Born to Run - Chapter 575
City of Gainesville, Florida.
Compared with other cities in Florida, Gainesville has a more pleasant climate in April with less precipitation. The highest temperature during the day is around 26 degrees Celsius and the lowest temperature at night is about 13 degrees Celsius. It can be said that it is in the best time period of the year.
The city of Gainesville has an excellent green area, dense canopy and rich species, including broad-leaved evergreens, conifers and deciduous trees. Since 1982, the city has been recognized as the “American Tree City” by the National Arbor Day Foundation every year.
At the same time, Gainesville is also home to the University of Florida and Santa Fe College. The University of Florida is one of the main drivers of the local finances. It contributes nearly $9 billion to Florida’s economy every year and is responsible for more than 100,000 jobs.
The University of Florida is not only academically competitive in the United States and the world, but also excellent in sports.
In addition to football and basketball, in track and field, the Florida Intercollegiate Sports Team is known as the “Florida Gators”. The Florida Gators have won 35 national team championships, 30 of which are NCAA tournaments. The Florida Gators also won 267 NCAA championships in individual sports events.
The outstanding achievements in sports come from the long-term construction and investment of the University of Florida in sports. In 1930, during the era of the Great Depression, the University of Florida built the Benhill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville. With 22,000 seats, it has been expanded several times to become the largest stadium in Florida, as well as the twelfth largest rugby stadium in the United States and the eighth largest in the world. The number of spectator seats can reach up to 80,000, which has long been operated by the University of Florida Sports Association.
On April 17, 2010, the many auditoriums at the bottom of the Benhill Griffin Stadium were evacuated, revealing the hidden orange track and field. A track and field event is being held in full swing.
Compared with sports games such as rugby, baseball, and basketball, track and field events are not particularly influential in the United States, but the perfect game mechanism and talent selection still attract the attention of many track and field enthusiasts.
Today’s track and field event at Benhill Griffin Stadium was a regional game in Florida, but even so, it still attracted more than 30,000 spectators to this stadium to watch the game.
And among the 30,000 viewers, almost half of them came under one name.
…
“I don’t think this is a good idea, you are different after all!”
In the Benhill Griffin Stadium, Jon Drummond looked at Jason Gaby, who was putting on his spikes and stretching, frowning.
“Jason, you are the best men’s 100m and 200m athletes. You set a national record in the 100m event. I think if you put all your personal focus on the men’s 100m, you will have more Strong competitiveness.”
“Can I win Yousei Bot or Yechin? Or, I have a chance to break the world record?”
Jason Gaby leaned over and pressed his leg, and replied without looking up, “Jon, I am twenty-seven years old, and I hope to improve to achieve better success.”
“But you have to admit it.” Jon Drummond was not impressed by the other party’s words. “100 meters and 200 meters, and 400 meters are different after all. You spend a long time in winter training on 400 meters. If you put it in the 100-meter event, you might be able to improve your performance even further.”
“Jason, you have lost your determination to compete with the best players. Last year’s World Championships made you timid!”
Jon Drummond looked at the young man in front of him solemnly. It has been almost three years since he cooperated with the other party in 2007. He watched the young man’s performance progress by leaps and bounds. The sprinter has become a superb sprinter.
But now, the opponent seemed to have a bit of aura. This twilight qi comes from his age and also from his heart, the two opponents that he has admitted that he can’t beat.
“Okay, Jon!”
Lance Blauman, who was on the side, saw that the two of them were going to be froze. He hurriedly stepped out of it and said, “Jon, let him try. If you don’t try your best, I think He will never be reconciled.”
With that said, Lance Blauman turned his attention to Jason Gaby, who bowed his head and said nothing. He knew that his disciple was not very aggressive, but he had his own. His own opinion, what he has made up his mind to do, will not be influenced or interfered by other people.
“Jason, you have been preparing and trying the men’s 400 meters from the end of last season until now for almost half a year. The two of us are the coaches you hired and will give guidance and help to what you want to try. .But we don’t want you to focus on 400 meters.
There is only one Michael Johnson and only one Yechin in this world! What they can do does not mean that others can do it. “
Lance Blauman paused after saying, “But I still support! Support you to try! Did you face Yechin and Youssef Bot and they lost the motivation to compete? I think that actually you I should be clearer.
Okay, not much else, Jason, get ready to play! “
Jason Gabby nodded heavily, instead of looking at the faces of his two coaches, he took a deep breath and walked towards the entrance to the field for many inspections.
When Jason Gaby’s figure appeared at the Benhill Griffin Stadium, the entire stadium burst into huge cheers and applause.
This is the treatment given to the first man in the American men’s sprinter to watch the game. Even though he has lost in the World Championships and the Olympics, losing to Yechin and Youssé Bot, he is still the best in the United States. Good sprinter.
Repeatedly ran into within 9 seconds 80, and even ran within 9 seconds 70, there is no doubt that it is a superb sprinter.
And with the rise of the two super sprinters Yechin and Youssé Bot, Jason Gaby’s influence as one of the few sprinters who can compete with the two is also extraordinary.
In recent years, the champion of the men’s 100m at the National Outdoor Championships, Jason Gaby has never left others behind. His personal honor may not be as good as the predecessors of Carl Lewis and Morris Green, but his men’s 100m results in the field. I think it surpasses these two people.
Jason Gaby stood in front of the starting line, raised his hands high, and pointed his index finger to the sky. This was his signature movement.
When this action appeared, many people in the audience also made this gesture.
the first!
I am the first!
This is the meaning of this gesture!
However, this track and field competition, as Jason Gaby’s first game of the new season, did not participate in the men’s 100m or 200m event in front of many spectators.
But 400 meters…
Standing at the starting line, Jason Gaby’s heart was ups and downs. He is no stranger to Benhill Griffin Stadium and has been here many times to participate in competitions in college.
After settling down in Florida, he also brought his family to this stadium to watch many rugby games.
However, standing in front of this stadium again, his mind kept reverberating with the words of Jon Drummond and Lance Blauman.
“Do I really dare not compete head-on with Yechin and Youssé Bot?”
“No, I never did!”
“I just want to try the men’s 400m event. Yechin can break the world record in the 400m event and win the Olympic gold medal and the world championship gold medal. I also have the same chance.”
“I don’t believe that I can’t compete with them in the men’s 100 meters and 200 meters, and this will happen in the men’s 400 meters.”
“This is an attempt. I want to try my best to achieve what kind of results can be achieved in the men’s 400 meters. But this never means giving up the men’s 100 meters and 200 meters.”
“Especially for the men’s 100m event, I will continue to challenge them, time and time again, there will definitely be times to win.”
With cheers and shouts from the sidelines, Jason Gaby’s heart surged, and he felt that his blood seemed to be boiling.
There are not many top players from all over the United States in this men’s 400m race, at least Sean Merritt and Jimmy Warner did not appear.
However, the University of Florida itself is a strong track and field team, and here is an area where a large number of blacks gather. There are many outstanding athletes who practice sprinting and track and field.
Even some of the top track and field players in the Florida Gators can get rankings in the World Championships and the Olympics.
However, these players are not important to Jason Gaby, he just needs a game to test whether his training in the men’s 400 meters in winter training is effective.
“Onyourmarks!”
The sound of a command for each seat sounded in the stadium.
Jason Gaby took a light breath, slowly stepped onto the approach, leaned over and lowered his head, quietly waiting for the gunshots of the game.
“SET!”
Snapped!
The gunfire of the game sounded instantly.
Jason Gaby swung his arms abruptly, pedaling **** the approach, and rushing out of the starting line.
Thirty meters, fifty meters, eighty meters…
Faced with this strong start and acceleration of Jason Gebin, many athletes in other passes soon felt tremendous pressure.
For these people, being able to play against Jason Gaby is also an extremely precious game experience, and some athletes who practice 400 meters can achieve between 45 seconds and 46 seconds.
