in his heart.

However, at the repeated requests of Yusse Bote, he made a pact with Yusse Bote that Yusse Bot would need to break the Jamaican men's 200m national record.

At the Jamaican National Athletics Championships in Kingston on June 24, Yusse Bote set a new personal best and Jamaican national record with a time of 19.75 seconds, completing the agreement between master and apprentice.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Glenn Mills' face, "When the Super Grand Prix in Lausanne and the Grand Prix in Sheffield, England are over, we will go to Crete, Greece, where the upcoming Vadi Noiania Games are not too high-level, and I will allow you to participate in the men's 100m race." ”
