Chapter 321 05 World Championships Men's 400m Final (II)
10 meters ...... Thirty meters...... Fifty meters......
On the field, all eight players were trying to speed up as fast as they could after the gunshots rang out. The top 400m sprinters will have a pace during the race, suppressing their speed to run a little bit and retain their energy until the final stage of the run.
But even if there is a pace, the first priority is to increase the speed, if not 100 percent of the top speed, but at least 95 percent.
Runners who can run 400 meters have a certain ability to maintain their speed in the second half, and if they really fall too far behind in the first half, it is also unrealistic to rely entirely on the speed of the second half to catch up.
Ye Qin's previous style of running was able to win when encountering not very strong runners, but in the international arena, it was very difficult to catch up with others in the second half of the race when encountering runners with excellent speed and endurance.
In the months since returning home from the New York Grand Prix, he's made a lot of adjustments to his pace and pace, so he's now in the first half of the race at a decent pace and at a decent pace on the way.
At a distance of fifty meters, Ye Qin could already roughly judge that he and Jimmy Warner were about the same speed, and the two did not open up any gap at this stage.
This is also a normal phenomenon, in the 400m race, the first 100m is not too different from each other's speed before most of them, and the real start of the momentum is still to come.
Sixty meters...... Eighty meters ...... 100 meters......
In the blink of an eye, the first corner enters the straight!
Ye Qin's speed is good, and after entering the straight, he can roughly judge that his position in the team this time is basically not particularly obvious and backward. Moreover, his speed was maintained very well, and he began to gradually start to exert force.
In the 400m race, he basically started and accelerated slowly in the first half of the race, but now after adjustment, what he has to do in the first corner is not to be left behind by others.
And when you reach the knowing stage, you can start to accelerate and gradually overtake others.
Among the seven players competing in the same group, Ye Qin knows very well that those who can win the men's 200-meter championship are definitely not bad in speed, and many of them can't even enter the final.
But if you want to win the last 400 meters, you can't just have speed, you also need to have the ability to maintain speed.
150 meters, 170 meters...... One hundred and ninety meters......
In the straights, Yechin's personal speed ability gradually showed up, and he began to close in on Jimmy Warner step by step.
As an Olympic champion, Jimmy Warner's speed ability alone is not particularly strong, but his ability to maintain a constant speed in the front of more than 200 meters is very good, and he can basically maintain a high speed to run in front.
After all, Jimmy Warner did not suddenly start to slow down, and still ran steadily.
At the same time, on the other side, Tyler Christopher in lane 4 also maintained his speed very well, and Yechin and Jimmy Warner did not directly pass him in relative distance around the first 200 meters.
Only Andrew Luke in lane seven, the American runner whom Ye Qin had fought once, ran very unrestrainedly, although it was in lane seven, but before the straight was finished, he had already caught up with Chris Brown, a Bahamian player in lane eight, and he was not stingy with physical strength at all.
Straight into the corner!
Yechin entered the corner slightly slower than Jimmy Warner's body by more than two positions, and in relative position, Yechin knew that he should have overtaken Jimmy Warner by this time.
His current running style doesn't particularly suppress the pace in the first half, and with his speed ability in the second half of the 200m, it's normal to surpass Jimmy Warner in lane 3 at this stage.
Two hundred and twenty meters, two hundred and thirty meters, two hundred and fifty meters......
At 250 meters, suddenly, Ye Qin only felt that Jimmy Warner next to him suddenly began to accelerate, and when most 400-meter athletes ran to 250 meters, their bodies began to enter a more difficult stage, Jimmy Warner went the opposite way and directly began to accelerate and rush forward.
Ye Qin also knew such technical characteristics, and he also ran like this before, although he was no longer so rushing after adjusting the rhythm, but in fact, the details were still similar. Jimmy Warner's best 250-meter acceleration, Warner Time, is one of the most important technical characteristics of the opponent's victory in the 400 meters.
But just as Jimmy Warner started to sprint, Ye Qin suddenly felt that his breathing gradually became a little thicker, his feet were heavy, and he couldn't keep up with the speed, not at all like he used to run 400 meters.
