“…… Ye Qin lay on the ground after crossing the finish line, and it could be seen that this 400 meters was very difficult for him! Whether it was a record-breaking in the semi-finals or missing the 200-meter final, Ye Qin was under great pressure in the past few days.

In recent years, Ye Qin has spent much less time in the 400-meter event than in the 1,200-meter event, which is a difficult option for top athletes to have both speed and explosiveness, as well as speed and endurance...... But Yechin did it and created a miracle in the history of human athletics. He became the first athlete to win two gold medals in the men's 100m and 400m at the same Olympic Games......"

The atmosphere in the Bird's Nest Stadium was completely boiling, and after a small twist in the middle of the 200 meters, people finally saw Ye Qin win the 400 meters again.

For many of the top athletes, an Olympic gold medal is a more important honor than a world record, because the record may only be temporary, and it will only be remembered at the stage when the record is held, and if someone breaks it again, it will gradually become history.

The Olympic champion is a fixed honor, and when someone mentions a certain event in a certain Olympic Games, the athlete's name will appear in people's eyes.

"Congratulations, Ye Chin!"

On the track near the finish line, Jimmy Warner looked at Yechin lying on the ground, stepped forward and reached out to pull him up from the ground.

Ye Qin gasped, and the sweat all over his body seemed to suddenly gush out in an instant, and the whole person seemed to be fished out of water, but Jimmy Warner didn't care, and still reached out and hugged Ye Qin gently.

He had strong expectations for the final winner of the men's 400m final, but when he really reached the second half of the race, he already felt that something was wrong.

In the last 150 meters, he did not play the second half of the acceleration that he used to be good at, because the front ran too fiercely, but he showed weakness.

On the one hand, Ye Qin broke the men's 400m world record yesterday and proved his strength in this event, and on the other hand, he did not appreciate the athlete Sean Merritt, no matter what the original intention of the other party was to step on the track and field field, he usually showed special arrogance.

This year, he still lost to Sean Merritt in the All-American Olympic Trials, and if the gold medal is won again by the opponent this time, then it is estimated that Merritt will be crazy and crazy.

"Thank you!"

After Ye Qin and the other party hugged gently, it seemed that after this short news, they slowly eased up. Feeling the feeling of a slight tightness in his lungs and even the feeling of wanting to vomit, he took a few long deep breaths before waving to the audience on the sidelines, signaling and expressing his gratitude.

At this time, through the large screen and TV broadcast screen, many viewers at the scene also noticed Ye Qin's state.

“…… Ye Qin seemed to be running a little hard in this group of 400 meters, and his body seemed to have not fully recovered for a while. The 400m race and training were very tough, and the 200m champion Yusse Bot initially wanted him to choose the 400m event, but Yusse Bot felt that the 400m was too hard and started the 100m ......"

Mu Jiang also saw it really in the media commentary seat, he has much more information than ordinary people, and naturally knows that Ye Qin is a little laborious to run 400 meters, don't look at the previous semi-finals to break the world record, but although there is only a day between the last game and this one, the gap in personal state is like a cloud and mud.

Of course, in fact, it cannot be said that the 400-meter Yechin is not in good shape, but compared to the semi-finals, it is slightly worse.

Moreover, it was not Yechin who had the real problem in this 400m final. It's Jimmy Warner.

The last Olympic champion and two-time world champion in the 400m appears to have seen a noticeable dip in form after a change of coach this year.

In fact, it is not a decline in form, in the semifinals, Jimmy Warner easily advanced to the final with a time of 44.15 seconds, and it can be said that the state at that time was no worse than Yechin and Sean Merritt.

It can only be said that it was probably because of the loss to Sean Merritt in the National Trials, or because Yechin broke the 400m world record earlier, Jimmy Warner adopted a different strategy in the final final than he used to run.

The first half of the race was so hard that he experienced a significant drop in speed when he entered the "Jimmy Warner Zone" that bears his name.

In the end, he entered the duel between Straight and Yechin and Sean Merritt, and was unable to catch up again. In the end, he still defeated other players and won a bronze medal.

