On the afternoon of July 14.

Flags were hoisted over the Karo Zekini Olympic Stadium, and many spectators had gathered in the stands on the left and right sides of the stadium to watch the World Youth Championships.

Perhaps due to the atmosphere of the upcoming Olympic Games in August, the World Junior Championships in Grosseto were surprisingly good, with the crowd continuing unabated from the opening day on 12 July. Especially when it comes to the afternoon and evening games, because they are semi-finals and finals, they cause everyone to cheer and scream in the venue.

"In the first half of the race, follow the rhythm of the preliminaries, don't press the speed too hard, if you are left behind too much, even if your speed starts to sprint in the second half, it will be difficult to catch up with others."

In the check-in area, the runners of the second group of the men's 400m semi-finals are queuing up to check in, and the first group of semi-finals has already started the race, and the second group of players is about to take the field.

He is the player in the third group of the semi-finals, he has just finished warming up at the moment, and he can't run far on the side, and after the second group of players is on the field, he will soon go to their third group of players to start lining up for roll call, and then follow on the field.

Nie Fangping looked at the second group of players who were about to play, and his heart became slightly nervous. Turning his head to look at Ye Qin, whose expression was quite calm, he lowered his head and once again instructed the precautions for the game.

This is the first time that the two masters and apprentices have faced a world-class tournament together, and Nie Fangping was not by Yeqin's side at the World Junior Championships in Sherbrooke last year, and there are some things that have always been regretted.

This time, he was there, from the analysis of the players before the game, as well as Ye Qin's state and rhythm, he observed very carefully, and made some suggestions in detail. In fact, at this stage, what should have been said has already been said, and it should have been analyzed after yesterday's preliminaries, but Nie Fangping still habitually explained a few words, there is a difference between having a coach and not having a coach at this time. Especially for young athletes, their psychological state is not stable enough, even if they just talk casually, it can play a role in soothing the athlete's emotions.

"Got it, coach, I'll keep the rhythm under control."

Ye Qin nodded calmly, the feeling of this World Youth Championships is indeed different from the World Junior Championships, not to mention the size of the participating teams, but Nie Fangping is here, he is really much more relieved. It's a bit like the first person to follow the Nanxiu City team to participate in the Provincial Youth Championship, and suddenly saw the principal and teachers on the sidelines, and suddenly became down-to-earth.

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

"That's good." Nie Fangping nodded, "The information of some players in the World Youth Championships is not particularly complete, and the level reflected in the preliminaries may not be completely reliable, so you have to observe more carefully, don't fight to the greatest extent, but also make sure that you are in the top two in the group." ”

With Ye Qin's preliminaries running a time of 46.58 seconds, as long as Ye Qin can maintain the level of the preliminaries in this semi-final, Nie Fangping is not worried about Ye Qin's problems in entering the finals.

But at the same time, he is also worried that because Ye Qin is thinking about tomorrow's men's 200m preliminaries and semifinals and 400m finals, he will not be able to qualify for today's semifinals, which he can't accept.

Of course, this is the semi-finals, and Ye Qin himself has the qualifications to advance to the finals, and he will not directly ask Ye Qin to run with all his might.

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 place.

This is also a stage that athletes must go through in the process of growth, accumulating experience, rationally distributing their physical fitness, some of them do not need to communicate and teach, many athletes can be self-taught, according to the strength of the opponents in the same group to adjust.

Suddenly there was a burst of cheers in the arena, followed by a loud shout in English in the somewhat dull check-in area: "Hey, we Americans are running into 46 seconds!" ”

"46 seconds?"

"This is the semi-finals, and the Yankees will have 46 seconds in it!"

The two groups of players waiting to play in the check-in area suddenly had a slight commotion.

The men's 400m runners are basically 46 seconds and 45 seconds are a watershed, and at the level of current athletes, if they can enter the 46 seconds, even if they enter the ranks of international experts, they can basically qualify for major international competitions.

The 45-second is almost the best to the top level of the men's 400m, and it is the level that has a chance to reach the final and compete for medals in various major competitions.

Judging from the results of the past track and field World Youth Championships, basically being able to enter 46 seconds is almost able to win medals, and suddenly someone passed on the results of the field, which still brought a lot of pressure to the players who were about to play.

The U.S. team's track and field prowess is well known, and it has always dominated the sprint event, with three of the eight athletes in a 100-meter final or 200-meter final.

If the men's 1200m can occasionally be challenged by top athletes from other countries, such as Vanobelli defeated the American elite in the 90s and won the 100m championship, then in the 400m event, basically whether it is the World Championships or the Olympic Games, the US team has hardly conceded the championship, and often the top three will be occupied by them.

Ye Qin subconsciously tensed up a little when he heard that a player had entered 46 seconds, he had not yet run in the arena for 46 seconds, and suddenly heard that someone had run this result in the semi-finals, and he only felt an indescribable sense of urgency.

"Don't get excited, I'll run according to my own ideas, now is not the time to care about other people." Nie Fangping's voice sounded in his ears at the right time, "This is deliberately creating pressure on you. ”

Although Nie Fangping has not participated in international competitions, he has good English, and he knows a little about various domestic and foreign competitions.

"Hmm." Ye Qin took a light breath, turned his head and glanced in the direction where the voice came from, only to see a black young man wearing a team uniform of the United States being pulled away by several staff members.

Although this method is not very bright, in the outdoor venue, there is no way for someone to shout a few times, even if you know that the other party is deliberate, you can't do anything.

In addition, there will be live TV screens next to the warm-up track in the indoor check-in area of many large-scale competitions for the athletes who will compete later to learn about the results of the previous athletes.

Of course, this is also aimed at seasoned professional athletes, many of whom may have half a foot in the professional ranks, but many of them are now just high school students. Before the time of play, the mentality will still be affected to some extent.

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

In the arena, the game gun rang out, and a burst of cheers returned to calm. A few minutes passed, and the third group of the men's 400m semi-finals entered the field!
