Chapter 112: The 200-meter semifinals begin
Waving his hand with his back was Ye Qin's sudden idea, that is, when he stood on the camera next to the runway stands, he inadvertently remembered that he would always wave his hand like this habitually when he was separated from Chen Zixi before.
Although he noticed the camera next to him in the 400m final, and her smiling face flashed in his mind, he was a little nervous at that moment, and he didn't remember what to do.
In this 200-meter semi-final, he finally remembered after standing on the track.
"I don't know if she'll get a chance to see it, but she still has to make it to the final. If the video of the final is selected by CCTV, there may be a chance to play it. ”
When he first came to Sherbrooke, Ye Lidong jokingly told everyone before the athletes were going to play that the video of the World Junior Championships may be broadcast in China, of course, the preliminaries and semi-finals may not be reserved, mainly the video of the final, whether it is a local TV station or the IAAF, it will be saved for later reference, or sold to domestic TV stations through channels and so on.
In the 400-meter final, Ye Qin forgot about it, and he was somewhat regretful. But the 200m is continuing, and as long as he makes it to the final, there is still hope that he will be caught on camera.
Of course, whether the other party can see it or not, Ye Qin doesn't know, but he is just thinking about it at this moment.
Perhaps, one day, the other party will meet!
“On your marks!”
Before the men's 200-meter starting line, the starters sounded a reminder that they were all in place.
Ye Qin slowly withdrew his raised right hand, shook off other distractions, stared at the distance of the stadium where the curve extended, and slowly walked onto the runner.
He was in lane 5 and after the 400m race, and based on his results in the heats, he was taken seriously in the men's 200m semi-finals, occupying the middle lane.
With the experience of 400 meters, coupled with Ye Lidong's reminder, Ye Qin is much clearer about the strength of his group of competitors and the general position he is in.
Britain's Jamal Ken in the fourth lane, with a time of 21.29 seconds in the preliminaries, was the strongest in this group of semi-finals, and Ye Qin was the target of Ye Chin's attention among the other seven players.
In addition to him, there is also a Japanese player in the same group, and the opponent is not weak, running a time of 21.64 seconds in the preliminaries, and the two are the only two Asian players in this group of semi-finals.
There is also Australia's Graeme Ritter in the first lane, with a time of 21.70 seconds in the preliminaries, and the Bahamian runner in the third lane with a preliminaries of 21.84 seconds, and the other is the American Lionel Larry, who was in a group with Yechin in the preliminaries, who knew the strength level of the opponent and ran 21.73 seconds in the preliminaries.
There are only eight places in the 200m final, and it can be said that the gap between him and these players is not too big, and he needs to cheer up.
Face up to your opponents, face up to yourself.
The 400-meter final made Ye Qin very unwilling, but Ye Lidong's enlightenment also made him understand that he needs to face victory and defeat correctly.
There will only be one champion in a game, if you just look at it from this point of view, the other players will be losers, and the winners are happy, but what about the losers?
You can't keep being depressed and decadent, the game is going on, and the next game is going to be won.
From the perspective of the athlete himself, what he needs to do well is himself, and constantly surpass himself.
The preliminaries were 21.56 seconds, so in the semifinals and finals, he should be able to surpass himself.
In the future, you should continue to surpass yourself in this way.
"Knowing that I have talent and knowing what kind of ability God has given me, then I must grasp it well and not live up to it!"
Yan Ning once told him not to let him live up to his talent, at that time he didn't have the same experience as now, but now he feels that he has a different feeling.
Don't live up to the expectations of others, because you will take responsibility, and don't live up to your own strengths, because you are what you are good at!
On this track, none of the competitors in these competitions are not the best in their respective countries at this age, and everyone belongs to the group of talented people, but none of them can get on this field after only one year of training like him.
Lowering his head and pressing his fingers on the cold plastic track, Ye Qin gently adjusted his breathing, waiting for the gunshots of the game to sound.
At this moment, Ye Qin felt that he seemed to be no longer fearless and confused!
This is the racetrack, and when I get on this track, I just want to run, to be the fastest runner!
“SET!”
The prepared voice of the starter on the sidelines sounded.
In the open outdoor stadium, this sound was not too clear to many spectators in the stands, but the athletes in the stadium were all highly concentrated, and they got up at the same time and made a starting gesture.
Syllable!
Race guns rang out!
The moment Ye Qin heard the gunshot, his feet suddenly stepped on the starting block and began to start accelerating.
As soon as he ran out, Ye Qin felt that his start was not bad, although it may not be as fast as the preliminaries, but it should not be much different.
Get started, add up your speed as fast as you can!
Don't think about whether your movements are in place or not, and run completely with the smoothest instinct of your body.
Step by step, your speed will be steadily increased.
It's 200 meters, and he's long enough to get the fastest speed!
10 meters, 20 meters, 30 meters......
The acceleration phase of the start has basically passed, and the runners of the other courses have begun to raise their heads and get up and enter the middle run.
At this moment, he could almost feel that the fourth British player Jamal Ken next to him was about to overtake him in the corner, and the opponent's starting acceleration was far faster than Ye Chin, and the difference of several meters brought by the number of stretches before the start was almost overtaken by him at this time.
But Ye Chin still did not look up.
Maintain your rhythm, run with a long stride and a powerful stride, and avoid adjusting your posture too quickly, as raising your head too quickly will affect your momentum.
At this time, Ye Qin suddenly felt a figure in front of him suddenly pause.
Lionel Larry, an American in lane six, suddenly slowed down and was already accelerating, but turned into a one-legged jump.
They crossed each other in an instant, Ye Qin just swept the corner of his eye, and did not pay attention to each other, still burying his head in the acceleration.
One of the key points of a sprint race is to keep your focus on the track where you save money, watching your opponents from side to side will only slow you down, and doing nothing will affect you while running.
This point was repeatedly emphasized by both Yan Ning at the beginning and Nie Fangping later.
It sounds easy to do, but during the run, the competitors will inadvertently pay attention to the position of their opponents, even the top athletes, and all they have to do is to look forward and look at their track.
Forty meters, fifty meters......
The remaining seven runners were on the corner, the speed was at a high speed, and the British runner in lane 4 had already entered the maximum speed stage of the way, almost on par with Ye Chin, and the strong strength of the opponent was brought into full play at this time.
The instantaneous outbursts of other runners are far more than Ye Qin, and most of the players who can run 200 meters are not weak in terms of starting speed and core strength, at least compared to Ye Qin at this time, it is far exceeded.
In the stands on the sidelines, at the moment when the game gun rang out, everyone in the stands of the Chinese delegation suddenly fell silent as if there was a tacit understanding, staring at the runway one by one, as if they were so nervous that they didn't dare to make a sound.
