July 18, General Administration of National Training Stadium.

Yang Yao, who hadn't seen him for a long time, ran over the first time he saw Ye Qin appear in the track and field, beat Ye Qin's chest, and congratulated him with a smile on his face: "You kid is really, finally back!" ”

"Brother Yang, it's been a long time!"

Ye Qin looked at Yang Yao, followed by the other party and hugged him gently, with a smile on his face.

Since last year's Asian Games, Yang Yao has been following Coach Yuan Guohua and other Gu Kai, Zhang Peimeng, Wen Yongyi, and Pang VIP to practice the 4×100-meter relay together.

In this year's national championships, Yang Yao ran 10.19 seconds and 20.49 seconds in the men's 100 meters and 200 meters, setting a new personal PB.

In the past, although Yang Yao's training would also be trained with his teammates, this kind of competition, which was driven by relay events, and each other was teammates and competitors, which made Yang Yao's improvement obviously go up to a higher level.

And Yang Yao's original body was not particularly good, this kind of training not only reduced physical fatigue, but also made him climb in state, which can be said to be a rare gain.

"Coach Yuan has been talking to you many times, if you don't come back, he wants to go abroad and tie you back!" Gu Kai, Wen Yongyi and others, who were wearing sprint suits on the side, all ran over after seeing Ye Qin.

"You guys are really ......" Ye Qin couldn't help laughing when he saw Gu Kai and Wen Yongyi and Pang VIP following behind, "It's so dark, it's all tanned and peeling!" ”

"Don't laugh, you're going to be together soon."

Wen Yongyi looked at the color of his arm, then at Ye Qin, and said dissatisfiedly, "It's not scientific, Ye Qin, it turns out that the blackest among the few people, you are now the whitest among us." ”

Ye Qin's complexion is naturally darker than that of ordinary people, but this year, he has been training in the United States and Europe, and many times he trains indoors, and in addition, the outdoor sunlight is not so fierce during some training, but is lighter. Especially compared to the few people who were exposed to the sun training in the outdoor track and field in June and July this year, their skin looks whiter.

After saying this, everyone present couldn't help laughing.

Everyone is a teammate, and although there is competition with each other, there is basically no competition with Ye Qin.

On the contrary, there is a sense of following Ye Qin and constantly challenging his best results.

In addition to Yang Yao, in the past half a year, both Wen Yongyi and Gu Kai have made a lot of progress, and their best results have increased to about 10.25 seconds, and they feel that there is obviously room for improvement.

On the one hand, it is benefited from the track and field team's proposal to drive individual events with relays, and many of the best athletes in China train together, and there has always been invisible competition within the country.

The other, most important reason, is that the shackles in the hearts of all present have been broken.

A few years ago, if someone had told them that there was an Asian athlete who could break the 10-second barrier and run a time of 9.90 seconds, they wouldn't have believed it.

But, now, they're watching their teammates do it.

In the men's 100-meter competition at the Asian Games, Wen Yongyi, who also participated in the finals, Gu Kai and Yang Yao, Pang Weiping, Gong Wei, Jing Ke and other domestic men's 100-meter athletes actually watched the game on the sidelines.

Seeing Ye Qin break the 10-second mark, I saw a possibility.

This achievement, which was once considered completely impossible, is actually not as difficult as we thought, and we can still do it.

For many athletes present, this kind of breaking of the shackles in their hearts can be said to be a thunderstorm on the ground, a feeling that the stones that have been pressing on their hearts for a long time have been broken.

When practicing sports, especially track and field sprints, the athletes present can only run 10.2 or 3.0 seconds despite their best efforts, and that deep doubt will linger in their hearts at this time.

Am I at the end of my talent? Am I at the ceiling? Is it possible to go further?

Like Yang Yao, Gong Wei, Jing Ke, each of these old athletes has experienced it, but continuous training and hard work, it seems that they can't see the progress of their performance, but it may cause some regression, and the athlete's own self-doubt and psychological pressure at a loss will make a person breathless.

But when the 10-second mark and the 20-second mark stand in front of everyone, there is an Asian athlete, a Chinese athlete, and an athlete who has run together in the arena to do it.

It is only at this time that many people gradually find the meaning of perseverance and find the direction of firm belief.

Actually, it can really be done!

Starting with Ye Qin running into 10 seconds, then 9.80 seconds over the wind speed, and then several times within 10 seconds, by the time of the Rome Golden League before returning home, this time has improved to 9.90 seconds.

Everyone sees a possibility that maybe they have reached the peak of their talent and can't improve their sprinting skills no matter what.

But there is also a high probability that he is still some distance away from this limit, this apex, but he has not dug it out of his body.

I haven't trained hard enough, I've never been exposed to new training methods, and I've never had better sprinting skills.

If someone can do it, why not try again?

It turned out that there was no hope, but now, I see a ray of light!

"Oh, everyone is finally together today!"

