Although this spectacular competition has ended, the story doesn't end there. Following the successful conclusion of the Olympics, Bolt didn't hesitate to generously donate $50,000 to the earthquake-stricken areas of China, demonstrating his compassion and care that transcends national borders. In a later interview, he said, "The Chinese people are the most lovable people I've ever met, incredibly warm and welcoming. China is also a mysterious country; my visit gave me a unique experience, and I saw a China different from what others had described. I believe China will continue to improve, and I look forward to visiting China again."
Of course, all of that is a story for later. Right now, we are still on the field of fierce competition, the atmosphere tense and exciting.
Especially on this night, Qian Duoduo seemed to be caught up in the atmosphere of the competition, her enthusiasm exceptionally high, as if she were the one running the race. This intense environment stirred a unique emotion within Lu Yuan.
He held his wife tightly, her body already drenched in sweat, as if afraid she would disappear if he let go. Then, he couldn't help but kiss her beautiful face again and again, whispering, "My dear wife, you're so passionate tonight!"
Hearing her husband's praise, Qian Duoduo nestled shyly in Lu Yuan's arms, took a breath, and said, "Darling, I have mixed feelings right now. On the one hand, I'm really happy because our son's dream of many years is about to come true; but on the other hand, I feel a little regretful and sad, after all, he was only 0.013 seconds away from surpassing that black athlete."
Lu Yuan smiled and kissed his wife's cheek again, gently comforting her, "Honey, you're not thinking about it that way. You should look at it from a different perspective. Our son is currently the world's second-ranked fighter! And he's so young, his future is full of endless possibilities, and he could surpass the number one at any time. Besides, even if he becomes number one, it's not necessarily a perfect thing. After all, the higher you climb, the harder you fall, and you'll always face strong challenges and pursuit from your rivals. As the saying goes, 'It's easy to conquer a city, but hard to defend it!'"
Qian Duoduo shook her head gently and said earnestly, "Honey, I just feel indignant for our son. It's only 0.013 seconds, but it could very well be a huge chasm that's hard to cross!" After saying that, she couldn't help but sigh softly.
When Lu Yuan heard his wife say this, he sighed helplessly and earnestly advised, "Wife, this is putting a lot of pressure on our son."
However, Qian Duoduo shook her head firmly again and replied, "How could that be? I can put pressure on you because we're very close, but I would never do that to our son!"
At this moment, Lu Yuan looked at his wife's rare, almost coquettish and adorable expression, and a deep affection welled up in his heart. So, he couldn't help but reach out and take Qian Duoduo's hand, and the two of them snuggled together, spending another warm and sweet night, feeling no fatigue even as dawn broke.
The next morning, as sunlight streamed into the room through the window, Qian Duoduo and Lu Yuan woke up refreshed and in high spirits. Qian Duoduo, in particular, looked radiant, and her affection for Lu Yuan was even stronger, as if they didn't want to be apart for a moment.
Today is a special day for them, as Lu Hao will be competing in four events. These include the men's 4x100m relay, the mixed 4x100m relay (minimum race and semifinals), and the 400m heats. The schedule is quite packed. More importantly, Lu Hao plays a crucial final leg role in all of these races, responsible for the final sprint. Therefore, faced with such a dense and important schedule, Qian Duoduo's excitement is completely ignited, and his adrenaline is soaring.
Especially when witnessing the men's 4x100m relay, Lu Hao's Chinese team's outstanding performance, securing first place in the group stage and surpassing the Japanese team, filled Lu Hao with excitement. Not only that, but in the subsequent semi-finals, the Chinese team displayed even greater strength, quietly suppressing the renowned speed-based American team to second place! At that moment, the entire stadium seemed to ignite, the cheers of the audience like surging waves, one after another, deafening and overwhelming.
Those watching the game on television were equally excited, shouting at the top of their lungs, releasing their overwhelming joy and pride. Everyone clearly realized that Lu Hao, as the last runner on the team, played a crucial role in this match.
In that crucial final bend and the subsequent straight sprint, Lu Hao unleashed his most powerful and astonishing strength, like a wild horse broken free. He raced forward with lightning speed, every step filled with boundless passion and determination. And according to national data monitoring, Lu Hao set a personal best in the final 100 meters of this semi-final – crossing the finish line in just 9.92 seconds! It's worth noting that even in the long history of the world's 100-meter sprint, such a result is exceptionally outstanding and dazzling!
In the mixed 4x100m relay, Lu Hao once again demonstrated his amazing strength and tenacious fighting spirit! As the race entered its final sprint, the entire audience held their breath, their eyes glued to the athletes speeding past on the track. Lu Hao shot forward like an arrow, moving with lightning speed. Although the Australian team members also gave their all, Lu Hao, with his outstanding explosiveness and superb technique, subtly suppressed his opponents, ultimately crossing the finish line first and securing first place in his group, thus advancing to the next round!
It's important to understand that sprinting has long been a weak link in China's national sports. While it's considered decent within Asia, it pales in comparison to other countries and regions excelling in track and field on the world stage. However, this Olympics has been a turning point, propelling China's sprinting performance into the global spotlight. This is not only due to the tireless efforts and outstanding performances of athletes like Lu Hao, but also the result of the entire team's unity, scientific training, and long-term accumulation of experience. It is believed that in the future, China's sprinting will achieve even greater success!
