Chapter 544: Group AB Fights in the Air
One day after the end of the Golden League in Berlin, Ostrava, Czech Republic.
Yechin and his entourage, who had just arrived in Ostrava from Berlin, had just settled into the hotel arranged by the organizers, and soon received a big surprise news.
"Yousse Bot has come to Ostrava for the men's 100m." Chen Zhongzhou barely put down his luggage, pushed the door into Ye Qin's room, and handed over the latest list of athletes.
"Didn't you say he was almost ready for the Jamaican National Championships at this time?" Zhuang Wei, who also followed into Ye Qin's room and was about to give Ye Qin a simple leg muscle relaxation, asked a little puzzled.
"The Jamaican National Championships are not the US Championships after all, and with Yusse Bote's current strength, as long as he participates in a ticket to the World Championships, it will definitely be no problem, even if he does not participate in the Jamaica National Championships, he will definitely not be excluded from the Jamaican Athletics Association."
Chen Zhongzhou frowned, and said with a somewhat cold expression.
"Didn't the organizing committee inform us before?"
Ye Qin was taking out some of the clothes in the suitcase, and after listening to Chen Zhongzhou's words, he turned around and asked with some curiosity.
According to the general competition arrangement, basically the list of athletes participating in the competition is fixed very early in advance, of course, some star athletes may register according to their own schedule.
Basically, for this part of the appealing contestants, the organizers of the competition will turn on the green light and welcome them to participate at any time. Because of the presence of these top athletes, it is easy to fill a track and field competition with more topics, whether it is a stadium ticket or a televised broadcast. It can also greatly enhance the attractiveness of the event.
"I started to ask, but at that time, the organizing committee's answer was a little ambiguous, just saying that it was in contact, and the other party had not yet been decided. We were racing in Berlin for the past two days and I didn't pay much attention to that. ”
Chen Zhongzhou's tone was a little weaker, and he felt that he still had some inadequacies in coordinating with the organizers of various events.
"It's okay, then let's play in advance!"
Ye Qin was tidying up his clothes, stopped, seemed to think for a while, turned around and smiled, "Anyway, there are comparisons at the World Championships in Berlin, two months in advance, so it's good to see the level between each other." ”
"Then you don't have a chance."
Seeing Ye Qin's expression as usual, Chen Zhongzhou smiled, and then continued, "Without our consent, they don't dare to arrange for you and Yusse-Bot to face each other directly now. Besides, Yusse-Bot's economic team probably won't allow this to happen. ”
Both of them are world-class athletes, absolute top athletes who are really leaders in the men's 100 meters, and the topic and influence can be said to be the kind that makes the world look at it.
Now people have been looking forward to the meeting between Yechin and Yusse-Bot at the World Championships in Berlin, and it is possible that this time the Ostrava Grand Prix will be the focus of the world's attention, but for Yechin or Yusse-Both, it is actually a bit more than worth the loss.
Whoever wins or loses may affect some of the changes in each other's mentality at the World Championships in Berlin later on.
Chen Zhongzhou paused as he spoke, "The men's 100-meter race of the Ostrava Grand Prix is divided into two groups. You and Yousse-Bot are each in a team. ”
"Separately compared?"
Ye Qin raised his eyebrows slightly, he knew this way of playing.
In 2006, Jax Thelin had not yet been found to be taking illegal drugs, when Jax Thelin was the men's 100m champion at the 2004 Athens Olympics and the 2005 World Championships in Helsinki.
On the other hand, there is Asafavil, who broke the world record for Morris Green at the 2005 Athens Grand Prix, breaking the monopoly of American players in the event.
Since the beginning of 2006, the two have been full of gunpowder in various tournaments and media reports. Many Grand Prix and Golden League events have also contributed to the duel between the two in the men's 100m.
In the end, the two men competed in the same event in the men's 100m in Eugene '06, but Asafarville and Jax Thelin were in two different groups.
The situation of Ye Chin and Yusse Bott is somewhat similar to that of the two at that time, they are both the top men's 100m runners at the moment, and they have made waves in the world.
Unless it is a world-class competition, it is by no means so easy to achieve a strong dialogue between the two in an event.
However, this time the Ostrava Grand Prix has already had more influence than many previous editions.
……
Meanwhile, in another hotel room, Yousse Bot is sitting on a couch in his hotel suite, listening to his coach Glenn Mills and his analysis of tomorrow's game.
"Yousse, tomorrow you are in Group A, and now the eyes of the whole world are focused on you, waiting for you to challenge Ye Chin, are you ready?"
"Of course." Yusse-Bot smiled nonchalantly, picked up the remote control on the coffee table, and turned on the TV, "The little injury from my previous surgery is completely fine, but I just set a new 150m world record." ”
"Ye Qin just ran 9.75 seconds in the Golden League in Berlin, which is the best men's 100m time of the year, and you can't do too badly tomorrow."
