Chapter 561: 200 meters starts

"At the World Championships in Berlin, Ye Qin defended the men's 100m world championship!"

"Ye Qin has achieved another great result, winning the 100-meter championship and setting a new world record!"

"Where is the limit of human beings, 9.55 seconds may not be the end!"

"Last night's strongest duel in human history, Ye Qin created a new miracle in 9.55 seconds!"

"On the night of miracles, Chinese athlete Ye Qin once again defended the 100-meter crown!"

……

On August 17th, when Europe was still late at night and ushered in a new day in the East, there was already a lot of noise in major newspapers, networks and television stations.

Many viewers who did not watch the men's 100m final for the first time last night also turned on the TV, but in just three or five minutes, they saw the news of last night's World Championships on various TV days.

Many news television stations have repeatedly broadcast images of last night's men's 100m final, while others have broadcast the news back and forth in a series of floating text news boxes under the TV screens.

Since the 2007 World Championships in Osaka, Ye Qin has unexpectedly won two gold medals in the men's 100m and 200m.

The popularity of the sprint event in China has been very expanding, and in 08, Ye Qin and Yusse Bot have had many duels on the world record, and then at the Bird's Nest Stadium of the Yenching Olympics, the men's 100m game was launched.

After Ye Qin defeated Yusse Bot with a time of 9.61 seconds, breaking the world record or winning the gold medal, the men's 100-meter sprint has been one of the hot news in China.

At this time, Ye Qin, compared with Liu Yangyu a few years ago, is still more popular in China, many young sports students, track and field enthusiasts, encouraged by the legendary achievements created by Ye Qin, one after another stepped on the runway.

Before the start of this year's World Championships, both at home and abroad are actually in a state of high attention, and the major spinach companies in Europe have formulated a series of odds early to attract people's attention.

And in China, it has reached the point where a piece of news about Yechin can cause a high degree of topic.

Last night's men's 100m World Championships final, although it was already in the early hours of the morning in China, but the statistics of the central five channel after the game, the ratings are still very amazing, almost not inferior to the scene when the World Cup final was broadcast in 06.

When this result was transmitted back to China, almost all the General Administration of Sports, Shuimu University, and Ye Qin's high school, Xiushui No. 2 Middle School, immediately hung red banners of celebration.

CCTV's various channels basically took a minute or two out to broadcast yesterday's game back and forth. The picture of the game for more than ten seconds is presented in the eyes of all the viewers.

Just in the domestic craze for the men's 100m news of last night's World Championships, it has come to the afternoon, and Berlin, Europe, has finally ushered in the first ray of sunshine in the morning.

At the 12th World Athletics Championships where the Chinese team was stationed, when Ye Qin washed up and left the dormitory, almost all the athletes and coaches he met along the way congratulated him.

After winning the championship last night, Ye Qin did not start a special celebration after a brief interview, but quickly returned to the station with the coach and staff.

And today, because there is no competition, Yechin will have a press conference and an award ceremony that he will need to attend in the evening.

After a brief breakfast at the team's residence, Ye Qin first went to the track and field with his teammates of the relay team for warm-up training.

It's not very intense, it's basically a few laps of jogging, and then do a little bit of starting training and strength training, so that the body can maintain its competitive state and not fall silent soon after a race.

Then followed Chen Zhongzhou and Zhuang Wei in the team, and carried out muscle massage and relaxation at the team station, and the men's 100-meter race was not too intense compared to the 200-meter and 400-meter. But last night I ran the semi-finals and finals in succession, and after two games, it will still cause a certain burden on the body.

Especially like the men's 100-meter final, the seemingly short 100-meter distance is actually in an overloaded state of exercise, if you don't rest after the race, it will still easily cause physical discomfort and even injury.

After finishing this series of work, Ye Qin arrived at the Berlin Olympic Stadium in the evening, under the leadership of Feng Shuyong, the leader of the team.

First, a press conference was held in the press conference hall for more than an hour, and in the face of many Chinese and foreign media reporters, Ye Qin was already comfortable with such a scene.

His English is good, and he can basically understand many questions asked by reporters by himself, and when he answers, some of them are directly answered in Chinese and English.

