In the Carozekini Olympic Stadium, next to the 400-meter blue and white runway with gray, Nie Fangping and Zhou Bin stood in the mixed stands of the coaching seat and media seat separated by the billboard.

"Coach Nie, the form is very serious."

Zhou Bin rubbed his temples that were beating from time to time under the sun, looked up at the man in the middle of the field with a serious expression.

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

After Ye Qin was about to play, Nie Fangping had already left the inspection area and came to the stadium. When asked Zhou Bin about the level of the players in the first two groups of semi-finals, he immediately heard a not-so-won news.

When I was off the court, although I heard someone interferingly saying that some American players had already run into 46 seconds first, I realized after I came out that in the semi-finals, it was not one person who ran into 46 seconds, but two people.

The first place in the first group of the men's 400m semifinals, the American player Lawn Merritt scored 45.84 seconds; the second place was Sudanese player Abu Bakr Ali scored 45.99 seconds.

Zhou Bin remembered the first group of the semi-finals, and the muscles on his face twitched a little.

In this group, American player Lawn Merritt led all the rhythms of all players. Except for last year's World League 400m champion Abu Bakker Ali, the others' results were completely terrible. The third place in this group's semi-finals was 47.42 seconds, and the fourth place was 47.49 seconds, among which one of the players from Trinidad and Tobago had just run halfway and gave up the game.

Fortunately, there was no such abnormal situation again in the second group of the semi-finals. The top two players in the group, Bozwana and Australian players, scored 46.64 seconds and 46.80 seconds.

Otherwise, if you jump out for two more than 46 seconds in a row, Zhou Bin wouldn't have to think about Ye Qin fighting for the medal championship or something. It would be better if he could reach the finals honestly.

Nie Fangping's face darkened. In the preliminary round, Ye Qin defeated Sultan's Abu Bakr Ali, but from the opponent's performance in the semi-finals, he was obviously in very good condition.

Except for the fact that Ye Qin ran within 46 seconds during a training note, he had not yet reached 46 seconds in various competitions. According to the current situation, the challenge pressure faced in the finals will be very high, not to mention that Ye Qin will run 200 meters tomorrow. If the 200 preliminary round goes well, there will be 200 semi-finals in the afternoon.

"call"

He let out a sigh of relief, Nie Fangping looked at Ye Qin standing in the fourth lane in front of the starting line, and shook his head gently, "Let's take a look at this semi-finals first!"

It’s useless to think so much. Today’s game is not over yet. It’s useless to keep staring at the situation that may occur tomorrow. The soldiers come to block the water and soil, and the strength level is there, and you can do whatever you want.

Zhou Bin nodded slightly when he heard this. After watching the first group of the semi-finals, he was in a bad mood. Ye Qin was the only athlete he could do in this year's World Youth Championship men's sprint event. He originally thought that Ye Qin could compete for a medal, but now it seems that the format is very unfavorable.

...

On the field, the third group of players in the men's 400m semi-finals had already appeared on the big screen hanging high in the center of the field.

The first, Australia, Ben Provins;

The second route, Croatia, Elkovchek;

The third route, Russia, Valentine Kruyarakov;

The fourth road, China, Ye Qin;

The fifth route, Türkiye, Sedaltamark;

The Sixth Road, Brazil, Paul Orlando;

The seventh road, Russia, Maxim Alexandriko;

The eighth road, New Zealand, Cory Innis;

In this semi-finals, only Ye Qin had an impression of New Zealand player Cory Innis. The opponent was in the same group as him in the preliminary round and ranked third. He basically met other players for the first time.

Or maybe it was encountered in last year's World Youth Championship, but if it weren't for him or had posed a huge threat to him, many players might not be able to remember it.

There are no contestants worthy of Ye Qin's special attention, but it does not mean that there may be no opponents in this group.

Ye Qin knew this very well. He kept it in the final match, and the same is likely to be the case for other players.

For world-class competitions, many players' annual results and historical best results are basically transparent to everyone. For example, the Olympics or World Championships, basically before that, everyone could get data on the competitive and threatening athletes' competitive status and historical results, and they had a very clear grasp.

For competitions like the World Youth Championship and the World Youth Championship, unless they are particularly famous players, like Yusé Bot, who have participated in many international competitions early on. Everyone has his past competition data and results, and have a rough understanding.

After all, there are so many countries around the world. Except for athletes in their own country, other young players will have some understanding of it. In such an international arena, they are basically blank for others. What can be intuitively understood is the semi-finals of the preliminaries and semi-finals.

In the first semi-finals, Sultanian Abu Bakr Ali participated in the World Championships, World Championships, All-African Games and Asian and African Games in 2003. He showed his face in large-scale competitions, and those who are interested can still roughly know his level.

