Born to Run

"Don't hesitate, let go and run! Now my grades are constantly improving, and my state is just right, not without a chance."

After standing on the runway, Ye Qin felt the noisy surroundings, and quietly encouraged himself.

What Nie Fangping once said to him flashed in his mind. When athletes reach a certain level, they need to go out and go to a larger circle. If you face more powerful opponents, you will make more progress.

This sentence is actually not easy. First of all, to reach a certain level, which almost means to reach the best echelon in the country, and then to go out, this step is even more difficult.

Especially for track and field athletes, the degree of commercialization and the restricted conditions are very many. If you really want to go out to the game, there is a lot of work that needs to be done.

Most of the players he faced in this game were better than him in personal performance, but many athletes were born in 76 or 78 years old and are now at the end of their careers.

In the true sense, the closest age to him is probably Raun Merritt of the sixth lane. Yechin lost one game in the World Youth Championship. This time, for playing with Raun Merritt again, Ye Chin Qin had no idea of ​​revenge in his heart.

"Onyourmarks!"

Before the men's 400-meter starting line, a white starter yelled out their respective commands.

Ye Qin took a breath. This was his second Grand Prix and his first in the United States, a powerful country in track and field.

If you want to prove yourself, you want to chase the figures of people like Dayao and Liu Yangyu, and become world-renowned track and field athletes, you must not perform poorly in the United States.

The men’s 400 meters is the strongest in American track and field. Its powerful dominance is even greater than that of the men’s 100 meters and 200 meters. With Yechin’s reputation, he only appeared in the finals of the Athens Olympics last year. In the 400-meter event, the first round of preliminaries was brushed down. It can be said that when the audience saw an Asian player jumping out of the many black players, they were a little surprised.

However, no one cares about him, an Asian player who has not had amazing results before, and has no honor. It is almost impossible to attract the attention of the media and the audience.

Slowly stepped onto the approach, leaned down, and looked up at the front of the arena.

Spotlights flicker from time to time on the sidelines, and video cameras are aimed at the runway. There is no shortage of camera crews for competitions like the Grand Prix, but whether the final game video can appear on domestic TV is another matter.

Ye Qin can feel the blood boiling from the bottom of his heart, which is the desire to compete that is stimulated by encountering powerful players.

I want to win!

Must win!

It seems that because of the strength of the opponent, the ability to compete with so many top 400-meter runners, or the feeling of the gap, yesterday when the Chinese restaurant was eating with Dayao and Liu Yangyu, the young people’s sensitive heart was able to capture the invisible gap.

The emotions in his heart are a bit turbulent, and a bit excited, he wants to prove himself.

On the road of competitive sports, there is no luck, whether you can succeed, and what kind of success you can achieve. In fact, the measurement standard is very simple, that is, personal achievement and honor.

"On PB, there is still a gap between me and you, but now I am in a better state than you, and I am still on the rise!"

Ye Qin suddenly felt as if he was back in the World Youth Championship, back to the Olympic Games.

In Hayward Stadium, the noisy stadium was silent at this moment.

Whether it is a city of track and field or a large number of student audiences at the University of Oregon, the quality in this aspect is almost completely reflected at this moment.

Keep quiet before the game gunfire.

Everyone lowered their voices and looked nervously at the eight runners before the starting line.

"SET!"

The preparation sound of the starter on the sidelines sounded again.

Before the starting line, the eight runners from the front and back neatly changed from squatting to starting position.

Snapped!

After Ye Qin got up, listening to the sound of gunshots in his ears, he rushed out of the runway suddenly.

He was in the first lane. Because of the number of forwards, all the players were in front of him. This game was particularly simple for his strategy, catching up with everyone, and then surpassing them.

Compared with the Athens Olympics, Yechin’s starting reaction and starting speed have now been significantly improved. He can feel that at least the first half of the 400-meter run in China will not be pulled away by other players. But compared to other players in this group, he is still inferior.

Especially with the acceleration of 30 to 50 meters ahead, Yechin could clearly feel the second Jamaican player Michael Blackwood from the start, widening the gap with him.

Most 400-meter athletes run the first one or two meters at a speed that is not 100%, but basically they can reach 90%, or even 95%, because basically most 400-meter athletes, All have extraordinary pace and good speed keeping ability.

As long as it is not completely rushed too hard or too hard in the first half, completely squeezing all the physical stamina of the body, in the second half, they can all rely on strong endurance and physical stamina to maintain their speed.

This is a sport of speed and endurance.

There must be speed, but also endurance.

Fortunately, Yeqin is not lacking in both, and even compared to absolute speed, many players on the field are not necessarily better than him.

Fifty meters, sixty meters, seventy meters...

Yeqin's speed is constantly improving. He and the second and third runners were slightly slower at the moment of acceleration. After entering the fifty meters, they were not pulled down by others, but Follow steadily.

"No, Ye Qin didn't run right!"

Chen Zhongzhou, who was holding the baffle with both hands on the sidelines, fell into the arena and suddenly his expression became extremely nervous.

He saw that Yeqin's speed in the first half increased much faster than before. As Yeqin's assistant coach, he couldn't be more clear about Yeqin's technical characteristics. He always deliberately controlled the first half of the race, in order to pass the 200 meters Start to accelerate, until the final sprint of tens of meters.

"Chen, you don't need to be nervous." Randy Hunter smiled, "Yepchin runs very well, he is trying!"

"This...?" Chen Zhongzhou was uncertain in his heart, and blurted out, "Coach Randy, you made Yeqin run like this?"

It was the first time Chen Zhongzhou encountered this situation when the athlete changed the rhythm of the game and the technique was not breathless, but suddenly changed the technique in the competition. He wanted to get an answer from Randy Hunter.

He is an assistant coach, but in a sense, he is not like Randy Hunter. He is also responsible to the track management center and the track team.

"Not all." Randy Hunter's eyes kept chasing the running figure of the athletes in the field, with a faint smile on his face, "but I support Ye Qin to try a little bit. He needs a breakthrough."

"But this... too childish..."

In an instant, Chen Zhongzhou understood Randy Hunter's thoughts~www.ltnovel.com~Although Yeqin's current men's 400 meters broke the national record, the recent Osaka Grand Prix did not reflect their expectations. Randy Hunter also hopes that Yechin will try to change.

It's just that this is the Grand Prix, such a change...

Chen Zhongzhou didn't dare to think about it for a while, if Yeqin was the last to cross the finish line, that kind of loss and helplessness.

He and Ye Qin have been together for a long time. In fact, he knows this young man very much. He is low-key and humble. He will not cause trouble to the coaching staff. Perhaps it is because of his poor background. The best one to bring.

But in Ye Qin's inner world, he knew that this young man was actually very strong and had a strong sense of competition.

Can shout to him, I want to become a young man who can match Ali, Bailey, Jordan and other athletes, how can I not be proud in my heart!

He has always hoped to maintain this spirit, and keep warming him up to make him sharper. He doesn't want to break suddenly in this game.
