"Ready!"

"Run!"

The sound of snapping and fast footsteps suddenly sounded in the indoor training hall, and a figure on the track quickly got up from the starting line and ran straight forward after the password sounded.

After running for about forty or fifty meters, Ye Qin slowly stopped, supported his knees with his hands, and relieved the fatigue of his body before slowly standing up and walking back to the starting line.

"Ye Qin, your movements were not crisp enough when you started just now." Before the starting line, Yuan Guohua, who was holding a stopwatch in one hand, saw Ye Qin come back, and made a gesture in the air with both hands, "The starting force should burst out, and it is not just one step, two steps, three steps and four steps behind, you must have the feeling of fast this kind of explosion, the soles of your feet and the ground can have full contact, and the amplitude should not be too high when you lift your feet." ”

"Well, it is necessary to have sufficient contact area on the soles of the feet, so that the reaction force of the ground can be borrowed more effectively."

Ye Qin wiped the sweat from his forehead, relieved himself a little, and then prepared to continue walking on the starting gear.

He has been training for the start for a long time now, and the starting technique seems to be a very simple thing, even if you don't need to train, in fact, talented athletes can do well.

But for top athletes, if they don't want to improve their performance by even 0.01 seconds, they need to grasp all aspects that can be improved.

Ye Qin's running skills on the way are very good, which is the foundation laid by Nie Fangping for him in running at the beginning, but in terms of starting, because it is a 400-meter event, relatively speaking, the degree of attention is not high, so now the high-level competition needs to be constantly strengthened and improved.

"Let's take a break." Yuan Guohua watched from the side, stopping Ye Qin's idea of continuing to prepare for another run, "If you want to be fast, you can't reach it, your current starting skills are not bad, and progress is a slow process of carving." ”

When Ye Qin heard this, he nodded, and didn't go anywhere else, he sat directly on the ground, his hands folded behind his back to support his body, and slowly recovered his somewhat tired body.

"What, feeling so stressed?"

Yuan Guohua sat down on the runway with him, glanced at Ye Qin's expression, smiled and said, "Don't be impatient, come little by little." ”

"I still want to improve a little more, I feel that the World Championships and the Olympics seem to be a long time, but in fact, it has only been a year or two, and the current level of players is improving, Coach Yuan, you know, I don't want to lose." Ye Qin looked at the light on the top of the indoor training hall and said slowly.

"You......" Yuan Guohua shook his head with a smile, "No matter how good the game is, no matter how good the player is, he will lose, like that Jimmy Warner and Asafavir didn't also lose the last game of the year." ”

"That's different." Ye Qin smiled, "If it's a small game, I can also lose, but when it's critical, I can't." ”

The two all-time sprinters who held the record this year, Asafavir in the men's 100m and Jimmy Warner in the men's 400m, both kept winning for almost the entire year, but both fell short in the final race of the year.

Jimmy Warner retired midway through the Grand Prix Gold in Morikai due to injury, while Asafavir was sent off for running at the Yokohama Grand Prix on September 25.

Yuan Guohua smiled, but did not continue to say anything on this, as a top athlete to be able to come to this point, he is naturally extremely competitive, and he doesn't need to emphasize this again and again.

Instead, he said another thing, "Ye Qin, when the time comes, will the 4×100-meter relay event of the Asian Games be physically supported?" ”

"It should be fine." Ye Qin pondered for a moment, "I think the schedule of this year's Asian Games is relatively friendly to me, and the intensity of the competition is lower than last year's World Championships." ”

"You can just put it away and run." Yuan Guohua nodded, "Counting the men's 4×100 meters, you can participate in 4 events in this Asian Games, fortunately, we don't have a relay team of 4×400 meters this time, otherwise it will ......."

Speaking of this, Yuan Guohua couldn't help but laugh softly.

The Chinese team still has a lot of effort in the men's 4×100m event, but if you want to talk about the men's 4×400m, it really doesn't pay too much attention. The main reason is also the weakness of domestic athletes in the men's 400m event, except for Ye Qin, other athletes are not competitive in Asia, let alone others.

"Coach Yuan, wait until I pick you three or four gold medals at a time." Ye Qin also laughed, he didn't pay too much attention to the Asian Games, after all, there are not many players who can pose a threat to him in Asia at the moment.

Although track and field competitions depend on the state and performance, when the level reaches a certain level, there are basically some things that are under mastery in many cases. What's more, this year's Asian Games is held in December, and after the annual competition is basically over in September, it takes more than two months to prepare, and Ye Qin is still very confident.

"I'm not worried about the men's 200m and men's 400m, but the men's 100m ......"

"What's wrong with the men's 100m?" Ye Qin glanced at Yuan Guohua with some curiosity, "Coach Yuan, do you think I can't win the championship in the 100-meter event?" ”

Yuan Guohua shook his head slightly, "That's not it, judging from your performance in the World Youth Championships, as long as you can play steadily, you basically have a good chance of winning the championship if you run within 10.30 seconds." ”

"What's going on?" Ye Qin looked at Yuan Guohua, and there was still a little puzzlement in his eyes.

