Season Starts
Chapter 540:Season Starts
9 May in Osaka, Japan.
Today, the sun is shining, the air is exceptionally good, and the blue sky is like a gemstone, and you can hardly see how many clouds are on it.
At this time, the long-term stadium was hot, and more than 47,000 live spectators were almost filled by the crowd of spectators, and the atmosphere was incredible.
“You don’t seem to have so many people in the tournament, do you?”
In the rest area of the stadium players, Zhuangwei listened to the shouts of the outer sky, and a strange color flashed on the round face.
"There really wasn't that much in the Osaka World Championships."
Chen Zhongzhou, who had personally experienced the Osaka World Championships, heard Zhuang Wei's words and suddenly laughed and replied, "Although the host of the Osaka World Championships at that time was still well prepared, the Japanese team performed poorly in the World Championships, causing many Japanese spectators not to buy it, resulting in the fact that most of the other games, except for a few relays, the audience was not particularly large."
“Are there so many people in this grand prix?”
Zhuang Wei shook his head slightly, and it seemed that he could not understand where the problem was.
Although it has been more than half a year, but the domestic Olympic atmosphere has not completely dispersed, some time ago, the nomination of the Laurentian Sports Award was announced, the Chinese Olympic team also received the best nomination, think of the domestic atmosphere at that time, it is really a feat of great life.
Such a comparison with the Osaka World Championships at that time, I feel that the enthusiasm of the Japanese people for the track and field events is really not too warm, many competition spectators are not many, and some of the popular project tickets have a lot of redundancy.
However, the Olympic Games are high enough, which is a world-class gathering feast.So far, the country has not held the death championship, but looking at the court, it should be more enthusiastic than the Osaka World Championships.
But now the reason why Zhuang Wei feels a little strange is that the original Osaka World Championships did not have so many spectators, but it was the Osaka Grand Prix that made the audience enthusiastic every year, which had to be a few words.
"This Osaka Grand Prix is different after all."
Chen Zhongzhou seems to know the doubts in Zhuang Wei's heart, and then explained it again, "The IAAF has determined the change of schedule some time ago."The World Athletics Tour, which began in 2005, ended next year in 2010, and was changed to the IAAF Diamond League and the IAAF World Challenge.”
"Diamond League and IAAF World Challenge?"
Zhuang Wei heard Chen Zhongzhou say this, but it is a little curious.
The IAAF's various events have undergone many changes, and the most sought after in the past few years since 05 is undoubtedly the IAAF World Tour, which includes the IAAF Gold League and the IAAF Super Grand Prix, and the second level is the IAAF Grand Prix and regional licensing events.
In the international years, the Golden League and the Super Grand Prix, as well as the Grand Prix of various cities, have been hailed as very successful events in various countries.
For most athletes, being able to participate in regional licensing and grand prix is already the threshold for international competitions.
Being able to participate in the Super Grand Prix and the Golden League basically means being among the top athletes.
Zhuang Wei is just a physiotherapist, but did not know that the IAAF's reform of the event has been launched, and asked Chen Zhongzhou a few words about the Diamond League and the challenge.
Then under the explanation of Chen Zhongzhou, it was probably understood that after the reform of the IAAF system situation.
The IAAF Diamond League is an elite track and field event of every year, with a high level in order to replace the Golden League, which began in 1998.
Although the original Golden League was established to enhance the image of Europe's leading world in track and field, after so many years of development, there has been some discord.
The goal of the new Diamond League is to enhance the attractiveness of global athletics, with the addition of the original five-stop gold league (except Berlin), which has added competitions in several countries, including China, Qatar and Morocco, as well as the United States.
In short, the original Chinese Shenghai Golden Grand Prix, the Cartel Doha Super Grand Prix, the Moroccan Monte-Carlo Super Grand Prix and the American Eugene Grand Prix and several other stops and the Golden League five stations of the competition, constitute the new Diamond League.
This is the IAAF level 1 competition, and the IAAF World Challenge is the second level of competition, the second level of the competition is to replace the original IAAF Grand Prix.
