Chapter 292: Take a Break
"It was a good run!"
As soon as Ye Qin came up from the track, before he left the athletes' mixed passage area, he saw Chen Zhongzhou holding a towel and a coat in his hand, already waiting for him.
"It's okay." Ye Qin took the coat calmly, there was nothing to say about the competition, this is the preliminaries, and the challenge is still to come.
"Let's go, hurry up and get some rest."
Chen Zhongzhou also nodded when he heard this, after indeed experiencing the Olympic Games and many Grand Prix, Ye Qin's mentality is getting better and better, and he has been able to treat the preliminaries of the World Championships very calmly.
"Brother Chen, I really want to watch the next game."
Ye Qin put on his coat, wiped the sweat on his forehead and neck with a towel, and looked back at the noisy and boiling Saihang, with a bit of nostalgia in his eyes.
He had already seen the roster of players before, and many people were not familiar with it, but he also knew quite a few people, such as Eusai Bote, Jax Thelin, Wallace Spearmon, and Yang Yao who would play in the final set of preliminaries.
"Yes!" Chen Zhongzhou smiled, "Just wait for the 400-meter preliminaries to be eliminated, and then we can focus on running 200 meters, we will now go to the stand to find Coach Randy, just to see how the overall level of the athletes in this World Championships is." ”
"Tell me about it." Ye Qin pursed his lips and exhaled lightly, "Let's go, I have to hurry up and sleep." ”
Chen Zhongzhou looked at Ye Qin's expression, and couldn't help but show a helpless smile, "I knew you would be like this, you can take it easy." ”
After getting along for a long time, Chen Zhongzhou's understanding of Ye Qin has become deeper and deeper, although Feng Shuyou and Yu Weili held a meeting and asked Ye Qin to focus on one project, but Chen Zhongzhou knew that with Ye Qin's temperament, he must want to run both.
"In a few months, I wanted to try and see what kind of results I could achieve."
Ye Qin nodded, starting from the men's 200-meter race, he actually had an idea in his heart.
In the men's 200m and men's 400m events, there must be a trade-off, this is not the World Junior Championships, but the World Championships, and the opponents and the level of the competition are completely different.
But if you don't try to let go of the run and test what kind of results you can produce after changing the rhythm and pace of the 400 meters, you must be unwilling.
In fact, don't talk about Chen Zhongzhou, even Feng Shuyou, Yu Weili and others are also entangled, it is of course the best to be able to achieve results in both projects, but in competitive sports competitions, after all, you can't really achieve anything if you have that heart.
How strong are the 200 meters and 400 meters, and the physical requirements in the competition are the limits.
The reason why the 200m is chosen is also obvious, Ye Qin's current 200m level is already close to the top level, and the Olympic Games can enter the finals, and the 400m has the same potential, but compared with the world's top level, it needs to be further improved.
Following behind Chen Zhongzhou and passing through the mixed passage, Ye Qin soon came to a waiting area assigned by his team.
Ye Qin first opened his backpack, ate two pieces of high-calorie chocolate, ate a banana, added a little salt water, and after sitting for a while, he walked directly to the massage table next to him, used the backpack as a pillow, and lay down to start taking a nap.
Ye Qin used to participate in the World Youth Championships and the World Junior Championships, and there were times when there were also time conflicts in the 200m and 400m events, but at that time, his adjustment was mainly to sit and rest, or relax his muscles, and walk slowly.
And after Randy Hunter took over, Ye Qin actually made some preparations before the game for the schedule conflict that Ye Qin faced at the World Championships, that is, after the game, take time to take a 15-minute to 30-minute nap.
Sleep is the best way to regain physical and mental health, not only for normal nighttime sleep, but also for many athletes who participate in multiple events and compete in a very high intensity competition.
Like the semi-finals and finals of the men's 100-meter Olympic Games, the general interval time is only about two hours, and many weaker players have almost reached the limit after the semi-finals. At this time, many athletes will have a massage to relax and a short sleep break with their eyes closed.
