Born to Run

"Mr. Hunter, we all know that you are a well-known track and field coach in the United States. Can you talk about why you suddenly have the idea of ​​coaching in China?"

"I think this should be a normal phenomenon. I have read reports and some people accuse me of being unpatriotic. This accusation is ridiculous. Why doesn't he think that the United States actually has the largest number of best coaches in the world? The United Kingdom, Russia, France, Jamaica, many excellent coaches have come to the United States and made great contributions to the strength of our country's sports. Many of them have become Americans like you and me.

Let's not talk about it. Look at our women's volleyball team. We hired the best Chinese coaches to coach. As a coach, we should not be completely confined to the country. We should take a full look at the potential and talented players from other countries to improve together and constantly break through the limits of mankind. Besides... Chinese food is really delicious. If you go there, trust me, you might be willing to be a reporter there. "

"Then can you talk about the athletes you coach? Of course, we are not talking about Mike Powell, but the athletes you have coached in China for more than half a year. Oh, by the way, is his name Chin-Ye? He just won the Eugene Grand Prix, winning against Ron Merritt, Andrew Luke, Michael Blackwood and other players. You must know that before this, the Americans except Liu Yangyu and Yao, But many people have never heard of his name."

Outside the Icahn Stadium, Randy Hunter and others who had just arrived at the stadium were followed by many American media as soon as they got out of the car. Several media reporters conducted interviews.

At this moment, the media's attention even left behind the Olympic champion Liu Yangyu and coach Sun Chaosheng. There are actually a lot of media reports about Liu Yangyu, but the media are all looking for the latest heat.

Especially when a coach who has been silent for a period of time suddenly went to a foreign country to coach and brought his athletes to the United States again, this caused a lot of heated discussion.

In the United States, men’s track events, the 100 meters, 200 meters and 400 meters, have always been the focus of attention and the most important thing. In comparison, the men’s 110 meter hurdles can be regarded as outstanding in track events. One of them, but in comparison, there is still no 400-meter project that makes people care about.

We must know that the men's 400m event can be said to be a traditional strong event in the United States. It often takes the top three in an Olympic Games. Coupled with a 4×400m relay race, its status as a track and field power is almost unshakable.

In the 1984 Olympics, the men's 400 meters Americans took first and third place, the men's 400 meters in the Seoul Olympics in 1988, the United States swept the top three, the 1992 Barcelona Olympics men's 400 meters, the United States swept the top two, and the 1996 Atlanta Olympics men's 400 meters American won Champion, the United States took the top two in the 2000 Sydney Olympics, and the United States took the top three in the 2004 Athens Olympics... In the last six Olympics, the championship has almost never been dismissed, and the outstanding 400-meter athletes in China have emerged one after another.

Especially before the 1988 Seoul Olympics, Reynolds completed a fantastic run in the enthusiastic atmosphere of the Zurich audience, creating an amazing time of 43.29 seconds, breaking the American athlete Evans created on the Mexican plateau in 1968. , Maintained a world record of 43.86 seconds for 20 years.

After another, there was another 43 seconds 18 created by Michael Johnson. The degree of attention to such a traditionally strong project is naturally far more than other.

Randy Hunter stood in front of many reporters. Unexpectedly, he did not directly answer the questions asked by the reporters. Instead, with a peaceful smile on his face, he slowly stepped aside, "Ladies and gentlemen, I I want to say, since you want to know so much about the athletes I coach in China, hey, why don't you ask the parties?"

Ye Qin stood behind Randy Hunter, watching him talk to many reporters. This was the first time he saw another side of his coach. Humorous and demeanor, I answered the questions very appropriately, and occasionally some questions can cause the reporters in the room to roar with laughter.

When I was in China, although I did not accept interviews, the number of times was actually not that many. The only limited number of times was the activities of the track team in cooperation with CCTV.

But back in the United States, Randy Hunter has once again restored the style of the world's top coach, swaying freely in front of many cameras and microphones.

"This is probably the other side of coaching!"

Yeqin silently observed in his heart that he still felt it was worth learning about the aspect that Randy Hunter showed. Perhaps, he was actually subconsciously learning how Randy Hunter faced the camera.

