"Mr. Hunter, we all know that you are a well-known track and field coach in the United States, can you tell us why you suddenly had the idea of coaching in China?"

"I think this should be a very normal phenomenon, I've seen reports and people accuse me of being unpatriotic, and this accusation is ridiculous. Why doesn't he want to think that we in the United States actually have the most and best coaches in the world. Great Britain, Russia, France, Jamaica, many excellent coaches have come to the United States and have contributed greatly to the strength of our national sport. Many of them have become Americans like you and me.

Not to mention, look at our women's volleyball team, which also hired the best coaches in China to coach. As a coach, we should not be completely limited to the country, but should fully look at the potential and talented players from other countries, improve together, and constantly push the limits of human beings. Moreover...... The Chinese food is so delicious that if you go, believe me, you might want to be a journalist there. ”

"Can you tell us about the athletes you coach? Of course, we're not talking about Mike Powell, but the athlete you've coached in China for more than six months, oh, by the way, his name is Chin Ye? He had just won the Grand Prix in Eugene, beating the likes of Ron Merritt, Andrew Luke and Michael Blackwood, but many Americans had never heard of him until then, except for Liu Yangyu and Yao. ”

Outside Icahn Stadium, Randy Hunter and others, who had just arrived at the stadium, were noticed by many American media as soon as they got off the bus, and several media reporters were conducting interviews with long guns and short guns.

At this moment, the media attention was the object of even Olympic champion Liu Yangyu and coach Sun Chaosheng were left behind. There are actually a lot of media reports about Liu Yangyu, but the media are all looking for the latest popularity.

Especially when a coach who has been silent for a period of time suddenly goes to a foreign country to coach and takes his athletes to the United States again, which has caused a lot of heated discussions.

In the United States, the men's track event, 100 meters, 200 meters and 400 meters, has always been the focus of attention, the most important, in comparison, the men's 110 meters hurdles can be regarded as a very outstanding track event, but in comparison, there is still no 400 meters to care about.

You must know that the men's 400m event can be said to be a traditional strong event in the United States, and it often wins the top three in an Olympic Games, plus a 4×400m relay race, its status as a track and field power is almost unshakable.

The United States won the first and third place in the men's 400m at the 1984 Olympic Games, the American athletes in the men's 400m at the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games, the United States in the men's 400m at the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games, the United States won the gold medal in the men's 400m at the Atlanta 1996 Olympic Games, the United States won the top two at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, and the United States won the top three at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games...... In the last six Olympic Games, the champion has almost never been left behind, and the country's outstanding 400m athletes have emerged one after another.

In particular, before the 1988 Seoul Olympics, Reynolds completed a fantastic run in the frenzy of the Zurich crowd, setting an astonishing time of 43.29 seconds, breaking the 20-year-old world record of 43.86 seconds set by American athlete Evans in 1968 on the Mexican highlands.

After that, there was Michael Johnson's 43.18 seconds, and the level of attention to such a traditionally strong event naturally far exceeded that of others.

Randy Hunter stood in front of a large number of reporters, and surprisingly did not answer directly to the questions asked by the reporters, but slowly gave way to his position with a smile on his face, "Ladies and gentlemen, I want to say, since you want to know so much about the athletes I coach in China, hey, then why don't you ask the person concerned?" ”

Ye Qin stood behind Randy Hunter and watched him talk to a crowd of reporters, and this was the first time he had seen a different side of his coach. Humorous, personable, and very appropriate in answering questions, and occasionally some questions can cause the reporters in the audience to laugh.

When I was in China, although I didn't have been interviewed, the number of times was actually not much, and the limited few times were the activities of the track and field team with CCTV.

But back on American soil, Randy Hunter is back to being one of the world's top coaches, playing freely in front of numerous cameras and microphones.

"That's probably the other side of the coach!"

Ye Qin silently observed in his heart, and he still felt that this side of Randy Hunter was quite worth learning. Perhaps, he is actually subconsciously learning how Randy Hunter faces the camera.

