Chapter 107 Montreuil Track and Field Games (Battle against Blake)(1/2)
"We have a good show tonight, Wayne, who do you think has a better chance of winning this game, you or Blake?"
In the inspection area, Jimmy Waycott, who is more than six months older than Wayne, looked a little excited.
He and Wei En had been opponents in last year's World Youth Championship in Moncton. At that time, they were impressed by Wei En's "god-like" performance. This time Wei En came to Paris to train with the French national team, which was considered official.
became friends.
"Huh huh? Christophe is still around. Why don't you add his name? Aren't you afraid that France's 100-meter brother will put on your shoes?" Wayne joked.
Lemaitre was also made to laugh by Wayne, "During the warm-up, you kept staring at Yohan Blake. How could you still see me in your eyes?"
Wayne and Vicott looked at each other and smiled. Unexpectedly, Lemaitre, who had always been serious, also knew how to joke. The sun was really rising in the west.
However, Vicott's words did reflect a phenomenon. Although the French media still put Lemaître first when reporting, the rest of the European media focused on Wynn and Blake.
The age difference between the two is less than 3 years, and they both became famous at a young age.
Wei En is the current world youth record holder in the men's 100 meters, with a time of 9.94 seconds set at the Diamond League Rome Station.
Coincidentally, Yohan Blake also set a world youth record of 9.96 seconds at the 2009 Golden League Rome Station, becoming the first young man in history to break the 10-second mark in the 100-meter event.
athlete.
Seven days later, on July 17, Blake broke the record to 9.93 seconds in the Paris Golden League. However, these two results were eventually banned by the International along with the other three games due to suspicion of taking banned drugs.
The Athletics Federation has been cancelled.
He is also a talented boy, and Wei En once defeated Asafa Powell in the Diamond League Magic City, so the media deliberately created an atmosphere of "Sino-Japanese War" and focused on Wei En.
And Blake.
"To be honest, I really want to compete with him." Wayne glanced at Blake, who had just returned from taking urine samples, "For me at the moment, he is indeed the best opponent."
Yohan Blake and Wayne looked at each other. He couldn't understand the French in Wayne's mouth, but he could understand the look in Wayne's eyes.
It's impossible for him not to understand that look, because that's how he looked at Bolt.
"Look, he's responding to you with his eyes, as if to say: Come on over!" Jimmy Vicott encouraged.
In fact, without Vicott's reminder, Wayne had already read Blake's eyes.
Glad you're taking on the challenge, Blake.
He is temporarily unable to challenge Bolt, and Blake is the best opponent he can find at the moment.
The same youth, the same talent, the same pursuit of excellence.
Lemaitre and Vicott beside him didn't know how high this [Beast] could reach, but Wei En knew clearly.
Wayne doesn't know whether 9.69 and 19.26 are [Beast] Blake's limits.
But what Wai En knows is that if Blake can avoid a grade three hamstring strain, he can at least run a few more shots within 9 seconds and 80 seconds.
In this case, in the debate about "who is second in the 100 meters between Gai Yin and Blake?", the shot of 9.69 seconds will not be defined as "chicken blood" due to insufficient results.
After experiencing two serious injuries in 2013 and 2014, although Blake missed the 2015 Yanjing World Championships, he still relied on his indomitable willpower to step onto the stage of the Rio Olympics.
A grade three hamstring strain, a whole muscle was torn inside the body. In order for Blake to be able to return to the track he loved and still be able to run under the 10-second mark, the hardships he put in were extraordinary.
Unimaginable.
"Now I feel more and more that the word [beast] is very suitable for him. His eyes alone can make people feel an inexplicable pressure." Looking at the "browsing" between the two, Jimmy Vee said
Court said.
Wei En nodded, the fighting spirit in his heart already burning.
There are a total of eight contestants in the Montreux track and field competition, but among these contestants, the only one whom Wen really regards as his opponent is Yohan Blake.
Even though Wayne and Powell had a heated battle in the previous Diamond League games in Madrid and Rome, they still had a lively chat in private.
Especially two days before the Diamond League Magic City Station, under the arrangement of Magic City, they went to the "Sunshine House" in District
).
But Blake is different. The two of them are so close in terms of age, talent, and current results, and they are destined to compete with each other.
At 19:20, the sun has not yet set.
With the expectations of the audience, eight athletes entered the competition venue one after another, and the most watched men's 100-meter race at the Montreux track and field competition officially kicked off.
Due to the atmosphere exaggerated by the media before the game, many track and field fans bought tickets to watch the game at the Montreux track and field stadium just for this "Sino-Japanese dispute."
