"19.58 seconds, Jason Gaby is menacing this year!"

On the afternoon of June 10, 2009, at the track and field field of the General Training Bureau of the National Sports Bureau in Yanjing, Ye Qin, who had just finished running a group of men's 200 meters, stood on the edge of the field, drinking mineral water in small sips, and heard Yuan Guohua and Chen Zhongzhou discussing the situation of this year's international athletics world.

So far this season, Yechin and Usse Bot have neither raced in the men's 200m, but the current best time in the men's 200m of the year naturally falls to Jason Gaby in 19.58 seconds.

"His unexpected defeat in the Olympics last year will not be less pressure than other athletes, and as the current sprinter in the United States, he still has to save face in American track and field to some extent."

Chen Zhongzhou said with a slightly solemn expression next to him, Jason Gaby and Asafaville were both born in 1982, and are now at the peak of their careers.

"Yechin, what do you think of Jason Gaby this year?" Chen Zhongzhou said, glanced at Ye Qin next to him, and asked with a smile.

Although these coaches have an understanding of such a player, in the final analysis, they are still not as intuitive as a player like Ye Qin who has played head-to-head in the arena.

'Jason Gaby is a worthy opponent and with his character, he's definitely going to give it his all this year.'

Ye Qin put down the mineral water in his hand, thought for a while, and then replied, "His skills have been improving in recent years, and his personal strength is also improving, and in this year's World Championships, if nothing else, he should have a very good performance." ”

For Jason Gaby, Yechin still admires it.

The other party is another key figure in the rise of American track and field after Jax Thelin, and he is absolutely top-notch in terms of talent and strength. Since he entered the international athletics arena in 2005 and became a professional athlete, it is not a long time to count, but he has been making rapid progress almost every year.

Moreover, Jason Gaby is different from his previous Asafavir, a determined fighter who may suffer from a strong opponent in his mentality, but it will never cause him to be out of shape in a big way.

In 2008, it was probably known before the game, Jason Gaby was affected by injury, but even so, he still stood bravely on the field, and at the end, he did not retire or give up.

After the U.S. team was eliminated in the 4×100m relay race, he stood up for Davis Barton to block the media's criticism and took the responsibility on himself.

In this sense, Jason Gaby's commitment and courage are extraordinary. For an athlete to become world-class, in addition to individual talent and hard work, the inner strength must not be ignored.

"By the way, how are you ready?"

After talking about Jason Gaby, Yuan Guohua pouted and asked about Ye Qin's recent preparations.

It has been a week since the Asian Athletics Grand Prix, and in this week, except for a few small events, Ye Qin basically spent most of his time training according to the plan on the training bureau's side.

"Ready...... Ye Qin dragged his voice slightly, "It feels okay, but I still have to play to find the feeling." ”

Although the atmosphere of the three stops of the Asian Athletics Grand Prix was very good, Ye Qin still did not feel so satisfied after the competition, and the most important point was that there was no stimulation from a strong opponent.

This is also his characteristic, the more big the tournament and the more he is challenged by strong opponents, the more he is able to stay focused and face it in the best and most complete condition.

"Then I'll go to Berlin in a few days, but there is one thing, I have to pay attention to this aspect in the future." Yuan Guohua nodded, and then instructed again.

Ye Qin nodded, the matter of rushing is really a big problem for the athletes, the IAAF on the "zero rush" plan has come out, although it has not been implemented this year, but the calculation time is about half a year later, in 2010 will officially begin.

This is not so good news for sprinters, there are not many tactics that can be adopted in sprinting, and a chance to run is a way for many runners to fight. Moreover, you may be able to eliminate a strong opponent and finally improve your ranking.

Like Ye Qin, he didn't pay much attention to this aspect before, he was a runner who listened to the gun, but after being punished for the Yanjing Olympics, he still had more or less lingering palpitations.

In this kind of large-scale event, the eyes of the crowd, under internal and external pressure, will still leave an indelible impression, although Ye Qin rarely talks about this, but occasionally wakes up in the middle of the night, he will also think of it.

In a few days, Yechin was going to Berlin to compete, and it was still June, not the World Championships. The World Championships will not be held until August.

Ye Qin went to Berlin this time to participate in the IAAF Golden League Berlin station, because Berlin will host the World Championships this year, so the original Golden League time in August and September has been more than two months earlier.

This is also for the sake of the tournament arrangement, and the Berlin Golden League can attract a lot of attention from the crowd before the World Championships, as well as attract some top athletes who want to adapt to the venue in advance, but if it waits until the World Championships, there is no doubt that the attraction of this Golden League will be greatly reduced.

