Born to Run - Chapter 505
“…Yousei Bot, Yechin, Yechin…Cross the line! At 9:85, Yechin and Yousei Bot crossed the line almost at the same time. Both of them obviously let go in the end, but they still ran in. Within 9 seconds and 90 seconds, the strength is clearly higher than other players!
…Okay, the final result is out! Youssef Bot 9:85 and Yechin 9:86 are really amazing performances. This result was already a final result in the last Olympic Games, but in this group of semi-finals, the two obviously had reservations. Under the circumstances, it can easily run out. Both of them advanced to the semi-finals at 22:30 tonight…”
Following the end of the semi-finals of the first group of the men’s 100 meters, Mu Jiang’s voice spread through the TV to the thousands of households in the commentary booth of the live media area.
After just a few short replays, many viewers who were waiting in front of the TV suddenly noticed that Yeqin’s figure appeared in the mixed channel area when the screen was switched on the TV.
The reporter on the video channel in the center of the screen did not appear on the scene, only saw a microphone with the CCTV logo, but Ye Qin’s breathless appearance appeared in thousands of households for the first time.
“Ye Qin, you seem to run more easily in this game than the preliminaries and semi-finals?”
Many spectators who are familiar with track and field competitions already know who they are when they speak to reporters on CCTV! Dong Na! She did all the interviews before and after Liu Yangyu won the Olympic Games in 2004.
“Probably because I haven’t participated in the competition for too long, I may still be a little nervous in the preliminary rounds. I didn’t perform particularly well in the starting reaction and the acceleration in the first half of the race. After finishing the preliminary rounds, I gradually started to let go. After that, it has obviously improved a lot. Just after the finals, it has already let go!”
Standing in front of the camera, Ye Qin looked at the reporter Dong Na and the camera, and understood that this was a live broadcast. What he could see was the audience in front of the TV. He beckoned slightly and looked calm and calm.
“9.86 seconds, do you think this result is still satisfactory? You hit the line almost at the same time with Youssé Bot, and he was slightly faster than you in thousandths of a second!”
“Almost! This result is actually quite good in the 100-meter event, and the last Olympic champion is almost the same.” Ye Qin smiled. He had heard that this reporter got up for the track and field sprint competition. , I don’t know much, so I just explained it briefly.
“The semi-final is a little slower than Ussé-Bot, will it affect you in the final?” Dong Na asked again with the microphone. A question was asked, and many viewers in front of the TV couldn’t help but frown.
Ye Qin smiled calmly: “It won’t matter. In the end, I had reservations and didn’t try my best to run. The same is true for the other party. If we wait for the finals, our results should be better than this. And. The main goal of the semi-finals is to advance to the finals.”
“It’s enough to qualify for the finals, right?”
“Yes, the goal is the final! Now that the goal has been achieved, then everything is in the final!”
“Okay, then we won’t continue to delay your time!” Dong Na saw the gesture of the director next to her, knowing that the time has taken up a lot, and immediately stopped the interview, and then added, “Ye Qin, I wish you a smooth game. !”
“Thank you!”
After finishing the brief interview after the game, Ye Qin quickly left the mixed channel area and returned to the venue arranged by the team to begin physical therapy and rest.
Two hours is not a long time. For athletes who have just finished the men’s 100 meters, it would be beneficial to the finals if they can have more rest.
After Yechin finished the interview, the eight athletes in the second group of the men’s 100-meter semi-final had already stood in front of the starting line on the men’s 100-meter track at the Bird’s Nest Stadium.
The first one, Martial-Mbanchok, France;
Second, Samuel Francis, Cartel;
The third way, Davis Button, the United States;
The fourth road, Kurandi-Martina, Netherlands Antilles;
Fifth Road, Asafaville, Jamaica;
The sixth way, Richard Thompson, Trinidad and Tobago;
Seventh Road, Francis Obique Viru, Portugal;
Eighth Road, Jason Gaby, United States;
The lineup of the second group of men’s 100m semi-finals is also not much worse than the first group.
