Chapter 547: The Old Man Visits
"19.59 seconds! Unbelievable results, the incredible Yusse Bot surpassed his opponent by twenty or thirty meters in just 200 meters, what an amazing form!
It's the second best result in the men's 200m of the year, and Usse Bot has proven his quality in this event with his sheer quality, and I think if any of them are watching this race, then you need to be wary......"
July 7, Rome, Italy, inside an upscale hotel suite.
Ye Qin and Chen Zhongzhou were sitting in front of the television watching the 2009 Lausanne Super Grand Prix broadcast on the television station.
The TV screen is showing the end of the men's 200m race, and the camera shows a tall young black man in a white sprint suit, standing in front of the results of the live time card, making his trademark gesture of drawing his bow and arrow and pointing at the sky.
Even though you are sitting in front of the TV, you can still feel the frenetic atmosphere of the Lausanne Super Grand Prix.
On the IAAF World Tour, the Lausanne Super Grand Prix has always been extremely popular with athletes, and there are many viewers in Europe who watch local TV channels, far more than a small Switzerland.
Looking at Yusse Bot in the TV screen, Chen Zhongzhou's brows frowned slightly, and he turned sideways to look at Ye Qin, who was speechless, and said lightly: "Yusai Bote's state is indeed very good, this result is completely different from his previous results in the Jamaica National Championships." ”
Ye Qin casually picked up the remote control and turned down the volume on the TV, and after a while, there was still the Lausanne Super Grand Prix men's 100m race, and he was ready to continue to watch it again.
Hearing Chen Zhongzhou talk about Yusse Bote's state, Ye Qin couldn't help but show a faint smile and replied: "He shouldn't have encountered any opponents in this year's Jamaica National Championships, so he was lazy." ”
The results of the previous Jamaican National Championships came to Yusse Bot in the men's 100m in 9.86 seconds and 20.25 seconds in the 200m.
After all, although Jamaica has made rapid progress in athletics in the past two years, except for Asafavir, who can barely challenge the current Yusse Bote, the others are still completely unqualified.
When the athletes reach the level of Yechin and Yusse Both, they can basically win the first place in any domestic competition, and then they will cross the finish line with water.
And in this year's Lausanne Super Grand Prix, in this men's 200-meter race, Ye Qin can see that Yousse Bot still has a serious run. It's hard to say whether or not you gave it your all, but in terms of results and performance, at least not too lax.
One of the biggest reasons......
Ye Qin saw the camera sweep over a black athlete who won the second place in the competition, and the other person seemed to be a little depressed and incredulous, and occasionally speculated from the perspective of the TV camera that the black athlete was looking at Yusse Bot in front of the timing card from time to time.
The athlete is none other than Yechin's old acquaintance, Sean Merritt, who has an amazing performance in the men's 400m event.
This year's Lausanne Super Grand Prix Sean Merritt did not compete in the men's 400m, but in the men's 200m.
It's no secret that Sean Merritt once set foot on track and field to continue his brother's dream. In fact, everyone still respects this point.
It's just that Sean Merritt's personality is really not very likable, he is a typical big mouth, and he often provokes other players. Before the Lausanne Super Grand Prix, Sean Merritt said he could beat Euse Both.
Eventually, Euse-Bot seemed to be enraged and uncharacteristically serious in this Lausanne Grand Prix.
The result of the race was also evident, with Eusse Bott winning in 19.59 seconds, while Sean Merritt, who was in second place, finished in 20.41 seconds.
When the two finally crossed the finish line, they were almost a few dozen meters apart.
Watching Euse Bott slap his chest and open his hands to meet the cheers of the audience after crossing the finish line, it is conceivable that Sean Merritt was definitely in a bad mood at this time.
"If Yousse-Bot really tries the 400m next year, maybe he can really make a breakthrough!"
Seeing that the TV screen switched to the next game, Ye Qin turned to Chen Zhongzhou and said with a smile.
"He's tall, he's fast, he's really good, and it's okay to run 45 seconds." Chen Zhongzhou nodded, "But according to his character, if he really wants to try 400 meters, I'm afraid it will be difficult." Of course, it's hard to say, because if you beat him in the men's 100m and 200m at this year's World Championships in Berlin, he'll still want to beat you in other events. ”
In 2009, the challenge of Ye Qin by various athletes can be described as an encirclement, from 100 meters to 200 meters to 400 meters, almost many athletes are trying and launching challenges.
Ye Qin knew that Yusse Bot was resistant to the hard work of 400m training, but if he really lost to himself in the 100m and 200m at the World Championships in Berlin, it was really hard to guarantee that Yusse Bot would want to try to challenge him in the 400m.
After all, this year Usse Bot and Jason Gaby, and even Aszafaville have tried to run a few 400 meters.
