At this time, the situation in the arena has changed dramatically.

At the end of the first corner, the first 100m was completed, and Jamaican veteran Michael Blackwood in lane 2 gradually overtook him, while Andrew Luke in lane 3 and Raune Merritt in lane 6 were slowly coming up.

Although the advantage may not seem huge, it is enough to make people look at this group of players whose average strength has reached the current world's top standards.

As Yechin entered the first corner into the straight, he was firmly behind Jamaica's Michael Blackwood in lane 2.

The other party is a famous player full of honors, a two-time World Championships runner-up, a men's 400m champion at the 03 World Athletics Indoor Championships, and a gold medalist in various IAAF competitions.

But since Ye Qin started, except for the first few tens of meters, he has not been pulled down by the other party, but has a faint feeling of approaching the other party.

In terms of the men's 200m score alone, Ye Qin is not inferior to the other party, and there is still some exceedance.

However, because of the slow start reaction and acceleration at the start, as well as his inherent problem of controlling the rhythm of the first half of the 400m run, he has always been relatively conservative and even relatively slow in the first half of the 400m event.

In this group of men's 400 meters, the first half of Ye Qin's race was completely different from the past, he changed the previous running method of carefully controlling the rhythm of the first half, but it was quite a bit of a let go.

At Baylor University, in the men's 400m test that day, Michael Johnson hit the nail on the head with his problem, running too close and deliberately controlling too carefully in the first half.

Why not let go of some running?

Yechin has been thinking about this question for a while, and this is also a problem that Randy Hunter has been thinking about, Yechin's existence.

In his senses, Ye Qin can run 46 seconds in the indoor 400 meters, and the outdoor 400 meters will reach at least 45 seconds, and even 45 seconds is not impossible.

A large part of this problem is the problem of Yechin's own rhythm, physical fitness and speed distribution.

In this group of races, Ye Qin let go of his controllable rhythm and raised the speed of the first half of the race, although it was not as good as when he ran 200 meters, but basically reached a very amazing level.

So much so that at this moment, many spectators watching the game on the sidelines were a little surprised.

The Asian runner ran so fast in the first half of the race, and he was in the first lane, not only was he not pulled away by many famous players such as Michael Blackwood and Andrew Luke, but also had a faint tendency to catch up.

Many people have a question in their hearts, maybe this Asian athlete is just running hard in the first half of the race, but this is 400 meters, and if the first 200 meters are too fast, he may not be physically fit in the second half.

Many of the spectators who were willing to watch the competition were familiar with the athletics program, and many in Athletics City and the University of Oregon even tried to run 400 meters and knew the physical and speed distribution involved.

Ye Qin didn't think about what others thought at this time, he just felt that he was very comfortable running, and he didn't deliberately think about controlling the rhythm and pressing his speed in the first half of the race, at this moment, Ye Qin even faintly felt that he had broken free from the shackles of the cage.

Straights into corners.

Eight runners galloped.

The outermost runners in lane 8 and lane 7 have already taken the lead in the corner because of the advantage of the number of stretches, followed by the athletes of the other lanes entering the corner one after another.

When Ye Qin entered the corner, he had already adjusted his movements early.

In the 400m or longer middle distance races, athletes need to be vigilant when entering the straight corner, and the more they can maintain their rhythm and level to run, the more they will be able to dominate the corner.

Ye Chin's cornering technique itself can be regarded as one of his best running skills, and as soon as he enters the corner, he is instantly like a fish in water.

The difficulty of running the inner road is actually greater than that of the corner runners, because of the arc, in the telling run, the outer runners are relatively easy to adjust, while the inner road will have a certain sense of crampedness.

However, Ye Qin was able to connect perfectly in the 400-meter indoor race, and the corners in the outdoor race did not slow him down.

250 meters...... 270 meters...... 290 meters......

On the second corner, this time entered the stage of the most fierce competition among the players.

In the 400m, the 250m is the dividing point between a top 400m athlete and a regular 400m athlete.

Because most of the men's 100m and men's 200m runners may be faster than the 400m runners in the first half of the race, the first 100m, the second 200m, and the 400m runners can't win the first two, but once they start from the 250m, this is the stage where the 400m athletes really exert their strength, and it is also the stage that is different from the first two sprint events.

The ability to maintain speed is not particularly outstanding in the top 100-meter events, and the importance of extreme strength can be seen in the 200 meters, and entering the stage of 250 meters is that athletes basically accumulate physical speed in the first half of the year to reach a critical point, and begin to enter the stage where strong speed and endurance are required to run.

If it is not a special 400-meter athlete, when it basically reaches 250 meters, the speed will inevitably slide down quickly, and the body's lactic acid accumulation and feeding ability will present a serious problem from this distance.

At this time, Ye Qin, who was in the first lane, felt that the speed of the runners around him had declined to a certain extent.

The athletes in the second and third lanes still maintained a certain corner advantage with him, but the Jamaican Brandon Simpson in the fourth lane, Ye Qin already vaguely felt that the opponent was in a horizontal position with him in the corner.

The two were separated by several paths, and in terms of the number of forward stretches of the curves, Ye Qin had already thrown off the other party at this time, and there was already a distance of one or two meters.

As the players got closer to the second corner into the straight, many American spectators at Hayward Stadium felt as if they had seen a ghost.

Some even rubbed their eyes, not quite believing what they were seeing.

In this group of competitions, four athletes from the United States, two athletes from Jamaica, one athlete from Grenada, and one Chinese athlete from Asia.

If the American athlete can still accept the loss to the Jamaican athlete, who is also black, now there is the Asian athlete who ran in the first race on the field, and he is not left behind by others at all, and even faintly runs in front, which really makes many people unbelievable.
