August 20, the sixth day of the 2008 Yenching Olympic Games.

Reports in the media about Ye Chin's misstart in the men's 200m event and Ye Chin's breaking Michael Johnson's men's 400m world record have been overwhelming in the media at home and abroad.

In particular, on the night of August 20, Yusse Bot finally broke Michael Johnson's men's 200m world record in the men's 200m event with a time of 19.30 seconds, and the discussion about the 200m duel between Yechin and Yusse Bot made waves again.

There are discussions, there are those who admire, and there are those who regret it, but no matter how people look at it, it is inevitable that it will happen, and the game after game in the Bird's Nest Stadium continues.

After winning the championship after the race, Euse Bot said in an interview with the media that he regretted that he could not compete with Yechin in the 200m final, and at the same time expressed regret that another American athlete, Jason Gaby, did not participate in the 200m race.

Ye Chin and Jason Gaby were both strong opponents at the 2007 World Championships in Osaka, but for various reasons, they were not able to appear in the track and field arena at this Olympics, which is also a matter of regret for the majority of track and field fans.

The more important the project is and the more attention is paid to it, the more people want to see not the players "seeking defeat alone", but a number of world-class players, competing with each other, breaking the record and breaking the limits of the human body.

At this time, Ye Qin, who was at the center of the turmoil, did not show his head in the media, and the Chinese people were excited enough that Ye Qin had now won the men's 100-meter championship, and after breaking the world record in the 400-meter semi-finals, he focused all his attention on the final.

At the same time, what also attracted widespread attention was Liu Yangyu's smooth promotion in the semifinals, and the various injuries rumored before the game affected the state, and finally Liu Yangyu was successfully promoted in the semifinals of the men's 110-meter hurdles on the 20th.

August 21.

For the Chinese audience, it should be regarded as the most important day of the Olympic Games.

The men's 400m final starts at 21:20 and the men's 110m hurdles will take place at 21:40.

For these two games, the audience is now looking forward to the most.

Although Ye Qin still has a relay event, it is obvious that there is still an obvious gap between the Chinese team in the relay lineup and the Jamaican team and the United States.

As for whether Liu Yangyu can beat Dai Long Robles, who broke his world record, and win the championship at the Bird's Nest Stadium, it is also the most suspenseful match.

However, before the men's 400m final and the men's 110m hurdles final, Ye Qin himself has one more game that he cannot miss - the men's 4×100m relay heats at 20:20 in the evening.

At 20:20 in the evening, the men's 4×100m relay preliminaries officially began, and the first group of eight relay teams were Trinidad and Tobago, Japan, the Netherlands, Brazil, Nigeria, Poland, the United States, and South Africa.

As soon as the game began, Trinidad and Tobago's No. 1 player, Keston Bedman, ran to make the game restart.

After the restart, the U.S. team showed great strength, leading Trinidad and Tobago and Japan in the first three bats.

However, the audience and the audience in front of the TV felt that the U.S. team was doing well this time and was likely to face Jamaica in the final.

The accident happened again.

Jason Gaby, who ran fourth, and Davis Barton, who ran third, made a serious mistake in handing over the baton and couldn't complete the baton handover.

The voice of Mu Jiang, the on-site commentator, was full of an indescribable sigh and regret at this moment: "...... Alas...... Just finished praising the U.S. team...... Why did Jason Gaby run the fourth bat, he didn't run the fourth, the American was already dizzy. Take his start and accelerate...... He didn't run the fourth ......."

At the same time, in this group of 4×100m heats, Nigeria, Poland and South Africa also made serious baton handover mistakes in the last stick.

Of the eight teams that finished in the competition, only Trinidad and Tobago, Japan, the Netherlands and Brazil finished in the top four.

The final performance of the men's 4×100m preliminaries allowed everyone to see the changing side of the track and field again.

With the performance of the first three bats of the US team, as long as Jason Gaby receives the baton smoothly, there is no doubt that he will win the group. As a result, they made mistakes in the baton handover, and in the other teams, the last three or four baton handovers also went smoothly.

Just as the first group of preliminaries of the 4×100m was underway, in the check-in area of the Bird's Nest Stadium, the players of the second group of eight teams were lining up to prepare.

Among the many athletes waiting to play, Ye Qin and Yusse stood at the back of the team, talking in low voices.

"Yusai, I watched yesterday's game, your strength has improved too much this year!"

Yusse-Bot grinned and patted Ye Qin lightly on the shoulder, "Hey, man, you're mocking me. How fast am I progressing? No, no, you're progressing faster! ”

"But you're the one who won the championship, didn't you?" Ye Qin shook his head slightly.

