In the Carozechini Olympic Stadium, next to the 400-meter blue, white and gray track, Nie Fangping and Zhou Bin stood in the mixed stand of the coach's and media seats separated by a billboard.

"Coach Nie, the form is very grim."

Zhou Bin rubbed his temples, which were beating from time to time in the sun, raised his head and looked at the men's 400-meter starting line in the middle of the field, his expression was a little solemn.

"The first group of the semi-finals is two players in 46 seconds?"

After Ye Qin was ready to play, Nie Fangping had already left the check-in area and came to the stadium, and asked Zhou Bin about the level of the two groups of semifinalists in front of him, and immediately heard a not-so-wonderful news.

When I was on the sidelines, although I heard someone disturbingly say that there was already an American runner who had taken the lead in running 46 seconds, I realized that in that group of semifinals, it was not one person who ran 46 seconds, but two people.

The first place in the first group of the men's 400m semifinals, the American Ron Merritt with a time of 45.84 seconds; Second place, Sudan's Abu Bakr Ali, scored 45.99 seconds.

Zhou Bin remembered the game in the first group of the semifinals, and the muscles in his face twitched a little.

In this group, the American Raun Merritt led the pace of almost all the competitors, except for last year's World Junior Championships 400m champion Abubakr Ali, who could keep up, the rest of the results were completely miserable. In the semi-finals, the third-place finisher was 47.42 seconds and the fourth-place finisher was 47.49 seconds, with one Trinidad and Tobago runner dropping out of the race after running the halfway point.

Fortunately, there was no such perversion in the second group of the semi-finals, with the top two players in the group, Botswana and Australia, finishing 46.64 and 46.80 seconds.

Otherwise, if he jumps out two more within 46 seconds in a row, Zhou Bin doesn't have to think about Ye Qin competing for the medal championship or something, and it would be considered lucky to be able to honestly enter the finals.

Nie Fangping's face sank, Ye Qin won against Sudan's Abu Bakr Ali in the preliminaries, but from the performance of the opponent in the semifinals, it is obvious that he is still in very good shape.

Ye Qin has not scored 46 seconds in various competitions except for a training note, and according to the current situation, basically the challenge pressure in the final will be very high, not to mention, Ye Qin will run the men's 200 meters tomorrow, if the 200 preliminaries go well, there will be 200 semifinals in the afternoon.

"Whew-"

Exhaling softly, Nie Fangping looked at Ye Qin, who was standing in the fourth lane in front of the starting line, and shook his head gently, "Let's take a look at this group of semi-finals first!" ”

It's useless to think so much, today's game is not over yet, it's useless to keep staring at what may happen tomorrow, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, the strength level is there, just do what you want.

Zhou Bin also nodded slightly when he heard this, after watching the first group of the semifinals, he was not in a good mood, Ye Qin was the only athlete he could win in the men's sprint event at this year's World Youth Championships, he originally thought that Ye Qin could compete for a medal, but now it seems that the form is very unfavorable.

……

On the field, the information of the third group of players in the men's 400m semifinals has appeared on the big screen hanging high in the center of the field.

First Road, Australia, Ben-Provense;

second, Croatia, Erkovček;

the third, Russia, Valentin-Kruyalakov;

Fourth, China, Yechin;

Fifth Lane, Turkey, Sedal Tamak;

Sixth lane, Brazil, Paulo Orlando;

Seventh lane, Russia, Maxim Alexandriko;

Eighth Road, New Zealand, Cory-Innes;

In this group of semi-finals, Ye Qin only remembered New Zealand's Cory Innes, who was in a group with him in the preliminaries and ranked third, and the other players he basically met for the first time.

Or maybe he encountered it at last year's World Junior Championships, but if he hadn't won against him or posed a huge threat to him at that time, many players might not be able to remember it.

There are no players worthy of Ye Chin's special attention, but that doesn't mean there may be no opponents in this group.

Ye Qin is well aware of this, and in the preliminaries, he has reservations in the end, and the same other players are likely to do the same.

For world-class competitions, many players' annual results and all-time best results are largely transparent to everyone. For example, the Olympics or the World Championships, basically before that, everyone can get the data of the competitive and threatening players of the year, and the historical results of the year, and have a very clear grasp.

And competitions like the World Junior Championships and the World Junior Championships, unless they are particularly famous players, like Yusse Both, who has participated in many international competitions early, everyone has his past competition data and results, and have a general understanding.

After all, there are so many countries in the world, and other young players, in addition to the athletes from their own countries, are basically blank for others in such an international arena, and what can be intuitively understood is the semifinals of the preliminaries.

In the first semi-finals, Sudan's Abu Bakr Ali participated in the 2003 World Junior Championships, World Championships, All Africa Games and Asian and African Games.