Although first and second in the men’s 100 meters are in the previous group, the third and fourth Asafaville and Jason Gaby are both in the second group.
In addition to the other outstanding rookie athletes in 2008, and the previous veterans, the lineup of the entire team is still very luxurious.
This is the top stage of the World Series. Almost all athletes who can reach this stage are the best in sprinting in their respective countries and continents.
Among the eight players, with the exception of the first French player whose personal best time was 10 seconds 06, the b of the other seven players all reached the 10 second mark.
In the live media commentary, Mu Jiang had already shifted his attention from the previous Yeqin match to the second semi-finals. Accompanied by the live camera footage, his commentary sounded at the same time:
“The biggest highlight of the second semi-final was the confrontation between Asafaville and Jason Gaby. In the second half of 2006, Jason Gaby started to take part in the men’s 100-meter event and achieved rapid progress in the 100-meter. , Is already a positive challenger for Asafaville. If both of them successfully enter the finals, the level of the men’s 100m finals of this Olympic Games will reach a new height, surpassing any previous competitions.”
At this time, before the men’s 100-meter starting line, at the eighth lane, Jason Gaby’s face was obviously not particularly good, with faint sweat bursting out of his forehead.
“Jason, your injury may not give you any good results in this Olympics. You should think about the long-term. Missing an Olympic game is not all.”
Feeling the dull pain in the leg tendons, Jason Gaby thought of what coach Lance Blauman had said to him before he went on the field.
In yesterday’s preliminaries and semi-finals, his performance was not bad. The preliminaries were 10.22 seconds and the quarter-finals were 10.09 seconds, both of which were the first and second results in the group.
But after two games yesterday, he felt bad today.
His injury started at this year’s Olympic Trials (National Championship). In the Olympic Trials, he ran in the men’s 100m event with wind assisted conditions. He ran a time of 9.68 seconds, creating a human current The best time in the men’s 100 meters.
But in the 200-meter preliminaries of the subsequent trials, he ran into problems.
Probably because of the fact that he ran too hard in the previous 100-meter event, he injured his tendon when he participated in the 200-meter event again before finishing the race.
After that, even if he recovered as much as possible, the tendon injury did not get better. What’s more deadly, the tendon injury severely interfered with his training plan in the first two months of the Olympics. .
At this moment, Jason Gaby even thought of what he had said before joking with the media that he will win four gold medals in the 2008 Olympic Games, men’s 100 meters, men’s 200 meters, men’s 4100 meters relay and men’s 400 meters. But now it seems that the greatest possibility is that he will get nothing.
“Anyway, go all out to run!”
The game was just around the corner, and some of the messy thoughts that flashed in Jason Gaby’s mind did not last long, and he was quickly abandoned by him.
The recovery of his tendons was not particularly good, and the injury caused the training plan to be disrupted. His coach even suggested that he could withdraw from this Olympic Games.
On the Internet in the United States, many people in this Olympics are discussing the injuries and illnesses of the two people in this Olympics. One is Jason Gaby and the other is Liu Yangyu, a Chinese player.
Both are strong contenders for the Olympic gold medal, but unfortunately both suffered major injuries in May and June.
In a competition like the Olympic Games, for any athlete, injury is an extremely frustrating thing.
Although his injury is not completely healed, he can already let go and run!
As long as he stands on the starting line, he Jason Gaby is the one who never retreats.
…
In the second group of the same semi-final, Asafaville breathed slightly at this moment.
As the men’s 100m race went on round after round, in the third round, Asafaville felt that he was somewhat nervous.
He didn’t know where this emotion came from suddenly, but when he raised his head, he felt the eyes of the audience and the flashing spotlight.
The heart seemed to be beating quickly and uncontrollably at this moment.
“Asafaville does not yet have a strong champion heart!”
