Born to Run

Andrew Howe.

Standing in the Olympic Stadium, Yeqin did not expect that after more than a month, the two would stand on the same arena again.

Although it is only the men's 2oo meter preliminaries, this is the stage of the Olympic Games.

This is the young athlete with the most outstanding physical fitness since Ye Qin stepped onto the field. The sprint, long jump, high jump and other events have all played well. In the track and field that Yeqin knows about, the most famous one is probably in the 1980s and 1990s. American star Carl Lewis.

In the World Youth Championship, Andrew Howe won the championship with a time of 20.28 seconds, while Ye Chin finished second with a time of 20.49 seconds. Ye Chin can feel that the gap between the two in that game is obvious. It was him in that game. The best result created by the individual is also the best result created by Andrew Howe.

There is no lack of the blessing of the opponent's home court advantage. The cheering of the audience and the gathering of the eyes of all Italians is a huge pressure, but for the athletes, as long as they can stabilize their mentality, it can also be transformed into a huge motivation. .

After stepping into the Olympic 2oo-meter starting line, although it was in the morning, the enthusiasm of the audience in the stadium was much higher than at other times.

Yechin was on the first lane. He could see the Greek player Anasta Gucis on the eighth lane on the far right, making a huge noise when he waved to the audience on the sidelines.

At the time of the World Youth Championship in Grosseto, Italy, there was Andrew Howe's home court. The audience cheered and everyone focused. Similarly, the appearance of local Greek athletes in this Olympic Games can also arouse the greatest enthusiasm of the audience in their country.

Especially in this group of preliminaries, the greek man Anasta Gucis received a much more enthusiastic cheer than he saw in Italy. After all, the level of the event is completely different.

Yeqin had heard about one thing before the competition, that is, the men's 2oom champion at the Sydney Olympics in 2000. The Greek national treasure Kentris violated the ban and failed to participate in the medical examination. He was disqualified before the start of the Olympics.

For athletes’ testing of banned drugs, in addition to regular urine and blood tests before and after the game, there will also be random spot checks. Especially before and after some important competitions, the Olympic Committee Athletics Federation will suddenly contact the athlete’s coaches and specify Arrive at the designated place within the specified time for physical examination.

Once the athlete fails to reach the designated place for testing within the specified time, and fails to provide strong evidence to show the reason for the delay, he will immediately face various penalties.

Kenteris' suspension was undoubtedly met with strong dissatisfaction from the Greek media and the audience. From the start of the men's 2oom match, Yu Weili had a point on this matter.

Ye Qinhuan took a look at the stands. The seats were not full. The mood of the surrounding audience felt pretty good. It may be due to the preliminaries, or there may be players from their own countries in the eighth round of the preliminaries, which is relatively a little restrained. .

Standing on the track, Ye Qin adjusted his breathing lightly. Although it was the morning game, Yu Weili simply stretched his muscles just now, and it seemed to be pretty good.

On the big screen at the scene, the list of players for the men's 2oom sixth group preliminaries appeared in everyone's sight.

The first one, Ye Qin, China;

Second, Bernard William, United States;

The third way, Andrew Howe, Italy;

Fourth Road, Madik Osovnikar, Slovenia;

Fifth Road, Omar-Lum, Senegal;

The sixth way, Tel-Hemki, Germany;

The seventh way, Anino-Marcurides, Cyprus;

The eighth way, Anastasia-Gusis, Greece;

Among the players on the field, Ye Qin didn’t know anyone except Andrew Howe. After all, he had only participated in two world-class competitions, not to mention the international athletics. It is the Asian track field, and even the domestic track field is a newcomer.

But there is no doubt that being able to stand on the stage of the Olympic Games, even if it’s just the preliminaries, is currently the world’s top track and field athlete. For Ye Chin, the difficulty of the competition and the level of opponents are definitely no better than any one he participated in. The difficulty of the final of a big game is low.

There are seven preliminaries in the men's 2oo meter preliminaries of the Olympic Games, each with eight players, but only 56 people.

