Born to Run - Chapter 572

“…During yesterday’s relay preliminaries, the US team made a serious handover mistake. At that time, Sean Cloud and Davis Button first ran the road, and then there was a handover mistake. We can. Seeing Jason Gaby on the camera was full of chagrin.

This is no longer the American relay team making such serious mistakes in the competition, the 2004 Athens Olympics, the 2005 Helsinki World Championships, the 2008 Olympics and today’s Berlin time match.

There is no doubt about the strength of the American relay team. We believe that if they can make it to the finals, they can at least compete for a silver medal. Their participation selection mechanism is also conducive to the selection of domestic players, but in the men’s relay event, the performance of the US team has been unsatisfactory in recent years…”

August 23, the last day of the World Championships.

21:20 pm local time in Berlin and 4:20 am Beijing time.

Shenghai Jing’an District.

At this point in time, most of the lights in the community building have been extinguished. Although the number of domestic track and field enthusiasts, supporters of Chinese track and field and Yeqin’s audience is large, it is impossible for everybody who can stay up late to watch the game on a national scale. Every household.

What’s more, the weekend has just passed, today is already Monday, and many people’s congresses have to get up to work in the morning.

Yang Yao glanced at the lights in the community in front of the window, and felt that there were not too many lights, but there were always five or six houses in a building.

Turning around and sitting back on the sofa, the TV has already been tuned to Channel Five. What is shown in the picture is the picture of the men’s 4×100m relay preliminaries last night, explaining that Mu Jiang is commenting on the performance of the US team yesterday.

He picked up a bottle of ice-cola on the table, Guru Guru raised his head and poured it down. The refreshing coolness immediately shocked his whole body, and he let out a comfortable sigh of relief.

Watching games and carbohydrates in the middle of the night was completely unimaginable in his past. But after retiring, he has had such nights many times.

Touching his abdomen casually, the six-pack abs that was once clearly visible was no longer obvious. When he watched the video of the Chinese relay team players being replayed on TV, Yang Yao couldn’t help but shook his head slightly and sighed.

The meat is full!

However, this is his own choice. He is also very clear about his current situation. On the one hand, it is due to his old injuries. On the other hand, he has reached his age and his competitive state is declining.

“…Good audience friends, what will be broadcast for you is the men’s 4×100m relay finals of this World Championships. The players have already appeared…”

As soon as the picture on the TV changed, it was no longer a review of yesterday, but a scene from the Berlin Olympic Stadium.

Yang Yao took a sip of the Coke in his hand, placed it on the coffee table, and pushed his sleepy cousin beside him: “Wake up, the game is about to begin!”

The young man opened his sleepy eyes in a daze, and suddenly heard that the game was about to start, and suddenly sat upright. It seemed that it only took a short moment for the whole person to go from being confused to awake.

Yang Yao watched the young man wake up, and did not pay attention to him anymore. Instead, he folded his hands on his chest and stared at the TV screen intently.

This is the most important game in the national team since he left the men’s 4×100m relay team. Even though he is no longer in the national team, he still looks forward to the performance of his teammates.

On the TV, Mu Jiang’s voice continued to sound, and the picture switched to the many athletes on the track:

“…Let’s take a look at the contestants. The first is the French team. Their first is Ronald Ponnon, the second is Martial Mbanchok, and the third is Eddie Delais. Draw, the fourth is Christophe Lemaitre;

The second is Brazil, the first is Vicente De Lima, the second is Sandro Viana, the third is Bass Leo de Mores, and the fourth is Joe. Carlos Moreira, the first De Lima is a veteran, he is 32 years old this year, but has always been known for his fast starting speed;

The third is the British team. The first one of the British team is Simon Williamson, the second is Tyrone Edgar, the third is Malone Devinish, and Harry Akins-Aliyetti . With their tacit cooperation and stable performance, the British team won the Olympic championship in 2004;

The fourth is the Italian team. The four Italian players are Roberto Donati, Simon Corio, Emmanuel Di Gregorio and Fabio Serruti…”

After the introduction of the first four passes, when it came to the fifth pass, Mu Jiang’s voice suddenly increased by a few points, and he drew a long and loudly shouted: “The fifth way-the Chinese team!! The Chinese team is the first. The stick is Su Bingtian. He became the first Chinese athlete to win the men’s 100 meters championship in the World Youth Championship last year. He is very young and a player with unlimited potential.

The second team of the Chinese team was Zhang Peimeng. After several years of accumulation in competitions, Zhang Peimeng is now the second player in the domestic sprint event. He has excellent results in the men’s 100m and 200m events.

