Okay, let's take a look at the list of preliminaries, the first is Nesta Carter from Jamaica, and the second is Patrick Johnson of Australia, a 1972-born veteran who ran a personal best of 9.93 seconds in Mito, Japan, in 2003. The third lane is the host Japan's Naoki Tsukahara, the fourth lane is Monaco's SebastiΓ‘n Gattuso, the fifth lane is Yechin, the sixth lane is Italy's Rosario La Mastra, the seventh lane is Jack Howard from the Federated States of Micronesia, the eighth lane is Dane O'Hara from Norfolk Island, and the ninth lane is Surinamese Urgen......"

At 13:50 Beijing time and 12:50 Osaka local time, the footage of the domestic CCTV 5 channel has fallen on the Nagai Stadium in Osaka.

Mu Jiang's voice was transmitted to thousands of households through electronic signals.

Many people couldn't help but clap their hands excitedly as soon as the picture appeared, Ye Qin stood in the position of the fifth lane, his expression seemed to be quite excited, and he was waving at both sides of the stands.

On the one hand, the Olympic Games are imminent, the domestic track and field atmosphere is hot, and on the other hand, the most important thing is to have highlights.

The Osaka World Championships for the men's 100m, 200m and 400m, as well as the men's 110m hurdles four events, are all from the first round of preliminaries, all-round broadcast began to broadcast.

Among them, during the broadcast process, the competition time of other groups may free up the semi-finals and finals of some important events, but the games with domestic athletes will not be left behind.

"Ye Qin looks very relaxed, it is only now that the preliminaries have started, for an athlete of his level, there is no need to be too nervous, as long as there are no major mistakes, there will definitely be no problem in qualifying......

When the on-site camera fell on Ye Qin, Ye Qin also smiled, stretched out his hand to say hello to the camera, and pointed to his number plate. This action made Mu Jiang, who was commenting, and many viewers in front of the TV couldn't help laughing.

"Sister, look at the action of black charcoal, wow, it's really too arrogant!"

In the room of the Longyue community in Linzhou, Chen Zixi sat cross-legged on the sofa, looking at Ye Qin who appeared in the camera, and listening to the angry voice of his sister next to him, he couldn't help but chuckle.

Ye Qin finished his movements, restrained his expression, and his expression gradually became solemn.

The actions he did just now were actually not funny and arrogant, just showing himself in front of the camera. Agent Max Essenbaard has given him advice that he can show himself more appropriately before the game and improve his image.

If you can run well in the competition, with some pre-race movements, it is easy to distinguish your image from other competitors and become clear.

It seems to be a casual action, but in fact, it can improve a lot of business competitiveness in the future.

Ye Qin did not have too much pressure in this group of preliminaries, and the men's 100 meters had to run four shots, and now it is the first shot, and there are 32 promotion places for 67 players.

The top three in each group will advance directly, and then eight players will be added according to the results of the remaining players.

After the sound of the runners taking their places, Ye Qin quickly immersed himself in the game, and after a gunshot, Ye Qin quickly rushed out of the starting line.

The start of his group was not particularly good, probably because the race was at noon, and his body was not fully excited, but even so, at about 80 meters, Ye Qin still surpassed other opponents and ran to the first position.

The final time was 10.14 seconds, which was a decent result in all the preliminaries. The second and third places in the group were won by Jamaica's Nesta Carter and Japan's Naoki Tsukahara in 10.17 and 10.20 seconds, respectively.

In just ten seconds of competition, it still doesn't look enjoyable for many viewers in front of the TV to get up, but everyone is rushing to Ye Qin, and everyone is basically satisfied when they see him successfully advancing to the semi-finals with the first place in the group.

And the start time of this round of preliminaries in China is from noon to afternoon, in fact, there are not many people who really see it, but when it comes to the rematch in the evening, the number of people who pay attention will increase.

At 20:15 in the evening, the men's 100m preliminaries continued, with a total of four groups in the semi-finals, and all 32 players participated.

Before Yechin came on the field, Asafavir, the group leader in the first semi-final, ran a time of 10.01 seconds against Derek Atkins, which was a really high-level matchup.

The second group in the semi-finals was led by Kurandi Martina of the Netherlands Antilles with a time of 10.10 seconds, and the first in the third group was Jason Gaby with a time of 10.06 seconds.

When it was time for Yechin to play, Asafavil and Jason Gaby, who had finished the game in the first two groups, did not take a stand, but stood in the stands and waited for Yechin to play.

