Born to Run

Chapter 218: New coach (below)

From Yu Weili's tone, Ye Qin could hear the other's fists and expectation, and nodded heavily.

   Randy Hunter only knew some simple expressions in Chinese, and didn't understand what Yu Weili had just said, but he probably guessed it from the look of the other party. He smiled and said in English: "Young man, don't worry, your talent is amazing. I believe you can achieve results that exceed the expectations of others."

   "Coach, it is my honour to be able to get your guidance, and I hope we can cooperate happily in the future."

   Yeqin heard Randy Hunter's words and replied in English with a smile. He had a very good impression of the white man in front of him. The first time he met, he did not have the arrogance of any famous teacher. On the contrary, he looked like an old man next door. He smiled and narrowed his eyes into a line, very kind.

"Haha, Ye, it turns out that you know English. This is wonderful. I am also worried that there will be obstacles to communication in the future. I need to find an interpreter." Randy Hunter clapped his hands like an old child. Then he gave Ye Qin a hug.

   "It can only be some simple daily expressions. It may not be possible if it is too complicated."

   Yeqin smiled and gave Randy Hunter a light hug, but he didn't expect that he was so excited about being able to speak English. Since last year's World Junior Championships, he will study English, especially the expressions of spoken English, if he has time. At that time, Nie Fangping encouraged him. Don't look at Nie Fangping's lifelong coach who was just curled up in Nanxiu City. His English level was not low and he could understand a lot of English literature. There is no barrier to communicating with other people in English when in Italy.

   "It's okay, you can learn the others slowly in the future!" Randy Hunter said with a smile.

   After a brief exchange, Randy Hunter did not stay in the indoor training hall much, and soon left with Yu Weili, Feng Shuyou and others. He still has some formalities to go through, and Randy Hunter has just arrived in Yanjing this morning, and the jet lag has not reversed, so he went to the training bureau and made sure to see the person in charge of him. After the athletes, he went back to rest contentedly.

   "Really a foreigner!"

After Randy Hunter left, Yechin couldn't help but sigh. He really didn't expect the national team to arrange for him a coach from abroad. For the time being, he didn't know his level, but the impression of the first meeting was still very nice.

   It’s not that there are no foreign teachers in the track team coaching staff. As far as he knows, in the race walking and long-distance running events, there are several foreign coaches who seem to be from Italy or elsewhere.

The introduction of foreign coaches by the track and field team is not like the coaches of the domestic sports system, who can be transferred to the national team with a single paper, but from the perspectives of salary, treatment, contracts, etc., and some high-end coaches have their own It takes a lot of time for brokers and economic companies to negotiate and negotiate treatment.

   "You are taken too seriously, it makes people jealous. I have the opportunity to come and train with you in the future." Yang Yao said with an enviable expression on his face after seeing a few people go.

   "Brother Yang, do you know the origin of this coach?" Ye Qin calculated from Yang Yao's expression that Yang Yao might know the origin of Randy Hunter.

"Of course I know." Yang Yao lightly took a breath and gently punched Ye Qin's shoulder. "Good luck for your kid. You can get Randy Hunter as the coach in charge, although I don't know that he is sprinting. Achievements, but his reputation is really great."

   "Quickly talk about it." Ye Qin couldn't help being curious. Before, including Yu Weili, he hadn't talked about the history of the new coach in detail. It was the first time I met today. He was really curious.

   "Do you know Mike Powell, a famous long jumper?" Yang Yao asked.

   "I don't know." Ye Qin shook his head. He knew very little about many of the world's famous athletes and superstars.

  Yang Yao looked at Ye Qin, a little speechless, and then asked, "Mike Powell, you don't know it? Have you heard of the term Beamon disorder?"

   "This knows."

Ye Qin nodded. He once heard Nie Fangping mention that in the 1968 Olympics long jump final, the American star Bob Bimon made his first jump very well. It was beyond the measuring range of optical instruments used for measurement. Referees were not allowed to use steel. The ruler is used to manually measure Bimon's grades. The official score for this jump is 8.90 meters. After the results came out, the whole stadium was boiling. In the previous 33 years, the world record for long jump only broke 22 centimeters. But in an instant, Bimon increased the record by 55 cm. This record has also produced a new term in the track and field world: "Beam barrier", which means that the athlete's performance is beyond imagination and cannot be surpassed again.

   "The 8.90-meter long jump world record created by Bob Beamon has been maintained for 23 years. It was not broken until 1991. Do you know who broke this record?"

   "You mean..." Ye Qin had a faint guess on his face when he heard it.

"It's Mike Powell. In the third World Championships in 1991, Mike Powell broke Bob Beamon's original world record of 8.90 meters with 8.95 meters, and no one has ever broken it. Mike Powell is the same. Times Carl Lewis’s strongest competitor in the long jump, his coach is Randy Hunter you just met. There is also the triple jump world record holder Banks, also Randy Hunter Athlete."

   "Huh!" Upon hearing this, Ye Qin couldn't help but grow his mouth and screamed in surprise.

   He thought that Randy Hunter might have a backing ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is the world's top coach, but he didn't expect it to be so big.

   As for Randy Hunter as a long jump coach, Ye Chin did not find it strange. The men's sprint and the long jump are closely related to each other far more closely than other events.

  Like Ye Qin, although he is not familiar with Mike Powell, he still has some understanding of Karl Lewis, who Yang Yao mentioned.

   Mainly in the early 1990s, Karl Lewis was in full swing, ranking first in the world in the 100m, 200m and long jump competitions, completely dominating the level. Yeqin remembers that Karl Lewis' best time in the men's 200 meters was 19.75 seconds. Even if he was placed in the Athens Olympics, he still won the championship.

   And Karl Lewis is a long jumper from a long jump. He slowly tapped out his talent for sprinting during the process of practicing long jump, thus becoming the most influential track and field athlete in the 1990s.

   "That's why I envy you!"

  Yang Yao sighed and smiled. The track team was able to hire Randy Hunter to be Yechin's coach, which was really beyond his imagination.

   But after thinking about it, some aspects are actually quite suitable. Ye Qin has a very good ability to maintain speed in the second half, but the acceleration and explosive power in the first half are relatively weak. Yu Weili and Feng Shuyou in the track team must have done research. Randy Hunter is good at training in explosive running and jumping, which is of great benefit to Ye Qin. Besides, even if it is not suitable for Yechin, with a comprehensive coach like Randy Hunter, it is enough to give advice on men's long jump.
