Chapter 68 The cold wave is coming

After a while, Li Kai also came to the lounge and said to Zhang Xiao who was sitting on the sofa: "Zhang Xiao, let's take the car back first. Many people's games today will be in the evening, so we don't have to wait for them."

Zhang Xiao was immediately overjoyed. It was so boring here. There wasn't even a TV in the lounge here, and he didn't bring any papers with him today. He was so bored that he wanted to sleep, but the cheers from the stadium kept him in the mood.

Later, Zhang Xiao and Li Kai returned to the guest house in a bread taxi that was characteristic of this time.

Back at the guest house, Zhang Xiao picked up the math test paper again, but it was not a question, but a summary of the math test papers he had done before. This meant that he was about to complete the high school mathematics course. After the competition, he would just

The remaining two subjects, physics and chemistry, required him to spend some effort studying.

Zhang Xiao, who was immersed in studying, forgot about the time. It was not until he left and knocked on the door to ask him to go to dinner that he realized that it was already past six o'clock and the sky was completely dark. However, the lights in the room were on, so he did not notice it.

changes in time.

"You're such a hardworking kid. You started doing the questions again as soon as you came back." Li Kai looked at Zhang Xiao's brand new notebook and half of it was written in one go. He couldn't help but joked.

"There is no way, physical training is too time-consuming. I have to make good use of every minute, otherwise what will happen if I fail in the college entrance examination next year." Zhang Xiao stretched and then stood up.

"Why are you in such a hurry? You insist on finishing the three-year course in one year, and you still want to go to Huaqing. Do you know that you can easily be beaten by others?" Li Kai complained as he walked away.

"Time is life, and wasting time is wasting life." Zhang Xiao said with a smile, and did not hesitate to attack Li Kai.

"Aren't you afraid that Miss Guo will be unhappy if you don't call her to dinner?" Li Kai simply changed the subject, even going so far as to expose Zhang Xiao's scars.

"It's a pot that doesn't matter, Teacher Li, you have gone bad!" Zhang Xiao was a little helpless. After all, the provincial sports team already knew about this, and it was completely treated as a joke.

Li Kai laughed and ignored Zhang Xiao's rant: "You deserve to be single. You only know how to study, but you don't know that there are more important things in life than studying."

Zhang Xiao smiled coldly and did not refute, but he knew that all romance is only based on enough money, otherwise it would be considered poor.

After dinner, Zhang Xiao took a walk in the yard for a while and then returned to the room, because it was really cold in the yard and it seemed that the temperature had dropped again. This will be another test for tomorrow's game.

Cold weather is a huge challenge for athletes, so generally large-scale competitions such as the Olympic Games will be held in summer or near summer, except for the Winter Olympics.

After Zhang Xiao returned to the room, he felt a little better, but he was still a little cold. He touched the radiator on the wall and found that it was still cold. This made Zhang Xiao confused when the guest house would be heated.

Zhang Xiao moved his body to dissipate the coldness from his body, then sat at the table again and continued to sort out the math papers.

As soon as he got up the next day, Zhang Xiao couldn't help but frown, because today's temperature dropped a bit compared to last night, and he felt colder. However, Zhang Xiao had no time to hesitate, and washed and dressed in one go.

When I finally went out, I wrapped myself in an extra coat.

When Zhang Xiao came to the restaurant, there were not many people there, but his coach Li Kai was already here. Zhang Xiao took a meal and came to Li Kai's side.

"It's a bit cold today." Zhang Xiao put down his dinner plate and said helplessly.

"The cold air is moving south, and the temperature will continue to drop in the past two days. Fortunately, it won't rain and it will be sunny. Otherwise, the impact will be greater." Li Kai put down the spoon in his hand and said.

"You read the weather forecast. Do you know when the guest house will be heated?" Zhang Xiao immediately admired Li Kai. After all, many people don't bother to read the weather forecast.

"I went to ask yesterday. The guest house should be temporarily available today. After all, so many of us live here." Li Kai said with a smile. It was obvious that he had done a good job in preparation.

Zhang Xiao nodded and started to eat. After all, it was getting late. In addition, he had two games in the morning and had to warm up after arriving at the scene, which would take time.

After arriving at the stadium, Zhang Xiao found that the atmosphere of the stadium was still warm. Although the weather was very cold today, it did not affect the enthusiasm of the audience at all. Today's audience still filled the stands.

The 100-meter preliminaries started at nine o'clock. Zhang Xiao was still in the first group, but his track was changed to the fifth track. However, this is not a big deal for athletes.

Zhang Xiao took the time to warm up on the sidelines. After all, the weather was very cold today. If he could not warm up enough, he could easily get injured during the game. Although Zhang Xiao was confident in his physical strength, he did not dare to slack off in the warm-up.

