Stuttgart, Germany, 10 September 2006.

In the Gottlieb-Daimler Stadium, which was attended by more than 50,000 people, applause and shouts followed.

Originally built in 1933, the Gottlieb-Daimler Stadium is an extremely historic stadium that was renamed the Gottlieb-Daimler Stadium in the late 80s and early 90s of the 20th century after extensive renovations with funding from Daimler. The stadium is located next to the Mercedes-Benz headquarters and factory, and will be renamed the Mercedes-Benz Sports Center again in 2008.

The stadium has hosted many major athletics events such as the European Athletics Championships and the World Championships in Athletics, but in 2006 it was probably better known as one of the main venues for the 2006 World Cup.

At this time, in front of the finish line of the men's 200-meter race at the Gottlieb-Daimler Stadium, a black man with a well-proportioned and athletic body like a cheetah-like raised his hands in the air and gestured to the crowd of spectators on the sidelines.

The IAAF World Athletics Finals men's 200m champion had just been born, and the reporters who had been waiting on the sidelines for a long time almost all jumped over the barrier as soon as the game ended, ran into the stadium quickly, and took crazy photos of the black man who had just won the championship.

In the 2006 season, from Stockholm to London, from Brussels to Zurich, after a lap in Europe, a name resounded in the world of athletics, Jason Gaby, another sprint star of American track and field.

Ye Qin sat in the audience and watched the stadium track, Jason Gaby won the most important IAAF event in 2006, his ecstatic expression, and an indescribable sense of crisis surged in his heart again.

A week ago, he picked up Chen Zixi at the airport, and then took him to register at Mizuki University, arranged the dormitory, and simply walked around Mizuki University for a day. Then, Ye Qin followed the people in the track and field team and soon set off from China and flew directly to Stukart, Germany.

In the World Athletics Finals, Ye Qin only participated in two Grand Prix this year because he was preparing to switch to the men's 100-meter event and preparing for the World Youth Championships.

In the IAAF World Tour, the winner of the Grand Prix level is awarded 10 points, and other athletes can receive between 1 and 8 points depending on their position. And six Golden League and five Super Grand Prix games have earned twice as many points as the Grand Prix.

In addition, the prize money of the IAAF World Athletics Finals is quite objective, with the champions, runners-up and third places reaching 30,000, 20,000 and 12,000 US dollars respectively, and breaking the record can receive a bonus of 100,000 US dollars.

There is no Jax Thelin, but there is Jason Gaby, there is Asafa Weir, and there is no shortage of top sprinters on this world stage.

The last time he was in China, Ye Qin heard Xavier Carter run the second best time in the history of the men's 200m in the Lausanne Super Grand Prix of 19.63 seconds, and Jason Gaby ran a personal best of 19.70 seconds, which has made Ye Qin feel that his opponent is constantly improving and getting stronger and stronger.

After all, Jason Gaby Yechin is quite familiar, has been in contact with each other, has participated in competitions together, and knows that the other party has such potential and strength.

And Xavier Carter, this athlete he had no impression of before, came out of nowhere and ran the second place in the men's 200m in history, he couldn't help but be surprised and shocked.

In the men's 200m race at the IAAF Finals, Ye Qin watched Jason Gaby run a time of 19.68 seconds, which was Jason Gaby's personal best after 19.70 seconds, and at the same time, the time of 19.68 seconds was also the third best time in the history of the men's 200m. Jason Gaby became the third-fastest 200m sprinter with Frank Fredericks of Namibia.

The result of 19.70 seconds was never thought of before 2006. After all, in the previous two years, except for Sean Crawford, who ran a time of 19.79 seconds at the Olympics, the other 200m runners were far from this time.

And Jason Gaby, who ran 19.70 seconds and 19.68 seconds twice in a row this year, is more influential than Xavier Carter, who ran 19.63 seconds.

In yesterday's men's 100m, Jason Gaby finished third in 9.92 seconds, won by Jamaica's Asafaville and runner-up by Leonard Scott.

In the men's 100m after Jax Thelin's ban, Asafa Will's family dominated the men's 100m event, with almost no opponents at all. In the Zurich Golden League in August, Jason Gaby ran a personal best of 9.84 seconds in the 100m, but this could have been a World Olympic victory in the past, and he still couldn't beat his fellow Asafa Weir. Asafa Weir equalled his own world record twice with a time of 9.77 seconds in the Zurich Golden League.

