Born to Run

At 19:00 on July 10, the Olympic Stadium in Rome, Italy.

As one of the more famous stations in the IAAF Golden League, the Golden Track and Field Competition in Rome has always attracted a high degree of attention.

On the indoor warm-up track, Jason Gaby, who had already finished the warm-up, looked at the athletes walking back and forth around him, and his expression was a little dazed for a while.

"Jason, stay calm, waiting for the start is only the preliminaries!"

Lance Blauman looked at Jason Gaby's expression next to him, as if he could see his heart at a glance, and handed Jason Gaby a bottle of mineral water next to him, whispering.

"I watched this game. In addition to Yechin and Asafaville, the Daniel Bailey of Antigua and Barbuda seems to be in good shape lately."

Jason Gaby glanced left and right in the track and field, and saw one of the athletes who was quite handsome in appearance above the black, and turned to communicate in a low voice with the coach beside him.

"I ran into the 10-second mark in May and June this year. The momentum is good. It's a bit like Derek Atkins in the Bahamas in 2007." Jon De, who is another starting coach of Jason Gaby, is next to him. Lamond nodded and said.

The Bahamas player Derek Atkins had a very strong upward momentum in 2007. Although there is still a certain distance from Jason Gaby, he has ran within 10 seconds in many major events, many grand prix games. The rankings are only under Jason Gaby, Asafaville and Yechin.

At that time, many people in the international track field began to pay attention to the Bahamian sprinter, but unfortunately the other side's good condition lasted only one season, and it began to decline after 2008.

At that time in 2007, Lance Blauman had not been released from prison, but as a track and field coach, he basically paid attention to the athletes participating in the competition, and then said: "I heard that he was from Yousse Bot before. It’s not surprising that you have this level and ability as a training partner. However, he is not the focus of Jason you need to pay attention to. Your goal is still Yechin and Asafavir. You don’t need to meet them both in the preliminaries. This It's a good thing. This kind of schedule can put more energy into the finals later."

"Yeah." Jason Gaby nodded solemnly.

Just glanced over the warm-up track again, and several familiar figures came into view. Due to the large number of players in the Golden League in Rome this year, it did not adopt the AB group competition system like other stations, but the preliminaries and finals competition system. .

Jason Gaby is in the first group of the preliminaries. The two opponents he most need to face in this game, Yechin and Asafaville are both in the second group.

"Okay, get ready to play!" Lance Blauman could see what Jason Gaby was paying attention to, and reached out and patted the opponent's shoulder gently.

He knows the pressure Jason Gaby is under, but he also believes that the most outstanding disciple in his entire coaching career will definitely come up with results that will surprise the world.

On the other side, on the indoor warm-up track, Ye Qin was leaning over and squatting on the running aid, meditating on the familiar starting rhythm in his heart, and then quickly rushed out of the running aid, ran more than 20 meters in one breath, and made the second trip. Starting practice.

Next to Ye Qin, the same figure ran with him quickly, and both of them basically stopped at the same position.

"Asafa, aren't you going to play against me during this warm-up time?"

Looking at Asafavir next to him, Yeqin smiled and greeted him. The friendship between everyone is not very deep, but they started to know each other because of the relationship between Youssef and Bot in 2005, and they have met in various big and small events later, and they are relatively familiar.

Asafaville showed a faint smile, stretched out his hand and shook Yeqin's hand, and said with a smile: "I will beat you when I warm up first, so that I can be more motivated when I wait for the game."

"Hahaha, are you sure there is no problem, man?" Ye Qin smiled back and said, "How are you recovering recently?"

"You know it when you play." Asafaville smiled, "I will definitely not let you down. I also want to beat you and Youssé Bot at this year's World Championships in Berlin."

"I believe you can." Ye Qin nodded, then added with a smile, "Well, it must be okay to win against Youssé Bot."

"Hahaha..." Asafaville followed with a hearty smile.

After the injury was paid at the end of June, in the first few men's 100-meter races, Asafaville's state was not particularly good, and he failed to score 10 seconds in two or three consecutive games.

However, in the past few days, he feels that after passing a few games, his personal state is picking up. Not to mention that he will definitely win Yechin, but at least it should cause some trouble to the opponent.

Everyone is old acquaintance, competing in track and field, occasionally visiting opponents in a very important position in private, but you can still say a few words easily in person.

...

At 19:30 in the evening, in the Olympic Stadium in Rome, the crowd was raging, and there were more than 50,000 spectators waiting in the spectator stands of more than 70,000 people.

