Chapter 181: A New Record

The silent Karozecchini Olympic Stadium suddenly erupted into a huge wave of sound, and almost as soon as the gunshots were heard, the scene entered a frenzied atmosphere.

The blue, white and red Italian flag shook and fluttered in the stands, and almost the entire audience couldn't help but stand up, sticking their necks out, observing every move on the field.

Ye Qin had maintained a high degree of concentration until the second gunshot, controlling his mentality to the greatest extent so that he would not be unbalanced, and there would be a rush again.

The first time he rushed, he consciously pressed the gun, but the result was not wonderful, fortunately he had predicted this situation, and the second time the gun sounded, he maintained a cautious and high degree of concentration.

At the moment when the gun rang out, his legs suddenly kicked on the starting gear, got up, accelerated, and rushed out towards the front of the starting line.

10 meters, 20 meters, 30 meters......

After the gunshot, Ye Qin started to accelerate in the corner, Ye Qin lowered his head, his body maintained a slight forward attitude, his stride was stretched, his arms swung rapidly, and his starting acceleration was much better than when he first practiced track and field, but there was still a gap compared to the other players in this group.

At a distance of twenty meters, the cheers of the audience were like waves, and the sound continued to expand.

At this moment, the audience and the audience in front of the TV saw the fourth lane Italian player Andrew Howe, who showed super speed and explosiveness just by starting.

Ye Qin only felt that there was suddenly an amazingly fast footsteps around him, and suddenly, he felt that a figure around him was approaching quickly, and the starting gap brought by the number of forward stretches was almost wiped out by the other party in just twenty meters.

The top three finishes in the men's 100m at the World Junior Championships were 10.29 seconds, 10.31 seconds and 10.34 seconds, and Italy's Andrew Howe is a strong contender for the men's 100m in his own right, with his acceleration and first half ability far outpacing the other men's 200m runners in the group.

With a fast cadence and a swift swing of his arms, Andrew Howe stood out in just 20 meters, and after 30 meters, Andrew Howe almost entered the fastest mid-way running stage, surpassing all other competitors in relative distance.

In just 30 meters, Andrew Howe detonated the whole field.

Ye Qin felt unprecedented pressure, Andrew Howe's starting speed was fast, but he didn't expect the other party to be so fast, in just a few dozen meters, Andrew Howe was almost in a neck and neck position with him, and as the curve continued to move forward, he was even about to overtake him.

It's so fast!

Despite the impact of his first shot, Andrew Howe didn't seem to be affected much, his feet were fast, and he kept increasing his speed to the highest level.

This kind of competition, which is watched by the whole of Italy, and this kind of situation of being cheered and shouted by the whole audience, will certainly bring unimaginable pressure to Andrew Howe, but in the same way, this athlete, who has participated in track and field events in Europe and internationally since 2001, has long been able to cope with the long jump, triple jump, 100m, 200m, high jump, hurdles and many other competitions.

And because he was young, not only was he not crushed by the pressure, but he had a more prominent outburst and performance.

Forty meters later, Ye Qin began to enter the high-speed field of running on the way, at this moment he had raised his head, his body gradually straightened, his body was more and more stretched, and the speed was getting faster and faster, and Andrew Howe, who was on Ye Chin's left, had begun to overtake him by one position in the corner.

Ye Qin's heart trembled slightly, he knew very well that at this distance, he was far from entering the top speed stage, but Andrew Howe's absolute speed was not slow, and the powerful explosive power allowed him to rush directly to the first position without running many steps.

But the competition has only just begun, and it is far from the point where the players will give up the competition.

Andrew Howe was in great shape in the eyes of many Italian spectators in this race, showing amazing sprinting ability.

For most athletes, playing at home is definitely a good thing, and it is easy to play at a high level to be able to play in a familiar venue and have an audience that knows you to cheer on.

At this time, Andrew Howe is obviously playing at a super level.

Since the start, in just a few tens of meters, he has surpassed all the runners present and taken the lead.

The other runners also discovered Andrew Howe's amazing speed at this time, and they were secretly surprised by the explosiveness he displayed.

Forty meters, fifty meters, sixty meters, seventy meters......

South Africa's Leigh Julius was also very impressive in the first half of the race, in the semi-finals he had a brief fight with Yechin, when Yechin was almost in the last twenty meters to catch up with the other party, at this time, Leigh Julius in the sixth lane also felt that there were players around him quickly approaching him, at first he thought it was Yechin, but soon found that it was not Andrew Howe from the fourth lane.

He's a first-half finisher himself, and with a vague sense of threat between two lanes, you can imagine just how swift Andrew Howe's first half of the race was.

In the arena, almost all the runners entered the high-speed stage of running on the way.

Ye Qin felt that his speed had just started, and Andrew Howe was already two positions ahead of him at the moment in the cornering stage, he knew very well that his current speed ability in the first half of the race was not ideal, the first half of the 100 meters, it is not an exaggeration to say, he was about 10 seconds 7, 8 level, and Andrew Howe, at least around 10 seconds 3, the gap between the two at this time is a very normal phenomenon, what he needs is to grasp the second half.

