Chapter 119: 200m Final (Part II)
Thirty meters......
The 200m race has entered the final sprint!
The white finish line in front of you with the order of each course becomes clear in the orange track.
Thirty meters later, Ye Qin had already caught up with Jamal Ken, and the two were almost neck and neck, biting together.
This is the final sprint, and after Jamal Ken noticed that Ye Qin suddenly overtook him, he also mustered up the last strength of his body and rushed forward desperately!
He is now in third position, and the finish line is close at hand, if he is overtaken by Ye Chin, he is likely to lose his cards!
Twenty meters ......
Little by little, Yechin overtook Jamal Ken in lane 3, and he was still fast, maintaining his pace better than Yusse Bot and Mike Grant in the final sprint.
However, the 200-meter course seemed too short and the finish line was too close.
Yousse Bot in front, already close to the finish line, is getting closer and closer, just a few steps away.
With a fast cadence, amazing stride length, and still a very good ability to maintain speed in the second half of the race, Yusse-Bot is in the lead from the start of the acceleration!
10 meters, 9 meters, 8 meters......
At this time, the difference between Yechin and Mike Grant in second place was only half a meter, and Yusse Bot in front of him had almost reached the finish line.
In the stands, Ye Lidong, Zhou Bin and others seemed to have their hearts jumping out of their throats almost at this moment.
The 2002 World Youth Championships men's 200m won in 20.61 seconds, the winner of the IAAF Rising Star Award, and a talented teenager who ran 20.30 seconds in Montego Bay in February this year.
Ye Qin's talent is the best, and the results he has created since the World Junior Championships have been surprising, but the two never thought that Ye Qin could beat each other and win the championship.
But the current situation, especially the speed at which Ye Qin chased from behind, ignited the flames in everyone's hearts in an instant, and passion overflowed.
In particular, Ye Lidong and Zhou Bin have some coaches, they can understand this, on the track of the men's sprint event, many Chinese players in the world-class competition can not meet the training results, even if one or two can occasionally get lucky to participate in the preliminaries, but it is difficult to hear the second rematch gunshot.
Although the World Junior Championships is the same level as the National Indoor Track and Field Championships, it is only an eighth-level competition, but it is also a world-class competition after all, with more than 100 countries participating.
And Ye Qin, who was able to go all the way from the preliminaries to the finals under the condition that they were not optimistic, did he finish third in the 400 meters, and now in the 200 meters final, Ye Qin came later, from the backward position, to the sprint to the front to have the opportunity to compete for medals again, which has to make people's blood boil.
"Steady, steady, catch up, catch up!"
One thought after another, the Chinese team who noticed Ye Qin kept tumbling in their hearts.
The gap between Yechin and Mike Grant in front of him is getting closer and smaller, but the British player Jamal Ken behind him is also very close to the two, and at this last moment, as long as he is a little discouraged, he is likely to be overtaken by others.
This is the most crucial moment to compete for the top three and compete for medals!
Seven, six, five, four......
Rush the line!
The applause and cheers were all in one!
The men's 200m final of this group of athletes performed very well, especially Yusse Both, who was the first to cross the finish line, which attracted the attention of many people!
"Ye Chin, what is Ye Chin's score?"
At the moment when they crossed the finish line, all the members of the Chinese delegation raised their necks high and looked at the big screen on the other side.
Just in the last moments of the crossing process, Yusse Bot crossed the finish line first, his victory was certain, the lead was too obvious.
As for Ye Qin and American player Mike Grant, the distance between the two is too close, and because of the angle, the Chinese team cannot accurately distinguish who is first and who is next in the stands.
There is also the British player Jamal Ken in the third lane, it seems that when he finally crosses the finish line, the gap between him and Ye Qin is not big, and everyone dare not guarantee that when he crosses the finish line at the last moment, the other party will catch up!
The moment he crossed the finish line, Ye Qin only felt a huge exhaustion surging up.
