Chapter 118 Six-sided Warrior
Chapter 118 Six-sided Warrior
"Lin Chen, well done!"
At the finish line of the men's 400 meters, Liu Changpu gave Lin Chen a big hug.
The men's 400-meter qualifying rounds also concluded at 4 p.m.
As expected, Lin Chen successfully qualified in today's 100m and 200m races, as well as the just-concluded 400m preliminary rounds.
In addition to the 100 meters, his performance in the 200 meters and 400 meters was also astonishing.
Men's 200 meters, 21.3 seconds.
400 meters, 47.53 seconds.
What do these two scores mean?
If this were a national competition, Lin Chen's results would have earned him the title of National Master Athlete in both events!
What's even more surprising is that both of these results were achieved after Lin Chen ran the first 100 meters and didn't rest for long before starting the next two events.
Looking at Lin Chen's grades, Liu Changpu couldn't help but admire his own brilliant decision.
Lin Chen is indeed a monster; he doesn't even get tired running like that.
This stamina, hmm... it has the flair of his younger days.
"Thank you, Coach Liu."
Lin Chen was also very excited to have passed the preliminary rounds of three events in a row.
How are you doing right now?
"Great, another kilometer is no problem."
"You kid..."
Liu Changpu patted his shoulder hard.
"Since you put it that way, then run at full speed tomorrow, don't hold back!"
"can!"
Lin Chen smiled confidently.
In fact, he deliberately held back his strength in all three projects today.
This was a task personally assigned by Liu Changpu before the competition.
After all, this was the first time Lin Chen had participated in three projects at the same time.
Although Liu Changpu believed in Lin Chen's physical strength, he was not sure if Lin Chen's physical strength would be enough for him to exert his full strength in all three events on the official field.
Therefore, before the competition, to be on the safe side, Liu Changpu specifically instructed Lin Chen to pay attention to his physical exertion while running, and to only ensure that he could pass the preliminary round.
"Lin Chen! Congratulations!"
At this moment, several of Lin Chen's track and field teammates rushed up, put their hands on his shoulders, and said with smiles:
"Congratulations on passing the preliminary rounds! And congratulations on earning the new nickname 'Hexagonal Warrior'!"
"A hexagonal warrior?"
Lin Chen looked puzzled.
……
Go back a few minutes.
Inside the live broadcast studio of Jinling TV.
The live stream is displaying Lin Chen's personal profile.
This information was filled out by the Donghai Track and Field Team when they registered Lin Chen. It mainly contains information about Lin Chen's athletic experience.
This information left special guest Coach Yao speechless.
"Coach Yao, look! It turns out that Lin Chen only joined the track and field team at Donghai No.1 Middle School!"
I remember he was in vocational school before, and only entered Donghai No. 1 High School after the winter break, right? That means he's only been training for a few months!
The host became more and more excited as he spoke.
"Incredible! I never expected Lin Chen to be so talented in sports! He's reached the level of a national-level athlete in just a few months! Coach Yao, I think Lin Chen is definitely a rising star in running!"
The camera pans to Coach Yao, whose face is flushed, clearly stunned by Lin Chen's performance, and he doesn't even notice that the camera is now focused on him.
"Coach Yao?"
He only snapped out of his reverie after being reminded by the host, and coughed once:
"It's truly incredible... If this resume is genuine, we might actually be witnessing a rising supernova!"
Coach Yao said excitedly, "You may not have a good idea of Lin Chen's resume, so let me put it this way: our Chinese pride, Liu Feiren, was a genius boy who entered the national team at the age of 16."
But he actually started track and field at the age of 7 and began running training at the age of 13. It took him three whole years to make a name for himself in the national competition!
Lin Chen achieved athletic prowess in just a few months—what does that even mean? It goes beyond mere talent! I think he should be called a once-in-a-century genius!
What's even more incredible is that Lin Chen not only possesses amazing explosive power, but also outstanding endurance and incredible speed! Judging from his running posture, his flexibility and balance are also excellent!
I know there's a player in the table tennis world who's been called a "hexagonal warrior" by overseas media. I think Lin Chen is pretty much the same; he could be called a "pentagonal warrior" in the running world..."
The host interrupted, "Coach Yao, you're wrong. Lin Chen should also be considered a well-rounded player. He has another characteristic: he's quite ordinary!"
Because of that one sentence from the host, Lin Chen's new nickname, "Hexagonal Warrior," immediately spread throughout the live broadcast room.
"A hexagonal warrior in the running world, terrifyingly so!"
"I think the host actually forgot to mention one thing: Lin Chen is also a top student! So he should be a seven-sided warrior!"
"He can participate in the National Mathematical Olympiad team and become a master athlete! I'm bowing down to him, I'm bowing down to this amazing guy!"
"Other people's kids join the math Olympiad team and become sports champions at eighteen, while I'm still struggling to get into a second-tier university!"
"I'm in love! I already loved Lin Chen, but after watching today's match, I love him even more! Being his girlfriend must be so wonderful!"
"Huh? Did the person upstairs make a typo?"
"Are you trying to make a suggestive joke upstairs? I have proof!"
"Holy crap! As a sports school student, I was thinking that at least I was physically stronger than him, but now I don't even have that advantage anymore! Does this man even have any weaknesses?"
……
Donghai City.
"Old Lin! Congratulations! Didn't you guys watch TV? Your Lin Chen is amazing!"
Lin Chen's uncle and his family entered the old shantytown house with excited expressions.
He shouted joyfully to his parents, who had returned home for the May Day holiday.
“I see! I see!”
Lin's father couldn't stop smiling.
"You've only just passed the preliminary rounds, right? There are still the semifinals and finals to come. It's too early to be happy!"
"It's getting late. Have you seen what they're saying online? With Lin Chen's achievements, forget about winning the provincial games championship, he might even win the national championship or the world championship in the future! Who knows, maybe our family will produce a Liu the Flying Man!"
Lin Chen's aunt said with a look of envy.
While nodding, Lin's mother said, "Oh dear, it's still early, hahaha, Lin Chen still has to go to university, hahaha..."
……
Chen Xiaoxiao's home.
Chen Cheng hugged his wife and pointed at Lin Chen on the TV screen, saying, "Honey, look! Our son-in-law is amazing! Even if he doesn't go to university, he'll still be a sports star!"
Xiaoxiao is going to be lucky from now on.
Meng Lan rolled her eyes at him and rubbed her temples frantically.
However, she couldn't help but sigh, Lin Chen had really been hiding his true abilities in the past.
I never imagined he was not only good at academics, but also so good at sports?
I really misjudged him back then.
