At night, the lights of the Karozecchini Olympic Stadium are as bright as day.

In Grosseto, as in many parts of Europe, many supermarkets are closed by five or six o'clock in the afternoon, and there are not too many bars at night.

However, tonight's game of the World Youth Championships has gathered the attention and focus of many people in the city, and the noise of tens of thousands of people can be faintly heard even before entering the stadium.

"At this point, don't think about anything, just give it your all! Watch your own pace, don't get carried away by others, go for it! ”

Next to the warm-up track in the check-in area, Nie Fangping looked at Ye Qin, who had already completed the warm-up, his face was as calm as water, this was the highest-level competition he took Ye Qin to participate in, and it was also the most important final.

At this time, he was somewhat uneasy in his heart, but in front of Ye Qin, especially before Ye Qin was about to participate in the competition, Nie Fangping never showed his emotions.

"Come on!" Standing on the side, Zhou Bin smiled, and also gave Ye Qin an encouraging look.

The competition is coming, he didn't say any more words of comfort and encouragement, last year's World Junior Championships, Ye Qin was alone, and he also made some pre-game adjustments for Ye Qin, and now Ye Qin's head coach Nie Fangping is here, so naturally he doesn't need to talk more.

As the team leader, it doesn't really matter if he is not here, but Ye Qin is a player he is optimistic about, and there are few players who can produce results in the men's sprint event, which deserves his special attention.

"Coach, Coach Zhou, then I'm on the field!"

Ye Qin shook his body lightly on the spot, the warm-up at night did not last too long, he had already run two races during the day today, and his body had been fully mobilized regardless of whether it was a race or a warm-up.

He returned to the station with a muscle massage and an hour or two of rest, at which point he felt good and did not feel tired after two games.

This is also the subjective feeling of the athlete's self, although the grasp of their physical state will not reach the most subtle level, but basically people are basically the same, their current mental state, what kind of situation they are in, probably still have a bottom in their hearts.

Watching Ye Qin follow the staff into the roll call and check-in procedures, Nie Fangping and Zhou Bin left the check-in area and went directly to the side of the coach and media staff in the lower left of the stands, waiting for the athletes to start the game after they came out.

The protagonists of track and field competitions are athletes, and the role of coaches in the game is basically not as on-the-spot guidance as ball games.

Ye Qin stood in the middle of the team, and every time he played in the final, he could feel that the atmosphere was rather dull.

Most of the contestants are basically expressionless, emotionally depressed, making final psychological adjustments, and occasionally hearing a low snort or two.

Ye Qin looked at the other players in front and behind, and he could clearly notice that he was relatively short in height among the eight players. There is not much difference, he is now 1.83 meters, but most of the other competitors are a few centimeters taller than him.

The height of the athletes in the men's 400-meter event is generally slightly taller than the men's 1200-meter athletes, which is determined by the selection of athletes. Taller competitors with large strides may be slightly slower in starting acceleration and starting reflexes, and may not have much of an advantage in the 100-meter competition. At 400 meters, this is not a disadvantage, but just right.

"All the participating athletes, please enter the arena in turn!" At the front of the team, a young staff member with a number plate began to lead the eight contestants into the arena after receiving the notice.

As soon as you enter the arena, you will be greeted by a wave of heat and noise.

Although it is an outdoor venue, the atmosphere of the competition created by 10,000 people in the stands on the sidelines can still make the hearts of all the participating athletes twitch suddenly.

The lights are bright, and the view suddenly widens.

At this time, Ye Qin also felt a trembling feeling in his heart.

Excited, excited, excited, the muscles of the body seemed to tense slightly for a moment.

This is not directly related to his mentality, it is purely the emotion of subconsciously being infected by the atmosphere of the scene!

Tens of thousands of pairs of eyes will look at you, stare at you, your every move, every little movement, a little expression on your face will be clearly seen.

He has played several games in the past few days at the Caro Zechini Olympic Stadium, and he is no stranger, one could even say quite familiar, but at the moment, there is still a completely different feeling.

It's the final!

After the eight athletes appeared on the track and field, the big screen hanging in the middle of the stadium played the competition information of the men's 400m runners at the same time:

First Lane, Saidar Tamak, Turkey;

second, Valentin Kruyalakov, Russia;

the third, Yechin, China;

Fourth Way, Lawne-Merritt, USA;

fifth, Abu Bakr al-Ali, Sultan;

Sixth lane, Obakken-Gvewa, Botswana;

Seventh lane, Sean Willow, Australia;

Eighth Way, Keith Sinnant, USA;

Ye Qin stood on the third pass, glanced at the player information on the big screen, and soon the text in the table box on the screen disappeared and switched to the picture of the players on the spot.

He turned his head slightly to glance at the first section, where a bald, stout photographer was pointing his camera at the first runner.

The sound of the stadium was duly sounded, in Italian and English, introducing the runners in each lane.

First, second, when he heard his name introduced in a somewhat strange accent on the radio, Ye Qin waved his hand to the audience in the stands at the right time, and at the same time, when the camera camera was aimed at him, he raised his right hand and shook it.

For a game of this level at the World Youth Championships, when it comes to the final, it will basically be broadcast on local TV stations, although Ye Qin doesn't know when he will have the opportunity to see it in China, but it does not prevent him from making his habitual movements in front of the camera before the game.

Similarly, when the camera is focused on the fourth American Raune Merritt, the other person touches the necklace around his neck, points to the sky, and moves his lips lightly, as if to say something.

On the sidelines, Zhou Bin looked at Nie Fangping, who had just sat down for less than two minutes, and stood up again, his hands behind his back kept changing various shapes, and chuckled, "Coach Nie, take it easy, Ye Qin should still have a great hope of winning a medal!" ”

Fang Cai looked at Nie Fangping's calm appearance in the check-in area, he really thought that Nie Fangping's mentality was completely unaffected, at this time, it seemed that the other party was the same as himself, and his heart was also in the air.

Nie Fangping bowed slightly, answering Zhou Bin's words, but his eyes were still fixed on the starting line.

Zhou Bin is the leader of the Chinese team at the World Youth Championships, and the focus is basically on Ye Qin's ranking, and he can win medals and even win the championship.

But Nie Fangping didn't think about winning the championship and medals for the result of this game, he could get the best, and there was no pity if he couldn't get it.

His mind at this time is completely focused on the other aspect, the Athens Olympics are less than a month away, and this is almost the last men's 400m race that Ye Qin participated in before the Olympics, and the results of this race are very important.
