June 27, 2008, Eugene, Oregon, USA. Novel   .

The US Outdoor Championships have been held for three days, and the smoke is getting thick at Hayward Stadium.

Starting from June 27, Hayward Stadium will become a gathering place for American track and field athletes, and the competitions at the track and field are extremely fierce every day. The high-level competition in some of these events has reached or exceeded the Olympic and World Championships.

It is particularly worth mentioning that this year's US Outdoor Track and Field Championships is still the quadrennial Olympic Trials. The results of this event will be determined that athletes will qualify for the US Olympic team at the Summer Olympics held in Yanjing.

If athletes meet the Olympic A-level and win the top three in the event, they will be able to occupy a place in the Olympic delegation.

If an athlete wins the event but does not meet the Olympic A-level qualification or withdraws, the next best athlete with the A-level qualification will be selected to participate.

This time, the US Outdoor Track and Field Championships will last from June 27 to July 8, and will last for a total of ten days.

Different from many other countries with selection committees, the selection of the US Olympic team depends entirely on the results on the track. Whether it is the last Olympic champion or the World Championship, if he cannot meet the A-grade in the selection and win the top three, he will not be able to qualify for the competition.

Moreover, the US Olympic Trials are open to all citizens in the country who meet the A-level standards. Whether they are registered as professional track and field athletes, they can participate and receive certain subsidies.

Other American citizens who have reached the Olympic B-target can also register, but relatively speaking, they need to participate at their own expenses at some necessary expenses.

Because of its large scale and high number of contestants, the US Olympic Trials have always been known as the small Olympics. Since 1972, there have been at least 24 participating events in the US Olympic Trials, including the popular events of 100 meters, 200 meters, 400 meters and 110 meters hurdles, and at least 32 athletes can participate.

...

"Jason, what's wrong with you? I feel you are very nervous!"

In the warm-up area of ​​the players outside Hayward Stadium, Lance Bromann frowned and looked at Jason Gaby, who was sitting aside and gasping, and he felt something was wrong.

"I don't know, coach."

Jason Gaby lowered her head, a white towel around her neck, and sweat fell on her face. The warm-up just ended and was about to take part in the men's 100m preliminaries, but he didn't know why he suddenly became a little scared.

The Olympic Trials will last for ten days, and there are many people participating. In popular events like the men's 100m, from preliminaries to semi-finals and finals, four-shot victory will take two days.

This year is the first day of the trials. According to Jason Gaby's current momentum, he is the first man in the United States to 100 meters and 200 meters. Many of the audiences who came to Hayward Stadium to watch the game came for him.

But at the moment when he was about to play, he suddenly became nervous.

This is something he has never seen before in his more than ten years of competition.

"Are you afraid you can't do it, Jason?" Lance Broman sat down next to Jason Gaby. As a coach who brought Jason Gaby to a high level in track and field, he even knew Jason Gaby more than his parents and wife.

"9 seconds 70 and 9 seconds 72, coach, you know these are the results I have never run during the super wind." Jason Gaby's head was still low, his hands and feet trembled slightly, and the muscle lines on his dark skin were clear, as if showing the extremely uneasy mood of its owner at this moment.

From the Czech Republic's Grand Prix on June 12, news that Ye Qin once again broke the men's 100-meter world record and spread to the world, Jason Gaby felt unprecedented pressure.

There are many talents in the United States. The men's Olympic A-level 100-meter 200-meter Olympics can be achieved by dozens of people across the United States. But the current situation is that only Jason Gaby can compete head-on with the current popular Ye Qin and Yusai Bott.

Especially in the 100m, although other American athletes have excellent levels, they are obviously not even close to Jason Gaby since Morris Green retired in February this year and Jax Terling is suspended.

Before the trials began, several media and television stations interviewed Dorjason Gaby, asking him about his thoughts about Ye Qin and Yusé Bott's after breaking the world record, as well as their prospects for the Olympics, etc.

He expressed his strong confidence in the face of the interview, but before the Olympic selection, he suddenly felt a little unconfident.

Especially when he heard the huge noise from the audience in the stands of Hayward Stadium outside the court, the hesitation and uncertainty in his heart were so upset that he felt a little lost before the game.

"I can't help you, Jason!" Lance Broman sighed silently beside Jason Gaby. At this moment, Jason Gaby made him feel a little disappointed.

When losing to Youssie Bott in the New York Grand Prix, Jason Gaby was full of strong confidence, believing that he could also break the world record and win Youssie Bott.

But when news came that Ye Qin of Ostrava once again broke the world record, Jason Gaby faintly fell into self-doubt.

This is not because Jason Gaby's mentality is not strong enough, but because Ye Qin and Yusai Bott performed in May and June for a few years.

One holds the scores of 9 seconds 76 and 9 seconds 72, and the other is 9 seconds 70, 9 seconds 73 and 9 seconds 74!

In just less than two months, the world record was refreshed three times, and the strong strength shown by the two has already made other sprinters silent.

Jason Gaby's best run so far was 9.76 seconds. The 2007 New York Grand Prix ran under super wind speed. Compared with Ye Qin and Yusé Bott, the results were still worse than those under super wind speed.

Lance Broman knew he was just a coach. Although he still gave Jason Gaby training in the past two years since he entered prison, he gradually understood a truth.

That is, athletes cannot do without coaching, but in fact, more often, they need to rely on themselves.

The power of one's own heart, the power of one's own inner self.

At this time, Jason Gaby encountered some minor trouble, but he believed that Jason Gaby could overcome it himself.