Under the premise that this reform is about to take place, although this year is still one year away from 2010, there is only one time left for the Osaka Grand Prix.
And after this year, the Osaka Grand Prix was not merged into the second level of the IAAF World Challenge, but was replaced by the domestic Kawasaki Golden Grand Prix.
This kind of international top track and field event is to see away from itself, for Osaka, a city with a strong track and field atmosphere, many people are quite reluctant.
"That's it."
After listening to Chen Zhongzhou's explanation, Zhuang Wei showed a sudden understanding.If the Golden Grand Prix of Shenghai is suddenly replaced by cities such as Linzhou, Yangcheng or Yanjing, even if it is still in the country, but for the local city like track and field people, it will feel some pity.
This is still the domestic track and field event atmosphere in recent years is warm, if like Osaka for many years of athletics atmosphere precipitation, that kind of unscrupulous feelings are not to mention.
“You’re really listening to the little guy!”
Next to him, Yuan Guohua, who had been watching the warm-up on the indoor runway, saw the look of Zhuang Wei's head nod, and couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
“Ah?”Zhuang Wei was slightly surprised, “Isn’t it?”
“It must be right, the Ifield League has also come out, and even the zero run that has been discussed before will be implemented from the 2010 Doha Indoor World Championships, but so many spectators are not coming to see the Osaka Grand Prix.”
Yuan Guo Hua smiled and pointed to Ye Qin, who was warming up, "You see every day, a leaf barrier, really don't know who the audience is for?" 」
“You mean Ye Qin?”
Zhuang Wei looked at the past with Yuan Guohua's eyes, and his mouth was slightly open, "Isn't it, so many spectators are all rushing to Yeqin?"
This answer is undoubtedly more surprising than Chen Zhongzhou's statement about the reform of the game.
After all, he knows the influence of Yeqin in the domestic game, there is no doubt that if Ye Qin goes to the national championships, it is estimated that the audience will be outside the stadium all around the three laps, but this is in Japan.
Ye Qin's influence in Japan is certainly also very large, and the excellent performance of the World Championships in Osaka in 07, almost at that time, the media discussion in the Japanese track and field world could not be separated from him.
But think about it, so many Japanese spectators will be completely crazy for a Chinese athlete, this kind of thing still sounds incredible.
"Of course it's Ye Qin."
Yuan Guohua nodded without hesitation, if before the Yanjing Olympic Games, Ye Qin was a world-class top sprinter, many foreign spectators have heard of this person, or can also recognize it.
After the Olympic Games in Yanjing, it was a well-known ticket.
In particular, the storm of the wonderful showdown between Yeqin and Youse-Bot, the world's first flying man, who will be the first to break the world record and other topics, almost the entire track and field event from the previous some depression, a leap to become the destination of the people.
The amazing speed of breaking the world record, as well as the challenge of the most powerful opponents, made the previous sprinting sport burst out extremely powerful after 08 years.
Yuan Guohua knew that Ye Qin was not ready to participate in the Osaka Grand Prix this year, the team's plan is Ye Qin to Qatar to participate in the Doha Super Grand Prix, the two events are very close to the time, May 8 is the Doha Super Grand Prix, May 9 is the Osaka Grand Prix.
The Doha Super Grand Prix is higher than the Osaka Grand Prix level, and the lineup of the players in the men's 100 meters is also better.
For the first game of the 2009 season, whether it is Ye Qin himself or the whole team, they hope to have a start.
But in the end, Osaka opened a price that Ye Qin and the track and field team could not refuse, compared with the appearance fee of the game before 07 years ago, this time the appearance fee increased by more than ten times.
The arrival of Ye Qin, under the deliberate publicity of the Osaka Grand Prix, has also achieved an effect that satisfies them all.
Tickets are already sold out five days in advance, and more track and field enthusiasts are buying tickets online for the Osaka Grand Prix.
