Chapter 101 200m Heats (Part II)
"Ye Qin, let's stop talking nonsense, your performance has already surpassed the tone of me and Director Ye, you can enjoy the game!"
In the check-in area, Zhou Bin and Ye Lidong both stood beside them, and after watching Ye Qin finish warming up, he gently patted his somewhat floating number plate, and encouraged with a smile.
"yes, I see!"
Ye Qin nodded, the leaders of the two teams did not keep unburdening themselves like the previous times, and seemed to see that his mentality was not nervous, but just a good word of encouragement.
This feeling makes Ye Qin very comfortable, sometimes he may not be nervous, but he is artificially created by the atmosphere, and he becomes a little overwhelmed.
The feeling of this World Junior Championships has made Ye Qin's mentality change a lot, and it seems to be the feeling of re-understanding himself and the world.
Assembled, roll call, and soon Ye Chin and seven other players from various countries and regions lined up and entered the Sherbrooke University Stadium under the guidance of a volunteer from the University of Sherbrooke.
On the big screen at the scene, the information of the third group of the men's 200m preliminaries of this World Junior Championships also appeared on the big screen.
First, Yechin, China;
Second Lane, Oluwa-Ogunde, Nigeria;
third, Aung San Wai, Myanmar;
Fourth Road, Yu Lianglong, HK;
Fifth Way, Lionel Larry, USA;
Sixth lane, Mario Herrera, Mexico;
Seventh Lane, Frank Presa, Namibia;
Eighth lane, Ariston Porter, Australia;
Among the seven competitors, Namibia's Frank Presa Yechin of lane 7 remembers very well that the two ran together in the semi-finals of the 400m yesterday and coincidentally were placed in a group in the men's 200m heats.
In addition, in this group of preliminaries, Ye Qin met two Asian runners of the same skin color as him, one of whom was similar in appearance to himself, with a red background and white bauhinia on the chest of his sprint suit. is a player from the Hong Kong Island Special Administrative Region, whose name is Yu Lianglong.
The other one has darker skin, a player from Myanmar.
In the men's sprint track event of this World Junior Championships, Ye Qin has noticed that there are not many yellow athletes in East Asia, only he and a South Korean male athlete in the 400 meters, and in the 200 meters, in addition to Ye Qin, there are also Yu Lianglong from Hong Kong Island and two athletes from Japan.
"There are a lot of people today!"
As soon as Ye Qin entered the stadium of the University of Sherbrooke, he heard a much louder commotion than yesterday, looked up, and found that there were many more people in the stands of the stadium today than in the previous days.
The first three days of the tournament were held on weekdays, and both the University of Sherbrooke and other residents of the surrounding area came to watch the games, and today, July 12, happened to be the weekend, although the weather was not too good, with light rain and a bit of wet and cold, there were only more than 3,000 seats in the stands of the University of Sherbrooke Stadium, and almost all of them were filled.
Standing in front of the men's 200-meter starting line, Ye Qin casually glanced at the stands, probably because there were too many spectators, and the cheerleading team composed of the Chinese team that could be seen at a glance a few days ago has become extremely inconspicuous in today's thousands of spectators.
After looking at the original stand position for a long time, he noticed that as for the cheering sound, he could see the familiar faces and voices in the stands shouting something, but it may be far away, and the scene is relatively noisy, so he can't hear it clearly.
Ye Qin didn't pay much attention to the stands, despite the two men's 400m races, standing at the starting line of the men's 200m preliminaries, his mentality adjusted very well.
He runs a lot in the 400 meters and relatively little in the 200 meters, after all, this event has always been regarded as a sub-event by Nie Fangping and Yan Ning, but Ye Qin's feeling for the 200 meters is actually similar to that of a black teenager.
It is easier to run 200 meters than 400 meters, whether it is training or competition, for those who have practiced 400 meters, the tolerance of lactic acid is relatively strong, and the distance of 200 meters rushes to the end in one breath, and there will be some discomfort in the body after running like 400 meters.
For the 200m, Yechin is a little more relaxed, and he is now thinking more about the 400m final in the evening. However, since there is a sign up, it is natural to go all out and strive to be able to advance, or even run to the finals, or even win the championship.
This feeling is very peculiar, when I was studying, it seemed that I just thought about doing my best, and never thought that I had to be the first in the exam. It seems that his grades in reading from childhood to adulthood are not particularly good, but in the township primary and secondary schools are not bad, it seems that he recognized his mediocrity in this area very early, and he can only work hard to catch up with others, and he does not have that feeling of competitiveness in his heart.
And when he arrived at the track and the arena, he had a few competitions and high school entrance examinations in junior high school, and he didn't feel very obvious, but since the school games in Xiushui No. 2 Middle School, as long as he stood on the track, he always wanted to be the first to cross the finish line.
Although Ye Qin has registered as an athlete, he has not been training for less than a year, and his mentality has not yet been completely reversed.
Just walked on the runway, met many people and things, was discovered by talent, and selected to go on the field.
But step by step, he seems to gradually begin to feel, as if he only has a runway, only a race, he becomes valuable and meaningful.
Why did he run for the reason, he couldn't give an answer all at once!
But he felt like he was close!
“On your marks!” The voice of the starter on the sidelines rang out.
Ye Qin took a light breath, focused his attention on the upcoming race, and slowly walked onto the runner.
200 meters is not better than 400 meters, although the requirements for starting reaction and acceleration are lower than 100 meters, but compared to 400 meters, it is still enough to be focused.
Face up to your own shortcomings and weaknesses, and then make up for them as much as possible while playing to your strengths.
The mind is more focused, and the ears are pricked up, listening to the upcoming gunshots!
“SET!”
The voice of preparation sounded, and Ye Qin felt as if his breath was holding his breath. The noise in the stands of more than 3,000 people at the Sherbrooke stadium was much louder than the previous two days, but at this moment he could not hear it at all!
Syllable!
A crisp gunshot rang out, and white smoke rose in front of the starting line!
The eight players started suddenly in the corner, and Ye Qin suddenly started to accelerate the moment he heard the gunshot. There was a cacophony of grinding between the spikes on the feet and the pedals of the running aids, and the strong footwork seemed to be about to tear the track underfoot
It seems that because of his mental concentration, his starting reaction has improved a lot compared to the 400m heats and semifinals, reaching 0.213 seconds.
But despite his improved starting reflexes compared to his own, Yechin was the second-to-last runner in the same group, just a little faster than Nigeria's Oluwa Ogunde's 0.229 seconds, with the other six all under 0.2 seconds.
Among them, Mexico's Mario Herrera and the American Lionel Larry had the fastest starting reactions, with their starting reactions of 0.147 and 0.155, respectively.
However, the game has just begun!