The third stick is Gu Kai, the eye man, who is a top student athlete from Shuimu University with outstanding personal strength. He became another outstanding player after Yang Yao retired from the third Olympics last year. We look forward to his performance.

The fourth stick is Ye Qin! From the 2007 World Championships to last year’s Yanjing Olympics and this year’s World Championships, Yeqin participated in four events for three consecutive years. He is the representative and leader of the Chinese track and field team. In the previous competitions, Yeqin has broken two world records and won three gold medals for the Chinese team. In today’s final, we hope Yeqin can lead the Chinese team to another good result…”

With the sound of Mu Jiang’s commentary, when the live camera moved to Su Bingtian, who was in the first shot of the fifth track, at this moment, many domestic audiences squatting in front of the TV waiting to watch the game, all of them were suddenly shaken.

For most Chinese audiences, this men’s 4×100m relay final is almost the last game they are paying attention to this year’s World Championships.

Many people are completely directed at Ye Qin for this game. As long as they can see Ye Qin appear on the field, no matter what the final result of the game is, they are willing to join in.

Another part of the audience wanted to see if the Chinese men’s 4×100m relay team, after Yang Yao left, faced many powerful opponents, whether it could maintain the level of last year. “

“The sixth track, Trinidad and Tobago. The first shot was Brown, the second shot was Mark Burns, the third shot was Clade, and the fourth shot was Thompson who entered the 100-meter final. The strongest lineup.

The seventh is to set a new world record of 37.10 seconds at the Yenching Olympics, surpassing the predecessors, and surpassing the great 4×100m relay team of the Carl Lewis era. Mullins replaced Carter with Michael Flatt in the second, Youssé Bot in the third, and Asafaville in the fourth. Whether the human limit will be surpassed again, and whether Mullins, who has just joined the relay team, can become a new role to set a world record, we will wait and see.

For the eighth Japanese team, the relay level of the Japanese team has improved very rapidly in recent years. It has already performed this tacit understanding and cooperation of 4×100 meters to the extreme. This time their lineup is relatively new and there are many young sports. . The first is Eguchi Masashi, the second is Tsukahara Naoki, the third is Suetsuki Shingo, and the fourth is Fujimitsu Kenji…

As the Jamaican team did not exclude the strongest lineup in the preliminary rounds and ran relatively conservatively, they only won the second place in the group, so they were seventh in the final. The seventh track does not actually have much impact on the finals, but the only effect is that if they are fast in the process of handover in the corner, the centrifugal force will be very large.

The goal of the Chinese team in this game is still to strive for a medal. Except for Ye Qin’s surprise, the current lineup of the Chinese team still has a certain gap between the other three and the top players. In addition to speed, we want to compete with other players, we need to have very good handover skills. The angle of the transfer baton must be controlled well… Okay, the game will begin soon! “

In the Berlin Olympic Stadium, the audience was full of hustle and bustle at this time, and the real sound continuously rang from the auditorium, swept the entire stadium, and rushed straight into the sky.

Yeqin stood in the fourth bar handover area, and after weighing the steps again, he returned to the relay area.

This 4×100m men’s relay final is his last game in this World Championship. The three most difficult individual events have been successfully won. He hopes that this relay will have a perfect ending.

However, compared to individual competitive events, team events sometimes bring significantly greater pressure and uncertainty.

Moreover, now the third stick is that Gu Kai replaced Yang Yao. Although he and Gu Kai have trained for a long time, the tacit understanding between the two is still a little worse than Yang Yao.

But this is also impossible. There are newcomers to the relay team, like Lu Bin who followed this time, but in the end he didn’t get the chance to play.

The main reason is that the current situation is too severe and the competitors facing are too strong. At this time, players like Gu Kai who have experience in major competitions and are more able to perform stably are able to recruit the team and coaching staff than newcomers.

Of course, it does not mean that newcomers will not have a chance to play. Like this year’s Asian Championships and some other regional competitions, there will be opportunities to play.

As a substitute, Lu Bin actually understands that his appearance is likely to replace the opponent’s position after Gu Kai leaves. But whether he can become a core member of the team depends on his personal performance and competitive status in the next few years.

“Onyourmarks!”

The sound of each seated on the field sounded.

Standing in the relay area of ​​the fourth rod, Ye Qin noticed that a live camera was aimed at him, and immediately put his index finger to his lips, and made a quiet motion towards the audience.

