"Golden medal, another gold medal!"

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

In the women's javelin competition that started at 9 a.m., Xiao Juan, a female player led by coach Wang Shouyang, won another game and won the gold medal for the women's javelin.

"This coach Wang is really good at it!"

Zhou Bin kept applauding in the stands, looking at the women's shot put event that had just ended, and a flower was about to laugh out loud on his face.

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

He brought four athletes into the Chinese team for the World Youth Championship. Now, all three players have won gold medals, and there is also a men's discus event, which is also the most powerful 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 inspection and recording area to start preparing for warm-up.

In the first World Youth Championship in 1999, the Chinese team won four gold medals and three silver medals, including one for men and women's long jump, and the other two women's discus and women's shot put, both won by Hong Mei, a female athlete led by coach Wang Shouyang.

In the second quarter of the World Youth Championship in 2001, the Chinese team only won two gold medals, one was a male discus athlete led by coach Wang Shouyang, and the other was a male 5,000-meter race walker.

In this World Youth Championship, if it weren't for the dark horse Ye Qin, the Chinese team would have to rely on the four athletes led by coach Wang Shouyang to support it.

He admired Wang Shouyang for being able to train many outstanding young athletes in throwing events, but from the perspective of the team leader, he was able to achieve something in other events, which was even more gratifying.

Ye Qin's performance in yesterday's 200m preliminaries and 400m finals made Zhou Bin vaguely feel that if this young man practices well, the short-distance events of Chinese track and field should have some results, at least in Asia, there is still a good chance.

After all, Ye Qin's physical condition was seen in his eyes. He was still a little thin young man. He gradually improved in all aspects such as core strength, and his grades would definitely be able to reach a higher level.

The training of track and field athletes, especially sprinters, is different from the training of throwing athletes. Needless to say, the selection of materials is mainly about body shape and strength. With Liu Feng, Jiang Minli, and the javelin athlete Xiao Juan, who won the championship, their physical development is already mature enough, and their competitiveness in the youth stage is naturally needless to say, but it is hard to say how much it can be improved in the adult-level world competition.

There are generally two types of players who can become top athletes in the youth stage and enter world-class competitions in adulthood. One is talented and has made its mark in its own field early. The other is that it is somewhat mature. Through high-intensity training, it can be artificially improved in the youth stage. The grades among peers are naturally good enough, but the potential is exhausted too early and the ceiling is approaching, and it is probably difficult to make great progress in the future.

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

Needless to say, even if he is asked to take Ye Qin now, he is sure to bring Ye Qin's grades to a big step in one or two years, but there are too many training things.

...

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

In front of the indoor inspection and recording area, Ye Qin took the 200-meter semi-final list that he had just taken from Ye Lidong and saw the American player in the same group he met during the preliminary round at a glance.

In his group of men's 200m preliminaries yesterday, he was deeply impressed by his deepest. Lionel Larry, an American player, almost led the front 150 meters in the preliminary round. He only surpassed the opponent in the last few dozen meters, and he could be said to be a strong enemy. Just like the experience in the 400m final, this is also the first time he encountered such a high-level player in the 200m.

"This American player is quite good. Ye Qin, look at the preliminaries of other players. Many of them are very strong. You must have a bottom line in your mind. In addition to watching the performances better than you, you must also pay attention to those who have not much difference between the preliminaries and you. Think about whether you were reserved when you saw them playing and their technical characteristics."

Ye Lidong looked at Ye Qin and noticed the preliminaries of the members of the second group of the semi-finals, and then reminded him to see the preliminaries of the other players.

He has not directly led athlete training. He was the leader of the World Youth Championship and was able to give some advice on the spot.

"Thank you, Guidance Ye."

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

As Ye Lidong said, in track and field events, it is still very important to understand your opponent's level and characteristics. Only by comparing can you roughly measure your position.

Ye Qin saw the preliminaries of other players at a glance. His preliminaries were 21.56 seconds, and there were five players ahead of him.

The first in the preliminaries is also an American player, Mike Grett, 20 seconds 88. The only player among all the players in the preliminaries who ran into 21 seconds, with the two letters of PB behind his score, which means that this is the personal best result created by the other party.

The second player was Yusé Bot from Jamaica. He was most impressed by the black Jamaican boy who pretended to be injured on the track and later withdrew from the 400-meter race. The result was 21 seconds 12.

The third and fourth place are the two British players with 21.29 and 21.35 respectively. Another one is Bahrain player Maimaiti Thad Rahidi, with a score of 21.50.

After watching the results of the preliminaries, Ye Qin raised his head and looked at Ye Lidong, and understood the other party's meaning in his heart.

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

The 200-meter event is not like the 400-meter event. The difference in the scores between players will be closer, but it is more difficult to catch up. Judging from the results of the preliminary round, Ye Qin probably knows that the first-place American player Mike Gret and the second-place Jamaican player, the black boy Yusé Bot, it is still difficult for him to catch up with the two.

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

"Just go and run with all your best personal results."

Ye Lidong gently patted Ye Qin on the shoulder. The more he touched, he gradually discovered the pride hidden deep in the peaceful boy's heart.

He didn't want to hit Ye Qin. In the 400m preliminaries, Ye Qin saw the results of other players. The gap was not obvious, which might have made Ye Qin miscalculate the situation. After all, it was the first time he entered the international arena, but 200m... Ye Lidong felt that it was necessary to remind him.

"Ye Qin, I know that you are not willing to admit defeat. Athletes are not willing to admit defeat. They all want to be the one who wins. At your age, you should have more knowledge of the broad world! If you know others and see more things, you will be able to know yourself and make progress! Maintain such a competitive spirit and work hard!"

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

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

This is the track and field. No matter how great or powerful an athlete is, he grows up step by step.

No one can reach the peak with a complete victory on the day he stepped onto the track and field. There are ups and downs along the way. No one will not lose, but it doesn’t matter if he loses, it’s good to win back next time.

"Ye Qin took a light breath, nodded solemnly, and returned the 200-meter contestant preliminaries in his hand to Ye Lidong. He turned his head, walked towards the track, and began to warm up.
Chapter completed!