Italy’s domestic track and field atmosphere has always been quite good. It has hosted many track and field events. In addition to the annual Golden League, the 2004 World Youth Championship and this year’s World Junior Championships were both hosted as the organizers, attracting many people to watch. .

For tonight's men's 100m race, it has become the focus of the organizers' propaganda before the race, and it is also the most anticipated event for the audience.

When the nine contestants of the first group of men's 100-meter preliminaries entered the stadium and stood at the starting line, almost the audience clapped enthusiastically.

Jason Gaby was standing in the ninth position, listening to the cheers of the audience in his ears, he only felt that his blood seemed to be boiling.

Since last year's U.S. Championships injury, this is the first time he has come to Europe to participate in the competition again after a lapse of more than a year. Because he is now ranked in the men's 100 meters, this game is now, and his pass is arranged to be the most marginal.

The ninth way.

Since Jason Gaby entered the track and field, he has rarely had such a fringe pass, but he didn't particularly care about it.

It's just the preliminaries.

After the preliminaries are over, he believes that in the finals, he will soon return to the middle pass.

In this group of his competitions, in addition to two Italian sprinters, there are four American players including him, himself, Travis Padgett, Mark Jacks, Michael Rogers, and also A few worthy of his attention are Daniel Bailey, who was mentioned by the coach before the game, as well as Michael Flatt of Jamaica and Kurandi Martina of Netherlands Andris.

A few American players don't mention it. The other strong players are old opponents he has played against. Jason Gaby knows their strength.

After a gunshot, the game started soon!

Jason Gaby's reaction to breaking out of the starting line was not particularly good, but after quickly entering the acceleration part of the midway run, Jason Gaby gradually began to take the lead.

Fifty meters, sixty meters, seventy meters... Jason Gaby is getting faster and faster!

The audience only saw the outermost pass of the ninth pass, a figure that was as fast as lightning and quickly surpassed the other players.

"Ready to cross the line!"

Seeing that Jason Gaby barely tried too hard to become the first in the group, at this moment, a figure suddenly followed, seeming to grasp the steps before Jason Gaby crossed the finish line to relax. Followed up from behind.

9 seconds 96!

When the audience saw this result, they all gave warm applause to the players on the finish line. If the preliminaries can reach the 10-second mark, then the final will definitely be better than this result.

However, when the preliminaries of this group appeared on the big screen, Jason Gaby frowned slightly, and his eyes patrolled among the other players on the finish line.

The first and second results of the group are 9 seconds 96, the difference lies in the thousands of seconds. It’s just that it’s not him that is the first one, but Daniel Pele, the Antigua and Barbuda player he noticed before the game, who performed very well.

Since he was the most marginal ninth lane, he didn't pay much attention to the position of the players on the other lanes, so he was overtaken after a few steps at the end.

Fortunately, even the second result of the group can also advance to the finals, Jason Gaby just reminded himself again in his heart.

After completing the first set of preliminaries, Rome's Olympic Stadium soon ushered in the second round of the men's 100m preliminaries.

Compared with the first game of the preliminaries, the applause of the audience in the second game was obviously much enthusiastic.

Although Jason Gaby was once the top player in the men's 100 meters, he was two years ago. The audience on the scene naturally looked forward to the match between Yechin and Asafaville in the same preliminaries group.

In particular, Ye Qin, as the first person in the current men's 100-meter event, his face can be easily distinguished in the eyes of many blind-faced European and American audiences.

This group of preliminaries also consisted of nine players, two from Italy, two from Trinidad and Tobago, three from Jamaica and one from Japan.

Among the several players, in addition to Asafaville, there were also two that caught Yechin’s attention. One was the Japanese player Shinji Takahira who rarely met in the Golden League, and the other was a strong Jamaican youth. Athlete, Yuhan Blake.

After three years of growth, this Jamaican teenager who had played against the 2006 Yenching World Youth Championship has fully begun to grow up and has begun to enter the stage of the high-level Golden League.

But Yechin didn't take Yuhan Blake to his heart, and now there are only so few people who can really make him vigilant.

After the gunfire rang out, Ye Qin took the lead and quickly rushed out of the starting line.

Ye Qin didn't go all out to run the preliminaries. After so many competitions, athletes at his level can fully grasp the current overall level of the men's 100 meters.

In the end, Yechin easily won the first place in the group with a score of 9.97 seconds, followed by Asafaville with a score of 9.98 seconds.

Seeing the final results, Yeqin can clearly feel that Asafaville's pre-match state is recovering, it's not just talking.

In the previous airport game, Asafaville failed to reach the 10-second mark with all his strength. In this contest with him, he ran for 10 seconds in the preliminary round. It is conceivable that the opponent's state is definitely not bad.