In the whole noisy stadium, many spectators suddenly became quiet.

Before the starting line, Su Bingtian was already paying attention all over, quietly waiting for the gunfire to sound.

This game is the second World Championship final he has participated in and his third personal world-class competition. Compared with the past, both his personal ability and competition experience have been fully exercised in the past two years.

And in terms of mentality, he is almost the best player in the entire relay team except for Ye Qin.

“SET!”

Snapped!

A crisp game gunshot sounded!

The live commentator Mu Jiang shouted out almost instantly: “The game begins! Su Bingtian started very fast, not inferior to other players…”

On the fifth track, Su Bingtian accelerated quickly. His stride rate was very fast. Although the stride length was not as good as that of other players, his fast and powerful stride rate was his powerful weapon on this runway at the starting stage.

With the increase in speed, his entire muscles swell up, and his current sprinting skills are different from before.

The start is fast, but not all of his strength is used in the first half of the journey, but in the rapid acceleration, the body’s speed is continuously increased forward, which avoids his lack of speed and endurance in the second half of the journey. The speed dropped rapidly after fifty or sixty meters.

On the blue track, the silhouettes of eight players flew by.

In the stadium that had just gone quiet, it was completely boiling at this moment.

“One or two sticks handover!!”

Mu Jiang’s commentary sounded in everyone’s ears.

On the field, Su Bingtian had already seen Zhang Peimeng’s figure in the distance. He did not accelerate, but was running with all his strength.

He knows that his current level of ability is slightly inferior to the top players in other countries. The speed of the first club should be slower than the others, but the excellent handover skills will be theirs. Chasing weapons.

“Take it!”

Su Bingtian ran at full speed, and when he was about to approach Zhang Peimeng, he suddenly yelled.

Zhang Peimeng almost didn’t even turn his head. He had been living and training together for several years and had been in a tacit understanding. When he stretched his right hand to the back, Su Bingtian’s transfer baton was firmly in his hand.

At this time, his speed was about to reach the highest, turning into a straight, and starting to sprint forward quickly.

“The Chinese team’s handover is perfect! Trinidad and Tobago and the British team are running at the top. Jamaica and Brazil are slightly behind. The Chinese team is catching up quickly…”

The words of Mu Jiang’s explanation sounded like a machine gun fire.

Among the eight first players, the fastest Brazil team’s Lima and the British team Simon Williamson, but after a short handover of one or two shots, Trinidad and Tobago suddenly caught up. , Ran to the first position.

The second team of Trinidad and Tobago is Mark Burns, whose personal strength is the best among many second team players.

At this time, the second best rankings were Trinidad and Tobago, England, Brazil, Jamaica, China, Japan, Italy and France.

Two or three hits!

Gu Kai, who was in the third position, had already made all the preparations when Zhang Peimeng rushed towards him.

He is well-known in the domestic track field, but he has not achieved outstanding results in the international arena.

The biggest hope has always been to win a World Championship medal as a race athlete, and this time the World Championship may be the best opportunity for his entire career.

The school has talked with him many times, and he will stay in school in the future to become a coach of the sports department, and then be responsible for more training matters.

For himself, from Mizuki Xueba to track and field flying man, and then to a sports talent training person, this step by step, sprinting has always been his most makeup and color.

“Take it!”

Zhang Peimeng has gone all out and is catching up with him at the fastest speed. He now has a score of less than 10 seconds and 20. In this bar, except for Mark Burns of Trinidad and Tobago. Apart from a little gap with him, almost everyone else did not pull him away.

Gu Kai, who has started quickly, also did not hesitate at all. He and Zhang Peimeng had a good understanding. Both of them were athletes under coach Li Qi. When Zhang Peimeng shouted the word to accept, he stretched out his hand. I got the baton.

The transfer baton at this time on the field almost has an adrenaline bursting excitement.

Unlike a simple sprint race, that is the field of absolute speed, and relay races require team cooperation, especially at the moment of handover, which can make almost everyone watching the race feel an inexplicable sense of tension and excitement. The irritation made the whole body tremble and the scalp numb.

When Youssé Bot took the baton, the format of the field was not favorable for him.

Trinidad and Tobago are nearly 0.1 seconds faster than them. The difference between the British team and the Brazilian team and the Jamaican team is basically only 0.01 to 0.03 seconds. (Statistics of results by time period after the game)

The two sticks in front of Jamaica, Steve Mullins and Michael Flatt, did not give Jamaica a speed advantage. This is not because of the strength of the two.

