"The Jamaican team has completely outperformed the U.S. team 15 years ago, and they have the potential to hit the 37-second mark. The performance of the Chinese team is completely based on tacit cooperation and Ye Qin's personal ability, their first three personal best times are between 10.20 seconds and 10.30 seconds, and with tacit cooperation and Ye Qin's fourth outburst in the end, they defeated other players to win the runner-up.

This is not the first time that the U.S. team has lost the men's 4×100m relay event, and from the Athens Olympics in '04 to the World Championships in Helsinki in '05, to this year's Olympics, three of the four major competitions in the last four years have made serious mistakes......

In the media commentary booth, Michael Johnson half admired the Jamaican team, and thought of the embarrassing situation of the American team out of the preliminaries, and for a while he didn't know what to say.

On the other hand, ABC TV commentator Morris Green broke the men's 4×100m relay record held by the United States team for 15 years in Jamaica, and couldn't help but complain: "The performance of the American team in the preliminary round is really bad, Davis Barton and Jason Gaby can compete with Jamaica if they play well." But Jason Gaby ...... The 2005 World Championships was also because of him, when he made a mistake in handing over the baton with Leonard Scott, and this time it was clear that Jason Gaby didn't learn his lesson and he made another mistake!! ”

In the 2005 Helsinki World Championships men's 4×100m preliminaries, Maurice Green is still impressive, at that time he was in the fourth base, the third is Jason Gaby, the second is Leonard Scott, in the second and third handover, Jason Gayson like this race, did not get the baton, resulting in his fourth stick can only stand in the relay area and watch one opponent after another pass by.

At the time, he didn't complain to the media as a member of the team, but now that he has left the U.S. track and field team and become a guest commentator, he can't help but talk about it.

In fact, after yesterday's preliminaries, Jason Gaby has already apologized to the outside world in an interview with the media, saying that the mistake of the baton is his reason.

Team-mate Davis Barton was the only one to help, and Jason Gaby didn't want him to put pressure on him to put all the pot on his shoulders.

And everyone is also aware of the fact that with the performance of the Jamaican team today, the performance of Yusse Bot and Asafavil, even if the United States team is not out, the best result can only be to win the silver medal.

Unless......

……

"Unless I'm on the field!"

In the room, Jax Thelin, who had been standing up since the start of the men's 4×100m relay final, slowly sat back on the sofa after watching the performance of the Jamaican team.

"With the performance of the Jamaican men's 4×100m relay team right now, it will be too difficult for the U.S. team to beat them."

Unlike relay team members from other countries who have been training for a long time, the relay team members of the U.S. team are not predetermined in advance.

Generally speaking, the top three athletes in the trials qualify for the Olympic and World Championships individual events and the relay team, while the fourth place finisher does not qualify for a single event, but can qualify for the relay event.

This leads to a situation where many times the lineup of the U.S. relay team is not fixed, and the selection is generally only a month or two before the start of the Olympic Games and the World Championships.

The U.S. team's performance in the men's 4×100m has always relied on the individual ability of the athletes, and the slightest mistake can be a serious mistake such as dropping the baton.

The rise of the Jamaican team has made some Americans see the crisis in the sprint event, and so far in this Olympics, the US team's performance in the men's sprint event has been completely collapsed.

Judging from the performance of the Jamaican team to break the world record in the end, even if the United States team enters the final, the Jamaican team's third baseman Yusse Bote and fourth baseman Asafavil are really strong against him, so the combination of three or four sticks is simply not able to compete with other opponents.

Ye Qin can play against Yusse Bot or Asafavir in the third or fourth bat, but he is only one man, and he is difficult to support in the current situation of the Chinese team.

There is only one possibility for the U.S. team to contend with the combination of Jason Gaby and Jax Thelin.

"There are still two years to go."

Jax Thelin watched the game and got up from the couch. Yanjing has entered the night at this time, and the United States at this moment is still daytime.

"Coach, where are you going?" The black boy, who had been watching the Olympic track and field competition with Jax Thelin, was a little surprised to see Jax Thelin get up and change his clothes, and asked with some confusion.

"Training!"

Jax Thelin said without looking back, and then seemed to repeat it again, "Training, I need to train to stay fit!" It's so exciting to be in athletics right now, and in two years' time, I want to be on the same starting line as them. ”

The two years since I left the arena have been lonely and difficult!

In addition to the economic situation, there are also moral and other pressures!

In fact, after really leaving the track and field arena, Jax Thelin found that he could also live a good life.

Change into running shoes, open the door, and walk out of the room, along the familiar road, all the way slowly......

Time can sometimes make people see a lot of things, such as former friends and teammates, such as life, and for example, what they love the most......

From the 110m hurdles to the 100m and 200m sprints, from Woodham High School to the University of Tennessee, from the small track and field field in the community to the world's highest Olympic stage, Jax Thelin has been able to see his heart clearly.

Two bans, countless championships and medals, controversy and condemnation, regret and contempt, and in the end, the only thing left is still the self who ran when he was a teenager!

……

At this time, in the Bird's Nest Stadium, the noise was still warm.

The four runners of the Jamaican relay team attracted the most attention, and the 15-year-old world record was set and a new one was set, and hundreds of Jamaicans who came with the team to watch the race jumped in the stands with joy.

Sprinting is the hottest sport in Jamaica and all eyes are on it. After several generations of hard work, this moment Jamaica's sprint finally stood on top of the world.

Despite not perfecting in the men's 100m, they have already occupied two of the world's best sprinters.

The relay event, which represents the overall sprinting level of this country, won the championship by a wide margin surpassing other runners, which seems to announce the crowning of Jamaica's king at this moment.

