Born to Run

Chapter 190: Athens

August 14, Athens Airport.

"Isn't it a toss about going back to Europe in less than a month?"

At the international departure gate of Athens Airport, a group of track and field team members dressed in red and white uniforms walked out with large suitcases and small suitcases. Behind the crowd, Yang Yao pulled a large suitcase and walked towards it. Some unconscious Ye Qin asked in a low voice beside him.

"Huh?" Ye Qin was holding his suitcase, seeming to be awakened by Yang Yao's voice, and gently sucked in his nose, "Everything else is fine, the air is good, but the jet lag is going back and forth. This is not too much. Comfortable."

"It's true that the air is much better than Yanjing. Well, the temperature should be lower..." Chen Jian, who was standing in front of Ye Qin, turned his head and glanced at the two people, and couldn't help but laugh softly.

During the Yanjing training camp, outdoor training often only had a period of time in the morning and evening. The main reason was that the temperature was too high. The team was afraid of athletes from heatstroke. Basically, there were restrictions on the time of outdoor training.

The Olympics are just around the corner. For professional athletes, medications are not suitable, and it will be more troublesome if the body is slightly out of condition.

After leaving the airport and standing at the gate, there were already several buses waiting there. The members of the national team put their luggage at once, got on the bus, and headed to the Olympic Village in Athens to settle in.

The Athens International Airport is about 30 kilometers away from the downtown area of ​​Athens. After getting on the bus, the car takes more than half an hour.

Sitting in the bus, Ye Qin looked at the buildings and various icons on both sides of the road, feeling somewhat familiar. I spent more than a week in Grosseto for the World Youth Championship in July. I returned to Athens at this time. Although they belonged to different countries, some classical European buildings were still somewhat similar.

Moreover, although Grosseto and Athens are separated by the Mediterranean Sea, the distance between the two sides is not farther than the Haixi Province to Shenghai. The main thing is the weather. Although the temperature in summer is also not low, Athens at this time, from air cleanliness to temperature, is undoubtedly a bit more comfortable than Yanjing.

The entire schedule of the 28th Athens Olympic Games is from August 13th to August 29th. The Chinese team sent a total of 633 people to the Olympic Games, including 407 athletes, the largest number of participants in any previous Olympic Games.

Today is August 14, and the start of the Athens Olympics is August 13. The national track and field team did not catch up with the opening ceremony of the Olympics.

The Chinese team of more than 600 meters, starting from July 30, arrived in Athens in 8 batches, because the Olympic track and field events are from August 18th to August 27th, and the track and field team is the last to arrive. A batch of Athens. There are 13 coaches and 54 athletes, led by team leader Luo Yi and deputy team leader Feng Shuyou.

Although the track and field team failed to catch up with the opening ceremony yesterday, they could still feel the strong Olympic atmosphere of the city of Athens by sitting on the bus and crossing the roads and streets of the city.

On both sides of the road, you can see the atmosphere of the five-ringed Olympic flags and flags in various colors. In many places, you can see the welcome word ";home" of the Olympic Games, as well as official mascots with religious connotations. Athena and phevos appear on street walls, patterns and other places in various ways.

Ye Qin looked at the buildings on both sides of the city of Athens for a while, and soon found it meaningless, leaning on the back of the seat, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"tired?"

Yang Yao, who was sitting next to Ye Qin, gently elbowed Ye Qin and asked with a smile.

"It's kind of." Ye Qin didn't open his eyes, but just murmured and answered casually.

"You have been following coaching and training recently. I think you are not used to it or you feel the pressure to participate in the Olympics. It's okay. Don't think about it so much. Just relax. If we can come to the competition, it will be considered a victory."

After getting off the plane and getting on the bus, Yang Yao noticed that Ye Qin's mood didn't seem to be too high, and he was far less interested than those who participated in the Olympics for the first time. When he was at the airport just now, he asked Ye Qin, and after getting in the car, Ye Qin also glanced out the window of the car casually, then closed his eyes and took a nap. It was not at all like the other athletes who were all a bit enthusiastic. feel.