Glenn Mills said with a faint smile, seemingly hesitating for a moment, and then continued, "But you don't have to go all out, you're not in a group, you just need to come up with a convincing result." ”
"Leave a little surprise?" Yusse Bott casually pressed the remote, turned up a few TV channels, and turned his head to wink at Glenn Mills.
"Didn't you already tell Ye Qin before that you were injured in a car accident and your condition is not very good?"
"Hahaha......" Usse Bot laughed, "that has been debunked, I knew I shouldn't have gone to that 150 street event in the UK." ”
Glenn Mills waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, it's not a regular game after all. The world record of 150 meters, replaced by Yechin, Asafavir, Jason Gaby, and others, can basically be broken. ”
The original 150m record was set by Michael Johnson in Atlanta in 1996 with 14.83 seconds, although the 150m was still a corner.
To break this world record, Glenn Mills just mentioned several people have the ability to do so. Especially on the straights, it's a little easier to run. Of course, it is hard to say whether the final result will be able to surpass Yusse-Both.
It's just that the 150m is not a regular competitive race, and Yusse Both's 150m world record of 14.35 seconds is eye-catching, but others may not necessarily use this to fully measure his current competitive form.
"I know what you mean, Coach." Yusse-Bot threw the remote control aside and lay on the soft sofa on his back, "I will beat Yechin at the World Championships and set a new world record, whether it is 100 meters or 200 meters." ”
"You'll be able to do it." Glenn Mills smiled and nodded, "I have absolute confidence in you. ”
This confidence does not come out of nowhere, but as a manager, he has been in charge of Usse Both's training and knows his form.
After last year's Olympics, Yusse Bot was naturally the number one superstar in Jamaica, but Yusse Bot didn't spend much time in nightclubs, but he still maintained a good training form.
In private, Usse Bot ran a few times, and Glenn Mills couldn't believe that it was the new limit of humanity.
It's just a pity that it was only a private race, not a big event, so I can't really take this result as a record.
……
June 17, Ostrava City Stadium.
More than 15,000 spectator seats were already filled, and more than 1,000 spectators were still patrolling outside the stadium, hoping to buy tickets for today's game from others or from some scalpers.
The annual Ostrava Grand Prix is no stranger to many people, and even most of the people of Ostrava have watched athletics and sporting events in the stadium.
However, the men's 100m race, in which the two fastest flyers will compete, is an extremely rare scene, and at least until the World Championships in Berlin, it is likely that everyone will not meet Ye Chin and Yusse Bot in a single event.
Even if they do, it should be extremely rare to have the opportunity to compete in a single event.
Although the Ostrava organizers failed to achieve a head-to-head duel between Yechin and Yusse Bot on the same track this time, this kind of AB group matchup is still very eye-catching.
Moreover, both Yechin and Yusse-Bot were no strangers to the people of Ostrava.
Last year's Ostrava Grand Prix saw a number of world records, the most important of which was where Yechin broke the world record with a time of 9.70 seconds.
And in that Grand Prix, Yousse Bot was watching from the audience, he had just broken the world record for Yechin at the New York Grand Prix, but unfortunately this record slipped out of his hand again before he could warm it up.
It was also one of the most talked about topics at the time.
This time, Yusse Bot did not choose the men's 200m event again, but chose the men's 100m event like Yechin, although the two are not in the same group, but there are enough highlights for such a competition.
At 17:05 p.m., the men's 100m race in Ostrava officially kicked off.
First of all, the eight athletes in the men's 100m A group took to the field, and when Yusse Bot stood on the fourth track, the crowd was already completely boiling.
Although Yusse Bot narrowly lost to Yechin in the men's 100m at last year's Olympics, he still has countless fans in the track and field world.
The birth of the men's 200m and 4×100m world records has already declared his absolute strength and status in the sprint event.
The European track and field competition in June this year may have been really influenced by the US Championships, and few of the top athletes from the United States came to participate.
In Group A, Usse Bot has just one American Marcus Brunson, the others are British's Kerry Pickering, France's Ronald Bonon and Martial Mbanchok, and several of them are in Berlin with Yechin.
After a gunshot, the entire arena suddenly boiled from the silence.
Yusse Bot got off to a decent start in this group of races, and with his height and size, as long as the starting reaction time was under 0.170 seconds, it was considered a good performance.
10 meters, 20 meters......
Yusse-Both's starting reflexes and first three steps were a little slower than the others, but soon, when the pace added up, combined with his huge stride, he soon caught up with the rest of the runners after 20 meters.
Thirty meters later, Yusse-Bot was already taking the lead, and by forty meters, Yusse-Bot was already extending that advantage once more.
Fifty meters later, there was basically no one to catch up with him, and Euse-Bot was getting faster and faster, like a black lightning bolt, speeding across the 100-meter runway.
The entire audience in the arena saw the performance of Yusse Both, and immediately broke out into bursts of fierce cheers and shouts, the sense of speed that starts from the same starting line and finally rides alone, especially can make people's adrenaline get a strong stimulation.
