Chapter 342: National Games 200m Final
"Ye Chin's speed is really fast!"
"If Ye Qin can run 4×100 meters, I guess we still have a competitive advantage in this event."
At the end of the men's 4×400m relay preliminaries, several coaches in Haixi Province who watched the game on the sidelines couldn't help but sigh to each other.
Among them, the coach Liao Champion, who is in charge of the relay team project, is even more emotional, although the relay project pays attention to cooperation, there is good cooperation, even the average level of players can run very good results, but when you really see the emergence of the top players, you will know what it is to crush with strength.
The overall performance of the relay team in Haixi Province tonight is not bad, although it is not as strong as the three kings of Liao Province, Guangdong Province and Shenghai Province at this time, and the Guizhou Provincial Team in the late stage of track and field has shown extremely strong strength, but in several relay events, the women's 4×100 meters, men's and women's 4×400 meters have advanced to the finals, and only the men's 4×100 meters have been eliminated in the preliminaries.
The men's 4×100m in Haixi Province has veteran Guo Fan and newcomer Zhang Jiehua, both of whom are at a good level, but there is still a significant gap compared with other teams, and they unfortunately did not advance in the end.
This is also the reason for the sigh of several coaches in Hercynian Province on the sidelines, in their opinion, if Ye Qin can participate in the men's 4×100m event, basically with Ye Qin's speed ability in the second half of the final race, the total improvement can at least improve the level of the relay team by 0.5 seconds to 1 second.
In the 4×100m event, with such a level of improvement, it is not as simple as advancing to the final, but directly competing for the championship.
But some things are like this, being an athlete to the level of Ye Qin and Liu Yangyu, whether it is the national team or the local team, it is all coaxing. Especially in athletics, which has attracted a lot of attention all over the world, it is impossible for local teams to do it.
Like Liu Yangyu, all the schedule arrangements are directly responsible for the Athletics Management Center, even the Shenghai Sports Bureau is not qualified to ask. And Ye Qin's first-layer relationship is still in Mizuki, and he can sign a contract with any local team he wants.
After the men's 4×400m preliminaries on October 19, Ye Qin temporarily ended the event.
In the middle of the schedule of the National Games, although the 19th is the preliminaries, the final will not be until the last day of the track and field events of the National Games, that is, on the 22nd.
On the next 20th and 21st, Ye Qin will prepare to participate in the men's 200m race.
On October 20, Ye Qin ran a men's 200-meter preliminary, the time was around 10 a.m., Ye Qin ran a time of 20.83 seconds and successfully qualified. In the evening, the most watched event at the Olympic Sports Center was the final of the men's 110m hurdles.
Liu Yangyu, as the most popular sports star in China at this time, can be said to have received great attention from the audience in every move. One of the reasons why the relay event on the 19th was able to attract many spectators was that it was Liu Yangyu's first appearance in the National Games, the men's 110m hurdles preliminaries.
The final result of the race was basically no suspense, with a time of 13.10 seconds, which was the result of winning many competitions in the international arena.
On October 21, the men's 200m semifinals will be at 9:50 a.m. and the men's 200m final at 20:40 p.m.
Although Ye Qin needs to complete two games today, for the kind of intensive schedule he has experienced in the past, the competition arrangement like the National Games is relatively easy for him.
In the men's 200m semifinals, Ye Qin successfully qualified for the final in the evening with a time of 20.67 seconds, which also began to attract the enthusiasm of many spectators for the upcoming men's 200m final.
If we talk about the men's 400-meter competition, Ye Qin's appearance has made many people feel excited, and when it comes to the men's 200 meters, Ye Qin's influence and appeal have almost increased geometrically.
This is the Chinese's first sprint world championship in the world, and it is also a men's 200-meter sprint, and its weight and gold content are not mixed with the slightest water.
In the Olympic Sports Center Stadium on the evening of the 21st, the warm atmosphere of the whole stadium did not lose the men's 110-meter hurdles final with Liu Yangyu playing the day before.
The popularity of a sport and its familiarity with the public will naturally make many viewers make choices when watching the game, but in the same way, the appeal of a top sports star is also amazing, and it can turn some items that are not familiar to the public into special fame. This is true on the edge of the men's 110m hurdles, not to mention the men's 200m now.
