Four hundred and twentieth chapters ready to play

"I am the only one who is qualified to participate. It's a pity to give up. Let me see the situation first. There is a race. If it's just the first two shots, I'll run a little bit, and it should be okay."

When Ye Qin saw Yuan Guohua ask this question, he directly expressed his thoughts.

Some time ago, after the schedule of the World Championships was scheduled, the team held a meeting to discuss the events Ye Qin participated in.

The men's 100m competition time is at 12:10 on August 25, the rematch will be held at 20:15 on August 25, the semi-finals at 20:10 on August 26, and the finals at 22:20 on August 26.

The men's 200m competition time is at 11:10 on August 28, the rematch will be held at 20:10 on August 28, the semi-finals at 22:20 on August 29, and the finals at 22:20 on August 30.

The men's 400m competition time is at 10:10 on August 28, the semi-finals at 21:25 on August 29, and the finals at 22:05 on August 31.

Ye Qin is qualified for the men's 100m, 200m and 400m, and has the ability to compete for medals. However, the men's 200m and 400m preliminaries and semi-finals are very close. It can be said that if they all participate, the pressure on Ye Qin will be quite large, which is more testable than the previous competitions.

The team's discussion result was to give up the men's 400m event. Ye Qin had considered it before, and the most important thing was the pressure of two games on the 28th and 29th. However, after watching the final time, there was no conflict. Ye Qin told the team that he hoped that after he finished the 200m and 400m preliminary rounds, he would consider it based on his physical fitness and his performance at that time.

On the one hand, he was reluctant to give up this event. He had participated in three events before the World Youth Championship and the Olympics, and he felt that he should be able to cope with it. The other is, in the men's 400m event, there were too few Chinese players showing their faces in the competition, and those who could meet the standards were all corners. Even if Ye Qin was not on the 100m and 200m, there were still a few people who could show their faces, but if he didn't participate in the 400m, there would be no one. Ye Qin hoped that he could leave something to inspire future generations.

Since breaking the 10-second mark in the 10-meter meter, Ye Qin could clearly feel that many coaches and athletes have different attitudes towards the 100-meter meter. He believes that if someone broke the 10-second mark five or ten years earlier, perhaps the second and third ones may have already run into 10 seconds in recent years.

The words are more idealistic, but after a layer of shackles are broken, the later generations can see the goal and at least have a direction to fight, instead of just like those people before, feeling that they are the number one in the country after 10 seconds and lose the motivation to continue to surpass themselves.

In the men's 400m event, Ye Qin doesn't care so much about whether he can win medals or championships. He just wants to run a score of less than 44 seconds, and when the person behind him practices 400m, at least he really sees such an Asian player doing it. Just like 100m and 200m, everyone can see the gap and see the precedent for success. Perhaps someone can do it, this person may be you or me.

At 12:15 noon, outside the stadium, the men's 100-meter preliminaries officially began, and on the indoor warm-up track of the stadium, footsteps sounded one after another.

Ye Qin stepped on the runner and slowly adjusted the center of gravity of his body. After the preparatory command sounded in his mind, his body raised up. After the imaginary gunshot sounded, his body suddenly ejected out quickly.

After the rapid footsteps, Ye Qin ran about twenty meters and his movements gradually slowed down.

The eyes fell on several other players doing starting training on the track, Asafaville, Nesta Carter, and Currandy Martina, all of which were going to play in the next few preliminaries.

There are many people participating in this World Championships, and the number of contestants in the men's 100-meter competition reached 67, and a total of 8 preliminaries were divided into 8 preliminaries. Among them, nine were contestants in three preliminaries.

Ye Qin was in the seventh group of the preliminary round, first against the back, while Ye Qin saw several familiar faces Asafaville and Kurandi Martina, they were in the sixth group and the eighth group in the front and back.

As for Jason Gaby and Derek Atkins, two players who are ranked among the top in the IAAF men's 100m event this year, they are already starting the competition and waiting field.

When Ye Qin glanced over Asafaville, he could see that the opponent looked a little tense, and he was meticulous in the warm-up, as if he had brought him tremendous pressure in the upcoming game.

Ye Qin could understand Powell's mentality about this large-scale competition. Since the Athens Olympics in 2004, Asafaville won fifth place in the men's 100m, and withdrew from the 200m event due to injury. By the 2005 World Championships, Asafaville did not participate directly due to thigh muscle injuries.

Since then, although Asafaville has risen in the world field, its ranking has been high for a while, breaking Morris Green's world record for men's 100 meters and becoming the number one man in the 100-meter world.

But Asafaville has always lacked a heavyweight gold medal. Whether it is from the Olympics or the World Championships, Asafaville's dominance in the men's 100 meters in recent years is great, even better than Morris Green, but his lack of competition results and medals has made him, the world record holder, lack some weight that can suppress other players.

This year's World Championships is undoubtedly the best opportunity for Asafaville. If you want to prove that you are the world's number one flying man, you naturally need to show your due strength, and the internal and external pressures you will endure are naturally different.

Not to mention anything else, Jamaica alone almost always regards Asafaville as a hero. Even Yusé Bott, they all have lofty feelings for Asafaville.

This is just like Ye Qin breaking the 10-second mark. Asafaville broke the man's 100-meter world record and created a possibility for Jamaican sprinters. Breaking the possibility of the United States' monopoly in sprint events has allowed those Jamaican teenagers who have started training in small hills of yellow mud since childhood to create the possibility that we can become the world's number one.

When this achievement is paid attention to and expected by the entire Jamaica, it will naturally cause a burden and pressure.

Even Ye Qin, although he never thought about it deep, occasionally when it was late at night or when he was tired of training, he would inevitably come to his mind. If he lost the World Championships and next year's Olympics, would he be criticized by domestic spectators?

Yusé Bot told him that before the 2004 Olympics, he was almost a freshman track and field star in Jamaican, and he presented awards to him in a large venue of tens of thousands of people. Facing the crazy audience, he was almost at a loss what to do.

But when he failed in the 2004 Olympics, domestic criticism made him unbearable and he hid in the countryside where his parents were.

Ye Qin has not experienced this process, but he can understand that this is caused by his growth being different from others.

He was much harder than others in order to get on the runway.

He also paid much more when choosing track and field to choose sprint.

He does not allow himself to fail, but he does not accept failure.

A long time ago, Ye Qin understood that the pressure given to him by the outside world is only one aspect after all.

When I was confused about the road ahead with nothing, track and field and sprint gave me everything.

Then I kept working hard and running with all my might. I was for myself, then for others, and for the motherland.

This goal has always been clear and has not changed.

If we say that what is the biggest motivation that supports Ye Qin now, to become the best athlete, to bring glory to the motherland, and to make money, there are all these things.

But in the deepest part of his heart, what he remembered most deeply was what Nie Fangping once said to him, Ye Qin, don’t let the runway down!

The runway has given me a new life, and I will not let it go no matter what the reason is!

...

Before the indoor warm-up track, Asafaville had already left with the players in the sixth group of the preliminaries. Ye Qin looked at the opponent's condition. He was not worried that Asafaville's current condition would not be able to advance to the next round.

This is the opponent, he doesn't need to worry too much.

Moreover, with Asafaville's strength, even if the preliminaries are not performed properly, the run is basically about 10 seconds and 20 seconds, which is enough for advancing to the next round.

After Asafaville left, Ye Qin calmed down and began to carefully check his number plate, sprint suit and spike shoes. The time was coming soon!
