Chapter 514: The Arena is Our Battlefield
Chapter 514
Following the team of the same group, still passing through the long corridor, as soon as Ye Qin stepped into the Bird's Nest Stadium, the overwhelming noise of the audience suddenly came to his ears again.
"Ye Chin!"
"Ye Chin, come on!"
"World Champion!"
β¦β¦
A shout rang out from the stands.
The whole arena was boiling almost at this moment, and many Chinese in the stands got up from their seats, jumping and jumping.
This is Yechin's second appearance this morning, and he has already played once in the men's 400m race that starts at 9 o'clock, but no matter how many times it is, everyone is giving him the warmest applause and cheers.
After experiencing the men's 100-meter final, Ye Qin's status in the hearts of the Chinese people has once again climbed and improved.
Previously, he was already a world champion and a world record holder, but the lack of an Olympic gold medal is like the lack of the most brilliant jewel in the crown of the crown.
Now, he has!
There are many top events in the world, such as the Super Bowl, the World Cup, the NBA Finals, and so on, but for athletics, the Olympics have more impact than any one event can give, and are truly the focus of global attention.
Ye Chin's performance at the World Championships, breaking world records, etc., can make his name known to a wide range of people in China, but compared with the Olympics, it is now the peak.
After just one or two days of fermentation, Ye Qin at this time is already a truly well-deserved super sports star! The whole country is a household name, and almost as soon as you turn on the TV and look through the newspapers, you can see the picture of Ye Qin winning the final and the photo of the gold medal rising against the five-star red flag.
Under this huge influence, everything about Ye Qin on the Internet was almost instantaneously hyped, including the figure of the award ceremony volunteer who appeared in just a video on the Internet, which has also become a topic of conversation for many people.
Standing in front of the men's 200-meter starting line, Ye Qin exhaled lightly, the men's 400-meter race was not too difficult for him, it happened to be a warm-up race in the morning.
At this time, he felt that his physical condition was very good, and after winning the heaviest men's 100m championship, he was much more relaxed for the next competition.
On the big screen at the scene, the list of the seventh group of players in the men's 200m preliminaries has appeared in front of everyone:
The first way, the last Shingo, Japan;
Second Lane, Alexander Nelson, UK;
Third lane, Sandro Vinaya, Brazil;
Fourth Lane, Jemir Roll, Bahamas;
Fifth Lane, Obina-Metu, Nigeria;
Sixth Dao, Yechin, China;
Seventh, Kurandi-Martina, Netherlands Andris;
Eighth province, Ramyrguliyev, Azerbaijan;
Among the eight players in the preliminaries, several of them are relatively familiar, one is Kurandi Martina of the Netherlands Andrith Islands, this is a strong newcomer, who has made a name for himself in international athletics since '07 and has improved very quickly since entering '08.
The other is Shingo Sueji, the former Asian men's 200m record holder and has long been regarded by Yang Yao as an opponent to surpass and beat. Ye Qin also played against each other a few times during the Asian Games.
After a gunshot, Ye Qin quickly rushed out of the track, he was not the fastest in this group of preliminaries, but the strength of the runners was not particularly strong.
In addition, the top three in each group directly advanced to the 200-meter semi-finals, he basically did not spend too much physical strength, and easily ran the first place on the track in the corner stage, and finally won the first place in the group with a time of 20.55 seconds, and successfully advanced to the men's 200-meter semi-finals held in the evening.
After signaling to the audience, Ye Qin quickly left the arena with the other players.
However, after he got off the court, he did not go directly to the athletes' rest area, but found Yang Yao and Zhang Peimeng waiting there on the sidelines, as well as everyone from the Chinese track and field team.
"Did you advance to the semifinals?" As soon as Ye Qin saw Zhang Peimeng, he immediately asked him about the promotion of the fifth group of preliminaries.
"Alas......" Zhang Peimeng's face was a little miserable, and he shook his head helplessly.
"It's okay, we still have a relay ...... behind us" Ye Qin looked at the other party's expression, and the result should not be too good, he stretched out his hand and patted Zhang Pei Meng, and comforted him.
