"Brother Yang, come on!"

On August 18, the day after the men's 100m award ceremony, in the warm-up area of the athletes in the Bird's Nest Stadium, Zhang Peimeng looked at Yang Yao, who was about to appear, and stepped forward to encourage each other.

"Let's do it together!"

Yang Yao's face was full of smiles, and he didn't feel nervous at all because of the upcoming men's 200-meter preliminaries, first glanced at Zhang Peimeng, then glanced at Ye Qin, who was sitting and resting on the other side, even made a joke, "It's just the preliminaries, don't worry, I successfully advanced to the second round of the Athens Olympics four years ago, and this time I have to enter the semifinals." ”

As he spoke, Yang Yao's chin was raised, and he gestured to Ye Qin, who was sitting on a folding chair, "Ye Qin, do you think what I said is right?" ”

"Absolutely!"

Ye Qin was wearing a long coat and trousers to keep warm, his breath was slightly panting, and when he heard Yang Yao's words, he immediately smiled and made a victory gesture towards the other party.

Yang Yao is about to participate in the men's 200m preliminaries, and the Chinese team has a total of three players in the men's 200m race, Ye Qin, Yang Yao and Zhang Peimeng.

Yang Yao was the first group in the men's 200m preliminaries, but before Yang Yao competed, Ye Qin had just finished a group of men's 400m.

Ye Qin's shocking men's 100m final the day before yesterday and yesterday's men's 100m medal ceremony have passed, no matter what has become lively in the media at home and abroad at the moment, as an athlete who is competing, the first thing he needs to do is to adjust as quickly as possible.

"You don't have to think about any pressure."

It seemed that after getting Ye Qin's affirmative reply, the smile on Yang Yao's face was even worse, looking at Zhang Peimeng, he stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, then pointed at Ye Qin on the side, and said with a smile, "With Ye Qin here, we just need to do our best and give full play to our strength." ”

In the men's 100m race, Zhang Peimeng was eliminated in the second round, and his performance was actually very good, but the results of his teammate Ye Qin were too dazzling, which helped the young man's competitive psychology, which made him a little uncomfortable.

Yang Yao can actually understand this, but as a veteran player, he has long seen clearly the gap between talent and hard work between people, and sometimes it is an insurmountable gap.

Many times you can't be led by other people, what you need to do well is yourself. Give full play to all your strengths and win the highest honors and achievements, this is the goal.

Seeing Ye Qin's mythical results in the men's 100m event, he was equally shocked to watch, but he would not put pressure on himself because of this.

On the contrary, he felt that someone had already charged in front and was carrying all the pressure, then he should be fortunate to be able to go into battle empty-handed and go all out.

Hearing Yang Yao say this, Zhang Peimeng seemed to be a little nervous, squeezed out a smile on his face, and nodded, "I will work hard!" ”

"Okay, I'll play first, you relax a little, the movements were too tight when you just warmed up." Yang Yao smiled and beckoned to a few people, turned around and walked in the direction of the check-in.

After watching Yang Yao play, Ye Qin looked at Zhang Peimeng, who had returned to the field to warm up, he did not step forward to continue talking to the other party, but was seizing the time to rest.

The schedule on August 18 was a bit tense for Ye Qin, who took part in the men's 400m heats at 9 o'clock in the morning, and then after 10 o'clock, there was a men's 200m heats.

After successfully qualifying in the men's 400m preliminaries, Ye Qin now seized the time to sit on the field to rest and recover his strength.

Like the men's 100m, the men's 200m race is also a four-round race, with the first round of preliminaries at 10 a.m. on August 18, the second round at 8 p.m. on August 18, the men's 200m semifinals at 21:25 p.m. on August 19, and the men's 200m final at 22:20 p.m. on August 20.

There are three rounds of men's 400m, the time of the competition is August 18 at 9 a.m. is the first round of preliminaries, August 19 at 21:45 p.m. is the second round of semi-finals, and August 21 at 21:20 p.m. is the final round of the 400m final.

Compared with Ye Qin's previous competitions in more than 200 meters and 400 meters, the whole schedule is not so tight.

