Located in the southern part of the Canadian province of Quebec, Sherbrooke is the sixth-largest city in the province of Quebec and the third-tenth largest city in Canada.

Since the nineteenth century, Sherbrooke has been a traditional manufacturing center. In recent decades, the tourism services sector has taken a prominent position in the city's economy, as the traditional manufacturing sector in Sherbrooke has declined, and the growing knowledge-based economy has become a new driving force for the city's development.

With eight colleges and universities, Sherbrooke has the largest student population in Quebec, and international students from all over the world study here each year as a major contributor to the region's development, with a direct economic impact of more than $1 billion.

"The place where we competed was at the University of Sherbrooke, everyone followed the team leader and coach, obeyed the arrangement, did not run around, did not act alone, and if there were any problems, they would tell my coach or Captain Ye in time."

In front of the exit of Sherbrooke Airport, a team of more than 20 people slowly walked out of the airport under a high-flying five-star red flag. Team leader Zhou Bin stood in front of the crowd, looked at the more than a dozen team members and coaches and other staff behind him, and shouted loudly.

Ye Qin stood in the middle of the team, looking at the airport with bright and clean windows, as well as the people with high noses and deep eyes and different skin tones who hurriedly walked by from time to time, and he was still slightly in a trance.

After Nie Fangping and Wen Tongshi visited his home, his grandfather did not raise any objections to his going abroad to compete, and although his grandmother did not agree at first, she finally reluctantly agreed under the persuasion of grandpa and him.

After returning to school, he continued to study and attend classes at the same pace as before.

On June 27, after completing the final exam in Xiushui No. 2 Middle School, he and Nie Fangping rushed directly to Chong'an Airport, flew directly from Chong'an Airport to Yanjing, and then gathered at the Tianguan Center in Yanjing for training.

Intensive training is one thing, and it is mainly for young athletes and coaches who go abroad for the first time to explain some precautions and life details.

The third edition of the World Junior Championships will be held in Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada, from July 9 to July 13.

The Chinese delegation departed from China four days ahead of schedule, and the plane of more than 10 hours was fleeting, and when it stepped on the ground again, it was really already abroad. Looking back on the past week, it feels like a dream.

"Ye Qin, this is abroad, you are usually with Liu Feng and Wu Jiang, if you have any difficulties in life, you can come to me directly, or Captain Ye and Team Leader Zhou, before you came, Coach Nie talked with me for a long time." A gentle voice sounded beside Ye Qin, and standing behind Ye Qin was a middle-aged man in his forties, quite strong, and said to Ye Qin very kindly.

"Thank you, Coach Wang."

Ye Qinchao thanked the middle-aged man in front of him, he had known each other these days, this was Coach Wang Shouyang Wang from the Southern Jiangsu Provincial Sports School, he brought four athletes to participate in the competition this time, and he was one of the three coaches accompanying the World Junior Championships team.

Due to the limited number of athletes, in addition to the 16 athletes, the rest of the entourage only led by the head of the regiment, Ye Lidong, the team leader, Zhou Bin, three coaches, four interpreters, foreign affairs liaison staff, and physiotherapy and health care personnel, forming a representative team of 23 people.

And Nie Fangping, due to the limitation of the number of delegations this time, was not able to come to Sherbrooke, Canada with Ye Qin, but only sponsored at the Athletics Management Center in Yanjing, and waited until Ye Qin completed the competition, and then picked him up and went back together.

"Liu Feng, Wu Jiang, you two, take care of Ye Qin a little more, this is the first time he has gone abroad to compete." Wang Shouyang looked at Ye Qin, and then said to the two tall figures next to him.

"It's okay, Coach Wang, I'll take care of myself."

Ye Qin waved his hand again and again, he used to go out to play with Yan Ning or Nie Fangping, and he had their care, although he was a young man who was ignorant, he still had a sense of dependence in his heart.

And this time in the World Junior Championships, his delegation, in addition to the head Ye Lidong and team leader Zhou Bin, he knew the coach Wang Shouyang in front of him, and the other party was not familiar with his own coach Nie Fangping, but because Nie Fangping knew Coach Zhao Youcheng of the avant-garde sports association, he made special contact with him, hoping that Wang Shouyang could take more care of Ye Qin when he was abroad.

Although Wang Shouyang is a sports school coach in southern Jiangsu Province, he has been taking athletes to participate in the World Student Games, the Asian Youth Championships, and the World Junior Championships since the beginning of his nineties.

Although I don't know much about the sudden increase in the men's 400m and 200m events in the team, I will naturally pay more attention to it since I can be selected to participate in the team.

After all, he is also a coach who leads young athletes all year round, and he knows that young people of this age go abroad to compete, especially the players from 161 countries in the World Junior Championships, which is a big scene, and it is easy to get nervous. In addition, there is the time difference, the local climate, the venue, the requirements of the game, the situation of the opponent, etc., are all factors that need to be taken into account.

"Don't worry, coach, we live together, and we'll take care of each other."

After Wang Shouyang's voice fell, a sturdy young man beside Ye Qin patted Ye Qin's shoulder with a smile and said.

Another tall boy with a suitcase in his hand smiled and said, "Coach, it's also the first time we've been competing abroad!" ”

"It's your first time, but look at your size." Wang Shouyang smiled and pointed to the bodies of the two, "Why don't you suffer!" ”

Ye Qin looked at the two people standing beside him, and was a little helpless for a while.

One of the two is named Liu Feng, the other is named Wu Jiang, Liu Feng participated in the men's shot put event, and Wu Jiang is a men's special event, both of them are taller and larger than the people Ye Qin came into contact with, both of them are more than 1.9 meters tall, and their weight is more than 200 catties, compared to many tall athletes from Europe and the United States he saw when he got off the plane.

The ages of the three are actually not much different, but Liu Feng and Wu Jiang both have more competition experience than Ye Qin. And in terms of body type, Ye Qin's current height is only 1.77 meters, and he is almost the same as a child standing in front of the two. It is no wonder that Wang Shouyang hopes that the two of them will pay more attention to taking care of Ye Qin.

In the few days since he entered the team, there have always been more than a dozen athletes, and Ye Qin is more familiar with Liu Feng and Wu Jiang under him because Nie Fangping and Wang Shouyang have greeted each other.

In addition, there are two female athletes Jiang Limin and Xiao Juan led by Wang Shouyang, one is the women's javelin event, and the other is the women's shot put event.

In throwing events, the two requirements of the shot put discus generally require absolute strength and quality, and the body shape of the selected materials is relatively tall and strong, that is, the type of five big and three thick in the usual sense. In addition to strength, javelin throwers also need to take into account speed, be able to sprint short distances, have explosiveness, and are generally much more symmetrical than discus shot put players in terms of body shape.