Yang Yao is five or six years older than Yeqin, and he has rich experience in participating. Although he doesn't know the reason, he vaguely feels that Yeqin's mood is not right. It's too boring. It doesn't look like he is going to participate in the Olympic Games. .

"It's okay, Brother Yang, I'm just a little tired." Ye Qin opened his eyes slightly and replied with a smile on his lips.

"It's fine if it's all right. When you arrive at the station, you will have a good rest." Yang Yao smiled and patted Ye Qin. Seeing that Ye Qin said this, he didn't ask much.

Athletes must have the ability to regulate their own emotions. Although he doesn't know how Ye Qin is, from the occasional chat with everyone, he understands Ye Qin's growth environment and experience, and he still believes that Ye Qin can handle this problem well.

"Yeah." Ye Qin nodded, and felt Yang Yao's kindness along the way. Since he joined the national team, although both of them are athletes in the 200-meter event, it is not easy to say that they are even competitors. Yaosi didn't think much about it, and cared for him in all aspects.

Yeqin himself knew very well that he did feel a different kind of pressure since arriving in Athens a few days ago.

Among them, what He Jun said to him at the rehabilitation center that day, he would think of the Olympic Games, gold medals, and dreams. He also had these things, but before that, he was just a vague idea or concept before He Jun said it completely. , I want to do it, but I don’t know which step I can achieve.

But He Jun's words seemed to make his goal clear.

It's just this goal. At this moment, Ye Qin himself knew that it was a little far away, and he didn't have enough strength to achieve it. Only by practicing sprinting can we truly understand the gap between top athletes, which is almost out of reach at this stage.

On the other hand, although they have been training with Yu Weili for more than 20 days and get along well, they are still relatively strange to each other after all. From time to time, Nie Fangping's shadow appeared in his mind. From confirming that Nie Fangping was discharged from the hospital and returning to China, to returning to Nanxiu City for recuperation, Ye Qin had always been in contact and worried about each other.

Especially when he thinks that he was in Europe with Nie Fangping a month ago, but now he has come to participate in the Olympics, but Nie Fangping has not been able to come, that feeling made Yeqin feel a little emotionally depressed. It’s better during normal training. Once the training stops, the feeling of emptiness becomes particularly deep.

He has just entered the national team and has not come into contact with such an environment before. After all, Yu Weili is the deputy head coach of the track and field team. He usually trains well, but the Olympics is just around the corner and everything is cumbersome, and there is no time to talk to Ye Qin in detail.

There is no familiar coach by his side, the environment is unfamiliar, the pace is too fast, and he is about to face a game like the Olympics, invisibly, Ye Chin always feels as if he is being pushed forward, and he can’t stop even if he wants to stop. .

In this environment, Ye Chin felt somewhat lonely.

After all, he was just a young man. He had been away from home for too long, and there was no familiar teacher companion, and then another wave of training and preparations forced by the wave, it is inevitable that the mood will be low.

During this period of time, if Yang Yao hadn't been there from time to time to train, eat, and chat with him, he estimated that he would have been more difficult.

For example, after arriving in Athens today ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ maybe it was fatigue from a long-distance flight, or for other reasons. After being spotted by Yang Yao twice, he also knew that his emotions were not right.

Now that he has arrived in Athens, he will move into the station immediately, and then he will start to face the game. He needs to adjust his emotions as soon as possible.

He remembered what Nie Fangping said to him when he was training at the Haixi Provincial Sports School. Athletes must run everywhere and face all kinds of complicated situations. He will be alone, and he will have to overcome all aspects by himself.

Seeing the car had passed through the city and entered the Olympic Village, Ye Qin took a breath and silently encouraged himself.

The beast always walks alone, as long as it gets on the runway, everything is fine!