After the rematch of Asafavir, he began to observe the state of the opponent, and he basically didn't see it much in the preliminaries, after all, the level of the players was relatively low, but when it came to the rematch, he had already screened a round, and the level of the players was basically not too bad.

Jason Gaby and Assafavir did not notice Asafavil's figure, and it would not be surprising that he really saw it, the men's 100m duel is never just about running on the track, it is also important to adjust according to the opponent's condition.

Ye Qin stood in front of the starting line for the second time today, looking at the finish line in the distance, his expression was not as open as in the preliminaries, and he was not so casual.

The game needs to be serious, and the opponents you face in the preliminaries can feel that the level is not low, and you still have to cheer up when it comes to the rematch.

In his group of semi-finals, the players are not weak. His group included Brandon Christian of Antigua and Barbuda, Mark Burns of Trinidad and Tobago, Craig Pickering of Great Britain, Kim Collins, the 2003 world champion of the 100m, and Naoki Tsukahara of Japan, whom he met in the preliminaries.

Among them, Britain's Craig Pickering is a rare white athlete, who has just won the men's 100m championship at the European Championships, with a best time of 10.14 seconds.

In the face of this group of runners, Ye Qin started obviously better than the preliminaries at noon, and after 50 meters, he basically took the first place on the track, locked the victory, and once again advanced to the semifinals with a time of 10.10 seconds.

"Asafa won't have an easy final tomorrow."

In the corner of the stands, an unusually tall black young man looked at the track and field track in the distance, exhaled softly, and whispered as if talking to himself.

And next to him, a dark and fat middle-aged black man frowned when he heard the voice, "It's not an easy problem, it's a serious challenge." ”

"Coach, do you think Asaffa will lose?" The black young man raised his eyebrows, he had always been very confident in Asafavil's strength, and when he heard his coach say this, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous for a while.

'Asafa still doesn't have enough mental quality, which I talked to with his coach when I was in Kingston. Glenn Mills sighed silently, "Asafa has grown so smoothly that he can't carry the pressure enough, and now the whole of Jamaica is watching him, and I'm a little worried about him." He's the banner man of Jamaica, but he's not as strong as you, Yusse, and he doesn't have as much of a strong heart as you. ”

For Glenn Mills, he paid attention to the Jamaican track and field leader earlier than usual, after winning the national championships in 2003, Asafavil participated in the '03 World Championships in Paris, and Asafavir, who made his debut at the international competition, was out of the race because he was running away, and then in the relay event because he couldn't bear the pressure, he made a baton handover error in the 4Γ—100m relay. Later, at the '04 Olympics, although Asafavir performed well in the 100m, he withdrew again in the 200m.

All of these performances, in Glenn Mills' view, are due to the fact that he is not mentally strong enough to withstand the pressure.

"Coach, after this World Championships, I will work harder!" The black youth turned his head to look at the black coach who was a little worried, and suddenly said solemnly.

He knew that his coach was worried about Asafavil's state because of the meaning of the other side, Asafavil represented the glory of the Jamaican men's sprint at this time, and his wins and losses sometimes had a huge impact on all Jamaican sprinters.

"Yusse, you don't have to think about that now, first do your best in the current World Championships!" Glenn Mills looked at the black youth around him and put aside those somewhat deep thoughts. Instead, he smiled, he was very satisfied with the recent performance of the black youth, but he didn't think about putting any pressure on the other party, Eusei Bote, has always been an athlete with ideas and a strong heart.

"If I had gone all out to train after my surgery last year and the year before, I think I would have been more confident at this time." Yusse-Bot stared blankly at the men's 100-meter track, where the Chinese rider he knew well had just finished first in his group and was ready to retire.

"Yuse, you're still young, you have enough time, don't rush."

Glenn Mills stretched out his hand and patted it, "In the 200m of the World Championships, you are still one of the strongest contenders for the championship, Jason Gaby, Yechin, Wallace Spearmon, these people are familiar to you, but it is not so easy for them to really win you, is it?" ”

The corners of Yusse-Bot's mouth moved slightly, and finally he grinned a grin, "Yes, it's not easy for them to beat me, I just broke the Jamaican national record, if they really want to win this game, they need to give it their all." ”

"That's it." Glenn Mills smiled and looked into the distance, "Yousse, your talent is far superior to others, but the growth of an athlete is never smooth sailing, and I'm glad you recognize the problem now." I've always felt that you should be the one who wins the championship, and when the World Championships are over, we'll be in Jamaica, and I've got a training plan tailored for you. That said, you don't want to wait for the morning to train again. ”

"Haha......" Yusse-Bot smiled, staring at the flickering lights on the stadium in the distance, "No, it won't." ”
