Born to Run

Chapter 241: media focus

"XX Sports reported on March 7 that the third leg of the 2005 National Indoor Athletics Championships for two days ended in Yanjing. Because Olympic champion Liu Yangyu did not participate in the race, there were not many spectators in the Bayi Track and Field Stadium. There were also few reporters, and the scene was in sharp contrast with the Tianjin Station. Although the stadium was a bit deserted, the two days of the game went on very fiercely.

The competition for the championship of the women's pentathlon was launched between two Qiong province players. Wang Lan finally won the championship with 4,079 points, 76 points ahead of teammate Fu Cheng... Women's pole vault competition, Feng Ling, Yanjing Zhang Nan, etc All five athletes crossed a height of 4 meters 20. The height of the crossbar was raised by another 10 centimeters, and Yanjing team leader Zhao Xinming and other coaches and athletes all rushed to cheer. The five athletes also encouraged each other. Unfortunately, none of them crossed the height of 4.30 meters...

The most worth mentioning is that the young player Ye Chin continued the good state of last year's World Youth Championships and the Olympic Games. He ran 45.90 seconds and 20.89 seconds in the men's 400 meters and men's 200 meters, winning these two. He won the championship in two events, and set the national record of these two indoor events again. This is also the double champion of the third indoor track and field championship that Yeqin won after the two stations in Shenghai and Jinmen.

In addition, Wen Yongyi from Guangdong Province won the men's 60-meter race championship with a time of 6.61 seconds and set a national record for the event..."

"The Next Liu Yangyu? 》

In the just-concluded National Indoor Athletics Championships, the young player from Haixi Province, Yeqin, won three consecutive men's 200m and men's 400m championships with amazing results that surpassed most of the players.

It is not uncommon to win three championships. For the same men's 60-meter event, Wen Yongyi from Guangdong Province swept the three championships. But at the same time, both events won the championship, which is the first in Chinese track and field history.

As far as I know, it is not difficult in Yeqin's view that it is difficult for ordinary athletes to do side events. In the 2003 World Junior Championships, Yeqin won the third place in the men's 200 meters and men's 400 meters. In the 2004 World Youth Championship, Yeqin went one step further and won silver medals in the 200 meters and 400 meters respectively. And both reached the Olympic Games (200 meters to break the national record), and was selected for the national team. In last year’s Athens Olympics, Yeqin was eliminated in the first round of the men’s 400m event, but he reached the final stage in the men’s 200m event and won sixth place, creating a Chinese sprint. A new record in the Olympic Games.

Ye Qin came from Xiushui No. 2 Middle School in Haixi Province. He never joined the professional team before entering the national team. Instead, he was guided and trained by the school's coaches and teachers. His talents showed that his achievements at this age are already the world's top celebrities.

Whether he can become the next Liu Yangyu, we look forward to it!

"Our "Forrest"! 》

When the author first noticed Yeqin, it was at the City Games in 2003. As a city games dedicated to youth competitions, most of the contestants were newcomers trained by local teams at all levels.

At that time, in the men's 400-meter race, the champion of Yangcheng Tan Zhongbiao and the runner-up Liang Chao. Although I don't know much about it, I have seen it several times in domestic competitions before.

Only the third runner-up was the first time I saw it. Compared to athletes who were generally around 19 years old at the time, Ye Qin's still green face always told others that he was much younger than others, but the final results were unexpected.

What is even more amazing is that in the men's 200-meter race a few days later, this teenager from Haixi Province won the men's 200-meter championship with close to the best 200-meter performance in the country at that time.

After a World Junior Games, a City Games, Ye Qin began to make a splash in the domestic track and field world, but apart from the sports system, it did not attract too many people's attention. According to the author, there are few media reports, almost zero. Then came the 2004 national indoor men’s 400m and 200m competitions and a series of national grand prix competitions. Almost all the teenagers performed very well (almost all champions and top three top six results).

Until last July, when the World Youth Athletics Championships was held in Grosseto, Italy, Yechin once again won the men’s 200m and men’s 400m double runner-ups, and both reached the Olympic competition standards and were promoted to the team by the national team. At this time, it attracted the attention of some sports media.

In the men's 100-meter, 200-meter and 400-meter sprints of the Olympic Games last year, there were only two athletes originally scheduled to participate, including one for the 100-meter A standard and one for the 200-meter A standard. In addition, no other runners could reach the standard.

Ye Qin, on the other hand, reached the A standard for the men's 200 meters and the B standard for the 400 meters. He became the first athlete in my country's track and field sprint competition to meet the standards in two events.

In the subsequent Olympics, Yechin was eliminated in the first round of the men's 400 meters, but in the men's 200 meters, he ran into the final with extraordinary performance and won sixth place.

This is the first athlete in the history of Chinese men's track and field sprinting who can reach the finals and achieve such high results. It is a pity that such an outstanding young athlete, after Liu Yangyu broke history and won the first Olympic gold medal in Chinese men's track and field, completely concealed the light. Although there were many media reports, few people noticed the boy's trace.

As we all know, my country’s men’s sprint events have always been weak. Except for the men’s 100 meters event that most people pay attention to, the men’s 200 meters and men’s 400 meters needless to say compared with internationally ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ which is slightly weaker in Asia In Japan, it has been challenged and impacted by countries in Central Asia and West Asia.

The emergence of Yeqin completely made up for our weakness in the men's 200m and 400m events, and even created excellent results in the Olympics.

In an interview with our reporter, Director Luo of the China Athletics Management Center said that a super-first-class coaching team and working group has been tailored around Ye Qin, which will continue the training of Liu Yangyu, Ye Qin’s current coach in charge. Randy Hunter, the former coach of the current world men’s long jump record holder Mike Bob Many solutions are given.

In the just-concluded National Indoor Track and Field Championships at Shenghai Station, Jinmen Station and Yanjing Station, Yeqin won all three races in the indoor men’s 200m and indoor men’s 400m, and won a record six. champion.

It is understood that Yeqin will participate in the national track and field franchise competition in April, and then will go abroad to compete in international competitions and practice with competitions. The purpose is to prepare for the World Track and Field Championships in August this year.

We will wait and see.
