Chapter 272: Excavating the Background (10th Update)
Twenty minutes after the end of the men's 400m event, the time came to 13:50, and on the straight track in Hayward Stadium, eight lanes, a total of 10 hurdles for each lane, had appeared neatly on the track.
After running the men's 400 meters, Ye Qin eased up a little for a while, and after his body gradually recovered his strength, he did not leave the field to rest, but stood on the sidelines, waiting for the start of the men's 110-meter hurdles with Da Yao and others.
Liu Yangyu is also participating in the Grand Prix in Eugene, Oregon for the first time, as the champion of the Athens Olympics, stepping on the United States, a track and field powerhouse, he also hopes to have a good performance.
The strength of the players in the same group is not weak, Alan Johnson, Trammell, Dominic Arnold, etc., in the men's 110m hurdles competition, except for the Olympic champion Liu Yangyu, an Asian player, the other seven are all local American players.
After the gunshots rang out, Liu Yangyu relied on the speed of the start to accelerate, smoothly crossed the first hurdle, after three hurdles, has taken the lead, and finally after crossing the finish line, Liu Yangyu won the men's 110-meter hurdles championship in Eugene with a time of 13.06 seconds.
Alan Johnson, the most dominant player in the men's 110m hurdles, failed to finish the race after this group of competitions because he knocked over the hurdles.
At this time, people around the world who are paying attention to the men's 110m hurdles can see that Liu Yangyu is full of morale after winning the Olympic championship, and is completely replacing Alan Johnson as the new ruler of the event.
……
The next day, when the Eugene Grand Prix came to an end and the news came back home, this time, the media craze was back in the air.
The Eugene Grand Prix on June 4 is less than a month away from the Osaka Grand Prix, and the sports section and track and field section, which have just been a little quiet, have once again attracted the attention of many people.
The champion of the two Grand Prix, Liu Yangyu continues to consolidate and enhance his influence on the national people and the world athletics world, and Ye Qin has begun to become more and more known for taking this ride.
Many media reports, in addition to focusing mainly on Liu Yangyu's current training and competitions, Ye Qin has also begun to occupy some separate pages, and even the reports about Xiushui No. 2 Middle School where he once studied have been dug up by many media people.
With Ye Qin's achievements and achievements, there are naturally many reasons why he has been able to get so much media attention, the most important of which is, needless to say, Liu Yangyu's Olympic champion, which makes many people think that we may have a lot to do in track and field sprints.
And Ye Chin's appearance just satisfies the main points that many media can hype.
His upbringing is more inspirational and storytelling, with two bronze medals at the World Junior Championships, two silver medals at the World Junior Championships, sixth place at the Olympic Games, and the holder of the national 200 and 400m records.
For a while, there were more and more articles in the media about this young athlete who was rising to the top and gradually attracted the attention of many people.
"Rural Youth, Breaking the National Men's 400m Record for the Second Time"
"Ye Chin, it was my middle school that cultivated me"
"The world athletics is emerging, another track and field genius is rising, how far can he go? 》
"Two Grand Prix Championships, Ye Qin Claims to Have Won a Fluke"
"The 400m event could be China's second breakthrough in track and field, experts explain that white athletes were Olympic champions last year"
"Liu Yangyu: Ye Qin's talent is better than mine"
"Da Yao: The competition is very exciting, I am proud of Ye Qin"
……
In addition, an article called "A Teenager in the Mud" jumped from the sports section to the social section of the mainstream media, causing a sensation.
“…… Many people have been paying attention to a young athlete recently, everyone knows the competitions he has participated in, the honors he has won, and even he has never entered the professional teams such as the city team and the provincial team.
On the eve of last year's Athens Olympics, only two people in China were able to compete in the men's sprint events (100m, 200m and 400m). One is Chen Jian, a 100-meter athlete, and the other is Yang Yao, the best athlete in the 200-meter event.
For the performance of Chinese men's track and field on the Olympic stage, we are all familiar with it for so many years, and there is a huge gap between China's sprinting events and the world's top sprinters.
Just a month before the Athens Olympics, at the World Youth Athletics Championships being held in Grosseto, Italy, a Chinese teenager rose to prominence, winning silver medals in the men's 200m and 400m events, and both met the AB standard for Olympic participation, of which the men's 200m broke the national record that had been silent for eight years.
That's Yechin.
How did this teenager from Xiushui County, Haixi Province, who had never trained in a professional team before entering the national team, become the third athlete to participate in the men's sprint event at the Olympic Games?
…… When I visited Xiushui No. 2 Middle School, I found out that Ye Qin had changed Xiushui No. 2 Middle School, and Xiushui No. 2 Middle School had also done its best to cultivate Ye Qin. In the history of Chinese education and even the history of sports, it is rare and amazing.
Today's Xiushui No. 2 Middle School has embarked on the road of a strong sports school, and Ye Qin has also won the honor of outstanding graduates, and the two have never existed alone, they are mutual achievements. We've known the term campus sports for a long time, but it still has a long way to go to truly become a culture like the United States. But no matter what, the model of Xiushui No. 2 Middle School should be worthy of our reference and full attention.
…… When I got to know Ye Qin's life and experience, I found that Ye Qin was more like most of the township teenagers, no, it should be said that his upbringing was more bumpy than that of most rural teenagers. …… In the 80s, the medical conditions in the rural areas of the country were generally poor, because of a difficult birth, the child who had just fallen to the ground had no mother, and his real father was unwilling to take on the responsibility of raising him, and wanted to give him to someone else to raise. The grandparents who couldn't see it felt sorry for their grandson, and shouldered the heavy responsibility of raising him to adulthood in their old age......
The poor life tempered his will, and the hardships and hardships made him know early that life is not easy, and it is actually hard for me to imagine that such a somewhat embarrassing growth experience not only failed to suppress his growth in the end, but was like a weed in the rocky cliffs, indomitable, strong and growing up......"
When this report came out, not too many people noticed it at first, and the interviewer was a reporter from a sports media in Haixi Province, because Ye Qin was the best athlete in Haixi Province in recent years, and many media reporters were staring at Ye Qin to make a fuss.
And this reporter is different from others, he really spent a lot of effort to dig deeper, in addition to school, even made a special trip to Ye Qin's home, and did a lot of homework with the neighbors, and even he once wanted to invite Ye Qin's biological father and stepmother living in Xiaoli Town, but in the end he failed to find anyone.
In addition to some sports newspaper reports at the beginning, the article quickly attracted the attention of some social pages, including the famous "Reader" magazine, which also reprinted the article and published it in the next monthly issue.
Just when the national media reprinted this rather inspiring growth experience, a certain southern media suddenly broke out several other reports, causing an uproar.
"Parents spoke up for the first time, and they didn't abandon it, but they had to do it"
"He doesn't recognize us, but we still hope he is doing well"
……
At this time, Ye Qin, who was in the United States, did not know that after he broke the national men's 400-meter record and won the championship in Eugene, many domestic media began to dig up and report on him one after another.
On June 6, after the Eugene Grand Prix, Ye Qin and Liu Yangyu rushed to New York, USA, where it was the second stop of their trip to the United States.
