Born to Run

? May 4th, the General Administration of Training Track and Field.

It was only nine o'clock in the morning, and the training ground was full of excitement. In the several stadiums of the General Administration of Training, there are scenes of athletes training everywhere.

With the quiet approach of the Olympic Games, more and more athletes have been engaged in active preparations. Not only track and field events, but also many other sports under the General Administration of Sports, have entered a kind of winding. Always prepare for the state of war.

The Olympic Games started from the successful bid for the Olympics in 2001. Almost the whole country has invested in building the best sports competition stage. Now the stage is about to be completed. It is time for their athletes to show the spirit and level of Chinese sports competition.

The sound of fast footsteps swiftly across the track, and the silhouettes of athletes from one after another were sweating, competing fiercely with each other, and all showed 100% concentration and hard work.

"Get ready! Run!"

A password sounded in a track and field field of the General Training Administration.

Five or six young figures quickly rushed out of the starting line, and completed another set of half-lap speed resistance training around the track of the track and field.

Yeqin stood on the track, with his hands on his hips, and slowly walked to the side of the court, where there was a box of mineral water that their training athletes drank.

Opened a bottle of water, took a small sip, moistened his throat, and looked up at the entire venue. In the past two months or so, in addition to the occasional one or two days of rest and going out, the main athletes of the Chinese men's 4×100m relay team have been training here.

Eat and live together, compete and train together on the men’s 100-meter and 200-meter tracks, and at the same time, they cooperate with each other on the 4×100-meter relay event to improve their mutual understanding.

After a set of 200-meter speed endurance training runs, Yang Yao sits on the runway next to him, breathing heavily, facing Ye Chin, who is on the sidelines, sipping mineral water, and said hoarsely: "Come here too. One bottle."

"then."

Ye Qin put down the mineral water in his hand, first tossed a bottle to Yang Yao, and then to Zhang Peimeng, Su Bingtian, and Gu Kai each.

"Cool!"

Yang Yao sipped a sip of water in his mouth, moisturizing the smoking throat, put down the mineral water bottle, and let out a long sigh of air.

In the past, if he trained to this level, he might really have poured half a bottle of water into it. This would naturally be harmful to the body, but he hadn’t paid much attention to it before, but he has trained a lot with Yeqin in the past two years. These little details, he was unknowingly affected.

And among these athletes who train together, Yang Yao thinks that Zhang Peimeng and Su Bingtian may be able to reach their 30s in the future. They are obviously better than him in training habits.

"I really don't know what kind of results we can achieve in this year's Olympics?"

After drinking a sip of water, Yang Yao slowly put down the mineral water bottle in his hand, looked at Ye Qin, Gu Kai, Zhang Peimeng, and Su Bingtian, and said with emotion.

"Try not to be worse than the World Championships." Zhang Peimeng sat slumped on the track, heard Yang Yao's emotion, and replied after shaking his head with sweat stains.

"Then we have to work harder." Yang Yao lightly took a breath and sat up a little bit. "I heard that the Japanese relay team is now also focusing on relay events. Their current relay team players Except for Ye Qin, the strength of everyone else is higher than ours."

The current lineup of the Japanese relay team consists of Shingo Suetsue, Nobuharu Asahara, Shinji Takahira and Naoki Tsukahara. Compared with the Chinese relay team, it is only Yechin’s fourth team that is far worse. Others The strength of a few bats is slightly stronger than that of the Chinese team.

The Japanese team is one of the main opponents of the Chinese team, and there are others such as the British team, the French team, the Nigeria team and the Trinidad and Tobago team. As for the United States and Jamaica, for now, the strength of these two teams is beyond one level.

Of course, this refers to strength. In fact, there are many other factors in the 4×100m relay. The US team has had several mistakes in its performance and was turned over by others.

Therefore, everyone in the relay team has not dared to relax in training. Last year’s World Championships had an extraordinary fourth place, only one step away from the medal. This year, the relay team went up and down, in order to be able to Won a medal.

This is a very tangible goal, but even if it is possible to achieve it, it is still full of countless challenges.

"The Japanese team is still very strong, and many of them have reached the standard in the individual projects they participated in this time."

Hearing Yang Yao talking about the relay team, Ye Qin put down the mineral water in his hand, sat on the runway with everyone, and asked Yang Yao: "By the way, Brother Yang, you recently measured 100 meters and 200 meters. What are your grades?"

I have been training together recently, but the men’s 100m and 200m performances have not been seriously tested in the team. Ye Qin is not particularly clear about Yang Yao’s performance for a while.