The time interval between this and Asafaville's previous participation in the Oslo Golden League and Lausanne Super Grand Prix is ​​just a few days.

"Get your energy up in the finals!"

After coming off the field, Yechin also learned the results of the previous preliminaries. Jason Gaby and Daniel Bailey both ran 9.96 seconds in the preliminaries, which is a signal.

The final may be more difficult than he thought!

...

Two hours later.

21:30 in the evening.

In the Olympic Stadium in Rome, the atmosphere began to enter the best of this year's Golden League.

The 50,000 spectators came to watch the game. Although I dare not say that all of them came for the men's 100 meters, at least 80% of them are looking forward to the match between the top players in this event.

Yeqin, Asafaville, Jason Gaby, the three best men's 100m athletes in the world will have a face-to-face confrontation this year.

On the big screen of the scene, the list of nine players in the men's 100m final appeared in front of everyone:

The first one, Michael Flatt, Jamaica;

Second, Richard Thompson, Trinidad and Tobago;

Third, Daniel Bailey, Antigua and Barbuda;

Fourth, Jason Gaby, the United States;

The Fifth Way, Ye Qin, China;

The sixth way, Asafaville, Jamaica;

The seventh way, Steve Mullins, Jamaica;

Eighth Road, Juhan Blake, Jamaica;

Ninth Road, Michael Rogers, United States;

In a corner of the auditorium, at this moment a tall figure wearing a baseball cap and a casual dress, when he saw the roster of the live players, he couldn't help standing up.

"Yose, sit down, as soon as you stand up, many people will recognize you."

Glenn Mills looked at the disciple beside him and seemed a little emotional, and quickly stretched out his hand to pull the other party's clothes to calm him down and sit on the seat.

"I regret it, coach."

Youssé Bot, who sat down again, looked at the menstruation arena in the distance, with a somewhat depressed tone in his tone.

"Why do you say that?" Glenn Mills had a warm smile on his chubby face.

"I should have participated." Youssé Bot looked at several familiar names on the field, "Yetsin, Asafa, Jason Gaby, I was able to meet so many opponents, but I was absent. , It makes me feel like I am escaping."

"Don't worry, Youssé, it's July 10th. It's only a week away from the Berlin World Championships. You will definitely run into them."

Glenn Mills fully understands the sudden emotions of Youssé Bot, and the Golden League in Rome is not valued before the game.

But now that Yechin, Jason Gaby and Asafaville are brought together, it immediately becomes different. Especially after the results of the preliminaries come out, basically everyone can imagine that this will be an extremely exciting game.

Youssé Bot has a strong obsession with championships, but he failed to show up in such a high-level matchup, which undoubtedly made him feel a little bit blocked.

When several of your most powerful opponents are competing in a game, but you can only stand by off the court, it feels absolutely uncomfortable!

Youssé Bot's heart is extremely proud to a certain extent. He became famous as a teenager, experienced setbacks, and reached the top of the competition.

Along the way, although he is a bit cynical and joking in front of many people, he has always been devoted and serious about the schedule.

And one of the characteristics of athletes is ~www.ltnovel.com~ when they watch the game off the court, they tend to be more excited than the players on the court.

Like many top athletes who become coaches after retiring, they will become irritable when coaching athletes in training and competition. One of the key points is that in the eyes of the coaches of these top athletes retiring, many things are extremely simple and natural. The people under your hands just can't fully meet expectations

Looking at the disciple who was still emotionally uneasy, Glenn Mills reached out and patted the other person on the shoulder, and continued to comfort him: "This time we come here mainly to see Yuhan's performance. You have to take yourself out of it. Come out, your game will be in Berlin a month later."

Youssé Bot took a long and deep breath and nodded. At this time, he had already noticed that many spectators around him noticed him after he just stood up.

He and Glenn Mills appeared in the Rome Golden League and did not register for the competition. On the one hand, he wanted to see how Yechin and other people performed in this game, and the other was also for Juhan Blake, which is better than him. A few years old, his performance has improved very rapidly in the past two years, and Youssé Bot even felt a wild and beasty breath in him.

Yuhan Blake’s experience in the competition is somewhat similar to that of Youssé Boll. Both of them started in the juvenile competition. The talent and determination of the other side showed off. When training together, Youssé Bot occasionally Will feel a little frightened.

Now Yohan Blake hasn’t fully matured yet, a bit similar to what he did in 2005 and 2006, but Yosef Bot has a feeling that in the past two years, his junior will definitely become He is another strong competitor in the sprint project.