“He does not have a strong inner strength to support him in the final finals to play the best results!”
“He is a cowardly man. Despite his unparalleled talent, the pressure of the competition will crush his heart first.”
…
Voices seemed to linger in my ears.
Those were all kinds of newspapers, online magazines and other media mocking him after his failure in the 2007 World Championships. Some even claimed that he was injured in the 2005 World Championships and missed the Helsinki World Championships. They also said that his heart was too fragile, although Breaking the world record, but dare not fight against Jax Trin head-on.
In addition, there are senior colleagues, such as Morris Green, and Michael Johnson, who have made public several times in the media and talked about how disappointing his performance was.
Asafaville is not reconciled!
2008 was a very unsatisfactory year for him. He was injured at the beginning of the season, and then again and again. He believed that if the Olympics were to start in 2006, he would definitely be able to face the challenges of any opponent.
In that year, he kept the men’s 100 meters event almost completely won!
“Stay steady, Asafa!”
As if silently saying a word in his heart, Asafaville took a deep breath.
Among the eight players on the field, except for one or two who are slightly raw faces, the other players are basically old faces he is familiar with.
“Don’t think of this as the Olympics, just as a grand prix, an ordinary game, the opponents I have to face are so many people from beginning to end! You have beaten them all!”
“Onyourmarks!”
The familiar sound of pre-match seating sounded, and the noisy sound in the Bird’s Nest Stadium was a little quieter.
“…The players are already in place. Let’s take a look at the wonderful performances of the second group of men’s 100m semifinals, Asafaville and Jason Gaby. This is also the peak duel and contest before the final… “
Mu Jiang’s voice was lowered a lot at the right time, but before the gunfire sounded, he simply commented.
“Set!”
The top eight runners on the starting line went from squatting to keep their bodies still, to a squatting start.
The movements are neat and consistent, giving the countless audiences on-site and in front of the TV a beauty of strength.
Snapped!
A crisp electronic starting gun sounded in the Bird’s Nest Stadium.
In the quiet arena, suddenly it boiled like a frying pan.
The cheering sound of hula la rang from all directions in an instant.
Almost after the gunshots sounded, Asafaville rushed out of the starting line.
His starting reaction is not fast, 0.161 seconds is considered to be the bottom of this group of players, the other players are basically between 0.140-0.150, and Kurandi Martina of the Netherlands Andris is even more. A starting reaction of 0.138 seconds was reached.
But after both feet left the starting block, Asafaville’s speed improved the fastest.
Powerful pedaling, every time the soles of the feet and the ground touch the ground are extremely full, which makes him strong and powerful body, full of strong driving force to run forward.
In the first three or four steps, Asafaville did not necessarily seize the advantage in an instant because of his reaction to the start, but after just ten meters, Asafaville had already jumped to the number one position.
With fast pace and perfect stride, it runs like a chariot galloping forward, full of the beauty of speed and strength.
On the other side, Richard Thompson and Kurandi Martina also went all out and their speed increased rapidly.
Both of them can be regarded as the new generation of sprinters in the past two years, and they are not much different in age from Yechin, Yousse Bot, etc., and they are exactly the peak age of a sprinter.
From the start, the two followed Asafavir closely and kept improving their speed.
Asafaville’s speed is getting faster and faster. Although it seems that his footsteps are not as light as he used to be, his strong strength still puts him in the first position in this group of semi-finals.
In front of the TV, many spectators who were watching the semifinals of the men’s 100 meters second group, heard Mu Jiang’s voice at this moment: “…The start of the race… Asafaville started very well, Jason -Gaby’s start was also good, Asafaville was ahead, Thompson and Martina followed closely behind… Asafaville, Asafaville…”
The performance at this moment made many viewers who had paid attention to the eighth Jason Gaby suddenly discovered that Mu Jiang’s attention seemed to be completely focused on Asafaville.
Cross the line!
