Born to Run

The Sponge Stadium, Lausanne, September 2, 2008.

The sponge stadium with more than 10,000 seats is almost overcrowded. Just a week after the Olympics, many athletes who have completed the Olympics will continue to participate in the IAAF Golden League and Super Grand Prix without stopping.

After Ye Qin ended the exchange between Xiangjiang and Haojiang two days ago, he flew directly from Xiangjiang to Lausanne, Switzerland, to participate in the Lausanne Super Grand Prix.

There are many classic events in the international track, and the Lausanne Grand Prix is ​​undoubtedly the most important site. In 2006, Liu Yangyu broke the men's 110-meter hurdles world record here, and he is also known as a blessed place.

Yeqin had been to Lausanne before and participated in competitions, but what was different from before was that this time he came with the title of Olympic men's 100m and men's 400m champion and world record holder.

There were more than 10,000 spectators in the audience. It can be said that a large part of them came completely towards Yechin to watch, and there are many things to watch in this Lausanne Super Grand Prix, except for the men's 100 meters that Asafaville participated in. In addition, the most critical is the men's 200-meter event.

Almost everyone who has watched the Olympic Games or paid a little attention to the Olympic news knows that Yechin was sent off in the semi-finals of the Olympic Games, and this time Yechin came to Lausanne to participate in the men's 200m event.

What is even more interesting is that it is not only Yechin who participated in the men's 200m event in this race. After participating in the Zurich Gold Grand Prix, Youssé Bot also came to Lausanne.

At first, everyone thought that Yechin and Yousseh-Bot’s duel between the two men in the men’s 200 meters would not be so early. This kind of king-to-king situation might last until the Berlin World Championships a year later. .

But what no one thought was that Yechin and Youssef Bot would once again stage a strong confrontation in the Lausanne Super Grand Prix just over a week after the Olympics.

At this time, the domestic news has not been completely disseminated, and the people who know it are only a part of them. Everyone is still immersed in the unprecedented results of the Chinese team just after the Olympics. There is not much attention to other track and field events.

However, two days ago, the Lausanne Organizing Committee announced that Yeqin would participate in the men's 200m project and Yousseh-Bot had a head-on showdown two days ago.

Almost all the media in Europe and the United States moved and rushed towards Lausanne. The broadcasting rights of the Olympic Games are divided among the various parties, and the Lausanne Super Grand Prix is ​​not so restrictive.

In the entire Sponge Stadium, the bottom circle was almost full of reporters, with long guns and short cannons aimed at the track and field arena, waiting for the game to start this afternoon!

This is the current confrontation between the two fastest athletes in the world. Yechin has broken the men's 100m and 400m world records, and Youssé-Bot was slightly slower by one hundredth of a second in the 100m, and also broke. Michael Johnson's men's 200m world record.

The two men's 200-meter duel that the two failed to complete in the Bird's Nest will be staged in Lausanne.

When I saw the race list and information, there were many media screaming that it would be perfect if Yechin and Yousse Bot could participate in the men's 100 meters again.

Yechin, Youssef-Bot, and Asafaville first started the men's 100-meter duel, and then the men's 200-meter duel. This peak duel can almost attract global attention to the maximum.

In the 2008 Olympic Games, the most prominent influence on the entire world track is undoubtedly the men's sprint event. The 100m, 200m, 400m and 4×100m all broke world records. The two evenly matched geniuses of China and Japan The contest of athletes has already attracted many people who didn't watch track and field competitions.

This trend began to rise before the Olympics, and it became more and more magnificent after the Olympics.

Numerous media and online posts, the debate about the winner of the men's 200m Yechin and Youssé Bot in Lausanne has turned into a tumult.

From genes to races to pedigrees, showing achievements, analyzing results at various stages, sprinting skills during the start, large pieces of well-founded and specious articles were reprinted by various reports.

Only when there are rivals and competition can the topic be raised.

And this time the topic, after benefiting from the Olympics, has aroused global attention.

Standing in the waiting area of ​​the Sponge Stadium players, Ye Qin listened to Chen Zhongzhou talking to him about various media reports in the past few days and quarrels with many netizens on the Internet.

He couldn't help shaking his head amused. He just wanted to return to the normal rhythm of the game after the Olympics, but he didn't expect such a wave to happen.

