At this time, the black boy who was standing in the stands and had been observing Ye Qin running the 200-meter race showed a smile on his face again.

"The acceleration was slower than mine, the absolute speed was good, and the second half of the race was very good."

After watching Ye Qin's game, the black boy quickly analyzed the technical characteristics of the opponent in his heart, "Yesterday's 400-meter semi-final fortunately retired, otherwise I might not be able to outrun him and not qualify for the final final, it would be too embarrassing." But it's the 200m, it's my field, and it's not a threat to me! ”

His preliminaries time of 21.12 seconds was more than 0.4 seconds faster than Ye Chin's 21.56 seconds, and he still has reservations. Among the competitors in the same age, there should be no competitor who wants to win him in the 200 meters. However, just in case, he carefully watched the preliminaries of the other players from the sidelines.

At the 2001 Jamaica Junior Athletics Championships, the black teenager defeated Jackman Gonzalez, another talented sprinter in Jamaica at the time, and after him he was no longer just running, but learned to use his brain and began to use tactical skills.

It's like a soccer coach who starts laying out tactics before a game.

Although in the eyes of outsiders, he Yusse Bot laughs all day long, loves to play and make trouble, likes to play pranks, and is often lazy even when training.

But when it comes to the game, he never cares about it.

One of the most useful tips that Coach McNeil taught him was to observe the strengths and weaknesses of his opponents during the match, carefully observe their performance in the preliminaries, and understand their technical style and winning skills.

The first task of every match is to determine if there is a particularly strong opponent and, if so, whether to adjust the pace of the game by suppressing the opponent.

Of course, in most cases, talent alone is enough for him to win, but sometimes he deliberately uses some tactics.

"One day, tomorrow after running 200 meters, I can go home, damn it, the weather is so uncomfortable!"

The drizzle in the sky was still falling, some spectators in the stands had already raised their umbrellas, and the black boy shrunk his neck, feeling the wetness on his skin, and his mood suddenly became a little gloomy.

The young man's mood seemed to be the same as the weather, one second less he was still full of ambition to analyze the opponent, and the next second he began to complain about such weather.

The weather gave him some bad associations, as it was not his first time competing at the World Junior Championships, having already played in Debressen, Hungary in 2001.

In that World Junior Championships, because of his relatively young age, although he ran a personal best of 21.73 seconds in the 200 meters, he missed the semifinals.

But compared to the competition, it was the grey skies of Hungary and the rain that never stopped that he remembered it very much.

The unfamiliar environment, the cold weather, and the food monster, this trip to Canada made him feel the same way.

However, the weather is not so pleasant, but as long as there is a track and there are races, it will do!

……

"Beautiful!"

"Ye Qin, well done!"

"The 200m is also the semi-final!

At the moment when Ye Qin crossed the finish line, Zhou Bin, the leader of the Chinese team in the stands, instantly jumped up from his seat and shouted as if he had seen the national football team score Brazil's goal in the World Cup.

I am really very excited, although it is not as thrilling as the ball game, but compared to the women's 3000 and shot put competitions I have seen in the past few days, the short-distance track events, Ye Qin's preliminaries and semifinals are all in the last tens of meters to kill the opponent, and that feeling is also exciting.

Especially such a player, wearing a red sportswear, with the icon of a five-star red flag on his chest, was pushed up by Haixi Province...... No, it should be said that he bumped into the teenager in the selection arena, and his performance in the two games has completely conquered him.

At present, in the world-class track and field competitions, it is really rare for Chinese athletes in the men's sprint event to run into the final. The year before last, at the 2000 World Youth Championships, a young player from Sheng Hai rose in the 110-meter hurdles and won the third place in the men's 110-meter hurdles at that World Youth Championships.

Other Chinese players, especially men, who were able to reach the semi-finals of a world-class competition, seemed to be impossible for Zhou Bin to remember for a while.

And Ye Qin, not only ran the 400 meters into the finals, but also successfully entered the semifinals in the 200 meters, although I dare not say whether there is any hope of winning a card, but it definitely made Zhou Bin and Ye Lidong overjoyed.

Although many times everyone looks at the medals, in the track and field events, the men's sprint event is undoubtedly the most concerned and the heaviest, especially in the former "Forrest Gump" monopolized the 400m and 200m world records, and was praised on the altar, almost in these two events can get the rankings, sometimes compared to many other events to win the championship.

After Ye Qin left the arena, Zhou Bin pounced for the first time and gave Ye Qin a bear hug without thinking.

Unexpected surprises are always special and exciting.

Unlike the four young athletes in the throwing event led by Wang Shouyang, Ye Qin knew their results in a few people's hearts, and before arriving in Sherbrooke, everyone was unanimously optimistic that they could hope to win medals in the top three.

