Chapter 490: Two World Records

Standing on the starting line of the men's 100m lane 4, Ye Qin looked very calm, and although it was his first time competing in the city of Ostrava, he was already a veteran of the competition.

It has been five years since he first set foot in major international competitions in 2003, and in five years, he has gone from an obscure rural hairy boy to the world's top sprinter.

In the middle of this, it can be said that he has read about it most of the time in the track and field field. Not like most of my peers, who have a lot of buddies and laugh and play on campus, but train and train day in and day out.

This is an inevitable process of athlete growth, no matter how talented and capable you are, but if you want to grow from an ordinary person to a world-class sports superstar, you need to have such a process of continuous improvement, polishing, and forcing yourself to improve.

According to Xiushui's algorithm for calculating imaginary years, Ye Qin is 21 years old this year, and he is a real adult, and when he broke the men's 100-meter world record this year, the light of light at that time almost made the whole world notice him.

However, it was a short time, and before the news of his breaking the world record could spread, his record was broken by another Jamaican who was only a few months older than him.

Twelve days have passed since the New York Grand Prix set a new world record on 31 May.

Now, Ye Qin felt that it was time to reclaim the world record again.

Although the Olympics are not too long away, he knows that he can't wait, and he can't let go of the feeling that he needs to get back and prove himself so that he doesn't have to be ridiculed as a world record that has only been held for less than a week.

"Yousse Both, you should be in the stands, right?"

Thinking of this, Ye Qin unconsciously raised his head and glanced towards the spectator stands at the Ostrava City Stadium.

The audience is not very large, but because of the seating design of the venue, it still looks dense and compact, and Ye Qin has no way to see Yusse Bot in the audience at a glance.

However, it didn't matter, he knew that the other party must be watching him at this time, just as he had just watched Yusse Bot's men's 200m race.

It was the first time this year that Yechin had seen Yusse Bot run the 200m, and he was surprised by the result, which he lost to Yechin and Jason Gaby in the men's 200m event at last year's World Championships.

At that time, Yechin won the championship in 19.69 seconds, Jason Gaby in 19.75 seconds, and Yusse Bot in 19.91 seconds. Although Yusse Bot lost that race, Ye Qin probably knew that Yusse Bot could run under 19.90 seconds in the men's 200 meters at that time, and the opponent had already broken the Jamaican national record shortly before the World Championships.

But when we saw Yusse-Bott in the 200m race again, the speed, cadence, explosiveness, and self-confidence were like two people. Throughout the race, although all but one of Zimbabwean runners, Brian Dasingei, played well, the rest of the competitors were not at the level, but Yusse Bot was almost thirty or forty meters ahead, and then all the way far away from the other opponents, and at the beginning of the 150 meters, he was almost running with inertia.

Rao ran down at such a casual pace, and his score reached 19.83 seconds, which can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, which is that Yusse-Bote's personal strength has reached a very strong point, and he almost can't suppress it if he wants to keep it.

Ye Qin couldn't help but be a little impressed by Yusse Bote's performance, since the end of the World Championships in Osaka last year, more than half a year has passed strictly speaking, and Yusse Bote's progress has almost improved by leaps and bounds in this more than half a year.

While Ye Qin was sighing, in fact, many people present were also sighing Ye Qin.

Since winning the men's 100m and 200m championships at last year's World Championships, Ye Qin has shown strong enough strength at that time, but after more than half a year of winter training, he has made amazing progress.

At this time, on the big screen at the Ostrava City Stadium, the list of runners in the men's 100m race of the last Grand Prix has appeared in front of more than 10,000 spectators.

1st Lane, Modeo Kovinica, Slovenia;

second lane, Lucas Milo, Czech Republic;

third, Derek Atkins, Bahamas;

Fourth, Yechin, China;

Fifth Lane, Brian Dasingei, Zimbabwe;

Sixth Way, Michael Rogers, USA;

Seventh Lane, Simone Nicolio, Italy;

Eighth Lane, John Capel, USA;

Among the eight competitors, Slovenia in lane 1, Brian Dasinge in lane 5, Michael Rogers in lane 6 and John Capel in lane 8 have already competed in the men's 200m. In addition to signing up for the men's 200m event, several people also participated in the men's 100m event this time.

Ye Qin didn't pay much attention to the opponents in this race, and most of the competitors present were familiar to him, including Derek Atkins in the third lane, who was a rising star in the men's 100m event in 2007.

In many major competitions, he followed Asafavil and ran under the 10-second mark many times. At the World Championships in Osaka, he also finished fourth in the men's 100m.

However, in 2008, Derrick Atkins did not perform as well as he could have done this season, and this season Derrick Atkins has competed in quite a few races, but has not been able to break the 10-second so far. Compared to the strong momentum of his '07 season, it was like a different person.

