The entire schedule of the 10th Games is from October 12th to October 23rd, and it will last for 12 days.

Generally, large-scale comprehensive games, such as the Olympic Games and the Asian Games, including the National Games, the start time of track and field events is basically relatively late, and this National Games is no exception, and the track and field events will not start until October 17 and end on October 22. One of the main reasons why Ye Qin came to Jinling ahead of schedule was to participate in the opening ceremony of the National Games.

Although the flagbearer of the National Games is far less mysterious than the Olympic Games, because of this National Games, Ye Qin and Liu Yangyu served as the entry flagbearers of their respective local teams, so everyone's attention to the flagbearers of the 10th National Games has also increased a lot.

After Ye Qin participated in the opening ceremony of the National Games on October 12, he began training and preparing for the competition in Jinling.

However, this time it is no longer with Mizuki's Gu Kai, but according to the local teams at all levels, Ye Qin and the main content of the training of the Haixi Provincial track and field team, that is, the relay of the 400-meter event.

He has never run the 400-meter relay event before, and the national team is basically in a state of abandonment for this event at this time, and there are athletes who practice 400 meters, but it is difficult to produce results, not to mention that in world-class competitions, even in Asia, they are relatively backward.

Moreover, the 400-meter relay is not like the 100-meter relay for tacit understanding and the run-in of the team members It takes a long time, as long as the level of the players can reach a certain level, basically four people can pull it out and go directly to the field.

"It's been a long time, what projects did you participate in this time?"

On the afternoon of October 14, in a stadium not far from the residence of the Haixi Provincial team, Ye Qin was whispering hello to an old acquaintance on the sidelines.

"It's just a 100m, I'm practicing this one now, and the coach told me to stay focused."

Zhang Jiehua stood on the sidelines and looked at Ye Qin, who he hadn't seen for a long time, his expression was slightly complicated, but there was a little excitement in his eyes.

When he was in school, Ye Qin was one level higher than Zhang Jiehua, and he was one year older. Once upon a time, Zhang Jiehua, who had just stepped into high school, was so arrogant and arrogant that Ye Qin felt that it was nothing if Ye Qin could only win a third place in the World Junior Championships.

But when he stepped on the track and field, he gradually realized how amazing Ye Qin's talent was. He has always regarded Ye Qin as a goal to surpass, and now although he will no longer speak out in a big way, he occasionally feels powerless, and finds that he may not be able to catch up.

As his coach told him, you have a clear target ahead, then all you have to do is catch up. Whether you can catch up or not, at least the goal is clear, and in the process of catching up, you yourself are constantly growing. Take the best athletes as your goal, and at the end of the day, you may be able to achieve far more than the average person.

This is also what Zhang Jiehua later thought clearly, when he was in school, he was still a simple teenager, but as he entered the professional team, participated in the competition, and saw more and more people and more things, the maturity and growth of the teenager was almost overnight.

"By the way, Ye Qin, why don't you run 100 this time, I heard the coach say before that when several leaders of the Provincial Sports Bureau invited you, they hoped that you would also be able to participate in the 100-meter event." Saying that, Zhang Jiehua himself smiled again, "If you can run 4×100 meters, we can cooperate." ”

"Isn't there already you and Guo Fan in the 100 meters, I won't join in the excitement." Ye Qin shook his head slightly, looking at the track and field in front of him, at this time, the members of the Haixi Provincial Track and Field Team were making some daily pre-competition preparations, and then said, "And there are too many events, I can't run either." ”

The experience of two races a day and three competitions a day at the last World Championships made Ye Qin himself deeply feel that manpower is exhausted, even if he wants to chase the championship mentality, but when he encounters too many intensive schedules, he will be powerless.

After the World Championships, I occasionally think about the last men's 200m final, although he won, but it was really thanks to the weather at the time, and the headwind of the final straight allowed him to give full play to the advantage of his speed maintenance ability, so that he was lucky to win Jax Thelin.

There is not much difference between the two, and if the weather is better, there is no headwind of -1.8 m/s on the final straight, and the probability of him winning against Jax Thelin is slim.