After 70 meters, the form of the field gradually became clear.

Andrew Howe rushed to the first place, with South Africa's Leigh Julius and Trinidad and Tobago's Jameel James in second and third respectively.

The two were followed by Canada's Hank Palmer in lane 2 and Briton Julian Thomas in lane 3.

Ye Qin is in sixth place, and at the distance of 70 meters, he did not fall to the last place in the relative position, which can be regarded as his huge improvement in the first half of the race through a lot of training and competition for more than a year.

According to the speed list of the 100-meter segment, the excellent 100-meter runners have entered the stage of absolute speed at this moment, and the 200-meter run, at this distance, is almost close to the maximum speed of the individual.

Andrew Howe, with the advantage brought by the start and the explosive state of the home game, ran this stage on the way, far behind everyone. After passing Yechin in lane, he was almost on the verge of catching Leigh-Julius in lane six.

Ye Chin's speed is getting faster and faster, but at this moment, he has not yet reached the stage of his absolute speed.

80 meters, 90 meters, 100 meters......

In the 100-meter sprint, the top runners in this distance are not as fast as the 50-80 meters in the section results. But in the 200m event, this distance is the ultimate speed of any runner on the way.

Yechin's speed also increased to the extreme, and with his excellent cornering skills, he began to gradually catch up with the competitors who were ahead of him in relative distance.

He is entering the top speed, and for him who is very good in the second half of the race, starting from 80 meters is the stage when his speed is fully up, which is one of the reasons why many excellent 200m and 400m runners often feel that they have just reached the finish line after running 100 meters.

Curves into straights.

The cheers of the audience reached the highest!

At this time, the players above the field who had a difference in front and back due to the number of forward stretches gradually ran at a rapid speed of about 110 meters, and the gap between them was gradually pulled to a horizontal line.

Andrew Howe, who ran in the first position, took the lead and killed directly.

He was followed by South Africa's Leigh Julius and Trinidad and Tobago's Jameel James, who were almost neck-and-neck, and also entered the straight about four or five metres behind Andrew Howe.

He was followed by Canada's Hank Palmer in lane 2 and British's Julian Thomas in lane 3...... And, Yechin!

In the final corner into the straight, Ye Qin's speed was completely at the extreme, catching up with the second and third lane riders, and the three of them were almost in a row.

"Andrew!"

"Andrew!"

The Italian crowd in the stadium chanted.

Andrew Howe's advantage was so obvious that in just one corner he had a big lead over the rest of the runners and raced straight on the straight towards the finish line.

"Catch up, catch up!"

Ye Qin felt that there was a voice in his heart shouting wildly!

Even though he has been running hard in the first half of the race, there is still a big gap with other runners, and at this time, in the second half, he can only use all his strength and fight!

This is his last game of the World Youth Championships, the coach is not around, and there is no one to guide before the game!

But so what!

Along the way, many times he was alone!

Rush Rush!

Rush up!

120 meters, 130 meters, 140 meters......

At the moment of entering the straight, after a 120-meter-long rapid run, Ye Qin already felt that the speed of the other players had declined, this speed decline was very subtle, and it was absolutely invisible to the naked eye, and when all the players were struggling to sprint, it would only give people a feeling that the players were running faster and faster.

At this stage, Ye Qin was like a sudden force in the second half of the race, and suddenly directly surpassed Canada's Hank Palmer and Britain's Julian Thomas in the third lane, who entered the straight with him. And quickly pulled in towards Jamil James and Leigh Julius in front.

At this time, there are still fifty, forty, and thirty meters from the finish line......

The pace is fast like a galloping wheel, and the explosion of the highest speed makes every fast muscle of the body beat, and in the flashing camera, you can almost see the faces of the players who have become hideous because they are too hard.

Jamil James, who had played against Yechin in the 400m at last year's World Junior Championships, was overtaken by Yechin 50 metres from the finish line, passed by Yechin in the final 40 metres, and went one step further to catch up with South Africa's Leigh Julius in second place.

In the last race, Yechin almost passed Leigh-Julius in the last ten meters, and in this final, Yechin had already caught up with the opponent thirty meters away from the finish line, and at a distance of about twenty meters, he threw off Leigh-Julius and ran to second place.

"Andrew Howe!"

The moment Yechin overtook Leigh-Julius, his eyes were locked on Andrew Howe!

"Is there still a chance?!"

When Ye Qin saw Andrew Howe, the other party was still more than five meters away from him.

The huge gap opened in the first half of the race, even if it was the last 20 meters, it was obvious that there was a feeling of not being able to run, but the finish line was already in sight.

Andrew Howe crossed the finish line first!

28 seconds in 20 seconds!

A clear number appeared on the yellow chronograph board!

The audience shouted wildly!

After crossing the finish line, Andrew Howe barely stopped, and pounced directly on the spectator seats next to the track!

