Chapter 579:150 Meters

16 May 2011, Manchester, United Kingdom.

From the early morning, Portland Street in Manchester city centre is a sea of people, gathering the eyes of local track and field enthusiasts and many tourists from all over the world.

Today is the day of the Manchester Street City Games, and since 2003, Manchester's street half-marathon and ten-kilometer race have been the largest events in Europe.

After joining the IAAF Gold Road Race at the 2009 Manchester City Games, the number of applicants for the ten-kilometer race reached 33,000 meters.Almost all the world's outstanding long-distance and non-professional players come to participate in the track and field competition.

At 14:30 p.m., half an hour before the ten-kilometer run.

Straight in the middle of Portland Street, on a runway less than 200 meters, when Ye Qin appeared on Portland Street in a sprint suit, almost the entire street boiled up in an instant.

Behind the baffles on both sides of the runway, the almost densely packed standing was full of people who came to see the game up close, and even many of the shop balconies and windows above the street, there were many people poked out, looking forward to Ye Qin and the other three players next to him.

Jamaican Steve Malins, American Roy Williams and British native Marlon Devinish.

The three people's influence on the sprinting project is not very large, but they are also the top athletes who have participated in the finals of the Olympic World Championships.

The spectators on the streets are well aware that this year’s Manchester City Games are about to begin before the ten-kilometre race.

This is a reserved event for the Manchester City Games - the 150-meter sprint competition, which basically invites a group of top male and female sprinters to compete before the long-distance running competition.To activate the atmosphere of the game and attract attention.

The men’s 150m is a highly controversial, non-large athletic event that has not been recognised by the IAAF.

Taking into account the standard track ratio, it is generally carried out in the bends and straight distances of the track field, or in some specially built special tracks to complete straight competition.

The first worldwide high of the men's 150m was at Rogers Centre Stadium in Toronto, Canada, in May 1997.

The match brought together two Olympic champions, Michael Johnson and Donovan Pele, to determine who was the fastest person in the world.

At that time, Donovan Bailey held the men's 100m world record with a time of 9.84 seconds, while Michael Johnson held the men's world record of 200 meters in 19.32 seconds.

In 1996, Michael Johnson set a world record of 14.83 seconds for men’s 150 meters.

The match between the two can be said to be the first time in the world to let the attention of the men's 150 meters, although not the IAAF's competitive project, but in the two world record holder to take a middle distance, or to get a middle distance, or attracted the attention of the people.

In the end, Donovan Pele won the championship in 14.99 seconds, and Michael Johnson withdrew from the game in the middle of the day because of injury.

This game has also become the few games in Michael Johnson's career, making it feel that he dare not face the challenge.

“Hi Ye Qin, I want to know, did you come to the 150m race this time for the world record?”

Shortly after Ye Qin appeared on Portland Avenue, two BBC reporters at the top of the starting line surrounded him with a microphone carrying a camera and conducted a pre-race interview on the street.

“I’ve never been in a 150m and I wish I could try it.As for the world record...”

Ye Qin shrugged his shoulders at the camera and made a helpless look, "I am going all out, hoping to run a good result."

Reporters interview is naturally arranged by the organizers in the early morning, on the one hand, the main purpose is to use the fame of the top athletes to promote the influence of this event.

Ye Qin has also been accustomed to interviewing such things in public, not half timid, but showing a few Westerners can understand the eyes in front of the camera.

With the growth of his age and experience, such a scene has become more and more relaxed, and can be proficient in the use of English communication, but also makes him not as serious as many domestic players in the face of foreign media.

"Oh, then I think you're going to give it all, you're going to be at the end of this year's World Championships, and you're going to take a world record from him."

The British journalist was also obviously funny, directly linking Yechin’s game to the men’s 150m world record previously set by Usse-Bott.

The first world record for the men’s 150m was set by Michael Johnson in 1996.

The record was held for more than a decade from 1996 until the Manchester City Games in 2009 when Ussei-Bott broke the straight in 14.35 seconds, setting a new world record.

In 2010, Jason Gaby was in a stunning form, also coming to Manchester in May to take part in the men's 150m challenge, with a final score of 14.41, ranking second in history.

After inviting the world's last two men's sprinters, this year's Manchester City Games finally began to invite Ye Qin to participate in the men's 150-meter performance.

Ye Qin was initially little interested in the event, and last year he received an invitation to the men's 300m race from the Ostrava Super Grand Prix.

Like the men's 150 meters, the men's 300 meters is also an informal suspension program, the main purpose is to help improve the speed endurance of men's 200 meters athletes and men's 400 meters athletes running speed.

The men's 300m world record was also set by Michael Johnson in 2000 with a time of 30.85 seconds, and in 2010 in Ostrava, Uuse-Bot played in the men's 300m, with a final score of 30.97 seconds, and failed to break the Michael Johnson world record.

This time, Ye Qin came to Manchester to participate in the men's 150 meters competition, which was carried out under the promotion of many parties.Among them his economic team wants him to be able to participate to prove his absolute historical position in the sprint project.Another factor is that the appearance fee issued by the event organizing committee is high enough to move people's hearts.

After a simple interview with a BBC reporter on the sidelines, Ye Qin returned to the starting line and greeted Steve Mullins, Malone Devinish and Roy Williams.

Although there is no deep relationship between them, but basically the game has been touched many times, it is familiar.

Similarly, several people came to participate in this game, and they also knew that they would be the foil of Ye Qin, but they can compete with many world record holders, such an opportunity is still worth cherishing.

If in this men's 150 meters race, accidentally can win Ye Qin, this is a proud record that can blow a lifetime.

