Orc Undead Sports Warrior

Chapter 223 Before the Semifinals

The day after winning the shot put championship, Liu Wei still showed up on the track and field on time.

"Didn't I tell you to get some rest? Why did you come out so early in the morning?"

When Wang Qiao saw Liu Wei running laps on the track, he shook his head helplessly. He wondered if this guy was a robot. If it were a different person who had to compete four times in one day and had such a big emotional outburst, it would be perfectly normal for them to sleep in the next day.

Anyway, all 6 Wei's matches are in the evening today, so it's fine to sleep in a little longer in the morning and adjust my condition in the afternoon.

Surprisingly, Liu Wei appeared on the track and field as usual.

When Liu Wei heard the coach talking, he started to slow down from a distance, and by the time he got to Wang Qiao's side, he had just caught his breath.

"I feel great, not too tired! I'm planning to go back and catch up on some sleep after I finish training."

Wang Qiao found it difficult to judge Liu Wei's physical condition from his seemingly indifferent attitude beneath his serious demeanor. Since he already had a gold medal, he was less restrained in the later competitions, which was important for the young athletes.

While Liu Wei was speaking, the other team members seemed to be doing their own things, but in reality, their attention was all on him. They all laughed when they heard him speak so casually.

"Just keep that in mind, I won't say anything else. Be careful with the intensity when you're doing the exercises, don't strain your muscles. You're competing in 5 events in 9 days, if you strain even one muscle, you're basically done for the rest of the competitions! Okay, I won't scare you anymore, just be careful!"

It's hard to see much joy in Liu Wei's expression. Normally, after winning an Olympic gold medal on the first day, there might be an emotional fluctuation, but judging from his expression, it seems that such a thing doesn't exist for him at all.

Yesterday's Olympic gold medal truly made Liu Wei a household name. If no one in China knew about Liu Wei before, he suddenly became the focus of attention after yesterday's competition.

Because Liu Wei participates in a variety of events, when he competed in the 100-meter race yesterday, many viewers who were unfamiliar with track and field but followed the Olympics thought he was a sprinter.

Those who frequently follow track and field are amazed by the incredible running ability of this javelin world champion.

After the media announced Liu Wei's competition events, an air of mystery surrounding him arose. Many viewers were unsure which sport he was an athlete in, and upon learning of Liu Wei's formidable all-around abilities, many couldn't help but marvel at his truly dominant physical prowess.

While Liu Wei was still sweating profusely on the training field, the sports channel used the morning broadcast break to broadcast a special program about Liu Wei to the audience.

The video was actually pre-recorded. After he won the championship, a special reporter went to Wei's home to interview his parents, thus completing the entire interview of the shot put competition.

When Liu Wei won the championship, the two of them were already in tears at home, but when the media came, Liu's father and mother smiled happily from beginning to end.

There was no discussion, but the tacit understanding formed over many years of living together meant that the two of them didn't need to communicate at all.

When interviewed by reporters, the two of them were almost always smiling.

Make sure your child sees your best side!

The idea of ​​college students winning glory for the country is also very appealing. In recent years, there has been a prevailing notion that most athletes have relatively low levels of education. This was seen as a significant obstacle to their career development.

The emergence of Liu Wei has made people realize that highly educated young people can potentially become outstanding athletes. Although the overall educational level of athletes is relatively low, there are still excellent athletes like Liu Qiangdong and Liu Jin. In recent years, many student athletes have received attention from all sectors of society.

"At least you don't have to practice shot put these past few days. I feel tired just thinking about it!"

Zhang Yuanteng walked over with a smile. Compared to the other team members, he seemed very relaxed. Reaching the semifinals of the 1-meter event at the Olympics had already made history.

Tonight is the best practice race for him. Even if he runs his best time, it will be difficult for him to make it to the final.

He seemed very relaxed, and he always had a smile on his face during training. Athletes often feel nervous before a competition because they find it difficult to control their emotions when facing an unknown challenge.

To make it to tonight's final, he'll probably need to run at least 10.05 seconds, a time Zhang Yuanteng hasn't achieved yet. Once things are clearer, it's easier to accept.

"Don't do any high-intensity training today. You have two high-intensity classes waiting for you tonight!"

Zhang Yuanteng then continued speaking and went on to continue his training session.

Everyone wants to chat with Liu Wei, but as fellow athletes, we all know that athletes need a quiet environment to adjust themselves, especially before important competitions.

During the morning training session, Liu Wei remained almost entirely in a stand-up mode. He kept mentally rehearsing the evening's competition. Although he could now run under 10 seconds, he wasn't sure if he would get a second shot in the evening's competition.

In the past year or so of competitions, he has been feeling his way forward. This is his first time participating in a 1-meter world competition, and he has no idea how well he can perform.

"How do you feel? Olympic champion! I told you you could do it, and I was right. So, be confident tonight too!"

During a break from training, Liu Fei was stretching when he happened to walk over to Liu Wei. He spoke with his fist on his chest, a gesture he'd picked up when he first met Liu Wei.

Upon seeing Liu Feiren, Liu Wei's brow unfurrowed. He had just observed Liu Feiren's training; he needed to rest for 5 to 10 minutes after each run, which was not a normal training rhythm.

He is getting his body used to the running rhythm under the current conditions through training. It seems that there is still a big problem with his Achilles tendon. Otherwise, he wouldn't be training so carefully. The team doctor has to come up and massage him for a long time before and after almost every training session.

To encourage himself even in such a difficult situation shows Liu Yangyu's remarkable magnanimity. To think of himself at a time like this demonstrates his positive and resilient character, both as a star player and as a friend.

"My task tonight is actually very simple: give it my all in every shot. I won't rely on luck; if I can run at my normal level, I'll have a chance in the finals!"

When Liu Wei evaluated himself, it was as if he were discussing other athletes' matches, and his words made Liu Feiren laugh.

"Don't treat it as a burden. Believe me, no matter how you run tonight, even if the result is not ideal, it will be the most beautiful memory of your life."

After Liu Feiren finished speaking, he continued walking back. When he ran, there was no sign of injury, but when he walked, he hopped around.

"Come on, Shen Liang, walk with me through a few starting blocks. After we're done, I'll go back, take a shower, and then get some sleep!"

Although this strong starter was eliminated in one go, he still looks very proud, and it would be a waste not to use him as a training partner.
