"Hey, Yechin, I watched your game yesterday with Wallace, it's great!"

In the men's 200m race check-in area, the nine competitors who will participate in the competition are lining up for the final entrance, and Yusse Bot walked up to Yechin and laughed about Yechin's performance in the 400m yesterday.

Before Ye Qin could speak, Wallace Spearmon next to him had already picked up the conversation, "Yes, it's a hundred times better than a guy who cried to find his mother because he had to practice 400 meters, and then even the coach was changed." ”

"Haha......"

Yechin and Wallace-Spearmont burst into laughter.

Yusse Bot was very strong in both the 200m and 400m, and Yusse Both's coach felt that he would definitely be able to shine in the 400m event, and he was always pressing.

This kind of intense pressure and intense training made Yusse Bot extremely rebellious and unacceptable.

Especially after the loss in the men's 200m event in 2004, which caused a lot of scolding back to China, Usse Bot did cry at the time, and went home to complain to his mother, and then communicated with his agent and switched to his current coach Glenn Mills.

Both Yechin and Wallace Spearmon had heard about this from Euse-Bot, and at this time, Wallace took it out to mock Euse-Bot, and the other party was not angry, but had an indifferent expression.

In part, it was because Yusse Bot spent a long time training for the 400m that he knew how difficult it was. In many races, Ye Qin has always been running at the same time, and the difficulties and physical pressure are much greater than those of ordinary people.

Ye Chin listened to Eusa-Bott and Wallace Spearmon tell a few colored jokes, Eusy-Bott knew that the other party was a living treasure, but he didn't expect to look at Wallace-Spearmon with a cold face and become obscene, which was a bit beyond imagination.

Some of the content of the lecture was understandable by Ye Qin, and some of them could not be GET because of the language and the growth environment, but many of the other contestants were amused.

After laughing for a while, the staff of the organizing committee came over and interrupted the private chat of the athletes. The official start of the announcement is that the nine players who participated in the competition are ready to enter the arena.

At this time, the expressions on everyone's faces gradually changed from relaxed to solemn.

19:26 p.m., inside the Olympic Stadium.

The content displayed on the big screen at the scene is no longer the results of the women's 200m runners, but updated to the athlete information of the men's 200m race that will start soon.

First lane, Stefan Buckland, Mauritius/Africa;

second lane, Patrick Johnson, Australia/Oceania;

third lane, Francis Obikwiru, Portugal/Europe;

fourth lane, Manuel Renalte, France;

Fifth lane, Yusse Bote, Jamaica/Americas;

Sixth lane, Anastasia, Greece;

7th lane, Ivan Pulik, Russian team;

Eighth lane, Ye Qin, China/Asia team;

ninth, Wallace Spearmon, Team USA;

The men's 200m teams from five continents, plus the European Championship champions and runners-up, as well as the United States and host Greece, are at the start of the race.

The course was completely random, and in this race, both Yechin and Wallace-Spearmon were in relatively unfavourable positions.

As the representative of the Asian team of the IAAF World Cup, Ye Qin is naturally blameless, from 2004 to 2006 this year, the best results of Asian athletes in the men's 200m event for three consecutive years were set by him, and he has repeatedly broken the Asian men's 200m record.

The rest of the team is basically the top ranked player representing their country or continent, and a few top-ranked athletes like Jason Gaby and Jimmy Walter may not be competing due to schedule conflicts or personal reasons, and they are basically replaced by the top two and top three players of the year.

For example, Wallace Spearmon of the USA team is slightly inferior to Jason Gaby in the men's 200m points and ranking in the current year, but since Jason Gaby has already competed in the men's 100m, he also has a chance to get this competition.

And Ye Qin, if he did not participate in this IAAF World Cup, the athlete with the best chance to replace him should be the holder of the original Asian 200m record Shingo Suejo, who is now ranked second only to Ye Qin among Asian athletes.

Standing on the eighth runway, Ye Qin noticed that the audience in today's stadium was roughly the same as yesterday, and the Olympic Stadium, which can accommodate 70,000 or 80,000 people, still looked a little empty with only 10,000 or 20,000 spectators.

