"Coach Nie, Ye Qin's main event is 400 meters, right?"

Yang Anjun looked at Ye Qin, who was warming up and preparing for the 400-meter preliminaries that were about to start, and suddenly asked Nie Fangping beside him.

"Well, that's right." Nie Fangping bowed slightly, and shouted at Ye Qin, who was not far away, "The ligament joints are fully opened, and the body is warmed up." ”

Only then did he slowly turn his head and look at Yang Anjun a little strangely, "What, Director Yang thinks there is something wrong, I remember saying this before, right?" ”

When Ye Qin was training at the provincial sports school in August, Yang Anjun came to him and hoped that Ye Qin could participate in the 4×100-meter relay event, but Nie Fangping refused.

I had talked to Yang Anjun about the projects that Ye Qin participated in and the main and secondary projects he trained, and after that, Yang Anjun's enthusiasm for him and Ye Qin was obviously weakened, which is also a normal situation.

However, fortunately, Ye Qin, as a contestant in Zuohai City, is still extremely competitive in the two events participating in the competition, and there will be no bad things.

"That's right, Coach Nie, I looked at the results of the last City Games, as well as the results of the men's 200m and 400m in the national championships or large-scale events in recent years, and then I compared Ye Qin's World Junior Championship results, and I found a problem, Ye Qin's 200m results are obviously better than 400 meters, right? Shouldn't Ye Chin's special project be more appropriate to change from 400 to 200? ”

In the last Four Cities Games, the men's 200m champion was 20.95 seconds, and the 400m time was 45.88 seconds. Compared with Ye Qin's 200m time of 21.12 seconds and 47.23 seconds in the 400 meters, it is obvious that Ye Qin's strength in the men's 200 meters is stronger than that of the 400 meters.

Judging from the previous training and Nie Fangping's focus on Ye Qin's competition, Yang Anjun found that Nie Fangping obviously attaches much more importance to 400 meters than 200 meters.

But from the perspective of results, it is the opposite, Ye Qin's 200-meter performance is more or less more than 400 meters, which makes Yang Anjun somewhat puzzled by Ye Qin's main and secondary events.

"This is temporary, and everyone will know in another year and a half."

Nie Fangping smiled indifferently and did not answer much to Yang Anjun's objection.

He is Ye Chin's head coach, and even if others are dissatisfied and disagree with him, his current situation is strictly responsible for Ye Chin. He hopes to protect Ye Qin better, so that he can grow better in a few years, and when he is old enough and has enough grades, he will have more room for maneuver in the face of many things.

However, Nie Fangping didn't expect that Ye Qin's progress in 200 meters was faster than he expected in 400 meters.

After all, the main training is usually 400 meters, and the training according to the progress and plan of 400 is more included.

After the results of the World Junior Championships came out, Nie Fangping himself carefully analyzed it, and when he was in Yanjing, he also looked at the results of some domestic and foreign sprinters through the Athletics Management Center for reference.

Ye Qin's characteristics are obviously superior in the second half of the race, and his ability to maintain speed is excellent, and it is said that he should have achieved better results in the 400 meters. At present, many 400-meter runners in China rarely run within 21.50 seconds in the 200-meter before the 400-meter does not break 47 seconds.

They had good speed endurance in the second half of the race and plenty of fitness, but they were quite a bit worse in absolute speed.

For other athletes who specialize in the 1200 meters, if they can reach the level of the athlete level in the 1200 meters, it is much more difficult to run the 400 meters and become a athlete.

They started at a good start, but they were able to maintain their speed.

But Nie Fangping is actually very clear that the more this is the case, the more it proves Ye Qin's potential in the 400-meter event. Ye Qin has the characteristics of both, but after all, he is still young, and the training time is also long, and the best combined performance at this time is the 200 meters, but in the long run, with the growth of his overall strength level and physical fitness, coupled with the advantage of the second half and not weak speed ability, there will be a lot of room for growth in the next 400 meters.

The popularity of 400 meters is not low in the world, and the technical characteristics of the world's top sprinters have been repeatedly analyzed in China over the years, but the current situation in the domestic sprint industry is even bleaker than that of 1200 meters.

