Born to Run - Chapter 546
“Asafa, this game is the first time you have played in Europe this year after paying for your injury. Do you have the confidence to challenge Ye Qin?”
“Youssé Bot said that you are most looking forward to your performance after returning to the game. You also said in the media that you must surpass Jason Gaby and become the strongest third person? This means that you already think you are Are you under Yechin and Yousse Bot?”
“9.61 seconds for the men’s 100m world record, Asafaville, do you think you have a chance to break it?”
Bislet Stadium, Oslo, Norway, July 3, 2009.
Asafaville, who had just finished the warm-up on the warm-up track, was stopped by several media reporters, and all kinds of crackling questions were quickly thrown out.
This is the second time Asafaville has appeared in front of the media after his return from injury this year. Prior to this, he was his home court in Jamaica. Although he was interviewed, the questions asked by the media would not be too sharp. Besides, there is Yosé- Bot topped the front, and the limelight had already given way to the opponent.
In Europe, Asafaville’s media problems are obviously much more acute. European media and reporters are familiar enough with him. Two or three years ago, his performance in various European Golden Leagues and Grand Prix competitions was perfect. The record of the men’s 100m six-stop Golden League victory can be said to be several outstanding in the entire track and field history.
Moreover, Asafaville ran into the 10-second mark many times in a row. So far, he has surpassed Morris Green and became the player who has entered the 10-second mark the most in 100 meters.
However, despite being blocked by the media for a short time, Asafaville did not answer reporters’ questions. Instead, with the help of agent Dole and venue security personnel, he quickly broke away from the entanglement between the media and reporters.
“Asafa, if you just responded seriously, it might be more effective, which will help enhance your positive image.”
The reporters who had left the media, the agent Doler looked at Asafaville’s look not particularly good, and whispered a word beside him.
“I already said it last time.” Asafaville shook his head, “I’m going to face Ye Chin right away. If I say those things before the game and I am defeated by Ye Chin, it will only become a laughing stock.”
“That’s why you are not as popular as Youssé Bot.” Agent Dole spread his hands helplessly.
He had already asked Asafaville to face reporters during the previous championships, and made comments about joining Yechin, Youssef Bot and Jason Gaby. But now, if you want Asafavir to do it again, it’s obviously not possible.
Asafaville’s nature has always been somewhat introverted and low-key. From 2005 to 2007, Asafaville had a head-on relationship with Jax Trinle in order to win the endorsement contract of Amway Nutrilite. During the war of words, whether it was on the court or in private, there was actually no attraction to Asafaville.
When many media reported on Asafaville, in addition to his performance on the field, his heart changes, the simple thing that can be mentioned outside the field is his personal hobby of refitting cars.
However, as an agent, he can give advice on some things, but it is not easy to completely dominate Asafavir, especially some remarks that are contrary to Asafavir’s character.
“It’s never because of what I said.”
Hearing a bit of complaint from the agent Dole, Asafaville’s expression was very calm. He and Yousef Bot had known each other very early. He had already known Yousef Bot when he entered the Jamaican national team in 2004. Up.
At that time, Youssef Boss and Gebi still love to play and make jokes in private, and they are also famous among the players for their jokes in private.
But who sees the media scrambling to report on Youssé Bot?
Don’t the media and the public really know Youssef Bot from last year’s New York Grand Prix, when the opponent broke the world record?
Track and field arena, not other competitive sports, its results are the most intuitive!
There is only one way to win attention, and that is to produce results, produce better results, break world records, and win one championship after another!
…
“This Oslo Golden League men’s 100 meters is also divided into group ab.”
On the other side of Bislet Stadium, Ye Qin, who was preparing to change his clothes and head to the stadium, was listening to Chen Zhongzhou talking about waiting for the game.
“Me and Asafaville are in a team again?” Ye Qin leaned over and **** and slackened, and asked with a few abdomen jumps on the spot.
“Not this time.” Chen Zhongzhou shook his head. “Although your matchup with Asafaville is good-looking, it certainly doesn’t look like you are with Youssef Bot. Generally speaking, the level of the players in Group A will be higher. Many of the contestants are familiar faces.”
“Okay, I know it in my heart.”
Ye Qin nodded, not rushing to do some starting exercises on the track, but still standing on the spot, moving his wrists, ankles, knees, shoulders, waist and other joints, and doing some stretching casually.
These are mixed with some more and more joint movements, which are formulated by several research groups and coaches in the track team, in order to enable athletes to warm up better and fully, extend their bodies, and reduce injuries in the competition. .
After finishing this part, Yeqin will go to the track and make some simple running connections, and the whole warm-up activity is considered complete.
