Born to Run

"Coach, what is the national youth record for men's 200 meters?"

When coming out of the mixed channel area, Ye Qin saw Nie Fangping who was already waiting here at a glance, and the first words he spoke made Nie Fangping a little surprised.

"Why do you suddenly remember asking about the 200-meter record for young men across the country?" Nie Fangping threw a bottle of water prepared in advance and asked with a smile.

Ye Qin’s performance in the track and field just now was in his eyes. He didn’t bother him. Before the game, he didn’t bother to say how Ye Qin would celebrate. That was the moment of honour after Ye Qin won the championship, and naturally it was also Ye Qin. Qin revealed his true feelings after winning the game.

He is Ye Qin's coach. He is pleased with Ye Qin's performance and is also happy to see Ye Qin enjoy that moment of glory.

"Just want to ask." Ye Qin shook his head, "Look at how bad I am?"

When taking a photo with his own results on the track just now, he actually felt a little bit embarrassed. If he broke the national record or the national youth record, he might feel better when taking pictures, but just broke the national youth record. This made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

The joy of just winning the championship has gradually diminished a bit over time, but records of things come to mind from time to time.

"The national youth men's 200-meter record is 20.86 seconds, which was set by Yang Yao at the National Youth Athletics Championships in 2000."

Seeing Ye Qin’s seriousness, Nie Fangping paused for a while, as if recalling it for a while, and then said to Ye Qin, “You ran for 20.93 seconds. It’s not far from this result. Don’t be too impatient for the next year or two. You should be able to break this record. When Yang Yao made this record, he was already nineteen years old. When you reach his age, you will definitely be able to run better than this."

Yang Yao was born in 1981, and Ye Qin was born in 1987. In terms of age, Ye Qin is only 16 years old this year, 17 years old. With Ye Qin’s growth, in Nie Fangping’s view, Ye Qin is normal. The growth trajectory of China, breaking the national record for young men in the 200m and 400m, is almost a sure thing.

Moreover, Nie Fangping has never asked Yeqin on the basis of various domestic records. He originally hoped that Yeqin could focus on the growth of his own performance. If you focus on the national youth record, it would be better to directly target the national record, and even the national record, in Nie Fangping's view, is a bit of a squeamish air.

At Yeqin’s age, when he was far from seeing his talent, he felt that he still should not give specific rules to limit it, so as not to achieve this result one day, the athlete suddenly realized that the goal was achieved, fame and fortune are all, and his mood suddenly relaxed. Down, lost the motivation to move on.

After all, the national record is only 20.58, but the Asian record is the 20.03 set by Japanese players in June this year, and it is even farther away from the world record of 19.32.

"Twenty seconds 86!" Ye Qin lowered his head and silently read the men's 200-meter national youth competition record. It was indeed about the same as the 200-meter final score of 20 seconds 93 in the 200-meter final of the City Games where he ran. The pimple has also passed. After training for so long and participating in some competitions, his vision has somewhat opened up. In fact, he has not paid much attention to the national young men's record or even the national record.

Think of the black Jamaican teenager in the World Junior Championships. With a record of 20.40 seconds, the opponent is less than one year older than him. That is what he wants to chase and surpass.

However, Ye Qin still asked Nie Fangping curiously: "What about Yang Yao, the youth record, is he still playing?"

Counting the time, the opponent set a national youth record in 2000. This year he was just 22 and 23 years old. This is the pinnacle of his personal sports career. If he did not retire, his performance would have been even better.

"Yang Yao..." Nie Fangping's voice stretched a little longer, and after thinking about it, "I didn't know much about it after I left the sports school, but he probably won second or third in the Asian Games last year. You are the best 200m runner in the country right now, and you are not far from them, but don't be proud, keep working hard, you can still have a long road ahead."

After leaving the sports system, Nie Fangping is no longer as informed about the domestic track and field news as before. He thought for a while about the athlete Ye Qin talked about, Yang Yao, and remembered that the other party seemed to run well in the Asian Games last year. The current level of men's 200 meters and 400 meters in China has been improved since the 1990s to the beginning of the new millennium, but this improvement is actually very limited.

