Born to Run - Chapter 562
“Yuse, don’t you go back?”
In the mixed channel area of the Berlin Olympic Stadium, Steve Mullins watched Youssé Bot’s eyes still patrolling the track and field stadium, and did not intend to leave the stadium, and suddenly shouted from behind.
In the men’s 200-meter preliminaries in the morning, the two successfully qualified for promotion. Now they need to return to the station to take a good rest and make some preparations for the 200-meter semi-finals tonight.
“Wait a little longer, I will go with my team!”
Youssé Bot stopped in the mixed channel area and waved to Steve Mullins.
In Steve Mullins’s puzzled eyes, he saw Youssé Bot waiting for an American who had just finished the game and had a dirty braid.
That’s Wallace Spielmont. Steve Mullins is very familiar with the American men’s 200-meter athlete. Although the opponent’s state has not been particularly good in the past two years, he has always been a man in the men’s 200-meter event. Very competitive athlete.
“Hi, brother, I just ran well.”
After watching Wallace Spilmon appear, Youssé Bot gave a light hug to the opponent, smiled and stretched out his fist and touched Spilmon together, and said hello.
“Let’s go, there may not be too many places in the auditorium.”
After Spilmon and Youssei Bot touched their fists, they put a thin coat on their bodies and beckoned to Youssei Bot.
After passing through the mixed channel area of the players, the two quickly found a place in the audience.
Then… the two saw an acquaintance in the stands.
“Jason, I knew you would be here.”
Wallace Spielmont looked at Jason Gaby sitting at the edge of the bottom row of auditoriums, walked a few steps, and sat down beside him.
Next to you, Bol, who looked at Jason Gaby’s gaze, raised his brow slightly, and sat down in the empty seat next to him.
“We have all compared 200 meters, but it seems that we have never ran the 400 meters together.”
After Wallace Spilmon and Youssef Bot sat down, Jason Gaby looked at the track and field in the distance, suddenly turned his head, and spoke to them in a straightforward manner.
In fact, this is mainly for Youssé Bot. When he and Wallace Spielmont were training partners four or five years ago, they had run 400 meters in training together, but with Youssie- Bot met in the arena, but only 100 meters and 200 meters.
“Do you want us to run a 400-meter race together?” Youssé Bot naturally understood that Jason Gaby’s words were directed at him, and asked with his chin slightly raised.
“Why not?” Jason Gaby pointed to the upcoming men’s 400m race in the track and field. “You are the second Michael Johnson.”
Youssé-Bot touched his chin, his face seemed to be thinking, and it took a long time before he nodded, “There will be no World Championships and Olympics tomorrow, maybe we can try.”
For Jason Gaby’s 400m challenge, Youssé Bot did not feel any fear.
Several people have actually tried the 400-meter project this year, and they have all refreshed their personal PB on the 400-meter project. His coach once strongly asked him to practice 400 meters, but he refused because of too much hard work, and instead started the men’s 100 meters.
However, with the full competition between him and Yeqin in the field of field since last year, he has already lost to each other in the 100 meters. If the 200 meters, Yeqin unexpectedly lost last year. Maybe he and Yeqin will be able to see a difference in two days. .
It’s only on the 400 meters that he used to be a bit insensitive to this project, but the situation is still different. On the one hand, as the competition intensifies, he can feel that he and Ye Qin are in the 100-meter and 200-meter projects. There is not necessarily an advantage in the competition, and 400 meters may be a good choice.
On this point, Jason Gaby thought the same way.
Facing two strong men, Youssé Bot and Jason Gaby, it was difficult for him to climb to the top in the one-to-two-hundred-meter project, and he unconsciously aimed at the 400 meters.
This is from the Osaka World Championships in 2007, when everyone watched Yechin’s 400m race from the sidelines, they had some ideas.
At that time, I felt that Yeqin could do it, and they should too.
Not to mention that it will definitely break the world record, but at least it should have the same strong competitiveness. After all, people like Jason Gaby and Youssé Bot have not practiced 400 in the past few years, but they can run around 45 seconds and 50 seconds.
If you are willing to spend more time and fully compete, it may not be impossible.
Moreover, the 400-meter event is different from the men’s 100-meter and 200-meter events. In the 400-meter event, athletes still have strong competitiveness even at the age of 30.
Michael Johnson’s best performance in the 400 meters was created in his 30s.
At the beginning of this year, Youssé-Bot said in the media that he might try the 400-meter project in 2010.
