Chapter 404 The men's 100-meter curtain opened at the New York station

In this New York station, Ye Qin will mainly participate in two events, men's 100m and men's 200m.

As for the men's 400m, Ye Qin will compete at the next Grand Prix in Eugene.

In previous years, Eugene usually stood in front of the race in New York, but this year, due to the local municipal relationship, the IAAF applied for a change in the time of the Grand Prix.

The men's 100m race in New York was at 15:20 p.m. and the 200m race time was at 15:30 p.m., compared to the time of the Osaka race, there was enough space for Ye Qin to rest.

However, even so, this trip to New York can be said to have reached the level of the top competition in both the men's 100m and men's 200m lineups.

"Ye Qin, you're ready to play."

Chen Zhongzhou saw that the time for the men's 100-meter check-in on the field had arrived, and turned around and greeted Ye Qin.

"Good!"

Ye Qin sat in a makeshift chair and slowly opened his eyes after hearing Chen Zhongzhou's voice. After a short break after the warm-up, he felt that he had adjusted to his best.

At this moment, he just wants to have a good time with all the competitors in the men's 100m race.

"Come on!" Chen Zhongzhou looked at Ye Qin's expression, gently patted Ye Qin's shoulder beside him, and opened his mouth to encourage.

Although the lineup for this game is relatively young, it is already at a very high level in international athletics at this time.

Especially Ye Qin will face Jason Gaby, which has made Chen Zhongzhou have a little pimple in his heart, probably from the beginning when he started as a member of Ye Qin's team, most of the games Ye Qin has a certain certainty, or the competitiveness is very strong.

But in this game, Chen Zhongzhou was somewhat unconfident about Ye Qin. The men's 100m is not the men's 200m and the men's 400m after all. If it is the men's 200m against Jason Gaby, Chen Zhongzhou still thinks Ye Qin can have a great chance of winning, but in the 100m, this is still a bit bad.

Still, these are his opinions. In fact, he himself understands in his heart that athletes need to grow up in one competition after another, and only high-level competitions, high-level athletes, and continuous stimulation and persecution can make people improve quickly.

Ye Qin's previous growth experience is also like this, since his debut, although the training has not been interrupted, but often the results of the explosion are on the field, the more important the large-scale event, the more Ye Qin can break out under pressure.

……

"Jason, keep a nervous and relaxed mind, I have a hunch that you are going to create your personal best in this game!"

On the other side, Jason Gaby was accompanied by Jon Drummond before he was about to play, smiling and encouraging Jason Gaby.

"Thank you, Jon, I'll run this race!" Jason Gaby nodded, his expression still grim, but there was a fighting spirit in his eyes that almost overflowed.

From the end of the race in October '06 to May and June this year, most of the time has passed, and he has greatly improved his start under the guidance of Jon Drummond.

The effort has been insignificant, and now it's time to test what you've learned.

"Believe in yourself, Jason." Jon Drummond gave Jason Gaby an encouraging hug before letting go, "You're the one who wants to fight for the number one in the world, go from here now." It's time to show the world how fast you are this year. ”

Jason Gaby nodded, turned to look at the check-in, where the players were already starting to line up, but his eyes seemed to be looking through it, which was the World Championships in Osaka two months later, and the Yenching Olympics a year later.

At 15:15 p.m., cheers erupted in Icahn Stadium.

The most exciting race of the entire Grand Prix, the men's 100m trapeze battle is about to begin.

On the big screen at the scene, this group of men's 100-meter competitors also appeared in front of everyone's eyes at this time.

In the first lane, Dwight Phillips of the United States, the 2003 World Indoor and Outdoor Championships long jump champion and the 2004 Athens Olympic long jump champion, in a 60m indoor race in Madrid, Spain in 2005, Dwight Phillips ran an astonishing time of 6.47 seconds, ranking among the top 20 in history, and the best time in the men's 100m was 10.06 seconds.

In the second lane, Derek Atkins, a Panamanian athlete, won the silver medal in the 100m at the 2006 Caribbean Games in Central America with a time of 10.08 seconds and set a national record in the Bahamas. At a race in Berkeley, California on April 28 this year, Derek Atkins improved his personal best to 9.98 seconds and ran an astonishing 9.86 seconds and 9.83 seconds in excess of wind speeds of 2.3 and 2.4 m/s. Many are waiting to see if the player will surprise everyone like Jason Gaby last year.

In the third lane, Sean Crowder of the United States, the men's 200m champion at the 2004 Athens Olympics, had a best time of 9.88 seconds in the men's 100m at the 2004 Grand Prix in Eugene. And in a race in Pretoria, South Africa, in 2002, Sean Claude became the first athlete to break 10 seconds in the 100m and 20 seconds in the 200m in a single day.

In the fourth lane, Jamaican athlete, Steve Mullins, has a personal best of 10.05 seconds in the 100m this year.

In the fifth lane, Ye Qin, a Chinese player, won the men's 200m at the 2005 World Championships, with a best time of 9.98 seconds in the 100m and a best time of 19.78 seconds in the 200m.

In lane six, Jason Gaby, the current No. 1 in the men's 100m rankings in the United States, is another rising 100m athlete after Maurice Green and Jake Sterling, who has run under 9.90 seconds in a row last year, and is equally outstanding in the men's 200m.

In lane seven, Jamaica's Dwight Thomas, fourth in the 100m at the 2003 World Championships, seventh in the 100m at the 2004 Olympic Games, and fifth in the 100m at the 2005 World Championships. His best time in the 100m was 10 seconds in Linz in 2005.

In lane eight, Leonard Scott of the United States, the 2006 World Indoor Championships 60m champion, ran a personal best of 9.91 seconds in the 100m at the 2006 IAAF World Finals.

In lane 9, Dabryan Brandon, an American athlete, has a personal best of 10.07 seconds in the 100 meters, set in 2003.

Although the lineup of the entire competition is still far behind some Olympic Games and World Championships, it is not weaker than the Golden League, gathering the current outstanding 100-meter sprinters from the United States and Jamaica.

Among them, Ye Qin made his third appearance in the men's 100m, while Bahamian Derek Atkins is the new top 100m athlete.

Standing on the starting line, Ye Qin looked at the men's 100-meter runners on the left and right, adjusting his breathing slightly.

When the many American spectators at Icahn Stadium saw Ye Qin in the middle of the field, some of them already knew the top sprinter from China, and some of them were a little curious.

Among the black players, a Chinese with yellow hair and black eyes and extraordinarily fair skin is particularly distinctive and outstanding.

Ye Qin kept his eyes on the finish line in the distance, and before the race, he didn't have any conversation with Jason Gaby, with Jason Gaby's character, he basically maintained a super focused attitude in such a big competition.

Often unspoken, fully immersed in a state of self-adjustment and high concentration, was a key factor in his rise in the men's 100m.

The difference between the 100m and 200m events is the distance, as the runners need to be able to increase their speed to the top in the shortest possible time before sprinting to the finish line.

And to do all this, the most important thing you need is a spirit of focus.

The 200m and 400m are slow to start, but there is enough distance for the runners to adjust their condition and catch up slowly, especially in the 400m, even if the start is a few steps slower, as long as the state is good enough, the top runners can easily catch up in the second half of the race.

But 100 meters will not work.

The 100m is not like the 60m, where many athletes reach the finish line just after the speed is raised, but it does not provide too long distance for the runners to adjust.

The 100-meter race is often won in units of one hundredth or even one thousandth, and all the runners need to maintain a high level of concentration from the start to ensure that they can fully exert their strength.
