"Gold medal, another gold medal!"

On July 13, in the stands of the University Stadium in Sherbrooke, the crowd of the Chinese team cheered again.

In the women's javelin competition that started at 9 o'clock in the morning, Xiao Juan, a female player led by coach Wang Shouyang, won the gold medal in the women's javelin.

"This Coach Wang really has a hand!"

Zhou Bin kept clapping in the stands, looking at the just-concluded women's shot put event in the arena, his face seemed to be about to smile a flower.

Wang Shouyang, the gold medal coach from the Southern Jiangsu Provincial Sports School, has to be impressive in training young athletes in the throwing event.

He brought four athletes into the Chinese team to participate in the World Junior Championships, and so far, all three players have won gold medals, and there is also a men's discus event, which is also the strongest contender for the championship.

Thinking of this, Zhou Bin couldn't help but look at the other side, after the women's shot put final, Ye Lidong had already taken Ye Qin to the check-in area to start preparing for the warm-up.

In the first World Junior Championships in 99, the Chinese team won four gold medals and three silver medals, including one for men and women in the long jump, and the other two women's discus and women's shot put, all of which were won by the female athlete Hong Mei led by Coach Wang Shouyang.

In the second quarter of the World Junior Championships in 01, the Chinese team only won two gold medals, one was a men's discus thrower led by coach Wang Shouyang, and the other was a men's 5000-meter race walk.

And in this World Junior Championships, if it weren't for Ye Qin's dark horse, I am afraid that the Chinese team would have to rely on the four athletes led by Coach Wang Shouyang to support it.

He admires Wang Shouyang's ability to train many outstanding young athletes in the throwing event, but from the perspective of the team leader, it is even more gratifying to be able to achieve some achievements in other events.

Ye Qin's performance in the 200-meter preliminaries and 400-meter finals yesterday made Zhou Bin faintly feel that if this teenager continues to practice hard, the sprint event of Chinese track and field should have something to do, at least in Asia, there is still a good chance.

After all, Ye Qin's physical condition, in his eyes, is still a somewhat thin young man, such as core strength and other aspects are gradually improving, and his grades will definitely be able to go to a higher level.

The training of track and field athletes, especially sprinters, is different from that of throwing athletes, and the selection of materials is not only about body size and strength. With the performance of Liu Feng, Jiang Minli and Xiao Juan, who won the championship, their physical development is mature enough, and it is needless to say that they are competitive in the youth stage, but it is difficult to say how much they can improve when they enter the adult world series.

There are generally two types of players who start winning awards at the youth stage and become top athletes until they enter world-class competitions as adults. A somewhat ripening ingredient is in, through high-intensity training, artificially elevated in the adolescent stage. The results among peers are naturally good enough, but the potential is exhausted prematurely, and the ceiling is reached, and it will probably be difficult to have big development in the future.

And Ye Qin, in Zhou Bin's opinion, is undoubtedly the former.

Needless to say, even if he is asked to take Ye Qin now, he is sure that he will make Ye Qin's performance go to a big step in a year or two, but there are too many things to train.

……

"Lionel Larry, this player is in the same group as me again."

In front of the indoor check-in area, Ye Qin held the list of 200m semi-finals that he had just received from Ye Lidong, and saw at a glance the American athlete in the same group he met in the preliminaries.

In his men's 200m heats yesterday, he was very impressed, Lionel Larry, an American who almost led the first 150 meters in the heats, and he only overtook his opponent in the last few tens of meters, which can be said to be a fierce rival. Just like what happened in the 400m final, this is the first time he has encountered such a high-level athlete in the 200m

"The strength of this American player is still good, Ye Qin, you look at the preliminaries of other players, many players are very strong, you have to have a bottom in your heart, in addition to staring at the results that are better than you, but also pay attention to those preliminaries The results are not much different from yours, think back to whether you have reservations when you see them playing, their technical characteristics."

Ye Lidong watched Ye Qin notice the preliminaries of the members of the second group of his semifinals, and then reminded him to see the preliminaries results of other players.

He has not directly led athletes to train, and he participated in the first two sessions as the head of the World Junior Championships, and he can still give guidance on the field.

"Thank you, Director Ye."

Ye Qin nodded and quickly looked at the results of the other preliminaries.

As Ye Lidong said, in the track and field event, it is still very important to understand the level and characteristics of your opponents.

Ye Qin saw the results of the other runners at a glance, his preliminaries time was 21.56 seconds, and there were five runners in front of him.

The first runner in the preliminaries was also an American runner, Mike Gretel, 20.88 seconds, the only runner in the preliminaries to run 21 seconds, with the letters PB behind his time, which means that this is a personal best set by the opponent.

Second place was Jamaica's Yusse Bote, who was most memorable, the black Jamaican teenager who faked injury on the track and retired in the 400m, with a time of 21.12 seconds.

Third and fourth were two British runners with a time of 21.29 and 21.35 seconds, and another was Bahrain's Maimat Saad Rahidi with a time of 21.50 seconds.

After reading the results of the preliminaries, Ye Qin raised his head and glanced at Ye Lidong, and understood what the other party meant.

After yesterday's 400m final, he lost for the first time, and Ye Lidong comforted him, but also wanted him to understand his opponent and recognize the situation.

Unlike the 400m, the 200m will be closer to each other, but it will be harder to catch up. Judging from the results of the preliminaries, Ye Qin probably knows that the first place American Mike Gretel and the second place Jamaican player, the black teenager Eusse Bote, he still has a certain difficulty in catching up with the two.

And this is the result of the preliminary round, and these two players, and even the other players, may have reservations.

"Just run with all your might, just run your best individual time."

Ye Lidong gently patted Ye Qin's shoulder, and the more he touched, the more he gradually discovered the pride hidden in the heart of this peaceful young man.

He didn't want to hit Ye Qin, during the 400-meter preliminaries, Ye Qin saw the results of other athletes, and the gap was not obvious, which may have made Ye Qin misestimate the situation, after all, it was the first time to go on the international stage, but the 200-meter ...... Ye Lidong felt that it was still necessary to remind him.

"Ye Qin, I know that you don't admit defeat, athletes don't admit defeat, they all want to be the one who wins, you should see more of the wide world at your current age! When you know others, you see more, you know yourself better, and you can make progress! Keep up this competitive spirit and keep up the good work! ”

After the men's 400m final, Ye Lidong already felt Ye Qin's strong desire to compete, but because of this, Ye Lidong wanted Ye Qin to recognize and understand the strength level of other athletes.

It is definitely a good thing for young people to have a competitive spirit, but they should not be arrogant and fail to recognize their own level and achievements.

This is the track and field arena, no matter how great and powerful the athlete is, he will grow up step by step.

No one can reach the top from the day they set foot on the track and field with a complete victory, and all the way needs ups and downs. No one won't lose, but it's okay if you lose, just win it back next time.

"Hmm." Ye Qin took a breath lightly, nodded solemnly, returned the report card of the 200-meter runner preliminaries in his hand to Ye Lidong, turned his head, walked to the track, and began to warm up.