He has been interviewed by many reporters now, but he still feels a little uncomfortable when facing the camera, which is a very strange feeling, that is, there is no tension in talking and talking, but when the camera falls on him, he can't help but feel that some things don't know how to express and say.

From the first time he appeared on the stage of the World Junior Championships, he saw the champions surrounded by the media, and he was very interested in it at that time, and he hoped that one day he would be able to do the same.

In the past few years, he has more or less been interviewed by some media, but in terms of performance, Ye Qin feels that he should actually strengthen it a little more.

The tension of the camera, this feeling he experienced very deeply, thinking that if he was like Liu Yangyu, in addition to interviews on the field, he also had to attend various business activities off the field, and then answer reporters' questions and interact with reporters, it was difficult to think about it.

This is also the reason why his grades have grown too fast, in the final analysis, he is just a young man who is less than seventeen or eighteen years old, think about the end of the Athens Olympics last year, Liu Yangyu was on the stage of "The Same Song", and interacted with many stars in Xiangjiang to do activities, he really felt that he was not doing very well.

In fact, this feeling is not only that Ye Qin wants to get more attention and be shrouded in the spotlight, but a competitive spirit that arises subconsciously.

In the ring, I want to be the fastest one, and I want to be the best in front of the media.

"Ye Qin, the coach is calling you!"

Just when Ye Qin was a little distracted, he suddenly felt Chen Zhongzhou beside him gently elbow his arm.

"Huh? What the? ”

Ye Qin suddenly came back to his senses, looked up, and found that many media and reporters were looking at him.

Randy Hunter snorted at him, and soon Yechin saw a blonde female reporter step ahead and ask him questions with the microphone.

"Uh......" Ye Qin was really uncomfortable for a while, the other party's speech speed was very fast, and he was not able to listen to the other party's complete question in the first time.

Fortunately, after long-term sports training, his psychological quality is excellent, and after a slight pause, he spoke: "I'm sorry, I didn't listen very clearly, can I trouble you to say it again?" ”

The female reporter who asked the question also seemed interested in the young Asian athlete in front of her, and was not annoyed that Ye Qin had not heard him clearly.

Still seriously, he asked again: "Ye Qin, we all know that you are a young Asian player, and your appearance in Eugene has made many American viewers know about you, I would like to ask, what do you think about the New York Grand Prix?" You know, in this stop, Olympic champion Jimmy Warner will also compete in the men's 400m. Do you want to challenge him? ”

"Jimmy Warner is a great athlete, he's an Olympic champion, anyone who is in the 400m will want to challenge him, and I'm no exception......"

Ye Qin said, spread his hands, and showed a smile, "But I don't know if I can succeed in the challenge, and it won't be now, I will participate in the men's 200m in the New York race." ”

Compared with the challenge to Jimmy Warner launched in public by Lawne Merritt, who is known as the new generation of 400 meters in the United States at this time, there is no doubt that what Ye Chin said is more in line with people's appetite.

In particular, a significant portion of the journalists present were white. Although racial discrimination is rarely spoken about in public, Jimmy Warner, as a white athlete, broke the black monopoly in the 400m event, which is as representative as Liu Yangyu's breakthrough in the men's 110m hurdles.

The reason why the reporters asked this is because Ye Qin's 45.08 seconds in Eugene is one of the last 400m times since the start of the season, and it is also a subconscious recognition.

You must know the rise of Liu Yangyu, behind every game, about his rival Trammell, Alan Johnson has a lot of popularity in China.

After that, several other reporters came forward and asked Ye Qin about his views on Chinese athletes in the U.S. track and field competition, whether he imitated Michael Johnson in the men's 200m and men's 400m, and whether he felt that he might become the third influential athlete in U.S. track and field after Da Yao and Liu Yangyu.

Ye Qin answered them one by one, and occasionally used a little American humor he learned from Randy Hunter, which greatly increased the favor of many people.

In the end, it was Randy Hunter who ended the interview with the American media on the grounds that he was going to warm up for the afternoon game.
