Born to Run

? "Asafaville broke the world record again?"

"Nine seconds 74!"

On the runway of the General Training Administration, when Chen Zhongzhou revealed the heavy news, Yuan Guohua, Li Qi, Yang Yao, Zhang Peimeng, Su Bingtian and others all looked at Ye Qin with their eyes, and they all seemed to want to see from his face. Give some clues.

Ye Qin stood on the edge of the runway, silent for a moment.

9 seconds 74!

Asafaville broke his own world record again. This... To be honest, this result made him feel a lot of pressure at this moment.

The previous men's 100m world record was 9.77 seconds held by Asafaville. After the men's 100m final at the Osaka World Championships, Ye Chin thought he was not far from this result.

After all, he ran in the final of the Osaka World Championships in 9.83 seconds. He ran out with a headwind of 0.5 m/s. If there is a tailwind, it may not be impossible to run within 9 seconds and 80 seconds in the best state.

It’s just that, now this record is abrupt, and it was raised from 9 seconds 77 to 9 seconds 74 by Asafaville. It seems that the improvement of 0.03 seconds is not that much, but it has reached the men’s 100 meters event, especially the highest level. Every hundredth of a second is an invisible threshold.

"Ye Qin, what do you think? Are you stressed?"

Everyone was silent for a while after Chen Zhongzhou finished talking about the Rieti Grand Prix and Asafaville broke the world record again. Yuan Guohua turned to look at Ye Qin who was silent, with a smile on his face, and asked Ye Qin.

"Well, there is pressure." Ye Qin didn't hide it, nodded.

This pressure from a strong opponent is obvious, especially after the Osaka World Championships, before him, or in front of the entire track and field team, that is the next 2008 Yanjing Olympics.

As the host's home player, this year's World Championships men's 100m and 200m double champion, you can imagine how much Chinese people expect for his performance in the Olympics next year.

Not to mention anything else, after the track and field team ended the World Championships and returned to China, they didn't actually take a long rest. There was an invisible string in everyone's heart that was tense.

It is still far from being able to enjoy the glory and accept the cheers.

The reason why Asafaville is known as the world’s first man in men’s 100 meters is not only because he set the world record for men’s 100 meters, but also because he ran a world record of 9.77 seconds and ran three times in a row. Tie the world record.

And in 2006, he ran ten times within 10 seconds, maintaining an almost complete victory in the men's 100m race throughout the year. Unfortunately, he did not perform well in the final finals of the Osaka World Championships.

But even Yeqin himself, who has absolute self-confidence, dare not really think that his current men's 100 meters level is above Asafaville.

Now, only a week after the World Championships, Asafaville has once again rectified himself with a new world record of 9.74 seconds. This talented athlete from Jamaica, the sprinter's strength, really makes people feel a powerful force. Sense of oppression.

"Can I win the championship at the Bird's Nest next year?"

One week after the end of the Asafaville World Championships, he broke the world record again, and Yeqin fell into this question for a time.

There will be no one who will always win in the track and field. Ye Qin knows this very well, but the more he understands this, the more he understands the challenges he will face a year later.

"Okay, let's do this first."

Yuan Guohua and Li Qi also saw Ye Qin's shock to him that Asafaville broke the world record again, and clapped their hands to make everyone come back to their senses.

"Everyone continues to train. Tomorrow we will go to the Shenghai Xinzhuang training base, and there will be a grand prix at the Shenghai station at the end of the month."

After speaking, Yuan Guohua looked at Ye Qin again, and smiled: "Don’t worry, Jason Gaby and Asa Favel will also participate in the Grand Prix in Shenghai this year. However, I heard that Asa Faville should be participating in the men's 200m race."

"Men's 200 meters?" Ye Qin's eyes lightened slightly, and he probably understood Asafaville's thoughts after a little thought.

After losing in the men's 100 meters at the Osaka World Championships, he came to Shenghai Station again to participate in the Grand Prix. If the men's 100 meters, he and Jason Gaby are likely to encounter him and Jason Gaby again. The participation in the men's 200 meters is obviously to stagger.

At least losing to Yechin or Jason Gaby in the 200m event is not as unacceptable as the men's 100m for Asafaville.

"I will compete with you again. Then, everyone should see you in the 08 season." Ye Qin silently thought about the next game and the next year.

...

United States, Arkansas.

A creaking iron door sounded at the door of a prison, and a gray-haired black man wearing a plain wide T-shirt walked out under the leadership of two white prison guards with big bellies.

"Good luck, Lance."

"Don't come back, Mr. Brouman."

The two prison guards laughed and greeted the gray-haired black man in a relaxed tone, apparently very familiar with the old black man.

"Of course I won't come back again. I'm not happy if you pay me to live in." Lance Blaumann smiled and shook hands with the two of them one by one, and then pointed to the back of the prison gate, "The hotel's service is not very good. , You waiters are not qualified."

