Chapter 502: The second round of the 100 meters

Chapter 502

"It's come to this point, you two can completely unload your baggage, let go and run!"

At 18 o'clock in the evening, on the athletes' warm-up field next to the Bird's Nest Stadium, Coach Li Qi, assistant coach of the men's 4×100-meter relay race and director of the Physical Education Department of Mizuki University, looked at the sweaty Gu Kai and Zhang Peimeng, and there was a smile in the corner of his eyes that could not be hidden.

"To be honest, I didn't expect you to be able to do this, not only did I see your performance, but the whole country saw your performance. It's good enough, in the next games, the level of the players will get higher and higher, and your goal now is to advance to the next semi-finals, and it doesn't matter if you can advance to the best, and it doesn't matter if you can't advance. What the specific situation should be, what the situation is, there is nothing to hide. ”

Gu Kai and Zhang Peimeng are both former athletes he led, and their potential and talent in the sprint event are obvious to all, but both brothers can advance to the semi-finals in the men's 100m event, which has greatly exceeded his initial expectations.

For him personally, or for the opponents and the reality he will face, being able to get to this point is almost the limit of the strength of the two, and whether he can advance to the next semi-finals is no longer the most important thing for Li Qi.

"Understood, Coach."

Gu Kai and Zhang Peimeng glanced at each other and nodded.

Li Qi's coach's words are not particularly good, but as the previous head coach of the two, what he said about the usual performance of the two was the actual situation.

Zhang Peimeng directly qualified for the semi-finals with the third place in the group, and Gu Kai entered the semi-finals in the last ten supplementary places, neither of whom were the top-ranked kinds.

In the case of the semi-finals, there are five semi-final groups, with a total of 40 athletes participating, and the top three in each group will advance directly, and then a best result will be supplemented, with a total of 16 athletes participating in the semi-finals.

Compared to the preliminaries, there is no doubt that the form in the semi-finals is much tougher.

"It's come to this point, I still have to fight it and see!"

Zhang Peimeng has made up his mind in his heart, no matter what, he must go all out to fight once, for a sprinter, everyone understands that it is not easy to participate in an Olympic Games, since he is on this field, no matter what, he must go all out to improve his ranking in the Olympic men's 100-meter race as much as possible.

Coach Li Qi is decompressing them, the feeling of the Olympics is really completely different from the feeling of participating in other competitions, especially the Bird's Nest Stadium, in the boiling atmosphere of the audience, it seems that the heart is pounding wildly at a certain moment, as if it is about to pop out of the mouth.

Gu Kai also understands this, but he is a few years older than Zhang Peimeng, and he understands that some things are difficult to achieve by his own desires and ideas alone, and in the final analysis, they must be implemented in terms of strength.

The best time of the two was only around 10.20 seconds, and they have basically only succeeded once so far, and they have qualified for the Olympic A standard.

On a stage like the Olympic Games, if you want to advance to the semifinals in the semifinals, even if you haven't started the competition yet, there are still some rough guesses, and you have to have at least 10.20 seconds to have a chance.

Li Qi looked at the expressions of the two, shook his head slightly, smiled, and did not continue to say anything.

For the performance of the two, it is already much beyond his expectations to be able to reach this point, and he believes that after this Olympics, the growth of the two in mentality should go further.

On the other side, Yuan Guohua and Chen Zhongzhou were surrounding Ye Qin, who was lying on the massage chair for a pre-game warm-up massage.

Zhuang Wei meticulously gave Ye Qin physiotherapy to his leg muscles and back muscles to prevent him from collapsing too tightly and being injured when he suddenly exerted his strength on the court.

"Ye Qin, when you get on the field, don't think about anything else."

Yuan Guohua frowned slightly, looked at Ye Qin lying on the massage table, paused slightly, and then spoke again, "Among these athletes, basically you have won against them, and you don't need to put pressure on yourself." Playing at the level you deserve is basically about the same."

