Gainesville, Florida.

Compared to other Florida cities, Gainesville has a more pleasant weather in April, with less precipitation, with daytime highs around 26 degrees Celsius and nighttime lows around 13 degrees Celsius. It can be said that it is in the best time of the year.

The city of Gainesville has an excellent green area with a dense canopy and a rich variety of species, including broadleaf evergreens, conifers and deciduous species. The city has been recognized as an "American Tree City" by the National Arbor Day Foundation every year since 1982.

Gainesville is also home to the University of Florida and Santa Fe College, one of the main drivers of local finance, contributing nearly $9 billion annually to Florida's economy and responsible for more than 100,000 jobs.

The University of Florida is not only academically competitive in the United States and around the world, but also excels in athletics.

In addition to football and basketball, in track and field, the University of Florida intercollegiate athletic team, known as the "Florida Gators." The Florida Gators have won a total of 35 national team titles, 30 of which have come in NCAA tournaments. Florida Gator athletes have also won 267 NCAA championships in individual sporting events.

In 1930, during the Great Depression, the University of Florida built Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville, which initially had 22,000 seats and was expanded several times to become the largest stadium in Florida, the twelfth largest football stadium in the United States and the eighth largest in the world. Spectator seats can reach up to 80,000 and are permanently operated by the University of Florida Athletic Association.

On April 17, 2010, many of the spectator seats at the bottom of Benshire Griffin Stadium were evacuated, revealing an orange track and field track that was hidden inside, and an athletics event was in full swing.

Compared with sports competitions such as football, baseball, and basketball, the influence of track and field events in the United States is not particularly prominent, but the perfect competition mechanism and talent selection still attract the attention of many track and field enthusiasts.

Today's track and field event at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium is a Florida regional event, but even so, it drew more than 30,000 spectators to the stadium.

And among the 30,000 spectators, almost half of them came for a name.

……

"I don't think it's a good idea, you're different after all!"

In Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, Jon Drummond looked at Jason Gaby, who was stretching in place with his spikes on, and his brow furrowed.

"Jason, you're the best athlete in the men's 100m and 200m, you've set a national record in the 100m, and I think if you put all your focus on the men's 100m, you're going to be even more competitive."

"Can you win Yusse Both, or can you win Yechin? Or do I have a chance to break a world record? ”

Jason Gaby leaned over and pressed his leg and replied without looking up, "Jon, I'm twenty-seven years old, and I hope to be able to improve to be more successful." ”

"But you have to admit it." Jon Drummond was not in the slightest impressed by the other party's words, "100 meters and 200 meters, and 400 meters are different after all. You have been training for a long time in the 400m, and if you put it in the 100m, you may be able to improve your results even further. ”

"Jason, you've lost the resolve to compete with the best, last year's World Championships made you scared!"

Jon Drummond looked solemnly at the young man in front of him, he had been working with the other party for almost three years since he was in '07, and he watched this young man improve by leaps and bounds, from a good sprinter to a super-first-class sprinter.

But now, there seems to be a bit of twilight on the other party. This twilight came from his age, and it also came from the two opponents in his heart who had already admitted that he could not defeat.

"Alright, Jon!"

Lance-Brauman, who was on the side, saw that the two seemed to be about to have a fight, so he hurriedly walked out of it and said, "Jon, let him try it." If he hadn't tried it with all his might, I don't think he would have been reconciled. ”

As he spoke, Lance Blauman set his eyes on Jason Gaby, who bowed his head and was silent, he knew that this disciple of his, the other party was not that kind of aggressive character, but he had his own opinions, and he made up his mind to do something, and he would not be influenced and disturbed by others.

"Jason, you've been preparing and trying the men's 400m event for almost half a year since the end of last season, and the two of us are coaches you hired to guide and help you what you want to try. But we don't want you to focus on 400 meters.

There is only one Michael Johnson in this world, and there is only one Yechin! Just because they can do it doesn't mean everyone else can do it. ”

Lance-Blaumann paused again, "But I'm still in favor!" Support you to try! Whether you're facing Yechin and Yusse Bot and they've lost their motivation to compete, I think you should know better.

Alright, that's not much to say, Jason, get ready to play! ”

Jason Gayweight nodded heavily, and instead of looking at the faces of his two coaches, he took a deep breath and walked towards the entrance of the many check-ins.

When Jason Gaby appeared at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, the stadium erupted in huge cheers and applause.

This is the current first men's sprinter in the United States, and even though he has lost to Yechin and Yusse Bot at the World Championships and Olympics, he is still the best sprinter in the United States at the moment.

He has run under 9.80 seconds many times, and even run under 9.70 seconds, and there is no doubt that he is a super-first-class sprinter.

And with the rise of the two super sprinters, Yechin and Eusy-Bot, as one of the few sprinters who can compete with the two, Jason Gaby's influence is also extraordinary.

Jason Gaby has never been left behind in the men's 100m at the National Outdoor Championships in recent years, and he may not be as good as Carl Lewis and Maurice Green in terms of personal honors, but he feels that he has surpassed these two in the men's 100m.

Jason Gaby stood in front of the starting line with his hands raised high and his index finger pointing to the sky, his trademark move.

When this action appeared, many people in the audience also made this gesture.

First!

I'm number one!

That's what this gesture is about!

It's just that this track and field competition, as Jason Gaby's first race of the new season, is not the men's 100m or 200m event in front of a large audience.

Rather, 400 meters......

Standing at the starting line, Jason Gaby's heart was on the rise, and he was no stranger to Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, having been there many times since his university days.

Later, after settling in Florida, he also brought his family to the stadium to watch many football games.

Only, standing in front of this stadium again, the words of Jon Drummond and Lance Brauman kept echoing in his mind.

