Chapter 176: New Peaks

The passing standards for the 2004 Athens Olympics were approved by the IAAF in track and field events in November 2002. Except for marathons, the other track and field events must meet the standards from January 1, 2003 to August 9, 2004, and the marathons will be participated from September 1, 2002 to August 9, 2004.

Except for relay races, all results must be obtained in IAAF or its commissioned events, as well as events organized by regional federations or national members. Events at universities or schools must be approved by national associations before they can be recognized.

The men's 400m A-mark score is 45 seconds 55, and the B-mark score is 45 seconds 95.

Just now, Ye Qin ran 45 seconds 88, meeting the Olympic B-target competition standards, and it was also the best result for Chinese athletes in the men's 400m event from 2003 to 2004.

The national men's 400m record was 45 seconds 25 seconds set by Xu Zhiyu at the 2001 East Asian Games. The opponent was the holder of the national men's 400m record, but his personal condition was best from 1999 to 2001. During this period, there were several major races that led to 46 seconds. However, his personal injury status declined since 2003, and his results in the 400m event were around 46 and 47 seconds.

This means that Ye Qin is currently the only athlete in China who has reached the men's 400m B mark in the Olympics. If nothing unexpected happens, Ye Qin has already obtained this ticket to the Athens Olympics.

Ye Qin didn't lie on the ground for too long. A staff member of the competition next to him handed him a bottle of water. He struggled to stand up and took a sip. Then, when he saw the results on the big screen, he was secretly excited.

He has always kept the Olympics' meeting results in his heart. Nei Fangping and himself did not think about this year's competition, but at this moment, I was still a little excited when I saw the results come out.

He had the chance to participate in the Olympics, the world's top stadium.

but……

"Merritt!"

"Merritt!"

There was a name shouting in the stands on the sidelines.

The mixed Italian and other dialects make people feel inconspicuous, but gradually Ye Qin can still hear clearly.

Many people are shouting the champion's name.

Especially in the stands, there were a few American audiences, waving the star and striped flags, jumping and jumping, extremely excited!

Ye Qin noticed the black young man wearing blue sportswear and greeting the cheers of many spectators in the field. After a 400-meter race, the other party seemed to have enough energy. He was accepting cheers and taking photos of many reporters on the sidelines.

"The road is still far!"

Ye Qin took a few deep breaths, calmed down his breathing, and watched the other party being surrounded by crowds. The situation at this time was very similar to the World Young Masters Tournament a year ago.

After the 400-meter race, Sudanese players Abu Bakr Ali and Yusé Bot were cheered and applauded in the stadium. He still remembered the scene of the reporter's interview and photo shoot clearly.

In a year, he made great progress, defeating Abu Bakker Ali, and last year, the player who was able to throw him a big step and lead for more than one second, finally defeated the opponent in this game.

Abu Bakker Ali's 400m final result was 45.97 seconds, which was almost the same as Botswana's Obaken Gviva, but only slightly won in a thousand minutes. The two were overtaken by Ye Qin in the last ten meters.

For a moment, Ye Qin really wanted to roar, but this kind of joy was soon replaced by a new opponent.

He has a new challenge goal.

Raun Merritt, this American player has amazing strength. The 45-second and 25-second run of the 400-meter race just now is still stronger than him. 45-second 25-second, and the national 400-meter record is nothing more than that. This result breaks the world's young man's record of 400-meters.

"...So if you want to make progress, go to a bigger circle and you will make progress more."

Ye Qin was able to understand the meaning of this sentence at this time. He was delighted by his progress. He had crossed the peak that almost made him lose confidence last year, but before he could be too happy, he saw a new mountain appearing in front of him. After climbing over a peak, he could see a new peak standing in front of him again.

This is competitive sports!

Only when you push yourself to a limit can you surpass yourself!

This group of 400 meters was the limit of Ye Qin's running at this time. He almost fell down after running. Even after lying for a while, he recovered a little, and after standing up, he still felt weak legs and weak hands, and his whole body was sore and weak.

Ye Qin stood up at this moment, and he felt that his legs were weak and his whole body seemed to be soft and weak.

But the more this happens, Ye Qin suddenly felt a strong sense of expectation in his heart. How many top experts will be there in that stadium at the Olympics in Athens next month.

He wanted to compete with such a powerful opponent, constantly see his own progress, and then defeat them.

When I climb over the peak after peak, will one day become the highest one myself?!

...

Before leaving the arena, Ye Qin and other players went forward to congratulate Lawn Merritt.

Raun Merritt broke the world youth record in the 400m final, but he did not have a chance to play in the Olympics next month. Instead, Sudanese athlete Abu Bakr Ali, who ran the Olympics in the airport competition last year, will participate as a player of the Sudan national team after participating in the World Youth Championship.

"Coach Nie, congratulations! Ye Qin has made great progress!" Seeing the end of the men's 400-meter final in the field, Zhou Bin sighed sincerely.

In just over a year, from Nie Fangping and Ye Qin appearing at the track and field field at the Field Management Center to the current World Youth Championships, he has almost watched Ye Qin improve step by step.

Now, this young man has actually reached the B-standard of the Olympics and has obtained a ticket to participate in the Olympics.

This made him sigh.

He also knew about the situation of the track and field team at this year's Athens Olympics. Chen Jian was the one who participated in the men's 100m competition, and Yang Yao was the one who participated in the men's 200m competition. In the 400m event, domestic players did not meet the standards and no one could participate.

Zhou Bin once did not think that Ye Qin could achieve the standard. At last year's City Games, Ye Qin's results were still different from the Olympic standards. He hoped more to let Ye Qin participate in the World Youth Championship.

But, this kid really achieved the standard results before the Olympics in the World Youth Championship.

Zhou Bin can imagine that if this news is transmitted back to the national team, several leaders will not know how happy they will be.

With Ye Qin's age and having experience in participating in this Olympics, Zhou Bin feels that he no longer dares to think about what he will perform in four years.

Nie Fangping seemed to have not heard Zhou Bin's words at this moment, his round face turned red, and his lips moved slightly, "I have met the standards. Ye Qin can participate in the Olympics and join the national team. Haha, I, Nie Fangping, brought out an athlete who can participate in the Olympics, hahaha..."

"Coach Nie, Coach Nie..."

Zhou Bin shouted several times and realized something was wrong. He could hear Nie Fangping's heavy breathing. As soon as he reached out to pat Nie Fangping's shoulder, he suddenly felt that the other party was softened like cotton.
Chapter completed!