However, this attendance rate is not bad for track and field competitions at this time, especially from last year to this year, because of the scandals exposed by some athletes such as "Balk Lab" and Jax Thelin, many people's enthusiasm for track and field events has decreased a lot.

On the other hand, the lack of the top 100m superstar of the IAAFA World Cup and Jason Gaby has made the field a little less attractive.

Like Ye Qin and Wallace Spearmon, Yousse Bot and others at this time, although they are all famous, Ye Qin won the 200m championship at the World Championships in Helsinki last year, which is one of the most famous among the three, but in terms of influence, it is still far inferior to the influence played by Asafavir from last year to this year.

With 22 consecutive wins in the men's 100m, this year's Asafavil will surely reach the top of the IAAF standings, and even Jason Gaby, who has performed very well, will not be able to shake the strong dominance of the opponent. Only Jax Thelin, who has been confirmed to be suspended, has had such a limelight.

"There are still Chinese audiences."

Just before the starting line, Ye Qin glanced at it casually, noticed the not too dense crowd of spectators, noticed the red five-star flag waving, and some spectators who were vaguely yellow seemed to see him turn his head to look over, and immediately bumped and jumped in the stands, expressing his inner excitement.

"As long as you keep running, there will always be applause and cheers around you."

For no reason, I remembered how I felt when I first stepped on a run for a few years, when he was still a little ignorant, standing barefoot in front of the starting line, and not using a runner.

When I stood in front of the starting line, they were laughing at me until ...... The guns of the game rang out......

It seems that from that time on, he would always habitually look for voices that might cheer him on, again and again.

This IAAF World Cup match Ye Qin knew that there should be no broadcast in China, although there were cameras on the sidelines, but it was probably broadcast on local Greek television, and at most it would not go beyond the scope of Europe.

After all, although the competition is called a World Cup, it is slightly inferior in influence compared to the IAAF Finals, let alone the Olympics and the World Championships.

But as long as he can see his supporters on the field and see someone cheering for him, Ye Qin's heart will always be filled with some inexplicable emotions.

I want to win, I want to win!

was once criticized by Randy Hunter for not having a heartfelt desire for the championship, but after competition, experience, and applause from the audience, Yechin has found what Randy Hunter said.

I ran for myself, and now I run for the tens of thousands of people behind me!

By this time, Yechin had completely shifted from a relaxed mood of pre-race chatter to a focus on the runway.

He was like that, as were Wallace Spearmon in front of him on the right, and Urse Bott behind him.

Stepping on the runway, everyone is chasing victory, surpassing themselves, and winning the championship!

No matter how good the friendship off the field is, when you get to such a stage, you will go all out.

Even, because the relationship between each other is good, they will work harder!

Compete with each other and beat everyone else with your best form!

On the field, as the time of the game approached, the atmosphere gradually became more and more solemn.

Of the nine players in this match, although Euse Bot had said with a smile before the race that he, Yechin and Wallace Spearmon would take the top three, no one really dared to ignore the other athletes.

Stefan Buckland, a veteran of the first lane and a former World Championships with a personal best of 20.06 seconds in the men's 200m, is so experienced that no one is sure if he will suddenly break out in this race.

Portugal's Frances Obikviru, the world's top sprinter in 2004, finished second in the men's 100m in 2004, and his best time in the 200m was 19.84 seconds, although this time was set by the opponent in 1999, but this year's Obikviru also achieved a season best of 20.01 seconds in the 200m.

“On your marks！”

A player with a thick Greek accent sounded on the sidelines take their seats.

Ye Qin let out two breaths lightly, shook his arm, glanced ahead, stepped onto the runner, leaned over and lowered his head, and focused all his attention on the playing field.

In the fifth lane behind Yechin, Yusse Bot habitually raised his head to look at the sky at this time, touched the cross around his neck with one hand, and drew ten on his chest.

Wallace Spearmon in lane 9 has a serious expression, this match is a very important test for him, he rarely runs such a fringe pass as lane nine, and the lane is extremely unfavorable, and he needs to give it his all if he wants to win the championship.

