When you do everything to the extreme

Chapter 27. Breaking the Chinese athlete's full marathon record and winning the championship! Simmons and Ed's protest!
Magic City Men's Professional Marathon!
The sprint for the last few hundred meters has begun.

but!

Simmons and Horus, two top runners ranked seventh and eighth among the top ten in the international marathon, have no physical strength to sprint at this time. They can only maintain their current speed by relying on their strong willpower. Their bodies have reached their limits.

Liu Yang, Cai Jikun and others who followed behind were in almost the same situation.

The breathing of several people became a little disordered and their steps became frivolous.

They were in almost this state more than ten minutes ago. If they hadn't looked at the back of No. 1987 who was leading in front of them and thought that he was just an amateur athlete, which motivated them not to fall behind, they might have fallen far behind.

They now looked at the figure in the front again, feeling as if they were looking at a monster.

In the second half, Simmons, Horus, and Liu Yang were all watching Wang Xiao's running rhythm carefully, expecting that Wang Xiao would run out of energy halfway through, fall behind quickly, and become lost in the crowd.

but……

Wang Xiao's running rhythm and speed have remained almost unchanged. The distance of each step seems to be exactly the same, and the running movements of each step are almost exactly the same. He is just like a robot with a set running program.

Until now, they have not seen any obvious changes in Wang Xiao's running rhythm and speed.

And they themselves can no longer hold on.

As for Ed who was knocked down in front, he was now in the last row of contestants. His face was numb and he had passively accepted the current outcome. He just looked through the contestants from time to time, looking at No. 1987 who was already unclear in the front, his eyes full of surprise and annoyance.

They had no idea that China had such a marathon runner!
"come on……"

"Wang Xiao, come on..."

"Wang Xiao...come on..."

……

As the day progressed, the voices cheering for Wang Xiao grew louder and louder.

Everyone knows from the host’s commentary that a super dark horse has appeared in this Shanghai Men’s Professional Marathon, and he is a Chinese athlete!
This makes many people very excited.

A Chinese athlete won the marathon?
This is something many of them had never dared to imagine before.

After all, the best result of Chinese athletes is only top 20 in the world, while this time there are three marathon runners in the top 10 in the world.

No one dared to think that Chinese athletes could win the championship!

Watching Wang Xiao getting closer and closer.

The host's voice also became excited. "Here they come! There are only the last 100 meters to the finish line. Wang Xiao still maintains an absolute lead and maintains a very stable pace. Simmons, who is in second place, is over 40 meters away. Horus, who is in third place, is over 50 meters away from Wang Xiao. It is almost impossible for them to catch up with Wang Xiao. It is also worth praising that several Chinese athletes also ran well."

"Liu Yang ranked fourth, Li Xinyong ranked fifth, and Cai Jikun ranked sixth..."

"Now let us witness with our own eyes the birth of China's first marathon champion..."

The cheers at the scene became louder.

Chen Tian, ​​Zhang Jun, Li Zhixin and other people in the sports circle fell silent at this moment, all nervously watching Wang Xiao as he got closer and closer to the finish line.

The closer they are to success, the more nervous they become, fearing any accidents may happen.

Zhang Jun glanced around from time to time, on high alert.

If anyone in the crowd wanted to rush out and stop Wang Xiao from winning, Zhang Jun would immediately rush over to protect Wang Xiao and help him finish the last 100 meters.

In the crowd, Yang Xiaoyu's pretty face was also full of seriousness. She did not cheer loudly, but tried her best to follow Wang Xiao's running speed and move ahead in the crowd. Her eyes were still looking around vigilantly at all times. Once someone wanted to rush out, she would not hesitate to stop him with all her strength, or even directly cripple him!
Guo Wenqian and Li Bowen couldn't keep up with Yang Xiaoyu's speed and fell behind for a distance!
In a nearby hospital.

Li Zhengguang, Wang Feng, Zhou Hua, and the driver were lying in a ward. Their bodies were bandaged and they could not move, but their eyes were fixed on the TV screen on the wall.

Seeing that Wang Xiao was about to win the championship, the expressions of several people were very complicated, with excitement, regret, and a hint of fear!
If they had known that Wang Xiao had a chance to win the championship in such a top professional competition, they might not have dared to stop Wang Xiao.

As people in the sports circle, they know how difficult it is for Chinese athletes to win a marathon. This is definitely a historic breakthrough. If they destroy this breakthrough, they will never be able to make a living in the sports circle again and will become the enemy of the entire sports circle.

Now, the three of them have begun to think about their future as they can no longer stay in the sports circle.

Thinking of Yang Xiaoyu's cruelty, they didn't even dare to stay in the Demon City.

……

huh... huh... huh...

In the last 100 meters, Wang Xiao's breathing remained as steady as at the beginning, and his pace maintained the same rhythm. The power technique of his bouncing legs and his internal breathing became like instincts to his body.

He didn't look at the information on the panel, but he was certain in his heart that he had gained a lot of experience points.

The internal breathing and leg-boosting power techniques of Liuhequan are becoming increasingly easier and more satisfactory.

In the last few dozen meters.

Wang Xiao suddenly accelerated again, and the distance between him and Simmons and Horus behind him was even greater, more than sixty or seventy meters, which made the two of them despair again.

The audience and the host also exclaimed.

"He's still accelerating! Our Chinese athlete Wang Xiao still has the energy to accelerate in the last few dozen meters. He's amazing, amazing!"

The host yelled in shock. Chen Tian, ​​Zhang Jun, and Li Zhixin all stood at the finish line, pacing nervously, but their eyes didn't dare to leave Wang Xiao.