Suddenly, I saw Yang Yao next to me and Su Bingtian, who came to watch the game together, snickering, a little inexplicable, staring at Zhang Peimeng with his eyes, and asked tentatively, "What's wrong?" β
Zhang Peimeng suddenly jumped up from his position, hugged Ye Qin and laughed: "Promoted!" I ran 20.52 seconds, set a new personal PB, and I advanced to the semifinals! β
"What?!" Ye Qin was a little stunned by the other party at first, then came to his senses, and punched Zhang Peimeng with a smile, "You guys are joining hands to scare me!" β
"Haha......" Zhang Peimeng's face was overflowing with joy, in the men's 100m event Zhang Peimeng advanced to the second round of the semi-finals, in the men's 200-meter event, he also advanced to the semi-finals, it can be said that he is satisfied with his performance enough.
Previously, many people compared him with Yang Yao, saying that he was Yang Yao's second, but his current performance is much better than Yang Yao.
For a young athlete, his eyes have been on Ye Qin, although he has not been able to achieve championship after championship like Ye Qin, but the time of 20.52 seconds, according to the previous national record, Zhang Peimeng has broken.
And among Chinese athletes, he is now second only to Ye Qin, ranking second.
Several people were cheering with each other for a while, and some spectators in the stands noticed this, which immediately caused a burst of excited shouts.
However, the shouts were quickly given to the other new Chinese athletes.
At 11:10 a.m., the preliminaries of the men's 110m hurdles officially began.
Although Ji Wei is a little unfamiliar to many people in China, as long as it is a competition in which Chinese athletes participate, especially in the track and field sprint sprint competition, it can cause cheers from the Chinese audience.
Ji Wei's performance was good, and in the first group of the men's 110m hurdles, he successfully advanced to the second round of the semi-final with a time of 13.57 seconds.
Then Shi Dongpeng, who appeared in the third group of the preliminaries, also lived up to expectations and successfully qualified for the second round of the semi-finals with a time of 15.53 seconds.
For many viewers who love track and field, or have only begun to pay attention to track and field in recent years, the performance of Chinese male athletes in track events has made many people feel more and more happy.
In the men's 100m, Ye Qin won the championship, in addition to Gu Kai and Zhang Peimeng both entered the second round, and the men's 200m preliminaries ended, and the three Chinese athletes also successfully advanced to the second round. Now in the men's 110m hurdles event, three groups of preliminaries have just been held, and the two Chinese players have advanced again.
That huge sense of happiness and honor has made many Chinese people who are waiting for the performance of Chinese athletes in the track and field field of the Olympic Games addicted to this moment.
The men's 110-meter hurdles preliminaries continued one after another, and when it came to the eighth group of men's 110-meter hurdles preliminaries, the audience instantly shouted loudly, and the sound was like a storm.
Liu Yangyu is here!
Before the 2007 World Championships, no, it should be said that before Ye Qin broke the men's 100m world record, Ye Qin, although his popularity in China was very high, and he established his position through one competition after another, his influence in China was somewhat inferior to Liu Yangyu.
Olympic champion in the men's 110m hurdles, world record holder, and Grand Slam winner, Liu Yangyu's popularity can be said to be a well-deserved representative of Chinese sports before this year, even Da Yao is inferior to some extent.
In 04 and 05, Liu Yangyu's performance was too popular with the Chinese people, and he was a Chinese business card to the outside world at that time.
Seeing Liu Yangyu appear on the field, the applause and cheers given by the audience to Liu Yangyu were no weaker than Ye Qin.
Ye Qin, Yang Yao and others were staring at the middle of the arena with burning eyes, they were all clear about Liu Yangyu's previous injuries, and now seeing Liu Yangyu appear, several people's hearts were slightly hanging.
"If you can play, you should be fine!"
"Look at the look is not particularly tight......"
"Come on, Liu Yangyu!"
In a corner below the stands, Ye Qin and Yang Yao exchanged softly.
Although they and Liu Yangyu are quite familiar, they are not together in their usual training projects, and some of the inside information is not very clear to everyone, Ye Qin knows some of the information that Coach Sun Chaosheng told him face-to-face, but in the end, he is not sure what Liu Yangyu's specific situation is.
On the big screen at the scene, Liu Yangyu's group of men's 110-meter hurdles players has appeared in front of everyone.
Ye Qin hurriedly glanced at the list of athletes, although he is not a men's 110m hurdles athlete, he is still familiar with the outstanding players in this event.
