Valencia, Spain, 7 March 2008.

In the Louis Pugue Stadium, there is a lot of people and it is very lively.

The 6,500 seats in the stands were now completely occupied by the enthusiastic Spanish crowd, and a loud noise rang out in the stadium from time to time.

The 2008 Indoor Athletics Championships are in full swing at the Louis Pug Arena, and the men's 60m heats are about to begin in the middle of the 250-meter stained concrete bike path.

In the bottom row of seats in the stadium stands, Yuan Guohua and Chen Zhongzhou were watching the upcoming game a little nervously.

Coach Sun Chaosheng, who was sitting next to the two, glanced at the two of them with some curiosity and asked, "I don't know what kind of results Ye Qin can achieve in the 60-meter run this time?" I've heard that your winter training in the U.S. has been very effective? ”

"It's very good." Yuan Guohua nodded, "You should have taken Liu Yangyu with you at the beginning, not to mention anything else, some advanced equipment and instruments, we still rarely see them." ”

"That was a missed opportunity." Sun Chaosheng replied with a smile, pointed to the track and field field, and continued, "I remember that Ye Qin has not run a few 60 meters, and his technical characteristics are also biased towards running in the middle and sprinting in the back, which is ...... if he fails to win the championship."

"Ye Qin has this pressure, but Liu Yangyu doesn't have it." Yuan Guohua shook his head with a smile and replied.

Internationally, the top sprinters who have already won the men's 100 and 200m world championships at the World Championships rarely return to compete in the men's indoor world championships.

Of course, this is not absolute.

It's just that the state and level of athletes, after reaching a certain level, basically go up, except for regular events, there are few that go down.

One is that although the 60-meter is also a sprint, if you lose, it will still hurt the fame of the 100-meter athlete who has become famous. Top athletes like Morris Green and Jax Thelin all competed before they won the Olympic title, or after one session, they won't compete again.

The inappropriate time is one thing, the most important thing is that the controllability of 60 meters is smaller than that of 100 meters, and if you don't pay attention to it, you may make a mistake and be overtaken by other opponents.

When Sun Chaosheng heard Yuan Guohua mention Liu Yangyu, he didn't speak again, and his thoughts were a little wandering and he thought of tomorrow's 60-meter hurdles competition.

The significance of Liu Yangyu's participation this time is naturally different from Ye Qin, Ye Qin is to test the success of his winter training, and he trains on behalf of the competition, and uses the men's 60 meters of the World Championships to see his ability to accelerate at the start.

Liu Yangyu is determined to win the 60m hurdles at the World Championships, and in the 60m hurdles at the 2006 World Championships, Liu Yangyu missed his most likely championship year because of an accidental injury after the Spring Festival.

This year is very important for Liu Yangyu, and from an athlete's point of view, it is even more important than this year's Olympic Games in Yanjing.

Because as long as he wins the men's 60-meter hurdles championship at the World Indoor Championships again, Liu Yangyu will truly win the grand slam of hurdles. World records, Olympic champions, world championships outdoor and indoor champions, such achievements are among the best in the world.

And this year, Liu Yangyu wants to win the men's 60m championship at the World Indoor Championships, which is the best chance, and it can even be said to be the last chance.

Liu Yangyu is 25 years old this year, and in track and field, especially in running and jumping sports, generally speaking, the peak state of athletes should be around 22-23 years old.

This is the age when it is easiest to produce good results, and then it becomes difficult to produce better results due to the accumulation of age and injuries. It's hard to say whether you'll be able to continue to be in good shape after the age of 25.

Of course, this is not absolute, but it is relatively the overall situation. Athletes like Carl Lewis, Morris Green, Alan Johnson, and others are basically this trait.

After that, it basically depends on the athlete's injury, condition, and the degree of maintenance of the individual's body.

……

In the arena, Ye Qin stood in front of the men's 60-meter starting line and exhaled softly.

Looking up slightly, he glanced at the entire Louis Pug Stadium, and the audience was boiling loudly, for track and field competitions, any sprint event is the most exciting competition.

