Born to Run

Chapter 89: Sherbrooke

   Sherbrooke is located in southern Quebec, Canada. It is the sixth largest city in Quebec and the 30th largest city in Canada.

   Sherbrooke has been a traditional manufacturing center since the nineteenth century. With the development of the times, due to the decline of Sherbrooke’s traditional manufacturing sector, the tourism service industry has gradually occupied a prominent position in the city’s economy in recent decades. In addition, there is a growing knowledge-based economy that has become the city’s development. New power.

   Sherbrooke has eight local colleges and universities, which is the area with the largest number of students in Quebec. Every year, international students from all over the world study here and become a major boost to local development, with a direct economic impact of more than 1 billion US dollars.

   "The venue of our game is at the University of Sherbrooke. Everyone should follow the team leader and coach. They must obey the arrangement. Don't run around and act alone. If you encounter any problems, please tell my coach or head Ye in time."

   In front of the exit of Sherbrooke Airport, a team of more than 20 people walked out of the airport slowly under the five-star red flag. Team leader Zhou Bin stood in front of the crowd, looked at the dozens of team members, coaches and other staff behind, and shouted loudly.

   Ye Qin stood in the middle of the line, looking at the clean airport, and the people with high noses, deep eyes and different skin colors passing by from time to time, still a little trance.

   After Nie Fangping and Tongshi Wen visited his home, his grandfather did not raise any objections to his going abroad to compete. Although grandma initially disagreed, but finally reluctantly agreed with his grandfather and his persuasion.

   After returning to school, he continued to study and attend classes at the same pace as before.

   On June 27, after completing the final exam at Xiushui No. 2 Middle School, he and Nie Fangping drove directly to Chong'an Airport, from Chong'an Airport to Yanjing, and then to the Tianguan Center of Yanjing for training.

  Intensive training is one aspect, mainly for young athletes and coaches who go abroad for the first time to explain some precautions and life details.

  The third World Junior Championships was held in Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada, from July 9th to July 13th.

   The Chinese delegation departed from China four days in advance. The ten-hour flight was fleeting. When they stepped on the ground again, they were already abroad. Looking back on this past week, it feels like a dream.

"Ye Qin, here is a foreign country. You are usually with Liu Feng and Wu Jiang. If you have any difficulties in life, you can come to me directly, or the leader Ye and Zhou. Before you come, coach Nie The coach talked to me for a long time.” A gentle voice sounded beside Ye Qin. Standing behind Ye Qin was a middle-aged man in his forties, who was quite sturdy, and he was very kind to Ye Qin. Qin said.

   "Thank you Coach Wang."

The middle-aged man in front of Ye Qinchao thanked him. He has known each other these days. This is the coach Wang Shouyang from the Sunan Provincial Sports School. He brought four athletes to the competition this time. He is the team of the World Junior Championships. One of the three coaches accompanying him.

Due to the limited number of people, in addition to the 16 athletes, the other entourages are only team leader Ye Lidong, team leader Zhou Bin, three coaches, four translators, foreign affairs liaison staff and physical therapy and health care personnel, forming a 23-person representative. Team.

And Nie Fangping, due to the limitation of the number of delegations this time, was unable to come to Sherbrooke in Canada with Yeqin. He was only sponsored by Yeqin’s Field Management Center. After Yeqin finished the competition, he would pick him up and go back together. .

   "Liu Feng, Wu Jiang, you two, take care of Ye Qin. This is his first time going abroad." Wang Shouyang looked at Ye Qin, and then said to the two tall figures next to him.

   "It's okay, Coach Wang, I will take care of myself."

   Ye Qin waved his hand again and again. He used to go out to compete with Yan Ning or Nie Fangping, and he was taken care of by them. Although he was a young person ignorant, he still felt a sense of dependence in his heart.

In this World Junior Games, his delegation, except for the leader Ye Lidong and the team leader Zhou Bin, he knew the coach Wang Shouyang Wang in front of him. The opponent and his own coach Nie Fangping are not familiar with each other, but because Nie Fangping knows the Qianwei Sports Association. Because of coach Zhao Youcheng, he especially came to contact him. I hope that Wang Shouyang can pay more attention to Ye Qin when he is abroad.

Although Wang Shouyang is the coach of the sports school in Southern Jiangsu Province, he has taken athletes to participate in the World Middle School Games, Asian Youth Championships, and World Junior Games since nine years. His experience in this area is more than that of the head of the delegation. And the leader must be rich.

   Although I don’t know much about the men's 400m and 200m contestants who have suddenly added to the team, since they can be selected for the team, naturally they will pay more attention.

   After all, he is also a coach who takes young athletes all the year round. He knows that young people of this age will go abroad to compete, especially for players from 161 countries in the World Junior Championships. This is a big scene and it is easy to get nervous. In addition, there is also the time difference, the local climate, the venue, the requirements of the game, the situation of the opponents, etc., are all factors that need to be considered.

   "Don't worry, coach, if we live together, we will meet and take care of each other."

   After Wang Shouyang's voice fell, a strong young man beside Ye Qin patted Ye Qin's shoulder with a grin and said.

   Another tall boy with a suitcase in his hand smiled and said: "Coach, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is also our first time to go abroad!"

   "This is the first time for you, you can look at your size." Wang Shouyang smiled and pointed to the bodies of the two of them, "Why don't you suffer?"

   Ye Qin looked at the two people standing beside him, feeling helpless for a while.

One of them was named Liu Feng and the other named Wu Jiang. Liu Feng participated in the men’s shot put event, and Wu Jiang was in the men’s special event. Both of them were a lap larger than the people Yeqin had contact with. The height is more than 1.9 meters, and the weight is more than 200 kilograms. Compared with the many European and American tall athletes he saw when he got off the plane, he was not too worried.

   The ages of the three people are actually not much different, but Liu Feng and Wu Jiang both have more game experience than Yeqin. And from the point of view of body size, Ye Qin's current height is only 1.77 meters, standing in front of them almost like a child. No wonder, Wang Shouyang hoped that the two would pay more attention to Ye Qin.

   Within a few days of entering the representative team, there were always more than a dozen athletes. Because Nie Fangping and Wang Shouyang had greeted him, Ye Qin was familiar with Liu Feng and Wu Jiang under his hands.

In addition, there are two female athletes Jiang Limin and Xiao Juan with Wang Shouyang. One is for women's javelin and the other is for women's shot put. In terms of physique, Xiao Juan, who is also female javelin, is considered normal, and Jiang Limin, who is also long in women's shot, is also long. It is extremely tall and strong.

In    throwing events, the two requirements of the shot discus are generally absolute strength qualities, and the body shape of the selected materials is relatively tall and strong, which is the type of five big and three thick in the usual sense. In addition to strength, javelin throwers also need to take into account speed. They can use short distance sprints and have explosive power. They are generally more symmetrical than discus shot throwers in body selection.
