"Asafavir broke the world record again?"

"9.74 seconds!"

On the runway of the General Training Bureau, when Chen Zhongzhou said this bombshell news, Yuan Guohua, Li Qi, Yang Yao, Zhang Peimeng, Su Bingtian and others all looked at Ye Qin with their eyes, and they all seemed to want to see some clues from his face.

Ye Qin stood on the edge of the runway, a little silent for a while.

9.74 seconds!

Al-Safavir broke his own world record, which ...... To be honest, this result made him feel a lot of pressure at the moment.

The previous world record in the men's 100m was 9.77 seconds held by Asafavil, and after the men's 100m final at the World Championships in Osaka, Ye Qin thought he was not far from that time.

After all, in the final of the World Championships in Osaka, he ran a time of 9.83 seconds, and ran with a headwind of 0.5 m/s, and if he encountered a tailwind, it may not be impossible to run under 9.80 seconds in the best state.

It's just that now this record has been raised by Asafavil from 9.77 seconds to 9.74 seconds, which seems to be an increase of 0.03 seconds is not much, but when it comes to the men's 100m event, especially at the highest level, every hundredth of a second is an invisible threshold.

"Ye Chin, what do you think? Stressed? ”

Everyone was silent for a while after Chen Zhongzhou finished talking about the world record breaking again at the Letty Grand Prix. Yuan Guohua turned his head to look at Ye Qin, who was silent, with a smile on his face, and asked Ye Qin.

"Well, there's pressure." Ye Qin did not hide it and nodded.

This pressure from strong opponents is obvious, especially after the World Championships in Osaka, and what is in front of him, or the entire track and field team, is the Yenching Olympics in the next '08.

As the host country's home athlete, the double champion of the men's 100m and 200m at this year's World Championships, you can imagine how much the Chinese people are looking forward to his performance in next year's Olympics.

Not to mention anything else, after the track and field team finished the World Championships, they returned to China, in fact, they didn't have a long rest, and everyone had an invisible string in their hearts that tightened tightly.

It's not yet time to be able to enjoy the glory and receive the cheers.

The reason why Asafavir is known as the world's first man in the men's 100m is not only because he set the world record in the men's 100m, but also because he ran the world record of 9.77 seconds, and then ran three times in a row to tie the world record.

In 2006, he ran under 10 seconds ten times, maintaining the record of almost winning the men's 100m race in the whole year, but unfortunately, he did not play well enough in the final of the World Championships in Osaka.

But even Ye Qin himself, with absolute self-confidence, does not dare to really think that his current men's 100m level is above Asafavir.

Now, just a week after the World Championships, Asafavir has once again made a name for himself with a new world record of 9.74 seconds.

"Will I be able to win the championship at the Bird's Nest next year?"

Facing the world record again a week after the end of the World Championships in Asafavir, Ye Qin also fell into such doubts for a while.

There will be no one who will always win and be undefeated in the field of athletics, and Ye Qin knows this very well, but the more he understands this, the more he understands the challenges he will face in a year's time.

"Alright, let's do it first."

Yuan Guohua and Li Qi also saw the shock brought to him by Ye Qin's news that Asafavil had broken the world record again, and clapped their hands, making everyone come back to their senses.

"Everyone continues to train, tomorrow we will go to the Shenghai Xinzhuang training base, and there will be a Grand Prix at the Shenghai station at the end of the month."

After speaking, Yuan Guohua looked at Ye Qin again and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Jason Gaby and Asafarville will come to participate in this year's Grand Prix of Shenghai Station." However, I heard that Asafavil was supposed to compete in the men's 200m. ”

"Men's 200m?" Ye Qin's eyes lit up slightly, and after a little pondering, he probably understood Asafavir's thoughts.

After losing in the men's 100m at the World Championships in Osaka, he returned to Shenghai to compete in the Grand Prix, and the men's 100m is likely to meet him and Jason Gaby again, and the men's 200m is clearly staggered.

Losing out to Yechin or Jason Gaby in the 200m at least is not as difficult for Asafavil as it is in the men's 100m.

"I'll fight you again. Then, you should see you in the '08 season. Ye Qin silently thought about the next game and the next year.

……

Arkansas, USA.

At the entrance of a prison, a creaking iron door sounded, and a gray-haired black man wearing a plain wide T-shirt walked out, led by two white prison guards with big bellies.

"Good luck, Lance."

"Don't come back, Mr. Brauman."

The two prison guards greeted the gray-haired black man with a smile, and his tone was relaxed, obviously very familiar with the old black man.

"Of course I won't come back, and I'm not happy if you paid me to stay." Lance-Blaumann smiled and shook hands with the two of them, then pointed to the back of the prison gate, "The service of the hotel is not very good, you waiters are not very qualified." ”

"Hahaha...... , old man! The guard laughed loudly and raised his leg as if he wanted to kick the other man's ass.

