Born to Run

"See what is coming?"

At 10 o'clock in the morning, after the men's 200-meter preliminaries were over, Ye Qin and Nie Fangping got up from the stands and left. On the way, Nie Fangping looked at Ye Qin thoughtfully, and asked curiously.

"The Italian player in the fourth group of the preliminaries is very explosive and runs very lightly. Coach, is that player really a long jumper?"

Ye Qin frowned slightly. In the preliminaries just now, he and British player Julian Thomas both ran 21 seconds away in the first preliminaries. In the subsequent preliminaries, the fourth and fifth groups of the preliminaries were in the sixth group. In total, four people ran into 21 seconds.

Among them, the fourth group of the preliminaries, Andrew Howe of Italy, ran 20.86 seconds, surpassing Yechin to get the first place in the preliminaries, and Yechin obviously found that the opponent seems to be in a particularly alarming state because of the home game, and the start is explosive. Strong, easy to run, the feeling is a bit like the Jamaican Youssé Bot he saw last year.

And the first player in the 200m preliminaries, the main event turned out to be long jump.

"The opponent's main event is indeed the long jump. In yesterday's long jump competition, he won the championship with a best score of 8.11 meters in the fifth jump."

Nie Fangping nodded slightly and replied that a player who can go up to 8 meters in the long jump has absolutely no difference in explosiveness. He can completely participate in the men's 100-meter race. As long as he has been trained, it is possible to enter the finals and even compete for medals on a stage like the World Youth Championship. of.

However, the finals of the men’s 100 meters and the long jump finals were all on July 14th yesterday. The opponent did not participate in the men’s 100 meters and instead participated in the men’s 200 meters. It may also be because the two games are in one day, in order to maintain the best individual. State, abandoned the 100m, and today chose the 200m project.

Andrew Howe, an Italian player born in 1985, is only 19 years old this year. He won the third place in the long jump of the 2001 World Junior Championships. In the 2002 World Youth Championship, he was the first in the Italian men's 4x100m relay. At that time, Italy The relay ranked fifth.

In the 2002 European competition, the men's 110-meter hurdle ran an excellent result of 13.59 seconds, and the best result in the triple jump was 16.27 meters. It can be said that he is a very comprehensive athlete and has a very good performance in various track and field events.

General track and field athletes have multiple events. For example, Ye Chin has both men’s 200 meters and men’s 400 meters. Other events may occasionally happen to practice, but the span is definitely not as large as Andrew Howe. There are various events. Participate and get good results.

It is definitely not easy for the men's 200 meters to enter 21 seconds, and the opponent easily won the preliminaries with a score of 20.86 in the preliminaries. It is conceivable that if there are no mistakes in the finals, the results are definitely not bad.

This is also a player worthy of vigilance after Nie Fangping and Ye Qin watched the preliminaries.

However, compared to the appearance of a serious opponent, Nie Fangping looked at Ye Qin's thinking, which is more gratifying.

It may be that I have already entered high school when I started training, and my understanding ability is relatively strong, or Ye Qin’s talent in the track and field is playing a role. At the beginning, Ye Qin has always been obsessed with remembering all the requirements of Nie Fangping’s teaching, and strives to be in training. Can be fully implemented.

Gradually, Nie Fangping discovered that Ye Qin started to think about himself based on competition and training. Although he may have little accumulation now, Ye Qin has gradually begun to think whether he is in the game or in his own life training.

This is what he likes to see. Athletes have to use their brains to think about progress. Coaches and others can only be assistance. In the end, many things must be mastered by athletes themselves.

Over the year, he discovered that Ye Qin would only pay attention to the performance of his opponents at first, and gradually he would pay attention to analyzing the technical characteristics of his opponents. This is a growth.

This is what Nie Fangping is worried about now. Yeqin will be in his third year of high school next semester. He is about to enter university and will even be selected to enter the national team. He will not be able to take into account many things in the future, and with the rapid rise of Yeqin's level, it is now. At this stage, Nie Fangping also knew his problems.

In his coaching career, no athlete has the talents of Ye Qin. In the past two years, he has basically reached the top level. Ye Qin has gradually reached the top level in China and needs more excellent coaches to guide him.

If it is an ordinary professional team coach, this is probably not considered at this time. The relationship between athletes and coaches is basically bound, but Nie Fangping and Nie Fangping are not bound by this relationship.

