20:30 p.m.

In the Louis Pug Gymnasium, the last race of the first day of the World Indoor Championships - the men's 60m final.

As the finale of today's game, many spectators in the stadium are waiting for and enjoying the speed duel of this indoor competition.

Since the indoor 200m was abolished in '04, the 60m has risen to become the most popular event in the sprint event.

In the stands of the 6,500 spectators in the stadium, the spectators were a little anxious at this time, and after waiting for a long time, they finally came to the men's 60-meter short-distance speed showdown, and many people's spirits were lifted.

Although it is not the men's 100m world trapeze showdown in the outdoor race, the indoor 60m is also a trapeze battle for top sprinters, and the attraction and attention are also very high.

And this year's men's 60m final, also attracted last year's World Championships men's 100m and 200m double champions, last year's IAAF Golden League, Ye Qin won three Golden League championships in Europe, including the victory over Asafavir, such an influence still makes many track and field fans who will come to see the track and field competition to look forward to it.

"What kind of results will Ye Qin run in the final?!"

As the world champion of the men's 100m and 200m, in this year's 60m event, the preliminaries and semifinals have shown the strength to crush other athletes, but what kind of performance will be performed in the final is still very exciting.

"Yangyu, you and Dongpeng are also here?"

In a corner of the stands, Yuan Guohua was paying attention to the movements in the arena, waiting for the upcoming finals, and suddenly noticed two familiar figures sitting next to Coach Sun Chaosheng on the side.

"Coach Yuan." Liu Yangyu and Shi Dongpeng greeted Yuan Guohua loudly.

"How's it going, it's okay to prepare, right?" Yuan Guohua asked with a smile, and then pointed to Sun Chaosheng beside him, "You guys are sitting on the sidelines with me watching the game today, and you don't pay attention to you." ”

"It's still good, the climate here is good, it's much warmer than a lot of winter games."

Liu Yangyu replied with a smile that he and Shi Dongpeng were in another indoor training ground during the day, and they had been warming up and preparing for the game before the game, so they did not come to the arena here to watch the game.

But in the evening, the training stopped, so naturally I ran over to see Ye Qin's performance in the men's 60m final this year.

"I also did a good job in the warm-up training with Oishi today." Saying that, Liu Yangyu looked at Sun Chaosheng again and said with a smile.

Coach Sun Chaosheng was not on the side of the two this afternoon, but watched the game here, this is not a big problem, the athletes have reached their level, in fact, there is no coach before the game, and the training and warm-up should be almost the same.

In many cases, the biggest effect of the pre-competition coach is to provide psychological comfort to the athletes, so that the athletes can feel that they are not alone and have psychological dependence.

This kind of psychological support is not a lonely fight, which is very useful for many athletes who have just debuted and stood on the international stage, of course, with the growth of athletes and familiarity with all aspects, many games do not need to be watched by the head coach all the time.

"When I saw Ye Qin, I thought I should let it go." Sun Chaosheng said and glanced at Liu Yangyu, "In the past few years, I have been with you in the small competitions, but I feel that you can actually do a good job yourself." ”

Saying that, Sun Chaosheng snorted towards the arena again, "Look at Ye Qin, he hasn't actually had a coach by his side in the past two years, but there is no problem, but in terms of mentality, it can make us feel that we have been further exercised." ”

"Coach, you don't want to leave me, do you?" Liu Yangyu smiled beside him, his face was slightly unnatural.

His entire athletic career has been completely guided by Coach Sun to stand up step by step, basically, it can be said that in the past few years, Master has never been absent from the competitions he has participated in. From the pre-match warm-up to the post-match report or something, it can be said that all aspects protected him.

On the contrary, he is not as savage as Ye Qin, he entered the national team and practiced with Yu Weili for a period of time, and then Randy Hunter, and then Coach Yuan Guohua.

In this respect, Ye Chin is harder and farther than him.

Sun Chaosheng is obviously aware of this problem, and before the start of this year's Indoor World Championships, he simply did not do the same as before, stretching Liu Yangyu and cooperating with him to do all kinds of meticulous training.

Instead, let go of the side and let him face these things on his own.

Over the years, he has protected Liu Yangyu too well, to a certain extent, it has made Liu Yangyu have an invisible sense of dependence on him, it seems that if he is not there, he will lose his backbone and don't know how to compete.

This is very unfavorable to Liu Yangyu's mentality, and he hopes to take advantage of this indoor World Championships to give Liu Yangyu a little space to face himself.

Liu Yangyu obviously understood this, and did not continue to say more on this topic.

In his sports career in the past few years, coaching is indeed a very important support for him. As far as many of the top athletes he observes, there is actually no one like him, who can always get guidance and encouragement from his coach.

Especially after an athlete becomes famous, many times it is impossible for a coach to follow the athlete everywhere and anytime, to compete together or something, and this process will need to be faced by himself sooner or later.

"Yangyu, how much do you say Ye Qin can run this time, will he break Morris Green's world record?"

Just as Liu Yangyu's thoughts were rolling, Shi Dongpeng next to him gently pushed him with his elbow and asked with a smile.

"It's not that easy." Liu Yangyu shook his head, and then said with some uncertainty, "Ye Qin used to be good at the second half, but now I heard that he has improved a lot in starting and accelerating, and you have seen it too, and now I feel really strong." ”

"Hey, if the men's 100m record is not broken, but the 60m world record is broken, it will be really exciting." Shi Dongpeng said with a smile that Ye Qin is considered one of the few athletes who has the ability to break the world record in Asafavir, and many people are looking forward to the day when he can do it in the men's 100m.

But now if you haven't done 100 meters, and suddenly you have done 60 meters, it's really exciting.

That being said, both men know that breaking the 60m world record will not be easy, and it will be even more difficult than the men's 100m world record.

The current men's 60m world record was set by American sprinter Maurice Green, who ran 6.39 seconds twice on March 2, 1998 in Madrid, Spain, and on March 3, 2001 in Atlanta. At the same time, Morris Green is currently the only athlete in the world to run 6.40 seconds in the 60 meters.

At this time in the track and field world, the men's 100m 9.79 world record also created by Morris Green has been broken by Asafavir many times, raising the 100-meter world record to 9.74 seconds, but the 60-meter world record has never been shaken.

Ye Qin ran 6.50 seconds and 6.47 seconds in the preliminaries and semi-finals, which is one of the best in the men's 60m in recent years, but it is still some way from the men's 60m world record set by Morris Green.
