"Coach, what is the national youth record in the men's 200m?"

When he came out of the mixed channel area, Ye Qin saw Nie Fangping who was already waiting here at a glance, and the first words he said also made Nie Fangping a little surprised.

"Why did you suddenly remember to ask about the national young men's 200m record?" Nie Fangping threw a bottle of water prepared in advance and asked with a smile.

He watched Ye Qin's performance in the track and field just now, he didn't bother, and he didn't say much about how Ye Qin was going to celebrate or anything before the game, it was the moment of honor after Ye Qin won the championship, and naturally it was also Ye Qin's true feelings after winning the game.

He was Ye Chin's coach, and he was pleased with Ye Chin's performance and happy to see Ye Qin enjoy that moment of glory.

"I just wanted to ask." Ye Qin shook his head, "Look at how much worse I am?" ”

If he breaks the national record or the national youth record, he may feel more at ease when taking pictures, but just breaking the national junior record, which makes him feel a little uncomfortable.

It is the joy of just winning the championship that gradually fades a little bit as time goes by, but the things recorded come to mind from time to time.

"The national junior men's 200m record is 20.86 seconds, set by Yang Yao at the National Youth Athletics Championships in 2000."

Nie Fangping saw that Ye Qin was serious, then paused slightly, seemed to recall for a while, and then said to Ye Qin, "Your 20.93 seconds are not far from this result, don't be too anxious, you should be able to break this record in the next year or two." When Yang Yao set this record, he was already nineteen years old, and if you reach his age, you will definitely be able to run better than this. ”

Yang Yao was born in 1981, and Ye Qin was born in 1987, according to age, Ye Qin is only more than 16 years old this year, 17 years old, with Ye Qin's growth, in Nie Fangping's view, with Ye Qin's normal growth trajectory, breaking the national young men's 200-meter record and 400-meter record is almost a sure thing.

Moreover, Nie Fangping has never asked Ye Qin with various domestic records and the like, he originally hoped that Ye Qin could focus on the growth of his own performance. If you set your sights on the national youth record, it is better to directly aim for the national record, and even if it is a national record, in Nie Fangping's opinion, it is a bit petty.

At Ye Qin's age, when he was far from seeing the apex of talent, he felt that it was better not to give specific rules and regulations to restrict, lest one day when he reached this result, the athlete suddenly found that his goal had been achieved and his fame and fortune were gone, and his mood suddenly relaxed, and he lost the motivation to continue moving forward.

After all, the national record is only 20.58 seconds, but the Asian record is 20.03 seconds set by the Japanese in June this year, and it is even further away from the world record of 19.32 seconds.

"20.86 seconds!" Ye Qin lowered his head and silently read the men's 200-meter National Youth Competition record, which was indeed about the same as the 200-meter final result of 20.93 seconds he had just run.

Think about the black Jamaican teenager in the World Junior Championships, the World Junior Championship record of 20.40 seconds, the opponent is less than a year older than him, that is the goal he wants to catch up and surpass.

However, Ye Qin still asked Nie Fangping with some curiosity: "What about Yang Yao of this youth record, is he still competing?" ”

Counting the time, the other party set a national youth record in 2000, and this year is just 223 years old, which is the pinnacle of his personal sports career, and if he had not retired, he should have achieved better results.

"Yang Yao......" Nie Fangping's voice dragged on a little, and after thinking about it, he said, "After I left the sports school, I didn't know much about it, but he should have won the second or third place in the Asian Games last year, he is the best 200-meter athlete in China at present, and you are not far from them, but don't be proud, keep working hard, you can still have a long way to go." ”

After leaving the sports system, Nie Fangping is no longer as well-informed about domestic track and field news as before, and he thought about Yang Yao as a player mentioned by Ye Qin for a while, and he remembered that the other party seemed to run well in the Asian Games last year. The current level of men's 200m and 400m in China has improved since the beginning of the nineties to the beginning of the millennium, but this improvement is actually very limited.