Because of his wonderful performance in the Diamond League Rome station, when the host introduced Wayne, the applause given by the European audience was no weaker than when Blake was introduced. Of course, it was still better than Lemaite.
It's a bit worse.
Nowadays, as long as Lemaitre competes in Europe, the only person who can surpass him in popularity is Bolt. Tyson Gayon and Powell may not be able to surpass him.
The current Lemaître is to Europe what Su Bingtian was to China in 2018.
The light of the race!
"Coach, do you think Youhan will win?"
Outside the track and field, the tall Bolt looked at the athletes on the track one by one. In the middle, on lanes 4, 5, and 6, stood Blake, Wayne and Lemaitre respectively.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I don't dare to draw this conclusion easily." Glenn Mills said expressionlessly, "His current strength has been completely stabilized within 10 seconds.
, but it’s still only the end of May, and it’s still difficult to break into 9.90 seconds.”
"He and Wei En are actually more balanced players, but generally speaking, Wei En has a stronger future, and Youhan has a stronger future. At this stage, the difference in strength between the two of them is very small, and the final victory
It must be after 80 meters."
"Then I still think Youhan can win." Bolt said with a smile.
When Blake transferred to Coach Mills' Runners Club, Bolt was the first person to take the initiative to talk to him. Over the past few years, he has always treated Blake as a younger brother.
Regarding Wayne, Bolt also has good senses, but among the two, he definitely supports Blake more.
------------------
In this game, Wei En wore a Nike sportswear with black as the main body and red on the front of the upper body. Whether it is a Diamond League or other level event, since the athletes compete as "individuals", they will all wear their own sponsored clothing.
Businessman's sportswear.
Only in the Olympic Games, World Championships, Intercontinental Games/Championships, such competitions in the form of national teams, will the national team uniform be worn.
Blake was wearing a green Adidas sportswear, which formed a sharp contrast with Lemaitre and Wynn beside him.
Standing on his own lane 5, Wei En looked around the field.
The Montreux track and field meet is a low-level "D" level under the IAAF event level. However, because it is located in the suburbs of Paris in the center of Europe and is held very close to the Diamond League Paris Station, it is always able to attract people.
Many world-class players come to compete.
Therefore, although the basic conditions of the Montreux track and field stadium are not excellent, the venue is also an outdoor open-air venue, and there are not many seats available for watching the competition, its popularity remains high.
This match was the third match he participated in in 2011, and it was also the third international high-level match. Five of the seven opponents around him were world-class players ranked within the top 30 in the world.
His results in the Diamond League Rome station were a bit disappointing, because he was overtaken by Bolt at the last minute, which caused him to fail to stabilize in the last 10 meters and lost to Asafa Powell.
Before that game, his condition was very good. Although 9.94 seconds broke his own Asian record, Wei En felt that it was not good enough.
Today's game is just like the previous Diamond League Magic City Station. The system still gives additional winning rewards. If he can defeat Blake, he will get 12 attribute points as rewards.
But even if it wasn't for this extra reward, Wayne was extremely eager to defeat Blake.
From the moment he embarked on his career path, he was eager to win everything!
"on your marks~"
After the starter gave the order to get into position, Wei En twisted his neck and made an extremely exaggerated vertical jump, showing his amazing explosive ability to the audience.
At the same time, the spectators at the track and field gradually lowered their voices to create a good listening environment for the athletes who were about to start the competition.
Wei En squatted on the starting block, taking deep breaths to stabilize his body. After finding the correct position on the footrest, his feet were firmly nailed, waiting for the gun to be fired.
The two referees walked around in front of and behind the players, and after confirming that there was no problem with the players' starting posture, they retreated to the side of the track.
At the same time, the starter also raised his starting gun.
"set——"
At the starting line, eight runners made uniform starting movements, and they were ready to go.
The audience at the scene also focused their attention neatly on lanes 4, 5, and 6. Blake, Wayne, and Lemaitre were the best new-generation 100-meter athletes from the three continents of the United States, Asia, and Europe respectively.
On the Montreux track and field, three young heroes of different races are destined to stage a thrilling showdown!
"boom--!"
The gun sounds and the game begins!
Explosive start - start!
In just an instant, Blake and Lemaitre on both sides of Wayne felt a huge pressure.
When Lemaitre's first step was still in the air, when Blake had just reacted and started to stretch, Wayne's first step had already landed heavily on the plastic track!
Starting reaction is 0.121 seconds!
0.121 seconds is not a normal starting reaction data for Wei En. There is only one explanation for why he can perform like this: he pressed the gun!