9.77 seconds!
When Yusse Bot crossed the finish line, the final result was in front of everyone.
Britain's Craig Pickering, who finished in second place, finished in 10.08 seconds, a difference of 0.3 seconds.
Running in 9.80 seconds again, Yusse Both, who was standing in the track and field arena, waved excitedly to the spectators on the sidelines, and even performed his trademark bow and moon shooting.
This imitation of basketball star Carter's celebration after a step-down dunk at the 2000 Slam Dunk Contest has become Eusy-Bot's signature celebration.
In the absence of a strong opponent, Yusse Bot ran a time of 9.77 seconds in this race, which hardly gave people the feeling of being too forced, and he completed it very easily, and finally crossed the finish line without bowing his head to cross the line, but crossed the finish line with his chest.
"Yusse Bote's state this year is not weaker than Ye Chin!"
In the stands of the spectators, many of them had watched Yechin's performance at the Berlin Golden League two days ago on TV before, and at this time everyone couldn't help but think like this in their minds.
It seems that although the final result is poor, the relaxed feeling can still make people clearly see the absolute level of the top 100m athletes.
Running 9.80 seconds two years ago was an extremely difficult thing for most athletes, and at that time only Asafavir could do this, and Asafavir also had to rely on his personal form to break through.
Two years later, the former world record has been set by Yechin and Yusse-Bott as if they were able to run out again and again.
However, the competition was not over yet, after the men's 100m group A runners left the field, the group B runners led by Ye Qin also appeared on the field.
This time, there was no huge cry on the field, not that the audience did not cheer for Ye Chin, but that everyone was a little nervous after experiencing the performance of Fang Usai Bote, looking forward to Ye Chin's performance.
In Ostrava, Yechin was actually more influential than Yusse Both, who set the world record of 9.70 seconds here last year, and although he broke it himself after the Olympics, the meeting record for this Grand Prix has not changed.
Yechin was also assigned to the fourth lane, and his group was not too different from Yusse Bote's Group A lineup, with the likes of Zimbabwe's Brian Dasingei, Italy's Paul Hesse, Jamaica's Mario Forsyth and Xavier Brown, and Britain's Mark Lewis Francis and Christian Malcolm in the UK.
After the completion of the men's 100m group A race, Ye Qin did not know how many runs Yusse Bot had, but basically he could probably guess that as long as Yusai Bot did not make any foul moves, basically the champion of Group A would definitely be the opponent.
After a gunshot, the eight runners in the men's 100m in Group B also rushed out of the starting line.
Ye Qin's current starting reaction is very fast, basically he has not been led by others since the start, and after accelerating more than ten meters, he gradually ran to the front of the team.
Twenty meters later, the crowd on the sidelines could clearly see Yechin's lead.
Thirty or forty meters later, like Yusse Bot in the previous race, Ye Qin quickly asked the other competitors and began to gradually open up the gap with the others.
In the audience, which was still a little silent in front, after seeing Ye Qin start to accelerate and take the lead, almost all the audience instantly shouted loudly.
50 meters, 60 meters, 70 meters......
Ye Qin ran faster and faster, and in the eyes of the audience who had just watched the previous group of Yusse-Bot matches, Ye Qin seemed to be faster than the previous Yusse-Bot game.
Although Yousse Bot pulled the opponent behind him away, in the naked eye, it didn't seem to be as exaggerated as Yechin.
Eighty meters, ninety meters, getting closer and closer to the finish line.
Ye Qin is outstanding, in the live broadcast footage, Ye Qin has appeared completely alone, and he can't see anyone else following.
Rush the line!
The yellow timing board shows the first runner to cross the finish line in the men's 100m - 9.78 seconds!
The spectators in the arena were stunned for a moment, as if they thought that Ye Qin crossed the finish line so quickly, and his results should be faster than that of the talented Yusse Bote.
But soon the results of the other runners in the second group of men's 100m will come out, and everyone will be able to understand.
In Group A, the second and third finishers clocked 10.08 and 10.15 seconds, while in Yechin's Group B, the second and third places were both in 10.24 seconds.
Although the overall level of the players in the two groups is similar, the performance in this group of competitions is completely different.
This also leads to the fact that in the process of watching the game, the speed of Ye Qin may be faster!
Even so, Yechin and Yusse-Bot were only a hundredth of a second apart, and it was clear that neither of them had done their best, and both looked quite relaxed after the run.
Ye Qin is also quite satisfied with the results of this group, after all, he just went from Germany to the Czech Republic yesterday, although the difference between the two places is not far away, but it still has some impact.
Moreover, in this group of games, there is no competition from opponents, basically from the pre-game to the whole person during the game, the whole person is not particularly stressed, and the next few steps to cross the line are even a little lax.
And after this match, the results of the two in the game spread around the world almost instantly.
Under the guidance of the IAAF and some intentional or unintentional media, the upcoming World Championships in Berlin continue to add more heat.
