Helsinki, where the Chinese delegation is located.

At 10 p.m. on August 7th, in a conference hall, Randy Hunter's eyebrows were tangled, and it took a long time for him to suddenly throw an A4 printer paper in his hand on the table, and scolded angrily, "Damn the weather, the shitty schedule, IFFA is getting more and more mixed up, haven't they considered the project conflict?!" ”

After scolding, Randy Hunter glanced at the other people at the conference table, and seemed to feel that something was wrong, and wanted to explain, but finally held back, and only sat down a little angrily.

At the conference table, Chen Zhongzhou glanced at Feng Shuyou and Yu Weili, who were sitting at the top, his face was a little embarrassed, and he cleared his throat a little before he continued: "They took into account the men's 100-meter and 200-meter events, but the next 200-meter and 400-meter should not be considered. ”

"In that case, I think I should train Ye Qin for the men's 100-meter event in the future." Randy Hunter snorted coldly, not buying Chen Zhongzhou's explanation.

In fact, the arrangement of the schedule has been discussed in the team before coming to Helsinki again, but now that Feng Shuyou and Yu Weili have arrived, he is somewhat unhappy.

But as a professional coach, he also knew that the suggestions made by several members of the delegation were reasonable, and combined with the current weather in Helsinki, it could be said that the most appropriate solution was at the moment.

In fact, even if they don't bring it up, as a responsible coach, he is actually thinking about communicating with Ye Qin on this issue.

But in the end, he was still a little unwilling.

After so much time and experience in preparing for the 400m, especially in recent months, there was a trade-off that he didn't want to accept for a while.

"Ye Chin, what do you think yourself? At the time, we thought it might be difficult, but now that the weather is like this, we feel like we should be on the safe side. ”

Yu Weili, who was sitting in the deputy, looked at Ye Qin holding the schedule of this World Championships in his hand, rubbed his eyebrows, and said helplessly.

Today was the first day of the World Championships in Helsinki, and it didn't come as a surprise to anyone, as the previously gloomy weather was raining and torrential rain at this juncture.

The competition in the middle of the event was once suspended by heavy rain, which had a serious impact on the athletes who competed.

To be honest, whether Yu Weili competes by himself or leads the team to participate in the competition, he has encountered various complicated weather conditions not once or twice, but it is the first time that he has caught up with a heavy rainstorm so strongly.

Moreover, looking at the current situation, there may be no intention of stopping this rain for a while, according to the news from the meteorological side, it is estimated that during the entire World Championships, there may only be a chance for the weather to clear in the next few days.

"Yu Gui, can't I choose both?" Ye Qin looked at the schedule in his hand, and his face looked a little sullen.

Ye Qin had already obtained the schedule for the World Championships, and he participated in the men's 200m and men's 400m, and the preliminaries of the two events were the same as the World Junior Championships he had participated in before, and there was a conflict again.

The men's 200m is a total of four shots, and the time of the competition is:

Preliminaries, August 9 at 12:20 p.m

Semi-final, August 10 at 13:45

Semi-finals, August 10 at 6:40 p.m

Finals, August 11, 10:10 p.m

There are three shots in the men's 400m, and the competition time is:

Preliminaries, August 9, 13:50

Semi-finals, August 10 at 8:15 p.m

Finals, August 12 at 9:35 p.m

The main conflict of the schedule occurred on August 9 and August 10, according to the original plan of Ye Qin and Randy Hunter, it should not be a problem to advance on the first day of the preliminaries, and there are many preliminaries in the two events, with Ye Chin's current level, it is basically guaranteed.

But on August 10, the intensity of the competition was greater. There are two races in the men's 200m a day, and the semifinals and semifinals are already not to be taken lightly.

Add to that a semi-final in the men's 400m, and that's even more difficult. It will be difficult to ensure that both events will qualify for the finals, but it is better to qualify for the finals because the final of the men's 200m and men's 400m finals will be divided into two days.

Randy Hunter had actually complained when he knew about this schedule, but he has been coaching Ye Qin for more than half a year now, and he is still very confident in Ye Chin's physical condition. Although it is difficult, competitive sports are like this, and they will definitely face such problems.

The other is that Randy Hunter is different from the average coach, he is a top coach who has already made a name for himself, and although he has raised high expectations, he does not want Yechin to be tied to one sport.

Fang Cai said that it was better to let Ye Qin run 100 meters, not just casually, but he really thought about it.

In his opinion, Ye Qin's current age is not the time when he has not yet achieved a certain number of results, and in terms of Ye Qin's state, he will almost certainly be extremely competitive in several projects in a few years, and it is not a bad thing to try more at this point in time.

Whether it's 400 meters, 200 meters, or even 100 meters, and the long jump event that he is good at, you can try it. There are many events that a top sprinter can do at the same time, and which one of Ye Qin's strongest events is actually a bit early to measure by his current age.

