The 2009 Berlin World Championships is the largest number of participating so far. The number of participating countries reached 202, and the number of athletes was 2,101, totaling 47 events for men and women.

August 21 is the seventh day of this World Championships, but including the eighth and ninth days, the cumulative ticket sales have reached 400,000.

In 1936, a special time factor at that time, the most attractive match of the Berlin Olympics was the long jump showdown between German player Carl Ludwig and American player Jesse Owens.

In this game, Carl Ludwig once led Jesse Owens, but he discovered Jesse Owens' technical problems from the game and gave Jesse Owens a pertinent suggestion. In the end, Jesse Owens won the gold medal in the long jump under the advice of Carl Ludwig.

The sports competition and sports friendship between Carl Ludwig and Jesse Owens have become the most talked about in the sports world over decades.

The Olympic Stadium, the home stadium of the Berlin World Championships, was the place where the two met back then. In order to commemorate the two players, the organizers of the event will give a reward of $100,000 to any athlete who broke the world record in this World Championships.

At 22 o'clock in the evening, when Ye Qin stepped into the Berlin Olympic Stadium, he unconsciously remembered the story of Jesse Owens and Carl Ludwig telling him about the long-distance finals in the past when he was in high school.

In that special era, political elements were mixed into sports.

The German head of state watched the long jump competition on the spot, hoping to boost national morale with the spirit of sports. It is an extremely rare scene for an athlete on the field to help his competitors with his sincerity and sportsmanship.

Ye Qin sometimes felt particularly admirable about the competitive spirit of the two athletes at that time. As for the prize money given by the organizer this time for the athletes who broke the world record, he did not take it particularly seriously.

He has broken two world records in this World Championships and has become the only player at present. Prizes are no longer the most important goal of his competitive choice, but the charm of his competitive sports is attracting him.

Some sports players find it difficult to surpass their goals after achieving certain achievements. After winning various Grand Slam championships, they may become slack.

However, track and field is different, especially in sprint events. Every progress and regression can be calculated in precise time, ten seconds, tens of seconds, and thousands of minutes.

Standing behind the track, Ye Qin gently adjusted his breathing and relaxed his tense mood for days. In this men's 400-meter final, he was thinking deeply that he would let go and run.

No matter what kind of results you can achieve now, you can win or lose to your opponent, go all out!

...

In the entire stadium audience, the number of spectators tonight was no less than when the man was 100 meters and the man was 200 meters before. Many spectators sat in their seats and gave warm welcome and applause when they saw Ye Qin appear on the stadium.

From this year's Berlin Golden League to this year's men's 100m and men's 200m finals in this World Championships, Ye Qin's performance has completely conquered this stadium and the city.

Many viewers who had just watched Ye Qin's matches on TV have become his fans after watching Ye Qin's crazy performance in two finals on the spot.

They witnessed the emergence of a great legend in track and field history!

Now, this legend will challenge his next game again in this stadium, the men's 400m final, countless people are looking forward to what kind of sparks he will burst out with other best athletes on the planet.

Yusé Bot was wearing a baseball cap and sat in the audience with his parents, quietly waiting for the men's 400m final.

For him, there is only one relay race left for this World Championships that he needs to continue running. Now, he can sit on the sidelines and watch the 400-meter final.

No longer a challenger, no longer an opponent, just a friend to watch whether Ye Qin can complete the feats that were not completed in the Osaka World Championships and the Yanjing Olympics alone won three championships in the men's sprint event in the World Championships or Olympics.

"Brother, I believe you can definitely do it! You are the one who defeated me, Yusé Bott!"

An inexplicable thought appeared in Yusé Bott's heart, his mouth raised lightly, and he grinned and applauded gently on the sidelines.

The competition in track and field is limited to the field. After two games, the showdown between him and Ye Qin has come to an end for the time being. The next challenge should be at the 2011 World Championships and the 2012 Olympics.

Now, he just gave encouragement and applause to this opponent who could win both the men's 100m and 200m events.

If you can defeat my opponent, you should be able to defeat anyone on this planet!

...

"...Ye Qin faced a 400-meter match in this men's 400-meter match. Jimmy Warner, the treble champion of the Athens Olympics in 2004 and World Championships in 2005 and 2007. Jimmy Warner was not in very good shape since 2008, but he has run into 44 seconds many times and is still the best 400-meter athlete on the planet.

The other one is Sean Merritt, who and Jimmy Warner are both American players. In last year's Olympic Trials and Olympics, Merritt defeated Jimmy Warner, who is considered to be Ye Qin's strongest competitor in the men's 400m. Before the game, Sean Merritt also expressed his determination to compete with Ye Qin for the men's 400m championship in this World Championships. This year, Sean Merritt and Jimmy Warner both maintained unbeaten results in the season...

OK, the information of the eight contestants on the big screen on the scene has been printed out..."

Accompanied by Mu Jiang's commentary, many domestic audiences who woke up in the morning and yawned all over the sky, waiting to watch the game, woke up at this time.

The time in Berlin is seven hours longer than that in China, and it is five o'clock in the morning the next day in China.

In front, Ye Qin had stayed up late to watch the man's 100 meters and the man's 200 meters. This time, the man's 400 meters will not be missed. Everyone is looking forward to Ye Qin's outstanding performance in this men's 400 meters competition.

In the World Championships, Ye Qin basically had games from the first day of the start to the last day of the game, which also made many domestic commentators laugh at him, as if he was watching the World Cup, one game after another.