Although the influence of the 60m is not as great as that of the 100m, and it is not even included in the outdoor competition, a top 200m athlete may not be particularly good in the 100m. But for a top 60m athlete, his 100m score will certainly not be bad.

The combination of speed and power is still very high in terms of ornamentation.

This was Ye Qin's first match of the year in 2008, and after finishing his winter training trip at IMG Academy in January, he returned to China to spend the Spring Festival with his family, and then basically focused on training.

The time can be said to be very rushed, and it is a particularly hurried year since Ye Qin practiced sports in the past few years.

Fortunately, his family can understand, and as he is now more and more famous, many times it is not particularly good to appear in public.

Two World Championship gold medals, as well as breaking the 10-second mark and a series of influences have completely fermented, and 07 can be said to be a dream year for him.

This year is the Olympic Games, and the 2008 Yenching Olympics will be an extraordinary year for Ye Qin.

One is to play at home, to compete in the Olympics on the soil of your own country, which is a completely different and new experience.

The other is that he has already proven himself at the World Championships and now needs to stand on the Olympic stage to win one or two gold medals.

He has this strength, and he also pins the hopes of many people.

In a sentence that Yang Yao once said in private, after practicing sports for so many years, it is not just to be able to show his face at the Olympic Games. And this year is the Olympics in your own country, so you need to perform well.

"I don't know what happens to Usse Both, Jason Gaby, Asafarville right now?"

Even if he was in front of the starting line of the men's 60-meter preliminaries at this moment, Ye Qin was not thinking about the race in front of him, but seemed to have skipped the five or six months and directly thought of the race in your bird's nest.

There, those people will be his real opponents!

“On your marks！”

The sound of a ringside reminder to the players to take their positions sounded.

The noise of the indoor stadium quieted down a little, and Ye Qin reined in his mood and refocused his attention on the track in front of him.

The men's 60m at the World Indoor Championships is a three-shot victory, and it was all played in one day.

Today at noon is the preliminaries, the semi-finals at 17:30 p.m., and then the final at 20:45 p.m.

With his feet on the runner, he glanced up at the finish line not far away, then leaned down and waited quietly for the race gun to sound.

The shorter the sprint race, the higher the starting requirements for the athlete. The 100m already requires special attention from the start, and the 60m needs to be emphasized.

Ye Qin adjusted his breathing slightly, although the 60-meter race brought him a different mood, he was not particularly excited or nervous.

It's the heats, he's the best sprinter in the world, and as long as he's playing to his strength, there's no problem in qualifying.

Syllable!

Match guns rang out.

Ye Qin rushed out of front of the starting line almost instantly, and the speed of this moment was a little surprising.

Sun Chaosheng, who was sitting in the stands, stood up from his position almost after Ye Qin ran together.

"So fast!"

Ye Qin's previous start has not been particularly good, and he is a weakness in this regard, but just in an instant, Sun Chaosheng, the big coach, keenly captured the difference.

On the field, the athletes on the left and right sides of the same track as Ye Qin all discovered Ye Qin's unusualness.

Ye Qin's start was so fast that they were all caught off guard, and after the gunshots rang out, almost the whole person rushed out like a reined cheetah.

10 meters, 20 meters, 30 meters......

Ye Qin was running almost the whole time against other players in the same group, and there were many men's 60m runners in his group, but there were not many strong ones.

Thirty meters later, Ye Qin straightened up and entered the state of running on the way, and at this moment almost no one around him caught up with him, and the next forty meters, fifty meters...... Ye Qin even pulled this advantage away.

Sixty meters!

Rush the line!

The time of 6.50 seconds on the chronograph board clearly appeared in front of everyone.

Compared with Ye Qin's best 60-meter run of 6.59 seconds at the beginning of last year, Ye Qin ran 6.50 seconds in the 60-meter preliminary round of the Indoor World Championships.

For a while, the huge cheers in the Louis Pugue Stadium instantly rang out.

They came to see the World Flyer race, and the flyer from China did not disappoint them, just in the preliminaries, he ran a result that shocked everyone.
