Born to Run - Chapter 521

“…Yechin lay on the ground after crossing the finish line. It can be seen that this 400 meters is very difficult for him! Whether it is a record-breaking in the semi-finals or the 200 meters missed the final, in these few days Yeqin was given great pressure.

In recent years, Yechin’s time spent on the 400-meter event is also far less than one or two hundred meters. For top athletes, it is a difficult option to have both speed and explosive power, or speed and endurance… …But Yeqin did it and created a miracle in the history of human track and field. He became the first athlete in the Olympic Games to win two gold medals in the 100m and 400m men’s event in the same Olympic Games…”

The atmosphere in the Bird’s Nest Stadium was completely boiling. After a small twist in the middle of the 200 meters, people finally saw Ye Qin win the 400 meters.

For many top athletes, the Olympic gold medal is an honour that is more important than the world record, because the record may only be temporary. It will only be remembered by the people at the stage when the record is maintained. If someone later Break it again, and it will gradually become history.

The Olympic champion is a fixed-frame award honor. When a person mentions a certain event of a certain Olympic Games, the name of the athlete will appear in people’s sight.

“Congratulations, Ye Qin!”

On the runway near the finish line, Jimmy Warner looked at Yeqin who was lying on the ground, stepped forward and stretched out his hand to pull him from the ground.

Ye Qin was panting, sweat all over his body seemed to gush out in an instant, and the whole person seemed to be fished out of the water, but Jimmy Warner didn’t care, and he still reached out and gave Ye Qin a gentle hug.

He had a strong expectation for the final champion of the men’s 400m final, but after he really ran to the second half, he had already felt something wrong.

In the final 150 meters, he did not show the latter half of the acceleration that he was good at before, because he ran too fiercely in front of him, and on the contrary appeared weak.

However, in a sense, Yeqin said that he won the championship. Compared with being taken away by Sean Merritt, he was more balanced. On the one hand, Yechin broke the men’s 400m world record yesterday, which proves that The strength of the project, on the other hand, the athlete Sean Merritt does not appreciate, no matter what the original intention of the opponent stepping on the track and field is, he usually performs very arrogantly.

This year, he still lost to Sean Merritt in the National Olympic Trials. If this time the gold medal is won by the opponent again, it is estimated that Merritt will be utterly outspoken and crazy.

“Thank you!”

After Ye Qin and the other party hugged gently, it seemed that after the brief news, he slowly eased off. Feeling the slight tightness in the lungs, and even the feeling of vomiting, he took a few long and deep breaths before beckoning to the audience on the sidelines, indicating and expressing gratitude.

At this time, many viewers on the scene also noticed Yeqin’s performance through the big screen and the TV broadcast screen.

“… Yeqin seems to have run a bit fiercely in this 400-meter group, and it seems that his body has not fully recovered for a while. The 400-meter race and training are very difficult, and the 200-meter champion Yousse Bot At first, the coaches wanted him to choose the 400m event, but Youssé Bot felt that the 400m was too hard and started the 100m…”

Mu Jiang was also very real in the media commentary. He has much more information than the average person. Naturally, he knows that Yechin’s 400 meters run is a bit laborious. Don’t look at the previous semi-final breaking the world record, but the previous one and this one. Even though it was only a day apart, the difference in personal status seemed like a difference between clouds and mud.

Of course, it can not be said that Yechin’s state in this 400m is not good, but compared to the semi-finals, it is slightly worse.

Moreover, the real problem in this 400m final is not Yechin. It’s Jimmy Warner.

The last Olympic champion and the first person in the 400 meters to win the two-time World Championships, after changing his coach this year, his state seems to have declined significantly.

In fact, it is not a decline in state. In the semifinals, Jimmy Warner easily advanced to the final with a time of 44.15. It can be said that the state at the time was no worse than Yechin and Sean Merritt.

It can only be said that it was probably because of the loss to Sean Merritt in the National Trials, or because Yechin broke the 400m world record in front, Jimmy Warner adopted a different running style in the final final. strategy.

In the first half of the race, he ran too fast, so that when he entered the “Jimmy Warner Zone” named after him, there was a sharp drop in speed.

