Chapter 105: 400m Final (Part I)

Syllable!

In front of the men's 400-meter starting line, the crisp race gun sounded!

In the arena, where the players were seated and quiet for a short time, although there were only more than 1,000 spectators in the more than 3,000 stand seats, there was a sudden burst of enthusiasm at this moment, and various shouts rang out at the same time.

At the moment of rushing out of the runway, Ye Qin felt that his starting power was very good.

The 400m is not a high start, but he clearly felt that his starting reaction was good, at least, not better than the start of the 200m heats in the morning.

At the same moment, the starting reaction value next to the starting line also jumped out clearly.

0.203 seconds!

It's the 400m final, though!

All the players showed their best form and reactions!

Yechin had the third-to-last starting reflexes, just ahead of Poland in lane 1 and Croatia in lane 4, with their starting reflexes of 0.225 seconds and 0.284 seconds respectively, while the other five runners all started within 0.2 seconds.

Get started, accelerate!

The 400m race has just begun!

From the start, Ye Qin felt that the rhythm was completely different from that of the preliminaries and semifinals.

He was in lane six, and the American Satoli Guman in lane seven was his opponent in the first heats.

After the start, the opponent instantly reflected the super high level of the athletes sent out by a track and field powerhouse, whether it was from the starting reaction or acceleration.

Start fast, accelerate fast!

Although Ye Qin has begun to adjust his pace of play since the semi-finals, appropriately increasing the pace of the first half, Ye Qin still feels the gap.

The opponent ran much fiercer and fiercer than in the preliminaries, and was struggling to accelerate and distance himself from him.

Behind him in lane 5 is Namibia's Frank Presa, who played in both the 400m semi-finals and the 200m heats, and Lane 7, like Sateri Guman, who is black.

After the start, the rapid start and acceleration, followed by the sound of fast footsteps, all brought Ye Qin great pressure.

50 meters, 60 meters, 70 meters......

Entering the high-speed link on the way, Ye Qin has been accelerating rapidly, and he is also desperately controlling his rhythm.

The rhythm of being led by others is often at this stage, when other players suddenly exert and accelerate rapidly, and if they can't control it, it is easy to start rushing with the maximum absolute speed.

This is not 200 meters, as long as you increase the speed, you can choose to run to the finish line at maximum speed, and finally everyone will compete to see who has the best speed retention ability.

It's 400 meters, and you need to allocate your speed and physical strength appropriately.

Ninety meters, one hundred meters......

The first corner goes into the straight.

Yechin kept his big stride and quick arm swing, and he couldn't see the other competitors behind him, but in this know, he had spotted the sixth lane of Sadley Guman, and the American was far more powerful than he had shown in the preliminaries.

With a strong first half of the race, at this time, Sateri Good was already standing out in the opposite position. On the straight, he almost caught up with Trinidad and Tobago's Jamil James in lane eight.

This kind of difference of six or seven meters due to the number of stretches before the start is basically smoothed out by the runners in the second corner, but now the opponent has caught up at this stage.

The footsteps behind him and the sense of oppression became clearer and clearer, although Ye Qin did not turn his head or look at it from the corner of his eye, but the position of the players who were relatively close to him during the running process was still very clear.

On the sidelines, the temporary cheerleading team organized by the Chinese team was cheering for Ye Qin loudly at the moment, and in some noisy arenas, their voices were not loud, but the sudden shouts of more than a dozen or twenty people in unison could still attract people's attention.

The head of the group, Ye Lidong, and the team leader, Zhou Bin, did not cheer loudly at this moment, and both of them stared intently at Ye Qin's running.

"The first 200 meters are faster than the previous preliminaries and semi-finals!"

The runners on the field ran hard, and the movements flashed by, and they had reached the stage of entering the straight into the corner, and they immediately finished the halfway course and entered the second corner.

Team leader Zhou Bin frowned tightly at the moment, and there was a worried look on his face.

Ye Qinqiang is in the second half, his ability in the second half of the race, Zhou Bin has seen it many times, the ability to maintain speed is very good, and even in the last few tens of meters of the finish line, he can still sprint.

This is Ye Qin's advantage, but in this trip, Ye Qin didn't know whether it was because of the finals or the stimulation of other players, and he ran a lot faster in the first half of the race. Although Ye Chin's speed in the first 200 meters of the field still ranked in the bottom few places, a longitudinal comparison of Ye Chin's own performance showed that he still ran a little faster in the first half of the race.

Zhou Bin can also understand that this is also something that cannot be avoided. In the final of the 400m World Junior Championships, many players will really show their full strength, whether it is the first half or the second half, the speed will be released!

But the consequence of Ye Qin's running like this is that he will not be left behind by other runners in the first half of the race, but it is likely that he will not have enough physical strength to sprint at the last distance.

However, he is still waiting, waiting for the second half of Ye Chin's play.

Ye Lidong, the leader of the narrator, is also waiting, this young athlete of his own family, his performance all the way is amazing enough, he wants to see if this crucial final, whether it is as he showed, from his own mentality or personal state has stabilized.

The mentality of athletes before the competition, whether they are nervous or relaxed, the last thing to look at is the results. Good results, pre-game tension can be regarded as appropriate tension to help the mental concentration of the game, poor results are excessive tension that affects the performance. If you have good results and relax before the game, you can say that you have a good mentality and are relaxed, and if you have poor results, it may be that you are not focused enough, too relaxed, and you don't pay enough attention to the game.

There are a thousand ways to say it, but in track and field, it is ultimately the athlete's performance that is all about it.

In the second corner, almost two steps before entering the corner, Ye Qin had completely adjusted his center of gravity.

He was running faster than usual in the first 200 metres, and he was well aware of that, and there was a factor in being driven by Sateri Gumman in lane eight, but more often than not, he wanted to fight for it.

His pace was still very good, not chaotic, but not too far ahead of the other players.

Of the eight contestants, five were black teenage athletes from various countries, two white teenage athletes from Poland and Russia, and then there was him, a yellow athlete.

In fact, there was a Korean player who had a very good semi-final result, but unfortunately the opponent's score was slightly worse and he failed to enter the final round.

At this point, although Yechin had improved his speed in the first half of the race, a few points faster than his 400m semi-final, he was only faster than the two white runners from Russia and Poland.

Ye Qin's cornering skills are not bad, especially after Nie Fangping's guidance, his skills have improved a lot in adjusting the center of gravity and accelerating, and in the 250-meter corner, he often begins to surpass other competitors.

But in the final, he felt like he did a good job in the corners, but he didn't get too far away from the rest of the race.

With the exception of two white fighters, the other five black competitors have barely changed much from his relative distance.

The footsteps sounded quickly, crackling like firecrackers.

In the second corner, the runners quickly ran to the end.

Corners into straights!
