Born to Run

When Ye Qin walked into the University of Sherbrooke Stadium, all the projection lights in the stadium were already on. He raised his head, and through the uniform lighting, he could see the dense raindrops falling from the sky, and it was a bit cold on his face. Wet.

　　 Standing on the starting line, Ye Qin gently wiped the rain off his face with his arm. The rain was not too heavy, it was light rain heavier than the misty drizzle. The orange runway became much darker because of the rain.

　　 Yeqin noticed that there were not many people in the stands. Because the Sherbrooke University Stadium was an open-air stadium, after the rain, the attraction of the World Junior Games to spectators declined.

　　 Perhaps because of the small number of people, Ye Qin saw the coaches and players of the Chinese national team who were acting as his cheerleading team in the stands at a glance. The red flags were dancing, and they were especially clear in the water vapor.

　　 On the big screen of the Sherbrooke University Stadium, the pass information of the eight contestants in the men’s 400m final has been printed:

　　The first course, Rafael-Blossian, Poland;

　　Second Road, Alkod Solzenitsch, Russia;

　　The third way, Abu Bakr-Ali, Sudan;

　　Fourth Road, Zelikowenk, Croatia;

　　 Fifth Road, Frank Prisa, Namibia;

　　 The Sixth Way, Ye Qin, China;

　　 Seventh track, Sateri Guman, United States;

　　 Eighth Road, Jameel James, Trinidad and Tobago;

　　……

　　 Ye Qin stood on the track, stretched his muscles habitually, and did a few leg presses and abdomen jumps.

　　 The weather is relatively cold. Although it is more adequate when warming up, he still wants to be more fully prepared when he steps onto the runway. Or in this way, to calm down the mood of facing the upcoming finals.

　　Before he went on the field, his emotions were still very stable. He didn't feel anything on rainy or sunny days, and didn't think too much in his mind.

　　 But when I arrived at the stadium, I was waiting for the game to start in just a few minutes, but suddenly I felt that some thoughts flashed through my mind.

　　 "The opponent is very strong, will I win? I should!"

　　 "Coach Nie is still in Yanjing now. I don't know how he will feel when he sees that I am going to run the 400m final right away?"

　　 "Xiu Shui doesn't know if it's raining now, grandma should be very anxious after being away from home for so long!"

　　 "It's been a long time since I went to the river to pick up snails. I wonder if there are many in the river now?"

　　 "She should have passed the entrance examination this year. I don't know how she scored. If I told her that I was participating in the World Junior Championships, she would probably be surprised!"

　　……

　　 "Focus! Focus! Don't think about it!"

　　 Ye Qin shook his head lightly, and said silently.

　　 looked up at the Sherbrooke University Stadium and looked at the dazzling projection lights and the drizzle of the stands. There was an inexplicable sense of dissociation in my heart.

　　 This is Sherbrooke in Quebec, Canada, a place that he has never heard of before. If he doesn't look at the markers, he can't even find the approximate location on the map.

　　 But he is standing here right now.

　　From Xiushui County, Haixi Province, to Canada, thousands of miles away, standing on the scene of the game, Ye Qin suddenly felt a strong sense of unreality.

　　 "Take a deep breath, take a deep breath!"

　　 Standing on the runway, Ye Qin took a long breath and exhaled it slowly.

　　 On the Sherbrooke University Stadium track, he has run three races, the 400m preliminaries, the 400m semi-finals, and the 200m preliminaries this morning, but now he feels a little nervous.

　　 Yes, how can you not be nervous!

　　 This is the final!

　　 The men's 400m final of the 3rd World Junior Athletics Championships! A real world-class competition, big scene! Many people may not be able to participate in such a world-class competition for a lifetime of sports.

　　 And Ye Qin himself, at this stage of the finals, he is equally excited, excited, and nervous about his expectations for the final game.

　　 I want to get a medal, want to win, want to defeat other opponents, naturally, the string in my heart will slowly tighten.

　　 Compared with the school sports meeting, the city middle school sports meeting, and the provincial youth track and field championship, his mentality has always been very stable.

　　 He likes to run very much, and the feeling of running makes him forget a lot of oppressive reality. He could hear the wind, he could hear cheers, he could hear the rapid beating of his heart with all his strength.

　　On the runway, it seemed that he had come alive.

　　 But this is the World Junior Championships. He has ran through the preliminaries and the semi-finals, but when it comes to the finals, the feeling is different after all.

　　 "Ye Qin, come on!"

　　 "Ye Qin, come on!"

　　……

　　 Suddenly a sound of cheering and cheering reached his ears through the noisy stadium.

　　 The voice is loud, a bit like Ye Lidong, or Liu Feng, or Wu Jiang, maybe all of them.

　　 He didn't distinguish it carefully, just listening to the voice seemed to become a little dumb because of shouting too loudly. At this moment, the enthusiasm of a dozen or twenty people seemed to make other spectators watching the game in the stands look at him!

　　 Ye Qin did not look up to the stand, but silently looked at the front of the runway, slowly adjusting his breathing.

　　 The feeling of being expected, the feeling of being encouraged...

　　Also, you can prove your feelings!

　　 The noisy sound from the sidelines continued, and the rain falling from the sky seemed a bit heavier.

　　 Ye Qin swept his gaze to his side, and none of the eight players around him showed any expressions, but just like him, he could still see through the occasional warm-up action to relieve the nervousness.

　　 This is a game, and I am standing here!

　　 At this time, before he was about to step on the running aid, before he heard the gunshots of the game ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, he felt that he suddenly had an answer to why he ran.

It’s okay to be dragged by Teacher Yan to participate in the competition, or to be said to be talented and shouldn’t give up sports. It’s better to enjoy the feeling of running, want to win, want to be the focus of the showy vanity... I want to read but I don’t want to give up running. , I want to change my destiny and occasionally be at a loss. Encouraged, supported, and understood by the family...

　　 No matter what the reason is, no matter what is right or wrong, in fact, I finally stepped onto the runway willingly.

　　 No matter how painful or difficult it is to go over the distance, I am willing to persist after all.

　　 When I walked on the runway, when I was noticed by other people, I was able to go to many different places to compete and see unfamiliar scenery. When I saw such a big scene, I knew that my life had been changed.

　　 I have a new choice!

　　Are you ready, Ye Qin?

　　 At this time a year ago, you were still anxious about the tuition fees of high school, and you were still sad about not knowing what kind of future you might have. But look at you now, where are you standing?

　　You have gone abroad. In Canada, in Sherbrooke, you are playing with the best teenagers in the world.

　　 You will be strong and fearless, and you will forget your sufferings. It will be brighter than noon. Even though there is darkness, it will still be like morning!

　　 "Onyourmarks!"

　　 On the edge of the runway, the starter reminded the players to be in position.

　　 Ye Qin took a long breath again, shook off the mess of thoughts that had suddenly appeared, clenched his hands into fists, and snorted softly.

　　 leaned over, lowered his head, and stepped on his feet on the run-up!

　　 "I'm ready! I seem to be preparing for this moment in my whole life!"
