Chapter 443: Before the 400-meter final
On the indoor warm-up track, Ye Qin had just finished simple stretching and pressing, and also heard the results of the second group of the men's 4×100m relay preliminaries that had just ended.
He didn't think it was too strange that the Japanese team was able to break the Asian record, and he was no stranger to the members of the relay team of the Japanese team, the first baton Naoki Tsukahara, the second baton Shingo Suesu, the third baton Shinshi Takahira, and the fourth baton Nobuji Asahara.
If the Chinese relay team does not count Ye Qin, in the face of the members of this Japanese team, it is obvious that the strength of the Chinese team is much weaker.
Japan's Naoki Tsukahara 100m is around 10.10 seconds, Shingo Sueji is around 10.05 seconds, Shinji Takahera is 10.3 seconds in the 100 meters, and 20.8 seconds is around 20.8 meters in the 200m level. Asahara's best time in the 100 meters reached 10.02 seconds, and the 200 meters were in 20.39 seconds.
Such a relay team, after losing to the Chinese team in the Asian Games last year, plus this year's World Championships, can be said to have spent a lot of time and energy to train for the 4×100-meter relay race.
For tomorrow's 4×100m relay race, in fact, both the Japanese team and the Chinese team have a clear goal, which is to strive for medals.
In the case of the two pinnacle sprint track and field lineups of the United States and Jamaica, everyone can only compete for third place, of course, if the United States team and the Jamaican team have major mistakes such as dropping the baton, maybe the ranking can be raised, but this is only a small probability event, and you can't expect the opponent to make a mistake.
The strength of the U.S. and Jamaican teams is not in one or two runners, but in the overall level, which is significantly higher than the other relay teams, concentrating the strongest men's 1200m athletes of the two teams, and the top sprinters in the world.
You must know that the lineups of the two national relay teams of Jamaica and the United States are basically the men's 100m and men's 200m who can enter the finals, and there are only one or two other countries at most, and the number of these two countries is so large that they can be substituted, as long as the two teams do not make mistakes themselves, it is unlikely that other teams really want to compete with them.
Ye Qin knew this very well, and he did not think that he could really lead the Chinese relay team to win the championship on his own, it was impossible, and Jason Gaby and Asafavir in the two teams had already been able to offset him.
In addition, the British team, the Nigerian team, the Brazilian team, the overall level of these relay teams is very high, whether it is China or Japan, it will not be an easy matter to compete for a medal.
These thoughts flashed through Ye Qin's mind, and he didn't continue to think about it, now was not the time to worry about these things, he still had more important tasks to complete.
As time passed, there were more runners on the warm-up track.
Ye Qin finished warming up and was sitting on the track to rest, when at some point, a figure in a red sprint suit sat down next to him.
"How's it going, are you feeling a little tired?"
The red figure who sat down gently pushed Ye Qin with his elbow and said softly.
"Heh, Brother Yangyu, are you done warming up?"
After Ye Qin saw the person coming clearly, his expression was slightly excited, "It's not that I'm tired, but I spend a little less time on the 400 meters, and it feels impossible to really win." ”
"Your heart is big enough!" Liu Yangyu looked at Ye Qin and couldn't help laughing, "You have already won two gold medals, and if you continue to win them, will you not let other athletes live?" ”
"I'd like to, but it's unlikely." Ye Qin shook his head and smiled bitterly, although he started from the 400-meter event, but later he first achieved results in the 200-meter, and then combined with the men's 100-meter, but spent less time and energy in the men's 400-meter race.
In recent years, the results in the men's 100m and men's 200m have improved significantly, but in the men's 400m, relatively speaking, the progress is not too good, and many times the 400m results have improved, all due to the improvement of the 100m and 200m technology, not the real special training 400m technology improvement.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, your current results have surprised everyone."
Liu Yangyu looked at Ye Qin's expression and knew that Ye Qin was not pretending. As long as athletes have competitions and choose the arena, they basically want to compete for the championship and win the first place, and he can actually understand Ye Qin's mentality.
However, even from Liu Yangyu's point of view, Ye Qin is doing well enough now, so good that he sometimes feels that he is really a little convinced in the face of Ye Qin's invisible competition.
One of the reasons why the two have not communicated as much in the past two years is that they have gradually grown into top athletes, and they have a lot of prestige both nationally and internationally.
After all, in a big game, both of them appeared, so in this game, is it up to you or me?
In terms of commercial value, as well as various discussions comparing the achievements of the two people in the real society on the Internet, to a certain extent, they will gradually affect some of each other's views.
Sometimes this kind of thing is really not subject to human will, not to mention that athletes themselves are a competitive group.
"After running 200 meters, I wasn't really stressed." Ye Qin smiled, "It's just that when I was just warming up, I suddenly thought that I spent too little time on the 400 meters, and some things really can't be taken care of." ”
"That's for sure." Liu Yangyu patted Ye Qin's shoulder, "Although they are all sprints, some aspects are different when they cross events, I go to run sprints, and everyone says that I am jumping and jumping, and I am physiologically accustomed." ”
"Haha." Ye Qin laughed on the side, he knew what Liu Yangyu was talking about. In the 4×100-meter relay race of the 06 National Games, Liu Yangyu ran the relay as the fourth baton of the Shenghai team, and lost in the final competition with Gong Wei.
"Okay, no more small talk, time is running out."
After laughing for a while, Liu Yangyu patted his ass and stood up, pointing to Coach Sun Chaosheng not far away, "I have to find my master to do a muscle stretch, you have won the 200-meter championship for a second time, and I will also win the men's 110-meter hurdles championship!" ”
"Haha......" Ye Qin stood up, first waved to Coach Sun Chaosheng not far away, then looked at Liu Yangyu, stretched out his hand and gave a thumbs up, "Come on!" ”
"Come on!"
After Liu Yangyu left, Ye Qin gathered his mood, jumped on the spot, adjusted his body's functions to the best state, and began to make preparations before the final play.
Liu Yangyu came over, and the two chatted a few words without any nutrition, but somehow, it made the mood a little relaxed.
With the previous results of the men's 100m and 200m, for Ye Qin, in fact, the men's 400m can be faced with a more relaxed mentality.
But in Ye Qin's heart, he was relatively unsure of the men's 400 meters.
His family knows his own business, and his performance in this event has always been inferior to the 100m and 200m.
But after chatting casually with Liu Yangyu, he also wanted to open it himself.
Just drop your baggage and run!
You don't have to think about winning the 400m because you have the 100m and 200m championships on your back, which is adding pressure to yourself.
"Ye Chin, Ye Chin, ready to play!"
Not far away, Chen Zhongzhou's voice came, and the men's 400m final was about to begin!