"Hehe, now that I'm out of prison, be careful that I sue you for personal injury." Lance-Brauman leaned slightly sideways and shouted, pointing at the other man.

"Goodbye, Lance!" The two guards laughed for a while, then retracted their smiles and waved their hands.

"Again, Bruce, Joe, I'll treat you to a drink if I have a chance."

Lance-Brauman smiled and waved his hand, turned his head and took a deep breath, more than two years of imprisonment have finally passed, although prison life is not colorful, especially his half-hundred-year-old black man in it, it is not interesting, but now, he can finally breathe the breath of freedom.

Carrying a duffel bag, Lance Brauman stood at the prison door in a slight daze, and before he was imprisoned, he was a sprinter coach at the University of Aksas, and although he was not financially well-off, he actually reached the level of the average American middle class.

But more than two years have passed in a flash, the happy family has been shattered, his wife and him have gone through divorce procedures, and the custody of the children is in the hands of his wife. The house and other possessions were also on his wife's side, and he could now step out of the prison gates, but he was completely alone.

The iron door of the prison behind him was closed, and Lance Brauman stood in the doorway, slightly stunned, unable to think of where he should go for a moment.

There is even a strange feeling in my mind that it is not as comfortable as living in prison.

"The sun shines on his shoulders, like a free man."

Lance-Blaumann glanced up at the vast sky and muttered a line from a movie he had seen.

"Buzz"

There was a roar of the car engine, and a black high-end Chevrolet pickup suddenly came to a slow stop in front of him.

"Huh?" Lance Blaumann looked at the stopped car with a slight disbelief, and soon the co-pilot's glass window pulled down, and a voice came from inside.

"Hitchhiker, man!"

"No......" Lance-Brauman instinctively wanted to refuse, and suddenly saw the person sitting in the driver's seat clearly, and suddenly couldn't help but get excited.

"Jason, why are you here? How are you? Damn, aren't you supposed to play in the Golden League in Europe right now? Lance-Brauman shouted with some incoherence.

"I think it's probably more important to be a driver for a while than to the races that come every year." Jason Gaby looked at the middle-aged black man standing there with a smile on his face, and gently patted the backrest made by the co-pilot next to him, "Now, Mr. Blauman, please get in the car." ”

"You guy......" Lance Brauman smiled.

No one can help but be moved at this time, after two years of prison life, it is not his family who comes to pick him up at the prison gate, but one of his students, the sprinting genius he has carefully guided.

The other party did not forget about himself, but pushed a lot of games to pick him up, and this feeling of being valued is really good.

Pulling the car door and getting into the passenger seat, Lance-Braumann still had an excited smile on his face.

The middle-aged black man was not good at expressing his heart, so he just stretched out his hand and clenched his fist, and gently touched the fist handed by the other party.

"Jason, although your World Championships are over, I don't think you should actually come, your competition this season is not over?"

Although the conditions in the United States are not very good, news and news can still be received, Lance Brauman knows Jason Gaby's performance at the World Championships, winning silver medals in both the men's 100m and 200m, some regrets, but this is the competition, so he hopes that Jason Gaby can continue to compete instead of coming back to the United States to pick him up from prison.

After the World Championships, there are still three Golden League games and several Grand Prix tournaments in Europe, which are worth grinding and participating in for athletes who are improving and growing.

"I know, Coach." Jason Gaby smiled, "It's just a few matches, I need your guidance more in comparison, my opponent is too strong." ”

Speaking of this, Jason Gaby suddenly paused, looking through the windshield at the road ahead, "Asafaville broke the world record again, just yesterday. ”

"What?" Lance Brauman's eyes showed a look of surprise, then he calmed down and shook his head, "Asafavil has this strength, he has already equaled the world record three times, I thought he might win you at this World Championships, the result is ...... It turned out to be another Chinese. ”

Although he has been in prison for several years, he has never been less guided by Jason Gaby. For a while, he was in prison doing an analysis of Jason Gaby and a training program. It is still the case with the IAAF athletes from all walks of life.

"Are you still willing to be guided by me? I know you've hired Jon Drummond, the guy is a good guy and he's able to give you a lot of improvement. Lance Braumann continued.

"No, that's not enough." Jason Gaby shook his head slightly, "My opponent is getting stronger and improving, and I need to get stronger too." Asafavir, Yechin, Yusse Both, Wallace Spearmon, these people are all strong. ”

When Jason Gaby returned home and heard that Asafavir had broken the world record again, his emotions were quite mixed. He believes that many people actually know that Asafavil has the ability to break the world record again, but he didn't expect it to happen in his first appearance after the World Championship defeat.

To win against Asafavil, win against Yechin, win against others, Jason Gaby understands that he needs to train more systematically and seize the time to improve himself before the Olympics.

