Kingston, Jamaica.

A newly renovated detached villa with a swimming pool.

"9.74 seconds, Ye Qin tied my world record?"

Asafavil muttered under his breath, as if he couldn't believe that when he woke up, he was about to share the world record with the others again.

The last time the men's 100m world record was shared was two years ago at the Doha Super Grand Prix, when it was officially claimed that Jax Thelin had broken his world record, but the IAAF corrected the mistake and Jax Thelin only equaled his world record.

Although the Jax Trinping world record was cancelled within a few games, he still remembers the feeling that his record had been broken or that he needed to be shared.

Although Asafavil himself knew that this day would come sooner or later, he was still full of reluctance when he really saw that his record needed to be shared.

At the beginning of the month, Yusse Bot ran the second-best time in history in the men's 100m with a time of 9.76 seconds, and he felt the pressure.

He is relatively familiar with Yusse Bot, mainly because he didn't expect that this 200-meter athlete, who is six or seven centimeters taller than him, really ran a time of 9.76 seconds after concurrently competing in the men's 100 meters, which had to make him feel the pressure of being overtaken.

As a result, before the next match of Yusse Bot began, the news of Ye Qin's world record had already come in Asia.

"Asafa, you need to take the time to devote yourself to the rhythm of training and make more reasonable preparations for this year's Olympics." Agent Dole sat on the other side of the sofa, looked at Asafavil and said with a worried face, "Your opponents have grown, and you will face more opponents in the men's 100-meter track." ”

Asafavil has faced Jason Gaby and Yechin before, even if they may not perform as well as them in the real big game, but they still hold a world record.

This proves that Asafavil should still be slightly better than others in terms of absolute strength.

But now, first Yusse Bot ran 9.76 seconds in the men's 100m, and then it was Yechin who equalled the world record for Asafavir.

And judging from the data released by the IAAF, Ye Qin ran a time of 9.74 seconds, and the wind speed of the downwind on the day was smaller than that of Asafavir, which means that in a sense, Ye Chin's result exceeded that of Asafavir.

"Yes, I knew I needed to start preparing for the Olympics with all my heart." Asafavir nodded, his face solemn.

The feeling of being tied for the world record this time was much deeper than the feeling he felt when he lost the World Championships.

He has been underwhelmed in major competitions, such as losing the men's 100m gold medal at last year's World Championships in Osaka, but he quickly made a name for himself with a new world record after the World Championships were not long in the end.

He is the fastest sprinter in the world!

But that is now a thing of the past.

His world record is no longer unique to one person, there is an athlete who is younger than him, who is in more stable form than him, and who has more major honors than him, who shares this world record with him.

He used to be able to face the support of many track and field fans and the media, but he is no longer alone.

Moreover, when Ye Qin had a world record of 9.74 seconds, plus the various honors won by the other party, he Asafavir was somewhat dwarfed by the other party.

"Then let's do it." The agent Dole is obviously also a little anxious, the first few months of 2008 have been quite difficult for Asafavir, and now he needs to quickly change this unfavorable situation.

"Well, Dole, I'll step up my own training." Asafavil nodded, he could hear the worry and anxiety in his agent's mouth.

In fact, as a professional athlete, Asafavir is also very sensitive to his fame and the benefits brought by fame.

Like he likes to modify cars, he needs to invest a lot of money in this every year, where does this money come from, or he needs to get it from various bonuses and advertising endorsements in competitions.

And once the world record he holds is shared by others, or even replaced, the intuitive feedback in terms of earnings will fall sharply.

"An Olympic champion, a world record, whatever it is, I want to have it."

Slowly getting up from the couch, Asafavir walked to the middle of the villa's pool and began to do a simple underwater workout, his pectoral muscle strain had healed a lot, but he still wanted a better way to train to be on the safe side.

……

"Jason, you just kept a little too much."

May 18, Carson, California.

The Adidas Track and Field Classic men's 100m race has just come to an end, and as one of the championship series events licensed by the United States Track and Field Association, the Adidas Track and Field Classic has always been regarded as one of the more well-known track and field events in the region, mainly from North America, Central America and the Caribbean.

