Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Bell was an amateur and had not been trained for the competition.
These athletes standing on the track had long turned this sound into a reflex and muscle memory.
Once they heard the gunshot, they would immediately erupt and run with all their might. They did not even need to use their brains to give instructions.
As soon as they ran, Bell was already half a body behind everyone.
Wang Chao, who was watching the competition from afar, was so nervous that he could not say anything.
He did not even feel his nails dig into his flesh.
At this moment, he was shouting loudly for Bell.
“Faster! Faster!”
Wang Chao had always been a failure in track and field. Although he was lucky to be a national athlete, he had never won a gold medal. This made him feel very ashamed.
However, even so, the country still gave him the best accommodation.
But this made him feel guilty.
He felt that he was not qualified to receive this treatment.
Wang Chao was actually an extremely proud person.
......
Just like Bell.
Therefore, when he first saw Bell, Wang Chao felt like he had seen his shadow and hope.
He placed all his hopes on Bell.
However, Bell was not that nervous.
This was not the finals. It was just the first round. As long as he could enter the top three, he would be able to enter the next round.
Moreover, Bell was in a good mood.
Because he had found a way to run at a good speed without suppressing his attributes.
He only needed to follow the person in front and surpass him in the last ten meters.
This way, he could ensure that his results would not be too shocking.
He did not have to worry about not controlling his strength well.
As Bell had expected, the first place was indeed the Jamaican contestant.
Bell tried his best to put on an all-out expression.
But he was always half a body’s length behind.
In the coach’s seat, Wang Chao heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Bell run second.
At the very least, it would not be a problem to enter the finals like this.
However, at this moment, Wang Chao’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Bell suddenly began to speed up.
At this moment, not only was Wang Chao shocked, even the Jamaican contestant was shocked.
In the end, Bell passed the finish line at 9.82 seconds.
As for the Jamaican contestant who was behind Bell, he even forgot to look at his results and only looked at Bell in shock.
It was as if something terrifying had happened.
The entire 100-meter sprint was an explosive competition.
It was almost the same as rushing to the finish line at full speed.
After all, it was only a matter of seconds. Almost no one would preserve their strength on such a short track.
At least in all these years in this competition, they had never seen such a thing.
However, today, Wang Chao and the athletes present saw it for themselves.
The Jamaican athlete who landed half a body away from Bell looked like he was saying, “Are you kidding me?”
Bell did not say anything else.
He did not know that his actions were very abnormal.
But he also felt exhausted.
It was not because of physical exhaustion, but because acting was too tiring. It seemed like he did not have any talent in acting.
As soon as he got off the stage, Wang Chao excitedly hugged Bell.
It made Bell feel uncomfortable.
Fortunately, it was only for a moment before Wang Chao let go.
After encouraging Bell, he told him to go back and rest.
The competition progressed as Bell had expected.
The other two Chinese athletes were eliminated in the first round.
As for the second and third round, Bell used the same method.
He actually entered the finals as a seeded contestant.
On the other hand, the confident Jamaican contestant was very depressed by Bell.
Almost every time, he would take the lead and be followed by Bell.
When he was about to reach the finish line, he would be surpassed by Bell again.
As for the American contestant who had provoked Bell, he had already been eliminated in the second round.
He was just all bark and no bite.
Bell looked around and realized that the twelve athletes standing on the track were all black.
Only Bell stood out on the track.
“Bolt, be careful. That Asian is very strange.”
The Jamaican, who had been surpassed, reminded Bolt.
Hearing his companion’s reminder, Bolt looked at Bell deeply, indicating that he understood.
As a companion, Bolt knew his teammate’s strength very well.
He was only slightly better than his companion.
However, this Asian child had actually surpassed his companion three times in a row.
Surpassing three times in a row was enough to prove many things. It was definitely not something that luck could explain.
It was because the other party had true strength.
Among the twelve athletes on the track, Bolt could be said to be the center of attention.
After all, he had already won two gold medals.
Bolt was in his prime. Before the competition began, there were already people who predicted that Bolt had a high chance of winning three consecutive championships.
“Ready!”
The referee’s whistle sounded, and all the athletes instantly tensed up.
It was ready to erupt at any time.
A gunshot sounded.
Several black shadows jumped out at the same time.
As for Bell, he was still the same as before. He was behind Bolt this time.
Bell realized that Bolt’s starting speed was not particularly fast, but his speed was gradually increasing.
When he reached 70 meters, Bolt had already run from the second last place to first place.
Of course, Bolt was not the only one who received attention. As a seeded contestant, Bell also received such treatment.
After all, the results this time were really weird.
No one had expected that the first and second from behind would overtake everyone and become the true first and second place.
Especially Bell, who was following beside Bolt closely, as if he could surpass him at any time.
