Chapter 44: Rio's retirement: the end of an era in track and field



Wherever the Xiao family goes, the authorities make tighter security arrangements than for other politicians.

Xiao Zhen had spent nearly 10 days in a feast and revelry and had already received all the guests he needed to receive. Xiao Zhen also focused on training.

This is the last Olympic Games, and Xiao Zhen actually takes this competition very seriously. He hopes to improve his 100m and 200m results to the greatest extent.

On August 20, Zhennan arrived at Rio de Janeiro International Airport alone on an international flight and was picked up by a huge, exaggerated George Patton car. "Uncle Fan, this is too much. Is it really that messy?"

"They've cleaned it up a bit for the Olympics. Except for the wealthy areas, the rest of the city is always bustling with activity," said Fan Dabo, shrugging his shoulders in the passenger seat.

"I was thinking of suggesting to Dad that we go to the Amazon jungle now that we're here. Uncle Fan, is it okay? We shouldn't go too deep into the jungle." Zhennan said pitifully.

"That's possible. When we get to the campsite, we can take the heavy-duty armed helicopter from the security base here to take a look in the sky."

"Oh, this is great! I just want to see the Amazon River." Zhennan said happily...

"Son, why are you here?"

"I will definitely come to your last competition. By the way, my mother told me to go and support grandpa. What do you think?" Zhennan still wants to listen to his father and grandfather's opinions.

"Of course you can. You are going to be the grandson of the most powerful leader on this planet." Xiao Zhen said sarcastically.

"Dad, we're all family, and I'm still your biological son!" Zhennan rolled his eyes at his father.

"Come and talk to Dad. How's the collection of the experimental data Dad left for you going?"

"It may be much more than you expected. What made you think of it, Dad?"

"Here it is. I got the idea last year when I went to Northwest China with your Uncle Yang and often microwaved cold barbecue." Xiao Zhen pointed at his head and said arrogantly.

"My uncle and I also suspect this might be the case, but we have very different paths, and it's easy to go astray."

"This is what Dad left for some people on purpose!" Xiao Zhen said with a wicked smile.

"Dad, you are so mean! It's a pity that my second brother is busy with something. He hasn't posted on Weibo for a few months." Zhennan said, missing his second brother.

"He, I don't know how happy he is with his Master Tao." Xiao Zhen recalled his teacher calling him on the satellite phone to tell him that his devil was finally having fun.

At 18:30 local time on August 24, at the men's 200m sprint event at the Rio Olympics, on one side of the east and west stands was an exaggerated giant portrait puzzle of Xiao Zhen, and on the other side was a sign in Chinese, English and Portuguese that read "World Sprint Emperor - Xiao Zhen".

When Xiao Zhenyi, wearing a red sportswear and a pair of red Lion King memory foam running shoes, appeared on the stage, the noise in the entire stadium became louder and louder.

With "set"

“Go!”…

The players on the field rushed out like cheetahs, but Xiao Zhen did not hold back at all today. He was the first to cross the finish line like a whirlwind with a time of 17.18 seconds.

Then the fans in the stands danced and made noises, and Xiao Zhen, draped with the national flag and the district flag, proudly circled the field holding his youngest son Odin.

The next day at 4:00 p.m., there were only two events left in the entire Rio Olympics: the marathon and the men's 100-meter sprint.

Unsurprisingly, Xiao Zhen, dressed in red, once again set an unprecedented world record for men's 100-meter sprint: 7.18 seconds. This science and engineering man controlled two world records just right. What does it mean? This guy still has potential that has not been fully tapped.

During the last game, the big screen in the stadium played the highlights of Xiao Zhen’s games over the past 20 years. Well, the IAAF is very dedicated, and Xiao Zhen gives a thumbs up to their work.

Starting from this afternoon, the global network has been spreading the legendary 20-year track and field events of Xiao Zhen, the greatest track and field athlete on the planet.

All channels of Phoenix Media of Columbia broadcast "The World Sprint Emperor - The Legend of Xiao Zhen" uniformly in prime time at 19:30 in the evening.

At the end of the game that day, Xiao Zhen, draped with the national flag and the district flag, held an Osa and walked around the field carefree. Xiao Zhen didn't care anymore.

Sarah burst into tears as she watched this scene. This was the maximum public expression that Odin and Osa were his descendants from Xiao Town.

When he returned to the manor that night, Xiao Zhen got drunk with his family and new friends. He officially withdrew from track and field competitions from that day on. He retired.

However, Lao Huo said that he would hold a grand retirement ceremony for him at the Bauhinia Sports Center in Sai Kung, Hong Kong.
