"Ready!"

Syllable!

In front of the Athens Olympic Village, not too far from the Chinese delegation's residence, in front of a simple athletic field.

Yu Weili stood behind Ye Qin, Gao Shen shouted the password, his palms slapped suddenly, and a crisp slap sounded.

Before the starting line, Ye Qin rushed out at the moment when the sound behind him came.

The footsteps of the cleats and the plastic track were sounding rapidly, and after rushing out of the starting line, Ye Qin sprinted for almost forty meters in one breath, and then his speed gradually slowed down.

The beads of sweat on his forehead were sprinkled wantonly, and his breathing was a little heavy, Ye Qin slowly walked towards the starting line where Yu Weili was with his hands on his waist.

"At the start, you have to be focused, don't be distracted by any other thoughts, and move a little bit more sharply, from pedaling the runner panel to strolling."

Watching Ye Qin slowly walk back, Yu Weili walked to the starting line, made a demonstrative movement for Ye Qin with his hands and feet, and asked, "Do you know what the problem is when you run often?" ”

Ye Qin spat out a turbid breath and shook his head slightly, after practicing for more than 20 days of starting, his starting reaction and starting action progress are not obvious, this kind of targeted starting training requires long-term continuous training, and it is impossible to achieve it overnight.

"When you run, your reaction speed is not slow, what is slow is the connection of movements, that is, your starting movements are not neat and crisp." Yu Weili put his feet on the starting gear and pointed to the position of his calves and soles, "The power of the calves and thighs will explode, and they will explode in an instant, and the movements should be fast and crisp." And ......"

Yu Weili said and swung his arm slightly, "See, the swing arm is the key, after you enter the rhythm, it is very good to run whether it is a step or a swing arm, but in the starting acceleration stage, the amplitude of the swing arm is small, and there is no strong forward swinging force, which you still have to strengthen." ”

"I'll try again."

After listening to Yu Weili's words, Ye Qin nodded, and was ready to get back on the starting gear and continue to run again according to the points emphasized by Yu Weili.

"Let's take a break!" Yu Weili smiled and waved his hand, "The competition is coming soon, you are now adapting to training, don't have too much intensity." This time we came over to race in a hurry, and there are still a lot of things you can improve in terms of starting style, so let's take our time when we return home after the Olympics. ”

Saying that, Yu Weili looked at Ye Qin's eyes still on the runner, as if he was thinking about something, and couldn't help but smile, "There is a big gap between our domestic sprinters and the top runners in terms of absolute speed and speed endurance in the second half, but the gap in the start is not so big. Like Chen Jian, who ran 100 meters, you also know, his speed in front of him is still very good, although he does not have as much strength and explosiveness as European and American athletes, but the starting action is light and down, as soon as the gun sounds, the body reacts reflexively, starts, accelerates...... That's the process.

You've been running very well, especially in the 400m, and you're going to finish in the second half, but if you want to switch to the 200m, you can't just rely on the back, you have to start and accelerate in front. ”

Yu Weili gestured with his hands and feet to the main points of the action, and Ye Qin nodded again and again.

He could feel that Yu Weili was indeed a very high-level coach, and during the time he spent with him, he quickly analyzed his technical characteristics very well. And the difference with Coach Nie Fangping is probably that Yu Weili is an athlete, and many expressions can be developed from the perspective of athletes, starting from the training bureau to Athens for more than 20 days, Ye Qin feels that although the improvement of his strength is not obvious, he has learned a lot of theoretical knowledge, and through Yu Weili's guidance, even if there is no coach, he probably knows how to train to make up for his shortcomings.

"Wait for you to do a relaxing run today, it's almost over, and the race will start tomorrow, have you seen the schedule of the race?"

Yu Weili stood up from the runner in front of the starting line and looked at Ye Qin with a smile.

In the past 20 days, he has not given Ye Qin a lot of guidance, one is the time period, and the other is the run-in between coaches and athletes many times, and the competition is imminent, and he did not rashly use any new training methods to stimulate.

Moreover, every day he also has some work in the Ministry of State Administration, and he does not have a lot of time to spend on Ye Qin, only when he arrives in Athens, he really puts down other trivial matters, and has a good talk with Ye Qin before the start of the game.

In fact, the athlete has reached Ye Qin's level, after a long time of training, and he also has experience in competitions, Yu Weili knows very well that some things do not need him to nag endlessly, he still wants things that can directly achieve results and improve Ye Qin's performance in the Olympic Games.

"I've seen it, and the schedule is much better than the World Junior Championships."

Today is August 18th, and the athletics competition of the Athens Olympics has begun, but there are not many events today, only the men's and women's shot put competitions, the qualifying round in the morning and the final in the afternoon.

