Chapter 349: Indoor 400m Final

"Tonight's women's 4×400m race is put on the last?"

On March 12, the last day of the World Championships, when Yechin saw at the Moscow Olympic Stadium that the final event at 18:55 in the evening was the women's 4×400 meters, he felt a little strange.

In his memory, generally the final project will be more influential, so that it can attract the audience to express the sense of anticipation and keep it till the end.

And he himself is an athlete in the 4×400m event. Naturally, it is clear that not to mention the women's 4×400m, but the men's 4×400m is not particularly popular with the audience compared to some events. Not to mention that this is an indoor race, and it is far less beautiful than an outdoor race.

"This must be the arrangement of the host." Sun Chaosheng heard Ye Qin's question and immediately explained to him, "The Russian women's team broke the women's 4×400m relay world record at the last World Championships. This intention is naturally obvious. I just want to make this game the finale, with excellent results."

The Russian team’s track and field strength has always been extremely strong. In the last World Indoor Championships, Russia dazzled all countries with 7 gold medals. This time as the host, it naturally wants to defend the honor of the championship.

Among the current countries, in many track and field events, only Russia can really beat the US team. Especially in the indoor World Championships, when some of the top players are not present, Russia has a strong competitive strength in some field events and women's events.

In addition, there is the African Army. In track and field, whether indoor or outdoor, the middle and long-distance running field is basically the basic set of several countries such as Kenya, Mozambique and Ethiopia. Although occasionally there will be cases where the women's event falls beside the gold medal, most of the time, the African Army still has a strong advantage in this area.

"I don't know if the game ended today with more gold medals in Russia or the US team." Sun Chaosheng sighed after finishing the game.

Today is the last day of the Indoor World Championships, and the final result will be announced in less time. So far, Russia has led the US team as the host medal, but the difference between the two gold medals is not big, and the answer will not be revealed until the end of tonight.

Thinking of this, Sun Chaosheng couldn’t help but glanced at Ye Qin again, with an encouraging smile on his face, “Ye Qin, don’t be too stressed, just let go of running at night. It’s just an indoor tournament, it’s just an ordinary game. It’s not that we need to work hard for this."

In this indoor track and field championship, due to the small number of participants, coach Sun Chaosheng led the team. There were less than 20 athletes plus coaches and staff.

After Liu Yangyu missed the men's 60-meter hurdles, two days of the game passed, and the Chinese team was still a zero medal situation so far. On the last day of the game, the player who was most hopeful of delisting was Ye Qin.

However, among the players who came to participate in the indoor track and field championships this time, in addition to a few veterans who have experienced world-class events, such as Wen Yongyi, they are all newcomers who are purely newcomers to the international arena for the first time. More still need to be The ability to compete in this area is honed.

Ye Qin is the youngest of all the players, but the experience of the competition is almost the richest except Liu Yangyu. Ye Qin participates less in domestic competitions, but internationally, the World Junior Championships, World Youth Championships, Grand Prix, Olympic Games, and World Championships are completely experienced.

Sun Chaosheng is not worried about Ye Qin’s mentality for the competition tonight. He has known and followed Ye Qin for a long time. When he was at the Xinzhuang training base, he also trained with Liu Yangyu and Yang Yao, and also coached him. Ye Qin's starting technique.

For Ye Qin's mentality that gets more excited the more he gets to the competition, even he, a coach who has already taught a world champion, is envious. In addition to talent and diligence, a good athlete has a good attitude.

Because at the top of the field, there is no big difference in the strength of the athletes in the end. In many cases, the competition is the mentality. Only with a good mentality can you perform well.

At 16:20 in the afternoon, Yechin, who completed the pre-match warm-up on the indoor warm-up track of the Moscow Olympic Stadium, under the leadership of the staff, carried out the final inspection procedures for the men's 400-meter final.

When the six athletes participating in the final appeared on the live track, the names and the arrangement of the six people also appeared on the large live screen of the indoor venue at the same time.

The first one, Milton Campbell, United States;

The second course, California-Moore, Botswana;

The third one, David Ann Clark, Jamaica;

Fourth Road, Chris Brown, Bahamas;

The Fifth Way, Ye Qin, China;

The sixth way, Aylin Franchik, Grenada;

This course arrangement is slightly different from the general outdoor 400-meter course arrangement. Relatively speaking, it is more promising to win the championship, or the athletes who have performed well in the preliminary and semi-finals will arrange the course in the indoor 400-meter finals. Will be biased towards outsiders.

The reason for this is that because the inner side of the runway has a greater curvature and centripetal force, it is not as advantageous as the outer side.

Therefore, the two players who are considered the most likely to win the men's 400m finals, Yeqin and Aylin Franchik, were both arranged on the edge.

Ye Qin stood on the starting line of the runway, watching the cheering audience, his inner mood was rising.

Probably because of the 400-meter final today, the number of Chinese spectators who came to the stands to watch the game in the afternoon was obviously much more than the number of people in the previous two days. Under the bright indoor lights, he could easily see from a pile of high-nosed spectators. In the middle, I saw the eye-catching national flag and several red banners pulled up to cheer for me.

This feeling of being supported and encouraged by others, being able to be expected and cheered by others, has always brought Yeqin a very good feeling.

Walking on the runway changed my life. Being able to be supported by others is what he is after.

Moreover, after achieving his goal, being able to shoulder the expectations of more people to run has gradually turned into one of his many motivations.

At this time, Ye Qin's heart was not particularly nervous about the game. With an athlete of his current level, the indoor competition can already be faced with a relatively peaceful mentality, but the desire for the championship is not a lot at all.

The feeling of victory was wonderful. The moment he crossed the finish line and left other opponents behind made him deeply infatuated. This is the arena. He seems to be omnipotent here, and it seems that everything can be done. the best.

and……

"This time because of Brother Yang Yu's injury~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the Chinese team is still unreceived. I need that gold medal, a gold medal to prove myself and my team."

Thinking of Sun Chaosheng's encouraging smile just when he was warming up, Ye Qin secretly made up his mind.

Sun Chaosheng was the team leader this time, and his disciple Liu Yangyu was supposed to shoulder this task, but by accident, he was injured. As the team leader, Sun Chaosheng was not embarrassed in this indoor competition.

To break this dilemma, only Ye Qin participated in the men's 400m race.

Therefore, this gold medal must not be lost.

Whether it is for yourself, for the representative team, or for other people who support you, you need to go all out.

He raised his head and looked at the Grenada veteran Aileen Franchik. The opponent was born in 76. He is already 30 years old this year. He is already a thorough veteran in professional track.

But in the 400-meter event, if there is reasonable training and physical maintenance at this age, it still cannot be underestimated. When Michael Johnson broke the 400m world record, he was already 32 years old.

After Ye Qin learned about the other party's situation from Sun Chaosheng yesterday, he has taken it seriously in his heart.

Aylin-Franschick did not perform well at the Helsinki World Championships last year, but it does not mean that the opponent has no strength. The 2004 Olympic Games ranked fourth in the men's 400 meters with a score of 44.66, which is the best than Yechin in the men's 400 meters. The results are even faster. Although there is no guarantee of how well the opponent will perform in the finals, there is this result here. In addition, from the preliminaries and semi-finals, the opponent's state seems to be good, so he can't tolerate him carelessly.
