Born to Run

"Chen, now is not the time to be happy."

After Yechin crossed the finish line for the first time, Randy Hunter looked at the excited face of Chen Zhongzhou beside him and couldn't help but shook his head.

In an Osaka Grand Prix, and there is still not much competition from strong players, Yechin won the Grand Prix. For Randy Hunter, there is no special need to celebrate.

Moreover, in this game, Yechin's performance and final results, in Randy Hunter's view, always feel that it is not so perfect.

"What's wrong, Coach Randy?"

Chen Zhongzhou looked at Randy Hunter's calm look, and he couldn't understand it.

Just when Yeqin entered the straight, Randy Hunter also shouted excitedly, "Just run like this!", but turned his head, it seemed that there was no joy on his face.

It is not that there are no Chinese athletes who can participate in the IAAF Grand Prix, but at this point in time, there are indeed not many athletes who can participate in the competition and win the championship.

In addition to Liu Yangyu's men's 110-meter hurdles, the only items that are truly competitive in various grand prix events are women's middle and long distance running and women's shot put and hammer.

Due to training methods, there have been few athletes participating in the Super Grand Prix of the IAAF Grand Prix. Moreover, even if they participate, it cannot be said that they will win the championship.

In the true sense, starting with international competitions as the norm, the Chinese track and field event really started by Liu Yangyu.

For Chen Zhongzhou, Ye Qin was able to make his mark in the men's sprint sprint second after Liu Yangyu, which is quite exciting.

"This champion is very good. It is a good start for Yechin's next game, but the rhythm of this group of games is not very good." Randy Hunter said unceremoniously.

"Huh?" Chen Zhongzhou looked up at Randy Hunter. For a while, he didn't know that this American coach, who was always cheerful and casual, seemed to suddenly become a lot more serious.

"Yechin's tempo was taken a little off by a few Japanese athletes in the first half of the race, and he was not able to fully perform. He should be able to run better in the first half." Randy Hunter continued, "Chen As a coach, in a competition of this level, you need to remain calm and restrained, and you can see from the game why your athlete has run out of this problem."

In this men’s 400m race, Yeqin was in the third lane, but since the start, perhaps because the first half of the Japanese players weren’t too fast, Yeqin had clearly improved to the first half after his training. Cheng went back slowly again. In Randy Hunter's view, even before the previous national track and field franchise, Yechin did not have an opponent to hold the rhythm alone and run smoothly.

Fortunately, at the end of the second half, Yechin may have felt Alain Francia's position, and then stabilized again. And there is also a big factor in this is Alain Francia's carelessness, the first half of the speed was too much, and the speed was not increased, and Yeqin took advantage of the loophole.

In Randy Hunter's view, if Randy Hunter and Yechin are placed in adjacent passes in this 400m, the two should run better in the end.

Listening to what Randy Hunter said, Chen Zhongzhou gradually calmed down, and for a while, he was somewhat ashamed.

He wanted to learn to steal the teacher from Randy Hunter, but after the athlete came on the field, his heart was ups and downs, and he couldn't calm down and look at the problems of Yechin's game.

The so-called “training by competition, training while playing” means that the coach’s perspective cannot be the same as that of the Olympic World Championships. Instead, it is necessary to carefully analyze the athlete's state through these competitions and still have problems.

If you can't summarize the gains and losses, just looking at these games from the perspective of athletes is not enough as a coach.

...

"Congratulations!"

"Thank you!"

On the runway near the men’s 400-meter finish line, several athletes who had already finished the 400-meter race walked towards Yechin one after another. First, the men’s 400-meter race was favored by the outside world, and Alain Fran, who almost won the championship without any suspense. West Asia.

Even though there is some resentment and regret in his heart, Alain Francia knows what happened to his family and still underestimates the enemy, no wonder others.

For a veteran who participated in the 96 and 2004 Olympic Games and the 2001 and 2003 World Championships, although the strength of an Osaka Grand Prix is ​​unexpected, the end of the game is already in the past. There is still some athlete demeanor at this point.

He walked to Ye Qin and gave a light hug, expressing his congratulations and congratulations.

After that, several other Japanese athletes came forward to express their congratulations. In terms of sports literacy, Japanese athletes are far better than South Korea. Even in front of many audiences in their own countries, they did not show any temper, especially hostility. attitude.

"Ye Qinjun, your ability in the second half of the journey is very strong. If you have the opportunity, you will definitely come to Japan to train and exchange together."

Said this sentence is Japanese veteran Kosaka Tian Jun. The Japanese player born in 1974 has a personal best of 45 seconds in 16 years, and helped the Japanese relay team to get fourth place in the men's 4×400m event last year.

