Chapter 202 Powerful Attack

"It seems that breaking 10 seconds in the 100-meter event is a major concern. Tyson Gay only managed to break 10 seconds last year. After breaking through that barrier, his performance has skyrocketed. He even defeated Jamaica's Powell in the World Championships final. Maybe our Lu Wei will also have a chance to go crazy at the Olympics!"

Jiang Jianjun was still savoring the match he had just watched. This Asian record came at just the right time, with only three months until the Olympics. Lu Wei's achievement was perfectly timed.

"Coach Jiang, as Lu Wei's head coach, I can sense that he hasn't reached his best form yet!"

Wang Qiao kept glancing at Lu Wei as she spoke, afraid that he might overhear her and cause a change in her mindset.

Not far away, Zou Zhen was still comforting Hu Huo: "It's raining quite heavily now, so don't push yourself too hard. There are still two months until the Olympic registration deadline. If you can't do it this time, there's a competition on the 25th. It's very dangerous to push through in this heavy rain. We'll see how it goes later. If there's standing water on the ground, then hold back. If you get injured and it affects the relay race, that would be a real loss."

The rain intensified on the track, and some sections were already flooded. In the subsequent men's 800m and women's 1500m races, the winning athletes' performances were generally mediocre, with the rain likely affecting their results.

Next up is the men's 110-meter hurdles, the most popular event among Japanese audiences at this Grand Prix. Liu Xiang is not only incredibly popular in China, but also extremely popular in Japan.

The moment he appeared, the stadium erupted at its loudest volume since the start of the competition. Many Chinese people in Japan had come specifically to see Liu Feiren.

"If Lu Wei's performance just now brought everyone a sense of awe, then Liu Yangyu brought joy. Awe can sometimes be oppressive, even suffocating, while joy is a release, a way to unleash one's emotions after the oppressive feeling has passed!"

Lu Wei smiled. This Coach Jiang was indeed no ordinary person. He was always thinking about the relationships within the Pinghen team and trying to find a balance for everyone. He said these words to Wang Qiao, but they were clearly meant for Lu Wei to hear, to make him feel better.

Lu Wei knew why he did this. The media was now sparing no effort to promote him, as if overnight a 100-meter runner who ran under 10 seconds was suddenly on the same level as a World Championships and Olympic double champion and a world record holder.

"Only those with outstanding work can earn respect. This is a normal situation, and Liu Feiren is the brightest star in this competition!"

Lu Wei appeared to be talking to himself, but he was actually responding to what Jiang Jianjun had just said, and they could definitely hear him.

Liu Feiren stood in lane 5 and, during his warm-up, leaped over a hurdle to get a feel for the competition and see if his Achilles tendon could withstand such an impact.

"Apart from Liu Yangyu and Shi Peng, the athletes competing today are all relatively unknown. Look! That American athlete has withdrawn from the competition!"

Zou Zhen sat next to Coach Sun and chatted with him about the game lineup.

"Today, the organizers specially arranged for four of their own players to play, which lowers the overall level of the competition, but that's how it's always been. Japanese viewers are basically watching this match for Liu Yangyu; they don't really care who the other players are!"

It seems like this is another game with little suspense. Coach Sun feels unfamiliar with the only black player on the field and can't remember his name. It seems like today's game will end like this.

After the referee let everyone onto the track, Liu Jingren continued to maintain his signature pose.

He stuck out his tongue slightly, looking completely fearless. Perhaps his opponent wasn't very strong today, because he was very relaxed as he prepared to start the race, smiling the whole time.

Sure enough, after the start, Liu Feiren took the lead from the first hurdle, and after clearing the last hurdle, he only slowed down slightly and crossed the finish line with a large advantage.

His time for this shot was 13.19 seconds, which dispelled the rumors circulating recently about Liu Jing's physical condition. This is also the message he wanted to convey: his physical condition is very good and there are no problems.

Lu Wei's competition is here again. This time, the organizers haven't invited any world-renowned athletes. Most of the participants are Japanese athletes, and in addition to Lu Wei, the Chinese track and field team has also sent a young athlete.

"This race was almost stress-free for Lu Wei, just like training. He put a lot of effort into the first 30 meters, which shows that the training in the 100 meters has made him more aggressive in the 400-meter start."

Coach Jiang and Wang Qiao talked, their eyes never leaving the competition field.

Lu Wei ran very aggressively, accelerating quickly in the first 200 meters and establishing a huge advantage early on.

In the final sprint of the race, he pulled more than 10 meters ahead of his opponents and began to slow down when he was 15 meters from the finish line.

"Xiao Lu ran really steadily with that shot, just like our classmate Liu!"

Coach Sun came over and chatted with Wang Qiao. Compared with the competitions of previous years, the Chinese track and field team not only maintained its dominant position in the 110-meter hurdles, but also showed strong momentum in other events.

In the five technical events, the Chinese track and field team has won three championships, making it the strongest performance by the Chinese track and field team in the Osaka Grand Prix in recent years.

"Not bad! Xiao Lu, you made the competition even easier than I did!"

Liu Fei punched Lu Wei in the chest, and the opponent's strong performance made him feel a lot of pressure relieved.

If he always wins championships by himself, the pressure on him will be significantly greater. There have been many changes in men's sprinting recently, and there are gradually more teammates who can help share the burden.

Lu Wei's time for this shot was 44.54 seconds, which wasn't particularly impressive, but it was more than a second faster than the second-place finisher.

华夏田径队的夺冠势头依然不减，在随后的比赛里。黄潇潇的女子400米栏优势极其明显，夺冠成绩为55秒22。张文秀在女子链球中以73米52夺冠。宋爱民在女子铁饼上以60米38获得冠军。

These competitions all have one major thing in common: the winning advantage is so obvious that it leaves no chance for the opponents behind.

The Grand Prix has a very tight schedule, with most events ending in a single shot. Except for field events, which are longer, track events are usually one shot after another with virtually no breaks in between.

Such competitions are like entertainment programs in Europe and America; viewers enjoy the competition as if they were attending a concert.

In Asia, event organizers try to cultivate this feeling among the audience.

At this point in time, all the world's top athletes have entered the crucial stage of preparing for the Olympics. When choosing competitions, most of them prefer to participate in competitions that are close to their training locations. Therefore, most of the athletes participating in the Osaka Grand Prix are Asian athletes, and the competition is slightly less entertaining.

The competition now has only two events remaining: the men's and women's 4x100m relays.