Based on Ye Chin's understanding of Euse-Bote, the other party's seemingly grinning appearance actually has an almost crazy pursuit of the championship. With this strong spirit, if some projects fail, it's hard to say whether they will be transformed into other projects.
For athletes of their level, there is a limit to what Ye Qin can do, and it is difficult to say that others can't.
In the hotel room, Ye Qin and Chen Zhongzhou whispered a discussion about the men's 200-meter race just now, followed by the men's 110-meter hurdles.
There was no Liu Yangyu to participate in this game, and after the Yanjing Olympics, Liu Yangyu's injuries were still a little recurrent, and he was basically in the stage of treatment this year.
The race revolved around Dai Long Robles and American Dexter Falk, with Robles winning the Super Grand Prix in 13.18 seconds, with Dexter Falk second in 13.21 seconds.
This was followed by a few more women's races, culminating in the men's 100m.
In the same two AB groups, there are more athletes in the men's 100m event this year than in previous years, and the organizers have to arrange it this way.
Although Yechin did not travel to Lausanne and Just-Bot only competed in the men's 200m, the 100m attracted the attention of many spectators as the most popular event.
However, the overall level of the men's 100m race at this year's Lausanne Super Grand Prix was not high, although Asafavier participated in the men's 100m, but I don't know if it was due to injury or the overall low level of other athletes, Asafavier finally won the A group with a time of 10.07 seconds. The B category was won by Kurandi Martina of the Netherlands Antilles in 10.16 seconds.
Just as Ye Qin and Chen Zhongzhou had almost finished watching the entire Lausanne Super Prix in their hotel room, there was a knock on the door of the hotel.
After Chen Zhongzhou got up and opened the door, two middle-aged men wearing shirts and trousers walked in outside the door, and as soon as they saw Ye Qin, one of the leaders walked up to Ye Qin with great enthusiasm and stretched out his right hand to him.
"I want to see you kid now, but it's really not easy!"
"Instruction Ye, Instruction Zhou!"
Seeing the two people walking in outside the door, Ye Qin warmed up and shook hands with the two, got out of the way, and let the two sit down on the sofa in the room.
"Time really flies, in a blink of an eye, Ye Qin, you have come to this point."
As soon as he sat down, one of the middle-aged men said with some emotion on his face.
"Yes, the hairy boy at that time is now an international star." Another middle-aged man who looked slightly obese echoed in, and there was a lot of embarrassment between his words.
"Director Ye, Director Zhou, if it weren't for your care for me, I wouldn't be able to get to where I am today."
Listening to the sighs of the two, Ye Qin smiled, he didn't feel that the other party was setting up a relationship, but said to the two very sincerely.
The two middle-aged people in front of him were none other than Ye Lidong and Zhou Bin, who had played an important role in Ye Qin's entire growth career.
In 2003, in order to give Ye Qin the opportunity to participate in the World Junior Championships, Nie Fangping took Ye Qin to Yanjing together.
It was the first time Ye Qin participated in a world-class competition, from a rural teenager, to Yenching, and then to Sherbrooke, Canada, and it can be said that it was the most important step that changed the trajectory of his life.
In that World Junior Championships, Ye Qin saw the best group of his neighbors in the world, and they galloped on the field, which completely opened Ye Qin's eyes.
It was also in that World Junior Championships that Ye Qin met Yusse Both, who was still a little immature at the time, at that time, Ye Qin was still penniless, and no one had heard of it at all. And Yusse Bot is already a rising star in Jamaican athletics, hailed as the "Mike and Johnson successor".
In fact, everyone is not optimistic, Ye Qin, who is on the international competition for the first time, won two bronze medals in the men's 200m and men's 400m, becoming the first Chinese athlete to win a medal in a world-class sprint competition.
It can be said that that year's World Junior Championships changed Ye Qin very dramatically. If it weren't for that chance, Ye Qin would have been able to make it out of the domestic arena in the end, but there is no doubt that the pace would have been much slower.
Many media outlets are reporting that Ye Qin was able to succeed and reach this height. In addition to his personal talent and hard work, a large part of it had to do with the fact that he was able to participate in the competition at that time, starting directly from the world-class competition, avoiding some stumbling blocks in the domestic system, broadening his horizons and setting goals.
And in this, whether it is Ye Lidong or Zhou Bin, both of them have been very helpful to Ye Qin.
"Leaf guidance, Zhou guidance, drink water!"
While Ye Qin was talking to the two guides, Chen Zhongzhou had already gotten up and poured two cups of tea for the two, "There is no good tea in Italy, so it can only be entertained with white water." ”
"Xiao Chen, we are not outsiders, so you are welcome."