Tired!
Tired like never before!
Compared to the situation when he was almost out of strength in the 400m final, he felt that his feet seemed to be able to stand at this time, but after the intensity was too great, he almost held his breath in his chest and couldn't breathe.
Although he has run 200 meters many times, both in training and in competitions, it is the first time he has run so hard.
And at this time, Ye Qin also saw Yusse Bote, who was ahead of him, and Mike Grant, the American player he still failed to catch up with in the end, and the two were also exhausted.
Such a high-intensity competition can be done by a teenager of this age, and he can run very good results, but it is still a huge test of physical fitness.
Running with full attention may not have been particularly experienced, but as soon as you stop and cross the finish line, the feeling of great weakness, soreness, and exhaustion rushes over you.
Next to Yechin, after crossing the finish line, Mike Folrant sat down almost directly on the somewhat wet track, and his group did not seem to have run as well as the preliminaries and semi-finals, but he did his best.
And the winner of the race, Yusse Bote, fell to his knees on the track at this time, gasping for breath, and although he looked tired, he leaned down and kissed the track in great excitement.
The results of the others are not yet known, but his victory was shown to everyone on the timing board on the spot.
Wind speed -1.1 m/s, time 20.40 seconds.
Even if it is placed among adult professional athletes, it is a very good result. The absolute strength of the championship is not at the same level as the other players present, including Ye Qin.
In other words, if this result is placed in Asia, it will not surpass him by more than five, and in China, it will directly be a new national record.
As many of the runners were almost exhausted as they crossed the finish line, a female volunteer from the University of Sherbrooke ran into the stadium and handed them a bottle of water.
Ye Qin took the water and didn't unscrew it, his body stood a little stiff, his breath was like a bellows, and he raised his head and waited for his results to be announced on the big screen at the scene.
Tick!
Sweat ran down his forehead and cheeks, and the fine mist seemed to be steaming with the heat emitted by his body before he could get closer.
Time has passed for many games, and Yusse Bot, who knelt on the ground and kissed the runway in front, has already stood up, and Mike Grant, who collapsed to the ground, also turned his head to look at the big screen at the scene.
Finally, on the big screen, the results of the players appeared one by one:
1. Fourth lane, Yusse Bote, Jamaica, reaction 0.171 seconds, time 20.40 CR (tournament record);
2. Fifth lane, Mike Grant, USA, reaction 0.150 seconds, time 21.04 seconds;
3. The second lane, Ye Qin, China, reaction 0.189 seconds, time 21.12 seconds;
4. Third lane, Jamal Ken, UK, reaction 0.172 seconds, 21.35 seconds;
5. Sixth lane, Danny Bailey, Netherlands Antilles, reaction 0.161 seconds, time 21.59 seconds;
6. Eighth lane, Graeme Ritter, Australia, reaction 0.185 seconds, 21.71 seconds;
7. 7th lane, Andrew Woodinson, GBR, reaction 0.161 seconds, 21.71 seconds;
8. First lane, Nelson Andre, Brazil, reaction 0.167 seconds, time 21.90 seconds;
"Third, third!"
"Ye Qin did a good job!"
"Another bronze medal!"
The Chinese delegation in the stands cheered after the results came out.
Ye Lidong and Zhou Bin hugged each other excitedly the moment they saw the results, and then shouted loudly to Ye Qin on the field.
So far in this World Junior Championships, not to mention other events, the results in the men's sprint track event alone have far exceeded the imagination of the two.
From the very beginning, he couldn't erase Nie Fangping's plea and agreed to Ye Qin to come to the World Junior Championships, and then he just hoped that Ye Qin could have a good performance and enter the semi-finals or something. And the return so far is two bronze medals, and two third places in the men's 200m and 400m at the World Junior Championships.
Although it is not a gold medal or the first, and there is still a gap with the top athletes, this is already the best result achieved by the Chinese team in the sprint track event.
