Chapter 502 The second round of the 100m(1/2)
Chapter 502
"It's already reached this point. You two can completely remove your burden and go and run away!"
At 18 o'clock in the evening, on the warm-up field of the athletes next to the Bird's Nest Stadium, there was an assistant coach of the men's 4x100m relay race and coach Li Qi, director of the Sports Department of Shuimu University. Looking at the sweaty Gu Kai and Zhang Pei Meng, there was a smile that could not be hidden in the corners of their eyes.
"To be honest, I didn't expect you to be able to do this. Not only me, I have seen your performance, but the people of the whole country have seen your performance. It is already outstanding enough. In the subsequent competitions, the level of the players will get higher and higher. Your goal is to advance to the next round of semi-finals. It is the best to advance, and it doesn't matter if you can't advance. What is the specific situation, it is the situation, and there is nothing to hide."
Gu Kai and Zhang Pei Meng are both athletes he once led. The potential and talent in sprint events are obvious to all, but both brothers can advance to the rematch in the men's 100m event, which has greatly exceeded his initial expectations.
For him personally, or in terms of the opponents he is about to face and the actual situation, being able to reach this point is almost the limit of the strength of the two. Whether he can advance to the next semi-final is no longer the most important thing for Li Qi.
"I understand, coach."
Gu Kai and Zhang Pei Meng looked at each other and nodded.
Li Qi's coach is not particularly nice, but as the head coach before the two, he is talking about the actual situation in terms of their usual performance.
Zhang Peimeng directly advanced to the rematch with the third place in the group, while Gu Kai entered the rematch in the last ten places. Neither of them was the one who ranked high.
In the rematch, there are five rematch groups, with a total of forty athletes participating. Each group has directly advanced to the top three, and then a best result is added, with a total of sixteen athletes participating in the semi-finals.
Compared to the preliminary round, there is no doubt that the form in the rematch is much more serious.
"It has reached this point, so I still have to try it out!"
Zhang Peimeng had made up his mind to do his best to fight for it no matter what. For a sprinter, everyone understands that it is very difficult to participate in the Olympics. Since he has stood on this stadium, he must do his best to improve his ranking in the men's 100m competition in the Olympics.
Coach Li Qi is decompressing them. The feeling of the Olympics is really completely different from the feeling of participating in other competitions, especially at the Dangzhisheng Bird's Nest Stadium. In the boiling atmosphere of the audience, it seemed that his heart was pounding wildly at one moment, as if it was about to pop out of his mouth.
Gu Kai also understood this, but he was a few years older than Zhang Pei Meng, and he understood more clearly that some things are difficult to achieve by relying solely on their own desires and ideas, and ultimately they have to be implemented in strength.
The best result of the two was only around 10 seconds 20, and basically only succeeded once so far, and qualified for the Olympic A-target competition.
On a stage like the Olympics, if you want to advance to the semi-finals in the rematch, even if the competition has not started, there are basically some guesses, and you have to have a chance within 10 seconds and 20 seconds.
Li Qi looked at the expressions of the two, shook his head slightly, smiled, and did not continue to say anything more.
It was beyond his expectations for the performance of the two, and he believed that after this Olympics, the growth of their mentality should be further improved.
On the other hand, Yuan Guohua and Chen Zhongzhou were surrounding Ye Qin who was lying on a massage chair for pre-match warm-up massage.
Zhuang Wei carefully gave Ye Qin a physical therapy for his leg muscles and back muscles to prevent him from having a severe breakdown and getting injured when he suddenly exerted force on the field.
"Ye Qin, when you are on the court, don't think about anything else."
Yuan Guohua frowned slightly, looked at Ye Qin lying on the massage table, paused for a moment, and then said, "Among these athletes, you basically beat them, and you don't need to put pressure on yourself. It's almost the same as you should."
Others may not have seen the tension that Ye Qin encountered in the preliminary round, but Yuan Guohua and Chen Zhongzhou found some clues about Ye Qin.
Both of them originally thought that with Ye Qin's psychological quality, there shouldn't be too nervous in these preliminary rounds and rematches. The real tension may be in the men's 100m final tomorrow night.
Unexpectedly, although Ye Qin was still qualified to advance with the first place in the preliminaries in the end, his previous performance after the start could be seen to be quite stiff.
"Yes, this is not very similar to your performance. We are still waiting for you to break the world record in the final tomorrow!"
Chen Zhongzhou next to him seemed to want to ease the atmosphere, and then said with a smile.
"Yes!" Zhuang Wei, who was doing physical therapy for Ye Qin, also echoed, "I have always felt that you are adapting to big scenes and will not be scared by this small situation."
Ye Qin turned his head and looked at the few people comforting him, but his expression was obviously more nervous than him. He immediately laughed, "Guide Yuan, Brother Chen, Brother Zhuang, you don't have to look at me like this. I have no problem now."
As he said that, he paused a little, "I didn't expect that during the preliminary round, maybe because I haven't participated in the competition in the past two months. When the atmosphere at the scene rushed, I felt a little confused, but now there is no problem, so I have almost completely adjusted it."
"Yeah." Yuan Guohua looked at Ye Qin as usual and breathed a sigh of relief. "I made some mistakes in the preparations for the Olympics before, which made you leave the arena for too long. Suddenly, such a warm scene still had a certain psychological impact."
Ye Qin's preparation plan was nodded and approved. Because the project Ye Qin was going to participate in was not a simple man with 100 meters, and there were 200 meters and 400 meters, as well as 4x100 meters relays.
In the past two months, whether it is preparation for battle or adjustment and rest, it will help Ye Qin to lose physical fitness in the Olympics.
But the only problem is that the pressure the Olympics has caused to athletes is not enough. The lack of competition during this period makes Ye Qin suddenly unable to hold on in the preliminary round.
Chen Zhongzhou nodded beside him. After hearing what Ye Qin said, he probably knew why Ye Qin's performance was a bit abnormal during the preliminary round.
Including many articles and netizens recently, they are actually waiting and watching whether Ye Qin can defeat Yusai Bot and other strong players to win the men's 100m championship.
One of the biggest reasons is that after the Ostrava Super Grand Prix in June, Ye Qin did not participate in any competitions.
He didn't participate in the competition for two months and suddenly wanted to participate in a major competition like the Olympics. Many people think that Ye Qin's condition may not meet expectations.
"After running the preliminary round, my mentality has been much more relaxed."
Standing up from the massage table, Ye Qin moved his muscles slightly and smiled confidently at the few people, "If you have a preliminary match, you will get the feeling of the game back, and the next thing will go smoothly, don't worry!"
"come on!"
Several people clapped Ye Qin and clapped.
The athletes are about to go to the stadium. At this time, what the outsiders next to them will say will ultimately be the ones involved in the final analysis.
At 19:45 pm, the second round of the men's 100m rematch officially began.
In five rematch groups, each of them has almost 7 minutes of competition time.
Ye Qin played in the first group of the rematch this time, but when Ye Qin appeared in the Bird's Nest Stadium, the stadium stands with more than 70,000 people in the audience were suddenly in full bloom.
The stars were constantly flashing in the audience. They were the cameras carried by many spectators who came to watch the game. The spotlights flashed, and there was a feeling of stars in the night sky.
In the media seat area, not to mention the shooting tools of long guns and short cannons are basically aimed at the eight players in front of the man's 100-meter starting line.
At the same time, the list of players in the first group of the men's 100-meter rematch was played on the big screen of the Bird's Nest Stadium.
The first route, Dariuscook, Poland;
The second route, Henry Vizkano, Cuba;
The third path, Kurandi Martina, Antilles of the Netherlands;
The fourth way, Ye Qin, China;
The fifth road, Naoki Tsukahara, Japan;
The sixth path, Michael Flat, Jamaica;
The seventh road, Pierre Brown, Canada;
The eighth road, Simon Williamson, UK;
Standing on the fourth runway of the man 100 meters, Ye Qin took a long breath, then slowly exhaled, slowly adjusting his breathing.
