Chapter 412: Liu Yangyu Arrives in Paris
"On June 15, at the Golden League in Oslo, Norway, our sprinter Ye Qin set another good result, breaking the Asian 100-meter record held by himself with a time of 9.93 seconds......
“…… At the IAAF Golden League Oslo station, Ye Qin defeated the world record holder Jamaica's Asafarville with a time of 9.93 seconds to win the gold medal......"
“…… Following the New York Grand Prix, Ye Qin ran 9.80 seconds in super wind speed, China's Ye Qin once again set a new Asian men's 100-meter record with a time of 9.93 seconds, which is also the top five men's 100-meter sprint in 2007......
……
"Ye Qin, your form this year is really a bit explosive, when you are at the World Championships, do you want to challenge for the two gold medals in the men's 100m and 200m, which is a feat that no one has achieved since Morris Green."
On July 5, on an outdoor track and field arranged by the French Athletics Association outside Paris, France, Liu Yangyu, who had just conducted several sets of 110-meter hurdles training, gasped for breath and looked at Ye Qin with a smile and said.
"I didn't dare to think about that." Ye Qin took off his coat, changed into a sprint suit that exposed his inside, and made a running motion with both hands and arms, and then continued to reply, "Asafavir is too strong, he was careless in Oslo, he didn't take me to heart, if he was serious, I would be able to be pulled away by the other party." ”
In the men's 100m race of the IAAF Golden League in Oslo, Ye Qin watched the video of the game in detail after the race, when he and Asafavir were far away from each other, Asafavil may have felt that the victory was in his hands, and obviously the last few meters were a little relaxed, and he seized the opportunity to catch up.
With Asafavir's strength at this time, as long as the opponent does not relax, this game can at least score 9.85 seconds.
"A little bit of confidence, I think you should be able to." Liu Yangyu patted Ye Qin on the shoulder and encouraged, "At the 05 World Championships in Helsinki, before you finally beat Jax Thelin and won the 200m championship, who would dare to believe that you could win the gold." ”
"Let's go all out." Ye Qin smiled, "It is not ordinarily difficult to compete for gold medals in the men's 100m and 200m events. ”
Although he won a game against Asafavir, Ye Qin had a clearer understanding of the opponent's strength, especially from the post-match video slow motion comparison of himself and Asafavil's handling of the details of the 100 meters, he was obviously a lot rougher than the opponent.
With such a god as Asafavir here, if he really wants to compete with Asafavil in the men's 100m event this year, he needs to further improve his 100m level.
As for Jason Gaby, the new leader of American sprinting who has clearly entered his peak form, his progress since the World Championships in Helsinki can also be said to be meteoric.
The results of the U.S. National Championships, which ended at the end of June, reached him, with Jason Gaby running an astonishing 9.84 seconds in the men's 100m, the second-best time in the men's 100m at the U.S. Championships after Maurice Green 9.82 seconds.
What's even more surprising is that Jason Gaby once again set a new personal best in the men's 200m event, running an astonishing time of 19.62 seconds, once again surpassing Wallace Spearmon's 19.65 seconds and Xavier Carter's 19.63 seconds, becoming the second best time in the men's 200m after Michael Johnson's world record of 19.32 seconds.
In the face of such a powerful two, even if Ye Qin has always been full of anticipation and excitement about fighting them, deep down he still has doubts about whether he can really defeat them.
"I'm very confident in you, you're not in any worse shape than them, didn't you run 9.94 seconds in the 100 meters in Athens the other day? You're under 9.90 seconds now, but it's missing the atmosphere of the competition. "Liu Yangyu and Ye Qin have known each other for a long time, and they know that Ye Qin's state generally needs to be up in the competition, the more enthusiastic the atmosphere is, and the opponent of the game is strong, the more Ye Qin can withstand the pressure and play well.
The men's 100m and men's 200m champions, the current Ye Qin must be qualified for this competition, and the men's 400m can also have the hope of winning a medal.
"I'm still hoping to be able to run a few more 100m races with Asafavil at the World Championships in Osaka and Jason Gaby, and we'll run a couple of 200m together, it doesn't matter if we win or lose, I can get in shape under their pressure. It's a pity that Asafavir didn't participate in tomorrow's Paris Grand Prix, and the organizing committee didn't set the men's 200m. ”
Ye Qin thought about tomorrow's IAAF Golden League Paris match, and spread his hands, a little helpless.
After the end of the Golden League in Oslo on June 15, he did not return to China, but has been resting in Europe, after all, he will have to participate in many European matches before the World Championships in Osaka.
In the men's 100m race at the Athens Grand Prix in Greece on July 2, Yechin faced similar opponents to the Oslo Golden League opponents, except that there was no Asafavil, but the appearance of Bahamian player Derek Atkins still made Yechin feel a certain amount of pressure. In the end, Ye Qin defeated the opponent with a time of 9.94 seconds and won the championship.
"By the way, when are you going to return home?" Liu Yangyu took a towel from the scene, and did not continue to talk about the following games, but asked about Ye Qin's itinerary.
"What about you?" Ye Qin did not answer, but asked rhetorically.
"Let's finish the big game in Sheffield on July 15th." Liu Yangyu thought for a moment, "Just like you, try to adjust your state as soon as possible recently." ”
Athletes' preparation for the competition is never just by training, but also needs to be continuously stimulated through a large number of competitions, so that the body and mentality can gradually adapt to the upcoming competition.
With the IAAF World Tour, six Golden League races, five Super Grands Prix and more than a dozen Grand Prix races, there is no year when there is no major tournament when the players are battling it out for the rankings. However, in the years of the World Championships and the Olympic Games, the athletes will not say that they will give up these competitions because of their physical energy, but will still compete with masters from all walks of life in these arenas, and gradually adjust their condition to the best through competition.
"Then I should be a little earlier than you, after the Golden League in Paris and the Super Grand Prix in Lausanne, I will go back first." Speaking of this, Ye Qin showed an embarrassed smile on his face, "Although Coach Yuan Guohua didn't urge me, I still have to go back as soon as possible and spare more than a month to train with the relay team."
At the Asian Games in December last year, with the help of Ye Qin's fourth baton, the Chinese relay team won the men's 4×100m relay championship and has already qualified for this year's World Championships.
Because Ye Qin has the world's top competitiveness in the men's 100m and 200m and men's 400m events, the head coach of the relay team, Yuan Guohua, did not force Ye Qin to stay in China to train for the relay race with everyone.
At this time, domestic athletes, Yang Yaozu, Gu Kai, and Wen Yongyi should be practicing hard, Ye Qin, as the fourth baseman, although he is only responsible for one baton, but he still needs to cooperate with the team.
