More than a month after we met again, Zhao Si officially embarked on the Olympic journey.
Gu Lingfeng went with him. Ji Mubai, Sunan, Qi Heng, Lu Chi, Li Yilin and others would also come in a few days. After all, the opportunity to watch the Olympics was not rare, but it was quite cool to have friends participating in the competition as athletes.
Zhao Si also wanted to take his grandparents with him to travel abroad, as he had never been abroad before. However, his grandparents refused, saying they were old and didn't like flying, as it hurt their hearts, so Zhao Si had to give up.
When the athletes were officially announced, Zhao Si, who had almost been forgotten by the public, became a hot topic again. Netizens were all confused and unbelievable. The gap was really too big.
A good star was arrested in public, and it was because of such a shocking report from a spy. Everyone thought he was finished, but he turned out to join the national team and even participated in the Olympics. Who would believe this twists and turns experience?
Believe it or not, Zhao Si had already arrived in the United States. The national team chartered a direct flight. Gu Lingfeng couldn't go with them, but he was rich. He had a first-class, five-star hotel, and his food and accommodation were much better than Zhao Si's.
Zhao Si had been looking forward to his trip to the United States before arriving. The competition was one reason, but also curiosity. He had never known there were so many different races in the world. Although he later learned about them, he only saw one or two occasionally. An opportunity like this, to penetrate deep into the people's base camp, was a rare opportunity.
He arrived at the Olympic Village with great anticipation. Along the way, he saw all sorts of people—white, black, mixed, blue-eyed, green-eyed, and even brown-eyed. Like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, he was filled with wonder and excitement. But his excitement vanished after a meal. He couldn't help but send Gu Lingfeng more than a dozen 30-second voice messages, lamenting his disappointment. The food there was truly awful, and he wanted to return home!
Gu Lingfeng almost died of laughter, feeling very gloating. He took a photo of the premium steak he was enjoying and sent it to Zhao Si. Zhao Si replied with a long string of emoticons, criticizing him in various ways.
Zhao Si's participation in the Olympics this time can be said to have attracted much attention. Most people hope that he can achieve good results, and even hope that Zhao Si can end China's record of zero medals in the men's 100-meter sprint for more than a hundred years.
After the official announcement of the list of athletes, many netizens found Zhao Si's previous running videos on variety shows. At that time, his best result was 9.90 seconds, which is already top-notch in China and ranks well internationally. So although everyone's expectations are a bit unrealistic, they are not completely impossible to achieve.
After four months of training, Zhao Si has made great progress. There is no problem with his concentration, explosive power, endurance, mentality, etc. He just doesn't understand the technique, and he wastes some time when starting. There is also a lot of room for adjustment in his running posture. These have been his key training projects in the past few months, and the training results are gratifying.
The men's 100m sprint event was held on the third day after the official start of the Olympics. The entire schedule was divided into three days, with preliminaries, semifinals and finals each taking up one day.
A total of 87 athletes from 56 countries and regions participated in the men's 100-meter sprint at this Olympics. Preliminary rounds were divided into 11 groups of eight athletes each. The top eight athletes, based on their preliminary results, advanced to the semifinals, which were divided into two groups of four athletes each. The four fastest runners in the semifinals advanced to the finals to compete for the gold, silver, and bronze medals.
Zhao Si was the fourth group to compete. He was unlucky. His group included athletes from four of the five continents, but no Asians. Standing on the track, Zhao Si's 185cm height was particularly impressive. Next to him stood a towering 194cm black athlete, who accentuated his handsome features. Many viewers watching the livestream were stunned, praising Zhao Si's handsomeness.
Zhao Si was preparing on the track, jumping up and down to stretch his arms and legs. He was very calm and not nervous at all. It was just running, he had been running for more than 20 years, there was no reason why he wouldn't be able to run if he changed places. The coach had analyzed the situations of other players in this competition for him, and as long as he performed normally, he would have no problem reaching the semi-finals.
Zhao Si wasn't nervous, but Gu Lingfeng and Sunan were incredibly nervous. The Olympics! These were the Olympics! The handsome men in the stands, each one pursed their lips, cupped their hearts, forming a beautiful sight. This time, Sunan, Ji Mubai, Li Yi, Lin, and Lu Chi were present; the others were regrettably absent.
Qi Heng had already graduated and was now working at the best public hospital in Beijing, completely overwhelmed and unable to leave. Chen Chuan was a workaholic, but he wasn't as busy as Qi Heng was now. He'd really wanted to come this time, but he had a court hearing in the next two days. And Chen Tong, let alone Chen Tong, was a programmer who was lucky enough not to pull all-nighters. How could he have time to watch the Olympics?
After all, the second generation of rich people are happier. No matter how busy they are, they can always find time to play. If there is anything, they can just ask their subordinates to do it.
However, there are exceptions, such as Gu Lingyun. Gu Lingfeng also warmly invited his brother and sister-in-law. Ye Bingzhu was free but Gu Lingyun was not, so he couldn't come.
Ye Bingzhu had been quite free lately. She had already resigned from Gu's. After more than six months of study, she had come to a clearer understanding of herself: she simply wasn't cut out for managing a company. She decided it would be better for her to focus on her art. As for the company, Ye's father would manage it in a nonchalant manner for now. If her brother lost interest, they could discuss closing it down or hiring someone else to manage it.
Ye Bingzhu had taken a year off from school when Mr. Ye fell ill, and now that time had almost passed, Ye Bingzhu had been reviewing and preparing to return to school. Gu Lingyun was very supportive of this, supporting everything Ye Bingzhu did, but the thought of separating from his wife soon made him a little depressed.