Whether it's Wallace Spearmon, or Yechin, or Eucey Both, it doesn't matter if everyone chats and jokes in private, but when it comes to the field, everyone immediately turns into the strongest competitor.

Wallace Spearmon is well aware that his strongest rivals are Yechin and Yusse Both, who have not run particularly impressive results in the men's 200m this year, but the title of world champion is there, and he himself lost to Yechin at this year's Grand Prix in New York.

And Yusse Both, he also dare not underestimate, Yusey-Both's form in the competition is not particularly stable, but he has set a new personal best this year, 19.88 seconds.

In the stands, the crowd of less than 20,000 people gradually quieted down at this time, and many local Greek spectators came to watch the game, in addition to watching the top players from all over the world, they also supported the host's athletes as home spectators.

The 200m event is a story to tell for Greek spectators, having won an unprecedented gold medal in the men's 200m at Sydney 2000 at Sydney 2000.

But in 2004, Kentrice was banned for evading a urine test on the eve of the Olympics, causing the deepest pain for Greek spectators.

Two years later, Kentris has retired from athletics and disappeared from public view, and their eyes can only be focused on the athletes who rise behind.

It's just that the brilliance is not there!

“SET！”

A ready sound came from the speakers next to the starting line.

The moment Ye Qin heard the command, his body naturally changed from squatting to preparing to start, his eyes looked at the runway on the floor, but his mind was highly concentrated.

Syllable!

The starting gun rang out.

The moment Ye Qin heard the gunshot, his body naturally reacted, starting, swinging his arms, and accelerating.

From last year's World Championships to September this year, he has participated in a lot fewer races than before, but he has become more and more proficient in starting training.

Especially after preparing to start trying the men's 100m this year, he put more effort into starting and accelerating, and his body is completely unable to think about how to react after the gunshot, but naturally follows the rhythm of his body.

All movements have been practiced hundreds or thousands of times, and they are as familiar as blinking an eye and breathing.

In the stadium that had just been quiet, at this moment, the sound suddenly exploded like a muffled thunder, and although the number of spectators was only a quarter of that of a major event like the Olympic Games, the waves were still not to be underestimated.

The sudden explosion of noise, cheers and shouts is just like the ability of the players on the field at this time.

10 meters, 20 meters, 30 meters, 40 meters......

Ye Qin's pace is fast and fast, his stride is fast and powerful, his swing arm is accurate, he firmly controls his center of gravity when he starts at the corner, and constantly improves his speed step by step.

At a distance of forty meters, Ye Qin completed the acceleration of the start, raised his head, and gradually stretched his body, entering the stage of running on the way.

And at this moment, when he looked up, he also happened to see Wallace Spearmon, who was in the ninth lane in front of him, and also raised his head to enter the stage of running on the way.

Both men had ample acceleration, and there were some similarities in the previous 200m technique, especially in the first half of the race, which was a style of not having an absolute explosion and waiting until the second half to win.

However, in the past, Yechin's speed in the first half was still not as good as Wallace Spearmon, but when the speed in the second half entered a high point, he was able to surpass the opponent.

But now that Yechin has made up for his weaknesses in starting and acceleration, he is no longer much inferior to Wallace Spearmon in the starting and acceleration stages, and there is almost no difference between the two in the acceleration stage of the first 40 meters.

Behind Ye Qin and the others, the other seven players were rapidly increasing their speed at this time.

When he stepped on the runner, he prayed to God that he would get him a perfect start, knowing that he would always be slower than the others in the start due to his height and long legs.

In such a situation, a quick start is very important for him.

And this time it seemed that his prayer had been fulfilled again, and the feeling of starting was very good, and the moment the gun rang out, he suddenly stepped out, and the start was very crisp.

The first three steps accelerated, and although he was a little slower than Manuel Renalt of France in lane 4 and Anastasia of Greece in lane six, he made up for this weakness after three steps.

And as he gradually entered the acceleration, the cadence became faster and faster, and the advantage of a large stride gradually came into play.

By the end of the 40 meters, Euse-Bot had already outpaced two men in relative distance, and the two athletes from France and Greece, although selected as athletes from their respective countries or continents, were a cut behind the others in the 200 meters.

