"The Chinese teenager won silver twice and broke the national men's 200m record!" ——Yanjing Evening News

"A sprint rookie is born, and a 17-year-old boy breaks the national record!" ——Jinling Morning News

……

July 18, the last day of the World Junior Championships.

Although it was the last day, all the competitions were scheduled for just over two hours, starting with the women's high jump at 17:15 and ending at 19:35 in the men's 4×400m relay, with a total of 10 events in the final of the track and field races.

Ye Qin and Zhou Bin sat in the stands with several other coaches and staff of the team, first watching the men's 110m hurdles final at 17:35, in which his roommate Liu Lilu participated. In the final, Liu Lilu finally won the fourth place in the final with a time of 13.96 seconds, but unfortunately failed to win a medal.

Then in the second men's triple jump, Chinese player Zhu Shujing won a silver medal for the Chinese team again with a best score of 16.59m in the second jump.

In the women's 4×400m relay race at 18:40 in the evening, the Chinese women's 4×400m relay team finally ranked eighth with a time of 3:38.57.

After the women's 4×400m relay event ended, Zhou Bin gently patted Ye Qin's shoulder, and said with regret on his face: "If only our male athletes could have a few!" ”

"Well, if there are a few more people, you will be able to participate in the relay event." Ye Qin nodded, looking at the members of the women's relay team who had just finished the competition, and there was a faint feeling of emotion in his heart.

For example, track and field competitions are basically singles, and there are only relay events for men and women, which is a rare collective event in track and field events, and he doesn't want to try to run in his heart.

But......

In this World Youth Championships, in the men's sprint event, Ye Qin's performance in the World Youth Championships is excellent in both 200 meters and 400 meters, but it is a pity that Ye Qin is the only player who can participate in the World Youth Championships sprint event in China, so that there are no suitable athletes in the men's 4×100m and men's 4×400 meters, and there is no suitable relay team, so naturally there is no way to talk about the ranking of the relay event.

So far, on the last day of the World Youth Championships, the Chinese team's trip to Grosseto, Italy, can be regarded as a successful completion of all the games.

The Chinese team finally ranked ninth among all participating countries with 1 gold, 7 silver and 2 bronze medals, a total of 10 medals. It is slightly inferior to the results of 2 gold, 8 silver and 1 bronze in the last World Youth Championships.

……

July 19, Grosseto Central Hospital.

"Coach Nie, I will leave someone here to arrange your formalities for you, and you can be discharged from the hospital in a week, and then return to China then." Zhou Bin put a bag of fruit he bought in the supermarket on the way to Nie Fangping's hospital bed.

"It's really causing trouble for Director Zhou and other colleagues."

On the hospital bed, Nie Fangping sighed with a smile, this World Youth Championships, everything else went well, but it was his own physical problem, which could not be assessed correctly.

According to his own thoughts, he basically felt that there was no major problem, and he could directly follow the team back to China tomorrow, but the medical staff abroad refused and needed him to stay in the hospital for observation for a week.

"It's not a problem." Zhou Bin shook his head, smiled a little helplessly, pointed to the door and said, "Coach Nie, Ye Qin still wants you to say something, you know, the Olympics are coming, the lineup of the national team has been determined, and this is still specially passed by the Athletics Management Center and the General Administration after getting Ye Qin's results, so it can't be delayed." ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Bin also had a headache, the Chinese team will be ready to return to China tomorrow, and Nie Fangping will stay for an extra week because of his health. Originally, Ye Qin's heart was worried about Nie Fangping, and it was not a big deal to drag on walking with Nie Fangping for a week.

However, after Ye Qin's results of the World Youth Championships were transmitted, the domestic feedback was very fast, and Ye Qin was required to go to the national team for training and report immediately after returning to China. Now that the time for the Olympics is getting closer and closer, the time given is still very tight, and although there is no real problem, it always does not give people the impression that it is so appropriate.

"I'll tell him."

Nie Fangping smiled and nodded, Ye Qin's stubbornness He had seen it when he first met and asked him to go to the avant-garde sports association, although he has been much better in many aspects in the past few years, but when it comes to some specific things, he still can't turn around, or he is unwilling to turn.

He knew this Nie Fangping very well and understood Ye Qin's intentions, but he still had to make it clear to Ye Qin.

After Zhou Bin left the room, Ye Qin followed into the ward with his head down and sat down beside Nie Fangping's bedside.

"Coach!"

Ye Qin said hello to Nie Fangping, and after sitting down, he directly picked up an apple at the head of the bed and peeled it with a knife.

"It's rare to come to Italy and not go out with other people? When you return to China in the future, people ask you where you have been in Italy, and you can't always say, just go to stadiums, hotels and hospitals, right? ”

Nie Fangping looked at Ye Qin, who was sitting on the edge of the bed and peeling apples for him, smiled, and did not directly mention the matter of Ye Qin returning to China, after the team finished the competition yesterday, it will leave Italy tomorrow, and today is the time to rest, and some coaches or other staff members have gone out with the participating athletes.

"I'm not going." Ye Qin handed the peeled apple in his hand to Nie Fangping, and shook his head, "Coach, according to what you said, I will have the opportunity to participate in various competitions in the future, and when the time comes, I will go directly to Rome to participate in the Golden League, and then go and see everywhere." ”

"You......" Nie Fangping took the apple and took a bite, his heart was slightly touched, he knew that Ye Qin wanted to seize the time and accompany him as much as possible for a while, so he exhaled lightly.

"Things have to be taken care of, what can you do here, tomorrow you will directly follow Zhou to guide them back to China, and the next step is to participate in the Olympic Games, this matter is not child's play......"

"Good!" Ye Qin nodded, reached out and grabbed another apple at the head of the bed, wiped it directly with his hand, and took a bite directly.

"Huh?!" Nie Fangping glanced at Ye Qin in surprise, as if he felt that the other party had suddenly changed sex.

Ye Qin then said to himself: "Of course, it is best to return to China with the coach, but I told Coach Zhou a few times, but he didn't agree, and now that the coach has spoken, then I will go back first." ”

Saying that, Ye Qin laughed and looked at Nie Fangping, he was a little unsure about keeping Nie Fangping in Italy, but he also understood that there was naturally someone who would handle these things well, and he originally wanted to fight for Zhou Bin as much as possible, but since it was not suitable, he didn't have to stay.

The Olympics are imminent, and Ye Qin knows very well that there is nothing he can do if he stays in Grosseto directly, and what he can do is to go to Yanjing and prepare for the national team as soon as possible, in order to create a good result in the Olympic Games.

Two years have passed, a lot of training, one game after another, running to several cities in China, and going abroad twice, and that immature young man has matured a lot more psychologically than before.

"Huh!" A smile hung on the corner of Nie Fangping's mouth, and for a while, he was both relieved and somewhat disappointed.

The ignorant teenager, the teenager he led to the arena step by step, seemed to suddenly grow up under his nose.
