Born to Run

Chapter 568: Before the 400m final

"Individual men's sprint three world records, Ye Chin achieved unprecedented results!"

"From Helsinki to Berlin, Yechin achieved the men's 200-meter triple crown at the World Championships!"

"The legend is playing, Ye Qin, my speed is endless!"

"The king of omnipotent speed staged a miracle of human speed in Berlin!"

"9 seconds 55, 19 seconds 15, speed has never been limited!"

"Ye Qin, the world's number one flying man deserves his name!"

"The heroes retreat, there is no rival, Ye Qin is crowned the king of the world!"

...

Almost immediately after the end of the men's 200m World Championships, for the first time, from Europe to the Americas, from the sea to the land, numerous media around the world, from entertainment and sports, to social and financial reports, are all centered on a name.

The two world record results of standing on the electronic timing card wearing red flags have almost become the headlines of all newspaper networks.

Each piece of freshly published reports revolves around this young athlete who has won three world records in men's sprinting for the first time in human track and field history.

The final video of the men's 200m at the Berlin World Championships and the video of the previous men's 100m are played back and forth on TV. There are sprints about Yechin, from the earliest World Junior Championships to the following World Youth Championships and World Championships. , The number of hits is rising rapidly every moment.

Countless people who had little interest in track and field before, or did not know Ye Qin, have once again learned about his past through various channels under various reports and propaganda.

Some people were amazed, unbelievable, and peaked from the youthfulness of Yechin on the field, and then seeing him run such amazing results step by step...

But all the growth records are placed in front of everyone's eyes, clear and high. Some reporters' interviews have allowed many people to see the growth of this world's top athlete.

At the same time, after these few days, both Ye Qin's economic team and the Tian Guan Center received snow-like interviews and endorsement invitations at almost the same time.

This situation happened when Yechin won the double championship at the Osaka World Championships in 2007, when Yechin broke the men's 100m and 400m world records in the Olympic Games, and this scene this year surpassed the previous two times.

As Ye Qin's business value continues to rise, he has attracted the favor of more and more top international brands.

His agent Max Eisenbad once dreamed that one day he would be able to push Yechin into the top ten of the world's athletes' income list. Now, all of this is already beckoning him, and the final result is better than he expected. It's going smoothly.

IAAF Chairman Lamini Diak has repeatedly announced in public that the track and field events can once again attract the attention of the world, and Yechin has played a very important role.

Moreover, because of the emergence of Yeqin, it has greatly promoted the development of track and field in Asia, especially in China. It was Yechin's appearance that allowed international track and field sports to quickly escape from the Bark Lab scandal, and focused the world's attention on this young athlete from the East.

It was August 21, the seventh day of the 2009 IAAF World Championships.

When Yeqin broke the men's 200m world record and personally took the men's 100, 200 and 400m world records, a new day began again in the Berlin Chinese track and field team.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, a training field where the track team is based.

Among the many reporters eagerly waiting, Ye Qin and several other relay team athletes quietly appeared on the field.

Ye Qin wore a new national team uniform and rested and adjusted all night. His face had already faded from the excitement of winning the championship and breaking the world record last night. Instead, he devoted his whole body and mind to the morning again. Simple stretching and warm-up exercises.

At 22:00 tonight, Yeqin will face his last single event in the local World Championships-the men's 400m final.

For outside reporters and many track and field fans, it is no longer important whether Ye Chin can win the next game and what kind of results he can run.

But for Yeqin and everyone on the Chinese track and field team, tonight's men's 400-meter final is still the top priority.

So far, the Chinese team in this World Championships has only won one gold medal in the men's 20-kilometer race, a silver medal in the women's 20-kilometer race, and a women's shot put in the men's 100-meter and 200-meter gold medals. bronze medal.

Tonight's men's 400m gold medal is still a very important gold medal for the Chinese national team.

Compared with the 2005 and 2007 Osaka World Championships, the overall level of the Chinese track and field team is still going higher. This benefited from the performance of Ye Qin and Liu Yangyu. In particular, Yeqin has the competitiveness of gold medals in several concurrent projects.

But in the face of the current wave of track and field in China, both the field management center and the audience hope to have even better results.

For Ye Qin, he has already won the men's 100m and 200m gold medals, and he hopes that he can win the last men's 400m gold medal.

Now that he has reached the finals, and he has such an ability, it is naturally impossible to pass this gold medal to others.

After a brief warm-up in the track and field, Yeqin did not stay too much. Although the audience and reporters outside the fence did not directly rush to disturb him, he still chose temporarily when faced with more and more crowds. Leave.

"Jimmy Warner's condition this year is not very good. If you want to win this game, you should still have a great chance!"

After coming out of the track and field, Chen Zhongzhou and Ye Qin talked about the opponents they faced tonight, among which Jimmy Warner was naturally one of the most important competitors.

"It seems that after the Yanjing Olympics started to decline last year, he was a little bit unable to keep up."

Yeqin also paid attention to Jimmy Warner's 400m performance this year. It is said that Jimmy Warner returned to his former coach Clyde Hart after the Yanjing Olympics.

It's just that from the current point of view, the effect of training is not satisfactory.

Compared to Jimmy Warner's dominance performance before 2008, the status of Jimmy Warner in the past two years has shown a downward trend.

Chen Zhongzhou nodded slightly, thought about it, and said: "2007 should be his peak period. On the one hand, it is caused by injuries. On the other hand, after he changes coach, he may not be as good as the original coach. The tacit understanding."

Jimmy Warner's age is not very old. Strictly speaking, this year is only 25 years old, but if you calculate it according to the peak state of track and field athletes, it is not much different.

Some people wake up early, perhaps at the top of the world in their teens or twenties, and then quickly go downhill.

