Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion-Chapter 875 - 627 Fans and Friends

After resting at noon, in the afternoon, Link returned to the Sports University track to participate in the 10,000 meters long distance running event.

The event has high physical requirements for the athletes, and out of over seventy colleges, only 52 people signed up to participate.

After the race began, Link quickly accelerated to the lead, and although there were competitors vying with him in the first two laps, attempting to take the lead, his speed was too fast and his stamina too strong, maintaining his pace even over two large laps without slowing down.

By the third lap, he had left the second and third place far behind, and by the sixth lap, he had already lapped the last runner, successfully completing the loop.

By the ninth lap, he had lapped the second place by an entire lap.

Ultimately, he finished the course in 28 minutes and 17 seconds, winning the champion of the 10,000 meters event.

"28 minutes 17 seconds! Very good, really good, only about two minutes behind the world record, I believe he would run even faster at the World Championships or the Olympics."

The head coach of the National Track and Field Team, Feng Shuye, was thrilled, clutching his stopwatch.

"Indeed, other athletes are exhausted to the point of collapsing after running the whole distance, while he still seems to have plenty of energy. Going to the national competitions, his results will definitely be much better,"

the deputy head coach Yu Liwei nodded and said.

In track events, short distance running requires higher technical skills, whether it's the start or the sprint, the technique has a significant impact.

Whereas long-distance running requires less technical skill, focusing more on the athlete's stamina, endurance, and sense of rhythm.

Another important factor is the strength of the competitors.

The stronger the opponent, the more they can bring out an athlete's abilities.

In this collegiate league, there were not many masters in the 10,000 meters event, which resulted in Link not being under much pressure during the whole race, unable to push him to his full potential.

If his competitors were a group of top long-distance runners, the increased pressure on him would make him speed up continually in the race, and the final results would definitely be better than 28 minutes 17 seconds.

Therefore, Coach Feng Shuye believes that Link can run faster.

This also shows that Link has even greater potential in this area.

"We must transfer this Link to our track team, and I want to personally train him,"

Head Coach Feng Shuye said.

"Link is originally from our track team, it's just that he is practicing shot put and javelin, and by the way, he is also a key member of the Boxing team. Tsk, this Link, he is probably a true athletic genius,"

Deputy Head Coach Yu Liwei said, slapping his thigh.

Upon hearing this, Coach Feng Shuye furrowed his brows – there are very few all-around athletes in the world, and it's rare for someone to achieve great results in different types of sports, mainly due to the limitations of human physique.

Training in too many sports can lead to injuries, muscle breakdown, tendon and bone injuries, and even myocarditis or heart disease.

To prevent injuries to the athlete, the coaching team strictly controls the training time, diet, rest, and regularly checks on their health.

And Link not only trains in boxing but also practices shot put and javelin, which are sports that demand a high level of physical fitness, with a huge amount of daily training.

If he also adds long and short distances running, Link's body won't be able to take it.

However, currently, Link has shown extraordinary prowess and talent in track events, and with proper training, he will surely become a main force in running events for the National Team, and perhaps become a secret weapon for winning international competitions.

It would be a pity to give up on such an athletic talent.

Since giving up is not an option, the issue now is how to find a balance among these events so that Link can manage all of them.

This will likely be very challenging to accomplish.

Coach Feng Shuye sighed with a sense of helplessness, deciding to have a good talk with Link after the competition ends and to hold a seminar focusing on Link's situation to come up with a scientifically reasoned plan.

"Hey, this Link is pretty popular with the girls,"

Coach Yu Liwei laughed as he saw Link surrounded by a group of female students after the race.

Hearing this, Coach Feng Shuye frowned even more. Being popular with women can be like a bone-scraping steel knife, many genius athletes perform exceptionally well before getting involved with women but suffer a dramatic decline after falling in love or getting married.

Link being so popular with the girls might not be such a good thing.

This issue must also be taken seriously, and Link must be advised more about it afterward.

After completing the 10,000 meters and stepping down from the podium, he was surrounded by a group of campus reporters asking him all sorts of messy questions. He dealt with them briefly before encountering a group of enthusiastic female fans, all students from various colleges, including some familiar faces like Lily, Tang Yan, Jiang Yiyi, Guan Yue, and others. freёnovelkiss.com

Throughout these competitions, these female fans were present, cheering from the sidelines, it was uncertain if they were there specifically to cheer for him or for their own school athletes.

After greeting and asking for autographs and photos with the girls, Link chatted with them for a bit, took some photos, and then went to rest.

"Link is so handsome, he sings so well, and he's so good at sports, I'm now a die-hard fan of his,"

Lily said while looking at Link's departing figure.

"Don't get carried away, he's got a girlfriend,"

Zhang Yixin said unhappily, noting that Link sat down next to a tall girl in the stands, twisting her lips. All of them were beautiful girls loved by everyone, but had not expected that they would stand no chance once they encountered Link, the top handsome guy.

"So what if he has a girlfriend, I like him not his girlfriend,"

Lily said, playing with her camera.

"Are you considering being the other woman? That sounds quite exciting, I support you,"

"What nonsense are you talking about,"

Lily pushed Tong Yao aside, then teasingly looked at Tang Yan next to her and teased, "Even if someone is going to snatch Link it wouldn't be me, just look at Tang Yan, when she looks at Link, her eyes are practically melting."
