Born to Run

Ostrava is a city in the northeastern part of the Czech Republic. It is the capital of the Moravia-Silesia region. It is close to Poland. The city is established on the Oder, Opava, Ostravice and Lu The confluence of the four rivers of the China River has become an important industrial center because of its location at the core of the main coal field.

Since the 1990s, Ostrava has become a modern cultural city with numerous theaters, galleries and other cultural facilities. Ostrava hosts various cultural and sports events throughout the year, and later generations became one of Europe's famous sports cities 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 Championship in 1987, and the European Bodybuilding Championship and the World Junior Ice Hockey Championship in 1992 and 1993. In 2004, the IIHF World Ice Hockey Championship was held at the Aréna Stadium in Ostrava.

Since 1961, Ostrava has been hosting the Golden Spike International Track and Field Competition. It has been held almost every year except in 1999 because it did not have a sponsor.

In its decades of history, the Ostrava Golden Spike International Athletics Championships have set many track and field records. Among them, it is worth mentioning that in 1973, East German athlete Renate Stecher created the women’s record at the time. The world record of 10 seconds 9 in 100 meters (notes), and in 1975 the Cuban player Silvio Leonard created the world record of 9 seconds 9 in 100 meters (notes).

After the Ostrava Golden Spike International Athletics Championship became one of the stops of the IAAF Grand Prix in 2003, the Ostrava Grand Prix has been welcomed by many athletes from all over the world, and there are a large number of athletes every year. Come to the competition.

When Yechin got off from Ostrava International Airport, he still felt quite different.

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

The climate in Ostrava is quite good. Compared with this time, the temperature in many parts of the country has gradually risen. Ostrava has a cool climate and fresh air, which makes people feel a sense of openness.

"The day after tomorrow, Youssé Bot did not participate in the men's 100 meters race this time. He participated in the men's 200 meters. Your head-on confrontation should not be so fast."

After getting on the vehicle arranged by the competition organizing committee from Ostrava airport, Chen Zhongzhou quickly got the following competition arrangement from the organizing committee.

"I just broke the world record and will definitely not continue running the men's 100 meters for now."

Ye Qin heard Chen Zhongzhou say that Yousei Bor did not participate in the men's 100 meters event. Although there were some speculations in his mind, he was still a little disappointed.

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

This situation does not just happen to him. It is the same with Youssé Bot. After the New York Grand Prix set Yechin's men's 100m world record, subsequent competitions will not continue to focus on the men's 100. In the meter project, instead of running 200 meters.

The reason is that the psychological advantage of the world record accumulated at this time needs to be maintained so as not to lose to the opponent in other competitions, so that this newly established mentality is affected, and it also gives the opponent a psychological advantage.

"That's true too!"

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

Today is June 10th, and the Ostrava Grand Prix begins on 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, basically domestic players account for more than the average number, while Ostrava is truly international in nature. The competition brought together top athletes from all over the world.

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

As the Olympics gradually approached, many international athletes began to seize the time to show their faces in various competitions, practice by competitions, and prepare for the upcoming Olympics.

In the various grand prix and the Golden League in the year of the competition, many athletes who have not appeared for a long time can often be seen.

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

The 2003 World Championships men's 200m champion, Ye Qin once played against each other in 2005. It was only in June 2006 that John Cappel was banned for two years for taking illegal drugs.

This Ostrava Grand Prix is ​​regarded as the first stop of the opponent’s comeback, but whether John Capel can participate in this year’s Olympics depends on whether the opponent’s performance in this month’s national trials is outstanding. Ye Qin is not optimistic about each other.

Not to mention others, he is the 2004 men's 200m Olympic champion. It is not easy for Sean Crawford to win the National Trials.

At this time, Jason Gaby almost steadily occupied the men's 100 meters and 200 meters. In addition, Wallace Spielmont also has a strong strength in the 200 meters.

...

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

Glenn Mills looked at the list of entries, with a somewhat solemn look on his round face, and beckoned to Youssé Bot, who was listening to music in the room.

"Yose, Yechin is here to compete."

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

Youssé-Bot put down the earphones and froze for a while, then replied with a grin and white teeth.

For the contest against Yechin, Youssé Bot has actually been looking forward to it for a long time. During the New York Grand Prix, he and Spielmont went to ask Liu Yangyu for inquiries.

"You participated in the men's 200-meter race, and he participated in the men's 100-meter race." Glenn Mills smiled and shook the list of entries in his hand. "You don't worry about him taking your world again. Record?"

"Worry?" Youssé Bot shook his head, "No need, I know he can do it. Even if it's not this, the next, and the end, he still has the strength and ability to break the world record. "

Saying Yousse Bot paused, "But, what he can do, I also have this ability. Coach, you know the results of my training best. Yeqin is a strong opponent. I face him. Need to go all out.

I think our battlefield will be in the finals of the Olympic Games, the men's 100 meters and the men's 200 meters, we will all face each other. "

Glenn Mills chuckled, "Yes, Yosef, you are the most talented sprinter I have ever seen. You are becoming more and more mature now. What you need is victory after victory. . By the time of the Yanjing Olympics, I believe you should surprise everyone."

Youssé-Bot smiled and nodded ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Now he needs enough victories to build up his absolute strong confidence.

In the past few years, although he has performed very well, in the international arena, Asafaville, Jason Gaby, and Yechin have always been on the head, making him rank among the best players. But the championships won are not many.

And 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 against Jason Gaby in the back.

In the face of Ye Qin, he still can't say that he thinks he can beat the other side. After all, he has been defeated a lot in the past few fights.

He needs a match to defeat Ye Chin, but not now, but at the Olympic Games. At that time, he believes that defeating Ye Chin will be unstoppable on this planet.

It's just... the day after tomorrow's game, will Ye Qin surprise him and set the record again?

Youssé Bot is a little unsure about this. As a sprinter, champion, gold medal, and world record, these things are almost all pursuits carved in his bones. If he replaces it, he may not be able to accept the world record he holds. It was taken away within a week.

If Ye Qin really broke the record in this game, then his world record seems to be held for only a dozen days, less than two weeks? !
