"Ye Chin, come on!"

In the indoor rest area, when Ye Qin came down from the warm-up track, after a simple stretch last night, Yang Yao, Su Bingtian, Zhang Peimeng and others who were gathered on the side all surrounded and cheered towards Ye Qin.

Everyone was actually there in the previous races, but they didn't relax like they did now when they just finished the men's 4×100m preliminaries, and everyone was nervous.

Now, regardless of the final men's 4×100m final, at least there were no mistakes in the preliminary stage, and at the same time, everyone knows the significance of this men's 400m final for Ye Chin.

"Thank you!"

Ye Qin waved his hand to everyone, first checked the number plate and spikes on his body, then exhaled lightly, sorted out his mood, and followed the staff to line up to enter the arena.

After Ye Qin left, several members of the other relay teams followed and entered the arena from the other side of the passage, and the rest of the competition was tomorrow's 4×100m relay, today's men's 400m final and men's 110m hurdles final, as a track and field athlete no matter what.

At this time, in a front-row position in the stands outside, Chen Ziyuan pulled Chen Zixi, who was wearing makeup and not retreating, but was just changing into a T-shirt, and chirped.

"Sister, your award dress is so beautiful, standing in the middle of the arena is almost unrecognizable."

"Uniform costumes, which were specially designed by special designers for the Olympics." Chen Zixi looked at the track and field arena and replied nonchalantly.

Today she did not continue to present the award, so as to be able to leave the stands and sit with her family to watch the game.

Chen Ziyuan looked at her sister's expression, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she suddenly leaned into Chen Zixi's ear and whispered: "Let me tell you, after you presented Ye Qin with the award that day, his action of running over and hugging you was seen by his parents." ”

"You're wrong." Chen Zixi's face flushed slightly, "It wasn't me that day, and I didn't raise a tray to present the award, everyone's makeup is about the same, you must have recognized the wrong person." ”

"Humph!" Chen Ziyuan wrinkled her nose and snorted lightly, "It's been so many years, it's not that I don't know, the Internet is now looking for the etiquette volunteer who was hugged by Ye Qin." ”

"It's not me anyway!"

Chen Zixi's eyes always fell on the arena in the distance, and he replied without turning his head.

"It's okay if it's you, if it weren't for you, I guess my parents would have to beat Black Tan to death." Chen Ziyuan pouted when she saw her sister's thin-skinned appearance.

didn't continue to talk about the men's 100m award ceremony, but mentioned yesterday's game and asked: "Sister, then Hei Tan was sent off yesterday, were you there?" ”

Hearing her sister talk about this, Chen Zixi bit her lip slightly, and there was more worry and nervousness in her eyes.

When Ye Qin participated in the men's 200m final yesterday, she was not on the spot, but preparing for other award ceremonies.

When she heard the news at the end of the award ceremony, she was a little dazed, and she was extremely reluctant to believe that it was happening.

She has also been learning about track and field competitions since she first stepped into the track and became an athlete, and with the experience of working together as a volunteer for the Olympic Games, she can better understand Yechin's feelings at that time.

It's just that I couldn't spare time at that time, so I could only hide this worry in my heart.

Fortunately, in the 400-meter semi-finals, Ye Qin's suppressed outburst broke the 400-meter world record, which made her feel at ease again.

Although she couldn't empathize with the pressure Ye Qin was bearing, she could find out how amazing the athletes who could stand on the field and compete just by taking one or two of her own examples.

Not to mention anything else, it is their etiquette volunteers, many of whom appeared on the field with medals and flowers, and many of them were so nervous that they couldn't sleep at night.

With tens of thousands of people watching, as well as TV broadcasts, a single mistake can be infinitely magnified.

Not to mention the contestants......

And a top athlete like Ye Qin, who has attracted the attention of the whole country and even the world, can be said to affect everyone's hearts with his every move.

She believes that if Ye Qin had not won the men's 100m in the previous game and broken the world record, I am afraid that the shocking storm caused by the 200m rush will not know how long it will last.

Rao is so, and there is no shortage of criticism and conspiracy theories in the media now, so Yechin's 400m final is also extremely stressful.

……

21:20 p.m., Bird's Nest Stadium.

After the men's triple jump final and the women's 4×100m preliminaries, it finally came to tonight's penultimate game, one of the most touching competitions for the Chinese people on the scene and in front of the TV - the men's 400m final.

When the eight athletes participating in the men's 400m final appeared in the track and field field, it caused a huge noise on the scene almost instantly.

Many Chinese and foreign viewers in front of the TV stood up excitedly.

