Chapter 89 Sherbrooke

Sherbrooke is located in the southern part of Quebec, Canada. It is the sixth largest city in Quebec and the 30th largest city in Canada.

Since the 19th century, Sherbrooke has been the center of traditional manufacturing. With the development of the times, due to the decline of the traditional manufacturing sector of Sherbrooke, the tourism service industry has gradually occupied a prominent position in the city's economy in recent decades. In addition, the growing knowledge-based economy has become a new driving force for the development of this city.

There are eight higher education institutions in Sherbrooke, which is the region with the largest number of students in Quebec. Every year, international students from all over the world study and study here has become a major boost to local development, with a direct economic impact of more than US$1 billion.

"The venue of our competition is at Sherbrooke University. Everyone is following the good team leader and coach. They must obey the arrangements, not run around or act alone. If you encounter any problems, they will tell me coach or leader Ye in time."

In front of the exit of Sherbrook Airport, a team of more than 20 people slowly walked out of the airport under a high five-star red flag. Team leader Zhou Bin stood in front of the crowd, looked at more than a dozen team members, coaches and other staff behind, and shouted loudly.

Ye Qin stood in the middle of the line, looking at the airport with bright and clean windows, as well as the crowd of high noses, deep eyes and different skin colors that were passing by from time to time, and was a little dazed.

After Nie Fangping and Wen Tongshi visited his home, his grandfather did not raise any objections to his overseas competition. Although his grandmother disagreed at first, he finally reluctantly agreed with his grandfather and his persuasion.

After returning to school, he continued to study and attend classes as he had made the previous progress.

On June 27, after completing the final exam at Xiushui No. 2 Middle School, he and Nie Fangping took a bus to Chong'an Airport, flew directly from Chong'an Airport to Yanjing, and then gathered for training at the Field Management Center in Yanjing.

On the one hand, concentrated training is mainly about giving some precautions and life details to young athletes and coaches who have gone abroad for the first time.

The third World Junior Championship is held in Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada, from July 9 to July 13.

The Chinese delegation set out from China four days in advance. The plane of more than ten hours passed in a blink of an eye. When I stepped on the ground again, I was really abroad. Looking back on the past week, I felt like I was dreaming.

"Ye Qin, this is abroad. You usually stay with Liu Feng and Wujiang. If you have any difficulties in life, you can come to me directly, or Team Leader Ye and Team Leader Zhou. Before you come, Coach Nie specially chatted with me for a long time." A gentle voice sounded beside Ye Qin. Standing behind Ye Qin was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a strong body and said to Ye Qin very kindly.

"Thank you, Coach Wang."

Ye Qin thanked the middle-aged man in front of him that he had known each other these days. This is coach Wang Shouyang from the Southern Jiangsu Sports School. This time he brought four athletes to participate and was one of the three accompanying coaches in the World Youth Team.

Due to the limited number of people, except for the sixteen athletes, the other entourages were the team leader Ye Lidong, the team leader Zhou Bin, three coaches, four translators and foreign affairs liaison staff and physiotherapy and health care personnel, forming a representative team of 23 people.

Nie Fangping, due to the limited number of delegations, was unable to successfully come to Sherbrooke, Canada with Ye Qin. He only sponsored the field management center in Yanjing. After Ye Qin completed the competition, he would pick him up and go back together.

"Liu Feng, Wu Jiang, you two, take care of Ye Qin. This is his first time going abroad to compete." Wang Shouyang looked at Ye Qin, then said to the two tall figures next to him.

"It's okay, Coach Wang, I will take good care of myself."

Ye Qin waved his hands repeatedly and said that he used to go out to compete with Yan Ning or Nie Fangping, and they were taken care of. Although he was a young man, he still felt a sense of dependence in his heart.

In this World Youth Championship, in addition to the team leader Ye Lidong and the team leader Zhou Bin, the delegation he was in was the coach Wang Shouyang in front of him. The other party was not familiar with his own coach Nie Fangping, but because Nie Fangping knew coach Zhao Youcheng of the Avant-garde Sports Association, he came to the door for contact, hoping that Wang Shouyang could take care of Ye Qin more when he was abroad.

Although Wang Shouyang is a sports school coach in southern Jiangsu Province, he has been taking athletes to participate in the World Middle School Games, Asian Youth Championships, and World Youth Championships. His experience in this area is richer than that of the delegation leader and team leader this time.

Although I don’t know much about the players in the 400-meter and 200-meter events that suddenly increased in the team, since I can be selected into the participating team, I will naturally pay more attention.

After all, he is also a coach who brings young athletes all year round. He knows that young people of this age go abroad to compete, especially players from 161 countries in the World Youth Championship. This is a big scene and it is easy to feel nervous. In addition, there are time difference, local climate, venue, competition requirements, opponents' situation, etc., which are all factors that need to be considered.

"Don't worry, coach, we live together and will meet and take care of each other."

After Wang Shouyang finished speaking, a strong young man beside Ye Qin smiled and patted Ye Qin on the shoulder and said.

Another tall boy holding a suitcase in his hand smiled and said, "Coach, it's our first time to compete abroad!"

"This is your first time, but look at your guys." Wang Shouyang smiled and pointed at the bodies of the two, "You are not at a loss!"

Ye Qin looked at the two people standing beside him and felt helpless for a moment.

One of them was named Liu Feng and the other was named Wu Jiang. Liu Feng participated in the men's shot put event, and Wu Jiang was a men's special event. Both of them were taller than those who Ye Qin came into contact with. Both of them were over 1.9 meters tall, and their weight was more than 200 kilograms. Compared to many tall European and American athletes he saw when he got off the plane.

The ages of the three are actually not much different, but Liu Feng and Wu Jiang both have more experience in playing games than Ye Qin. Moreover, in terms of body shape, Ye Qin is only 1.77 meters tall, and standing in front of the two is almost like a child. It is no wonder that Wang Shouyang hopes that the two will pay more attention to taking care of Ye Qin.

From the few days since he joined the team, there were always more than a dozen athletes. Ye Qin was familiar with Liu Feng and Wu Jiang, who were under him because Nie Fangping and Wang Shouyang had greeted him.

In addition, there are two female athletes, Jiang Liming and Xiao Juan, led by Wang Shouyang. One is in the women's javelin and the other is in the women's shot put event. In terms of physique, Xiao Juan is still normal for the women's javelin. In addition, Jiang Liming, a woman's shot put, is also very tall and strong.