Seeing Ye Qin doing preparatory activities, Chen Zhongzhou did not leave, but followed and asked in a low voice, “How is the biological clock down?”
I arrived in Norway on July 1. Although there have been two or three days, the jet lag is still very important for players, especially sprint athletes.
“It’s okay, I don’t think there is any problem in the game.” Ye Qin stopped his muscle stretching and jumped onto the runway twice. Although his tone was casual, he was full of confidence.
It was the confidence that was built from championship after championship, and the absolute confidence to be able to let go of any powerful opponent.
In this Oslo Golden League, not to mention that it is Asafaville or Youssef Bot. Yechin will not have any doubts about himself.
On the runway, gunshots rang out, and it will only be me who wins!
…
21:25 in the evening.
Fifteen,400 spectator seats in Bislet Stadium were all full.
This has become the norm in this year’s track and field events, especially the games where Yechin and Youssé Bot played, almost every game, whether in Asia or Central America, or Europe, There was a situation where it was hard to get a ticket.
After the Olympics last year, sprinting, a short-lived event, suddenly burst out with unparalleled vitality and became a popular event that swept the whole world.
There are many factors in this. The most important point is that the human limit has been greatly increased. The first yellow race to break the men’s 100-meter world record and win the Olympic champion. The government has established an image and promoted vigorously. The world focuses on this rising young athlete. The IAAF’s vigorous promotion and support. The creation of the image of the two heroes of Yechin Yousseh-Bot, and the establishment of challengers such as Jason Gaby and Asafaville.
All in all, there are many topics that can be discussed in track and field and sprint events.
When Yechin and Youssef-Bot appeared on the court, countless people would be thinking, who will break the world record again, is 9 seconds 61 the human limit?
The same holds two world records, and the same is a rare sprint genius. Who will be the winner?
With so many things to look forward to, it is natural that sprinting has suddenly become more popular from a popular competitive sport.
“Yechin!”
“Yechin!”
“Asafa!”
“Asafa!”
…
In Bislet Stadium, the men’s 100-meter race has not yet started. The athletes have just entered the track, and the atmosphere in the stadium is like boiling water.
On the big screen above the middle of the stadium, the names of this group of men’s 100m runners appeared one by one:
The first one, Sim Williamson, England;
Second, Kurandi-Martina, Netherlands Antilles;
The third track, Saidi Toure, Trinidad and Tobago;
Fourth Road, Asafaville, Jamaica;
The Fifth Way, Ye Qin, China;
The sixth way, Daniel Bailey, Antigua and Barbuda;
The seventh way, Michael Flatt, Jamaica;
Eighth Road, Mark Burns, Trinidad and Tobago;
Because of the division into two groups of ab, there were no nine players in this group of competitions.
Standing on the fifth pass, Ye Qin was actually very calm inside facing the many players present.
Many of these players are opponents he has played against. Competitive sports, in fact, have reached a certain level, in fact, there are not many opponents, only a small part.
Even if newcomers rise and old people retire, the time of this metabolism is also in years, slowly appearing and disappearing.
On the field, no matter what the game, the opponents are actually old faces most of the time.
After a gunshot, the game officially began soon.
Eight players quickly rushed out of the track. For other athletes except Yechin and Asafavir, the biggest goal of participating in the IAAF Golden League is to gain points and improve their rankings.
In the IAAF Golden League and the IAAF Super Grand Prix, the champion of each game can generally get a few points around 20 points, the second place is 16 points, the third place is 14 points, and then according to the ranking. Decrease by 2 points. The top eight can get some points.
For competitions in the ab group, the top eight results of the ab group are ranked. After the eighth place, no points will be added.
In the competition where Yechin and Asafaville participated, most of the players basically had a clearer understanding of the first two. Basically, everyone was fighting for points for the second place.
For another part of relatively low-level players, it is for the purpose of being able to participate in such large-scale events and to improve themselves by competing with top athletes.
Of course, if there is a real chance, the current top three stars in the world will be cut off the horse, that is enough to brag about a lifetime.
After the gunshots of the game, Ye Qin rushed out of the starting line very quickly, but perhaps because he had just arrived in Europe from China, it was a bit slower compared to the few games in June.
In the first 30 meters, Yeqin did not run out of any advantage.
Asafaville, who had high hopes before the game, also played not particularly amazing. The game will return to the game. Asafaville is now in a stage of looking for a state.
In the 30 meters of acceleration from the start, Yechin, Asafaville, Daniel Bailey and Michael Flatt were almost in parallel and ran forward quickly.
Forty meters, fifty meters, sixty meters…
Entering the high-speed section of the running on the way, at this time, after the acceleration of the previous 30 meters, Yeqin and Asafaville gradually ran out of the other runners.
