Born to Run

The entire schedule of the 10th National Games is from October 12 to October 23, with a period of 12 days.

Generally, large-scale comprehensive sports games, such as the Olympics and Asian Games including the National Games, basically start at a relatively late time for track and field events. This National Games is no exception. Track and field events will not start until October 17. It ends on October 22. One of the main reasons why Ye Qin came to Jinling in advance was to participate in the opening ceremony of the National Games.

The most striking thing about the opening ceremonies of the previous National Games is the flag bearer who led the delegations to the stadium. Although the National Games flag bearer is far less mysterious than the Olympic Games, because of this National Games, Ye Qin and Liu Yangyu served as their respective As the flag-bearer of the local representative team, everyone's attention to the flag-bearer of the Tenth National Games has also increased a lot.

After Yeqin participated in the opening ceremony of the Complete Games on October 12, training and preparations began in Jinling.

However, this time it was no longer with Shuimu's Gu Kai and the others. Instead, training was divided into local teams at all levels. The main content of the training of Yeqin and the Haixi Provincial Track and Field Team is the relay of the 400-meter event.

He has never ran the 400-meter relay before. The national team basically gave up on this project at this time. Some athletes who practiced 400-meters, but it is difficult to achieve results, not to mention in world-class competitions, even if they are They are relatively low in Asia.

Moreover, the 400-meter relay, unlike the 100-meter relay, takes a long time for the tacit understanding and running-in of the players. As long as the players can reach a certain level, basically four people can pull out and play directly.

"Long time no see, what projects did you participate in this time?"

On the afternoon of October 14, in a stadium not far from the station of the Haixi Provincial Team, Ye Qin was quietly greeting an old acquaintance from the sidelines.

"Just one 100 meters, I will practice this one now, the coach keeps me focused."

Zhang Jiehua stood on the sidelines and looked at Ye Qin, who hadn't seen him for a long time. His expression was slightly complicated, but his eyes were a little bit excited.

When he was in school, Ye Chin was one level higher than Zhang Jiehua, and he was also one year older. Once upon a time, Zhang Jiehua, who had just stepped into the high school gate, was so arrogant and arrogant that he felt that Ye Chin could only take third place in the World Junior Championships.

But when he set foot on the track and field and stepped on the track, he gradually realized how amazing Ye Qin's talent is. He has always regarded Ye Qin as the goal of surpassing, although now he will not speak out in a casual manner, occasionally he feels powerless, and finds that he might not be able to catch up.

As his coach told him, you have a clearly visible goal ahead, so all you have to do is to catch up. Whether you can catch up or not, at least the goal is clear, and in the process of catching up, you yourself are constantly growing. Take the top athletes as your goal, and at the end of the day, at a discount, you may be able to achieve far more achievements than ordinary people.

This is what Zhang Jiehua later thought clearly. When he was in school, he was still a simple boy, but as he entered the professional team and participated in the competition, he saw more and more people and more things. The maturity and growth are almost overnight.

"By the way, Ye Qin, why don't you run 100 this time? I heard from the coach before that when several leaders of the Provincial Sports Bureau invited you, they hoped that you could also participate in the 100-meter event." With that, Zhang Jiehua He smiled again, "If you can come and run 4×100 meters, we can still cooperate."

"Didn't you and Guo Fan already have you and Guo Fan in the hundred meters? I won't go to join in the fun." Ye Qin shook his head slightly and looked at the track and field ahead. At this time, the members of the Haixi Provincial Track and Field Team were playing some daily matches. Before preparing for the battle, he continued, "And there are too many projects, I can't run."

The experience of two matches a day and three matches a day in the last World Championships made Yechin himself deeply feel that he has exhausted manpower. Even if he wants to chase the championship again, he encounters too many intensive schedules. It will also make oneself powerless.

After the World Championships, I occasionally think about it. Although he won the last men’s 200m final, it was really thanks to the weather at the time and the headwind on the final straight that allowed him to give full play to his advantage in speed retention. , This was considered a fluke to win Jax Trin.

The results of the two are actually not much different. If the weather may be better, there is not a headwind of -1.8 meters per second on the final straight. The probability of him wanting to win Jax Trin is very slim.

