Born to Run

Chapter 387: 53rd in history

United States, Arkansas.

In a single-family villa, the tall old Spielmont was holding various bags of food. As soon as he walked in, he saw his son sitting in front of the sofa using his computer to watch a track and field game.

After putting the things in his hand on the kitchen table, the old black man walked to the sofa and sat down slowly, and exhaled comfortably. It was already December. The weather in Arkansas was not high. The temperature in Arkansas was not high a few days ago. It was snowing and the heating in the room made him feel quite comfortable.

"Wallace, I asked you to come back for Christmas in advance, but you haven't done anything for your family lately. Practicing purchasing" Old Spielmont glanced at his son with a pigtail beside him, his tone of dissatisfaction a little bit.

"Hey, daddy, I have been playing and training this year. It's rare to go home and rest for a while. You should let me relax." Wallace Spielmont, who was sitting on the sofa, stared at the TV screen. Did not turn it around.

"Well, you bastard, if it wasn't for your good performance this year, I would have to kick you out of the house." Old Spilmon shook his head and smiled, but with a little bit in his tone of voice. The color of praise.

He himself was a men's 200m athlete himself. During his studies at the University of Arkansas, he had won two NCAA men's outdoor track and field championships. In the 1987 Zagreb Universiade, he won the men's 200m and single event. Gold medal in the 4×100m relay race. He is a sprinter with a decent career.

However, compared to his achievements in sports career, his only son Wallace-Spielmont is better than blue. Not only did he outperform him in the NCAA track and field championships, but he also had outstanding performance in other competitions.

Just over two months ago, in Daegu, South Korea, Wallace Spielmont set a new personal best of 19.65 in the men’s 200m event, ranking third in history and second in the year. Achievement.

All of the achievements Wallace Spilmon has achieved are inseparable from his earliest training of Wallace Spilmon. In a sense, he can be regarded as Wallace Spilmon's track and field. The real mentor. In the United States, the most effective way for blacks to improve their family conditions is undoubtedly the road of sports. Wallace Spielmont inherited his strengths and achieved achievements in the world of track and field. Regardless of his status, it is gratifying for his son to achieve such results.

Leaning back on the sofa, Old Spielmont casually glanced at the computer in Wallace Spielmont’s hand. Only then did he notice that the content seemed to be a sports game, but the skin tone of the players made him feel uncomfortable. Right, he asked a little strangely: "Wallace, what kind of game is this?"

"Asian Games men's 100m final." Wallace Spielmont replied without looking back.

"Asian Games?" Old Spilmon glanced at his son next to him in surprise, then smiled, "When did you care about sprinting in Asia?"

Old Spielmont is a professional track and field athlete himself. Although the distribution of Asian countries may be unclear, he still has a certain understanding of the level of Asian sprinting. The level is very average. I don't understand how Wallace Spielmont paid attention to it. Such a "low-end" event.

Wallace Spilmon turned his head and glanced at old Spilmon, and pointed to an Asian face in the close-up on the computer screen, "You should know this person, Ye Chin, the winner of the men's 200m World Championships. "

"It turned out to be him. Is he going to take part in the men's 100 meters project?"

Old Spielmont has a bit of spirit. Just as Asians see many blacks as having face blindness, blacks can also be indistinguishable when they see some Asians. It's just that Yechin's face can still be recognized by the old Spilmon, who has won his son in several competitions, and he also knows that Wallace and Yeqin have a good friendship.

Wallace Spielmont nodded, "This is Yechin's second men's 100m race. There was no game video in the previous World Youth Championship. Fortunately, this game can be seen online."

"Hey, Wallace, turn the screen around and let me see." Old Spielmont still knew something about his son’s main competitors, and he just didn’t think of it for a while. Asian players.

As the game drew near, the two father and son sat in front of the sofa and watched the computer screen intently.

After a gunshot sounded, the pupils of the two seemed to be enlarged for a few minutes in an instant. More than ten seconds later, Wallace Spielmont threw down the computer and jumped up from the sofa.

"Wow, I ran into 10 seconds, and this fellow Ye Qin ran into 10 seconds."

Old Spielmont turned the computer back to the line of defense, his eyes revealed a solemn look, and it took a long time before he sighed, "I didn't expect that some Asian players could also break 10 seconds."

"Among the billions of people, there will always be one or two alternatives." Wallace Spilmon was equally surprised, but at this time, he had other things to do than his inner surprise.

I took out my mobile phone from the table and dialed Jason Gaby's phone. The first sentence at the beginning was, "Jason, Yechin ran in the men's 100 meters in 9 seconds and 98. He will be able to follow the World Championships next year. Participate in the men's 100 meters."