To a certain extent, Ye Qin also suddenly felt that the competition and rhythm of the Zhengtian world seemed to have suddenly accelerated, and in 03 and 04, he remembered that basically whether it was an international competition or something, it had been in a relatively flat period.

But after 2005, it seems that the players from all walks of life have grown rapidly, and there is a strong feeling that a new era has arrived.

In today's IAAF World Finals men's 200m race, in addition to Jason Gaby winning the championship in 19.68 seconds, the runner-up also had a very good result.

The runner-up was Wallace Spearmon, who ran 19.88 seconds, and after the race, Ye Qin could see that Wallace Spearmon seemed to be a little unwilling about his form and performance.

Yechin had heard that Wallace Spearmon and Jason Gaby were training partners, and in the men's 200m, Jason Gaby had always been slightly inferior to Wallace Spearmon, but this year Jason Gaby exploded, and it can be said that they began to surpass Wallace Spearmon in the right way.

Similarly, Jason Gaby surpassed Yechin.

After winning the men's 200m at the World Championships in Helsinki last year, Ye Chin's fame and ranking are far greater than those of Jason Gaby, and the heavyweight awards are often the most important. However, this year, under the successive achievements of the two, at least this year's performance Ye Qin is far inferior to the two for the time being.

As for the third place in the men's 200-meter race, Ye Qin is even more familiar. Eusse Bot finished third with a time of 20.10 seconds, although there is still a slight gap between Euse Bot and Wallace Spearmon and Jason Gaby and Wallace Spearmon, but Ye Qin can see that Yuser Both, who has not participated in many competitions this year, seems to be getting better and better.

"Jason Gaby should have climbed to the top of the 200m after this final, right?"

Just as Ye Qin was looking at the top few figures in this competition, comparing his own results, and feeling a lot of pressure, Liu Yangyu, who was watching the game with Ye Qin, suddenly spoke.

Ye Qin did not participate in the IAAF World Finals, but Liu Yangyu did, and in the men's 110m hurdles event yesterday, Liu Yangyu defeated Cuba's Robles and American veteran Alan Johnson to win the championship in 12.93 seconds.

In 2006, there was no doubt that Liu Yangyu was also a very successful year, winning the men's 110m hurdles at the IAAF World Finals without a major multi-sport event and breaking the world record at the Lausanne Super Grand Prix in July.

"I'm afraid it's not just about the points in the 200m event." On the other side, Coach Sun Chaosheng looked at Jason Gaby in the arena, and his eyes also showed a little appreciation, "Jason Gaby's ranking in the men's 100m event is probably also in the top two and three, and when the total points ranking at the end of the year is in the top three, I am afraid it will also be the top three." ”

According to Coach Sun Chaosheng's estimate this year, Liu Yangyu finally won the first place in the men's 110-meter hurdles standings at the end of the year, and he may probably get the top eight or so in the total standings.

Jason Gaby, on the other hand, could finish top or even top two in both the 200m and 100m by waiting until the rest of the IAAF World Cup finals and a few other IAAF Grands Prix events are over.

To be able to have such a high ranking in both disciplines is very rare for a sprinter.

It can even be said that Jason Gaby became the fastest runner in the world this year, 2006. His next goal is to win a world record and a major title, and if he can win that, he will really cement his place on the international stage.

Of course, in a sense, Asafa Weir has been in surprisingly good form this year, winning almost all of the men's 100m titles in the Golden League of Grand Prix. At the point of Jax Thelin's suspension and departure, even with Jason Gaby as a strong challenger, Asafavil still firmly cemented his position at the top of the rankings.

"Ye Qin, it's time to come on!" Sun Chaosheng got up and patted Ye Qin's shoulder, and said lightly with an encouraging smile on his face.

At the end of the last game, many spectators in the audience gradually stood up, and Ye Qin also stood up, looking at Jason Gaby who was being interviewed in the arena, Ye Qin nodded slightly.

It really deserves to be pushed a little harder!

On the stage of this international arena, several sprinters who appeared this year are amazingly strong, and it feels as if they are still newcomers this year, bringing surprises and surprises to other runners, and in turn, in the second year, there will be newcomers who will also bring shocks to themselves.

The world is too big, even if he has a men's 200m champion at the World Championships in Helsinki, but in the face of this endless stream of talented athletes, it is completely not enough.

