July 12th.

Sherbrooke, which had been gloomy for several days, finally began to drizzle.

In the check-in area, McNeill, the coach of the Jamaican youth team, had a gloomy face compared to today's weather, and his eyes seemed to be on fire, staring at the tall black boy who had just finished warming up.

"Yusse, I don't care about your unauthorized withdrawal yesterday, but, but in this 200-meter race, I will never allow you to make any mistakes. You know what this game means to you, countless Jamaicans are watching you, you can't afford to make a mistake! ”

"Yes, coach, I'm going to win the championship!"

The tall black boy gasped slightly, the weather was a little cold today, and his several groups of warm-ups were relatively sufficient, and after hearing McNeil's roar, he nodded busily.

"If only you understood!" McNeill moved his strong body and casually pointed to the other runners who were warming up from afar, "You are Jamaica's most favored sprinter, the 2002 World Junior Championships champion, and no one will be your opponent on this World Junior Championship stage, so you must not make mistakes." If you don't win the championship, I'll even count your 400m retirement account. ”

"Don't worry, Coach! The 200m is my favourite and I will definitely be the champion! ”

"Hmph, let's talk about it when you're done! Yusse Both, you're a troublemaker! McNeil's expression softened slightly, but his mouth was still a little unrelenting.

The black boy looked at McNeill's grim expression, and his mouth was simmering, but finally he retracted, not daring to show a hippie smile again.

Yesterday's warm-up pretended to be injured and failed, and then ran a few steps in the semi-finals and then retreated, which had already made the coach in front of him thunderous, and he didn't dare to touch this mold again.

But even if McNeil doesn't say that, he'll give it his all in the 200m, which is his favourite sport.

The 200m and 400m are not too demanding for the start, just right for a runner of his height to start and accelerate in the first half of the race, and compared to the 400m, the 200m distance is just enough to reach the critical point of the physical limit, and he can keep running to the finish line in one breath without making his body too uncomfortable. And the 200 meters provide enough distance to allow him to give full play to his long legs and strong stride ability.

He often felt a little uncomfortable running the 400 meters, and he had lost to many other runners in Jamaica, and in the 200 meters, as long as he was serious, he could not match any competitor of his age, or even three or four years older than him.

"I want to break the 200m record at the World Junior Championships, so that the coach has nothing to say!"

The black boy silently thought about the importance of the 200-meter to him, and he didn't want to return to Jamaica and start training for inhumane over-distance running every day.

If you want to be qualified to have dialogue, you still have to get results.

In the 400m race, he gave up in the semi-finals, and if he didn't run well in the next 200m, he couldn't imagine what people in China would think of him, as well as his mother and his family.

At the 2002 World Junior Championships in Kingston, Jamaica, he was only 15 years and 322 days old, but he won the 200m, becoming the youngest world champion ever to be a world junior champion.

At that time, almost the whole team in the country was celebrating him, and it seemed that the whole of Jamaica was crazy about him, and many people were shouting at him that he was the future of Jamaican sports.

If the performance is too poor, there will probably be a lot of criticism and questioning.

He doesn't like any of that!

Thinking of this, he glanced at Coach McNeill who was standing not far away, the other party actually treated him well, but he was always dissatisfied with his performance in the 400 meters. His agent, Piarc, has suggested that he needs a higher-level coach to coach and is already in contact with head coach Fitz Coroman at Kingston's High Performance Training Centre. It is said that the coaching experience of the opponent is very suitable for his characteristics, and under the opponent's team, he may be able to perform well at the Athens Olympics next year.

"Yusai, get ready, start the roll call!" McNeil's voice came.

"Okay, Coach!"

The black boy instantly shook his spirits, and when he crossed the runway, the black boy's eyes suddenly noticed a warm red figure, "Hey, he also participated in the 200 meters?" ”

The Asian player who met a few times yesterday and was very enthusiastic to come and support him yesterday has a number 100, a very good number, at least better than his number 290. After he retired, the opponent seemed to win the first place in the group in the 400-meter semi-finals, but he didn't expect the opponent to also participate in the 200-meter.

"Hi No. 100, see you in the final of the 200m!"

The black boy didn't care whether the other party understood it or not, and waved at the other party with some excitement.

Ye Qin, who was warming up and running, suddenly felt a figure flickering in front of him.

Looking up, it was the black boy from yesterday, and he didn't understand what the other party was saying, but the English number 100 still understood, and it was his number plate.

"Hi, number 290." Ye Qin also said hello.

The black boy smiled, and after shouting, he ran directly towards the roll call line that was about to enter.

He was the first group in the 200m heats, and he was going to get off to a good start.

Ye Qin watched the other party leave, and didn't think too much, just silently added in Chinese, "Don't withdraw again!" ”

Yesterday was the 400-meter semi-finals, the two were a group, Ye Qin thought he would run with the other party at first, but the other party withdrew directly, he couldn't understand what the other party thought, and it didn't look like he was injured, so he waited for the next 200-meter race.

After the black boy left, Ye Qin then ran another acceleration run, feeling that his body was almost completely warm, and then slowly stopped.

In the 200-meter warm-up, he did not do long-distance warm-up jogging, mainly in the acceleration run, after all, the running style of the 200-meter and 400-meter events is poor, and his weakness is the start and acceleration.

Nie Fangping has begun to pay attention to Ye Qin's starting and accelerated training in Xiushui No. 2 Middle School, but the current time is still short, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in muscle strength, after all, Ye Qin's training time is too short, if he can have a few more years, and when his body grows and matures, there should be a leap forward in making up for this weakness.

And at this stage, at this distance of 200 meters, if he is left behind too much in the first half, it is not too easy for him to catch up with others behind.

This is the world stage, the best young people in the world of track and field compete here, not in China, and there are many excellent and powerful people, which Ye Qin has completely felt after a few days of competition.

The men's 200m race is basically similar to the men's 400m race, with three shots to win, but the difference is that there are significantly more competitors in the 200m than in the 400m. A total of 53 runners participated in the 200m heats that started at 10:05 a.m. today, divided into seven preliminary groups, of which there were only seven athletes in the first, sixth and seventh groups, and the rest were eight players.

The rules for advancing to the semi-finals in the preliminary round are similar, with the top three teams in each group advancing directly, and then the remaining three spots being filled by the top three players.

Ye Qin is in the third group of the heats, and his schedule today is the men's 200m heats in the morning, and then he will have to wait until the men's 400m final in the evening.

After a full warm-up, Ye Qin gradually felt that his body was heating up, and Zhou Bin, the team leader on the sidelines, waved at Ye Qin.

"Ready to play, Ye Chin!"
