Born to Run

The home stadium of the Ostrava Athletics Grand Prix is ​​held at the Ostrava City Stadium (Mě). This is a multifunctional stadium. Except for the annual Ostrava Athletics Grand Prix, the main stadium is usually Used for football matches, the entire stadium has more than 15,000 spectator seats.

According to the usual practice, the Ostrava Grand Prix started on June 11th, but only two games were held on this day, that is, the men's and women's hammer throw competitions with high demand for the venue, and the real time when other events began. Still put it on June 12.

On the afternoon of June 12th, in the Ostrava City Stadium, 15,000 on-site spectator seats were basically filled with people. For this city, the annual track and field competition has always been a business card. The city’s love for sports and its atmosphere are much stronger than other cities.

Standing in front of the men's 200-meter finish line, Youssé Bot breathed slightly and quickly and glanced at the timer card. The number of 19:83 on it was very clear.

The applause of the audience and the shutter sound of many reporters rushing over to take pictures were almost connected to the ears.

"Youssé Bot, 19.83 seconds. This is the best result of this year's men's 200 meters. In addition to the men's 100 meters, do you still participate in the men's 200 meters in this year's Olympics?"

"Yose, congratulations on your winning another race. Can you tell me why you didn't participate in the men's 100 meters in this race? Are you afraid of a head-on confrontation with Yeqin?"

"Will you watch Yechin's men's 100m race? Do you think he can break the world record again?"

The influx of reporters hardly stopped. In addition to local reporters in the Czech Republic, many large-scale media reporters in Europe and the United States have appeared.

After the men's 200m race ended, Yousseh Bot was swarmed around, and various problems seemed to be pouring out of machine gun bullets.

Youssé-Bot slightly dialed a few microphones that were closest to him, and took a moment to relax before answering the reporter's questions.

"...I will definitely participate in the 200-meter event at the Olympics. This is my favorite. As for the duel with Yeqin, this is for sure. It will not be in the Olympics now, but we didn't know each other's participation in advance. Project... As for whether Yeqin can break the world record, I think he has such a strength..."

After simply answering a few questions, Youssé Bot did not continue to stay on the field, but quickly left the field with the help of the staff.

The men's 200-meter project is not the last project to be carried out. There are men's and women's projects such as the 400-meter and 110-meter hurdles to continue, and the finale will be the men's 100-meter.

After leaving the stadium, Youssé Bot first returned to the stadium lounge and took a simple shower. After changing his clothes, he followed a member of his team and returned to the auditorium of the City Stadium.

Glenn Mills didn’t have much smile on his face after seeing Youssé Bot’s return. Instead, he said flatly: “You can just keep some more, you have the possibility of creating even better results. , But you don’t need to run as hard as you can in every game, Yosé, if you want to prolong your career as much as possible, you need to learn to protect yourself reasonably during the game."

"Got it, coach." Youssé Bot narrowed his neck and wanted to refute a few words, saying that he had made a lot of reservations, but from his understanding of Glenn Mills, once this topic Unfolding, I am afraid that it will not end without ten minutes.

In fact, in the men's 200-meter race, he consciously made enough reservations. In the last 50 meters, almost all the inertia was completely slowing down, but who made the other players not strong enough.

In fact, after training this year, Youssé Bot could feel that his sprint strength has been improved by leaps and bounds, and the increase in strength has allowed him to be more than capable in the men's 100 meters and 200 meters.

At 19.83 seconds, one of the best results in the men's 200 meters in 2008 is currently one of the best results in the men's 200 meters. It was a bit difficult for Yousse Bot to run out two years ago.

Last year, even though Youssé Bot consciously managed to achieve this result, it would never be as easy as it is now.

In the men’s 200-meter race, Youssé Bot easily won the championship with a score of 19.83. The second place was 20.17. Zimbabwe’s Brian Dasingai, except for the two. , John Capel and Stefan Buckland among the other players are all within 20 seconds and 70 seconds away.

Youssé Bot consciously made a lot of reservations in the men's 200m race in this race. If he let go of the race, he feels that his performance can be improved by at least 0.3-0.4 seconds, but relatively speaking, in the other In front of the players, this is already a very amazing result.

At this moment, Yousse Bot somehow missed the game against top players such as Jason Gaby, Wallace Spilmon and Yechin.

From 2006 to 2007, everyone in the track and field are basically able to run within 20 seconds. In large-scale events, they were able to race each other, entering within 19 seconds 80, 19 seconds 70, such a 200-meter race. It's really exciting.

And now, such a 200-meter race makes Youssei Bot a little unconscious. The second Zimbabwe player Brian Dasingai, Youssei Bot has just known that 20 seconds 17 is for This athlete has already refreshed his personal best.

"This year, Yosef, your results are too fast." Glenn Mills looked at the somewhat indifferent Yousef Bot, and said earnestly again, "You are going all-out now, no matter if it is 100 meters. It's still 200 meters, I don't know what kind of results you can achieve. But, Yosé, you need to recognize one thing. Such extreme bursts are a huge burden on your body. You can set records. , To win honor, but not every game.

You should also consider how to extend your career as much as possible in the future and reduce injuries. You are just starting now, this will be your era. Take a look at Asafa. He has ruled in the men's 100 meters event for three years. In 2006 alone, he ran into the 10-second mark more than a dozen times. But now, he hasn't recovered from injury yet?

Athletes need to be able to stimulate their potential, go all out in a game, and break out of their best state. Similarly, after reaching a certain level, you need to learn to retain, use the least strength to get better results, and even win the championship. "

Seeing Glenn Mills speak seriously, Youssé Bot was a bit silent for a moment, his original disapproval, and at this moment became a little dignified.

His nature is playful, and he doesn't care about these restrictions. Most people tell him that he will not take them to his heart.

Only Glenn Mills, the old coach who made him take off again, has always respected his words.

He knew that he was now entering a new level, and he was moving towards the peak, and he needed to start thinking about longer-term things.

Reasonable allocation of physical fitness, which matches need to go all out, and which matches need to be properly reserved, in order to reduce the physical burden of intense competitions.

Youssef Bot has never thought of these things in the past, but now his coach, Glenn Mills, has begun to think about him.

The peak time of sprinters is very short, many athletes are short-lived, and then disappeared.

Like Youssé Bot, who impressed him the most, the American named Xavier Carter that he met in 2006 ~www.ltnovel.com~The other party had already clamored to defeat him and embarrassed him.

Xavier Carter did it too. In the 2006 Lausanne Super Grand Prix, Xavier Carter shocked the world with a time of 19.63 seconds, becoming the second fastest athlete in the 200-meter event at the time.

In that game Jason Gaby ran 19.70 seconds, he ran 19.88 seconds, and both were defeated by Xavier Carter.

But then in 2007, he disappeared from the track and field world because of injuries. In two years, the international track field has undergone earth-shaking changes.

After the opponent came back this year, the media called it menacing, but the New York Reebok Grand Prix only ran 400 meters and the results were not very good. As for the later Olympics, Youssé Bot doesn't care about Xavier Carter, and he can go through the National Olympic Trials first before coming to him.

Glenn Mills saw that Yousei Bot seemed to have listened a little, his face suddenly smiled, and he pointed to the track and field stadium, "Yuse, your future competition depends on who can maintain a longer-lasting competition."

Youssé Bot looked in the direction pointed by Glenn Mills, where the last men's 100m race of the Ostrava Grand Prix is ​​about to begin.

Standing on the fourth track, a familiar figure is quietly waiting for the start of the game.
