July 14th afternoon.

The sky was shining with flags above the Carozekini Olympic Stadium, and many spectators had gathered in the stands on both sides of the audience on the left and right sides of the venue to watch the World Youth Championship.

Perhaps because of the upcoming Olympic atmosphere in August, the sports atmosphere of the World Youth Championship held in Grosseto was amazing. Since the opening of the first day of July 12, the enthusiasm of the audience has not diminished. Especially whenever the afternoon and evening competitions are all semi-finals and finals, it has caused everyone to cheer and scream in the venue.

"In the first half of the game, follow the pace of the preliminaries. Don't press the speed too much. If you are too late, even if you start sprinting in the second half of the game, it will be difficult to catch up with others."

In the inspection area, the second group of the men's 400m semi-finals are queuing up for the inspection. The first group of the semi-finals has begun, and the second group of players are about to come to the stage.

He is a player in the third group of the semi-finals. He has just finished warming up and is waiting for the side to run away. After the second group of players come on the court, the players in their third group will soon be lined up to call and then follow them on the court.

Nie Fangping looked at the second group of players who were about to play, and became a little nervous inside. He turned to look at Ye Qin, who looked calm, and lowered his head and told him again about the precautions for the game.

This is the first time that the two masters and apprentices faced a world-class competition together. Nie Fangping was not with Ye Qin in the World Young Summit last year, and some things have always been regretful.

This time he has some experience, from the analysis of the players before the game, as well as Ye Qin's state and rhythm, he observed it carefully and made some suggestions in detail. In fact, at this stage, what should be said has been said, and after yesterday's preliminaries, Nie Fangping still habitually explained a few words. There is a difference between having a coach and not having a coach at this time. Especially for young athletes, their mental state is not stable enough. Even if they just talk casually, they can help the athletes to relieve their emotions.

"I got it, coach, I will control the rhythm."

Ye Qin nodded calmly. The feeling of this World Youth Championship is indeed different from the World Youth Championship. Not to mention the size of the participating team, but Nie Fangping is really relieved. It is a bit like when he first followed the Nanxiu City team to participate in the Provincial Youth Championship alone, and suddenly saw the principal and teacher on the sidelines, and he felt at once.

In more than a year, he has participated in five games in China and has been able to adapt to the atmosphere of this competition. His body can easily mobilize and become excited, but he can control his emotions and avoid being too excited.

"That's good." Nie Fangping nodded, "The information of some players in the World Youth Championship is not particularly complete, and the level reflected in the preliminary round may not be completely reliable, so you must observe more seriously and not fight to the greatest extent, but you must also make sure to stay in the top two in the group."

With Ye Qin's preliminaries, he scored 46.58 seconds. As long as Ye Qin's semi-finals can maintain the level of the preliminaries, Nie Fangping is not worried about any problems with Ye Qin entering the finals.

But in the same way, he was worried that because Ye Qin was too reserved for tomorrow's men's 200m preliminaries, semi-finals and 400m finals, he could not qualify for today's semi-finals, which was something he could not accept.

Of course, this is the semi-final. Ye Qin himself is qualified to advance to the finals, and he will not directly ask Ye Qin to do his best to run.

After all, although it is a sprint and a few hundred meters race, it is very burdened on the body. Only when the strength is insufficient can you consider going all out to compete for a place.

This is also a stage that athletes must go through during their growth process. They accumulate experience and reasonably allocate their physical fitness. Some of them do not need to be communicated and taught. Many athletes can learn without a teacher and adjust according to the strength of their opponents in the same group.

Suddenly, a cheer sounded in the stadium, and then in the somewhat dull recording area, someone from afar shouted loudly in English to this side: "Hi, we Americans have been running in 46 seconds!"

"46 seconds?"

"This is the semi-final, and there are some Americans who have entered 46 seconds!"

The two groups of players waiting to play in the recording area suddenly felt a little turbulent.

The male 400-meter athlete is basically a watershed 46 seconds and 45 seconds. With the current athlete's level, if you can enter 46 seconds, even if you enter the ranks of international experts, you can basically get the qualification to participate in large international competitions.

45 seconds is almost the best level for men in the 400m. In various large-scale competitions, there is a level where you have the opportunity to enter the finals and compete for medals.

Judging from the results of the World Track and Field Championships in the past, they can basically enter 46 seconds, which is almost the only way to win medals. Suddenly someone passed the results of the field, which brought a lot of pressure to the players who are about to play.

The American team's track and field strength is well known, and they have always been the leader in sprint events. In one 100-meter final or 200-meter final, the US team can occupy three places with eight players.

If men can occasionally challenge top players from other countries in the 100 to 200 meters, like in the 100-200s, over 100 meters of American players, they won the 100-meter championship, then in the 400-meter event, the US team almost never gave up the championship, and they often took over the top three.

When Ye Qin heard a contestant enter 46 seconds, his body subconsciously tightened a little. He had not yet run into 46 seconds in the field. Suddenly, he heard that someone had run out of this result in the semi-finals, and he felt an indescribable sense of urgency.

"Don't be excited, run as you want, it's not the time to care about others." Nie Fangping's voice rang in his ears at the right time, "This is deliberately creating pressure for you."

Although Nie Fangping has never participated in international competitions, he has good English and has learned a lot about various domestic and foreign competitions. After understanding the other party’s content, he suddenly understood it.

"Ye Qin took a light breath, turned his head and glanced at the direction where the voice came just now, and saw a black young man wearing a team uniform being pulled away by several staff members.

Although this method is not very bright, there is no way for someone to yell a few times in an outdoor venue. Even if you know that the other party did it on purpose, you can't do anything.

Moreover, there are live TV screens next to the warm-up track of the indoor inspection and recording area of ​​many large-scale competitions for athletes to understand the performance of previous contestants. If you completely say that intentional interference is not enough.

Of course, that is also aimed at professional athletes who have experienced a lot of battles. Among the athletes participating in the World Youth Championship, many of them may have already entered the profession with half a foot, but many of them are now just high school students and college students. Before they approach the stage, their mentality will still be affected.

After a slight commotion calmed down, the second group of the men's 400m semi-finals soon entered the field, and the third group of the men's 400m semi-finals also entered the sequence of waiting for names.
Chapter completed!
