Chapter 540: Everyone is challenging you

"Jason Gaby ran a personal best of 45.57 seconds in the 400m."

At the Osaka Hotel, Yechin was a little surprised to hear about Jason Gaby's performance in the 400 meters at a small track and field event in the United States.

A time of 45.57 seconds may not seem particularly impressive, but it is important to remember that Jason Gaby is the runner who can run under 9.80 seconds in the men's 100m and 19.70 seconds in the 200m.

In this way, this 45.57 seconds is very exaggerated, and in other words, before Ye Qin appeared in the 400m event, the national men's 400m record was only 45.25 seconds.

For athletes who can have such an excellent performance in short-range explosiveness, it is still worth paying attention to in terms of speed and endurance.

"You were the one who challenged them, and now they're the ones who challenge you."

Yuan Guohua's expression on the news that Jason Gaby ran 45.57 seconds remains unchanged, which is a very good result for the average 400m athlete, and he may win medals in the National Games and Asian Games.

But in the end, it is still far from Yechin's performance in the 400m, and if Jason Gaby improves by one second in the 400m event, it will really cause excitement and excitement in everyone.

Ye Qin has already reached the top in both the men's 100m and 200m, beating Usain Bolt head-on in the 200m, and is now missing a major event and a world record to make up for his performance in this event.

And when a sprinter achieves the ultimate, he is faced with an endless stream of challengers who need to constantly surpass themselves.

At present, there are only a few people who are recognized in the international athletics world as having the ability to challenge Ye Qin, and naturally every move about these people will be magnified.

"I remember when Yusse Bote returned to Jamaica at last year's Olympics, he seemed to have said in the media that he might break the world record in 2010, right?"

Ye Qin remembered a news he saw when he answered the winter training of the training team last year, but he didn't pay much attention to it at the time, his mood and emotions were mostly affected by the words of his grandfather at home, and his whole body and mind got rid of the interference of the outside world, and he was completely focused on training.

"There's such a saying."

Yuan Guohua nodded, "Yusse Bol was once also known as Michael Johnson's second, although it is said that he is avoiding training in the 400 meters, he wants to compete with you and beat you, and he will definitely be above multiple events." 100 meters, 200 meters and 400 meters, it's all possible. ”

Ye Qin's current performance in the three sprint events has made many athletes who originally only focused on one or two events see the light of day.

For example, Asafavil is actively trying the 200m event, and Yusse Both, as a former 400m athlete, although the current 400m results are not particularly good, if you pick it up and train, with his height and size, many things are possible.

Jason Gaby started the season in the 400m in 45.57 seconds, and before that, Usey Bot had won two of the 400m in two smaller races in Kingston in March, with a best time of 45.54 seconds.

The performance of the two in the 400m event, with the 100m and 200m results in the front, can be regarded as very impressive.

And the reason why Yusse Bot said that next year, that is, in 2010, he may break the 400m world record, this answer is also obvious, because this year there is the Berlin World Championships, which is the year of the competition, and it is okay to try the 400m event, but the first thing that Yusse Bot needs to stabilize is his performance in the 100m and 200m.

Both Usse Bot and Jason Gaby have good performances in terms of speed and endurance, but one thing that is ultimately different from Yechin is that Yechin starts from 400 meters, while the other two start from 200 meters.

In fact, in addition to Eusse Bot and Jason Gaby, there was also Asafaville, who competed in the men's 400m at the Grace Jackson Invitational in Kingston, Jamaica in January '09, with a final time of 47.75 seconds.

Then, at the Sydney Athletics Classic in Australia in February, Asafavir competed in the men's 400m two hours after winning the relay for Jamaica, with a final time of 45.94 seconds!

It can be said that Ye Qin's main opponents, in addition to the 100-meter and 200-meter events, have their eyes on the 400-meter events, and they have repeatedly tried.

However, Asafavir was injured again in training in May, and the spotlight was not on him.

"You're changing the landscape of international athletics, and if you can challenge you, it's the right thing to do. Ye Chin, you are now the public enemy of the sprint world, from 100 meters to 400 meters, everyone is challenging you. ”

After Chen Zhongzhou counted the data of Ye Qin in the arena today, he smiled and looked at the two people who were chatting on the sofa in the hotel suite.

For Ye Qin to be able to single-handedly make these top athletes in the international athletics arena like a great enemy and put them in the position of challengers, the feeling of honor is really indescribable.

After sitting down on the sofa, Chen Zhongzhou continued with the topic just now,

"In addition to the guys you guys mentioned, Michael Johnson is said to have brought Jimmy Warner back under his coach Clyde Hart, who in 2008 was unhappy with his own performances."

Jimmy Warner was almost the dominator of the international 400m in the four years from 2004 to 2007, but since leaving his head coach and former Michael Johnson coach Clyde Hart in 2008, his results have declined considerably.

The rise of Yechin and Sean Merritt has caused Jimmy Warner to fall from the No. 1 position in the world to the No. 3 in the 400-meter world.

In the aftermath of the Yenching Olympics, Michael Johnson, who acted as Jimmy Warner's agent, pointed out that Jimmy Warner was still lacking in training with his new coach, Michael Ford.

There has been a previous media report that Jimmy Warner publicly apologized to Clyde Hart in order to get guidance from the other party, hoping to better prepare for this year's World Championships in Berlin.

"In terms of the situation, it is still very serious."

Yuan Guohua bowed slightly, Ye Qin straddles the three fields of sprinting, and there will be strong contenders in any event.

"Well, I should be more reasonable in the next game to make sure that I am in the best shape before the World Championships in Berlin." Ye Qin also did not dare to ignore the movements of his opponents.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself." Looking at Ye Qin's serious expression, Yuan Guohua was a little relieved, "Your main competitor now is still Yusse Bote, he seems to have had a little accident in April this year?" ”

"It was a car accident." Ye Qin nodded, "He drove a BMW and crashed it himself." ”

What happened at the end of April, after the car accident, Yechin gave Yusse Bot and went to the phone.

After the Yenching Olympics, a sponsor gave him a BMW, this guy is a show-off character, and he accidentally overturned under the road while driving.

"Seriously? Will it affect his form this year? Speaking of this, Yuan Guohua suddenly sat up slightly straight.

Competitive sports, especially sprint events, are highly competitive and a person who is not in good shape is likely to be an underdog.

Like last year's Jason Gaby, and Yechin's performance in the 200m event can be said to be exemplary.

"He told me there was something wrong that could affect this year's race." Ye Chin relayed the other party's statement after calling Yusse Bot earlier.

"So he won't be a threat to you in the 100m and 200m this year?" Chen Zhongzhou next to him was also a little curious, he had heard about Yusse Bote's injury before, but he didn't know that Ye Qin and the other party had called to express condolences, and the details were not clear.

Saying this, Ye Qin immediately shook his head and smiled, "Yusse Bot I know him too well, he should have nothing to do, as if he had just had a minor operation." He used to like to shout, this is to confuse the opponent, and when you come back to the game, you can continue to watch, he must be faster than anyone else! ”

Yechin and Yusse-Bot have known each other for several years, and they know each other's personality traits well, knowing that this champion has a strong dedication to competitive sports and is arguably his most difficult opponent to beat.

It's also normal to put some such little tricks on the outside, and when the results of the later competitions come out, basically everyone can know what the final situation will be.