However, the American player Raune Merritt, who ran 45.84 seconds and almost dragged down the entire group, was in a hurry, and it was still difficult to fully grasp the opponent's strength level under the current conditions.

As long as it's not a record-breaking result, athletes from another country who care about each other's six high school championships won.

“Onyourmarks！”

The voices of the on-site starters sounding in place.

Ye Qin exhaled softly, fully focused his attention on the race, and slowly walked onto the starting block.

In this semi-final, he was slightly disturbed by the fact that someone had just run into a 46-second time, but at this moment his emotions have calmed down.

The level of competition in the World Junior Championships is not low, and the pressure is much greater, but in the year after the World Junior Championships, he has grown a lot, both in training and in competitions.

In the World Junior Championships, the newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and have never thought about too much competition pressure, but now, not with more confidence, but after a lot of training and competition, I have seen many opponents, and I have an intuitive understanding of my own strength, and I have more confidence.

After Ye Qin leaned over and lowered his head and kept his body still, the stadium of more than 10,000 people gradually quieted down.

“SET！”

Syllable!

The starting gun rang out.

At the moment when the gun rang out, Ye Qin suddenly got up and accelerated, and quickly rushed out of the starting line.

He's in lane four, which is a comparative advantage in the sprint, and with one step, he's basically able to get a rough idea of the path of the rider in front of him and make adjustments.

More than 200 meters ahead, the first corner and straight, Ye Qin still stabilized his speed and rhythm, did not distance himself from other competitors too quickly, but did not let himself fall behind.

The 400-meter race itself is the second half, and in the first half of the race, except for some players whose technical characteristics are biased towards explosiveness, basically everyone will control the speed.

"Not bad!"

From the start to more than 200 meters, Nie Fangping and Zhou Bin on the sidelines breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Especially Zhou Bin, put down a big stone in his heart, although he is still a little worried about tomorrow's finals, but when he sees the game here, he probably has some spectrum in his heart.

In the first 200 meters, Ye Qin did not lead the other runners, but he ran very similarly to him in the preliminaries, basically ranking in the top three positions of the same group.

Because it is the semi-finals, the competition is for the last eight finals, and the powerful players will not hide too much in the early stage, and the weaker players will also fight hard.

The first half of the men's 400m semifinals in this group was actually faster than the preliminaries, and Ye Qin also appropriately improved a little in the first half.

And the key is that in this group of games, there is no situation like the American player Raune Merritt in the first group of the semifinals with the whole field, and with the surrounding and Nie Fangping's understanding of Ye Qin, the first two hundred meters were not pulled away by the absolute speed, and basically there will not be too many accidents in the second half.

Of course, the game is not over yet, and although the two breathe a sigh of relief, their expressions are still tense.

Straight into the corner, two hundred and fifty meters away, Ye Qin began to accelerate again.

260 meters, 270 meters, 280 meters......

As the second corner drew to a close, the form on the field gradually became clear.

Corners into straights!

The atmosphere of the audience gradually became warmer.

The first to run into the third lane is the Russian player Valentin Kruyalakov, the opponent's technical characteristics are very simple, long legs and big steps, the absolute speed is not very fast, but the victory is average.

The rhythm is well controlled, and the results of each 100 meters in the first 300 meters are not too different, but the average effect brought by the uniform speed makes him the first to enter the knowing stage after 300 meters.

Yechin was the second rider to enter the straight, and he was two positions slower than Valentin Kruyalakov, not by much.

From the second corner, he could already feel that the Russian was running steadily, without rushing or rushing, and was more than a step better than him in terms of speed control and tempo.

The situation was similar to his encounter with Sudan's Abu Bakr Ali in the preliminaries, but after all, it was a semi-final, and his speed was somewhat improved compared to the first half of the preliminaries, so the situation in the end was very different.

From the time he entered the last straight, Yechin was only 30 meters past and about 60 meters from the finish line before he overtook Russia's Valentin Kruyalakov and ran straight into first place.

Even if the pace of the first 300 meters was very well controlled, by this time Valentin Kruyalakov's speed was inevitably declining, and there was a tendency to exhaust a bit, and it can be seen that this is close to the opponent's best level of performance.

After overtaking Valentin Kruyarakov, Yechin paid a little attention to his position, at which point the other players around him had already been thrown away.

The top two in the semi-final group advanced directly, and in the final 50 meters of the sprint, Ye Qin controlled his speed and did not desperately make the final sprint, but firmly pressed Valentin Kruyalakov two or three positions away and crossed the finish line smoothly.

46.34 seconds!

On the on-site timing board, Ye Qin's results, who crossed the finish line first, have appeared in everyone's sight.

Zhou Bin and Nie Fangping on the sidelines applauded excitedly, although they still have to face a huge challenge tomorrow, but being able to successfully advance to the finals is the premise of meeting this challenge.
