Chapter 549: I'll Be the Champion! It has always been!
"Ladies and gentlemen, the men's 100m race, the most important event of this golden track and field competition, is about to begin...... The first is Michael Flatt from Jamaica......"
In the Olympic Stadium, the sound of the live broadcast sounded, and two hosts, a man and a woman, began to introduce the players in English and Italian respectively.
Ye Qin stood on the runway of the fifth lane, his expression calm, and only when his name was called out on the radio did he take a step forward, waved a gesture towards the camera, and then waved to the audience.
Suddenly, the audience was thunderous, and the influence of the world's first flyer now has a huge market no matter where in the world.
With the introduction of a famous player on the radio, the atmosphere in the entire stadium gradually became solemn and solemn.
The noisy scene of 50,000 people also gradually became quiet as the time approached minute by minute, and everyone's eyes were only staring at the nine figures on the starting line.
βOn your marks!β
In the midst of this tense and anxious atmosphere, a sound reminding the players to be in place resounded throughout the stadium.
Before the men's 100-meter starting line, nine athletes at the same time all became extremely focused and stepped onto the runner step by step.
Jason Gaby, who is fourth on Yechin's left, the moment his feet land on the runner, he seems to feel that all the people and things around him have been emptied, and the whole person is completely focused on the race.
The '08 defeat was a major setback for his entire career, missing out on one of the best Olympics at his peak, being slammed by the domestic media in the United States, and other pressures that have been weighing heavily on his shoulders for more than a year.
He's been doing really well this year, setting new highs in both the 400m and the 200m.
However, this is not enough, he still needs to prove himself at this year's World Championships.
But before the World Championships, what he needs first is to challenge Ye Qin head-on in the men's 100m.
He took over the men's 100m first man crown and won almost all of them from the second half of '07.
Now, it's time to break this reign of his!
In lane six, Asafavil is constantly adjusting his breathing, having played against almost every strong athlete in this track and field arena.
Whether it's Maurice Green who met late in his career when he was just rising, or Jax Thelin, or Jason Gaby, Yechin, Yusse Bot and others, he is no stranger to these players.
What he needs now is a gold medal in the big competition!
It's hard! Asafavir knows he can be nervous in big races, and if he doesn't start perfectly, he can even slack off and give up.
Where the best accolades come from, and that's in these small and medium-sized races.
He has won against Yusse Bot several times after the rise of the two of Yechin and Yusse Both, but Yechin ......
If you look back, he should have won two or three years ago, but he wasn't particularly sure.
At that time, Ye Qin was a men's 200m athlete, and they didn't have much contact with each other, and after Ye Qin rose to prominence in the men's 100m event, he seemed to have been losing to each other.
"Now I'm a challenger, don't have to bear any pressure, just let it go! Win against Yechin in this game, win against Jason Gaby! Continue to win them at the World Championships in Berlin after that! β
Asafavir said silently in his heart, stepping on the runner with both feet, and staring at the position near the finish line 100 meters in front of him, his eyes determined and determined.
As the noise of the audience gradually subsided, after Ye Qin stepped onto the runner, he seemed to feel a trace of tension in his heart at this moment.
He's faced a few opponents in a few games this year, but for now, this one is undoubtedly the most head-to-head.
Jason Gaby is well aware of his strength, and although his results have increased rapidly in the early stages of the men's 100m, he has lost to each other in several races in the first half of '07.
Finally, at the 07 Osaka World Championships men's 100m and 200m to win Jason Gaby, it can be said that there is a certain element of luck, Jason Gaby was in good shape that year, especially in terms of the mentality of the competition, Asafavir and Yusse Bot are not his opponents.
After '08, he also ran under 9.80 seconds a few times, and if Jason Gaby was at his best at last year's Olympics, Yechin believes that even if the opponent may not be able to shake him and Yusse Bot in the end, it is possible to run under 9.70 seconds.
With opponents like Jason Gaby and Asafavir, Yechin can say very clearly, playing against them, if he catches up with them and is in slightly better form, he may lose to both of them if he is a little careless.
In the preliminaries, neither Jason Gaby nor Al-Safavir easily ran under the 10-second mark, and it seems that they have already shown Yechin the form of the two in this race.
