The international flight first made a stopover in Abu Dhabi and took more than a dozen hours to arrive in Shenghai.

After more than a day of rest and adjustment, on September 20, Ye Qin met Yang Yao and others who had not seen each other for a while at the Xinzhuang training base.

Although Yang Yao did not go to Athens with him in the IAAF World Cup, September 23 was the time of the Golden Grand Prix at Shenghai Station, and Yang Yao, as the best runner in the men's sprint event second only to Ye Qin, naturally wanted to participate.

At this time, the domestic media has made a fuss about Ye Qin breaking the Asian 400-meter record that has been silent for 18 years after the World Cup, and he won the IAAF World Cup in the 200-meter event, running a time of 19.78 seconds, which has also become the focus of everyone's discussion.

19.78 seconds, this is a result that can be ranked in the top ten in the current international men's 200m history list, but it is a pity that the Shenghai Station Golden Grand Prix does not set up a men's 200m event, and Ye Qin can only participate in the men's 400m, which inevitably makes some track and field fans feel a little regretful.

Among them, there are many resentments about Ye Qin not participating in the 100m event after breaking the men's 100m national record.

Domestic media and track and field fans, at this time, their perception of Ye Qin really confirms the nickname given to him - the king of all-round speed, as long as it is a sprint race, they can't wait for Ye Qin to appear on the field.

……

September 23, Shenghai 80,000 Stadium.

Following the success of the first event, the second Shenghai Gold Grand Prix in 2006 was once again unveiled.

Unlike last year's first Grand Prix, this year, in addition to the official competition, this year's junior mat race was held for a period of time from 19:00 to 19:45 as a warm-up for the official competition.

After the mat game, there was an opening performance and opening speech, as well as a series of links such as raising the national flag and playing the national anthem.

The schedule is basically the same as last year, with the women's pole vault being the first event to start the competition, followed by the men's high jump.

At 20:15, the first climax of tonight's competition was ushered in in the 80,000-person stadium, and the men's 100-meter race began.

At the beginning of the men's 100-meter race, Ye Qin also slipped to the stands in the bottom row and watched the men's race.

The men's 400m event he participated in was held an hour later, and the warm-up before the race had already been done, and after watching the 100m race, he would return to the indoor check-in area to prepare in detail, and there was basically no problem.

Many of the players participating in this year's men's 100m race are familiar to Ye Qin, and the first one is Jason Gaby. In order to maintain the winning streak, Asafavir did not participate, and the opponent chose the Yokohama Grand Prix, which began on September 25.

Other athletes include Leonard Scott, the 60m champion at this year's World Indoor Championships, Sean Crowder, the '04 men's 200m Olympic champion, the American sprint veteran Marcus Brunson, France's Ronald Bonon, and the men's 110m hurdles of the United States, Terence Trammell. Terence-Trammell competed in the men's 100m and men's 110m hurdles events at this Grand Prix.

The last two are China's Yang Yao and Liu Yang.

Yang Yao refreshed his personal best in this year's men's 100m event, running a time of 10.21 seconds.

After the gun sounded in the men's 100-meter race, Ye Qin's eyes have been paying attention to the many athletes on the field.

Ye Qin thought that in the men's 100m race, Jason Gaby should easily win the championship, after all, with the opponent's form this year, there are not many athletes present who can pose a threat to him.

It's a pity that Jason Gaby was probably in poor form because he had just finished one lap in Europe, and he only finished third. The championship was won by American veteran Marcus Brunson with a time of 10.03 seconds, and Yang Yao ranked sixth.

On the other side, on the indoor warm-up track.

A slender and handsome white contestant was doing a simple pre-match warm-up, while behind him stood an equally slender middle-aged black man.

"Jimmy, I think your body is already a little tired, if possible, I suggest you wait for the game, and it's better to have some reservations."

The middle-aged black man looked at the handsome white contestant for a while to warm up, and then spoke slowly.

"Michael, you know, as soon as I get on the runway, I want to be the one who wins, and I'm sure you've thought the same thing when you raced before."

The handsome white contestant smiled and replied disappreciatively, "I don't think there's anything wrong with my body, and I'll be the one who wins the championship." ”

In 2006, he swept the top five in the men's 400m and was the first man in the 400m, and he was able to do so because he basically gave it his all in the races he was able to participate in.

What's more, although this Grand Prix is serious for athletes of his level, and the level is not too high, the strong players gathered are not lower than the World Championships and IAAF Finals.

In the face of so many top 400m athletes, it is none other than Jimmy Warner, the 2004 Olympic champion, the 2005 World Championships champion and the 2006 IAAF Finals champion, who is currently ranked No. 1 in the men's 400m.

And the same legendary figure in international athletics, the king of the 200m and 400m, has written his name in the history of international athletics, Michael Johnson.

Although Jimmy Warner and Michael Johnson both studied under Clyde Hart and are considered brothers, in another sense, Michael Johnson actually guided Jimmy Warner no less than their coach.

In addition, Michael Johnson is also Jimmy Warner's agent, Jimmy Warner is a somewhat introverted personality, and he doesn't really care too much about many things outside of the game, but Michael Johnson has been very business-minded since he retired, whether it is coaching or cooperating with the Chinese track and field team.

"Hey Michael, you're not afraid I'll break your world record in this race, are you?" Jimmy Warner looked at Michael Johnson's expression and said with a smile.

Although he has achieved very amazing results in the 400m event, in a sense, outsiders call him "White Forrest Gump", Michael Johnson second, as a top 400m athlete, even if he and Michael Johnson have a very good relationship, but to some extent still want to get rid of the influence of the other party.

"Coach Hart predicted that you could break my world record in four years, and I'm looking forward to you doing it."

Michael Johnson smiled on the side, he could see that his "junior brother" was a little inflated, the opponent's schedule this year is very intensive, and there are obvious signs of fatigue in the body after a round in Europe.

In the previous IAAF World Cup, Jimmy Warner was dissatisfied with the 400m event under his advice, but this time the Shenghai Grand Prix was really ambitious.

It's just that this men's 400m may not be as easy as Jimmy Warner thinks, not to mention his head-on challenger, the rising star of the United States, Sean Merritt, and the Congolese Gary Kikaya are also strong.

The most important thing is that Michael Johnson knows that there is also a home-grown athlete - Ye Chin, who he has been in contact with when Ye Qin first entered the international athletics world, and felt that Ye Chin's potential in the 200 meters and 400 meters is limitless, and Ye Qin won the 200 meters World Championships that year. Although Yechin's performance in the 400m is not as outstanding as his 200m, Michael Johnson feels that it has something to do with the age of the runners, and at Yechin's age, the 200m is actually better than the 400m.

As athletes grow older, they will actually become stronger in terms of muscle strength and endurance, and Michael Johnson feels in his heart that in the next few years, Yechin's performance in the 400m may enter a new stage, of course, provided that Yechin does not switch to the event.

Coupled with the fact that this is Shenghai after all, Ye Qin has the advantage of playing at home, and Jimmy Warner may not be too easy to win the championship.

At least, in Michael Johnson's eyes, with Jimmy Warner's state at this time, it is not so easy.