"Hahaha...get off, old man!" The prison guard laughed loudly, raising his leg as if he wanted to kick the other person's ass.

"Hey, now I'm out of prison, be careful I sue you for personal injury." Lance Blauman slightly moved away from the side and cried, pointing at the other party.

"Goodbye, Lance!" The two prison guards laughed for a while, then narrowed their smiles and waved their hands.

"Back again, Bruce, Joe, I'll buy you a drink if I have a chance."

Lance Blaumann smiled and waved, turned his head and took a deep breath. After more than two years of imprisonment was finally over, life in prison was not very colorful, especially his half-a-hundred old black man in it. , It is not interesting, but now, I can finally breathe the breath of freedom.

Carrying a luggage bag on his back, Lance Blauman stood at the gate of the prison for a moment. He was a sprint coach at the University of Arkansas before he was put in prison. Although not much financially ample, he actually achieved it. The level of the average middle class in the United States.

But more than two years passed in a flash, and the happy family was shattered. The wife and him went through the divorce procedures, and the custody of the children was in the hands of the wife. The house and other property are also on the side of his wife. He can now step out of the prison gate, but he is completely alone.

The iron door of the prison behind him was closed, but Lance Blaumann stood at the door but was slightly dazed, unable to figure out where he should go for a while.

Even, there is a peculiar feeling in my mind that it is not as comfortable as living in prison.

"The sun shines on your shoulders, like a free man."

Lance Blauman looked up at the vast sky and murmured a line from a movie he had seen.

"Buzz"

There was a sudden roar of the car engine, and a black high-end Chevrolet pickup suddenly stopped in front of him.

"Huh?" Lance Blaumann looked at the stopped car with a little suspicion, and soon the co-driver's glass window was pulled down, and a voice came from inside.

"Hitchhiking, buddy!"

"No..." Lance Blaumann wanted to refuse instinctively, and suddenly saw the person in the driver's seat clearly, and suddenly couldn't help but get excited.

"Jason, why are you here? Why are you? Damn, shouldn't you participate in the Golden League in Europe now?" Lance Blauman yelled incoherently.

"Compared to the competitions held every year, I think it might be more important to be a driver for a while." Jason Gaby looked at the middle-aged black man standing there with a smile on his face and patted the co-pilot next to him lightly. Made the backrest, "Now, Mr. Blaumann, please get in the car."

"You guy..." Lance Blauman smiled.

No one could not be moved at this time. Two years of prison life passed. It was not his family who came to pick him up at the prison gate, but one of his students, the sprint genius he had carefully guided.

The opponent didn't forget about himself, but instead pushed a lot of games to pick him up. This feeling of being valued is really great.

Pulling the car door and getting into the passenger, Lance Blauman still has an excited smile on his face.

The middle-aged black man is not good at expressing his innermost feelings. He just stretched out his hand to make a fist and lightly touched the fist handed by the opponent.

"Jason, although your World Championship is over, I don't think you should actually come. Your game this season is not over yet?"

Although the conditions in prison in the United States are not very good, news and news can still be received. Lance Blauman knows Jason Gaby’s performance in the World Championships and won silver medals in the men’s 100 meters and 200 meters. Some regrets, but this is the game, so he hopes Jason Gaby can continue to play instead of returning to the United States to pick him up from prison.

After the World Championships, there are still three Golden Leagues in Europe and several grand prix games. For athletes who are improving and growing, they are all worth honing and participating in.

"I know, coach." Jason Gaby smiled, "It's just a few games. In contrast, I need your guidance more. My opponent is too strong."

Having said this, Jason Gaby paused suddenly, looking through the windshield to the road ahead, "Asafaville set the world record again, just yesterday."

"What?" Lance Blauman showed a look of surprise in his eyes, then calmed down again, and shook his head. "Asafaville has this strength. He has already tied the world record three times. I thought this time the World Championships. He might beat you, but... the result is the other Chinese instead."

Although he has been in prison in the past few years, he has not given less guidance to Jason Gaby. For a while, Jason Gaby was still in prison for analysis and training plans. Therefore, the situation of the IAAF players in all fields is still as precious.

"Are you still willing to accept my guidance? I know you have hired Jon Drummond, that guy is a good hand, he can bring you a lot of progress." Lance Blaumann continued. .

"No, that's not enough." Jason Gaby shook his head slightly, "My opponent is getting stronger and improving, and I also need to get stronger. Asafaville, Yechin, Yousse Bot , Wallace Spielmont, these people are very powerful."

When Jason Gaby heard that Asafaville broke the world record again after returning to China, his emotions were quite complicated. He believes that many people actually know that Asafaville has the ability to break the world record again, but he did not expect that this record will happen for the first time after his defeat in the World Championships.

Want to win Asafaville, Yechin, and others, Jason Gaby understands that he needs to receive more systematic training and hurry up to improve himself before the Olympics.

