"Do you see something?"

At about 10 o'clock in the morning, after the men's 200-meter preliminaries, Ye Qin and Nie Fangping got up from the stands and left.

"The Italian player in the fourth group of the preliminaries is very explosive and runs very lightly. Coach, is that athlete really a long jump athlete? ”

Ye Qin frowned slightly, in the preliminaries, in the first group of preliminaries, he and British player Julian Thomas both ran 21 seconds away, and in the later preliminaries, the fourth group, the fifth group, and the sixth group of the preliminaries, there were also four people who ran into 21 seconds.

Among them, the player in the fourth group of the preliminaries, Italy's Andrew Howe, ran a time of 20.86 seconds, surpassing Ye Qin to win the first place in the preliminaries, and Ye Qin obviously found that the opponent seemed to be in a particularly amazing state because of the home game, with a strong start and an easy run, which felt a bit like Jamaica's Usher Bot he saw last year.

And the first player in the 200-meter preliminaries, the main event turned out to be the long jump.

"The opponent's main event is indeed the long jump, and in yesterday's long jump he won the championship with a best score of 8.11m in the fifth jump."

Nie Fangping replied with a slight bow, the long jump can go up to 8 meters, the explosiveness is definitely not bad, and they can participate in the men's 100-meter competition, as long as they have training, on a stage like the World Youth Championships, it is possible to enter the final or even compete for medals.

However, the men's 100-meter final and the field long jump final were both yesterday on July 14, and the opponent did not participate in the men's 100-meter but participated in the men's 200-meter, probably because the two competitions were in one day, in order to maintain the best personal condition, he gave up the 100-meter and chose the 200-meter event today.

Andrew Howe, an Italian born in '85 and only 19 years old this year, finished third in the long jump at the 2001 World Junior Championships and first in the men's 4×100m relay at the 2002 World Junior Championships, when Italy finished fifth.

In the 2002 European competition, the men's 110m hurdles ran 13.59 seconds, and the best time in the triple jump was 16.27m. It can be said that he is a very well-rounded athlete who has performed very well in various events in track and field.

Generally, track and field athletes will have more or less concurrent events, such as Ye Qin, who has both men's 200 meters and men's 400 meters, and other events may occasionally happen to practice, but the span is definitely not as big as Andrew Howe, and all events have been competed, and they can also get good results.

It is definitely not easy for the men's 200m to enter 21 seconds, and the opponent easily won the first place in the preliminaries with a time of 20.86 seconds in the preliminaries.

This is also a player worthy of vigilance after Nie Fangping watched the preliminaries with Ye Qin.

However, compared to the appearance of an important opponent, Nie Fangping looked at Ye Qin's thinking, which was even more gratifying.

It may be that he has entered high school at the beginning of the training time and has a strong comprehension ability, or Ye Qin's talent in the track and field field has played a role, at the beginning Ye Qin has been obsessed with remembering all the requirements of Nie Fangping's teaching, and strives to be able to fully implement them in training.

Gradually, Nie Fangping discovered that Ye Qin began to think on his own according to competitions and training, although the accumulation may be small now, but Ye Qin has gradually begun to think both in the competition and in his own life training.

This is what he is happy to see, athletes have to use their brains to think about progress on their own, coaches and others can only be assistants, and slowly in the end, many things are to be mastered by the athletes themselves.

Over the past year, he found that Ye Qin only paid attention to the results of his opponents at first, and gradually paid attention to analyzing the technical characteristics of his opponents, which was a growth.

What Nie Fangping is worried about now is actually this, Ye Qin will be in his third year of high school next semester, he will soon enter the university, and he will even be selected for the national team, he will not be able to take care of many things in the future, and with the rapid rise of Ye Qin's level, at this stage, Nie Fangping also knows his own problems.

In his coaching career, no athlete's talent can catch up with Ye Chin, and in the past two years, he has basically reached the top of what he can do, Ye Qin has gradually stepped into the top level in China, and needs more excellent coaches to guide him.

If it is an ordinary professional team coach, it is estimated that this will not be considered at this time, the relationship between athletes and coaches is basically bound, but Nie Fangping and Nie Fangping are not bound by this relationship.