In fact, the national team has different voices about him going abroad to compete at this time, but Ye Qin has now become the second business card after Liu Yangyu, and his influence in the world is even greater than that of Liu Yangyu at that time.

It is said that there is not much that can be questioned as the first person in domestic or even Asian sports. He will participate in the Lausanne Grand Prix to rectify his name in the 200m event. Many people are also looking forward to this.

Yeqin's failure to participate in the men's 200-meter final in the Olympic Games is also one of the things that many people regret the most about this Olympic Games.

"Your jet lag hasn't completely reversed. Are you sure about Yousse Bot?"

Chen Zhongzhou is optimistic about Yeqin's participation in the Lausanne Grand Prix, but it is impossible to say that he is not worried about Youssé Bot at this time.

This is the battle for the world’s number one trapeze. Like many netizens commented, Ye Chin’s victory in the men’s 100 meters event against Youssei-Bot is only one hundredth of a second. With Youssei-Bot’s height and long legs, Chin may not be able to win the opponent in the men's 200m event.

The other side’s view is that Yechin broke the world record in the 400-meter semifinals. Also, looking at Yechin’s 200-meter performance in the past, Yechin has never lost to Yechin in the second half of the competition. The same is true. Possess strong speed keeping ability.

"Try it!"

Ye Qin smiled, his expression was more relaxed, and he flew from Xiangjiang to Lausanne a little bit. Naturally, his biological clock hadn't been adjusted yet, but he felt pretty good.

Moreover, facing Youssé Bot, it is not an Olympic game. The two are facing each other. Although they will still have a strong mindset, they will not really have the pressure of the Olympic Games.

"Your mentality is really..."

Chen Zhongzhou saw Ye Qin’s smile and couldn’t help laughing. From Ye Qin’s eyes he saw Ye Qin’s confidence in reaching the top after the Olympics. At the same time, without Ye Qin under strong pressure, he believed that there should be more outstanding performance.

At the same time, in the lounge on the other side.

Youssé-Bot was facing an interview with a female reporter from the BBC. Sitting in a folding chair and sorting out his game status, he was also very relaxed. Is he still joking with the female reporter who was watching.

"Yose, do you have any pressure on today's men's 200m match with Yechin? It is said on the Internet that this is your trapeze fight?" The female reporter talked and laughed with Yousse Bot for a while. Asked the most wanted question today.

Youssé Bot grinned and replied with a smile: "I have a very good relationship with Yeqin. At the beginning of this 200-meter showdown, I thought it would be reserved for next year's World Championships, but I didn’t expect us to register. Bumped together."

"Is that so?" The female reporter obviously didn't believe this statement. Although she didn't know much about the registration of track and field events, she also knew that for athletes at the level of Youssé-Bot, many competition schedules might have been set early in the morning. Up.

"Of course, that's it." Youssé-Bot blinked and grinned with a smile.

"Okay." The female reporter obviously felt that she should have been slapped by this world trapeze, and quickly changed the subject, "Then what do you think of the duel with Ye Qin? Do you think you will win, or is he? "

"It's actually hard to say..." Youssé Bot showed a slightly thoughtful look. "I called him before and asked him, Ye, why are you running over 200 meters with me now? Don’t you think that I have lost the gold medal in the Olympics and will be accounted for on me?"

"and then?"

"Then guess how he answered?" Youssé Bot paused deliberately, and then said slowly, "I owe him a 200m. We just want to have a race with someone who runs almost as fast as ourselves. ."

With that, Youssé Bot stood up from the folding chair and turned to the reporter and said, "And... our game will probably not end because of the end of an Olympic Games, it will probably continue for a long time... …"

After speaking, Youssé Bot left the lounge, accompanied by his agent, and walked towards the warm-up venue outside.

...

In the Sponge Stadium, more than 10,000 spectators are sitting or standing, waiting for the last race of the Lausanne Super Grand Prix-the men's 200m.

In the past, the men’s 200-meter race was not the last event, but this time it was different. Because there was a duel between two top athletes, the organizers of the event specifically postponed the race. This highlight is worth waiting for the audience and the media.

"Asafavire!"

"Asafavire!"

"A good run!"

...

In the audience stand, when Asafaville, dressed in plain clothes, appeared, it caused a lot of shouts from the surrounding audience.

Asafaville just smiled and waved to the audience in the stands. From the day he debuted, his personality has always been this way. He is not very good at words, and he will not be like Yousse Bot in front of others. Funny.