The nervousness encountered by Ye Qin in the preliminaries, others may not have seen it, but Yuan Guohua and Chen Zhongzhou's understanding of Ye Qin found some clues.

Originally, both of them thought that with Ye Chin's psychological quality, they should not be too nervous in these competitions in the preliminaries and rematches, and the real nervousness may be in the men's 100m final tomorrow night.

What I didn't expect was that in the first game of the preliminaries, although Ye Qin still qualified for the promotion with the first place in the group in the end, his performance in front of him after the start was already quite stiff.

"Yes, it's not like your performance, we're waiting for you to break the world record in the final tomorrow!"

Chen Zhongzhou next to him seemed to want to ease the atmosphere, and then said with a smile.

"That's right!" Zhuang Wei, who was doing physiotherapy for Ye Qin, also echoed, "I have always felt that you are suitable for the big scene, and you will not be frightened by this little situation." ”

Ye Qin turned his head sideways, looking at a few people who were comforting themselves, but their expressions were obviously more nervous than themselves, and he suddenly laughed, "Director Yuan, Brother Chen, Brother Zhuang, you don't have to look at me like this, I don't have any problems now." ”

said a slight pause, "In the preliminaries, I still didn't expect it, maybe because I haven't participated in the competition in the past two months, the atmosphere at the scene was rushing, and I really felt a little confused, but now there is no problem, I have almost completely adjusted." ”

"Hmm." Yuan Guohua looked at Ye Qin's expression as usual, and breathed a sigh of relief, "In the previous Olympic preparations, there were still some mistakes, which made you leave the arena for too long, and suddenly such a warm scene still caused a certain impact psychologically. ”

Ye Chin's plan for war, he nodded his head to approve. Because Ye Qin wants to participate in the event is not a simple men's 100 meters, there will be 200 meters and 400 meters, as well as a 4×100m relay.

These two months, whether it is preparing for the competition or adjusting and resting, are conducive to the explosion of Ye Qin's reserve physical fitness in the Olympic Games.

But the only problem is that the assessment of the pressure caused by the Olympics to the athletes is still insufficient, and the lack of competition during this period of time made Ye Qin suddenly a little unstable in the preliminaries.

Chen Zhongzhou nodded beside him, listening to Ye Qin's words, he probably knew why Ye Qin's performance was a little abnormal in the preliminaries.

Including many articles and netizens in foreign media recently, they are actually waiting and waiting to see whether Ye Qin can beat Yusse Bot and other strong players to win the men's 100m championship.

One of the biggest reasons was that Yechin did not compete in any races after the Ostrava Super Prix in June.

After not participating in competitions for two months, and suddenly having to participate in a major competition like the Olympic Games, many people feel that Ye Qin's state may not meet expectations.

"After the preliminaries, I was a lot more relaxed."

Standing up from the massage table, Ye Qin moved the muscles on his body slightly, and showed a confident smile to several people, "There is a preliminaries, get back the feeling of the game, and the next will be smooth, don't worry!" ”

"Come on!"

Several people clapped their hands at Ye Qin and applauded.

The athlete is about to go on the field, and at this time, what the outsiders next to him say, in the final analysis, it is up to the parties themselves to face it independently.

At 19:45 in the evening, the second round of the men's 100m officially began.

There are five semi-final groups, and each group has a game time of almost 7 minutes.

Ye Qin played in the first group of the rematch this time, but when Ye Qin appeared in the Bird's Nest Stadium, the stadium stands of more than 70,000 people suddenly boiled.

The starlight in the audience was constantly flickering, which was the camera carried by many spectators who came to watch the game, and the magnesium lights flickered, there was a feeling of stars in the night sky.

In the media gallery area, not to mention at this time, all kinds of shooting tools with long guns and short guns are basically aimed at the eight runners in front of the men's 100-meter starting line.

At the same time, the list of runners in the first group of the men's 100m semi-finals was played on the big screen of the Bird's Nest Stadium.

