Chapter 406: A Near-World Record

“SET!”

The prepared voice of the starter on the sidelines shouted.

At this time, the noisy and boiling arena was instantly quiet, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the track and field.

Five of the nine athletes in the New York Grand Prix are Americans, who are currently the most powerful athletes in American athletics. But even so, the challenges are daunting.

With Morris Green aging and Jax Thelin suspended, U.S. track and field needs a man to carry in the men's 100m, a talented athlete who can truly represent American speed.

Of these, there is no doubt that Jason Gaby is currently playing that role. In the men's 100m and 200m races, Jason Gaby's time has improved so much that he can compete with world record holder Asafavir.

But now, Jason Gaby lacks a convincing enough result to beat Asafavil in head-to-head action and fail to perform the feat of breaking the world record.

In this competition, many American track and field enthusiasts support Jason Gaby, hoping that he can make a big breakthrough in the men's 100m event this year, break the Jamaican domination, and regain his own glory.

In the past few decades, the men's 100m record has been left behind by other countries, the most recent being a brief win by Vaino Bailey in the 90s, but it was not long before Maurice Green regained the men's 100m world record.

The scene was quiet, but the tension in the air seemed to be as indissolvable as water, and it became more and more tense.

When Ye Qin got up and prepared for the starting position, all the distractions around him seemed to be discharged, and the whole person maintained a high degree of mental concentration, waiting for the upcoming gunshot.

What is the reason why athletes are most likely to run in the 100-meter sport, one is that running is one of the only few tactics that can be adopted in the sprint event, and the other is that when the athlete is highly nervous, it is easy to make some mistakes and disorders, and even auditory hallucinations.

Ye Qin got rid of this kind of distracting thoughts at this time, mentally focused but not so that he really lost control completely, his body remained tense but not stiff, and the short interval of a few seconds seemed to be very short, but in the feeling of these highly concentrated athletes, it seemed to be a little long.

Syllable!

Suddenly, a crisp gunshot rang out throughout Icahn Stadium.

Before the men's 100-meter starting line, nine runners started almost instantaneously and rushed out like sharp arrows.

In the stands that had just quieted down, a huge noise was heard at the same time, and many people who were paying attention to the game stood up and looked at the many players in the middle of the arena at this moment.

Ye Qin's feet stepped the pedal of the running aid, and then the strong reaction force, his body suddenly ejected, his feet had full contact on the ground, and every time he raised his feet at the start, his legs were not high off the ground, saving any little bit of time as much as possible, so that he could reach the extreme at the start. This is an explosive starting style, which requires a very high core muscle group of the body, but once it is used well, it can have a strong speed explosion ability in the starting stage.

From the time the gun rang out to the time he left the runner and began to accelerate, Ye Qin could feel that his starting condition was very good, and his starting ability in this area was greatly strengthened after a long time and a large number of repeated starting training.

Although the muscles are not as big as those of many European and American players in the field, when the body moves, the muscle lines are extremely clear, as if steel is cast in iron.

On the other hand, Jason Gaby's start was equally dissatisfied, after Jon Drummond's guidance, Jason Gaby's starting style was basically a heel not touching the ground, purely relying on the strong support of the forefoot, so that the reduced ground contact time allowed him to get enough starting speed.

However, while both of them had a perfect start, this was only relative to their own starts.

Of the nine men's 100m runners, two did not start at this time, with the first 10 meters ahead of the group being Derek Atkins of the Bahamas.

This year's new men's 100m athlete was surprisingly fast in terms of reaction time and acceleration after the gunshot, and his fast cadence allowed him to run first in the 10-metre or so of the start.

On the other side, Sean Crowder in lane 3 and Leonard Scott in lane 8 were not slow to start at all. Both are super muscular runners, and this muscular start in the first half of the race, which is in the same vein as Morris Green, makes for both men to start well.

Twenty meters, thirty meters......

The speed of the nine runners continued to increase, and at around 30 meters, Jason Gaby had begun to raise his head, and his body gradually changed from a forward posture to an upright state of entering the middle run.

Thirty metres ahead, Derrick Atkins edged out a position advantage, followed by Leonard Scott in second.

Jason Gaby and Sean Crowder remain in the second camp, with Yechin slightly half a body behind the two.

Although it seems that Ye Qin has not been able to gain an advantage, in terms of Ye Qin's technical characteristics, such a start and acceleration are already very good.

In the 100-meter race of the World Youth Championships and the 100-meter race of the Asian Games, Ye Qin's opponents at that time were basically players outside 10.20 and 10.30 seconds.

But in this group of nine athletes, basically more than half of the athletes are top 100-meter athletes who can break 10, and his ability to run such a speed in just 30 meters is already a great improvement and improvement.

Forty meters, fifty meters......

The speed of the nine competitors in the field is getting faster and faster, and Ye Qin is looking up at the time of 35 to 40 meters and entering the high-speed stage of running on the way, and he is rapidly increasing his speed.

In front of him, Jason Gaby and Sean Crowder are also fast and heavy, Jason Gaby is a runner in the middle and second half of the race, and he can fully exert his speed when he enters the middle run, while Sean Crowder is the leader of the middle run.

