Chapter 364: The First 100-Meter Champion
19:35 p.m.
The cheers and noises in the Chaoyang Central Stadium have reached the most important since the start of the competition, and it is about to usher in one of the most important track and field events in track and field.
Men's 100m final.
When Ye Qin stood on the runway, voices from all directions of the audience surged, almost forming a huge wave like thunder.
Although the competition level of the World Junior Championships is not particularly high in the IAAF, Ye Qin can still feel the welcome and encouragement of the audience.
After so many competitions, although Ye Qin is not very old, his mentality has been completely trained. I will be excited by the cheers and applause of the audience, but there will be no nervousness.
This is a manifestation of the good psychological quality of a top athlete in the face of the competition, and it is also an absolute confidence in his own strength.
In the men's 100m event, Ye Qin didn't know what kind of results he could run because he tried less, but when he arrived at this field, after running the first preliminaries, he was already able to roughly reach his own level.
Maybe it could have been better, but it would have taken a longer time to prepare, and it would have been exciting and competitive against top opponents in major tournaments.
On the on-site timing board, this group of men's 100m finalists were also displayed in front of the audience at this time.
First Way, Wade Bennett-Jackson, UK;
second, Reynold-Rose, Jamaica;
Third Way, Harry Akins-Ayette, UK;
Fourth, Yechin, China;
Fifth Lane, Yohan Blake, Jamaica;
Sixth Lane, Justin Warner, Canada;
Seventh Road, Liang Hongjia, China;
Eighth Lane, Keston Bradman, Trinidad and Tobago;
In addition to Ye Qin, in the men's 100m final of this World Youth Championships, there is also a player Liang Hongjia who has entered the final. Liang Hongjia set a personal best of 10.32 seconds in a track and field event in Macau on July 17, and is also considered by the track and field team to have the best chance of winning a medal at the World Junior Championships other than Ye Qin.
Before the starting line, Ye Qin's eyes swept over the other seven competitors who were about to compete with him in the men's 100m final, although everyone was not much different in age, Ye Qin did not regard everyone present as opponents.
He is already a top sprinter who has fully grown up, and on the stage of the World Junior Championships, he really means to bully other athletes, but because of his age, there is nothing unfair about his appearance on the field.
Although Ye Qin did not regard the people in the field as his competitors, he did not relax in his heart.
In the eyes of thousands of spectators, in front of his home stadium and his fellow villagers, he didn't want to lose.
As long as you are on the field, there is only one goal in the end, and that is to win the championship.
The lion fights the rabbit and does his best. Although Ye Qin was proud in his heart, his eyes were on the athletes of the level of Asafavil, but he was still very cautious.
Sprint races, especially the men's 100m race, are too variable.
He is now better than the other athletes in the men's 100m, but not so strong that he can ignore the others, and in the 200m and 400m, he can be more relaxed.
In the 100 meters, as long as he didn't pay attention to the start, or the acceleration was too slow and not enough, the final result may be unacceptable to him.
What he didn't notice by Yechin's side was that the fifth young black Jamaican athlete's gaze was also not sweeping over him, his eyes were full of curiosity.
Before coming to the World Junior Championships, Yuhamblake had already learned from Glenn Mills and Usse Bott that the host country of the World Junior Championships was a very good sprinter.
He won the men's 200m at the 2005 World Championships in Helsinki, beating his brother Yusse Both, and he was interested in the Chinese at the time, and he knew that there were few outstanding sprinters in Asia.
But it's amazing that an Asian athlete who is a little younger than Yusebot can beat Yuse-Bote.
Only in Jamaica will you know how influential Yusse Bot is, especially before the 2004 Olympics, when he was still in elementary school, he almost saw Jamaica all about the talented athlete Yusse Bote.
And in the 2004 Athens Olympics, Yusse Bot did not perform well, and there was a lot of criticism, and he once had a lot of dissatisfaction.
It wasn't until he, like Eusse Both, became a disciple of Glenn Mills, and the two started training together, that he really knew how strong Yusse Bot was.
As for the Asian Chinese athlete who can be admired by Yusse Both, where is his excellence?
