Chapter 552: Paris Station
Paris, France.
In a hotel room, Chen Zhongzhou watched the rain outside the window sloping down, and his brows were tightly wrinkled.
Turning his head to look at Ye Qin, who was packing up in the hotel room, Chen Zhongzhou spoke softly and comforted, "Ye Qin, let's forget about this game, the weather today is really not good." ”
"Huh?" In the hotel room, packing up the spikes and sprinting clothes that he would need to participate in the competition, hearing Chen Zhongzhou's words, Ye Qin suddenly said with some curiosity, "What's the matter, Brother Chen?" Didn't you say that the rain would stop at night during the game? ”
Today is July 17th.
On July 11 and 12, Ye Qin watched the 6th World Junior Athletics Championships in Brissenon, Italy, which is a good adjustment during this time.
The Chinese delegation performed well in this World Junior Championships, ranking fifth with 3 golds, 3 silvers and 1 bronze. In various events, the silver medal won by the rookie Xie Zheng in the men's 200m can be regarded as a medal of great importance.
Ye Qin also told Yuan Guohua, the head coach of the national relay team, about the situation of this young athlete from Jiangnan Province over the phone.
On the 13th, after saying goodbye to the Chinese delegation of the World Junior Championships, Ye Qin left Italy and went to Paris, France.
The first two days in Paris, France, were fine, but after the 15th, the weather suddenly became a little bad, and it began to rain heavily since yesterday.
After Ye Qin came to Paris, France, except for the first two days of outdoor training, these two days were the indoor training hall contacted by the main committee, and some simple training to maintain the state was carried out indoors.
"That's what I said." Chen Zhongzhou was a little helpless on his face, "But who knows if it can really stop, look at the current rain, when the time comes, I am afraid that it will be indispensable to get drenched." The World Championships in Berlin are not long away, and you may not be able to gain more than you gain in the rain. ”
"Brother Chen, I'm not that expensive."
Ye Qin listened to Chen Zhongzhou's reason, smiled and waved his hand, "Everyone is here, I am not reconciled at this time, and I will not be alone when the time comes." There are probably quite a few players who will challenge the Paris League this time. ”
"But there are still some unnecessary risks."
Chen Zhongzhou shook his head, he knew who Ye Qin was talking about, Ye Qin was not the only challenger who won all six races of the 2009 IAAF Golden League, in addition to him, there was also the famous Ethiopian long-distance runner Kenenisa Bekele, the 2004 and 2008 men's 10,000m Olympic champion, the 2003, 2005 and 2007 World Championships men's 10,000m champion, and the men's 5,000m champion in many events, It was at this time that the track and field arena was considered one of the greatest long-distance runners of all time.
In addition, Jamaican women's 100m flyer Karen Stewart, US Championships women's 400m first Richards Ross, and Russian high jump queen Isinbayeva and so on.
In terms of the overall lineup, the level of players participating in this Paris Golden League is higher than that of the previous Golden League.
"The Golden League Million Dollar Jackpot is attractive, but with your current net worth, I don't think you should be able to risk your body and play in the rain for this." Chen Zhongzhou followed and persuaded again.
"I didn't challenge the Golden League entirely for the prize money."
Ye Qin heard Chen Zhongzhou mention this stubble, and explained with a smile that he wanted to challenge the Golden League this year in order to try to win this honor in the last year before the IAAF banned him.
After all, many things, once the event restructuring is missed, there will be no chance.
As for the Diamond League, it is a game that has not yet started, and it is a bit early to talk about him, and the Diamond League has a lot of games and a lot of countries, so it is not easy to win it all.
However, Ye Qin still knew that Chen Zhongzhou was doing it for his own good, thought about it, and replied with a smile: "That's it, Brother Chen, let's take a look at the venue when the time comes, if it rains heavily, I won't play." If the rain is light or the rain stops, I'll play. ”
"That'll do fine."
Chen Zhongzhou nodded when he saw Ye Qin say this, "In such weather, muscles are easy to tighten, so the warm-up before the game should be longer, and if there is something not right, stop quickly, we don't need to fight for such a game." ”
"Okay."
Ye Qin nodded in agreement.
……
In the evening, inside the Stade de France in Paris.
Despite the rain, more than 46,000 spectators braved the rain to watch this year's Golden League in Paris.
