"Asafa, this is your first European match since the injury this year, do you have the confidence to challenge Yechin?"

"Usse Bot said he was most looking forward to your performance when he returned to the game, and you also said in the media that he must have surpassed Jason Gaby to become the strongest third man? Does this mean that you already think you are under Yechin and Yusse-Both? ”

"The men's 100m world record of 9.61 seconds, Asafavir, do you think you have a chance to break it?"

July 3, 2009, Oslo, Norway, Bislet Stadium.

Asafavir, who had just finished warming up on the warm-up track, was stopped by several media reporters, and various questions were quickly thrown out.

This is the second time that Asafavil has appeared in front of the media since returning from injury this year, after Jamaica was his home stadium, and although he was interviewed, the questions asked by the media were not too sharp, and with Yusse Bot up front, the limelight had already been sidelined.

In Europe, Asafavir's media problems are noticeably much more acute. The European media and journalists are also familiar enough that two or three years ago he performed perfectly in the various European Golden League and Grand Prix. The men's 100m Golden League winning record in six stops can be said to be several excellent in the entire history of track and field.

And Asafavil has broken the 10-second mark several times in a row, and so far he has surpassed Morris Green to become the runner with the most 10-second marks in the 100m.

However, although he was briefly blocked by the media, Asafavir did not answer the reporters' questions, but quickly broke away from the media and reporters with the help of his agent Doler and the venue's security personnel.

"Asafa, if you respond carefully, it may be more effective, which will help to improve your positive image."

The reporters who left the media, the agent Dole looked at Asafavil and didn't seem to look particularly good, and whispered a word next to him.

"I said it last time." Asafavir shook his head, "I'm going to go head-to-head with Ye Qin soon, if I say those things again before the game and I am defeated by Ye Qin in the end, I will only become a laughing stock." ”

"That's why you're not as popular as Usai Both." The agent Doler reluctantly spread his hands.

In the previous National Championships, he had asked Asafavil to face reporters and made statements that he would join Yechin and Euse Bot and Jason Gaby. But now, it is obviously unlikely, that Asafavil wants to do it again.

Asafavil has always been a little introverted and low-key by nature, from 05 to 07 years, Asafavir except for one time in order to win Amway Nutrilite's endorsement contract, and Jax Thelin had a war of words, whether it is in the arena or in private, in fact, there is nothing attractive about Asafaville.

When many media reported on Asafavir, in addition to his performance on the field, his heart changed, and what can be briefly mentioned off the field is his personal hobby of modifying cars.

It's just that there are some things he can give advice on as an agent, but it's not easy to completely dominate Asafavil, especially some remarks that are contrary to Asafavir's character.

"It's never because I'm not popular because of what I say."

Hearing the somewhat complaining tone of his agent Dole, Asafavir looked calm, he and Yusse Bot have known each other for a long time, and he has known Yusse Bot since he entered the Jamaican national team in 04.

At that time, Usher Bot was more playful and playful than now, and he and Wallace Spearmon loved to tell jokes in private, and they were also somewhat famous among the players.

But who sees the media scrambling to cover Yusse-Both?

Didn't it really start with last year's New York Grand Prix, when the other party broke the world record?

Athletics is not another competitive sport, its results are the most intuitive!

There is only one way to win attention, and that is to produce results, produce better results, break world records, and win one championship after another!

……

"This Oslo Golden League men's 100m is also divided into group AB."

On the other side of the Bislet Stadium, Ye Qin, who was preparing to change his clothes and go to the arena for his life, was listening to Chen Zhongzhou talk about waiting for the game.

"Me and Asafarville are in a team again?" Ye Qin leaned over and tied up his slack, lightly made a few abdominal jumps on the spot, and asked.

"Not this time." Chen Zhongzhou shook his head, "Although your duel with Asafarville is good-looking, it certainly doesn't look like it's with Yusse Bote. In general, the level of the players in Group A will be higher, and many of the participants are familiar faces. ”

"Okay, I've got it in my heart."

Ye Qin nodded, and did not rush to do any starting exercises on the track, but still stood in place, moving his wrists, ankles, knees, shoulders, waist and other joints, and doing some stretching casually.

These movements, which are mixed with some more joint movements, were developed by several research groups and coaches in the track and field team, in order to allow athletes to warm up better and more fully, extend their bodies, and reduce injuries in competitions.

After doing this part, Ye Qin had to go to the track to make some simple running contacts, and the whole warm-up activity could be considered complete.