In the 1996 Jinling National Athletics Championships, Han Chaoming set a national record of 20.54 for men’s 200 meters. In 1998, Wei set a national record of 10.17 for men’s 100 meters at the National Athletics Grand Prix in 1998. At the 2001 East Asian Games, Xu Zhiyu Created a national record of men's 400 meters in 45.25 seconds.

However, the refreshing of these records is not that big compared to the performance improvement of the previous domestic players in the 1960s and 1980s. On the other hand, other Asian countries, especially Japan, have repeatedly made breakthroughs from the men's sprint event in the 1990s. The Asian record of 100 meters in 10 seconds, and the Asian record of 200 meters in 20 seconds 03. The domestic men's sprint event is at a declining stage.

Ye Qin nodded. He probably understood the general situation in his heart. He is still far from the best sprinter in China, but the gap is not that big.

If Yeqin had not participated in the past few games, he might be complacent about his current results. For his age, he could enter the ranks of the best sprinters in the country. No matter who he is, he will inevitably feel a little bit in the mood. Swell.

Just after winning the men's 200m national championship in the City Games, Ye Chin's performance on the field is almost the same as other competitors, but after calming down a little bit, he realized his achievement, which is really nothing.

If he hadn't participated in the past few games, hadn't seen a mountain, hadn't seen a genius young athlete who was pulled more than ten meters away in a 200-meter run, Ye Chin would probably not have any other ideas.

But he went to participate in the past few games and saw what level others can run, only to know that he is still far from others.

Just as He Jun, who had just greeted him in the passageway, was so beautiful when he won the National Youth Track and Field Championships at the age of sixteen or seventeen. However, when he went abroad, he participated in the first World Junior Championships and failed to make the finals.

That kind of huge gap can affect a person's mentality for future competitions.

This is also the reason why Nie Fangping tried every possible means to let Yeqin participate in the World Junior Games to see the world. The young people's vision should be opened up, not just confined to the world in front of them.

"Okay, put on your clothes quickly. Our trip to the City Games is over. We can go to the stands to watch the finals later."

Seeing Yeqin, there seemed to be no doubt. Nie Fangping threw Yeqin's luggage to Yeqin, reminding him to put on his jacket and trousers. The weather in the Star City at the end of October was relatively mild, but there was already some coolness at night.

"Are there any other games to watch?"

Ye Qin found his jacket from the inside of his luggage, put it on his body, and asked Nie Fangping.

"Men's 110-meter hurdles. There are bronze medal winners in the World Championships tonight. You can see that the start of sprinters is common, and many part-time runners start using the hurdles method."

"Hurdle?" Ye Qin put on his clothes, with a little doubt in his eyes. This was the first time he heard Nie Fangping talk about it.

"It's a hurdle." Nie Fangping nodded and continued, "The starting requirement for the men's 110-meter hurdle is higher than that of the 100-meter and 200-meter hurdles. The number of steps and the point of effort must be counted. We can observe that you will be on the road in two years. In college, you will have to learn to use your brain to observe and analyze your own situation in the future training."

"Row!"

Ye Qin didn't expect Nie Fangping to bring up the matter two years later~www.wuxiaspot.com~ But since Nie Fangping said so, he was also very interested in observing.

After putting on his clothes, he bounced slightly on the spot, and suddenly glanced at Nie Fangping's neck.

Nie Fangping raised his brows, "Look at what, there is something dirty on my face?"

Ye Qin shook his head and smiled. Suddenly he stretched out his hand and gently drew a circle on Nie Fangping's chest, then took a step back, as if looking at what was on Nie Fangping's chest from the left and right, "I'm just waiting for the gold medal to hang up and see if it looks good."

"What?" Nie Fangping didn't seem to understand what Ye Qin was saying for a while.

Ye Qin had already laughed and hopped off at this moment, and the voice came back, "Coach, national champion!"

Nie Fangping was stunned for a while, then he woke up, looked at Ye Qin's back, and cursed lightly, "Smelly boy!"

There was a smile on his face, and he walked up.
