Chapter 281: New York Grand Prix 200m Battle (Part II)

Forty meters, fifty meters, sixty meters......

On the field, the speed of the eight competitors is getting faster and faster, and after the first 30 meters of the corner, the speed of all the competitors has gradually increased.

Stimulated by the high-level players in the front and back lanes, Yechin's speed gradually increased, and the scene was watching the many spectators who were watching the game at this time, and it could be seen with the naked eye that Yechin, the third lane player, was slightly slower than Walter Dicks in the fourth lane and Mark Burns in the second lane.

With the current 100-meter level of the two, Ye Qin is still difficult to match with him.

Sixty meters later, Mark Burns was already catching up with Yechin from the inside on the corner, while Walter Dix on the other side was a little behind Yechin.

Ye Qin could feel Mark Burns running fast beside him, and even heard the sound of the opponent's fast footsteps, and at the position of 60 meters, he was pulled away by the outside runners, and was pressed to catch up by the players in the inner lane.

If you are an athlete with a worse mentality, you may not be able to stabilize it at this time. For the sprint race, there was a slight hesitation in the mentality, and the results on the field were almost immediate.

When he participated in the World Junior Championships for the first time, facing these black players with strong explosive power, Ye Qin once had such an experience, but he was still young at that time.

But after training for competitions such as the World Youth Championships and the Olympic Games, especially the men's 200m final at the end of the Olympic Games, he can almost feel that he is falling behind at the beginning of the race, and he is also catching up until the end.

The experience of facing the top sprinters in the 100m under 10 seconds has made him mentally adjusted very well, and even if he is pulled away in the first 60 meters, he does not seem panicked.

Seventy meters, eighty meters, ninety meters......

The speed of the runners increased faster and faster, and at this time, among the eight runners, Walter Dicks of the United States in the fourth lane had already run to the first position in the relative distance with his super ability in the first half of the race, and Yechin also opened up a considerable distance.

And in second place was a tall and slender figure in the sixth path.

That's Yusse Both.

Compared with 02 and 03, his height has not changed much now, but his body is obviously much stronger, and his exposed arms, shoulders and neck have obvious bulging muscle lines.

It's a gradual transition from teenager to youth, and with that comes more explosiveness and a fast cadence.

With a long stride that far exceeds that of the average sprinter, and with the strength that is now slowly increasing, he rushed to the front from 70 meters onwards, almost going toe-to-neck with Wallace Spearmon in lane 7 at the 90 meters, and both of them were close to overtaking Timothy Benjamin.

Yechin could feel that the first half of the fourth lane of Walter-Dix was indeed impressive, and although it was not as strong as the ones he faced in the final of the Athens Olympics, there was no doubt that his first half was the most impactful of the group.

Due to the distance between the paths, Ye Qin didn't know that Yusse-Bot of the sixth path had already rushed forward with all his strength, and even if he knew it, he didn't care or was surprised by him.

It is no surprise that Yusse Bot has such qualities, as he was a talented 200m runner who was able to run 20 seconds in 2004.

As the distance progressed, Ye Chin's speed gradually increased to the highest after reaching seventy meters.

He could clearly feel that Mark Burns was fast in lane 2 and Walter Dicks in lane 3, but at this stage, the speed of the two had gradually reached their peak, and although they had thrown him away a little more, it wasn't too much.

The difference in the 100-meter level is about 0.3-0.5 seconds, even if Ye Qin's cornering skills are better, but there is no way to offset the gap caused by hard power.

But this is a 200-meter race, and it is far from the stage of winning or losing.

By the time they reached ninety meters, the two people with excellent explosive power and speed in the first half of the race had already seen a slight decline in speed, while Ye Qin's speed was improving, and he was able to bite the two steadily, keeping them in sync, and not being further pulled apart.

100 meters, 110 meters......

The curve goes to the straight stage.

The audience on the sidelines suddenly boiled, and the overwhelming shouts and cheers seemed to suddenly burst out.

The best part of the men's 200m race often starts at this time!

Unless it is an absolute lead or a professional track and field practitioner, it is difficult for ordinary people to specifically judge who is second in the cornering stage.

At this point, the corners are over, and the eight runners are back on a horizontal line, and the lead and the lag become clear.