There will be no World Championships or Olympic Games in 2010. This is a year worth trying.
Youssé Bot’s inner resistance to the 400m has actually been touched by Yechin’s amazing competitiveness in the 100m, 200m and 400m projects at the same time.
Athletes are eager to win, a few of them sitting here, deep down in their hearts, actually hope that they can become champions.
What Yeqin can do, why can’t we?
While they were talking, Wallace Spielmont, who had been sitting next to him, finally understood the gap between him, Ussef Bot and Jason Gaby.
He is two years younger than Jason Gaby. The two used to be training partners. He used to beat Jason Gaby in the 200-meter event. He was the NCAA men’s 200-meter champion in 2004 and 2005. In the 2005 World Championships, his results were also better than Jason Gaby.
At that time, in terms of talent, no one would think that he was worse than Jason Gaby. On the contrary, because of the advantages brought by age and grades, they all felt that he might have better results than Jason Gaby in the future.
But since Jason Gaby really entered the professional track in 2005, the opponent seems to have taken off, first in the 200 meters, and then in the 100 meters, and the results have improved by leaps and bounds.
The wider arena and the confrontation with a powerful opponent like Asafaville allowed Jason Gaby to grow up quickly.
As for Youssé Bot, the two met in the same way. Although they are half-hearted in training, Youssé Bot is obviously more competitive than him. His strong dedication to chasing championships is both. What he doesn’t have.
While several people were talking, the men’s 400m preliminaries on the field had already begun.
…
Ye Qin didn’t know what several of his competitors were discussing in the stands at this time, and even if they knew, they would not express any opinions.
Everyone is a top athlete. If you want to take part in a new event, this is normal.
Moreover, the competition in the men’s 400-meter event may not be easier than the 100-meter and 200-meter competition.
Not to mention that Jimmy Warner has almost dominated the men’s 400m event since 2004, and the newly emerging Sean Merritt is equally powerful.
And Sean Merritt also wants to replicate Michael Johnson’s old ways. He has participated in many competitions in the men’s 200m event and played against Youssé Bot this year.
Athletes have reached a certain level, and want to seek breakthroughs, or compete for more honors, their eyes will always pay attention to other items.
The legend of Michael Johnson was created by the men’s 200m and 400m world records. Yechin’s super influence is also formed by the current men’s 100m and 400m world records.
Standing on the indoor warm-up track, Ye Qin and many other players continued to do a simple pre-match stretch.
Because it is not long after finishing the men’s 200 meters, I don’t need to warm up deliberately, just exercise my muscles and bones appropriately to ensure that I won’t get hurt in the race.
Although the men’s 100m race has ended, he still attaches great importance to the men’s 200m and 400m relay, as well as the men’s 4x100m relay.
Especially the men’s 200m and men’s 4x100m relay, one is the regret after the Olympics last year. Today I hope to make up for it.
The other is that if the relay team does not have him, it may not be so easy to enter the finals, let alone getting the rankings.
The various warm-up stretching massages before and after the competition are actually derived from many advanced training concepts from abroad in these years. Before this, domestic athletes did not pay enough attention to this aspect.
Ye Qin initially took these things seriously under Nie Fangping’s guidance. When it comes to the latter, there are more concurrent events, and more attention is paid to this aspect. The distance required for the competition of a world championship is actually not as good as the usual training.
For track events, regardless of long-distance running and sprinting, one day will not run thousands of tens of thousands of meters.
It’s just that the intensity and pressure of the game are completely different. To produce results, you need to protect your state more and more.
As time approached, the men’s 400m preliminaries officially began at 11:05 am.
The men’s 400 meters this year are three shots, preliminaries, semi-finals and finals.
There are fifty-three preliminaries in total, divided into seven preliminaries groups. The top three of each group will directly advance to the semi-finals, and then the top three of the remaining players will be filled. A total of 24 people will participate in the semi-finals.
Yechin is in the fifth group of the preliminaries. The fourth group ahead of him is Sean Merritt, and the sixth group behind him is Jimmy Warner.
As with the previous 100m and 200m, the top athletes’ organizing committee will try to avoid each other in the same group as much as possible when arranging, while running on other athletes’ promotion quotas.
At 11:33, after the first four preliminaries ended, Yeqin’s fifth preliminaries finally appeared on the field.
As soon as he appeared, Yeqin heard the enthusiastic cheers from the audience on both sides.