At the fifty-metre mark, Leonard Scott, who was running ahead, had already been overtaken by Jason Gaby and Sean Crowder, and the only person with a slight lead in front was Derek Atkins.

60 meters, 70 meters......

Jason Gaby is getting faster and faster, and as soon as he passes 60 meters, Jason Gaby overtakes Sean Crowder next to him and catches up with Derek Atkins, who is running in first place.

And Leonard Scott, who led well in the first half of the race, had his speed decayed by this time and was overtaken by Sean Crawford.

On the field, all eyes were on Jason Gaby and Derek Atkins, who were running in first place.

But just in the fifth realm, which everyone didn't pay attention to, Ye Qin entered the stage where he was completely fully able to exert his strength, and the super absolute speed was vividly reflected at this time.

Sixty meters, Yechin was still in fourth or fifth place, but after 70 meters, Yechin suddenly caught up with Sean Crowder, who was running in third.

Ye Qin's absolute speed ability has always been at the top, but in the men's 200m event in the past, it was basically after 80 meters that he was fully exerted.

In this men's 100-meter race, Ye Qin had already entered the high-speed stage after forty or fifty meters, and reached the peak of speed at seventy or eighty meters.

Eighty meters ...... Ninety meters ......

As we got closer to the finish line, the crowd stood up and looked at the men's 100m track, and everyone saw Jason Gaby show a blazing speed in this race, and after 70 meters he was firmly in first place, followed by Bahamian Derek Atkins, who also played perfectly in this race.

And Yechin, who was in the lead, was already neck-and-neck with Derek Atkins at 80 meters, and was frantically chasing Jason Gaby in front of him.

Ninety meters ......

Jason Gaby's face twitched and twisted, and for a split second, he almost felt himself running the fastest time since entering the men's 100m sprint.

The finish line is in sight!

Behind him, he could feel the pressure of Ye Qin in the fifth lane on the left, and the Chinese athlete, who was considered by Jason Gaby to be the strongest competitor in the 200m, felt a huge threat in the men's 100m.

Ninety-five meters...... Ninety-seven meters...... Ninety-nine meters......

Rush the line!

Before the finish line, the athletes crossed the finish line like a lightning bolt.

At this time, the men's 100m time has been played on the on-site timing board - 9.76 seconds!

9.76 seconds!

A new world record!

There were already cheers at the scene!

Since Asafavir set the world record of 9.77 seconds, someone has finally surpassed the world record set by Asafavil in the race!

Jason Gaby roared in anger and slapped his chest to vent the emotions in his heart......

He set a new world record of 9.76 seconds, one hundredth of a second faster than Al-Safaville's world record of 9.77 seconds, but one hundredth of a second is a world record.

Before the finish line, Yechin's chest and abdomen rose and fell violently, and looking at the excited Jason Gaby, it was a little unimaginable for a while.

In the New York Grand Prix, Jason Gaby was able to set a new world record!

Ye Qin stood in front of the finish line, for this match with Jason Gaby, although he already knew in his heart that he might not be an opponent, but when the result came out, he still couldn't accept it.

It's really just a little bit.

In the last few metres, Ye Qin could clearly feel that he was still a little bit short of Jason Gaby, and if the track could be extended by another ten metres, no, five metres, he could catch up with Jason Gaby.

It's just that this is the men's 100m race!

"I don't know what my running results are?"

The race has already been lost, Yechin is not too entangled, he has tested his strength in the men's 100m in this race, and may not be able to beat Jason Gaby, but definitely not too much worse than the opponent.

Jason Gaby ran 9.76 seconds, so he should be able to score 9.90 seconds!

"Congratulations, Jason!"

Yechin stepped forward to congratulate the excited Jason Gaby, and it was a rare experience for Yechin to be able to compete with a new world record setter anyway.

Although he couldn't beat the opponent, he saw the effect of his training, and he was confident in the 100m event at this moment.

There was a moment of jubilation on the field, and suddenly, the staff signaled that the game did not break the world record!

"Wind speed +2.2 m/s!"

In just a moment, Jason Gaby's face, who was still excited just now, instantly sank.

It's over the wind speed!

Also, a time of 9.76 seconds, although counted, is not included as a record-breaking time.

"Damn it!"

Ye Qin saw Jason Gaby flick his arm hard at this moment, a score of 2.2 m/s, and anyone who saw it would be depressed.

The IAAF's rule for scores is that the score produced within 2.0 m/s can be used as a record, and the score in the first race just exceeded 0.2 seconds/s.

If it was much higher, maybe Jason Gaby would not be so depressed at this time, but it is only 0.2 m/s, and a world record may not be able to run a few times in a sprinter's life.

At this moment, Ye Qin also felt a little sorry for Jason Gaby, being able to break a world record, this kind of achievement is really a great feat for an athlete.

Moreover, this also means that Ye Qin's performance in the men's 100 meters just now may only be regarded as a competition result, not as a personal best.

At this time, the men's 100m result also appeared on the big screen at the scene:
