“Onyourmarks！”

The voices of each in place with some accents sounded on the field.

Ye Qin raised his head slightly and looked at the Karo Zechini Olympic Stadium, which was an outdoor stadium with no walls and was like a ring egg, giving people an extremely wide field of vision.

Standing in front of the starting line, you can watch the white clouds fluttering in the distant blue sky, the air is fresh, and although the climate is completely different from Sherbrooke, the feeling of openness is still very clear.

In the stands on both sides of the field, there were more than 10,000 spectators, although there were not as many people as when he participated in the City Games, but the enthusiasm of the audience seemed to be even higher, and the shouts and cheers of various language accents and some small horns and whistles were endless.

Although the atmosphere of the track and field arena is far less than that of a football match, it can still attract the attention of everyone in the audience at the moment of some important games.

Leaning over and bowing his head, the spikes on Yechin's feet landed on the starting block.

In this men's 400-meter preliminaries, Ye Qin was in the fifth lane, and the significance of this race for Ye Qin was the most important thing to advance, but at the moment when he was squatting down and preparing to start, Ye Qin still glanced at the Sudanese Abu Bakr Ali on the sixth lane again.

In the final of the World Junior Championships, Abubakr Ali's performance was too impressive, when Abubakr Ali won the championship with a time of 46.10 seconds, a level that Yechin may not be able to run even now.

But the more this is the case, the more Ye Qin wants to continue to compete with the other party.

After the competition at the Linzhou Station of the National Indoor Championships, Ye Qin followed Nie Fangping's mode of "training by competition, practicing while racing", and successively participated in two Grand Prix and a National Track and Field Championships and Olympic Trials.

In these races, he won the championship in one of the 400 meters, and the other races were the runner-up and third place, and he could still be regarded as the leader in the youth competition he participated in in the country, but when he arrived at the professional field, facing Yang Yao, Jing Ke, Gu Kai and Xu Zhiyu, whether it was in the 200 meters or 400 meters, he encountered challenges.

Especially in the National Championships, this is the Olympic trials, he also met Xu Zhiyu, the current national men's 400m record holder, although both failed to run the level of the 400m Olympic B standard, but he is still slightly weaker than Xu Zhiyu.

However, in three consecutive major races, the 200m and 400m combined are equal to six high-intensity races, which still allowed him to grow and break through again and again under such a load, and the progress is very obvious.

Of course, this level of progress is not the same as when he first started to practice track and field in the first year, when he first practiced track and field, whether it was 400 meters or 200 meters, his growth rate was calculated in seconds, and now, after the 400 meters broke through 47 seconds, and the 200 meters broke through the seconds, the progress can only move forward at the level of a few tenths of a second.

This is the natural law of the human body, the closer you get to the limit and peak, the slower the rate of growth. But the difficulty of his score increasing by 0.5 seconds at this time is much more difficult than the previous two or three seconds of training track and field with Yan Ning.

Ye Qin is now gradually liking this mode of competition and training collection, every time the training is boring, or a little gain, he immediately enters the field to verify it, and constantly corrects his details, the distribution of physical fitness and speed in the 400 meters can be more refined, and the speed of the first half of the start is becoming more and more handy.

It is precisely because of Ye Qin's good situation that Nie Fangping will sigh that before the World Youth Championships, there is no suitable competition for Ye Qin to continue to participate in in China, otherwise Ye Qin may be able to go further, and because of this, it is determined that Nie Fangping wants to lead Ye Qin to participate in international competitions after the World Youth Championships or the Olympic Games.

“SET！”

After making sure that all the runners had bent over and kept their bodies still, the starter called out the preparation command.

The seven runners in front of the starting line changed from squatting to starting position at the same time.

On the big screen at the scene, the information of the seven preliminaries has already appeared, the first lane is New Zealand's Corey Innes, the second lane is Venezuela's Carlos Perez, the third lane is France's Teddy Vernell, the fourth lane Australia's Ben Provins, the fifth lane China's Ye Qin, the sixth lane Sudan's Abu Bakr Ali, and the seventh lane Nepal's Gupal Katricha.