"So, coach, I hope I can still get your guidance." Jason Gaby looked at Lance Blauman with scorching eyes, and said word by word, "I want to be the number one in the world, I need your help."

Lance Blauman leaned back in his seat, silent.

It was not that he was resisting the invitation initiated by Jason Gaby, but that he inadvertently remembered the scene when the two met for the first time.

Back in 2000, Tyson Gay was still a high school student at Lafayette High School. After Lance Blauman accidentally watched one of his high school games, he persuaded Jason to go. The Barton College where he was located became one of his athletes. Later, he was hired by the University of Arkansas as a track and field coach, and Jason Gaby followed him all the way and followed him into the University of Arkansas.

The two have worked together for five years, and they are arguably the most familiar with each other.

After a long time, Lance Blauman sighed leisurely, looked at Jason Gaby, and laughed, "Why not? It’s not that good to know that a black man with a criminal record wants to find a good-paying job. Easy."

"Haha, I knew you would promise me." Jason Gaby suddenly honked the horn twice and laughed excitedly. "Next week, coach, I will take you to Shenghai, China, where you will participate in the Grand Prix. , You can observe my opponents up close."

...

Kingston, Jamaica.

A track and field training ground at the foot of the most famous Blue Mountain Coffee Mountain in the world.

In the early morning, the fog in the mountains was still drifting, the eastern sun climbed out of the hillside, and the dazzling sunlight fell on the blue and white track of the track and field.

"Oh, Yosef, I'm dazzled, Yosef, you came so early?"

At the side of the track and field competition, a young black man carrying a luggage was standing on the side of the track and field competition, looking at a tall figure already warming up on the track, and suddenly yelled in surprise.

"Daniel, you are late." The potbellied Glenn Mills heard the sound behind him, turned around and shouted at the talking young black man.

"Mr. Mills, it's not that I'm late, it's..." Daniel Bailey pointed to him and Youssé Bot. "You guys are suddenly much earlier than before. I can't believe it, Youssie- Bot would actually wake up early."

Glenn laughed. He understood the meaning of Daniel Bailey's words, Youssé Bot. Since he took over the opponent's training in 2004, he has been in a state of dying for almost every morning training day.

Either I can't get up, or after getting up, I feel like sleepwalking on the track and field. After several tossings, Glen Mills didn't care about him anymore. Instead, he adjusted the training time of Youssé Bot to the afternoon and evening.

Daniel Bailey joined his runners club in the second half of this year and accepted his guidance in the men's 100m and 200m. Glenn Mills directly used Daniel Bailey as Yousse Bot's training partner. The relationship between people is very good.

As Daniel Bailey saw this morning, it’s really rare that Youssef Bot was in serious training early in the morning, and it’s no wonder he was so surprised.

In the arena, a figure on the runway quickly started from the starting blocks and ran wildly at an astonishing speed.

In just ten or twenty seconds, the starter had already circled the half-circle of the runway. The strong wind passed by, and the image of the person crossed the finish line like lightning.

"Yuse, you came so early today, this is not your style!"

Daniel Bailey watched that Youssef Bot had stopped, smiled and leaned over to say hello, "Really man, didn't you mean a holiday? After participating in the World Championships, you are ready to take a few days to rest?"

"There is no vacation, just go back to see my mom and dad."

Youssef Bot took a long breath and reached out and touched Daniel Bailey. "Furthermore, Asafaville broke the world record again, which makes me feel that I might be able to run faster."

"You're fast enough." Daniel Bailey snorted. The news that Asafaville broke the world record these days has been blasted again in Jamaica.

Although many people still criticize Asafaville's failure to win a medal at the World Championships, the new world record at this time has at least made everyone's grievances against him slightly less.

In a sense, in the men's 100m World Championships, Asafaville is fully capable of winning the championship, at least he lost his mentality in the end.

"not enough!"

Youssé Bot shook his head, "You move faster and I will continue training."

"Isn't it." Daniel Bailey knows Youssef Bot well, watching Youssef Bot's uncharacteristic and completely immersed mental state in training makes him a little uncomfortable.

Youssé Boll didn't pay attention, but began to practice starting and accelerating over and over again.

His huge height and physique ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ are the most disadvantaged in terms of starting and acceleration. As long as these two points are made up, he will have the confidence to compete with all the top athletes in the world.

At this point in time, the 2007 season has not ended, and there are still many Grand Prix Golden Leagues. The reason why he gave up and returned to Jamaica early was to start his own training plan.

Men's 100m training program.

If I did not set foot on the 100-meter track, then I would be a spectator with peace of mind.

Now I am coming. I stepped onto the 100-meter track, so, whether it is Jason Gaby, Yechin, or Asafaville, you will be my opponents with me on the starting line!

I will run faster than all of you!

The 2007 World Championships are over. For Yousse Bot, there is only one goal left now, the 2008 Olympics and the Yanjing Olympics!

That's where he once fell, and now he wants to get up and prove himself.