But the American player Lawn Merritt, who ran 45 seconds 84, almost dragging down the entire group of games, was hasty, and with the current conditions, it was still difficult to fully grasp the opponent's strength level.

As long as it is not a record-breaking result, who will care about athletes from another country who have won the Virginia 6 high school championships?

“onyourmarks!”

The voices of the commanders at the scene were heard.

Ye Qin took a light breath, focused his attention completely on the competition, and slowly walked onto the starting machine.

In this semi-finals, he was disturbed by some people just now that someone ran into the 46-second run, but his emotions had calmed down at this moment.

The World Youth Championship is not low in level and the pressure is much greater. However, in the year after the World Youth Championship, he has grown a lot in training and competition.

When I was in the World Youth Championship, I was born with a calf and was not afraid of tigers. I never thought about the pressure on the game. Now, I have not gained more confidence, but after a lot of training and competition, I have seen many opponents, and have an intuitive understanding of my own strength and more confidence.

After Ye Qin leaned over and kept his body still, the stadium with more than 10,000 people gradually became quiet.

“Set!”

Bang!

The gunshot suddenly rang out.

The moment the gunshot sounded, Ye Qin suddenly stood up and accelerated, quickly rushing out of the starting line.

He is in the fourth lane, which is a comparative advantage in the sprint race. At the same time, he can basically grasp the paths of the players in front of him and then make adjustments.

With more than two hundred meters in front, Ye Qin still stabilized his speed and rhythm on the first curve and straight road. He did not set a distance with other players too quickly, but did not let himself fall behind.

The 400-meter competition itself is the second half. In the first half, except for some players who tend to explosively have technical characteristics, everyone will basically control their speed.

"good!"

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

Especially Zhou Bin, he put down a big rock in his heart. Although he was still a little worried about tomorrow's final, he probably felt a little clear when he saw this in the game.

In the first two hundred meters, Ye Qin did not lead the other players, but he ran very similarly to his preliminaries, basically ranked in the top three of the players in the same group.

Because it is the semi-finals, the last eight final places are being competed for. Strong players will not hide too many in the early stage, and weaker players will also fight with all their strength.

In fact, the speed of this group of men's 400m semi-finals was actually faster than that of the preliminary round, and Ye Qin also appropriately improved a little in the first half.

And the key is that in this group of games, there was no situation like the American player Lawn Merritt in the first group of the semi-finals, and with the understanding of Ye Qin by the surroundings and Nie Fangping, the first two hundred meters were not pulled away at an absolute speed, and basically there would not be too many unexpected situations in the second half.

Of course, the game was not over yet. Although the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, their expressions remained tense.

As the straight road entered the bend, Ye Qin began to accelerate again at a distance of 250 meters.

Two hundred and sixty meters, two hundred and seventy meters, two hundred and eighty meters...

As the second curve approaches the end, the form on the field gradually becomes clearer.

Bend into straight road!

The atmosphere in the audience gradually became warmer.

The first person to run into the game was the Russian player Valentine Kruyarakov, who was the third lane. The opponent's technical characteristics are very simple, with long legs and large steps, and the absolute speed is not very fast, but the victory is average.

The rhythm is well controlled, and the scores of each hundred meters in the first 300 meters are not much different, but the average effect brought by the constant speed makes him first to enter the knowledge stage after 300 meters.

Ye Qin was the second player to enter the straight. He was two positions slower than Valentine Kruyarakov, and the gap was not big.

From the second turn just now, he felt that the Russian player was running very steadily, neither anxious nor impatient, and was more than better than him in speed control and rhythm.

The situation is similar to that he encountered Sultanian player Abu Bakr Ali in the preliminary round, but after all, it was the semi-finals, and the speed was somewhat improved compared to the first half of the preliminary round, so the situation reflected in the end was much different.

From entering the last straight, Ye Qin only crossed thirty meters and about 60 meters away from the finish line, he surpassed Russia's Valentine Kruyarakov and ran directly to the first place.

Even though the speed rhythm of more than 300 meters in the first place was very well controlled, at this time Valentine Kruyarkov's speed inevitably declined, and there was a trend of exhaustion. It can be seen that this is close to the opponent's best performance.

After surpassing Valentine Kruyarakov, Ye Qin took a little attention to his position. At this time, the other players beside him except Valentine Kruyarakov had been thrown away.

The first two in the semi-finals advanced directly. In the last 50-meter sprint stage, Ye Qin controlled the speed and did not desperately make the final sprint. Instead, he firmly pressed the distance between Valentine Kruyarakov and two or three positions and successfully crossed the finish line.

46 seconds 34!

On the on-site timekeeping card, Ye Qin, who was the first to cross the finish line, had already appeared in everyone's sight.

Zhou Bin and Nie Fangping applauded excitedly on the sidelines. Although they still have to face huge challenges tomorrow, being able to advance to the finals smoothly is the prerequisite for meeting this challenge.