However, the final score of 44.74 seconds, not to mention the gap with the champion and runner-up is almost a second, and even his performance in the semifinals is far from it.

Ye Qin stood on the track and took a few deep breaths, and soon other runners came up to congratulate him, but his eyes always glanced at Jimmy Warner, who left with sunglasses.

Since the birth of Jimmy Warner in '04, in just two or three years, the men's 400m event in international athletics has been dominated by him. He was also one of the winners of the '06 IAAF Golden League Million Dollar Award, and he almost won all the races in '06 except for the last Grand Prix in Shenghai due to injury.

And compared to Asafavil, the 100-meter flyer in the same time period, Jimmy Warner far exceeded both in terms of performance and personal honors, and the only thing missing was a world record.

And looking at the back of Jimmy Warner leaving, Ye Qin suddenly had a feeling that the king was over and the dynasty was over.

Of course, Jimmy Warner was born in '84 and is still in the prime of an athlete in terms of age, but I don't know if the opponent will be able to create brilliance in the future.

"Hey, Ye, I'll win it back next time."

While Ye Qin and the other players hugged each other to congratulate and thank each other, Sean Merritt, who won the runner-up on the sidelines, did not come forward to express his blessings.

just put a cruel word with a gloomy face, then turned his head, took the American flag from the staff, simply walked around for half a circle, and left in a hurry.

Shawn Merritt has always had mixed perceptions of Yechin, who won the 2004 World Junior Championships and although he has lost to the opponent in several subsequent encounters, Merritt has never considered himself inferior to Yechin in the 400m event.

He had already beaten Jimmy Warner in the Olympic trials, but Ye Qin broke the world record in the semi-finals, and in the final competition with him, he turned the tide and snatched the 400m gold medal from him.

When I thought of Fang Cai's game, Merritt couldn't accept it. He aspires to be the first man in the 400m, but after losing to Ye Qin at the '07 World Championships in Osaka and the '08 Olympics, he was so reluctant to accept the result that he didn't want to do the congratulations on the surface.

Yechin didn't pay much attention to Sean Merritt's approach, as is the case in track and field, some athletes are very competitive, but some are not.

After exchanging congratulations and thanks to the other players, Ye Qin took a few slow steps around the arena and gradually felt that he had begun to recover.

When he had just finished this 400-meter race, the feeling of exhaustion and overload made him feel uncomfortable. In the semi-finals, he didn't think too much about it at all, just focused on the game, his personal form reached its peak, and he didn't get too tired after running.

And this time, in the final, from the pre-game to the game, he had a lot of pressure, and he paid attention to the reactions of other players at any time, and the final sprint consumed a lot of physical energy.

This feeling of exhaustion is not only physical, but also psychological.

Fortunately, now that everything has passed, after walking a few steps slowly, and his face is not as ugly as Fang Cai, Ye Qin took a five-star red flag from the staff on the sidelines and draped it on his body, stood on the timing board and took a few sets of photos, and after going around the field to greet the applause and cheers of the audience, he left the arena first.

Tonight's men's 400m final is the penultimate race, and after the 400m, there is another exciting race – the men's 110m hurdles final.

At this time, the staff on the sidelines have begun to set up the men's 110m hurdles in the straight.

After Ye Qin came down from the field, he also did not leave the field, but sat down in the stands on the sidelines, quietly waiting for this men's 110-meter hurdles competition.

Liu Yangyu's previous three performances were quite surprising and brought strong confidence to many people.

Facing the challenge of the new generation of men's 110m hurdles world record holder Dai Long Robles, whether Liu Yangyu can win the championship again has also been a hot topic related to track and field events recently.

At 21:40 in the evening, eight men's 110-meter hurdles players appeared on the field, and the information of this group of eight players appeared on the big screen at the same time.