In their hearts, if it were the men’s 100m and 200m, they would definitely not be Jason Gaby’s opponent, but in the 400m event.
Perhaps they still have a chance.
However, as the race progressed to the two hundred meters, everyone realized that it was an illusion.
After 200 meters, Jason Gaby is still very fast. Although it is inevitably slower than the 200 meters ahead of him, it is still unattainable for other players.
The audience was cheering loudly.
They know the name of the number one sprinter in the world, Ye Qin, a name with a rather awkward pronunciation in English. He alone has taken the men’s 100m, 200m and 400m world records.
Although Jason Gaby is inferior to each other in the first two, he is now starting to challenge the 400 meters.
Two hundred and five fans, three hundred meters, three hundred and fifty meters…
Jason Gaby’s forehead was pierced with blue veins and his face was contorted severely, but his body and limbs still maintained a high-speed and smooth running posture, making an impact towards the finish line.
The other players who competed in the same group as him had already been left behind by him.
Now, there is only the finish line in front of him.
Cross the line!
44 seconds 89!
The audience exclaimed almost instantly!
Not all people who came to this stadium to watch the Jason Gaby game were blind track and field, and many people had a lot of knowledge about the game.
The moment the results came out, the eyes of everyone present flashed quickly, and then they came to a conclusion.
Jason Gaby became the second man ever to run 100 meters in 10 seconds, 200 meters in 20 seconds, and 400 meters in 45 seconds.
10 seconds, 20 seconds, and 45 seconds, respectively, correspond to a threshold of these three events, which can cross the past, even if they are among the top athletes.
Only Yeqin was able to do this before. Even Youssef Bot could not achieve this result in the men’s 400 meters, and he became the second.
On the sidelines, Jon Drummond and Lance Blauman both looked a bit complicated after the results appeared.
They all hope that Jason Gaby will focus more of his experience on the men’s 100m and 200m events and continue to seek breakthroughs. In the track and field, even if he is slightly inferior to Yechin and Youssé Bot, as long as there is stability The play may not have no chance of winning.
Jason Gaby watched the results from the finish line. Compared to the 45.57 of last year’s 400m run, the improvement of 44.89 he just ran is a very big improvement.
It’s just… he’s still not satisfied.
Standing in front of the finish line, Jason Gaby gave a rare faint smile on his serious face, and then waved to the audience.
At the exit of the field, his two coaches had already been waiting there.
Jason Gaby stepped forward ~www.mtlnovel.com~ and hugged the two separately. After this game, he silently dispelled the original thoughts in his heart.
One month later.
At the Big City Games in Manchester, England, Jason Gaby broke the Tommy Smith’s 19.50 match record on the 200-meter straight with a time of 19.41.
On July 10, 2010, at the British Gateshead Grand Prix, Jason Gaby defeated Asafaville with a time of 9.93 seconds.
On August 6, 2010, in the Stockholm Diamond League, Jason Gaby defeated Youssé Bot in 9.97 seconds.
A week later, on August 13, with the injuries of both Youssé Bot and Asafaville, he was absent from the London Diamond League. Jason Gaby has only one opponent, Ye Qin.
In the men’s 100 meters, Jason Gaby defeated Yeqin’s 9.91 in 9.78!
This is the first time since Yechin’s rise in the 2007 Osaka World Championships, he lost to other opponents in the head-on men’s 100-meter final, which even Yousse Bot failed to achieve.
After the game, Jason Gaby admitted that Yechin is not in a 100% state, and he looks forward to facing Yechin in excellent form.
In the subsequent Brussels Diamond League, Jason Gaby again won the men’s 100m championship with a time of 9.79 seconds, becoming the first athlete to win the men’s 100m Diamond League trophy.
This is the best year for Jason Gaby. In this year, Jason Gaby defeated Youssef Bot and Yechin after the rise. Although he said modestly, Yechin and You Sey Bot is not in his best form, but no one can deny his performance in the 2010 men’s sprint event.
The only pity is that this year, there are no World Championships and Olympic Games.