One of the biggest reasons why Ye Qin went to Berlin to participate in the Golden League this time was also to adapt to the venue in Berlin in advance, he participated in many matches in Stuttgart, Germany, but there were still relatively few in Berlin.

While the three of them were chatting on the sidelines of the training ground about the other players and the upcoming matches, a pleasant mobile phone rang suddenly.

Yuan Guohua touched the left and right of the wide sportswear, took out a mobile phone and pressed the answer button, and soon Yuan Guohua's face changed from calm to excited, and he also glanced at Ye Qin, with indescribable exclamation in his eyes.

Waiting for Yuan Guohua to put down the phone, Chen Zhongzhou and Ye Qin both asked with some curiosity: "Coach Yuan, what's wrong?" ”

"Go, go, come back to the bureau with me."

Yuan Guohua was so excited that he grabbed Ye Qin's arm, and said to the two who didn't know where he was as he walked, "Lawrence, the Laureus World Sports Award winners have been announced. ”

"Really?" Chen Zhongzhou followed behind and couldn't help shouting, "Who won the award?" ”

Ye Qin was also slightly stunned at this time, and raised his head to look at Yuan Guohua.

The Laureus World Sports Awards, known as the "Oscars of sports", are only the tenth idea since their inception, but their impact is clear.

"Let's go back first." Yuan Guohua shook slightly at this time, "Their awarding team has arrived." ”

"Huh? People are coming. Chen Zhongzhou screamed.

When Ye Qin heard this, he suddenly felt that his heart suddenly pounded and accelerated, and he was vaguely looking forward to it, but he was afraid that it was not he who won the award in the end.

When he faces outsiders, he can say that it is relatively easy, and if he can't do it this time, then the next one. But when it really came to this moment, I realized that my heart was far from being as calm as I imagined.

This is not a competition for the championship in one or two events, but a competition for the most outstanding athletes in all the sports in the world. To be honest, the difficulty of winning this award is much more difficult than winning an Oscar or other comparable awards.

At the Laureus World Sports Awards in 2008, Yechin and World Footballer of the Year Kaka, Flying Fish Phelps, Tiger Woods and others all lost to tennis king Roger Federer.

Yechin's impressive results in the 1,200m and 400m silver at the 2007 World Championships were impressive, but his defeat to Roger Federer was expected.

Even when he knew that he was nominated, he didn't think too much about it, and he didn't have any advantage over other nominees.

The Laureus World Sports Awards 2009 recognise individuals and groups with outstanding sporting achievements between 1 January 2008 and 31 December 2008. With Ye Chin's performance, compared with the previous selection, his results are undoubtedly better.

When it comes to the Best Athlete award, Yechin is well aware that both Eusy-Bott and Phelps are his rivals.

Phelps, in particular, lost to Yechin in the men's 100m, the most crucial event at the Yenching Olympics, and has since performed worse than Yechin in several races in Europe. In this respect, Yechin is more competitive than Yusse Both.

But in the face of Phelps, he set an unprecedented record at the Beijing Olympics, behind the eight gold medals is to break 7 world records and 1 Olympic record, although the 4x100 freestyle relay final is Phelps's almost defeat, and the 100 butterfly final The strange underwater photography makes people doubt the content of this gold medal, but his overall performance is undoubtedly wonderful.

Cristiano Ronaldo, the new double footballer, and Hamilton, the youngest ever F1 world champion, are both very competitive athletes.

Ye Qin even faintly felt in his heart that there should be little hope this year, and he might have to run with him for another year, and the other party's eight gold medals were by no means comparable to him.

But even if you can't get it individually, it's nice to have the best team to get it. After all, the award team has arrived in Yanjing, and it will definitely not be for nothing.

……

In the evening, in the press conference hall of the General Administration of National Training, the background board of the Laureus Sports Awards and various promotional posters and roll-up banners were temporarily hung, which made many reporters who received the notice feel a different atmosphere.

Due to the impact of the financial crisis, the 2009 Laureus World Sports Awards did not have a general award ceremony, compared to last year's award ceremony in Moscow, Russia, *** attended in person, there is no doubt that it is not a little bit inferior.

But even so, on the side of Yanjing, the domestic attention has still reached a very high standard, and the award ceremony organized is still very grand.

Deng Yaping, the first generation of table tennis demons, took the stage to preside over the award ceremony, first introduced the origin and importance of the Laureus Sports Award, and then the official award ceremony began.