After speaking, Wallace Spielmont broadcasted another number, and his tone of voice was more relaxed than when Jason Gaby was opened. "Yose, let’s run 100 meters too. Yeqin guy, just in The Asian Games men’s 100-meter final ran in 9 seconds 98. Yes, you heard it right, it was 9 seconds 98. This is his second men’s 100-meter final..."

...

"Ye Qin, awesome!"

"Ye Qin, played so well!"

"Pretty!"

"Finally broke 10!"

At the Khalifa International Stadium, the men's 100-meter final was over. Yechin was immediately surrounded by numerous media reporters and various staff from the Chinese team.

Although many people have speculated before the race that Ye Chin’s men’s 100-meter race may bring some surprises to everyone, but when it comes to running out of the field, it is still a little dazzling to see this result. fan.

Yuan Guohua, who had been watching the game in the stands, was already waiting in the passage area. When Ye Qin came down, he came up directly and gave him a fierce hug.

"Coach Yuan..."

Ye Qin was a little dumbfounded by the hug of the low-bodied old coach. When the opponent let go, he found that the opponent's eyes were red and his lips were trembling slightly, as if he had a thousand words to say.

"Old Yuan, Old Yuan, calm down, this is a good thing, a great thing."

Upon seeing this, Yu Weili on the side lightly comforted Yuan Guohua, then stepped forward and patted Ye Qin on the shoulder. The smile on his face was brilliant, but his voice was also trembling and said: "Ye Qin, you broke for 10 seconds. Daguan, also won the first men's 100m gold medal for our track team."

Ye Qin just won the championship with a time of 9.98 seconds. It means too much. This is the first gold medal in the men's 100m event since Mainland China started participating in the Asian Games in 1974. Previously, the best result of the Chinese team in the men's 100-meter event in the Asian Games was Zheng Chen's runner-up in the 1990 Asian Games. Today, Yeqin finally won the heaviest gold medal after participating in the Asian Games for 32 years.

Ye Qin ran 9 seconds and 98 seconds, breaking the 10 second mark, which was a feat that even the previous generation of Japanese track and field star Koji Ito could not complete.

"No. 53, Yechin is No. 53!"

When Chen Zhongzhou on the side saw Ye Qin's appearance, he excitedly took his hand and shouted at the others.

"Xiao Chen, what is the 53rd place?"

There were many coaches and athletes in the crowd. Someone yelled when he saw Chen Zhongzhou somewhat enchanted and asked curiously.

At this time, in addition to domestic media reporters, including Sun Chaosheng and Liu Yangyu, the significance of breaking the 10-second mark is too extraordinary. As long as it is a countryman, it is a matter of honor.

"Yechin became the 53rd athlete to break the 10-second barrier, and the 53rd athlete who ran into 10 seconds since electronic timing. Asians, Chinese, our athletes."

Chen Zhongzhou shouted loudly at everyone~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Before coming to the Asian Games, he checked the IAAF's information in particular.

As of now, the IAAF has announced that there are only 52 athletes who have reached the 10-second mark. Among them, in 2006, before tonight, there were only three, one is Nigeria’s Orusoki Fasuba, and the other is Jie. Sen Gaby, and another is American Marcus Brunson.

Marcus Brunson was the 52nd player to reach the 10-second mark, while Yechin ranked 53rd behind him.

In track and field, there is a term called "10-second obstacle", which refers to the physical and psychological obstacles that male sprinters need to break through in 10 seconds in the 100-meter event. The achievement of being able to break 10 seconds has traditionally been regarded as the hallmark of a world-class sprinter.

Although Yeqin's performance in the men's 200 meters and men's 400 meters is already an undisputed world-class sprinter, when he really ran in the men's 100 meters event in 9 seconds 98, it was still incomparable. Shocked.

The outstanding results in the 200 meters and 400 meters do not mean that men's 100 meters can also be outstanding. It is as strong as Michael Johnson in his entire career that he has not scored 10 seconds in a men’s 100m race. The best 100m time is 10.12. Of course, this does not mean that he has no chance, but just failed to be on the field. Running out or catching up is excellent, after all, it is impossible to do it.

As more and more athletes ran into the 10-second mark in later generations, the significance of this 10-second barrier became less important in the IAAF, but at this time, for an Asian player to break the 10-second mark, it is still the same. It is very exciting.

Running into 10 seconds, the 53rd player in history who ran into 10 seconds, Asian, Chinese. Remember the website of this site, biquxu, for easy reading next time, or enter "" on Baidu to enter this site
