Chapter 344 4400 meters ended perfectly
October 22nd, the last day of the 10th National Games track and field events.
For the events where the audience is most popular, it mainly focuses on the men's relay events of 4x100 meters and 4x400 meters.
The men's 4x100m relay race time is at 19:40, while the men's 4x400m relay final is at 20:50, with two games apart one hour, but they are all events that attract the most attention of the audience.
The men's 4x100m game has always attracted the attention of many people. This time, the men's 4x100m relay event of the National Games had already been reported before the game that Liu Yangyu would appear as the fourth bat for Sheng Hai team. For him, who was very popular at this time, this game naturally attracted the attention of many people.
Liu Yangyu is the Olympic champion and World Championships champion of the men's 110-meter hurdles. Everyone knows that he runs fast. Many people have been guessing how much Liu Yangyu's men's 100-meter score is. There are endless speculations about such things on the Internet and the media.
Neither Ye Qin nor Liu Yangyu participated in the official large-scale men's 100-meter competition and had always lacked competition data. In Zurich, the small-scale three-person 100-meter test was later transmitted from some unknown channel, and it once became one of the topics of discussion and chat.
Although Ye Qin did not appear in the men's 4x100-meter relay event this time, Liu Yangyu participated, which still aroused the expectation of a large number of viewers.
At 19:30 pm, the Olympic Sports Center Stadium, which had been crowded for five or six consecutive days, ushering in the last day of this National Games.
Forty or fifty thousand spectators from Jinling and all over the country were waiting in the stands, waiting for the upcoming men's 4x100m relay final.
"Brother Yang Yu is really the fourth best!"
In the stands, Ye Qin watched the eight relay teams finish the step point, and the athletes from each pass stood in each relay area in the order of each baton, and immediately said to Chen Zhongzhou next to him.
"Liu Yangyu must be the fourth best. This is the fourth way to run 4x400 meters with you. Everyone is looking forward to it." Chen Zhongzhou also looked at the way arrangements of the athletes of various relay teams, and said with a smile.
He seemed to have carefully looked at Sheng Hai's third ball, and then became surprised, "Did Yang Yao run the third ball?"
"Yes." Ye Qin was also surprised, "Yang Yao seemed to suffer a little while running the third stick!"
The arrangements of each bats of the relay team can be changed before playing. As long as they belong to the same team, even if they are not members of the relay team, they can arrange to participate in the competition if necessary.
Yang Yao ran the third ball, naturally because he was a special 200-meter athlete with excellent curve skills, but in the eyes of Ye Qin and Chen Zhongzhou, Yang Yao should be the most suitable one to run the second ball.
In the 4x100-meter relay race, the second bat has the longest distance, and what is needed is a player with abundant range ability. The third bat is preferably an athlete with strong explosive power and short range speed and fast sprinting.
"Maybe Yang Yao and Liu Yangyu are more familiar with each other, so they can cooperate better."
Ye Qin can only guess this way of the way arrangement. Although Yang Yao's third ball is not the best choice, he is a large athlete with a slow start, but the relay zone provides him with sufficient acceleration time, and his grades should be good.
"That's true." Chen Zhongzhou nodded, probably this is the reasonable idea.
Sheng Hai's performance in the preliminary round was not particularly ideal, and was arranged in the second lane. The third lane was the Guangdong Provincial Team and the fourth lane. The strength of these teams was very strong.
After the game started, the situation on the court was exactly as expected by Ye Qin and Chen Zhongzhou.
Shenghai's first bat was originally Zhou Wei, the national men's 100-meter record holder. As a result, due to an injury, the opponent withdrew from the relay race, which made the athlete who ran the first bat a lot weaker. The first bat just finished running and fell to the third position.
When it reached the second straight stage, it was even weaker to fifth place. On the contrary, the Guangdong Provincial Team, which is not particularly strong in the sprint event, emerged and accumulated advantages after two batons and reached the first place. Guizhou Province followed closely behind and was in second place.
It was not until the third ball that Shenghai team relied on Yang Yao's personal ability to catch up from the fifth position, and finally went into the straight line. Yang Yao had almost chased from the fifth position to the second position.
At the moment of completing the handover, Yang Yao and Liu Yangyu could not have much understanding of cooperation, but there was no big mistake. At this time, on the other side, the fourth battalion of Guizhou team, Gong Wei, the men's 100-meter champion of this National Games, has already started to start, and the speed is getting faster and faster.
Although Liu Yangyu was chasing him back, he still had a certain gap with the professional male 100-meter players on the 100-meter track. In the final result, the men's 4x100-meter championship was won by the Guizhou Provincial Team, with a time of 39.41 seconds, and Shenghai team won the runner-up with a time of 0.24 seconds behind the championship.
“The difference between hurdling and sprinting is quite big.”
After watching the men's 4x100m game, Ye Qin followed Chen Zhongzhou back to the indoor recording area. Without much time, the men's 4x400m relay final will start.
