Orc Undead Sports Warrior
Chapter 162 A formidable foe at our side
In the morning, besides the shot put qualification, there was also the 60-meter preliminary round. The two events were two hours apart, which was plenty of time for Lu Wei.
In the shot put competition, Lu Wei hardly exerted any effort and qualified for the finals on his first throw.
At this moment, Lu Wei felt relaxed. There was still at least an hour and a half until the 60-meter preliminary round, so he leaned against the stands and chatted with Shen Liang with great interest.
"Lu Wei, when we passed the market, I saw that the fruits and vegetables there looked really good. Why don't we buy some to take home before we leave?"
Perhaps because it was his first time participating in a competition under his own name, Shen Liang seemed very excited. His eyes were looking up, and he had a smile on his face. It was obvious that he was fantasizing about eating the fruit, and it looked like his mouth was about to water in a little while.
"Fruit can't go through customs. If you want to eat it, eat as much as you want here. Bringing fruit across customs is against customs regulations. Eat it when you have the chance! But don't eat too much, or you'll get an upset stomach and it will affect your training!"
The speaker was Zou Zhen, who was the deputy team leader of the Chinese sprint team and was responsible for the team members' training, food, accommodation and transportation in Valencia.
After these words were spoken, Wang Qiao nodded repeatedly. As Lu Wei's head coach, this was his third trip abroad, and there was no fruit in Osaka or Doha.
This is my first time visiting a coastal city that is famous for its fruit since I came abroad.
Many of the members of the Chinese track and field team who came with them had done their homework before coming to Valencia. Many of them had looked up information about Valencia and were hoping to have some free time, even if it was only half a day, so that they could get a basic feel for the local customs and culture of Spain's third largest city.
However, they knew it would be difficult. The competition lasted for three days, and by the time the last day ended, it was already 6 p.m. local time. At that point, they could only look at the city's night view. The next morning, the team would pack their bags and head to the airport.
So even though many athletes have visited many countries, they haven't really explored a single city in detail. They simply rush back home with their teams after the competition ends.
When checking in for the 60-meter race, Lu Wei discovered that there were more than 60 athletes participating in the preliminary rounds. Just looking at the registration form, it didn't seem like there were that many people, but when they saw the athletes checking in, they realized that the team was quite impressive.
When these team members stood together, the area within a radius of several dozen meters was completely filled.
"My God! Does this mean they've gathered every race?!"
Shen Liang looked at the crowd and sighed from time to time. This was probably the most densely populated competition he had ever seen.
The outdoor track and field was quite large, so we didn't realize how many people there were at the time. But once we got to the indoor track and field, the space suddenly became cramped.
The preliminary round consists of 8 groups. The top two teams from each group advance directly to the next round, and the top 8 players from the remaining teams also advance to the semifinals.
"This competition format is basically making you run like you're going to die from start to finish!"
Lu Wei thought to himself, but then he felt relieved. The race was only 60 meters long, so he should do his best from start to finish.
The strongest player in Group 1 is British player Chambers. Although his results have been average in recent years, his strength is still quite good.
Lu Wei was placed in the second group, along with American player Dixon and Portuguese player Obikveru. Judging from their strength, securing a direct qualification spot would be a tough battle for the three of them.
Almost every other group had a strong player on their roster, except for Shen Liang's group. Lu Wei had always thought Shen Liang was very lucky; this kid was rarely placed in a strong group during the preliminaries.
"Congratulations on successfully advancing to the semifinals! When the tiger's away, the monkey reigns supreme..."
Lu Wei glanced at Shen Liang with the look of an older brother looking at a younger brother. Everyone says that newcomers have good luck, but he himself seems to have never encountered a game where he was easily defeated since he started participating in the competition.
"Don't underestimate me, okay? I'm the team leader in this group, and first place in the group is mine!"
Shen Liang spoke with an exaggerated expression, then waved his right fist, extended his index finger, and imitated Bruce Lee's strange shout, trying his best to make an arrogant expression.
"Okay, you win!"
Seeing such an exaggerated expression, Lu Wei suddenly felt a bit nauseous. This guy's combat power was easily aroused. Compared to himself, he was probably more suited to be an orc.
The preparation time was long, but the pace was very tight once the competition started.
The first group of team members had already gotten on the track, and with the sound of the referee's starting gun, the team members of the first group suddenly rushed forward.
Although Chambers is of average height, he is very muscular, and his height of around 1.8 meters makes him seem very suitable for short-distance events like the 60-meter dash.
He led almost from start to finish, and didn't make any sprinting movements when crossing the finish line. It was clear that he was holding back in this preliminary round, not exerting too much effort. These athletes are all shrewd; they know how to conserve their energy in a competition with three races in one day.
The results are in: Chambers' time is 6.69 seconds, which is indeed not a very good result. For Lu Wei, this can only be considered his training result.
Lu Wei knew that Shen Liang must want to express something at this moment. He turned around and saw that the guy was indeed waiting for him to turn around. When he turned around, he made a chop motion across his neck. The group's performance was indeed not very good.
The Tongan team member who came in last in this group even ran a time of 7.7 seconds in the race, a time that is definitely not faster than that of the talented students from the Chinese junior high school.
When it was the second group's turn, Lu Wei stopped thinking about things. He was in lane 6, Dixon was in lane 5, and Obikveru was in lane 3.
At this moment, Dixon was like a fighting dog that couldn't wait to enter the arena. He paced around, stretching his shoulders as far as possible, looking like everyone owed him 1000 dollars.
Lu Wei felt that he was even better at putting on an act than Shen Liang. Among the team members present, those who were on par with him would definitely not be afraid of his demeanor, while those who were afraid of his aura were definitely far inferior to him in terms of strength and could not outrun him at all.
In Lu Wei's eyes, he looked more like someone who was constipated.
As soon as the results for the first group were announced, the referee at the starting line began speaking through a walkie-talkie.
After receiving confirmation from the finish line referee, the referee immediately began giving the starting signal in English.
"Onarks!"
Lu Wei snapped out of his reverie. The race was about to begin, and if he lost focus in a race of this caliber, his opponents might have already crossed the finish line by the time he came to his senses.