"You were an accident." Yusse-Bot smiled, "It's just a shame I didn't get to play you in the 200m. ”

As he spoke, he said very seriously: "Competing against an opponent who is about the same speed as you are, that feeling is more fascinating than winning the championship. ”

"Yes, indeed!"

Although the 200-meter champion was produced yesterday, Ye Qin still has some pimples in his heart about missing the men's 200-meter final.

It's a project he's good at, and playing against a master like Yusse Bot who is about the same strength as himself, that kind of total dedication, and high level of mental concentration, is more exciting and engrossed than any other game.

"You've got the 400m championship left, Ye, you're already the greatest athlete, and in my heart you're ahead of Michael Johnson."

Yusse-Bot saw some of Yechin's regretful looks, and continued to liven up the atmosphere with a joke.

"You're also number one in my heart." Ye Qin replied with a smile.

While the two were talking and laughing, the time was approaching, and the runners in the second group of the men's 4×100m preliminaries were ready to enter the field.

Yusse Bot didn't follow suit, and he didn't play in the 4×100m heats, as Jamaica's current squad lacked the difficulty of qualifying for the final.

When Ye Qin entered the stadium, he obviously felt that the running track on the ground was a little slippery, and the weather today was a little different from the previous days, it was raining, and the air was a little more humid.

Compared with the dry and stuffy conditions of the previous days, the stadium after the rain made people feel a lot more comfortable.

The eight participating teams are Jamaica, Canada, Germany, Italy, China, Thailand, France and the United Kingdom.

After the four athletes of the Chinese relay team appeared on the stage, the applause and cheers in the entire Bird's Nest stadium shook the sky, and many people could hear the frenzied shouts on the viaduct and road outside the stadium.

Men's 4×100m Relay At last year's World Championships in Osaka, Ye Qin did not participate in the first group of preliminaries, when his competition schedule was very tight, and the final of the 200m and 400m before the final heats.

According to his original schedule, this year's Olympics is actually very tense.

Yuan Guohua talked to him about this before the game, that is, the Olympic relay team faces a greater challenge, and if Ye Qin is not in the fourth base, it is likely that the Chinese team will not be able to qualify and advance to the final.

On the one hand, Ye Qin's current strength is strong, and on the other hand, Ye Qin can give strong confidence to the other Chinese relay team players.

A fourth stick with him and a fourth stick without him are two different things.

According to the original plan, Ye Qin's competition intensity in the past few days will be the highest, and his body will also face fatigue and other problems.

It's just that the current situation, although it will be the 400m final in an hour, he has run two less shots of 200 meters, and there is not much problem in terms of physical reserves.

As the competitors entered the arena and measured their steps, the time for the race was approaching, and the first runner of the eight relay teams was ready to race.

After a gunshot, the eight players in the first baton had just started when the recall gunfire rang out again.

The second group of preliminaries is once again rushed!

It was the Italian team that took the lead, and the referee on the sidelines gave a yellow card warning!

After the second gunshot, the game starts again!

This time the race went smoothly, Su Bingtian's first start was very crisp, and there were no particularly big mistakes, and the baton handover between him and Zhang Peimeng was also relatively smooth, although there was a gap between the Jamaican team and the British team in terms of absolute strength, but the strength shown by both of them now can be called the top level in Asia.

Then the handover of Zhang Peimeng and Yang Yao's two and three bats also went smoothly, and the first three of the Chinese team were very clear that their first goal was to complete the handover smoothly and not make mistakes.

The last three or four sticks are handed over.

Ye Qin waited quietly near the finish line, and as the third-pole runner sped down the corner, he deliberately controlled his start and reflexes.

He was very familiar with Yang Yao's training cooperation, and when he saw Yang Yao enter the step position, he began to start and accelerate.

The top spot in the group was undoubtedly won by Jamaica, and although Yusse Bot did not appear, the performance of Jamaica's fourth-place team Asafavil was enough to secure the title.

The Chinese team won the second place in the group, and the first three Chinese athletes actually ran very well, and when the three and four sticks were handed over, the Chinese team was weaker than the Jamaican team and the British team, but still ran to the third position.

And after the British team's three or four baton handovers were wrong, Yechin's fourth baton just followed Asafavil to cross the finish line.

In the end, the Chinese team won the second place in the group with a time of 38.51 seconds and successfully advanced to the finals.

Amid the cheers of the audience, Ye Qin and the other three relay team members walked out of the field together, Yang Yao, Zhang Peimeng and Su Bingtian and others could relax for the time being, while Ye Qin needed to adjust and rest, waiting for the men's 400m final an hour later.