He has been interviewed by many reporters now, but he still feels a little uncomfortable when facing the camera. This is a very strange feeling, that is, there is no nervousness when talking and talking, but when the camera lens falls on the body At the time, I can’t help but feel that there are things I don’t know how to express.

From the earliest stage of the World Junior Championships, he saw that the champions were surrounded by the media. At that time, he was very familiar with this. I hope that one day he can do the same.

In recent years, I have more or less accepted some media interviews, but in terms of performance, Ye Qin feels that he should actually be strengthened.

The camera is tense. This feeling is very deep. He feels that he is like Liu Yangyu. In addition to interviews on the field, he has to attend various commercial activities off the field, and then answer reporters’ questions and interact with reporters. difficult.

This is also the reason why his grades have grown so fast. After all, he is just a young man under the age of seventeen or eighteen. Think about it after the end of the Athens Olympics last year, Liu Yangyu appeared on the stage of "The Same Song". Xiangjiang interacts with many celebrities and does activities. He really feels that he is not doing well.

In fact, this feeling is not only Yeqin's desire to get more attention and being shrouded by the spotlight, but a competitive spirit subconsciously produced.

In the game, I want to be the fastest one. When facing the media, I also hope that I can show the best.

"Ye Qin, the coach is calling you!"

Just when Ye Qin got a little distracted, he suddenly felt Chen Zhongzhou next to him, gently pressing his elbow against his arm.

"Huh? What?"

Ye Qin suddenly recovered and looked up, only to find that many media and reporters were looking at him.

Randy Hunter took a stab at him, and Yechin soon saw a blonde female reporter take the lead, holding the microphone to ask him questions.

"Uh..." Ye Qin was really uncomfortable for a while, the other party's speech was very fast, and he was not able to listen to the other party's complete questions in the first time.

Fortunately, during the long-term sports training, he has excellent psychological quality. After a short pause, he said: "Sorry, I didn't understand you very well, can I trouble you to say it again?"

The female reporter who asked the question seemed to be very interested in the young Asian athlete in front of her, and was not irritated because Ye Qin could not hear him clearly.

Still earnestly asked again: "Yepchin, we all know that you are a young Asian player. Your appearance at Eugene Station made many American audiences know about you. I would like to ask, what do you have about the New York Grand Prix? Ideas? You know, in this station, Olympic champion Jimmy Warner will also participate in the men's 400m race. Do you want to challenge him?"

"Jimmy Warner is a great athlete. He is an Olympic champion. As long as the 400-meter athlete wants to challenge him, I am no exception..."

Ye Qin said, spreading his hands and showing a smile, "But I don't know if I can succeed in the challenge, and it won't be now. I will participate in the men's 200 meters in the New York station."

These words made a smile on the faces of the American reporters present. Compared with the public challenge to Jimmy Warner, Raun Merritt, who is known as the new generation 400 meters in the United States at this time. No doubt what Yeqin said should be more in line with people's appetite.

Especially among the reporters present, quite a few are white. Although few people say about racial discrimination in public, Jimmy Warner, as a white player, broke the black monopoly on the 400-meter event. Its representative significance is like Liu Yangyu’s breakthrough in the men’s 110-meter hurdle. .

The reason why reporters ask ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is because Yechin’s 45.08 seconds at Eugene Station is one of the last 400m results since the start of the season, and it is also one of the last few 400 meters since the start of the season. This kind of subconscious recognition.

You must know the rise of Liu Yangyu. Behind every game, Alan Johnson has a lot of domestic popularity about his rival Trammel.

Later, several other reporters came up and asked Ye Chin about the Chinese athletes’ views on American track and field competitions. Did he imitate Michael Johnson in the men’s 200 meters and men’s 400 meters? Does he think he is possible? Will become the third athlete who is influential in American track and field after Dayao and Liu Yangyu.

Ye Qin answered them one by one, and occasionally used a little American humor learned from Randy Hunter, which made many people feel good about him.

In the end, Randy Hunter ended the interview with the American media on the grounds of warming up and welcoming the afternoon game.
