by MarineTLChapter 127: Girls’ Short-Distance Race
The people in the livestream were filled with righteous indignation after seeing the comment posted by The Contrarian is Here.
Blue Lotus: Give it a rest, will you? Just because it hasn’t happened before doesn’t mean it won’t happen in the future.
Little Su: What do you mean it’s impossible? China is a vast nation with a wealth of talent. What kind of genius do we not have?
Little Su: As for you, all you do is spew filth and embarrass our country.
Little Su: If you’re Chinese and you look down on your own people, who do you expect will look up to you?
Contrarian Slayer: Didn’t our Chinese athlete Liu Xiang win an Olympic gold medal?
Contrarian Slayer: Before he became the hurdles champion, who would have thought that the hurdles gold medal in that Olympic Games would be taken by a Chinese person?
Contrarian Slayer: Just because you can’t do something or haven’t seen something, does that mean others can’t do it? Does it mean it doesn’t exist?
Contrarian Slayer: There’s plenty of time ahead. Let’s wait and see. What’s your hurry?
Contrarian Slayer: Regardless, I believe that one day, our Chinese athletes will stand on the podium for track and field events at the Olympic Games.
User: Seconded!
Qian Gui: Agreed!
Old Lady Su, the Black-Hearted Poison Saint: Agreed +1!
Chen Ling: Agreed + ID card number1!
The Contrarian is Here: Heh! Brainwashing yourselves now? Is that how it is?
The Contrarian is Here: If a Chinese athlete really wins a gold medal in an Olympic track and field event, I’ll livestream myself washing my hair while doing a handstand. Seriously!
Ban Xia: Hey, person above, are you a professional contrarian athlete? What’s the big deal about washing your hair in a handstand? If you’ve got the guts, livestream yourself eating crap!
Shen Youzhu y: One look and I can tell he was a barbell2 in his past life. Heh!
Xian Shi-yi: I think the road ahead is long, and it’s not impossible for Chinese people to win track and field championships.
Xian Shi-yi: Just looking at the children we’ve seen in the livestream so far, there are several with great talent.
Xian Shi-yi: Not to mention, this is only the beginning.
Xian Shi-yi: China is a massive place; there are talented people everywhere.
Li Mingyue: Yes, yes, yes! I support what my sister said!
Sunset and Gu Hong: I feel like that boy who just took first place in the boys’ short-distance race will only get stronger if he trains properly.
Seeing My Ran Across Dimensions: Absolutely! Song Zhao is participating in a short-distance race for the first time. If he practices more, he’ll definitely run faster.
Ning’er Who Loves Bitter Bamboo Shoots with Beef: Friends, aren’t you looking forward to the girls’ short-distance race?
Chen Ling: I am, I am! So, when exactly does the girls’ race start?
Chen Ling: Su Chao vs. Su Tao! I bet Su Chao will win. After all, her legs are longer than Su Tao’s.
Qian Gui: My bet is on Su Tao. Her legs might be shorter, but her explosive power is incredible!
…
Everyone in the livestream was chatting enthusiastically, their spirits high.
They even started placing bets on Su Chao and Su Tao.
Meanwhile, on the field, the girls’ short-distance race officially kicked off.
The spectators at the scene had no idea about the various discussions happening in the livestream.
However, they were similarly speculating about who would take first place between Su Chao and Su Tao.
As the whistle blew.
The girls’ short-distance race officially began.
Possessing excellent endurance and fairly long legs, Su Chao reacted quickly and charged forward the moment she heard the whistle.
Of course, Su Tao didn’t fall behind at all.
Her reaction time was actually 0.1 seconds faster than Su Chao’s.
From the moment the race officially started, Su Tao’s expression became exceptionally solemn and serious.
She was even muttering something under her breath.
Those who didn’t know better might have thought she was telling herself not to be nervous, to work hard, and to keep going.
But Su Chao, standing right next to her, heard it loud and clear.
“For the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, charge, charge, charge!”
“Buddha Jumps Over the Wall… slurp… wait for me!”
“…” Su Chao was speechless.
Soon, the race was over.
The first-place winner in the girls’ group was… Su Tao.
Her time was 12.21 seconds.
Second place was Su Chao, with a time of 12.27 seconds.
As soon as the referee announced these results, it caused a massive stir both at the scene and in the livestream.
Even Lu Qingqiang and Master Zhao were stunned.
The result Su Tao achieved already met the national level-three athlete standard3!
She was even faster than Song Zhao, the first-place winner of the boys’ group.
Not to mention, she was just a child under five years old.
She… she was truly too powerful!
It had to be said that for Su Tao, delicious food was truly the ultimate motivation!
Translator’s Notes
- Agreed + ID card number: A Chinese internet slang (赞同+身份证号) used to express the highest possible level of agreement. By adding one’s ID number, the user implies their support is absolute, unique, and legally binding. ↩
- barbell: A pun on the term ‘contrarian’ (杠精, gàngjīng). In Chinese, the first character ‘gang’ (杠) is the same for both ‘barbell’ (杠铃) and ‘lifting/arguing’ (擡杠). Calling someone a ‘barbell’ implies they are a ‘heavyweight’ or ‘reincarnated’ professional at arguing for the sake of it. ↩
- national level-three athlete standard: Part of China’s official ‘Athlete Technical Grade’ system. Achieving this standard at under five years old is physically extraordinary, as it is typically a benchmark for trained adolescent or adult amateur athletes. ↩
