On July 13, the third day of the Lausanne Super Grand Prix ended.

Italy, Rome, Olympic Stadium.

When Ye Qin walked into the stadium, he looked at the cheering and thunderous applause in the audience's stands, and couldn't help feeling a little emotion.

This is Ye Qin's second trip to Italy. Ye Qin once had a deep memory here in Grossetto's World Youth Track and Field Championships three years ago. It was after that competition that Nie Fangping did not continue to coach Ye Qin due to his health.

Grossetto's World Youth Championship is an extremely important turning point for Ye Qin's entire career and even his entire life.

It was precisely because Ye Qin had reached the AB standard qualification for the men's 200m and 400m events in the World Youth Championship that he was urgently recruited by the national team to participate in the competition, and achieved the biggest breakthrough in the Chinese men's sprint event in the Olympics. Finally, some contestants were able to stand on the track of the sprint finals.

Now three years have passed, Ye Qin is no longer the unknown young man who has entered and left the international field, and has completely grown into a top-notch athlete among the world's sprinters. He was quite moved for a while when he revisited his old place.

Today's game is the Rome match of the IAAF Golden League, and it is also the last stop of Ye Qin's trip to Europe before this year's Osaka World Championships.

After running this game, he will immediately return home. Liu Yangyu and others who also came to Europe to participate in the Golden League did not participate in the Golden League, but instead went to the UK to participate in the British Grand Prix on July 15.

Similarly, Jason Gaby, Spearmon and Yusey Bott, etc., are absent from this Golden League. Their choice will be in the UK Grand Prix. As a major competition that several people have participated in in recent years, in the UK, they are much higher than Ye Qin's enthusiastic invitations and popularity.

However, today's Golden League at Rome will not be too lonely.

The Rome Golden League did not have a men's 200m event, so Ye Qin would still participate in the men's 100m.

The opponents he will encounter are basically not much different from the Golden League in Oslo, and the strongest competitors are still Asafaville and Derek Atkins.

The complete title of the Golden League in Rome is called the "Golden Festival" track and field competition. It first started in 1981. In order to boycott the 1980 Moscow Olympics, athletes from the United States and NATO countries gathered athletes from the United States and NATO countries to hold a large-scale sporting event.

The main venue of the event, the Olympic Stadium in Rome, is the most famous stadium in Italy. It is usually used in football events, hosting the World Cup and European Cup. In addition, it is also the main venue for the Italian National Rugby League and the Italian National Track and Field Competition.

When Ye Qin and the other eight contestants in the 100-meter man appeared in the Olympic Stadium, cheers from the audience were already heard.

The men's 100-meter race is still the top priority of the annual Golden League.

In this game, Asafaville, who is currently ranked No. 1 in the world, appeared. At the same time, Ye Qin has completely beaten his name in three or four games in Europe this year.

In the men's 100m event, Ye Qin has been the top player who has run 10 seconds four times in a row this year. In addition, his outstanding performance in the men's 200m and 400m, Ye Qin is no less than last year's Jason Gaby.

Moreover, he also received the honor of the men's 200m championship in the 2005 World Championships, and also entered the World Championship finals in the 400m event. His position in the international arena can now be said to be in the top three and top five.

When nine players appeared on the field, the pass information of eight players appeared on the large screen on the Rome Olympic Stadium:

First, Derek Atkins, Bahamas;

The second route, Simon Creo, Italy;

The third road, Nesta Carter, Jamaica;

The fourth road, Kurandi Martina, Antilles of the Netherlands;

The fifth road, Mark Jacks, United States;

The Sixth Road, Ye Qin, China;

The seventh road, Asafaville, Jamaica;

The eighth road, Michael Flat, Jamaica;

The ninth route, Sean Crowder, United States;

The male 100-meter athletes on the entire field, except for Simon Cleo, who was the host of the Italian athlete, who participated in the competition, among the many other players, most of Ye Qin had faced each other, or were familiar.

Players who have reached a certain level in the IAAF men's 100-meter event have risen and fallen with the rise of some new athletes, but in the relative time, basically most of the players' lineups will only be wandering among those 10 or 20 people.

On the field, before the man's 100-meter starting line, Asafaville glanced at Ye Qin expressionlessly.

After losing the Golden League in the last Oslo game, he was always surprised. He felt that Ye Qin's rise was another Jason Gaby challenging him.

After Jax Trin was suspended in the men's 100m event last year, Asafaville thought he might not have any opponents.

But at this time, American player Jason Gay suddenly broke out and became the fastest rising one in the 100m. He ran several times into 10 seconds or even within 9 seconds and 90 seconds. In the last few games, Asafaville began to avoid his edge in order to maintain the record of winning streak of 100 meters throughout the year.

This year, in addition to Jason Gaby, Asafaville felt two more challengers.

One is Ye Qin. As the men's 200m champion at the 2005 World Championships, Asafaville naturally believes that Ye Qin will have enough strength in the 100m. However, he didn't expect Ye Qin to make such rapid progress. He ran within 10 seconds in several consecutive games, and his condition was extremely stable, making him feel that Ye Qin seemed to have the potential to improve further.

Another one is Bahamas player Derek Atkins, a young player who was almost completely unfamous in the international arena, emerged this year. He first broke the national record of his country, and then ran to the 10-second mark in several US competitions. Moreover, his performance in these games is obviously one level higher than other players, and he can basically run to about 10 seconds, second only to Jason Gaby and Ye Qin.

At the Lausanne Super Grand Prix, neither Ye Qin nor Jason Gaby participated in the men's 100m event. Derek Atkins easily defeated a number of famous players including Leonard Scott and Sean Cloud with a time of 10.04.

After the previous game, Asafaville still had to pay attention to Ye Qin and Derek Atkins. The man's honor of the 100-meter crown was dazzling, but facing the challenges of endless opponents, it was also a very difficult thing.

Ye Qin could understand Asafaville's heart. After sitting on the throne of the man's 100-meter world record holder, the pressure he was naturally extremely different. In the past few years, from Jax Tryn to Jason Gaby and other players have launched snipers again and again in the man's 100-meter event.

For a sprinter, the peak era is often only a few years, and it is extremely difficult to ensure that you can win every game. Even if you are strong enough, you will inevitably be in poor condition.

Asafaville is already a feat to maintain a 100-meter winning streak. If you want to defend your first position, you have to bear great internal and external pressure.

Moreover, more importantly, Asafaville lacks major competition honors. Whether it is the Olympic Games in 2004 or the World Championships in 2005, Asafaville seems to have not performed particularly well in two large-scale competitions due to his mental state and bad luck.

Faced with the upcoming 2007 World Championships, Asafaville wants to prove his identity as the number one in the 100-meter world, he also needs to have a convincing honor in this competition.

Similarly, Ye Qin won the men's 200m championship at the 2005 World Championships. Although he defeated a strong player at the time, his results at that time were nothing compared to the results of many 200m players running in 2006 and 2007.

Jason Gaby, Wallace Spearmon, and Yusey Bot have made great progress in the past few years. Even though they lost most of Ye Qin, they are definitely unwilling to only serve as background boards in large-scale events.
