Born to Run

　　 When the first group of runners in the men’s 400m semifinal of this World Junior Championship appeared on the track, the big screen in the middle of the stadium also showed the participation information of eight runners.

　　First Road, Samuel Wilson, Australia;

　　Second Road, San Diego-Christine, Puerto Rico;

　　 The third way, Ye Qin, China;

　　 Fourth Road, Frank Prisa, Namibia

　　 Fifth Road, Youssé Bot, Jamaica;

　　 The sixth way, Alkod Solzenitsch, Russia;

　　 The seventh way, Leonard Markravin, Kenya;

　　 Eighth Road, Otto Martin, Spain;

Yechin is in the third lane. Among the eight players in the first group of the semi-finals, only Namibia’s Frank Prisa did not perform well in the preliminary rounds. According to the general rules, he will be ranked fifth. .

　　 But this is the semi-final, not the final. The finals are generally arranged according to the results of the semi-finals of the players, but in the semifinals of the preliminaries, in addition to the preliminaries, the arrangement of the players is affected by the degree of international attention. The organizer or the athletes that the IAAF focuses on will often provide more favorable passes in the arrangement of passes.

　　 Ye Qin did not understand many of the default rules in the IAAF, but Ye Lidong on the sidelines, Zhou Bin in the stands, and other coaches knew these well.

The black Jamaican teenager on the fifth track. He was the champion of the 2002 World Youth Athletics Championships. He broke the 200-meter and 400-meter records at the same time in the International Middle School Student Track and Field Championship. He also won the IAAF Rising Star Award. It is only natural to receive preferential treatment.

　　 It’s only six o’clock now, the sky is not too dark, but in order to make the game later in the evening more smoothly, the projector lights in the track and field are already on.

　　 “Ye Qin, come on!”

　　 “Ye Qin, come on!”

　　……

　　 Standing in front of the starting line, Ye Chin heard the cheering from the sidelines. It was still in the stands yesterday. All the “cheerleaders” with a total of more than a dozen or twenty people were shouting hoarsely at this moment.

Ye Qin waved his hand to the sidelines. It was a feeling when standing on the sidelines cheering other teammates. In the arena, especially in a foreign country and thousands of miles away from home, he could hear someone cheering and cheering for himself. , And another feeling.

　　 took a deep breath, Ye Qin jerked his limbs, relaxed his body muscles a little, and focused his attention on the track.

　　 He felt the blood in his body, and he seemed to boil after he walked on the starting line.

　　 He hasn’t thought about whether his game is winning glory for the country. Even though the representative team has been emphasizing this point these days, he actually doesn’t feel much in his heart.

　　 He just wants to run, he wants to compete with other players!

　　 It seems that on this track, he started to run, and he found the meaning and value of his existence!

　　 As he used to feel when he was running in a race, it seems that he can overcome all difficulties and break all kinds of reality on this track only by running and running.

　　 “Onyourmarks!”

　　 The English voices on the sidelines sounded again.

　　 Ye Qin exhaled twice, squeezed his fists slightly, released them again, and stepped onto the starting block.

　　 leaned over and stepped on the starting blocks, Ye Chin raised his head and glanced forward. On his right front was a black athlete from Namibia on the fourth road, and the fifth road was the black teenager who seemed to be deliberately injured during the warm-up.

　　 Then, lower your head, adjust your center of gravity, keep your body still, and prepare for the coming gunshot!

　　 “SET!”

　　 Before the starting line, eight runners got up at the same time.

Snapped!

　　 The gunshots of the game sounded.

　　 Ye Qin lowered his head and suddenly began to accelerate.

　　 After the first preliminaries, he has analyzed that he wants to enter the finals and cannot run exactly like he did during the preliminaries.

　　 His reaction to the start was not fast, and he would have a little bit closed in the first half of the previous 400m run, but this is the semi-final. Out of the 24 runners, there are only eight places. That is to say, in this group of semi-finals, he must at least run to the second place in the group to stably qualify for promotion.

　　 This is the stage of the world arena. The players are very strong, so he can’t be careless!

　　 Start, speed up!

Yeqin is ready to properly increase his speed in front of the 200 meters, not too much faster than in the preliminary rounds. After all, you have to allocate physical fitness and speed, but not too slow. It falls to the end of all the players, so that he will even try to catch up in the second half. , It may not be able to fully catch up.

　　 Ten meters, twenty meters, thirty meters…

　　 Ye Qin adjusted his center of gravity and started accelerating along the trajectory of the curve!

　　 Suddenly, a figure bloomed in front of him, and the corner of his eyes swept to the fifth lane in front of him.

　　 Because of the number of advances, he can clearly see the position of the four, five, or six contestants in the third pass.

　　 It was the very tall black teenager who was just warming up. It seemed that something really happened. He stopped after running only 20 or 30 meters.

　　 “Is it really injured or retired on purpose?”

　　 An idea flashed through Ye Qin’s mind. When he had just warmed up, Ye Qin’s pretended expression was not so sure in his heart.

　　 However, now is not the time to consider the opponent, it is just a momentary thought, and his attention is still quickly returned to the game.

