July 10th.

The 3rd World Junior Championships will be held from 9 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. in the morning and from 14:45 to 19:50 p.m. in the afternoon.

At 10 a.m., the weather at the Sherbrooke Stadium was slightly overcast, with a drizzle falling on people, quite a bit of damp cold. But in the middle of the stadium's field, the men's 5kg shot put competition is in full swing.

After young athletes from different countries with different skin colors but extremely strong bodies finished throwing the shot put, a tall and strong yellow boy wearing a red sportswear and a five-star red flag armband on his chest finally appeared on the field.

An area of the stands on the sidelines, after the tall boy appeared, there was an instant of enthusiastic cheers.

The sound of the "cheerleading" of the Chinese delegation passed through the noisy scene and reached the ears of the solemn young people in the arena, and the constantly waving red flags fluttered over the crowd, like a red flame swaying in the audience, which was particularly distinct!

After the first event of the women's 3000m race that opened yesterday, Jin Xue, the women's 3000m athlete who represented the Chinese team, set a personal best time in history with a time of 9:38.39.

However, although it was Jin Xue's personal best, among the 15 competitors, he only ranked eighth and missed the top three medals.

Today's Liu Feng's men's 5kg shot put competition is the most promising event for the Chinese delegation to win medals since the start of the competition.

Twenty-five young players from all over the world will compete for the top 12 spots in Group A and B at 10 a.m., and the final will begin at 7:20 p.m.

"Liu Feng, come on!"

In the Chinese delegation, I don't know whether it was the head of the group, Ye Lidong, the team leader, Zhou Bin, or any other corner, who suddenly shouted and cheered for Liu Feng in the middle of the venue.

The members of the other delegations were also at this time, cheering for Liu Feng at the same time.

"Come on!"

Ye Qin stood in the stands on the sidelines, and saw that Liu Feng nodded and said hello to everyone on the sidelines, shook his arms, picked up the shot put, walked to the position of the throwing circle, folded his hands in front of his mouth in the shape of a horn, and suddenly shouted.

Although Coach Wang Shouyang joked that Liu Feng and Wu Jiang should take more care of him when he was at the airport, Ye Qin and Liu Feng only talked a few times very often, and they were not particularly familiar.

We haven't been together for a long time, and it's only been a few days, so we can only be regarded as just acquaintances.

But for some reason, when Ye Qin saw Liu Feng on the field, he wanted to cheer for the other party from the bottom of his heart.

Especially when the head of the group, Ye Lidong, and the team leader Zhou Bin took others to act as cheerleaders for the players who had competitions, which made everyone unite closely.

In a foreign country, in more than 100 countries, among the more than 1,400 contestants, the Chinese delegation is only a little about 20 people, but its momentum is not weaker than that of other countries.

"19 meters!"

In the arena, Liu Feng threw for the first time and threw a distance of 19 meters.

The atmosphere of the Chinese delegation was even more high.

Even if he said to Ye Qin yesterday that he felt the huge pressure of the game, and it was also brought out by Coach Wang Shouyang, but Wu Jiang, who was afraid that Liu Feng, Jiang Minli and others would perform too well, was also red-faced at this moment, and he was the loudest one among everyone.

Ye Qin's hands clapped again and again, and his palms seemed to be a little red.

After Liu Feng threw 19 meters for the first time, he, like everyone else around him, suddenly stood up from his seat.

Everyone has noticed the results of several players before, in Group A, there have been several players who have thrown more than 19 meters, and according to the estimation of the team leader Zhou Bin, as long as Liu Feng can throw more than 18 meters, he will basically qualify for the finals in the afternoon.

At this moment, Ye Qin suddenly felt his heart pounding, it was a completely different feeling from the game he had played, the shot put competition didn't look exciting, but that kind of nervous mood, seeing his teammates successfully advance and have the opportunity to participate in the championship competition in the afternoon, he felt like his heart was filled with something for a while.

It seems to be pride and happiness, a feeling of pride and honor.

"Yechin, Yechin......"

Standing in the middle of the stands, Ye Qin's mind was still immersed in the joy of Liu Feng's successful promotion, and the excited team leader Zhou Bin suddenly turned his head and shouted at him, "Ye Qin, don't stand here, hurry up and follow me to eat something to replenish your strength, and warm up again, it will be your game in a while." ”

"Oh oh, good!" Ye Qin came back to his senses, hurriedly squeezed away the other team members next to him, and walked towards Zhou Bin.

"Ye Chin, come on!"

"Ye Chin, run well!"

"We're in the stands, don't be nervous, if you're nervous, just look at my position, the red flag is flying!"

In the short time when Ye Qin moved his body out of the stands, the other players and coaches came back to their senses, noticed him, and smiled at him kindly one by one.

The head of the regiment, Ye Lidong, patted Ye Qin's shoulder excitedly, "Let go and run, just show your best level, don't think about anything else!" ”

Looking at the smiles and eyes that were either excited or encouraging, Ye Qin nodded solemnly and followed Zhou Bin out of the stands.

"You take it easy, just like Liu Feng just now, Captain Ye and I don't have any requirements for rankings in this competition, and you don't have to put pressure on yourself!"

After coming out of the stands, Zhou Bin looked at Ye Qin and smiled to soothe Ye Qin's emotions.

Although Ye Lidong and Zhou Bin want to make results, they also know very well that these current players are still young people, and they often play abnormally when they are under pressure.

"Team Leader Zhou, I don't put any pressure on myself, I'm not nervous."

Ye Qin glanced at the many dark-skinned or blonde spectators or athletes around the stands, and shook his head slightly.

When he first arrived in Sherbrooke, he was impressed by the atmosphere of the team, and he was a little nervous.

But slowly, after a few days of adaptation training, I saw more foreigners of different skin tones, and ate a few meals with a strange taste, and I felt like that.

With the experience of one or two semesters of high school, Ye Qin has now gradually understood that the source of his uneasiness is not the competition or the arena, from participating in the Municipal Middle School Student Games to the Provincial Youth Athletics Championships, the arena and the competition are not too nervous for him.

What he was nervous and afraid of was not the competition, but the sudden confronting of strange people and the insecurity of a strange place.

The limited vision of his background and the mentality of having some inferiority complex make him often a little at a loss when he is in a strange place. And when he arrived at the arena, he felt that he was extraordinarily open, as if a fish had returned to the water.

It seems to be like this when I enter Xiushui No. 2 Middle School, this is the case when I go to Nanxiu City, and it is also like this when I go to Zuohai City.

He has never left Xiushui County, and he will always be a little uncomfortable when he arrives in a big city, but this kind of psychology is only aimed at the environment, and the feeling that makes him feel a little out of place psychologically. And when he went to the arena and asked him to compete, he didn't seem to be scared all along.

When Nie Fangping took him to Yanjing to participate in the trial test, even though it was the first time to go to Yanjing, he felt very relieved at that time, and some were just excited and excited.

And these days, this delegation of only about 20 people has gradually given him such a sense of security.

Although he is in a foreign country, all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation are arranged in an orderly manner, and there is no need for him to face or contact any people or things alone.

As for the race, just run!

"That's good, that's good!" Zhou Bin glanced at Ye Qin's expression, and he didn't know if he was hard-mouthed or really not stressed, raised his hand and looked at his watch, and smiled, "There are still a few hours, I'll take you to eat something first, then you take a rest, and then go to warm up, I will accompany you to check in first!" ”