The moment they entered the straight, the cheers from the spectators in the stands almost toppled the roof of Icahn Stadium, and everyone could clearly see who was running first.

Fourth way, Walter Dicks!

The fourth-fastest junior athlete in the United States, with a 10-second level in the 100 meters, was the fastest of the eight runners in the group in the first half of the race.

He was followed by Jamaica's Yusse Bot in lane six.

With his big stride and powerful bursts, Usse Bot is slightly slower than Walter Dicks, but the gap between the two is very small, but a multi-body distance.

Third in the list is Mark Burns, the Trinidad and Tobago athlete who was also in the first half of the race, and he is also a multi-position distance from Yusse Bot in front of him.

The fourth to make it to the straight was American veteran John Capel, who, during his high school years, was once considered one of the top football catchers in the nation. At the same time, his personal sprint results are also very impressive. The 100m is close to about 10 seconds, and he ran a personal best of 19.85 seconds in the 200m at the 2000 National Olympic Trials, and won the 200m gold medal at the World Championships in 2003.

The New York Grand Prix, which was also one of his warm-up races for this year's 2005 World Championships, was not particularly good, but no one dared to underestimate his strong prowess.

Wallace Spearmon entered the seventh lane in the fifth lane, and Yechin entered the straight more than half a body behind Wallace Spearmon.

The last eighty meters......

Yechin looked at Mark Burns in the second lane in front of him, and Walter Dicks in the fourth lane, and it was time for him to exert his strength.

He could clearly feel the speed of the two men in front of him slipping, and he was almost two meters away from Walter Dicks in the eighty or ninety meters in front of him, and now the distance has been almost half reduced, and from 90 meters onwards is his best stage.

Even though he has a good starting reaction, he is still a little behind the 100-meter level of about 10 seconds, and when the speed of other athletes starts to decline, he can still maintain his top speed.

Eighty meters, seventy meters, sixty meters from the finish line......

Ye Qin suddenly overtook from the sixth position, and at the same time, on the other side, Wallace Spearmon in the seventh lane also maintained an extremely strong ability in the second half of the race. In this year's NCAA outdoor 200m, Wallace Spearmon was able to win the championship and beat fellow Walter Dicks on the back of the race, thanks to his strong individual ability in the second half of the race.

In the 70 meters, Ye Qin has gradually equaled the veteran John Keppel, and the opponent's 200 meters are not bad, but this race may have the nature of warm-up, and the performance is not particularly outstanding.

Sixty meters, Yechin had caught up with Mark Burns in the second lane, and at the same time, on the other side, Wallace Spearmon was almost neck-to-neck with Yechin, and also accelerated to catch up.

At this time, there are only two people in front of them, Walter Dicks and Usse Both.

In the cheers of more than 5,000 spectators, watching the changes in the position of the players in the arena, their emotions rose to the peak.

Of the many games they've watched, this one is arguably the most suspenseful and elusive.

Walter Dix and Mark Burns, who are good at leading in the first half of the game, veteran John Capel, Usher Both, who is extremely strong in the first half of the game, and Wallace Spearmon, who is as good at outbursting more than much in the second half like Yechin.

Only a few dozen meters into the straight, the players on the field have changed.

On the sidelines, Randy Hunter's eyes did not leave Ye Chin's figure for half a second from the beginning of the game, his brows were furrowed, and his expression revealed a rare nervousness.

He had seen the strength of the players in this game before the game, and the overall level was very high, and it was very difficult for Ye Qin to win, but it was not completely without a chance.

In Randy Hunter's mind, this is a relatively close game, and it will be difficult for Yetin, especially if the speed in the first half is not outstanding enough, and it will be necessary to completely watch the second half of the play.

The 200m is not the 400m, and although the speed endurance ability in the second half is important, the absolute speed ability is also a very critical factor.

At this time, it was him, a veteran coach who had been on the field for a long time, and it was difficult to see the final result for a while.

Fifty meters, forty meters, thirty meters......

Both Yechin and Wallace Spearmon not only chased forward with their strong speed retention ability, but Yechin was even faster than Wallace Spearmon.

He was a little slower than Wallace-Spearmon when he entered the straight, but now he was a position ahead of Wallace-Spearmon.