　　 On the sidelines, this group of coaches with players participating in the game saw this scene, but couldn’t help but clenched their fists gently.

　　 Youssé Bot, a newcomer who emerged in the world track in 2002, has attracted a lot of attention since he appeared at the University of Sherbrooke Stadium.

　　 Now he has given up the 400-meter race, and there are only two direct promotion places in the semi-finals. There is no doubt that his athletes have much better chances.

　　Only the Jamaican youth team coach McNeill, who looked as strong as a basket killer on the sidelines, kicked the mineral water bottle in front of him, his lips moved, and he babbled endlessly.

　　 The game is continuing.

　　 Ye Qin is still running very steadily, he has been controlling his speed.

　　 The fourth Namibian player could not be named, but he remembered that the opponent was one of the three people who performed better than himself in the preliminary rounds, and was able to run 48 seconds in the preliminary round, which is enough to show the opponent’s strength.

　　 In addition to maintaining his own rhythm in the first half of the journey, Ye Qin is also firmly controlling the speed, trying not to be pulled away by the opponent.

　　 The first corner ends quickly, and the corner goes straight.

　　 The fourth Namibian player suddenly started to accelerate, and Ye Chin clearly felt that the distance between himself and the opponent was slowly being pulled apart.

　　 The straight phase is the easiest way to measure the player’s position.

　　 Nie Fangping once said to him that in the middle and long distance races starting from 400 meters, many experienced players have a variety of competition methods, the most of which is to change their own speed and like to disrupt the opponent’s rhythm.

　　 In the one-to-two hundred-meter sprint, since from the start, you basically just start sprinting without keeping your full strength, and chaotic rhythms often occur at the moment of starting. At a distance of 400 meters, a certain speed needs to be allocated. At this stage, many players will disrupt the rhythm of other players through speed changes.

　　 Obviously, this Namibian player is a little bit like this now.

　　 Yeqin could feel that after the opponent started to accelerate, the players in the sixth, seventh and eighth rounds seemed to be affected to varying degrees.

　　 The feeling of pressure caused by players chasing after him makes it easy for athletes to have inaccurate grasp of their own speed.

　　 The influence of running rhythm by a player, except for athletes in the field, unless it is a particularly experienced old coach outside the field, or using post-match video analysis, most people basically can’t see it.

Of course, the top first-class players who have experience in the competition will basically run at their own pace and will not easily follow the rhythm of other opponents. However, most of the athletes in the arena are young people. Regardless of competition experience or psychological adjustments, they are far reaching. Not at the level of top players.

　　 Ye Qin’s speed also picked up, but this in itself was his plan before the game, and the rhythm was still stable and not disrupted.

　　 But the same second and first Puerto Rico and Australian players behind him also received the influence of his acceleration and began to follow suit.

　　 This is the semi-final. Everyone wants to compete for the spot.

　　 Two hundred meters passed in a flash, and quickly reached the second corner. At this time, Yechin obviously found that the speed of the other players, except for the fourth lane of Namibia, was still maintaining a good speed. The speed of the other players seemed to have dropped slightly.

　　 The first two hundred meters ran faster, and Ye Qin also felt that the soreness of his body came earlier than before, but fortunately, he was prepared for these at the beginning.

　　 In the blink of an eye, the third corner is about to end, and the corner enters the straight.

　　 At this time, on the sidelines, whether it is the cheerleaders of the various countries where players are participating, or the local audience in Canada, they can clearly see the changes in the field.

　　 Frank Prisa of Namibia was the one who ran first, UU reading www. Uukanshu.com is closely followed by Yeqin.

　　 After entering the straight, the gap between the two is almost only one multi-position gap. After the two, the other five players have a gap of one or two meters at this time, and the gap seems to be widening.

　　 Yeqin kept staring at the Namibian player on the fourth lane. After the corner entered the straight, he also felt that the opponent’s speed was a bit unable to maintain, and it was obvious that his body entered a stage of fatigue.

　　 The sudden increase in speed in the first half drove other players, but the physical energy he consumed was also very huge.

　　 At this time, everyone started to compete completely for speed and endurance.

　　Whoever can keep his speed better will win!

　　 Eighty meters, seventy meters, sixty meters…

　　 is getting closer and closer to the finish line.

　　 By the time of the last forty meters, Ye Qin also felt that he was almost at the limit, his feet were heavy and his breathing was short, but he still gritted his teeth to explode the last little physical energy accumulated.

　　Namibia’s Frank Prisa knew that Yechin, who was in the third lane next to him, was always biting him, but his running method had basically reached the limit in front of him, and he could only watch his opponent overtake him.

　　 47 seconds 86!

　　 When Ye Qin crossed the finish line, he saw the result on the yellow timing card next to him.

The next player from Namibia scored 47.94. As for the other players, except for Youssé Bot, who retired on the fifth track, the best score was Russian Alkod Solzenit. Hope, his score is 49 seconds 02! And this result is not a small gap from his 48.49 time in the preliminaries.

　　 But Ye Qin, successfully advanced to the final!
