"Qualified!"

Ye Qin gently thumped the plastic track, and before the results came out, he felt that he should make it to the final, and at the end of the run, only he and Britain's Jamal Ken were left.

But before the results came out, he was a little unsure, and he also wanted to see how much worse he was from Jamal Ken.

0.12 seconds!

"In the next game, I should be able to go a little faster." Ye Qin silently looked at Jamal Ken, who was a little cheering, this player was also black, not tall, but very stout, but compared to the other black players he had seen in the past few days, his skin tone did not seem to be so dark.

Advancing to the 200m final as top of his semi-final group, Jamal Ken looked quite excited. 21.25 seconds is also the best time set by the opponent.

However, Ye Qin also refreshed his PB, his semi-final results were really much faster than his preliminaries, and he also somewhat understood what Ye Lidong said that he wanted to go out and see the world.

If you want to improve, you need to go to a bigger circle and see better players and levels, whether it is on the field or training off the field, which is a kind of stimulation for yourself.

And it may be the habit of running 400 meters, and the gap between the runners is often relatively large, 0.2 seconds, 0.3 seconds, 0.5 seconds, and even one or two seconds are common, so when he saw the 0.12 second gap between himself and Jamal Ken, Ye Qin did not feel that this result was too far away.

After the semi-finals of the second group, Ye Qin, as before, did not leave the field, but went to the stands of the Chinese team and found a seat to sit down.

He also wants to see how the semi-finals of the third group are, pay attention to your opponent, examine each other, and then take a serious look at yourself, this is what Ye Qin has learned through the competition and Ye Lidong and others in the World Junior Championships so far.

Soon after, the 200-meter starting line at the Sherbrooke University Stadium welcomed eight athletes from the third group of the men's 200-meter semifinals of this year's World Junior Championships.

It was no surprise that there was the black Jamaican teenager that Yechin had noticed before, Yusse Bote, this is the name of the other party, he had memorized it when he looked at the results of the preliminary round.

The yellow sprinter has a number 290 number plate on his chest and back, and he is thin and tall, standing in the middle of the eight runners like a telephone pole standing alone.

However, this thinness is only relative to his height, and the muscles of the exposed arms and thighs are still very clear, and the arm circumference and leg circumference may not be much worse than that of young people of the same age.

Ye Qin once heard Nie Fangping say that the selection of sprinters is generally not too high, because although tall athletes have a large stride, they often start slowly and are not explosive enough, and large strides are more suitable for middle-distance running above 400 meters.

But this black Jamaican teenager broke this stereotype of Yechin, and the other party was really too high.

In Xiushui County, a small southern county, Ye Qin's height is actually not low, but compared with the other party, it is a big difference.

This is the first time Ye Qin has watched this black teenager's competition, when the opponent competed before, he was waiting, and the only 400m semi-final that had an intersection was the opponent's withdrawal.

After the gunshots rang out in the game, Ye Qin saw that the other party's start was indeed not particularly fast, but it was still much better than him, and the cadence was also very fast, the stride was large and powerful, and the speed quickly added up after dozens of meters, and Ye Qin could feel that the other party was faster than himself, and the absolute speed was faster than himself.

Almost only sixty meters, still in the corner, Ye Qin could already see that the other party had clearly surpassed the other players and easily ran to the first position.

Soon the corners entered the straight, and the opponent had already begun to take the lead, and the other players behind him were pulled apart by three meters, five meters, and seven meters, and the gap was getting bigger and bigger.

By the last fifty meters, it was obvious that the opponent was letting go, and there was an obvious movement of looking left and right, as if after confirming that there was no opponent around, he just ran down with the inertia of his body.

But Rao was like this, and when the results of the timing cards came out, Ye Qin was still taken aback.

21.08 seconds!

It was only slightly slower than the American Mike Grant in the first group of the semi-finals, and this was on the premise that the opponent was letting go of the water.

"Ye Qin, what do you think of his run?"

Zhou Bin, the leader of the team who was sitting on the seat next to Ye Qin, seemed to notice that Ye Qin's eyes were a little dull, and seemed to be looking at the black boy who easily won the first place in the group in the field, and suddenly asked softly.

