8 a.m.

After finishing the morning exercise, Ye Qin had breakfast at the base, rested for a while, and followed Chen Zhongzhou to the indoor track and field hall of the Xinzhuang training base.

Unlike the past few times in the indoor track and field hall training deserted, this morning the venue gathered athletes from many provinces and cities, and compared with the past, most of the indoor track and field championships only have athletes and coaches from all levels of provincial and municipal teams as spectators, today's audience seats on both sides of the audience, almost full, many spectators are in their seats early to wait for the start of the game.

Today is the 2005 National Indoor Track and Field Championships first stop Shenghai station competition, the reason why it can attract a large number of spectators here, the main reason is that there is Liu Yangyu's competition today, the men's 110m hurdles in the morning is the preliminaries, the afternoon is the final.

As a star in the current domestic track and field world, and fighting in Shenghai, the number of spectators who came to cheer was incredible, which was due to the limited capacity of the indoor track and field. Ye Qin heard that there were still many spectators outside the venue who had not bought tickets, and at this time they had already gathered outside the base to patrol around.

The total time of the competition at Shenghai Station is three days, 19th, 20th, 21st, Yechin's race schedule is 19th and 20th, the first day is 400 meters for men, and the second day is for 200 meters for men.

This time in the Shenghai station, Ye Qin's head coach Randy Hunter did not arrive in Shenghai, the other party probably has some time to return to China, Ye Qin is not sure whether that Randy Hunter can catch up with his game in Jinmen, but it is estimated that the third race in Yanjing will definitely be able to catch up.

Ye Qin looked up at the number of people in the indoor track and field today, compared to the competition he participated in in Linzhou last year, the number of participants in this year's indoor track and field championships is also significantly more.

Chen Zhongzhou told him that one of the reasons why so many athletes came to participate in the competition was that there was a National Games this year. In addition to the declaration of local teams at all levels, domestic athletes who want to participate in the National Games also need to look at the athletes' points and results, and the indoor championships and this year's track and field concession tournament and the subsequent National Track and Field Grand Prix and National Track and Field Championships and other competitions are all to brush up on this point and result.

Ye Qin won the national championship of the City Games, but it was a competition for young athletes, even if it was a champion, if you want to say that it is a national championship, there is still some weight missing.

The real national championship generally refers to the champion of the National Games, which is also one of the competitions that Ye Qin will definitely participate in this year.

Ye Qin competed in the men's 400 meters today, and the national indoor championships still only had two shots to decide, with the preliminaries in the morning and the final in the afternoon. Compared to the number of participants, after the preliminaries, directly into the finals, there is no doubt that the competition will be more intense.

At 10:30 a.m., the men's 400m preliminaries officially began, and a total of 41 athletes from various provinces and cities participated in the preliminaries.

Ye Qin was in the third lane of the third group in the preliminaries, and after the first two groups of competitors finished the competition, at around 10:40, Ye Qin followed the other athletes into the track of the indoor track and field.

After last year's Athens Olympics, although Ye Qin has been training, he has not participated for a long time, and when he returned to the track and field at this time, he only felt that every cell in his body seemed to be cheerful, and he felt a sense of eagerness to try.

The moment he heard the gunshot, Ye Qin could clearly feel that his reaction and starting acceleration were obviously much better than last year.

But when I arrived at the arena, my mind was very clear and energetic at this moment, and every movement could be perfectly fed back in my mind.

Yechin quickly ran to the first place from the start, and although Randy Hunter did not change much in the first half of the 400-meter race, he still wanted him to win in the second half.

However, with the improvement of his starting and acceleration ability, Ye Qin's comprehensive strength has also been quickly improved, and there are few players who can pose a threat to him in a competition such as the preliminary round of the indoor championship.

After the first lap of 200 meters, Ye Qin had already opened up a gap of several meters with other competitors, and in the second lap, he was even more outstanding, directly crossing the finish line.

In the end, the result of the preliminaries was fixed at 46.05 seconds, more than two seconds ahead of the second place in the preliminaries.

"You ran well, I think you still have some energy left."

After getting off the field, Chen Zhongzhou threw Ye Qin's coat to him and put it on, and he was still a little surprised to see Ye Qin's 400-meter preliminaries.

