August 7, Berlin, Tegel Airport.

A flight from Yanjing to Berlin slowly landed, and a group of 350 athletes wearing red and white Chinese national team uniforms walked out of the airport exit with their own salutes.

Ye Qin pulled the suitcase, followed behind many athletes, and looked at the exit of international flights at the entire Berlin airport, where several propagandists wearing bear hoods were standing at them, waving at them, dancing hand and foot around everyone, and couldn't help but slightly purse the corners of his mouth.

"It's their mascot, isn't it?" Zhang Peimeng, who was walking next to Ye Qin, glanced at the staff member with the brown bear hood a few times, turned around and asked with a smile.

"It seems to be called Parino, this mascot looks good!" Su Bingtian was also looking at the enthusiastic bear puppet, smiling and waving his hand.

"No Fuwa cute!"

"That's not bad"

Ye Qin listened to the words of the two beside him and smiled.

The mascot of the Berlin World Championships this time is indeed quite good in the various events he has participated in, at least it is more pleasing to the eye.

Think about the mascot when he participated in the Athens Olympics in 04, it really feels a little out of his aesthetic, including some other big and small competitions, and some strange mascots will make people feel funny when they look at them.

All the way out of the airport and followed the bus designated by the organizing committee, as the footsteps of the 12th World Championships in 2009 quietly approached, Yechin obviously found a completely different atmosphere after arriving in Berlin again.

Germany's success in organising major events, such as the 1974 and 2006 World Cups, the 1993 World Athletics Championships, and further afield to the 1936 and 1972 Olympic Games, has given the IAAF confidence in Germany to organise the World Championships.

The organisers of the tournament announced a whopping 49.5 million euros of preliminaries for the event, which seemed to be quite expensive, but the broadcast rights of the tournament alone were sold to 213 countries and regions, a new record in the history of the World Championships.

As the bus went all the way to the Chinese team station in Berlin, Ye Qin and many athletes had a simple meal, and then they had jet lag on the first day.

From the second day, Ye Qin and several members of the relay team began to enter adaptive training under the leadership of the staff arranged by the organizers.

During this period, many reporters have been discovering Ye Qin, and they all want to find some breaking news from Ye Qin.

Although there are many athletes participating in this World Championships, there is no doubt that Ye Qin is already one of the most influential among many athletes.

CCTV reporters sent reporters to organize an interview team, which began to shoot records from Ye Qin's pre-game preparations, and some training videos with the relay team were sent back to China, which attracted a lot of attention and expectations.

……

On August 15, the 12th World Championships in 2009 officially began!

In the morning, the Berlin Olympic Stadium was already full of spectators who came to watch the game.

After arriving at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin again, Yechin was quite familiar with many local locations because he had already played in the Golden League in the previous two months.

There are two races to be competed in today, one is the men's 100m heats at 11:40 a.m., and the men's 100m semi-finals at 18:50 p.m.

The World Championships will run from August 15 to August 23, a total of nine days.

In these nine days of competition, for Ye Qin, the previous races should be pretty good, and the more difficult ones are basically the same as the previous World Championships, all of which are in the middle of the 200 meters and 400 meters.

Aside from the men's 4×100m relay in the last few days, Ye Qin participated in the three events:

August 15 at 11:40 a.m. men's 100m preliminaries, 18:50 men's 100m semifinals;

August 16 at 19:10 men's 100m semifinals, 21:35 men's 100m final;

On August 18, at 10:05 a.m., the men's 200m preliminaries, 11:05 a.m., the men's 400m preliminaries, and the men's 200m semi-finals at 18:55 p.m.;

August 19, 18:15 men's 400m semifinals, 19:25 men's 200m semifinals;

August 20, 20:35 men's 200m final;

August 21, 22 o'clock men's 400m final;

The whole field is basically the same as Ye Qin in the 05 and 07 World Championships, especially the arrangement of the men's 200m and 400m events, which are particularly compact.