Even if some of them have the strength and fail to meet the competition standards, or because of the limited quotas like the US team, or the impact of injuries, etc., no matter how much this number is, it will not be too much.

What Yeqin didn't know was that when he was standing on the track and field, many people actually noticed him.

Mainly compared to other European and American athletes, his body now looks slender and weaker than others. It is not particularly obvious in the World Youth Championships, but standing on the Olympic stadium, plus Westerners looking at Asia People generally appear young, and Ye Qin still appears very immature in the eyes of many people.

"On　your　marks!"

Before the starting line, the voice of Ling Ling rang.

Ye Qin breathed out two breaths in a row. Before stepping onto the starting line, he glanced sideways at Andrew Howe, who was on the third pass, and then stepped onto the running gear and leaned over and lowered his head.

Being able to go to the Olympic Games and be able to participate in the preliminaries of the two events is unimaginable for many athletes who practice track and field, especially sprinting.

Ye Qin had only occasionally thought of this before, and it was nothing more than "Olympics!" "It would be great if I could go to the competition!", but he really stood in this arena, originally just wanting to participate in the idea, unconsciously There will be more pursuit.

To compete for the medal and win the championship, the words He Jun once said to Ye Qin deeply touched him, but Ye Qin himself knew that he still couldn’t do that now. His time in sports was still short, but this Will become his future goal.

Now, he only has two thoughts. The first one is to run again with Andrew Howe, the champion of the World Youth Championship. He originally thought he would not meet so soon, but since he met again, he still wants to fight the opponent. The other is nothing more than to set the goal for the next round of advancement.

During the period of joining the Olympic team, it is true. Although the national team is particularly nice in name, Ye Chin clearly felt it. The delegation even included the track and field team and subconsciously ignored the men's sprint event.

There are no players who can achieve results. In one round of the tour, the focus and goals are all on the players who have won honors and are hopeful of competing for medals. Although he, Chen Jian, and Yang Yao can participate in the competition, in addition to their own coaches, The attention received is far from enough.

Ye Qin can actually understand this. After several years of training and competition, he has seen that the domestic sprint event is far weaker than the world level. Competitive sports, to fight for gold and silver, it takes a few points to rank, no matter how you always have to achieve results, players can be valued. If you want to be noticed, respect, attention and sought after, you need to show strength to fight for it. .

The thoughts in his mind flashed, and the electronic gun in the hands of the commanders on the field was already raised high.

A moment ago, the noisy Olympic Stadium quietly went quiet. The noon sun hit the field directly, and the shadow of the man leaning over the starting line was very short. The ceiling was cut away from some sunlight, and Ye Chin’s starting position was just blocked. As long as the start of the gun sounded, he would fly from this shadow area to the golden and sunny area ahead.

"Set!"

The athlete slowly stood up from a squatting posture.

Ye Qin lowered his head and looked at the rough surface of the plastic runway. The white starting line was facing beyond his mouth. At this moment, he was completely free of other thoughts. Only the gunshots waiting for the game sounded in his mind.

Concentrate! Breathing seemed to become smooth and light, and it seemed that other voices had been isolated from the outside.

Snapped!

A crisp electron made the gunshot sound.

Ye Qin rushed out at the moment the gunfire sounded.

This Olympic men's 2oo-meter preliminaries are the finals for him. He needs to be the most focused and dedicated, and come up with the best state to fight for a qualifying spot in the semi-finals.

The top four of each preliminary group are directly promoted. The promotion rate of the eight players seems to have reached 5o%. In addition, the top eight players in the rankings have been replaced. It is a normal probability, but this is the Olympic Games. In the arena, the Olympic Games a score is 2o.59 seconds, and the b score is 2o.75. This means that among all the players, the lowest level has also ran into 2o.75 within a year.

Although Ye Qin had a 2o.49 seconds in the World Youth Race, it was his best swing. After twenty days, he quietly practiced for a period of starting training in the national team, but he himself There is no guarantee that you can run this kind of results again.

Athletes’ state is not a machine, it has ups and downs, and is affected by various factors such as venues, spectators, personal pressures, and competitive conditions. Just like his 4oom preliminaries, he tried his best to run, and finally compared to the world youth in performance. The final of the game was still o.o2 seconds slower.

