Chapter 102: 200m Preliminaries (Part II)

After starting, Ye Qin began to lower his head and speed up.

His starting reflexes and acceleration weren't fast enough, and while there has been a lot of improvement, it's still noticeable compared to his ability to maintain pace in the second half of the game.

10 meters, 20 meters, 30 meters, 40 meters......

The upper body slightly went forward to lower the head to accelerate, and gradually with the rapid increase in speed, the body gradually straightened up, and entered the link of running on the way.

He was in the first row, and from the moment he looked up, he could see the positions of the other players at a glance.

The advantage of starting on the inner course is that you can judge the position of the other runners at a glance at this stage, but due to the influence of the curve, the curvature of the inner course is greater than that of the outer course.

And because of the number of stretches, before entering the straight, he kept a catch-up attitude in the face of other runners for the distance of this section of the curve from the start.

For professional athletes, this is not a problem, but for young athletes, the mentality has not experienced the baptism of many major competitions, and any slight adjustment and change will have an impact.

At this time, it is easy for players who suddenly feel that the distance between other runners and themselves is too long, and they feel that they may not be able to catch up, and their mentality is unbalanced. Caring too much about the opponent will affect the performance of his own level.

The speed of the sprint race is very fast, and the slightest change in the psychology of the runners will be directly reflected in the field. Even experienced and experienced professional players, in important tournaments, there are many examples of looking around after taking the lead, or suddenly being chased by other players and their mentality explodes, so that they miss the championship medal.

After the 40-meter acceleration stage, Ye Qin looked up at the positions of the other competitors, he already felt that he was slightly behind in the starting acceleration stage, but not too much, he was very clear about his strengths and weaknesses.

At this time, in the stands on the sidelines, the black teenager who had just finished the first group of preliminaries and easily won the first place in the group in 21.12 seconds did not leave the field and was watching the game.

He didn't know most of the contestants in the third group of preliminaries, and he focused on only one thing, the Chinese teenager in the red sprint suit.

After he retired from the 400m semi-finals yesterday, the first place in the group was won by the teenager who had a few contacts with him, and he wanted to see how the opponent performed in the 200m and whether he could really meet in the final final.

"Slower than I am!"

After the gunshots rang out, the black boy watched Ye Qin's start accelerate, pursed his lips slightly, and then became happy again.

He reached 6 feet 5 inches tall, and at his height, he suffered a lot from starting and accelerating in the sprint event, but now seeing Ye Chin's performance, he couldn't help but laugh.

That feeling is very chicken, that is, I started slowly, and I ended up seeing someone slower than me.

However, this feeling only lasted for a few seconds, and soon his expression became solemn.

On the field, after fifty meters, Ye Qin's speed increased, and from the corner, he looked at the first lane that fell at the end, and quickly increased his speed.

In the 200-meter race, he didn't think about how to master the stride length and control the speed, and there was only one thing in his mind, rushing with all his might.

60 meters, 70 meters, 80 meters......

The cheers on the sidelines suddenly became louder, especially in the area where more than a dozen or twenty Chinese teams gathered on the side of the stands, whether it was male or female athletes, and whether Ye Qin could hear it or not, they all shouted loudly.

Nigeria's Oluwa Ogunde, who was in the second lane, suddenly felt a red figure around him quickly approaching from the left, overtook him, and in the blink of an eye, he was neck and neck with him, and quickly ran in front of him.

90 meters, 100 meters......

Corners into straights!

The positions of the eight players in the first group of the preliminary round are clear at this time.

In first place was Lionel Larry of the United States in lane six, a black runner who was at the front with his explosive power in the first half, followed by Namibian Frank Prissa in lane 7 and Yechin in lane 1.

Namibia's Frank Pressa was so good at maintaining his speed that he used the 400m as a 200m run in the last men's 400m semi-final, which disrupted the rhythm of the group.

In this 200m preliminaries, although he played at full strength, in terms of personal absolute speed, he was much weaker than the American Lionel Larry.

Yechin was in the first lane, and in the corner, he could observe the position of the other players, but going into the straight, after passing Nigeria's Oluwa Ogender in the second lane, he could not notice the position of the other competitors due to the distance of the lanes.

Moreover, he didn't want to care about the location of other people at this time, and in his eyes, there was only the final finish line.

As long as he stands on the runway, whether it is the preliminaries, semi-finals or the final final, he wants to win!

Only when he stood on the runway, with the wind and footsteps whistling in his ears, and the harsh noise in the distance, running with all his strength, rushing with all his strength, it seemed that at this moment he could feel the value of his existence!

Accelerate, accelerate, rush!

Ye Chin had only this thought in his mind.

After entering the curve running more than 100 meters ahead, at this time, all the players' speed showed different degrees of slippage, in addition to the absolute speed ability of the players, the other is the speed maintenance ability!

There are still 80 meters, 70 meters, 60 meters from the finish line......

Ye Qin swooped in to the back, and Namibia's Frank Preissa maintained his speed and was able to hold up even as the pace of the other competitors began to decline.

But Ye Qin's absolute speed is faster than him, his legs are swinging rapidly, and it seems that his speed has not decreased since the beginning of 50 meters, and it seems that he has accelerated again.

In the eyes of the spectators in the stands on the sidelines, Ye Qin went from a position alongside Namibia's Frank Prissa in lane 6 to suddenly overtake the opponent and constantly close the gap with American Lionel Larry in lane 5.

Fifty meters, forty meters......

American Lionel Larry has been unable to maintain his speed at all from the start to the present, and there has been a considerable decline. Running at the highest speed of a person, even for the top sprinters, this distance is only a few tens of meters, and then there will be different degrees of reduction, just the size of this magnitude.

Lionel Larry, on the other hand, maintained the advantage of the first 150 meters from the start, and by the last 50 meters, he could no longer hold on.

In other words, it may be due to the preliminaries, I stood out with my strength, and at this stage, I have a bit of a sense of release.

Ye Qin didn't know what the other party thought, he couldn't see Lionel Larry's position, he just stared at the finish line in front of him, ran hard, and ran directly to the first position.

At this time on the sidelines, Yu Lianglong, a player from China's Hong Kong Island Special Economic Zone, had fallen last at the corner, and the straight-line distance between him and Ye Qin on the track had exceeded ten meters.

Thirty meters, twenty meters, ten meters......

Although Ye Qin's starting reaction and acceleration were not ideal, he distanced himself from the other competitors with his good absolute speed and good speed endurance in the second half.

Rush the line!

On the timing board at the scene, the results of this group of men's 200m preliminaries jumped out.

21.56 seconds!

The men's 200m third preliminaries were first in the group and successfully advanced to the semifinals.

Lionel Larry of the United States, who crossed the finish line after Yechin, finished in 21.73 seconds, while the runner from Hong Kong Island, China, ran last in this group with a time of 23.93 seconds!

PS: I saw the news in the morning, Su Bingtian ran 9.91 seconds in Madrid, I was really excited! When he set a new record in the 60-meter indoor race this year, I felt that Su Bingtian could run a time of 9.90-9.91 seconds this year, and the wind speed in Eugene was super fast, and I thought it would be at a stop in the next IAAF Diamond League or Grand Prix, especially Lausanne, but I really didn't expect this Madrid Challenge to come out!

Seven years ago, the national record was 10.16 seconds broken by Su Bingtian, and now this record has improved by 0.25 seconds! I believe that in the near future, domestic athletes will get better and better in the field of sprinting competition, from 100 meters to 400 meters! There's nothing that can't be done!

With such achievements to prove it, writing about track and field and sprinting is not a pipe dream! Congratulations to Su Bingtian!