The official start of the project he is going to participate in will officially start on August 20 the day after tomorrow.

Ye Qin participated in the men's sprint event in the 400m and 200m, of which the men's 400m was qualified for the B standard, and the 200m was the A mark and Yang Yao competed together.

In the Olympic calendar, the men's 400m is a three-shot final, with the preliminaries, semi-finals and final.

The preliminary round starts at 21:10 on August 20, followed by the semi-finals at 21:15 on August 21, and finally the final at 21:05 on August 23.

The men's 200m race is different from his previous competitions, with a four-shot tie-off, preliminaries, semi-finals (quarter-finals), semi-finals and finals.

The times are at 10:35 on August 24, 8:00 on August 24, 22:40 on August 25 and 22:50 on August 25.

There was no clash between the 200m and 400m events that Ye Qin had at the World Junior Championships and World Junior Championships, and the men's 100m was scheduled for August 21 and August 22.

This is also a top competition like the Olympic Games, considering that many top athletes in events such as men's sprinting have concurrent, such as 100m and 200m, 200m and 400m, 100m and long jump, to a certain extent, there is a common effect, such as Carl Lewis, or Michael Johnson, these world's top athletes, they have absolute strength in both events, in order not to affect their performance, the arrangement of the competition will be more reasonable.

Seeing the first time this competition was arranged, Ye Qin felt that he breathed a sigh of relief, like the 200-meter preliminaries, semi-finals and 400-meter finals at the World Youth Championships, the intensity of three races a day is too great a test for the athletes' physical fitness and condition.

Even in a sprint event like the men's 100m, there is almost an hour of relaxation time in the semi-finals and final, let alone in the men's 200m and 400m.

"That's good! You're here to work out this time, and take a good look at the competition at this level of the Olympics! ”

Yu Weili smiled and nodded, in the past few days of adaptive training, the two have been together for the longest time.

New coaches and new athletes always have to start running in little by little, if there is a relatively long period of communication with each other, slow training, whether it is emotionally or cooperative, will reach a more compatible state.

Now it is preparing for the competition, although Yu Weili is optimistic about Ye Qin in his heart, many things are useless, but Ye Qin's performance still satisfies him.

The seventeen-year-old boy was hurriedly recruited by the national team as soon as he finished participating in the World Youth Championships to prepare for the Olympic Games. Whether it's training or life, the mood has become a little low.

Ben came to Athens, Yu Weili had thought about doing some ideological work for Ye Qin, but to his surprise, this young man who ran out of the rural township had a much better psychological adjustment ability than he thought.

On the first day on the track, the movements seemed to be a little dry, but as I ran, it seemed that I suddenly adapted to the rhythm.

This is also the aspect that Yu Weili is most optimistic about Ye Qin at present, Ye Qin's participation in the Athens Olympics, the track and field team did not give any requirements, although Ye Qin broke the national record, but the track and field team's expectations for him are lower than Yang Yao.

The main thing is to bring a big scene of insight and accumulate experience for the Yanjing Olympics in four years, after all, it can be said that it is very rare to be able to enter the Olympic Games at this age, and with Ye Qin's age, he will only be 21 years old in four years, and he will only be 26 years old in eight years, which is a high expectation.

Therefore, Yu Weili accepted Ye Qin for more than 20 days, and only took Ye Qin to practice a start, excluding other factors, which is somewhat of a formality.

"I'll just run as hard as I can."

Ye Qin nodded to show that he understood what Yu Weili meant, he felt that he came to the Olympics this time, except for Yang Yao, the team leader and other people paid less attention to him, and others were lukewarm and a little alienated from him, so that he occasionally felt a little lonely.

He didn't quite understand it at first, but after a few days of acclimatization training, it seemed that the coaches were decompressing the athletes before the competition, and then he roughly understood.

No one is looking forward to this Olympics, and the biggest purpose of coming to the competition is to train and accumulate experience in the competition. He has already passed the Olympic trials to reach the standard, and at his current level, he will not have a chance to win gold and silver, or even the semi-finals of the final, which is an absolute dilemma for the men's sprint event, and he is no exception.

Ye Qin himself knows very well what level of masters he has to face in an international arena like the Olympic Games.

Think about the world junior men's 400m champion, the American Ron Merritt, who is ahead of him by more than 0.5 seconds, but such a person can't even pass the national selection and qualify for the Olympics, and the overall level of his athletes can be imagined.

Athletics is like that, all the results speak for themselves, and you will only have that qualification when you reach that level.

But Ye Qin still has some hope in his heart, since he came to the Olympics once, not to mention the dream of an Olympic gold medal, but he must at least show his best level.

The coach and others on the track team didn't expect much from him, but he couldn't live without it himself.

Even if it's just a little bit of progress, a little bit of effort!
