Orc Undead Sports Warrior

Seeing his main rivals throw around 90 meters, American athlete Gale became a little uneasy. It's worth noting that his best result this year was 91.36 meters, achieved during the World Championships qualifiers.

If such a result were achieved in this competition, the psychological defenses of other opponents would likely crumble very quickly; it is a very difficult mountain to overcome.

盖尔的身高1米88，不过体重达到了102公斤，这个体重比1米95的陆威还有重。

If the others are light weapons, then Gale is undoubtedly a heavy artillery piece. His height and weight ratio makes it difficult for him to have the same strong speed at the start as Pete Camaraki and Lu Wei.

His strength lies in his long starting distance, using inertia to propel himself into the throw.

Gayle fouled on his first shot, and on his second shot, he didn't prepare conservatively.

He grabbed the javelin and roared. There was still plenty of time left in the race. Perhaps because he was too eager to exert himself, his javelin was somewhat vertical in the air, and it felt like the javelin was significantly affected by air resistance.

After the javelin landed, the audience sighed. Gale had tried her best, but the result was a bit disappointing. Her 80.67-meter throw only placed her 8th out of 12 athletes. For such a strong athlete, this result was somewhat embarrassing. If she does the same thing next time, even making it into the top eight will be a problem.

"The third round is very important for the athletes. After the first three rounds of throwing, the top eight athletes will throw in order of their scores from lowest to highest."

The players with the worst scores in the first three shots go out first, followed by the players with the best scores. This way, the players who go out later not only have a better score but also a significant psychological advantage.

Yang Li took the opportunity before the next player went on stage to review the game rules with everyone again.

In the third round, Cuban player Martinez committed a foul on his first shot. Whether he can make it into the top eight depends on the performance of the players who follow.

Latvian athlete Vasilvisgis, who was the third to take the field, also committed a foul on his first throw. He committed two fouls out of three throws. Fortunately, his second throw reached a distance of over 84 meters, a result that would essentially secure him a place in the top eight.

Ivanov, who followed, also had an unsatisfactory result, only managing a little over 81 meters.

Since Pete Camaki threw over 89 meters, his teammates have been noticeably affected, either losing their form or committing fouls. Few have been able to maintain their composure.

Twelve people take turns throwing, with an interval of about 15 minutes between each throw. If the weather is bad, it is difficult for the athletes to maintain their form.

It's the rainy season in Osaka now, and the fact that it didn't rain during the match a few days ago was considered a miracle.

After the shot put competition began, a light drizzle started to fall, and by the end of the two rounds of throwing, the rain had intensified. Ivanov was hesitant and timid during his throws, not daring to exert any force at all. He was worried that if he twisted his ankle, he wouldn't be able to continue the competition. He figured he could always push himself harder later if he had the chance.

"Is there any justice in the world? It rains right after he throws a good score. Did he succeed in praying for rain?" Lu Wei said with a displeased expression. In this weather, it's basically like wearing roller skates. If you put your strength into it, you can probably slide two meters on the ground. This is terrible.

"This weather will greatly affect our performance. Lu Wei will face a lot of difficulties today, so be prepared!" Coach Jiang took out a raincoat from his bag and put it on. The elder who had prepared it finally came in handy.

"Keep a calm mind. I don't have any extravagant desires now. I just hope that Lu Wei can perform at his normal level. In fact, he has already broken the national record, so I'm satisfied!"

Wang Qiao wiped the rain from her head; the rain was pouring down even harder than before.

When it was Lu Wei's turn to enter the arena, applause rang out. The Japanese audience may have previously harbored a great deal of hostility towards this young man, but as he achieved one success after another, their attitude towards him changed considerably.

In addition, the Chinese track and field team's performance in the past two days has attracted many Chinese spectators. On the last day, everyone came specifically for Lu Wei, and the audience's response to Lu Wei's appearance was very positive.

Lu Wei now not only has to achieve good results in his throws, but also has to adapt to competing in the rain, which adds to the difficulty of this competition.

Lu Wei took a deep breath while holding the javelin. This time, he started from a farther position than before, intending to set the distance further to allow ample space for the throw.

Lu Wei picked up the javelin, ran at a steady pace for a bit, and feeling that the grip of his shoes was okay, he increased his speed slightly. When he was about 3 meters away from the throwing line, Lu Wei released the javelin.

However, his supporting foot slipped a bit when he threw the ball, and Lu Wei slid forward more than a meter when he put the ball down.

The arc of the javelin this time was still average, but it still exceeded the 85-meter mark after landing.

"Wow, Lu Wei is probably going to break the national record again. You can tell with the naked eye that it's going to be even further. The referee on the inside has raised the white flag. There's nothing wrong with this shot. Let's see how Lu Wei's shot turns out!"

"Lu Wei's result is out. His throw was 85.67 meters. Under such weather conditions, Lu Wei's throw still achieved a good result, which is obviously more impressive. Lu Wei is now ranked 3rd among the 12 team members, which is a very good result."

Yang Li's enthusiasm surged again when he saw that Lu Wei had the potential to break the national record once more.

Lu Wei was basically satisfied with this throw. This time, he wanted to try out the feeling of throwing in the rain. He didn't use his full strength, and the result was better than before. He planned to use the next three throws to gradually try out the best way to throw in the rain.

Next up was Peter Camaraki, the 10th to take the field. His shot was clearly a bit half-hearted, as he was trying to find his rhythm. The shot only went a little over 82 meters.

Norwegian athlete Torgildsen used a diving motion for his throw, similar to Pitkamaki's second throw. He tried to minimize the impact of the slippery ground during his flight. Although his throw only reached 84 meters, it inspired Lu Wei to use this method to avoid sliding out of bounds during the throw and to avoid wasting distance.

Gale, the last to take the field in the third round, threw his best result of the competition, 84.37 meters. This throw placed him in 7th place overall and earned him a chance to throw three more times. However, for a player who had achieved the best result of the season, this way of advancing was a bit risky.

Through these few throws, Lu Wei realized that javelin competition is actually a throwing performance, and the purpose of the competition is to throw the javelin farther.

For an orc warrior, such a requirement is meaningless. The opponents on the battlefield are all moving, and with such a high launch height, the area that can be covered when the weapon lands is only a very small area.

In war, the purpose of throwing a javelin is to kill the enemy. A smaller arc is more effective at piercing the enemy, rather than launching a useless stick.