This is much more advantageous than many famous athletes in China, attending such a press conference.

Previously, in the face of such a large-scale press conference, the most appropriate response was Da Yao, who has been playing and living in the United States for a long time, has good English skills, and can give people a relatively close distance when communicating.

Now there is only Ye Qin, in the face of many reporters, Ye Qin is already a world-class sprint superstar at this time, and the questions thrown by various reporters are almost answered without leakage.

On some questions about him and Yusse Both, Ye Qin was able to respond tactfully, which caused many reporters present to laugh.

After the press conference, we watched the finals of the women's 3,000m steeplechase and the men's 10,000m at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin.

The time soon came to the big event of the evening, the men's 100m victory ceremony.

As Yechin stood on the highest podium, IAAF President Ranmini Diack presented him with the gold medal, and the March of the Volunteers sounded throughout the stadium.

Tens of thousands of spectators stood up in unison, including thousands of Chinese spectators who flew from China to Berlin to watch the game, as well as many overseas Chinese students, all sang loudly along with the solemn music.

In the face of such a scene, although Ye Qin has experienced many times in the world-class arena, every time the national anthem sounds, his heart is still difficult to hide his excitement and surging.

From the perspective of his entire growth experience, his achievements today are inseparable from his personal talent and hard work, as well as the country's support and cultivation for him.

After the medal ceremony, Yechin left the field with Usse Bot and Jason Gaby, and watched the final event of the women's 100m final on the evening of 17 August.

During this period, there were some brief exchanges between Yechin and Usse Bot and Jason Gaby, but the atmosphere between Yusey Bot and Jason Gaby was a bit more solemn.

Tonight's women's 100m race is another showdown between Jamaica and the United States.

Before the Jamaican men's sprint was on the rise, the women's sprint was already very strong and often competed with the United States.

In recent years, Jamaica's sprint program has ushered in a talent explosion, and both men's and women's events have become the strongest competitors of the American team.

When the eight sprinters stood on the track, Ye Qin couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Jamaica's comprehensive strength in the 100-meter and 200-meter sprint events at this time is really the world's first.

Of the eight finalists, four Jamaican women (there are only three quotas per country in one event, but the last year's World Champions qualified directly), the United States team has only two players, and the other two are Bahamian athletes.

In the end, the women's 100m was unexpected, with both Shelly Ann Fraser and Krens Stewart of Jamaica winning and finishing second. Carmelie Tajette of the United States finished third.

It is worth mentioning that in the last women's 100m event, the champion and runner-up were still in 11.01 seconds, and the top three women's times in this year's women's time all ran into 11 seconds, and reached an astonishing 10.73 seconds, 10.75 seconds and 10.90 seconds.

Although this time is still far from the 10.49 seconds set by the legendary female flyer Joyna, it can also be seen from the side that the level of both men's and women's sprint events is improving.

Yechin had previously learned from Yusse Bot that sprinting in Jamaica was a national event and a life-changing one.

Many teenagers and girls, from the age of seven or eight to their teens, will be lucky from their homes by their coaches before dawn, and carry out various running training on the slopes of the village, on the loess road, or in other places.

In fact, the conditions are very rudimentary, and the training is also very difficult, and many young people do not persevere in the end, and are eliminated halfway through or go to various other jobs due to various economic and talent reasons.

But in the end, those teenagers who have the talent to persevere have ushered in a brilliant future.

This is the case with Yusse Bot and Asafavil, who have been training since they entered elementary school and were led into sprinting.

When it comes to racial genes, in fact, many countries in the Caribbean and Central America are basically the same, including black people in West Africa and so on. Although these countries have produced many outstanding sprinters, they are still more than a step behind the atmosphere of the Jamaican people, and the birth and explosion of world-class superstars are even worse.

Watching the match between Jamaica and the United States, Ye Qin can feel from the bottom of his heart the gap between the current domestic sprinting level and these top Jamaica and the United States.

This gap is definitely not about the difference in race, but in terms of training methods, the pursuit of hot spots in domestic projects, and the degree of commercialization.

Although he is still young, after all, he has been a professional athlete for several years, and some things are actually quite thorough.

