Orc Undead Sports Warrior

Chapter 95 Counterattack on the Sidelines

Merritt, who usually appears arrogant and unruly, seemed a little flustered at this moment. To be honest, his confidence was not convincing; it was more of a self-motivation.

It's true that he's the number two athlete on the US team in the 400-meter event, and it's also true that he's younger than Wariner.

尴尬的就是瓦里纳已经是400米历史上第3快的运动员,在本届世锦赛之前的最好成绩跑到了43秒5,梅里特只能勉强进44秒。

He is only two years younger than Wariner. If both of them can maintain their competitive form, they are players of the same era. Therefore, Merritt's confidence is more about the satisfaction and self-motivation of being second only to one person and above a hundred others.

He easily panics when faced with a player as dominant as Lu Wei in the final moments.

Merritt strode forward with all his might, his whole body swaying—a major taboo in track and field, something he couldn't possibly be unaware of, yet he still couldn't control his body.

However, Merritt has completely disregarded his image and ignored proper running form, making him look extremely disheveled.

Originally, Lu Wei had no chance of catching up with a gap of about 3 meters within 25 meters. However, he lost his composure and, just when he was only two steps away from crossing the finish line, Lu Wei suddenly appeared in front of Merritt and overtook him.

It feels like we've arrived a bit late; it's too late to catch up with Varina now, but it's still an unexpected result.

When the final results were announced, everyone gasped in surprise. Wariner ran 43.45 seconds, setting his personal best in the World Championships final, which was truly remarkable.

Lu Wei's performance was truly amazing, and his acceleration in the early stages also had a significant impact on his improved results.

Lu Wei's time was 43.77 seconds, leaving Warina more than 3 meters behind, but he has now joined the ranks of the world's top 400-meter runners.

This achievement is equivalent to running the 100 meters in under 10 seconds.

Poor Rashon Merritt's time was 43.96 seconds, barely breaking the 44-second barrier.

Angelo Taylor was badly hurt; after Lu Wei's wild sprint in the final moments, he became the biggest victim. Varina still won gold, and Merritt went from silver to bronze, but at least he got a medal.

Where are the medals you were promised? It's not easy to come all this way...

To participate in the world championships, the domestic selection trials are actually the most difficult barrier to overcome. After finally breaking through the ranks, Angelo Taylor only managed to get 4th place. After a moment of adjustment, he shook his head helplessly. Fortunately, he still had the 4x400m relay to rely on.

"Insane! Unbelievable! 19-year-old Lu Wei once again delivered a stunning performance in the 400-meter final. I don't need to recount what just happened. With this incredible sprint, Lu Wei broke the Asian record for the 400 meters held by Omani athlete Maleki, improving his time by nearly 0.8 seconds. It's incredible! This moment is a glory for China and for all of Asia. Congratulations to Lu Wei, and congratulations to the Chinese track and field team for achieving such a stunning result in the men's 400-meter event. Today is truly unforgettable!"

Lu Wei was still ecstatic after crossing the finish line. Remembering how that jerk Merritt looked down on him during the interview, the excitement of revenge made him run around the track. After running more than half a lap, he gave Liu Feiren, who was standing near the starting line of the 110-meter hurdles, a bear hug.

"May the spirit of the earth bless you!" After saying that, Lu Wei continued to run wildly along the track. A security guard tried to stop him, but Lu Wei knocked him back two or three meters, and he barely managed to regain his balance.

Liu Feiren stood there, completely bewildered: "What's the Spirit of the Earth? Is it a panda?"

Seeing this, the other security personnel didn't dare to go all out. They only earned a small salary each month, why risk their lives?

On the way, someone gave Lu Wei a Chinese national flag, which Lu Wei draped over his shoulders.

After returning to the athletes' tunnel, Lu Wei did not choose to go back to the area where China was located via the steps. Instead, he took two steps to climb onto the railing of the stands and then opened his arms and roared!

He was happy not because of his grades, but because he had rediscovered that passionate state, a feeling that made him feel as if he had returned to his past life.

This feeling is bloodthirsty, warm, and gentle.

"Lu Wei, congratulations! You've made history today. Are you happy?" Xia Yuena asked again, posing her most insightful question.

Lu Wei thought to himself, "This guy is really stupid. His IQ has never been online since the first day of the competition. I just ran a lap and I'm not happy. Is he expressing sadness?"

"Today's result isn't important. What's important is that I found my rhythm during the race. Also, it felt great to give Merritt and the Japanese media a good slap in the face. Let them keep fantasizing in the corner and keep finding pleasure in anime, you idiots!"

This was the third time Lu Wei had faced the reporter, and he had learned how to deal with the media: you say your piece, I'll say mine.

Several more witty questions were met with equally witty answers. Because Liu Xiang's 110-meter hurdles final was about to begin, Xia Yuena reluctantly prepared for the interview for the next competition.

"One last question, do you think Liu Yangyu can win the championship in today's 110-meter hurdles?"

"Liu Feiren will win!" Lu Wei clenched his fist and answered the question firmly.

Back in the track and field team's area, everyone present took turns giving Lu Wei a high-five, and the whole team's mood instantly brightened.

Last night at dinner, everyone was feeling down. But inspired by Lu Wei, the whole team believed that Liu Fei could change his fate in the competition by relying on his strength.

During the competition, Liu Xiang, who was in lane 9, still had a smiling expression on his face, but his eyes seemed to have a fierce look in them.

Among the finalists, Robles, Trammell, and Liu Feiren all have a chance to win the gold medal, and today's grand finale is about to begin.

"@%%¥!" The referee uttered a word as if he had something in his mouth, and all the participating team members stood up and stepped onto the starting blocks.

“¥%¥!” This time Lu Wei recognized the word; it should be “set.” Why is it so difficult for Japanese people to speak understandable English…

As the starting gun fired randomly, all eight athletes gave it their all, and the cheers from the audience immediately erupted.

The most annoying thing about lane 9 is that it's easy to be distracted by the audience during the competition, and it's difficult to observe the positions of all the opponents. However, it does allow athletes to focus solely on the competition and not dare to worry about anything else.

"The gun has fired! Robles is in the lead! Liu Yangyu is in third place, he's catching up, Robles is coming down, he's going to fight Trammell! Liu the Flyer has won!" With Yang Li's almost frenzied commentary, Liu the Flyer won the 110-meter hurdles with a time of 12.95 seconds!

Liu Xiang, the sprinter, had tears in his eyes, and the commentator was also sobbing. The pressure that everyone had been accumulating was finally released at this moment. Coach Sun wiped away his tears and hugged the other coaches: "I said it before, this year is the best year I have trained, and no one can stop me."