Ye Lidong got up and took the boiling water from Chen Zhongzhou's ground, took a sip, and continued with a smile, "When you go out, you want to drink tea, and you will come to my office when Yanjing comes." ”
"That's right, Director Ye has a lot of good tea." Zhou Bin next to him laughed.
"That's a good feeling!" After Chen Zhongzhou sat down with a smile, he spoke again, "Director Ye, Director Zhou, we should have come to see you, but we couldn't get away from the pre-game preparations, but I didn't expect you to come over." ”
"Again, we know your schedule, but it's never too late to cheer up our young athletes when you're done with the 10th." Ye Lidong waved his hand and replied with a smile.
This year's sixth edition of the World Junior Championships will be held in Brissenon, Italy, from July 8 to July 12. Bressenon is not far from Rome, and the two learned that Yechin had arrived in Rome and was ready to participate in the Rome Golden League on July 10, so they made a special trip to see Yechin.
"That's definitely it, how come I also came out of the World Junior Championships." Ye Qin smiled and nodded, his schedule after that was still relatively clear, after the Golden League in Rome on July 10, there was another Grand Prix in Athens on July 13, but Ye Qin was not ready to participate. He will then head straight to Paris for the Paris Golden League on 17 July, with a few days in between, enough time for him to catch up with the next two days of the World Junior Championships.
"What are the prospects for this competition in Italy? I heard that the track and field team has selected a lot of outstanding athletes to participate in the competition. When Ye Qin was in China, he had heard that the World Junior Championships competitors were selected from the National Junior Athletics Championships, but he had not paid specific attention to the results.
"I don't dare to say what I want to say about the World Junior Championships this time." Ye Lidong took a sip of boiling water, and then continued, "But in recent years, domestic track and field, especially sprint events, have been very popular, but there are really some good seedlings. ”
This is the real situation in China at present, since Liu Yangyu won the men's 110-meter hurdles Olympic championship in 04, track and field has become popular in China, and then Ye Qin's sudden rise has exacerbated the situation. After the Yenching Olympics, sprinting has become the focus of many local teams.
Last year, Su Bingtian won the men's 100m championship again at the World Youth Championships in Bydgoszczcz, which made many people feel that there are many newcomers to China's men's sprinting spots.
"The two of us don't think it's easy to talk about other events, but in the men's 200m event, we should have a chance to win a medal." Next to him, Zhou Bin added.
"Can there be a medalist?"
Ye Qin's eyes lit up slightly, although the World Junior Championships are already a relatively low-level competition in his opinion, but if the World Junior Championships can win medals, it is enough to prove the potential and talent of athletes, which is worth cultivating.
"Well, the talent is good." Zhou Bin nodded seriously, "Of course, it's still worse than your 200-meter performance back then." ”
"This is a demon, what are you better than." Ye Lidong interjected with a smile next to him, and looked at Ye Qin again, "Although your results were good at the beginning, they were not necessarily too outstanding compared to other athletes, the key is the speed of your growth later, which is the most amazing." You have strong enough talent, but also enough self-discipline and hard work, and everything today is what you deserve. ”
Ye Qin's time in the men's 200m final at the World Junior Championships that year was 21.12 seconds, ranking third. A year later, at the World Youth Championships, Ye Qin was able to run the Olympic men's 200m A standard, and finished sixth in the final with a time of 20.39 seconds.
It can be said that 03 to 04 years is Ye Qin's real explosive year, in this year's time, on the one hand, the specialization of training, the increase in competition, and the stimulation of many conditions such as physical development, his performance has grown by leaps and bounds, and he has crossed the threshold that many athletes have not been able to cross in their lifetime.
"Director Ye, you have an overreputation." Being praised by acquaintances in person, Ye Qin was a little embarrassed, and changed the topic, "If I have time to come, I will definitely go over and have a look." ”
According to Zhou Bin, in the 200 meters is a little worse than he was back then, that is almost able to run around 21.30 seconds, if this World Junior Championships, there are no demon-level players, it is really possible to get the ranking.
In that year's World Junior Championships, Ye Qin's third place was 21.12 seconds, and the second place was 21.04 seconds, and he still remembers the results clearly. And the champion is Yusse Both, who is now entangled with him, with a perverted time of 20.40 seconds.
At that time, Yusai Bot was really alone in the junior event, and his super excellent physical condition was incomparable to almost his peers, even athletes a few years older.
"Then you must have it, the time for the men's 200m final is the afternoon of the 12th." Ye Lidong said with a smile.
This is also the purpose of the two of them to visit this year, Ye Qin Rome Station Golden League game time is only July 10 day, Ye Qin as the idol of the young generation of Chinese athletes, if Ye Qin can come to the World Junior Championships in the next two days, it is undoubtedly a huge incentive for the young players to participate in the World Junior Championships.