Compared with the players present, he should be said to be a little younger in terms of age, but in terms of experience in the competition, he is already the richest.
Needless to say, the early experience of participating in the competition is important. After the experience of several major competitions, his experience in facing various major competitions is one of the top players in this competition.
After the first round of preliminaries, his mentality was completely corrected at this time, and he gradually put aside all the various emotions and thoughts that were mixed before the game.
This is the mentality and coping ability he has developed in countless major competitions. The reason why the week in the first round of preliminaries is that he has participated less recently. After all, it is the Olympic Games held in his own country. Openly and secretly, all kinds of tangible and invisible pressures are almost everywhere.
After running the preliminary round, after asking for the feeling of depression, Ye Qin was still worried at this moment, but this was already completely under the pre-match tension that he could control.
He is familiar with this tension and has nothing to do with an athlete's mentality. It is caused by the internal pressure of his pursuit of final competition results.
As long as he still pursues the championship, it will inevitably arise.
However, such tension will not have any negative effects on his performance, but will be more conducive to his ability to devote his body and mind to the game.
At this time, Ye Qin was actually secretly grateful. Fortunately, his mentality was unbalanced and broke out in the first round of preliminaries. If he had been suppressed, the next few rounds of games would probably have a great impact on him.
Tension and worry before the game may be superimposed. Many athletes often perform amazingly in the first and second round of the preliminary semi-finals, but in the final of the critical semi-finals, there are no strong hearts to face, and such situations are everywhere.
Not to mention that he will participate in other events later, if he appears in the semi-finals and finals tomorrow, it may cause him to be unable to fully display his strength when facing other opponents.
"There is nothing to worry about, just keep your mind and run!"
Ye Qin stood at the starting line, looked up and took a deep breath. Within his eyes, countless people were shouting his name in the audience stands, and the camera lenses next to him were also stuck on him for a long time.
But he had subconsciously ignored all of these. At this time, he seemed to have only the runway and the finish line in front.
After the voice of the contestant being in place, Ye Qin stepped on the runner. After eliminating his self-doubt and worry, he was able to restore his mentality of participating in the competition and face it calmly.
Among the eight players present, he was not familiar with several athletes, but the strongest ones, such as Currandy Martina and Michael Flat, have had many experience in fighting each other, so there are not many players who can really put pressure on him. At his level, the opponents challenged are at least in the semi-finals and finals, and what needs to be overcome and faced is to adjust your own mentality.
Bang!
A crisp match gunfire sounded.
At the moment when the gunfire sounded, Ye Qin suddenly stepped on the runner with both feet and rushed out like an arrow.
Starting reaction: 0.143 seconds
Very good among the players in this group. The reaction time of Kurandi Martina of the Netherlands Antilles was 0.142 seconds, and the British player Simon in the eighth lane was 0.127 seconds. Ye Qin was closely behind the two, and it seemed to be different from Kurandi Martina.
After starting, just ten meters later, Ye Qin gradually emerged from the eight players and began to gain a certain lead.
His ability to accelerate the first half of the start is getting stronger and stronger. Perhaps there is still a gap compared to a textbook-like start like Asafaville, but it is definitely not too far.
After ten meters, he had already gained the advantage of half a position, and then twenty meters and thirty meters gradually began to lead the entire competition.
Except for Currandy Martina and Michael Flat who could barely keep up, the others were thrown away in just thirty meters.
Forty meters, fifty meters, sixty meters...
Ye Qin's speed was increasing faster and faster. At this time, he could clearly feel that he had gained the lead, but his speed did not start to decline.
In the men's 100-meter race, the top three in a group advanced. For the sake of safety, at least he will not start to slow down at this time.
To be continued...