In the first 100 meters and 200 meters, for various reasons, there was no real peak duel between multiple athletes, and the men's 400m event had three of the strongest athletes in the 400m event compete.

“…… Audience friends, the men's 400m final is about to begin, and it is also the final that the majority of track and field fans have been looking forward to these days, Ye Chin, Jimmy Warner and Sean Merritt will compete for the men's 400m championship at the Bird's Nest Stadium.

The first is Trinidad and Tobago's Rennie Kuo,

The second is Chris Brown from the Bahamas, who did not perform well at the Athens Olympics and will be fighting for a medal today.

third-lane American Sean Merritt, who is also the ninth athlete in American track and field history to run the 44-second mark, is the third athlete to enter the 20-second and 44-second barriers in the 200m and 400m after Michael Johnson and Yechin;

Fourth, Yechin! Ye Qin did not run many 400 meters this year, many people may first know Ye Qin in the 200 meters or 100 meters, but in fact, the first event that Ye Qin came to prominence in middle school was the 400 meters. After making a mistake in the men's 200m the day before yesterday, Ye Qin quickly broke Michael Johnson in the 400m semi-finals with his amazing performance and declared his best form.

Ye Qin is arguably the most versatile sprint athlete on the planet, and it is impossible to find out how impressive his form or run if he can compete in the men's 200m, but what is clear is that Ye Qin is aiming for the 400m gold medal today.

fifth, Leslie Geron from France, who also maintains the tradition of the men's 400m and 400m hurdles;

Sixth, from the United States, the current first person in this event, Jimmy Warner, 2004 Olympics, 05 and 07 World Championships men, Jimmy Warner won the men's 400m championship, his personal best is 43.45 seconds, and he is now fourth in the 400m best. He will face a strong challenge from Yechin, who broke the world record in yesterday's semi-finals, and his teammate Sean Merritt.

the seventh, Great Britain's Martin Rooney, who was the silver medalist at the European Championships in '06;

Lane 8, David Neville from the United States, a young athlete who is the No. 3 man on the American team in the 400m event.

The U.S. team has finished in the men's 400m in three Olympic Games in the history of the Olympic Games, they won gold, silver and bronze medals at Athens '04, and they have won gold and silver medals a total of seven times in modern Olympic history......

Is it Yechin, or Jimmy Warner, or Sean Merritt...... Their battle for the gold medal will be played out in the last 150 meters, so stay tuned! ”

With Mu Jiang's commentary, the information of the eight players appeared on the big screen and the screen in front of the TV:

the first, Rainey-Kuo, Tennirida and Tobago;

Second Lane, Chris Brown, Bahamas;

Third Way, Sean Merritt, USA;

Fourth, Yechin, China;

Fifth Way, Leslie Jeron, France;

Sixth Lane, Jimmy Warner, USA;

Seventh Way, Martin Rooney, UK;

Eighth Lane, David Neville, USA;

“On your marks!”

Just after Mu Jiang's commentary ended, in the Bird's Nest Stadium, a voice reminding the players to prepare for their positions sounded.

Ye Qin stood on the runway of the fourth lane, the camera passed over him at this moment, and the audience suddenly burst into cheering shouts.

Ye Qin turned sideways slightly on the left and right in place, moved the muscles and joints of his body for a while, relaxed a little again, and then slowly followed onto the runner.

This men's 400m final is very important for him.

Especially after losing the gold medal in the men's 200m, this is the only event he wants to add another gold medal to the national team and individual at this Olympics.

Although the men's 4×100m relay final has not yet been held, there is still a clear gap between the relay team and the top strong teams with the lineup of the relay team.

Moreover, for Ye Qin, whether it is the men's 100m or the men's 200m, he has won gold medals in these events.

Only in the 400m his highest medal was the silver medal at the World Championships in Osaka last year, and his desire for gold in the 400m is actually more than the 200m in a sense.

This is the first event he stepped into the track and field field, and then due to fate, he didn't fully focus on this project, and now that he has this opportunity again, and he has such strength, he definitely doesn't want to give up.

Judging from his performance in breaking the men's 400m world record the day before yesterday, the only opponents in this men's 400m final are Jimmy Warner and Sean Merritt, and even from a certain point of view, Yechin, who just broke the world record, has a much bigger chance of winning than the other two.

But Ye Qin actually knows very well in his heart that the day of the semi-finals was because of his explosive state, and his whole spirit was adjusted to the best state, even better than the day he ran the men's 100 meters.

That's why I was able to break the world record in the 400m event unprepared!

