Chapter 231 Don't worry, I've got you covered.

Thanks to his stunning performance in the 100-meter final, Liu Wei instantly became a national celebrity. To date, the Chinese Olympic delegation has won nearly 30 gold medals, but from this day forward, their brilliance has been overshadowed by Liu Wei's performance.

Both television and print media placed the news of the match on their front page, with close-up shots of Liu Wei dominating the headlines of all media outlets.

Liu Wei's current media appeal even surpasses that of Liu Xiang four years ago when he won the Olympic gold medal in Athens with a world record-tying performance.

Sprinting is a mainstream event in track and field, and the 1-meter dash is the mainstream of the mainstream. A breakthrough in this event has a far greater impact than in niche events at the Olympics.

Table tennis and badminton also have a large following. However, the world pays more attention to sports like track and field and swimming, which better showcase individual physical abilities. In addition, there are team sports like football and basketball that require teamwork.

In track and field events, the 1-meter dash is obviously more eye-catching than events with higher skill requirements like the 11-meter hurdles. The more a competition emphasizes physical ability, the more likely it is to ignite the audience's passion.

6威这次比赛夺得银牌和末续慎吾在2oo3年获得世锦赛2oo米铜牌有不小的差别。同是为亚洲运动员获得突破,末续慎吾当时的成绩是2o秒38,这个成绩能获得铜牌与很多短跑运动员没有参加当年的2oo米比赛有很大关系。

Compared to him, Liu Wei's ability to stand on the podium in this competition was not due to luck at all, but rather to his own hard work and strength, which earned him this silver medal.

Ten years ago, he could sweep all the championships in this event; ten years from now, apart from Bolt and Williams himself, it would be difficult for anyone to surpass his achievements.

The next morning, when Liu Wei's parents went to work, everyone they met praised him for being a good child. This made the elderly couple very proud; praising their son was praising themselves. Without their upbringing, could they have such a good child?

In reality, its effect was not as great as they imagined!

August 17th, the third day of the Olympic track and field competitions.

Wei doesn't have a match today, and yesterday's match almost drained his energy, so he doesn't plan to get up early for training. Everyone wants him to get a good night's sleep.

Liu Wei got up and checked the time; it was almost lunchtime. He sat up in bed, stretched vigorously, and felt much better than the day before, except for some soreness.

Indeed, sleep is the best way to restore physical strength.

After a quick wash, Liu Wei met up with the other members of the national team and headed towards the athletes' restaurant.

"Liu Wei, you always eat steak, vegetables, and milk. Your eating habits are so strange, you're just like those foreigners!"

Shen Liang brought over the plate. He would rather eat monotonous Chinese food every day than eat those seemingly monotonous Western dishes like Liu Wei.

"Calling you a country bumpkin is really an understatement. The food we eat doesn't have any extra additives and is closer to the natural state. Don't be fooled by the small amount; it definitely provides more nutrition than your plate of stir-fried pork with chili peppers. What are you pretending to be so knowledgeable about!"

Zhang Yuanteng retorted without waiting for Shen Liang to continue speaking or for Liu Wei to reply.

Liu Wei watched with a smile as they bickered and argued with each other.

True brotherhood isn't built on mutual politeness or flattery. It's formed through mutual friction, compromise, understanding, and ultimately, mutual recognition and respect.

"Don't worry, my body can still hold up. I wasn't feeling well after yesterday's race, but I'm almost fully recovered today. I can't be so easily exhausted. I still want to win a medal with my buddies in the relay! As long as I have a breath left, I'll give it my all, don't worry!"

Liu Wei's sudden statement made the other members of the relay team stop listening, and their eyes gleamed with excitement.

"You said it yourself! If you're too exhausted for the later races and can't participate in the relay, you better watch out!"

Liu Wei looked at Shen Liang and nodded with a smile. This guy never backs down and finds it difficult to express concern for others in a normal way; that's just his way of communicating.

On the way to the restaurant, Wang Qiao told me that when he was in a daze during the game yesterday, Shen Liang almost jumped off the stands to get to Liu Wei's side.

The stadium security and volunteers weren't pushovers; they simply pushed him back. If spectators could freely enter the stadium, dozens of burly men could easily come down and stand by the track with their arms crossed, making Bolt's legs go weak at the start. If the same situation had occurred in Osaka last year, when Liu Wei redeemed Shen Liang, wouldn't the entire Japanese crowd have launched a "banzai charge"?

Actually, putting aside Liu Wei, the young men on the relay team are all very talented. If they train well, their performance will not be bad when they reach their peak.

It's truly because of the appearance of the Six Great Demon King that the efforts and growth of the other team members seem somewhat overshadowed.

"As long as everyone does their best, we'll all give it our all. The burden of the relay race can't be placed on your shoulders alone. We all have to work hard. We've been training so hard for so long, and this is our chance!"

Hu Huo's words sounded much more agreeable than Shen Liang's, but upon closer analysis, the main points were largely the same. Zhang Yuanteng and Wen Ningyi nodded repeatedly beside them, their eyes gleaming with barely suppressed excitement; they clearly longed to win a medal.

At the Olympics held on their own doorstep, everyone wants to leave their mark on history, even if it's just winning a bronze medal, to prove that their trip was worthwhile.

In the afternoon training session, Liu Wei first ran several sets of 400-meter races. The first event tomorrow morning is the 400-meter preliminary round, and he will have to compete in the following days. As the saying goes, "A few minutes on stage requires ten years of hard work off stage."

6 Wei's statement doesn't seem to fully reflect his current competitive state. Since participating in track and field competitions, he has almost always had a long competition time. Sometimes he hasn't even recovered from the previous competition before he has to prepare for the next one.

While everyone else was training enthusiastically, Liu Yangyu was the only one who seemed a bit quiet on the training field. He had been training for several hours, either focusing on localized strength training or doing muscle stretching.

After arriving at the Olympic venue, Liu Wei recalled only seeing him practice on the field a few days ago. After that, he was either doing physiotherapy or training in the weight room, so it seemed that the condition of his Achilles tendon was not very optimistic.

Remember, tomorrow's first event is the 400-meter preliminaries, and the 110-meter hurdles will start around 11 o'clock. Liu Wei glanced at Liu Xiang, hoping that he wouldn't be affected by injuries tomorrow and could run a few races well at the Olympics.