Of course, Yeqin knows very well that his schedule is too dense. If he puts his heart and soul on the 200-meter event at the beginning, instead of considering the 400-meter, it should not be so difficult to win.

"This is the same." Zhang Jiehua smiled helplessly and raised his head to look at Ye Qin. His current height is between that of Ye Qin. "You are now known as the'King of All-Stop Speed'. Every coach believes that if you are willing to focus on the 100-meter event, the 100-meter will definitely break the 10-second mark."

The title of King of All-Stop Speed ​​came out after he ran a 100-meter race with Liu Yangyu and Yang Yao not long ago. Although the specific results are unknown to outsiders, the 100-meter level of Yang Yao is well documented. Yes, it was able to reach the level of about 10 seconds and 30, but the result was still lost to Yeqin.

People outside can naturally imagine Yeqin's one-hundred-meter level. And after all, the 200-meter performance is there. Many people speculate that Yeqin’s 100-meter level is not very good now, but the runway 10 seconds 2 and 10 seconds 3 should be fine.

This result is already at the top of the 100-meter event pyramid in China, and even at this time, Asia is also top-notch. There are many outstanding sprinters in Japan, but in the past few years there have been no particularly amazing athletes.

"What is your best 100m score now?" Ye Qin looked at Zhang Jiehua and asked. Zhang Jiehua is going to participate in the men's 100m event of the National Games. He hasn't seen him for a long time. He is also a little curious about the other party now. What's your grade.

"10 seconds 53!" Zhang Jiehua scratched his head, a little proud and embarrassed on his face, "I ran out of a game in September."

Zhang Jiehua is quite proud of being able to run this performance. At his age, there are very few domestic players who can run this level in the 100m. Just standing in front of Ye Qin, speaking of this, there is nothing to be proud of.

The men's 200m world champion, the top eight in the 400m World Championships, the national men's 200m and 400m record holders, the title counts as a long list. It can be said that the appearance of Liu Yangyu has made domestic track and field events become popular, and the emergence of Ye Qin has made many people engaged in track and field work discover a possibility.

Our sprinters, we Chinese, can still achieve results in this field.

For Zhang Jiehua’s feeling, it seems a bit like when he was in school. Ye Qin was alone in the front, forcibly stepping on a road that many people could not imagine, and letting those behind them find out~www .wuxiaspot.com~ Really everything is possible.

"Very good, this is almost a master!" Ye Qin turned his head to look at Zhang Jiehua, with a surprised look on his face, "The national team didn't invite you?"

He once heard Nie Fangping and Yan Ning mention Zhang Jiehua, saying that his talents actually belonged to the very good part. After the two, although the number of sports students enrolled in Xiushui No. 2 Middle School increased a lot, they rarely appeared again. Top talents like two people. After all, in sports competitions, in the final analysis, talent determines the upper limit. That kind of amazing talent and players can be met but not sought. Moreover, the age has reached the high school stage, and sometimes it is not clear to measure the potential.

Tongshi Wen, who watched his competition in Shenghai last time, obviously expected this. The purpose of "combination of sports and education" is to provide students with a way out. After all, Xiushui No. 2 Middle School is not a professional sports school, but only for Many students with some talents have one more channel to join the ranks.

And at a level like Zhang Jiehua, I can't say that I will definitely be able to enter the national team, but where the age is, the growth potential is also there.

"Not yet." Zhang Jiehua shook his head, "But I am not in a hurry now. I will wait for another year or two. My coach said, I practiced sports too late and there are too many minor problems, so I still need to change it. Practice more basics."

"Well, yes, we are actually too late to practice sports after all." Ye Qin nodded. He and Zhang Jiehua both entered high school and came into contact with professional track and field training. Although they are talented, there are many bad running habits. Small movements and other problems need to be changed. There are many things in it, such as running up and slumping, arching, squinting left and right, swinging arms, and so on. During Ye Qin's summer vacation in Zuohai City, Haixi Province, Nie Fangping took care of it, bit by bit, and changed some of his bad habits. The subsequent results can burst up, and it has nothing to do with this.