"100 meters should be able to go in 10 seconds and 20." Yang Yao replied after a little hesitation, "As for 200 meters, it's about 20 seconds and 60 times.

In the 2004 Athens Olympics, he reached the 200-meter competition standard and ran into the second shot of the rematch in the 200-meter event. Although Yeqin ran into the final, he was not particularly eye-catching in the second round. But for a Chinese athlete, it is already a remarkable achievement.

In this year's Yenching Olympics, Yang Yao has not qualified for the Olympics so far, and he is somewhat unconfident in speaking of his own results.

In fact, he was also secretly anxious, but the current domestic competition has not yet started, and he has no choice but to hold back this energy and devote more to training.

"Brother, how about you?" Ye Qin set his gaze on Gu Kai, who was aside, and then looked at Zhang Peimeng and Su Bingtian. "There are also Pei Meng and Bingtian. Everyone now estimates their own results. how many?

"I guess if you take it, if you are in good condition, 100 meters will be able to reach 10 seconds 25. 200 meters is not necessarily." Gu Kai took off the eyes from the bridge of his nose, wiped them with clothes casually, and replied lowly. .

As the best domestic sprinter who was once second only to Yang Yao, his progress in recent years has not been particularly large, especially when compared to Ye Qin, almost not much different from standing still.

He is very interested in track and field sports, but he is not a professional athlete in essence. He has not fallen too much in the courses at Mizuki University. If nothing else, he is likely to stay at the school to teach in the future.

"My 100 meters are about the same as Gu Kai, 10 seconds 25 to 10 seconds 23 like this."

"10 seconds 3 may be a bit short, but the second half is still a bit slow."

After Gu Kai finished speaking, Zhang Peimeng and Su Bingtian went on to talk about their achievements.

Everyone is an athlete. In fact, I have a basic idea of ​​what kind of results they can achieve. In normal training, although they are not accurately tested with an electronic watch, they still have a stopwatch. They can also understand their own points. At what level.

"You should be more than Bingtian." Ye Qin was slightly surprised when he heard Su Bingtian talk about his results. "Aren't you able to run 60 meters this year to about 6 seconds 5?"

"Yeah." Su Bingtian scratched his head and said with some embarrassment, "I ran in February. I mainly couldn't keep up in the second half. The front was okay."

In this year's National Indoor Athletics Championships, Su Bingtian set a new personal high in the 60-meter event. He has already ran into 6.65 seconds. Among the players present, it can be said that besides Yechin, he is the fastest in the 60-meter race. . Originally there was a faster Wen Yongyi in the 60 meters, but since last year's World Championships, he has been in poor condition. This year there was a strain and there was less training with the relay team.

"You are estimated to be able to catch up with me in 60 meters in two years. Your pace is very fast and you will not be worse than other top players in 60 meters." Ye Qin said with a smile.

"Huh?" Su Bingtian was obviously a little surprised, "No, 6 seconds 42. This is the top three results in history, I can't even think about it."

"It's okay. You can raise your core strength. If you are 60 meters away, the smaller players will have the advantage." Ye Qin thought for a while and said seriously. He is not telling lies. In the past few years of training, there are many things. , He gradually had a different understanding.

It is not impossible that he wants to run more than 6 seconds 42 in the 60-meter event. It may even be possible within 6 seconds 40. But there is a premise in this, that is, it must be on the field of the 100-meter event.

The race distance of 60 meters is short, and in many cases the performance is still restricted. If you run 100 meters, you may let go and run, but you can run beyond your own results.

This is determined by the height and body shape of the players. Unless you continue to make great efforts to improve the various details of the 60 meters, there will still be a certain degree of difficulty.

On the contrary, a body like Su Bingtian's height will definitely have a sufficient advantage at 60 meters.

Thinking of this, Ye Qin stopped talking about 60 meters. Instead, he reminded Su Bingtian: "You mainly need to strengthen the second half of the race. Also, when you start, don't raise your head too fast. You must increase the speed gradually and stay. Give the force to the second half of the stroke to get the speed up."

It stands to reason that Su Bingtian’s performance at 60 meters should be faster at 100 meters, but he is still weak in the second half of the race. He can’t keep the speed all the time, so the speed will drop very much after 60 meters. Awesome.

"I will strengthen it." Su Bingtian smiled shyly, seeming a little embarrassed.

Seeing his look, everyone else couldn't help but laugh. Su Bingtian was the youngest, and everyone in the team basically took care of him.