After Ye Qin reminded the players to prepare, the various chaotic thoughts in his heart gradually calmed down, and his mind seemed to be empty, just waiting for the gunshots of the game to sound.

After a few games in April and May, he has gradually become accustomed to the atmosphere of the field, and he does not need to do special psychological counseling work for himself before the game, and all kinds of preparations to deal with it, as long as he gets on the field and walks on the track, he can quickly enter the game state.

This is also an obvious benefit of the "training by competition, training while racing" mode, although Ye Qin only played a machine game, and it has been more than a month since now, but the feeling of the game, the body still remembers it.

This is also one of the reasons why many players can still be very stable in the top competitions, the more games, the better the psychological state, but for many pre-game tensions and excitement, or messy other emotions, the impact on the players will be greatly reduced.

Bang!

Race guns rang out!

Ye Qin almost at the moment when the gunshots rang out, all his attention had been focused on the arena.

After the gunshots rang out, swing your arms, stretch, and stride, all as if you were flowing smoothly.

He couldn't be more familiar with the 400-meter race, and after the start, he steadily followed his own pace and began to increase his speed.

His starting acceleration is still not the fastest, but he is now much better than in previous races.

The most important thing is that after a year, his muscle strength has improved a lot, although it is not particularly possible to focus on improving strength quality, but various basic training exercises, as well as physical development, nutritional supplements, and now his explosive power and the acceleration of the first half of the start have still improved a lot.

And compared to before, Ye Qin's understanding of the 400-meter project, as well as the details such as cornering acceleration, has also improved greatly.

The World Junior Championships is currently a competition for under-20 athletes around the world, and the overall level is naturally very different from the Olympic Games, but it is undoubtedly the highest level of youth athletics competition under the age of 20. The players who come to the competition are basically the most powerful and level in this age group in each country.

In the first corner, Ye Qin ran very steadily, did not rush directly to the first place quickly, ahead of the other players, but he was not thrown to the bottom of the position as before. He runs at a methodical pace, always controlling his pace and position among all the competitors.

The first 200 meters passed quickly, and Ye Qin stabilized his position in the middle, but entered the second corner, and at about 250 meters, he clearly spotted Sudanese Abu Bakr Ali, who was running in the sixth lane on his right, starting to exert his strength.

After the first 200 meters of running, although everyone is not running at the fastest speed, and the physical fitness and speed can be improved a little, there are not many runners who can really lift the speed completely.

Ye Chin almost followed the rhythm of Abubakr Ali, and after the opponent began to accelerate, he also began to accelerate, and this time in the preliminaries, he was staring at Abubakr Ali.

250 meters, 260 meters, 270 meters......

Seven players on the field are running like arrows.

Soon entered the stage of entering the second corner into the straight, and the first 300 meters because of the gap in the number of bands before the start of the corner, ordinary spectators could not see the leading and backward of the players.

But by this time, all the scenes became clear at a glance.

Abubakr Ali's sudden acceleration in the corner had already cut away from the rest of the runners and ran to the first position.

And Ye Qin, who followed closely behind, kept a gap of two positions with the other party, biting Abu Bakr Ali and not letting him pull away.

The two were significantly better than the others in this group, and soon entered the straight, only 80 meters, 70 meters, and 60 meters from the finish line......

Abubakr Ali already felt the other players around him being thrown away, and for him, it was almost no problem for him to win the group in the preliminary round at this level of the World Junior Championships.

He has a clear understanding of himself, he feels that he is in good shape, after participating in the World Junior Championships last year, he also participated in the World Junior Championships, and he ran well at that time, but in one of the highest level of athletics such as the World Championships, there are many masters, and he only participated in the preliminaries at that time, and he was ranked 43rd.

But in a competition like the World Youth Championships, he is very confident in himself, and in more than a year, he has also made a lot of progress, and the goal of this World Youth Championships is also very clear, that is, to win the championship like last year's World Youth Championships.

Fifty meters, forty meters, thirty meters......

Abu Bakr Ali felt like he was getting closer to the finish line, and with more than 350 meters ahead of him, he felt that his body had begun to enter the final stage of a more difficult one.

