"Ye Chin, good job!"

After the men's 400-meter finish line, Zhou Bin, the leader of the World Junior Championships on the sidelines, had already run over and gave Ye Qin a big hug.

He was the leader of the delegation, but in this game in Yechin, he was present as a coach. The Sherbrooke Stadium is an open stadium, so he was not stopped after the game.

The time of 48.07 seconds was not much better than Ye Qin's test result at the Yanjing Athletics Management Center, but considering that it was a record at the time, and now he was in the arena of the World Junior Championships, Ye Qin could fully exert his strength and win the first place in the group, which was enough to make him excited.

At this time, in the men's sprint track event of the world-class large-scale track and field events, there are very few Chinese athletes who can meet the standards, and it is extremely rare to want to run the second semi-final or semi-final.

And Ye Qin has now successfully qualified for the semifinals, even if he misses the finals later, Zhou Bin feels that it is worth it.

"Thank you for your guidance!"

won the first group preliminaries, and Ye Qin was also a little excited.

There was also intermittent applause from the sidelines, although not much, but after all, others paid attention to him and applauded his wonderful performance in winning the group title in the end.

"What's wrong, what are you looking at?"

Zhou Bin, who looked a little excited, noticed that his gaze had been sweeping back and forth near the finish line as Ye Qin's gaze had been sweeping back and forth near the finish line, and asked a little strangely.

Ye Qin's gaze passed through the crowd and found the third American player he had won in the end.

At this time, the other party also looked over, his eyes were very calm, and he did not have any anger because Ye Qin finally broke out and robbed him of the first place in the group. After all, he also got a place in the group stage. It's just that he is also looking at Ye Qin, as if he is recognizing and noticing the rising Chinese player.

"The American player in the third lane is very strong!"

Although he didn't even remember the other party's name, Fang Cai's performance on the field made Ye Qin feel for the first time what kind of level the best athletes among his peers were.

This is a preliminaries, the opponent's start was very casual, and in the end he was overtaken by himself, and it seems that he didn't expect it at all.

is obviously reserved, such a high-level opponent, Ye Qin is the first time to encounter.

"Of course." Zhou Bin smiled, "The United States is a big country in track and field, and in the world championships, almost all of the men's 400m events are covered by them. It's not easy for you to advance to the semi-finals, but unfortunately, no reporter will come to interview you right away, otherwise you will show up in China. ”

"Reporter interview?" Ye Qin glanced at Zhou Bin with some confusion, and then glanced at many people on the side of the field who were holding cameras and hanging work cards, but they never thought about the interview that Zhou Bin said.

"It's still early! Let's go, you go get dressed and rest first! Zhou Bin gently patted Ye Qin's back, the attention of the World Junior Championships is not high enough, although there are many reporters on the sidelines, but most of them are foreign or local, and a preliminaries can't attract their attention at all.

And the domestic media, in the face of a competition like the World Junior Championships, did not send special reporters to follow.

Ye Qin nodded and followed Zhou Bin out of the arena, but the whole person seemed to be a little immersed in Fang Cai's game.

"I was a little slow in the first half of the race." Ye Qin silently thought about his performance in this competition.

This preliminaries, Ye Qin was running according to the rhythm of his previous training, and he has not experienced too many events in China, and in the Provincial Youth Track and Field Championships, his running style can already lead others.

But on the world stage, there is a clear deviation.

The 400-meter event is about the speed of the whole race, but if you are left behind too much in the first half, it is still a bit unsightly to sprint in the second half alone.

Leaving the track and field, Ye Qin rested in the backcourt, waited for the sweat on his body to dry, got dressed, and followed Zhou Bin back to the stands of the Chinese delegation.

The Chinese team, including the head of the Chinese team, Ye Lidong, coach Wang Shouyang, and team doctor Jiang Shaofen, as well as other games and athletes who did not play, all came up to congratulate Ye Qin.

After all, in the men's sprint sprint event, it is a very good result to be able to qualify for the second gunshot in a world-class competition.

"Ye Qin, you work harder, the 400-meter run enters the final, and the 200-meter start the day after tomorrow, you also successfully advance to the finals, so that by the time the 13th, we will both have competitions!"

Wu Jiang, who was in the same bedroom, saw Ye Qin coming over, put his thick arm on his shoulder, and said with a smile.

On July 13th, there were not many players in the Chinese delegation who participated in the competition, although the competition was only three or four days, but the whole team came only fifteen or sixteen, and the competition was mainly concentrated in these two days.

"Well, I want to be in the final too, and the 200m may be more difficult than the 400m." Ye Qin knew that Wu Jiang was just joking, but he answered very seriously.

For the men's 400m race, the preliminaries are on July 10, the semi-finals are on July 11, and the final is on July 12.

If he can make it to the 400m final, on July 12, the men's 200m heats will also begin.

The men's 200m race is also a three-shot race, with the preliminaries starting at 10:05 a.m. on July 12, the semi-finals at 10:45 a.m. on July 13, and the final at 15:05 p.m. on July 13.

For Ye Qin, the most stressful time was on July 12, when there were not only 200m heats but also 400m finals. Of course, the premise is that he can advance to the 400m semi-finals tomorrow and get the last eight spots in the 400m final.

Long before coming to Sherbrooke, just in the few days when he was training at the field management center, Nie Fangping had roughly analyzed with him.

He should be the most outstanding handful of his peers in China now, but in world-class competitions, it is nothing, after all, young talented athletes abound all over the world.

European and American athletes have an advantage in sprinting, especially some black athletes, who almost dominate the sprint event, and it is very difficult to match them. And at this age, many black and white athletes are more mature, and many talented athletes have reached the level of world-class adult athletes.

In other words, the concept is that although the athletes who come to the World Junior Championships are generally young, in the sprint event, some of the athletes have surpassed the best level in China.

came to participate in the World Junior Championships, Nie Fangping did not ask Ye Qin for any results, and the Chinese team did not put any pressure on Ye Qin, but Ye Qin knew that Nie Fangping's general outlook for his results was to be able to advance to the semifinals, of course, it was best to be able to advance to the finals.

In the men's 400m to advance to the semifinals, whether it is the Chinese team or Nie Fangping, who is still waiting in Yanjing, Ye Qin can be regarded as having completed the task. It was the first time to participate in the World Junior Championships, and in the men's sprint track event, it was enough to have such a performance.

On the field, the remaining three groups of the men's 400-meter race were still going on, and soon Ye Qin also knew the results of all the competitors in the men's 400-meter six preliminaries.

Among them, there are three players who have better results than him in the preliminaries, namely the Sudanese player in the first group of the preliminaries 47.50 seconds, the Dominican player in the second group of the preliminaries 47.84 seconds, and the Namibian player in the fifth group of the preliminaries 47.57 seconds, all three of them scored 48 seconds.

There are also seven or eight competitors between 48 and 49 seconds, who will be his main opponents in the semi-finals.

Of course, there are many experienced players who have reservations in the preliminaries, such as the American he met in the group stage, with whom Ye Qin will compete for a place in the finals.
