Chapter 109 Tyson, I am your fan!
June 11th is the day of the Diamond League New York Station.
Tyson Gayin had just gotten out of the car and was about to walk to the warm-up field, but he was blocked by many media reporters and could not move forward.
"Tyson, are you confident you can beat Mullins today?"
"Steven Mullins ran 9.80 seconds in Eugene, which is only 0.01 seconds away from your best time this year. What do you think your chances of winning this game are?"
"You will be 29 years old this year. Do you think it is possible for you to break your own national record?"
"..."
There have been countless similar problems like these in the past few days, and Tyson Gayin has long been accustomed to them.
However, when the reporter mentioned the name "Steven Mullins", Tyson Guyon's heart still fluctuated.
Today he once again set foot on the Yinkan Stadium in New York, where he witnessed the rise of Usain Bolt three years ago and also declared that the men's 100m event belongs to Jamaican "rule".
Since the 2005 Athens Grand Prix, when Asafa Powell broke the 100-meter world record in 9.77 seconds, there have been three people in Jamaica who have run within 9.80 seconds.
Asafa Powell, Usain Bolt, Nesta Carter.
Just 7 days ago, Steven Mullins, who was less than 5 months younger than him, set a new personal best time of 9.80 seconds at the Diamond League Eugene Station.
9.80 seconds, which ranks sixth in history among men’s 100-meter personal best times in the world.
Among the top six people in the world, four belong to Jamaica and two belong to the United States.
Faced with this situation, Tyson Guyon even felt a little desperate, because all four players from Jamaica are active players, and the other American player is Maurice Green, who has retired for three years.
Tyson Gayin often feels that he is alone. Since the Osaka World Championships in 2007, he has only won one silver medal at the Berlin World Championships.
Although he dominated the Diamond League last year and even beat Usain Bolt once, he still couldn't be happy.
Now in the 100-meter event in the United States, Terrell Kimmons and Travis Patton are both very good. Ryan Bailey, who was born in 1989, also ran 9.90 seconds.
But it is not enough. It is far from enough to challenge Jamaica's dominance in the 100m, 200m and 4x100m events.
Tyson Gayon pins part of his hopes on Justin Gatlin, who returned last year. He is a former Athens Olympic champion and double champion in Helsinki. If he can return to his peak strength, it will undoubtedly be a great benefit to the American relay team.
news.
I heard that Ralph Mann, the world's top biomechanics expert, has also begun to provide him with guidance under the promotion of the American Athletic Association to help him return to his former peak level. Tyson Guyon is very much looking forward to this.
But before Justin Gatlin returns to his peak, he still has to work hard to hold up the 100-meter event in the United States, and today, he has to face the sixth man in history - Steven Mullins.
Tyson Gayin himself was not sure about his chances of winning this game. Although he also ran 9.79 seconds in the Clermont NTC Sprint Series on June 4, his power in that game was too strong.
After it was over, he felt that his groin injury was showing signs of recurrence.
This is a dangerous sign. Tyson Gayin knows that if he wants to continue to compete with Bolt at this year's Daegu World Championships, he must first ensure that his body is at least able to run.
He is 29 years old and must always pay attention to protect his body.
However, in this game, he will definitely not deliberately give in. This is related to the dignity of the American people!
"I am very happy to compete with Steven Mullins. Congratulations to him for becoming the sixth man in history. Today's game will be very exciting!"
Tyson Guyon answered with these words, and then, under the protection of his agent and assistants, he squeezed into the warm-up field and began to prepare for the battle.
After entering the warm-up field of Yinkan Stadium, as usual, I handed my backpack and belongings to the anti-doping organization staff for inspection, and then conducted a pre-match urine test.
After completing this series of things that every professional athlete must complete, Tyson Gayon officially started to warm up.
The weather was not kind today, it rained quite a bit at noon, and judging from the cloud pattern in the sky, it seemed like it was going to happen again.
Furthermore, today's wind speed problem is very bad for athletes participating in the 100-meter and triple jump events.
The 100-meter track and the long jump/triple jump track both face north and south, and the wind happened to be blowing from the south today. The key is that the wind is not light.
"Hey Tyson!"
Tyson Gayin looked up and found that he was an East Asian.
He knew the young man in front of him, Wei En, and he had often heard people mention him recently. He himself had watched the two Diamond League games that Wei En had participated in this year.
"Hey kid, what's up?"
The Chinese kid named Wayne, well, he was born in 1992. Tyson Guyon thought there was nothing wrong with calling him "kid".
The Chinese "child" in his eyes showed a sunny smile, took out a photo album from his backpack, opened one of the pages and said, "I am your fan, can you please sign it?"
Tyson Guyon raised his head and saw that it was a photo of him winning three gold medals at the Osaka World Championships. It seemed that he was a fan.
"Of course, I'm very happy to have such an excellent fan like you!" Tyson Gayin took the pen from Wei En and carefully signed his name on it.
"I often hear my coach, Mr. Lance Blauman, mention you recently, saying that your sprinting skills are very good and you have great potential for improvement. Come on, kid!"
Wayne suppressed a smile and took back the photo album. It seems that Tyson Gayin hasn't understood the meaning of "I am your fan". If it were Bolt, it is estimated that when he said "I am",
He had already covered his mouth.
"Hey Tyson, it's time to warm up!"
"Okay, come right away!"
Tyson Guyon didn't look back because he was extremely familiar with the person who reminded him to warm up.
Wayne looked behind him and saw Wallace Spearmon with long muscle patches on his thighs. He wondered: "Isn't that Wallace? I remember there was no list of him on the 100-meter event.
Yeah, there’s no 200-meter race today either…”
Tyson Gayin replied while changing his shoes: "He went to Jamaica to participate in the Kingston Invitational Tournament in early May. After returning home, he strained the injury. It has not healed for a month. So, our coach Mr. Browman
Just let him follow me and be my sparring partner for the time being."
"That's really...haha."
Wei En didn't know whether he should say something or not. After all, considering the time, Tyson Guyon's injuries that had never healed were about to break out.
Isn't this a coincidence?
Spearmon suffered a season-ending injury, and Tyson Guyon was also injured shortly afterwards. We are two brothers in distress.