In this group of 2oom preliminaries, Ye Chin will use his best level and go all out, but before he crosses the finish line and scores, he is totally uncertain that he will pass the 2oom final of the World Youth Championship.

But at the moment when the gunfire rang out, Ye Qin felt that his reaction and starting point were good. After twenty days of starting training, although Yu Weili had just taken over his training, he didn’t give too much guidance, but no matter how normal it was. The training is still the preparation for the warm-up before the game, and more or less let Yeqin realize the previous shortcomings.

And focusing on starting reaction and starting addition, he feels that he should have improved, although this improvement may not be seen by outsiders. Only by using electronic equipment to test in sections can he see the progress of ten-seconds and hundred-seconds, but no matter what , There is progress.

After dashing out of the starting line, Ye Qin started to run wildly at his own pace. The stride was relatively narrower than the previous starting method. This is a point that Yu Weili made him pay attention to. His original starting method is mainly to run 4oo. The habit of meters, the stride is large and powerful.

But if you want to lift the speed faster, the stride length is slightly smaller than before, a certain step frequency is strengthened, and the ability to send hips in each step is optimized in detail.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Ye Qin buried his head and started adding. This is the add stage after the start. He is the first one. You don't need to compare the positions of any players, just try to raise the degree.

In the arena, when the gunfire rang out, all the players suddenly galloped out like wild horses. At the same time, the audiences on both sides of the arena suddenly burst into a huge noise.

Most of their eyes are on the eighth player, the Greek athlete Anasta Gusis, he is located closest to the stands, and he is also the most dominant at home and is expected by tens of thousands of spectators. Of players.

Ten meters, twenty meters, thirty meters...

Ye Qin felt that his degree was improving, getting faster and faster, and the noise in his ears was almost completely inaudible. All his energy was focused on how to improve his degree.

The quick swing of his arm and the continuously increasing pace made him feel like someone behind him was pushing forward. At this moment, as if a camera noticed him, he could see that this height is similar to that of most athletes. It's almost the same, but for Asian players who are relatively thin, the muscles of their legs are presented to everyone in advance like cast iron.

In the start-up phase, Ye Qin raised his head almost to the 40-meter position, ascended and gradually stood upright, and began to move forward in a stretched posture.

The top 100-meter athletes can enter the high stage of running on the way in almost 30 meters, but that requires a strong explosive force. Even if Ye Qin has training to strengthen the starting reaction and start-up, it is far from enough.

If you run 100 meters, Yeqin can probably enter the high stage of running midway from 35 meters to 4o meters, and can enter the highest absolute degree on the way at about 7o meters. But this is running 2oo meters. Even if he reacts quickly to the start and the starting degree, he will start in a corner and take into account the distance in the second half. He will only enter the high stage of the midway run after 4o meters.

The stride is large, the pace is fast, and the body is stretched out. The movement of all the players running on the curve at this time has the absolute beauty of a human being.

Fifty meters, sixty meters, seventy meters...

After Ye Qin raised his head, he immediately noticed the position of the other players. He was the first one. Because of the **** of the corner, it was easy for him to observe the two, three, or four passes on the right.

With this observation, Yechin immediately felt the powerful strength of the American player Bernard William, who was the second player next to him. Because of the number of advances, there was a certain distance between him and Bernard William himself, but The two passed through a forty-meter curve. According to the angle of the curve, he didn't say that they were getting closer, but he should at least keep the distance a few times before the start.

But no. Bernard-William got away from him in the 40-meter extra stage after the start. Not only did he drew away from him, but he also drew closer to Andrew Howe on the third lane, constantly shortening the number of forward stretches. The difference.

There are only three places for the Olympic track and field competition in a single A standard. In the highly competitive United States, the National Track and Field Championships and Olympic Trials in June can be called the "Little Olympics" today. Anyone who can qualify for the competition will stand in the Olympic Games. The players of, are undoubtedly exceptionally strong, far more powerful than Yeqin could imagine.