He is almost retired age, and he doesn't need to be like other coaches, who need to hold on to an athlete who has finally brought out a result.

In Xiushui No. 2 Middle School, he is also the head coach of the track and field team, when Wen Tongshi invited him to coach in Xiushui No. 2 Middle School, the reason that moved him was not only Ye Qin, but also the feeling of giving more talented students in township middle schools one more choice.

Although in the past two years, his focus has basically been on Ye Qin, Nie Fangping has not forgotten this. It's just that Ye Chin's growth rate can enter a higher arena, and he provides more support without the support of a professional team.

Ye Qin didn't know Nie Fangping's thoughts about his future at this time, his mind was still thinking about the next competition, the men's 200-meter race into 21 seconds, the men's 400-meter race into 46 seconds, their technical characteristics, at this time, all flashed quickly in his mind.

Out of the field, Ye Qin and Nie Fangping returned to the hotel, and it was still the round-faced and slightly chubby female physiotherapist who accompanied the team this time to relax Ye Qin's muscles, and then had lunch and a lunch break, and at about 1:30 in the afternoon, they left the team station again and went to the arena.

The biggest advantage of Grosseto hosting the World Junior Championships is that the small city is not congested, the location is close to the stadium, and if it were not for the World Junior Championships, the city would be a slow-paced and leisurely tourist city.

It was not yet 14 o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at the Olympic Stadium in Carozeccini, and the afternoon games in the stadium had just begun, and the weather temperature was 312 degrees all day, which was a little hot, but it still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the audience.

Ye Qin first rested for a while in the shade outside the court, then saw that the time was almost up, and then began to warm up.

Athletes need to warm up before participating in competitions, but this warm-up is not a hasty way to avoid injury like in general training, but it takes a considerable amount of time.

Some athletes even have a warm-up time of more than an hour, of course, it is not a particularly energy-consuming warm-up method such as running and jumping desperately, but a very delicate way to move the body.

Especially in some heavyweight finals, from the acceleration of the start, the stretching of the ligaments of the body, the muscles, the state of the whole body and other aspects, professional athletes with conditions will even have a period of pre-competition physiotherapy massage before the competition, and then add the warm-up of the venue to make the body reach the best state.

There is a world of difference between the state of the same athlete when they are preparing for the competition and when they are resting or just doing some basic training.

Ye Qin had a relatively long warm-up because he participated in the game in the morning, and the warm-up time in the afternoon did not take too long, according to Nie Fangping's stuck time, and his body was slightly sweaty and hot before the game, so he stopped and prepared to check in and enter the game.

At 15:20 in the afternoon, the men's 200m semifinals officially began.

There are three groups in the men's 200m semi-finals, and Ye Qin is the second semi-final group, in this group, he did not meet the Italian player Andrew Howe, who was his focus in the preliminaries, but there are many strong opponents in the same group.

According to the results of the preliminaries, Ye Qin was no longer placed in lane 8 as in the preliminaries, but in lane 4.

The rules for qualifying for the men's 200m semi-finals are the same as those for the 400m, and he needs to finish in the top two to secure a place in the final.

In this group, Yesin also faced two strong opponents, South Africa's Leigh Julius in lane 3 and Trinidad and Tobago's Jamil James in lane 5.

The former was the runner-up in the men's 100m and the men's 200m champion at the 2003 Asian and African Games, while the latter crossed paths with Ye Qin in the men's 400m at the World Junior Championships last year, when he finished fifth with a time of 47.61 seconds. Among them, Jamil James, who competes in both the 400m and 200m like Yechin, only competed in the men's 200m at the World Junior Championships.

As soon as the race began, Yechin felt the pressure from the two black runners, starting from the corner, and the two left Yechin behind with their explosive power in the first half of the race, and Yechin did not catch up with Jamil James until 50 meters near the finish line, and only overtook Leigh Julius in the last 10 meters.

The trio were Yechin in 20.76 seconds, Leigh Julius in 20.84 seconds and Jamil James in 20.97 seconds.

Ye Qin successfully advanced to the finals.

The men's 200m final will be at 9pm on July 16, and Yechin will have the biggest challenge tonight, the men's 400m final.