The Stade de France once set a record of 70,253 spectators at the 2005 Paris Golden League, and this year's rainy days still have so many spectators to watch the game, you can see the love of the entire Parisian audience for athletics.
At 21:20 in the evening, standing by the small window next to the indoor warm-up track of the Stade de France, Ye Qin looked at the heavy rain outside the window that had stopped, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
The track and field competitions he participated in were not particularly frequent in the rain, but the most profound impact was the 2005 World Championships in Helsinki, when heavy rain affected the form of many athletes.
In the men's 200m race, Ye Qin seized the opportunity to run wild in the rain, and won the men's 200m final unexpectedly before the game, defeating Jax Thelin, John Capel and Jason Gaby and other top athletes, and began his real rise in international athletics.
Now that I think about it, four years have passed in the blink of an eye, and he has gone from a young man to a super-first-class sprinter and a world record holder on the planet.
It seems like yesterday, but it's happening for real.
"Hey, Ye Chin, it's time to play!"
Just as Ye Qin was looking out the window, his thoughts were a little fluttering, and a male voice with a slight accent came from the side.
Ye Qin turned his head to look and saw a handsome young black man in a red sprint suit standing not far away, waving at him with a mouthful of white teeth.
"Okay. Thank you, Daniel! ”
Ye Qin nodded at the black man and thanked him with a smile.
"You're welcome." Daniel Bailey waved his hand, looked at Ye Qin and said, "This game is a rainy day, and Yusse Bot said that he was going to come to participate in the competition, but after seeing your registration, our coach Glenn Mills asked Yusse Bot to give up. ”
"Is Euse Bot considering coming over for the Golden League in Paris?"
Yechin is a little curious about what Daniel Bailey said, Daniel Bailey and Yusse Bot are training partners, and several of them should have been under the tutelage of legendary Jamaican coach Glenn Mills in recent years. Daniel Bailey himself and Yusse Bot are also very good friends.
"Of course. That guy wants to compete with you in the men's 100m. Daniel Bailey replied with a smile, "But the coach suggests that the pinnacle showdown between you will have to wait until the World Championships in Berlin, which is ......."
Daniel Bailey paused slightly and made a fist-to-fist gesture, "Maybe if you meet in advance, it will still affect the state of each other." ”
"I'm also looking forward to meeting Yusse Bot at the World Championships." Yechin smiled and nodded, he knew that Daniel Bailey was right, and now before the World Championships in Berlin, neither he nor Yusse Bot would meet.
This is a good thing for an athlete of the same high level, to be able to adjust themselves to the best during this time.
The two whispered this as they crossed the indoor warm-up track and began to enter the check-in process.
21:45 p.m.
When the list of nine runners in the last men's 100-meter race was played on the big screen in the humid Stade de France, the entire stadium instantly boiled.
The noise and enthusiasm of more than 40,000 people seemed to evaporate the rain of the entire venue at once, making every player who entered the arena become enthusiastic.
First Way, Simon Williamson, UK;
second, Yohan Blake, Jamaica;
third, Kurandi Martina, Netherlands Andris;
the fourth way, Kim Collins, Saint Kitts and Nevis;
Fifth Dao, Yechin, China;
Sixth Way, Avery Williams, USA;
7th lane, Martial Mbanchok, France;
Eighth Lane, Daniel Bailey, Antigua and Barbuda;
Ninth Lane, Richard Thompson, Trinidad and Tobago;
The nine-man line-up was a bit worse than it was in Rome, Italy, but the fact that the men's 100m record holder was on the track was enough to get the crowd excited.
Ever since Ye Qin ran the 9.70 mark again in the last race in Rome, countless track and field enthusiasts around the world have been concerned about whether Ye Qin can break the world record he set at the Yenching Olympics last year.
The highlight of this year's World Championships in Berlin was the competition between Yechin and Eusey Bott in the men's 100m and 200m, and everyone wondered who would be the better of the two best sprinters and whether they could win both the men's 100m and 200m records.
For two-time world champion in the men's 200m, Ye Qin lacks at least one men's 200m world record on his resume, and if he can achieve this achievement, he will become the first athlete on the planet to cross three events and break all world records.
As the time of the game approached, when the information of the nine players was introduced on the whole broadcast, everyone in the boiling Stade de France consciously fell silent.
