Born to Run

Ye Qin put down the English textbook in his hand and stretched a long waist. He was in the next room, and he hadn't gotten up as Nie Fangping said.

Although he slept a bit late last night, and after the game, he was relieved of the burden, but the habit of getting up early for a long time allowed him to wake up just after seven o'clock.

However, at the end of today's game, instead of going to the morning jog as usual, I stayed in the room and read a book.

The head teacher Zhang Xiaolong no longer asks about his academic performance before. Although he has not received the admission letter from each university, the dean of teaching has already talked with him about this semester. Many universities in China already have it. The intention in this regard, but the specifics will probably be finalized by the third year of high school.

Moreover, after this City Games, it is estimated that it should be more secure. After all, the World Junior Championships are abroad, and the results have come out, but without the results of domestic competitions, there will still be a bit of criticism.

It's just that after leaving school, without reading books and doing exercises for a long time, Ye Qin occasionally felt a little unreliable in his heart. His current identity is still that of a student, and this identity will still affect him invisibly. Even if you don't need the college entrance examination, when you are in the learning atmosphere of the second and third year of high school, you still can't help picking up textbooks and taking a look.

Of course, Ye Qin also has a focus now. His mathematics is very poor. Now he basically put it aside, focusing mainly on English.

This is Nie Fangping’s suggestion, as well as his previous experience of going to Sherbrooke to participate in the World Junior Championships. If the English is not good enough, people will still be very inconvenient if they are abroad.

The black teenager from Jamaica last time, because of the language relationship, the two could only communicate with each other very simply.

In addition to the environment that athletes sometimes face, in addition to the field, there are many problems from off the field, such as interviews with reporters, communication with referee staff, finding venues, and so on.

He heard Nie Fangping talk about many football players who play in Europe. Basically, the players have more or less mastered several languages. Every time they return to a new national club, they need to pass the language barrier first. Although there are translations during the period, in order to be able to integrate into the team as quickly as possible and to understand the training instructions given by the coaches, it is best to be able to communicate and express themselves.

He is practicing track and field. Naturally, there are no problems of transfer and language integration into the team, but if it is possible to go to several foreign games in the future, it is of course a better thing to be able to master a foreign language more proficiently.

After memorizing a short essay, jumping out a few unfamiliar words and spelling it several times, Ye Qin put down the book. Learning and training are both long-term things. He is not in a hurry. According to his personality, as long as he starts to do it, he will persist in earnestly.

Today is October 27th, the last day of the City Games. The morning competitions are mainly the men's decathlon 110-meter hurdle, pole vault and discus, in addition to the women's 400-meter hurdle, and the men's and women's 20-kilometer walking finals.

These events have little to do with Yeqin. Only the men’s and women’s 4×100m relay and the 4×400m relay at night. Yeqin is ready to go to the stadium to watch the game. Don't Nie Fangping refused. Ye Qin didn't blame Nie Fangping because of this, because it is true that his physical ability to go through such a competition is somewhat insufficient.

And his trip to the City Games, after finishing the men's 200m final yesterday, has basically come to an end.

After putting down his textbooks, Ye Qin changed his spikes and sprint suits. At this time, it was still early and he didn't know where to go, so he just prepared to go to a track and field field outside the station to run a few laps and move around.

The body still feels a bit sore due to the relatively high intensity of the training these days, but after a long period of training, without proper exercise for a day, Ye Qin always feels that his body is a little unhealthy.

Moreover, after watching the men's 110-meter final last night, he carefully observed the starting points of several runners and felt that some of them were worthy of consideration.

"Are you going to train?" Ye Qin saw Nie Fangping push the door and walk in as soon as he changed his clothes and was about to go out.

"Well, I didn't listen to you. I watched the 110-meter hurdle last night, and I have some ideas, I want to try it." Ye Qin looked at Nie Fangping and replied with a smile.

His starting acceleration is a weak point. In the men's 200-meter final, Liu Dapeng's start, and the start of the men's 110-meter hurdle last night, he felt a little touched by the Shenghai athlete.

He reacts slowly to the start, but when he starts with two shots, he can actually consider running with a gun. If he masters the time well, his 200-meter level should be improved.

Of course, this Yeqin is not going to say that all competitions are like this, but he feels like he has learned a new trick that is useful, and he can put it in his skill column for emergencies.

There are not many tactics that can be adopted in the sprint event. Observing the opponent before the game and how to deal with it depends on the time in the final analysis. If you run with a gun, there are certain risks, but the opportunities also coexist.

"By the way, coach, didn't you say you want to go around today?"

Ye Qin was a little surprised to see Nie Fangping entering the door. Nie Fangping said yesterday that it is rare to visit Xiaoxiang Province to eat some local delicacies.

This area of ​​Xiu City in the north of Haixi Province may be hilly landform, with many mountains and heavy steam, and the taste is a bit close to that of Xiaoxiang Province. Ye Qin had eaten a nutritious meal for more than half a year, and now the taste is much lighter, and Nie Fangping also has requirements for his diet, so naturally he didn't even think about taking him there.