"So, Coach, I hope to still have your guidance." Jason Gaby looked at Lance Brauman with burning eyes and said word by word, "I want to be number one in the world and I need your help." ”

Lance-Braumann leaned back in his seat, slightly silent.

It's not that I'm resistant to the invitation initiated by Jason Gaby, but I inadvertently remembered the scene when the two first met.

It was 2000, and Tyson Gay was a high school student at Lafayette High School, and Lance Blauman had been convincing Jason to go to his Barton College and become an athlete under him after he had stumbled upon one of his high school games. After that, he was hired by the University of Arkansas as a track and field coach, and Jason Gaby followed him all the way to the University of Arkansas.

The two have worked together for five years and can be said to be the most familiar with each other.

After a long time, Lance Brauman let out a leisurely breath, looked at Jason Gaby, and laughed, "Why not?" You must know that it is not so easy for a black person with a criminal record to find a job with a good income. ”

"Haha, I knew you would promise me." Jason Gaby honked his horn twice and laughed excitedly, "Next week, coach, I'll take you to Shenghai, China, where you can take a closer look at my opponents." ”

……

Kingston, Jamaica.

An athletics training ground at the foot of the world's most famous Blue Mountain Coffee Mountain.

In the early morning, the fog in the mountains was still drifting, and the eastern sun climbed out of the hillside, and the bright sunlight fell on the blue and white track of the track and field.

"Oh, Yusai, I'm dazzled, Yusai, you're here so early?"

On the edge of the track and field, a young black man with a duffel bag stood on the edge of the track and field, looking at a tall figure on the track that was already warming up, and suddenly shouted in great surprise.

"Daniel, you're late." The pot-bellied Glenn Mills heard a voice behind him, and immediately turned around and shouted at the young black man who spoke.

"It's not that I'm late, Mr. Mills, it's ......" Daniel Bailey pointed at him and Yusse Both, "you're suddenly a lot earlier than before. I couldn't believe that Yusey Bot would wake up early. ”

Glenn smiled, he understood the meaning of Daniel Bailey's words, Euse Bote, since he took over the other party's training in 04, almost every day of early training, in a state of death and life.

Either you can't get up, or after you get up, it's like sleepwalking on the track and field. After a few tosses, Glenn Mills stopped caring about him, and instead adjusted Eusey Bote's training time to the afternoon and evening.

Daniel Bailey joined his runners' club late this year to receive his coaching in the men's 100m and 200m, and Glenn Mills directly used Daniel Bailey as Yusse Both's training partner, and the two have a very good relationship.

It's quite rare for Eusse Bot to train seriously early in the morning as Daniel Bailey saw this morning, and it's no wonder he's so surprised.

In the field, a figure on the track quickly started from the starting block and ran wildly, soaring like flying, and the speed was amazing.

In just one or twenty seconds, the person who started the race had already circled the track for half a lap, and the strong wind swept by, and the image of the person crossed the finish line like lightning.

"Yusai, you're here so early today, it's not your style!"

Daniel Bailey looked at Yusse Bot and said hello with a smile, "Seriously man, didn't you say that you are on vacation, and you are ready to rest for a few days after participating in the World Championships?" ”

"No holidays, just went back and saw my mom and dad."

Yusse Bot took a long sigh of relief and reached out to touch Daniel Bailey, "Besides, Asafavir broke the world record again, which makes me feel like I might be able to run a little faster." ”

"You're fast enough." Daniel Bailey snorted, the news that Asafavil had broken the world record in the past few days has been reported again in Jamaica.

Although many people still criticize Asafavil for not winning a medal at the World Athletics Championships, the new world record at this time has at least made everyone a little less resentful of him.

In a sense, in fact, in the men's 100m race at the World Championships, Asafavir was fully capable of winning the championship, at least in the end, he lost mentally.

"It's not enough!"

Yusse Bot shook his head, "You move quickly, I'll continue training." ”

"Not really." Daniel Bailey knows a lot about Yusse Bote, and watching Yusse Bot uncharacteristically and completely immersed in the mental state of training made him a little unaccustomed.

Yusse Bor, however, ignored it and began to practice starting and speeding up over and over again.

His sheer height and size make him suffer the most in terms of starting and acceleration, and as long as these two points are combined, he has the confidence to compete with all the top athletes in the world.

At this point in time, the 2007 season was not over yet, and there were still many Grand Prix Golden Leagues, and the reason why he gave up and returned to Jamaica early was to start his training program.

Men's 100m training program.

If I hadn't stepped on the 100-metre runway, I would have been a spectator.

Now, here I am. I'm on the 100-metre track, so I'm on the same starting line, whether it's Jason Gaby, Yechin, or Asafavir, you're all going to be my opponents!

I'm going to run faster than all of you!

The 2007 World Championships are behind us, and for Yusse Both, there is only one goal left, the 2008 Olympics, the Olympics in Yenching!

That's where he once fell, and now he's going to get up and prove himself.