Ye Qin doesn’t know much about Japanese athletes, but in the last men’s 4×400m relay race of the Athens Olympics, he has seen the performance of the other side. In sprint events, whether it is men’s one or two hundred meters or four. At 100 meters, Japan at this time surpassed domestic players in terms of overall strength and individual top-notch.

Then, Ye Chin and his age were about the same, and Yuzo Kinmaru, known as the “king of 400 meters” of the new generation of Japan, exchanged a few simple words. Many Japanese athletes can speak English. Although the accent is a bit weird, it is not Obstruct Ye Qin's simple dialogue and exchanges with them.

Ye Qin also felt a completely different competitive atmosphere from the past. For Chinese and Japanese athletes, competitions like the Grand Prix emphasize their own improvement, or contact with top players from other countries, and the meaning of meeting the world is much greater.

Compared with track and field competitions, more attention is paid to the athletes themselves. If you don't want large-scale Olympics, World Championships, Asian Games and other competitions, you will bear the honor of your home country and fight for your country.

"Ye Qin, wait a minute!"

Just when Ye Qin left the track and field and walked to the sidelines, he suddenly saw several media companies blocking him.

Ye Qin stopped. He could clearly see the identity signs of the reporters in front of him. They were all domestic newspapers and online media.

He is actually no stranger to the post-match interview.

After the Olympic Games men’s 200 meters, the CCTV reporter accompanying him had a brief interview with him, but then it seemed that only a few simple words were mentioned in the newspaper, and no one mentioned it.

In addition, this year's Indoor Track and Field Championships at Shenghai Station and Yanjing Station. Someone simply asked a few words. When Zhaoqing broke the national record of 400 meters for men, several local media in Zhaoqing City also briefly said a few words.

In this regard, when Nie Fangping led him in the past, although he participated in the World Junior Championships and the World Youth Championships, there were basically no reporters with the team at the time. A lot of the news was sent back to China by the staff. Then he was not well-known and failed to cause much s concern.

Since the Olympics and several games this year, the media's attention has gradually increased. Yeqin was not surprised that someone wanted to interview him again, and he answered several questions very cooperatively.

Most of the interview questions were the same, and there was nothing special. What I asked was my personal feelings, why I was able to achieve such results, and whether my state was particularly good this time.

Ye Qin basically answered fairly well. The only thing that seemed a bit surprising was a reporter's question, "How did he feel when he and Liu Yangyu were already listed as track and field twin stars in China?"

When Ye Qin heard this question, he was slightly stunned. Recently, media reports on him have increased, but he did not expect that someone would dare to use such a name.

Repeatedly waved his hands and said, “Both I and Yang Yu’s achievements and honors are far from each other. I am too high to praise me. In the next few years, when my achievements and honors are worthy of this title, Accept it again."

Many reporters interviewed suddenly laughed, and anyone with a discerning eye could see it very clearly. Even though Ye Chin holds two national sprint records in China, Ye Chin hasn’t made much progress internationally. Obviously some of his peers are hype. Borrowing the wind and waves.

Since 2001, Liu Yangyu has participated in numerous IAAF events, Grand Prix, Super Grand Prix, Golden League, and even the 2004 Golden League. It can be said that before the Athens Olympics, Liu Yangyu has already emerged internationally.

It’s just that the men’s 110-meter hurdles weren’t popular at the time and there were few domestic reports. For many ordinary people, it felt like jumping out of a rock.

In fact, most athletes may have been quite famous before, but before winning the Olympic champion, it is difficult to say that they are famous. Of course, the players in football and basketball are different. Many of them go abroad to play football and form a huge influence.

Ye Qin knows very well in his heart that the reason why he is gradually being paid attention to by the media is that on the one hand, his talent and performance are not bad~www.wuxiaspot.com~ But more, he is still involved in Liu Yangyu’s track and field project. Reignited, and at the same time, with the promotion of hosting the Yenching Olympics in a few years' time, the media gradually turned their attention to him.

In terms of influence and achievements, he is still far from qualified compared to Liu Yangyu.

However, many reporters present heard Ye Qin say that he would accept it when his performance was worthy of the title. Many people couldn't help but screamed for the young athlete's courage. In Chinese track and field, the male athletes have been stubborn for so long, and finally they are about to get ahead!

May 10.

Liu Yangyu, coach Sun Chaosheng and other staff transferred back to Shenghai by plane. In terms of their itinerary, they first went back to Shenghai for rectification and rest. Liu Yangyu needed to attend business activities and then went to Oregon, USA.

But Yeqin did not accompany this time. Under the leadership of the American coach Randy Hunter, he and Chen Zhongzhou, Zhuang Wei and several staff made a direct transfer from Japan and flew directly to the United States.