50 meters, 60 meters, 70 meters......

The speed of the competitors on the field is getting faster and faster, and the nine runners who have gradually entered the middle of the race are already beginning to be able to see some differences between the front and back passes at this stage.

Yechin and Wallace Spearmon ran on the outermost lane, gradually widening the gap to Russia's Ivant Plik in lane seven, while Yusse Bot in lane five began to catch up with Greece's Anastasia in lane six, and his eyes were already catching eye on Yechin and Wallace Spearmon in the right corner.

In the 200 meters, because of the corner, he could see the riders in front of him in the fifth position, and the strength of the players around Yusse Bott was average, and he had no way to compare with his position, but he felt that Ye Qin and Spearmon in the eighth and ninth lanes were fast.

"I don't want to be the bottom one."

Before the game, Yusse Bot himself joked that the trio would sweep the top three, and the current form is obviously the same, but when he really goes to the court, even if it is a three-man matchup, he is not willing to let himself be the bottom one.

After training with Coach Glenn Mills in '04, the first thing he changed was not his running skills, but he went to Germany to undergo spinal correction surgery under the guidance of the other party.

He was born with some scoliosis, which is completely fine in ordinary life, but for an athlete, especially a top sprinter, scoliosis causes a huge problem when running at high speeds.

This makes his left and right feet, waist, abdomen, and back, under the pressure of running vigorously can not be reasonably distributed to all parts of the body, as long as the speed is raised, under the force is too strong, it is easy to cause leg muscle stretching or Achilles tendon strain.

But now his problems in this area have gradually improved, the problem of scoliosis has basically changed, and his physical condition is getting better and better. Although he didn't do speed endurance training in the 400m event, he made great strides in strength and explosiveness.

His personal best in the 200m is reflected in his growing form, and he has run 20 seconds in many races this year compared to 2005, even running 19.90 seconds.

80 meters, 90 meters, 100 meters......

Ye Qin's eyes locked on Spearmon in front of him, and his start and acceleration were much faster than before, which made Ye Qin basically maintain the same speed as Spearmon at a distance of eight or ninety meters in front.

In the past, he couldn't keep up with Spearmon at all at the front of eighty or ninety meters, at least he had to reach a distance of about one hundred and twenty meters to one hundred and thirty meters before he could catch up with the other party.

But now, training for the start and acceleration of the 100-meter event has kept him from the speed behind Spearmon, and by the distance after 80 or 90 meters, the advantage of his ability to maintain his speed has become more prominent.

Wallace Spearmon stared ahead, he could feel Ye Qin chasing quickly next to him, his footsteps seemed to be getting closer and closer, in the face of such an opponent, he was not careless at all, from the start to the acceleration, every step, every detail was done to the most perfect.

Corners into straights!

The sidelines, as always, are at this time and enter the climax of the game.

The position of the players in front of the audience can only be estimated by feeling, and at this time, everyone can still clearly see the positions of the players in each other.

The first to charge into the straight was ......

Fifth way, Usse Both!

With a curve distance of more than 110 meters, Yusse Bot ran ahead of everyone with his big stride and fast cadence.

Immediately after that, about a distance of more than a body, there were Ye Qin and Wallace Spearmon, and the two of them entered the straight almost at the same time in the eight or nine lanes of the outer road, and even at this time, Ye Qin's was about half a body faster than Spearmon.

Although there is a slight gap between the three people, in the eyes of the audience on the sidelines, the gap is extremely small, almost at the same time.

Getting closer to the finish line, eighty meters, seventy meters, sixty meters......

Yusse-Bot didn't look out for the two more lanes on the straight, but even without looking, he could feel that Yechin and Spearmon seemed to be catching up with him quickly.

Seventy meters, Ye Qin gradually surpassed Wallace Spearmon next to him, and in the face of such a top competitor, Ye Qin only felt a long-lost excitement and excitement.

The feeling of facing top athletes and squeezing out every bit of his strength made his body roar frantically towards the front like a sports car with the accelerator pedal on the end at the moment.