Seeing Ye Qin making preparations, Chen Zhongzhou did not leave, but just asked in a low voice, "How is the biological clock falling?" ”

I arrived in Norway on July 1, and although it has been two or three days, the jet lag is still very important for athletes, especially those in competitive sprint sports.

"It's okay, I don't think there's anything wrong with the game." Ye Qin stopped stretching his muscles, jumped twice and walked onto the runway, his tone casual but full of confidence.

It's the confidence that comes from one championship after another, the absolute confidence that you can give it a go against any strong opponent.

Not to mention Asafavil in this Oslo Golden League, it is Yusse Both, and Yechin will not have any doubts about himself.

On the runway, the gunshots rang out, and it would only be me who won!

……

21:25 p.m.

The 15,400 seats at the Bislet Stadium were all full.

This has become the norm in athletics this year, especially in the field competitions featuring Yechin and Yusse Both, and almost every one, whether in Asia, Central America, or Europe, has been hard to find.

Since last year's Olympic Games, sprinting, a sport that had been dormant for a short time, suddenly burst into an unparalleled vitality and became a popular event that swept the whole world.

There are many factors in this, the most important point is that the human limit has been greatly improved, the first yellow man to break the men's 100m world record and win the Olympic championship, the government has established an image and vigorously promoted, the world is focused on this rising young athlete, and the IAAF has vigorously promoted and supported. The creation of the image of the Yechen Yusse Bot duo, the establishment of challengers such as Jason Gaby and Asafavir.

All of this has made athletics and sprinting a lot of topics to discuss.

When Ye Chin and Usse Bot appeared on the field, countless people would wonder, who will break the world record again, is 9.61 seconds the human limit?

Both hold two world records, and the same is a rare sprint talent, who will be the winner?

With so much to look forward to, it is natural that sprinting has become more popular from a popular competitive sport in the first place.

"Ye Chin!"

"Ye Chin!"

"Asafah!"

"Asafah!"

……

In the Bislet Stadium, the men's 100-meter race has not yet begun, and the athletes have just entered the on-field track, and the atmosphere in the entire stadium is like boiling water.

On the big screen above the middle of the stadium, the list of men's 100m runners appeared one by one:

First Lane, Sim Williamson, UK;

second, Kurandi-Martina, Netherlands Antilles;

third lane, Saidi-Tour, Trinidad and Tobago;

Fourth, Asafarville, Jamaica;

Fifth Dao, Yechin, China;

Sixth Lane, Daniel Bailey, Antigua and Barbuda;

Seventh Lane, Michael Flat, Jamaica;

Eighth Lane, Mark Burns, Trinidad and Tobago;

Because it was divided into two groups of AB, there were no nine players in this group.

Standing on the fifth path, facing the many players present, Ye Qin's heart was actually very peaceful.

Many of these fighters are opponents he has played against. Competitive sports, in fact, at a certain level, face not many opponents, only a small part.

Even if there are newcomers rising and old people retiring, the time of this metabolism is also measured in years, slowly appearing and disappearing.

On the field, no matter what the game, the opponents you face are actually old faces most of the time.

After a single gunshot, the game began in earnest.

With eight runners rushing off the track, the biggest goal of the IAAF Golden League is to earn points and move up the rankings for the rest of the athletes, with the exception of Yechin and Asafavir.

In the IAAF Golden League and IAAF Super Grand Prix, the winner of each race generally gets about 20 points, with 16 points for second place and 14 points for third place, and then 2 points according to the ranking. The top eight finishers will all earn points.

If there is a match in Group AB, the top eight results in Group AB will be ranked. After the eighth place, no points are added.

In the competition with Ye Qin and Asafavil participating, most of the players basically have a clear understanding of the top two, and basically everyone is competing for the points in the lower ranking.

For the other relatively low-level players, the goal is to be able to participate in such a large-scale event and improve themselves by competing with top athletes.

Of course, if there is a real chance to knock down the current top three stars in the world, it is enough to brag about it for a lifetime.

After the gunshots rang out, Ye Qin rushed out of the starting line very quickly, but perhaps because he had just arrived in Europe from China, it was a little slower than the races in June.

Thirty meters ahead, Ye Qin did not run any advantage.

And Asafavir, who had high hopes before the game, also did not play particularly amazingly, and the game will return to the field, and Asafavir is now in a stage of finding form.

In the 30 meters of the start, Yechin, Asafavir, Daniel Bailey and Michael Flatt were almost in parallel and running towards the front quickly.

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

Entering the high-speed section of the road running, at this time, after the acceleration of the first 30 meters, Ye Qin and Asafavir gradually ran out from the other runners.