"I'll talk about it later."

Nie Fangping waved his hand and entered Ye Qin's room with a rather solemn expression, "Guide Zhou from the Tianguan Center just came over and chatted with me for a while."

"Guide Zhou?" Ye Qin was slightly surprised, "Why did he come?"

"All the participants in the City Games are young athletes. Before Zhou, Director Zhou told you that he would still lead the World Youth Championship next year. Come and observe the athletes."

Nie Fangping glanced at Ye Qin's room, "I thought you didn't get up, otherwise I just came over and talked to you in person."

"What's wrong, Master?" Ye Qin asked Nie Fangping strangely.

Nie Fangping paused slightly, and said in a deep voice: "The matter of your participation in the World Youth Championship next year is basically settled. No, Director Zhou came over and wants to invite you to join the national team for a training camp this winter."

"Training?" Ye Qin asked puzzled. "It's too early now, right? The World Youth Championship is in July next year."

"It's a little early." Nie Fangping nodded slightly, and then said: "However, this time is a bit different. Next year is the Olympic Games, you know?"

"Ok, I know."

Ye Qin nodded, suddenly his eyes widened and looked at Nie Fangping, "Coach, you mean I can go to the Olympics?"

"It's not working now."

Nie Fangping shook his head, "You are far from the B standard of the Olympic Games now, but there is still more than half a year, and it is not without a chance. Besides, our goal is to put the World Youth Championship, if this period If you can achieve the required results, then there is definitely a chance."

After listening to Nie Fangping's words, Ye Qin was a little stunned at any time, muttering softly, "Olympics, Olympics..."

It took a long time for Ye Qin to suddenly come back to his senses. He raised his head and looked at Nie Fangping and said, "Coach, what is the up-to-standard score?"

"The men's 200 meters now Yang Yao has ran out of the A mark. If you want to participate, you have to reach 20.59. For the men's 400 meters, the A mark is 45.55 and the B mark is 45.95."

After Zhou Bin left, Nie Fangping has once again learned about the Olympic competition standards. No athlete can resist the temptation of the Olympics, and no coach can resist.

Even Nie Fangping couldn't help but set his sights on the Olympics after talking about the World Youth Championship with Zhou Bin.

"The most hopeful thing for you now is the men's 400m B mark. Although you won third place in this City Games, the first two players failed to reach the mark. The rest is to see next year's trials."

Compared with Yeqin's 200m from 20.93 to 20.59, there is no doubt that he went from 46.60 in 400m to 45.95, which is more promising.

The difficulty of raising the 200 meters by 0.34 seconds is much greater than that of the 400 meters by 0.65 seconds. In particular, both results have begun to approach the national men’s best performance line.

"Coach, do you think I can do it?"

After listening to Nie Fangping's results, Ye Qin thought for a while and suddenly asked Nie Fangping.

Of course Ye Qin knew about the 2004 Olympics, but some things were far away from him like another world. He had never dared to think of such a possibility.

That was the Olympics. Even though he lived in the country and the news was blocked, how many people didn't know about the Olympics, but everyone didn't care about it. What's more, after practicing sports for a year, I have heard and heard about the Olympic Games more or less.

The Olympic Games and the World Championships are the highest-level track and field competitions of the IAAF, and the stage of the Olympic Games is the highest stage of track and field sports.

Ye Qin didn’t think about it. It would be great if he could participate in the Olympics one day. This is the pursuit of most track and field athletes, but he just dared to think about it. Perhaps the 2008 Olympic Games, UU Reading www.uukanshu At that time, he underwent more training and improved his grades. He might have a chance to compete.

And now, he naturally knows that he is still far away. Even if he is in China, his personal results are not top-notch. It was Zhou Bin who came to book early and said that he would definitely be a member of the World Youth Championship next year, Ye Qin. There is still a little bit of uncertainty in my heart, and I think it may be due to the familiarity between the World Championship and the opponent.

"I don't know if you can do it."

Nie Fangping looked at Ye Qin, with a faint smile on his face, "Ye Qin, you have to ask yourself whether you want to go to the competition or whether you want to try it. It is very possible to improve your performance this year, but if you really achieve It doesn’t matter if you don’t reach the target. You’re still young and you need more time to train and hone. Even if you don’t catch up with the Olympics next year, you can still wait for the 2008 edition and then the next edition in 2012. ."

"I originally wanted you to lay a solid foundation and train slowly so that you can have higher breakthroughs in the future, but in the past few months, your progress has exceeded my expectations. I did not bring a national championship abroad before, but You did it. I have never brought out a player who can participate in the Olympics before, so whether you can do it or not still depends on yourself. If you have such an idea, then do it and go all out! If you can’t, Then let's slow down, Ye Qin, to participate in the Olympics, you will be able to do it one day."