In competitive sports, especially those with intense schedules such as soccer and basketball, in addition to various physical coaches, tactical coaches, technical coaches, etc., there is also a little-known sleep coach.
One of the well-known is the Premier League player Ryan Giggs's sleep coach Nick Ritthehyges, Nick Ritterhajs is the president of the British Sleep Association, he was invited by Manchester United to give a discussion to the players, a total of six people came, and only Ryan Giggs stayed, and studied under Nick Ritterhajes to learn more about sleep.
With a good night's sleep and regular yoga routine, the 32-year-old made 32 Premier League appearances for the Reds, scoring six goals and providing 11 assists.
And his legend continues!
……
"Ye Qin is really the first in the group, Yusse, it seems that you know this Asian player very well."
On the other side, next to the warm-up track, Yusey Both, who had finished his warm-up, was chatting with a bald black man who was slightly shorter than him, but more powerful and powerful.
The black man, who was not wearing a tracksuit but a casual outfit, said to Yusse Bot in surprise after hearing the news of the first group of the men's 200m heats.
"He's kind of a friend I've met in the Ring, Asa." Yusse Bot grinned, "We met in 2003 at the World Junior Championships in Sherbrooke, Canada, when he was third and I was the champion. ”
"But last time at the New York Grand Prix, he beat you?" The bald black man blinked, a little amused.
"Hey, brother, you're revealing my scars!" Yusse Bot pouted, "Don't worry, I'll win it back this time." Asa, you can't come this time, I'll teach you a lesson about Jax Thelin's big mouth in the 200m. ”
The bald black man shook his head helplessly, "He's very strong, Yusse, if it's really in the 100-meter race, I may not be able to beat him." ”
"Dude, you're too ambitious, you're a world record holder now! If you were to compete at the World Championships, you would have won the 100m a few days ago. Yusse-Bot exclaimed with some excitement.
The bald black man in front of him was none other than Asa Favir, who ran 9.77 seconds in Athens on June 14 this year, setting a new world record. His record surpassed the first 100m world record of 9.78 seconds set by American Tim Montgomery (Montgomery's record was later cancelled due to drug prohibition).
"It's a pity I'm hurt." Asa Favir has a bitter face, but he has been in great form this year, setting a personal best of 9.84 seconds at the Jamaica International in May, and then setting a new world record of 9.77 seconds at the Panathinaiko Stadium, where Maurice Green set the world record of 9.79 seconds in 1999.
But in July, because of a groin injury, he missed the World Championships. He appeared in Helsinki only as a spectator.
He and Yusse Bot have known each other for a long time, in Jamaica, Yusse Bot has been a household name since winning the men's 200m at the 2002 World Junior Championships, and as the current Jamaican first 100m, the two have played many times before the Jamaican Athletics Association.
"So, man, it's up to me for this game." Yusse Bot smiled and grabbed Asa Favier's neck, "I can't outrun him in 100 meters, but not necessarily in 200 meters." ”
"That's right." Asa Favir nodded, and in the 200m, his current personal best is not far from that of Yusse Bote. As he spoke, he glanced up and down at Usai Bot again, "However, your chiropractic correction is complete?" ”
"It's not close." Yusse-Bot smiled, "But I'm confident in this fight. ”
"Be careful not to get hurt, Yusse." Asa Favir shook her head and persuaded her.
He had known about Yusse Both's scoliosis problem before, because Yusey Bot was too tall, and the center of gravity itself was prone to shaking when running, and then running exploded, because of scoliosis, the force on his legs would be unbalanced, and it was easy to strain his muscles.
He believes that if the problem of Yusse-Bot's scoliosis is completely solved, his results should be able to go to the next level, but he does not dare to say that he has absolute confidence in the 200m race.
"Don't worry, Asa." Yusse Bot showed a confident smile, saw that the sideline staff were already reminding him to play, turned his head and said hello, "I should play first, man, don't leave later, we can watch the 400m preliminaries together." ”
