Born to Run

　　 "Yep Chin, great!"

　　 After the men’s 400-meter finish line was over, Zhou Bin, the leader of the World Junior Championships from the sidelines, ran over and gave Ye Qin a big hug.

　　 He is the leader of the delegation, but he attended the game in Yeqin as a coach. Sherbrooke Stadium is an open stadium, so after the game, he was not blocked off the court.

The result of 48.07 is not much better than Yeqin’s test results at the Yanjing Tianguan Center. However, considering that it was a hand-recording time at the time, and now it is in the arena of a few games in the world, Yeqin can fully display his strength. , Getting the first performance in the group is enough to excite him.

　　 At this time, in the world-class men's sprint events of large-scale track and field events, very few Chinese athletes can compete in the competition, and it is extremely rare to want to run the second shot rematch or semi-final.

　　 Ye Qin has now successfully qualified for the semi-finals. Even if he missed the finals later, Zhou Bin felt it was worth it.

　　 "Thank you Zhou for your guidance!"

　　 won the first group preliminaries, Yeqin was also a little excited.

　　 There were also intermittent applause from the sidelines. Although not many, there were still others who paid attention to him and applauded his wonderful performance in winning the group championship.

　　 "What's wrong, what are you looking at?"

　　 Zhou Bin with a slightly excited expression noticed that Ye Qin's gaze had been sweeping back and forth near the finish line, and asked strangely.

　　 Ye Qin looked through the crowd, and found the third American player he had won.

　　 At exactly this time, the other party also looked over, his eyes were calm, and there was no anger because Ye Chin finally broke out and grabbed his first place in the group. After all, he also got the spot in the group stage. It’s just that Ye Qin is also looking at Ye Qin, as if he is re-recognizing and noticing this emerging Chinese player.

　　 "The third American player is very strong!"

　　 Even though he didn't even remember the opponent's name, his performance on the field just now gave Yechin the first time he felt the level of the best athletes among his peers.

　　 This is the preliminaries. The opponent started very casually. In the end, he was overtaken by himself.

　　 Obviously he has reservations. This is the first time Ye Qin has encountered such a high-level opponent.

"Of course." Zhou Bin smiled, "The United States is a big country in track and field. In the World Series, almost all of the men's 400 meters are taken by them. The players who can be selected to participate in the World Junior Championships are unlikely to be bad. It’s not easy for you to qualify for the semi-finals. It’s a pity that no reporters will come to interview you right away, otherwise you will show up in China."

　　 "Reporter interview?" Ye Qin glanced at Zhou Bin with some suspicion, then turned to glance at the many people holding video cameras and hanging work cards on the sidelines. He had never thought about the interview Zhou Bin said.

"It's still early! Let's go, put on your clothes and rest!" Zhou Bin patted Ye Qin's back lightly. The attention of the World Junior Games was not high enough. Although there were many reporters on the sidelines, Most of them are foreign or local, and a preliminary match simply cannot attract their attention.

　　 And the domestic media, in the face of competitions like the World Junior Championships, did not send special reporters to follow.

　　 Ye Qin nodded, and followed Zhou Bin to leave the arena, but the whole person seemed to be a little immersed in the game just now.

　　 "I ran a little slow in the first half." Ye Qin thought silently, his own performance in this race.

　　 In this preliminaries, Yechin ran according to the rhythm of the previous training. He has not experienced too many competitions in China. In the Provincial Youth Track and Field Championships, his running style can already lead others.

　　 But on the stage of the world arena, there is obviously a deviation.

　　 The 400-meter project pays attention to the speed of the whole course, but if you are too much dropped in the first half, just sprinting in the second half is not enough.

　　 Leaving the track and field, Ye Qin rested in the backcourt. After the sweat dried out on his body, he put on his clothes and followed Zhou Bin back to the stands of the Chinese delegation.

　　 The head of the Chinese team, including head Ye Lidong, coach Wang Shouyang, team doctor Jiang Shaofen, and other games and athletes who did not play, all came up to express congratulations to Ye Qin.

　　 After all, in the men's short-distance sprint event, it is a very good result to be able to hear the second shot in a world-class competition.

　　 "Yep Chin, you work harder, 400 meters into the final, and the 200 meters from the day after tomorrow, you also successfully advanced to the final, so that by the time the 13th, we will both have a competition!"

　　 Wu Jiang in the same dormitory saw Ye Qin walk over, put his thick arms on his shoulders, and said with a grin.

On July 13th, there were not many players in the Chinese delegation who participated in the competition. Although the competition was only three or four days old, the entire team came only fifteen or six. The competition was mainly concentrated in these two. day.

　　 "Well, I also want to enter the finals. 200 meters may be more difficult to run than 400 meters." Ye Qin knew that Wu Jiang was only joking, but he answered very seriously.

　　 Men’s 400m race, the preliminaries are today on July 10, the semi-finals are on July 11, and the final is on July 12.

　　 If he can successfully advance to the 400-meter final, on July 12, the men’s 200-meter preliminaries will also start.

The men’s 200-meter race is also three shots. The preliminaries start at 10:05 am on July 12th, the semi-finals are at 10:45 am on July 13th, and the final is at 15:05 pm on July 13th. Minute.

　　 For Yeqin, the most stressful time for the competition is July 12th. There will be not only the 200-meter preliminaries but also the 400-meter finals on that day. Of course, the premise is that he can qualify for the 400m semi-finals tomorrow and get the last eight places to participate in the 400m finals.

　　 Before coming to Sherbrooke, Nie Fangping probably analyzed it with him during the few days of training at the Field Management Center.

He should be the most outstanding among his peers in China, but he is not a big deal in world-class competitions. After all, young talented athletes abound everywhere in the world~www.mtlnovel. com~European and American athletes themselves have advantages in sprinting, especially some black athletes, who almost dominate sprint events. It is very difficult to match them. And at this age, many black and white athletes are more mature, and many talented athletes have reached the level of world-class adult athletes.

　　 In other words, the concept is that although the age of the contestants in the World Junior Championships is generally young, in the sprint event, some players have already exceeded the best level in China.

Coming to participate in the World Junior Championships, Nie Fangping did not demand any results from Yeqin, and the Chinese team did not put any pressure on Yeqin, but Yeqin knew that Nie Fangping’s prospects for his results were that he could qualify for the semi-finals, and of course it would be best to qualify for the finals. .

　　 In the men's 400 meters to advance to the semi-finals, whether it is against the Chinese team or Nie Fangping, who is still waiting in Yanjing, Ye Qin can be considered to have completed the task. This is the first time to participate in the World Junior Championships. In the men's sprint event, it is enough to have such a performance.

　　 On the field, the remaining three groups of the men's 400m race are still going on. Soon Ye Chin also knew the results of all the players in the men's 400m six-group preliminaries.

Among them, there are three players who have better results than him in the preliminaries. They are 47.50 seconds for Sudanese players in the first group of preliminaries, 47.84 seconds for Dominican players in the second group of preliminaries, and 47.57 seconds for Namibia players in the fifth group of preliminaries. All three of them scored. It took 48 seconds.

　　 There are also seven or eight players between 48 seconds and 49 seconds. These will be his main opponents in the semifinals.

　　Of course, there are many experienced players who have reservations in the preliminaries. For example, like the American player he met in the group stage, Yechin will compete with them for the final place.
