Chapter Ninety-Five: The World Junior Championships Debut (Part II)
Ye Qin looked at the runners in front of him, although he had been running at his own pace, he was still a little surprised in his heart.
In the previous Municipal High School Games and the Provincial Youth Track and Field Championships, his current speed, not to mention running to the first position, but basically in the top three, will definitely not fall behind.
And in this World Junior Championships, all the best 400m athletes in this age group came, and his speed in the first half of the race was a little slow. Especially the American player in the third lane next to him, although the starting reaction is much slower than him, the strong speed and explosive ability of this black athlete has smoothed the gap in the start, not only opened the gap with Ye Qin in the second lane, but even caught up with the Canadian player in the fourth lane.
Ye Qin maintained his speed and did not rush rashly, and now he was still far from the final victory of the decisive victory.
Besides, he himself knows that his speed is not particularly slow, but the opponents are quite strong in the first half of the game, and it seems that he is much worse in comparison.
However, he is well aware that he is about to finish half of the 200 meters, and many competitors will not be able to maintain their speed.
Straight into the corner!
Ye Qin stared ahead, and began to adjust his center of gravity in the first two steps before entering the corner.
This is an important point in the 400-meter run.
The 200-meter run has only one corner, which is at the starting stage, while the track events above the 400-meter distance, except for the marathon, have a straight path into the corner.
At this stage, it can be said that it is the most difficult to adjust the center of gravity, to have speed, and to maintain speed.
"Good!"
In the stands, team leader Zhou Bin suddenly jumped up.
After entering the second corner, he could already see that Ye Qin's speed had not decreased at all, and with the adjustment of the center of gravity of the corner, Ye Qin seemed to be running faster than other competitors whose speed had declined to varying degrees.
In the sound of puff footsteps, the noise of cheering and cheering is even louder!
In particular, many of the spectators at the scene were coaches from various countries, and some of them had already keenly noticed the unusualness of the teenager in the red sprint suit in the second one.
Among young athletes, even talented athletes are difficult to stabilize their speed at this stage, especially in the last 150 meters, almost all of them will have some speed drop to varying degrees.
And the yellow boy in the red sprint suit, at this stage, is quickly catching up with the other runners, although limited by the perspective of the corner, there is no way to determine what position he is in now, but the top three must be there.
Sure enough, the last corner went into the straight.
Seven competitors pulled from the diagonal line of the corner to the horizontal position.
The front and back positions of all people are clear at a glance.
In first place was the slowest American runner from the start, Sateri Guman, a black athlete who inherited the American team's dominance in the 400 meters, and ran the first 300 meters extremely well, occupying the first position.
Behind him is Britain's Nick Cretty in the sixth lane, who is one position behind Sateri Guman of the United States and is biting closely.
In third place, it is ...... Chinese player, Ye Qin!
The first two hundred meters were almost in the last position, but after the second corner, Ye Qin ran to the third and was rapidly approaching the two!
"Ye Chin, come on!"
"Ye Chin, come on!"
When the Chinese delegation in the stands saw Ye Qin's performance at this moment, everyone stood up and roared with great excitement. Judging by the emotions and expressions, if it weren't for the baffle under the stands, these people would almost have to rush into the track side of the track and field to cheer Ye Qin on!
The cheering sound from the stands was no longer heard by Ye Qin at this moment.
His sights were only on the finish line...... And the opponent who is ahead of him!
The last fifty meters.
In the third lane, American Sateri Guman has opened up a gap with Great Britain's Nick Clayty.
In the United States, where the 400m is the strongest, his level is nothing, but among all American teenagers of the same age, except for a few perverted accidents who did not come to the competition, he is also the number one in the ranking.
In this 400-meter preliminaries, he ran very relaxed, and even paid little attention at the start, and then accelerated a little hard, and easily ran to the first place.
Behind him, Britain's Nick Cretty only stabilized himself at this time, and the gap between him and the American Sateri Guman in front of him was not too big. but
This is the preliminary round, as long as you can advance to the finals, you don't need to fight hard.
Everyone is practicing 400 meters, and when they run to this time, they are very clear to each other, the accumulation of a large amount of lactic acid in the body, muscle soreness and pain, breathing like fire, almost to the stage of exhaustion.
But it was at this moment that the third Saderi-Guman suddenly felt someone behind him catch up quickly.
"Is it the German of the first way?"
Because of the oxygen supply, Sateri Guman's mind instantly came to mind the first German player Nicholas Pace, although it was the World Junior Championships, he paid attention to his players in the same group, and it should be the German who could sprint to catch up at this time.
The white runner didn't do well in the 1200m, but in the 400m, Sateri Gumman knew that there was a pervert who was now sought after by the whole country.
Pressed by the opponent behind him, Sateri Guman did not dare to continue carelessly, and also began the final acceleration sprint!
This is the case in the sprint event, and although he wants to put it a little bit, he can't fully relax until he crosses the finish line without qualifying for the qualification steadily.
But the footsteps behind him were closer, and out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the other party's figure.
Not the first, but the second next to him!
That yellow man!
In an instant, the American Sateri Guman in the third lane didn't have time to scold and vent, gritted his teeth and rushed again with all his might.
But in track and field competitions, such a distance, as long as the opponent surpasses him, it is almost impossible to catch up again.
It's not a long-distance run, you can chase me and do a tug-of-war.
In his gaze, the red figure was one step ahead of him.
When he was only fifty meters away from the finish line, Ye Qin began to accelerate and sprint!
His feeling is clear, it is a world-class race, and in the past his current pace has basically established an early advantage, but on the international stage, he is only third.
From the start to the present, Ye Qin didn't have too many thoughts in his mind, and he didn't think about whether he could advance to the semifinals, whether the 400-meter was just a round of travel, and whether he would lose face.
As long as he starts running, all he wants is to win, and he wants to be the first to cross the finish line.
The black American in the third lane, from the beginning of the game to the present, Ye Qin has completely felt the strength of the other party!
It seems that it is the feeling of running casually without much force, and it is easy to get to the first position.
And the opponent's speed is still very good at this distance!
It's the first time he's met an opponent like this, but there's still a chance!
Ye Qin suddenly began to accelerate and sprint with all his strength, and the strong discomfort brought by his body was completely suppressed.
Forty meters, thirty meters, twenty meters......
The moment Ye Qin passed past the American player in the third lane, there was almost a burst of exclamations on the sidelines.
No one thought that the yellow boy in the red sprint suit was still behind at the beginning, but in the final stage, he actually completed the lore.
And before everyone's exclamations fell, Ye Qin had already leaned over and bowed his head and crossed the finish line!
On the yellow timing board at the scene, huge electronic numbers appeared in front of everyone!
48.07 seconds!
