"Liu Yangyu Ye Qin won the championship, and the flyer laughed and said that he didn't work hard after half the race"

In the men's 110-meter hurdles race at the IAAF Grand Prix Osaka Station on May 7, due to Johnson's absence, the men's 110-meter hurdles competition on the day lacked suspense, and Liu Yangyu easily won the championship with a time of 13.12 seconds. This is also Liu Yangyu's second consecutive title in this event after beating Alan Johnson at the Osaka Grand Prix in '04 and breaking the Asian record.

In addition, Ye Qin, who just set a new national men's 400m record in early April, won the men's 400m championship in Osaka with a time of 45.34 seconds. After the race, according to Yechin's coach Randy Hunter, the overall level of the Grand Prix is not high, and Yechin has more potential to explore. Before this year's World Championships, Ye Qin will temporarily put aside domestic competitions and go all out to compete in the IAAF World Tour, training with competitions, and striving to have a better performance in the World Championships.

"Athletics Twins Shine in Osaka"

On May 7, the men's 110m hurdles Olympic champion Liu Yangyu won the Osaka Grand Prix again, because there was no challenge from too strong opponents, Liu Yangyu said after the race that it was easy to win.

The national men's 200m and 400m record holder, Ye Qin also won the gold medal in the Osaka Grand Prix men's 400m at the Osaka race.

In the post-race interview, Ye Qin said frankly that he hopes to compete in the men's 200m event with last year's World Championships third runner-up and current Asian men's 200m record holder Shingo Suesu, and the top players will help improve his personal competitive level.

Ye Chin: I'm a newcomer to the international arena

On May 7, Ye Qin, who had just won the men's 400-meter championship at the Osaka Grand Prix, said in an interview with reporters after returning to China that he was still a newcomer in the international arena, but he only won one Osaka Grand Prix, and there were still many games in the future, and he needed to work harder. As for the media listing him and Liu Yangyu as twin stars, Ye Qin said that he is far from being as good as Liu Yangyu's achievements, but he will work harder, hoping to be worthy of such an honor one day.

……

Waco, Texas, USA.

The campus at Baylor University is quite quiet, except for a track and field field in the north of Baylor University, near the residence hall, where people start training early.

"You kid is diligent enough, he had a jet lag yesterday, and he came to train today."

On the sidelines of the track and field, Yang Yao casually handed a towel to Ye Qin, who had just warmed up after 6 laps of morning running, and gently slapped his shoulder with his hand.

"Time is too tight."

Ye Qin wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead and neck with a towel, and let out a long breath, "The game is coming up on June 4th, and the coach attaches great importance to this game, and he was not very satisfied with my performance in the Osaka Grand Prix last time." ”

"I'm not satisfied with the results of forty-five seconds, your coach is strict enough." Yang Yao shouted in some surprise, and then shook his head slightly, "But it's normal, your coach Randy Hunter is the world's top coach, and the forty-five second score really doesn't move him." I was training under Clyde Hart in the same way, and he didn't bother to take care of the 200m as long as he didn't run 21 seconds. In the eyes of their top coaches, our results are still a lot worse. ”

"Brother Yang, did you learn anything special from Coach Clyde?" Ye Qin raised his legs on the spot, and then asked with a smile at Yang Yao.

After last year's Olympic Games, the Athletics Management Center sent team leader Cai You, coaches Li Renjia and Ma Shiren, as well as four sprinters, including Yang Yaozu, Jiang Bo, Zhou Jiamin, and Hu Cheng, to study in the United States to study under Michael Johnson and his coach Clyde Hart.

After following Randy Hunter to the United States this time, Yechin did not go directly to Eugene, Oregon, but went to Baylor University first. As the world's top coach, Randy Hunter is quite familiar with Clyde Hart, who is also a top coach, and there happened to be Chinese athletes training here, so he took this opportunity to directly bring Ye Qin over to train in the United States.

Clyde Hart's impressive achievements in the men's 200m and men's 400m sprints have produced two world record holders like Michael Johnson, who was also trained by white athlete Jimmy Warner, who won the 400m at last year's Athens Olympics.

The gathering of Chinese athletes from the two sides was naturally quite overjoyed, and last night Yang Yao's coach Li Renjia even sold vegetables and cooked them himself, making an original local dish to entertain everyone.

