The men's 200m semi-finals start at 10:45 a.m., and there are three rounds of semi-finals at 10:45, 10:52 and 10:59 respectively, and the rules for advancing to the final are the same as in the previous races. The top two teams in the group advance directly to the final, and then the two best players from the remaining players advance to the final.

Ye Qin is the second group of the semi-finals, each group has about 7 minutes, from the pre-match preparation to the final departure statistical results, the time is very sufficient.

By the time Ye Qin and the other runners entered the field, the first group of men's 200m semi-finals had already ended, and the athletes had already left the field or ran to the stands to watch the next race.

This morning's weather is still a bit gloomy and drizzly, but not like yesterday's light rain, the weather is still a little wet and cold.

Standing on the runway, the plastic runway under your feet is a little damp, because of the rain for days, looking at the runway in the distance is still a little reflective. If you look up, you can see the lush vegetation and the spectators in the umbrellas and raincoats in the stands on one side.

Although it was still not full, the shouts and cheers were endless.

It's the last day of the World Junior Championships, and it's Sunday, and many of the semi-finals and finals will be completed today, so compared to yesterday afternoon's rains, the crowds are still attracting more spectators.

At this time, on the big screen at the scene, the information of the second group of the men's 200m semifinals was also announced on the big screen.

First Lane, Graeme-Ritter, Australia;

second lane, Phillips-Tannick, Austria;

Third Lane, Jacobi-Mitchell, Bahamas;

Fourth Way, Jamal Ken, UK;

Fifth Dao, Yechin, China;

lane six, Lionel Larry, American;

Seventh Course, Fujimitsuken, Japan;

Eighth Lane, Brandt-Frerick, Canada;

On the other side, Ye Lidong had already returned to the stands, his brows were slightly locked, watching the eight players appear on the track, his fingers kept tapping on his knees, his expression was quite solemn, and he was not as relaxed as when he talked to Ye Qin just now.

After the eight players appeared, he couldn't help but whisper to Zhou Bin next to him: "Ye Qin, I'm afraid it's not easy to enter the finals, right?!" ”

As the head of the delegation, it was a surprise that Ye Chin was able to win a card in the 400 meters, but in the current situation, it is clear that Ye Chin may also have a good result in the 200 meters.

"Well, the strength is very strong, after all, 200 meters is not like 400 meters, the level is higher, and many of them are sprint seedlings that countries are very optimistic about."

Zhou Bin nodded, his face was also a little heavy, in the field of track competition, the shorter the distance, the more challenges he faced, and the more powerful the players. This can also be seen from the number of participants in this World Junior Championships, there are only six groups of athletes in the 400-meter preliminaries, while in the 200-meter, there are 7 groups, and in the 100-meter, it reaches 9 groups.

In the current world of athletics, in the field of men's middle-distance running, it is still possible to see whites or yellows participating, and luckily there are some whites and yellows who can run into the semifinals and finals, and even win medals.

But when it comes to the sprint, starting from 400 meters, to 200 meters or even 100 meters, at present, it is almost completely monopolized by black athletes, and often a 200-meter or 100-meter final may be all black athletes at first glance.

"Yechin's preliminaries were 21.56 seconds, right? If this result is placed in the semi-finals, will it be able to enter the finals? Ye Lidong's eyes swept around the arena, exhaled lightly, and asked again.

"There are chances, but it's hard to say that young players are likely to do better in the heats and semi-finals than in the final."

Zhou Bin thought about it and replied, he is a professional coach and knows some data about the game. In the last World Junior Championships, the men's 200m reached the final with a time of 21.49 seconds.

If calculated according to this result, even if Ye Qin ran a preliminaries in the semifinals with a score of 21.56 seconds, he would still be in danger.

Of course, this is also a reference value, specifically, we still have to wait for the results of each group to come out after the competition, but judging from the results of the semi-finals of the first group, the top two achieved 20.96 seconds and 21.27 seconds respectively, and even the third place also had 21.42 seconds.

In the preliminaries, Yechin was ranked sixth, and if he wants to hold his position in the final, there is a chance, but it is also very dangerous.

"However, I still have confidence in Ye Qin." Zhou Bin paused again, and then said, "Judging from the performance of the 400-meter race, Ye Qin's results in the semi-finals and finals should probably be better, and he can withstand the pressure." ”

In yesterday's 400-meter final final, Ye Qin almost lost his strength after running, which is enough to see that the further back and the more the big field, the more Ye Qin can withstand and play extraordinarily.

The arena is like a battlefield, and when it comes to a certain level of competition, in addition to the level of personal strength, the psychological state is also a very important point. Some players do not show their performance in training, but when it comes to the critical moment of the competition, they can often withstand the pressure and make a splash. Some players usually have explosive training results, but their legs are weak at critical moments, and they often can't fully exert their full strength, let alone play extraordinarily.

Ye Qin's 400 meters passed the national athlete level, and according to his technical characteristics, the 200 meters should be close to or able to reach the national athlete level, or even better. His main weakness is still the first half, the core strength is not enough, the acceleration is too slow, and the absolute speed is actually good. ”

The 200-meter run is similar to the 100-meter run, that is, the starting acceleration should be fast, and the maximum speed should be rushed forward. Pay attention to explosiveness and absolute speed, but because of the distance, in the second half, that is, 80 to 50 meters from the finish line, the speed retention ability is strong enough, and it can still have a certain advantage.

Like the current men's 200m world record holder "Forrest Gump", his 100m best has not yet entered 10 seconds, far from the top, but in the 200m, his time reached an astonishing 19.32 seconds, which is the role of the strong speed maintenance ability in the second half of the race.

Zhou Bin recalled Ye Qin's 400-meter final results, as well as the technical characteristics of Ye Qin during the previous test, 47.23 seconds has exceeded the national athlete level standard of 47.60 seconds (note), Ye Qin is weak in the first half, but the absolute speed is actually okay, the key is that his speed in the second half of the speed is strong, 200 meters can also exceed the national athlete standard like 400 meters, but it is still very promising to approach or reach the national athlete level of 21 seconds 35.

And if he can reach the level of a national athlete, it is not a big problem to enter the finals, of course, with his observation, it is not realistic for Ye Qin to score 21 seconds now.

"Look at it, I don't think Ye Qin, this kid himself, probably doesn't know how fast he can run! There is too little historical data to back it up. ”

Listening to Zhou Bin talk about Ye Qin's mentality in the face of the competition, as well as taking the 400-meter result as an example, Ye Lidong laughed, and his face showed a little relief. When the head of the team is the team leader, it is a special joy to be able to find good athletes and achieve good results.

But somewhat helplessly, Ye Qin's coach Nie Fangping did not follow, he and Zhou Bin only had Ye Qin's results in the Nanxiu City Middle School Games, the Haixi Provincial Youth Track and Field Championships, and the track and field test at the Athletics Management Center. The others are all blank, and they are not particularly bottomed out of what level Yechin can reach in 200 meters.

While the two were communicating in a low voice, suddenly the other members of the Chinese team around them suddenly shouted very enthusiastically.

Liu Feng, Jiang Minli, and some other young players, who were sitting not far from Ye Lidong and Zhou Bin, all stood up, folded their hands into a horn, and shouted vigorously, "Ye Qin, come on!" ”。

"What's going on?"

The two were a little confused by the sudden enthusiasm of the delegation, and looked at the eyes of others, only to see that on the field, Ye Qin was facing away from everyone, twisting his left hand behind him and pointing to his "100" number plate, raising his right hand high and waving it gently.

The young players of the Chinese team in the stands were immediately attracted by his action, clapped and shouted loudly.

"What is this kid doing?" The two looked at Ye Qin in the field, a little confused.