There used to be a lot of people who wondered if Ye Qin would be able to cope with such a frequent and intensive event, but now most people are not surprised that Ye Qin competes in three sprint events at one World Championships.

At the last World Championships in Osaka, Ye Qin showed his amazing dominance in the men's 100m, 200m and 400m events for the first time in the sprint event, which has become Yechin's most striking characteristic.

For example, the reason why this year's Laureus Sports Award for the best athlete was awarded to Ye Chin, instead of Yusse Bote, who also won two gold medals and a world record, is that Ye Chin's gold medal in the men's 100m event is heavier, and another direct reason is that Ye Qin has shown strong strength in three events.

In the international athletics world, Ye Qin can have such a huge influence now, definitely not only because he broke the men's 100m world record and gold medal, but also because of the outstanding performance of the 200m and 400m events.

Michael Johnson has become the world's leading flyer, and if it is only the men's 200m or 400m world record, although it can be famous all over the world, it will definitely not reach the level of being worshiped by many track and field enthusiasts and athletes.

But to be able to break the world record in both disciplines is a sign of world-class dominance.

And Yechin now surpasses Michael Johnson in the sprint event, and he now lacks only one thing he lacks, the men's 200m world record.

The competition between Yechin and Yusse Bote in the men's 100m and 200m at this World Championships has also become the biggest attraction.

Now, the title of the king of omnibious speed is no longer the title of the domestic media, but has become a reference to many foreign media to call Ye Qin.

On the way to Ye Qin's rise, many foreign media have also questioned Ye Qin's performance in the field, but if it is just a separate men's event, many people may still think it is worth believing, but there are also two men's 200 meters and 400 meters, which is really, to put it mildly, it is impossible to find a top athlete to take all kinds of doping drugs to achieve the current point.

I have had a detailed examination of Ye Qin's body, and I have repeatedly publicized how amazing Ye Qin's physical condition is in various media reports, such an excellent talent, coupled with perennial focused training and strong belief, the strength that broke out is what makes the whole world look at it.

The entire schedule of the World Championships, for Ye Qin himself, the men's 100m in the previous two days will be in his peak state.

After all, he is the same as any other player at this time, and he can play at his best.

In the next 200 meters and 400 meters, he needs to do both, and there are rolling competitions in the preliminaries and semifinals, even Ye Qin himself knows very well that he will be affected by the time.

Of course, to what extent, he himself has no way to draw conclusions. However, regarding this, both Ye Qin himself and the members of the coaching staff believe in Ye Qin's physical reserves.

From the beginning of Yechin's entry into the international arena, the men's 200m and 400m were first held in the rolling race, and later only the men's 100m race was added.

Relatively speaking, the men's 100m schedule is ahead of time, and it is not too much of a problem for him.

"There are really a lot more participants in the men's 100m this year than before."

On the indoor warm-up track of the Berlin Olympia Stadium, Zhang Peimeng hurried up to do two sets of starting exercises, then returned to the sidelines and stood with Ye Qin, looking at many runners helplessly.

"Sprinting is becoming popular again internationally, and there are more runners who meet the overall standards."

Ye Qin looked at so many people, and also shook his head slightly, now it is not easy to go in and do a few sets of starts to warm up, there are really too many people.

At this year's World Championships in Berlin, a staggering 92 athletes took part in the men's 100m, dozens more than at previous Olympic and World Championships.

The preliminaries alone were divided into 12 preliminaries groups, and the game time started at 11:40 and ended at about 1 o'clock.

Fortunately, before the two came, they had already warmed up in the morning, and at this time, they did a few sets of starting exercises just to keep themselves in shape and excited in the race.

It doesn't matter much for an athlete of Ye Qin's level, as long as it is not injured, it is basically impossible to have a problem in the preliminaries and rematches. With a time of 10.20 seconds and 9.80 seconds, you can run as much as you want.

However, Zhang Peimeng is a little different, he is a player who has just reached the A standard, and his results are far from reaching the top level, and he still needs to fight for the preliminaries and rematches.