When he came to China to compete, Yuhamblake never thought that he would have the opportunity to compete with Ye Qin, firstly, because Ye Chin's level was there, and the top athletes were too far away from these young athletes who had not yet grown up, and secondly, he was participating in the men's 100m event, while Ye Chin was in the men's 200m and 400m events.
It's just that I didn't expect that Ye Qin actually participated in the men's 100m event this time.
Moreover, from the moment he came up, he showed the level of top athletes.
Juhamblake has been practicing athletics for a short time, strictly speaking only last year, and his favorite thing to do is the cricketer, he is a fast bowler, and once again the principal began to practice athletics after the school saw the speed he showed on the field.
But after actually getting on the track and meeting Yousse Both, Asafarville, Nesta Carter, and more and more sprinters, the hidden competitive spirit gradually ignited.
Especially when he saw Ye Qin, who was only two years older than him, surrounded by the cheers of the audience almost every minute and every second on the field, a wave of his hand caused an overwhelming wave, and the strong sense of envy of "I should be like this, I can do it too" came to my heart again and again.
I will become such an athlete too!
Like in 2002, when he stood at Kingston National Stadium and was cheered by the audience!
Like now, a wave of his hand can cause Ye Qin in the stands to boil!
……
“On your marks!”
The sound of international players taking their positions sounded on the field.
After a gunshot, the eight runners quickly rushed out of the track!
Ye Qin felt that his starting reaction was not particularly fast at the moment of starting, and at the moment of starting, he could feel that Yuhamblake and Britain's Harry Ayetti were both one position faster than him.
He fell last.
Young athletes may be in a very unstable state, but if they have undergone professional training, especially in the 100-meter event, they can still achieve excellent starting speed.
Ye Qin did not have a panic in his heart because of the backward start, although it was not as smooth as the start in the preliminaries and semi-finals, but he had encountered such a situation many times in the 200m and 400m races.
Even in the 100-meter races he had participated in several times in Haixi Province, he often fell behind at this stage, and with the mentality he has now experienced in various competitions, he did not panic in the face of such a situation.
Bowing his head and swinging his arms, his stride was still fast and powerful, and he increased his speed step by step.
Thirty meters, Ye Qin's cadence and stride length cooperated, and he had already run from the last place to the sixth place.
In the 50 meters, Ye Qin entered the high-speed stage of the road and ran to fourth, alongside another Chinese athlete, Liang Hongjia, who now has Britain's Harry Ayette in lane 3, Jamaica's Youhamblake in lane 5, and Canada's Justin Warner in lane 6.
In the 70 meters, Yechin overtook Yuhamblake and Justin Warner and caught up with Britain's Harry Ayette, who was running in first place. Harry Aggins-Ajeti is Britain's up-and-coming young sprinter who even competed with world record holder Asafavil at last month's Gateshead Grand Prix.
In the 80 meters, Ye Qin gradually opened up the distance with Harry Akins Ajeti with his super speed ability in the second half of the race, and ran in front of all the runners.
Ninety meters, Ye Qin has locked up the victory of this men's 100-meter race!
Rush the line!
The results of this group of men's 100m finals appeared on the on-site timing board -
10.18 seconds!
Compared with the first result of Ye Qin's preliminaries, it is slightly worse, but it is still far beyond the level of the rest of the players.
Harry Aegins Ajeti, who crossed the finish line in second place behind Yechin, ran 10.37 seconds, followed by Justin Warner in third and Youhamblake in fourth with 10.39 seconds and 10.42 seconds respectively. Another Chinese sprinter, Liang Hongjia, finished sixth in the final with a time of 10.43 seconds.
The applause and cheers of the audience once again reached the maximum, and many spectators who came to watch the game were for this moment!
Watch Ye Qin win the championship, watch Ye Qin win!
Everyone is proud at this moment!
And Ye Qin himself laughed after crossing the finish line, although he was not very satisfied with the final result.
Winning a gold medal in the men's 100m for the first time on an international stage is something to be happy about.
That's not the point, and it's not the end, though!
This is just the beginning!