Today's 18th, although there are 400-meter preliminaries, 200-meter preliminaries and 200-meter semi-finals, three races in one day, but in comparison, the real biggest challenge is on the 19th, the 200-meter semi-finals and the 400-meter semi-finals are too close, and there is hardly much time to buffer.

In the first round of the men's 400m preliminaries, Ye Qin successfully advanced with a time of 45.37 seconds and ranked second in the group.

Compared with the World Championships in Osaka last year, Ye Qin can obviously feel that the general strength of the athletes in the men's 400m event seems to be stronger.

In the preliminaries, there were already six or seven runners running within 45 seconds, and basically the results of the promotion were all within 45.50 seconds, and the overall level can be said to be quite high.

In the 400m heats in the first group, he retained a lot of stamina in order to cope with the upcoming 200m heats.

At his level of sprinting, basically the promotion of the preliminaries and refinals will not be a big problem, but if the goal is to focus on the final final, he still needs to allocate his physical strength reasonably.

Fortunately, Ye Qin did not participate much this year, and his physical reserves were very good, as long as he did not overexert himself in the first few rounds of the competition, he was still confident to face the final round.

"Advanced!"

Time slipped by slowly, and just as Ye Qin was about to go to the arena, a staff member next to him suddenly shouted loudly.

"Yang Yao advanced to the 200-meter semi-finals with a time of 20.75 seconds!"

When the news came, the track and field team and some volunteers present immediately smiled.

After experiencing Yechin's madness in the sprint event, more and more people are looking forward to the performance of other runners.

In the men's 100m race, in addition to Ye Qin, Gu Kai and Zhang Peimeng were both eliminated after advancing to the second round, which can be said to be a pretty good phenomenon.

Now, in the 200 meters, Yang Yao successfully qualified, even if he was eliminated later, it also showed the reserve strength of Chinese track and field to a certain extent.

"Beautiful!"

Ye Qin clapped his hands lightly, although he was not able to go to the scene to see Yang Yao's performance in this game, he himself knew the pressure of the Bird's Nest Sports game.

Especially in this morning's competition, although there were no heavyweight finals, there were a lot of spectators.

On the one hand, the Yenching Olympics itself is a grand event, and almost all the venues are full. Another aspect of his current influence in China, with two tournaments this morning, is enough to attract many supporters to watch. Another point is that in addition to the men's 400m and men's 200m heats he participated in, there was also a touching preliminaries in the morning - the men's 110m hurdles heats.

Ye Qin himself was a little unbalanced in the men's 100m preliminaries, although Yang Yao's attention was definitely not as high as theirs, but he was able to smoothly play his strength and run a score of 20.75 seconds, which can be regarded as quite psychological.

"Zhang Peimeng is already on the field!"

Ye Qin glanced at the remaining athletes in the warm-up area, and found that he didn't see Zhang Peimeng's figure, and Chen Zhongzhou next to him seemed to see his thoughts, and leaned over and said softly.

Ye Qin nodded slightly, Zhang Peimeng's performance in the men's 100m event was actually very good, but he had been in contact with Zhang Peimeng for a long time, and he knew Zhang Peimeng's character somewhat.

This Yanjing man who looks polite and polite is actually very strong in his bones. If he doesn't have an opponent worthy of his competition, he may have a mediocre performance in some matches, but when he encounters someone or something that can stimulate him, he will give it his all and burst into strong potential.

Ye Qin's performance has made him see this possibility, so he has further requirements for his performance in the arena.

At 10:45 a.m., the staff on the sidelines notified the seventh group of players in the preliminaries to prepare to play, Ye Qin checked the number plate and spikes on the spot, and after everything was ready, he immediately followed the staff to prepare for the game.

In the first round of the men's 200m, there were a total of eight preliminary groups, and more than 60 runners participated.

Yang Yao is in the first group, and Zhang Peimeng is in the fifth group. Yang Yao's promotion results have been confirmed, but when he played, he had not yet received the news of whether Zhang Peimeng would be promoted.

But now, he didn't have time to think about anything else, just kept a calm mind, and under the guidance of the staff, he lined up with the other players in the same group, and then entered the arena in a unified manner.