Steve Mullins and Michael Flatt are both within 10 seconds, and they are the best among the top two players.

It’s just that because Steve Mullins joined this year, their strategy before the game is that the front handover must be stable, and the handover must not make mistakes.

This is a lesson learned from the numerous mistakes made by the US team in the transfer of batons in recent years.

After receiving the baton handed to him by Michael Flatt, Youssé Bot was particularly emboldened in his heart.

What he has been worried about is that there was a mistake in the transfer of the baton. Now that the baton has been successfully taken into his hand, he can have no scruples.

Having completed the acceleration from the start, Youssé Bot suddenly exploded in speed at the corner, and almost instantly pulled the other players who followed him away.

The Trinidad and Tobago team is ahead of the Jamaican team by about 0.1 seconds, but in the third stage, the absolute strength of Ussé Bot was abruptly recovered by nearly 0.3 seconds.

The handover of three or four bars was undoubtedly completed by the two teams of Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago, followed by the British team.

After the British team…

The Chinese team and the Japanese team completed the transfer almost at the same time, and even the Japanese team’s three-fourth transfer was a little faster than the Chinese team.

Ye Qin was very concentrated at this time, completely ignoring the situation of the other passes, but after confirming that Gu Kai entered the handover?, he quickly started to accelerate.

Unlike Yang Yao’s previous cooperation, this time Ye Qin’s start acceleration has slightly controlled his speed. This is also something you need to pay attention to when working with different teammates.

“Take it!”

After Gu Kai’s voice sounded in his ears, Ye Qin stretched out his hand and smoothly took the baton from Gu Kai’s hands. In an instant, his eyes looked at the finish line in the distance, and he was completely in the strongest state of competitive competition!

“Three or four batons! Ye Qin got the baton! Ye Qin is chasing, Ye Qin is chasing…”

Almost as soon as Yeqin got the baton, many Chinese audiences at the scene and in front of the TV suddenly stood up.

The form of the Chinese team at this time is even more severe than the 4×100m relay of the Yanjing Olympics last year!

In front of Yechin is Asafaville of Jamaica on the seventh line, Richard Thompson of Trinidad and Tobago on the sixth line, and Harry Atkins Aliyetti of the British team on the third line. .

Harry Akins-Aliyetti was the champion of the men’s 100m and 200m at the 2005 World Youth Championship. He is a good individual. The 100m level is about 10 seconds and 10 seconds. At this time, he is almost one metre ahead of Yechin. distance.

Next to Japan’s fourth club is Kenji Fujimitsu, also a young athlete who emerged in Japan this year. He ran the seventh fastest time in Japan at 10.07 in Hiroshima this year.

At this time, Kenji Fujimi was slightly ahead of Yeqin’s half-length distance, and he was also sprinting towards the finish line at full speed.

Eighty meters, seventy meters…

After Ye Qin ran on the way into the high speed, he passed by Fujimitsu Kenji just a distance of less than ten meters, and chased after the British Aliyetti.

Sixty meters, fifty meters, forty meters…

Asafaville takes the lead!

In the third bat, Youssé Bot regained time from the Trinidad and Tobago team by virtue of his absolute strength, and the Jamaican team was once again in the first position.

As for the last of Asafaville, his personal speed exploded completely after he got the baton.

He has not been particularly ideal in single events, but in relay events, he almost sits firmly in the first place, and has never disappointed any teammates!

After Richard Thompson got the baton, he saw Asafaville rush out quickly. He also rushed at full speed to catch up, but the distance between the two was caught by Asafaville’s Superman. The speed is further pulled apart.

In the eyes of the audience, Ye Qin seemed to be like a flash of lightning, chasing up quickly from behind.

At first, Kenji Fujimitsu who passed the Japanese team ~www.mtlnovel.com~ and then passed the British team’s fourth bar Harry Atkins-Aliyetti at a position about 20 meters from the finish line.

But Asafaville and Richard Thompson in front are getting closer and closer to the finish line!

Cross the line!

“…Sprint! Third! The Chinese team won a bronze medal!”

The live commentator Mu Jiang followed up loudly almost the moment Ye Qin crossed the finish line.

On the live timing card, the results of this group of men’s 4×100m relay champion appeared in front of everyone.

37 seconds 31!

Created by the Jamaican team!

Although the average level of the previous one or two Jamaican teams is similar to that of other teams, but with the amazing performance of the last two of Ussé Bot and Asafaville, they still broke the 1993 World Championships in Stuttgart created by the US team. A match record of 37.40 seconds.