"Relax, you will definitely be able to advance if you play at a normal level!" Looking at Zhang Pei Meng beside him, Ye Qin whispered encouragement to him.

"Well, I also think there should be no problem with the rematch." Zhang Peimeng smiled beside him, from 05 to now 09, he has seen Ye Qin grow into a world superstar step by step, but in the process, he has also accumulated a lot of competition experience.

Not to mention the Golden Grand Prix in Shenghai, the World Championships in '07 and the Olympic Games in '08 alone have been able to give him a very calm mind to face the World Championships in Berlin.

And on the other hand, although there are 12 preliminaries in the men's 100m at this year's World Championships, there are 12 preliminaries in the semi-finals, but there is also one more group than before, with 5 semi-final groups and 40 competitors. The top three in each group in the preliminary round will advance directly, and the remaining four places will be filled for the four best players among the remaining players.

Of course, there are still only two groups in the semifinals, and it is 40 into 16 to advance from the semifinals to the semifinals, which is more difficult than 32 into 16 in the four semi-finals, but in the preliminaries, there are 40 semi-final places, which is still larger than the previous 32 places.

The two talked for a while, which was a kind of psychological adjustment before the game, and soon the men's 100m preliminaries officially began.

Zhang Peimeng was the second group of the preliminaries, and appeared earlier than Ye Qin, and after the first group of players in the preliminaries came on the court, he followed the other players to start the later check-in procedures and prepare to play.

Ye Qin was in the 10th group of the preliminaries, and waited until about 12:40 before he began to enter the field.

In the Olympic Stadium, when Ye Qin entered the arena, the overwhelming applause and cheers of the audience instantly rang out.

These applause and cheers are all for Ye Qin, as the current first person in the international athletics world, his every move can be said to be the most eye-catching and attention-grabbing.

The audience in Berlin, many of whom had watched Ye Qin's performance when he participated in the Golden League two months ago, had a deeper familiarity with Ye Qin compared with other players, and the applause was particularly warm

This time, I don't know if the men's 100m preliminaries were due to a random computer coincidence or a deliberate arrangement by the organizers, but before Ye Qin entered the field, there were Yusse Bot in the ninth group of the men's 100m preliminaries, and Jason Gaby in the eleventh group of the preliminaries after him.

The three top sprinters, who are known as the men's 100m of the century, did not appear in one group, but were all in the preliminaries next to each other. It seems that this way of meeting can allow many viewers to seriously and carefully compare the performance of the three players.

There are not many athletes in Yechin's squad that he is familiar with, only Trinidad and Tobago's Richard Thompson is slightly more familiar. Another Britishman, Tyrone Edgar, Ye Qin remembers seems to have competed against each other, and most of the other players are not familiar to him.

As the eight runners entered the field and were ready to start, a gunshot rang out, and the race officially began!

After the gunshot, Ye Qin quickly rushed out of the starting line, and twenty meters later, Ye Qin ran to the first position.

Thirty meters, forty meters, Ye Qin's speed is getting faster and faster, and after entering the middle run, the speed is further stretched by other competitors.

Of the eight players present, with the exception of Trinidad and Tobago's Richard Thompson, the others have been thrown away by Yechin by half a meter to a meter away.

Fifty or sixty meters later, Ye Qin had completely relaxed, and he looked like he was already running with the inertia of his body.

Rushing to the finish line in one breath, amid the cheers and applause of the audience, the results of this group of Yechin preliminaries appeared on the on-site timing board.

10.25 seconds!

Ye Qin hardly made it to the top spot in this group of preliminaries.

Richard Thompson, who finished second in the group with a time of 10.36 seconds, also ran with ease, and he did not fight with Ye Qin to compete for the first place in the group, but only guaranteed his top three places to qualify.

After getting off the field, Ye Qin did not stay in the Olympic Stadium for long, but followed Chen Zhongzhou, who was waiting in the lounge, and followed the group back to the Chinese team's station.

There is a rematch in the evening, tomorrow is the semi-finals and the final, although his fitness is very good, but for the next matches, he needs to relax and rest.