This is also the norm for sprinters in athletics, many athletes will encounter a season of explosive form, but basically only for a short moment, and then basically reduced to a more ordinary member.

Like the athletes who can really dominate a certain sport, after all, there are still a small number of athletes.

……

"I don't know what Ye Qin will do in this race?"

In the position of the media area of the audience, Zhuang Wei next to Chen Zhongzhou looked at the game scene a little nervously.

"If you want to break a world record, you have to break a world record!" Zhuang Wei had a lot of sweat on his face, his hands were folded, his lips moved lightly, and he kept muttering silently.

Although he is only in charge of physiotherapy, as a member of the team, his importance is not at all below that of Chen Zhongzhou, the assistant coach.

As long as Ye Qin has training and competitions, he is the last person he can leave.

Although the physiotherapist does not follow the athlete in every game, many times in some important competitions, the athlete will bring the physiotherapist with him to prevent muscle injury before and after training and competition.

For example, Jimmy Warner, the first person in the men's 400m the year before last, was in China to participate in the Shenghai Grand Prix, but because the physiotherapist was not there at that time, his muscles were stiff, which eventually led to the Jimmy Warner race only going on to the general reluctance to quit.

This made Yechin one of the few races in the men's 400m to beat Jimmy Warner.

This year, Ye Qin equaled the world record at the Osaka Grand Prix, and broke the world record at the "Good Luck Yanjing" Grand Prix, and Zhuang Wei was not present at both races. One time was to only go to Japan to compete, and he didn't follow, and the other time was a domestic competition, and he had already completed physiotherapy in the training bureau.

As a result, he didn't feel that he played a role at the critical moment in two competitions that were tied to the world record, and he was always a little unhappy in his heart.

On the one hand, the team asked to prevent Ye Qin's injury, and on the other hand, it was also his own vanity, wanting to see if Ye Qin could play exceptionally in this game.

But now, he's particularly hungry for Yechin to break the record......

Chen Zhongzhou sat next to him, staring at Ye Qin on the field with blazing eyes, and did not answer Zhuang Wei's question. The opponent in this game is little of a threat to Yechin, and the only one who can be considered a strong player, Derrick Atkins, has been mediocre this season and has not been taken seriously.

He was also a little nervous in his heart, this game was a rare match for Ye Qin with a record-breaking utilitarian mentality, and the internal and external pressures were there, making him a little nervous and didn't know if Ye Qin could do it.

After the sprinter's performance and level reach a certain level, he can basically run as much as he wants.

But this is premised on being at the limit speed. Athletes like Yechin, Yusse Both, Jason Gaby and Asafavir can basically control their time when they are stable, around 9.95 to 10.20 seconds.

Of course, it is not necessarily and accurately, and the results will fluctuate. But when it comes to the extreme results that you need to give your all, it's hard to say.

So far, there are very few people who can run into 9.90 seconds in the 100-meter race, and there are only a few people who can run within 9.80 seconds.

In 2006, after once again undoing his best to equalize the world record, Asafavil was bent on breaking his world record of 9.77 seconds in the next Golden League, and after careful reserves, Asafavil felt that he was at his best. The Brussels Golden League on August 25 was a match in which Asafavir was preparing to break the world record.

As a result, in that race, the starter's gun fired too fast for Asafavir to react, and although he won the race, he lost the chance to break the world record.

Therefore, sometimes the world record, for an athlete, is not necessarily created if he wants to, this is the ultimate achievement on behalf of himself and on behalf of mankind, even if there is such an ability, but it also needs some objective conditions to be born.

And there is another important reason why the two are so nervous, a reason why it is not very comfortable for Chinese.

In the men's 110m hurdles race just 20 minutes before the men's 100m race, Dai Long Robles broke the world record of 12.88 seconds set by Liu Yangyu in Lausanne in '06 with a time of 12.87 seconds.

In less than a month, the two world records set by Chinese track and field athletes have been broken one after another!

This is a kind of self-confidence frustration for everyone who is about to usher in the Yenching Olympics.

And now, all this pressure falls on Ye Qin!

This time the Grand Prix of Ostrava has already set a world record!

Will he be able to set a new world record again?

……

β€œOn your marks!”

On the field, a burst of players with Eastern European Czech flavors sounded in place.

Ye Qin slowly adjusted his breathing, looked up at the finish line in front of him, and then landed his feet on the pedals of the running aid.

In this men's 100-meter race, whether he can really run a good result or even break the world record, he is actually not particularly sure in his heart.

It's just that he knows that his current state is still very good, he has not participated in many competitions this year, although he has been training, but his physical fitness and competition condition are actually very good.

