Viral Orphanage C126
by MarineTLChapter 126: A Natural Barrier
At this moment, the livestream chat was incredibly lively.
Zha Tian Bang1 – Zhao Yao: Everyone, hurry up and guess! Who will take the crown in this round of the short-distance race?
Zhenzhen 123: I’m betting on Song Zhao for the boys’ group and Su Chao for the girls’ group.
Wang Shuo Who Loves Flour Leaves: Seconded!!
Cat-Raising Brat: I think Su Tao from the girls’ group also has a chance to take first place!
Zhenzhen 123: Su Tao? She’s still so small. Compared to Su Chao, isn’t she a bit lacking?
Mo Li: I support the Brat! Zhenzhen upstairs, you’ve probably never seen the way Su Tao sprints toward the canteen, have you?
Mo Li: I’m not exaggerating, Taozi’s short-distance sprinting and high jump abilities are top-notch!
Xian Shi-yi: To be fair, Sister Chao is very strong, but Su Tao isn’t weak either.
Xian Shi-yi: If there was a table at the finish line with things Taozi likes to eat on it, I feel like she would definitely get first place.
Wang Shuo Who Loves Flour Leaves: What do you mean? Is this Taozi a foodie?
Mo Li: No, no, no, she’s not a foodie. She’s a “gourmet connoisseur” (her own words, insert doge face).
Zhenzhen 123: ???
A Cup of Hot Milk Tea: Beer, drinks, mineral water! Sunflower seeds, peanuts, eight-treasure porridge! Come on, friends, tuck your feet in, please-
Ziyou Who Loves Yogurt Buns: ??? Upstairs, did you walk onto the wrong set?
Yue Xiao with the Piercing Gaze: Everyone, have you seen the short videos posted on this account?
Yue Xiao with the Piercing Gaze: They’re pretty fun!
Mo Li: LOL, that’s nothing. Sister, let me tell you, it was even more fun when they were livestreaming before.
…
Amidst everyone’s chatting, the boys’ short-distance race had already concluded.
Just as everyone expected, the first-place winner of the boys’ sprint was indeed the person they guessed: Song Zhao.
Song Zhao’s 100-meter sprint time was 12.28 seconds.
He left the others far behind.
This result was quite impressive for a child’s sprint.
After all, in the standards for National Level 3 Athletes2, the men’s 100-meter time is between 10.61 and 11.00 seconds.
If he could be just over a second faster, he could reach the international standard for Level 3 Athletes.
The most crucial point was: he was still just a child.
He had never received professional training before.
One must know that according to the high school physical education exam standards in a certain high school she knew, a perfect score was 11.3 seconds, and a passing score was 12.8 seconds.
With Song Zhao’s current level, if he went to take a high school physical education exam, he would pass with flying colors.
Sure enough, once the referee announced Song Zhao’s results, a heated discussion broke out again in the comments section of the livestream.
Yun Yi: No way, right? Are the young brothers nowadays all this strong?
Yun Yi: We just had a sprint test in PE class a few days ago, and my 100-meter time was 13.78 seconds.
Hot and Sour Potato Shreds: Ahahaha, you’re not even as good as a kid.
Yun Yi: Tell me about it (bitter smile)!
Too Cool: This kid is a natural-born athlete. If he can get professional training, in time, won’t he become a national-level athlete?
Yun Yi: Upstairs, why don’t you try guessing a bit more boldly?
Yun Yi: For example, he represents China in the quadrennial Olympic Games, makes a stunning debut, and wins the first track and field sprint championship in China’s history.
The Contrarian is Here: Hehehehe! Is your mental state normal?
The Contrarian is Here: So he ran a 12.28, so what? Is that impressive? It’s just average.
The Contrarian is Here: Look at you all, you’re about to blow this boast all the way to the sky.
The Contrarian is Here: Do you know what the world record for the men’s 100-meter sprint is? Less than ten seconds!
The Contrarian is Here: Do you understand the concept of less than ten seconds? Do you?
The Contrarian is Here: You don’t understand it at all!
The Contrarian is Here: As a Chinese person, in terms of physical fitness, there is a natural barrier between us and the athletes from certain other countries.
The Contrarian is Here: Even if you practice until you die, run until you die, you still won’t be able to achieve those kinds of results.
Contrarian Slayer: Dying of laughter! Upstairs, do you not watch the news? Our Chinese God Su3 once ran a record of 9.99 seconds, okay?
Contrarian Slayer: Read more books and newspapers when you have nothing to do, follow the news and learn more. Being a contrarian about everything only makes you look like a joke.
Contrarian Slayer: Understand?
The Contrarian is Here: So what if someone ran 9.99 seconds? Did they get the championship?
The Contrarian is Here: It’s not that I look down on our country’s athletes, and I’m not being a sycophant for foreign things, I’m just discussing the facts.
The Contrarian is Here: It’s simply impossible for our China to win an Olympic gold medal in a track and field sprint event.
