Chapter 499 The Olympics are coming
On July 26, 2008, at the IAAF London Super Grand Prix, Asafaville won the championship with 9.94 seconds in the men's 100m event. Novel.
On July 29, 2008, at the IAAF Monaco Monte Carlo Super Grand Prix, Asafaville won the championship again with a time of 9.84 seconds.
Since the Stockholm Super Grand Prix, three consecutive IAAF Super Grand Prixes, Asafaville has achieved a run of less than 10 seconds, proclaiming his strong competitive strength in the men's 100m event.
With the end of the Airport Super Grand Prix, August has quietly approached, and the 29th Olympic Games in 2008 has arrived.
...
"Don't worry about me. We won't participate in the opening ceremony performance. But you, don't be too stressed, I support you! I won't say much, I'll go to rehearse, come on!"
"Okay, come on!"
On the morning of August 2, 2008, next to the track and field training ground of Beijing Sports University, Ye Qin sat on a folding chair. After sending the last text message, he stuffed his cell phone into his bag and stood up again.
The text message was sent by Chen Zixi. The two had not met for a while. Before, Ye Qin went abroad to compete in June and went to Poland with Su Bingtian in early July. After returning to China, the person went directly to Shenghai's training base.
The rehearsal time for the etiquette lady Chen Zixi has been very tight. Compared with the roughness of some foreign sports games in this regard, the Yanjing Olympics have basically been done very carefully and meticulously, and of course it is also very hard.
However, both of them are working hard for a sports meeting, which makes Ye Qin particularly different.
In the entire training room, athletes in the men's sprinting event were in full swing, whether from the equipment or the track, there were athletes everywhere.
"Ye Qin, did you go to the hospital for examination yesterday?"
Just as Ye Qin stood up and was about to return to the track and field field to continue training, he heard a familiar voice coming from behind him.
"Coach Sun, when did you arrive?" Ye Qin turned around and saw the person coming clearly, and immediately smiled. The person coming was not someone else, but the deputy head coach of the National Track and Field Team and the head coach of the men's 110-meter hurdles.
"Just two days after you, although Shenghai and Yanjing summer are hot, they still have to come over and adapt a little in advance." Sun Chaosheng looked up and down at Ye Qin and replied with a smile.
The sprint team had been training at Shenghai Xinzhuang Training Base for a while, but now it is August, and basically most of them have arrived in Yanjing to gather. On the one hand, it is adaptable to the climate, and on the other hand, it is necessary to start preparing to attend the opening ceremony on the 8th.
When the sprint team came back, they did not go with the 110-meter hurdles, and they had to be a few days in the morning, so Ye Qin was a little surprised when he saw Sun Chao's birth.
The Olympics will be the opening ceremony on August 8, but it will be until the 15th when the track and field competitions begin.
"By the way, I just asked you if you went to the hospital for a physical examination?" Sun Chaosheng walked to Ye Qin, looked at the other athletes training in the middle of the venue, and asked Ye Qin aside.
"I had already gone to the hospital for a comprehensive physical examination yesterday, and there was no problem in all aspects." Ye Qin was a little confused when he heard Sun Chaosheng ask this question again, but he nodded and replied with a smile.
After hearing Ye Qin's affirmative answer, Sun Chaosheng breathed a little relieved and then solemnly instructed: "You should not be careless, especially now, the training intensity should be as low as possible, mainly to maintain the state. If there is something wrong with normal circumstances, don't force yourself to support it, and you must communicate with the medical staff in time."
"Well, I'll go to the hospital for an examination in just two days. Everyone on the relay team is similar. I don't do major strength training now. The main thing is to do some foam roller elastic ball activation training."
Seeing that Sun Chaosheng was solemn, Ye Qin answered seriously.
As the Olympics approached quietly, it was not just him, but also many athletes who were about to participate, who began to prepare for the final preparations.
This preparation is different from other competitions. It is not about practicing hard, but rather, physical adjustments occupy a larger part.
Especially for many champion seeds that compete in the Olympics, almost every coach has repeatedly given advice during this period, for fear that there will be injuries before the Olympics.
"Coach Sun, why did you suddenly ask about this?" Ye Qin looked at Sun Chaosheng's expression, and then seemed to have thought of something, and asked, "How is Brother Yang Yu's injury? Will there be any problems participating in the competition then?"
Since Liu Yangyu was injured and retired from the New York Grand Prix in May, Ye Qin has heard of it. He had not seen Liu Yangyu before training at the Xinzhuang training base. Seeing Sun Chaosheng's question, Ye Qin had a slight bad premonition in his heart.
In the men's 110-meter hurdles event, Liu Yangyu was the hot spot for winning the championship. However, he was injured in May, and Dai Long-Rober set the men's 100-meter world record in June. Under this pressure, Ye Qin knew that both Liu Yangyu and Sun Chaosheng were under tremendous pressure.
"The current state is not particularly good, right?" Sun Chaosheng sighed softly, "But the game should be possible. If you want to win the championship, it may be a bit difficult."