"Nervous?"
The location of the indoor check-in area of the Olympic Sports Center, Ye Qin looked at Zhang Peimeng's face was a little stiff, and couldn't help but lean to the other party's side, and touched him with his shoulder in a low voice.
"It's the first time I've participated in such a big competition, and I'm a little panicked."
Zhang Peimeng and Ye Qin are about the same age, only a few months younger, and both of them can be regarded as participating in the National Games for the first time, but the experience of facing the competition is heaven and earth.
Judging from the World Junior Championships in which Ye Qin participated in the earliest, it was already one of the highest-level events among young athletes, and then there were competitions such as the National City Games. In the World Junior Championships and Olympic Games, IAAF Grand Prix and World Championships and so on.
The level of the competition and the opponents of the competition are not at the same level at all, the National Games is no longer an event that Ye Qin needs to wait for, and his personal strength and level are there, but for Zhang Peimeng, this is the first time he has participated in such a major event, all the way from the semifinals of the preliminaries to the finals that are about to start, and he has to be excited.
"Don't be too nervous, there are a lot of athletes you are familiar with, just think of it as a normal game in the team." Yang Yao, who was standing on the other side, heard the conversation between Ye Qin and Zhang Peimeng, and also came over and comforted him.
As he spoke, he pointed at Ye Qin again, and then said, "With him, do you still want to compete for the championship?" ”
"Reaching the final has already exceeded my expectations, as long as it's not last."
Hearing Yang Yao say this, Zhang Peimeng couldn't help but smile on his face, and his nervous expression suddenly eased a little.
Turning his head to look at the other runners in the 200m final, most of them still looked relatively calm, obviously anticipating the outcome of the next race.
This is not that any athlete has lost the ambition to compete for the championship, but has recognized the gap in absolute strength, as far as Ye Qin's results in the preliminaries and semifinals are concerned, except for Yang Yao, who has the opportunity to run out, everyone else does not have that strength for the time being.
It is no exaggeration to say that with Ye Qin here, tonight's men's 200-meter final, everyone is accompanying the prince to study.
plus a Yang Yao, who was once the first person in the national men's 200 meters, and the rest of the people can really compete for the third place.
Time passed little by little, and at 20:35 in the evening, the atmosphere of the whole stadium in the Olympic Sports Center Stadium had reached its climax.
When the list of eight players in the men's 200-meter final of this National Games appeared in front of the audience on the big screen at the scene, it caused everyone to cheer.
Just like the previous Grand Prix in Shenghai, everyone watched a lot of races all night, but what really made everyone look forward to it was actually one or two races.
Tonight's eagerly awaited crowd is undoubtedly the men's 200m final.
Ye Qin stood in the middle of the runway, looking at the dense crowd of spectators in the stands outside the lights, and once again felt a strong motivation in his heart.
The audience was chanting his name, many of them didn't know much about track and field competitions, and they didn't have any interest in sports, but because of his appearance, he was able to compete with top athletes in Europe and the United States on the world stage, so many people were willing to come here on this night and come to this arena to watch him compete.
With their actions, they are expressing their support for themselves!
Just like the moment the national flag was raised at the World Championships, Ye Qin knew that he would no longer run just for himself in the future, but also for the motherland, for the people who shouted his name behind him, waved the flag, and cheered for him.
This glory is what he deserves, and when he enjoys this aura, he must also bear the responsibility on his shoulders.
"Thank you for supporting me! And I won't let you down! ”
Ye Qin glanced around the audience, beckoned slightly, and listened to the cheers in the stands again, and his heart was hot. This is what he once dreamed of, and now that he has achieved it, as long as he can keep running, he will keep rushing forward until he can't live up to the expectations.
"Each in place......
The voice of the starter on the sidelines reminding the players to be in place sounded, Ye Qin took a breath lightly, did not raise his head to look at the audience on the stage again, and did not set his eyes on Yang Yao, Zhang Peimeng and others of his opponents and teammates.
When an athlete reaches a certain level, many times what needs to be defeated is himself, and in this game, Ye Qin's goal is also to defeat himself. There is no strong opponent to stimulate, but in such a arena, at a moment when many domestic audiences are paying attention to him, he needs to break through!
Syllable!
Race guns rang out!
