Zizhao Chuan: The Biggest Sportsman

Chapter 435 The Injured Bolt
One hour after the second round of the men's 100-meter preliminaries, it was the semi-finals of the men's 400-meter sprint.Therefore, after Guo Zizhao finished the preliminaries, he returned to the lounge early to relax and massage.

And not far away, Coach Mills also took the opportunity to conduct on-site education to Bolt, who had just started warming up.

"Did you see the 100-meter preliminaries just now! Tsk tsk tsk... so many famous sprinters were eliminated in a moment of carelessness! Look, how fierce the competition is in this 100-meter sprint!" Coach Mills also earnestly said Persuaded, "How much is your current 100-meter score?"

"10 seconds 19! To put it bluntly, even if you participated in this Olympic Games, you would not even pass the preliminaries! Besides, your physical condition is not suitable for practicing 100 meters! So, continue How good it is to practice the 400-meter sprint! Look at you now, you have already entered the semi-finals, and if you work hard in the future, it is not impossible to enter the finals and win medals in the future!"

"But Guo Zizhao said, I have the potential to become a top [-]-meter sprinter!" Bolt said still noncommittal.

"Guo Zizhao, it's Guo Zizhao again!" Coach Mills scratched his head in distress, "Is what Guo Zizhao said must be true?"

"But what Guo Zizhao said is not wrong so far? He said that if he wants to win the championship, he will win the championship. He said that if he wants to break the record, he will break the record! And his prediction that this year's hurdlers will be able to run within 13 seconds, these That’s right! Last year some people called him “The Bragging King”, but now, no one dares to call him that!” When Bolt saw his coach questioning his idol, he hurriedly refuted it.

"Okay! I admit that Guo Zizhao sometimes has a good vision." Coach Mills was also defeated, so he had to back down again, "After this Olympic Games is over, let's see Guo Zizhao's prediction for hurdles. I I don’t believe it, Alan Johnson still can’t beat that Chinese guy named Liu Feifei.”

……

An hour later, the semi-finals of the men's 400-meter sprint officially started.The semi-finals are divided into two groups, and the top four in each group enter the final.

After Xu Ziyu successfully entered the semi-finals yesterday, his confidence also increased greatly.After a day's rest, it can be said that he played his best level in the first group match.

Xiao Xu actually ran 44 seconds again, and was lucky to enter the final as the fourth place in the group.The two American players Wariner and Harris won the top two in the first group.Another place to enter the final was won by Jamaican player Simpson.

In the subsequent second group competition, Guo Zizhao was still thriving.After running naked again easily, Guo Zizhao won No.43 in the semi-final with a time of 71 seconds.

In this group of competitions, the young Jamaican player Usain Bolt was indeed hit by Guo Zizhao's crow's mouth.The future Jamaican "Lightning" only ran 45 seconds in this field that was not dominant, ranked fifth in the group, and was unfortunately eliminated.The other three finalists are American Blue, Ghanaian Clark and Jamaican Frank.

After the list of finals came out, the international track and field circles looked at it again.The US team has 3 finalists, and Jamaica and China have 2 finalists. In today's competition, these sprint powerhouses are very strong!Especially the Chinese team, actually won 2 more places in the finals. Damn...the Chinese team is going to go to heaven this time!

Xu Ziyu was also ecstatic after seeing the results, haha... I finally entered the finals too!I finally caught up with my teammates!Although, there is still no possibility of winning a medal, but being able to enter the Olympic finals, I will be worth it in this life...

……

Compared with Xu Ziyu's joy, Bolt, who was eliminated, was a little depressed.Unexpectedly, Guo Zizhao was right, his current strength in the 400 meters, really can't even make it to the finals!
What worried Bolt even more was that after the game, his left ankle began to ache.Although it doesn't feel like a serious problem for the time being, Bolt's heart is also cast a shadow.

In fact, shortly after he began to practice the 100-meter sprint last year, Bolt felt occasional discomfort in his left ankle.It's just that the duration is very short and the frequency of appearance is very low, so Bolt didn't take it seriously.

Although coach Mills often asked about his physical condition, how could the competitive Bolt tell the coach the truth?I finally won this opportunity to practice the 100-meter sprint. If the coach knew that I felt unwell, wouldn't all the previous efforts be in vain?Didn't I just lose the opportunity to become the "king of sprinting" like Guo Zizhao?

In addition, this feeling of discomfort is not obvious, so the young Bolt just ignored the past.

But what Bolt didn't expect was that after entering this year, with the increase in the amount of training and the pressure of preparing for the Olympics, this feeling of discomfort became more obvious and occurred more frequently.It even happened several times during training, which almost made Coach Mills notice something strange.

It's just that these anomalies were all fooled by the face-saving Bolt with various reasons.In order not to affect the preparations for the Olympics, Bolt decided to hide it for the time being, at least wait until the end of the Olympics before telling the coach the truth.

……

However, yesterday when Bolt went to Guo Zizhao for an autograph, and when Guo Zizhao warned Bolt to be careful of injury due to excessive practice, Bolt still refused to admit defeat, but he was secretly muttering in his heart.

Especially later, when Guo Zizhao told himself that practicing too many curves would put great pressure on his ankles when his body was not yet mature, Bolt was even more horrified!

Is it true that I also practice too many corners? Both 200 meters and 400 meters include a lot of corner training!In addition, since last year, I have increased the amount of training and started to practice the 100-meter sprint!Now that my ankle is so uncomfortable, is it true that I can't bear the pressure?Is this a sign of injury?
Bolt, who was still hesitating, didn't expect that after the semi-finals, the damn ankle started to hurt again, and as time went by, the pain not only didn't ease, but it felt more serious!
When Bolt got up the next day and found that his left ankle was swollen, Bolt knew that he was in big trouble this time!

"Why didn't you say it earlier!" After listening to Bolt's narration, and looking at this guy whose ankle was swollen like a piece of bread, Coach Mills was so angry, why did his disciple refuse to let him go? Don't worry!I told myself thousands of times, and I had to tell myself if something was wrong.I didn't expect... This face-saving guy has been hiding it for so long. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't keep it this time, he might still be stubborn!

"Ah... the results of the examination came out, the ankle ligaments are moderately strained, soft tissue edema, old minor fractures, and chronic plantar fasciitis! Usain... If you continue to torment like this, you will have to give yourself a hard time." It's useless!" Coach Mills also said distressedly, "Whatever happens in the future, you must tell me in time!"

"Hey... I didn't expect it to be so serious this time." Bolt also said with some embarrassment.

"You..." Coach Mills also shook his head, and said with self-blame, "It's also because I was too careless. I should have thought about it a long time ago. With your character, you must not be so honest..."