The previous groups of outstanding players in the 110-meter hurdles have basically been on the field, and there are almost no top players in this group except for Liu Yangyu.
However, the biggest concern now is whether his injury will affect his form too much.
βOn your marks!β
The sound of the players in position on the field sounded.
In the entire stadium, the originally noisy scene suddenly quieted down at this time.
The three games that everyone paid the most attention to in the morning, and now there is only this one left, and this tacit understanding hardly needs to be emphasized by the live broadcast.
After a gunshot, in front of the starting line, Liu Yangyu had already rushed out.
Ye Qin stared at Liu Yangyu's start and hurdle movements, and could see that Liu Yangyu's start was very comfortable, running very comfortably, and there didn't seem to be many traces of injury on his body......
Wait a minute......
Ye Qin's eyes suddenly lit up, and Yang Yao, who was next to Ye Qin, also saw something unusual at this time.
"This is a seven-step upper bar? ~β
"Really did it, from eight steps to seven steps!"
Ye Qin was a little shocked at this time, in the 110-meter hurdles race, he had to cross the first hurdle with the number of steps suitable for each of them in the distance of 13.72 meters from the start to the first hurdle, continue to run through nine 9.14-meter hurdles, and then run the last 14.02 meters to the finish line.
Due to the segmented nature of the distance, the athlete must choose a fixed number of steps to cross the first hurdle according to their physical condition (height, leg length), i.e. seven or eight steps, depending on the individual's characteristics.
The first in the world to adopt a seven-step hurdle was Finland's Arto Bryggare, a Nordic flyer who dared to eat "crab" because of his height of 2.04m. Brugaret, who was tall and legged to even feel aggrieved by his eight-step hurdles, invented the seven-step hurdle, a technique that helped him win third place in the 110m hurdles at Los Angeles 1984 and silver in 13.46 seconds at the inaugural World Championships in 1986.
Liu Yangyu has used the eight-step hurdle technique before, and his height and legs are long enough, but it may have been because of his explosiveness, and he has always used the eight-step hurdle, this time obviously to cope with the Olympics and the challenge of Dai Long Robles.
It's just that what Ye Qin, Yang Yao and others didn't expect was that this adjustment had been completed in Liu Yangyu's injury stage.
This sudden appearance may not be anything special in the eyes of outsiders, but in the distance of track and field athletes like Ye Qin and Yang Yao, it is not a big change.
It can be said that this adjustment is more difficult than changing the starting foot in the men's 1200-meter sprint, and the rhythm and stride length are a huge adjustment.
And at the moment when these thoughts flashed through Ye Qin's mind, the eight 110-meter hurdles players on the field were already speeding past one after another.
13.37 seconds!
When Liu Yangyu crossed the finish line first, the first result of this group appeared on the on-site timing board.
Liu Yangyu glanced at the results on the timing card, and the whole person suddenly opened his arms and ran excitedly in the middle of the field.
It was just a preliminaries, but after the run, there seemed to be a strong pressure that needed to be vented at this moment.
Just like Ye Qin ran the men's 100m preliminaries, this first race of his debut was the most stressful for athletes like them, who were highly anticipated and watched by the whole people!
And now, his figure is speeding across the field!
He did it!
Pre-match doubts, self-doubts, visible and invisible pressures, worries about challenging a strong opponent after breaking his world record, and everything else seemed to be vented through this preliminaries.
Others may not be able to understand this excitement, but Ye Qin, Yang Yao, Zhang Peimeng and others present know best.
You need an appearance, an appearance that builds confidence and breaks the layers of pressure!
It's like the start of a race!
Nothing would have been possible without a start.
And a perfect start will make the athlete adjust to a very good state, and sometimes when the athlete reaches a certain level, it is not only the talent and skill that will be competed, but also the mentality.
A hundredth of a second, or even a thousandth of a second, is often a contest of mentality.
Obviously, in this game, Liu Yangyu, who experienced an injury, finally let go of his state to run.
Ye Qin stood up from his position and clapped vigorously with both hands.
He remembered what Coach Sun Chaosheng said to him that day, and his excellent performance in the men's 100m event would reduce a lot of pressure on other athletes.
But at this moment, Ye Qin felt that in fact, even without him, he believed that Liu Yangyu would still be able to perform well!
We are athletes, and the arena is our battlefield!
