Born to Run

Chapter 100 - 200m Preliminary (Part 1)

   July 12th.

   Sherbrooke, who had been gloomy for several days, finally started to drizzle.

   In the inspection area, the Jamaican youth team coach McNeill’s face was darker than today’s weather, and his eyes seemed to burst into flames, staring at the tall black teenager who had just finished warming up.

“Yuse, I don’t care about you withdrawing from the race yesterday without permission. However, in this 200-meter race, I will never allow you to make any more mistakes. You know what this race means to you, countless Jamaicans. Everyone is looking at you, you can’t make some mistakes!”

   “Yes, coach, I will definitely win the championship!”

   The tall black teenager was panting slightly. Today’s weather was a bit cold. He did several warm-ups quite adequately. After hearing McNeill’s roar, he nodded hurriedly.

“It’s good if you understand!” McNeill moved his strong body and pointed at other runners who were warming up in the distance. “You are the most promising sprinter in Jamaica and the champion of the 2002 World Youth Championship. In the World Junior Championships, no one will be your opponent, so you must not make mistakes. If you fail to win the championship, I will count your 400-meter withdrawal at that time.”

   “Don’t worry, coach! 200 meters is my favorite, I will definitely be the champion!”

   “Huh, let’s wait until you compare! Youssé-Bot, you are a troublesome spirit!” McNeill’s expression eased a little, but his mouth was still a little reluctant.

   The black boy looked at McNeill’s stern expression and made a stubborn mouth, but at last he converged, not daring to show a hippy smile again.

   Warming up yesterday, pretending to be injured, and then retiring after running a few steps in the semi-finals, he has already made the coach in front of him furious, so he dare not touch this mold again.

   However, even if McNeil doesn’t say this, he will go all out on the 200 meters, which is his favorite project.

200 meters and 400 meters are not too harsh for the starting requirements. They are just suitable for athletes of his size to accelerate in the first half of the start. Compared with 400 meters, the distance of 200 meters just reaches the critical point of the physical limit. Keep running to the finish line without making yourself too uncomfortable. Moreover, 200 meters provides a long enough distance to allow him to give full play to his long legs and large strides, and his powerful ability in the second half.

   He often feels a bit uncomfortable running 400 meters, and he has lost to many other runners in Jamaica, but 200 meters, as long as he is serious, basically the same age, even three or four years older than him can not match him.

   “I want to break the record of 200 meters in the world, so who else in the coach can say!”

   The black teenager meditated on the importance of this 200-meter to him. He didn’t want to return to Jamaica and start the brutal and inhumane ultra-distance running training every day.

   If you want to be qualified for dialogue, you still have to get results.

In the 400-meter race, he gave up in the semi-finals. If he didn’t run well in the next 200 meters, he couldn’t imagine how people in China would think of him, and how his mother and his family would think of him. .

   In the 2002 World Youth Championship in Kingston, Jamaica, he was only 15 years old and 322 days old, but he won the 200m championship and became the youngest world champion ever in the history of the World Youth Championship.

   At that time, almost all the entire domestic team was celebrating him. It seems that the whole Jamaica is crazy for him. Many people are shouting to him that he is the future of Jamaican sports.

   If the performance is too bad, there will probably be a lot of criticism and doubts.

   He doesn’t like these!

   Thinking of this, he glanced at Coach McNeill who was standing not far away. The opponent treated him well, but he was always dissatisfied with his performance on the 400 meters. His agent, Pelt, has suggested that he needs a higher level coach to coach, and is already in contact with Fitz Kroman, the chief coach of the Kingston High Performance Training Center. It is said that the coaching experience of the opponent suits his characteristics. Under the opponent’s hand, he may have a good performance in the Athens Olympics next year.

   “Yose, get ready, let’s start the roll call!” McNeill’s voice came over.

   “Okay, coach!”

   The black teenager instantly lifted his spirits. As he crossed the runway, the black teenager suddenly noticed a warm-up red figure in his eyes, “Huh, he also participated in the 200m?”

   The Asian player who met several times yesterday and was very eager to help him yesterday. The number plate is 100, a very good number, at least better than his 290 number. After he retired, the opponent seemed to have won the group first in the 400m semi-final, but he did not expect that the opponent would also participate in the 200m.

   “Hi, number 100, see you in the 200m final!”

   Regardless of whether the other party can understand or not, the black boy beckoned to the other party with excitement.

   Ye Qin, who was warming up and speeding up, suddenly felt a shadow dazzling in front of him.

   looked up, it was the black boy from yesterday. He didn’t understand what the other party was saying, but the English number of 100 was still clear. It was his number plate.

   “Hi, number 290.” Ye Qin also said hello.

   The black boy smiled, and after yelling, he ran directly to the team that was about to enter the arena.

   He is the first group in the 200-meter preliminaries, and he wants to make a good start.

   Ye Qin watched the opponent leave without thinking too much, but silently added a sentence in Chinese, “Don’t retire again!”

Yesterday was the 400-meter semi-finals. The two were in a team. Ye Qin thought at first that he would run against each other, but the other side retired directly. He didn’t understand what the other side was thinking, and it didn’t look like he was injured. Looks like, then wait for the next 200m race.

   After the black boy had left, Ye Qin ran another accelerated run, feeling that his body was almost completely warmed up, and then slowly stopped.

   200-meter warm-up He didn’t perform long-distance warm-up jogging ~www.wuxiax.com~ mainly in the acceleration run. After all, there is a difference between the 200-meter and 400-meter running methods. His weakness is the start and acceleration.

Nie Fangping has begun to focus on Yeqin’s start and accelerated training in Xiushui No. 2 Middle School, but the current time is still short, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in muscle strength. After all, Yeqin’s training time is too short. If you can have a few more Years later, when the body grows and matures, there should be a leap forward in this weak item to make up for the performance.

   At this stage, at a distance of 200 meters, if he is dropped too much in the first half, it is not too easy for him to catch up with others.

   This is the world stage. The best young people in track and field in the world compete here. They do not compete in China. There are many outstanding and powerful people. This is what Yeqin has fully felt after a few days of competition.

   The men’s 200-meter race is basically similar to the men’s 400-meter process, with a three-shot tiebreaker. The difference is that the 200-meter contestants are obviously much more than the 400-meter contestants. There are a total of 53 players participating in the 200-meter preliminaries starting at 10:05 this morning, divided into 7 preliminaries. Among them, there are only seven players in the first, sixth and seventh groups, and the others are eight players. .

   The rules for qualifying for the semi-finals in the preliminaries are also similar. The top three of each group will advance directly, and then the remaining three places will be filled in by the three best players.

   Yeqin is in the third group of the preliminaries. His schedule today is the men’s 200m preliminaries in the morning, and then he will wait until the men’s 400m finals in the evening.

   After warming up enough, Ye Qin gradually felt his body warm up, and the field leader Zhou Bin beckoned to Ye Qin.

   “Ready to play, Ye Qin!”
