Chapter 488 Czech Ostrava Grand Prix

Ostrava is a city in the northeast of the Czech Republic. It is the capital of the Moravian-Silesia region. It is close to Poland. The city is established at the intersection of the four rivers of the Oder, the Opava, the Ostrovice and the Lucina River. It has become an important industrial center because it is located in the core of the main coalfield.

Since the 1990s, Ostrava has become a modern cultural city with many theaters, galleries and other cultural facilities. Ostrava hosts various cultural and sports events throughout the year, and later generations became one of the famous sports cities in Europe in 2014.

Ostrava has a long tradition of hosting top European and world championships. It hosted the World Women's Volleyball Championship in 1986, the World Weightlifting Championships in 1987, and the European Bodybuilding Championships and the World Junior Hockey Championships in 1992 and 1993. It also hosted the Iihf World Hockey Championships at the Aréna Sports Stadium in 2004.

Since 1961, Ostrava has held the Golden Summit International Track and Field Competition. Except for the fact that it was not held in 1999 because it had no sponsors, it is held almost every year.

In its decades of history, the Ostrava Golden Spicy International Track and Field Competition has set many track and field records. Among them, it is worth mentioning that in 1973, East German athlete Reinat Stechel set the world record of 100 meters and 10 seconds 9 for women at that time (notes), and in 1975, Cuban player Silvio Leonard set the world record of 100 meters and 9 seconds 9 for men at that time (notes).

After the Ostrava Golden Spicy International Track and Field Competition became one of the stops of the IAAF Grand Prix in 2003, the Ostrava Grand Prix was welcomed by many athletes from the world, and a large number of athletes come to participate every year.

When Ye Qin came down from Ostrava International Airport, he felt quite different.

This is his first time to come to the Czech Republic. Although he has participated in many Grand Prix and Golden Leagues, he has never been to Ostrava.

The climate in Ostrava is quite good. Compared with this time, the temperature in many places in China has gradually risen. The climate in Ostrava is cool and the air is fresh, which makes people feel like they open their minds.

"The day after tomorrow, Yusé Bot did not participate in the men's 100m competition this time. He participated in the men's 200m. Your head-on battle should not be so fast."

After getting on the vehicle arranged by the event organizing committee from Ostrava Airport, Chen Zhongzhou quickly got the subsequent competition arrangement from the organizing committee.

"I just broke the world record and I will definitely not continue running the man 100 meters for the time being."

Ye Qin heard Chen Zhongzhou say that Yusé Bor did not participate in the men's 100-meter project, and although he had some speculations in his heart, he was still a little disappointed.

This is actually a very normal situation. Just like after he tied the world record and broke the world record, he basically reduced his participation in order to prepare for the Olympics.

This situation did not happen to him alone, like Yusé Bot. After Ye Qin's men's 100m world record in the New York Grand Prix, the focus of the subsequent competitions will not continue to be on the men's 100m event, but will instead run 200m.

The reason is that the psychological advantages of the world record accumulated at this time need to be maintained so as not to lose to the opponent in other events, which will affect this newly established mentality and also give the opponent a psychological advantage.

"That's true!"

Chen Zhongzhou nodded. He was basically very familiar with the various arrangements in international competitions. After looking through the list of players for a while, he continued, "The contestants in the competition have many old faces."

Today is June 10th, and the start of the Ostrava Grand Prix is ​​June 12th.

This year's Ostrava Grand Prix brings together a large number of athletes from all over the world. Compared with the Grand Prix in Japan and the United States, domestic players basically account for more than the average number. Ostrava is a truly international competition, bringing together top athletes from all over the world.

As for the list Chen Zhongzhou received, it does not mean that there are no athletes from the Czech Republic participating, but basically like the Shenghai Grand Prix, there are only one or two domestic athletes participating, and there will be no eight players, and the domestic players occupy five or six.

As the Olympics approaches, many international athletes have begun to seize the time to show off their faces in various events, use competitions instead of training, and prepare for the upcoming Olympics.

In all kinds of Grand Prix and Golden Leagues during the competition year, many athletes who have not appeared for a long time can often be seen.

Ye Qin flipped through the results list from Chen Zhongzhou and saw several familiar faces that he hadn't seen for a while, American player John Capel.

The men's 200m champion at the 2003 World Championships once had a fight with Ye Qin in 2005. However, in June 2006, John Capel was suspended for two years for taking banned drugs.

This Ostrava Grand Prix is ​​the first stop for the opponent's comeback. However, whether John Capel can participate in this year's Olympics depends on whether the opponent's performance in the National American Trials this month is excellent. With the current talents in the American track and field industry, Ye Qin is not optimistic about the opponent.

Not to mention others, it is not easy for Sean Crawford to make it out in the National Trials even if he wins the men's 200-meter Olympic champion in 2004.

At this time, Jason Gaby almost steadily occupied two places for men's 100 meters and 200 meters. In addition, Wallace Spirmont also has strong strength in the 200-meter event.

...

On the other side, in a hotel room in Ostrava.

Glen Mills looked at the contestants, with a bit of solemn expression on his round face, and waved to Yusé Bot, who was listening to music in the room.

"Yuse, Ye Qin is here to participate."

"That's great! I haven't seen him for a long time."

Yusé Bot put down his headphones and was stunned for a moment, then grinned and smiled and replied.

Yusé Bot has actually been looking forward to the contest with Ye Qin for a long time. During the New York Grand Prix, he made a special trip with Spearmon to ask Liu Yangyu.

"You are participating in the men's 200m competition, and he is participating in the men's 100m." Glenn Mills smiled and shook the list of participants in his hand. "Aren't you worried that he will take your world record again?"

"Worried?" Yusé Bot shook his head, "No need, I know he can do it. Even if it is not this game, the next game, the next game, he still has the strength and ability to break the world record."

As he said that, Yusai Bot paused, "But, he can do this ability. Coach, you know the best results I ran during training. Ye Qin is a strong opponent. I need to give my all to face him.

I think our battlefield will be in the Olympic finals, 100 meters for men and 200 meters for men, we will face it head-on."

Glen Mills chuckled, "Yes, Yous, you are the most talented sprinter I have ever met. You are becoming more and more mature now. What you need is victory, one victory after another. When it comes to the Yanjing Olympics, I believe you should surprise everyone."

Yusé Bot nodded with a smile, but now he needs enough victory to build his absolute strong confidence.

In the past few years, although he has performed very well, he has always been under the head in the international arena, such as Asafaville, Jason Gaby, and Ye Qin, which has made him join the ranks of the best players, but he has won not many major championships.

This year he broke the world record and defeated Jason Gaby head-on, which made him believe that he could have a strong psychological advantage when facing Jason Gaby in the future.

Facing Ye Qin, he still can't say that he thinks he can beat the other party. After all, he has always lost a lot in the past few fights.

He needs a game to defeat Ye Qin, but it will not be now, but in the Olympics. At that time, he believes that if he defeated Ye Qin himself, no one will be able to stop him on this planet.

But... in the day after tomorrow, will Ye Qin unexpectedly break the record again?

Yusé Bott is a little uncertain about this. As a sprinter, champion, gold medal, and world record, these things are almost all pursuits engraved in his bones. If it were him, he might not be able to accept the world record he kept in just one week.

If Ye Qin really set a new record in this game, then his world record will seem to be only lasting more than ten days, less than two weeks?!d
