May 10, 2008, Nagai Stadium, Osaka, Japan.

The annual Japan Grand Prix is in full swing, and Osaka, the city that hosted last year's World Championships, still attracts a lot of spectators when it hosts this year's Grand Prix.

In the 47,000-seat stands, the attendance rate reached nearly 20,000, which is a rare high attendance rate in the stadium after the World Championships.

In the rest area, Gu Kai glanced at the list of participants in the men's 100m for the Osaka Grand Prix in Japan, and then at Ye Qin, and asked a little strangely: "In previous years, there were so many local Japanese players in the men's 100m race?" ”

Ye Qin stood aside and was tying his shoelaces, glanced at the list in Gu Kai's hand lightly, and then nodded slightly, "It's basically the same, but in the past, there were basically some excellent players from the United States to compete." Like Leonard Scott before, Jax Thelin them. This time, there must be a few of them. ”

Gu Kai nodded, "I saw a few foreign players, but they shouldn't be particularly famous, and many of them don't know each other." ”

The two arrived in Osaka the day before yesterday, this time Gu Kai is the first time to Japan to participate in the Osaka Grand Prix, and he still doesn't know much about some international players, and there are still some differences between the World Championships and the Grand Prix when he came to Osaka last year.

Unlike the domestic Shenghai Grand Prix, which can bring together many top players from all over the world, the Osaka Grand Prix is probably at the beginning of the year, and the players who are really willing to participate every year are mainly concentrated in China, the United States, Australia and Japan.

At this time, there are also Grand Prix and invitational tournaments in Central America, so it is not very attractive to athletes who are far away.

And many sprinters who are not particularly top-notch, if they are not active in various IAAF competitions, coupled with language and nationality, it is still difficult to get acquainted with each other.

"Ye Qin, I see that you have been a little nervous, what, do you have an idea for this game?"

Gu Kai was next to Ye Qin, looked at the other players participating in the competition for a while, and after observing for a while, he looked at Ye Qin again, and seemed to see some of Ye Qin's abnormalities.

"Seniors can prepare for the meeting, and I will test it in this game to see the results of my winter training." Ye Qin's expression was faint, and after checking the spikes, he jumped lightly on the spot, turned his head and said to Gu Kai.

"Huh?" Gu Kai was slightly stunned, and then looked at Ye Qin, he felt the fighting spirit and strong competitiveness hidden in Ye Qin's tone.

None of the players competing in today's Osaka Grand Prix could pose a threat to Ye Chin, but Ye Chin's arena is no longer limited to here, but is faintly fighting against others in the air.

A few days ago, Jamaican Yusse Bot ran a time of 9.76 seconds and spread it to the track and field team, causing a sensation, and then many media came to interview Ye Qin to find out what was going on from his mouth.

"This ......"

Gu Kai heard Ye Qin say that he would test his winter training results and let him prepare, and the implication was already obvious, that is, Ye Qin should go all out to run in this race, or he should run with the spirit of facing the big competition, even if there is basically no special master in the Osaka Grand Prix this time.

And what he has to do is to follow Ye Qin and play his best under Ye Qin's persecution as much as possible as discussed in the track and field field of the General Training Bureau a few years ago.

It takes a lot of timing and place for an athlete to make a difference, but a good opponent is the one that motivates a person to run at his best.

Like African men's 100m record holder Fasuba, his African record of 9.85 seconds was set at the 2006 Doha Super Grand Prix, when he was forced to run alongside Jax Thelin.

In that match, Jax Thelin equaled Asafavir's world record, and although the result was later cancelled due to drug test problems, Fasuba, who was also in the same match, was stimulated by a strong opponent to set a career high.

Now, Yechin will be serious in this matchup, which means that if he can withstand the pressure of Yechin, with Yechin's speed in less than 10 seconds, maybe ...... Maybe he can really achieve another good result and run into the A standard of the Olympic Games.

Looking at Ye Qin, who was seriously preparing for the game on the sidelines, Gu Kai was unspeakable for a while.

He has always been quite proud of many athletes.

Because he is not only good at sports, he can run at the first-class level in the men's 100-meter event, but he is also admitted to the level university with high scores.

But in the face of Ye Chin, what he could be proud of was suppressed in almost all aspects. Especially in the sprint event, Ye Qin's appearance is almost a miracle in the history of Chinese track and field.

Now his self-breakthrough needs Ye Qin's junior to stimulate him in the arena, which makes his proud heart a little unhappy, but competitive sports is like this, one hundredth of a second faster, that is the difference between victory and defeat, and one tenth of a second faster, that is two players of different levels.

And taking a step back, after so many years of practicing sports, now that the Olympics are being held in your own country, such an opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and only an athlete does not want to miss it.

This is his best time, he is at his peak in age, and the arena is his home field, to be able to appear in front of the people of the whole country, it is really tragic to say that he can get the participation standards of the Yanjing Olympic Games, and this life is not in vain!

"Gu Kai, you have to come on! Olympic Standard A, you can! ”

Inside Nagai Stadium, a large crowd of spectators is waiting for the upcoming men's 100m race.

Since last year's World Championships, Yechin has become increasingly influential around the world, especially in Osaka, Japan, where he won the men's 100m and 200m titles, causing a stir and conquering the city.

When Ye Qin appeared in front of the men's 100-meter starting line at Nagai Stadium, he himself was a little surprised that the Japanese crowd would welcome him so warmly.

In many places in the stands, Ye Qin could even see banners cheering for him, and many people were also chanting Ye Qin's name, but the tone was slightly weird, and he only understood it after listening to it several times.

There were several Japanese players participating in this competition, but Ye Qin did not meet the opponents he was familiar with, and neither Nobuharu Asahara, nor Naoki Tsukahara appeared on the field, and the track was full of a new generation of young Japanese athletes, and many of them were younger than him.

"Japan still wants to reserve some follow-up talent for its athletics."

Ye Qin naturally understood their intentions for the arrangement of this competition, and let domestic athletes participate in the Grand Prix training, just like last year's Grand Prix let Zhang Peimeng and Su Bingtian participate in the Shenghai Grand Prix, all so that the new generation of athletes can see the world.

Of course, according to the general situation, in fact, Japan's best sprinters at the moment, such as Nobuharu Asahara and Shingo Suesu, should participate, but it may also be a matter of personal form, injury, or busy with 4×100m relay training.

There are naturally unknown reasons for not appearing in the arena.

Probably because of this, except for a few people who know more about their own athletes, many people are more familiar with Ye Qin than these new generation of Japanese sprinters.

As for the other Australian and American competitors, even less is known.

On the spot, the athletes have already appeared on the track, started the adjustment of the running aids and the final pre-race preparation, and the race is about to begin!