But facing Jimmy Warner and Sean Merritt today, although only two days have passed, he still feels that he is still in good shape, but compared to the day before yesterday, he can vaguely feel a little inferior.

This situation is a very normal phenomenon for athletes, at a certain point in time, they may suddenly be in good physical condition, and how to run is a good result, but once that time is over, if you want to find it again, it becomes unattainable.

However, Ye Qin didn't think too much about this at this time, and a lot of training and competitions for a long time have already given him a very good psychological quality.

Some emotions and thoughts in my mind were quickly discarded, and after stepping on the starting gear, I slowly adjusted my breathing, calmed down, and quietly waited for the start of the race.

“SET！”

Syllable!

A crisp electronic starting gun sounded.

Eight runners galloped out, but before they could take two steps, a second gunshot rang out.

This is the recall of gunshots that someone rushed.

Ye Qin trotted a few steps, turned his head to look at the sidelines, just this group of men's 400-meter start, he started very slowly, he was deliberately suppressed, after testing the start several times in a row the night before, he is now more vigilant about the gunfire of the race.

Although he couldn't analyze his body in detail, he was now very sensitive to the sound of the starting gun, but he still faced it with a more cautious start.

Soon the recall referee on the sidelines raised his card towards the seventh British player Martin Rooney, and this shot was Martin Rooney's reaction too quickly and appeared.

In the 400-meter event, it is actually relatively rare for runners to run in the first two hundred meters, which can be said to be much less than that of the 1,200-meter race, because the starting point is not as high as the 1,200-meter race for the whole race, but it is not uncommon to deliberately press the gun.

This is the venue of the Olympic Games, and with the current rules of the game, the first-shot rush is almost a default game tactic for the players, and many people will be brave enough to fight if they have the opportunity.

In the entire Bird's Nest Stadium, after the first shot was rushed, the audience at the scene and in front of the TV instantly became nervous.

This was the case in the 200m semi-finals that day, with other runners running in the first shot and Ye Qin running in the second shot, so much so that he was sent off and disqualified.

Many people clasped their hands together at this moment, silently praying that Ye Qin's second shot would not be rushed.

On the field, Ye Qin slowly walked back to the runner, took a few deep breaths to adjust his state, and suddenly felt a little pressure on his psychology for this shot rush.

"Steady! Slow down! ”

Ye Qin adjusted his mentality, he had already planned for the start of this 400-meter race, and would rather be 0.1 seconds slower than run according to his body's reaction.

If there was another 0.098 second situation, he felt that he might have a shadow over the gunfire in the future.

After that day of testing, the team has been very clear about his situation, he probably did a lot of starting practice, since 06 years of long-term and repeated training, coupled with the pressure of winning the 100-meter championship in recent days, the nerves are highly tense and relaxed, so that the body becomes sensitive to the response to gunshots. Now the starting reaction has surpassed that of ordinary sprinters, and the effect of pressing the gun of top runners has been achieved without pressing the gun.

It's just that the more this is the case, the more caution is needed.

The rules are there!

“…… The race for the Olympic title was very tight, with a race in the 400m, where few people were running. Just off the beaten track was Britain's Martin Rooney, a white athlete in lane seven, and the men's 400m final was commendably filled with two white athletes and a yellow athlete finishing in the top eight, a rare sight in recent years......

I don't know if this rush will put pressure on Ye Qin, we hope he can stabilize his mentality, now the mentality is the most critical, the 400-meter event is not strictly speaking, the requirements for the start are not high......

Okay, the game is starting again......

Can this battle for the championship break the 400m record again and set a new human limit? Will it be Jimmy Warner who completes the Grand Slam in a four-year cycle, or Yechin who keeps his semi-final form to win the title, or Sean Merritt who has the last laugh......"

In Mu Jiang's commentary, the scene sounded "On your marks!" again. The sound of being in place.

Ye Qin trotted a few steps on the track, slowly walked onto the runner, leaned over and lowered his head, ready for the second shot race!

“SET！”

Syllable!

The guns of the game are ringing out again!

On the starting line, after hearing the gunshot, Ye Qin obviously suppressed his reaction before he steadily rushed out of the starting line and ran towards the runway in front of him.

Sure enough, the second shot was not recalled, and the game went on smoothly!

“…… It's game on! ”

In Mu Jiang's rather excited voice, the Bird's Nest Stadium, which was a little quiet, suddenly erupted into a huge shout.

"Ye Chin, come on!"

Chen Zixi, who was sitting in the stands, jumped up from his position almost immediately after seeing the game going smoothly and shouted loudly.