"It's a little hard to run!"
Ye Qin's heart is like a mirror, after running for several days in a row, especially after yesterday's 200-meter final, it is too late for him to fully recover to his best condition. Moreover, the difficulty and physical exertion of running 400 meters and 200 meters are not the same.
This is a situation of physical exhaustion, which has occurred when he first started to practice sports and has no idea how to run 400 meters, but in official competitions, such situations are still rare. In the World Junior Championships and the World Youth Championships, because of his technical characteristics and the level of the players, he didn't feel so difficult.
But after one game after another, Ye Qin's willpower has been trained enough to be tenacious enough that even if he feels a little tired physically, he will not really stop.
This is the venue for the men's 400m final of the World Athletics Championships!
Gritting his teeth, Ye Qin desperately squeezed the slightest physical strength hidden in his body, and desperately chased Jimmy Warner in front.
Corners into straights!
The cheers of the audience gradually became enthusiastic!
Jimmy Warner was the first to hit the straights, running at the front, and he was still widening the gap to the rest of the race, and his absolute strength was on full display at this moment.
He was followed by another American player, Andrew Luke, followed by Canada's Tyler Christopher and Britain's Timothy Benjamin in the first lane.
“…… Jimmy Warner ran to first place as he sprinted towards the finish line...... Ye Qin was a little exhausted and fell behind......"
The many spectators who squatted in front of the TV to watch the 400-meter final, after seeing the second corner, Ye Qin's speed suddenly dropped, and many people's hearts couldn't help but become anxious.
Mu Jiang is also the same at this moment, but he knows better that this situation is too normal, Ye Qin has run so many races in succession in such weather, and with his age and physical reserves, it is already rare for him to be able to run to such an extent.
In the final straight, the positions of all the competitors were still clear, and Yechin, who was leading in the 100-200m race in front, had fallen to the back of the team by this time, two positions behind the second-to-last American Darod Williamson.
At this time, Ye Qin also felt that his body was getting more and more tired, his chest and abdomen were burning, his breathing was short, and every step he took seemed to be extremely heavy, and he seemed to be running forward completely by inertia.
Some people can see that Ye Qin's physical fitness is not enough, and his speed cannot keep up at all.
"Hurry up! Speed up! Speed up! ”
But Ye Qin screamed wildly in his heart, his teeth were clenched, his eyes were wide open, and suddenly a little strength came out of nowhere, and the speed was really a little faster.
This is the final stage of his long-term 400m training sprint training, and his body instinctively gives him strength.
Seventy meters...... Sixty meters...... Fifty meters......
Mu Jiang's voice suddenly exclaimed: "...... Ye Chin, Ye Chin is accelerating! This is the final distance sprint he is best at, come on Ye Chin! Come on, Yechin! ”
In the field of vision of the audience and many TV sets, Ye Qin, who had already lagged behind at the end, suddenly increased his speed again.
Seventy meters, eighth!
Fifty meters, seventh!
Thirty meters, sixth!
The audience shouted loudly, many of them saw Ye Qin's performance when he won the men's 200m final yesterday, and at this moment they seemed to want to see a miracle happen again.
Twenty meters ......
10 meters ......
Ye Qin had already rushed to the last position and rushed to the fifth place, but it was too late to go any further!
Rush the line!
At the moment of crossing the finish line, Ye Qin almost trotted a few steps, and the whole person was directly soft to the ground!
His chest and abdomen rose and fell rapidly, his eyes were faintly black, and he didn't want to stand up at all.
The other runners around him had better symptoms than him, but there were also many people who squatted or sat on the track almost at the same time.
In the men's 400m final of the World Championships, every athlete is to perform to the maximum, which is also the reason why Ye Qin is not slow in front of him, but he feels extremely difficult to run.
43.93 seconds!
On the yellow timing board, Jimmy Warner, who crossed the finish line first, set a new personal best after winning the Olympic title last year with a time of 44 seconds! It is also the result of the men's 400m championship at this World Championships, 43.93 seconds!