In the final matchup between Yeqin and Sean Merritt on the straight, he was unable to catch up. In the end, although he defeated other players, he won a bronze medal.

But the final result of 44.74 seconds, not to mention that it is almost a second away from the championship and runner-up, and his performance in the semi-finals alone is far behind.

Yeqin stood on the track and took a few deep breaths, and soon other players came up to give him a light embrace and congratulations, but his gaze always inadvertently glanced at Jimmy Warner who was leaving with sunglasses.

Since the birth of Jimmy Warner in 2004, in just two or three years, he has ruled the 400m men’s international athletics event. He was also one of the winners of the 2006 IAAF Golden League Million Award. Except for his injury in the last Shenghai Grand Prix, he almost maintained a complete victory in 2006.

And compared to the 100-meter flyman Asafaville at the same time period, Jimmy Warner far surpassed both in performance and personal honor. The only thing missing is a world record.

Looking at the back of Jimmy Warner leaving, Yeqin suddenly felt the end of the king and the end of the dynasty.

Of course, Jimmy Warner was born in 84, and he is still at the peak of an athlete at his age, but he just doesn’t know if the opponent can create brilliance in the subsequent games.

“Hi Ye, I will win it back next time.”

Just as Yeqin and the other players hugged each other to express congratulations and thanks, Sean Merritt, who won the runner-up on the sidelines, did not come forward to express his blessings.

Just put a cruel word with a sullen face, then turned his head, took the American flag from the staff, and simply wandered around for half a circle before leaving in a hurry.

The perception of Yechin Sean Merritt has always been very complicated. He once won Yechin in the 2004 World Youth Championship. Although he played against each other several times since then, Merritt never thought he was in the 400 meters. The project is worse than Yeqin.

He has defeated Jimmy Warner in the Olympic trials, but he did not expect Yechin to break the world record in the semifinals. In the final competition with the girl just now, he reversed with an unimaginable future. In response to the situation, he took the 400-meter gold medal from him.

Merritt couldn’t accept the thought of the game just now. He is determined to become the first athlete in the 400 meters, but he lost to Yeqin at both the Osaka World Championships in 2007 and the 2008 Olympic Games. He was very reluctant to accept this result, so that he did not want to congratulate him on the surface. Do it.

Yechin didn’t pay much attention to Sean Merritt’s approach. This is the case in track and field. Some athletes are very competitive, but some do not.

After congratulating and thanking the other players, Ye Qin took a few steps on the court and gradually felt that he had begun to recover.

When he just finished this set of 400 meters, the feeling of fatigue and overload made him quite uncomfortable. In the semi-finals, he didn’t think too much, he just focused on the game wholeheartedly, his personal state reached the peak, and he didn’t get too tired after running.

And this time in the final, he was under a lot of pressure from pre-match to the course of the game, and he always paid attention to the reactions of other players. The final sprint cost him a lot of physical energy.

This feeling of exhaustion is not only physical but also psychological.

Fortunately, everything is over now. After walking a few steps slowly, and his face is not as ugly as before, Ye Qin took a five-star red flag from the staff on the sidelines and put it on his body, standing on the timing board to shoot a few groups. The photo, and then walked around the stadium to greet the applause and cheers of the audience, and then left the stadium first.

Tonight’s men’s 400-meter final is the penultimate game. After the 400-meter, there is another touching game-the men’s 110-meter hurdles final.

At this time, the staff on the sidelines have begun to arrange the men’s 110-meter hurdles on the straight.

After Ye Qin got off the field, he also did not leave the field, but sat in the stands on the sidelines, quietly waiting for the men’s 110-meter hurdles game.

The previous three performances of Liu Yangyu were quite surprising and brought strong confidence to many people.

Faced with the challenge of the new generation of men’s 110-meter hurdles world record holder Dai Long Robles, whether Liu Yangyu can win the championship again has always been a hot topic of recent track and field events.

At 21:40 in the evening, eight men’s 110-meter hurdles appeared on the field, and the information of this group of eight players appeared on the big screen at the same time.