Facing a strong opponent is not fear or retreat, but the courage to face difficulties and compete. Only such people can reach the peak.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Lance Broman and Jason Gaby were sitting there, not talking any further. The staff on the side of the dock came over to inform that the man's 100-meter preliminaries were about to begin.

Jason Gaby wiped the sweat on her forehead and neck with a towel, followed the staff to complete the check-in procedure, and prepared to enter the game with other athletes.

A few minutes later, the athlete entered the field.

Standing on the third track in front of the man's 100-meter starting line, Jason Gaby took deep breaths one after another to adjust his mentality.

The popularity of the US Olympic Trials has always been very high. Five major American TV networks have special sports channels to broadcast the events. As the most popular track and field athlete at present, he does not want others to see his poor condition now.

For him, he actually has no real opponent. Even Walter Dix, who has grown very rapidly in recent years, is much worse than him.

He just felt a little unconfident about his competition between Ye Qin and Yusai Bot, which led to his mentality being a little confused recently.

After a gunshot, the game began soon.

After the start, the opponent around him quickly broke out of the starting line. Jason Gaby's starting reaction was very slow, reaching an astonishing 0.274 seconds, and his movements were stiff. In just thirty meters ahead, he landed in the last of the eight players.

At this moment, the audience who watched the game through the five major TV networks, as well as all the audiences in Hayward Stadium, were extremely surprised.

Jason Gaby's start has never been particularly outstanding, but he has great strength and fast strides. Even though he is slower than a player like Asafaville, he has never been so slow.

As the number one player in the United States, Jason Gaby, who is currently the number one sprinter in the United States, was surprised by their performance after the gunfire sounded in this preliminary match.

Forty meters, fifty meters...

Jason Gaby's face and muscles twitched, the blue veins on her forehead and neck were swollen, and her eyes were frightened.

He is behind!

In the men's 100m event, he was surpassed by the other seven players who were far inferior to him.

In the stands of Hayward Stadium, the two Jason Gaby coaches, Lance Broman and Jon Drummond, looked as if they were blushing. At this moment, they saw that Jason Gaby's mentality still had not adjusted.

The whole running movement was stiff and deformed, completely losing the smooth feeling he usually had.

The men's 100-meter four-shot victory in the US Olympic Trials. In the preliminary round, more than 30 top 100-meter athletes in the United States participated. As long as the top four in the track group are in the first four, they can advance to the rematch.

Now is the first shot in the preliminary round. Jason Gaby, the most powerful sprinter in the United States, will become a laughing stock if he is eliminated in the preliminary round.

"What's wrong with Jason Gaby?"

Morris Green, who was hired as the live commentator by Fox TV, sat in the media commentator seat and could not say a word. More than ten seconds before the game, he was talking to the host around him, saying that Jason Gaby was the only American athlete in the United States who could compete with the two top 100-meter players Ye Qin and Yusé Bott.

He and Jason Gabby had a feud. At the 2005 Helsinki World Championships, the fledgling Jason Gabby and Wallace Spearmon were both newcomers, and veterans such as him and John Capel asked to carry their bags and pour water.

As a result, neither of them was convinced and even made the move to leave the US track and field team's residence and stay in a hotel, which caused a lot of controversy in the media at that time.

But since then, Jason Gaby has grown amazingly fast. Especially after Jax Terling was suspended, he almost instantly made up for the embarrassment of not having the top players in the 1200-meter sprint event in the United States.

Morris Green couldn't stand Jason Gaby, but he had to admit that Jason Gaby's talent and strength were more likely than him, and he was currently a star in the United States.

only……

"What are you thinking?!"

Morris Green had a thought in his mind, and he almost wanted to jump to the track and field to run this game instead of the opponent.

As the same top athlete, he knew that after his level reached a certain level, it would be easy for athletes like Jason Gaby to miss their performance and enter the finals, or to qualify for the top three.

But now, at this moment, he could hardly believe that Jason Gaby, who could easily run within 9.90 seconds in previous 100-meter races, actually landed at the end.

If Jason Gaby is eliminated in the preliminary round, Morris Green can say that he will laugh at the other party without hesitation. But as an American athlete who wants to participate in the Olympics, he doesn't want Jason Gaby to lose.

Because in the 100-meter event of the US sprint, if Jason Gaby loses the qualification to participate, the Jamaican and Chinese will be unstoppable.

"I can't lose!"

"I can't be eliminated!"

"I also want to participate in the Olympics, and I also want to face the two head-on with Ye Qin and Yusai Bot!"

When the race was fifty meters, it seemed that the exclamations and noise from the side of the field made the running Jason Gaby wake up, or returned to the familiar track, and the speed of running made him regain the familiar feeling and rhythm.

A strong impulse burst out from the bottom of his heart, which suddenly woke him up!

"What am I doing? I'm playing!!"

Looking at the track ahead, Jason Gaby suddenly realized that if he continued to run like this in just fifty meters, he might miss the most important race in his life!

"ah!"

In an instant, it seemed that the staff and referees on the sidelines heard a roar.

Jason Gaby, who was running in the third lane, suddenly exploded and his speed increased almost instantly.

"oh!"

A sound that sounded almost at the same time swept across the stadium, and all the spectators in the stands couldn't help but stand up at this moment.

In the men's 100-meter race, Jason Gaby suddenly broke out.

At a distance of about fifty meters, from the last one, he suddenly started to accelerate and chased after him frantically.

Sixty meters...
