Guo Lei glared at Wei Min, “How could you call me that in front of all the junior boys and girls?”
Wei Min looked around and said, “They are all junior girls, I don’t see any boys!”
“That’s even worse!”
“Hmph! Paying more attention to the girls than your friend!”
Su Mian did not stay to watch the next event as the preliminary round of her 200m sprint was coming up while the 100m sprint was in the afternoon.
When Su Mian arrived, Hao Dong Min was discussing techniques with Zhang Yan Jie. Although he and Guo Lei did not like Zhang Yan Jie, they had to put their hope in her for the 200m sprint.
As for Su Mian, they did not have much hope; it was uncertain if she could even make it to the final round.
When Guo Lei finished his competition, he came over to cheer for Zhang Yan Jie and Su Mian, but mainly for Zhang Yan Jie.
Afterall, there was still hope that Zhang Yan Jie could score some points.
“Zhang Yan Jie, during the 200m…” Guo Lei thought of Su Mian and signalled at her, “Su Mian, come over, I’ll give both of you some advice on the sprint.”
Su Mian wore a pair of white shorts and t-shirt, revealing her slender legs. Guo Lei felt like Su Mian was not here to compete in a race but a pageant.
Mmm-hmm, Guo Lei cleared his throat. At this moment, Hao Dong Min came over to help while the other class representatives remained seated.
Looking at the two girls who looked so delicate, they had no hope in them. Yang Qian from Year 3 Class 5 had a pair of strong legs, one could see the muscles tense when she moved. She was not tall and looked very sturdy, each of her legs was the size of both of Su Mian’s.
The athletes who participated in sprints were usually not that tall as it required abdominal strength. A person that was too tall had less abdominal strength.
At this moment, Yang Qian arrived at the venue. There were people beside her who provided towels and a bucket of water. She was a professional who attracted everyone’s attention the moment she appeared.
Guo Lei coughed twice to get the attention of Su Mian and Zhang Yan Jie, “As I was saying, you should…”
Su Mian’s physical strength was not at its peak right now. She did her homework last night and read a little about sports science which was similar to what Guo Lei was telling them.
But Su Mian thought that everyone was different and the control of speed depended on the individual’s circumstance, so she didn’t pay much attention to Guo Lei. Her gaze was always on Yang Qian who stood behind Guo Lei.
“Do you understand?” Guo Lei’s throat was dry from all the talking but the two girls looked more and more distracted. He noticed that Su Mian kept looking at someone else and his expression darkened. This girl was so frustrating, why did she have to act rashly when provoked.
Now that she wasn’t even paying attention to him, he said harshly, “Su Mian, what are you looking at? It’s almost the preliminary round, I am telling you now that you have to be at least second last!”
Hao Dong Min saw that Guo Lei was frustrated and immediately took over, “Alright, let’s just do our best, Guo Lei was just talking about the techniques, during the race, you have to be flexible and adapt accordingly. Also remember to be safe and don’t injure yourselves.”
What a high level speech!
Su Mian secretly approved of Hao Dong Min’s words. It was quite unexpected of him to be so thoughtful.
It was announced that the Year 3 Women’s Group A 200m preliminary race was about to start. Since Zhang Yan Jie belonged in this group, she walked towards the designated area.
“Zhang Yan Jie, break a leg!” Guo Lei made a fist at Zhang Yan Jie before she left.