At the sound of the referee's command, the nine competitors stepped onto the runner and began to wait for the gunshots to sound.
Ye Qin basically knows the eight players in this game, although he may not be familiar with them, but he has more or less competed in everything.
Including the host country's Martial Mbanchok, the African-Frenchman had a decent record, having won the French men's 100m last year, with a personal best of 10.06 seconds, and was also a member of the core fourth of the French relay team.
Among the other players, there is only one American athlete Avery Williams, Ye Qin is a little unfamiliar, but the national sprinting talent is not comparable to other countries, not to mention the level of professional sprinters, that is, some players at all levels of rugby, if they turn to sprinting, after some training, the results can be good, and running into the 10-second mark will not be a big problem.
Of course, I really want to get to the top and become a superb, that's another topic.
Although there was no challenge from Euse Bot or Jason Gaby and Asafavir, Yechin did not relax and took it seriously.
If nothing else, this should be his last tournament in Europe before the World Championships.
After this race, although there will be the London Super Grand Prix, Monaco Super Grand Prix and Stockholm Super Grand Prix on July 24, 28 and 31, Yechin is not ready to participate.
The first thing is that there are a few of these matches in attendance, with Usse Bot and Jason Gaby in attendance, and there is no preparation for another head-to-head matchup before the World Championships.
The other is also after this Golden League, which will take another week. Then after participating in the Stockholm Super Grand Prix on July 31, there is still half a month before the World Championships in Berlin, and then it will be too much to go back to China for a while and come to Europe again.
It's better to go home directly after the Golden League in Paris, and then follow the delegation to Berlin next month.
The time is more appropriate, and in this way, Ye Qin can also have a period of rest and summarize the gains and losses of the recent competition, and at the same time, he can also cooperate with the training of the 4×100-meter relay team in China.
After a single gunshot, the game officially began.
Ye Qin quickly rushed out of the runway after the starting gun sounded.
Although it was a rainy day, Ye Qin had already warmed up carefully on the indoor warm-up track before the race, and the muscles and joints of his body had been fully opened, and he ran very smoothly.
Twenty meters later, Ye Qin had already run to the front of the nine runners, and began to gradually widen the gap with the other competitors around him.
Thirty meters, Ye Qin entered the middle of the run, the speed was further improved, and at this time, the cheers of the audience at the scene had once again resounded in the entire Stade de France.
Forty meters, fifty meters, sixty meters......
Ye Qin took the lead, and the specifications of the players in this competition did not have those super-first-class sprinters who could compete with his coach, and almost no one could keep up with Ye Qin.
Starting from 70 meters, the whole arena was almost like Ye Qin performing alone, far ahead, and there was a big gap between him and other competitors around him.
The crowd at the Stade de France also screamed when they saw Yechin's performance.
The men's 100m race is instantaneous, but the speed that embodies the extreme of human beings is the most able to infect everyone's emotions.
9.77 seconds!
In the end, but after Ye Qin crossed the finish line, this set of Ye Qin's results appeared on the on-site timing board.
The wind speed is headwind, -0.2 m/s!
The applause rang out at the same time after Ye Qin crossed the finish line.
In this game, Ye Chin's performance was perfect, although the results were not as good as when Rome, but everyone could see that on the one hand, Ye Qin did not encounter the challenge of an absolutely strong opponent, and he obviously had spare strength to run.
The other thing is that the weather in this game is a bit bad, not to mention the headwind, that is, the venue has been washed by rain, and the air humidity has affected the performance of the players.
The second and third places behind Yechin were Daniel Bailey and Yuhan Blake, both of whom ran the 10-second mark with a time of 9.91 and 9.93 seconds, respectively.
Both men set new best results in this race, with Daniel Bailey breaking his national record in Antigua and Barbuda.
After Ye Qin crossed the finish line, he immediately smiled when he saw his results.
He was also quite satisfied with the result of this race, in this men's 100m race, he did not run hard, but still ran under 9.80 seconds.
This gave him a perfect answer before ending his trip to Europe for more than half a month.
"The next time I go back to Europe, it's the World Championships!"
Running slowly on the track, greeting the cheers of the audience, Ye Qin's heart was happy, and at the same time, he also thought of the next game.
At that time, he would face the most formidable opponents in the Circle, but he believed that he would be the one who would win.