He knew very well that he had run well in the preliminaries, even better than in the preliminaries of last year's World Championships, and in the same group, these young players who had basically not participated in the World Championships were either far away by him at this stage, or they were almost unable to run, and he could easily win the group.

"I think I can put a little bit of it."

After all, it was the preliminaries, and at this stage, Abubakr Ali felt as if there were no other competitors who could pose a threat to him, and he had always won with speed and endurance in the second half of the race, and after accelerating in the corners, he should be secure to top the group. There are also semi-finals and finals later, and he doesn't need to fight too hard in the preliminaries.

But at this moment, suddenly, he felt that something was wrong.

The yellow runner who had only been following him from the acceleration of the second corner did not slow down.

"Is he Japanese?"

Abubakr Ali had such a question in his mind, unaware that the player had played him at the World Junior Championships.

It is not surprising that the other party is Japanese, he didn't care too much about the results of other players at the World Junior Championships last year, but at last year's World Championships, he watched several games.

In one of the men's 200m races, a Japanese athlete from an Oriental Asian country won the bronze medal in the World Championships with an unprecedented time of 20.38 seconds.

He had a profound impact on this match, because at this time, he felt that the fifth lane fighter was still chasing him, and the thought that popped into his mind was not that he had seen the other person, but that he suspected that the other player was a Japanese player.

At the beginning of the millennium, in the sprint events of international athletics, the Asian athletes who were able to appear on the international stage were basically Japanese athletes, while the Chinese athletes were basically completely absent except for Liu Yangyu, who has been making a name for himself in the Golden League of various Grand Prix events in the sprint events in recent years.

Suddenly......

Abubakr Ali only felt that the Asian runner who was following him had reached the last 30 meters, and instead of being thrown away by him, he suddenly felt a figure flickering around him.

Suddenly overtaken to the front!

Yechin has been biting Abubakr Ali tightly since he entered the straight from the corner, and he remembers the 400m at last year's World Junior Championships, where the opponent had a good pace in the first half of the race, almost leading from the start, but was also excellent in the second half of the race.

After being led by Abubakr Ali, he almost held on to the advantage, all the way to the finish line.

And this time in the preliminaries, Ye Qin obviously felt that the rhythm and style of the opponent's running had not changed, but he himself was not thrown away in the first half of the race as before, but has been able to stabilize his speed and position among the seven players.

Finally, when it came to the final straight, the stage where Yechin excelled, he began to chase and sprint with all his might.

Abu Bakr Ali's speed and endurance in the second half of the race were indeed excellent, starting from the 80 meters he knew, Ye Qin was only two or three positions away from the opponent, but he chased until the last 30 meters before he overtook the opponent.

Thirty meters, twenty meters, ten meters......

After Yechin overtook Abu Bakr Ali, he firmly controlled his speed.

In the last ten meters, Ye Qin had clearly felt that he could win the first place in the group, so he breathed a sigh of relief, increased his stride, and did not continue to sprint desperately, but crossed the finish line with the inertia of his body.

Abubakr Ali, who was behind Ye Qin, looked a little annoyed after seeing Ye Qin surpass him, but he didn't sprint with all his might, but paid attention to the movements of the players on the left and right, the two were obviously more than a step faster than the other players, and since they didn't exceed it at this time, there was no need to fight hard, after all, the qualification for the group stage was three people.

46.58 seconds!

On the on-site timing board, the results of the first runner to cross the finish line in the men's 400m appeared in this group.

Ye Qin was not surprised when he saw this result, his group basically belonged to the all-out run from the start, and only after surpassing Abu Bakr Ali in the end, he remembered what Nie Fangping said not to fight too hard, so he relaxed.

Abubakr Ali also showed the strength of last year's World Junior Championships, and if it weren't for Yechin's sudden kill, his preliminaries time of 46.68 seconds would have been among the top of all competitors.

New Zealand's Corey Innes, who crossed the finish line in third place, followed by the duo, also qualified for the semi-finals in 47.31 seconds. 8)