.

At nine o'clock sharp, the eight members of the first qualifying round of the 100-meter race came to their respective positions. Zhang Xiao also took off his outer clothes and squatted on the fifth track.

"Bang!" the starting gun sounded.

All the athletes rushed forward immediately, and Zhang Xiao was no exception. He rushed forward like an arrow, and his speed was getting faster and faster, with no intention of slowing down.

The entire stadium fell into an eerie silence, as if everyone held their breath, waiting for a miracle to happen.

The moment Zhang Xiao hit the line, Zhang Xiao's score was displayed on the electronic timer, but immediately came the second place score. After that, the scores kept flashing one after another, but no one could see clearly what Zhang Xiao's score was.

.

After all the athletes' results are displayed, the first-place result is displayed again.

9.77 seconds!

As soon as Zhang Xiao's results were displayed, all the spectators in the stadium couldn't help but went crazy, and the cheers and roars resounded throughout the stadium.

At this time, the voice on the radio also sounded louder: "Comrade Zhang Xiao, a track and field athlete from Henan Province, achieved a good result of 9.77 seconds in the 100m qualifying competition, breaking the world record of 9.84 seconds just set at this year's Olympic Games.

, he once again created history, and he will be forever recorded in the history of the sports world."

"As a young boy who has just turned sixteen, Comrade Zhang Xiao has achieved excellent results in all three track and field sports he has participated in. Three new world records have since been set. This is not just for him.

Pride is also the pride of our country."

The sound of the broadcast resounded throughout the stadium, and Zhang Xiao was surrounded by many media reporters in addition to Li Kai. Their eyes glowed green when they looked at Zhang Xiao, as if they had seen a wolf hanging on its prey.

"Zhang Xiao, tell me how you feel?"

"Comrade Zhang Xiao, are you proud of your achievement?"

······

Zhang Xiao gasped and looked at the media reporters surrounding him. After a long time, he said: "I am also very proud of achieving such results, but first of all I want to thank the coaches and parents who trained me. They gave me

A healthy body, and secondly, I want to thank our motherland, which allows me to train and study quietly every day, thank you."

After saying that, Zhang Xiao wrapped up his military coat and hurriedly left the field with the help of Li Kai and headed towards the lounge. After all, it was too cold outside. If he didn't take the time to recover, the next 400-meter race would be impossible.

During the game, his condition will never be very good.

After returning to the lounge, Zhang Xiao immediately approached the radiator that had been turned on to restore his body temperature. He then took the hot water from a staff member of the provincial team and drank it in large gulps.

"How is it? Can your body recover?" Li Kai was a little worried about Zhang Xiao's physical condition. After all, it is easier to get sick when the weather is hot and cold, and the next 400-meter qualifying race is less than an hour away.

will start.

"No problem, but the weather here is really too cold. It's only November, how can it be so cold?" Zhang Xiao couldn't help but shuddered and shivered all over.

"Today's outdoor temperature is minus two degrees, and the north wind is level 4. Of course it is cold. The weather forecast says it will be even colder tomorrow, with the highest temperature only being six degrees." Li Xiao said helplessly.

After a long time, Zhang Xiao recovered. After moving his body for a while, Zhang Xiao nodded with some satisfaction. His body had fully recovered, but when he thought about going out to participate in the competition immediately, he suddenly felt like he was going to hell.

"Can I compete in long clothes? The next race is 400 meters. It doesn't matter what clothes I wear." Zhang Xiao asked cautiously.

"Of course not. In that case, it's not a question of grades, but a question of attitude. You will make a big mistake." Li Kai immediately shook his head and refused without hesitation.

Zhang Xiao looked at the time on the wall, sighed and said: "There are still ten minutes left. I'm going to play in my coat. I'll take it off before the game. That's okay!"

Li Kai smiled and said: "Of course that's no problem, but when you get to the arena later, you must keep your body warm and don't get hurt, you know!"

Zhang Xiao nodded and agreed, but he still wrapped his coat and leaned against the radiator, waiting for the game time to arrive.

Ten minutes later, Zhang Xiao walked toward the arena wearing a military coat. Li Kai followed behind, holding Zhang Xiao's clothes, like a nanny.

When Zhang Xiao came to the arena, he immediately found that there were many athletes dressed up like him, and they were all moving continuously and did not dare to stop at all.

At this time, many people in the rostrum were looking at the outdoor stadium with some worry, but Li Guoyi was a little disappointed and angrily scolded the person in charge of the competition: "This is the time you chose, ah, this pair

It is a disaster for athletes. Wearing shorts to compete in sub-zero temperatures is unimaginable. If you are not afraid of the cold, you can stand outside for an hour in your shorts and let me see!"