On the live TV screen, the silhouettes of eight players flying by quickly disappeared.
The first to cross the finish line is undoubtedly Asafaville in the creator’s yellow sprint jersey. In this group of men’s 100-meter races, he still showed his personal strength in the men’s 100-meter event.
The freeze frame time on the timing board next to the finish line is 9 seconds 91.
The moment Jason Gaby crossed the finish line, his face was frustrated and unwilling. He raised his head and looked at the big screen at the scene, as if he was waiting for the final result.
In this group of semifinals, his performance was very unsatisfactory.
On the one hand, it was caused by the tendon and groin injuries, and on the other hand, he failed to have a systematic and better preparation plan after the injury.
Although he had psychologically expected before the game, he felt okay when he ran the preliminaries and the semifinals, but he did not expect this to happen in the semifinals.
The feeling of looking at opponents who were not as good as yours in the past, completely surpassing yourself, made him feel that this moment is really terrible.
But he doesn’t want to leave the field yet, he wants to wait for the final result to appear.
The men’s 100m semi-finals consist of two groups, and the top four in each group advance to the final.
His performance in this group was not particularly good, but because it was the eighth pass, he didn’t want to leave before the big screen results came out.
Within a few seconds, Jason Gaby looked up and saw the results on the timing card for an instant, and his heart was ashamed.
The first place was Asafaville’s 9.91. In this group of men’s 100m semifinals, Asafaville’s performance was not particularly good, but he still won the group first.
Richard Thompson and Kurandi Martina, who followed Asafaville, finished second and third with 9.93 and 9.94 respectively…
The fourth place…
One of the most critical places for promotion is ——
Davis Button!
4. The third track, Davis Button, scored 10 seconds 03;
5. The eighth track, Jason Gaby, scored 10.05.
At the moment when this set of results came out, Jason Gaby instantly lowered his head, and he felt that the corners of his eyes seemed to be hot and humid.
Not an athlete, not an athlete like him, few people know how much he has prepared for this year’s Olympics.
From facing Jax Trin when he entered the professional track, to only facing Asafaville, Yechin’s sudden emergence last year and the emergence of Youssé Bot this year.
His entire career was not particularly smooth, but he faced one strong opponent after another.
Since the beginning of this year, he has been in a very good state, so good that he has the confidence to challenge Yousei Bot and Yechin.
Just now…
Already an adult of twenty-five and sixteen years old, but at this moment he felt extremely bitter inside him.
After waiting so long and preparing for so long, his men’s 100-meter journey is over.
For a sprinter, after the end of the personal event of this Olympic Games, the possibility of wanting to participate again next time is undoubtedly much smaller.
Four years later, he is almost 30 years old, and whether he can maintain his physical condition at that time is still unclear. There are also various factors such as injuries.
I am really unwilling!
“Jason, your performance is outstanding!”
At the moment Jason Gaby lowered his head, he suddenly felt someone coming by and patted him on the back of his shoulder.
It was Francis Obikviru ~www.mtlnovel.com~ the silver medalist in the men’s 100m at the Athens Olympics, but this semifinal of the men’s 100m also stopped here. His score is 10 seconds 10, and the score is still behind Jason Gaby.
Near the finish line, Asafaville, who won the first place in the group with a score of 9.91 seconds, also did not have the slightest joy on his face, and his expression was extremely solemn.
Especially when he saw Jason Gaby turn his head and leave, a strong feeling of hurting him emerged in his heart.
At this moment, he even thought that maybe he and Jason Gaby were eliminated in the semifinals together, which is also a good choice.
The final two hours later, he felt his emotions began to tense again!
In the face of other opponents, he may have the confidence, but Yechin and Youssef-Bot, both broke his world record, and Asafavir knows their strength, he is actually not much. grasp!
And this Olympics, after last year’s World Championships, he wanted to prove his ability to compete! The novel is born to run the latest chapter 505th chapter zero promotion and exit URL:
