Born to Run

Chapter 194: What others can do, we certainly can

At 9:10 pm on August 23, the atmosphere of the Olympic Stadium reached its climax. The sound of cheering and cheering almost overturned the roof, centering on the stadium, spreading several kilometers away.

In the anticipation of tens of thousands of spectators and countless spectators sitting in front of the TV, the men's 4oom finals were in full swing on the Olympic Stadium runway after the gunshots of the game.

Amidst the noise of the audience and countless cheers and shouts, Ye Qin sat in the audience watching eight galloping and thick men's 4oom finalists, clenching his fists with both hands unconsciously.

When the eight finalists just appeared in front of the starting line of the final, Ye Qin's eyes fell on the fourth white youth with sunglasses.

Putting aside the color differences of the sprint suits of various countries, among the black-skinned finalists, this young man's white skin is particularly striking and eye-catching.

After the gunshots of the game, Ye Chin changed from sitting unconsciously to standing. This white youth's sprinting skills are so distinctive. The swing of his arms is large, and he can increase his pace by swinging his arms. , And then ensure the pace, the degree is very amazing.

Ye Qin can see clearly that the opponent's first half is very fast, but in comparison, it is not particularly amazing and prominent. It is just that from entering the second corner, the distance of 250 meters, that degree of instant It made him tremble a little.

Thanks to the centrifugal force of the corner, the opponent suddenly started to increase, probably from the fourth or so, and came up all at once, especially when he was about to enter the final straight phase. The white player went from second to third. Position, and then relying on the ability of the second half, the speed was fast, and when there was about forty or fifty meters away from the finish line, he ran to the first place, completely ahead of the others.

Even at this moment, Ye Qin felt that if the opponent had a comparable opponent to stimulate it, it was likely that the white player would be able to pass faster.

Finally, cross the line!

I won the first place without any suspense.

Ye Qin noticed the opponent's score when he crossed the finish line, 44 seconds oo!

A result he couldn't even think of at this time.

The cheers and applause of the audience suddenly exploded in the stands of the stadium like the sound of firecrackers at the moment when the opponent crossed the finish line. The reporters in the media area at the edge of the stands almost immediately after the contestants crossed the finish line, they flipped over the various advertising baffles and rushed directly into the arena. The cameras were all pointed at the man wearing sunglasses. White youth.

"Yechin...Yechin...?"

Yu Weili also stood up, applauded gently for the performance of the white young man, and suddenly noticed that there seemed to be blood on his face around him, and Ye Qin, who became extremely excited, stretched out his hand and patted him gently. shoulder.

Ye Qin let out a long sigh, calming down the excitement in his heart, and his tight muscles gradually relaxed.

He was out of the 4oom preliminary round in the first round, and was not able to compete with the white youth, but he saw that the American player Derek and Jamaican Brandon who ran first in the preliminary round, they only took In the third and fifth places, the white youths who won the championship were far away.

If you just look at the o.1 second to 1 second difference in the results, many people may not be able to appreciate it, but Yechin, Derek and Brandon ran through the preliminaries and clearly knew that they easily won themselves in the preliminaries. Did not try my best at all.

In this final, when the two were fully committed, there was a huge gap between them and the white player.

After almost a few minutes after the men's 4oom finals, the results of this group of finals were played on the big screen. The top three were all American players.

In the first place, the fourth is American player Jimmy Warner with a score of 44 seconds oo. Behind him are two other American players Harris and Derek, who have scores of 44.16 and 44.42 respectively.

"It's no wonder that Raun Merritt, the champion of the World Youth Championship, couldn't even qualify for the Olympic Games." Ye Qin said with emotion as he looked at the results on the big screen and compared his own strength.

"This is the second time after the 1988 Seoul Olympics that the US team completely swept the men's top three of 4oo meters." Yu Weili looked at the results on the live screen, nodded, and then glanced at Ye Qin, his face He smiled, "Why, are you discouraged? Or are you scared by them?"

"No." Ye Qin shook his head, "I just think they are great, I will continue to work hard."

"That's right. Yeqin, you are still young, and the road is still long." Yu Weili looked at the white youth near the finish line, dressed in the Stars and Stripes, and was sought after by the media and audiences, and then said, "Champion Jimmy Warner, He is a white man from Texas. He is 20 years old this year. In addition to the Olympic finals, he has ran in less than 45 seconds for the eighth time this year. It should be said that he is the best men's 4oo meter contestant of the season. I'm not surprised to win the championship, even I am looking forward to him winning the championship."

"Huh?" Ye Qin glanced at Wei Li, slightly different. "Want Jimmy Warner to win the championship?"

Yu Weili smiled and nodded. "Yesterday, a European report said that after Michael Johnson won the last men's 4oom gold medal at the Sydney Olympics and retired, the men's 4oom event has been waiting for a new king to come. Looking at this king at the moment, it should be Jimmy Warner."

Before the game, Jimmy Warner was optimistic and hyped by European and American media because he was a white player. Look at the talented finals. The other seven people are all blacks. Only Jimmy Warner, a white man, won the 4oom championship. For white athletes, this is a historic moment in the sprint event. "

After listening to this sentence, Ye Qin immediately understood what Yu Weili meant.

Looking at the stadium, three American players wearing stars and stripes were taking photos from the media. Jimmy Warner, a white player, stood in the center with a champion posture.

Yu Weili hopes that Jimmy Warner can win the championship, hoping to break the black monopoly on short-distance events. The implication is that if white players can do it, then why can't we Asians and yellow races? !

Starting from the time when American Jesse Owens broke the world record and won 4 gold medals in the 1936 Berlin Olympics in Germany in the last century, black athletes have become the mainstream of track and field, especially in sprint events.

However, during this period, there have been many strong sprinters, whether they are white or yellow racers.

For example, Chen Jiaquan, a domestic sprinter, broke the Chinese track and field record of 1oo meters six times. In 1965, he evened the world record of 100 meters with a record of 10 seconds.

The racial advantage of black athletes is naturally there~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The strong dominance of West African blacks in short-distance events and the dominance of East African blacks in long-distance events cannot be ignored.

But as long as it is on the field, there is never absolute.

Ye Qin took a deep breath and glanced again at Jimmy Warner, who was at this time in the arena, with blood all over his body.

Witnessed the birth of a 4oo meter king, but even more ignited his desire to pursue the championship.

The conversation between the two men was still born after the men's 4oo meter final on August 23, and four days later, after the men's 11o meter hurdles final on August 27, Yeqin once again firmly believed in this idea.

What other people can do, so can we.
