Chapter 201 New Asian Records

On the podium, the leaders of both countries tried their best to remain restrained. The team members clung to the railings, cheering their teammates on with all their might.

In the final 30 meters, Lu Wei pushed off the ground with all his might and sprinted.

Asahara Nobuharu was behind him, his face contorted in pain. He had now overtaken Shen Liang and was only a body length ahead of Zhang Yuanteng.

He couldn't understand why, even though he had given it his all, this big guy was still widening the gap between them.

Am I getting old?

No, apart from Lu Wei, the other Chinese team members are also young, and they're not even behind me.

All I can say is that this Chinese man possesses explosive power rarely seen among Asians. I wanted to give him a go, but I've already been left far behind.

He saw the young man cross the finish line, while he himself had to run more than a step before reaching the finish line.

Watching the energetic young man in front of him swing his fist heavily, Nobuharu Asahara suddenly felt a little dejected, as if all his strength had been drained away.

He raised his head and looked at the sky. Having participated in the competition for so long, he always felt as young as a young man. How come he suddenly felt that his era was about to come to an end?

Perhaps I should give the opportunity to these young people in Jiangkou to hone their skills. I'm almost 36 years old and still working hard. I wonder if this will leave the next generation with nothing to show for their efforts.

Asahara Nobuharu finished a full body length ahead of the others, securing second place in the race.

At his age, Nobuharu Asahara won applause from the Japanese audience for achieving second place in such a competition.

Behind him, Zhang Yuanteng, Suetsugu Shingo, Shen Lang, and Tsukahara Naotaka crossed the finish line at almost the same level.

Jianglikou Kuangshi and Wen Ningyi were neck and neck, and it was difficult to determine the order in which they reached the finish line.

Former Japanese track and field head coach Keikaku Kobayashi, who was sitting next to Feng Yong, suddenly leaned back in his chair. The result of the competition had clearly exceeded his expectations.

He felt that Lu Wei was even stronger than he had imagined, and even the teammate who had almost broken the 10-second barrier, Asahara Nobuharu, was left far behind by him.

Of the remaining team members, it was initially thought that Shingo Suetsugu and Naotaka Tsukahara, both in their prime, would be able to completely suppress the younger Chinese players. However, the second group of team members only managed a draw.

It's worth noting that the Japanese relay team's four members have an age structure that is very suitable for achieving results in major competitions. Apart from Nobuharu Asahara, Shingo Suetsugu and Naotaka Tsukahara are both in their prime.

Surprisingly, Zhang Yuanteng and Shen Liang, despite their young age, displayed remarkable competitive ability.

When Kobayashi heard that these two could run under 10.2 seconds in China, he didn't find it surprising. Many athletes can achieve incredible results during training.

However, in the actual competition, many people cannot even perform at 80% of their potential.

Unexpectedly, these two young men fully demonstrated their abilities right under my nose.

As if resigned to his fate, Kobayashi Keikazu turned to look at his translator, then smiled and focused his gaze on Feng Yong.

"Congratulations, Mr. Feng Yong. Your country's track and field level has made considerable progress in recent years. Especially in sprinting, not only has Liu Xiang emerged, but we're also likely to see another star. The other young athletes also have great potential for future development!"

As the head of Asian affairs, Keikazu Kobayashi's life has changed. Seeing that the Chinese relay team dared to give free rein to train newcomers in the days leading up to the Olympics, he couldn't help but admire the boldness of Chinese athletics.

Just then, the entire audience suddenly gasped in surprise. Kobayashi Keikawa also turned his head to look at the big screen, where an astonishing result was displayed: Lu Wei, 9.92 seconds!

As if he couldn't believe his eyes, Kobayashi Keikazu took off his glasses, quickly wiped them with the corner of his clothes, and looked up at the big screen.

"That's right, that's right, this young man achieved an amazing result, his speed is truly breathtaking!"

Kobayashi Keikazu muttered to himself as he looked at the 100-meter finish line. Lu Wei, who had just set the Asian record for the 100 meters, looked as smug as a king. His teammates, upon seeing the result, rushed over to hug him impatiently.

He is already the core of this team. With Lu Wei as the core, the Chinese Athletics Team has successfully built a very strong relay team.

Even without watching their relay race, Kobayashi Keikazu could picture the scene of these young people competing together in the 4x100 meters.

"Looking at it this way, Nobuharu Asahara is indeed getting a bit old. We should recruit our own young people!"

Keikazu Kobayashi only hopes that the young people in his country can grow up quickly and be able to compete with this relay team.

But can it really be done? He kept asking himself that question.

Following Lu Wei is veteran Nobuharu Asahara, whose time is 10.15 seconds. He is in very good physical condition.

The scores of the other team members are as follows:

Zhang Yuanteng: 10.17 seconds

Susu Shingo: 10 seconds 19

Shen Liang: 10.20 seconds

Naoki Tsukahara: 10.23 seconds

Erikochi Masashi: 10 seconds 35

Wen Ningyi: 10.37 seconds

Wang Qiao was as happy as a child who had received candy. His team members had accomplished what he had always dreamed of and what he couldn't do in reality.

He kept pumping his fist and shouting, and his persistence and passion finally paid off.

The Japanese team members fell into a deathly silence. They had thought that Lu Wei might have just achieved a good result in a particular race, and it was impossible for him to maintain a high level of performance every time.

Especially in this kind of competitive atmosphere, even if he wins, his results are unlikely to be very impressive.

Unexpectedly, the height he has reached has far exceeded the strongest ability of the four people at present. Even if Nobuharu Asahara runs his best time, he will probably be a meter behind Lu Wei in this race, not to mention that he is now at the end of his career.

In the end, it was Nobuharu Asahara, the team's spiritual leader, who was the first to recover. He led his teammates to shake hands with each of the Chinese players.

Afterwards, he gathered the other team members together: "You've all worked hard. Although we lost the individual competition, team competitions and individual competitions are completely different concepts. Compared to the Chinese team, even if we add up our individual strengths, we are not inferior to them. Moreover, in the relay race, the slight advantage of an individual is insignificant. As long as we perform to our training level, we only need the time of the baton exchange to gain an advantage that they cannot catch up with. Everyone, let's do our best!"

"come on!"

Nobuharu Asahara quickly rallied the morale of the other team members. Japan's Olympic goal for sprinting is to win a medal in the 4x100m relay. Even without Lu Wei's performance, this group of athletes would not have been able to stand on the track for the Olympic finals.

"Damn it, it's raining! Does that mean I'm doomed this time? What's the point of even trying to get the A-level license now?!"

Seeing the raindrops falling continuously to the ground, Hu Huo suddenly realized that he was probably going to be left out this time.