This influence was previously impossible for sprint superstars including Maurice Green and Asafaville.
There are many reasons for this, such as his amazing results at the Osaka World Championships, the first Asian break 10 players, as well as the appearance of the same yellow racers and the respect of the domestic sprint stars, Shin Wu, Ito Haosi.
What is more important is the national character of this country, the worship of the strong, although not as one country as the other country to say that he is a person in his own country, but for the first yellow person who made such an amazing contribution in the sprint project, this enthusiasm is right in itself.
On the warm-up track, Ye Qin seriously warmed up before the game, feeling the long-lost throb of the game, and a slight excitable color surged under the calm expression.
In the winter training, because of the muscle strain, it almost disrupted the training rhythm, but after the resumption of training, his results were not affected.
In the words of the experts of the hospital, one is that the injury is not serious, and the other is that his body is at the peak of his youth.
If you don't suffer a major accident, the next three or four years will be the peak of his personal career.
As for how long this peak can be maintained, of course, no one can have an answer.
But in the best peak era, to create higher results, but everyone is looking forward to.
...
3:15 p.m.
Yeqin first raced in the Osaka Grand Prix, which he will play in two more men's 200m this year than men's 200m and men's 100m.
Before the men's 200-meter starting line, there were only five foreign competitors, Ye Qin, Rodney Martin of the United States, Brandon Christian of Antigua and Barbuda, Brian Dasinghe of Zimbabwe and another American, Chris Berian.
The other four are Japanese players, including the last resort.
From this, it can also be seen that the Osaka Grand Prix is not attractive to foreign top players, and the Japanese side is mainly through these events to improve the level of sprinting in the country.
Ye Qin was in excellent form, but after the start of the race, he took the lead at a distance of 30 meters, and kept that lead advantage all the way to the end.
This 200m race is the first of this year's season, he did not put too much water, of course, not all, just as far in accordance with their own pace to run.
Finally, when Ye Qin crossed the finish line, the yellow timer card appeared on the 19.79 number.
This is the new men's 200m record at the Osaka Grand Prix, after the Osaka Grand Prix men's 200m race record was held by Namibian veteran Frankie Fredericks.
In the excitement of the whole audience, Ye Qin waved down the game.
He actually did not think before he came to Japan to participate in the competition, this time the Japanese Grand Prix will come so many spectators, he will be so warmly welcomed.
In fact, the situation abroad is similar to the domestic situation, the influence of the Olympic Games is not comparable to the general competition.
Like a long time, the Chinese people are not particularly aware of Asafaville, although the other side has repeatedly set a new men's 100 meters record, but the lack of heavyweight competition gold medal, after the world record was refreshed by others, many ordinary people have not been impressed.
An hour later.
At 5:30 p.m., the biggest men’s 100-meter race of the Osaka Grand Prix began again.
Ye Qin again stood in front of the starting line, the cheers of the entire long-term stadium audience almost turned the top, that kind of warm battle, if not listening to the language is not Chinese, let Ye Qin have a feeling of playing in the domestic game.
The players in the men's 100-meter competition, like Rodney Martin of the United States and Brian Dasinge of Zimbabwe, participated in the 200 meters and participated in the 100 meters like Ye Qin.
Among the nine athletes participating in the competition, there are still four players in Japan, but this time, she did not play, and the Japanese who grew up in recent years, Tsakahara and the veteran Chaoyuan Xuanji and others.
After a gunshot, Ye Qin rushed out of the starting line in the cheers that broke out in the whole audience.
His current start reaction and start acceleration are already the top level in the world, and he has also taken the lead in the high-speed link on the way to 30 meters.
The final result of the men's 100 meters was 9.88 seconds, which also broke the previous record of 9.91 seconds held by Morris-Green.
The second place was unexpectedly won by the Japanese local player Yukio Shihara in 10.13 seconds.
After the Japanese Grand Prix, Ye Qin and the team's staff are preparing to start returning home to prepare for the next race before the World Championships in Berlin.
A message about Jason Gabi came back.