This is due to the support of the track and field team, as well as his own good life and training habits.

Liu Yangyu's men's 110 Milan world record was just broken, and when Ye Qin heard the news, he really felt that he and Liu Yangyu were brothers. The world records held by each other are all in less than a month, no, they have been broken in less than half a month, which is not pleasant.

However, Liu Yangyu's world record has been held for almost two years anyway, and his is only one week......

Thinking of this, Ye Qin felt as if there was a strong emotion in his heart, wanting him to vent frantically.

But as an athlete, he has been through all kinds of big and small competitions, and he has been able to handle his emotions very well. The more critical it was to the tournament, the more he was able to hold on.

At this moment, other miscellaneous thoughts had gradually been eliminated from Ye Qin's mind, and he now only had one thought left, listen to the gunshots, and then run out quickly.

The crowd at the Ostrava City Stadium has become quieter, and although there are still occasional whistles, the crowd has generally begun to remain quiet and try not to interfere with the players' performance.

β€œSET!”

When the sound of preparation sounded, in front of the starting line, the eight runners got up in unison and made a squatting start.

Ye Qin almost stopped breathing at this moment, just waited silently.

Syllable!

A crisp match gun rang out.

Suddenly, Ye Qin only felt that his body seemed to be at the moment when the gun rang out in the game, and the muscle strength of his whole body exploded at this moment.

Pedal hard with both feet on the runner, and the whole person almost ejected out like a rocket.

Perfect starting reflexes!

At this moment, Ye Qin felt that his start was very good, and as he became more and more proficient in the start and the first half, his ability in this area has become stronger and stronger.

10 meters ...... Ye Qin is slightly ahead of the other players by half a position compared to the others, which is not very much.

His starting reaction was fast and his start was strong enough, but at this stage, Ye Qin put more time on the contact between the soles of his feet and the track, and the contact time was more sufficient, so that his body could gain more kinetic energy in this short ten meters.

Ten meters later, Ye Chin's body gained a stronger forward propulsion force, the contact time was decreasing, and the speed gradually increased.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the likes of Usse Bot and Glenn Mills, who had been sitting in the stands, stood up at some point.

After the race gun rang out, Yusse Bot looked at Yechin in front of the starting line, and his expression suddenly became nervous.

"Perfect start!"

The thought swelled up in Yusse Both's mind at this moment, Ye Qin's starting action at this moment was almost as good as the best races he had ever watched in Asafavil, like a textbook, his body strength was completely exploded, his movements were stretched and powerful.

Michael Rogers of the United States is a small athlete who has always been dominant in his races with his starting speed, but at this moment, the past was completely overshadowed by Yechin.

Twenty meters ......

Ye Qin has begun to take a position ahead of Derrick Atkins, the strongest player in the group, and is getting faster and faster, and everyone seems to feel the pressure at this moment.

At a distance of just twenty meters, everyone was still in a parallel line, but at this time, someone stood out from it and surpassed others, even if it was not observable, just a feeling was very clear.

Thirty meters......

The acceleration phase is over, and in the eyes of many spectators, Yechin is beginning to have a clear lead, and it is expanding further.

Forty meters, fifty meters, sixty meters......

Derrick Atkins, Brian Dasingai, and John Capel, who are among the strongest athletes in the group, were a little shaken in their self-confidence at this moment.

Fast!

It's really fast!

It's only 30 meters!

Derek Atkins and Brian Dasingai, who were on Yechin's left and right, clearly felt that Yechin's strength was not at the same level as them.

It's as if you're not competing with other athletes, but with a powerful sports car.

The powerful force suddenly accelerated, and rushed out from their side at once.

At this time, the audience stood up in an uproar.

Over the course of the Golden Spike's history, many world records have been set, such as the men's and women's 100 meters, the 10,000 meters, the pole vault, and not long ago, the men's 110 meters hurdles world record was broken here.

At this moment, all the audience in the venue faintly had a sense of anticipation, looking forward to the birth of a new miracle.

Seventy meters, eighty meters, ninety meters......

Ye Qin was on the camera on the big screen at the scene, and at this moment, he was already alone. Eighty metres later, he was several metres ahead of Derek Atkins and the music was going to expand.

Everyone's eyes widened, they saw that Ye Qin was far ahead, crushing the others with an absolutely powerful strength, and now it was time to wait for the final results.

Ninety-two, ninety-five, ninety-eight......

Rush the line!

On the yellow timing board near the finish line, a set of numbers appears in everyone's eyes.

There was a slight silence in the stands of the spectator at first, and then thunderous shouts and applause erupted.

9.70 seconds!

A new world record!
