Chapter 563:400m Heats

“Usuese, won’t you go back?”

In the mixed access area of the Berlin Olympic Stadium, Steve Mullins looked at Yousse-Bott, still patrolling the track and field, and did not mean to leave the stadium, and suddenly shouted in the back.

Both men's 200m preliminaries in the morning, both successfully qualified, now need to return to the station to rest and do some preparation for tonight's 200m rematch.

“Wait a minute, I’ll go with my team!”

Uuse-Bot stopped in the mixed-channel area and waved at Steve Mullins.

In the doubtful eyes of Steve Mullins, he saw that Uuse-Bot was waiting for an American who had just finished the game, with a dirty braid.

It was Wallace-Spearmont, and Steve Mullins was familiar with the American men's 200m, and although the other two years were not particularly good, they had always been a very competitive athlete in the men's 200m.

"Hi, brother, I've just run well."

After watching Wallace Spearmont appear, Usse-Both stepped forward and hugged each other, smiled and held out his fist and touched Spielmond together, and said hello.

"Come on, maybe there's not much room in the audience."

After Spirond and Usse-Both had punched, they put a thin coat in their hands and beckoned to Uuse-Bott.

Passing through the players’ mixed aisle, the two quickly found a place in the auditorium.

Then . . . the two of them saw the figure of an acquaintance in the stands.

"Jason, I knew you were here."

Wallace-Spyrmont looked at Jason Gaby, who was sitting on the bottom row of spectators, a few steps past, and sat down beside each other.

Uuse-Bor, who was next to him, looked at Jason Gabi, looked at him, and his eyebrows picked it up, and sat down next to him.

"We've all been compared to 200 meters, but 400 meters seems like none of us have run together."

After Wallace Spearmont and Uuse-Both sat down, Jason Gabi looked at the track and field in the distance and suddenly leaned over and said to the two men.

In fact, this is mainly to Youse-Bot, he and Wallace Spiermont in four or five years ago when they were training partners, the two trained together to run 400 meters, but with Usse-Bot in the field, but only 100 meters and 200 meters.

“Do you want us to run 400 meters together?”Uuse-Bot naturally understood that Jason Gabi's words meant to him, and asked with his chin.

“Why not?”Jason Gabi pointed to the men's 400m race in the track and field, "You're the second Michael Johnson."

Usse-Bot touched his chin, his face seemed to show the color of his thinking, and nodded, "Tomorrow there is no world championships and the Olympic Games, maybe we can try."

Use-Bott doesn’t feel intimidated by Jason Gabi’s 400m challenge.

This year, several people have actually tried the 400-meter project, and they have refreshed their personal PBs on the 400-meter project.His coach had urged him to practice 400 meters, but he refused on the grounds of too hard work and turned to the men's 100 meters project.

But as he began a comprehensive competition between Tiantan and Ye Qin last year, he has lost to each other in the 100 meters, 200 meters, Ye Qin unexpectedly lost last year, two days later he and Ye Qin can see a little bit.

Just in the 400 meters, he may have been a little grateful for this project, but now the situation is still different, on the one hand, with the intensification of competition, he can feel himself and Ye Qin in the 100 meters and 200 meters of the project competition, not necessarily have an advantage, and 400 meters may be a good choice.

Jason Gaby thought the same.

In the face of the two strong men, Uuse-Bot and Jason Gaby, making it difficult for him to climb the top in a one or two hundred meters, and his eyes were unconsciously aimed at 400 meters.

This point from the thomash world championships in 2009, everyone on the sidelines to see Ye Qin's 400 meters race, there are some ideas.

At that time, I felt that Ye Qin could do it, and they should be able to do it.

Not to mention that it will be possible to break the world record or the like, but at least it should be equally competitive.After all, people like Jason Gable and Usre-Bot have not practiced 400 specifically in these years, but they can run about 45.50 seconds.

If Ken takes more time and competes completely, it may not be impossible.

And the 400-meter project and the men's 100 meters and 200 meters are not the same, in the 400 meters project, athletes even to the age of 30, still have a strong competitiveness.

Michael Johnson's best score in the 400 meters, but in his thirties.

At the beginning of this year, Ussei-Bot said in the media that he might try the 400-meter project in 2010.

There were no World Championships and Olympics in 2010, and it was a year worth trying.

