Chapter 10 Amateur Performance
Yan Ning looked at Ye Qin's back, shook his head helplessly and smiled.
She is from a sports background, and she knows very well that there is no systematic training among the general students and no special training at all, and the gap between them is still very obvious.
Among the several sports students, except for Fang Qiang, who is already in his third year of high school, Liu Yizhen and Li Jianchao have a chance to get the second-level athlete certificate after systematic training.
Most people usually watch TV and watch competitions, and often measure the level of certain events with the world's top level, but in reality, even if they are just touching the threshold, the level of second-level athletes exceeds the vast majority of people.
For example, in a small place like Xiushui County, there are too few people who systematically conduct physical training, taking 100 meters as an example, there are very few high school students who can memorize within 12 seconds.
However, she also knows that young people of this age are impulsive, hot-blooded, and unconvinced, and they will definitely not be able to bear it if they are provoked by a few words.
Since Ye Qin wanted to run, she didn't have any opinion. Just pay attention to wait for the conflict to intensify, and start to do it.
Before the starting line, Yu Hao looked at Ye Qin, his face full of incredulity.
"Ye Chin, you want to run too? With them? β
Like Ye Qin's tablemate Sun Yuguang, he thought that Ye Qin should be that kind of nerd, who had no interest in sports, why did he suddenly come out to run?
He had just blown his whistle at the starting line, 100 meters away, and he hadn't noticed what was happening at the finish line, which would have been full of doubts.
However, before he could ask more, Ye Qin had already walked to the starting line.
"Hey, what's that, Ye Qin, this runner is for you."
Liu Yizhen picked up a running aid from the side of the track and walked over.
It turned out that there were four sports students who were preparing for the test, but the other one was a senior like Fang Qiang, and he was absent for some reason, so he just happened to be used by Ye Qin.
"No need!"
Ye Qin shook his head, he also used the running aid a few times in junior high school, but it may be because he has no professional training, anyway, it is quite awkward to use, once he ran in physical education class, and his feet slipped at that time.
"Huh!" Li Jianchao, who was standing next to him, looked at Ye Qin and shook his head to refuse, and chuckled, this will be a test competition soon, but he didn't say as much as just now.
"That's up to you!"
Liu Yizhen put the runner behind Ye Qin, nodded, and didn't care. He has a good personality, and he is the only one among the few who has not clashed with Ye Qin.
Standing in front of the starting line, Ye Qin gently grinded the track with his feet, his brows furrowed slightly, he was wearing a pair of old pull-back shoes, and the anti-slip lines on the soles of his feet had already been smoothed.
He simply walked to the side, took off his shoes and socks, tucked them into his shoes and put them away next to the track, and then walked back to the starting line again.
"Barefoot?"
Looking at Ye Qin's movements, Liu Yizhen, Li Jianchao, and Fang Qiang, who was in the third year of high school, all showed a somewhat peculiar expression.
It's not like they've never seen barefoot running, and they have occasionally run in elementary and junior high schools, but this is a cinder track, and when you run at full speed for 100 meters, the soles of your feet really hurt.
With his feet on the rough cinder runway ground, Ye Qin inhaled lightly, and a long-lost sense of tension seemed to stir in his chest in an instant.
"You're all in place!"
Yu Hao next to him saw that several people were basically ready, first waved his hand at Yan Ning at the finish line, and then shouted to a few people on the starting line.
Liu Yizhen, Li Jianchao and Fang Qiang, in their respective paths, leaned over, squatted, and put on a starting posture, only Ye Qin next to him, with his feet separated from the front and back, spread his arms, arched his body, and was still standing.
"Hey, Ye Chin, what are you doing?" Yu Hao was suddenly surprised.
"Standing? Isn't this a long-distance run? β
In front of the starting line, a few other people who had already squatted down looked at Ye Qin's posture and were stunned again.
In today's sprint races, there are very few people who use a standing start, and the standing style is too inefficient in terms of starting reaction and starting acceleration. It is usually only used as a complete amateur or in training.
In official competitions or tests, it is common to use a squatting starting method.
Since the 1896 Athens Olympics, American track and field athlete Thomas Burke won the 100-meter race championship with a time of 12 seconds with a similar "squatting" starting method, the squatting start has been repeatedly proven to be the most effective starting position in the sprint event.
And Ye Qin really didn't use a squatting way to start in junior high school before, and there were only three rusty running aids in the whole school of Xiaoli Middle School, except for a physical education class that was taken out by chance, and everyone basically hadn't seen it, let alone the physical education teacher to explain it to everyone.
To start without a runner, you have to learn from athletes decades ago to carry a small shovel and dig two shallow pits on the track to exert force for your feet.
Although the junior high school of the township middle school has physical education classes, there are not many physical education majors taught. In the 50-meter test of the high school entrance examination, the starting posture adopted by students is almost always a standing start.
Ye Qin once saw others start with a squat, and he also pretended to learn twice, always twisting in a twist, either his body suddenly sank and he was about to fall, or he was a beat slower than others. He doesn't know much about the starting position, so he naturally feels comfortable now.
Before the starting line, Li Jianchao pouted at Liu Yizhen, as if to say, "See, this is completely a layman from the township middle school."
And Liu Yizhen could only shake his head slightly, put Ye Qin out of his mind, and focused his attention back on the runway.
The results of the group were too poor, and they regressed a lot from last semester, and this group can't do this anymore!
"Readyβ"
Yu Hao dragged out a long emphasis, like a professional starter in many competitions, and shouted out the password. At the moment of shouting preparations, he quickly put the whistle in his mouth, and there was a faint excitement in his expression.
In front of the starting line, the three sports students moved in unison, from squatting to a semi-hunched starting position.
Only Ye Qin, whose movements were almost unchanged, started working on his feet back and forth, and his body leaned out slightly, looking like he was waiting for the whistle to sound.
Beep!
The clear whistle sounded again.
Ye Qin felt that he was slow to react, and the moment the whistle sounded, he was already moving.
But in his ears, there was a sudden sound of spikes rubbing against the cinder track, and he didn't even bother to look at it, and he felt that the figures of the three sports students next to him suddenly jumped out from his side, and the movement was incredibly fast.
"So fast!"
For a moment, Ye Qin was really a little shocked.
He didn't quite understand the difference between the starting style and the long-term starting training, but he felt that it was a bit unexpected to look at the few people who didn't run well.
However, the race has already begun, and he is not the one to admit defeat before the finish line. With his head down, he desperately began to swing his arms to accelerate!
Thirty meters ahead, Ye Qin accelerated desperately, but he could basically only look at the backs of the three sports students.
There is almost a gap of two meters and three meters between him and Liu Yizhen, who runs the fastest, and there is also a distance of more than one meter from Fang Qiang, who runs the slowest.
In just 100 meters, such a distance can almost be said to have locked the victory in advance.
"Oh, I thought it was amazing!"
Yu Hao, who was blowing the starting whistle next to him, glanced at Ye Qin who rushed out of the starting line, and was suddenly pulled away by a distance of one or two meters, and couldn't help but pout and shake his head.
When he started to watch Ye Qin compete with a few sports students, he thought that Ye Qin was usually inconspicuous, and he really had one or two hands, but now that he looks at it, he is basically not much better than himself. No, it should be a lot worse than yourself.
Although he has not specifically practiced track and field sprinting, he has been considered a good kind of sports since junior high school, otherwise he would not be a sports commissioner.
