Born to Run

Turn into the straight!

In the stands of the stadium, the applause and shouts of the audience suddenly became enthusiastic.

The men's 400m semi-finals entered the climax stage at this time.

Whether it’s the athletes such as Youssé Bot and Asa Favre who made a special trip to watch this game, or the Yechin team’s Randy Hunter, Chen Zhongzhou, Yang Yao, etc., at this time, everyone Undoubtedly, his neck was lengthened without probing, and he stared intently at any change in the arena.

Feng Shuyou, the head coach of the Chinese track and field team and the leader of the Chinese track and field team of the World Championships, is now firmly grasping the railings on the stands with both hands, the blue veins on his arms jumped up, and the whole person looked a little distorted with excitement.

Ye Qin has entered the men's 200-meter final today. It can be said that in the eyes of his head coach, Ye Qin, a young athlete, has accomplished his inherent goal. The next step is to get as good a place as possible in the 200m final tomorrow.

As for the 400-meter project, he did not actually place too much expectation. Although he also knew that Yeqin’s personal strength on the 400-meter project was impressive, after coming to Helsinki, faced with such a complicated situation, he wanted to compete between the two. It is difficult to gain an advantage on this project.

Although he agreed to participate in the men's 400m semi-finals, he still didn't have much expectation in his heart.

why?

Because it's too difficult.

After running a 200-meter semifinal and a 200-meter semi-final today, the athletes basically have almost bottomed out their physical fitness at this point.

Humans are not machines. After a high-intensity outbreak, the body needs to be adjusted and rested to regain its state.

But at this moment, obviously something was beyond his imagination.

At the moment of turning into the straight, he almost wanted to jump up.

"Stay steady, hold on!"

On the field, the first one to rush into the straight is the sixth Canadian player Taylor Christopher. The Canadian 400-meter record holder is extremely capable in this event.

After the first straight and the second corner were stimulated by the pressure brought by Ye Chin's speed, he almost dared not make any other reservations at this time, and he rushed completely.

Behind him is Ye Qin. The two are separated by a pass, but because they have entered the straight, it is obvious that Ye Qin is only slower than the other party by more than one position.

Behind the two are the fifth lane American player Darrod Williamson and the first lane British player Timothy Benjamin.

Having entered the final sprint stage, the two players did not reserve at this time and rushed at high speed.

The promotion rule for the 400m final is that the top two teams in each semi-final group will advance directly, and then the top two scores of the remaining three teams will be added.

At this stage, both of them didn't dare to be careless, and completely used their own speed.

Eighty, seventy, sixty meters from the finish line...

Tyler Christopher clenched his teeth, his face twisted, and he was already at his fullest.

Because he had entered the straight stage, he could feel the pressure that Yeqin put on him by his side, almost beside him, and the two were between them. And the fifth path between the two, Darrod Williamson, was constantly approaching. One, two or three further away, he didn't dare to turn his head to look, he could only play as fast as he could.

Ye Qin's eyes were firmly locked on the finish line ahead. After running for more than 300 meters, at this stage, the accumulation of lactic acid in his body had reached the highest level.

But he is still holding his own speed. Tyler Christopher is very strong next to him. It can be said that he is the strongest opponent he has encountered since he ran 400 meters.

Although many of the 400-meter top runners I met before have excellent personal performance, they are not in their personal state for the best.

Tyler Christopher's state is surprisingly good. Yechin can feel that the opponent actually has some reservations in the first half, and he didn't perform to the fullest extent. Instead, he was forced to this point when he was halfway through.

This is the semi-final, and the next round is the final. Two players of equal strength have encountered each other, and they already need to play at their best level to fight. Because after the two, there are two players with the same strength in their eyes.

In the preliminaries, the two have basically begun to release at this stage. At that time, there were many promotion places, and the overall strength of the players was weaker, but now no one dares to relax.

Fifty meters, forty meters, thirty meters...