Use-Bot's inner resistance to 400 meters, in fact, with Ye Qin in the 100 meters, 200 meters and 400 meters at the same time show the amazing competitiveness, has been touched.

Athletes are winning, a few of them sit here, and deep down they all hope to become champions.

Ye Qin can do it, why can't we?

While the two were talking, Wallace Spielmond, who had been sitting next to him, finally understood the gap between him and Ussei-Bot and Jason Gaby.

He is two years younger than Jason Gable, the two were once training partners, he once scored in the 200 meters, better than Jason Gable, he is the NCAA men's 200 meters champion in 04 and 05, and in the world championships in 2005, his results are also better than Jason Gaby.

At that time, no one would have thought that he was worse than Jason Gaiby, and the opposite age and the advantages of grades felt that he might have better results than Jason Gaiby in the future.

But since Jason Gabi really entered the professional field in 2005, the other side seems to take off, first 200 meters, and then 100 meters, the results are soaring.

The wider arena, the confrontation with a strong opponent like Asfawe, allowed Jason Gaby to grow quickly.

As for Uss-Bot, the two people know the same, although in the training attitude of half a pound, but Ussei-Bot is obviously more and more powerful than his attitude of competition, the kind of strong attachment to the pursuit of the championship, are he does not have.

In the waiting room of several people, the men's 400-meter preliminaries on the field have begun.

...

Ye Qin did not know what his competitors were discussing in the stands, and even if he did, he would not have expressed anything.

We are all top athletes, and it’s normal to want to go for a new project.

Moreover, the competition of men's 400 meters project may not be easier than 100 meters and 200 meters.

Not to mention that Jimmy Warner almost dominated the men's 400m project from 2004 onwards, that is, the newly rising Sean Merritt is equally powerful.

And Sean Merritt also wants to copy Michael Johnson's old road, in the men's 200 meters in the men's 200 meters have participated in a number of competitions, this year and Uuse-Bott have played.

Athletes reach a certain level, looking for a breakthrough, or competing for more honors, always look at other projects.

Michael Johnson's legend is the men's 200 meters and 400 meters two world records set, Ye Qin's super influence, but also today's men's 100 meters and 400 meters two world records formed.

Standing on the indoor warm-up track, Ye Qin, along with many other players, continued to do a little simple pre-race stretching.

Because after running the men's 200 meters soon, there is no need to deliberately warm up, just the appropriate activities under the bones to ensure that they will not be injured in the race.

Although the men's 100m competition is over, the men's 200m and 400m behind him, as well as the men's 4×100m relay, these items are still very important.

In particular, the men's 200m and men's 4 × 100 meters relay, one is the regret after last year's Olympic exit, today hope to make up.

The other is that if the relay team lacks him, it is probably not so easy to reach the final, let alone take the place.

A variety of pre-match after the warm-up stretching massage, this is actually a lot of advanced training concepts from abroad over the years, before, domestic athletes, pay no attention to this aspect is actually not enough.

Ye Qin will initially take these seriously under the guidance of Nie Fangping.In the back of the project more, this aspect of more attention, a world championship game needs to participate in the distance, really count, in fact, not as good as the usual training.

The exercise track project, regardless of long-distance sprinting, one day does not run thousands of thousands of meters.

It is just that the intensity and pressure of the game are completely different, and the results should be achieved, so it is necessary to protect the state more and more.

As the time drew nearer, the men's 400m preliminaries officially began at 11.05 a.m.

The men's 400m is a three-shooting, preliminaries, semi-finals and finals.

The preliminaries are a total of fifty-three, divided into seven preliminaries.The first three of each group advance directly to the semi-finals, and then add the three best results of the remaining players, a total of 24 people to participate in the semi-finals.

Ye Qin is in the fifth group of the preliminaries, with Sean Merritt in the fourth group of the preliminaries and Jimmy Warner in the sixth group.

As in the previous 100 meters and 200 meters, the top athlete organizing committee will try to avoid each other in the same group as much as possible, while running the other players to advance.

At 11:33, after the end of the previous four preliminaries, Ye Qin's fifth preliminaries finally appeared on the field.

At the end of the day, Ye Qin heard the warm cheers of the audience on both sides.

This is his second appearance this morning, and for Ye Chin, who had won the men’s 100 meters the night before, almost no one will know the entire Olympic Stadium.