Ye Qin understands that if he wants to complete the six wins of this year's Golden League, this one cannot be careless.
However, although Ye Qin was a little nervous, this nervousness was just right for him, which made him surge more strongly at this moment.
"I'm the number one in the world and I'm going to face more and more intense challenges in sprinting, so this is just the beginning! Come on, run for a run! Let me see if you can beat me! β
In Rome's Olympic Stadium, the crowd of more than 50,000 spectators fell silent as the eight runners stepped onto the runner one by one, waiting for the tense moment to come.
This is the case in sprint races, especially in the men's 100m race, where the race time is often only a flash of lightning, but from the pre-race period, the time to wait for the gun to sound is the most grinding.
"Yechin, Jason Gaby, Asafavir, who will be the winner of this tournament will probably decide who will win the World Championships in a month's time. The lineup for this men's 100m race can also be called the pinnacle of our golden track and field competitions in previous years...... Oh, the cameraman switched to the audience for us, let's see who that is, Euse-Bot!! He also came to the scene, but unfortunately he did not participate in the men's 100m race, otherwise we could have seen the best men's 100m duel in history before the World Championships in Berlin......"
The live commentary of the men's 100m broadcast on Italian television was full of excitement about the athletes, and for the Golden League, the popularity of the whole of Europe is not low, and a large number of track and field fans will still tune in to watch the competition. Audiences in some European countries other than Italy will be paying attention here.
"Let me see what you can do!"
In the audience, Yusse Bott was silently focused on him, he just resisted the urge to stand up and watch the game, grasping the lower edge of the chair with both hands, and the muscles of his whole body tensed.
That is, Yuhan Blake in the arena, the junior brother who follows him as a training partner, has grown very fast and fiercely in the past two years, and I don't know what kind of level the opponent can play in this match against the world's top players.
On the other hand, he wanted to see Yechin play against Jason Gaby and Asafavir, and if he remembered correctly, it seemed that this was the first time he had sat in the audience and watched the three of them play together.
Although Asafavier is his teammate among the three, everyone can be said to be rivals on the sprint track.
"Yechin, Jason Gaby, Asafa, let me see what kind of results you guys can run?"
Yusse Both's lips twitched, and if coach Glenn Mills said it was the best time to observe his opponents, the World Championships in Berlin were not far away.
Last year at the Olympics he lost to Yechin in the 100m, and this year he needs to win it back.
Whoever stands in his way, he will overtake them and be the first to cross the finish line!
βSETοΌβ
A ready command rang out in the stadium.
The nine runners in front of the starting line almost staggered, got up at the same time, and made the starting motion.
Ye Qin pressed his hands on the rough runway, his eyes fell on an area between his hands, and the white starting line clearly appeared in front of him.
But in his mind, it was as if he didn't see it at all, but the whole body of his whole mind was listening to the gunshots that were about to go out.
Syllable!
A crisp match gun rang out throughout the stadium.
"Wow!"
The nine runners in front of the starting line suddenly swung their arms and stepped in unison, and their feet slammed on the runner, shooting out like a runway.
Ye Qin's starting action was crisp and neat, without the slightest hesitation, starting from the starting line, I don't know how many times I had practiced, and when my ears heard the sound of the starting gun, it was already a completely pure physical instinctive reaction.
At the same time, Jason Gaby and Asafarville on the left and right sides of Ye Qin were also like this, everyone started very fast, and very fierce!
In fact, not only the three of them, but other athletes competing in the same group, every start can be said to be extremely explosive speed. Like Yuhan Blake in lane 8 and Michael Rogers in lane 9, they are both incredibly fast.
10 meters, 20 meters, 30 meters......
After the nine contestants rang out in the race, they quickly increased their speed like wild horses.
In the first three steps, Jason Gaby was noticeably faster than Yechin and Asafavir.
This is because Jason Gaby is five or six centimeters taller than Yechin and Asafavir, and his explosive power allows him to have a better cadence.
But after three steps, entering a distance of about ten meters, Yechin and Asafarville were relatively close to the explosive start, and they caught up with Jason Gaby.
