Chapter 579: Daegu World Championships

"Wow...... Someone ran away! ”

"Unbelievable! It's Yusse Bot who is running the front! Yusse Bot snatched the ...... in the men's 100m final"

"This is the first time since the 2010 World Indoor Championships in Doha that the IAAF will fully implement zero front-running, and there is a race in the final of a major event! And this one who is running away is Yusse Both! ”

It was August 28, 2011.

At 20:45 in the evening, at the Daegu Stadium in South Korea, more than 60,000 live viewers and countless viewers in front of the TV couldn't help but exclaim after seeing this scene.

Many supporters of the Jamaican team and the family and friends of Yousse Bot at the scene hid their faces and shed tears at this moment, looking extremely sad.

Yusse Bot himself stood on the track and field, looking dazed for a moment, and then his face was extremely angry as he left the track and field.

"It's a shame that there are at least hundreds of millions of spectators around the world this year, watching this men's 100m peak speed showdown. As the current second man in the men's 100m world, Yusse Bot is the sprinter with the best chance to challenge Yechin, but his rush out also makes us lose suspense about this men's 100m race. ”

Mu Jiang, the on-site commentator of CCTV 5, said in a calm voice without any waves when he saw Yusse Bot being sent off the field.

Many track and field enthusiasts in China also feel some regret at this moment, following the Yenjing Olympics and the Berlin World Championships, the third men's 100-meter duel is about to be staged.

But the domestic audience with such ideas is only a part, and more people feel excitement and excitement at this moment.

This is the third time that Ye Qin has faced off against Yusse Bot in the men's 100m final of a major event, and the first two times Ye Qin won against Yusse Bote was not much, only one to three hundredths of a second, which is a very small difference.

This year is also considered to be the most likely to beat Yechin in the men's 100m, with Yusse Bot in good form and unbeaten in the men's 100m and 200m since Rome and Ostrava in May.

And Ye Qin had a muscle strain in June this year, and the outside world was in an uproar when the news came out. Fortunately, he recovered well later, and entered the competitions in July and August, and Ye Qin's performance improved rapidly.

In a number of reports on the BBC before the game, Yechin and Yusse Bot have already listed their status, life, training and competition achievements this year, and it is concluded that Yusse Bot looks bigger than Yechin.

Among the odds given by many spinach companies in Europe, the odds of Yousse Bol are almost the same as Yechin, so it can be said that the outside world is quite optimistic.

But after the rush recall gunshots rang out, both the audience at the scene and in front of countless TVs felt pity and regret.

After leaving the arena, Yusse Bot himself took off his shirt directly, his face full of helplessness and chagrin for his mistake in this game.

It's not that he is not unfamiliar with the rules of zero running, but he wants to beat Ye Qin too much in this game, and his personal competitive state this year is better than Ye Qin.

Before the starting line, Ye Qin watched Yusse Bot leave the field, and he didn't feel relieved or a little happy in his heart.

Still not affected by the departure of Yusse Bot too much to let his emotions be affected too much.

Starting at the World Championships in Helsinki in '05, to the World Championships in Osaka in '07, the Olympics in '08 and the World Championships in Berlin in '09, he has faced Yusse Bot head-to-head many times.

Even though the opponent rose later and improved by leaps and bounds, Ye Qin still maintained a posture of pressing the opponent in large-scale events.

Yechin hasn't been in great form this year, but he still has a strong sense of self-confidence in his head-to-head race against Yusse Bott in the men's 100m final.

This self-confidence is built up race by race, and comes from the fact that he holds the record for the most sprints in the world.

In this men's 100-meter final, Yousse Bot was sent out, and there was a men's 200-meter race later, and Ye Qin was also not afraid of the opponent.

He believes that winning is his own.

Mu Jiang, who was in charge of commentating the men's 100m race, watched the TV screen after Yusse Bot left, and continued: "Yusse Bote's dismissal makes us have to think of Ye Qin's mistake in the men's 200m semifinals at the 2008 Yenching Olympics.

At that time, Yechin was also attracting the attention of the world, and everyone wanted to see him and Yusse Bot face off in the men's 200m, but the result was very sad.

In this men's 100m final, after Yousse Bot got off the field, many spectators have lost too much suspense.

But I hope that Ye Qin still can't relax, and at this time we still have to maintain a high degree of vigilance, the track and field arena is a place full of accidents and miracles.

Although Jason Gaby and Asafaville were absent in the men's 100m final, Jamaica's new youngster Yuhan Blake was very ferocious, and Walter Dicks of the USA team was also in amazing form this year, winning the men's 100m championship for the first time......

The 2011 World Championships in Daegu, in the minds of many track and field fans, was supposed to be another big showdown of human peak speed after two years.

Unfortunately, this year's situation is not satisfactory.

First up was Jason Gaby, the world's third-fastest finisher, who started in 2011 to be in astonishing form, running 9.79 seconds in the men's 100m event in Claremont, Florida, and beating Steve Mullins to win the Adidas Grand Prix in New York in May.

But just before the All-American Championships and 2011 World Championships trials at the end of June, Jason Gaby suffered a hip injury and had to withdraw from the field and undergo surgery for an acetabular labrum injury.

Asafavir, who is also favored by everyone this year, has also been in excellent form since the start of the year, and in the University of Pennsylvania Jamaica 4Γ—100m relay team against the United States, Asafaville led the Jamaican team without Yusse Bott to defeat the American red team and the blue team to win.

In the Diamond League in Lausanne on June 30, Asafavil ran 9.78 seconds with a wind speed of 1.0 m/s, the fastest time in three years.