This year's world championships are the first of which is Yeqin and Yousse-Bot and Jason Gaby's men's 100 meters showdown, the second is Yeqin and Yousse-Bott's men's 200m showdown, and the third is whether Yeqin can beat Jimmy Warner and Sean Merritt in the 400m project to win the gold medal.

Ye Qin lost to Jimmy Warner in 2007 and won only the silver medal in the 400m project, and in 2008 Ye Qin won the gold and broke the world record, but the challenge he faced by Jimmy Warner and Sean Merritt was not less pressure than Ussei Bott and Jason Gaby.

It can be said that the most important points of the game are focused on Ye Qin.

As long as Ye Qin appears in the track and field, the mood of the audience can now be completely ignited.

“On your marks!”

As a player in place of the password sounded, the boiling scene gradually quieted down.

In the stands, in particular, yousse-Bot, Jason Gabi and Wallace Spearmont, who came to watch Yechen run the men's 400-meter preliminaries, stared at the starting line.

They are not worried that Ye Qin will not run into the preliminaries, but just finished the men's 200 meters, the next rematch is still at night, around to see Ye Qin's performance does not delay too much time.

Just now the men's 200 meters preliminaries came out, Ye Qin is the second in the group, but also ranked in Jamaica's Steve Mullins Houman, several people can see that Ye Qin is in a reservation, a reasonable physical distribution.

Ye Qin this group of players a total of eight, he is relatively familiar with the athletes also several, France's Leslie Geron, has won a number of championships in Europe, in 4 × 100, 4 × 400 and long jump and other aspects have good results.

Another is the Swedish national men's 200m and 400m record holder - John Weisman, the individual in the 200m and 400 meters the best of 20 seconds 30 and 44 seconds 56, respectively, in many white sprinters, is a very good result.

After a shot, the game officially began.

Ye Qin was in the middle of the fifth road, and after the gunshot, Ye Qin rushed out of the starting line without delay.

Although he is not young, he has participated in various competitions since 03 years ago and has a lot of experience.

From the beginning of the run, the inherent rhythm has been maintained.

He participated in more men's 100 meters this year, and less than 200 meters and 400 meters.200 meters is good to say that the requirements for speed and endurance are not as high as 400 meters.

Although he had trained in the national team before, this year's official game began from this preliminaries.

For Ye Qin's 400m performance this year, in fact, outsiders are also curious, after breaking the world record last year, Ye Qin did not appear in the 400 meters again.

This preliminaries are clearly an opportunity for observation.

The first corner into the straight, Ye Qin in the relative distance in the third position, his first half of the current speed if the first half of the speed of the outbreak, basically no one can match, but he has been pressing the speed to keep the body can run.

Soon the straight phase ended, and the 400-meter race entered the second half.

Ye Qin still run not in a hurry, just to ensure that he is probably in the team position, this 400 meters he is also as a warm-up race to find the feeling of the game to run.

After entering the second corner, instead of the third track, a Bahamian player who Ye Qin was not familiar with Ramon Miller, suddenly began to accelerate.

Ramon-Miller’s instant acceleration even made French veteran Leslie Geron unable to help but start to accelerate together.

But Ye Qin still stabilized the pace.

He could feel that the Ramon Miller player should be playing a semi-final opportunity.

The strength of the player should look good, for the top players, the promotion of the game as much as possible to do is to play normally, do not foul out, to ensure that the line can be.

For many other athletes, every round of promotion in the world championships is actually very difficult, need to go all out to fight for a place.

It was clear that Ramon-Miller was doing something like that at the moment.

According to Ye Qin's judgment, in fact, there are about 45 seconds 50 should be able to advance to the semi-finals, but under the drive of the Ramon-Miller player, to the last 50 meters, he also had to slightly speed up the pace, get the third place in the group.

In the end, the results of this group came out, and Ye Qin expected.

Ramon Miller of the Bahamas set a career high in 45 seconds and finished first in the group.France's Leslie Geron finished second in the group with 45.20 seconds.Ye Qin finished third in the group in 45.35 seconds and successfully advanced to the semifinals.

As for the fourth-placed John Weisman, he ran a score of 45.83 seconds, whether he can advance or not, he still needs to wait for all the preliminaries to see the results.