After the '07 World Championships, Japan did an extremely detailed technical analysis of slow motion in light Asafavil and Jason Gaby respectively.
Among them, Asafavir's much-talked-about explosive start was not the fastest step together, but after the start, he entered a distance of about 10 meters to fully exert his starting advantage.
Although Jason Gaby is considered to be dominant in the second half, but in fact, Jason Gaby's explosiveness and cadence are super fast, his pendulum start in the first few steps makes his cadence faster, in the first ten meters of the instant start, his speed is actually faster than Asafavil, but the distance of ten meters to thirty meters will be surpassed by Asafavil, and then enter the link of running on the way, Jason Gaby will once again enter the extremely fast running link on the way.
In just a 100-meter race, the slight difference is almost invisible to the naked eye, and through the slow-motion analysis frame by frame, it can still be seen that in fact, a good show has been staged inside.
Thirty meters, Ye Qin and Asafavir have gradually run out of the advantage among many players, the overall level of the players in this race is not low, the lead of the two in these 30 meters is not obvious, that is, one position to half a position.
Jason Gaby was outpaced by the two at a distance of 10 to 30 meters, but his fast cadence was constantly increasing his speed, only less than half a body distance between the two.
The exclamations and boiling voices of the crowd at the Olympic Stadium gradually became more and more enthusiastic, from the sound of the starting gun to the fact that the players on the field had run a distance of dozens of meters, the audience could react and began to cheer.
Forty meters, fifty meters, sixty meters......
The speed of the nine players is getting faster and faster!
The start of the race was good, but there was no particularly clear advantage against Asafaville and Jason Gaby.
But entering the 40-meter stage, Ye Qin's body began to raise his head with the high-speed running, his movements became more and more stretched, his swing arms and cadence became faster and faster, and his stride length became better.
Gradually, many viewers with better sight can already see Ye Qin start to run out, from the position of being on a par with Asafavir, gradually overtaking each other, and beginning to lead the crowd.
Fifty meters......
Asafavir bit Yechin in front of him, and the start of this race was perfect for him, but even his perfect start still failed to surpass Yechin.
At this time, on the other side of the fourth lane, Jason Gaby's speed began to increase to the highest, and then came later, gradually catching up with Asafarville.
With the top explosiveness and cadence of a 100-meter athlete, and the excellent second-half speed maintenance ability of a 200-meter athlete, it can be said that in this era, if it were not for the top runners like Yechin and Yusse Bot, Jason Gaby would be the brightest sprinter of this era.
Sixty meters......
The pattern of the players on the field has begun to become clear.
Ye Qin is in the lead, Jason Gaby has all the qualities he has, and compared to Jason Gaby, whether he is in terms of starting reaction or starting acceleration, or on the way, Ye Qin is not weaker than Jason Gaby, or even better.
ββ¦β¦ Asafavir had a fast start and Gaby was chasing, and the speed was amazing! Ye Chin, Ye Qin ran to the front, the strength of the world's number one was fully revealed, Ye Chin! Ye Qin ......"
The Italian commentator in charge of commenting the game in the audience shouted Ye Chin's name into the microphone at this moment, although the Italian TV station was biased in political leanings, but in this sports competition, he had to shout a Chinese name and willingly shouted for him.
This is the world of competitive sports, race, race, nationality, in the face of absolute results, can not be discussed on the table!
It was a replica of the 2007 World Championships, with Yechin, Jason Gaby and Asafavir ahead of the pack.
However, compared to the men's 100m race at the World Championships two years ago, the three of them were significantly faster and more competitive.
Seventy meters, eighty meters, ninety meters......
Yechin was telling Wild Run that he could feel the pressure from Jason Gaby and Asafavil on the left and right of the two lanes around him.
It's a feeling that's completely different from other players, you have to be absolutely focused and run with all your might, because these two are the ones who can really challenge him.
But because of this, Ye Qin felt that the state of the whole person seemed to be completely aroused.
Of the few races he has run this year, he has only been in good shape in the previous race against Yusse Both.
After entering the seventy meters, Jason Gaby has gradually surpassed Asafavir, closely following in the second position, the gap between him and Ye Qin at about 70 meters is not big, there is only a distance of more than one body, but into the 80 meters, Ye Qin's faster absolute speed and better speed maintenance ability gradually showed, and the distance between the two was opened up again!
