On the 400-meter starting line track, Ye Qin was slowly moving his condition. After two 200-meter races a day, it is now the third time that he has stood in front of the starting line.

Because the sky was already dim, the lights of the entire stadium were particularly dazzling and bright. The shouts of the audience on the sidelines sounded from time to time, which made Ye Qin feel like I was in the center of the stage.

"This is the stage, the stage I want to show!"

Ye Qin listened to the deepest voice in his heart, and the emotions in his heart seemed to be mobilized by the atmosphere of the field bit by bit. However, he felt a sense of heat in the cool night breeze.

Ye Qin is not very familiar with this group of men's 400m semi-finals, but like before, he met a long-lost opponent.

The seventh Sultan player, Abu Bakr Ali.

Ye Qin noticed the other party before entering the court. This was his old opponent and the first sprinter to make him realize the difference with the top talented teenagers in the world.

In 2003, Ye Qin had fought with the opponent once. At that time, Abu Bakker Ali won the championship with a time of 46.10 seconds, Ye Qin was the third place. Then in the 2004 World Youth Championship, the men's 400-meter championship was won by American sprinter Sean Merritt, Ye Qin won the runner-up, and Abu Bakker Ali was the third place.

Abu Bakker Ali also participated in the Olympics, but like Ye Qin, both of them were eliminated in the first round of the preliminary round.

This time, the men's 400m semi-finals of the World Championships is the third time that the two have fought. Compared with other players, such as Abu Bakker Ali, Sean Merritt, Andrew Hau and Yusé Bot, they can basically be regarded as sprinters who emerged from Ye Qin's age and era.

They are all representatives of the younger generation of athletes with excellent talent.

In competitive sports, the most emphasis is talent, and it may only be talent.

But who can stand in the arena of the World Championships?

Ye Qin knew very well that he had talent. In addition to his personal hard work, he had talent far surpassed others.

Compared with Asian athletes, he can be said to be the best among his peers with extremely high talent, but there are many sprinters who are as talented as him or have better talents than him worldwide.

But talent determines the upper limit and the achievements he can achieve in the end. Before that, he needs to continue to work hard and strive to squeeze out all his potential bit by bit.

Their generation of sprinters not only have to compete with each other, but also constantly sharpen their heads and squeeze them up to compete with the previous group of athletes.

Moreover, as they age, in another three or four years, they will face the challenge of the next group of athletes with excellent talent.

Competitive sports continue to challenge this road, changing old and new, generation after generation, achieving continuous transcendence and growth.

As the third game held today, Ye Qin had completely put aside other ideas at this moment. The men's 200-meter rematch and semi-finals in front of him can be said to have consumed a lot of physical fitness to some extent. He is actually not sure what kind of results he can achieve in this semi-final.

But this is exactly what makes Ye Qin's mood rise more and more.

With so many audiences in this stage, I have nothing to hesitate about. I will do my best to fight for it.

As for the 200m final of the day, or the successful advancement in the 400m final, the 400m final the day after tomorrow, that is all the next thing. All he has to do is complete the current task.

“on your marks!”

The sound of the field starter reminding the players to take their seats was heard.

Ye Qin shook off his chaotic thoughts and looked in the stands. The lights of the arena were dazzling, but the lights in the audience were not very bright. The performers on the stage could not see clearly his audience on the sidelines at this time.

But he still looked at it habitually, and there seemed to be a red flag flying there. He knew that no matter what, there should be many people watching him play there. Moreover, even in a Nordic city like Helsinki, many Chinese students came to support him.

He is representing the Chinese team. It is the honor and pride of the Chinese people to stand on this stage. He may not have such a deep experience in participating in the World Youth Championship and World Youth Championship when he was young.

But after the Olympics, when he was recognized by a child at the airport and asked him to sign, he gradually understood the expectation that countless Chinese people were eagerly placed on high expectations.

The media will mention your name, your achievements, your honors, and the people will want to watch your game and see you accomplish the goals they want to accomplish.

They are their own compatriots, they want to see the champion and the national flag rises.

And I myself want to be the champion and the pride of all of you!

...

In the Helsinki Stadium, the noisy audience members gradually became less and less.

Tens of thousands of viewers were betting nervously on the man's 400-meter starting line, their eyes wide open, breathing lowered, and waiting for the upcoming game.

Before the starting line, after the starter was ready to take the position, the eight players walked onto the runners and slowly bent down to prepare for the sound of the starting gunshot.

Ye Qin let out a light breath and suppressed the thumping excitement. His whole spirit was completely integrated into the game that was about to begin, maintaining a high degree of concentration and waiting to fire the gun.

Although he is not particularly clear about the overall level of this group of players, the athletes' level must be very high when they can reach the second round of the semi-finals of the World Championships.

Like Darod Williamson in the fifth lane, this is the relay player of the Athens Olympic Beautiful Men's 4x400m Championship Team. He created his personal best in this year's NCAA men's 400m competition, and is also a strong contender for medals in this World Championship.

In addition, Canadian player Taylor Christopher in the sixth lane, Ye Qin had already encountered the opponent in the preliminary round and was very strong. Although he had reservations like Ye Qin in the preliminary round and could not see the best results, it can be seen that the opponent was the holder of the Canadian men's 400-meter record.

Although Canada has fewer people, there are never a shortage of top sprinters. It was once awesome in international competitions and was able to compete with the United States.

Taylor Christopher was also very competitive in the 200m and also achieved the standard results, but the other party did not participate in two events, and only participated in one event in the men's 400m.

If anyone who is present pays the most attention to Ye Qin, he is probably the only one.

Since the last generation of Canada's top sprinters Ben Johnson and Donovan Bailey, Canada has been somewhat short of successors in the international sprint events. The two Canadian players participating in the men's 100-meter event at this World Championships have stopped in the rematch. In the men's 200-meter event, no Canadian players have participated.

Taylor Christopher once considered participating in the men's 200m and men's 400m events in this World Championships, but in the end, due to the conflict in schedule and time, he gave up the men's 200m events and focused on the men's 400m events that he is best at.

This is a rational choice made by an athlete when preparing for a top-level event.

In Ye Qin's previous men's 200m competition, he actually saw that there were only a few people in the sprint event, and some people participated in three games a day, so how could they not attract everyone's attention?

At this time, he encountered Ye Qin again in the semi-finals. He also wanted to see how this young Asian player was in today and whether he could win the first place in the group again as yesterday and advance to the finals.

“Set!”

On the sidelines, the sound of the starter being prepared was heard through the loudspeaker.
Chapter completed!