The first shot of the British player Martin Rooney rushed, which made her really nervous, for fear that Ye Qin would run again in the second shot.

“…… After the start, Jimmy Warner started very fast, Sean Merritt should be close behind, and Yechin started a little slower......

Mu Jiang's voice continued to sound.

Many sharp-eyed spectators have already discovered this point in the arena, especially at the moment when the starting gun sounds, it is obvious that Ye Qin has a frustrated movement.

10 meters, 30 meters, 50 meters......

Eight players on the field are rapidly accelerating and sprinting forward!

Ye Qin was not too nervous after his slow reaction to the start, the 400-meter race was not very demanding for this, he just needed to steady, gradually increase his speed, and catch up.

In terms of acceleration ability, he is the best in the world, but he needs to do the right pace, and then he can't run like a semi-final, completely distracted, almost venting!

After almost 100 meters in the first corner, Ye Qin's speed had almost completely increased, and although he was dozens of meters behind, his speed ability was second to none among many competitors.

It's just that when he reached this distance, Ye Qin was surprised to find that the speed of Jimmy Warner, the sixth lane in front, was very fast, and he seemed to be sprinting forward with all his might.

In an instant, because of Jimmy Warner's unusual speed in the first half of the race, all the runners in the other lanes were brought up by Jimmy Warner's explosive speed.

Sean Merritt, who was in the third lane next to Ye Chin, also seemed to take advantage of his big stride, and was rapidly approaching him little by little!

“…… Jimmy Warner was as fast as he was in the semifinals, and this is a new technique that his new coach changed this year, and both Yechin and Sean Merritt had very good second half and he needed to keep his opponents as tight as possible in the first half...... It seems that this is going for the world record...... Ye Chin and Sean Merritt are also speeding up and are catching up! ”

The crowd burst into cheers, and even on the viaduct far from the Bird's Nest Stadium, many people could hear the cheers and shouts coming from the brightly lit Bird's Nest Stadium.

Yechin didn't change his pace after Jimmy Warner's sudden burst of fast first half, but followed at his original pace.

This final ran as smoothly as he did in the semifinals, but with his speed ability, even if Jimmy Warner was telling him to break out, he would be able to ensure that he would not be thrown off!

And this distance is far from the decisive point!

200 meters, 230 meters, 250 meters......

The cheers of the crowd on the field seem to be louder!

250 meters...... Jimmy Warner Zone, which is the distance that Jimmy Warner excels at, has been the stage where Jimmy Warner has left the rest of the race far behind with his excellent cornering skills and speed retention ability.

At this point, Ye Qin also began to increase his speed even further, he knew the characteristics of Jimmy Warner's skills, and even included Sean Merritt in the third lane next to him, everyone was very clear about this part of Jimmy Warner's strength.

But at this time, Ye Qin suddenly felt that something was wrong.

“…… Jimmy Warner zone, which is where he excels at outpacing his opponents and opening up the gap...... He...... Jimmy Warner slowed down, and the excessive pace of the first half took a lot of his energy...... The curve enters the straight, and the first to enter the straight is ......"

Eighth way: David Neville!

The U.S. team's No. 3 in the men's 400m was the first to go into the straight with a good first half of the race in lane eight, overtaking Jimmy Warner in the 250m and 300m stages!

He was followed by Shaun Merritt and Jimmy Warner in Third Way......

Ye Chin was behind the three!

The gap between the four people entering the straight is not large, this is the most critical point in time!

Almost at the same time, whether it was Mu Jiang in the commentary seat, or Michael Johnson, or the audience and the audience in front of the TV, they all watched the game intently.

In particular, the audience's expectations for Ye Qin almost reached the extreme at this moment, Ye Qin broke the 400 world record in the semi-finals, and many people almost subconsciously thought that Ye Qin won the 400-meter championship almost without suspense.

But now everyone realizes that Ye Qin's performance in the semifinals can only be an explosion after depression, and it is an extraordinary performance.

The moment Ye Qin entered the straight, he suddenly gritted his teeth fiercely and began to accelerate towards the finish line with all his strength.

He knew he had played too well in the semi-finals, making everyone think that he had misjudged his strength in the 400m. But he hasn't spent as much time in the 400m as many people thought in recent years.

Although Ye Qin's speed was not slow in the entire first half, he was always running at a low speed!

If he fights at full speed like Jimmy Warner, at least Ye Qin can be sure that no one in the first 300 meters will be faster than him!

But it's a 400m race and he needs to be ready for the final pace!

Heading into the final eighty meters of the straight, Sean Merritt was almost instantaneously faster than the rest of the runners, overtaking Jimmy Warner and David Neville.