The support of the Athletics Association for track and field events in recent years, as well as various provincial and municipal teams, have increased the inclination of track and field events, but these are not overnight things.

First of all, it is still necessary to be able to have a relatively good atmosphere, this wave of track and field that started with Liu Yangyu and gradually expanded to him, I hope it will not be cold in the future.

Although the training of track and field requires a venue and other conditions, in fact, compared with ball sports such as football and basketball, the requirements for the field are not high.

At least in training, the rough and rough field can also be run.

Think about the small Jamaican village that Yechin heard about where Asafavir grew up, and the conditions in that place are not much better than the average village in the country.

However, because of the presence of professional track and field coaches and the guidance of the general direction, many people will be nurtured when they grow up.

In fact, this is also the case in the United States, as far as Ye Qin said, in American middle schools and universities, the most influential people are often those football teams, basketball teams and other competitive school sports stars.

Only in such a big atmosphere can more outstanding seedlings be born.

As for saying that a country only attaches importance to sports and ignores culture and education, there is no need to worry too much.

In 1917's "Study of Physical Education", Taizu once said, "Neighbors have a saying: civilization is its spirit, barbarism is its body." That's right. If you want to civilize its spirit, you must first barbarize its body; If Gou barbarizes his body, the spirit of civilization will follow. The husband knows the things of the world and judges the reason. There is a need for the body here. Intuitive depends on the ears and eyes, thinking depends on the brain, the ears and eyes and the brain are the body, the body is complete and the knowledge is complete. ”

To put it simply, in fact, the body is the capital of the revolution.

Sports and learning to do research are never contrary to traditional concepts, but complement each other.

……

August 18, morning.

The Olympic Stadium in Berlin ushered in the fourth day of the World Championships.

At 10 a.m., the weather was already quite hot, and more than 50,000 spectators were already waiting.

The first race that started this morning is the more interesting event of this World Championships, the men's 200m preliminaries. The men's 200m heats were followed by the men's 400m heats.

The preliminaries weren't really spectacular for many spectators, but just like the last World Championships, when these competitions featured world-class superstars, even the preliminaries were completely different.

Like the previous men's 100m event, the men's 200m event at this World Championships has a lot more competitors than the previous 05 and 07 World Championships.

A total of 67 athletes participated in the men's 200m heats, divided into nine heats.

Ye Qin was assigned to the third group of the preliminaries, with a time of 10.17 seconds, which was relatively good, at least to make room for rest in the men's 400m preliminaries, which he was going to participate in.

In addition to the men's 200m and 400m heats in the morning, Ye Qin also had a men's 200m rematch in the evening.

At 10:17 a.m., after two consecutive men's 200m heats, Ye Qin appeared in front of the men's 200m starting line at the Olympic Stadium.

As soon as Ye Qin appeared on the stage, many Chinese spectators who came to cheer for Ye Qin today erupted in enthusiastic cheers, and the German audience at the scene did not hesitate to applaud the top sprinter who set a new world record the day before.

In this group of preliminaries, Ye Qin is not familiar with many players, because the players in the preliminaries are basically qualified players from various countries, and in order to achieve balance, the top players will basically not be put together to compete.

In Yechin's group, the only players he had a slight impression of were Jamaica's Steve Mullins and Italy's Paul Hesse. The two are good, and Ye Qin has played with them in some Grand Prix and Golden League before.

A shot rang out, and soon the men's 200m heats began in the third group.

After the start, Yechin was not fast. Considering that there is still a men's 400-meter preliminaries, he is actually running as a warm-up in his group of men's 200-meter preliminaries.

However, with his current ability and level, even if he has reservations, he still surpasses most runners.

And the goal of the preliminaries is mainly to qualify for the semi-finals, as long as you do this, you don't have to be too nervous.

In the end, in this preliminaries, Ye Qin ranked second in the group with a time of 20.63 seconds.

First and third in the group were Steve Mullins and Paul Hesse, who finished 20.62 and 20.66 seconds respectively.

After finishing the 200-meter preliminaries, Ye Qin returned to the lounge, and after putting on his long coat, Ye Qin began to rest, quietly waiting for the men's 400-meter preliminaries to start next.
