Athens, inside the Olympic Stadium.

The men's 200m rematch is entering its most intense moment.

Even though the spectators in the stands were semi-resistant and silent protesting against the men's 200m race at this Athens Olympics, many people were still attracted by the passing figures.

This is the case in sprint races, from the sound of the race gun, the athletes burst out to run the fastest and highest speed, the impact force, the strong stimulation of adrenaline, can arouse people's emotions the most.

And other competitions seem to have thresholds, and track and field competitions are the easiest, just to see who runs the fastest, jumps the highest, and throws the farthest, which is the rule of the whole competition.

It's simple and straightforward, but the simpler the rules, the more enthusiastic people are.

A shout burst out from the stands unconsciously. Some of them were international spectators who had gone to Athens to watch the game, but many more were still spectators from Athens, Greece.

The blood is gushing, and the wind is galloping.

As soon as the gun goes off, the sprint is 100 meters, 200 meters or 400 meters, which is a very passionate event.

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

The eight runners soon reached the final stage of the corner, and Ye Qin was so engrossed in his running that he didn't pay attention to the position of the other runners, but he still felt that Antigua and Barbuda's Brandon in lane 1 were closing in on him, and he and Bahamian Dominique de Merritt in lane 3 were gradually moving closer to a horizontal line. To be able to enter the second round of the semi-finals, the level of both of them is not low, at least in the first 100 meters, they will only be faster than Ye Chin.

Corners into straights!

At this time, the form on the field was instantly clear, and the gap between the front and back caused by the number of forward stretches has now completely passed.

The first to run from the corner into the straight were Asa Favir and Jax Thering, more than 100 meters in front of the two, Asa Favir had a slight advantage in the first half, but in the back 90 meters to 100 meters, he was gradually caught up by Jax Thering, and the gap between the two rushing into the corner was not large, and they both burst out with amazing speed.

The two were followed by Germany's Sebastian in lane 5 and Slovenia's Madik Osovnikar in lane seven, both of whom had a very good pace and didn't fall too far behind at this distance.

He was followed by Britain's Christian Malcolm in lane 6 and Dominique Demeritt in lane 2 from the Bahamas.

Yechin was slightly behind Dominic Demeritt of the Bahamas and slightly ahead of Bu** Christine in the first lane, in seventh place.

This is the semi-final of the men's 200m, a competition between outstanding sprinters from all over the world, and no matter which one is placed in their respective countries, they can be regarded as the top sprinters.

Although there was a slight difference in the front and back positions on the field, except for Jax Thelin, who took the first position with a big stride, and Asa Favier in second place, although there was a difference between the other players, the difference between the other players was only a few positions, and it was not a big one.

And as soon as Ye Qin entered the straight, his spirit was mentioned to the highest in an instant.

Now the men's 200m race is in the final half of the race.

In the 400-meter event, many competitors are able to control their speed and rhythm in order to make a small sprint in the last few meters and tens of meters, while in the 200-meter event, this phenomenon does not exist, and the speed of all competitors shows a slight decline after eighty or ninety meters.

And Ye Chin's ability to maintain speed was also fully reflected at this time.

Like a red lightning, it gradually caught up from among the many scorching players, and slowly overtook it.

One hundred and fifty meters...... Yechin catches up with Dominique DeMerritt in the second Bahamas!

One hundred and sixty meters...... Yechin and Great Britain's Christian Malcolm in lane 6 are neck and neck!

One hundred and seventy meters...... Yechin is already in fifth place, just half a distance away from Slovenia's Madik Osovnikar in lane seven.

The red lightning on the field rushed quickly, almost touching the hearts of the members of the Chinese delegation and the Chinese audience who came to watch the game in the stands at this moment.

Yang Yao has been out, and Ye Qin has become the only lone seedling, whether he can advance in this round of the competition, which means that the Chinese sprinters can hear the third gunshot in the Olympic Games.

One hundred and eighty meters...... At this time, there are three players in front of Yechin, Jax Thelin, Asa Favir, and Sebastian.

Yechin and Madik Osovnikar tied for fourth.

The Slovenian Madik Osovnikar tied for fifth in the heats with a time of 20.57 seconds, but was even better in the semi-finals, where Yechin had already overtaken his opponent but in the rematch the pair almost locked in the final tens of meters.

190 meters, 195 meters......

Punch the line!!

After Ye Qin lowered his head and pressed across the finish line, he subconsciously looked at the timing board in front of him.

In 20.03 seconds, Jax Thelin, who was the first to cross the finish line, was presented to everyone.

Slowly slowing down and stopping at the finish line, Ye Qin heard the sound of his own rapid breathing like a bellows, he raised his head and looked at the other runners in several passes, his face was indescribably tired.

But compared to exhaustion, at this moment, Ye Qin felt more difficult that even if he went all out and ran desperately, it seemed that he was still a little short.

He didn't know how far apart he was from Slovenia's Madik Osovnikar when he crossed the finish line, but he could feel several people running ahead of him.