And Ye Qin is the pleading of Nie Fangping at the beginning, and the results have reached the competition standard, and the other is more of the idea of the two of them trying it. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, give young people a chance to accumulate some competition experience, and maybe they can perform well in China in the future.

As a result, both events reached the semi-finals, and the men's 400m will be the final in the afternoon, so I can't help but be surprised.

After the men's 200m preliminaries, Ye Qin did not stay on the sidelines for long, but temporarily left the Sherbrooke University Stadium with Ye Lidong and Zhou Bin and others.

The men's 200m semi-finals and final will be held tomorrow, the last day of the World Junior Championships, so he doesn't have to worry about it for the time being.

Instead, we should take a good rest, adjust our condition, and prepare for the men's 400m final, which starts at 17:10 today.

……

Afternoon.

The gloomy weather in Sherbrooke did not improve, and the already drizzling weather gradually began to rain lightly.

"This rain is a bit of a problem!"

Ye Lidong stood at the door of the check-in room, looking at the light rain outside, his brows furrowed. It was 16:30 in the afternoon, and the men's 400m final was only half an hour away.

"There was no notice from the organizing committee to suspend the race, and the women's 1500m final and the women's 200m final were held as usual." Zhou Bin stood behind Ye Lidong, and his expression was also not very good. The World Junior Championships are relatively tightly arranged, and this weather is not enough to completely affect the continuation of the competition schedule.

Since the start of the Chinese delegation, Liu Feng has only won a gold medal in the men's shot put yesterday, but this afternoon, in addition to Ye Qin's 400-meter final, it also ushered in the second most promising field event - the women's shot put final.

In the women's shot put qualifying round that started at 9:05 a.m., Jiang Limin, a female athlete led by Wang Shouyang, successfully won the final place with a score of 15.04 meters in Group B.

The difference between the time of the final and the time of the men's 400m is less than half an hour, at 17:30 in the afternoon.

"Our players probably don't have any experience in the rain, right?"

Ye Lidong looked at the stadium outside, turned his head to Zhou Bin and asked, in the morning, the stands were still full of people, but in the afternoon, when the rain was heavy, only about half of the spectators were willing to come.

"They are all young athletes, and they don't participate in many competitions, so they definitely don't have such competition experience." Zhou Bin shook his head, "But everyone is the same, competing in such an environment, it still depends on who can bite and have toughness!" ”

Ye Lidong nodded and glanced left and right, "What about Ye Qin?" ”

"I've started warming up on the indoor runway." Zhou Bin pointed to the location of the indoor check-in area, "In such weather, the warm-up time should be longer, and the body needs to be completely warmed up in order to be in good condition." ”

"Old Zhou, have you discovered a characteristic of Ye Qin?" Ye Lidong smiled with satisfaction, "He has to be more stable than others, and he will do many things without being said." ”

"I guess I've endured a lot of hardships since I was a child." Zhou Bin recalled a little, he had read Ye Qin's information, and he had also had a brief contact with Nie Fangping.

Ye Qin was orphaned since he was a child, he grew up with his grandparents, and although he had never seen the growth environment, he could imagine it. When you have people around you to take care of you, you may still show your fragile side, but in such a strange environment, the tenacity and stubbornness hidden in your bones seem to emerge naturally.

He is also a veteran track and field coach, and has experienced the glorious era of women's long-distance running in the 90s, although a group of people at that time had all kinds of criticism, but the tenacity of the character is really beyond words, can withstand the pressure, and can grit his teeth to withstand any difficulties.

The growth of a top athlete is actually this, limited by conditions and environment, may face many competitions in the initial stage of stage will have stage fright, but the stubbornness in the bones can support them and come out step by step.

There are 16 players in the delegation this time, and both of them have carefully observed. The most stable and calm mentality is Ye Qin, this is still the case that he does not have his own coach by his side, it seems that this kid is really on the field except for being more restrained in life, and there is no hesitation or fear at all.

is like a discus thrower in the same bedroom as Ye Qin, and his coach Wang Shouyang follows, but the two of them have a few private conversations with him, and they can find the indelible tension in his heart.

This kind of thing is also strange, in life Ye Qin is much more restrained than other contestants, less talkative, and a little introverted, he once saw Ye Qin playing in front of the sensor faucet for a while in the bathroom, which is in line with the kind of low-level teenagers they have always understood. But on the field, on his own stage, the brilliance that burst out at once was very dazzling.

It was like the world was a giant monster, and although the boy was standing there a little timidly, he was taking steps and exploring cautiously, never looking back!

Probably, there is no way back!