"According to the 110-meter hurdle, Liu Yangyu can run around 10 seconds, 2-10 seconds, 4, and the specific one depends on his performance. However, when you talk about the technical differences between hurdles and sprints, it is still very obvious here. Pay attention to Liu Yangyu's movements just now. Every few steps he runs, he will always habitually jump and jump. This is a memory deep in his muscles and bones. There are 10 stairs on the 110-meter track, three steps and one hurdle. Speed is not the most important thing. Liu Yangyu's best skills and rhythm are the inter-bar skills."
When he heard Ye Qin talk about the competition just now, Chen Zhongzhou carefully talked about the difference between the two. These are the homework he has done in the national team over the years. He has a very intuitive understanding of the short-span of track and field sprinting and field sprinting.
After returning from the World Championships, Randy Huntel's center of gravity returned to the long jump. Ye Qin's assistant coach has taken over many of his training tasks. So far, the two have not encountered any problems when they get along.
At 20:40 pm, after a simple warm-up on the indoor warm-up track, Ye Qin appeared on the Olympic Sports Center sports field with three other Haixi men's 4x400 meters relay.
In the men's 4x400m event, although Haixi Province advanced to the finals, it lost to the Guangdong Provincial Team in the group stage in the preliminary round.
Guangdong Province has not seen particularly eye-catching talents in the men's 100-meter sprint event this year. Wen Yongyi's previous performance in this National Games has made Guangdong Province, which is known as a strong track and field province, but has not made many achievements in men's events.
However, in the 400-meter event, there are still many talents in Guangdong Province. In addition to the champion being won by Ye Qin, the men's second place in the 400-meter 400-meter 4 are both Guangdong Province players.
Among them, Wang Liangyu, who won the runner-up, played against Ye Qin in this National Games, and the two also ran together at the 2003 City Games. Ye Qin was the third place and the other was the fourth place.
However, Ye Qin's growth rate has been amazing in the past two years. He jumped up and was already a world-class player. Although the opponent has made some progress, overall, he is still at the top level in the country.
After all, 4x400 meters is a relay event, and four people need to complete the competition. Although Ye Qin is strong in his personal strength, if his teammates fail to perform as well as he should, he will still be a little bit unbearable in the end.
The other three relay athletes from Haixi Province also know this. Although their overall strength is weaker than that of the players of the Guangdong Provincial Team, they are actually not that big.
The main thing is the mentality of the competition, and performance is not particularly ideal. After all, if you win with a world-class player like Ye Qin, it is not a performance of your ability, but if you lose 100%, you will blame them on them.
Because of this, after the preliminary round, Liao Guanjun, the coach in charge of the relay event in Haixi Province, repeatedly did psychological work for the three of them.
After the men's 4x400m final began, Ye Qin was waiting for the final fourth battalion at the edge of the relay zone. It seemed that because several people had done psychological construction, the feeling that Ye Qin felt was obviously much better than the preliminaries when running this time.
Wang Ningming, who was the first player, ranked second among the eight players after running, only behind the first player in Guangdong Province. After running the second player, Cheng Zhiwei, who was born in Haixi Province as a 400-meter hurdle, also performed quite well and ranked third.
When he arrived at the third bat, Chen Xiaochuan, who was 800 meters in the special event, was inevitably caught up by other players, but when he finally handed over the baton to Ye Qin, he was much faster than the preliminary round, and tied for the fourth place with the third bat of Yanjing team.
The moment Ye Qin got the baton, the tense atmosphere suddenly rose to the highest point.
Just like during the 4x100m relay race, Yang Yao handed the baton in his hand to Liu Yangyu, the audience was waiting for this moment.
Ye Qin did not disappoint the audience and the audience in front of the TV. The moment he got the baton, he started running quickly.
In just a short distance of dozens of meters, the Yanjing team, which was faster than him, went out of the front line and chased towards the Guangdong Provincial Team, the hosts Su Provincial Team and the Sichuan Provincial Team in front.
At 250 meters, Ye Qin caught up with the fourth player of the third Sichuan Provincial Team in front, and at 300 meters, he surpassed the host Su Provincial Team.
At 350 meters, Ye Qin had already joined the Guangdong Provincial Team's last bat, Wang Liangyu, the runner-up of the men's 400 meters final.
In the last fifty meters, Ye Qin, amid the cheers of the audience, directly surpassed Wang Liangyu with his super speed ability in the second half, ran to the first place, and maintained this advantage to the finish line.
In the end, the Haixi Provincial Relay Team won the championship of the men's 4x400m relay race of the 10th National Games with Ye Qin's last super baton with a time of 3 minutes 06 seconds 37, and the Guangdong Provincial Team ranked second with a time of 3 minutes 06 seconds 97.
The two teams have also been relatively close in the 4x400m event in recent years, and have achieved quite excellent results. They have obviously widened a certain distance from the third-place host Su Provincial Team's 3 minutes 09.84 score.
In front of the finish line, Ye Qin raised his head and looked at the audience who were applauding and celebrating him, and raised his hands high.
This is his first time participating in the National Games, and after this 4x400m competition, he also delivered a perfect answer.
Chapter completed!
