The women's sprint group competition started first. A total of 32 runners were divided into four groups.
Guan Sangyue is in the last group. Her previous best time of 100 meters was 10 seconds 94. If she wants to be in the top three this time, she must run 10 seconds 85, and it also depends on the performance of others.
From 10 seconds 94 to 10 seconds 85, the gap seemed to be only 0.09 seconds, but it was like a natural chasm lying in front of her.
As she walked onto the runway, she clasped her palms together and said silently: "God bless, God bless!"
"Bang!" The starting gun sounded, and the eight female players rushed out like arrows!
Guan Sangyue blew up a gust of wind and was the first to cross the finish line with a score of 10 seconds 71!
Seeing this result, she was stunned: "Oh my god, could it be that I ran away?"
10 seconds 71, ranking among the top five best times ever achieved by Chinese female athletes! The previous best time for women's 100 meters was 10 seconds 67, which was set by Li Xueman in 2025!
At this time, not only Guan Sangyue was stunned, but also the referee team was inexplicably surprised.
"Guan Sangyue has made such great progress? It's great! There is hope for women's sprinting!"
"If we maintain such results, we can at least make it to the Olympic finals! If we perform well, we may be able to get a medal! It's exciting to think about a Chinese female athlete getting a medal in the 100-meter race in the Olympics!"
Guan Sangyue walked off the track in a daze and sat on the edge of the field without saying a word.
She felt like she was in a dream: "What if the competition was so easy? Do I still need to train hard? Why did I perform so well today? Could it be that the jade talisman given by Lu Cheng really worked?"
Apart from the jade talisman, she couldn't find any other reason. Her strength has long been determined, and it is impossible to make a leap overnight. From 10 seconds 94 to 10 seconds 71, the difference is 0.23 seconds. As such a high-level athlete
Athletes, every 0.01 second improvement is very difficult!
While I was in a daze, I suddenly heard a "bang" and the starting gun went off again!
When Guan Sangyue looked up, she was shocked to find that it was a men's sprint competition, and Lu Cheng appeared in the first group!
"Damn it! Isn't he a marathon runner? Why did he participate in the 100-meter race?"
After the starting gun sounded, the eight male contestants rushed out like wild horses!
Lu Cheng started the slowest, others were around 0.15 seconds, but his starting time was 0.3 seconds! It’s not that he reacted slowly, but that he was not used to it!
The starting point requires special training! He has not been trained, so naturally he will not perform well.
But he ran too hard on the way! He caught up with other runners in just a few steps! Then he tilted his head and looked at the crowd, and ran forward at a high speed! Even so, the final score was still fixed at 9.7 seconds!
The referees and track and field officials were stunned!
"What is this guy doing? Can't he just run well?"
To be honest, Lu Cheng also felt embarrassed! Because he was too strong and it was difficult to control the game process. If he accidentally ran into 8 seconds, wouldn't he scare a lot of people to death?
After such a long period of training, his true strength is below 7 seconds! If he works harder, he might be able to finish the race in 6 seconds!
The 100-meter preliminary race ends, followed by the middle-distance race, the long-distance race, the 100-meter semi-final in the afternoon, and the marathon is scheduled for the next morning.
In the semi-finals, Guan Sangyue's time was 10.72 seconds, which was only 0.01 seconds slower than the preliminary round. Her 200-meter time was also very good, making her an excellent sprinter.
Lu Cheng ran 9.57 seconds in the 100-meter semi-finals, which was a lot better than the preliminary round, but it didn't surprise the coach because he had run 9.5 seconds in the marathon sprint.
The 10,000-meter race started at 3:30 in the afternoon. Lu Cheng easily ran 25 minutes and 38 seconds!
This surprises many people, because the world record is 26 minutes and 05 seconds, set by Ethiopian athletes in 2026.
Lu Cheng exceeded the world record by 27 seconds, which is equivalent to challenging the limits of human beings. It shocked everyone, but it was not too strange, because he was also the creator of the best marathon time.
The marathon started at 7 a.m. the next day.
Lu Cheng looked around and saw that most of them were acquaintances.
This time, he did not stop to rest midway, because there was no charming scenery on both sides of the game at the training base. He did not fall into an epiphany, so he would not speed up midway.
He ran at a constant speed all the way down, improving the world's best time by more than ten seconds.
Fortunately, each country allowed three people to register for the Olympics, so Hong Yanming did not challenge him. Hong Yanming seemed to have accepted his fate and followed him honestly and took second place. The third place was Jin Min, relying on
I barely managed to get the ticket in the final sprint.
Next up is the sprint final
Guan Sangyue ran a time of 10.69 seconds in the final and won the women's 100-meter crown!
Lu Cheng ran 9.49 seconds, tying the world record.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, there will be award ceremonies for various competitions.
Lu Cheng was about to receive the award when he suddenly noticed someone walking over.
The person who came was about fifty years old, wearing a suit and tie. He said seriously: "Lu Cheng, please come with me."
Lu Cheng asked: "Who are you?"
The visitor said: "My name is 'Ye Chong', and I am the leader of the national track and field team. Come with me, I have something to ask you."
Lu Cheng followed him into a small building, which contained a clean and tidy office. When he entered, he found Guan Sangyue already sitting inside. In addition, there were two people, an old coach and a woman in charge of recording. Ye Chong said: "Lu Cheng, please sit down. Someone exposed your real name and said that you helped Guan Sangyue cheat! Tell me, is this the case?"
Lu Cheng glared and said, "How is it possible? Who dares to say that I cheat? How could I cheat in public? So many referees are doing it for free? How can I help a top athlete cheat? This is simply a joke!
”
Ye Chong turned his head and looked to the other side: "Guan Sangyue, what did you say? Why did your performance suddenly improve significantly?"

Guan Sangyue said with a cold face: "I practice very hard every day, what's wrong with improving my performance? Besides, the weather in Kunming is so good, can't I run faster?"
Ye Chong said with a serious expression: "Some people say that in order to pass the selection, you did not hesitate to give Lu Cheng 2 million to help you cheat! Is this true?"
Guan Sangyue showed a sneer: "Am I crazy? Why should I give him 2 million?"
Lu Cheng raised his voice slightly and asked: "Did Hu Qikun say that? This is purely slander! He has a grudge against me! As early as the two competitions between Hangzhou Marathon and Xiamen Marathon, he hired people to bump into me!"<
/p>
"Why did he want to harm you?"
"What else could there be? He wanted to steal my girlfriend, so I gave him a gentle lesson and he hated me in his heart."
Ye Chong inquired for about ten minutes, discussed with the old coach for a while, and then said: "This matter is like this for now. There is no basis and no evidence. We will not deal with it. You go back and practice hard and prepare to participate in the training camp..."
Lu Cheng said: "I'm sorry, I don't want to participate in the training camp. My strength is innate, not trained."
Ye Chong said: "If you don't abide by the rules, you won't be able to participate in the Olympics."
"It doesn't matter. I am an amateur athlete, and I don't expect to earn a living. I want to win glory for the country. If the country needs me, I will naturally do my part. If not, then go back and rest."
"Hmph! You go ahead and talk about it later."
Because Lu Cheng's results were so amazing, even Ye Chong did not dare to speak easily and deprive him of the qualification to participate in the Olympic Games.
Lu Cheng and Guan Sangyue received the awards and flew back with Li Hong.
Along the way, they didn't see Hu Qikun. Apparently he didn't dare to show up and left separately.
Li Hong was very satisfied with their results and praised Guan Sangyue repeatedly, saying that she had made great progress and it was surprising!.