Under everyone's gaze!

Wang Xiao no longer conserved his strength in the last few dozen meters, increased his speed, and increased the strength of his legs. It seemed that the height of his strides did not change, but the distance of his launch increased a little bit with each step, so in fact the distance of each step increased, and his speed also increased significantly.

woohoo hoo...

Wang Xiao looked at the finish line that was so close, and he became a little excited, and rushed out with all his might!
Zhang Jun, Li Zhixin, Chen Tian and other staff members rushed forward before the finish line and tried to hug Wang Xiao to prevent him from falling.

but……

A graceful figure rushed out from the crowd, one step ahead of them. After Wang Xiao's body crossed the finish line, she hugged Wang Xiao's waist and then hugged Wang Xiao tightly to prevent him from falling.

Wang Xiao was stunned for a moment, then he smelled a familiar scent and saw the beautiful and delicate face close to him. It was indeed Yang Xiaoyu.

Yang Xiaoyu once again transformed into the gentle and graceful girl from the south of the Yangtze River. Her pretty face flushed slightly as she smiled at Wang Xiao, "Amazing! You really won the championship!"

Wang Xiao gently reached out to support Yang Xiaoyu's shoulders, asking her to loosen her waist. He wasn't yet at the point where he couldn't stand steadily. It was actually easier than the last time he ran an amateur race. He smiled and said, "Thank you..."

At this time.

The host shouted excitedly, "He won! He won! Our Chinese athlete Wang Xiao really won! Let's take a look at his results. The final time is two hours, four minutes, and fifty-nine seconds! Yes... Our champion Wang Xiao ran a time of two hours and four minutes. He broke the fastest marathon record for our Chinese athletes... and improved it by a full two minutes..."

The host no longer mentioned that Wang Xiao was an amateur athlete. After all, the Athletics Association leader was right next to him. Emphasizing that an amateur athlete won the championship would be a slap in the face of the Athletics Association.

The audience around also screamed even more excitedly.

"Wang Xiao..."

"Wang Xiao..."

“Wang Xiao…”

"Wang Xiao......"

One after another, they called out Wang Xiao's name loudly.

Chen Tian, ​​Zhang Jun, and Li Zhixin were all trembling with excitement, their faces flushed red.

They didn't expect that Wang Xiao not only won the championship, but also broke the marathon record of Chinese athletes.

Of course, with top international athletes participating, if Chinese athletes want to win the championship, they have to surpass Simmons, Horus and other top ten international athletes. To do that, they must break the full marathon record of Chinese athletes!
Because the best result of domestic marathon runners before was set by Liu Yang last year, which was two hours, six minutes and fifty seconds!
Originally, Liu Yang also broke the record he set last year today. He just crossed the finish line in two hours, six minutes and thirty seconds, which was more than twenty seconds faster than last year!

If it weren't for Wang Xiao, he would definitely be widely reported by domestic sports media.

but……

Compared with Wang Xiao's victory and record-breaking performance, which was even faster than his, the results of Liu Yang and others seemed to pale in comparison, and basically no one paid any attention to them.

This is sports competition!

Everyone only cares about number one.

Chen Tian hurried forward and grabbed Wang Xiao's hand, saying excitedly: "Contestant Wang Xiao, congratulations on winning the championship, and breaking the record. Congratulations, congratulations..."

Wang Xiao shook hands with Chen Tian: "Thank you!"

Zhang Jun also quickly came over and shook hands with Wang Xiao. "Master Wang, I never thought you could actually win the championship and break the record, improving your time by two minutes. That's amazing! Your talent has really been buried. Come join our Athletics Association. This is Director Chen, the person in charge of our Athletics Association in Shanghai. Director Chen also hopes that you can join our Athletics Association. We can allow you to receive more professional training, participate in higher-level competitions, and achieve better results..."

Wang Xiao didn't want to talk about this right now. He still needed to check the information on the dashboard before he could say anything. He smiled at Chen Tian and Zhang Jun and said, "Thank you for your kindness. I'll think about it carefully. I'll talk about it after I rest for two days."

Zhang Jun wanted to say more, hoping to take the opportunity to persuade Wang Xiao.

However, Chen Tian smiled and said, "Of course, Wang Xiao must be exhausted after this record-breaking victory. He should rest well and think about it. In a couple of days, we will go meet Wang Xiao and talk in person!"

Obviously, now is not the time to talk about this.

Wang Xiao nodded to Chen Tian.

The surrounding cameras, mobile phone cameras, still cameras, etc. never stopped, capturing the scene of Wang Xiao winning the championship from various angles.

Simmons, who was in second place, and Horus, who was in third place, both looked very unhappy. Their results were both more than two hours and five minutes, which was a little slower than their best results. Their results in the international rankings were both more than two hours and four minutes.

If it were in the past, when they came to China to compete and crossed the finish line, there would definitely be a large number of spectators cheering for them, and the organizers would take care of them.

But now, everyone's attention is focused on Wang Xiao who won the championship.

No one cares about second and third place.

Even Liu Yang, Cai Jikun, and Li Xinyong, who are also Chinese athletes, are no longer cared about, even though their performance is not bad and they are worthy of praise under normal circumstances.

Everyone only cares about the birth of China's first marathon champion!
Simmons, who was in second place, grew increasingly angry. Once he had regained some strength, he shouted, "I protest! I demand an immediate urine test. I suspect he's taken drugs."

"There's no way an amateur can run that fast."

Ed, who had just crossed the finish line with the majority of the group, also came directly in front of the camera and shouted with difficulty, panting: "I protest! You used despicable means to knock me down. Otherwise, I would definitely win the championship..."