Of course, Ye Qin knows very well that he still has too dense schedules, and if he focuses on the 200-meter event at the beginning and does not think about the 400-meter, it should not be so difficult to win.

"This one too." Zhang Jiehua smiled helplessly, raised his head and looked at Ye Qin, his current height and Ye Qin are also in the middle of the same, "You are now known as the 'king of all-round speed', and several coaches in the team believe that if you are willing to focus on the 100-meter event, the 100-meter will definitely be able to break the 10-second mark." ”

The title of the king of omnihabitat speed was not long ago after he ran a 100-meter race with Liu Yangyu and Yang Yao, although the specific results are not known to outsiders, but the level of 100 meters like Yang Yao is well documented, and he can reach the level of about 10.30 seconds, but he still lost to Ye Qin.

People outside, naturally, can imagine Yechin's hundred-meter level. And after all, the 200-meter results are there, and many people speculate that even if Ye Qin's 100-meter level is not too good now, there should be no problem with the runway of 10.2 seconds and 10.3 seconds.

This result is already at the top of the pyramid in the 100-meter event in China, and even in Asia at this time, it is also first-class. There are many sprinters in Japan who are very good, but there have been no particularly impressive athletes in recent years.

"What's your best time in the 100 meters right now?" Ye Qin looked at Zhang Jiehua and asked, Zhang Jiehua is going to participate in the men's 100-meter event at the National Games, he hasn't seen him for a long time, and he is also a little curious about what the other party's current results are.

"10.53 seconds!" Zhang Jiehua scratched his head, his face was a little proud and a little embarrassed, "There was a game in September. ”

Zhang Jiehua is still quite proud of this achievement, at his age, there are very few athletes in China who can run such a level in the 100 meters. Just standing in front of Ye Qin, there is nothing to be proud of when talking about this.

The men's 200m world champion, the top eight in the 400m World Championships, and the national men's 200m and 400m record holders, the titles are a long list. It can be said that the emergence of Liu Yangyu has made domestic track and field events popular, and the appearance of Ye Qin has made many people engaged in track and field work discover a possibility.

Our sprinters, we Chinese, can still achieve results in this arena.

For Zhang Jiehua's feeling, it seems to be a bit like when he was in school, Ye Qin fought hard alone, and forcibly stepped on a road that many people dare not imagine for everyone, so that those who are behind can find that everything is really possible.

"Very good, this is almost a good fight!" Ye Qin turned his head to look at Zhang Jiehua, with a look of surprise on his face, "The national team didn't invite you?" ”

He once heard Nie Fangping and Yan Ning mention Zhang Jiehua, saying that his talent actually belongs to a very good part, after the two, although Xiushui No. 2 Middle School has recruited a lot more sports students, but there are rarely such top talents as the two. After all, in sports competitions, in the final analysis, talent determines the upper limit, and the kind of amazing talent and players can not be found. And the age has reached the high school stage, and the real measure of potential is sometimes not clear.

Wen Tongshi, who came to see him in the Shenghai competition last time, is obviously also expected of this, the purpose of "combining sports and education" is to give students one more way out, Xiushui No. 2 Middle School is not a professional sports school after all, but only to provide many talented students, one more channel to enter.

And at a level like Zhang Jiehua, I don't dare to say that I will definitely be able to enter the national team, but the age is there, and the potential for growth is also there.

"Not yet." Zhang Jiehua shook his head, "But I'm not in a hurry now, let's wait another year or two." My coach said that I practiced sports too late, there were too many minor problems, and I still needed to change and practice more basics. ”

"Well, yes, after all, it's actually too late for us to practice sports." Ye Qin nodded, he and Zhang Jiehua both belonged to high school before they came into contact with professional track and field training, although they are talented, but many bad habits of running, small movements and other problems need to be changed, there are many of them, such as running and collapsing, arching back, glancing left and right, swinging arms and so on. During Ye Qin's summer vacation in Zuohai City, Haixi Province, Nie Fangping took the initiative and changed some of his bad habits little by little. The results can explode later, and it has nothing to do with this.