After Mu Jiang's voice fell, the 400-meter race list of the men on the scene and on the large screen in front of the TV appeared in front of everyone:

First, David Kirico, Ireland;

The second route, Rennie Que, Trinidad and Tobago;

The third way, Ye Qin, China;

The fourth road, Sean Merritt, United States;

The fifth lane, Chris Brown, the Bahamas;

The Sixth Road, Jimmy Warner, United States;

On the seventh road, Tabari Henry, the US Virgin Islands;

The eighth road, Michael Bingham, United Kingdom;

Ye Qin was in the third lane in this game. His previous performance in the 400m semi-finals was not particularly outstanding. Like the 200m event, he did not occupy a particularly strong position in the passage arrangement.

However, compared to the seventh lane of the 200m project, it is obvious that the third lane this time is quite good. At least two of his competitors are in front and can clearly grasp their position.

Standing in the third position, after participating in the men's 100m and 200m finals one after another, Ye Qin's mentality was very balanced about the men's 400m competition.

From entering the venue, I briefly remembered the history of the stadium that Nie Fangming had told him, and soon focused on the game in front of me.

Compared with last year's Olympics and the World Championships two years ago, most of the opponents he needs to face in the entire track and field are familiar people.

Especially the top ones are all familiar faces.

This is also the norm for track and field competitive sports. A player who has reached the top level will basically be a regular visitor to various major competitions at the peak of his career, regardless of whether he wins the award or not.

If Asafaville said, the real competition was not the pressure from the players, because the people were still those, they just changed the name and venue, and if they had something to ask for, they would feel different pressure.

After a brief stretch on the field, Ye Qin quickly heard the sound of the placement command "on your marks!".

He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it, adjusting his competitive state to the best, and Ye Qin walked onto the already debugged runner.

"...The competition is about to begin! There is a tense atmosphere in the entire Berlin Stadium. We will wait and see if Ye Qin can win the 400-meter championship in this World Championship again!"

As Mu Jiang's voice ended, no matter the audience in the Olympic Stadium or the audience watching the game in front of the TV, they couldn't help but sit upright.

The stadium of 70,000 people gradually became quiet at this time.

“Set!”

Bang!

The gunshots of the game sounded instantly!

At the moment when the gunfire sounded, Ye Qin kicked his legs on the runner and ran out immediately.

Although there is still a relay behind, for Ye Qin, the most difficult game ahead has basically ended. This 400-meter final can be run without any scruples.

However, although he was letting go of running, he did not do his best to increase his speed to the highest level after starting.

Instead, he controls his own speed rhythmically. He is already a veteran athlete and knows what kind of game he should adopt.

Since the start, Ye Qin followed Sean Merritt slowly and controlled his speed based on the opponent's speed.

However, after thirty meters, Ye Qin clearly discovered that Jimmy Warner on the sixth path outside was very fast, and it can be said that he started sprinting forward quickly since the start.

At the 0-100m stage, the top 400m athletes will probably control their speed to about 11 seconds. This result is not fast for many 100m athletes, but in the 400m event, this speed is already extremely amazing.

Because the next second 100 meters and the third 100 meters do not require starting acceleration, and basically all athletes can run within 11 seconds.

Of course, for Ye Qin, it was very easy to maintain a speed of about 11 seconds in the first 100 meters. However, in this final, he obviously discovered that Jimmy Warner's speed should have reached 11 seconds after the start.

At the same time, Mu Jiang's voice sounded at the same time: "...Ye Qin's starting is very steady and is accelerating! Jimmy Warner ran very fast in front, just like when he was in the Yanjing Olympics. This is his skill after changing his coach. Now it seems that although he returned to the old coach, he did not change his skills... Merritt began to accelerate and overtake!!"

In the first 100 meters, Jimmy Warner led almost all other players and ran to the first position, but in the second 100 meters, Sean Merritt's speed began to gradually increase and began to catch up with Jimmy Warner from behind.

Ye Qin, who followed Sean Merritt, was also very stable in speed, and did not suddenly surpass Sean Merritt, but just kept a distance not to be thrown away by the other party.

In terms of absolute speed, if he runs with all his strength at a distance of 200 meters, he can beat Sean Merritt and Jimmy Warner for more than 1 second.

But the second half of the 400-meter race is the key!

Straight into the bend!

Start from 200 meters to 300 meters!

This distance can be said to be a crucial distance for 400 meters players and is also the best opportunity to surpass and overtake.

At his peak, Jimmy Warner accelerated in the 250-meter stage and was an important technical feature of his dominance of the 400-meter project. This stage was even praised as "Warner Time".

But in this men's 400m final, it seems that Jimmy Warner changed his running skills from last year and focused his speed to the first half. He accelerated at the instant of 200-300m and did not appear again.

Not only did it not achieve the speed increase within 250 meters, but it was obviously slower than before!

But Sean Merritt seized this opportunity. Although his first 100m was slower than Jimmy Warner, his second 100m had already caught up and slightly ahead of Jimmy Warner.

By the third 100 meters, Sean Merritt controlled the speed significantly better.

The measurement criteria for whether a top 400-meter athlete is actually at this stage. In the first 100 meters and the second 100 meters, many excellent sprinters can run within 11 seconds. In the second 100 meters, because they do not need to start and accelerate, they can rise to between 10 seconds, 30-10 seconds, and 40 seconds, but after passing the first two 100 meters high-speed running, the third 100 meters, many players can no longer maintain their speed.

And if you can run within 11 seconds in the third 100 meters, the speed-keeping ability can be considered quite outstanding. Of course, this premise is that the race is a men's 400 meters race, not a 300-meter race.

Ye Qin's speed naturally dropped from the second 100 meters when he entered between 200 meters and 300 meters, but his excellent speed-keeping ability was not thrown away by Sean Merritt, and he still maintained his posture of running side by side with the opponent at a relative distance.

Just like most of the 100-meter and 200-meter races, the audience basically feels that the players are running faster and faster, but in fact the highest speed is only one to two, and the speed still fluctuates during this period.