"Am I really afraid to compete head-on with Yechin and Yusse Both?"

"No, I never have!"

"I just want to try the men's 400m event, Ye Qin can break the world record in the 400m event and win the Olympic gold medal and the World Championships, and I have the same chance."

"I don't believe I can't compete with them in the men's 100m and 200m, and that's the case in the men's 400m."

"It's an attempt and I want to see what I can do in the men's 400m with all my might. However, this never meant giving up the men's 100m and 200m. ”

"Especially in the men's 100m, I will continue to challenge them, again and again, and there will be times when they win."

Jason Gaby was thrilled with cheers and shouts from the sidelines, and he felt his blood seem to be boiling.

There weren't many top athletes in the U.S. in the men's 400m, at least Shaun Merritt and Jimmy Warner.

It's just that the University of Florida itself is a strong team in track and field, and it is an area where a large number of blacks gather, and there are many excellent athletes who practice sprinting and track and field.

Even some of the top track and field athletes on the Florida Gators have been able to qualify at the World Championships and Olympics.

However, these athletes are not important to Jason Gaby, who just needs a race to test the effectiveness of his training in the men's 400m in winter training.

“On your marks!”

A command to take place sounded in the stadium.

Jason Gaby took a light breath and slowly stepped onto the runner, leaning over and waiting for the gunshots to be fired from the race.

“SET！”

Syllable!

The guns of the game rang out instantly.

Jason Gaby swung his arms sharply, stomped his feet on the runner, and rushed out of the starting line at a rapid pace.

30 meters, 50 meters, 80 meters......

With such a strong start and acceleration from Jason Gaby, many athletes in the other passes quickly felt the pressure.

For these people, being able to compete against Jason Gaby is also an extremely valuable experience, and some athletes who practice 400m can achieve between 45 and 46 seconds.

In their minds, if it was the men's 100m and 200m, it would definitely not be Jason Gaby's opponent, but in the 400m.

Perhaps, they still have a chance.

However, after the race progressed to 200 meters, everyone found out that it was a delusion.

Jason Gaby after the 200m is still very fast, although it is much slower than the 200m in front of him, but it is still unattainable for other runners.

The audience at the scene was already cheering loudly and boiling.

They know the name of the world's number one sprinter, Ye Chin, a strangely pronounced name in English, who single-handedly holds the men's 100m, 200m and 400m world records.

And Jason Gaby, although inferior in the first two races, is now starting to challenge for the 400m.

25 meters, 300 meters, 350 meters......

Jason Gaby has bruises on his forehead and his face twitches and twists violently, but his body and limbs are still running at high speed and smoothly towards the finish line.

The other players in the same group as him have already been left behind by him.

Now, he only has the finish line in sight.

Rush the line!

44.89 seconds!

The audience exclaimed almost instantly!

Not all of the people who came to the stadium to watch Jason Gaby play were athleticly blind, and many knew a lot about the game.

The moment the results came out, the eyes of everyone present flashed rapidly, and then they came to a conclusion.

Jason Gaby became the second athlete ever to run 10 seconds in the men's 100m, 20 seconds in the 200m and 45 seconds in the 400m.

10 seconds, 20 seconds and 45 seconds correspond to a threshold for these three events, which can be crossed in the past, even if they enter the ranks of top athletes.

Only Yechin has been able to do this before, and even Yusse Bot is currently unable to run this time in the men's 400m, and he has become the second.

Jon Drummond and Lance Brauman on the sidelines both looked a little complicated after the results appeared.

They all want Jason Gaby to focus more of his experience on the men's 100m and 200m events, and continue to look for breakthroughs, and even if he is slightly inferior to Yechin and Yusse Bot in athletics, as long as he has a consistent performance, he may not be without a chance to win.

Jason Gaby watched from the finish line, and compared to last year's 45.57 seconds, his 44.89 seconds was a huge improvement.

It's just that...... He was still not satisfied.

Jason Gaby, standing in front of the finish line, showed a rare faint smile on his serious face, and then waved to the audience.

At the exit of the arena, his two coaches were already waiting there.

Jason Gaby stepped forward and hugged the two gently, and after the game, he had silently dispelled those thoughts in his heart.

A month later.

At the Big City Games in Manchester, England, Jason Gaby broke Tommy Smith's meeting record of 19.50 seconds in the 200m straight with a time of 19.41 seconds.

On July 10, 2010, at the Gateshead Grand Prix in Great Britain, Jason Gaby defeated Asafavil in 9.93 seconds.

On August 6, 2010, at the Stockholm Diamond League, Jason Gaby beat Yusse Bot in 9.97 seconds with a time of 9.84 seconds.

A week later, on 13 August, Usse Bot and Al-Azafavir were both injured and missed the London Diamond League. Jason Gaby has only one opponent, Yechin.

In the end, in this men's 100m, Jason Gaby defeated Yechin's 9.91 seconds with a time of 9.78 seconds!

It was the first time since the rise of Yechin at the 2007 World Championships in Osaka that he had lost to another opponent in the head-to-head men's 100m final, something that even Yusse Bot could not do.

After the game, Jason Gaby admitted that Yechin was not 100 per cent and he was looking forward to facing Yechin, who is in excellent form.

Later, at the Diamond League in Brussels, Jason Gaby won the men's 100m again with a time of 9.79 seconds, becoming the first athlete to win the men's 100m Diamond League trophy.

It was Jason Gaby's best year in form, a year in which Jason Gaby defeated the rising Yusse Bot and Yechin, and although he modestly stated that neither Yechin nor Yuser Bot were at their best, no one could deny his performance in the men's sprint event in 2010.

The only pity is that this year, there are no World Championships and Olympics.