"The winner is Jason Gaby!"

The radio at the scene shouted loudly the champion of the men's 100m race.

Standing near the finish line, Jason Gaby waved to the spectators, chatted briefly with a reporter on the sidelines, and quickly prepared to leave the runway.

On the sidelines, Lance Brauman stood next to the track and field, looking at Jason Gaby who walked off the field, his brows frowned slightly, his expression seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and his tone was a little solemn: "Jason, you need to go all out to run a race, run a result that is enough for your supporters to gain confidence." ”

"I've already won." Jason Gaby was a little unimpressed, "I don't think I have to be under 10 seconds on the track to win in 10.05 seconds, right?" ”

"It may not have been necessary before, but now Lance and I think you should have an all-out performance." Jon Drummond followed Lance Brauman and said equally seriously.

As a partner, the two have been training for Jason Gaby in recent weeks, and according to their original plan, they wanted Jason Gaby to gradually win the championship through low-level competitions, gradually adjust their form and accumulate game wins.

When it came time for the Olympics, it was just enough to adjust Jason Gaby's form to the maximum. This is also the preparation method that many of the world's top athletes often use in major competitions such as the Olympics and World Championships.

But this preparation plan has been affected by the previous Jamaica International.

Yusse Bot ran a time of 9.76 seconds, putting a lot of pressure on a large number of top sprinters.

Even more shocking news came from the news of the Osaka Grand Prix in Japan, where Ye Qin ran a world record of 9.74 seconds, which made the two coaches basically unable to sit still.

"Yousse Bot is very good, Yechin is also very strong, but I don't think I'm worse than them."

Jason Gaby looked at the expressions of the two, but a faint smile appeared on his face, he knew the mentality of the two coaches at the moment, and the meaning of what they just said.

That is, Yusse Bot and Yechin ran under 9.80 seconds, which put unparalleled pressure on many American track and field people, and they all hope that at this point in time, Jason Gaby can break out and not let a Jamaican and a Chinese dominate the United States.

"But this way, Jason, will affect your image."

Jon Drummond naturally knows that Jason Gaby's recent races have basically been reserved, otherwise Jason Gaby will not only win in 10.05 seconds in this group of Adidas Track and Field Classic men's 100m races, let alone Davis Barton, who only won 10.06 seconds in 10.05 seconds.

Athletes just need an image, an image that can fight back against a strong opponent and run at the top of their game.

When Yusse Bot ran 9.76 seconds, the world was in an uproar, and many people who had never heard of the name went to know about it, but in just a week, Ye Qin once again tied the world record with a time of 9.74 seconds.

Such competitive and explosive news has almost excited many sports magazines and media outlets.

A competition against a strong opponent is the most suitable time to really attract people, and it is also the most suitable time to enhance the popularity and image of athletes.

"I see."

Jason Gaby looked at Jon Drummond and Lance Brauman and didn't continue to insist, but thought for a moment before adding, "At the Grand Prix in New York at the end of the month, I'm going to race with Yusse Both, and although I wasn't in the group, I could run a little better. ”

"It's the best!" Lance-Brauman nodded.

This year is an Olympic year, although there are still a few months before the Olympic Games, but at the IAAF, all the good players have begun to gradually show their strength, competing for beauty, as the current leader of the United States sprint, Jason Gaby's performance is still very able to attract people's attention.

……

Port of Spain, the capital and main port of Trinidad and Tobago in the southernmost part of the West Indies, is a beautiful garden city by the sea and a deep-water port. It was once a Spanish colony more than 400 years ago, hence its name. Port of Spain is located on the west coast of Trinidad Island in the West Indies, at 11 degrees north latitude, and happens to be the center of North and South America, so it is called the "center of the Americas".

Hasli Crawford Stadium, one of the largest stadiums in Port of Spain, was officially opened in 1982 and was named after the country's first Olympic gold medalist, Hasli Crawford, by the Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago in 1996.

At this time, in the Hasley Crawford Stadium, several athletes who are about to compete in the men's 100m race are joking with each other and chatting happily.

