Chapter 353: 2006 Eugene Grand Prix (Part 1)

May 28, Hayward Stadium, University of Oregon.

Although it is not long after noon, the stadium is already crowded at this time. The annual Putfontein Classic is a feast for this small city and the University of Oregon. Many track and field fans across the United States and even the world will meet. Arrived in Eugene on this day and watched the top players from all over the world compete.

Especially this year, the organizers of the pre-match event have already played, and the world's fastest Jax Trin and Asafa Weir will appear on the men's 100-meter track to participate in the race.

This makes many spectators who might have little interest come to the stadium to watch it, seeming to want to witness this great moment of competing for the world's first person.

Because it is an open outdoor stadium, Yeqin was already waiting in the stands on the sidelines when he arrived after warming up. Today's main attractive games are all at the beginning.

Starting at 13:30, the men's 100m race will start first, followed by the men's 200m and men's 400m races, and then the classic event of the Putfontein Classic, the men's one-mile race.

Although the approximate distance of a one-mile run is equivalent to about 1,500 meters, he is still retained in the IAAF as a separate competition system. The origin of the one-mile run is also very interesting. It was originally a game system used for gambling in England. Later, as the core of communication between amateurs and professional players, it became a completely different one, and it was very popular in Europe and America. Independent events.

The current two most famous records in the Putfontein Classic, one is held by Mutola, who won the women’s 800m championship for the seventh time in this year’s Indoor Track and Field World Championships. Since 1993, he has raced in the 800m for 13 consecutive times. Victory in China, and this year the opponent will also launch an impact towards the 14th record.

The other is that in 2001, American high school student Alan Webber broke the legendary athlete Jim Ryan in the Putfontein Classic with a time of 3:53.43. He has maintained the 36-year one-mile run of all-American high school students. Record.

As time got closer and closer, the number of spectators in the stands of Hayward Stadium also increased. The shouts of various spectators, as well as reporters from Dorcas Media and magazines, were constantly emerging on the sidelines.

At about 13:25, the first warm applause and cheers from the stands of Hayward Stadium rang out. Before the men's 100-meter starting line, the current men's 100-meter trapeze, Jax-Trin, appeared on the runway.

With the appearance of Jax Trin, by this time, some spectators have noticed that in today’s men’s 100-meter race, both Jax Trin and Asafaville, who were promoted before the game, will participate. The men’s 100-meter race seemed a little different from what they understood.

Although Jax Trin and Asafaville, the two men's 100-meter trapeze, will both participate in the 100-meter race, they appeared in two different final teams.

This is completely different from what many spectators thought before the game that the two masters will compete on the same field and compete for the outcome.

Naturally, by this time, some spectators have been able to realize that they were misled by the propaganda of the event organizer, but people have already arrived at the scene, and the plain players are there, but there is no direct dialogue and competition, and they can only wait. Once again.

The first group of men's 100-meter races soon began amidst the tumult and noise of the audience. Ye Qin stood on the sidelines watching the athletes who were about to start the race very carefully.

As long as he has the opportunity, he will seize the time to watch the video of the game that he did not pay much attention to before, as well as the training videos of many players.

After returning from the Helsinki World Championships last year, Randy Hunter’s focus shifted to the long jump. He entered Mizuki University. He often trained with professors and coaches such as Li Qi from the school team and the Sports Department. The Mizuki Sports Department also targeted him. The situation established a research group, which belongs to the cooperation project with the national track and field team.

The project center naturally revolves around Ye Qin. Ye Qin is also in the process, constantly learning and watching the movements and skills of various sprinters in the world.

The reason why he was particularly looking forward to a race with Asafaville was that he saw the running techniques and movements of many athletes in the subject group. Among them, Asafaville's running movements were smooth and beautiful, full of power, and various The technical details seem to be done very well.

Compared with Michael Johnson, Jimmy Warner, and Jax Trin's running method with a powerful hip-handling ability since running up and sitting on the hip, Yechin's view is undoubtedly Asafaville. The technical action is undoubtedly more outstanding.

Of course, sprinting skills are not the same. The main thing is to suit each person's technical characteristics.

Like the top 100-meter athletes Yechin himself has seen, Morris Green and Asafaville have the fastest start and acceleration. They run like a bullet and have great impact. They are strong muscles. The ability that can only be possessed by the burst of power.

In addition, the athlete with good technical ability on the way is Raun Crowder, the men's 200-meter champion of the Athens Olympics. His start is not the best, but the absolute speed ability on the way is very good, and he can stabilize his speed for a long time. On high speed. And Jax Trin is very capable in the second half of the sprint. With a wide stride and a strong hip-sending ability, the advantage is not obvious in the early and mid-term, but in the late period, few people can compete with him.

Yeqin watched a lot of Jax Trin’s game videos. Every time when the guns sounded and the players rushed out of the track, Jax Trin was not the one that attracted people’s attention, but he was crazy. After a dash of one hundred meters, he would basically run in front of all the runners at the end.

Yechin can understand this style of running, and even he and Jax Trin are somewhat close to some extent, but the technical features that he pays attention to inside are completely different.

However, Yeqin is now in a learning stage, constantly referencing other players, and then combining his own technical characteristics, absorbing it like a sponge, and constantly improving himself.

You must recognize your own strengths and weaknesses, and then learn from each other. Just as Liu Yangyu can beat many 110-meter hurdles masters and create miracles, one of the biggest characteristics is that his hurdle skills are very good, and the speed may not be the fastest, but through one after another. One hurdle leaping can gradually eliminate disadvantages, accumulate advantages, and finally win the championship.

At this time, on the field, the first group of men's 100 meters is about to start.

Although Jax Trin does not have Asafaville's strongest rival in this group of players, there is still this year's men's 60m indoor world championship Leonard Scott ~www .wuxiaspot.com ~ Jamaican star Michael Flatt and other top sprinters.

After the start of the race, Leonard Scott showed the strength of the new men's 60-meter indoor championship, starting and accelerating very quickly, and he was almost far ahead of other players in the first 30 meters.

But at a distance of about sixty meters, Jax Trin caught up from behind and gradually surpassed Leonard Scott. The final result of the game was not beyond the expectations of all the audience.

Jax-Trin finally won the championship with a time of 10.05. The wind speed was 1.0 m/s, which was a good result. Mostly because of the relatively weak situation of the opponent, Jax-Trin also had reservations. Did not go all out.

The second and third in the same group were Leonard Scott of the United States and Michael Flatt of Jamaica. The results of the two were 10 seconds 16 and 10 seconds 17 respectively.

Yechin sees clearly from the sidelines. Jax Trin’s running skills and Leonard Scott are two typical examples. Leonard Scott is fast in the first half, the main reason is As soon as I started, I used all my power in the front and raised my head quickly, so it seems that there is almost no opponent in the front 30 meters, but there is a whole 100 meters in a game, and the energy consumption in front is too large, reaching 60 meters. In the future, basically there will be some follow-up weakness. After the speed of other players gradually rises, they will inevitably be overtaken by others.

Soon the second group of the men's 100m race at Eugene started again. Jax Trin, who had just been interviewed by several local American media near the finish line, also did not stand, but watched it from the sidelines. A men's 100-meter race.