1200 meters, especially 100 meters, this is the pearl of track and field, no matter what level of competition, it has always been the focus, and 400 meters, before the emergence of top athletes, want to attract attention is not a little bit worse.

is as strong as the American "Forrest Gump", if it is only a 400-meter god, it is not enough to be more well-known than other 100-meter athletes of the same era in terms of influence. But with the addition of a 200 meters, it immediately became the pride of the times and the undoubted world flyer.

There are too many runners in the first and second hundred meters, and it is too crowded, and it will take at least three or five years for Ye Qin to fight his way out of the way, from a first-class athlete to a runner, and then hone his skills little by little, meticulously carving.

In an event like the 100m, every 0.1 second of progress may require an unknown amount of training and effort behind it, and even if there is a stagnation, it will greatly dampen the athlete's self-confidence.

Ye Qin Ye Qin's main event with 400 meters as a breakthrough, at least in the short term, did not encounter a bottleneck so quickly, the room for growth is high, and the progress may be a few tenths of a second and a few tenths of a second, for young athletes, this kind of progress can promote him to be more focused and devoted to training, which is good for the early growth of the entire career.

While the two were talking, Ye Qin's warm-up activities had ended, and the roll call in the check-in area had also begun, and the men's 400-meter preliminaries had begun.

There are a total of six groups of runners in the men's 400m preliminaries, and Ye Qin is the second group, standing among the other preliminaries in the same group, it can be clearly seen that Ye Qin is much more immature than the others.

The players who participated in the City Games were generally concentrated in 83 and 84, that is, around nineteen or twenty years old, Ye Qin stood in the crowd, obviously looking immature and young than other players, although there was no big disadvantage in height, but many coaches or staff could see that Ye Qin was a few years younger than others.

After completing the warm-up, Ye Qin already felt that his body was slightly hot, there were faint sweat stains on his forehead, and the cells and muscles of the whole province were still alive, which was the best state before the game.

The body is fully moved, and every gesture seems to be full of strength, without a hint of jerkiness.

Before the roll call was about to play, he looked at Nie Fangping again, and saw that the other party just smiled and nodded at him, and didn't say much, and followed directly.

Nie Fangping didn't put the slightest pressure on him in the City Games, although he really didn't come to play, but Ye Qin's mentality was still relatively relaxed, and he didn't make any requirements for specific results, just relying on his own performance in the arena, which made Ye Qin very comfortable.

Athletes are so strong, standing on the track to start the competition, naturally have the desire to win the championship, the mentality of the internal initiative to pursue the championship honor, naturally not forced by external pressure to come to play brilliantly.

The growth of a track and field athlete on the field is actually gradually honed through one competition after another, and in these competitions he gradually finds self-confidence, finds his own positioning, and then continues to improve and surpass.

In athletics, you have to compete with your opponents, and a lot of the time against yourself.

Under the leadership of the on-site staff, Ye Qin and seven other 400-meter preliminaries crossed the tunnel and appeared in the middle of Helong Stadium.

The buzzing noise was like the vibration of a huge machine as it was running, and the noise had been echoing in Ye Chin's ears.

Ye Qin raised his head and looked around the stands of the stadium, a large area of black and black, and it was completely impossible to see how many people there were at a glance.

The sound of the small trumpet, the rhythmic rattle of the castanets, and the shouting and cheering with the accent of Xiaoxiang Province from time to time are particularly wonderful under the interweaving of the lights on the scene.

Suddenly, Ye Qin felt that his heart seemed to beat a little faster with the noisy sound of the scene, not nervous, but the atmosphere of the competition, which unconsciously made the athletes excited and enthusiastic.

In front of the starting line, eight runners were the focus of attention, and the spotlights flashed in the distance, and they were all photographing the runners who were about to start the race.

"That's a lot of people!"

Ye Qin sighed silently in his heart again, compared to the World Junior Championships he had participated in, the audience of only a few thousand people at the scene already made him feel very lively, and during the Provincial Youth Track and Field Championships, although the Conch Stadium was also very large, the audience at that time was only three or two big cats and kittens, and there was no hot atmosphere at all.

Only today, the audience applauded, and they were all waiting for the start of the second group of heats in the 400m.

Ye Qin's eyes were slightly closed, feeling the heat wave and noise coming to his face, and he took a breath gently.

This is the stage of the national competition, and here he is!
