When the athletes were ready, they heard a bang from the gun and the eight athletes shot forward like bullets. Using the term ‘bullets’ was not an exaggeration at all. After all, it was the 100 metre, not 200 metre race where everyone would hold back at the beginning.
In the 100 metre, if you hold back then the others will finish running.
Yang Qian’s speed was even more extreme. In just 30 metres, she had taken a 3 metre lead from the others.
Zhang Yan Jie was also placed second at the start, close behind Yang Qian.
Moreover, Su Mian, who attracted everyone’s attention, was only in the middle.
Sure enough, there was no drama!
Guo Lei covered his eyes and could only look at Zhang Yan Jie now. As long as she could maintain her second place, their class still had a chance to win the championship!
40 metres, 50 metres, 60 metres, Yang Qian was in the lead the whole way. Even Zhang Yan Jie in second place had fallen behind to a five metres difference.
Yang Qian knew that she had to create the biggest gap in the first half as the last ten metres were Su Mian’s forte.
Su Mian was still in the middle, even a little behind, with only two people behind her.
70 metres…
At this time, Su Mian began to speed up like a bullet, charging towards the end.
She overtook one, then another, and finally…
The third year class six students were all like Guo Lei, focusing all of their attention on Zhang Yan Jie in the first half of the game, but…
Ho ho ho!
The whole class was chanting, then they covered their faces.
How could she be so careless, falling flat on her face!
Crap, she had lost face to this extent in front of all the teachers and students in the school. It was estimated that apart from Zhang Yan Jie, no one else had done this.
The tracks in this era were all dirt paths and there might be pebbles in some places.
Zhang Yan Jie knelt on the ground for a long time without getting up. Both her knees and palms were burning fiercely. Why did she have to slip and fall? She herself felt that this time she had disgraced even her grandmother.
When Sun Ying went over and helped her up, Zhang Yan Jie kept her head down as she limped back.
Feeling like they would not get a single point in this race?
Guo Lei was so angry that he smashed his pen and paper on the table. Right now, their class was ahead of third year class five by seven points in total and the rest of the events were all relays. Guo Lei calculated and in the end, they would still have a five point difference with third year class five.
In other words, will their class lose to third year class five again this year by just two points?
Clang!
Guo Lei kicked the leg of the table in front of him with his own leg in anger and it was so painful that he hugged his leg and cried.
Women, none of them were reliable!
Not to mention Su Mian who was still third from last with 30 metres left. If she could catch up, it would be a miracle.
When Su Mian came back and sat down, a classmate gave her a glass of water, “Su Mian you’re great, just do your best.”
Su Mian nodded faintly, then sipped. After the race, she felt like she was completely hollowed out. She wanted to go back to the dormitory and lie on her bed.
Next were a few men’s and women’s relay competitions. Guo Lei and Hao Dong Min were not affected at all by the women’s 100 metre race just now. What they could do now was just to try their best.
When the last relay race was over, it was announced that the two-day sports meet was over. The classes began to reorganise and the athletes returned to their teams to wait for the organising committee to announce the results for each class.
Third year class six students were not in high spirits. Guo Lei and Hao Dong Min had analysed their situation long ago. Now that they did not win the 100 metre race their class could only be in second place again.
At this time, Principal Sun took the competition results and walked to the podium. He said a few bureaucratic words in the beginning, then quickly got to the point that the teachers and students were most interested in.
“In third place for the third year’s sports competition is third year class two.”