Jason Gaby praised Usse Both's speed and skill and said that his improvement was so noticeable that it was no surprise that he was able to perform so well in the 100m......

Michael Johnson watched the race and was shocked by the speed of Usse Bott in the 100 meters, but Euse Bot's coach Glenn Mills still believes there will be more to come......

Daniel Bailey dragged his long voice and stood among several athletes from Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago, exaggerated to learn to broadcast and emphasise, saying in a weird voice.

Yusse Bot reached out and grabbed Daniel Bailey's head, rubbed the other party's somewhat thinning hair vigorously, and then grinned: "Daniel, you are making me make a fool of myself, I can't listen to it anymore." ”

"Oh no, Yusse, how can I make a fool of you, I'm clearly just telling you about the things that are most praised and concerned about you."

"Then why don't you talk about it, another one." Yusse Bot rubbed Daniel Bailey's shoulder, his broad palm did not let go at all, and said with a bitter face, "Yusse Bot created the world's second best time of 9.76 seconds, but soon his old opponent, Ye Qin, who created the miracle of the yellow race, announced to the world with a world record of 9.74 seconds, who is the one standing at the top......"

"Oh oh......" In the crowd, several Jamaican athletes and Trinidad and Tobago athletes laughed along with it, "Yusse, this imitation of yours is much better than Daniel." ”

"That's right, Yusse, you made me feel the sour feeling of being snatched away from me even if I ran 9.80 seconds as an athlete, but this limelight was robbed of me less than a week ago."

Today is a pan-Caribbean regional athletics event, much lower than the NACAC (North American, Central American and Caribbean Athletic Association)-licensed Jamaica International and Adidas Athletics Classic.

However, Trinidad and Tobago, as the most developed and wealthy country in the Caribbean, is comparable to many regional competitions in terms of prize money, even if it is a low-level competition.

So it's still very attractive to athletes from many Central American countries such as Jamaica and the Bahamas.

The main reason why Yusse Bot and Daniel Bailey came to Trinidad and Tobago today to participate in this track and field event is that the prize money is relatively large, if there is no shortage of money, Yusse Bot will not particularly want to participate here, the main reason is that the level of the event is relatively low, and there are no particularly top athletes.

Several people laughed and teased for a while, and soon the men's 100m race will begin!

Yusse Bot stood in front of the men's 100m starting line, looking very calm, and now he was much calmer about the men's 100m race than he was when he ran 9.76 seconds at Kingston National Stadium.

In particular, when he ran 9.76 seconds in just a week, Ye Qin returned the color with 9.74 seconds, which really made him feel that even though there was a gap of tens of millions of miles, there was still invisible gunsmoke between the two.

"In this game, should I give it my all or ......"

With the sound of 'on your marks' on the sidelines, Yusse Bot slowly leaned over the runner, wondering if he should go all out to challenge the world record of 9.74 seconds held by Yechin and Asafarville.

But soon, before he could be completely sure whether he was going to make some reservations, the gunshots of the game on the sidelines had already sounded.

Yusse Bot was slightly stunned, feeling that the runners around him had rushed out of the starting line, and in his heart, he couldn't help but relax.

Think no more!

In this little race in Port of Spain, God didn't give him a perfect start, and he wasn't ready for it!

Then take the championship!

With the sound of swift footsteps across the track, Yusse-Bot was almost all behind in the first seventy or eighty meters, until he suddenly came out in the last ninety meters, outpacing everyone else in the group.

9.92 seconds!

After running across the finish line, Yusse-Bot took a look at his own results, which were not bad, after all, the start acceleration was delayed for too long.

"Next up is the New York Grand Prix! Maybe I should have another good fight! ”

Looking at the time mark of 9.92 seconds on the time card, for many sprinters, this result is already amazing enough, but for a genius who ran 9.76 seconds in the third race, it was really just a casual run.

All he thinks about now is the world record of 9 cents and 74 hairs, and there are only a few people who can be regarded as fast as him.

This year is the Olympics, and the finals are still a few months away.

But their game, in fact, has already begun!
