Sprint: This champion is a bit weird

Chapter 1 Standing at the National Games Stadium at the beginning
  "Hey, have you heard? Gong Wei is injured!"

"What? Gong Wei is injured? Is it true that God has blessed me in this magical city?!"

"Sun Haixi said that Liu Xiang has the level of 10 seconds. If the Guangxi team lacks Gong Wei, will the Magic City team really win the championship?"

"I can't tell. I heard that the substitute for the Guangxi team is a talented boy. Maybe Liu Xiang can't beat him."

"You underestimate Liu Xiang, right? He ran 12 seconds in the Athens Olympics, tying the world record. Could it be that he can't outrun a fledgling athlete?"

"Do you understand that there are specialties in the arts?"

"Then the 110-meter hurdles is 100 meters different from the 10-meter hurdles, and there are ten more hurdles?"

"Summer insects cannot speak of ice, even if I say so, you won't understand!"

"Ah, yes, yes, you, Mr. Bai Jing, know best!"

In the evening of October 2005, 10, Jinling Olympic Sports Center Main Stadium.

In the audience, people were whispering to each other about the latest news, and they were full of expectations for the upcoming men's 4×100m final.

Audiences from all over the country gathered here. More than 40,000 spectators were seated, and it was crowded and noisy.

Except for the cheering personnel organized by the provincial teams, a large part of the audience came here not only to witness and experience this quadrennial national sports feast, but also to meet someone.

A man who broke the European and American dominance of the straight track event at the Athens Olympics, making China proud, Asia excited, and the world shocked - Liu Xiang!
  One year has passed, although Liu Xiang unfortunately won the silver medal at the World Championships in Helsinki, the residual heat of the Athens Olympics is still affecting the Chinese people. He is still the sports superstar who can attract thousands of people.

Under such a halo and with such huge attention, if an athlete in Asia can defeat Liu Xiang, even if it is not in the 110-meter hurdles event, it will be enough to trigger a wave of public opinion.

"Wen Hao, go ahead with confidence!"

In the waiting room, Gong Wei, who had just become the 100-meter champion of the New Science and Technology National Games a few days ago, raised his hand and patted the tall and thin boy in front of him on the shoulder to encourage him.

With a heavy burden on his shoulders, Wen Hao also nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, brother Wei, I will definitely defend this gold medal for our Guangxi team!"

Huang Cheng, the director of the track and field team on the side, interjected: "Xiao Hao, don't be burdened. Our Guangxi team is worthy of this relay gold medal. It's enough to let go and run with your own style."

Players from several nearby provincial teams suddenly rolled their eyes when they heard this.

Look what your Guangxi team said?

But there's really nothing wrong with this.

The Guangxi team has always performed well in sprint events. Regardless of the ancient handwriting era, the Guangxi team has always won medals in sprint events in recent National Games.

At the Yangcheng National Games four years ago, although no one from the Guangxi team won the men's 4-meter medal, they still beat the crowd and won the gold medal in the men's 100×-meter event with their superior overall strength.

In the men's 100-meter flying competition a few days ago, Guangxi star Gong Wei showed off his prowess, defeating the new Universiade champion Hu Kai, known as the "spectacled flying man", and won the championship in one fell swoop.

In addition to Gong Wei, the Guangxi relay team also has Pang Guibin, the third runner-up in the 0.01-meter race who was only seconds behind Hu Kai. Winning the gold medal in the relay is a sure thing.

But no one expected that Gong Wei would suddenly suffer an injury during the warm-up session before the final.

With the loss of a senior player and the replacement of a new player, it may be a pity if the Guangxi team fails to defend the men's 4×100 event, but it is also acceptable.

Suddenly becoming the focus of the crowd, a young man named Wen Hao touched his head with refreshing short hair a little embarrassedly: "This is my first time to participate in a national competition. If you can finish it successfully, it will be considered a success."

There was a burst of laughter in the waiting room.

"Kid, we sports people can't be so humble, we must be tough-tempered, understand!"

“得了吧陈术，人家17岁就跑到10秒57了，伱个25岁的老毕登今年最好成绩也就10秒26，用得着你教？”

"I wonder, are all young people today so fierce?"

"Why don't you call me a genius boy? Don't wait until you come on stage later and you will be blown away by others~"

"It doesn't matter to me. I'm almost ready to retire anyway. The waves behind you in the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. If you get hit, you'll get hit."

Several athletes with cheerful personalities began to make noises following Wen Hao's words, which soon led to quarrels and verbal attacks among each other. For a time, the atmosphere inside and outside the stadium was filled with joy.

Wen Hao closed his eyes amid the noise.

He seemed not to care about the discussions around him, but in fact he simply found that none of these gentlemen could catch his joke.

