Born to Run

In the afternoon of July 14. ◢Щщш.sUimEnG.lā

Flags were hunting over the Carozekini Olympic Stadium, and on the spectator stands on the left and right sides of the audience, a large number of spectators had gathered to watch the World Youth Championship.

Perhaps because of the influence of the atmosphere of the upcoming Olympic Games in August, the sports atmosphere of the World Youth Championship held in Grosseto was amazing. Since the opening on the first day of July 12, the enthusiasm of the audience has not diminished. Especially when it comes to the afternoon and evening games, because it is the semi-finals and finals, it arouses the cheers and exclamations of everyone in the venue.

"In the first half of the race, follow the rhythm of the preliminaries. Don't overwhelm your speed. If you are dropped too much, even if your speed starts to sprint in the second half, it will be difficult to catch up with others."

In the inspection area, contestants in the second group of the men's 400m semi-final are queuing for the check-in. The first group of the semi-final has already started competition, and the second group of contestants will soon be on the field.

He is a player in the third group of the semi-finals. He just finished warming up at the moment, and he can't run far on the side. After the second group of players come on the field, the third group of players will start to line up for a roll call, and then follow.

Nie Fangping looked at the second group of players who were about to play, and his heart became a little nervous. Turning his head and glanced at Ye Qin, who was still calm, he lowered and ordered a word of precautions for the game again.

This is the first time that the two masters and apprentices have faced a world-class competition together. Last year, Nie Fangping, the youngest student in Sherbrooke, was not with Yeqin. Some things have always regretted.

This time he was there. From the analysis of the players before the game, as well as the grasp of Yeqin's state and rhythm, he observed very carefully and made some meticulous suggestions. In fact, at this stage, what should be said has already been said. The analysis was done after yesterday's preliminaries, but Nie Fangping still habitually explained a few words. At this time, there is a difference between having a coach and not having a coach. Especially young athletes, their mental state is not stable enough, even if they just talk casually, they can also relieve their emotions.

"I see, coach, I will control the rhythm."

Ye Qin nodded calmly. The feeling of this World Youth Championship is indeed different from that of the World Junior Championships. Not to mention the size of the participating teams, but Nie Fangping is here, and he is really relieved. It's a bit like the first person to participate in the Provincial Youth Championship with the Nanxiu City representative team, and suddenly saw the principal and teachers on the sidelines, and he was at ease.

In more than a year, he participated in five competitions in China, and he has become more able to adapt to the atmosphere of this competition. The body can be easily mobilized and excited, but he can control his emotions so as not to be too excited.

"That's good." Nie Fangping nodded, "The information of some players in the World Youth Championship is not particularly complete, and the level reflected in the preliminaries may not be completely reliable. So you have to observe more carefully and do not have to fight to the greatest extent, but Also make sure to live in the top two of your group."

With Yeqin's pre-race time of 46.58 seconds, as long as Yeqin can maintain the level of the preliminaries in this semi-final, Nie Fangping is not worried about Yeqin's entry into the final.

But at the same time, he was also worried that because Ye Chin was thinking about tomorrow's men's 200m preliminaries and semifinals and 400m finals, he was too reserved, and that he could not qualify for today's semifinals. This was something he couldn't accept.

Of course, this is the semi-final. Ye Qin himself has the qualifications to advance to the final, and he will not directly ask Ye Qin to run as hard as he can.

After all, although it is a sprint, a race of several hundred meters, the load on the body is very large. Only when the strength is insufficient, you need to consider going all out to fight for a spot.

This is also a stage that athletes must go through in the process of growing up, accumulating experience and rationally distributing their physical stamina. Some actually do not need to communicate and teach. Many athletes can learn without a teacher and adjust according to the strength of opponents in the same group.

There was a sudden burst of cheers in the arena, and then in the dull inspection area, someone from far away shouted loudly in English: "Hi, we Americans ran into 46 seconds!"

"46 seconds?"

"This is the semi-finals, and the Yankees have already scored 46 seconds!"

There was a slight commotion in the two groups of players waiting to play in the inspection area.

46 seconds and 45 seconds for men's 400 meters are basically a watershed. At the current level of athletes, if they can enter 46 seconds, even if they enter the ranks of international players, they can basically qualify for large-scale international competitions.

And 45 seconds is almost the best to top level in the men's 400 meters. In various large-scale competitions, it is the level that has the opportunity to enter the finals and compete for medals.

Judging from the results of the past World Youth Track and Field Championships, it can basically enter 46 seconds, which is almost a medal. Suddenly someone passed the results of the field, which still brought a lot of pressure to the players who are about to play .

The track and field strength of the US team is well known. It has always been the king and dominance in the sprint event. In a 100-meter final or 200-meter final, the US team can occupy three places for eight players.

If the men’s one or two hundred meters can occasionally be challenged by top players from other countries, such as Dovanobelli defeating the American players in the 1990s and winning the 100 meters championship, then in the 400 meters, basically regardless of the world championships or In the Olympics, the US team hardly gave up the championship, and they often occupy the top three places.

When Ye Qin heard a player entering 46 seconds, his body was subconsciously tightened. He hasn't run into the field for 46 seconds yet. Suddenly he heard that someone ran out of the semi-final. I have an inexplicable sense of urgency.

"Don't get excited, wait until you run according to your own ideas, now is not the time to care about other people." Nie Fangping's voice sounded in his ears in good time, "This is deliberately to create pressure for you."

Although Nie Fangping has not participated in international competitions, his English is good, and he has a good understanding of various domestic and foreign competitions. After listening to the content of the opponent, he immediately understood.

"Well~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Ye Qin took a breath, turned his head and glanced at the direction where the voice came from, and saw a black youth wearing the American team uniform being pulled away by several staff members.

Although this method is not very bright, there is no way for someone to yell in an outdoor venue. You can't do anything even if you know that the other party did it on purpose.

Besides, the indoor check-in area of ​​many large-scale competitions is next to the warm-up track, and there are also live TV screens for athletes in subsequent competitions to understand the performance of previous players. If you want to say that deliberate interference is not a problem.

Of course, that is also aimed at professional athletes who have been fighting for a long time. Many of the athletes participating in the World Youth Championships may have been half-footed into the profession, but many of them are now just high school students and college students. Before going on the court, the mentality will still be affected somewhat.

After a slight commotion subsided, the second group of men's 400m semi-final soon entered the arena, and the third group of men's 400m semi-final also entered the waiting sequence.

In the arena, gunfire rang out, and there was a burst of cheers and calmness. After a few minutes, the third group of men's 400m semi-finals entered the field!