Yuan Guohua sighed slightly, and suddenly said, "Koji Ito remember, right?" ”

"Remember, the retired Japanese player." Ye Qin replied that Ye Qin has always been familiar with the name Koji Ito, as early as when he first started practicing physical education, the physical education teacher Yan Ning repeatedly told him about the Japanese player, and also said that his running style was a bit like Koji Ito.

In 1998, Koji Ito set an Asian record of 10 seconds in Bangkok, Thailand, and the 10-second mark was set by the Japanese side, proving that the yellow race is also promising in sprinting. Unfortunately, except for Koji Ito, no other player was able to do it. Speaking of this, Yuan Guohua paused again, "But in fact, this 10-second mark, where is the heart disease of the Japanese, it is also our heart disease." It's just a pity that in previous years, our national record was still 10.17 seconds, not to mention the 10-second mark.

Now, finally, you've broken the national record, and you're the one we think has the best chance of breaking the 10-second barrier, so you chose the men's 100m, and we, the coaches, and even the people at the athletics center, are supporting you for that reason. The men's 100-meter event, the 10-second mark, is the heart disease of our generation of track and field people.

Our best result in the sprint event was when he was coached by Chen Jiaquan, who broke the men's 100m record six times, and his best time was 10 seconds, which equaled the world record at that time. When I was younger, I was fortunate enough to be an athlete under him for a while, and we always wanted to improve the men's 100-meter sprint in Chinese track and field. It's a pity that you joined the national team late, and if it was a few years earlier, maybe you would have had a chance to meet him. ”

"If it was earlier, I would still be catching fish and shrimp in the countryside."

Ye Qin replied with a smile, and after saying this, his expression became serious, this was the first time he heard Coach Yuan talk to him about these things about track and field, in fact, he had also learned a lot of things.

Like Chen Jiaquan's old coach Ye Qin, he actually had some understanding, but unfortunately the old man had passed away in 04, and he had not yet entered the national team at that time.

Back then, Coach Chen Jiaquan equaled the world record in the men's 100-meter event, which can be said to be a milestone breakthrough in the domestic sprint event. This shows that even though there was a gap between the top masters in China and the world at that time, the gap was definitely not that big.

Not to mention anything else, the coach Yuan Guohua in front of him, in his career as an athlete, is also the holder of the 100-meter record in domestic electronic timing.

The kind of plot that generations of sprinters and track and field people have invested in this, even though Ye Qin is still young and can't deeply understand some aspects, it has to be said that the feelings in it are enough to move.

The idea of breaking the 10-second barrier is not only shared by Japanese athletes, but also by other Asian athletes, as well as by generations of domestic athletes, and it has become a lingering knot.

Among the current domestic athletes, whether it is Gu Kai, Yang Yao, or the 100-meter athletes of other national teams and provincial teams, there is no one who runs into 10.20 seconds in the best time of the 100-meter event.

Only Ye Qin broke the national 100-meter record directly on his debut in the men's 100-meter event at the World Youth Championships, and further, with Ye Qin's strength in the 200-meter event, he is the most promising person to break the 10-second mark.

"After this year's Asian Games, I am also going back to Guangdong Province to select newcomers and see if there is any potential among them." Yuan Guohua then talked about further plans.

Coaches are generally like this, screening potential seedlings, recruiting them, and cultivating them in an all-round way from beginning to end, which is much easier to manage than a big name like Ye Qin suddenly joining his command. At least in terms of philosophy, it is also more consistent.

"By the way, you have performed well in the Asian Games this time, you have made a name for yourself in the international athletics world, and it is time to set a few records in Asia. You don't have to go to the preliminaries of the 4×100m relay at that time, you can just go to the final, and when a few of them arrive in a few days, you can practice hard again, and you will run the final batter, so that we will be more confident when we face Thailand and Japan. ”

"Good!"

Ye Qin looked at Yuan Guohua with a smile on his face, but his tone was very serious, and he nodded and agreed.

Asia's 200m and 400m records have already been won by Ye Chin, and there is still a 100m event left. And the Asian Games record, the men's 1200 meters are now held by Koji Ito, Ye Qin didn't deliberately think about breaking Koji Ito's record or anything, but if possible, he is naturally willing to leave his name in various major events.

As for the relay event, Ye Qin is also willing to cooperate with several other people, after all, this is not only about himself, but also on behalf of the national team.

In the men's 4×100m relay event, Asia should be regarded as the strongest Japanese team at present, and in terms of individual average strength, the Japanese team should be the best in Asia. In addition, there is the Thai team, the average of the Thai team is much inferior to the Japanese team and the Chinese team, but the excellent baton handover skills make the Thai team very competitive in this 4×100m relay event.

Ye Qin, as the fourth relay runner of the 4×400m relay of the Chinese track and field team this time, still has a certain amount of pressure to face competition.