Bernard William, the runner-up of the 2oo1 World Championships, was a top sprinter who could score 10 seconds from 100 meters. The short distance of 40 meters in front made Yeqin feel so powerful that he was suffocating.

In the previous races he participated in, it was not that there were strong players in the first half, but like Bernard William, only a few steps ahead of forty meters, he was about to be pulled away by half a meter or even more sprinters. This is something Yeqin has never encountered before.

Only by standing on a broader platform can you encounter more powerful opponents. This is the highest stage for track and field athletes in the world. Just in the preliminaries, he encountered a powerful opponent who could be called abnormal.

Fortunately, from entering the international arena, from the World Junior Championships to the World Youth Championships, whether 4oo meters or 2oo meters, Ye Qin has slowly tempered his mentality, and there will be no such feelings after being passed by others. , It has the idea that it can no longer catch up.

Game after game, he has seen many outstanding athletes, and he also knows himself step by step, what stage he is good at, what kind of results he can achieve, he already has this to face other outstanding athletes. Athlete's self-confidence.

On the field, the players flew from the corner to the straight in a fan-shaped manner. Ye Qin worked hard to improve his degree in the first pass. After entering the way, the speed has been getting faster and faster, but he has not reached his absolute limit. The fastest stage.

Ye Qin is raising his degree and controlling his center of gravity. He tilts his body to the left. The swing of his right arm is larger than that of his left arm. This is the most basic point of controlling the center of gravity in curve running.

In this kind of race, the difficulty of the first lane in the curve is higher than that of the other lanes. Although the difficulty is not particularly high, it is still there. The curvature of the innermost runners is larger than that of the outer ones. After the degree is lifted, more attention should be paid to the situation that the body cannot appear to be rolling. Once you cross the track, no matter what your score is, you will definitely be disqualified from the competition.

Eighty meters, ninety meters, one hundred meters...

The voice of the audience became more and more intense, especially at the stage when the 100-meter curve was the largest, the eight players lined up front and back, and the difference in position that could not be clearly seen was becoming more and more clear at this moment.

The Greek spectators in the stands were also hysterically cheering for their local players and cheering. Today, when the seeded Kentris is suspended, all their enthusiasm seems to be devoted to another player, Anasta Gusi. S body.

Turn the curve into the straight.

Everyone on the scene clearly saw the form of the game at this moment.

It’s no surprise that the American player Bernard William, who took the lead in the straight ahead, can score 10 seconds in 100 meters. He opened up a few meters away from other players in the first half of the race. The second is... Andrew Howe of the third way.

World Youth Championship men's 2oo meters champion, Andrew Howe is not as fast as Bernard William in the first half, but compared to other players, his first half is amazing enough.

The third place is Slovenia's Madik Osovnikar on the fourth track. This white runner is equally good in the first half, scoring 6.58 seconds in the men's 6o of the indoor track and field championships in 2oo4.

The fourth place is the eighth line of Greek player Anasta Gusis. With the blessing of the home audience, Anasta Gusis also has an excellent swing. He is also going all out in running!

Yeqin, Yeqin fell in fifth place.

From a high-altitude view, it can be seen that, except for Bernard William to be faster than the others, although the other players are slightly behind, it is not that big.

After entering the straight, the Greek audience on the scene almost immediately boiled.

Their country’s own player, Anasta Gucis, was not pulled away by others in the first half. Outsiders may not know it, but as a habit spectator, they know very well about Anasta Gucis. A 4oo-meter athlete has a good performance in the 4x4oo-meter relay. The slowness in the first half is his disadvantage, but as long as there is no big gap in the first half, he will definitely be able to catch up in the second half.

Sure enough, after entering the straight, after a burst of more than 100 meters, many players' degrees inevitably declined, and Anasta Gucis's degrees maintained very well, constantly chasing forward.

But at this moment, the caring person suddenly noticed again. The first one, the red figure on the first one, was the same as Anastasia Gucis, both of them chased up at the same time.

On the entire runway, the first and eighth lanes, the two runners almost went hand in hand in the second half, chasing directly from behind.