Although the start was not ideal, Ye Qin's absolute speed on the way still exceeded the competitors present, and after entering the half-marathon 50 meters, he gradually took the lead.

At the same time, Asafavier also seized the opportunity and overtook several others to move into second place.

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

Ye Qin's speed is getting faster and faster, and his strong speed retention ability is beginning to leak at this time, as long as the speed increases, it is almost difficult for Ye Qin to be surpassed by other opponents, and the distance between them will only be further widened.

And Asafavir stared at Ye Chin's back, also trying his best to catch up.

He has played many games against Ye Qin, and he already fully understands Ye Chin's technical style, and if he does not have a clear lead over Ye Qin in the first half, the chances of winning the opponent in the second half are slim.

At the moment, the only person on the planet who can compete with Yechin in the second half of the 100m and 200m is Yusse Both, and everyone else is worse than Jason Gaby.

Rush the line!

On the yellow timing board on the scene, the championship results of this group of men's 100m races appeared.

9.94 seconds!

Wind speed - 0.3 m/s.

Although it was a headwind, the result of 9.98 seconds was not outstanding, but compared with other players in the same group, Ye Qin's result still won the applause of the audience.

The second person to cross the finish line was 10.07 seconds, and the Asafavir who paid after the race was obviously not in good shape. As he crossed the finish line at the end, Asafavil was almost overtaken by Daniel Bailey and Michael Flat.

"There is no suspense that Yechin has once again proved his position as the new ruler of the men's 100m, and Asafavir has not been a threat to him after the injury!"

Moments after the match, in the media area of the spectators, a commentator on the Norwegian local TV station that broadcasts the event excitedly shouted to the audience in front of the TV, "...... We are now looking forward to the World Championships next month, and we don't know what kind of miracle human beings can create! ”

On the field, after stopping on the track near the finish line, Yechin hugged Asafarville and Daniel Bailey in a friendly way, congratulating and thanking them.

After that, he gave a brief interview to a local Norwegian TV station on the sidelines, and the content of the interview was basically about Yechin's performance in this game, as well as his outlook for the World Championships, and about the feeling of participating in Oslo for the second time.

After answering quickly one by one, Ye Qin quickly left the arena and returned to the players' lounge behind the Bislet Stadium.

"Not happy with the result?"

After Chen Zhongzhou saw Ye Qin's departure, his face was not particularly good, and he did not have the joy after winning the championship, and vaguely seemed to guess Ye Qin's current thoughts.

"Today's state is quite average." Ye Qin nodded, although the men's 100-meter race finally entered the 10-second mark, he could feel it himself, although he did not play 100%, but more than 95% of the results, the final expectation of the results was not as good as he thought.

"Then let's adjust it in the next few days!" Chen Zhongzhou nodded and continued, "Next is next week's Rome Golden League, when Jason Gaby and Asafarville will both play. The Madrid Grand Prix and the Lausanne Super Grand Prix we cancelled this time. ”

After the Oslo Golden League on July 3, the Madrid Grand Prix is on July 4, and the difference between the two is one day, so it is unlikely that you will go to the tournament.

On 7 July, the Lausanne Super Grand Prix is a well-known event, with Asafavir going for the 100m and Yusse Bot for the men's 200m.

However, Yechin is not ready to participate in these two matches. On the one hand, many of his current matches with Usse Bot have been staggered, and he has somewhat inherited the feeling that the king is not the king.

Another is that Ye Qin's goal this year is to challenge the IAAF Golden League to win all six games, as the last year of the Golden League's existence, if this goal is not achieved this time, there will be no more in the future.

In preparation for the Golden League, other Grand Prix and Super Grand Prix can be released on the side.

And on July 10, the IAAF Golden League in Rome, the men's 100m race list has been confirmed to have Jason Gaby to participate, this is the first race that Ye Qin has encountered Jason Gaby this year, with Jason Gaby's performance this year, he must show very good form if he wants to win.

Before the World Championships in Berlin, most of the athletes in the competitions that Ye Qin was going to participate in were available on the official website of the IAAF and the official websites of various events.

Except for Yusse Both, who will not face off with Yechin for the time being, the other players including Jason Gaby and Asafarvil will want to play one or more games with Yechin.

Losing to Ye Chin, who is the current world record holder and the fastest runner at the moment, this is the right thing, and many people are also prepared.

And if they have a chance to win against Yechin, from the point of view of establishing a psychological advantage, it will be very beneficial for them before the World Championships in Berlin.

Besides, the media shouted so hard before, and then it's time to really see the real move!