He is about the age of retirement, and he doesn't need to be the same as other coaches. He needs to cling to it because he has finally brought out an athlete who has achieved results.

In Xiushui No. 2 Middle School, he was still the head coach of the track and field team. At the beginning, Tongshi Wen invited him to teach at Xiushui No. 2 Middle School. The reason for moving him was not only Yeqin, but also for more talented students in township middle schools. The feelings of choosing the road.

Although his focus has been basically on Ye Qin in the past two years, Nie Fangping has not forgotten this. It's just that Yeqin's growth rate can enter a higher stage. Without the support of a professional team, he has provided more support.

Ye Qin didn’t know what Nie Fangping thought about his future at this time. He was still thinking about the next race. The men’s 200m race entered 21 seconds, and the men’s 400m race entered 46 seconds. Their skills The characteristics, all of them flashed quickly in my mind at this time.

After leaving the game, Ye Qin and Nie Fangping returned to the hotel. The female physical therapist with the round face and fatness who accompanied the team did some muscle relaxation for Ye Qin, and then lunch and lunch break until about 1:30 in the afternoon. , Once again left the representative team's residence and went to the arena.

The biggest advantage of Grosseto's hosting of this World Youth Championship is that the small city will not be congested, and the station is close to the stadium. If it weren't for the World Youth Championship, the city is a slow-paced, leisurely tourist city.

The time to arrive at the Carozekini Olympic Stadium is less than 14:00. At this time, the afternoon game in the stadium has just started. The weather is like this all day at 32 degrees. It is slightly hot, but it still can't stop the audience. Passion.

Ye Qin took a rest in the shade outside the court, then watched the time was almost up, and then began to warm up.

Athletes need to warm up before participating in the competition, but this warm-up is by no means a hasty physical activity to avoid injury as in general training, but it takes a considerable amount of time.

The warm-up time of some athletes can even last for more than an hour. Of course, it is not a special warm-up method that consumes physical energy such as desperately running and jumping, but a very refined way of fully moving the body.

Especially in some heavyweight finals, from starting acceleration, body ligament stretching, muscles, and the state of the whole body, qualified professional athletes will even have a period of pre-match physiotherapy massage before the game, and then add the field Warm up to make your body reach its best condition.

When the same athlete is preparing for the competition, resting or just doing some basic training, the state of the two is very different.

Ye Qin had already had a relatively long warm-up because he participated in the game in the morning. The warm-up time in the afternoon did not last too long. It was carried out according to Nie Fangping’s stuck time. Just before the game, his body was sweating and warming slightly, so he stopped. , Ready to check into the game.

At 15:20 in the afternoon, the men's 200m semi-finals officially began.

There are three teams in the men’s 200m semi-finals. Yechin is the second semi-final team. In this group, he did not meet the Italian player Andrew Howe, who was the focus of his attention in the preliminaries, but the strong team in the same group There are not many opponents.

200m semi-final course arrangement According to the results of the preliminaries, Yeqin was no longer placed on the eighth track as in the preliminaries, but on the fourth track.

The rules for the men's 200m semifinals to advance to the final are the same as those for the 400m. He needs to win the top two results to be able to securely qualify for this final.

In this group, Yechin also encountered two strong opponents ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The third is South Africa's Lei Julius and the fifth is Trinidad and Tobago's Jamil James.

The former was the men's 100-meter runner-up and the men's 200-meter champion at the 2003 Asian-African Games. The latter was in the men's 400-meter competition last year, and had an intersection with Yeqin. At that time, he finished fifth in 47.61 seconds. name. Among them, Jameer James, a 400-meter and 200-meter runner like Yechin, only participated in the men's 200-meter race in this World Youth Championship.

After the start of the race, Ye Qin felt the great pressure of the two black players. From the start of the corner, the two people left Ye Qin behind with their explosive power in the first half of the race. Ye Qin reached the 50 meters near the finish line. At the time, he caught up with Jameel James, and in the last ten meters, he surpassed Lei Julius.

The results of the three were 20.76 for Yechin, 20.84 for Lee Julius, and 20.97 for Jameel James.

Ye Qin successfully advanced to the final.

The men's 200-meter final is at 21:00 on July 16, and Yechin has another biggest challenge tonight, the men's 400-meter final.