But it's normal, after all, he is a reborn person who returned to 2023 from 2005 after experiencing intense Internet surfing in his previous life.

In addition, he was still playing e-sports jokes. If someone could catch it, he was afraid that he would become murderous. Wen Hao was born in 1988. Although he is a "post-80s generation", he surfed the Internet intensively in his previous life and read online novels, especially the rebirth novels.

Unexpectedly, he actually became the legendary "Reborn One".

I remember that the last thing I did before I was reborn was to invite seven girls to my house and have a party. It seems that it is better to be more restrained in this life.
  The year 2005 was a very important life node for Wen Hao.

After practicing sprinting for two and a half years, he joined the Guangxi relay team with his outstanding talent and participated in the Jinling 10th National Games with the team. He originally thought he would be able to show off.

However, because of his young age and lack of experience, he could only serve as a substitute even though his personal best score had surpassed the two 79-year-old veterans in the team: Yang Guangming in the first team and Zhang Yuan in the second team.

After the Jinling Tenth National Games, Wen Hao trained even harder. Regardless of the coach's objections, he directly pushed the intensity to the limit that he could not bear, and then
  Within one year, Wen Hao suffered a torn cruciate ligament and a ruptured hamstring. The devastating injuries caused Wen Hao to bid farewell to his athletic career early.

There are regrets, of course. After all, he failed to fulfill his athletic talent in his previous life. Watching his contemporaries and rising stars emerge, grow, and rise, he naturally feels infinite yearning in his heart.

If he had not increased the intensity of training without thinking and suffered such injuries, would his name have been left on the historical monuments of Chinese track and field and Chinese men's sprinting?
  Although, after saying goodbye to his career as an athlete, he still lived a wealthy life that most people would envy due to his family's support and his unremitting efforts.

But, which man can refuse the glorious moment of wearing the national flag and playing the national anthem?
  "The teams in the men's 4x100m final are ready to appear! Lane 1 - Where is the Fujian team?"

"to here!"

"The 2nd Demon City Team."

"To!"

“The 3rd Road Jiangsu.”

After hearing the noise, Wen Hao quickly took off his thermal top and trousers, revealing the Guangxi team's iconic purple uniform.

In Jinling in late October, the night temperature was already a bit cool, and Wen Hao couldn't help but shiver.

"Is it cold?"

"Well, I didn't expect the temperature to drop suddenly tonight."

Pang Guibin expressed concern while helping Wen Hao fix the number plate with a pin: "It doesn't matter if it's cold, everyone is cold. Just move your body more to keep warm."

"it is good."

Wen Hao nodded, feeling very grateful for Pang Guibin's concern.

"You start accelerating slowly. When you wait for the competition, just start at the usual training pace, or it's okay if you start a little earlier. I will definitely be able to keep up with you."

"Hmm, I'll see what happens."

While the two were making preparations, they continued to discuss optimizing the details of the relay.

The 4×100 meter relay event is not simply the sum of four 100 meters.

Four players need to hold the baton to hand over, and except for the first baton, the remaining three batons can be pre-run in advance.

In this way, when the previous player hands the baton to his hand, the player can quickly enter the high-speed stage of running on the way.

As long as there are no mistakes such as dropping the baton during the handover of the baton, the final score of 4×100 meters will definitely be less than the sum of the -meter personal best scores (PB) of the four team members.

The first player of the Guangxi team is Yang Guangming, with a PB of 10 seconds, created in 63. This year’s level is maintained at around 2002 seconds;

第二棒张园PB为10秒58，创造于2001年，今年水平维持在10秒6x；

第三棒庞桂宾PB为10秒37，创造于四天前的百米预赛，当前水平稳定在10秒35~10秒40之间。

The three of them are all experienced veterans. The personal abilities of Yang Guangming and Zhang Yuan seem a bit stretched, but they are not bad compared with their opponents in the same league.

After all, being able to run 10 seconds in this era is the absolute main force level of the provincial team, not to mention that Yang Guangming and Zhang Yuan were the relay champion members of the Guangxi team in the last National Games.

Being ordered to stand on the stage of the National Games at a critical moment, Wen Hao was required to serve as the fourth baton, which required low handover skills, but he was also the strongest in facing his opponents.

第1道福建队的郭凡、第2道香江队的邓亦峻、第3道江苏队的陈术、第4道魔都队的劉翔、第6道燕京队的胡恺。

These names, perhaps with the exception of Liu Xiang and Hu Kai, are little known to the outside world, but they can all be regarded as mainstay figures in the fields of Chinese track and field and Chinese sprinting.

The regrets of the past life, the track and field dream that I had no choice but to give up, start from this relay final!

　Purely cute, I hope readers can support me~