In the 1996 Jinling National Track and Field Championships, Han Chaoming set a national men's 200-meter record of 20.54 seconds, Zhou Wei set a men's 100-meter national record of 10.17 seconds at the National Track and Field Grand Prix in 1998, and Xu Zhiyu set a men's 400-meter national record of 45.25 seconds in the 2001 East Asian Games.

On the other hand, other Asian countries, especially Japan, have repeatedly broken through the men's sprint events in the 90s, with a 10-second Asian record, a 200-meter Asian record of 20.03 seconds, and a domestic men's sprint event, which is in the declining stage.

Ye Qin nodded, hearing this, he probably understood the general situation in his heart, he is still a certain gap from the best sprinter in China now, but this gap is not big.

If Ye Qin hadn't participated in the World Junior Championships, he might have been complacent about his current results, and for his age, being able to step into the ranks of almost the best sprinters in China, no matter who he was, his mood would inevitably be a little inflated.

Having just won the men's 200m national championship at the City Games, Ye Qin's performance on the field was almost the same as that of other athletes, but after calming down a little, he realized that his achievement was really nothing.

If he hadn't participated in the World Junior Championships, hadn't seen the mountains, and hadn't seen a talented young athlete who ran 200 meters and was pulled away by someone more than ten meters away, Ye Qin probably wouldn't have any other ideas.

But he went to participate in the World Junior Championships, and after seeing what kind of level others can run, he realized that he was still far from others.

Just like He Jun, who greeted him in the passage just now, when he won the National Youth Track and Field Championships at the age of sixteen or seventeen, he was so beautiful, but when he went abroad to participate in the first World Junior Championships, he couldn't even enter the finals.

That huge gap can affect a person's mentality for future competitions.

This is also the reason why Nie Fangping did everything possible to let Ye Qin participate in the World Junior Championships to see the world, and the young man's vision should be opened, not limited to the world in front of him.

"Okay, hurry up and put on your clothes, our trip to the City Games is over, and we can go to the stand to watch the finals later."

Seeing that Ye Qin didn't seem to have any doubts, Nie Fangping threw Ye Qin's duffel bag to Ye Qin and reminded him to put on his coat and trousers, the weather in Xingcheng at the end of October was still relatively mild, but the night was already somewhat cool.

"Are there any other games to watch?"

Ye Qin took out his coat from the inside of the duffel bag, put it on his body, and asked Nie Fangping.

"In the men's 110m hurdles, there will be a bronze medalist at the World Championships in tonight's race, and you can see that the start of the sprinters is the same, and many of the athletes who do both events start in the way of hurdles."

"Hurdles?" Ye Qin put his clothes on his body, his eyes showed a little doubt, it was the first time he had heard Nie Fangping talk about this.

"It's hurdles." Nie Fangping nodded, and continued, "The starting requirements for the men's 110-meter hurdles are higher than those of the 100-meter and 200-meter hurdles, and the number of steps and power points must be counted, we can observe it, and in two years, when you go to college, you will have to learn to use your own brain to observe and analyze your own situation in the future training." ”

"Okay!"

Ye Qin didn't expect Nie Fangping to mention what happened two years later, but since Nie Fangping said so, he was also interested in observing.

After getting dressed, he jumped lightly on the spot, and suddenly glanced at Nie Fangping's neck.

Nie Fangping raised his eyebrows, "Look at what, I have dirty things on my face?" ”

Ye Qin shook his head and smiled, suddenly reached out and gently drew a circle on Nie Fangping's chest, and then took a step back, as if he was looking left and right at what was on Nie Fangping's chest, "I'm going to see if it looks good when the gold medal is hung up." ”

"What?" Nie Fangping didn't seem to understand what Ye Qin was saying for a while.

Ye Qin was already smiling and jumping away at this time, and his voice came back, "Coach, national champion!" ”

Nie Fangping was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, looked at Ye Qin's back, and scolded lightly, "Stinky boy!" ”

But a smile appeared on his face, and he followed.
