In the eighties and nineties, the biggest players in the world men's sprint were none other than Carl Lewis, Michael Johnson, Maurice Green, Donovan Bailey, and other super-notch athletes.

It was also during this period that the talent of black people in track and field was gradually recognized, and the achievements of these top sprinters are needless to say, but in Asia in the 90s, there was also a very sensational athlete at the time.

Japanese sprinter – Koji Ito.

This is the person Yan Ning thought of for the first time.

At a time when track and field sprinting has not yet risen in China and the sprinting twins are still growing, Japan represents the highest level of sprinting in Asia. Among the many sprinters in Japan, Koji Ito, who just retired this year and said goodbye to the track, is an iconic flag.

At the 1998 Asian Games in Bangkok, Thailand, Koji Ito set an Asian record of 10 seconds, and when the news broke, it caused a sensation in almost all of Asia.

Not counting Benjamin Johnson, who took illegal drugs, Koji Ito is the thirtieth runner in history to run or break 10 full, which is not only an encouragement for the Japanese sprint at this time, but also a clear direction for the Chinese sprint at this time when the national 100-meter record is still 10.17 seconds.

Yan Ning still remembers the sentence written in the magazine "Athletics" at the time, "The Asian record of 10 seconds set by Koji Ito at the Asian Games in Bangkok is enough to excite Asia, which ranks first in the world in terms of population." Although the scenery within the 10-second mark is more exciting, after all, Koji Ito heard the first knock on the door for us. ”

The technical characteristics of Koji Ito are that he has an excellent ability to maintain his speed in the second half of the race, his absolute speed is not particularly fast, but his ability to maintain speed is very against the sky, and in many races, the second half of the race tends to give people a feeling of running faster and smoother.

Ye Qin just gave Yan Ning such a feeling.

In the first half of the race, Ye Qin ran mediocre, and it could even be said that it was very poor, not to mention the running posture for the time being, that is, there were not many flashpoints in the start and acceleration, but after fifty meters, it seemed that he was running, the rhythm was getting better and better, the movements became very smooth, and the speed had just been raised.

It seems that if there is a runway ahead, Ye Qin's speed can be faster!

This kind of performance really made Yan Ning's eyes shine!

Although she was not a sprinter when she was in the professional team before, she had come into contact with many sprinters, and it was still relatively rare for her to have an excellent ability to maintain speed in the second half of the race.

When Yan Ning thought of this, he somehow remembered the scene where he asked Ye Qin under the tree next to the playground in physical education class......

……

After crossing the finish line, Liu Yizhen and Li Jianchao and Fang Qiang trotted for more than ten meters and gradually stopped, while Ye Qin rushed straight out of more than 30 meters, and finally almost touched the wall on the edge of the playground with his palms, which was considered to be a complete stop.

Even so, the people next to him seemed to be able to hear the muffled sound of their bodies hitting the masonry wall with a "poof".

The hot breath spewed out from his mouth and nose, and Ye Qin slowly took a small step back from the wall, still a little stunned.

"Won't you?"

Ye Qin couldn't be completely sure for a while whether he had caught up with Liu Yizhen when Fang Cai finally crossed the finish line, Li Jianchao and Fang Qiang, who was in the third year of high school, must have surpassed them, but Liu Yizhen seemed to have it, but he couldn't say for sure.

In the final section, he kept rushing at full speed, desperately trying to increase his speed. When he suddenly came back to his senses, he not only crossed the finish line, but also got off the track and crashed directly into the fence on the edge of the playground.

Ye Qin shook his arm lightly, and slowly walked towards the finish line, moving casually as he walked before hitting the shoulder on the wall, although the speed finally dropped and the arm was supported, but the left shoulder was still a little numb.

The soles of my feet stepped on the rough sand and cinders, and there was a faint tingling pain, and I didn't feel much when I ran it, but it became clear after running.

However, Ye Qin didn't care, but his steps were lighter, breathing heavily, his heart pounding wildly, and the slight soreness of his leg muscles being stretched by sudden and intense strength suddenly made him feel extraordinarily comfortable.

He liked the feeling of running, the feeling of the wind blowing in his ears and his body galloping. When he was running, he even felt that every cell in his body was jumping with joy when he ran.

If he hadn't reached the finish line, he felt like he could keep running!

He has loved to run since he was a child, and he also runs fast!

But from the month before entering high school, I worked odd jobs in a brick kiln factory in order to worry about tuition, and after entering high school, I also devoted myself to studying, and it seems that I haven't been so happy for a long time.

As for the anger that was provoked by Li Jianchao just now, after outperforming the other party, this will have dissipated to seventy-seven eighty-eight.

……

"The second half of this journey is really fast!"

Liu Yizhen's footsteps stopped, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw Ye Qin completely stop because his speed was too fast.

From the county-wide middle school student sports meeting in junior high school, to the city to participate in the competition in the first year of high school, there are not no people who are stronger than him and can run fast, but he really hasn't seen a player like Ye Qin who suddenly broke out in the second half of the year and directly killed himself.

Judging from the performance of the other party's amateur start and other aspects, he is completely a layman, and such a talent is really enviable.

His own goal is almost to go to the second-level level, but Ye Qin's short performance in the second half of the game gives him a completely different feeling.

"I'm going to have to work harder in the future." Liu Yizhen was a little vigilant.

He has been a very good student in sports since he was a child, and his family had no concept of sports students before, but Liu Yizhen's cousin, who was already working in the provincial capital, knew his situation and analyzed with his parents that it was a bit difficult to go to college with his grades, but it was still very promising to take the road of sports students.

He has basically been practicing sports since then, and he doesn't dare to say how hard he works, but his achievements in sports are far beyond those of ordinary students.

And now, a barefoot boy suddenly appeared and made him realize that he really underestimated other people.

And Li Jianchao, who danced the most happily, grabbed his hair fiercely with both hands, and his expression seemed to be a little crazy.

Like Liu Yizhen, he has focused on practicing sports and sprinting since junior high school, although he used to be taught by a physical education teacher in class, and when he trained, he inevitably had some three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, but he always practiced.

In the entire sophomore year of high school, he was a little worse than Liu Yizhen, and he was far beyond others.

Unexpectedly, a high school freshman from the countryside who was casually pulled over to time them was ridiculed by him, and he really ended up, and he outperformed them.

It's a really uncomfortable feeling!

As for saying that you are not convinced, you have to run again?

The thought crossed his mind as he crossed the finish line, but quickly dismissed it.

It's hard to say whether barefoot is faster than wearing spiked shoes, but people don't even know how to run with a running aid and squatting start, and they are a year older than others, and they have practiced for a long time, so how can they have the face to speak again.

Raising his head and looking at Ye Qin who came back from the other side of the wall, Li Jianchao opened his mouth, and when he saw that Ye Qin didn't look at him, he breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, and simply turned his head away, just as if he didn't see it. Slowly followed behind Liu Yizhen and walked back to the finish line together.
