Orc Undead Sports Warrior

In the following competitions, star athletes from various events showcased their abilities in front of everyone, which was undoubtedly a grand performance for athletes and coaches from all countries.

After the match ended, Lu Wei didn't leave but continued watching the next game with his two coaches. Watching other people's games was also a learning process for Lu Wei; after experiencing Warina's smooth rhythm, Lu Wei deeply understood its value.

The top athletes in each sport have their own unique characteristics. Some, like Wariner, have a strong sense of rhythm and a smooth running motion.

Other athletes either employ effective tactics during the game or always manage to find the final opportunity to deliver a decisive blow in the final moments.

As Lu Wei watched the athletes compete, he also carefully considered the feeling of exercising himself. Compared to Varina, he felt like he was exerting force with each step, and to run just as fast and powerfully in the next step, he had to push off the ground with all his might.

When his opponent surpassed him, Lu Wei could clearly feel the fluidity of his movements. He believed that such ability was clearly due to comprehension, and that training alone could not produce such a smooth and effortless effect.

Lu Wei kept trying to experience this feeling in his mind, but it was still difficult for his body to feel it.

The competition had reached its final event. Even if the schedule was unknown beforehand, just by looking at the audience's reactions, anyone familiar with track and field knew that Liu Jing, the sprinter, was about to take the stage.

On the big screen, Liu Xiang, the sprinter, stood on the track, confidently smiling and waving to the audience. Seeing Liu Xiang on the big screen further heightened the already excited crowd.

The crowd erupted in thunderous applause and cheers, but Liu Feiren maintained his smile. In his eyes, it was just an ordinary match.

In contrast, Robles, standing beside him with a serious expression, gave the impression that he was holding back a lot of energy and was ready to fight Liu Feiren to the death at any moment.

"Shh!" It took the commentator two or three reminders to quiet the audience. Everyone understood that a sufficiently quiet environment was needed for the athletes at the start.

At the referee's signal, the eight athletes immediately left the starting blocks and sprinted toward the first hurdle.

Liu Feiren's start was not outstanding, ranking only 3rd or 4th, with Robles in the lead.

"Liu Feiren's condition is average, and he seems to be having a bit of a hard time at the start. Robles has a very strong start, so it will be difficult for him to win today." Coach Jiang immediately analyzed the situation at the start of the race.

It wasn't until the third hurdle that Liu Fei managed to move up a few places in the crowd.

Lu Wei could also tell that Liu Feiren seemed to be struggling a bit today, probably because he wasn't in good form. He was making very obvious effort to hit each hurdle, as if he was afraid of hitting it.

Robles' athletic ability is already outstanding, and today he put in a lot of effort in the few steps between each hurdle, and his rhythm was very smooth. He ran ahead of the team, leading the runners by almost 1 meter.

By the seventh hurdle, Liu Xiang broke out of the second group and began to close in on Robles. In terms of hurdling technique alone, Liu Xiang's current strength is unmatched.

Robles' momentum shows no signs of slowing down, and Liu Xiang is also starting to get into form, now his attacks on the hurdles are almost touching the hurdles.

Robles probably realized that Liu was on the verge of overtaking him when he attacked the next three hurdles. So every time he attacked a hurdle, he pressed his leg down very hard, almost knocking the hurdle over as soon as he came over. This was the limit of his hurdle attack. If he was not careful, he might trip over the hurdle.

However, he held firm and blocked Liu Feiren's powerful offensive. In the final moments, both men lowered their heads and crossed the finish line almost simultaneously. However, it was still clear that Robles was slightly ahead, but by a very small margin.

After finishing the match, Liu Feiren stood with his hands on his hips, panting heavily; it was clear he had struggled greatly. Robles stood beside him, both of them looking up at the large screen in the arena.

Less than a minute later, the results of the participating athletes were announced on the big screen. Robles won the championship with a time of 13.13 seconds, while Liu Feiren's time was 13.16 seconds. The difference between the two was only a hair's breadth.

This result isn't good for either of them. During the National Athletics Championships, Liu Xiang, despite maintaining high-intensity training every day, could still run under 13.10 seconds in the finals. Today's competition only had one race, so the result can only be described as mediocre.

In recent years, a time of 13.10 seconds in the 110-meter hurdles has made winning the championship and even reaching the podium extremely difficult.

At this point, all the matches in the Shanghai leg of the Golden League had ended, and Coach Sun led Liu Jing to the athletes' lounge to begin post-match adjustments. Liu Jing lay on a massage bed, and the massage therapists from the coaching team quickly relaxed his muscles.

Coach Jiang led Wang Qiao and Lu Wei into the lounge: "It seems like Xiao Liu has been training really hard this year! He didn't seem very energetic during the competition, and his muscle strength was just average. He's about to participate in the World Championships, so don't ruin our world champion's training."

"We've been training at a high intensity for the past month or so, and we only lowered the intensity three days ago. Xiao Liu just said that he felt a bit floaty today. For the next ten days or so, we'll focus on adjustment, and we won't be scheduling any high-intensity training sessions. By the way, Xiao Lu's performance today was also quite good; he actually ran under 45 seconds. He's completely different in every race. I think he has a chance to win a medal at the World Championships."

Coach Sun and Coach Jiang were discussing Liu Xiang's training progress, sounding like they were reporting to a superior. The reason was simple: Coach Jiang was a member of the national team's coaching staff, and giving him a detailed account of Liu Xiang's recent situation was like indirectly reporting to Head Coach Feng.

Coach Sun handles work matters very well, and you can see that. His last sentence about Lu Wei was also very sincere.

"The biggest gap between Xiao Lu and Warina is in rhythm control. This American athlete should be in the prime of his career now. His technique is impeccable and his ability in the later stages is also top-notch. Our Xiao Lu still needs to improve to catch up with this opponent."

Wang Qiao objectively pointed out the gap between Lu Wei and the world champion, but his words revealed his expectations for Lu Wei. He had unintentionally compared Lu Wei to the world champion.

"Athletes experience highs and lows in their performance throughout the year. Although the differences in their results are not huge, they are enough to determine the final champion. Our goal is to enable athletes to perform at their best in major competitions. Over the past few years, our coaching team has gained a certain understanding of Xiao Liu's fluctuations in performance. After high-intensity training and some adjustments, he should be in good form for the World Championships."

When domestic athletes exchange training experiences, no one holds back. The progress of Chinese track and field is very slow. Everyone hopes to send their athletes to a higher level through their own efforts. Exchanging and learning from each other and taking the best from each other is a good way to make progress.