This is his second appearance this morning. As for Yechin, who had won the men’s 100 meters the night before, almost no one in the entire Olympic Stadium would not know him.
There are several highlights of this year’s World Championships. The first is the men’s 100-meter showdown between Yechin and Yousei Bot and Jason Gaby, and the second is Yechin and Yousei Bot. In the men’s 200-meter showdown, the third is whether Yechin can beat Jimmy Warner and Sean Merritt in the 400-meter event to win the gold medal.
In 2007, Yechin lost to Jimmy Warner and only won the silver medal in the 400m event. In 2008, Yechin won gold and broke the world record. He was already a god, but he faced Jimmy Warner and Sean Merritt. The challenge, the pressure will not be less than that of Usser Bot and Jason Gaby.
It can be said that the highlights of the most important games focused on Yeqin.
As long as Yeqin appears in the track and field, the mood of the audience can now be completely ignited.
“Onyourmarks!”
With the sound of the password for the players to take their seats, the boiling scene gradually became quiet.
In the spectator stands, Youssé Bot, Jason Gaby and Wallace Spielmon who came to watch the men’s 400-meter preliminaries of Yechin’s run were all staring at the starting line.
They are not worried that Ye Qin will not run into the preliminaries, but just after the men’s 200 meters, the next semi-final is still in the evening, and it doesn’t take much time to watch Ye Qin’s performance next to him.
Just now the results of the men’s 200m preliminaries came out. Yeqin was second in the group, and he was also ranked in Jamaica’s Steve Mullins Houman. Everyone can tell that Yeqin has reservations and is reasonable. Carry out physical distribution.
There are a total of eight players in Yeqin’s group. He is relatively familiar with several players. The French player Leslie Geron has won multiple championships in Europe. There are good results in long jumps and so on.
Another is the Swedish national men’s 200m and 400m record holder-John Wiesman, his personal best results in the 200m and 400m reached 20.30 and 44.56 respectively, in many white sprints Among the athletes, he is considered to be the one with quite outstanding results.
After a gunshot, the game officially began.
Yeqin was in the middle of the fifth pass. After the gunshot, Yeqin rushed out of the starting line.
Although he is not very old, he has participated in all kinds of competitions since 2003 and has a lot of experience.
Since the start of the race, it has been running at its inherent rhythm.
He participated more in the men’s 100-meter race this year, while the 200-meter and 400-meter races were relatively few. Fortunately, 200 meters, the speed and endurance requirements are not as high as 400 meters.
Although he had trained before in the national team, this year’s official game still started from this preliminary match.
Outsiders are also very curious about Yechin’s 400-meter performance this year. After all, after breaking the world record last year, Yechin did not appear in the 400-meter arena again.
This preliminary match is obviously an opportunity for observation.
On the first corner into the straight, Ye Qin was in the third position of the group in relative distance. If his current speed in the first half of the journey broke out, basically no one would be able to match it, but he kept pressing the speed. Physical fitness is running.
Soon the straight phase ended, and the 400-meter race entered the second half of the race.
Yeqin still ran without rush or slow, just to ensure that he was probably in the team~www.mtlnovel.com~ This 400m he also ran as a warm-up race to find the feeling of the race.
After entering the second corner, it was Ramon Miller, a Bahamian player who Yechin was not familiar with, suddenly started accelerating on the third.
Ramon Miller’s instantaneous acceleration even made French veteran Leslie Geron start to accelerate along with him.
But Ye Qin stabilized the rhythm.
He can feel that Ramon Miller’s player should be fighting for a semifinal chance.
This player should look good. For the top players, the only thing they can do in the promotion game is to play normally, don’t foul out, and just make sure to qualify.
For many other athletes, each round of promotion in the World Championships is actually very difficult, and they all need to go all out to fight for a place.
Obviously this Ramon Miller is doing such a thing at this time.
According to Yeqin’s judgment, in fact, he should be able to advance to the semi-finals in about 45.50 seconds, but under the leadership of this Ramon Miller player, he had to speed up a little bit in the final 50 meters. , Got the third place in the group.
In the end, the preliminaries of this group came out, as Ye Qin expected.
Ramon Miller of the Bahamas set a career high in 45 seconds and won the group first. French player Leslie Geron finished second in the group with 45 seconds 20. Yeqin finished third in the group in 45.35 seconds and advanced to the semifinals smoothly.
As for the fourth place John Wiesman, he ran 45.83 seconds. Whether he can advance or not, he still needs to wait for the end of all the preliminaries to see the results.