Ye Qin was not too surprised when he heard Sun Chaosheng say this. The official did not hide much about Liu Yangyu. There was another report on Xinhuanet that Liu Yangyu might find it difficult to win the Olympics.
However, such news has been somewhat submerged in the current fanatical atmosphere of the whole country. Ordinary people basically don’t care much. Only athletes like Ye Qin and others will pay attention to it.
"It is possible that you can play the game. Brother Yang Yu is a big-scale player."
When Ye Qin heard that Liu Yangyu was able to play, he obviously gave him a sigh of relief. What he was most afraid of was that Liu Yangyu could not play. In this case, it would be like an earthquake for many people.
"You're so light, that Robles, have you encountered it in Ostrava before?" Sun Chaosheng shook his head slightly and said helplessly.
Liu Yangyu is not in good condition now, but his opponent is rising strongly, which can be said to be internal and external troubles, which makes him, the head coach, almost worried that he can't fall asleep all night.
"Robs' performance this year is very good." Ye Qin nodded when he heard Sun Chaosheng talking about Cuban player Dai Long Robles.
This year, Dai Long Robles has obviously reached its outbreak year, and has achieved good results of 12.87 seconds, 12.88 seconds, 12.91 seconds and 12.96 in various competitions. It can be said that he is coming in full force.
According to Ye Qin's understanding, Liu Yangyu's hard power this year is about 12 seconds 95, which should be slightly worse than his condition in 2006 and 2007.
Of course, you must not be able to calculate so simply when you really go on the stadium. First of all, Liu Yangyu had already shown a situation of winning more in the competition against Roberts a few years ago, and he naturally had psychological advantages.
Liu Yangyu has participated in the Olympics and is a few years older than Roberts. He has more experience in various competitions. These are advantages. Moreover, Liu Yangyu is a competition-type player. In the competition, coupled with his home court advantage, it is not impossible to defeat Roberts in the end.
Facing a top athlete who has been under his belt for a long time, although Robles is in good shape, he may not be able to win in the field.
This is just like Ye Qin, who participated in the competition before, in addition to his hard strength, his personal mentality is a very important part of his final victory in the field.
"When the news that Robles broke the Yangyu world record came, we really thought about trying. However, after your news came back, I changed my mind." Sun Chaosheng talked about the news that Robles broke the world record in June, when he and Liu Yangyu were both in the indoor training ground.
The feeling at that moment really wanted to let Liu Yangyu continue training during the injury and fight with Robles in the Olympics.
During that half hour, both of him and Liu Yangyu felt an unprecedented pressure.
As if it were the essence, it seemed to be about to crush them and lie down.
Liu Yangyu had decided to give up recuperating his injuries and go all out to fight. Although Robles's 12.87 world record was terrifying, Liu Yangyu had an amazing result of 12.82 seconds on the training ground, so even when facing Robles's world record, both the master and the apprentice began to have a willing attitude and decided to fight once.
But unexpectedly, after only more than half an hour, the news that Ye Qin regained the man's 100-meter world record and then came back.
This made Liu Yangyu breathe a sigh of relief, and Sun Chaosheng also changed his mind.
At that time, the man's 100-meter world record was just hidden by the Jamaicans, and then he lost the man's 110-meter world record, which will undoubtedly bring a certain confidence impact to the track and field team!
Fortunately, it was not long before, and soon the news that Ye Qin broke the man's 100-meter world record again came back.
With Ye Qin's achievements, the media's attention and focus, and even a lot of pressure no longer fell on Liu Yangyu.
China's track and field athletics is no longer the only one who takes the lead, so Liu Yangyu doesn't have to risk further aggravate his injuries and try hard to train and prepare for the battle when he has injuries.
It’s not that there is no chance, but if I continue to practice excessively without recovering from injury just to defeat Dai Long Robles, it’s really hard to say what the situation is now.
Judging from Liu Yangyu's situation that has not been fully recovered, Sun Chaosheng felt that it was undoubtedly a blessing to not be able to go up and stand it.
After hearing Sun Chaosheng's explanation, Ye Qin smiled and said, "Brother Yang Yu can recover from his injury. Although this year's Olympics in Yanjing are rare, it won't be necessary to fight this whole career. Besides, there are me, Yang Yao, Zhang Pei Meng and others, our track and field team is not weak."
The Olympics are coming, and the pace is getting closer and closer! But it is not one or two athletes that support Chinese sports and track and field, but many people are together.
"Yes." After Sun Chaosheng and Ye Qin said something, his whole body seemed to be getting better. "We are very strong now. Although Yang Yu has not recovered completely, his recovery is not bad now. I may have put some pressure on you, so you should pay more attention. You must not be injured recently."
"It's not considered pressure." Ye Qin replied with a smile, his eyes seemingly becoming a little deeper.
At this moment, he thought of the scene when he went abroad to participate in the World Youth Championship. It was his first time to go abroad and participate in a major competition.
When Ye Lidong asked him if he was ready?
There was always a voice in his heart answering: I am preparing for this moment in my life!—
