Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion-Chapter 876 - 627 Fans and Friends_2
"I didn't, don't talk nonsense."
Tang Yan said, covering her cheek.
"Oh, little girl, your cheek is blushing? Are you in heat? Right, this season is perfect for that."
"Stop teasing."
Tang Yan pushed her and went back to her seat to sit down.
Huff and puff!
Not long after the group sat down, two boys came over supporting each other, gasping for breath.
"Hey, have you all forgotten what you came here for? You're our cheer squad, logistics team, and nurses all in one. Seeing us come off the field, don't you know to give us a hand? Want to watch us collapse here?"
Wen Zhang complained while propping up his knees and sticking out his tongue.
"That's right, we just saw you girls surrounding Link and pouring on the love and warmth from afar. And who is Link? He's our competitor. What you're doing is akin to aiding the enemy, which is a capital offense on the battlefield."
Sun Jian said, sitting on the ground wiping sweat.
Bai Baihe glanced at the two guys, "How many laps did you guys just run?"
Wen Zhang and Sun Jian looked at each other, "12 laps!"
"You're trying to fool us. We were counting while you were running. You two only ran six laps. With that performance, you still brazenly consider Link as your competitor?"
Bai Baihe sneered.
Wen Zhang and Sun Jian glared at her with a sullen face.
"Baihe is right, six laps don't even make five kilometers. You two ran for an hour, barely faster than walking, and you have the nerve to say you're tired," Zhang Yixin said, cutting to the point.
"Five kilometers is still a good ten li. Even if you walked it, you'd be exhausted,"
Wen Zhang picked up the water and gulped it.
"Link ran 10,000 meters in 28 minutes and 17 seconds, only 2 minutes off the world record and a few dozen seconds away from the Olympic record. After finishing, he barely gasped for breath. You should learn from him, exercise more regularly."
Tang Yan said with a smile.
"Who can compare with Link? That guy is simply not human. At the start, I was less than two meters behind him, but once the race began, he zoomed ahead without slowing down at all. We hadn't even run three laps when, suddenly, we saw Link catching up from behind. It's insane."
Wen Zhang complained.
"Link really is a freak. He won the 100 meters and 200 meters in the morning, and in the afternoon, he easily took the 10,000 meters too. I don't even know what his body is made of."
Sun Jian said in admiration.
"Not only is Link fast on his feet, but he also sings beautifully, plays guitar and piano fantastically, plus he's the world boxing champion. Good at both arts and sports, and also so handsome. If he were my boyfriend, that would be great."
Bai Baihe blinked, gazing at Link in the stands, entwining her legs tightly.
"Enough, stop drooling. Link has a girlfriend. You girls don't stand a chance. You should spend more time looking at our Jian'er, who's not much inferior to Link."
Wen Zhang said, putting his arm around Sun Jian's shoulders.
Bai Baihe and Tang Yan, along with the other girls, gave the two boys a glance, snorted softly, and turned their heads away.
Wen Zhang and Sun Jian felt speechless, inwardly sighing and feeling lucky that Link was a student at Sports University. If he were at Central Drama College or Beijing Film Academy, those girls would probably sneak into his dorm in the middle of the night, and all of these guys would end up as bachelors nobody wanted.
After the 10,000 meters race concluded, that also marked the end of today's events.
It is heard that tomorrow Link will also take part in the 1500m and 5000m competitions, and students from Central Drama College, Beijing Film Academy, and other colleges have decided to come and watch again to see how many gold medals Link can win.
Before leaving, Link had a chat with Feng Shuye, the head coach of the National Track and Field Team, and expressed that he would continue to practice running and could accept their guidance, but only after the Olympic Games.
Coach Feng Shuye agreed and, seeing that there were several good-looking girls with great figures waiting for Link in the distance, he wanted to advise Link to abstain from romantic distractions. However, considering that they had only recently met, it would be a bit too much to say such things.
He decided to wait until he was more acquainted with Link to give him this advice.
After their conversation, Link shook hands with Coach Feng and left. He took Zhang Zilin, Du Juan, and Yu Na out for a meal before heading back home to rest.
