"It is very, very difficult for men to run into the 10-second mark in the 10-meter event. Ye Qin 9.98 not only means that China has very competitive athletes, but it will also have an impact on the younger generation of athletes."

"We really want to congratulate Ye Qin on his outstanding performance. I think Ye Qin's 9.98 seconds is great for both China and Asian track and field. This proves China's key role in the development of Asian track and field. Without China, there would be no progress in Asian track and field. I have seen the progress of Chinese track and field, and China has always played a leading role in the track and field."

...

In the indoor track and field stadium of the Yanjing Training General Administration, Ye Qin looked at Liu Yangyu reading several interviews in the newspapers for himself, and his face looked helpless.

"Brother Yang Yu, are you here to laugh at me?"

"No, no." Liu Yangyu had a smile on his face, "I've made a special trip to take it to show you how terrifying your influence is now. The big guys of the International Athletics Federation are speaking out for you."

The Asian Games ended, more than a month has passed, and it is now late January 2007.

Although Ye Qin has been hiding in the General Training Bureau for training and preparation, outside, he broke the 10-second mark, won four gold medals at the Asian Games, and won three records of 100, 200 and 400 for Asian men, but has become the focus of media attention.

Many people even went to interview other IAAF bosses to make comments. The first paragraph of the above two passages comes from IAAF boss Sebastian Ko, a hero who successfully bid for the London Olympics in Britain in 2005. The other is Asian Athletics boss Darland Ahmed.

After Ye Qin broke the 10-second mark, the two of them spoke out their congratulations and support. The 10-second mark has contemporary significance for sprinters, and even sports with one country and one race.

Before the 1990s, all athletes who could break the 10-second mark in the 100-meter event had West African descent, until 1991, the legendary Namibian athlete Flandericks became the first athlete to break 10 for non-West African descendants.

In 2003, Australian player Patrick Johnson became the first athlete to break the 10-second mark without an African background.

In 2006 this year, Ye Qin became the first Asian and East Asian yellow athlete to officially break the ten-second mark.

The meaning contained in this is just as Feng Shuyou, head coach of the track and field team, said: "Ye Qin represents the seniors in the Chinese track and field industry. Active athletes and coaches stand on the world arena and realizes the dreams of many people. He is very great. Ye Qin's breakthrough is not only of great significance to the men's 100 meters, but also has a very great incentive effect on other events. This allows us to break the original ideological shackles and break the myth that foreigners are invincible in this event."

It is precisely under this kind of publicity that Ye Qin's current popularity has really reached a new peak in China. Whether it is the advertisements and some commercial activities coming from the Field Management Center, or the daily outing, on the Shuimu Campus, he will always meet media reporters staring at him.

In addition, many bigwigs in the track and field, seniors in the sports industry, etc., all expressed their congratulations and support to Ye Qin, making Ye Qin's popularity go further than before the Asian Games. Only now is his popularity in China catching up with Liu Yangyu.

"By the way, when will we set out?"

Ye Qin was also a little excited about the recent influence he had caused.

However, in front of Liu Yangyu, there is nothing to say about these things. Everyone is first-class athletes and has achieved outstanding results in different events. Instead, they asked about another thing.

"No. 31, I have to wait until the time schedule for me is my master." Liu Yangyu recalled the schedule and then said, "My winter training is pretty good. How are you?"

Ye Qin shook his head slightly, "I'm a little unreasonable now. I feel it should be OK, but it still takes a few trips to the field to find out the result."

Speaking of this, Ye Qin paused, "The three 60-meter races should be able to find my feelings."

"The gap between 60 meters and 100 meters is not as big as you think. In a sense, there is still some common point. I run 60 meters hurdles, which is a bit worse than 110 meters hurdles, but in fact, there is not much difference between the two." Liu Yangyu smiled and comforted Ye Qin, and then said, "I remember you didn't seem to have much indoor race, right?"

"Well, it's relatively rare. At that time, I participated with Coach Nie twice, but at that time, they were both 200 meters and 400 meters." Ye Qin remembered the scene of participating in the national indoor competition with Nie Fangping. He felt that it was still yesterday, but in a blink of an eye, it had been several years.

In the first stop in 2007, Ye Qin and Liu Yangyu were both in Germany.

Liu Yangyu was invited by the German event organizing committee to open the German track and field website, and many of them were reported about Liu Yangyu. After more than a month of training at Shenghai Xinzhuang Training Base, Liu Yangyu came to the General Administration and prepared for the matter of going to Germany to compete later.

Ye Qin was naturally invited, but his performance in the men's 400m event in the indoor competition naturally cannot be compared with Liu Yangyu.

Various track and field events of all sizes held in Germany are experienced and have a lot of bonuses, and they can still attract some top track and field athletes from all over the world to participate.

The order of participation of Ye Qin and Liu Yangyu started from the Stuttgart Indoor Track and Field Championships, followed by the Düsseldorf Indoor Track and Field Championships and the Karlsruhe Indoor Track and Field Championships, a total of three indoor track and field competitions.

However, the difference is that although Ye Qin agreed to go to Germany to participate in the indoor competition, it is not what the outside world thinks is the men's 400-meter indoor event. During his trip to Germany, in three indoor competitions, Ye Qin participated in the indoor 60-meter competition.

After two men's 100m matches between the World Youth Championship and the Asian Games, Ye Qin first broke the national men's 100m record and then broke the 10-second mark. He has undoubtedly confirmed his performance on the men's 100m.

The Field Management Center and the track and field team also officially confirmed that Ye Qin and the men's 100 meters were held, and they would have biased against the 100-meter event in future competitions and training.

Ye Qin participated in the men's 60-meter indoor competition this time, under the advice of coach Yuan Guohua, and followed Liu Yangyu and Sun Chaosheng to go directly to Germany to participate in the indoor competition, using the competition instead of training, and improving his starting and acceleration level.

Compared with the 100-meter event, the distance of the 60-meter event is shorter, and it requires explosive power and starting skills. Ye Qin has been learning and improving these aspects, but no matter how well he practices normally, or wants to achieve results as quickly as possible, the best way is undoubtedly the competition.

The invitation to the three indoor track and field competitions in Germany in 2007 just gave Ye Qin a chance. The way to train with competitions is the training method that Ye Qin is used to, constantly learning experience and lessons in the field, improving his skills, and breaking his own limits when facing strong competitors.