Although the start was not ideal, Ye Qin’s absolute speed still surpassed the players on the field. After entering the halfway 50 meters, he gradually took the lead.
At the same time, Asafaville also seized the opportunity, surpassing several others and ranked second.
Seventy meters, eighty meters, ninety meters…
Ye Qin’s speed is getting faster and faster, and his powerful speed retention ability begins to leak out at this time. As long as the speed is up, it is almost difficult for Ye Qin to be surpassed by other opponents, and the distance between each other will only be further extended.
Asafaville stared at Yeqin’s back, and was also trying his best to catch up.
He has played against Yeqin for many games and has fully understood Yeqin’s technical style. If there is no obvious advantage over Yeqin in the first half, the chance of winning the opponent in the second half is very slim.
Currently on this planet, only Youssef Bot can compete with Yechin in the second half of 100 meters and 200 meters, and even Jason Gaby is even worse.
Cross the line!
On the yellow time card on the spot, the championship result of this group of men’s 100 meters competition appeared.
9 seconds 94!
Wind speed-0.3 m/s.
Although it was headwind, the 9.98 score was not outstanding, but compared with other players in the same group, Ye Qin’s score still won the applause of the audience.
The second Asafaville to cross the finish line was 10.07. After the game, Asafaville’s performance was obviously not good. When crossing the finish line at the end, Asafaville was almost overtaken by Daniel Bailey and Michael Flatt.
“There is no suspense, Ye Qin once again proved his status as the new ruler in the men’s 100 meters event. After the injury, Asafaville failed to pose a threat to him!”
Immediately after the game, in the media area of the audience, a local Norwegian TV station that broadcasts the game, a commentator enthusiastically shouted to the audience in front of the TV, “…we are starting to get more and more. Looking forward to next month’s World Championships, that game, I don’t know what kind of miracle mankind can create!”
On the field, after Yechin stopped on the runway near the finish line, he friendly hugged Asafaville and Daniel Bailey to express his congratulations and thanks.
Later, I accepted a brief interview with a local Norwegian TV station on the sidelines. The content of the interview basically revolved around Yechin’s performance in this game, as well as the outlook for the World Championships, and the feeling of participating in the second game in Oslo. and many more.
After Ye Qin answered quickly one by one, he quickly left the arena and returned to the players’ lounge behind the Bislet Stadium.
“Not satisfied with the result of the game?”
After Chen Zhongzhou saw Ye Qin’s exit, his face was not particularly good, and he was not happy after winning the championship. He seemed to vaguely guessed Ye Qin’s current thinking.
“Today’s state is pretty normal.” Ye Qin nodded. Although the men’s 100m race finally passed the 10-second mark, he could feel it. Although he didn’t perform 100%, it was 100%. There are more than ninety-five per cent. The expectation of the final result is not as good as he thought.
“Then make some adjustments in the next few days!” Chen Zhongzhou nodded and continued, “Next week is the Rome Golden League, when Jason Gaby and Asafaville will both participate. The Madrid Grand Prix and We canceled the Lausanne Super Grand Prix this time.”
After the end of the Oslo Golden League on July 3, the Madrid Grand Prix on July 4, the time difference between the two is one day ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ basically it is unlikely to participate in the competition.
And July 7th will be the Lausanne Super Grand Prix, which is a very well-known event. Asa Faville will participate in the 100-meter race, and Youssé Bot will also participate in the men’s 200-meter race.
However, Yeqin is not prepared to participate in these two games. On the one hand, many of his matches with Youssé Bot have already staggered the time, and he has more or less the feeling that the king does not see the king.
Another is that Yechin’s goal this year is to challenge the IAAF Golden League for a six-stop victory. As the last year of the Golden League’s existence, if this goal is not achieved this time, there will be no more in the future.
In order to prepare for the Golden League, other Grand Prix and Super Grand Prix can be put aside first.
And in the IAAF Golden League in Rome on July 10, Jason Gaby has been confirmed in the men’s 100-meter race list. This is Yechin’s first match against Jason Gaby this year. With Jason Gaby’s performance this year, he must be in very good form if he wants to win against the opponent.
Before the Berlin World Championships, most of the competitions that Yeqin will participate in are basically available on the IAAF official website and the official websites of all competitions.
Among them, probably except that Yousei Bot will not temporarily face the accident with Yechin, other players including Jason Gaby and Asafaville will want to run one or more games with Yechin.
Losing to Ye Qin, Ye Qin is the current world record holder and the current fastest runner. This is what it should be, and many people are well prepared.
And if they have a chance to win Yeqin, from the perspective of establishing a psychological advantage, before the Berlin World Championships, it will be very beneficial for them.
What’s more, the media has been so vocal before, and then it’s time to see the real move!