Like the men's 100 meters first person Asa Faveville, in the many competitions, there have been lost to some of the new sprinters, the media is almost a huge publicity.

The status of athletes in the track and field field depends on a game to accumulate, but it is still a very exciting thing to win over the top players in some small competitions occasionally.

For Ye Qin, this men's 150 meters competition is also the nature of the performance, but as long as it appears on the field, whether it is a competition with the same group of players, or with the previous year's Uase-Bott, Jason Gaby last year's good results, is a potential showdown.

At the top level, the eyes of the whole world will pay attention to you.

Not to say a word or a word, but the ups and downs of each game, the challenges of various events, always someone will take a magnifying glass to pick the thorn.

As time approaches, the number of spectators gathered on the sidelines is more and more, and the atmosphere becomes more and more warm.

In addition to a large number of spectators on both sides of the runway, there are many athletes and amateurs who are waiting to participate in the ten-kilometer challenge, so that in the grand competition, people can be invited to the world's first person as a hot field, whether it is to add luster to the face of the event organizers, or to the fierce competition that is about to start later, it is very effective.

Ye Qin stood before the start, glanced at the dense audience next to him, although there were many people on both sides of the street, but he quickly saw the familiar figure on the second floor of a cafe.

Chen Zixi Station on the second floor of a cafe window, saw Ye Qin look, when he raised his right hand, made a gasping gesture toward Ye Qin.

After graduating last year, Chen Zixi has been helping Ye Qin take care of some of his original economic work and some financial investment, and this year he accompanied Ye Qin to participate in some European competitions, and the two people can also do a travel.

Ye Qin stood in front of the starting line, returned a wave of action that only two people could understand, and then looked at the far end line.There, already, someone pulled up the banner of the punch line, waiting for the first to arrive to cross the finish line to cheer.

The whole street is more noisy than in the stadium because of the open-air game.

Looking at the people on both sides of the surrounding area, there is a burst of cheering and discussion, there is a feeling that Ye Qin returned to his youth to participate in the school sports meeting.

Everyone is watching your every move up close, and your eyes will not leave you.

For many onlookers present, this is also a rare experience, how fast athletes are on the field, many times they only see in the distance, or on TV.

Only at such a close distance can we really feel the speed of the top sprinters.

With the order of the court-side command, he began to lean down, stepped on the runner, and prepared to start.

There were only four tracks on the runway, and Ye Qin was in the middle of the second, and after he leaned over, he could hear the sound of a buzzing drone at the back.

That is to be able to take a more comprehensive picture of the panorama of the four players in the 150-meter project, and the main committee of the event specially used aerial photography.

After a prepared password, the shooting of the game suddenly sounded.

The first four players of the starting line rushed out of the runway in an instant!

Ye Qin from the start of the runner, I can feel that his start is still good, not particularly fast, but basically self-feeling there is no obvious feeling of delay.

The whole Portland Street was caught in a frenzy after the shooting of the game, and the shouts and cheers of the spectators on both sides of the street were trembling.

10 meters, 20 meters, 30 meters...

In the start acceleration stage, the front ten meters Ye Qin did not have a clear advantage, around Steve Mullins and Roy Williams are both at the peak of their careers, the power of the explosive power is strong, at this stage is not inferior to Ye Qin.

The only British native Marlon Devonish is more than 30 years old, the peak speed is not there, and it is obviously a little slower after starting.

After 20 meters, Ye Qin gradually ran out of Steve Marlins and Roy Williams, and began to lead the distance between the two people half of a position to a position, and by 30 meters, Ye Qin had obvious advantages, and the audience on both sides of the street could already see Ye Qin running in front.

Forty meters, 50 meters, 60 meters...

Ye Qin’s speed has completely increased, and the faster he runs.

The other three players around him began to be left behind by him at this time, and the whole field seemed to be only Ye Qin running alone.

Ye Qin listened to the deep shouts in his ears, looked straight at the finish line, and ran with all his heart.

70 meters, 80 meters, 90 meters...

Ye Qin looked at the finish line ahead and felt that the speed of running at high speed could be unscrupulous.

100 meters of the straight he ran many times, basically full track 100 meters, not all behind the start of the slow down.

200 meters is from the curve to start to accelerate, in the start of the start, to some extent also pay attention to their centrifugal force problems, the need to stabilize the center of gravity, acceleration is not enough.

But now, when it is about to reach 100 meters, there is also a straight runway of 50 meters in front, which makes Ye Qin run and feel an indescribable smoothness.

One hundred and ten meters, one hundred and twenty meters, one hundred and thirty meters...

The narcissist in charge of the game has been exclaiming for a while.

Steve Marlins, Roy Williams and Marlon Devonish are not far apart from each other behind Yeqin, but Ye Qin in front has pulled a distance of ten or twenty meters from him.

The line!

"Unbelievable!Unbelievable . .

The narcissist in charge of the game shouted one after another.

“14 seconds and 29!”

Ye Qin has set a new world record once again!At this moment, I don't know if Yousse-Bott is watching this game, if any, I hope he does not shed tears, and his world record has been snatched by Ye Qin!"

Before the finish line, Ye Qin slowly slowed down and stopped, waving at the audience on both sides of the runway.

He had already seen himself at the end of the game, 14.29,

Despite being a commercial competition, it feels wonderful to be able to break the world record for a project again.

He will also meet with Usain Bott, Jason Gabi and Asafaville at this year's World Championships, and he does not yet know that his opponents are ready to do so.

However, he heard that Jason Gabi and Asafaville are not in good shape this year, and Jax-Trin has just returned to the field and is improving his results step by step.

Come to think of it, maybe the world championships people may not be so happy.

Everyone’s focus should probably be at the London Olympics next year.
