Chapter 494: To Bydgoszcz
"I didn't think I would win a medal when I participated in the World Junior Championships, I hadn't joined the national team yet, but after the World Junior Championships, I participated in the Five Cities Club, and I performed very well at that time......
Grosseto in Italy is very good-looking, but I am still not used to the diet, and I didn't join the national team at that time, so many of them are quite inconvenient......"
When the time came to July 4, on the international flight from Yanjing to Warsaw, Poland, Ye Qin sat in his seat and was chatting quietly with Su Bingtian, who was not sleepy.
"Wouldn't you be nervous? It's only the second year back then, right? Su Bingtian listened to Ye Qin talk about his experience of participating in the World Youth Championships a few years ago, and asked with some curiosity.
"I was definitely a little nervous, but I was a little confused when I went to the World Junior Championships the year before, I just got on a plane, I sat there all day, and then I came down and went to another strange country, which was amazing. It's a foreigner himself. ”
"I thought Brother Qin, you wouldn't be nervous, watching your game and the coach said that the bigger the scene, the more stable you are."
"How is that possible?" Ye Qin shook his head, "The same nervousness, even if you participate in the competition now, sometimes you will have the same psychological pressure." But we have to get over him. Then you have to be firm in your beliefs and not be swayed by other emotions and opponents. ”
Speaking of this, Ye Qin paused slightly, and seemed to groan for a while, "Well, there are some opponents who will release some interference signals before the game, expressions, eyes, and even language, especially in relatively low-level competitions, you don't have to pay attention to it." ”
"yes, I see." Su Bingtian took a breath lightly, nodded, and showed a determined look in his eyes, "Thank you, Brother Qin, for accompanying me to participate in the World Youth Championships." ”
"I'm not just for you."
Ye Qin smiled beside him, "I can't stay in China now, the atmosphere is too strong, the pressure is too great, and the training is not peaceful, Instructor Feng and Instructor Yu both asked me to come out to take a breath, just follow you over to have a look." ”
Since Yechin broke the men's 100m world record again on June 12 in Ostrava, Czech Republic, almost all the country has been crazy about Yechin.
If it was a general enthusiasm to set world records and break world records before, it can now be described as extreme fanaticism.
After Ye Qin returned to China, it was not enough to hold several press conferences in succession, and every year, many reporters and ordinary people came to watch the stadium of the General Training Bureau, and they could not stop it.
The slightest inadvertent recognition directly caused confusion, which was much more serious than the previous situation when Ye Qin won the men's 100m and 200m gold medals at the World Championships.
After all, the gold medal at the World Championships is not a particularly clear concept for many ordinary people who don't know much about sports.
But the world record is very clear, that is, the first in the world. And from the flat world record to breaking the world record twice, the media coverage has been full of twists and turns.
When Yusse Bot broke the world record before, there were even a lot of voices singing about it, and many people on the Internet were worried that Ye Qin would lose to Yusai Bot in the Olympics, and various pessimistic emotions still permeated for a short time.
When Ye Qin broke the world record again with a time of 9.70 seconds, this mood was instantly reversed, and the feat of one draw and two breaks strengthened everyone's confidence in this short period of more than a month.
It just so happened that from July 8th to July 13th, Su Bingtian was going to participate in the 12th IAAF World Youth Athletics Championships.
On the one hand, it is to allow Ye Qin to temporarily avoid the heat that is heating up more and more in China as the Olympics are approaching, and on the other hand, Su Bingtian is a member of the men's 4×100-meter relay race of the track and field team.
"Xiao Su, this men's 100-meter race, don't be too stressed, I've seen all your results, you must be able to compete for gold and silver, when Ye Qin participated in the competition with you, I didn't think he would be able to come to this day so quickly."
Sitting behind Ye Qin and Su Bingtian, a middle-aged man's voice sounded, as if he heard the content of Ye Qin and Su Bingtian's chat, and couldn't help but interject.