"It's a bit reserved, although the body is excited, but it lacks the stimulation of a strong opponent." Ye Qin put on his coat and wiped the sweat from his forehead and cheeks with a towel.

After finishing the preliminaries, Ye Qin looked at his results and was quite satisfied. Compared to last year's indoor competition, he ran 46.49 seconds in the final, and today he easily ran 46.05 seconds in the preliminaries.

He now has a clear understanding of himself, there are not many domestic 400m athletes who can beat him, and a large part of the significance of his participation in the indoor competition is also to train in the competition.

After all, people are more focused and more passionate when they are competing. Especially after a few months of winter training, the body gradually needs to start to adapt to the field, and the indoor competition can fully play a role in exercising.

However, at this time, Ye Qin also really felt that there was a lack of heavyweight opponents, and even if he was in good shape, he still couldn't fully mobilize.

"That's good, and the results in the preliminaries can basically win the championship. We are aiming to win the men's 400m and 200m at this year's Indoor Championships, and next year, it will be the World Indoor Athletics Championships. ”

Chen Zhongzhou is very satisfied with Ye Qin's first match in this competition, both in terms of results and personal form.

Now that the season has just begun, Ye Qin has gone through the Spring Festival break and is gradually entering the state of competition. Compared with Ye Chin's results in the outdoor 400 meters, Ye Chin's results in the indoor 400 meters are not particularly dazzling, but the 400 meters in the indoor race have a large arc, strong centrifugal force, and a ring, and most of the 400 meters have a large gap between the indoor 400 meters and the outdoor 400 meters. But compared to last year, it has improved a lot, and this is only a preliminary result, and if the final can be scored in 46 seconds, it will be a big leap.

After all, at this time, most of the domestic 400-meter athletes in the indoor 400-meter were still 48 seconds, and the gap with Ye Qin was obvious. According to Chen Zhongzhou's estimate, if Ye Qin can maintain the state of this indoor race, he has a good chance to break the national men's 400m outdoor record.

As for winning this year's indoor championships and the double championship of three stops, in Chen Zhongzhou's opinion, there is no big problem, one of the main reasons is that Ye Qin is still in a period of steady rise in performance, and now the results run out have the possibility of further improvement.

If it reaches a bottleneck, it may rise and fall with the state of state, and the results will be high and low, and in the rising period, there are very few current domestic players who are in good shape and have the ability to pose a threat to Ye Qin. In the 400 meters, there is only the original national record holder Xu Zhiyu, and in the 200 meters, Yang Yao and Gu Kai of Shuimu University, but there is a difference in age between them and Ye Qin.

The strength of the track and field competition has reached a certain level, and it is basically an athlete of a completely different level. As it is said in boxing, one step at a time, one point higher in kung fu, the higher it is, the higher it is. It's like a sprint race, a second faster, 0.5 seconds faster, 0.1 seconds faster, it's a completely different concept.

"I just observed, compared with your previous game video, your starting speed has really improved a lot, do you want to run 60 meters once, Coach Randy told me last time, I can take you to feel the feeling of the men's 60 meters." Chen Zhongzhou smiled and suggested.

"I think it's still a little worse, you can try to run 100 meters, and forget about 60 meters."

Ye Qin shook his head, he remembered that after Nie Fangping was at the World Youth Championships in Grosseto, Italy, after meeting the Italian player Andrew Howe, he also talked to him about this, saying that one day if his explosiveness improves, he can try to run a hundred meters, or even a long jump or something, he can try it.

He didn't need to be completely confined to one field, he didn't have the conditions and options at that time, he started from the 400m, and it was easy to get out of the national race, and it turned out that his 200m results were actually even better.

Of course, Ye Qin also knew that if he chose to practice 100 meters at the beginning, I am afraid that he may not be able to enter the finals in the City Games, let alone participate in the national team and participate in the Olympics later.

"Then wait until later."

Chen Zhongzhou smiled, not reluctantly, he was a teaching assistant, and when he saw Hunting, he felt that Ye Qin might also have achievements in 60 meters and 100 meters. Especially in the 100-meter event, which is the pearl of track and field, if there is a breakthrough in this event, it will naturally be more concerned than the 200-meter and 400-meter event.