Ye Qin's speed has obviously declined at this time, and the new rhythm and running style have made him no longer see the final stage as before and still have enough physical fitness.

In addition, the consequences of today's two men's 200-meter races have also been reflected. The body and muscles have almost reached their limits, and it is difficult to support them.

But the finish line is just ahead, and victory is already in sight.

And Tyler Christopher, who is almost on par with Yechin, is equally exhausted. His fatigue comes from underestimating the semifinals. I thought that potential competitors Yechin and Darrod Williamson would not pose too much threat to him, but I didn't expect that Yechin would take him away in the middle of the journey.

For athletes, sometimes the fatigue and various adverse reactions that follow with the running rhythm can make people extremely tired.

Twenty meters, ten meters...

In the stands, many spectators couldn't help but stand up.

The game was completely divided into two phalanxes, and there was almost a huge gap between the four players in the front and the four players in the back.

And the two players in the front are even going hand in hand.

This is a rare scene in the 400-meter race. After entering the straight, after Yechin caught up with Taylor Christopher, the two almost ran together for fifty or sixty meters, almost always stuck tightly. , Regardless of top and bottom.

The 400-meter race is not like the one-to-two-hundred-meter race. In the second half of the race, any slight difference in speed will cause a gap of a few feet or even a few meters.

It is really surprising that the two have maintained a horizontal line for such a long time like the same two-hundred-meter athlete.

Suddenly, there was a violent shout!

Cross the line!

In the eyes of many spectators in the stands, Yechin and Taylor Christopher crossed the finish line almost at the same time in the end!

After Ye Qin crossed the finish line, he almost felt that his whole bones were about to fall apart, and he couldn't stand still.

After jogging slowly and walking for a few steps, he just sat down on the ground, and then simply lay down.

Shortness of breath, violent ups and downs of chest and abdomen, almost no strength to move in his body.

What was the final result? He didn't want to watch or bother at this moment. He just wanted to lie down and take a breath.

During the game, his body was able to support it with strong willpower, but when he stopped, the almost exhausted feeling made him faintly dark in front of his eyes.

Feng Shuyou, Yu Weili, Randy Hunter, Chen Zhongzhou and others in the stands all turned their eyes from the position of the finish line to the big screen on the scene.

After a short time, the group first, the group second, and the group third, the results appeared in front of everyone one by one.

The Chinese track and field team watching the game almost instantly rose in ecstasy, jumping and jumping one by one, shouting loudly.

Yu Weili touched Cheng Guangwa’s bald head~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and looked at Ye Qin who was lying on the runway. There was almost a voice in his heart who kept yelling: "Ye Qin, you really Very awesome!"

The results of this group of players on the big screen are:

1. The fourth way, Ye Qin, China, reaction 0.167, score 44 seconds 93;

2. The sixth track, Taylor Christopher, Canada, reaction 0.142, score 44.94;

3. The fifth channel, Darrod Williamson, the United States, reaction 0.169, score 45.17;

4. The first line, Timothy Benjamin, England, reaction 0.180, score 45 seconds 25;

5. The eighth road, Allison De Pegro, Dominican Republic, reaction 0.211, score 46.08;

6. The third lane, Gary Tikaya, Congo, reaction 0.158, score 46.14;

7. The seventh track, Abu Bakr Ali, Sudan, reaction 0.157, score 46.67;

8. The second course, Lansford-De Spencer, Jamaica, reaction 0.225, score 47.20;

The people watching the men's 400m race on the sidelines couldn't help but tremble slightly when they saw the results.

Especially the many players who are going to compete in the men's 200 meters with Ye Qin tomorrow, they couldn't help taking a breath when they saw that it was time.

Among them, no one can run into 45 seconds for the time being!

And Ye Qin's 44.93 seconds, not only refreshed his personal best, but also a new national record.

This is still after he ran two men's 200m semi-finals and preliminaries today.

Tomorrow’s 200-meter final, the day after tomorrow’s 400-meter final...

For an instant, it touched the hearts of countless people on the sidelines.