The long-distance flight is boring, there is no direct flight from Yanjing to Poland, you need to go to Moscow first to transfer and then fly to Warsaw, which adds up to almost fourteen or fifteen hours. Once in Warsaw, you will need to change your flight again and take the flight from Warsaw to Bydgoszczcz.
Fortunately, a few of them were in business class, surrounded by young athletes who were heading to Bydgoszcz to compete, so they didn't have to worry too much about whispering and talking to others.
"Thank you, Director Ye, I'm fine." Su Bingtian heard the male voice behind him, turned his head slightly and whispered back.
Although he has shown his face at the World Championships and participated in the men's 4×100m relay race, Su Bingtian is still participating in an international competition for the first time in the single event.
Coach Yuan Guohua because with the gradual approach of the Olympic time, the doppelganger lacked skills, this time Su Bingtian participated in the World Youth Championships followed Ye Qin's old acquaintance, who had led him to participate in the World Youth Championships and the World Youth Championships Ye Lidong Ye guidance.
"Director Ye, don't worry, Bingtian's mentality is better than I did back then."
Ye Qin listened to Ye Lidong's explanation on the side, thinking that a few years ago, he went to Sherbrooke and Grosseto under the leadership of the other party, which was his first appearance on the international stage.
It can be said that the reason why Ye Qin was able to develop so smoothly later was that his talent and strength were on the one hand, but to a large extent, it also came from the help and support of many appreciating people.
At that time, Nie Fangping took him to Yanjing to participate in the World Junior Championships, but in that case, the hope was actually very slim, and it was Ye Lidong who took a fancy to Ye Qin's potential and gave him an exceptional opportunity.
Ye Qin won two bronze medals and two silver medals in the World Junior Championships and the World Youth Championships, which can be said to have created the best Chinese men's sprint performance in the world at that time.
It wasn't until later that Ye Qin regretted that his training time was still short at that time, and he still couldn't win gold in the face of strong opponents.
Until 06 years, he gradually matured physically and technically, and won the men's 100-meter championship for the Chinese team at the World Youth Championships held in Yanjing, and officially from that time, Ye Qin began to emerge in the men's 100-meter sprint event.
This time Su Bingtian, Ye Qin felt that the other party should have a good chance to compete for the championship, on the one hand, he knew the overall level of the World Youth Championships players, unless there were one or two demon-level players, otherwise the overall level should not be particularly high.
The other is that Su Bingtian's current performance in his age is already first-class, and in the past two years after entering the national team, Su Bingtian's self-discipline has improved, and it can be said that he has surpassed Ye Qin in some aspects.
Like Zhang Peimeng's current training is particularly hard, to a large extent, it has been stimulated by Su Bingtian's rise, and the relay training in the team can sometimes not only improve the tacit understanding between each other, but also a kind of benign invisible competition has always been inside.
Seeing Su Bingtian sitting silently in his position, as if digesting the words of the two of them to relieve his pressure, Ye Qin reached out and gently patted the other party's shoulder, and said slowly: "You will definitely be able to handle the competition, I don't worry about this, you have already participated in the 4×100m relay race at the World Championships."
The establishment of self-confidence actually comes from the affirmation of myself in one game after another, and I will also be afraid when I face foreign players in the first overseas competition, but only when I go to contact and compete on the field, I will understand that foreign players are not terrible, but will know that you are faster than them, and it is not that you are afraid of them at that time. It's that they're afraid of you. ”
……
After saying this, Ye Qin and Su Bingtian did not continue to talk about the mentality of personal coping with the competition, which is an experience that athletes need to face and grow up independently.
On the competitive field, many times athletes are lonely and need to face alone.
The plane headed northwest, making a stopover at Moscow Airport and then arriving at Warsaw's Okenche-Chopin International Airport.
After a short stop at Okinche-Chopin International Airport, the Chinese track and field team, led by Ye Lidong, boarded another flight to the northern Polish city of Bydgoszczcz.
