July 6, Saint-Denis Stade de France, Paris, France.

As the second stop of the IAAF Golden League in Paris in 2007, a large number of Parisians gathered in the Stade de France.

The Stade de France is the 10th largest stadium in the world and is extremely prestigious internationally. The World Cup, European Cup, Champions League and other football leagues have staged many thrilling matches in this stadium.

Since 1999, the Stade de France has been a stop at the IAAF Golden League, attracting a large number of athletics fans, and in 2005, it was attended by 70,000 spectators, more than some of the world's top events and the Olympic Games.

This year's 2007 Golden League in Paris had a much smaller crowd than in the past, with Asafavil, the current world record holder in the men's 100m, not on the field, and his number one challenger, Jason Gaby, also absent, leaving many viewers who wanted to see the exciting 100m showdown a little disappointed.

But despite the lack of particularly appealing top superstars and exciting matchups, there were more than 30,000 spectators in attendance.

When Ye Qin entered the stadium, he could soon see the bright five-star red flag in many positions on the field, compared to Nordic or Greek countries, although there will be some Chinese students to cheer sporadically, but basically there is no scale.

But in countries like France and Germany, the situation is completely different.

As soon as he entered, in the noisy stadium of 30,000 people, Ye Qin could vaguely hear shouts calling his name one after another.

The kind of support and shouts from the bottom of my heart may not be understandable to some people, but when people are abroad and see strong domestic athletes appear on the track, it can really make people feel a sense of pride.

In the face of people from other countries, when talking about athletics and sprinting, being able to say Liu Yangyu and Ye Qin's name is a huge sense of accomplishment, if it is not for personal experience, ordinary people can't imagine it.

Just like the export of Hong Kong and Taiwan films, Chinese kung fu has become a symbol of the Chinese people, and the power of table tennis is another symbol, and the influence of certain sports is a subtle self-confidence.

Liu Yangyu won the men's 110m hurdles championship in 2004 and caused a huge sensation because of the significance of many layers. In a project that may not have been strong for us, the shock and pride of rising to become the world's first can greatly improve people's self-confidence.

At 15:15 in the afternoon, the list of nine athletes participating in the men's 100-meter race appeared on the big screen in France.

Many of the players Ye Qin faced in this game are still familiar faces:

The first is Kurandi-Martina of Andris, Netherlands;

The second is Clement Campbell of Jamaica;

The third lane is France's David Allett;

the fourth is Derek Atkins of the Bahamas;

The fifth lane is Leonard Scott of the United States;

The sixth is Yechin

The seventh lane is Jamaica's Steve Mullins;

The eighth lane is the American '04 Olympic 200m champion Sean Crowder;

lane 9, American Mark Jakes;

When the nine runners appeared on the track to start their performances, the audience was already eagerly waiting.

The men's 100m has always been the most talked-about race in any athletics event, and although the top Asafavir and Jason Gaby are missing, the men's 100m is still a high-level competition with Yechin and Derek Atkins and many other top men's 100m runners.

Ye Qin stood on the track of the sixth lane, and with the sound of cheers and boiling on the sidelines, the state of his body gradually adjusted.

In the men's 100m, he will face mainly Derek Atkins, and although many of the other athletes have also run at the top of their ranks, they should not be his strongest opponents from their current performances.

Before coming to Europe to compete, Ye Qin considered challenging for the million-dollar grand prize of the Golden League this year, but in the setting of the Golden League, many stations did not set up the men's 200m event, such as the Paris Golden League this time only men's 100m and men's 400m.

For the men's 100m and men's 400m events, Ye Qin still has a question mark about whether he can win six consecutive games. The men's 400m event was his earliest contact, and his results have been improving, and his performance is very good, but against Jimmy Warner, who has already run the 44-second mark many times, if the opponent is in good shape, the probability of him wanting to win is still relatively small.

In the men's 100m, he has not been focusing on it for long, and it has only been about a year since he was full, and if he meets Asafavir and Jason Gaby, he is likely to fail.

Of course, this is not to say that there is no chance at all. It's just the setting of this year's Golden League schedule, because of the World Championships in the middle, he is not sure if he can maintain his form in the Golden League after participating in the World Championships.

However, in this Golden League in Paris, Ye Qin still has great confidence.

Al-Asafavil is strong, but he has already won one game, and if he can continue to win all the games in Europe, there is no doubt that he will be able to accumulate enough confidence and momentum to overcome the other players in the next World Championships and even next year's Olympic Games.

“On your marks!”

At 15:20, the men's 100m race officially began.

After the audience fell silent, a "bang" of gunfire rang out at the scene.

Ye Qin suddenly got up from the runner and accelerated at the moment when the gun rang out, and after several men's 100m races this year, he has become more and more accustomed to this need to maintain a high level of concentration, and he needs to adjust his condition to the best race from the start.

In the men's 200m and men's 400m races, although he has maintained a lot of commitment, he has had more time to think about his position, judge his opponent and choose the timing of acceleration and sprinting than in the men's 100m.

The men's 100m is much more direct and violent than these, and after the gun sounds, you don't have to think about the distribution of physical energy, you don't have to think about the adjustment of the body tilt in the corner, all you need to do is to just go as fast as possible, raise your speed to the highest level, and cross the finish line in one breath.

10 meters, 20 meters, 30 meters......

At the start of the first 30 meters, Ye Qin still did not have an advantage compared to the other eight players present.

The amount of effort he has put into this area has been able to close the gap between him and these top 100m runners, but it is still not particularly outstanding, and even worse than some athletes who start with explosive muscles.

But as soon as the thirty meters passed, he gradually entered the stage of running on the way, and Ye Qin's absolute speed ability to run on the way was gradually reflected.

His current cadence is very fast, and his stride length is large enough, it takes about 43-45 steps to complete the 100 meters, most of the time it should be 43 and a half to 44 steps, sometimes the start is a little weaker, and he needs to take another half or one step to adjust.

In the 50 meters, Yechin's speed gradually increased to the extreme, catching up with Mark Jakes and Sean Crowder, who were running in front, and at 70 meters, Yechin equaled Derek Atkins, who was in amazing form this year.

At eighty meters, the two were basically on par, and when they reached ninety meters, Ye Qin gradually surpassed each other.

In the end, Ye Qin won the championship with a time of 9.97 seconds. This is the fourth time that Yechin has reached the 10-second mark in the official competition after the Athens Games in '06, the Oslo Golden League in '07 and the Athens Grand Prix.

Standing at the finish line, Ye Qin looked at the final results, and there was no joy on his face.

Today is July 6th, and there are four days left, which is July 10th, and the Lausanne Super Grand Prix is just around the corner.

There, Yechin will once again face the likes of Jason Gaby, Wallace Spearmon and Yusse Both.