In the midst of the cheering crowd, a stout black boy with dreadlocks who was not yet twenty years old stood beside Glenn Mills, his body trembling slightly.

Nesta Carter, Michael Flat, Yusse Bot and Asafaville, all four athletes are his seniors, but he has a strong urge to replace them in the Circle.

"Youhan, you're still young...... Four years from now, the next Olympics will be your stage. ”

Glenn Mills was smiling, there was no doubt about Jamaica's performance in the 4×100m relay, and he knew exactly what the teenager next to him was thinking.

This is his original intention to bring the other party to the Yenching Olympics to watch the competition, only such a field, such a stage, can allow a young athlete to establish an unparalleled competitive spirit.

"Yes, Coach, I will be able to do it one day."

The young man with dirty pigtails said categorically, as if he was talking to himself, and seemed to be giving himself more confidence.

Glenn Mills didn't continue to speak, this is the teenager he chose, he is optimistic about the potential of the other party, but he doesn't need to use any more words at this time. After the men's 4×100m relay race, for the Jamaican track and field team, most of the competition came to an end.

He believes that in the next Olympic Games, the Jamaican team should perform even better!

……

On the field, Ye Qin and Yang Yao, Zhang Pei, Meng and Su Bingtian were dressed in the national flag around the field, and the failure to win the gold medal in this event was the consensus of most people before the game, and it was also an exciting thing for the Chinese relay team to set a new Asian record and win the Olympic silver medal.

Although the gap with the Jamaican team is still eye-catching in terms of results, compared with the Chinese team at last year's World Championships in Osaka, everyone still sees obvious improvement.

The handover of the baton is more processive, and although the strength of the first three batons is relatively weak, it does not open up too much gap by virtue of technical compensation.

Yechin's final shot was even more impeccable, the fastest fourth in 4×100 meters, faster than the equally astonishing fourth of Asafavir.

From 2004 to 2008, in the past four or five years, talents have emerged in the sprint event, and the results have continued to climb, from 2000, when it was difficult to even achieve the Olympic standard, to now winning the 100-meter world championship and the runner-up in the 4×100-meter relay.

"I think my first shot could have been a little faster!"

"My second batter too, I was still a little short of running on the way."

Draped in the national flag, Su Bingtian and Zhang Peimeng looked at the Jamaican team that won the championship on the other side and talked in a low voice.

"You two guys, you've run well, what do you want?"

Yang Yao seemed to have a light on his face, and he reached out and rubbed the hair of both sides.

Yang Yao was already very satisfied with the silver medal in the 4×100m relay race, and he had a lot of imagination before the game, but the final result was the most important thing.

For this silver medal, everyone present can be said to have paid a lot, and now he feels that he has no regrets about his entire career.

Having participated in two Olympic Games and witnessed China's sprinting events go from the trough to the peak, nothing is better for the athletes who are in the middle of it.

He has already considered retiring, and the Shenghai track and field team has sent an invitation before if he retires and returns to the Shenghai team as a coach.

He's not really old, but in the face of increasingly fierce competition, he already knows that his room for improvement is shrinking.

"Maybe it's time to leave!"

Standing on the track and field field, looking at the black and oppressive spectators surrounding the whole field, where the magnesium lights flickered like a starry sky, it was probably the most magnificent scenery he had ever seen.

"Yang Yao, Zhang Peimeng, Su Bingtian, let's take a group photo!"

A reporter from a Chinese media outlet shouted excitedly at the people draped in red flags.

"What about Yechin?"

Hearing the voice of the photographer, Yang Yao, Zhang Peimeng, and Su Bingtian noticed that Ye Qin was not around after hugging them.

After hugging and celebrating with his teammates, Yechin strode straight to the position of the Jamaican relay team and congratulated Yusse Bote, Asafavil and others.

"Yusai, Asafa, the combination of three or four sticks between the two of you is so perfect!"

Yusse Bot blinked and excitedly gave Ye Qin a bear hug, "Ye Chin, if you don't join the Jamaican nationality, if you are afraid of the second blow, the perfect should be able to open for 37 seconds." ”

"Hahaha......" Ye Qin laughed loudly and pointed to the surrounding stands, "Yu Sai, do you know, if you say this sentence and what the audience said, you probably shouldn't want to leave Yanjing." ”

"Hey, I'm just kidding......" Yusse-Bot shrunk his neck, "you have a capital city with a population several times more than Jamaica, and then look at the whole country, brother, my imagination is too limited. ”

"Ye Qin, your relay team is also performing very well!"

Asafavir smiled beside him, looked at the two who were laughing, and also congratulated Ye Chin.

The men's 4×100m can be said to be the winner of the Jamaican team and the Chinese team, the strength of the first three strokes of the Chinese team is in their eyes, and they can finally win a silver medal, such a result is not outstanding.

As Yusse-Bot said, if Yechin had been on their team, the world record of 37.10 seconds would have to go up a lot.

"Thank you, Asafah!"

Yechin thanked Asafavir, who was somewhat introverted.

"Ye Qin, come and take pictures!"

Not far away, Yang Yao's voice came.

Ye Qin smiled and glanced at Yusse Both, and suddenly raised his index finger, "Yuse, we still have a 200-meter race!" ”

"Yes, there's another 200-meter race." Yusse-Bot smiled and nodded.

Ye Qin waved his hand at several people, turned around and ran in the direction of the Chinese relay team.

For them, the end of the men's 4×100m relay basically announced the end of the Olympic Games......

Now we have to look forward to the next World Championships, or the Olympics!