Some people get up late, maybe the first and mid-term performances of their careers are just outstanding, but in the later stage, they may reach the top and become super players.

Of course, there is actually no shortage of world athletes who have risen all the way from the beginning of their debut, even those who are still the top players in their late careers.

For example, Michael Johnson, such as Karl Lewis and so on.

Such super-class athletes who can have one or two events naturally cannot be generalized.

Including Ye Qin now, in fact, everyone is also a little worried about whether Ye Qin's next state will slip down quickly. Yeqin's current achievements are too amazing, but if he really starts to eat his own money, or his mentality is relaxed, it will only take a few years to fall into the altar.

Fortunately, judging from Yeqin's attitude towards the men's 400m final, there should be no such danger.

Chen Zhongzhou also knows that Ye Qin's biggest goal is to become a legendary track and field athlete, making him a figure that cannot be bypassed in world track and field history.

"I still can't care about it. Although Jimmy Warner is not in good shape right now, I can't guarantee that he will explode in tonight's final!"

After listening to Chen Zhongzhou's evaluation of Jimmy Warner, Ye Qin was somewhat clear about the opponent's situation, but he still didn't dare to relax.

When top athletes participate in a game, especially when there is a champion contender, they will basically make a certain effort to understand each other.

Adjust your game tactics according to the opponent's state and momentum.

The sprint seems to be just running sullenly, but in many cases the psychological game between players who have reached a certain level is also a very important link.

"It's possible." Chen Zhongzhou was very satisfied with Ye Qin's attitude. He expected that the enemy would be lenient, and would not completely ignore the strength of his opponent because of his own ability. However, he mentioned another person, "Merritt said this year. The form should be better than Jimmy Warner. In fact, since last year’s Olympic trials, Merritt’s performance was better than Jimmy Warner’s performance. Before the World Championships, Merritt’s declared war on you in the media. Beat you in the game."

"Merritt..."

Ye Qin nodded slightly, "He is really in good shape."

He and Merritt made their debut in the IAAF at about the same time. In the men's 400-meter World Youth Championship in 2004, Merritt created a time of 45.25 seconds to win the championship. At that time, Merritt had an almost overwhelming advantage over Yechin in the 400-meter event.

However, the situation here is actually very simple. Compared with the growth and development of blacks, as well as various training and competition experience, Ye Qin was still a little immature in 2004.

It’s just a pity that although Merritt’s results were outstanding, he did not win the National Trials of the year and missed the Olympics.

Yeqin, however, became the first player in China to reach the competition standards in both the men's 200m and 400m, and was fortunate to participate in the Athens Olympics.

The experience of that Olympic Games, for Yeqin, was an opportunity for him to truly rise in the international track.

Although the men's 400m performance was not very good, he was eliminated in the preliminaries, but he finally reached the final in the men's 200m event.

After training at that Olympic Games, Ye Qin had a clear understanding of the level of top international sprinters, and he also had a goal to surpass.

At that time, Ye Qin was still very vague about these feelings, and was full of regrets in many aspects. But looking back at this moment, if he hadn’t been tempered at this Olympic Games, he would not have been able to be extraordinary when he faced the famous players like Jax Trin and John Capel in the Helsinki World Championships in 2005. Play, and finally achieved his first world championship.

The achievements a person can achieve are closely related to every step he can take.

Later, he thanked Nie Fangping more and more. It was the opponent who pulled him directly from the domestic small game to the international arena. This step was beyond imagination for his exercise.

Otherwise, with his talent, he may still be able to run out, but it will never be so smooth, and it is impossible to achieve such a good state and achieve today's results.

Merritt won the American World Championships this year. Judging from various Grand Prix and Golden League matches, the opponent has always been ranked first in the men's 400 meters.

Ye Qin ran very few men's 400 meters this year, and his ranking in this event is far behind his opponent. But there is no other way. Although he has worked on multiple projects, he can only focus on one or two projects when he participates in the competition.

Otherwise, in the various regional events and challenge events of the IAAF, you have to participate in multiple events to improve your ranking, which is unrealistic in terms of physical fitness.

He can feel that he is participating in the World Championships this time. Although he is better than the previous two World Championships in all aspects such as technical and physical fitness, the fatigue and pressure brought to him have not been reduced at all~www.wuxiaspot.com~ One of the biggest problems is that the challenger’s level is improving. With Youssé Bot and Jason Gaby’s men’s 100m and 200m finals, it can be said that both games were under tremendous pressure and were completely exhausted. Go all out.

"At the next World Championships or Olympic Games, I am afraid I can no longer compete in the men's 400 meters!"

Thinking that there will be two relays after this World Championship, Ye Chin has a clearer understanding of himself in his heart.

This is actually Zhuang Wei's suggestion before. He is young now and his body is good enough, but if he wants to extend his sports life, he still needs to reduce one or two items in the future.

Whether it is training or competition, 400 meters have always had the highest individual physical fitness and requirements in many sprint events. Participating in a 400-meter race is much more expensive than his running two 200-meter races.

Now Ye Qin is not particularly confident about his performance in the men's 400 meters.

With his progress in the 100-meter and 200-meter events, unless he encounters the same state as last year, he feels that he wants to run within 44 seconds, I am afraid it will not be so easy.

However, such opportunities are met but not desired. As we grow older, there are certain choices that must be made naturally.

If this is the case, I should have a better grasp of the men's 400m final tonight.

Ye Qin has won both the men’s 100m and 200m championships in the World Championships and the Olympic Games, while the 400m has only been won once in the Olympic Games last year. Although the World Championships have participated in the third time, they have not yet passed the 400m. The champion of meters.

If it is inevitable to reduce the 400-meter event later, then this year's World Championships may be his best time.