Therefore, Ye Qin did not stop him from running the 400 meters and 200 meters, but encouraged him.

Ye Qin himself did not particularly feel about the two races in one day on August 9 and the three races in one day on August 10, he experienced three games in one day when he was in the World Junior Championships, and later the World Youth Championships also experienced two races in one day, and they all ran down like that at that time. There was a lot of time between the two events in the Olympics, but in the end, he still competed in both events.

Perhaps because he was in the 400m from the beginning, he was much more physically fit than the average 200m runner and was able to cope with extremely dense and intense schedules.

Of course, to say that they will definitely be able to have the best performance in the two projects, Ye Qin himself does not dare to guarantee this.

He just felt that he didn't want to give up on either project.

This point may also be engraved in the bones, just like when I practiced physical education, I didn't want to put down studying, but I just felt that I might be able to achieve a balance if I worked harder.

"Of course it's okay to choose both." Yu Weili's voice was a little lower, he glanced at Feng Shuyou beside him, seemed to take care of Ye Qin's emotions, and said slowly, "The team also agreed at the beginning, but looking at the current situation, in such a weather environment, if you want to do both, it may be a great burden on your body." ”

"We all believe in your ability in the 400m and the 200m." Feng Shuyou also nodded on the side, "But now we still need to make a trade-off." ”

Before the start of the competition, the announcement of the track and field team was aimed at training young athletes, which is why before arriving in Helsinki, the team knew that the schedule conflicted, and was able to agree to Ye Qin to participate in both events.

Similar to the thoughts reported by Randy Hunter, he and Yu Weili are not quick successes, and the biggest competition in the future will be in the Yenching Olympics in 08. Now Ye Qin has to participate in both events in a competition, which is a good thing.

First, there are only a few athletes who can meet the standards to participate in the World Championships, and this time it is almost a replica of the Olympic Games. In the men's 200m event, there are still only Ye Qin and Yang Yao, and there is only Ye Qin in the 400m.

Second, they also wanted to see which of Ye Qin's two events in the competition was the best. In the Olympics, it was the men's 200 meters, but Ye Qin himself practiced 400 meters, including the usual training of 400 meters. If you can find out the characteristics of your personal ability, no matter which event you participate in the Yenching Olympics in the future, you will be able to train and prepare for special abilities as soon as possible.

Now the main problem is the weather, heavy rain, and probably heavy rain, which is quite a challenge for an athlete.

In the two-day competition yesterday and today, many events and several groups of athletes were affected by the heavy rain, and the competition was repeatedly suspended or delayed, and many athletes even shivered in the process of waiting for the rain to stop, which is very unfavorable for the athletes to maintain their condition.

With two games on August 9 and three games on August 10, if it rains heavily, the physical exertion, burden, and the probability of injury due to the changing temperature will be greatly increased.

For the sake of insurance, Feng Shuyou and Yu Weili really can't sit still, and they should make trade-offs in the men's 200m and men's 400m events.

Young people are hot-blooded, and they don't care about it, but they can't do it.

"Instructor Feng, Mentor Yu, let me think about it again."

Ye Qin sat in his position and muttered for a long time, in fact, since he arrived in Helsinki, he found that the weather began to be gloomy, and he had some bad premonitions.

"Okay!" Feng Shuyou didn't speak, but Yu Weili spoke first, "You haven't played tomorrow, you can think about it again." What I mean by Coach Feng is that you can work 200 meters more. Besides, we won't let you quit the competition. ”

Ye Qin nodded, understanding the meaning of Yu Weili's words.

As an athlete, on a stage like the World Championships, if he has signed up for two events, but only participates in one event, and withdraws from the other event, although it is in line with the rules, it will give people a little bit of negative competition. It's not so good for building a positive image of athletes.

But it's also very simple to solve, in the preliminaries, one project plays well, and the other project can be eliminated by doing more reservations.

In terms of event selection, his 200m looks better than the 400m on the whole, after all, this can be seen from the results of the Athens Olympics.

When Feng Shuyou saw Yu Weili say this, he didn't say anything more, got up and announced the adjournment of the meeting.

Before leaving, he glanced at Ye Qin deeply, and sighed silently, after all, he is a young athlete, and he can participate in the World Championships in both events, and he is too late to be happy with such an athlete, but now he has to make some trade-offs.

Why did he go out in a low-key manner before the game, and why he emphasized that it was to train the team, that is, Feng Shuyou was not confident in several gold points.

He also didn't dare to expect Ye Qin to win gold, but he might be able to compete for a medal in the 200m, and then not enough to guarantee a final in the 200m. As for the 400m, Ye Qin's current results and personal ability are also clear, and he has a chance to qualify for the final in comparison, but it is not easy to say if he goes further.