……

On the other side of the stands, Asafa Weir, who was also paying attention to the men's 200m final, did not leave after many spectators got up and left after the race, and occasionally glanced at Jason Gaby who was being interviewed in the middle of the field.

"Asafa, I suggest you cancel next week's IAAF World Cup." By Asafarville's side, Asafarevill's agent Dole, looking at Asafavil with a changed expression, spoke again to persuade.

Dole is Asafavil's agent, and since Aszafavir broke the world record last year, he has marketed Asafavil in the media, made a name for himself, and created a great momentum against the Jax Terling duo.

After Jax Thelin left the ring this year due to a drug ban, Asafavil was arguably on top of his game, leaving no more of a threat to him.

However, in August and September this year, this good situation was gradually broken by another American player.

Jason Gaby has broken the 10-second mark in the men's 100m this year, including a few races of 9.88 seconds and 9.84 seconds.

"That's why, Dole, you know, I'm not afraid of a challenge." Asafavil looked at Jason Gaby in the arena with a burning flame in his eyes, "I won him in yesterday's game, I was first, he was third, and I will continue to win the next game." ”

In yesterday's IAAF World Finals, Asafavil won the championship with a time of 9.89 seconds, and Jason Gaby was third in 9.92 seconds, and he has not lost a single race against Jason Gaby this year.

"I'm looking out for you."

Dole shook his head, he and Asafavil have known each other for many years, and he knows a lot about the mentality of the top sprinter under him, I don't know if it was because it went too smoothly all the way, or because he lacked luck in several international competitions, in a sense, Asafaville's competition mentality is not good.

When facing a player who is not as strong as him, Asafavil has the psychological advantage to be able to perform at his best, but when he encounters a player who can compete directly with him and is likely to beat him, Asafavil seems to be less stable.

This is one of the reasons why the conversation with Jax Turling has been delayed again and again, and the match that had decided that the two would face off at the London Super Grand Prix, Asafavir's mood was a little up and down.

It wasn't until Jax Thelin was unable to compete due to the outbreak of the banned drug scandal that Asafaville's constant tension was suddenly relaxed, and several Golden League games and yesterday's finals were extremely good.

However, with Jason Gaby's unrivalled performances in the men's 100m and men's 200m, the opposition has taken a toll on Asafavil's position, and now that Assafavir is still strong, he knows that there is a good chance that Asafavir will make mistakes when he faces Jason Gaby in a certain match.

As an agent, in the face of such a situation, he also has to give priority to Asafavir, after all, this year Asafavir is unbeaten in 22 consecutive men's 100m races, and seeing that the season is coming to an end, in the last few races, he does not want Asafavir's golden body to be broken and lose to others. This would also greatly reduce the commercial value of Asafaville.

Thinking about this, Doler continued, "You can participate in the 4×100m event, but I will announce tomorrow that you will not participate in the men's 100m competition at the IAAF World Cup next week, which is a decision made by your coach in May. ”

"Dole ......," Asafarville said and stopped.

Dole waved his hand, "That's it, Asafah." ”

Competition in individual events naturally causes some doubts, but in group events, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, and you don't need to bear the pressure alone.

"There is also the Morikai Grand Prix on September 23 and the Yokohama Grand Prix on September 24, and we chose the Yokohama Grand Prix as the last race of the season."

Agent Doler went on to say that there is a slight conflict in the timing of the last two Grand Prix races in Asia this year, Jason Gaby has already chosen the Shenghai Grand Prix, and Asafavil is naturally unlikely to meet if he wants to avoid Jason Gaby and remain unbeaten for the year.

"In the eyes of outsiders, I am cowardly."

Asafavil was unhappy and avoided Jason Gaby for two games in a row, which made him a little unhappy. If it was Jax Thelin last year, he wouldn't say anything anymore, after all, the opponent is strong and his form is stable.

But Jason Gaby, a newcomer who has only switched to the men's 100m this year, is not afraid of Asafavil even if he has performed well in the men's 1200m this year, he has won several races, and he believes he can continue to win.

Doler smiled and shook his head, "Asafa, this year will be like this, you don't have to continue to worry about this." If you want to beat the other side, you have a chance at next year's World Championships.

I would like to announce that you chose the Yokohama Grand Prix on 24 September because of your coach's desire to compete in the men's 100m and men's 200m at the World Championships tomorrow. So you need to go to Japan to gain some competition experience and experience the climate and environment of Japan in advance. ”