The most presumptuous one was when he won the men's 4x100m relay championship at the Yanjing Olympics and danced with Yousse Bot on the edge of the runway for a while.

The audience cheered him from the bottom of their hearts. In the years when Yechin and Youssef-Bot had not yet fully emerged, he was the number one superstar.

In the men’s 100-meter race that just ended, Asafaville continued his good form after the Yanjing Olympics. He played against Walter Dicks, Nesta Kardon, Davis Barton and other top athletes. In the contest, he won with a score of 9.72 seconds, refreshing his personal best.

In this men’s 100-meter race, there was no participation of the current strongest Yechin and Youssef Bot, and Jason Gaby, who was not in good shape, but his performance still made many spectators on the field feel. To the speed ability of the world's top sprinters.

Although the title of world record holder is not there, Asafaville is still one of the only top athletes on this planet who has reached the 9.80 mark.

On the other side, a top athlete who has also received much attention is standing in the stands at the moment, waiting for the men's 200m race to start soon.

"Sean, who will be your absolute final champion? That Chinese or Jamaican..."

It was Angelo Taylor, an athlete who performed well in the 400m and 400m hurdles. In the Lausanne Super Grand Prix, he participated as a 400-meter athlete and won the runner-up in the 400-meter race with a time of 44.38. The championship was won by Sean Merritt by his side. The winning time was 43.98. .

For many current men’s 400m athletes, Sean Merritt’s state this year is absolutely amazing. He has ran for 44 seconds many times, but it’s a pity that he lost to Yechin in the men’s 400m race at the Olympics. As a result, the US team has almost never won gold medals in men's sprint events except for the final 4×400 meters.

"Yechin, **** it, why didn't he come to participate in the 400 meters?"

Sean Merritt didn't seem to hear Angelo Taylor's words here, instead he kept muttering in a low voice.

After losing to Yechin in the 400 meters of the Olympics, he was very unwilling. At the time, if he could be better at pace, Yechin would not be able to reverse the situation in the end.

Of course, he admits that Yechin is strong in the 400m event and can break the world record. Needless to say, his personal ability is just that in the final. It is obvious that Yechin's state can be called heaven and earth compared to his performance in the semifinals.

After running 400 meters, Ye Qin almost lay on the ground tired, but he just felt a little tired. He believed that if he did it again at that time, his performance would definitely surpass Ye Qin.

"Sean, what are you talking about?" Angelo Taylor was a little strange about Sean Merritt's self-talk, but he didn't feel particularly surprised. Many athletes have many personal quirks, like the 100-meter athlete. Wes-Barton likes to be alone and often hides from talking to himself.

"Nothing..." Sean Merritt was as arrogant as ever. Angelo Taylor did a good job in the 400-meter hurdles, but he couldn't compete with him in the 400 project. He was very arrogant to this teammate and opponent. , Speaking is not so polite.

Angelo Taylor seemed to be used to Sean Merritt’s impoliteness, and then said to himself: “I think Yechin can win. If it’s better than the latter half, Yechin will let Yousei Bot look at it. The speed keeping ability of the top 400m athletes."

"That's not necessarily true. Youssé Bot has practiced 400 meters before." Sean Merritt answered with a curled mouth.

"But his results are not ideal. He hasn't ran within 45 seconds." Angelo Taylor smiled. "As for Usher Bot, he turned to 100 meters because he felt that 400 meters was too hard. ,you believe?"

"Of course not..." Sean Merritt also sneered at the idea that Youssa Bot's 100 meters instead of 400 meters ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ was because he avoided training.

It is certainly not easy to practice sprinting from 100 meters to 400 meters. As for not practicing 400 meters, the biggest possibility is that there is still no way to run 400 meters.

Needless to say, Yeqin, even Jason Gaby was very convincing in the 400m performance. He even offered to win three gold medals in the men's 100m, 200m and 400m.

Sean Merritt seems that Yechin’s winning side is actually greater than that of Youssé Bot. He has played against Yechin and knows the technical characteristics of the opponent, but emotionally, he doesn’t want Yechin to really win. .

While everyone was waiting on the sidelines, the atmosphere in the Sponge Stadium gradually became warmer.

On the big screen, this group of men's 200m athletes has already appeared in front of everyone, and the competition is about to begin!