"Don't worry, the future is still very long. The main reason is to see how many people can meet the individual standards before the Olympics." Ye Qin didn't say more, the athletes have to walk their own way.

If Su Bingtian's current performance wants to qualify for the Olympics before the Olympics, I hope it should be impossible. However, he is the youngest among the crowd, and his goal can be placed in four years and eight years.

Among the others, Yang Yao and Gu Kai, as well as Zhang Peimeng, are all hopeful of qualifying for the A standard in the Olympics.

Everyone actually understands the purpose of Ye Qin's question just now, just to see how many people can meet the competition standards before the Olympics.

In the 2008 Olympic Games, the A mark for men's 100 meters is 10 seconds 21, the B mark is 10 seconds 28, the men's 200 meters A mark is 20 seconds 59, the B mark is 20 seconds 75, and the men's 400 meters A mark is 45 seconds 55. The B mark is 45 seconds 95. In general, it is basically the same as the 2004 Athens Olympics.

According to the rules of the Olympic Games, a country can have three athletes who can reach the A standard. If the country does not have an athlete who can reach the A standard, then the athletes of the country will also have a place for the competition after reaching the B standard.

Because Yeqin has qualified for the A-mark in the men’s 100m, 200m and 400m, so naturally I don’t have to look at the B-mark. If other athletes want to participate in the Olympics, their goal can only be placed on the A-mark. .

This is also one of the reasons why several people including Yang Yao, Wen Yongyi, and Gu Kai failed to participate in the individual events at the Osaka World Championships last year. Their best results can reach the B mark, but there is still a distance from the A mark.

Among all the people present, Yang Yao is the most hopeful one to run into the A target in this year's Olympics. In a small competition last year, Yang Yao already ran the A target. However, the level of the competition at that time was low and could only be used as a reference result, not as a qualification.

Yang Yao was able to run above and below the A mark in both the 100m and 200m events. What is lacking now is just a heavyweight race.

As for Gu Kai, his personal best time is 10.27 seconds. After joining the relay team to train together, his strength has improved significantly, but it is a bit difficult to meet the A standard standard for the competition.

On the contrary, Zhang Peimeng, Zhang Peimeng has made remarkable progress in the 100-meter and 200-meter projects in the past two years, just like Yang Yao in previous years. In several games in the team, Zhang Peimeng's record time reached about 10 seconds, which is a very good chance to run into the A target.

"Time is tight." Ye Qin was sitting on the track and after learning about everyone's respective results, he said, "I will go to Osaka to participate in the Grand Prix in a few days, and then when we return home, we will participate in "Good Luck Yanjing". "At the Athletics Open, I will press you to see if I can improve the results."

"Okay." Yang Yao and the others nodded at the same time.

In the past two years, the track and field team's sprint event has been stimulated by Yeqin, and everyone's performance has improved a lot. Naturally, they are full of eager hopes for participating in the Olympic Games held at their doorstep.

It can be said that a Chinese athlete, especially a sprinter, can set foot on the competition arena, can be called a victory. The difficulty here is by no means comparable to other projects.

At the same time, everyone also understands Ye Qin's intention to participate in the Athletics Open. If you want to run well on the field, in addition to your own state and the atmosphere of the scene, the stimulation of a strong opponent is naturally very effective.

Moreover, as time approaches step by step, with the exception of the "Good Luck Yanjing" Athletics Open from May 22nd to 25th, the only domestic competitions that are suitable for running to achieve the standard results are to wait until the National Athletics Championships at the end of June. The Olympic Qualifying Tournament is now ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ At that time, the time is very close to the Olympic Games, and no one can guarantee that he will really emerge in the trials.

Ye Qin was able to participate in the Olympic Games four years ago, and also in the World Youth Championships in track and field. At the last minute, he seized the opportunity and ran up to the standard results in the 200m and 400m before he was qualified for the competition.

Among the people present, Su Bingtian is eligible to participate in the World Youth Championship this year.

This year's World Youth Championship of Track and Field was held in Bydgoszcz, Poland. According to Yechin, Su Bingtian's participation in this World Youth Championship is likely to win the championship, but to qualify for the Olympic Games, I am afraid it is a bit reluctant.

"You are all here, just have something to tell you."

While everyone was discussing the matter of reaching the Olympics this year, the coach Yuan Guohua hurriedly walked over, first glanced at everyone, then looked at Ye Qin and said, "I just received the news from Jamaica, your old acquaintance, Youssé Bot, ran a time of 9.76 seconds in the 100 meters!"