The first one, Maurice Wigner, Jamaica;

Second, Richard Phillips, Jamaica;

The third way, Liu Yangyu, China;

The fourth way, David Payne, the United States;

Fifth, Dai Long-Lobos, Cuba;

The sixth way, David Oliver, United States;

The seventh track, Ladgar-Du Couré, France;

Eighth Road, Artur-Norja, Poland;

The lineup of this group of men’s 110-meter hurdles finalists is the most gorgeous in recent years. Among the eight finalists, Liu Yangyu, Dai Long Robles, David Oliver and Radgar Ducure are four of them. They are all scores within 13 seconds.

Among them, Dai Long-Robos broke the world record of 12.88 seconds set by Liu Yangyu in this year’s Ostrava Grand Prix with a time of 12.87 seconds. This is the favorite to win this year.

However, although Dai Long-Robos was favored before the game, Liu Yangyu had a lot of supporters, but people were still very worried that Liu Yangyu would not be able to play all due to the impact of previous injuries in this final. strength.

Just like Jason Gaby, an American player who was optimistic about the men’s 100 meters, despite his amazing performance in the national trials, he was eliminated in the men’s 100 meters semifinals due to injuries and missed the final.

Ye Qin, who was standing in the stands of the stadium, had faded away from his calm side as an athlete at this moment. Like many other spectators, he looked at Liu Yangyu who was sitting in front of the starting line and raised it unconsciously.

Watching the game and playing on the court is a completely different feeling. One is that I can only act as a bystander and cannot influence the game, and the other is that all the pressures and problems need to be solved and taken up by myself.

For Ye Qin, when an athlete that he particularly cares about appears in a competition, the idea that often pops up in his mind is that he can’t wait to replace him.

He has always paid high respect to Liu Yangyu and Ye Qin. After participating in the Olympics for the first time, Liu Yangyu’s gold medal in the men’s 110-meter hurdles gave him great encouragement.

This is the eye-catching first gold medal of a Chinese track and field man, and it is a short-distance straight track event. It is precisely because of Liu Yangyu’s example that Ye Qin believes that he can run for a long time in the sprint event.

This feeling is the same as breaking the ten-second mark. Before Ye Qin did not break the men’s ten-second mark, many people felt that Chinese athletes might not be able to do it, but as long as one person can do it, the latecomers will set their goals. At that time, it is naturally impossible to think that if you run for 10 seconds 20 or 10 seconds 30, you will feel that you can dominate the country.

In the track and field stadium, the game will start soon!

After a gunshot, the top eight finalists on the starting line quickly started and rushed towards the front fence.

Liu Yangyu’s start is still very fast, but in comparison, after the start, Liu Yangyu has changed his technique, but his explosive power is still weaker than that of Dai Long-Robos and David Oliver.

But after entering the hurdles to run, Liu Yangyu’s speed gradually increased. In terms of the current men’s 110-meter hurdles project, Liu Yangyu is well-deserved in the world in terms of hurdle technology.

The audience was equally excited after the gunfire rang out in the game. The connection time of the several games tonight is very tight, making everyone’s mood always high.

It seems that in order to digest the fact that Yeqin won the men’s 400-meter championship, the men’s 110-meter hurdles final has begun again.

The first column, the second column, the third column…

Almost all the actions of the players on the field fell into the eyes of everyone. Soon after the third column, the entire field of the game became a duel between Liu Yangyu and Dai Long-Robos.

Other players can still keep up with two people in the first three hurdles, but after the three hurdles, they have been gradually pulled apart by the two.

In a blink of an eye, UU reading www. The ten columns of uukanshu.com are over.

Liu Yangyu and Dai Long-Robos launched a sprint towards the final finish line!

12 seconds 93!

On the live timing card, the results of the champion of this group of men’s 110-meter hurdles appeared.

After watching the results, Ye Qin quickly raised his head and looked at the big screen. At the last moment, Liu Yangyu and Dai Long-Robos crossed the finish line quickly. He didn’t see too clearly who was the first.

Not long after, Liu Yangyu’s results appeared on the big screen.

12 seconds 95! Liu Yangyu won the runner-up! The championship was won by Dai Long-Robos!

After this result appeared, there seemed to be a sigh of regret, but then the audience applauded again.

Everyone knew about Liu Yangyu’s injuries before the game. He was able to fight Dailong Robles under such circumstances. Although he failed to win the championship, Liu Yangyu’s performance was beyond criticism.