When everyone was chatting around the track and field, the voice of Coach Yuan Guohua, who was not tall outside the stadium and did not have much hair on his forehead, came.

"Guidance Yuan." Ye Qin saw Yuan Guohua for the first time, his face was a little embarrassed, and he greeted with a smile.

Ye Qin thought that Yuan Guohua would tease him a few words, after all, Yuan Guohua hoped that Ye Qin could return to the men's relay team to cooperate with the training earlier, but his schedule has participated in three Golden Leagues, which has dragged on until now, and he is somewhat weak in the face of Yuan Guohua.

Yuan Guohua walked over, but patted Ye Qin's shoulder, and said with a smile on his face: "Ye Qin, you have done a better job than we thought." I never thought you'd be able to grow to this point so quickly. Now ranked number one, right? ”

"Well, it should be number one for the time being." A smile appeared on Ye Qin's face, with a little pride and pride, like a child who reported his grades to the teacher.

Yuan Guohua's guidance time is not particularly long, but it has a huge role for him to improve in the men's 100m event.

After finishing the men's 100m, Ye Qin is currently ranked first in the IAAF men's 100m event and second in the men's 200m.

Winning the men's 100m in three consecutive Golden League races, plus points from several other Grand Prix races, has now led Yechin to the top of the men's 100m, ahead of Jason Gaby and Asafaville.

In the men's 200m, he is currently in second place, behind Jason Gaby, mainly because Yechin competes a little less in the men's 200m than in the 100m.

"Well done, Ye Qin don't be proud, keep up, you are our banner, the better your results, the other team members will also aim for you and run better results. At this year's World Championships, we will continue to work hard! Yuan Guohua has a smile on his face, he used to be a men's 100-meter athlete, and later after becoming a coach, he was once mainly coaching sprints, and now he is the head coach of the 4×100-meter race.

"By the way, add a newcomer to your team, you veteran players should take care of it, don't bully him!"

As he was talking, Yuan Guohua let out a young athlete who was not tall behind him, introduced it to everyone and said, "This is the player I recruited when I returned to Guangdong Province, I am very talented, and I will train with the relay team in the future." ”

Ye Qin had already noticed the people behind him when Yuan Guohua came over, but he didn't open his mouth at that time, and at this moment, he saw Yuan Guohua introduce to several people, and they all stepped forward to say hello.

"Big ...... Hello everyone, I'm Su Bingtian. ”

The newcomer behind Yuan Guohua should be seventeen or eighteen years old, looking very immature, and he seems to be a little nervous when he is watched by many top domestic sprinters.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the thick broad-spectrum accent made many people smile on their faces.

"Su Bingtian, welcome to the relay team!"

"Xiao Su, you have to practice Mandarin!"

"Yes, yes, the accent is much heavier than Coach Yuan, similar to when Wen Yongyi came."

"What, I'm much better than Su Bingtian! I'm from Zhuhai! ”

After the crowd expressed their welcome, they talked about the issue of a broad-spectrum accent.

Su Bingtian's accent was a little heavy, which made many people a little difficult to listen to.

However, relative to the problem of accent, in fact, everyone is somewhat accustomed to it, not to mention that Coach Yuan Guohua himself has some accents, that is, Wen Yongyi, who has been in the national team for such a long time, has a strong accent when he speaks.

Ye Qin's original accent is also very obvious, and he has lived in Yanjing for a long time in the past few years, and he has gradually gotten better.

Looking at Su Bingtian, Ye Qin inadvertently thought of the scene when he first joined the national team, and it seemed that he was about the same as the other party in terms of age.

It's just that at that time, the situation of the track and field team was much worse than now, especially sprinting, which basically belonged to the situation where grandpa didn't love grandma and didn't love it.

It wasn't until Liu Yangyu and himself that the atmosphere of the entire sprint team began to change slowly, and everyone had something called confidence.

"Okay, everyone is here, then let's get ready for training!"

Yuan Guohua watched everyone greet each other lively, clapped his hands, and focused everyone's attention back.

"I am not afraid to say the goal of the men's 4×100m relay event at the World Championships here, we want to enter the final and win medals! Do you have the confidence to do it? ”

"Yes!"

A huge response rang out in the athletic field.

"Go ahead!"

Yuan Guohua beckoned, and suddenly many athletes gathered dispersed, changing clothes and shoes to warm up and stretch for jogging, and everyone was instantly busy.

"Top three at the moment!"

Yuan Guohua's eyes were full of unprecedented confidence, and these young track and field athletes in front of him were the best he had encountered since his coaching career. can shout the target slogan of the top three, Yuan Guohua is not completely unconfident.

With Ye Qin as the fourth stick, as long as the first three sticks cooperate well enough, the three players whose strength level can be around 10.20 seconds are enough to give him confidence.

Chinese track and field, Chinese sprint, started here, rose!

This is my relay team, our relay team!