At the 60-meter position, Ye Qin approached Yusse Bot and was already running on the same level as the opponent, Yusse Bot was in good shape in the 200 meters, and the first 100 meters were at his current extreme level.

But obviously, Ye Qin has made greater progress than the other party in the past few years, and has been stepping step by step, constantly refreshing his personal bests.

At about fifty meters, Ye Qin ran to the front of the nine runners, and Ye Qin's eyes were on the finish line.

Beside him, Wallace Spearmon also made a sharp effort at this stage and began to catch up.

On the other side, Yusse Bot couldn't specifically direct the positions of Ye Qin and Wallace Spearmon, but the feeling of a top player, he already knew that the two were catching up, and he was also desperately accelerating forward.

Forty meters, thirty meters, twenty meters......

Ye Qin entered the final stage of the sprint, he did not relax in the slightest, on the stage of such a top competition, he breathed a little relief at this time, and almost 100% would be surpassed by Spearmon next to him.

Spearmon's sprint in the second half of the race was also vividly reflected at this time, and many spectators on the sidelines could see it clearly, after Ye Qin rushed to the front, Spearmon almost followed closely behind, and also caught up, and had already surpassed Usse Both!

10 meters ...... Five-meter ......

Rush the line!

Ye Qin suddenly lowered his head and swooped into the line, and then raised his head in the run, and saw his results in this group of men's 200 meters!

19.78 seconds!

After a year, Ye Qin once again refreshed his personal best.

At this time, Sun Chaosheng and Liu Yangyu, who had been watching this event nervously on the sidelines, jumped up the moment Ye Qin crossed the finish line.

In the past year, Ye Qin has not participated in many competitions, especially when he was in China, he did not face strong opponents, and his results have not been ideal. In other words, compared with Ye Chin's repeated refreshes and breaking various records in 2005, it seems a bit bland.

But now, finally, Ye Chin has made a breakthrough again!

19.78 seconds!

A new Asian record!

In the current men's 200m results list, it can be ranked in the top ten!

At the same time, this is also a new record for the men's 200m at the IAAF World Cup!

On the other hand, Jason Gaby, who came to the arena early tonight and was waiting for this men's 200-meter duel, couldn't help but show a trace of solemnity on his face at the moment when the results came out.

Ye Qin's performance is slightly inferior to his consecutive times of 19.68 seconds and 19.70 seconds this year, but this gap is not big, and it can be said that he is still his strongest competitor.

In addition, there is Wallace Spearmon, whose score of 19.87 seconds is enough to pose a threat to him, for a player of this age, occasionally running such a result once or twice may be the time to catch up with the peak of the state, but such as Spirmon, who has been stable, in a large event, can run into the 20-second mark, no one can guarantee when he will break out.

And Usse Both, this Jamaican player's stride is really too big, in Jason Gaby's opinion, the opponent's strength is not enough to match his height, if the strength is enough, maybe he can go further!

On the big screen at the scene, soon the list of results of this group of men's 200m runners also appeared in everyone's sight.

1. Eighth lane, Ye Qin, China/Asian team, reaction 0.168, score 19.78 seconds;

2. 9th lane, Wallace Spearmon, Team USA, reaction 0.165, time 19.87;

3. Lane 5, Yusse Bote, Jamaica/Americas, reaction 0.163, 19.96 seconds;

4. Lane 3, Francis Obikviru, Portugal/Europe, reaction 0.198, time 20.36;

5. Second lane, Patrick Johnson, Australia/Oceania, reaction 0.163, time 20.52;

6. Sixth lane, Anastasia, Greece, reaction 0.145, time 20.69;

7. Seventh lane, Ivan Pulik, Russian team, reaction 0.221, time 20.94;

8. Lane 1, Stefan Buckland, Mauritius/Africa, reaction 0.222, 20.96 seconds;

9. Fourth lane, Manuel Renalte, France, reaction 0.183, time 21.87;

Yechin, Wallace Spearmon and Eusse Bot, as said before the race, swept the top three of this IAAF World Cup, and all three entered the 20-second barrier, and the results of the next runners were clearly pulled apart.
