Chapter 205: 200m Final (Part I)

“…… CCTV, good evening audience friends, I am Mu Jiang, it is now 3:50 a.m. Beijing time, and I will bring you the final of the men's 200m of the 28th Athens Olympic Games, which is also the first time that Chinese athletes have entered the final of the sprint event in the Olympic Games, and in the semi-finals last night, the 17-year-old Ye Qin once again broke the national record in 20.45 seconds to advance to the final. He is also the youngest of the eight finalists. We have reason to believe that a new star in the field is rising from this......"

At this time, many viewers in China who were still squatting in front of the TV in the early morning couldn't help cheering the moment Mu Jiang's voice came out of the TV.

The two sisters on the sofa in the living room of Linzhou Longyue Community were originally restrained, and they didn't even dare to speak quietly, but when Ye Qin appeared on the TV screen, Chen Ziyuan hugged a big pillow, shook her body on the sofa fiercely, and screamed exaggeratedly.

"Sister, Ye Qin, that is Ye Qin'......"

"I saw it, you be quiet!" Chen Zixi's eyes seemed to be overflowing, and he didn't care about his sister's shouting, just looked at the TV screen intently.

"Wow, standing in the middle of so many black people, how do I think he's not black at all."

With the camera lens of the scene, from far to near, it was slowly stretched to the track and field, and in front of the starting line of the corner, the Asian teenager in the first red sprint suit was particularly vivid among the black runners wearing sprint clothes of different colors.

"He's not black......" Chen Zixi waved his hand again.

"Hmph, it's not dark ......"

……

In the stands of the Olympic Stadium in Athens.

Among the Jamaican athletes who came to the field to cheer on Asa Favir in a yellow-and-green striped jersey, a tall, thin athlete swept his gaze over the eight runners in front of the starting line, and then his face showed a strong look of unwillingness.

"It's a shame that Yusse, if you don't get hurt, you have a good chance of competing for the Olympic title!"

Fellow Christo Williams shook his head and said regretfully, he regretted to be out of the semi-finals in the men's 200m race, which was actually what he expected, his performance was inconsistent, and it took luck to get to the final, and obviously, his luck was not too good.

And the tall black teenager next to him is the one with excellent talent in the 200m, and when he was 16 years old last year, he had already achieved the 200m and 400m that Michael Johnson could only achieve at the age of 20.

Yusse Bot looked at the many players on the field, and there was a deep regret between his eyebrows, especially when he saw the red figure on the field, the Asian teenager, first was slightly stunned, and finally became a little resentful.

He may not be particularly familiar with other people, even Asa Favir, the two don't have a lot of intersection now, but the Asian teenager in the red sprinter, Yusse Bote, was really a little surprised to see the other party appear in the final.

"It's progressing so fast!"

Yusse-Bot muttered in a low voice, his gaze resting on the other. He still remembers the time when the two ran in the 200m at the World Junior Championships last year, when he ran 20.40 seconds while Ye Qin ran 21.12 seconds.

And this time in the Olympics, he was eliminated in the first round, and Ye Qin went all the way and even broke into the fourth round of the final. It's a terrible feeling to lose to an opponent who lost to him at the World Junior Championships last year, but to surpass him at the Olympics.

In just over a year, Ye Qin is already close to his results at last year's World Junior Championships.

At this year's Caribbean Games in Hamilton, Bermuda, he won the men's 200m with a stunning time of 19.93 seconds, and the whole of Jamaica went crazy for him, calling him "the best sprinter the island has ever seen", which is the current year's first time in the men's 200m.

He was fancied by all Jamaican people to see him do great, but he actually felt the pressure before he came to the competition.

He won the 2002 World Junior Championships and the 2003 World Junior Championships, and at last year's World Championships, he was ready to compete, and with his results at that time, he wanted to create a new personal best, even if he couldn't win the World Championships.

But just before the World Championships, he suddenly developed conjunctivitis in his eye, which affected his training plan, and the JAAA (Jamaica Amateur Sports Association) felt that he might not be in peak condition and refused to let him compete, and he was frustrated at the time when he lost the opportunity.

But there are also the Olympics, and he focused on the Olympics, but a leg injury in May prevented him from participating in this year's World Junior Championships in Italy, and although he was selected for the Olympics, he thought it might not be too good because of his leg injury.

As a result, in the first round, he only ran 21.05 seconds, and unfortunately went out.

Truth be told, if it weren't for the desire to cheer Asa Favir on, he wouldn't have wanted to be at the Olympics. Looking at the players in the arena, Yusse-Bot only felt that his thoughts were flying, and he gradually flew to other places.

……

At this time, the big screen of the Athens Olympic Games and the TV screen that directly broadcast the men's 200m final of the Olympic Games were all showing the information of this group of men's 200m finalists:

First, Yechin, China;

second, Asa Favir, Jamaica;

Third Lane, Jax Thelin, USA;

Fourth Way, Sean Crowder, USA;

Fifth Way, Bernard William, USA;

Sixth lane, Francis Okovey, Portugal;

Seventh Way, Stefan-Buckland, Mauritius;

Eighth Lane, Frankie Fredery, Namibia;

After Ye Qin entered the arena, listening to the pervasive boos in his ears, the muscles on his face couldn't help but twitch slightly.

Although he had already experienced the semi-finals of the preliminaries in the previous round, he also knew that the Greek people were unhappy with their national hero Kentrice, and Yu Weili also told him that the audience might adopt a hostile attitude, but when he really arrived at the arena, he found that the atmosphere of this confrontation was much greater than he thought.

Supposedly, the game should have continued directly, but many viewers watching the live broadcast were surprised to find that a loud background sound suddenly came from the TV.

"Kentris!"

"Kentris!"

……

Sitting in front of the TV, Nie Fangping watched Ye Qin appear on the TV screen, but before he had time to be happy, he suddenly found that the TV broadcast screen was interrupted, and he jumped directly into the live broadcast room of the scene, and his eyebrows wrinkled into a Sichuan character.

The atmosphere of this game was very wrong, specifically, he did not know the details, but the noise and noise of the scene just now simply surprised him a little.

And as an old coach, you can feel the confrontation of the audience through some details.

"What's going on?"

Nie Fangping had such a question in his heart, but this question was quickly dispelled, he didn't care about what happened on the scene, he was just worried that such a game atmosphere would not affect Ye Qin's performance.

At this time, many viewers who were waiting to watch the men's 200-meter final couldn't help but scold their mothers, obviously seeing that the athletes were ready to be in place and were about to start the competition, but suddenly the camera switched and the live broadcast hall of the central five appeared.

From the mouths of several hosts, many viewers who don't know the inside story probably understand what happened.

The Greek hero and reigning Olympic champion Kentris missed the Olympics because he missed a drug test, and the crowd of more than 75,000 was so unhappy that they booed and chanted the name "Kentris" in unison in protest before the game.

Ye Qin and several other athletes in the arena looked at each other, and the huge boos and noises made it almost impossible for anyone to hear other sounds, not to mention the sound of reminding the players to be in place, even if the starting gun was directly fired, it would be covered by the huge sound that shook people's eardrums.

In the stands, Yusse Bot looked at the crazy Greek crowd of seventy or eighty thousand in the stadium, and he could feel the unwilling emotions of these people, but as an athlete, he was very disgusted by such behavior.

This has seriously affected the progress of the normal competition, interfered with the athletes who are about to final, and is undoubtedly very disappointing for a host country.

On the other side, Feng Shuyou, Yu Weili and others were also quite annoyed when they saw this crazy scene. Especially Yu Weili, he had already explained to Ye Qin before the game that the audience would adopt a hostile attitude and might postpone the game, but he didn't expect it to be so intense.

This is a rare and dramatic scene in the entire history of the Olympic Games.

Ye Qin stood on the field, listening to the live broadcast over and over again, asking the audience to be quiet and abide by the discipline of watching the game, and after almost ten minutes, the huge boos and noise were only a little smaller.

The competition restarted, this time it was very fast, and in the previous men's 200m finals, the live broadcast introduced the athletes' information one by one, and there was no process to welcome the cheers of the audience.

Directly in the earth-shattering noise, the curtain of the game was opened.

Ye Qin is still the first in this group of competitions, and he is also a little surprised by his arrangement of the Olympic Games, the machine competition is basically not the first or the second, but basically according to the results, he is almost in this lane, and it is impossible to change.

Exhaling softly, Ye Qin's feet landed on the running aid, and instead of looking up at the surrounding arena, he silently adjusted his emotions.

The loud noise almost stirred up the people's blood and blood, and it was impossible to calm down at all.

He could see Asa Favir in the second lane not far in front of him, the other party seemed to be completely unaccustomed to such a scene, and after often, in the midst of that loud noise, Ye Qin saw his palms trembling slightly from time to time, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down his forehead.

However, Ye Qin only glanced at it lightly and didn't pay much attention to it, in such a field, every athlete has a lot of psychological pressure.

From being selected for the Olympic team after the World Youth Championships to now standing in the men's 200m final, all this is like a dream for Ye Qin.

Time is too fast, and in the training day after day, it seems that many things are vivid in my mind yesterday, but all of a sudden, it has jumped to today.

The final of the men's 200 meters in the Olympic Games, which Ye Qin never thought of being able to achieve before, in this Olympic Games, he recognized the gap between himself and other top athletes, and there were times when he was ashamed to chase the championship, and he thought that he could not qualify, although it was only a few days, a few games, but the mood was like a roller coaster, ups and downs.

Finally, now, the most critical time, the fourth shot, the final!

At this moment, he seemed to suddenly understand something, all the preparation, all the training, it seemed that it was just for this moment.

Olympics, Finals!

This will be the greatest pursuit for almost the vast majority of athletes in this world.

And he stood on this stage, and it wasn't like the first round of the 400m, but the 200m final, against the top seven other athletes in the world.

Ye Qin has thought about medals and championships, although he thinks it is impossible and feels very far away, but at this point, when it comes to the finals, who may really have no idea at all.

But although he has a strong hope of winning medals and medals, he will not be led astray by this mentality, on the other hand, reason is also telling him to calm his mind, just let go and run, to this point, it is already a victory for himself.

If you can't get a better result, then a personal best is enough.

Do anything, have the best hopes, do your best, prepare for the worst, and have the best attitude.

Lean over and bow your head.

Before the starting line of the 200-meter corner, all eight runners stepped on the running aids and waited for the instructions of the starter.

The two referees quickly patrolled back and forth, and saw that all the athletes' bodies remained still stationary and there were no fouls, while the starter next to him seized the rare quiet gap in the scene and raised the starting pistol high.

At this moment, suddenly, Ye Qin saw a rather unexpected scene.

Jamaican Asa Favier in the second lane raised his right hand high and signaled to the referee that he had a problem.

At first, Ye Qin thought it might be some running aid, or something like that, but then he was surprised.

Asa Favir actually retired directly!

Amid the boos from the crowd, Asa Favir seemed to leave the starting line for reasons of his mentality, or a recurrence of his leg injury.

In the audience, more than a dozen players who came to watch his game at this time couldn't help but hide their faces with their hands, and their eyes were full of unprecedented loss.

In a stadium like the Olympic Games, on such a stage, an athlete who was disturbed and could not resist the situation of withdrawing, even if it was due to injury or other factors, but it still made many Jamaican spectators present very disappointed.