There are still 60 meters, 50 meters, 40 meters to the finish line...

Slovenian player Madik Osovnikar in the fourth lane, if he doesn't turn his head, there is no way to see the players on the two sides leaving his position.

Others on the scene can see clearly at this moment. The eighth-track Anastasia Gucis and the first-track Yechin, both passed him, and quickly moved towards the Italian player Andrew Hao in front. challenge.

Andrew Howe ran very hard in this preliminaries. It can be said that the men's 2oo-meter preliminaries, unless they have absolute top strength, can enter at random in 2o seconds, otherwise for most players, they need to be very cautious.

He himself can clearly feel that it is impossible to reproduce the state of God's help in the World Youth Championship finals. That kind of competition, that kind of state, for an athlete, may only have one or two chances in his lifetime.

But even so, at a distance of 170 meters in front, he almost firmly occupied the second position in the group, but at this moment, he felt the bad side around him.

Thirty meters, twenty meters, ten meters...

He felt that his degree was weakening, and beside him, it seemed that someone was the first to catch up. The Asian player, Ye Qin, he also remembered.

He won the championship in the World Youth Championship, others may not pay attention, but the runner-up, he will remember anyway.

And now, he has caught up. And because of his position in the third lane, he also doesn't know at this moment that the eighth lane Greek player Anasta Gucis is also catching up.

There is also the fourth Slovenian player Madik Osovnikar. Although he has been passed by Yechin and Anasta Gucis, this white player has a good rhythm and retention ability. Gradually approached Andrew Howe.

Yeqin and Anastasia Gucis were about 20 meters away from the finish line. Almost a wind passed Andrew Howe, and the two rushed directly towards the finish line.

Yechin couldn't see the eighth Anasta Gucis, his eyes were only Bernard William in front. As the finish line was approaching, Ye Qin could feel the vague position of the players around him, but he did not dare to relax.

This is the most critical stage. Countless coaches and athletes have learned that the closer you get to the finish line, the more you can't relax, but you have to sprint desperately.

In a competition like sprinting, even if Li takes a breather at this time, others may catch up.

Similarly, Anastasia Gucis also couldn't see Yechin in the first lane, but he felt that there were still opponents faster than him. He didn't dare to turn his head and could only look at the finish line ahead.

Cross the line!

Hu Hu Hu-

A silhouette flew across the finish line.

On the on-site electronic timing board, the result of Bernard William, the first in the group, appeared in front of everyone, 2o seconds 29!

He was very strong in the first half and exploded quickly, but he inevitably dropped a little in the second half. Of course, this was the same as Bernard William because it was a preliminary match and there was no strong opponent. In the end, he put a little bit appropriately There are relationships.

This is almost the same as Andrew Howe's victory in the men's 2oom final of the World Youth Championship, but in the Olympics, it is only the first group in a preliminary competition. And the champion of the World Youth Championship, in the preliminaries of this group, was not as eye-catching as in the final of the World Youth Championship.

Soon, the results of the six groups of men's 2oo meters preliminaries of this Olympic Games appeared on the big screen;

1. The second course, Bernard William, United States, score 2o.29;

2. The eighth track, Anasta Gucis, Greece, score 2o.44 seconds;

3. The first course, Ye Qin, China, scored 2o.46 seconds;

4. The third track, Andrew Howe, Italy, score 2o seconds 55;

5. The fourth track, Madik Osovnikar, Slovenia, score 2o.57 seconds;

6. The sixth track, Tel-Hemki, Germany, score 2o.72 seconds;

7. The fifth track, Omar-Loum, Senegal, score 2o seconds 97;

8. The seventh way~www.ltnovel.com~Annino-Marcurides, Cyprus, score 23.94;

...

The moment the results appeared on the big screen at the scene, Ye Qin blinked and stayed for a while.

He didn't expect that he only took the second place in the group. At the last moment, he was still a little bit slower than the Greek player Anasta Gucis, but at this time the second and third places are actually meaningless.

According to the men's 2oom promotion rule, the top four of the group directly advanced, and he has already qualified for the next round of semifinals at this moment!

He is promoted!