1st Lane, Darius Cook, Poland;

second, Henri Vizcano, Cuba;

third, Kurandi-Martina, Netherlands Antilles;

Fourth, Yechin, China;

Fifth Path, Naoki Tsukahara, Japan;

Sixth Lane, Michael Flat, Jamaica;

Seventh Lane, Pierre Brown, Canada;

Eighth Way, Simon Williamson, UK;

Standing on the track of the fourth lane of the men's 100 meters, Ye Qin took a long breath, slowly exhaled it, and slowly adjusted his breathing.

Compared with the players present, he should be said to be a slightly younger group in terms of age, but in terms of experience in the competition, he can be regarded as the most abundant.

Needless to say, the early experience of participating in the competition, the key 04 Olympic Games and the 05 07 World Championships, after the experience of several major competitions, he really faced the experience of various competitions, and he was already one of the best among all the players in this competition.

After the first round of preliminaries, his mentality at this time has been completely corrected, and he has gradually put aside all kinds of emotions and thoughts before the game.

This is the mentality and coping ability that he has exercised in countless competitions, and the reason why Zhou is a little unbalanced in the first round of preliminaries is mainly because he has participated less recently, and then after all, it is the Olympic Games held in his own country, and all kinds of tangible and invisible pressures are almost everywhere.

And after running the preliminaries, after that depressed feeling, although Ye Qin was still a little worried in his heart at this moment, this was already a pre-race tension that he could control.

This tension is familiar to him, and has nothing to do with an athlete's mentality, but comes from the inner pressure of the pursuit of the final result.

As long as he is still in pursuit of the title, it will inevitably happen.

It's just that this kind of tension will not have any negative effect on his performance, but will be more conducive to his ability to devote himself physically and mentally to the game.

At this time, Ye Qin was actually secretly glad that his mental imbalance broke out in the first round of preliminaries, if he had been suppressed, in the later rounds of the competition, I am afraid it would have a great impact on him.

Nervousness, pre-match anxiety can be superimposed, many athletes often perform amazingly in the first and second rounds of the preliminaries, but in the final crucial semi-finals, there is no strong heart to face, such situations abound.

Not to mention that he has to participate in other events in the future, if it comes to the semi-finals and finals tomorrow, I am afraid that it may cause him to not be able to fully exert his strength when facing other opponents.

"There's nothing to worry about, just keep your mindset and run!"

Ye Qin stood at the starting line, raised his head and took a deep breath, as far as his eyes could see, there were countless people in the stands of the audience shouting his name, and several camera lenses next to him also stayed on him for a long time.

But now he has subconsciously ignored all of this, and at this time it seems that there is only a runway in his eyes, only the finish line in front of him.

After the sound of the runner in place, Ye Qin stepped on the runner, and after the self-doubt and worry in his heart were removed, he was able to recover the mentality of the race and face it calmly.

Among the eight players present, there are several athletes he is not familiar with, but the strong ones, such as Kurandi Martina, Michael Flat, he has many experience in fighting, so there are not many players who can really put pressure on him, and athletes of his level challenge opponents are at least in the semifinals and finals, and what needs to be overcome and faced more is self-adjustment of mentality.

Syllable!

A crisp match gun rang out.

At the moment when the gun rang out in the race, Ye Qin's feet suddenly stepped the running aid, and the whole person suddenly rushed out like an arrow off the string.

Starting response: 0.143 seconds

The group was very good, with the Netherlands' Antilles' Kurandi Martina having a reaction time of 0.142 seconds and the British British's Simon in lane 8 having 0.127 seconds, with Yechin closely behind the two and similar to Kurandi Martina.

And after the start, just ten meters later, Ye Qin gradually came out of the eight runners and began to take a certain lead.

He's getting better and better in the first half of the start, maybe not far from a textbook start like Al-Safavir, but it's definitely not too far off.

After 10 meters, he already gained a half-body advantage, and then 20 meters, 30 meters, and gradually began to lead the whole race.

Of the eight runners, except for Kurandi Martina and Michael Flat, who were able to barely keep up, the others were thrown away in just 30 meters.