The audience was completely boiling at this moment.
In the stands of the spectators, Usher Bot and Glenn Mills beside him had stood up at some point. At first, the eyes of the two of them will remain on Yuhan Blake in lane eight, but as the match progresses, the duel between Yechin and Jason Gaby and Asafaville in the middle four, five, six or three lanes completely attracts their attention.
Ninety meters ...... Ninety-five meters...... Ninety-eight meters......
The finish line is just around the corner!
Rush the line!
Ye Qin was the first to cross the finish line, and his high speed and preoccupied running almost made him cross the finish line without any movement at all, and he crossed the finish line straight away.
On the on-site timing board, this group of men's 100-meter results appeared in front of everyone!
9.66 seconds!
After Ye Qin crossed the finish line and saw the results, his footsteps barely stopped, and he continued to run on the track quickly!
ββ¦β¦ Unbelievable, Yechin! Ye Qin ran under 9.70 seconds for the second time, and he was the first athlete to run under 9.70 seconds twice. 9.66 seconds, Ye Qin's second best personal score and the third best result in the world, this world flyer from the East is in amazing shape!! β
Almost as soon as the results appeared, the voice of the narrator was like that of an Italian opera singer, and he screamed hysterically.
Before the finish line, Jason Gaby and Asafarville, who crossed the finish line and slowed down and stopped, almost subconsciously glanced at each other, and then raised their heads again to look at the big screen at the scene.
In this race, both of them can almost be said to run with all their might, and from their personal point of view, they also feel that they should run well, but it is obvious that Ye Qin is in even better shape!
Soon, just as Ye Qin spread his arms around the stadium to greet the cheers of the audience, the men's 100-meter results appeared in front of everyone on the big screen at the scene.
1. Fifth lane, Ye Qin, China, reaction 0.135 seconds, time 9.66 seconds;
2. Fourth lane, Jason Gaby, USA, reaction 0.143 seconds, time 9.75 seconds;
3. Sixth lane, Asafavil, Jamaica, reaction 0.138 seconds, time 9.84 seconds;
4. Eighth lane, Yuhan Blake, Jamaica, reaction 0.156 seconds, 9.96 seconds;
5. Third lane, Daniel Bailey, Antigua and Barbuda, reaction 0.152 seconds, time 9.97 seconds;
6. 7th lane, Steve Mullins, Jamaica, reaction 0.144 seconds, time 10.01;
7. 9th lane, Michael Rogers, USA, reaction 0.132 seconds, time 10.03 seconds;
8. Second lane, Richard Thompson, Trinidad and Tobago, reaction 0.166 seconds, time 10.05 seconds;
9. First lane, Michael Flat, Jamaica, reaction 0.157 seconds, time 10.09 seconds;
And when everyone saw this result, they almost couldn't believe the data of the normal game.
The results of this competition are truly impressive, not inferior to any world-class competition, and the overall level of the players is extremely amazing.
Nine of the nine runners ran under 10 seconds, and the other four all ran under 10.10 seconds.
Asafavil's 9.84 seconds gave a glimpse of his recovery from injury, while Jason Gaby declared his place as a challenger in the men's 100m, where he will always have a place in the men's 100m.
The most amazing thing is that Ye Qin, in the face of the challenge of two top sprinters, once again ran 9.70 seconds, becoming the only athlete on the planet to run 9.70 seconds twice.
Ye Qin, who was running around the arena, only felt that his body and mind were transparent at this moment, and he was extremely happy!
It's a great feeling to be faced with the most powerful opponent and win!
This race is also the most enjoyable race he ran after inheriting the men's 100m at the Yenching Olympics.
That's his form, and if he doesn't have enough pressure, if he doesn't have strong enough opponents, he probably won't be able to push his deeper potential.
And with a strong opponent, he can burst out with infinite power in this arena!
Looking at the noisy and boiling audience, Ye Qin didn't know that his biggest rival was watching him from the audience at the moment, but he already thought of the duel between the two in a month later.
"I'll be the one who wins! I'll be the champion! It has always been! β