On the next day, he continued to participate in the 1500m and 5000m races at the Sports University's track and field stadium.
After the 1500m heats, only 23 people qualified for the finals, with Link ranking first in the heats.
During the official race, Link ran on the track with many people in the stands cheering for him, including students from his own university as well as many male and female students from other schools.
This turned the race into Link's home ground as it seemed that the other competitors were just accompanying Link on his run.
Link did not disappoint, finishing the race in 3 minutes and 56 seconds, a whole 31 seconds ahead of the second place, and winning decisively.
The 5000m competition in the afternoon didn't have many participants either, with 57 signing up for the race, and it was a finals-only event.
Link took off at the start and left all other competitors far behind, finishing the race with a time of 13.09 seconds.
He won all five events at the city's college track and field competition.
Not only that, but he also broke the records in all five events, shattering the Asian record in the 10,000m and breaking national records in both the 200m and 5000m.
Link became famous overnight among colleges in the Capital City area with this college competition.
Not only have all major college newspapers published conspicuous articles on his competition results, but media like "Kyoto Evening News", "Huaxia Metropolitan Newspaper", "Huaxia Sports Newspaper" also provided detailed reports on the competition and Link's achievement of winning five titles.
Link's fans, on seeing that besides singing, he can also achieve good results in sports, grew even fonder and more admiring of him.
Through this competition, Link also got to know many students from different universities, including famous actors, TV hosts, economists, barristers, government officials, which were considered an extra gain besides the gold medals.
However, after revealing his strength in the running events, the National Track and Field Team increased their attention on him even more.
His coaching team, in addition to Li Yabing, Dai Li, and Zhao Liwei, grew by six more, including the head coach Feng Shuye, who planned to train him comprehensively.
At the same time, the National Team also increased his living allowance from the original 2000 yuan per month to 6000 yuan, and opened up all facilities at the National Team training base, such as the training field, cafeteria, physiotherapy room, and hospital, free of charge for him.
This also led to other athletes in the National Team jokingly calling him the 'golden boy' of the track and field team.
Link did not deny it, and through this, he got to know many core athletes in the team, including Liu Xiang, Tian Liang, Guo Jinjing, Wu Mingxia, Li Na, Li Xiaopeng, and Liu Guoliang, who were all leading figures in the domestic sports field.
After becoming his head coach in running, Feng Shuye not only taught him how to run but also often advised him against indulgence in sensual pleasures, citing all the consequences it could bring.
Link was so annoyed that he eventually told him the truth: indulgence could help him to relieve fatigue, maintain health and happiness, as it was precisely because of it that he could keep up such high spirits and intense energy.
Therefore, it was absolutely impossible to give it up.
Coach Feng was skeptical but lacked evidence to refute him, so he had to go along with it for now, intending to advise Link again when his performance drops or he encounters relationship issues, hoping for an epiphany then.
Link thought Coach Feng's plan would fail. With the inclusion of running in his daily training, boxing, weightlifting, and increasing the intensity of workouts, even with his strong recovery ability, he would sometimes feel mentally exhausted.
At such times, indulgence was often the most effective medicine to alleviate mental and physical fatigue.
Sometimes it was Zhang Zilin, and when she was not available, he would seek out Xun Ge'er and Gao Yuanyuan, once or twice a week, to great effect.
Apart from Xun Ge'er and Gao Yuanyuan, friends from the fraternity such as Xia Yu, Pu Shu, Princess, Yu Na, Tang Yan, Bai Baihe also often sent him messages to chat about things in their lives, adding some interesting diversions to his increasingly demanding training.
By early May, the Golden Melody Awards ceremony of Taiwan Island arrived, and his agent Zhang Ying contacted him saying that there was a chance for him to win an award. The organizers of the Golden Melody Awards in Taiwan Island also hoped for his attendance, and the cultural department had been in touch with him, too. fгeewebnovёl.com
After some consideration, Link asked for two days off from the National Team and flew to Taiwan Island to attend the award ceremony.