"The training method used by Coach Clyde is a bit similar to the way you used to train under Coach Nie, all according to the weekly progress mode." Yang Yao said with a smile.

The training plan that Nie Fangping once formulated for Ye Qin is the mode of weekly training, and the main reason is that Ye Qin needed to study in class at that time, and the mode of weekly training could match the students' living habits in time, which was conducive to Ye Qin's concentration and stimulation of the physical state.

After Ye Qin won the championship of the City Games in 03, the winter training was at the Xinzhuang training base, and Yang Yao followed Ye Qin to practice under Nie Fangping for a period of time, so he was still familiar with this.

"The weekly training mode is really good."

Ye Qin nodded, most of the athletes' training modes are cyclical in nature, for example, ten days, fifteen days, or according to the week, Ye Qin used to follow Nie Fangping's weekly plan training mode, which feels actually very effective.

However, in last year's winter training, in order to disrupt his inherent training mode, Randy Hunter has appeared in cycles from three days to twelve days, which has disrupted Yechin's inherent training cycle.

Yang Yao organized the language a little, and then said, "After practicing for a few months, there are some things that I can't say at once, but what I have learned is that the training plan is short, fast-paced, and efficient; Pay attention to the cultivation of special running ability. In terms of arranging strength training, there are many means, the number of sets is small, the interval time is short, the pace is fast, and there is a great emphasis on the development of upper body strength and balance strength. Do you think my arms are a little thicker now than they used to be? ”

Yang Yao said, stretched out his arm, and made a bodybuilding strong man movement.

"It seems to be a little stronger."

Ye Qin looked at Yang Yao carefully and smiled. When I came yesterday, when I saw Yang Yao for the first time, I found that his body shape looked more well-proportioned than when I saw him when I returned to China from the Athens Olympics, and he should have improved a lot in terms of personal strength.

"You can hurry up and ask Coach Clyde more recently, although your Coach Randy is very good, he is a long jumper. Coach Clyde is the special men's 200m and 400m coach. ”

After Yang Yao posed, he then said with a smile, "If only you had come to the United States with me to train, I estimate that you may have improved more than Jiang Bo and Hu Cheng now." ”

Jiang Bo and Hu Cheng are both athletes in the 400m special, and on May 14, Yang Yao, Jiang Bo and Hu Cheng participated in a track and field competition held in Atlanta.

Because the game was not in the training program, it was only arranged by the American coach three or four days before the game, and it was a four-hour flight away from the location. Without adequate mental preparation and a little fatigue, the trio participated in the competition.

Yang Yao participated in the men's 100-meter and 200-meter races, and Jiang Bo and Hu Cheng participated in the 400-meter race. The 100m is 10.40 seconds, and the 200m is around 20.88 seconds.

In 2004, Jiang Bo ran the 400m in 400 seconds in 47.05 seconds, 47.12 seconds, 47.30 seconds, 47.90 seconds and 48.14 seconds, and this time he ran 46.88 seconds, which is a significant improvement.

Another athlete, Hu Cheng, ranked 70th in the country in the 400-meter run in 2004, with a best time of only 48.78 seconds, and this time the track was 48.05 seconds, which can be regarded as fruitful.

Of course, in comparison, Ye Qin's progress is slightly more than that of several people, especially when his own personal 400-meter strength is strong, there is still a relatively large improvement.

"It's great to have Coach Randy to guide me."

Ye Qin didn't have any envy after listening to a few people talk about his achievements, he had grown accustomed to staying under Randy Hunter, and he felt that there was a lot to learn.

As he spent a long time in the national team, Ye Qin gradually understood a lot of things. Under the strategy of "going out and bringing in" of the Tianguan Center, Yang Yao and them are a group of people who go out, and Ye Qin is a group of people who have been introduced.

At this time, the Athletics Management Center also compared the athletes under the two strategic plans to see which way is more suitable for the sprinting event of Chinese track and field.

At that time, the team didn't think about letting Ye Qin go out, but he was younger than other athletes in terms of age, and he was not yet an adult, so it would be more troublesome to go abroad for long-term training. The other is that he still has high school studies, which he can't accept himself.
