Born to Run

In the 1980s, there was a climax in the restoration and establishment of a national sports meeting in my country. The National University Games and the National Middle School Student Sports Office, which were once interrupted, were revived. The National Youth Games, the National Minority Traditional Sports Games and the National Farmers Games came out one after another.

The City Games is the last national comprehensive sports meeting to be launched.

In the past, outstanding sports teams were mainly concentrated in sports committees at or above the provincial level, so national sports competitions were generally participated in by provinces. With the development of the reform of the training system for training sports talents at multiple levels and channels, some cities with conditions, especially provincial capitals and cities with separate plans, have successively established their own outstanding sports teams. In order to encourage the enthusiasm of cities to organize teams and promote cities to discover and train more sports reserve talents for the country, the National Urban Games came into being.

The Youth Games were held for only two sessions. After 1989, the training of the reserve army was transferred to the City Games, and the items that restricted the age of participating athletes were further extended to the entire City Games. In 1991, 1995 and 1999, the 2nd to 4th Urban Games were held successively.

Although the Urban Games has not changed in name, it has actually been changed to the National Urban Youth Games.

The Fifth National Urban Games was held in Xingcheng, the capital of Xiaoxiang Province on October 18, 2003. It was the first comprehensive sports meeting held in China with youth as the main participant after Yanjing successfully bid for the 2008 Olympic Games. The Urban Games is not only Athens. An important military training before the Olympics was a major review of the reserve forces for the Yanjing Olympics. In preparation for the 2008 Olympic Games, the competition events of the current City Games are in line with the Olympic Games. The major events have been increased from the previous 16 to 25, of which 24 are Olympic events, covering China's advantageous events, potential advantageous events and foundations. project.

CCTV Channel 5 will broadcast all events of the City Games. In addition to CCTV, satellite TV, Economic TV, public channels and sports channels in Xiaoxiang Province will also broadcast live games during the City Games. .

When Ye Qin and Zuohai City Representative Team's track and field athletes arrived in the star city of Xiaoxiang Province, it was already October 20th. Everyone did not catch up with the opening ceremony of the Urban Games. However, the track and field competition time of the current Urban Games is 23rd. From January to the 27th, a total of 43 gold medals will be produced during the five-day competition.

...

"Coach, this stadium is really beautiful."

On a bus passing through the Star City District, Ye Qin looked at the scenery of the streets on both sides of the Star City District, but what came to mind was just looking at the venue before the main track and field stadium of the City Games.

"Of course, Helong Stadium turned out to be one of the top stadiums in the country." Nie Fangping smiled next to him. "This time for the City Games, the stadium has also undergone a special expansion and renovation. You have just been training for adaptability. At the time, I looked at the grading standards of the venue. Their 400-meter circular plastic track has a ground level difference of less than 3 millimeters, which is already up to the standards set by international competitions."

The Helong Stadium was specially expanded and renovated for the current City Games and was just completed in October.

Although Xiushui No. 2 Middle School has just installed the plastic track and also hosted the county high school student sports meeting, the level of detail is naturally a huge gap compared to large stadiums.

Yeqin didn't have much experience in training and competition, but compared with the standard large stadium track, he can still feel the subtle difference.

"By the way, Ye Qin, this is your first national competition. What do you think of the atmosphere?!" Nie Fangping looked at Ye Qin, who was lingering on various banners and pedestrians outside the car window, and said with a smile.

The scale and investment of the Fifth City Games, before arriving in the star city of Xiaoxiang Province, Nie Fangping did not expect it to be so huge, it feels like the whole city has been mobilized.

"There are a lot of people and it's very lively." Ye Qin nodded honestly. "Today we watched the stadium and there were many people coming, almost more people than I participated in the last World Championship."

He is still a little shocked in his heart. He, Nie Fangping and other Zuohai City representatives in the car have just gone to Helong Stadium to see the venue. What they have seen and heard along the way made Yeqin feel the hotness of the country's top major events for the first time Atmosphere.

The level of organization and participation atmosphere, from competition organization to venue construction, transportation and communication, security, as well as logistics reception, news reports and other arrangements are in order, which is much higher than that of his past few games. .

It was the first time Yeqin went abroad to compete, and it was also the first time to participate in a large-scale competition. In many respects, there was no reference to it. But now it is just the City Games that makes Yeqin feel the domestic investment in large-scale events.

This time, Xiaoxiang Province invested more than 150 million yuan in the Urban Games. It is known as "the efforts of the whole province to run the Urban Games well." This kind of high-efficiency activities can be said to create a very huge atmosphere.

Although there were many countries participating in the World Junior Championships, reaching more than 160, the total number of athletes was only more than 1,000, and the event of the competition was nothing more than track and field.

And this city game is a comprehensive large-scale sports event. Although there are only 57 participating cities, the total number of athletes has reached more than 6,000, which is the highest in history.

...

On the evening of October 23, the Helong Stadium was packed with more than 50,000 spectators. The clapping of applause and the noise made the whole stadium become extremely lively.

After the opening ceremony on the 18th, after five days of competition, the track and field events of the Five Cities Club finally began on the 23rd.

In the indoor inspection area of ​​the stadium, Ye Qin is wearing a number plate affixed to the representative of Zuohai City, warming up on the runway, lunging, raising his legs, straight-leg swinging trot, muscle stretching and so on.

In sprint competitions, most of the time in each race is less than tens of seconds, but often the time for athletes to warm up may be half an hour or even more than an hour.

Today, there are only three events in the men’s track event, the men’s 400-meter preliminaries, the men’s 100-meter preliminaries and the men’s 1500-meter preliminaries.

Starting at 19:30 is the men's 400-meter preliminaries.

The track and field competition time of the City Games is from October 23rd to October 27th for a total of 5 days. The time for Yeqin to participate in the men's 400 meters and men's 200 meters are as follows:

At 19:30 on October 23, the men's 400m preliminaries;

At 09:25 on October 24, the men's 400m semifinals;

At 20:10 on October 24, the men's 400m final;

At 19:45 on October 25th, the men's 200m preliminaries;

October 26, 10:05 ~www.wuxiaspot.com~Men's 200m semifinals;

At 20:30 on October 26, the men's 200m final;

The competition is also three shots. For large-scale domestic (youth) sports games such as the City Games, provincial and municipal teams in sports schools in various cities, key high school sports students, college sports students, etc., the number of people who signed up for the competition is A very large number.

However, the City Games have requirements for contestants. The age requirement for contestants is that they were born after January 1, 1983, and they should all meet the standards in the 2003 indoor competition or championship designated by the China Athletics Association.

Therefore, before the start of the Star City Urban Games competition, in addition to the August National Track and Field Championships, a qualifier for the Men's Urban Games track and field competition has already been held in the land of abundance.

Yeqin also heard Nie Fangping mentioned that qualifier, but he has already participated in the World Junior Championships, and his results have already reached the standard, which naturally meets the criteria for participation.
