Chapter 294: 400m Preliminaries!

Syllable!

A crisp shout of the starting gun rang out.

In the stands of the Olympic Stadium in Helsinki, the spectators, who had just fallen silent, suddenly erupted in loud cheers.

As the host of the two World Championships in Athletics, Helsinki has a strong track and field atmosphere, and the public is also very enthusiastic about hosting the World Championships.

At this moment, even though it is raining in the stadium, as long as the players are still on the field, the crowd has been applauding and cheering for these athletes from all over the world with great enthusiasm.

After the sound sounded, Ye Qin quickly rushed out of the starting line.

With a big, powerful stride and plenty of acceleration, he has clearly put a lot of effort into the first half of the start compared to his previous 400m run, which is now running 400m.

This good start and acceleration training is one of the reasons why he has been able to break through again and again in the 200m event.

Yechin was in lane seven, and after accelerating from the start, he could clearly feel that Canada's Tyler Christopher, who was running in lane eight, was starting fast.

Although he doesn't know much about this player, as long as he can be valued by Randy Hunter and talk to him alone, Ye Qin believes that the opponent's strength will definitely not be weak.

On the stage of a large arena, it is rare to have a major tournament that has never been participated in, and suddenly goes from obscurity to the international stage.

Players who can stand on the top stage of the competition have basically participated in various international competitions to a greater or lesser extent, and their personal bests, season performances, age potential, injuries, and even recent mentality will be analysed and understood.

Even Ye Chin, who had already competed in the World Junior Championships and the World Junior Championships before last year's Athens Olympics, won two silver medals and two bronze medals in both events.

For athletes in competitive sports, in addition to a lot of training, the most important thing is competition. From low-level to high-level competitions, in the face of players of different levels, continuous competition, continuous stimulation, step by step, it is possible to climb to the highest podium.

Liu Yangyu won the Olympic championship and became famous all over the world, but it only refers to his popularity in the face of the public outside the international athletics arena. Prior to that, he was already a regular at the IAAF Grand Prix, Super Grand Prix and Golden League, winning various championships, runners-up and third places, and in 03 he had already won the third place in the World Championships.

For the public, Liu Yangyu won the championship at the Olympic Games for the first time, and for the international track and field, for the men's 110m hurdles event, he had already reached the level of a top star long before he won the Olympic gold medal.

The same can be said of Canada's Tyler Christopher, who is now facing Lane 8, who looks like he is unknown but is already the Canadian men's 400m indoor and outdoor record holder and has already won the NACACU23 Championships in 2004.

In addition, Australia's John Stephenson, who won the men's 4×400m at last year's Athens Olympics, helped the Australian relay team win silver in the event.

After the start, Ye Qin could clearly feel that Canada's Tyler Christopher in lane 8 was a little faster than him in the first 100 meters.

Despite the pace, it is impossible for everyone to fully sprint at the fastest speed of more than 100 meters in the first corner, but the speed of the other party is still very fast.

At the end of the first corner, the difference between the eight players on the field has begun to shorten because of the number of forward stretches, and at this time, the individual speed ability shown by the players after entering the field can also appear in front of everyone more intuitively.

Although the positions in the front and back are different, it is clear that Australia's John Stephenson in lane 4, Yechin in lane 7 and Taylor Christopher in lane 8 are clearly much faster than the others.

In the blink of an eye, the first straight was over, with Tyler Christopher in lane 8 taking the lead into the second corner, followed by Yechin......

Tyler Christopher has been feeling a lot of pressure in the run, he is the eighth lane, and there is no competitor to refer to in the first 300 meters because he has been running in front.

Originally, he wanted to control his speed properly, run the first two corners and straights without hurry, and then measure his position according to the last eighty or ninety meters.

He knows his current level, and he has been able to run 45 seconds in the 400m in the previous domestic and North American games, and as long as he does not make major mistakes, there is absolutely no problem in advancing to the 400m semifinals.

But when he tried to control his speed in the first half of the race, he could always feel the threat behind him.

In the seventh lane, the Asian player kept chasing very closely.

In such a situation, he didn't dare to slow down if he wanted to, after all, he was the eighth way, and he couldn't completely judge his position in the group.

If Lane 7 catches up with him at the front corner, and Lane 7 isn't as fast as the rest of the group, it means he's at least in third or even fourth place.

And the stable number of places in the group is the top two, so he has not dared to relax, and can only continue to accelerate under the pressure of Ye Qin.

200 meters...... At 250 meters, Ye Qin could feel that the speed of Taylor Christopher in lane 8 had been extremely high, and he also raised the speed with his new rhythm.

He has been working with Randy Hunter on the 400m pace since returning home from the New York Grand Prix, and he is not too slow in the first half of the race, at least not slower, but faster than the rest of the group, not much different from Tyler Christopher in lane eight.

And when it reached the distance of two hundred and fifty meters, Ye Qin began to gradually accelerate, according to the rhythm he had mastered now, the first half of the race was not slow, and at this stage it was time to start exerting his strength.

The 400m heats were also a test for him, and he focused his training on the 400m for several months.

300 meters, 310 meters......

The second corner goes into the straight!

Tyler Christopher in lane 8 suddenly felt the Asian player in lane 7 next to him at this time, and completed the overtaking of him the moment he entered the straight.

The two of them basically maintained a small speed difference in the front of more than 300 meters, and in the last distance of more than 80 meters, Ye Qin surpassed him with a strong sprint in the second half.

The spectators in the stands couldn't help but cheer again, just like the 400-meter races they had seen before, the positions of the players at this time were the most real and clear.

On the same straight, there is no difference in the number of stretches, and all the competitors compete for victory and defeat in the end, and everyone can see the change of position.

"Ye Chin, come on!"

The moment he entered the straight, Yang Yao, who was standing on the sidelines watching Ye Qin's game, couldn't help but shout.

Although he knew that Ye Qin at this time might not be able to hear his cheers, his heart still could not hide the boiling blood.

In the world's top arena, Ye Qin and Liu Yangyu are currently the only ones who can take the lead in the men's sprint sprint event, even in the preliminaries, and hit the first and second place in the group.

And Ye Chin's 400m run is really like he did in the 200 meters heats, he took the lead when he entered the straight, he has been training with Ye Qin in the recent period, and he understands Ye Chin's 400 meters very well.

This is also the reason why Ye Qin is reluctant to give up the 400m event at this World Championships and focus only on the 200m event.

obviously has that strength, but for the sake of insurance, no one wants to give up one. But it's a safe approach, after all, this is an international arena, and I'm afraid many athletes will make a choice in the event of a conflicting schedule.

However, even so, the 400-meter level that Ye Qin showed at the moment still made Yang Yao feel a little shocked. Compared to the past, Ye Qin was seriously suppressed in the first half of the 400-meter event, and only relied on the second half to catch up.

Ye Qin is undoubtedly at a better pace now, giving full play to his 200m level in the first half of the race, and after the second corner, his superb cornering technique and ability in the second half can also allow him to maintain an excellent speed in the sprint.