He won Italy's second gold medal at the World Junior Championships and set a world junior record in the men's 200m!

Ye Qin crossed the finish line for the second time behind the other party, and almost at the moment of crossing the line, the whole person almost stumbled and was unstable, looking at Andrew Howe, who was cheering in the distance, he simply sat directly on the runway.

Tired, tired, running 200 meters with all his might, although it is as hard as reaching less than 400 meters, he has almost slept all day during the day today, but the feeling of fatigue is still there.

"My acceleration from the start was terrible!"

Ye Qin was a little resentful and unwilling in his heart, if the race was extended by another 30 meters, no, 20 meters, he would be confident of surpassing Andrew Howe, but the 200-meter race was like that.

What's more, Andrew Howe's amazing result of 20.28 seconds also gave Ye Qin a great shock.

He was too far away by the other party in the first half of the race, and the difference between the two in the 100m was almost more than 0.5 seconds, and even in the second half of the race, he had already exerted his speed to the extreme, but still failed to catch up.

After the men's 400m and men's 200m races, Ye Qin has become more and more deeply aware of his own problems, and the starting reaction and acceleration in the first half of the race are all big problems.

If he still has proper control in the first 1200 meters in the 400 meters, and he almost plays at full strength in the 200 meters, but even so, compared to other competitors, the gap is still obvious.

No matter how good he was in maintaining his speed in the second half, it was still difficult to beat the kind of opponent who forced the distance in the first half. After all, it's a sprint race, you're catching up, and everyone else is running forward!

While Ye Qin was sitting on the track gasping and thinking about his weaknesses, and was determined to make up for it, the results of the men's 200-meter final began to appear one by one on the big screen at the scene.

1. Fourth lane, Andrew Howe, Italy, reaction 0.146 seconds, time 20.28 seconds;

2. Fifth lane, Ye Qin, China, reaction 0.192 seconds, score 20.49 seconds;

3. 6th lane, Leigh-Julius, South Africa, reaction 0.134 seconds, time 20.88 seconds;

4. 7th lane, Jamil James, Trinidad and Tobago, reaction 0.164 seconds, time 21.00 seconds;

5. Second lane, Hank Palmer, Canada, reaction 0.148 seconds, 21.13 seconds;

6. Third lane, Julian Thomas, GBR, reaction 0.159 seconds, time 21.13 seconds;

7. First lane, Richie Fton, GBR, reaction 0.155 seconds, 21.17 seconds;

8. Eighth lane, Samuel Aad, Ghana, reaction 0.175 seconds, time 21.20;

"20.49 seconds!"

Ye Qin was still slightly stunned the moment the results came out, but he didn't expect that there was a gap of more than 0.2 seconds between him and Andrew Howe, and he imagined that there would be a distance of twenty or thirty meters to catch up with the other party, but at this time, he was somewhat uncertain.

After all, the other party was ahead of him and crossed the finish line first, and he probably knew that the other party would be a lot ahead of him, but he still didn't expect the advantage of more than 0.2 seconds.

But this result is ...... Ye Qin felt that his brain was a little deprived of oxygen, and he didn't remember something when he saw his results.

At this time, when Zhou Bin on the sidelines saw Ye Qin win a silver medal again, he was excited and regretful, how good it would be if this men's 200-meter race could win gold!

However, now this result seems to have exceeded the A standard of the Olympic Games!

Wait a minute...... 20.49 seconds!

In the central hospital of Grosseto, when Nie Fangping saw the results on the big screen, he suddenly grabbed Yu Zhengwei next to him.

"Less, you help me to sit next to me first!"

"Coach Nie, are you okay?" Yu Zhengwei, who was watching the game with all his body, heard Nie Fangping's voice, and hurriedly took time out, helped him up, and sat down on the seat next to him.

In the public area of the hospital, many patients and medical staff applauded at this time, the Olympic Games are imminent, Athens is not far from Italy itself, and the Olympic atmosphere is still quite strong. In particular, Andrew Howe won two gold medals for Italy, which has become the focus of attention of many Italians now.

"Yechin ran so well! Another silver medal! ”

After Yu Zhengwei helped Nie Fangping sit down, he still had the competition scene in his mind, Ye Qin suddenly killed the second place from the fifth or sixth position from the bottom of the straight at the last moment, that sense of speed and impact, which made him still enthusiastic at the moment, and vaguely produced, he should not have chosen the long jump as the main event, he should have gone to the sprint, the fierceness of the competition is really unforgettable.

"By the way, Coach Nie, yesterday Ye Qin's 400-meter runner-up reached the B standard of the Olympic Games, and his result today should be the A standard, right? I envy Ye Qin so much that he can go to the Olympics! ”

Nie Fangping sat on the seat next to him, his eyes were red, and there seemed to be some liquid flowing out of his eyes, but there was a smile on his face.

Looking at Yu Zhengwei, who was sitting next to him, he reached out and patted the other party's shoulder gently, and said almost dreamily: "A standard, it must be A standard." Ye Qin also broke the ...... Breaking the national record! ”