But even so, the speed of the two compared to the other competitors is already very amazing.

In front of the two, Walter Dicks' pace had slowed down, and by this time he had lost some of his speed by the powerful first half of the explosion.

As in this year's NCAA Outdoor Championships, he was fast and rushed in the first half of the race, but in the second half of the race, Wallace Spearmon was caught up in the final few tens of meters, and he unfortunately only finished second.

At this point, the situation on the field played out again.

The huge advantage of leading in the first 100 meters was gradually erased by people in the second half of the short tens of meters, and it was about to catch up.

But this time, it's not just a Wallace Spearmon, but also a much better Yechin in the second half.

Usse Both, ran in the first position.

He has a big stride and speed, and his 400m training has given him an impressive amount of speed, and he has already surpassed Walter Dicks within a distance of one or two metres into the straight.

But like Walter Dicks, he could feel the rapid approach of the two fighters behind him.

Yusse-Bott is well aware that he is not at his best at this time, as he was running faster in May last year than he is now.

After the defeat in the Athens Olympics, he chose a coach, adapted to the new training rhythm, and then in order to allow his body to better play his speed, so as not to strain the muscles in his legs due to scoliosis in high-speed running, he is still in the correction period, and he is not yet fully played.

But even so, he still didn't want to lose.

It was his first stop back on the international stage, and he wanted to win, for himself and for the Jamaicans who attacked and mocked him.

The last 30 meters, 20 meters, 10 meters......

After Ye Qin passed Walter Dix in the fourth lane, there was no other opponent in his eyes, and he could feel the rapid running figure of the other way, but he didn't dare to look left and right.

This is the most critical moment.

He has only one thought now, rush!

10 meters ...... Eight meters ...... Six-meter ......

Rush the line!

The audience was in an uproar!

On the screen of the finish line, the men's 200m results are already in front of everyone.

25 seconds in 20 seconds!

The first to cross the finish line has appeared,

But, who is the champion?

The sprint of just a few meters in the final stage is long to say, but what is really reflected in the eyes of the audience is like a flash of lightning, Ye Chin, Eusse Both, and Wallace Spearmon, so fast that the spectators on the sidelines can hardly see who crossed the finish line first.

On the runway near the finish line, Ye Qin supported his waist with his hands and breathed heavily, but his eyes were staring straight at the big screen hanging high above the stadium in front of him.

Next to him, Usse Bott was holding his knees and looking at the big screen with his head held high, while Wallace Spearmon stood there with his fists clenched and like a stake, staring at the big screen. Everyone can feel that the speed of the collision is very close, but it is difficult for anyone to say who is faster at the moment.

Except for the three players, the other players did the same at this time, and all the spectators on the sidelines, as well as the coaches and staff of the players, were waiting for the final result to appear.

In athletics, it is not uncommon for several athletes to cross the finish line at a speed that is difficult to discern with the naked eye, but the most common is in the men's 100m race, and in the 200m race, it is relatively rare, and the difference between them has been widened by running twice the distance.

One second, two seconds...... Ten seconds......

Ye Qin looked at the big screen and felt that the time was extraordinarily long, perhaps dozens of seconds had passed, or more than a minute.

The numbers finally began to beat on the big screen, and when the first place in the men's 200-meter race appeared in the first hurdle, Ye Qin's whole person jumped up almost instantly, and his face showed ecstasy.

On the big screen, the results of this group of men's 200 meters show:

1. The third lane, Ye Qin, China, 20.25 seconds;

2. Sixth lane, Yusse Bote, Jamaica, 20.26 seconds;

3. 7th lane, Wallace Spearmon, USA, 20.27 seconds;

4. Fourth lane, Walter Dicks, USA, 20.37 seconds;

5. 5th lane, John Capel, USA, 20.44 seconds;

6. Lane 2, Mark Burns, Trinidad and Tobago, 20.52 seconds;

7. First lane, Dwight Thomas, Jamaica, 20.69 seconds;

8. Eighth lane, Timothy Benjamin, Wales, 21.04 seconds;

"Champion!"

"I'm a champion!"

Ye Qin raised his head proudly, his eyes swept over the arena and stands in the distance, and he kept looking at the distant sky, he won the third New York Grand Prix again!