When Cui Dailin, secretary general of the Yenching Olympic delegation, received the trophy from Edwin Moses, president of the Laureus World Sports Association, the audience burst into the warmest applause.

The Chinese Olympic team won the 2009 Laureus Team of the Year Award for their outstanding performance at the Beijing Olympics. At the Yenching Olympics, the Chinese Olympic team achieved the best Olympic results ever, showing skill and determination that amazed the world during the two-week Olympic Games.

After the best team award was awarded, many Olympic champions took the stage as gold medal all-stars, and one by one, the star athletes and the gold medalists took a group photo.

And at this time, many reporters who attended the meeting found something different.

"What about Yechin?"

In the crowd, many reporters looked at the athletes who took the stage to take photos with the best team trophy, and finally suddenly realized that they were missing the most important person.

Yechin, who won two gold medals in the Olympics, did not appear at the scene.

At this moment, many people are even wondering if it is because Ye Qin failed to win the best athlete and is not angry that he will not participate in the award ceremony for the best team.

After all, after the Asian Grand Prix, Ye Qin stayed in the General Training Bureau to train during this time, and many people know it.

Moreover, it is really very difficult to say that Yechin wants to win this year's Laureus Best Sportsman.

Phelps, who is a fourth-time finalist for the Laureus Sportsman of the Year, has been a testament to his performances last year, and even though Yechin broke the world record for the three most watched men's events in track and field by not committing a foul in the men's 200m, no one can ignore the difference between the three and eight gold medals.

After an Olympic gold medalist took a group photo with the best team trophy on stage, everyone thought that Deng Yaping, who was probably in charge of hosting, would give a speech, and that would probably end there.

But at this time, everyone found out that the award ceremony was not over.

Laureus World Sports Academy President Edwin Moses took out a card from his bosom again and announced the winner of the 10th Laureus World Sports Awards for Best Male Athlete in 2009 in full view of the audience.

"Ye Chin!"

When Edwin Moses pronounced the name without a voice, the audience fell silent at first, followed by a burst of applause.

The Laureus World Sports Award for Best Male Athlete wasn't revealed until this moment.

Phelps, Cristiano Ronaldo, Hamilton and Usher Both, among others, who were favored by the outside world, all lost to Yechin in the end.

After Edwin Moses finished reading the list of winners, the reporters present finally saw Yechin appear.

This time, Ye Qin did not wear sportswear like other athletes, but appeared in front of everyone in a black and decent suit.

The click of the shutter button The moment Ye Qin appeared, all the reporters' cameras were pointed at Ye Chin.

In addition to the best team accident won by the Chinese Olympic team this time, Chinese athletes have won the Laureus Award twice, that is, the best newcomer award won by Da Yao and Liu Yangyu in 2003 and 2005 respectively.

And the best male athlete in the real sense, until Ye Qin appeared at this moment, is really won.

When Yechin received the Cartier statue trophy from Michael Johnson, the previous generation of flyers, the whole person felt like he had won a gold medal.

He really didn't expect it at all before, until he returned to the training bureau, and was hurriedly pulled back by Yuan Guohua to freshen up and tidy up, before he learned the news of his award.

Ye Qin was a little surprised that he would win the Laureus World Sports Award, after all, he knew the difference and the weight of each other.

But later Yu Weili came over to give him a brief explanation, and he realized that he was able to win the award because of a lot of luck.

From the point of view of the organization of the Laureus Sports Institute, because it was founded by an American company, although in front of the two recognized kings of sport in swimming and track and field, the Laureus World Sports Institute has not shown any signs of contempt for either side in history, but since it is the financial support behind the American company, and Phelps's achievements can stand the test, it can be said that Yechin's initial competitive situation is not optimistic.

The real reversal came at the beginning of this year, that is, the British journalist exposed the footage of Phelps smoking marijuana, which caused a thousand waves with one stone, and the crisis public relations of the Phelps team has reached the limit, and Phelps's attitude of admitting mistakes is also quite sincere, but as far as the Laureus Award is concerned, he immediately slipped from the first favorite to the foil role of entering the shortlist even if the task is completed.

Former South African President Nelson Mandela said: "Sports have the power to change the world", as the spokesperson of this power, the image of top players should be positive, and it should be a positive and motivating effect to the society, not to mention that the people who are keen on sports are often some young people, and the words and deeds of the players have too much influence on these young people who are still very immature in the worldview. And when Phelps lifted the peng so naturally and casually, he was doomed to miss the Laureus Best Male Athlete award.