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

Ye Qin's speed increased faster and faster, and at this time he could clearly feel that he had taken the lead, but his speed did not begin to decrease.

In the men's 100m, the top three in a group will qualify, and for the sake of safety, at least he will not start to slow down at this time.

Moreover, he can feel that Kurandi Martina is chasing him closely, and he has an impact on the athlete, who has performed well from last year to this year.

Seventy meters, eighty meters, ninety meters......

Ye Qin ran more and more stretched, reaching the highest speed, and had clearly opened up more than two meters of distance from the other competitors.

But after 90 meters, after Ye Qin confirmed that he had locked the first place in the group, his speed began to decrease, and he began to release the water appropriately, and his hands swinging his arms were not fierce and fast, and his steps became bigger.

For the 100-meter athletes who are competing for the final championship, how to ensure the rhythm of the game and appropriate retention in the preliminaries is a skill that must be mastered.

The first goal is to qualify, and only if you can meet this condition, your performance in the previous rounds can be reserved.

This reservation is to protect the athlete and reduce the burden on the body before the final final. In sprint competitions, top athletes are overloaded with every burst of all their might.

If you don't look at the distance for a long time, but you don't keep your strength, it's the maximum burst every time, and the damage to the life of the profession is quite large.

Rush the line!

9.95 seconds!

The cheers in the Bird's Nest Stadium were once again bursting one after another, and for many foreign journalists, if it were not for what they saw at the scene, it was almost impossible to believe that the Chinese would have such a fanatical side.

After the start of this Olympic Games, the two men's 100m races at the Bird's Nest Stadium have already made them see an unbelievably crazy scene.

It's just the second round of the rematch, and if it comes to tomorrow's semi-finals and finals, many people are wondering what kind of excitement will ensue.

But if you think about it carefully, I think this is normal, if other countries hold the Olympics, there is a world No. 1 100m flyer, I am afraid that everyone's performance will not be more calm than this.

Then the second and third places in the semi-finals were also placed, and the second place was Kurandi Martina of the Netherlands with a time of 9.99 seconds, which was a personal best set by Kurandi Martina and a national record.

Third place went to Jamaican veteran Michael Flatt with a time of 10.09 seconds. Japan's Naoki Tsukahara, who finished fourth, had a time of 10.23 seconds in this group, and the other competitors were all outside 10.30 seconds.

In the cheers of the audience, Ye Qin walked off the field, and after the first group of the men's 100m semi-finals, the next four semi-finals groups will continue in turn.

Then the third and fifth groups of Zhang Peimeng and Gu Kai did not continue to be excellent in the semifinals.

After facing many top 100-meter athletes, Zhang Peimeng and Gu Kai failed to participate in the semifinals in the next round with a time of 10.27 seconds and 10.40 seconds respectively.

Among the 16 athletes who advanced to the semifinals in the entire semi-finals, Yechin, Kurandi Martina, Richard Thompson, and Yusse Bot all ran into the 10-second mark, and the other top three semifinalists who advanced to the semifinals basically finished under 10.10 seconds.

After learning that Zhang Peimeng and Gu Kai were out, in the men's 100m event, the Chinese team was once again left with only Ye Qin, as he had faced in many previous events.

Compared with the World Championships in 05 and 07, as well as the Olympic Games in 04, the overall level of the men's 100m athletes at the 2008 Yenjing Olympics is obviously much higher.

With the first two rounds of preliminaries and rematches, the men's 100m event will officially usher in the most exciting and fierce day tomorrow.

Usse Bote, Asafavil, Jason Gaby...... Three of the strongest players in the men's 100m will officially face off in tomorrow's race!

For tomorrow night's men's 100-meter trapeze battle, not only the domestic media are completely moving, but also many foreign media are looking forward to it at this moment!

Who is number one in the world?

Can the men's 100m break the world record again?

One topic after another has been thrown, and on the TV media and the Internet, many netizens at home and abroad have been hyped up.