About a minute or so later, on the big screen, the results of the men's 200-meter semi-final were presented one by one:

1. Fourth lane, Jax Thelin, USA, reaction 0.220, time 20.03;

2. 8th lane, Asa Favir, Jamaica, reaction 0.206, time 20.23;

3. Fifth lane, Sebastian, Germany, reaction 0.244, time 20.36;

4. 7th lane, Madik Osovnikar, Slovenia, reaction 0.235, time 20.47;

5. The second lane, Ye Qin, China, reaction 0.198, score 20.48 seconds;

6. Sixth lane, Christian Malcolm, GBR, reaction 0.162, 20.56 seconds;

7. Lane 3, Dominique Demerit, Bahamas, reaction 0.141, time 20.61;

8. First lane, Bu**-Christine, Antigua and Barbuda, reaction 0.182, time 20.63;

"Failed?"

Ye Qin's expression was a little depressed, panting, he felt that the speed of this group of outbreaks was better than the preliminaries, but the final results came out, and compared to the preliminaries, his group of rematches was a little slower.

That's the case in sprint competition, this group feels very hard and ruthless, but it may not end up being up to expectations.

And after seeing this group of results, Ye Qin felt that his body seemed to suddenly lose strength.

The semi-finals are played in four groups, and the rules for advancing to the semi-finals are that the top three players in the group advance directly, and then the four best athletes from the remaining players will enter the semi-finals.

He finished fifth in the group, with four semi-finals and only four places to fill the list, so he almost completely lost his qualification for the semi-finals.

At this moment, Ye Qin only felt that his body was sore and tired, and he had no energy at all, so many ideas that came out before the game, after this result appeared, after his own efforts, he actually got such a result, which really made him a little unacceptable.

Yechin didn't go to see the scene of Justin Gatlin, who won the group stage, holding his hands up and shouting loudly, but just left the field a little dejected.

Returning to the locker room through the corridor, Ye Qin didn't dare to look up at Yu Weili and the others who were paying attention to him on the stage along the way, but after entering the mixed passage area, he sat directly on the ground.

This seems to be the end of his Olympic journey.

didn't make it to the finals, or even the semifinals, at this moment he suddenly understood how He Jun felt when he participated in the World Junior Championships for the first time.

As the national junior men's 100m champion, he did not even enter the final at the World Junior Championships, and as the holder of the Chinese men's 200m record, he also did not even enter the semifinals of the Olympic Games.

It was the second time he had lost so much, the first time in the men's 400m, and it seemed that he was still able to hold his emotions at that time, and he still wanted to compete against the best players in four years.

But when the men's 200-meter semi-race was finished, the feeling of emptiness in his heart suddenly made him unbearable.

"Ye Qin, you ran very well just now!"

Just as Ye Qin was sitting in the mixed channel area, his head was about to be buried in his knees, he suddenly heard a voice in his ear.

Yu Weili squatted down, patted Ye Qin gently, with a warm smile on his face, smiled and comforted: "Don't be discouraged, you are still young, and you will definitely be able to run better in the future." ”

"Coach, I ......"

Ye Qin glanced up at Yu Weili, then lowered his head again, his voice was slightly hoarse, and he seemed to be choked up for a while, not knowing what to say.

"That's how competitive sports are, you won two silver medals at the World Junior Championships, you qualified for the Olympics, and you ran into the men's 200m semi-finals, at your age, there are not many people in the world left, what do you have to be frustrated, be happy, the Olympics will be on our doorstep in four years, and then we will beat them all......"

Yu Weili smiled and said slowly, 20.48 seconds, Ye Qin's result was 0.02 seconds slower than him in the preliminaries, such a stable performance has greatly exceeded his expectations, and he remembers that this is also the second best personal result created by Ye Qin.

Listening to Yu Weili's comfort, Ye Qin took a breath softly, and wanted to be relieved, but it seemed that there was still a knot in his heart, which could not be untied in a few words.

He wanted to win, he wanted to make it to the next round, he wanted to run better, but the result of this rematch made him even more disappointed.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps.

"Ye Qin, Coach Yu?!"

Rushing in from the mixed aisle area were Yang Yao and Yuan Mingfu, and their faces were indescribably surprised.

"What's wrong?!"

Yu Weili looked at the expressions of the two, and almost instantly thought of something, and stood up all of a sudden.

"Advanced, Ye Qin, advanced to the semifinals!"

Yang Yao almost screamed, as if he was even more excited than he had been promoted.

"Advanced?!"

When Ye Qin heard this, he was stunned, suddenly jumped up from the ground, and grabbed Yuan Mingfu's shoulder, which was closest to him, "Director Yuan, I've been promoted?!" ”

"Oh, you kid lightly." Yuan Mingfu felt the strength on his shoulders, first exclaimed in pain, and then said with a smile, "The four groups of semi-finals are finished, your group's average score is the best, and your group accounts for three of the four supplementary places, not only you have advanced, but the British player Christian Malcolm behind you, he has also advanced to the semifinals." ”

"I'm in the cut!"

Almost instantly, Ye Qin was so excited that he was about to jump, and the moment he saw the results come out, his body was almost completely out of strength, and endless power came out of nowhere.

"Good boy, really...... It's really ......."

Yu Weili stood aside, smiling like a flower on his face, looked at Ye Qin's excited appearance, shook his head again, reached out and gently patted Yang Yao, who was also happy for Ye Qin.

Chinese male sprinters, in the Olympic Games, can hear the third gunshot!