Then at the Jamaica Trials in July, Asafavil also won his fifth national title in the absence of Yusse Bote.

Then, in August, Asafavir continued to break the 10-second mark several times, and became more and more confident about this year's World Championships in Daegu.

Sadly, just a few days before the start of the World Championships, Asafavir had to withdraw from the World Championships due to an aggravated groin strain, much to the great disappointment of countless supporters of him.

Asafavir himself was also in great pain in front of the media, and vowed in front of the cameras that he would definitely participate in the 2012 Olympics.

……

With the passage of time, the men's 100m final at Daegu Stadium began again.

The audience gradually recovered from the excitement and helplessness of the withdrawal, and their eyes returned to the upcoming game.

Even if there is no showdown between Yusse Bot and Yechin in this race, the presence of Yechin, the current men's first sprinter, is still enough to attract everyone's attention.

At this time, in a corner of the audience, a tall and strong black man frowned slightly, looking at the eight athletes participating in the men's 100-meter final, and the muscles of his whole body tensed slightly.

"When I first met him in the men's 200m at the Athens Olympics, I never thought that this athlete would grow to where he is today, right?"

Loren Seagrave, wearing a pair of brown glasses, sat in the audience and crossed his legs, and said to the black man next to him.

"I didn't even pay attention to each other at the time."

Jax Thelin exhaled silently, the 2004 Athens Olympics, that was the peak of his life, the men's 100m gold medal, the men's 200m bronze medal, how high-spirited he was at that time, the athletes he could see in his eyes were just Morris Green and a few other people.

However, Jax Turling didn't say a word, and he remembered his opponent after the men's 200m at the World Championships in Helsinki.

The young athlete from Oriental China snatched his dream men's 200m title from him, and it was the first time he was surprised that an Asian athlete could win against him.

"Yes, no one could have imagined that so many top athletes would emerge in the international athletics sprint event in recent years."

Loren Seagrave lamented that there has been more of a new generation of top athletes rising in international athletics in recent years than in all previous years combined.

A lot of top athletes were definitely capable of competing for the title ten or twenty years ago, but in this day and age, it's not easy for these people to compete for the finals.

Like the finalists in the men's 100m in the track and field arena at the moment, in addition to Yechin, Yuhan Blake is still young, and several other Walter Dicks, Daniel Bailey, and Nesta Carter, all of which are extremely good athletes, can run within 10 seconds, or even 9.90 seconds.

But in this day and age, these people can only be at the bottom of the seat. If they were stars, there were several rounds of suns above them, obscuring all the light of these people.

"Loren, I know what you mean."

Jax Thelin listened to Loren Seagrave's words, his eyes were still calm, and he said in a low tone, "But I'm not reconciled!" ”

"Jax, don't be in a hurry, you've been away from track and field for too long." Loren Seagrave then held up a finger, "You've only been back for a year, and it's beyond my expectations that you've been able to get back to this state." ”

Since returning to athletics on August 3, 2010, Jax Thelin has been doing well, starting at the lower divisions and progressing to the higher divisions.

In this year's National Outdoor Championships and World Championship Trials, Jax Thelin ran a good time of 9.95 seconds, second only to Walter Dicks' 9.94 seconds.

For a rider who has been out of action for four years, being able to run like this again almost means he's starting to get back to the top.

However, it is a pity that in this World Championships, Jax Thelin may have been under pressure, or his form was not good enough, and he only ran 10.23 seconds in the semifinals, and finally missed the men's 100m final of the World Championships.

"Loren, I'm going to the 2012 Olympics, I'm going to be in the finals, I'm going to fight them for medals, I'm going to fight for gold!"

Jax Thelin got up from his seat, pointed his finger at Ye Qin, who was about to start the game, and said categorically.

"You're sure you can!"

Loren Seagrave also stood up and nodded solemnly.

In four years, Jax Thelin fell from the top to the bottom, and the coaches and friends he used to get along with basically left him, and he became the target of everyone's shouting.

But he is willing to coach Jax Thelin, despite the fact that Jax Thelin is old and may not have a few years in his career, and one of the biggest reasons is that he sees in Jax Thelin that almost crazy desire to win.

β€œOn your marks!”

The sound of the players regaining their positions on the field sounded.

The two men who were talking were looking intently at the same time.

After a gunshot, Ye Qin, who was in the fourth lane, rode out of the dust and led many other runners from the start.

In the end, he won the men's 100m championship at the World Championships with a time of 9.70 seconds, which is not far behind the men's 100m at the Yanjing Olympics and the men's 100m at the Berlin World Championships.

But everyone in the room felt understandable that without the challenge of Yusse Bot and the pressure of top players like Jason Gaby and Asafavir, Yechin would have won almost no difficulty in this match.

The up-and-coming Yuhan Blake was tough with a time of 9.92 seconds, and he was very strong, but he was still a little immature at this point, which was good among the other competitors, but not far from being a threat to Yechin.

Two days later, on August 30, the men's 400m final.

Ye Qin once again won the championship with a time of 44.03 seconds.

The men's 100m, 200m and 400m events will be rolled over as in previous editions, and it will be the last time that Ye Qin will compete in three individual events in the same event.

At 20:55 on the evening of September 9, in the men's 200-meter flyer battle, Ye Qin won Yusse Bote's 19.40 seconds with a time of 19.31 seconds.

He became the first athlete to win the men's 100m and 200m titles three times in a row at the IAAF World Athletics Championships.

By 9 September, after the 2011 World Championships, almost the eyes of the world were already focused on the London Olympics a year later.

At that time, there will be another battle with the fastest battle in human history.