First Lane, Maurice Wignall, Jamaica;

Second Lane, Richard Phillips, Jamaica;

Third Path, Liu Yangyu, China;

Fourth Lane, David Payne, USA;

Fifth Lane, Dayron-Robles, Cuba;

Sixth Lane, David Oliver, USA;

7th lane, La Dégar Doucoure, France;

Eighth lane, Artur-Noga, Poland;

The men's 110m hurdles finalists were arguably the most spectacular in recent years, with Liu Yangyu, Dai Long Robles, David Oliver and Radgar Doucoure all running under 13 seconds among the eight finalists.

Among them, Dai Long Robles broke the world record of 12.88 seconds set by Liu Yangyu in this year's Ostrava Grand Prix with a time of 12.87 seconds, which can be called the favorite to win the championship this time.

However, although Dai Long Robles was favored before the game, Liu Yangyu also had many supporters, but people were still very worried that Liu Yangyu would not be able to play his full strength in this final due to the impact of previous injuries.

Like Jason Gaby, the American athlete who was previously favored in the men's 100m event, despite his amazing performance in the national trials, he was finally eliminated in the men's 100m semifinals due to injury and missed the final.

Ye Qin, who was standing in the stands of the arena, had already lost his calm side as an athlete at this moment, and like many other spectators, he looked at Liu Yangyu who was sitting in front of the starting line and was preparing, and his heart unconsciously lifted.

Watching the game is a completely different feeling from playing in the field, one is that you can only act as a spectator and have no way to control the game, and the other is that all the pressure and problems need to be solved and borne by yourself.

For Ye Qin, when there is an athlete competition that he particularly cares about, the idea that often comes to mind is to replace him.

He has always had high respect for Liu Yangyu and Ye Qin, and after participating in the Olympic Games for the first time, Liu Yangyu's gold medal in the men's 110m hurdles event gave him great encouragement.

This is the first gold medal for the Chinese track and field men's eye-catching, and it is a short-distance straight event, and it is precisely because of Liu Yangyu's example that Ye Qin believes that he can also run a good day in the sprint event.

This feeling is the same as breaking the 10-second mark, before Ye Qin did not break the men's 10-second mark, many people felt that Chinese athletes might not be able to do it, but as long as one person does it, when the latecomer sets the goal, it is naturally impossible to think that he can run 10 seconds 20 or 10 seconds 30 seconds to feel that he can dominate the country as before.

In the track and field, the competition starts soon!

After a gunshot, the top eight finalists on the starting line started quickly and rushed towards the hurdle in front of them.

Liu Yangyu's start is still very fast, but in comparison, after the start, although Liu Yangyu changed his technique, his explosiveness is still weaker than that of Dai Long Robles and David Oliver.

It's just that after entering the hurdles running, Liu Yangyu's speed gradually increased, and in terms of the current men's 110-meter hurdles event, Liu Yangyu is well-deserved the world's No. 1 in terms of hurdle technology.

The crowd was also excited after the gunshots rang out, and the timing of the several games tonight was very tight, which kept everyone's emotions high.

It seems that in order to digest the fact that Yechin won the men's 400m championship, the final of the men's 110m hurdles has begun again.

The first column, the second column, the third column......

Almost all the actions of the players in the arena fell into the eyes of everyone, and soon, from the third hurdle, the entire competition became a duel between Liu Yangyu and Dai Long Robles.

The other players were able to catch up with the two in the first three hurdles, but after the three hurdles, they were gradually pulled apart by the two.

In the blink of an eye, the ten columns ended.

Liu Yangyu and Dai Long-Robles sprinted towards the final finish line!

12.93 seconds!

On the on-site timing board, the champion of this group of men's 110m hurdles appeared.

Ye Qin watched the results appear, quickly raised his head and looked at the big screen, and at the last moment, Liu Yangyu and Dai Long-Robles quickly crossed the finish line, and he didn't see too clearly who was the first.

Not long after, Liu Yangyu's results appeared on the big screen at the scene.

12.95 seconds! Liu Yangyu won the runner-up! The championship was won by Dai Long-Robles!

After this result, the audience seemed to sigh with regret, but then the audience applauded again.

Everyone knew about Liu Yangyu's injury before the game, and he was able to fight Dai Long-Robles in such a situation, although he failed to win the championship, Liu Yangyu's performance was already blameless.