"I can't outrun him right now."

Ye Qin came back to his senses, was silent for a while, thought about it seriously, and gave an answer.

There is nothing to be ashamed of in facing your opponent and facing yourself.

Unlike the British player Jamal Ken he met in the semi-finals, the opponent's time of 21.25 seconds was obviously a desperate effort to run this result, even if Ye Qin had a gap with the opponent, in his opinion, there was still a possibility of catching up.

And this black teenager from Jamaica, he does feel that there is a huge gap.

Zhou Bin looked at Ye Qin's reaction, the corners of his mouth twitched, and a smile appeared, "Don't be discouraged, this player has fought with you a few times, and he is much more powerful than you think." He won the men's 200m at the 2002 World Junior Championships and the youngest ever champion at the World Junior Championships, with a time of 20.61 seconds, and our national men's 200m record is only 20.51 seconds. ”

"Hmm." Ye Qin took a breath lightly, and for a moment he seemed to have a feeling of being stimulated, he really didn't expect that this black player he had bumped into several times would run such an amazing result.

"For us, you are proud of such a performance in this World Junior Championships, and now it is not in the country, if there is a National Middle School Games, your results in the semi-finals just now have broken the national middle school men's 200m record."

As if he was afraid of hitting Ye Qin, Zhou Bin said with a smile, he had chosen to participate in this World Junior Championships before, and he had seen the records and results of last year's National Middle School Games, one of the men's 200m records was 21.40 seconds, if calculated according to Ye Qin's results, he had already broken the national middle school student record.

"Thank you for your guidance Zhou, I will face up to my shortcomings and correct my mentality."

Ye Qin took a deep breath, showed a smile at Zhou Binqiang, but his hands propped up on the seat were silently clenched into fists, his eyes were burning at the arena in the distance, and he said silently mentally, "I just can't outrun him now, I've only been practicing for a year, and there will be a chance later." Also, the final hasn't started yet, so I'm not going to throw in the towel so early. ”

"Oh, yes." Zhou Bin didn't pay attention to Ye Qin's actions and thoughts, or that it was natural to have such a competitive idea, but instead said another thing, "Ye Qin, you are still training in your high school now, right, is it Nie ...... That Coach Nie Fangping instructed you, right? ”

"Yes, our Xiushui No. 2 Middle School now has its own track and field team, and Coach Nie is teaching us to practice track and field." Ye Qin replied, a little unsure of what Zhou Bin meant by suddenly mentioning this.

"Your school has its own track and field team, huh?" Zhou Bin was a little interested, "Tell me, how is your school's track and field team?" ”

Many middle schools in China have organized their own track and field teams, but according to Zhou Bin's understanding, Xiushui No. 2 Middle School is a third-rate high school in a small county, and it is still relatively rare to be able to do it.

To be honest, before Ye Qin won the bronze medal in the men's 400m final, both he and Ye Lidong, although they paid attention to Ye Qin, they really didn't go to understand it in detail, so they took a look at the information from Haixi Province and had a brief communication with Nie Fangping.

"Our track and field team was established after the provincial youth championships in March......," Ye Qin said briefly about the track and field team of Xiushui No. 2 Middle School.

"I see, it's not easy."

After listening to Ye Qin's general statement, Zhou Bin bowed his head slightly, and patted Ye Qin lightly, "Ye Qin, you work hard, this is your first time going abroad in Sherbrooke, and in the future, it is estimated that there will be many opportunities." And your headmaster is quite right, you can already go to Yanjing and Mizuki now. ”

"Huh?!" Ye Qin's eyes widened, wondering if he had heard it wrong.

Zhou Bin looked at Ye Qin's expression and couldn't help laughing, "You are already a strong player in 400 meters, and 200 meters is about the same, don't worry, those schools will come to you." For the next two years, you'll be in school when you have time, and it's not a bad thing to learn a little bit about culture. However, the main thing is to train and improve yourself, this time we are here for the World Junior Championships, and next year I hope to take you to Italy again for the World Junior Championships. And in five years it will be our Olympic Games in Yanjing, and you will be the right age at that time, young man, work hard! ”