At the same time, Ye Chin followed closely.

At seventy meters, Yechin and Jimmy Warner both picked up their speeds, overtaking David Neville in lane 8 and chasing Sean Merritt in front.

Sixty meters, Ye Qin gradually got rid of Jimmy Warner and ran to the second position, at this time he had clearly felt that Jimmy Warner ran too fast in the first half of the race, consumed too much physical energy, and at this stage he was already exhausted, and his speed could no longer be maintained.

Fifty meters away from the finish line, Sean Merritt is almost one meter ahead of Ye Qin and nearly two meters, and at this moment, it seems that the champion has beckoned to Sean Merritt.

The audience stood up, and Mu Jiang shouted hoarsely: "...... Ye Qin accelerates, accelerates, rushes, Ye Chin, rushes! ”

"Come on!"

"Ye Chin, come on!"

……

Tens of thousands of spectators in the arena seemed to see Ye Qin's rapid catch-up after entering the straight, and they all burst out with amazing strength at this time!

Shouts and cheers, the sound shook the sky!

And in the middle of the field, Ye Qin seemed to hear the voices of other people, and in the last 50 meters, he suddenly burst out with the amazing speed of running 200 meters and crossing the line!

"Sprint! Yechin began to accelerate the sprint! ”

Mu Jiang was shouting loudly.

Forty meters, Ye Qin narrowed the distance between him and Sean Merritt to a distance of about one meter!

Thirty meters, there is only about half a meter difference between Yechin and Sean Merritt!

Twenty meters, Yechin caught up with Sean Merritt!!

The two are neck and neck and are sprinting towards the final finish line!

Ten meters!

Yechin surpassed Sean Merritt by a position of distance!

The two current top 400-meter athletes, when they run to this distance, are already the same as many primary and secondary school students running 400 meters, and the movements of running and swinging arms have been deformed!

This is the result of going all out and fighting too hard!

Five-meter, three-meter, one-meter......

Rush the line!

In an instant, the whole body voice reached the highest point!!

The clear number on the on-site timing board appeared in front of everyone, 43.71 seconds!

“…… Ye Chin won!! Ye Chin!! Second Olympic Gold Medal!! Yechin won!! In 43.71 seconds, Ye Qin finally won by a narrow margin over Sean Merritt!!

Ye Qin is the champion, the men's 400m champion! After making a mistake in the men's 200m semifinals, Ye Qin finally proved his all-around strength in the international track and field sprint event with the gold medal in the 400m again!

The time of 43.71 seconds is a lot worse than the world record breaking performance of Ye Qin in the semi-finals yesterday, but we all know the situation in that race!

After all, the finals are not the same as the semi-finals! In any case, Ye Qin withstood the huge pressure brought to him by the 200-meter loss and won another gold medal for the Chinese team! ”

The audience almost immediately fell into a sea of joy, the five-star red flag was displayed in the stands, and many people were shouting Ye Qin's name.

It seems to make up for the cheers missed in the men's 200m at this moment!

Near the finish line, Ye Qin looked at his final championship result, and sat down and lay on the ground. He felt a strong exhaustion in his body, but this exhaustion was replaced by another emotion in this instant.

His eye sockets were hot, and he seemed to feel liquid slipping from his eyes as if he was lying on the ground!

In the past two or three days, he has not only endured pressure from the outside world, but also pressure from himself!

Especially after breaking the world record in the semi-finals, this kind of unintentional world record brought him even more pressure!

If he can't win the 400m, then not only will the 200m mistake be criticized, but the 400m will be named strong but not played in the final.

But now, it's all about it!

He won the 400 meters!

Compared with the record breaking of the 400m in the semi-finals, he felt that it was unprecedented to win this group of finals.

He found that his ability to maintain his speed did not seem to be as good as in previous years, and he was completely relying on strong pressure in the final half of the race!

Fortunately, the strategy adopted this time was very correct, and although the pace of the first half of the race was raised, there was still relatively control and pace.

So in the last fifty meters, you can still rush up in one breath!

In fact, by the last five meters, no, the last ten meters, he couldn't run anymore!

If the distance to the finish line is extended by a few more meters, he believes that Sean Merritt will overtake him again!

Fortunately, Sean Merritt fought just as hard, and in the last ten meters or so, he was exhausted and could barely run!

In the end, he won the 400m gold medal!

It's just that he was so tired that he didn't want to stand up, let alone get up and cheer around the field!

At this time, on the big screen at the scene, the results of the eight players in this group of men's 400m finals also appeared in front of everyone:
