The 2009 World Championships in Berlin was the largest to date, with 202 countries and 2,101 athletes in 47 events.

August 21 is the seventh day of the World Championships, but including the eighth and ninth days, the cumulative ticket sales have reached 400,000.

In 1936, one of the most intriguing matches of the Berlin Olympics was the long jump duel between Germany's Karl Ludwig and the United States' Jesse Owens.

In this race, Carl Ludwig was ahead of Jesse Owens for a while, but he found Jesse Owens' technical problems from the game and gave Jesse Owens a pertinent suggestion, and finally Jesse Owens won the gold medal in the long jump with Karl Ludwig's advice.

The athletic rivalry and friendship between Carl Ludwig and Jesse Owens became the most talked-about example in sport for decades.

The Olympic Stadium, the main venue of the World Championships in Berlin, was the place where the two faced off that year. In honor of the two athletes, the event organizers awarded $100,000 to any athlete who broke the world record at the World Championships.

At 22 o'clock in the evening, when Ye Qin stepped into the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, he unconsciously remembered what Nie Fangping had told him about the long jump final between Jesse Owens and Carl Ludwig when he was in high school.

At that particular time, political elements were mixed into sports.

The German Führer watched the long jump competition on the spot, hoping to boost the morale of the whole country with sportsmanship, and it was extremely rare for an athlete on the field to be able to help his competitors fairly and with his sincerity and sportsmanship.

Ye Qin sometimes feels particularly admirable about the competitive spirit of the two athletes at that time, and as for the prize money given by the organizers to the world record-breaking athletes, he does not pay special attention to it.

He has already broken two world records at this World Championships, making him the only player to do so far. The prize money is no longer the most important goal of his competitive selection, but the charm of his own competitive sports, which attracts him.

In some sports, it is difficult for players to achieve a certain level of achievement, and after winning the Grand Slam tournaments, they may become slack.

Track and field is different, especially in sprint events, every progress and regression of his can be carefully calculated with precise time, ten seconds, hundreds of seconds, and thousands of seconds.

Ye Qin, who was standing behind the track, gently adjusted his breathing, relaxed his tense mood for days, and in this men's 400-meter final, he thought deeply about letting go and running.

No matter what kind of results you can run now, whether you can win or lose to your opponents, do your best!

……

In the entire stadium audience, the number of spectators tonight was no less than that of the previous men's 100 meters and men's 200 meters, and many spectators sat in their seats and gave a warm welcome and applause at the moment they saw Ye Qin appear on the field.

From this year's Golden League in Berlin to the men's 100m and men's 200m finals at this World Championships, Yechin's performance has completely conquered the stadium and conquered the city.

Many viewers who had only watched Ye Chin's matches on TV before had become his fans after watching the madness of Ye Chin's two finals live.

They are witnessing the emergence of a great legend in the history of athletics!

And now, the legend will once again challenge him in the men's 400m final at this stadium, and countless people are looking forward to what kind of spark he will burst out with the best athletes on the planet.

Wearing a cap, Yusse Bot sat in the audience with his parents, quietly waiting for the men's 400m final.

For him, there is only one relay race left at the World Championships, and now he can sit on the sidelines and watch the 400m final with full heart.

No longer a challenger, no longer an opponent, just a friend to see if Ye Qin can accomplish the feat that he failed to accomplish at the Osaka World Championships and the Yenching Olympics - winning three men's sprint titles alone in a World Championships or Olympic Games.

"Brother, I'm sure you'll be able to do it! You're the one who defeated me, Euse-Both! ”

An inexplicable thought crossed Yusse-Bot's mind, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and he grinned and clapped softly on the sidelines.

Athletics competition is confined to the field, and after two matches, his showdown with Yechin has come to an end for the time being, and the next challenge should be at the 2011 World Championships and the 2012 Olympics.

Now, he's just giving encouragement and applause to the opponent who was able to win both the men's meter.

If you can defeat my opponent, you should be able to defeat anyone on this planet!

……

“…… In this men's 400m race, Ye Qin will face the opponent of the triple crown winner of the 04 Athens Olympics and the 05 and 07 World Championships, Jimmy Warner, who has not been in particularly good personal form since the beginning of '08, but he has run under 44 seconds many times and is still the best 400-meter athlete on the planet.

The other is Sean Merritt, who and Jimmy Warner are both Americans. Merritt won both last year's Olympic trials and at the Olympics, beating Jimmy Warner, who is considered Yechin's current strongest rival in the men's 400m. Before the game, Sean Merritt also expressed his determination to compete with Ye Qin for the men's 400m championship at this World Championships. This year, Shaun Merritt and Jimmy Warner both went undefeated this season......

Okay, the information of the eight players on the big screen has been typed out......"

Accompanied by Mu Jiang's commentary, many viewers in China who got up early in the morning and yawned for days, waiting to watch the game, all woke up at this time.

Berlin time is seven hours longer than in China, and it is five o'clock in the morning the next day.

The audience who had already stayed up late to watch the men's 100m and men's 200m in front of Yeqin will not miss the men's 400m this time. Everyone is looking forward to Ye Chin's outstanding performance in the men's 400m race.

In a World Championships, Ye Qin basically had games from the first day of the competition to the last day of the competition, which also made many domestic commentators laugh and say that they were watching the World Cup, one after another.

After Mu Jiang's voice fell, the men's 400m race list appeared in front of everyone on the big screen at the scene and in front of the TV:

First Lane, David Chirico, Ireland;

the second, Rainey-Kuo, Trinidad and Tobago;

the third, Yechin, China;

Fourth Way, Sean Merritt, USA;

Fifth lane, Chris Brown, Bahamas;

Sixth Lane, Jimmy Warner, USA;

Seventh Path, Tabari-Henry, U.S. Virgin Islands;

Eighth Way, Michael Bingham, UK;

In this race, Ye Qin was in the third lane, and his previous results in the 400m semi-finals were not particularly outstanding, and like the 200m event, he did not occupy a particularly strong position in the lane arrangement.

However, compared to the seventh lane of the 200m event, it is clear that the third lane this time is not bad, at least his two competitors are in front of him, and he can clearly grasp their position.

Standing in the third position, after participating in the men's meter finals one after another, Ye Qin's mentality for the men's 400m race was very balanced.

From the moment he entered the venue, he briefly remembered the history of this stadium that Nie Fangming had told him, and quickly focused on the game in front of him.

Compared with last year's Olympics and the World Championships the year before last, in fact, most of the opponents he needs to face in the entire track and field arena are familiar people.

In particular, the top ones are all familiar faces.

This is also the norm in athletics, and a player who has reached the top of his career, whether he wins a medal or not, will basically be a regular in various competitions.

If Asafavil is what he said, the real competition is not the pressure on the players, because the people are still the same people, but they change the name and the venue, and they want something, and they will feel different pressures.

After a short stretch on the field, Yechin soon heard "Onyourmarks!" The position command sounded.

Taking a deep breath and slowly exhaling it, adjusting his competitive state to the best, Ye Qin stepped onto the already adjusted running aid.

“…… The race is about to begin! There is now a tense atmosphere in the entire Berlin stadium, and we will wait and see if Ye Qin can win the 400m championship again in this World Championships! ”

As Mu Jiang's voice ended, both the spectators in the Olympic Stadium and those watching the game in front of the TV couldn't help but sit upright.

The stadium of 70,000 people gradually quieted down at this time.

“SET！”

Syllable!

The guns of the game rang out instantly!

At the moment when the gun rang out in the race, Ye Qin's legs kicked on the running aid, and he immediately ran out.

Although there is still a relay behind, for Ye Qin, the most difficult race in front is basically over, and this 400-meter final can be run without scruples.

However, although he let go to run, after he started, he did not go all out and increase his speed to the highest speed.

Rather, he controls his speed rhythmically, he is already a seasoned athlete who knows what kind of competition to face and what strategy to adopt.

From the start, Ye Qin followed behind Sean Merritt unslowly, using the opponent's speed as a benchmark to control his speed.

However, after 30 meters, it was obvious to Ye Qin that Jimmy Warner in the sixth lane on the outside was very fast, and it can be said that he began to sprint forward quickly from the start.

In the 0-100m stage, the top 400m athletes will probably control the speed to about 11 seconds, which is not fast for many 100m athletes, but in the 400m event, this speed is already extremely amazing.

Because the second 100 meters and the third 100 meters do not need to be accelerated, basically the athletes can run under 11 seconds.

Of course, for Ye Qin, it was very easy to maintain a speed of about 11 seconds in the first 100 meters, but in this final, it was obvious that Jimmy Warner's speed after the start should have been 11 seconds.

At the same time, the voice of Mu Jiang, the on-site commentator, also sounded at the same time: "...... Ye Chin's start was very steady and he was accelerating! Jimmy Warner ran very fast in front of him, just like he did at the Yenching Olympics, which was his skill after changing coaches, and now it seems that although he has returned to the old coach, he has not changed his skills...... Merritt is starting to speed up and overtake it!! ”

In the first 100 meters, Jimmy Warner ran to first place ahead of almost everyone else, but in the second 100 meters, Sean Merritt began to gradually increase his speed and began to catch up with Jimmy Warner from behind.

And Ye Qin, who was following behind Sean Merritt, was also very stable in speed, and did not suddenly surpass Sean Merritt, but just maintained a distance not to be thrown away by the other party.

In terms of absolute speed, at the 200-meter distance, if he runs at full strength, he can beat Sean Merritt and Jimmy Warner by more than a second.

But in the 400m race, the second half is the key!

Straight into the corner!

m to start!

This distance can be said to be a crucial distance for 400m runners, and it is also the best opportunity to achieve overtaking and overtaking.

At his peak, Jimmy Warner's instantaneous acceleration in the 250m stage has always been an important technical feature of his dominance in the 400m event. This phase has even been hailed as "Warner Time".

But in this men's 400m final, it seems that Jimmy Warner changed his running technique from last year, focusing his speed on the first half, and he accelerated in the moment of the meter and did not appear again.

Not only was it not possible to achieve an increase in speed at 250 meters, but it was significantly slower than before!

But Sean Merritt seized the opportunity, and although he was slower than Jimmy Warner in the first 100m, he had caught up in the second 100m and was slightly ahead of Jimmy Warner.

By the third 100m, Sean Merritt was significantly better at controlling his speed.

The measure of whether or not you are a top 400m athlete is actually at this stage, the first 100 meters and the second 100 meters, many good sprinters have the speed to run under 11 seconds. In the second 100 meters, it is possible to rise to the next track because there is no need to accelerate from the start, but after the first two 100 meters of high-speed running, and the third 100 meters, many competitors are unable to maintain their speed.

If you can run under 11 seconds in the third 100m, you can maintain your speed quite well, but of course, if the race is a men's 400m race, not a 300m race.

Ye Qin's speed naturally dropped compared to the second 100 meters between the meters, but his excellent speed maintenance ability was not thrown away by Sean Merritt, and he still maintained the momentum of keeping pace with the opponent at a relative distance.

As in most rice races, the audience basically feels that the competitors are running faster and faster, but in fact, the highest point of speed is only one or two, and the speed still fluctuates during the period.

Just if you follow other competitors as a reference, the speed increase will give people a visual feeling of sudden acceleration.

Corners into straights!

In the final 80 meters, Yechin and Shaun Merritt took the lead in the straight almost at the same time, followed by Jimmy Warner, who was about a little more than a body slower than Yechin and Shaun Merritt.

Eighty meters, seventy meters, sixty meters......

The finish line is getting closer!

And after entering the straight, both Yechin and Sean Merritt began to accelerate the sprint.

The two are next to each other, and this competition is the fiercest!

The audience in the audience also boiled at this time, and once again saw the picture of someone and Ye Qin running side by side in a race, crossing the finish line.

Fifty meters, forty meters, thirty meters......

Just when everyone thought that this kind of neck-and-neck picture might last until the finish line, Ye Qin suddenly increased his speed again after crossing the 50-meter line, overtaking Sean Merritt.

From the beginning of the start to the present, he has been accumulating the last bit of physical energy that has not exploded, and Ye Qin finally used it at this time.

Sean Merritt watched Ye Qin beside him gradually surpass, and his whole face instantly twitched, while Jimmy Warner, who was behind the two, was getting closer and closer to the finish line, and his speed was getting slower and slower.

He's already thinking about giving up on the game.

His current state and running skills are not as good as those at his peak, and seeing that there is no hope of winning the championship, his heart is relieved, and his body speed is also slowing down.

Twenty meters, ten meters......

Ye Qin clenched his teeth, and in this final sprint, he was also bursting out with all his strength.

The most difficult part of the 400m is from 250 seconds, and he needs to maintain speed and stamina.

By the last 50 meters, he was almost at the limit of his physical fitness!

Rush the line!

The audience suddenly boiled!

On the yellow timing board, the men's 400m results of this group appeared in front of everyone.

43.98 seconds!

"43.98 seconds! Champion! Ye Chin won! Ye Chin won the men's 400m championship again! Ye Qin achieved the men's sprint triple crown in this World Championships!! ”

Almost at the moment when Ye Qin crossed the finish line, the voice of the commentator Mu Jiang sounded excitedly again.

Although his tone was not as frantic and hysterical as the previous men's 100m and men's 200m, it was still difficult to hide the excitement in his tone.

On the big screen at the scene, after eight runners crossed the finish line, this group of men's 400-meter results appeared in front of everyone at the same time.
